Chapter 524 – Side Story 27) Growing Young Hero (1)
Side Story 27) Growing Young Hero (1)
“I never thought I’d open this up again…”
Seeing the worm farm made me feel bitter.
Shortly after I returned to this world, I ran a bug farm made up of diabolical villains.
Heinous villains who can casually harm others for their own desires. These babies were bugs, like mosquitoes and cockroaches that were of no use to the world.
However, the insect farm was closed shortly after.
If you are curious about why Bug Farm was closed, please refer to [Part 310 Burning Bug Farm] And [Part 311 Why do good deeds keep stacking up? (5)]. Please re-read and increase my view count!
“…What bullshit am I talking about? What is episode 310 and what are the views?”
I tilted my head and scratched my head.
Anyway, in the process of getting rid of the bug farm, I vowed not to run the bug farm again after bursting with the worst nuisance bottle ever. Running a bug farm isn’t easy.
I had to give the little bugs pain, feed them so they wouldn’t die, and clean up so they wouldn’t get sick… It was a chore.
So I decided not to run the insect farm again, but this time I had no choice but to do it again.
It was annoying to chase after the villains when they disappeared. If that’s the case, I’ll have to keep them from hiding… No matter how much I think about it, it’s better to lock them up in one place and pick them up one by one when training the kids.
Then, naturally, the bug farm came to mind.
“I just have to run it until all these bastards are used up anyway. It’s a bit annoying, but what can I do? My daughter needs to be strong.”
These guys will be a good foundation for the growth of young heroes.
Oh, by the way, the villains who became young heroes’ fertilizers will be sent to the Hero Association. I already sent the B-level villain Hogman and Mad Dog, who had already served as fertilizer, to the Ice Queen. Those bastards will be judged by the law and imprisoned in the villain camp.
“Then shall we resume training?”
Shrugging my shoulders, I approached the children. After restoring the children’s physical strength with a healing skill, I had them deal with the villains in turn.
The young hero’s record on this day was 2 wins and 3 losses in 5 matches, and the winning rate was not bad for a kid.
*****
After the training, I conducted individual interviews with the children.
“Hello father!”
“… Welcome.”
The first target of consultation was not the young hero’s meat shield… But the tanker, Sevi. Hearing Sevi’s spirited voice, I hesitated and sat him down on the chair across from me.
“Sevi, you… Had the supernatural power of a body enhancer.”
“Yes, Father!”
“Damn… Whoa… Sevilla. Do you like shotguns?”
“Yes?”
“Or do you have any hobbies that go well with shotguns?”
“Uh… Uh, does anyone have a hobby like that?”
“Then why don’t you take up a hobby like that right now? I think it’ll suit you perfectly.”
“…”
Strangely, just looking at him makes me want a shotgun, right? I want to shoot
Haha! Jokes jokes! I thought you were too nervous, so I made a joke! Ahahahahaha!”
Haha. I see? Haha!”
“Smile?”
“Yes?”
“Am I funny?”
“Oh no!”
“Ahahahaha! Why are you so scared! It’s a joke! Joking! Dam!”
Haha…”
Sevi laughed with a shy face. Seeing Sevi like that, I thought to myself.
‘Heh heh. I’m going to put ‘shotgun shots’ into this pup training curriculum later.’
Thinking of a way to legally (?) Shoot Sevi with a shotgun, I laughed inwardly. After all, I am the best brain in the universe.
“Let’s see…”
I confirmed Sevi’s psychic powers through the psychic power analyzer.
[Name: Sevi Brigitt (Male/17 years old)]
[Psychic Power: Body Enhancer (Lv.3)]
[Psychic Tree]
Lv.1 [Elastic Muscle]
Lv.2 [Muscle Strength Specialization]
Lv.3 [Powerful Blow (Active)]
“Oh fuck.”
“Yes?”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t curse, it was because my soles are itchy.
“Ah yes…”
As soon as I checked Sevi’s psychic tree, curses came out without my knowledge. This is because the characteristics and skill settings of the young hero’s tanker belonged to the dealer, not the tanker.
[Elastic Muscle], A level 1 attribute, increases muscle flexibility and prevents muscle tearing. Also, as his flexibility has increased, he can exert 10-20% more power than he originally could.
[Strength Specialization], A level 2 attribute, focuses on growth potential, and the last level 3 skill, [Intense Strike], Is a skill that consumes stamina to deliver a more powerful blow to the enemy.
Of course, since he has the superpower of a body enhancer, he can play a tanker in Young Hero, but he is more specialized in his dealing ability than his tanking ability.
‘What to do with this bastard?’
Having a tank that can deal damage isn’t a bad thing. Because this world is not a game.
The only reason why curse words came out of my mouth was because I was unclear about the direction Sevi would develop in the future.
I heard that he is in charge of the tank in Young Hero, so I naturally thought that his traits and skills would be focused on defense.
My first psychic was a body enhancer like Sevi, and also only took special traits for defense. So, I planned to induce Sevi’s growth according to the characteristics I had taken.
“Ha…”
“?”
