Chapter 525 – Side Story 28) Growing Young Hero (2)
Side Story 28) Growing Young Hero (2)
‘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.
Lastly, the [Cost Reduction] Attribute has the effect of halving the potential consumed by Rachel in exchange for using her spirit.
Perhaps Rachel felt instinctively that each time she used her psychic powers, she was consuming her future growth potential. So, she must have the characteristics she needs right now.
Even after that, I checked the information about the linguist with the power of chaos.
‘… Uh?’
And was astonished.
‘Rachel’s potential…’
[Potential: Lv.6/Lv.12]
When I saw the potential that Rachel had, I couldn’t hide her amazement. By steadily developing her superpowers, Rachel could increase her superpower level up to level 12.
12th level psychic.
Excluding me, among the psychics currently in the Dark City, the highest level was Ignis, the Flame Witch.
The Flame Witch had the 11th level [Fire Great Witch] Psychic power.
However, Rachel had the potential to become a psychic of a level one level higher than that of a flame position.
‘… No. Maybe I can become a level 13 psychic.’
Until now, Rachel had used her psychic powers several times. No, how many times? Considering that she has been active as a young hero for over a year, she has used her psychic powers dozens more times.
Her potential is low now due to her cost-cutting properties, but before then she had to use her full potential. That means that the potential may have been cut by one level.
Of course, it was not a waste to lose any potential.
All I want from Rachel is that my lovely daughter live a happy life until she dies. Even if Rachel didn’t have her psychic powers, I intend to protect Rachel’s happiness.
‘Still, having superpowers is much safer…’
After her analysis, I looked at Rachel. My serious face made Rachel nervous as well.
Rachel opened her mouth cautiously as I made eye contact.
“Dad, is something wrong with me?”
“Hmm… There’s a problem.”
“Ugh! No way… I’m dying?”
“What?”
“…”
The lovely girl, who wouldn’t hurt to put it in her eyes, uttered absurd words about what the hell she was imagining. Not only that, but her lips were pouting and she looked like she was going to burst into tears any moment.
It was only natural that his father’s happy smile was built on his appearance. Why? Because it’s so cute!
“Why is my daughter dying? Even if you have a fatal disease, her father will treat it. What are you worried about?”
“Ah, right? Hehe. Then what is it?”
Relieved by my words, Rachel immediately burst into laughter. Rachel was so cute that I stroked her cheek. Her breasts hadn’t fallen out yet, and her plump cheeks were as soft as rice cakes.
“Rachel. Do you know what you’re using your psychic powers for?”
“Uh… I don’t know exactly. It just seems like something is using some power inside me…”
“You’re using the psychic powers of a necromancer by consuming the power you’ll have in the future.”
“The power I will have in the future?”
“Yes. After checking with Dad, our daughter has the potential to become stronger than Aunt Ignis.”
“… Stronger than Aunt Ignis? Me?”
“Huh.”
“Wow!”
Rachel’s eyes widened like rabbits.
The S-class hero White Knight, who was once praised as the strongest hero in Dark City, no longer exists in this world after having his body stolen by the Shadow Killer.
When he was alive, all the citizens said in unison that the White Knight was the undisputed strongest hero in the Dark City.
However, now that the White Knight has disappeared, the position of the strongest hero has become vacant. There was no way that people who liked rankings would leave vacant seats unattended.
Unlike the White Night, however, opinions were not easily narrowed down. Here are the heroes that people put as candidates for the best hero.
The first candidate is the S-class hero [Ice Queen], The mascot of the Hero Association.
Having risen to the level of an S-class hero three years ago, she has made a contribution by constantly arresting villains. No matter who her opponent is, she lightly subdues her opponent with cold ice, sometimes creating a thrilling sight that freezes her entire building.
In particular, the one-on-one battle with the supernova S-class villain [Gigas], Which appeared after I disappeared, was so popular that many people are still looking for a video a year later.
The guy named Gigas managed to escape with severe frostbite all over his body. Gigas would have been arrested on the spot if his men hadn’t desperately grabbed the Ice Queen’s ankle.
Next, the second candidate was [Aquagirl], An S-class hero like Ice Queen.
She broke all of her previous records and became an S-class hero in the shortest period of time, and she had overwhelming skills in arresting villains.
Many citizens witnessed her arresting 100 villains at the same time with her long-term waterdrop skill. None of the 100 villains could escape the water droplets created simultaneously.
Her activities did not stop there.
There was a time when a tsunami higher than the mountain hit Area 130, but Aqua Girl controlled the tsunami and saved Area 130, which should have been swept away, safely. Because of that incident, Aquagirl’s popularity once surpassed Ice Queen’s.
The third and final candidate was Flame Witch, who has now quit Hero and is active as a member of the [Ladies League].
