Chapter 196 – Nightmare
Seong-il went back to his room after finishing work like that. He takes off his sweaty clothes and thinks while taking a shower.
‘As the old man said, I succeeded in injecting my energy into Ah-hyun’s body! By tomorrow, Lee Ah-hyun will feel something strongly while practicing bankruptcy priesthood. Then she will have no choice but to trust me.’
Seong-il, who has no doubts that everything will go according to his plan, takes a shower and lies on his bed, expecting Ah-hyun’s reaction tomorrow.
Next day.
Seongil wakes up in a good mood with a pounding heart. He naturally moves from his home base in 『Inner Plane』 To his room and checks his smartphone.
‘Huh? Is this Lee Ah-hyun?’
Seong-il checks the message after waking up from bed, feeling awakened by Ah-hyun’s message on his smartphone.
『Hello everyone. We had a meeting two days ago, but we’re going to have a final meeting tomorrow about dungeon exploration…”
‘Oh… I did something.’
Seong-il feels that steam is leaking due to the contents of Lee Ah-hyun’s group messenger who applied for a team meeting related to dungeon exploration.
‘Whoaam… Is the meeting late in the afternoon? Then I can’t get a massage today…’
When it seemed that he would not be able to use the color ball against Lee Ah-hyun, Seong-il suddenly became troublesome. He slowly moves to school, feeling that the refreshing feeling he felt just before is cooling off.
Seong-il finished class like that. He thinks of going back to his room, but suddenly an idea comes to mind.
‘Yeah…But I have to check what Lee Ah-hyun thinks about the effect of the dual hand technique before the dinner meeting, so I’ll have to go to the training ground…’
After finishing his thoughts, Seong-il goes to the training room where Ah-hyeon is always training alone.
“Hi.”
“Oh, are you here?”
Seong-il has been in and out of Ah-yeon’s spa room for several days, and he greets her very comfortably with the relationship she has become accustomed to.
‘Hmm? It seems strange that the greeting tone has improved a bit today? Is it an illusion?’
Knowing that Ah-Hyeon Lee has very few emotional ups and downs, Seong-Il begins to ask her questions.
“How is it? Did you feel the effect of yesterday’s massage?”
“Yeah. I definitely felt it.”
‘Oh oh!! Done!!’
Realizing that the feeling he felt from Ah-hyun just before is real, he continues the conversation with a voice full of confidence.
“Look at that. I told you. It works.”
“Whoops… I’m sorry. Actually, I was a little suspicious yesterday.”
“…”
Seong-Il looks at Ah-Hyeon with a sad expression on his face. However, perhaps thinking that his expression was dissatisfaction with himself, Ah-hyeon quickly continued talking as if to calm him down.
“Ah, don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I doubted you unconditionally. However, since the situation is the situation, I, too, as a person…”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. I understand. If you’re driven to such an extreme situation, everyone has no choice but to be so suspicious.”
“Thank you.”
“By the way, I want to see the effect with my own eyes. Is it possible to demonstrate bankruptcy theocracy?”
“Of course.”
After answering like that, Lee Ah-hyun took the ceremony of the bankrupt priesthood in front of Seong-il’s eyes, and then began to practice martial arts without hesitation.
‘Oh… Sure…’
Ahyeon’s Kwonbeop Chosik doesn’t show the same awkwardness as the previous time. In between postures, Seong-il could feel the unstoppable momentum unfolding with the power of his inner strength, not human strength.
“Whoa… How is it?”
“That’s great? To be honest, in the past, there was a strong feeling that martial arts were forcibly performed through muscle or body strengthening abilities, but now it seems that herbivores unfold like water flowing. It’s wonderful.”
“Whoops! Thank you!”
She feels a strange sense of possessiveness coming from Lee Ah-hyun’s bright appearance, which she has never seen before. And when such a possessive desire comes, Seong-il takes advantage of the moment when her atmosphere becomes more harmonious, and he begins to sneak up on his sinister plan in earnest.
“As you’ve experienced today, you know that the power flowing through your body hasn’t been created by you yet. I forcibly injected it yesterday to pierce your blood.”
“Hmm…”
At Seong-Il’s words, which aroused her colic, Ah-Hyeon let out a quiet voice and hardened her expression slightly. In order to drive her to the next level, Seong-il begins to follow her words.
“However, if I constantly inject inner energy and stimulate your veins to unclog the clogged blood, then maybe you will be able to use inner energy like me.”
“…Please.”
“But.”
“…But?”
“You felt it yesterday, but blood vessels are all over the body, so it’s important to stimulate them evenly.”
