Episode 35. Not here (4)
“Why do you think so?”
I pride myself on being a specialist in patience. It wasn’t sewage enough to make me cry here.
“I heard a rumor. You’re flirting with pretty schoolgirls who are famous for their hypnotic powers.”
“If the rumors were true, Signal wouldn’t have been watching, right?”
If the living body part on the top of the neck is not a decoration, it means to live with thoughts.
“hmm. That’s right. Then, is that senior just really here on his own?”
“okay.”
“Even though you know that rumors aren’t good?”
“At first, it was a rumor. That senior believes in that.”
“Oh oh… . but. If the rumors were true, the girls wouldn’t have flocked here. Mmm.”
The male student began muttering incomprehensible words as if he had realized something.
“What are you talking about?”
“huh? Oh sorry. Now, the insolvency here has become quite famous.”
“Are you famous? Because of my notoriety?”
“I thought it was like that at first too. However, they say that the girls have been looking for this club a lot for the past few days. It’s so popular all of a sudden, that’s why opinions are divided right now.”
What is this again?
“Keep talking.”
“Some say you hypnotized every female student you meet, so you were cornered, and someone said you were actually popular with female students. Opinions were divided into two.”
“Hoo.”
“Actually, I was worried about dating.”
Eyes flashed open.
love troubles. Along with career and employment counseling, it was a field I was confident in researching while I was in college.
“so?”
“If you’re popular with girls, so if girls flock here, what the secret might be, if not the secret, I came here because I thought I might be able to get some advice… … .”
I didn’t bother to correct the male student’s words.
“You came to the right place. Believe me.”
“Oh, really?”
He put his hand on the boy’s shoulder and patted it lightly.
From the very beginning, I said something very rude, but what is it? It’s something people can misunderstand and live with. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time, but I was able to laugh happily at this level.
“Come in at once. Sit where you are comfortable.”
“Sir, excuse me.”
The male student entered the room, noticing Kang Ah-ram.
“hey. What are you standing at? Bring me some tea next to the coffee pot over there.”
I used one of my innate abilities, telepathy, to communicate my thoughts to her in my head.
Aram Kang looked at me with wide open eyes, as if he was startled.
“It’s something only you can hear. It’s my ability, so don’t be surprised and move. hurry!”
Did he think it was an opportunity to make up for his earlier mistakes? She nodded eagerly and immediately served the tea as I said.
‘Telepathy is a third-level nature, so it eats up a lot of mental power… . I should write when I write.’
I quietly observed the boy’s reaction.
“oh. thank you.”
When Kang Ah-ram lightly touches her hand in the process of handing her the tea, she is startled and accepts the cup.
‘It’s completely sukmaek, but this. There is a high probability that he has never had dating experience.’
More definitive information was needed.
I gave additional instructions to Aram Kang.
“Aram Kang. Ask the client if the tea suits their taste.”
“Does the tea suit your taste? If you don’t like it, can you change it to something else?”
“yes? Oh no! are you okay. That’s enough. Thank you for caring me.”
The male student answered as if he was embarrassed while handling the cup.
The appearance of not being able to make eye contact with Kang Ah-ram. However, he is clearly expressing himself.
and.
“Seniors. that… . May I ask your name?”
“Call me Aram Kang.”
“ah! You are senior Kang Aram. Can I ask you something?”
“huh. What?”
“How did you come to join this circle? I’m a little curious about how the two of you met.”
I almost covered my face at the male student’s words that followed.
‘Find out. Are you that type? From the time they asked me if I was hypnotized as a nopaku, I couldn’t believe it, but it’s as expected.’
At times like this, I constantly mutter two words in my mind: respect and understanding. This was a world that could not survive without it.
“Aram Kang. Facial expression management.”
In the meantime, Aram Kang’s expression was distorted as if he had chewed sh*t, so he urgently started to evolve.
“Ah~ that’s what you mean.”
“You don’t have to answer me. Just come next to me and pretend to be close to me just once.”
“well? How did you come here?”
She came up to my side, took one of my arms and gave me an office smile.
The male student looked at me and Kang Ah-ram with an envious face and said,
“Are you two dating?”
“Manage facial expressions. I say leave it to your imagination.”
“I-I’ll leave that up to your imagination.”
Kang Ah-ram’s cheeks began to twitch. When I recalled her in the original story, I was on the side of enduring that as well.
“I can’t be anxious. Enough is enough, so go outside and wait.”
“Then let’s talk the two of you. If I’m there, you’ll be bothered, so I’ll be out.”
“yes? It’s okay because it’s not really a big story to talk about… … .”
