Chapter 61 – 12. Cast Away? (2)
After all, it’s strong, that’s all I could think of.
The ability Pirahyun used now is probably ‘absorption’.
In addition to being able to exert physical force on a wide range of materials, the storage capacity seems to be considerable considering that it has absorbed all the fog around here.
The palm that had absorbed the fog turned downward and sent a transparent stream of water to the ground.
Maybe that’s ‘release’.
No matter how you looked at it, it was hard to believe that a first-year student could control his abilities so freely.
If we judge based on the description of the original work, wouldn’t it be enough to pass even if we apply for the Demon Tribe Extermination Unit right away?
However, why did she go into hiding at the end of her first year?
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t come up with a good reason.
‘The day will come when I will have to say goodbye to that ability.’
The words she gave to Goryūshin fit exactly in the final battle.
Could it have been a device suggesting that the pyra strings have other abilities other than simply absorbing and releasing?
Now is the time to prioritize survival over complicated thinking.
It is not too late to solve her curiosity about her Pira string later in the process of attacking her.
“I think it’s right to decide on a leader first, but is there anyone who wants to do it? If everyone doesn’t have an idea, I’ll do it.”
Perhaps because he is the main character of the novel, Goryushin radiated a sense of presence from the beginning.
It would be quite a burden if the leader of a group of only three people thought that he was fully responsible for decision-making, but he did not seem to care about that at all.
Well, I didn’t care too much because I could quietly watch an exorcism and eat rice cakes.
“I agree.”
“Um… Me too.”
Considering his personality, Pira-hyeon wouldn’t be very interested in taking responsibility, and of course I didn’t want to be the leader, so in the end, Ryu Shin was naturally chosen as the leader.
When we accepted it without hesitation, they seemed quite happy as if they thought it was fortunate that it worked out well.
“Then let’s check the luggage we brought first. The ground here is too wet, so we’ll go over there to the big rock and spread it out.”
At Ryu Xinyi’s words, I packed my bag and started to move toward the rock.
Even though it’s early in the morning, perhaps because the surroundings are surrounded by the sea, the moist and hot air touches your skin, making you frown.
I can’t help it, I have to wait 3 days.
Come to think of it, I wouldn’t be able to have sex for three days, but I was a little worried about whether I would be able to stand the increased libido due to my achievements.
“I want to see Ha-yul… Ah.”
I spit out my own words without thinking, but I’m nervous for nothing because I wonder if Ryushin heard it.
Before the stigmata awakened, I still did my best to win once, but now I can never win, so it’s not good to act hateful to Ryu Xin-yi.
“It’s flatter than I thought, and it’s okay? If you step on the rocks and go up this way, you can see a little bit.”
“Phew… Ok. I’ll be there soon too.”
Fortunately, as if he didn’t hear me, he just climbed the big rock and looked around.
If I’m with Ryushin in the future, I think I’ll have to be alert.
As I stepped on the slightly sloping rock, I could see the low terrain around me at a glance, just as Ryu Xinyi said.
As if the island wasn’t small, there were thick forests in front and behind, so it was hard to see, but the fact that they preoccupied the highest elevation in the area was equivalent to being able to deal with monster attacks smoothly.
“Then, shall we unpack our luggage here? I brought food, simple tools, and a sleeping bag just in case. Jihoo, how about you?”
“I’m similar, too. I brought a few things because I thought I’d need a tent, emergency food like beef jerky, and a lantern.”
“I’m all in this, but I’m sure everything you guys think is there.”
Pirahyun raised her palm and told us.
Come to think of it, if there is enough space in the storage space, it can absorb all of the baggage with its absorption ability and later release it one by one whenever needed.
I’m trying to hate the writer who didn’t give me a common subspace or inventory to the subject sent to the novel.
“Why. Do you want to see what’s inside…?”
She seemed to notice my staring gaze, and she fluttered her palms and smiled lightly.
Uh… I was just staring at you out of envy, but since you said that, I’m curious.
“Something like this…”
A light rose from Pirahyun’s hand, and a large block of ice appeared in front of her eyes.
“There are also these.”
I don’t know how I absorbed it, but this time, flames started to rise from my palms.
That sounds like a real scam.
If you set your mind to it, you can take out whatever you want and use it freely.
Just as I was admiring Pirahyun’s ability, Ryu Shin-yi, who had been looking into the distance, suddenly called us.
Instead of speaking, he stretched out his finger and pointed to a spot in the woods.
Although his eyesight is extremely poor compared to Goryushin’s, he still sees something moving blurry when he concentrates.
I couldn’t see the detailed shape because it was hidden by the thick trees, but it seemed to be human.
“Is it… A different group?”
The survival rules said that there could be several other groups besides us on an island, so it seemed likely that humans were probably from another group.
Of course, even though the probability is extremely low, there is a possibility that the person who accidentally drifted on the sea and settled on this uninhabited island.
“I think it’s like that. My hair color seems to be purple… Does anyone remember me?”
“Well, I don’t know.”
Naturally, Pira Hyun shook his head and leaned against the side of the rock as if he was not interested.
I… Was there anyone with purple hair around? Oh, there is one.
Since the purple itself means an irregular person who deviate from the orthodox classification system, there was a high possibility that he was the person I knew.
“Isn’t it Jeong Ye-won? He’s the only one I know.”
“Right, I saw it once during the entrance ceremony and haven’t seen it since then.
If it’s really Yewon, it’s not quite bad for me.
Since she had already planted the ‘seed’ necessary for her attack, there was a high possibility that the elite Ye-won would react violently in various ways as soon as she saw me.
I just wanted to do something naughty, but like this, a fruit rolls in on its own.
He thought that if he could summon Jeong Ye-won and coax him out within a day, he would pay for his goddaughter, if not sex.
“Rahyeon stays here and waits, how about she go with Jihoo and me?”
“Um, okay.”
Pira Hyun guards her luggage in case of an unexpected monster attack, and we go into the forest to try contacting other groups.
It was a good idea that made me nod my head.
Carefully descending the rock, we headed toward the forest where we saw what we believed to be the Elite One.
It’s already humid air, but when you enter the forest, it feels even more damp because of the moisture emitted by the trees.
“I was sure I was walking this way earlier… Oh, I found it.”
After the stigma awakening, Ryu Xin-yi was able to find the elite member relatively easily using his hearing, which had been further developed.
Rather than approaching her first, she chose to hide behind her thick tree and watch what she did.
“Whoa… Seriously, I’m having a hard time meeting a bad-tempered kid. Looking for Ongdalsaem in the forest…? Nonsense.”
Jeong Ye-won was annoyed and was receiving tree sap in a water bottle.
The tone of voice is a bit different from the last class, but the same atmosphere and the same voice, definitely Jeong Ye-won.
‘When shall we leave?’
‘You’re a little familiar, so let’s go out first.’
‘Okay, then follow me.’
Ryushin and I exchanged mouth-to-mouth conversations, then nodded to each other.
However, it seems that the ending of her first meeting with her was not so neat, but since Ryushin is also there, it will be okay.
I came out from behind the tree and started walking towards Jeong Ye-won, who was in the middle of receiving the sap.
