10 – 010 – Nymph Oinoi # 10
010 – Nymph Oinoi # 10
I attached various devices to my body and entered a machine that looked like a circular barrel.
Ugh-.
I hope you feel a little warmer for a while.
“Inspection is over!”
The operation of the machine ended with Yuari’s cheerful voice. It was very surprising that the test took less than 10 seconds.
“No, what kind of test is over so quickly?”
As far as I can remember, the physical mana measurement test was at least two to three hours of tedious work that had to be repeated.
Did you say that the test results will come out in a week?
Yuari, who was tapping the computer keyboard at my words, frowned.
“Wow, senior, when the hell are you talking about? What era is the world in these days? These days, tests are even 5 minutes slow.”
“Really?”
No matter how quickly the world changes, can that be?
I felt like a returning student who was starting to adapt to society again.
Of course, I had never been in the military and didn’t have time to go to college because I did my alternative service by clearing cracks.
“Here are the test results. Let’s see… , Your magic power level has reached C-class. Although a chin-up! And low body fat and high muscle density. The bones are strong too! Also….”
I already knew this fact, but after receiving confirmation from the public official, I felt it. As for the amount of magical power, it was good to see that I was also a C-class Awakener.
Yuari said.
“Senior, congratulations on achieving C grade! I thought if it was senior, I could go up! You really put a lot of effort into it. Right? I heard they climbed a mountain, burned amulet, and drank it!”
How long does it take to be congratulated by someone? I felt good, but in many ways, strange emotions came to mind.
Burning an amulet and drinking it is a rather embarrassing memory. After that, I got a stomach ache and went to the bathroom for over a week.
“No, how can I….”
As I hesitated at the embarrassing story, Yuari said.
“Ah…. Why, senior was a bit famous? Among the high-ranked Awakeners right now, there was no one who didn’t know you. I also often heard rumors about you. I often talked about it at the 3rd class alumni meeting.”
“3Rd class alumni meeting?”
Are you talking about the squad from when the 3rd rift was closed? At that time, I was leading F-class hunters as a squad leader.
Although I was in the 1st class, I was kind of like a mentor to the 3rd class students, so why was I not invited to the 3rd class meeting? Of course, there are a lot of 3rd generation students, including Seo Ye-rim, who are doing very well right now.
Even if I invited them, I could have been too shy to go out.
“Umm, what. After all, rumors follow celebrities.”
As she said that, Yuari fixed her eyes on my test results paper with a feeling of embarrassment.
As Yuari said, rumors always follow celebrities.
But is it okay for me to be referred to as a celebrity in front of that ‘Yuari’?
Actually, Yuari was more famous than me.
Yes, there was a time when the Internet site was divided into Seo Ye-rim and Yu-ari.
“I saw a lot of rumors about you too. Articles on the internet just came up. You, together with Yerim, achieved B grade.”
Class F Awakeners are actually no different from ordinary people.
It’s just that his body has enough mana to withstand the load when exiting or entering a rift.
Class D can strengthen their physical abilities by becoming aware of their magical power.
From Class C, you can enhance your physical abilities and inject the remaining magical energy into your body to wear it around your weapon. From this point on, I could only call myself a ‘superman’.
And as far as I know, Class B was a level that only a few who could be called ‘elite’ among C-class Awakeners could achieve.
At this point, each awakened person will be able to handle a special ability that can be called a specialty?
So to speak, the flames that Seo Ye-rim handled were like that.
“Ari, what was your awakening ability? It was like a real superpower.”
It was when I was going through my memory to remember what happened a few years ago.
Yuuri paired up! They clapped their hands.
“Senior, rather than that, please tell me who that kid is. It looks so small and cute! Are you the senior’s daughter by any chance?”
“What about my daughter?”
I was only in my mid-to-late 20s. I don’t know if it was in the Joseon Dynasty, but I wonder if there are already daughters like that in the world these days.
Soon, Yua Li opened her slender eyes and smiled puhehhhhh.
“I don’t know how it is now, but in the past, seniors were popular. At that time, I thought she was a daughter born out of wedlock.”
“What is popularity?”
I waved my hands awkwardly, but in fact, I used to be popular. I didn’t get a direct confession, but I often heard stories like “Hail, aren’t you okay?”
Of course, the popularity was not due to the human being ‘I’, but to the achievement of achieving the first ‘D-class’ hunter.
During the years when I was in Class D, I was ridiculed, not popular.
“But looking at it, I don’t look at all like my seniors. This one has her hair the color of honey. I don’t think I’m Korean in the first place. Foreigner?”
Yua Li stretched out her hand towards Oi-Noi, and Oi-Noi said “Hee ek…” !” She groaned and hid behind my back.
For reference, “hehehe… !” Was Oinoi’s scream, which can often be heard during the Korean practice game when the rain showers rush in.
Barr, Barr-.
Oinoi hid behind me and shivered like a dog in the rain.
Why?
Do you feel frightened by the sight of Yuari wearing a white coat? She didn’t think Oi Noi was shy, but she was.
I said.