She left the room as if to run away before the male student finished talking.
Meanwhile, when the male student confirmed Kang A-ram had left, he immediately turned to me.
“hey. Are you dating that senior?”
“no.”
“So you’re just friends?”
“Why did you ask that?”
“Can you introduce me?”
It was absurd.
Do you know what kind of girlfriend agency this is?
I’m sorry, but this isn’t that kind of place… … .
“that’s right! Circles said they could receive benefits when they accumulated activity performance, right? If it goes well, I’ll promote it here to my friends!”
“You say that. Should I keep it?”
It’s not like that here.
***
If it’s natural, then of course.
I proceeded with counseling in a line that did not obscure the essence of the trouble counseling department. Even the male student didn’t have high expectations, so he said yes even though he said he couldn’t introduce him.
“I am not a blind man. You two are like that, right? It’s not that he doesn’t have good morals to the point of stealing a woman someone else was working on. Because I am a gentleman.”
In the middle, such nonsense passed by, but I ignored it lightly.
‘Even though he was a guy with missing screws in many ways, the trouble itself was a normal love affair.’
Usually, the main cause of these worries comes from self-confidence. I can’t. I can’t. It’s obvious I won’t be There’s no way I can do it.
In that sense, the best prescription for me. There was Emotion Implant.
“how is it. Was it a good consultation?”
“Thanks to you, I feel relieved! Thank you so much!”
When I consulted while instilling positive emotions, he was so excited that he left the room.
“Keep your promise.”
“of course! I’ll publicize it to my friends that there is a love guru in the trouble counseling department.”
“What, wait. You can just publicize it as a circle that provides counseling for ordinary troubles… … .”
It’s been about a week since he left.
“You said you were the love doctor?”
“I heard rumors and came here. I heard that the magician of love is here?”
“The rumors weren’t completely bluff, were they? Leave such a pretty female member by your side… . Whoops, sorry. I got a little excited. How dare you speak rudely to the god of love.”
It seems that I really had a lot of friends, so more students came to the trouble counseling department.
All of them were male students, and they had some strange misunderstandings, and all of them had troubles with love, but I consulted them wholeheartedly.
‘How are you? In the end, it’s true that it’s a counseling service, and it’s because I can raise my natural skill level.’
As a result.
I was able to face the status window that achieved remarkable growth.
Step 1 (safety)
+ Emotion Implant Lv.5 (Emotion Injection) [Proficiency: 41%]
+ Mental Acceleration Lv.4 (Mental Acceleration) [Proficiency: 89%]
+ Sense Control Lv.1 (Sense Manipulation) [Proficiency: 59%]

+ Mind Siege Lv.1 (Physical Control) [Proficiency: 33%]
+ Eyes Fake Lv.1 (Perception Manipulation) [Proficiency: 27%]
Step 5 (ban)
+ Amnesia (???)
+ Ripley Syndrome (???)
My main skills, the innate ability, mental acceleration and demagogue, were finally approaching level 5.
‘When I reached level 5, my abilities were strengthened as my nature was upgraded.’
In that sense, Emotion Implant, the skill that provides the most food among my natures, finally passed level 5, and my nature was promoted.
The change in ability was as follows.
＜Emotion implant＞
:: The caster’s own desired emotion. Or inject it so that the other person can feel it.
:: You can check and receive the feelings the other person is feeling.
A new line has been added to the existing nature description.
emotions are conveyed To put it simply, it was just an ability to infer how the other person was feeling.
I tried to activate the second ability of the Emotion Implant towards Kang Ah-ram, a female student who was peacefully lying on the sofa and taking a nap.
[Currently, the other person is feeling extremely comfortable.]
[Would you like to receive that emotion?]
It almost felt like this.
What’s noteworthy is that I don’t stop at simply checking my emotions, but I can also feel the emotions the other person feels depending on my additional choice.
[I receive the emotion.]
As soon as I received the emotion, the emotion Kang A-ram must be feeling right now permeates my head.
‘How should I express this feeling?’
In cold weather, it felt like stepping into a blanket heated by an electric blanket.
To think I was feeling this while taking a nap on an ill-fitting sofa. I thought it was a good life to sell.
I smiled and turned my gaze to the status window again.
‘If I had to point out a regretful thing, would it be that I still can’t use the 4th or 5th level of nature?’
Step 4 can be used if you want to use it, but the efficiency is atrocious. I couldn’t even dream of using it in actual combat unless the environment supported it, such as during a runaway wild forest.
‘I tried it on Eom Na-yeon the other day without knowing anything about it, and it broke in an instant.’
It was time to go home.