As a level 11 psychic, she was the strongest in name and reality, but no one knew that except for herself and me.
There were still many citizens who remembered her flame position as her hero, and the Hero Association also constantly contacted her to return as her hero.
However, he was less active than the previous two heroes, and due to the nature of fire, there were many scenes that were difficult to see, so he was supported by the fewest citizens.
‘Come to think of it, these are all my women.’
All three of the current strongest hero candidates were my women. I felt proud because I felt like I was being praised for nothing. I’m going to call the three of them later and give them a cheesy interview to find out who the sexiest sex hero is.
“Aunt Ignis is very strong, but can I really become stronger than Auntie?”
Anyway, back to the main topic, Rachel couldn’t believe that she could be stronger than Flame Witch herself, even though she was my words. Rachel knew very well that she had a strong flame position.
“Then of course. Did you see Daddy lie?”
“No!”
“Whose daughter is our Rachel?”
“Daddy’s daughter!”
“That’s right. Our Rachel is my father’s daughter, and of course she can be stronger than Aunt Ignis.”
“Hee hee! It’s strange. I can become stronger than Aunt Ignis…”
“By the way, Rachel.”
“Yes?”
Are you feeling that good? There was aegyo in Rachel’s voice as she answered. It’s so big!!!!!
“Didn’t Dad just say that? When you use psychic powers, you draw on the power of the future.”
“Yes.”
“If you continue to use the psychic powers of the Necromancer… You will continue to consume your potential and you will not grow much in the end. You will not be able to become an S-class hero.”
“Huh? Uh uh…”
Rachel was taken aback by my words of pouring cold water on her.
To keep your potential, you must not use your psychic powers. However, if you do not use psychic powers, the level of psychic powers does not rise. However, if you use psychic powers to increase your psychic level, your potential will be reduced.
It wasn’t some kind of Möbius strip, and I couldn’t help but be embarrassed as the vicious cycle repeated itself.
“Well, then what should I do?”
Rachel asked me. There is a lot of worry.
“Hmm… First of all, Dad will come up with a solution. Until then, let’s not use the necromancer.”
“Then Young Hero…”
Without Rachel, Young Hero wouldn’t say such a thing, but it’s nothing but a fucking joke. There is no villain to be afraid of a group of 2nd or 3rd level psychic people.
“Rachel.”
“Your father.”
She asked Rachel, who was at a loss.
“Do you hate tattoos?”
*****
Pajijijijik-!
“Wow… That’s amazing…”
Rachel looked down at her own body as she stretched, as if the lightning flashing from her body was magical. Her lightning wrapped around Rachel like her armor.
According to my opinion, Rachel decided not to use her psychic powers for the time being. She chose to use her other psychic powers instead.
“This is too cute!”
“Okay?”
Taking her little mirror out of her pocket, Rachel smiled at her own forehead. Her daughter had a tattoo of a lightning bolt on her forehead. Letting her hair down allowed her to cover the tattoo.
She was worried about what she would do if Rachel hated tattoos, but she liked the tattoos enough to make her think she did it for nothing. Maybe it’s because she saw the tattoos on my body when she was little.
Through a special psychic [Tattooer], I handed over my [Thunder Emperor] Psychic power to Rachel.
It was originally a level 10 superpower, but because Rachel’s body could not withstand the level 10 superpower, she was automatically downgraded to level 6, the same as the Sorceress.
Of course, that alone was so strong that it was hard to find an opponent among his peers, no active villains.
“Tizzling!”
Pajijijijik-! Bang-!
With a dainty cry, Rachel stretched out her arms. A bolt of lightning released in front of her knocked down a tree with a roar. The tree caught fire.
“Uh, uhhh! What should I do, Dad! There’s a fire!”
Rachel was embarrassed to see the tree on fire, as if she hadn’t even thought of burning it. I looked at Rachel, who was at a loss for what to do, and I used Aqua Girl’s psychic power, [Water Drop Wizard], To put out her lights.
“… Thumbs up!”
Rachel gave her thumbs up at the sight of me skillfully extinguishing a lit tree. I also smiled and raised my thumb.
Even after that, Rachel used her lightning several times to get used to her thunderbolt psychic powers.
“But Dad.”
“Huh?”
“That psychic power has changed, but won’t the academy think it’s strange?”
“… Is that so?”
Rachel’s superpowers made her famous at the Hero Academy. Now that her psychic powers have changed, of course everyone in the academy will think it’s strange. Maybe even bother our daughter to find out what caused her psychic powers to change.
“Um… Daddy will take care of that.”
If you tell Jimin, he will figure it out for you. It’s very convenient to have my girls in high positions.
I took Rachel’s hand and descended.