“This is a nymph. You know the elf Like that, it is a newly discovered tribe. I found it first, so I’m temporarily protecting it. My name is Oino.”
“Really? Oh noi? What a strange name. Oh oi oi, oi no oi?”
Yuari made a boring joke and laughed to himself. She’s a joke that’s not funny, but it was funny because it was a very pretty girl.
I heard that even if a good-looking guy says, ‘It’s delicious—’ while eating bossam, all the women just collapse and laugh and go wild.
Is this just how women feel?
Anyway, after Yuari’s bizarre gag, there was silence for a while.
The tingling of the nape of her neck was very disturbing.
She is said to be her junior from long ago, but she hasn’t seen her face in years, so the conversation ends with this. I opened my mouth appropriately to dispel the awkward atmosphere.
“Anyway, it’s really nice to meet you like this. I saw Yerim a while ago. Were you close with Yerim? Are you still friends? In the past, the two of us ate together and trained together.”
As a D-class hunter, the only thing that has increased over the years was his social skills. In order to get a job, she had to raise her friendship skill, which is to say “Saba-Saba” To government officials, rather than combat skills.
In many ways, bringing up the story of a third party that we both know in an awkward situation is a basic skill.
At my words, Yuari tilted her head.
“Was I close with Yerim?”
From noble mtl dot com
“… No? Wasn’t it? It’s been so long since I remembered this….”
“Puheh, just kidding. What is Yerim, she is close. At that time, the 3rd generation students tended to keep in touch. Hey what Although I don’t play on the field anymore.”
“Really?”
“Anyway, seeing a face I knew after a long time reminded me of the past and it was nice.”
“Yeah, well, since I knew we were living well, let’s have a meal together sometime.”
With that said, I was about to leave the examination room.
Then Yuuri asked.
“How about tomorrow evening? I have free time tomorrow evening.”
Tomorrow evening?
I asked for a meal once, but I didn’t know that we would set a specific date. As I wondered, Yua Li stretched out her index finger and said,
“Senior, when you become a C rank, you have to learn new combat skills. I can give you a tip in my own way. No, then am I going to become a senior now?”
A tip for combat skills.
It was not a bad story for me.
Actually, I wanted to learn tips from someone. I’ve watched videos on the Internet and on Me Tube until I’m tired of it, but getting tips from someone in person is another dimension.
“Okay then.”

“No, it was scary… !”
On the way home.
Oinoi, who was shivering like a wet dog in the rain, finally let out the breath he had been holding back. He was always going around, touching the water purifier and turning on the sink, but today he was exceptionally quiet in the examination room.
“What were you afraid of? Doctor?”
There were times when I was a little scared when I saw a white gown. When I became a Class D Awakener, I had all sorts of needles inserted into my body and all the inspections were done.
It was the first time I knew that such thick needles could be stuck in the spine!
Then Oi Noi shook her head.
“Nymph sisters like this Oinoi…. They are often hunted by hunters… ! Because the hair and hand bones of nymphs like Oinoi…. It is used as an amulet material….”
Oinoi has often mentioned the existence of a ‘hunter’ before.
I heard that nymphs live together in deep forests or mountains because they are in a position to be hunted one-sidedly like innocent and innocent herbivores.
They were very poor friends.
“The woman in the gown I just met…. Oi noi ga is that she exudes a very similar presence to the hunters she met before… ! This oi noi is scary… !”
It was a trembling cucumber.
Of course, from what I heard, it was funny.
How clumsy and naive Yuari was?
After becoming an Awakener in high school and being conscripted, he shuddered at the slightest loud noise from a crack, and his nickname was either ‘Baby’ or ‘Chick’.
However, Oinoi was still afraid.
“Nymphs like this oinoi… It’s something you can instinctively feel… ! That is to say, the nymph-friendly and the nymph-repulsive… It is to differentiate… !”
“Really?”
I remembered seeing a story about herbivores on Me Tube before. Herbivores can instinctively sense what is harmful and what is harmless to them.
Apparently, the nymphs who have been hunted and persecuted for a long time also seem to have that ability.
Come to think of it, Awakened people develop a kind of ‘sense’ when they fight for a long time in cracks. The opponent is stronger than me, weaker, dangerous——a sense of telling things like that.
I suddenly became curious.
“How do you see me?”
“The owner of the house is as nymph-friendly as Evian’s gutter… ! It must be the first such nymph-friendly person since Cadmus, the founding king of Thebes… !”
Who else is Cadmus?
Does it come up if I search on the Internet?
When I was thinking about that, Oinoi said.
“With a nymph-friendly landlord…. It is certain that sisters will gather, just as nymphs gather in a clear ditch…. Nymph sisters of this land…. It means they are crowded together… !”
Indeed.
Oinoi seemed to think that nymphs would gather next to me.
Are there really other nymphs in this world besides the oi noi?
When I was thinking about that, Oinoi said.
“Muhh, this oinoi… ! I have already found traces of the nymph sisters on the Internet… ! It is sooner or later that I will meet the nymph sisters…. I’m going to show you the evidence… !”
Hurry up-.
As Oi Noi said, he turned on the computer as soon as he entered the house.