“Aram Kang. It’s time to leave school now, so wake up soon.”
“Huam… . Is it dinner already?”
“You seem to have slept very well.”
I shook Aram Kang to wake him up. She stretched out with a loud ‘cuddle!’ and jumped up from the sofa.
“Certainly, people should sleep inside buildings. Isn’t there something so comfortable that it can’t be compared to sleeping on a rooftop bench?”
“I am The male students who came here for dating counseling should have seen that pitiful side of you.”
“Still, because I was by your side, the male students trusted you more and accepted counseling. Isn’t that why you asked me to pretend to be close to you?”
“It is, though.”
It is everywhere.
When we talk to each other, especially when talking about the other person’s flaws or shortcomings, ‘What are you?’ The same situation often happens.
It is no exception when it comes to psychological counseling. No matter how much the title of counseling psychologist is, there are clients who have doubts depending on the counseling topic.
“Just talk. If you can continue to provide napping places like this, we can cooperate with quite a few things. Why don’t you wear s*xy clothes next time and seduce more boys?”
“Do you know what kind of entertainment this is? Don’t act nonsense, and when you come to the trouble counseling department, always wear straight clothes.”
“Sheesh.”
I see you lick your tongue I just wanted to dress comfortably.
“oh.”
When I was about to leave school after locking the door of the circle, I had to face an unexpected person.
It was snowflakes.
“What are you doing here?”
“I heard rumors. I heard that the trouble counseling department is so popular these days?”
“hey. I go first.”
At that moment, Kang Ah-ram, who threw it out, opened the hallway window and jumped down without hesitation.
It was 9 stories high, but I wasn’t particularly worried. With her ability, she should be able to land safely.
“I hoped it was real.”
“what?”
“I heard that Mr. Kang Ah-ram became a member of the trouble counseling department. I was skeptical when I heard the news. Because he didn’t want to hang out with anyone.”
Seol Chae-hwa looks out the window. Kang Ah-ram’s back was seen as he trudged across the campus with his hands in his jacket pockets.
“You know him?”
“I know all the great people. At one point, I tried to recruit him, but Mr. Kang A-ram blatantly avoided me.”
aha. Maybe that’s why I just avoided the seat with a embarrassed face? This was a setting I wasn’t aware of.
‘If you think about Kang Ah-ram’s personality, Seolchaehwa, who eats well and lives well, probably didn’t seem too happy about it.’
It’s just that I’m adjusting it well, so it doesn’t show much. Kang Ah-ram is basically a character with a twisted heart.
“so? Why did you come here?”
“If you don’t mind, could you introduce Kang A-ram to me? If you let go of the bridge, I can greatly reward you.”
“I want to do that too, but you’ll probably say you don’t like it. I don’t want to have a relationship with him by forcefully arranging it.”
“okay. I’m sorry.”
I turned from the stale door and tried to walk past the seolchaehwa.
“If this is done, I will go too.”
“Wait.”
“Are you done yet?”
“It was a combination of both. The one who came here is Mr. Kim Do-yoon. Because of you.”
The moment I heard her words, I naturally thought of what should have happened between Seol Chae-hwa and Ghost, about the love affair in the second episode.
“What business do you have for me?”
“You rejected my request last time. I want to talk about it again.”
“Didn’t I tell you then? Please wait a little bit.”
“You didn’t tell me how long that little bit lasted.”
I couldn’t be sure of that either. Rather than stopping the satellite project, he was in a situation where he had to recruit an additional colleague besides Kang Ah-ram.
‘I was able to quickly recruit Kang Ah-ram as a teammate because I skipped the section.’
The other characters were not structured to be solved simply with tricks like Kang A-ram. Because of that, I can’t guarantee how long it will take. I even had to work hard to become stronger.
“Looking at you asking like that, it seems like an urgent request?”
“You got it right. It’s difficult if it’s not this time. Because people’s lives and the safety of my friends are at stake. I want you to hurry right now.”
After saying that, Seol Chae-hwa suddenly bowed toward me.
“I beg you respectfully. This time, it’s not the position of Polaris Vice President Seol Chae-hwa, but a human Seol-hwa to save her friend.”
“… … Does it have to be me?”
“If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have come and told you in person. This is the moment when we desperately need Kim Do-yoon’s strength.”
It is rare for Seol Chae-hwa to humble herself and ask for something. Perhaps if I refuse this request, she will distance herself greatly from me.
‘I was trying to postpone the request because I didn’t want to get involved with Ghost at this important time, but… … .’
In the end, if I had to take the risk either way, I had only one option to choose.
“okay. I will accept that request.”
