27 – Yeoneunryeong_2
At first I thought it was an illusion.
At the end of the month evaluation, I thought it was a mistake simply because I was in poor physical condition.
But it wasn’t.
It is disappearing.
I definitely felt it.
Mana was disappearing.
As if there was a small hole in the bottom of the bowl where the water was placed, and the water leaked out.
Softly. A little. And surely mana was disappearing.
When I realized that, the first emotion I felt was fear.
From noble mtl dot com
The world returns to mana.
The world is made of mana.
In such a world, Yeon Eun-ryeong knows that people without mana cannot be treated as human beings.
The feeling of falling into an infinitely deep abyss.
It’s not that I can’t guess the reason.
She wasn’t sick, and the reason why her normal mana disappeared like this was because of the pill.
Other than that, she didn’t do anything special, so that was all.
Yes.
That’s all.
“I don’t know why. In this case, stress is the cause and I feel that way—”
“A bottle that loses mana? Although there is, it is a disease that is manifested in infancy and continues, but there is no case of adult manifestation. Obviously, the amount of mana was lower than the previous record, but this could be a problem with stress or physical condition, so take a pill—”
“There doesn’t seem to be any way.”
The hospitals I visited just in case didn’t know why.
Isn’t that an illusion? It’s because of stress. He denied.
But this is not an illusion.
It’s real, it’s true, and it’s what I’m going through right now.
Managa—
Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear. Disappear.
Disappeared─
Even if you wave your hands and feet in the air.
I can’t reach anything.
So we stayed up all night.
I wondered if there would be any way to overcome it if I met that merchant.
But I couldn’t meet her.
The academy said they didn’t even know about it even if they quietly leaked such a story.
On that day, even if you look closely at the CCTV nearby, the only thing that is recorded is yourself.
‘I can’t do this, cadet Yeon Eun-ryeong.’
‘Ah really, there’s no one else on the picture here other than you, right?’
‘Just do it. There is no such person at the academy. ‘
The merchant was nowhere to be seen.
As if everything is an illusion and everything is a lie.
‘A merchant? Didn’t you see something wrong?’
‘Is there evidence?’
‘Because of simple stress…’
No one believed me even when I told the story of that day.
But he is aware.
I understand.
Mana was disappearing.
I really didn’t have an answer anymore.
Just falling into the endless abyss.
Now I really…
“It’s okay, I’ll help you somehow.”
Let’s go to the academy for a few days without notice.
Seonghyun Lee came to the dormitory.
He gently hugged and stroked me with a worried look.
It was warm.
A room where no one comes.
How many days did you spend in tears on the bed wrapped in a blanket?
Until a few days ago, none of the people who praised me as great had come.
He.
‘Ah…’
I was able to gain strength.
I was able to do my best.
He believed the story of the merchant that no one believed.
He stayed up all night together.
And.
“Oops… Are you a guest?”
Maybe it was because of my hard work with him, but I was able to find it in the end.
It was on a day so dark that the clouds covered the moon.
A black robe with a grotesque appearance that still makes it impossible to know who or what kind of existence it is.
It looked a little different as it stretched to the side as if it had gained weight compared to last time, but there was no way there were two of them last time, so he was right.
I can’t forget the sounds like old mechanical sounds mixed and mixed.
It was a voice I will never forget.
“Everything, what did you give me!!!”
“What did you give me? Who… Oh, you’re the customer from last time. How did the medicine work?”
Effect?
There was.
There were so many that I was going crazy.
“You are!!!”
“Wait Eunryeong-ah!!!”
I couldn’t stand it.
That’s why I managed to squeeze the remaining mana and run.
And Lee Seong-hyun, who was watching it from the side, stopped Yeon Eun-ryeong from his sudden action, but he had no way to retrieve his body, which had already sprung out.
“Oops. Ciri dangerously.”
But I couldn’t compete with him the other day, so there was no way it would be different now.
The black robe moved softly to evade Yeon Eun-ryeong’s attack, while grabbing his arm and twisting it to make it settle on the ground, then sat on top of it.
“I have no idea why you are doing this, but why did you attack me?”
“Don’t pretend because of the medicine you gave me!!!”
“About… oh that sample? I just gave it to you, and I’ve never forced you to eat it. Why are you doing that?”
…
That’s right.
It was Yeon Eun-ryeong herself who took the medicine carelessly.
That was an unchanging fact.
What I made was what led to this situation, no matter what anyone says—
“Even so, you wouldn’t say you didn’t mean to do that, right?”
