Chapter 242 – Re:I Thought It Was a Journey to Another World Starting From Zero, but I Hid My Powers by Myself (2)
What Lee Yeon-ah said was simple.
For about 10 years, the chosen warriors undergo all kinds of training to defeat the demon king, and go through hardships to kill the demon king.
But in fact, the demon king is fake.
The real snake of jealousy had grown to the point where it could destroy the world by itself, and in the end, it was said that he struggled with the snake of jealousy for more than 10 years. In the process, most of the warriors who fought together were lost.
-And then the betrayal began.
-Betrayal?
Ridiculously, after arranging the Demon King, it is said that those with vested interests were preparing to assassinate the warriors.
They held non-combatants hostage and forced the death of warriors.
The only warriors who survived the process were Lee Yeon-ah and me.
And the flesh and blood left behind by her older sister – Yoon Seung-ha and Yoon Chae-rin.
-There was something strange about Siwoo Lee at that time. It was a grotesque expression, mixed with joy and despair. And then you said you finally had the means to end this loop.
-… So?
It takes a lot of time to attack the tower. Whether it’s thanks to that or not, the level of improvement in his abilities is extremely high.
‘But I have no intention of doing that.’
I’m looking at 1 year at most.
Fortunately, there is time to spare. I heard that a year here is a little over a month in real time.
What I’m aiming for is the by-product of the tower.
An artifact imbued with spirituality that was once used by heroes that can be obtained by attacking the tower. And the right to use the tower.
Of these, I want the right to use the tower. We plan to use this place as a training ground with an emphasis on growth.
“Wow Catta. That’s why you called me here.”
Ayane said in broken Korean. I nodded. Ayane’s severance.
If this grows endlessly, in the future it becomes a terrifying season that even cuts off concepts and phenomena.
“And am I the eye that sees talent and products in that unknown world?”
Xiaomei looked at me with a coquettish eye smile.
“But that child… ?”
Xiao Mei looked at the water purifier with her puzzled eyes.
She said, “She is a chaste maiden who is the queen of dream horses and a rival to the fairy queen. Her original daughter’s name is Seolhwa. Her last name is Lee Si-woo, so call her Lee Seol-hwa.”
Ayane and Xiaomei stiffened at the water purifier’s words.
“… Is it real?”
Looking at me slowly, I nodded as if it were true.
“It’s okay though. I can’t tell you exactly, but he can’t do us any harm. Right?”
“… Yes.”
Water Purifier nodded her head with a pouty expression.
And we went inside the tower.
[Welcome to the Tower.]
A voice that sounded divine was heard.
Tower manager. A being called a goddess in the world inside the tower.
[In the Tower, you are chosen as the chosen champions. Here, the moment you defeat the demon lord, the tower will be considered finished climbing.]
“Yeah.”
[Confirmed the willingness to climb to the climbers. It is restricted according to the ability of climbers]
“Restrictions?”
[Limits abilities and characteristics.]
It’s time for a balance patch. Even if a strong being comes to this tower, it cannot grow unconditionally.
The reason is that this tower places all sorts of restrictions that are unreasonable for the strong.
However, I do not know to what extent this tower puts restrictions on me.
You know I should have done it.
[Determining characteristics… Attributes that can be restricted to the target cannot be used with Overlord, Strain (A+), Master of the Holy Sword (A), and Apprentice Priest (B+). Eyes looking down at the sky (S), incomprehensible senses (S) can choose one of them]
“…”
I frowned at the list of restricted properties.
Due to the nature of this tower, where the growth value increases as the restricted attribute increases, it would not be difficult to acquire the attribute if the attribute was not restricted to this extent.
“Uh, why is the family’s secret technique, the Shinto Nonyen-ryu…”
“… Wait, it’s too much to ask you to choose between my sangjae’s traits and self-defense! I am a merchant!”
“Ah! Oh, how could this be! Of all my qualities, to choose just one! I’m already in a state of being restricted!”
I guess it’s just me.
They say you can only take one attribute with just a water purifier.
By the way, are you saying to choose between the eyes and the senses?
‘Of course it’s snow.’
The senses can be replaced to some extent with natural water. But the eyes don’t.
