Chapter 386 – 386. Confrontation
The next day.
SeAH has mastered storage.
Also, Seunghee and Anna are on the verge of becoming Blink Masters, and Mina doesn’t seem to have much left either.
Since you definitely increase your stamina, you’ll become more skilled.
Since the potion consumption is halved, it is only natural that the speed increases. The hard work has been worth it.
Besides, it will be more fun than having fun practicing in a bunker.
As you practice outdoors while breathing in the clean air, you will experience less motion sickness.
Anyway, becoming stronger is good. Of course… Although it’s still not as good as a contingent provided by the damn bastards.
SeAh now masters six skills.
There is still a long way to go. Still, I have some variety with this skill.
“Okay, now let’s learn the skills. Reinforced fists. Ah, before that.”
“Huh?”
“It would have increased skill radius by 1 and skill duration by 1.”
“Oh, there it is.”
“It’s not that useful to you right now… But just learn it anyway. Since both are 1, it only costs 100,000 each.”
I’m glad I got the Jjanggae Coin gift set last time.
The 10 million coins I got at that time. Although it was divided into four and only amounted to 2.5 million each, it is still quite useful.
Now I’m going to go kill those bastards with it. Hehe. I’m looking forward to it. Grow up well. Yoon Se-ah.
“I learned it. Then strengthen my fist?”
“Uh.”
“This is a shield and can destroy anything?”
What I heard from that bitch, I have already shared with everyone.
Of course, since the fascination cannot yet be explained, the source has been appropriately circumscribed.
And Se-Ah showed considerable interest in melee attack skills.
It doesn’t look like that, but it’s quite aggressive. Besides, it’s an infighter.
People who see it for the first time may not easily guess it.
Well, that kind of unexpectedness can give you the upper hand, even if only slightly. I think it’s a good choice.
“They said so. I haven’t seen it in person, so I can’t confirm. Besides, if it reduces damage, that’s not it either.”
Since she said it out of fascination, that bitch couldn’t have said something wrong.
Even if the communist bastards informed me incorrectly, I would have corrected it because I have seen it myself.
So I don’t think there is anything wrong with the information itself.
But… Even if there was no lie, there may be cases where you are mistaken, so you cannot blindly trust it.
I can’t be sure unless I see it with my own eyes and experience it.
“Hmm… Then shouldn’t we learn from those first?”
“No. This is more urgent right now.”
“What on earth are you going to do? Please tell me.”
“Okay. I’ll let you know when I’m ready.”
“They keep everything a secret. Ugh.”
Then, she presses the empty space in front of her with her finger.
Anyway, it’s funny. Even though you grumble, you still do everything you’re told, right?
“I took a picture.”
“Really? Then… Come with me for a moment.”
I went to where Seunghee, Anna, and Mina were, told them I was going out for a while, and opened the gate.
Se-Ah quickly enters the gate. Mina looks at Se-ah with a slightly envious expression.
Well, it’s about time for him too.
Don’t be jealous. It’s Mina. You have a ton of work to do. After a while, you will get tired of walking around with me.
As I entered the gate, Se-Ah looked at me and made a bewildered expression.
“What? This is a house, right?”
“Follow me.”
“What? Is it a duel? A challenge to a duel?”
“What a duel. And if you fight me, you’ll lose right away.”
“Huh? Is that really true? I’m not the same person I used to be?”
“Are you full of confidence?”
“Of course. I’m also a Blink Master?”
Se-Ah is overflowing with confidence. Hoo. Look at this?
“Hey, try going through the gate again.”
Gate not yet closed. SeAH goes over.
As I pass over, Seunghee, Anna, and Mina look at me and Se-ah and make puzzled expressions.
“What did you leave behind?”
“No. I’m going to do something.”
After answering Seunghee’s question, I spoke to SeAh.
“Okay, let’s do it here. The location is the entire land of Baengnyeong Island. The rules are… Okay. You win if you touch any part of my body without using your strength. I win if I put you to sleep. I’ll give you Handy. Furthermore, I don’t use invisibility. Okay?”
“Why? Use invisibility?”
“You have no detection. Honestly, you can’t even touch me when I use invisibility. So, I’ll give you a handyman.”