I sighed and washed my face dry. You bastard, I didn’t even use the [Generate HP] Attribute…
As already mentioned many times, even psychics die when they are shot. However, if you look at the death rate of psychics by firearms, the rate of body strengtheners is the lowest.
The reason for this was because of the [HP Generation] Feature, which had the same effect as a shield.
Until HP (Health Point) runs out, no matter how many bullets you get, you won’t die or get hurt. In the dark city where you don’t know when and how to search, HP is essential for the survival of body enhancers.
But this important thing Sevi didn’t film. Is it Berserker style?
‘Ah, maybe?’
“Sevilla.”
“Your father.”
“Shotguns… Oh, not this one. Were you at this level before you became a young hero?”
“Huh? How did you know that?”
“As expected.”
I wondered, but it was the same.
It was about a year and a half ago that Rachel and her friends created Young Hero. If it was a year and a half ago, when she didn’t have any thoughts of protecting someone, Sevi’s characteristics and skills would have been determined by imagining herself defeating the enemy in style.
The psychic people in this world cannot choose their own characteristics or skills even if their psychic level goes up. However, if you desperately want a certain ability to happen, you can influence trait and skill decisions.
Before becoming a young hero, he became a level 3 psychic, so the current characteristics and skill settings were, in a way, natural.
‘Maybe this is more serious than I thought?’
Thanks to that, I realized that today’s young heroes have a very big problem.
Superpowers grow quickly when they are at a low level. Not all dogs or cows reach level 10, but in the low-level section, everyone has no choice but to grow quickly.
Sevi was a level 3 psychic 1 year and 6 months ago and became a young hero. She received a quality education at the Hero Academy and gained quite a bit of experience working as a young hero.
Even so, Sevi was still a level 3 body enhancer.
Why? Because Sevi is a psychic with no talent?
No. From what I’ve seen, all young hero children have great potential. When that potential is in full bloom, it will be at least a level 8 psychic.
A child with such outstanding potential has accumulated practical experience for over a year, but has not grown at all.
Why?
‘Rachel.’
My daughter was the problem.
*****
Linguistic magician.
It is an unprecedented psychic power that can be called the power of God that puts mysterious power into the words that come out of the mouth and makes those words come true.
Rachel can strengthen her friends with the power of this very necromancer.
It appears that she can enhance her level 3 body enhancer, Sevi, to level 6 during her battle with the villain, to the same level as Rachel’s psychic powers.
I watched Rachel reinforce her friends and her curiosity was piqued.
‘For what price can I use the power of the spirit?’
If you show power, there will be a price to pay accordingly. The cost could be supernatural power itself or drawing on the power of nature. Perhaps it could be the unique vitality of a human being.
To turn words into reality, it probably doesn’t usually require a price, I was curious about that.
And through the conversation with Sevi, he could vaguely know what the cost of the spirit of speech was.
‘Rachel and the enhancer’s potential.’
I haven’t analyzed Rachel’s psychic powers closely yet, but I’m more than 90% sure. If it’s a way to consume potential, that level of enhancement is understandable.
‘What is Rachel consuming in return?’
The brow furrowed. It would be better if it was consuming Rachel’s potential. It doesn’t matter what level Rachel’s psychic power is. ‘Cause I can protect you
But if it’s using life force…
‘I can fill the consumed vitality. But…’
If necessary, I can fill Rachel with my life force. Because I was born with the universe and I am the source of the species that sowed life into a world where there was nothing.
But the problem is that Rachel’s temperament can change.
Chaos has both good and evil qualities.
If the current Rachel is pure goodness, the Rachel who shared my chaos could be neutral or evil.
Whatever you do, whatever you do, Rachel is my daughter. This is an unchanging fact and truth.
But can Rachel admit to hurting people without hesitation?
‘I need to analyze it more properly and closely.’
It’s my daughter’s problem. If it were to happen, Rachel’s psychic powers would be completely removed.
*****
“Rachel, can I talk to Dad for a minute?”
“Huh? Yes.”
After the family meal time, I called Rachel.
“Uh, uh…”
“Sister! Noona! Noona, let’s play with me!”
“That, yes…”
Kai took Laura’s hand, who was left alone and panicked, and went out to her living room. The two soon started playing with toy blocks. We were told to think of us as family, but it seemed like our family was still unfamiliar to us. Well, it’s not that I don’t understand Laura’s timid personality.
‘Psychic Analyst.’
Putting Rachel on the bed, I used the psychic analyzer.
[Name: Rachel Stell (female/14 years old)]
[Psychic Power: Spirit Master (Lv.6)]
[Psychic Tree]
Lv.1 [Speech Spirit]
Lv.2 [As you say]
Lv.3 [2 words]
Lv.4 [3 words]
Lv.5 [4 words]
Lv.6 [Cost Reduction]
A psychic tree with only characteristics without a single skill. Just talking can cause miracles, so there was no reason to have skills.
The [Speaking Spirit] Attribute is the basic attribute of a speaking spirit master who puts power into words, and the 2nd level attribute [As you speak] Has the effect of strengthening the speaking spirit.
The [Number Words] Attribute from level 3 to 5 has the effect of increasing the length of a powerful sentence. In other words, Rachel can use sentences with up to four words as her language.