“Hmm…”
As soon as I felt the intention of Seong-il’s words, I hardened my expression and began to think. Seong-il persists in her words as if pushing her.
“That’s why your choice is important here. I’ve already proven to you today that what I’m doing isn’t a lie, so I really want you to believe in me and entrust ‘your body’ to me and give me a perfect massage treatment.”
“…”
“That’s good for you and for me. If you’re not going to do it right, you’d better stop right here, and I’m not wasting my time on you, so that’s good, isn’t it?”
“Hmm… I think you’re right. I saw a definite effect today, so I can’t deny it.”
‘Done!!!’
He seemed a little worried, but when he sees a clear effect today, Ah-hyun expresses a positive answer, just as Seong-il said. Then, the excited Seong-il manages his expression as much as possible and starts talking about his sinister plan.
“First of all, let’s make it possible for your inner energy to bloom by next week. Seeing that you can use your inner energy today, you definitely have a talent.”
“Ah, thank you for that.”
“First of all… There is a dungeon exploration tomorrow, and there is a meeting today, so you’re not going to massage today? So, if there are no injuries, the exploration is over…”
“No, I want you to do it today. Seeing that my body is getting stronger today, if you receive the treatment today under the premise that you are not overdoing it, I think it will definitely have a good effect in the dungeon tomorrow.”
‘Oh oh!! Is this unexpected?’
Seong-il is excited because he didn’t know that Ah-hyeon would voluntarily get a massage today. He manages her excitement and pretends nothing is wrong with her nodding her head back.
“Yeah, well… If you do it in moderation, there should be no problem.”
“Thank you. By the way, the meeting place today is a cafe in front of my house, so let’s go to my house right after the meeting there.”
“It’s good!”
After saying that, Seong-il uses his preparation as an excuse to move to his workshop and start making plans for the future.
‘Hmm… But until today… No, until next week, let’s just do normal (?) Color training. When you can gently slow down and even touch Lee Ah-hyun’s genitals without any damage, that’s when the real training begins!!’
After having a light meal, he goes to the promised cafe to meet his teammates.
“Oh! It’s been a while Han Seong-il?”
“Oh, it’s been a while since I got promoted.”
“Yeah, sit here. I’ve reserved a seat for you.”
“Yes. Thank you. What about Yuju?”
“He said he stopped by for a while because his house is nearby.”
“Ah…”
Promotion and Sung-il, who didn’t have much to see each other because they were in different grades. They spend a lot of time talking nonsense like that.
“Hello everyone?”
“Oh, are you here?”
Oh Yu-joo, Seungjin’s girlfriend who appeared shortly thereafter. When her cute statue appears, her promotion laughs very happily and pats the seat next to her own.
Naturally, not long after she sat next to Seungjin, Lee Ah-hyun with a drink appears in her cafe.
“I’m sorry. I came late again. I’m close to home…”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. It must have been because she was preparing the briefing materials alone. I understand.”
“Whoops… Thank you.”
Hearing Seungjin’s nice words, Ahyeon sits down with a smile that she doesn’t normally wear.
‘… Even if he just smiles like that, men line up. Why is he usually so cold… No, maybe it’s because he’s annoying.’
When Seong-il is immersed in useless thoughts, Lee Ah-hyun distributes the prepared dungeon materials and starts explaining to the team members.
“Please accept it. I distributed the materials through messenger beforehand, but it would be nice to have printed materials as well.”
“Oh~ I like it! Thank you~”
Is it because lovers resemble each other? Oh Yu-joo also received her materials with a pleasant tone as much as the promotion, and the atmosphere of her team members begins to ripen like that.
“Well, first of all, the strategy is the same as the last time?”
“That’s right. I was a bit worried last time because Seongil’s skill was unknown, but as you saw during the last exploration, he’s a reliable vanguard. So I don’t think there’s a need to change tactics and explore. Especially if it’s a 10th grade dungeon.”
“Well, it’s only 10th grade, but it’s strange to think about a new strategy. Let’s do as we normally do. Anyway…”
“…?”
When the promotion is suddenly speechless, the team members look at him in unison. Seungjin then fixes his eyes on Seongil and starts asking questions.
“I heard that Seong-il decided to have a sparring match with Choi Hyeon-woo next week?”
“What?!”
Lee Ah-hyun is shocked by his words. She looks at her holy day in bewilderment and asks questions.
“What do you mean?”
“Whatever, I decided to fight as I heard.”
“…Why all of a sudden?!”