I guess Se-Ah didn’t even think of that. She seemed a little uncomfortable with the word ‘handy’, but she nodded as if she knew there was nothing she could do.
“Ah. You can use invisibility. But it doesn’t matter if you use it or not. It’s a waste of stamina, so don’t use it.”
“Huh? What? Why?”
“Your blink range is only 220 meters. And I have a detection range of 380 meters. It doesn’t mean anything. No, just use it. It’ll be more thrilling.”
As I gently raise the medicine, I see Se-ah slowly getting upset.
Tsk tsk. This is not possible.
I have to count. The showdown has already begun. If you get upset over something like this, you’ve already lost.
Of course, there’s a possibility that it’s just acting… Really?
“Oh. And take the potion. Don’t use your coins to drink the potion.”
I must have forgotten that, so I quickly rush over and pack a few intermediate recovery potions in my pocket.
“Uh… And.”
“Ah! Why are you talking so much?”
“Oh, it’s all for you. Even if you fall asleep, everything will be taken care of, so don’t be afraid of heights, and you can just attack.”
“Ugh… Do it faster!”
Haha. Se-Ah looks very angry. Ruler. Well then, shall we give it a try?
“Let’s see. Shall we do this?”
I picked up a stone nearby. Se-Ah, wondering what I’m going to do with it, looks at me with heightened tension.
“If you throw this, and it hits the ground, it’s starting right away. Okay?”
“Okay! Let’s do it quickly!”
“Are you two fighting?”
Mina asked carefully, and I answered her while holding a rock.
“Yeah. Se-Ah is attacking me? So I’m going to give her some education.”
“Kyaaak! Let’s get started quickly!”
Is it acting? It’s not. That’s a furious expression.
Mina seemed a little surprised by Se-ah’s appearance and stepped back, and I shrugged her shoulders and threw a rock.
A stone that rises into the sky falls to the ground in an instant.
And the moment I hit the ground, I immediately used my skill.
“Invalid! Sleep!”
Se-Ah appeared in front of me, lost her posture, and immediately fell asleep.
As soon as I confirmed that she was asleep, I immediately stretched out my hand and caught Se-Ah who was falling. Seunghee, Mina, and Anna looked at me with bewildered expressions.
“Void.”
Se-ah woke up and opened her eyes in my arms.
When she sees her situation, her expression quickly becomes distorted.
“Ouch! What is this!”
“What do you mean? I lost.”
“No! Why!? Why!? What is this!? Isn’t this a foul?”
“What is a foul? Where is the kid who charges in so honestly?”
“No!! How did you know that! That doesn’t make sense! That’s right! How do you know where to blink! Do you even have the skill to know that!?”
“What is your skill? Anyone who knows you well can predict it to some extent. Since you were a little upset, you probably wanted to show up right in front of me and stick your fist in my solar plexus, right?”
Se-Ah looks annoyed at my words.
Well, actually, it wasn’t that great. Anyway, I just have to move according to the sequence.
Since Se-ah is in a position where she has to hit me directly, she has no choice but to extend her arms and come into a position where she can reach me.
If you rush into Blink as soon as it starts, I can eventually put you to sleep the moment you extend your fist.
If that wasn’t the case and the distance had widened, I would have run away to Muhyo and then Blink.
It’s very simple.
They say melee attacks are scary, but if the blow is ultimately limited to your body, words are faster than fists.
Of course, if Se-Ah was a boxer, I would have gotten hit first.
But since it was annulled, it’s just a bare fist.
You experienced that before when you saved Anna. The man who used his might to accelerate.
“Profit… But… This is…”
“Do it again?”
“Do it again!”
“Good.”
When I readily agreed, Se-Ah looked at me in confusion.
Are you surprised that they asked for it so easily?
“Why?”
“Why? Don’t you want to do it again?”
“No… I want to do it again. But why?”
“Well, I have fun too, right? And I also need training.”
In fact, I am careful not to create situations where we might encounter each other… In the future, an unavoidable situation may arise.
To prepare for such a time, you need to practice. At least it’s better than going into that situation and being a parent.
I dropped off Se-Ah and picked up the stone again.