I need eyes looking up at the sky that can see through most phenomena and directly see the flow of mana.
“I will choose the one that looks down at the sky.”
[Has confirmed. The constraints chosen by the climber are applied the moment you climb the tower.]
“… Sonna Vakana. I will choose the attitude of the prosecutor.”
“… I’ll pick the sangjae I don’t have any self-defense skills, so please take good care of me.”
“…”
Water Purifier stared blankly at the ceiling with dead eyes before speaking again.
“I’m really under all kinds of restrictions, are you going to limit yourself further here?”
Well, it’s unavoidable.
The goal of climbing the tower is to kill the demon lord, but the water purifier has the qualities to become the demon lord.
“Okay. Bo, the original woman will choose her noble lineage.”
The water purifier said as her tears welled up.
[Confirmed that all climbers are prepared for the climb]
[After 1 minute, enter another world]
And right after that, a very warm voice penetrated my ears.
[May your future be blessed]

After a pure white light arose in front of my eyes, the feeling of my body being transferred somewhere.
But more than that, a feeling of extreme exhaustion overtook him.
It was because the strength and infinite life force that could only be found in the hills behind the neighborhood, the speed and sense that could easily break through the speed of sound, and the mana that reminded one of the sea were gone.
… Status window.

… Actual cost.
I looked at my status window with shaky eyes. Is this right? Is it really
However, the status window did not change and allowed me to face my situation.
I sighed inwardly and looked around.
It was in the middle of a forest. A space where the sun was high and all kinds of trees were thick.
Flash!
A group of lights flooded from all sides.
And the beings that reveal themselves.
They were students in school uniforms.
“Hey, what is this place?”
“Is Hero Academy looking at practical skills like this?”
I turned my head at the word Hero Academy.
Contrary to her somewhat hopeless expression, she had an innocent expression and saw Lee Yeon-ah, who looked younger than her. And she also has one female who looks like her and three who appear to be her male students.
And about 20 students nearby. They are probably students from the era without mana brought from Japan and China.
“Status differenceaaaaa!”
A student shouting with a desperate expression stood out somewhere.
“Ji, there really is a status window. If this…”
I was wary of a woman who seemed quietly sullen. A guy like that is good at thinking.
[The current situation is a tutorial. Catch the goblins and measure their combat strength]
“A goblin? Ha, you’re going to measure this body’s combat power with a low-level monster?”
I saw a student who snorted and spoke in an arrogant tone. Hero Academy’s uniform.
But it was a familiar look. It was as if I had taken a strong man with me, and I wondered if it would be like that if my skin was a bit darker.
However, other students did not. What is a goblin? I could see the eyes or the twinkling eyes. Or afraid.
“Nam Hoon. Stay still. Something is wrong.”
A boy with a somewhat sharp impression stopped a male student named Namhun.
“Isn’t this the Hero Academy practical test?”
“There’s no way Hero Academy will use such a large-scale transfer to test. It is too resource intensive.”
Match!
Someone clapped their hands loudly. Then attention turned to it.
“Shall we start with the name of the voice? I don’t know where this is, but it doesn’t sound like a good place. Reveal my name My name is…”
When the sharp-looking boy introduced himself, the boy next to him, who looked suspiciously strong, said.
“My name is Han Nam-hoon. Second place in Hero Academy. I’m counting on you.”
“Hero Academy? Where is it?”
“How could the name of the school be Hero Academy, Poop.”
It was not a positive response.
However, the students of Hero Academy were perplexed. He looked at the students with eyes that said, “What the hell are they?
Before Han Nam-hoon said anything. A group of goblins began to appear in the distance.
“Keeeee!”
An unpleasant sound was heard. When I turned my gaze, there was a group of goblins.
Goblin warriors in armor and goblins with wooden clubs.
I took two iron swords from the Fairy King’s tent.
“What, what! Where did the weapon come from?”
Said the sullen-looking woman. I ignored it and passed the iron sword to Ayane.
“How is it, can I do it?”
“Mochi Long Death.”
Ayane raised her sword and swung it at the first goblin that came running.
Squeak.
With a single sword, the goblin’s head rose into the sky.
