Chapter 308 – Dalian
With that thought in mind, Seong-il changes into his uniform and begins moving to the training ground where Yu Hwa-yeon is waiting for him.
‘Hmm… First of all, let’s try strengthening the body without using the inner strength as planned…’
Seong-il strengthened the body by channeling inner energy into the blood and meridians. He grasps the surrounding space with 『Sensation』, And then spreads 『Psychokinesis』 In all directions to take control of the surroundings.
‘I shouldn’t use telekinesis too openly.’
Seong-il, who only interfered with the opponent’s ability little by little, or limited his ability to the point where he couldn’t play tricks on himself. He lays all paving stones perfectly before reaching the center of the arena.
‘Still, since he’s the best prospect in the school year, I should do it right…?’
When she thinks that she might be disappointed with her clumsy attack on a top-class prospect with as many as three abilities, Seong-il thinks that she should attack her with her sincerity.
‘Because it’s my first battle after gaining enlightenment… Finally, it’s perfect for figuring out my capabilities.’
Seong-il thinks so and settles down in the middle of the arena with a confident expression on his face.
“…”
And Yu Hwa-yeon, frowning at Seong-il’s appearance. He grits his teeth at his attitude of subtly ignoring him and moves to the center of the arena where Seong-il is located.
“…I’ll see how long you can keep that cocky attitude.”
“Yes yes yes”
“…”
Yu Hwa-yeon shuts her mouth at Seong-il’s disregard for herself. She begins to ramp up all of her powers in batches while her observer counts.
“3… 2… 1… Start!”
Two people who were looking at each other at a distance of 3M. As the count ends, Lee Hwa-yeon, as always, uses the same tactical pattern she used against opponents with physical enhancement abilities.
‘First of all… Use telekinesis to limit its range of physical activity…!”
Yoo Hwa-yeon’s tactics are standard when fighting against body-strengthening powers. After subduing his body using telekinesis, she tries to launch a surprise attack behind Seongil by flashing quickly.
“…Uh?”
However, she is the figure of Seong-il, who moves freely, free from the control of her telekinesis.
He doesn’t even look at that, he looks ahead to the place he will move to by blinking and takes an attacking stance.
“It’s too obvious…?”
According to the information given by 『Emotion』, As soon as she assumes her posture, Yoo Hwa-yeon appears in front of her eyes. Seong-il lightly says a line as if he is laughing and starts punching him.
“Suck…?!”
Seong-il threw a fist without much thought, but when his attack flew so fast and strong, Yoo Hwa-yeon sprayed a psychokinetic shield with a pale face.
Quaang!!
As if ridiculing her efforts, Seong-il’s bloody fist shatters the shield lightly and flies into Yoo Hwa-yeon’s torso.
Even though she did not use the bankruptcy priesthood, she helplessly tears the defense against Seongil’s attack and is hit directly by the attack.
“Cheuk!!”
After creating a shield by crossing her arms, Yu Hwa-yeon additionally used the ability to strengthen her body. With her efforts put to shame, Yoo Hwa-yeon lets out her painful moans and flies off into the distance.
“Uh…”
Seong-il went out with all his might thinking that he was the top tier in his department. In addition, the resistance force given by Elisha may have taken effect immediately, but she could not even resist properly and passed out while colliding with a wall from her holy day’s attack.
“Did you… Hit it too hard?”
The sight of the coldly cooled hall. Although it was a sparring ground with only four people, no one except Seong-il expected such a one-sided result, so the two audiences look at Yoo Hwa-yeon and Seong-il alternately with shocked faces.
“Uh… I’m sorry. I didn’t know Hwayeon-senpai could be this weak…”
In the meantime, Seong-il, embarrassed, apologizes to Yoo-hyeon, who is the referee and her protector.
“…”
Yoohyeon does not respond to Seongil’s words, but quickly approaches Yoo Hwayeon and examines her condition.
“Huh… Fortunately, I just passed out lightly.”
Yu Hwa-yeon fainted, but was not seriously injured, probably because she received a momentary shock that was too powerful. Yoohyeon, the referee, carefully takes her spray from her bosom and starts spraying it on her arm.
