258. Arya’s Test – (4)
***
“Unbelievable.”
As he blurted out the words, Chun-seong realized an unexpected change.
—-I can’t speak.
Between the rising nausea and dizziness, thoughts close to disbelief did not leave my head.
‘Why aren’t the words coming out of my mouth?’
I thought I had spoken. Rather than telling her anything else, I was thinking of revealing the ‘fact’.
ㅡThe truth that I am not a person of this world.
Between confusion and nausea. Still, I thought Arya might understand what I was saying, so I was about to say it for the first time.
“…!”
But that didn’t come out.
Even as I covered my mouth with both hands from nausea, it felt like my head was about to explode.
Why? The words of another world… did not come out of my mouth. I couldn’t tell Arya.
I felt pressured, as if someone had forced me not to speak.
In the midst of an unprecedented sense that I couldn’t resist at all, I was overwhelmed just by accepting the energy of the mandrake.
… … .
After that, I focused all my attention on taking care of my body, and there was no further conversation between Ariya and I.
So I didn’t even know how time passed after that.
Even the purpose of my first visit to the Mage Tower has completely faded.
The idea of seducing Arya in order to win her heart was taken aback by the idea of accepting Mandrake somehow.
And now.
As if all of his energy had been drained from his body, he had no strength, and his mind was just blank.
“ha… .”
Even as he exhaled lightly, his vision, which had completely undone, was not even properly focused.
I just want to let go of everything.
It was too difficult just to accept the mandrake and get it right, but even more difficult to accept the fact that disturbed my mind made it feel like I was overloaded.
Seruk.
“it’s okay. Han Chun-seong, just think about taking a break for the time being.”
Her eyesight turned to Arya in a daze at the calming voice, but her silver hair looked white and her vision was blurry.
again.
Right after that, I heard Ariya walking, but I couldn’t do anything.
My body seemed to float, and the sensation was strange, as if strange heat and cold chill coexisted.
From a certain point on, I didn’t feel sick to my stomach, but even the blurry vision from extreme fatigue didn’t recover.
“… … .”
Even as Ariya watched her leave the space, her eyes closed by themselves.
‘I really want to rest.’
After putting all my complicated thoughts behind, I just wanted to rest.
***
Seruk.
Ariya shook her head as she picked up a tranquilizer potion from a nearby room.
“It’s really hard like that, so I can’t do anything more.”
It was difficult to hasten answers that were not heard, and to ask other questions.
It’s because I can feel that I’m holding on to the line and enduring just by looking at it.
As for me, I had to feed them mandrakes as a reward, but I didn’t expect them to endure mandrakes to such an extent.
‘I was thinking of erasing the sense of distance by soothing you like Esia, but… .’
Since he endured and endured like that, there was no way he could forcefully interfere with it again.
Seruk.
When he returned with the potion, as expected, he saw Han Chun-seong unconscious.
He was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed, but I clicked my tongue without even realizing it.
good.
While placing the potion on the table like that, I gently sat down next to it. And I took a closer look at the sight.
But there was no stench or vomit I thought.
It’s like he just lost consciousness.
“You really endured it.”
I mumbled and laughed out loud.
I thought I would vomit because I couldn’t stand it, or I would lose consciousness and involuntarily spit out the nature of mandrake.
However, it seemed to accept Mandrake’s temper as his own energy, which was absurd.
“… … .”
I wanted to wake him up and feed him a potion, but he decided to let me rest for a while seeing him sleeping while exhaling colorfully.
Seruk.
I opened my eyes narrowly as I rested my chin on the table.
His face, visible through his disheveled black hair, was full of sweat and was clearly tired. In addition, it was amazing to hear the slightest shaking of hands or weak breathing.
‘Can it really be called the realm of will?’

Now that I’ve been looking at Han Chun-seong, I’ve heard all sorts of thoughts.
Whether it was possible for humans to accept mandrakes, of course, not all humans thought it was impossible.
But for that to happen, several conditions are required.
If you are a human with a perfected body, possessing the status as a being and the perfected power, you can accept the mandrake.
A person of that level could not suffer as hard as Han Chun-seong did a moment ago.
However, this one thing was certain.
“Agar-seong shouldn’t be able to withstand it, after all.”
From that standard, Han Chun-seong was not an acceptable body.