When Seong-Il answers calmly, Ah-Hyeon is dumbfounded and asks Seong-Il what she is doing. At her words, Seong-il sighs lightly and begins to answer.
“Why would you do that? It’s a plan to fight me, show me how to behave, and then kick me out of your team. Do you really have to ask me that?”
“…”
Seong-il’s bombshell remarks made the group fall into silence, and Seong-il began to speak to them.
“Don’t worry guys. To be honest, I also wanted to stick with him.”
“Are you okay? He’s better than Ahyeon when it comes to simple combat, right?”
Oh Yu-joo looks at Seong-il with a worried look as her usual pleasant expression disappears. Seeing her like that, Seong-il shrugs her shoulders and begins to answer.
“Well, you have to do it to understand it? And what about sparring? Should I die? Decisively. If I win, that’s enough. If I win, my team won’t be bothered.”
“Haa…But that’s too high…”
“It’s okay. For now, let’s continue the story of tomorrow’s dungeon exploration. Let’s talk about the sparring issue after it’s over.”
When Ah-hyeon cut off her words as if she was tired of her seong-il, she had no choice but to shut her mouth. That’s how the team meeting ends in a messy atmosphere.
“I’m going to have a private meeting with Ahyeon for a while. Go in first.”
“Oh~ Are the two of you…?”
“No way. It’s Dalian.”
“Ah…”
When Seong-il comes up with a reason to be alone with Ah-hyeon, Seung-jin loses his desire to joke around as usual.
He smiles awkwardly, scratches his head, and leaves with his girlfriend. As they leave, Ahyeon Lee starts asking him questions.
“…Am I out of my mind?”
“So? He said he wanted to pick me up first and then fight against a new avenger, but why would he refuse?”
“…”
“Haa, it was something we’d bump into someday. And you’d better think about it too.”
“?”
Seongil’s out of the blue Ahyeon looks at him with a puzzled expression.
“Think carefully. Instead of the promotion senior who has a girlfriend, he thinks that I am a competitor now, so he would target me first.
“!!”
“Isn’t it obvious? We haven’t spoken a few words about you, but he’s half insane when it comes to your problems?”
“Hmm…”
“Actually, the best thing is, having you consistently overwhelm him in Dalian is the coolest way to solve it, but there are times when you’ve come to this point because you don’t have the capacity to do that.”
“Haa… I’m going crazy.”
Seong-il flinched at the harsh curse he heard from Lee Ah-hyun for the first time. However, Seong-il soon regains his cool and continues his conversation.
“Don’t worry. If you and I become stronger and he can’t keep his head up, this will be easily resolved.”
“…Is that easy? Really?”
“Isn’t there anything difficult? I think it would be enough if you could develop your inner energy and build up your inner energy.”
“Um… Is it? How long do you think it will take?”
‘I asked!!’
Seong-il succeeded in leading the conversation the way he wanted. He subtly starts tossing rice cakes.
“Well? It’s me. After the flowering of my strengthening ability, I learned my inner strength from my master and quickly built up my skills.”
“…Is that possible?”
“Yes, if the initiate is prepared to lose his life.”
“How do you stack the others quickly?”
“Ah, it is said that if you collect inner energy through the simbeop after breaking through the veins, it builds up little by little every day. By the way, don’t worry, I’ll tell you about the simbeop after breaking through the blood veins.”
“Hmm…”
Ah-hyeon is disappointed by Seong-il’s words that simply piercing does not make him strong. Toward her, her seongil begins to speak her words.
“There’s a quick way to stack them.”
“…Which?”
“It’s a ‘shortcut’ written by my master…”
After saying that, Seong-il begins to explain the double-handed technique to Ah-hyeon.
“…Am I out of my mind?”
“Well, for example, there are methods like that. I’m not saying you have to use them, so just keep that in mind. Unless there’s a risk like that, it’s only natural that your skills build up slowly.”
“Ha, that’s a bit unfortunate.”
“…Isn’t it too greedy? Even if it’s slow, anyway, it’s great to have an option to become extra strong.”
“Ah, I didn’t mean that. Anyway, the bottom line is that you and I get stronger and beat up the annoying kids.”
“Yes.”
“Then, let’s go get a massage right away, without having to talk about it with a headache.”
“Yes yes~”
‘…Today, like yesterday, I’m going to end it by caressing my breasts in moderation. And tomorrow, when the dungeon exploration is over, I’ll use the ‘Voodoo Doll’ to make them want to learn the dual hand technique.”
After saying that, her seongil trains her with her color ball at her Ahyeon’s house, just like her yesterday, and then ends the day.