‘Hey… Is that a spray type treatment…? I thought it was quite expensive.’
The appearance of Yoo-hyeon casually using the spray-type treatment, which is famous for a huge amount of drugs, on Yoo Hwa-yeon.
‘As expected, the rich family’s daughter is different…’
Not only that, when he even makes her drink various potions of her own, shortly after, her Hwa-yeon regains her sanity.
“Uh… How…?”
“…Unfortunately, you lost, Hwa-yeon.”
“Yes!? Uncle!! It can’t be!! My… I can’t be defeated so helplessly…!!”
“Whatever you thought, the result came out. Your defeat.”
“…”
Yoo Hwa-yeon looks bewildered at her absurd defeat. She sits there for a long time with a blank expression, then begins to roar in a fit of fuss.
“This is ridiculous!! My… I lost so ridiculously?! I can’t admit it!!”
“…”
Based on her blessed talent, she always runs to her tower, and she is shocked by her immediate reality and spits out her stupid noises.
Her pitiful, even miserable attitude towards Hwa-yeon made her feel sorry for even her Seong-il, who was looking at her closely.
‘Did I hit it too hard…?’
At that time, I was worrying uselessly about whether I should have stuck to it instead of drinking the resistance potion in moderation. Yoo-hyeon holds Hwa-yeon’s shoulders firmly and tells her firmly.
“You lost. You have to admit what you have to admit.”
“…”
In the end, Yoo Hwa-yeon lowers her head and maintains her silence at the sight of her uncle pushing her so coldly.
“After…”
As soon as she accepted the reality to some extent and seemed to calm down a bit, Yoohyeon stood up from her seat. He approaches Seong-il with an expressionless expression and responds by patting him on the shoulder.
“It’s your victory. You’re growing as fast as you’re a freshman. I was impressed.”
“Ah. Yes…”
“Did you say that you are a newly awakened vengeance enhancer?”
“Yes, it is.”
“Hmm…”
Yoo-hyeon looks at Seong-il who answers like that with a strange look. As he begins to look at it, Seong-il feels his blood run cold.
‘This human… Like Jo Woo-young at the moment…?!’
The moment the momentum changed, the appearance of Yoohyeon exuding a similar feeling to Jo Woo-young. Seong-il swallows dry spit and looks nervous.
“Why but?”
“Ah… Nothing…”
“I see. Interesting anyway.”
“Yes?”
“I want to feel like a strange power is pushing my strength little by little.”
“…”
“Hmm… I knew he was a multi-awakening ability, but he’s an interesting friend. There’s…”
“…Are you there?”
“Are you going through a level 7 or higher dungeon?”
“…No? I’m a freshman, and I cleared the lowest level dungeon for the first time with my teammates not too long ago?”
“Hmm…”
Yoohyeon looks at Seongil with cold eyes. He stares at Seong-il for a while, then moves away from Seong-il and nods at him.
“Well… If you’re like that, then that’s it.”
“…”
His eyes seemed to search his soul. He closes his eyes and starts muttering his incomprehensible words alone.
“…Well, it could have been ‘transferred’ from seniors in other grades.”
‘I heard it was delivered…?’
After that, he shuts her mouth, then approaches her Yoo Hwa-yeon and supports her.
‘Should I try projecting 『Emotion』 On that human…?
Seeing Yoohyeon’s extraordinary change, Seongil very carefully projects 『Emotion』 Behind him.
“…!!”
The second coming of the disgusting and terrifying aura that I had felt before. The strange sensation I felt from Professor Wooyoung Jo in the past is felt again.
‘Fuck… Shit… This human too…?’
A terrible energy felt from Yoohyeon. It wasn’t as much as Professor Wooyoung Cho in the past, but he also had the same energy as the one in question.
‘What the hell…? I didn’t feel anything until a little while ago…?’
In the meantime, the vicious aura began to fade from him little by little. Seong-il hardens his expression and observes his change.
‘…Suddenly? Why is my energy waning?’
Yoohyeon’s energy begins to change normally at the moment. The time when Seong-il was paying attention to the change. Lee Ah-hyun approaches him and starts talking to him.
