Chapter 21 – EX 2. Awakening
After Yu Seol-ah left, I also decided to go home.
Right now, because I drank the potion, my body feels good, but the potion is a concept that accelerates the recovery rate by rapidly increasing the regenerative power of cells.
If my attack went in properly, Ryu Xin would probably be lying in the infirmary by now, but honestly, it seemed rude to go find him after detonating himself by pouring all his energy into it without controlling his strength.
I just have to look at your face tomorrow morning and say I’m sorry.
The sun was setting and it was getting dark outside, so I hurriedly stopped at the classroom to grab my bag and went out the front door.
Seeing the streetlights light up one by one and gently illuminate the street, I involuntarily came up with a sentimental thought.
It’s only been a week now, and even today, I barely got past the point of almost dying.
Even if Seol-Ah Yoo can respond with hypnosis, if there is a crisis that I cannot respond to… Will I be able to live even then?
Until just a while ago, I was determined to conquer Yoo Seol-ah and confidently change, but seeing that I think of this too late, it seems that people do not change easily.
I trudged along in a depressed mood, and pulled out my phone to check the app for updates.
“Why don’t I get notifications for quests…”
It’s been quite a while since her profile was unlocked, but she still hasn’t received a notification like a capture quest.
Unfortunately, the moment she turned on the ability development app to check even the essence points accumulated through sex, a blurry noise suddenly occurred on the screen.
[Quest Doj]
– Support positions.
[Quest Completed]
Fall of Turandot
– You succeeded in having sex with her by embracing her wounds and melting her heart of her frozen Yu Seol-ah. Actually, I don’t know if she really changed.
Reward payment: Essence point 5, skill level +1 coupon
A strange thing happened that the quest was cleared as soon as it occurred.
I wasn’t too surprised because there were cases where the reward details were modified in real time during the last time, but I wondered why the quest didn’t occur at a normal time.
There were a few suspicious circumstances.
If you think about it as rationally as possible, it is most likely that her hypnosis application did not recognize her as her heroine because ‘someone’ who requested her to her Yu Seol-ah hypnotized her in advance.
Since most of them are still in the middle of the day, there is no certain factor, so if something similar happens in the future, then I decided to check the commonalities of the two cases.
Well, no matter what, I just wanted the reward to come in.
Let’s check the point history to raise the skill level. In addition to 1 point from constant sex with Ha Yul the other day, and 1 point from playing sloppily with Yu Seol-ah this time, plus the quest reward, there was a total of 7 points.
“Ah, we’ve arrived.”
I was walking while looking at my phone, and when I suddenly looked up, I was already in front of my house.
After coming home and washing up, I grabbed my phone again and started thinking about where to spend my reward.
First of all, the skill level-up coupon seems to be an effect that unconditionally raises the skill by one level without restrictions. , Or at least after reaching level 8, it was considered beneficial to use coupons.
“Then keep this. Next is the integer point…”
After contemplating whether to raise the level evenly or quickly, I decided to raise the application limit to level 5.
Of course, there was no way that Principal Sanya would be hypnotized at Friday’s consultation by raising the threshold.
As a ruler of sound waves, she can control all the waves that occur in that space if she limits it to the size of her office, and of course, hypnosis using an app is also a concept that artificially generates waves, so if you rush to hypnosis, it is probably a hypnotic wave. Before I can reach her, I will be torn to 120 pieces.
Nevertheless, the reason why I decided to raise the skill to level 5 was because, as a result of looking at the ability development app, there was a passive skill that was given every time I reached a certain level.
When I pressed the button and used all the points, the skill level changed from 3 to 5, and the small icon with the lock next to the existing skill icon began to glow slightly.
– The effect of the ‘Probability Correction’ passive is always applied from now on.
Along with a brief notification message, a red arrow flashed as if to press the skill icon.
When I touched the small drawn icon, an additional explanation came to mind: [Special passive skills allow you to create the effect you want within the permitted range.]
I didn’t expect this until now.
Right now, the system of the hypnosis application asked me to set the contents of [Common sense change] Hypnosis that would affect the entire world.
After thinking for a long time about what would be the most necessary effect for me and also suitable for the theme of ‘probability correction’, I finally came up with a good option.
[Even when I fire a wave containing only physical force, people think I’m releasing a wave with a mild delirium effect.]
Sanya would of course know that I have her mental wave ability, but if I get to consult with her, I can no longer hide the fact that my ability has changed.
In fact, there may be some professors who are suspicious of the skills I showed in Dalian or the fact that I didn’t show any mental abilities in previous practice sessions, but if the probability correction effect is applied, you can use the wave freely without any further doubt.
Receiving less suspicion means that you can focus only on your actions without worrying about other people’s eyes, so there is probably no phrase as versatile as this one.
What’s more, ‘thinking’ that there is a delirium effect can lead to an actual delirium effect for people with weak willpower thanks to the nocebo effect.
Of course, it was still unknown whether the passive ability would fully work on Sanya, one of the strongest in the world, but…
I was able to lie in bed with satisfaction when I saw my ability to grow little by little today.
My back hurt a little from moving my body too much, but I’m glad I didn’t die yet.
I slowly surrendered myself to the rushing tide.
* * *
Goryūshin suddenly opened his eyes.
The smell of alcohol that mingled with every breath on the white ceiling told us that this was a good room.
“…Ah, then…”
At the moment when he thought he had won, he remembered Jihoo Lee grabbing his arm and pulling him to commit suicide.
Professors hurriedly run to the sudden surge of energy, and students murmur, wondering if something big has happened…
Above all, the image of Ha-yul walking far away to take the fallen Lee Ji-hoo to the infirmary was still vivid in his mind.
He was limping but managed to leave the arena with his mind still.
The injury must be severe, but I refused to say it was okay at the professor’s words to receive treatment and go, but in the end I went to a temporary infirmary near the stadium because my legs were weak…
As soon as I lay down on the bed, I fell asleep as if I had lost consciousness due to the rushing blood, and when I woke up, the sunset was setting outside the window.
“Haa… It’s hard…”
His strength had returned, as if he had given the right amount of potion, but he felt that something worse than physical fatigue weighed on him.
The late Liu Xin, who was about to get up with his head raised, fell on the bed again with his head buried in his pillow.
Goryushin was lying on the bed, thinking endlessly.
The work of the past week, and the change of heart that resulted from it.
The tangle of emotions that had been endlessly entangled to the point that he didn’t even know what he was feeling began to unravel slowly.
Jihoo Lee.
At first, I thought that he was just a nice guy, but at some point I felt like he was following me terribly.
It felt like the pieces of a life that had been well put together were spilled out in an instant.
He hurriedly picked it up and tried to put it in, but he couldn’t even hold it as if it had already melted.
A feeling of resentment spreading in his chest made his whole body tremble.
However, Goryushin thought again.
If I just give up here, I can’t even look at my goal.
Remember the reason why I became an Awakened, the reason I entered the academy.
[Yes, I don’t blame myself. Even if there are endless bumps to reach the goal, I will overcome it in the end.]
The firm will to win over just one person, even the inferiority complex, begins to burn him as food.
A tattoo that was inscribed long before I became an Awakener,
I finally responded to his earnestness.
The tattoo on his back begins to quietly radiate heat.
A dazzling light rises from the black tattoo engraved with a date along the spine,
As if wings were sprouting, strokes penetrating the middle of the tattoo were slowly forming on both sides.
Eventually, as the light faded, a jet-black cross appeared.
He felt behind his back a huge force that slowly convected in sync with the sound of his heart.
Finally, the stigmata awoke.
