YM778.TV Chapter 11: Be Good to You (2)
I couldn’t comprehend her tear-stained face and her bowed head.
Those three seemed to be standing without any resistance.
Even if her talent had not yet bloomed, it didn’t make sense.
The memories passed by in my mind as I watched them.
-Why did you start hunter activity so late? It would have been easier to start as soon as you graduated from the academy.
Once upon a time, I asked her that question.
-… just. And I didn’t go to the academy.
Yu Ji-Yeon’s bright face suddenly darkened when she heard the question.
-Why, because there is nothing to learn in the academy or something?
-Huh. There’s really no way to learn from that. Whoo, you have to be at some level to learn. Who taught me?
-Haha, that’s right. I also dropped out of the academy.
She answered jokingly, but there seemed to be some truth in it.
-Okay… You don’t have to go like that. It’s a bad place …
-Yeah?
-No. Just think of the old days.
Yoo Ji-Yeon smiled pleasantly, but there was clearly something she wasn’t saying.
I didn’t ask any further then but recalling the situation now …
‘… I couldn’t stand it, and I dropped out. ‘
The event that unfolds right now and Yoo Ji-Yeon’s attitude at that time was in perfect harmony.
Besides, it was a very famous anecdote that the flowering of her talent was long delayed.
-No need to give up right away. I didn’t know what magic was until I was twenty.
The thick voice lingered in my head.
Some people said it was a word spoken to give hope to talented wizards, but now I was double-checking that her words were right.
She is timider than I remember. She was being bullied at the academy. I didn’t even know that Yoo Ji-Yeon was from Hwayeon. Everyone is right.
She didn’t have a talent.
No, it’s only because she doesn’t seem talented.
She will become a swan in the future, but now she was only an ugly duckling.
So, she became timid, didn’t endure, never graduated from the academy, and eventually made her debut as a hunter at a much later time.
Sigh.
No matter how late the talents bloom, the academy’s existence is significant to the young awakeners.
If Ji-Yeon Yoo had not dropped out, she would have made her name known to the world in at least three years.
“Because we can easily be honest and good to each other. Huh?”
So, if there hadn’t been such an act, I would have easily stopped 20% of future events.
As I thought so, a wave of slight anger rose within me.
One of the reasons I struggled without Yoo Ji-Yeon was because of the bullying of the cadets.
Perhaps if I left that scene now, Yoo Ji-Yeon would drop out of the academy again, and I would have no talent.
‘… With Yoo Ji-Yeon, my plan will be much easier. ‘
Maybe we can stop the first disaster before it happens.
Her presence was invaluable.
‘Then there’s only one thing left to do.’
Planning made easy, but there was no reason not to move.
Tuck.
Without hesitation, I took a step forward.
“Don’t shut up. Share something good…”
“Hey.”
I cut them off and spat out a short word.
At the same time, my view spread clearly.
[‘Excellent Insight (F)’ is activated.]
No matter how much strength they gained, I witnessed the cadets of other departments being directly violated.
After all, there was only one thing I could do.
“The trick is written by the guys, and I don’t know what is so imposing.”
I violently forced out the facts while keeping an eye Yoo Ji-Yeon as her gaze flickered to the three bullies.
My habits were like an occupational disease.
Thanks to that, I was able to extract quite a bit of information.
What’s more, there was nothing I couldn’t see now that I activated the character.
“Why can’t I keep hearing…”
“Your lower lip is a little yellow.”
[You have captured a minor point that other people do not notice.]
[The skill of ‘excellent insight’ increases.]
“The left side of the roof of the mouth and the bottom of the tongue is dark, and the right molar has grains that are supposed to be a kind of ‘potion capsule’.”
[You have captured the details that even experts will not notice.]
[The grade of ‘excellent insight’ rises.]
[‘F’ → ‘E’]
“I see the mixture of purple and blue in the grain, but it must be a mana-burning effect. The color change of the lower lip is not drastic; she would have used it roughly three to four days ago. I think it was taken before the actual evaluation to avoid getting caught by the instructor. However, I noticed that the inside of the mouth was dark. Three months since it started? No, it’s been half a year since I saw something wrong with the roof of my mouth and tongue.”
“…!”
[You pinpointed factors that you couldn’t find even with traits and skills.]
[You analyzed all the facts without a mistake.]
[The grade of ‘excellent insight’ is greatly increased.]
[‘E’ → ‘C’]
“Because you still have side effects of coloring, I think you bought it at a cheap place. I thought you had some medications when I saw a little green light on the nose’s side and slightly unfocused eyes. Is it ‘Blue Moon’? Is it ‘Red Eye’? Ah, it’s red-eye when I see a bloodline on my wrist. Right?”
“You… What are you, what are you …”
“What? Hwayeon Academy doesn’t say anything about taking drugs before admission? Just looking at the traces now, I think you enjoyed it about 3 years ago. By the way, shouldn’t you take potion capsules? If you can’t, it will be a suspension, and depending on what the ingredients are, you may be expelled.”
[You have completed an admirable analysis.]
[The grade of ‘excellent insight’ rises.]