At some point, Seonghyun Lee was standing behind a black robe and threatening him.
Then, a black robe raised his arms as a sign of surrender.
“Well, not at all. Aren’t samples originally meant for promotion? Of course, because it was a sample, the efficacy was low and there were some unexpected side effects, but it hurts a little that I was treated like this. So what are you here for?”
“Get away from it first”
“Leave… I thought it was a wild boar because I jumped at it as soon as I saw this, but it turned out to be a woman.”
The black robe slowly stood up and began to step back slightly.
When Yeon Eun-ryeong was freed, she immediately stood up and went next to Lee Seong-hyeon.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah…”
“I’m glad.”
I got help again.
I should have realized that I couldn’t do it with my strength, but my body naturally went out in anger.
It’s stupid.
I was stupid and only caused trouble.
“There is no need to blame myself. If I was in that situation, I would have been nervous.”
“Yeah…”
His kind words really touched my heart.
‘As expected, I am you—’
“I was able to catch my guard and aim behind you, but now it seems that there is no such opportunity, and if you jump at it recklessly, you may get hit or miss the opposite way, so let’s talk about it first.”
“Yeah…”
“Whispering between lovers is nice, though. It’s hard to forget me. I’m a merchant, so I’m busy, so please tell me your business quickly.”
And she was a black robe that broke it as if she didn’t want to look at it.
“No, even if you don’t tell me, I can roughly guess. Probably to ask me how to overcome the mana evaporation phenomenon, which is a side effect of the sample.”
Seeing the side effects described in detail, it must have been known from the beginning.
Yeon Eun-ryeong glared at the black robe and nodded her head without speaking.
“You mean she doesn’t want to mix things up? It’s good, yes. It’s a way to prevent mana from evaporating, so it’s easy. Just buy the genuine product, not the sample, and consume it.”
“Genuine…?”
“Yes, if you take the Elixir of Real Awakening, the mana evaporation effect will disappear and you may even become stronger.”
Then you have to buy it anyway.
There are no other options.
I didn’t want to feel the fear of mana gradually disappearing.
“I’ll live.”
Whatever, whatever.
“Really? Phew i’m glad Look, didn’t I tell you last time? I don’t like going back and forth twice saying you need happiness, but since you’re buying it, I’ll serve you at a special price this time. I will only receive 100 billion won in cash for the Elixir of Awakening.”
“100…Billion?”
It was an outrageous price.
How are you going to pay that price?
No, not just myself.
There was no way among the academy cadets here who could pay that amount.
“Why is it so cheap?”
“Impossible…”
“Is that ridiculous? If you don’t know, the Elixir of Awakening is originally a national strategic asset, so if you go to America’s Holy Empire, you can get twice this price, right?”
“…”
Impossible.
I can’t reach it no matter what.
Now by force…
“Ah, if you move even one step from there, it will run away right there.”
And it was the black robe that struck first, as if it had noticed.
Then they started to move away step by step.
A few times.
Now it has become out of reach.
A moonlit night with no one around.
If the black robe disappears like this.
Now really…
Yeon Eun-ryeong felt that hope was gradually disappearing.
“Wait.”
At the time Yeon Eun-ryeong was overcome with despair.
Lee Seong-hyun’s voice rang low.
“Yes? What are you doing?”
“Common sense, you’re trying to sell something at that price to an academy cadet for money? Isn’t that ridiculous?”
“That’s right. I believed that Laplace Academy would be a good purchase because it is the best academy in the world and has an excellent academic zeal. But what is it? I haven’t been able to sell anything lately. It’s a failure. Failure tsk tsk.”
“Isn’t that nonsense?”
“What nonsense… I mean it.”
It was a black robe that shook its head in amazement.
“You know, another way”
Another way?
What is that…
“Ahahahaha… Yes, there is. It’s amazing that you realize that. If the money doesn’t work as you said, you can pay it in a different way.”
“Another way…?”
Yeon Eun-ryeong murmured softly.
If that’s the case.
It might be possible—
“It’s not difficult, but I want you to kill someone first. Is that possible?”
The devil laughed.
I was filled with only despair.
There was nowhere to escape.
**
‘It’s a bit of a smoke.’
No matter how much life was at stake, Oh Seong-jin, who was useless to think that he could act so well, had a corner that could be used.
Of course, there was a sense of clumsiness somewhere.
‘By the way, how far can you go?’
Let’s start by killing people.
And step by step, yes, step by step, let’s dye it in a good color.
Eunryeong-ah, your crying looks and your blood suits you.
Isn’t it?
