140 – Preparation (1)
“…… Isn’t it necessary to attack the tower first with Adelin?”
A tempting idea came to my mind.
How about visiting the Seongcheon Church directly without struggling to attack the tower one by one?
Of course, I wouldn’t be able to meet a person like Adelin without making an appointment in advance, but I felt like I could manage something with a bit of force.
Because Adelin is strangely kind to me.
It seems like there were a lot of bad things with Adelin in the past, but it was never a lie that he was friendly to me.
Perhaps even if I went directly, the possibility of harming me seemed small.
…… Well, the others besides Adelin were very hostile towards me.
‘Especially Charlotte, she seems to dislike me quite a bit… ….’
A chill runs down her spine when she thinks of Charlotte Redsberry’s face.
Charlotte is the core power of the Holy Heaven Church, and she is one of the strongest in the world. She says she is one of the strongest hunters.
It’s never a good situation for her to be resentful of a person of her level.
There are only a handful of people who have bought her grudge against Charlotte and are safe.
She is not a rowdy personality, but her Eun-won relationship is certain.
She probably had a fight with me before she lost her memory, but later, she’s afraid of how Charlotte will behave, so her eyes are grim.
Right now, it seems like she’s obeying Adelin’s words, so it’s okay, but there’s no guarantee that she’ll be okay all the time.
I think it would be good to prepare countermeasures in advance.
She is Charlotte, who said she would kill me with her vicious eyes.
If you think about her usual Charlotte personality, it must be sincere, not a joke.
When she thinks that Charlotte, who is no different from the pinnacle of the hunter society, is sharpening a blue blade at me, her hamstrings feel numb.
‘Oh really. What the hell happened in the past.’
It is clear that something bad happened with Bonama and the Seongcheon Church, but it is frustrating because there is no way to know exactly what happened.
I don’t think it was a big deal, considering the words that Adelin Charter, the symbol of the Seongchun Church, was almost killed because of me…….
‘…… Could it be that she was trying to assassinate Ethelin?’
Then, I don’t understand the response of the Seongcheon Church.
Attempted assassination of the Seongcheonnyeo is an indescribable felony.
The Seongchun Church must have tried to kill me or capture me.
However, the Seongcheon Church is silent. Doesn’t show any movement Ethelin doesn’t seem to know that she almost died because of me. Or maybe you don’t know who the culprit is.
‘Charlotte was clearly aware…… The rest of the favors were also looking at me badly…… Hmm. Maybe she only knows about Ethelin’s entourage.’
I scratched the back of my neck.
No, no, wait a minute.
Let’s not think too badly of it.
Is there any reason to kill Adelin in the first place? There is no is not it?
Ethelin said she almost died because of me, but she said it might have been an accident.
Somehow she accidentally did a lot of damage to Ethelin and that’s why Charlotte hates me.
She wants to kill me in her heart, but she holds back because Adelin is holding back and she knows it’s an accident.
‘…… No, that’s not it It’s strange that Adelin almost died in an accident in the first place. Actually, you said that Athelin had been bedridden for some time. She is surrounded by numerous escorts and has the ability to recover, but the fact that she has suffered that much…… It’s proof that she attacked premeditatedly.’
I’ve thought about this and that, but I can’t come to a conclusion.
It’s because of too few clues.
All I can tell now is that Ethelin is friendly with me, that she almost lost her life because of me, and that Charlotte and the escorts hate me very much.
“Haa… ….”
“Seojun? Why are you suddenly like that?”
“…… Nothing.”
Clan House Common Room.
Seoyoon slightly tilted her head and expressed her doubts.
She spoke in a worried voice to me, who was lost in thought while staring blankly into space. I shook my head and licked my lips slowly.
“More than that, how are you today? Are you having a hard time because of your mental ability?”
“Thanks to Seojun, I improved a lot. Thank you very much.”
“No. No need to thank How much do I owe you? I’m really glad I could be of any help.”
“What are you talking about, Seojun? You owe me Is it all because I wanted to do it? You don’t have to think of it as a debt at all.”
Seoyun gently held my hand with a kind smile.
“And Mr. Seojun.”
“Uh, yes.”
As soon as I touched Seoyoon’s soft and warm hand, I felt a warm feeling. Her anxieties and worries that had been messing around in her head just a moment ago were melting away.
“Seojun is really giving me great strength just by being by my side.”
“No, what… ….”
“Really. Whenever I think of Seojun-ssi being by my side, there is something that warms my heart, right? It was something I could never have imagined in the past. I have always avoided people because of my telepathic abilities.”
For Seoyoon, her ability to transmit her mind was like an incurable disease.
I am periodically absorbing Seoyoon’s telepathic ability, but it was only a temporary measure anyway.
As the days went by, his ability to transmit his mind grew stronger, and one day the day would surely come when he couldn’t handle his own abilities.
Then what will happen to Seoyoon?
You don’t even have to think about it.