This time, Se-ah looks at me with a serious expression.
Hmm. Everything I scratched earlier is gone. Should I focus this time?
A rock was thrown, and it fell to the ground.
This time, I used Blink and went up to the sky. And as he fell, he used flight and blinked again.
I intentionally do not do ultra-long distance blinking. I have to see how SeAh turns out.
One time, he followed me and swung to the spot where I disappeared, then quickly widened the distance with Blink again.
Hmm. Is your blinking speed a little slow? Do you check if it is correct and then use Blink?
A few seconds like that can ultimately mean the difference between life and death. There’s no need to watch the fist swing until the end, right?
Blink again. You can’t stay in one place for a long time. You will become prey right away.
Moreover, you should not give patterns to blinks. You have to get used to this.
I need to be able to blink randomly without being tied to habits.
If your habitual blinking occurs without your knowledge, it can lead to trouble in an instant.
However, it is quite difficult to randomly blink.
In the end, people end up moving according to what they see in critical moments.
Additionally, the other party may target the blink location and block your view. In the end, the most important thing is to have a broad perspective.
Se-Ah continued to attack me.
This is chewy. It’s thrilling.
Even though Se-Ah does not use super strength or attack skills, it is definitely a thrill to think that getting hit is the same as dying.
Furthermore… You can’t lose, right? I can’t even imagine how much teasing I would get if I lost to Se-Ah.
When I think of Se-ah, who will laugh and say ‘hu-geup-‘ at me… Even if I die, I can’t lose.
That gas country would definitely do that. Ugh. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.
I blink while gradually slowing down.
Blink’s feast that lasted for a long time.
Blinks quickly follow each other to take advantage of each other’s gaps. Blink. Blink.
However, I am looking for an opportunity.
I don’t know what it is like about Se-Ah, but I’m not running away using Blink pointlessly.
Thirty-four, thirty-five, thirty-six.
Now, should I slowly aim for it?
Thirty-seven.
SeAh appeared in front of me, and I quickly avoided it with Blink.
Thirty-eight.
It didn’t show up. Where is it? Seah down there caught by detection.
I immediately blinked and flew over the back of Se-Ah, putting Muhyo and Su-myeong in there.
Oops. You don’t have to include invalid… I put it in habitually.
Se-Ah fell asleep while drinking a potion on the ground.
I just blinked and went in front of Se-Ah and then hugged her.
Oh my. As expected, sleeping is pretty.
“Invalid!”
Se-ah, who was being held, opens her eyes.
When she opens her eyes and realizes her situation, her eyes start to water.
“Ah…”
But when she looked at my face, she bit her mouth.
I guess she doesn’t want to show her tears either. The appearance of suppressing one’s resentment.
“Okay, let’s go now.”
I felt like I would get really upset if I made fun of it here, so I decided to move on quietly.
Ugh. It’s really hard to please.
“I won’t lose next time.”
Se-ah barely pretends to be calm and speaks softly.
“Yeah. Hey, honestly, it’s a bit awkward if I lose when I have free time.”
It may not seem like much comfort, but it is still true.
I understand the desire to win, but reality is always cruel.
After giving her a moment to wipe away her tears, Se-Ah gets out of my arms and takes a deep breath.
“Shall we go?”
The sight of her nodding her head without saying a word.
I used flight to fly to where Seunghee, Mina, and Anna were, and SeAh followed right behind.
When you see something like that, it’s definitely good to have a competitive spirit.
I know I won’t be the opponent, but I’m fighting back to try to win.
Of course, if you don’t have the skills, it’s all for nothing… That kind of arrival is important. It will become a driving force for your own development.
“Who won!?”
I just smiled at Seunghee’s question.
Seunghee, Mina, and Anna probably realized what he meant by not asking any further questions.
“Then will I come back?”
I opened the gate and everyone said hello again.
“Yes. Come back. Be careful, Se-ah too!”
“Take care!”
“Come back!”
Se-ah waved his hand without even looking and entered the gate.
Anyway, no matter what, I do everything I can.
When I saw Se-ah like that, I smiled once, waved to Seung-hee, Mina, and Anna, and then went straight through the gate.
