188 – Growing Pains (4)
Luna knows very well that her eyes are very special.
That’s why she never revealed anything about her abilities unless she was someone she could trust.
She sometimes avoids situations where chaos is fluttering, to the best of her ability.
I had an intuition that the moment this ability became known, she would become tired in many ways.
She did the same when she handed Rod a colorless magic circle. He doubted her Luna’s abilities.
She aroused some suspicion, but since it was her own matter, she was able to put it aside.
‘I think I’m feeling better now?’
How long has it been since she felt extreme pain in her eyes for some unknown reason?
It seems like she felt pain for almost a day. Thanks to her, she couldn’t sleep.
Her eyes were so sore that she could not open them properly. She ended up being hospitalized.
She even had trouble eating, so she received help from Ellie. She plans to repay him later.
‘Is it because of the painkillers?’
Then, Grace came to visit and the situation became noisy. Still, Luna didn’t really care.
From what I’ve heard, it seems like it’s a matter of Grace’s escort, but the eyes are more important now.
A wrapped bandage to relieve eye pain. Can I unwrap this and open my eyes?
I felt a little anxious because the pain was like being stabbed in the eye with a needle, but I’m fine now.
She is fine as if nothing had happened. She seems to have gone crazy on her own.
Although the doctor told her to monitor her progress, Luna decided to take off her bandages.
There must have been some change in your eyes. Otherwise it wouldn’t have hurt.
Sleep-
Luna carefully unwrapped the bandage. The darkness that had filled the entire day slowly receded.
After removing all the bandages, she slowly opened her eyes. A bright light struck her eyes.
Fortunately, there were no problems with my eyesight. In fact, it feels like something has become clearer.
‘Well…No change…’
Luna was about to tilt her head. A strange window appeared in her field of vision.
This is a window that is usually visible only when appraising an item. But now the form and content were different.
[Luna Estelle]
•Strength: 72
Dexterity: 89
•Stamina: 94
mana: 85
Luck: 54
•Faith: ??
This is a completely different message than the message received when appraising an item. Luna blinked her eyes.
I was a little confused at first, but I was able to immediately understand what it meant.
It looks like her physical abilities have been quantified.
‘But what is the question mark on faith?’
I am not sure about this part. Do you have to believe in one of the gods to be marked?
She looked at Faith for a moment and then turned her head. She turns her head and sees her acquaintances arguing, centered around Shivar.
It seems like Grace was playing a trick, but there is something more important than that. Luna looked at Sivar first.
Throb!
“Ahh…”
I exerted strength as if I was trying to appraise the object, but only pain came.
Luna frowned and then turned her gaze to Kara. I wondered if the emotions themselves were the problem.
[Kara Mayer Hectorsdóttir]
•Strength: 125
Dexterity: 127
•Stamina: 121
mana: 132
Luck: 89
Faith: 145
Contrary to expectations, Kara’s full name and all of her abilities were printed. It looks like Sivar is not the only one.
Luna looked at Kara’s abilities in detail and became a little nervous. The difference is quite a bit bigger than she thought.
“My strength is 125? I only have 72…?”
Even faith exceeded 140. She appears to have a high level of faith as she is favored by the Gulag.
On the other hand, she herself was extremely shabby. She exaggerated slightly, so each figure is close to being cut in half.
Meanwhile, Sivar looked at Luna. She must have heard the murmur just now.
Luna tried to avoid her gaze and focused on Kara. I was wondering if there was something more to come here.
‘It’s not coming out.’
But even though she stared at Kara, nothing came out. It seems that only the numbers are printed and that’s the end.
If this is the case, the sample is infinitely insufficient. No matter how strong Kara’s physical abilities are, she doesn’t know how weak she is.
So Luna also checked with Grace and Ellie. Grace is a wizard and Ellie is a non-combat worker, so it would be easy to compare.
[Grace Aria del Verce]
•Strength: 32
Dexterity: 30
•Stamina: 25
mana: 122
•Luck: 26
Faith: 85
First of all, Grace. Perhaps because the magic is gone, her basic physical abilities are very low.
He was a wizard so his magic power was high, but what was more surprising was his luck. Luck is quite low.
Actually, I don’t know what luck is based on. But I think being this low is a bit harsh.
‘Well, I even went through an accident like that.’
Perhaps it shows that she is destined to encounter many accidents.
Luna took her gaze away from Grace and looked at Ellie. Before we know it, Ellie is hugging Shivar’s face.
Shiva was also using her chest as a cushion and closing her eyes, and judging by the relaxed expression on his face, he seemed to be quite comfortable.
[Elimia]
•Strength: 42
Dexterity: 45
•Stamina: 56
mana: 57
•Luck: 15
Faith: 77
Although it is a non-combat position, her basic physical strength is surprisingly strong. Is it because she has been going here and there to dig up her herbs since long ago?
But on the other hand, luck… Is so miserable that it brings tears to your eyes. She never thought it would be more serious than Grace.
I wondered if that number was normal and the others were abnormal. What role does luck play?
I think this is an issue that needs to be considered slowly. First of all, Ellie is too low.
“First of all, Mr. Sivar, when are you going to be discharged from the hospital?”
“Well, I can leave the hospital soon, but I can’t control my strength well. I’ve broken three doors so far.”
“She’s gotten stronger? Huh? Now that I think about it, I think her face has gotten more handsome too…”
“That’s right. His face changed from a pretty face to a handsome one.”