[‘C’ → ‘B’]
[‘Excellent Insight (B)’ will be activated.]
The notification window proved that what I said was true.
I lightly laughed at the cadet whose face was now pale as a ghost.
“What are you looking at? Want me to say more?”
“…”
“If you don’t like it, go away, or I’ll have a story to say.”
One cadet stepped back and ran away, and the other two soon followed.
‘You can’t ever do this after a long time.’
I rubbed my neck as I looked at the disappearing cadets.
I was satisfied that the rating of ‘excellent insight’ soared.
[“You have a lot of knowledge. Just saying a few words made them run away.”]
The traveler ridiculed me.
Well, this is my specialty from the old days.
“… Thanks.”
Yoo Ji-Yeon, watched all the bullies run away, then stood up and thanked me.
“By the way… Are you okay?”
“Huh?”
However, it did not end with gratitude. Suddenly she said something strange.
What does this mean?
“They are good kids. They are the ones who can’t even touch the magic department. I don’t know how you knew it, but they used the medicines and potion capsules you mentioned earlier, and like the expensive stuff …”
Ah, that was what it meant.
“Ok. It doesn’t matter.”
No need to worry.
If so, I shouldn’t have touched Hyun-Cheol Kim.
The guy to whom I gave a big fuckin failing point was a gold spoon that I couldn’t reach even if all three of them had just escaped.
“But why did you help me?”
“Huh?”
“There was no reason for you to be good. You don’t get an extra point for doing good. Besides, since it’s a different subject, those three were not competitors. I have nothing I can give you properly.”
“I was just helping. I heard you and thought it better to help than just walk on.”
Each talent is essential to be a hunter.
Except for the awakeners, who are just human waste, just like those three.
“uh… Well…”
Yoo Ji-Yeon stared at me blankly.
She said nothing and hesitated.
Looking at Yu Ji-Yeon, I continued indifferently.
“We’re all on the same side anyway. When the monsters come, we will fight next to you, and when the cracks open, we will go to stop them together. Where are the competitors, where are the points, and the other departments?”
“…”
“We are helping each other and living together.”
In response, she stood still.
I was going to say something more about it.
[The bond that ‘Yoo Ji-Yeon’ feels to the user rises rapidly.]
[‘Meeting more than a certain schedule’ was met.]
[Now, you can target ‘Yu Ji-Yeon’ and ‘Link’.]
[The ‘Witch Yu Ji-Yeon’ and the current ‘Yoo Ji-Yeon’ that exist in the user’s memory are separate entities.]
[Currently, the only link that can be linked is ‘Yoo Ji-Yeon’.]
Numerous reminders popped up before my eyes.
And…
“Okay, I get it.”
Yoo Ji-Yeon smiled pleasantly.
It looked better on her than the somber look.
It was an expression of the Yoo Ji-Yeon, I remembered.
[After reversion, for the first time, you have built a bond with other targets.]
[You have met the conditions.]
[New features of ‘Communication and Sharing’ will be opened.]
At the same time, the notification window began to reward again.
* * *
[Communication and sharing]
[* Soul fairy tale]
[* Only users who meet the ‘regression’ condition can open it.]
[* You can use communication and sharing with other entities. Of course, communication and sharing cannot be used when the price is very different.]
[* It can only be applied to opponents who have built up their bonds to the maximum, and can only be used if the object is alive in reality.]
[→ Rapidly increases the growth rate of targets where the user has once accumulated a bond to the maximum.]
[→ Animated beings are compensated for growth until they grow to their maximum potential.]
[→ As the assimilated being grows, the soul of the user also grows.]
“…”
I couldn’t say anything.
Well, it was just an absurd ability.
‘I can pick a person who will be on my side and grow fast, and I will grow as much?’
What are all these absurd traits?
‘You endlessly spread.’
Of course, my personality growth made me feel good.
‘Then, in the future, I should first try to increase the bond with Yoo Ji-Yeon to the maximum and apply the soul assimilation as quickly as possible.’
Her talents will bloom sooner, and my growth will be even faster, so it’s no surprise.
Good.
I nodded slightly and ended up taking notes.
Black letters filled up the white paper.
[“What did you write?”]
“Oh, this? It’s like a simple plan.”
[Well… Plans shouldn’t be so detailed. If anything goes wrong, the plan will break. If you don’t know the future, this is …”]
“Once you’ve put it together, well.”
It is so easy because I know the future.
I swallowed the words and listened to the traveler prattle while laughing bitterly.
“Oh, stop. I don’t have to learn anything about planning …”
[You need to learn, how good I am in theory …]
“But not as good as me.”
I would give it away if anything else, but I was proud of the theory, so I didn’t step back and argued hard.
And then.
“Jung Si-woo.”
Only
I heard someone calling me outside.
“… Ah, traveler. I get louder because you keep saying nonsense.”
[Why is it my fault? Because of your pride, you don’t keep getting …]
I turned to say something to the traveler.
“I have something to ask about the reawakening test. Is it okay to come in for a second?”
I immediately turned my head and closed my mouth.
‘… Reawakening test? ‘
That wasn’t something I’ve heard about.
