Chapter 464 – Elixir (2)
Magical power is an indispensable resource for hunters, or more precisely, for humans.
In particular, the magical power contained within the body has a profound effect on the human body just by existing.
One of them is resilience.
The magical energy remaining in the body is first used on weak, deficient, and injured areas.
Like repairing tears and cuts.
Something like producing insufficient blood.
Recovering lost stamina.
And the more often these characteristics are exercised, the higher the efficiency.
That’s why warriors are excellent at recovering stamina or wounds, and wizards are excellent at recovering consumed magic power.
The secret art of transformation begins with raising this recovery power to the limit.
Plop!
Shattering bones and rebuilding them.
Pop!
The process of tearing the muscles to pieces and recovering is repeated countless times.
People who are sickly like Baek Hyun-jin also have weak magical power.
The level of recovery is difficult to match that of an ordinary human, let alone a hunter.
However, the magic power now in her body is not her own, but comes from the elixir.
The dense concentration and unique vitality of the elixir provide tremendous recovery power.
“Uhm… !”
Thanks to you, I was surprised.
Broken and torn bones and muscles recover much faster than I expected.
Even once it is attached, the degree to which it becomes hard and tough far exceeds expectations.
Thanks to this, I had to exert more force every time I broke and tore it again.
“Whoa…”
Ironically, that makes me even more greedy.
Elixir.
Seoyeon’s body and nutrients that are several times better than when building a new body encourage this.
Because of this, the difficulty has also increased several times, but the results will be even greater.
“… “Let’s give it a try.”
Isn’t interest on the price of one’s life and personal greed sufficient as a reason for wanting to do it?
After acquiring this body, I decided to live my life as I please without worrying about what others think, but there are some things that should not change from the past.
One of them is to thoroughly seek charity.
A person who cannot properly repay his enemies is a fool, and a person who cannot properly repay a favor is an animal.
It’s okay to be called a beast in another sense, but I don’t want to be a beast in this way.
“Let’s focus, focus…”
Restart the secret technique that was stopped.
* * *
It was the beginning of a day like any other.
My eyes naturally open around seven o’clock.
It was a habit.
A real habit that has been ingrained in me after a long period of living as a fake professor.
Soothe your stiff body overnight with a stream of warm water, then sit in front of the dressing table and freshen up lightly.
Instead of the flashy style like when I was a professor, I have a simple and elegant feeling.
In that state, head straight upstairs.
“Good morning, sister.”
“Are you here? “You look pretty today too, dear.”
“What. “Your sister is prettier.”
A greeting with sincere praise.
That was actually the case.
Seo Jeong-hee, who was ten years older than me, had a younger and prettier face.
It was said that Kim Do-jin secretly took her elixir and became younger.
At first, I was just jealous, but soon I realized that it was a worthy reward.
‘He is such an amazing person.’
He has a kind heart and is kind.
They are even dedicated.
So much so that one wonders if the word wise mother and good wife was created after seeing her.
And her warm heart and dedication passed on to me.
From the moment I first lived in this house until now.
She treated me so warmly.
‘Would I have felt this way if I had a sister?’
It made me think about it.
She smiled warmly, rolled up her sleeves, and walked out.
“I’ll help too, sister.”
“Oh my, I would be grateful if you said yes.”
I help Seo Jeong-hee, who is busy working alone, and finish preparing breakfast.
And then breakfast begins.
“Hey, try this.”
“… I think I’m giving it to you because you don’t want to eat it.”
Hehe, I got caught.”
Harmonious.
Just being with them makes me feel peaceful.
So sometimes I fall into thoughts that are close to vain delusions.
If only my parents hadn’t lost their lives in vain.
If only her younger brother, Hyunjin, hadn’t suffered from congenital magical power deficiency.
‘Couldn’t we be like this too?’
She smiled without realizing it.
She is suffering from the peace she longed for.
Isn’t it funny?
Maybe I’m being punished.
Whatever the reason, wasn’t he on the side of an organization that wanted to threaten the world?
If it’s the price for that crime, maybe it should be paid for.
“I’ll be back!”
“Me too.”
“Okay, have a nice trip! Come back by dinner time!”
When a young man and woman leave, two people remain.
From this point on, her actions are divided into two.
Chatting with Seo Jeong-hee while drinking her tea, or sitting alone in her room and contemplating.
Today it was the latter.
“I’m going back to my room too, sister.”
“Okay. “You’ve had a hard time since the morning, so go to your room and rest.”
“My sister too.”
It was a very warm time talking with her, but I didn’t want to do that today.
So it was time to leave Seo Jeong-hee’s house to go back to the room.
Rattling!
When I opened the door and went out, there was her familiar face leaning on the staircase railing.
It was Kim Do-jin who had left home a little while ago to attend to work.
“… “Didn’t you leave earlier?”
“Yes, but…, The professor’s expression looked a little bad earlier.”