By analogy, it was like pouring too much water into a bowl. There was so much water that they didn’t get all of it, and they thought it wouldn’t matter if it spilled around.
I thought I just had to take in as much mandrake as Han Chun-seong could.
In reality, Han Chun-seong tried to contain several times as much water as the vessel he was holding, and unbelievably, he managed to receive the mandrake’s energy into his own body.
“I mean, I don’t know.”
He flicked his hand lightly, thinking he still couldn’t understand it.
right!
Along with a light sound, a cool breeze began to embrace Han Chun-seong.
Immediately, a slight breeze removes and erases sweat and dirt. Even while adjusting the body temperature, which shook greatly, only laughter leaked out.
‘Still, I definitely have talent.’
Even if it is not a talent for mana, it is the power that humans can grow the most.
Considering the power that is a characteristic given only to humans. I could see that Han Chun-seong had more talent than anyone I had ever seen.
Willpower beyond comprehension.
“That’s why I handed over the certificate, though.”
Because the mental strength that endured the nine apostles could not be ordinary. Maybe this is right, but it was a strange feeling.
Just looking at it from the side for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 1 hour, I just thought about this and that.
A person who gave a certificate.
It’s worth that much, so I didn’t think it was a waste of my time.
Rather, I felt a deep regret.
‘Is today this far?’
It was clear that Han Chun-seong was already at its limit.
Judging from the state of her body now, what she tried to teach me on the first day seemed impossible to do today.
‘Even if I restore my body, my mind won’t be able to keep up.’
Because humans are very fragile.
From nob le mt l. co m
No matter how great the will, willpower was intangible and clearly limited.
It is like a string with a fixed length. It can be extended for a long time, but there are definitely limits.
If you ignore it and force it, your mind will easily break down. It’s really futile… The mind is easily broken.
In addition, a human being who has just reached adulthood should not be neglected because the mind is more immature than the body.
Even if Han Chun-seong showed enough willpower to surprise me a moment ago.
“Aftereffects will inevitably remain.”
Then there was nothing more I could do here.
When I thought about that, I laughed again, although regretting it.
really… .
“What are you?”
He was a human with no objective theory of information. In addition to the outstanding lineage, it was not a high-ranking trait.
However, there was a strong will that even humans who had everything did not have.
It had to be seen that a human being who had nothing was making it himself.
I wonder what the driving force is and what the reason is.
Because it arouses a lot of curiosity to me strangely.
Then, softly, he stretched out his hand.
The car that was said to be a human being that arouses my curiosity after a long time… .
“ah.”
When Han Chun-seong suddenly opened his eyes, I was a little surprised with my hand outstretched.
‘already?’
Even though he wondered if he was already conscious, he didn’t hesitate to reach out his hand.
Seruk.
***
“… … .”
Even though she had her eyes closed all the time, her nature just wanted to take a complete rest.
My body is terribly tired and exhausted, so I want to go to sleep like this, but I can’t.
My mind wouldn’t allow it.
So I just closed my eyes and stayed still. Even if I just close my eyes, my body feels pretty comfortable.
again.
Then when I realized that Arya was back, I thought I should get up, but my body seemed to refuse.
The closed eyelids were too heavy, and the droopy arms and legs just wanted to stay lean.
So, without realizing it, I stuck to this state.
A bizarre state of not falling into sleep.
Even though he was listening to Arya’s words, he didn’t think properly, as if he was listening through one ear.
How blankly did I close my eyes like that?
In fact, the nature in the strange sensation of sleeping while still conscious was finally able to regain consciousness.
Seruk.
When I woke up like that
A white hand was reaching out between the eyes that were vaguely looking for focus.
“ah.”
I couldn’t understand even when I opened my mouth in a daze.
Why is Arya by your side? And whether everyone is reaching out to me right now.
Seruk.
But when the hand touched his hair, he hesitated and accepted it.
Squeak.
A hand gently caressing her hair.
…It was strangely soft, and it felt like I was receiving something unexpected.
“Don’t try to think big. You can just relax for now.”
Took.
Arya’s voice was still cold.
Since we met today, she has never been cold. Even if she treated me well, her voice was as cold as hers.
But that cold voice now… .
It felt a little different.
A sense of heterogeneity, as if there is a small warmth in the coldness.
Even though it was contradictory, strangely, every time her cool hand ran through my hair… I couldn’t get rid of that contradictory thought.