“…What are you doing?”
“Uh?”
At Lee Ah-hyun’s question, Seong-il got out of his thoughts for a moment. He replies to her pretending nothing is wrong with her.
“Ah, I was wondering if senior Hwayeon would be okay.”
“…You’re worried about that?”
“Why can people even worry?”
“…”
Seong-il, who could not bear to say that her heavenly spirit guild was suspicious in front of them, naturally made excuses to her about her situation.
That time when he thought so and muttered to Ah-hyun. There is a strange look in Seongil’s eyes.
‘…Line?’
A strange black thread apparently burrowing into Yoohyeon’s body. The thread, so small that one could never see it at first glance, wriggled little by little at his feet and began to burrow into his body.
‘That… That a while ago…’
When he shuts up for a moment and looks at the two of them carefully, he frowns and watches Seongil and Hwayeon alternately.
Ignoring her gaze, Seong-il desperately uses all his senses to find out information about the thread.
Soon after, the tiny thread, the size of a speck of dust, completely penetrated Yoohyeon’s body, and at the same time, the vicious aura emanating from him completely disappeared.
‘…That thread, it is difficult to detect when it comes out, but it becomes impossible to detect when it burrows into the body of the host…?’
Seong-il seems to have roughly sensed the thread’s mechanism. When he was thinking Yoo-hyeon, whose atmosphere has changed significantly from before, calms down Hwa-yeon and approaches Seong-il again.
“Take it.”
“…This?”
“This is my business card. Seongil-gun’s ability is very impressive. I hope we can get along with each other in the future.”
“…Isn’t this a violation of the Prior Contact Prevention Act?”
When Seong-il, who was uncomfortable with his identity, answers slightly negatively, he begins to answer with a gentle attitude that makes it hard to believe that he had been so vicious just a moment ago.
“Haha… I’m also a visiting professor at the school. It doesn’t matter if you hand over your business card.”
“Ah… Yes…”
“And…”
“…?”
“All the contents of today’s Dalian will not be leaked to the outside as Seongil-gun’s ‘request’.”
“Ah, yes…”
“I hope Seongil-kun will keep his ‘promise’.”
“…I see.”
Seong-il nodded his head in agreement with his words, perhaps asking him not to underestimate the value of Yu Hwa-yeon, a promising prospect.
‘Well… I don’t want to get attention unnecessarily.’
Seong-il, who only wondered about his abilities, did not accept her challenge to get her attention. He meekly agrees to Yoohyeon’s non-request.
“Thank you. Then… See you next time.”
After that, Yoohyeon greets with a light smile and leaves.
“…What were you looking at?”
As they left, Lee Ah-hyun, who had been shutting her mouth, approached Seong-il and asked him carefully.
“That person… Didn’t you feel anything?”
“Well…? Not really…”
‘I wonder if I was the only one who felt it.’
The strange atmosphere and the appearance of the yarn, perhaps only sensed by one’s 『Sensation』. For Seong-il, the appearance was somewhat ominous, but at the same time, it feels like an opportunity for him.
“Hmm…”
And Lee Ah-hyun, who watched Seong-il’s sincere appearance from the side, had many questions, but she closed her mouth and began to think deeply about something.
‘Even though Han Seong-il has a strong quirky side, he’s not the type to talk nonsense… Is there really something?’
When Seong-il, who is always playful, ponders something with a serious attitude, Ah-hyeon suppresses his questions and quietly keeps his mouth shut until he finishes his thoughts.
“Let’s go at once.”
“Hmm…”
When Seong-il suggested her return home without loosening her expression, Ah-hyeon put her mouth shut and nodded her head.
After lightly tidying up the surroundings, the two start moving to their own rooms.
A few hours later
“Haa… I really didn’t want to come here…”
An intruder who arrived at the training ground during the day wearing a strange leather suit. With a pretty soft voice, she carefully examines the arena where Seong-il and Hwa-yeon fought.
A woman putting her hands on her floor and concentrating on something after closing her eyes. After a while, she gets up from her seat and mutters to herself.
“…As expected, the guy I met a while ago belonged to this place.”