“Ah.”
Sometimes I am surprised by his appearance.
It seemed like he didn’t even glance at me throughout the meal, but I wonder how he could have done that.
“Are there any inconveniences?”
Baekhyun shakes her head at the next question.
“No, there is nothing like that.”
It can’t happen.
“It’s all good. “Jeonghee, Yujeong’s students, and people who live nearby.”
On the contrary, she lives with a more peaceful mind than ever.
“Maybe that’s why sometimes…, I’m sorry Hyunjin.”
“Why?”
“The child is lying dead in the hospital room, and he wonders if only I can be happy.”
“…”
A solemn atmosphere.
When a family member becomes sick, it is truly difficult for those who watch it.
In the midst of my difficult and happy daily life because of that family, I suddenly remembered it, and it tightened my heart.
While her daughter, younger brother, and wife are sick, she lowers her mouth, wondering if she can do this.
That’s how it gets broken.
Sick people do as they are sick, and those who watch do as they watch.
Kim Do-jin, who knew her feelings better than anyone else, left her strange words instead of consoling her, which were of little help.
“You know what?”
“… ?”
“There is no such thing as a miracle in this world.”
“…”
At first glance, these words seem to push her further into the abyss of despair, as she lives only because of her 0.0001% hope.
But that wasn’t the end.
“Even if something miraculous happens to you, it’s not a miracle.”
She asked with her eyes.
Then what is it?
Kim Do-jin responded by tapping her shoulder with his index finger.
“Effects from causes. That’s all.”
Exactly two days had passed since she heard those words.
-“Patient Baek Hyun-jin’s condition…”
She faced her miracle.
* * *
I understand after handling the elixir myself.
How did the small number of people who consumed this elixir live so long?
This is an elixir of extremely concentrated magical power and at the same time a treasure trove of life.
The power was imbued in the bones and muscles that had been reduced to powder and reattached several times through the secret art of transformation.
The bones are harder than steel, and the muscles are tougher than the leather of an S-class monster.
If you set your future aspiration to become an athlete, you might become the best in any sport.
Hunter?
Of course, he will also be able to covet the best.
“… That is only when it is possible.”
As you know, becoming a hunter is not just about physical ability.
Baek Hyun-jin, who suffered from congenital magical power deficiency, was an ordinary person.
I don’t know what will happen after this, but…, Usually, awakening occurs most actively in teenagers or early 20s, so the probability of becoming a hunter should be considered low.
“Let’s finish now.”
The body has been completed to the point that it is no exaggeration to say that it is the best in the world.
Adjust the position so that it can be placed in the most suitable place according to the natural appearance of the body.
Very carefully and minutely.
Even though this may not seem like a big deal, it is a very important task.
No matter how good your bones and muscles are, if they are out of position, they cannot display their strength properly.
Tduduk!
Tick!
With the sound of a pulse, even the last bone is perfectly balanced.
It’s done now.
This child has obtained the best body.
This will become your wings.
“Since we started much later than others, we should fly instead of walking or running.”
Wings that will follow closely behind those who are already far ahead.
After completing the adjustment, concentrate your senses and listen to the sound of your breath coming out of your nose.
Semen
Ssaeak
It’s smooth and unobtrusive, with no snags.
This means that the body, which until a few hours ago could not even breathe properly without an oxygen respirator, has finally begun to function properly.
It wasn’t just that.
In his skinny body, strong magical power is constantly flowing back and forth between the inside and the outside.
This is proof that the body is full of magical power.
That means that the illness that had plagued sisters Baek Hyun-ah and Baek Hyun-jin so much has disappeared.
“Good.”
I was just relieved that everything seemed to have ended well.
Drurr!
The door to the hospital room opens and the sound of urgent footsteps is heard.
“Hyunjin… !”
A familiar voice.
It seems that her nurse, who had told her in advance, contacted her at the right time.
I stand up with my tired body.
“Are you here?”
Baek Hyun-ah looks at me and opens her eyes in surprise.
“Do, why is student Dojin here… ?”
I smile and shake my head.
“That’s not what’s important right now.”
I stand next to her and continue speaking while showing Baek Hyun-jin, who was covered by my body.
“I think checking my brother’s condition comes first.”
“Ah… !”
After her long sigh, she hurriedly approaches and checks on her younger brother’s condition.
And she was shocked.
“Wow, that’s ridiculous…”
As a wizard, she would have felt it.
The magic overflowing from Baek Hyun-jin’s body as if a torrent of rain poured down on a region suffering from drought due to a long period of poor harvest.
“Wow, how on earth did this happen? How did Hyunjin… !”
Baekhyun looks up and asks with an expression as if she’s about to cry.
She smiled and answered at her.
“Did I tell you?”
The words she gave her a few days ago
“Effect according to cause.”
The life debt you forced upon me.
It was replaced by her brother’s treatment.