People caressing Shivar’s face like rice cake. Shivar remained still as if he were a cat.
The sight of people just blankly closing their eyes and enjoying the touch. She seemed like a really pure and gentle cat, so I found her to be quite cute.
Luna giggled at them expressing their affection without hesitation, then she focused on Sivar. She said somehow she wanted to check his figures.
Throb!
“Ugh…”
It’s the same as before. My eyes were throbbing as I tried to check Sivar’s abilities.
Same level as when I first felt the pain. The pain is like being stabbed in the eye with a needle.
If things continued like this, I would have given up, but Luna’s venom is strong. She just wants to somehow check Shivar’s stats.
Wouldn’t that be the only way to know where the high point is? He defeated Kara without any immediate skills and with pure physical strength alone.
Throb! Throbbing!
‘Let’s be patient. Let’s just wait a little longer…
Luna widened her eyes and glared at Sivar. Sivar, who felt those gazes, also looked at her Luna.
Shivar tilted his head at the look in his eyes that felt like a madman. An expression that asks what on earth you are doing.
Anyway, Luna did not take her eyes off her and focused until the end. I could feel her determination to break through somehow.
Jureuk-
I felt something flowing from my eyes. Luna tried to ignore it.
She felt like she just needed to concentrate a little more. The pain is bearable.
As a result of her efforts and venom, the message Luna had hoped for was printed before her eyes.
[Shivar]
•Strength: 150
Dexterity: 147
Health: 148
mana: 151
•Luck: 112
Faith: 302
“Wow.”
This is a stat that will make you wonder as soon as you see it. First of all, it’s amazing that his strength approaches 150.
Compared to Kara, there is a difference of as much as 30. Of course, if the standard was set before hospitalization, it would have been lower.
But the fact that it is high does not change. Luna was suddenly able to realize the gap between her and Sivar.
Faith above all else. Faith was so high that it was abnormal. It’s twice that of Kara.

At that level, it’s safe to say that I love him, not just my favorite person. It seemed like he was receiving the joy(?) Of chaos.
‘Your physical strength is very high… What if you add skills to it?’
Wouldn’t a truly terrifying monster appear? It was about time I thought about that.
“Luna.”
“··· ···”
“Luna.”
“Uh, huh?”
Shivar called Luna. She naturally turned other people’s eyes to her.
“Huh? Huh?”
“Lu, Luna. Blood, blood!”
“My eyes are bleeding!!”
“······In the eyes?”
No matter who came first, I was scared as soon as I saw Luna. Luna fumbled her eyes in a daze.
Then I looked at her hand and thought, “What is this?” Her bright red blood came out.
I was a little dumbfounded and touched it several times, and more blood came out.
Yes. Blood was flowing from the eyes. As if she were shedding bloody tears.
“······Huh?”
Luna couldn’t hide her embarrassment.
******
Due to Luna’s bloody and tears incident, her cohabitation with Grace went nowhere.
Judging from her determination not to give up, it seems that she may be living together soon.
If that happens, strange rumors may spread, but Grace doesn’t seem to care.
I wonder if they actually want this rumor to spread. Like his fierce eyes, he also has a subtly sinister side.
“Do you want help controlling your strength?”
“Yes.”
And then I started receiving training from Rod. This is the most basic strength control training.
As I said before, if you don’t train, there is a high possibility that you will have a major accident or even a major accident after school starts.
It’s similar to holding a chick and it turns into mush. The problem isn’t the chicks, it’s the people.
“Hmm. Okay. I’ll help you.”
“Thank you.”
Rod didn’t want such a catastrophe, so he decided to gladly help.
When I bowed my back in gratitude, Rod smiled happily. An expression like looking at a well-mannered grandchild.
The saying that one does not want to harm people, even if it is a mistake, seems to have had a big impact. Actually, I feel the same way.
‘I want to avoid murder as much as possible.’
It doesn’t matter whether it was intentional or a mistake. I would like to at least refuse to kill people.
I don’t think there will be any answer if we go that far. It’s hard at first, but after that everything becomes easy.
“Anyway, Luna, are you okay? I heard she shed bloody tears.”
“Ah. It’s okay now.”
When I was discharged from the hospital, Luna was also discharged. The impact of the Blood and Tears Incident was huge.
Rod encouraged Luna not to overdo it and headed to her backyard. I also followed behind him.
“Wow… Your agility is 159? But you lost 2 points. Is it because of the poison?”
Luna’s mumbling reached her ears from behind. It seems like he got a glimpse of Rod’s abilities.
His numbers may be slightly off due to his addiction. If you leave addiction unaddressed, it will be cut in half.
Fortunately, it seemed like he was close to a complete cure as he only lost 2 points. This means that it won’t be long before he returns to the real Sword Saint.
‘I was kicked like a dog before I came back, but when I came back…’
You really shouldn’t fool around. I don’t want to be beaten with a cane.
“Are you training on a regular basis?”
“Yes.”
“Good. First, we will create an urgent situation. The key is how well you can control your strength in an urgent situation.”
That is the purpose of training with Rod. Controlling your strength in emergency situations, not everyday life.
There is not much time left until vacation, but I plan to do my best. Rod will also be very helpful.
“Then I will tell you in advance before training.”
“What?”
“It’s a mistake, and don’t do anything to cause trouble. Otherwise, I’ll hit you with all my heart.”
“··· ···”
No matter what, doesn’t he look at me too strangely?
‘I got caught.’
You know me so well.