Because I know the future.
“Yunah Seo.”
“Yes. Mr. Seojun.”
I chewed my lips carefully with a hesitant expression on my face for a moment, then suddenly opened my mouth.
“Maybe…… If you could get rid of your telepathic abilities, what would you do?”
“Yes?”
Seoyoon blinked at her cutely as if she was curious for a moment, then raised her question.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“No, just in case. I wonder what it would be like if I could get rid of your powers.”
I smiled bitterly as I scratched the back of my neck.
I have no intention of talking about Adelin right now.
Not because I promised not to tell anyone about Adelin’s abilities, but because I didn’t want to be a celebrity.
“Of course, if I could get rid of this ability, I would love to get rid of it… ….”
Seoyun glanced at me with a puzzled expression.
“…… Wouldn’t it be a bit difficult for Seo-joon if we got rid of this ability?”
“Huh? Why me?”
I put on a puzzled expression.
It’s because I can’t understand Seoyoon’s words.
From noble mtl dot com
“You often told me that my telepathy ability is quite useful.”
“Ah.”
Certainly, there was a time when I praised Seoyoon’s ability to communicate.
It was a very useful skill, so it was naturally praised.
You mean you don’t want to get rid of your telepathic abilities because of that?
“No, that’s what I mean.”
I scratched my cheek and let out a lie.
“Actually, that was just what I said. It’s good if you have it, it’s okay if you don’t have it…… What would you say is like a gyereuk?”
This telepathic ability is quite useful, but I didn’t want to see Seoyoon in pain.
That’s because Seoyoon is far more important than her ability to communicate.
‘Come to think of it, I received a lot of help from this telepathic ability… ….’
For example, it is very good for improving the s*xual feeling and pleasure of the other person…… f*ck?
‘Wait a minute. Could it be that I’ve only done stuff like that with this ability?’
I’m a little embarrassed.
Why did you only use this great ability like that?
If you use your telepathic ability well, you can read the other person’s thoughts, and you can even launch a psychological attack by interfering with their mind.
But why was it only abused in such an insidious (?) Way?
“… ….”
While I was sighing deeply in my heart, I sneakily checked Seo-yoon’s condition and found that Seo-yoon had her gloomy face and her head slightly bowed, dispersing her sad expression.
“…… My skills are useless. It’s a bit unfortunate.”
“… ….”
Since the drooping shoulders seemed a bit gloomy, I hurriedly brought up another topic.
“By the way, Seo Yoon. I told you that I fought with Hwaryeon the other day.”
“Ah. Yes.”
“I played light sparring, but I didn’t get a single effective hit. Wow, Hwaryeon was really strong.”
I didn’t tell the truth about everything that happened with Hwaryeon, and I remembered what I had told Seo-yoon with my own dramatization, so I switched the fire in an instant.
“The freezing ability has a wide attack range and is quite flashy, but it felt like it lacked attack power.”
“I will. After all, it is ice.”
Seoyoon shook her head as if to affirm my words.
Seoyoon’s expression calmly subsided beyond her gently swaying blue hair.
Ice, ice…… Seoyoon’s heart was a little stuffy because she didn’t seem to be able to use it properly despite absorbing her abilities.
“Since Hwalyeon’s body is harder than steel, it would have been difficult to inflict direct damage on her. She wouldn’t have been able to easily freeze a person like Mr. Hwalyeon, and she wouldn’t have been able to use the cold to slow her down.”
“Uh, yes. That’s right. It was. It really didn’t work at all.”
It was like a fight between a primitive man using a stone tool and a modern cavalry.
Even if the chariot was knocked down with a stone tool, it could not make a single scratch.
I felt that much of a gap.
“I see.”
Seoyoon closed her eyes as if thinking for a moment.
Then she quietly opened her eyes and stretched out her right hand.
A small ice flower was created on the palm of her hand.
A beautiful flower made of pure white ice radiated cold air.
“As Seo-jun knows, I use a mixture of freezing and magic.”
“Yes.”
Did you say the so-called synthetic freezing?
“If you use synthesis magic well, you can strengthen it in various forms.”
I looked down carefully at the glittering ice flower.
“By adjusting the hardness and strength of the ice or changing its properties.”
“Oh.”
“You can go further and absorb shock.”
“Can you block Hwaryeon’s attack?”
When I inadvertently threw out a question, Seoyoon nodded her head with a subtle smile.
“I can’t give you a definitive answer because I don’t know exactly how strong Mr. Huaryeon is, but it’s probably possible.”
It was a voice full of confidence.
I felt faith in my own abilities.
If you think about it, Seoyoon reached S rank faster than Hwaryeon.
If you simply compare the speed at which she reached S rank, she is in the top five in Korea.
“If you use your ice-binding ability well, you might be able to injure Hwaryeon-san. Would you like to take a look at this?”
At some point, the ice flowers were gradually becoming colored.
The petals looked very sharp and strong.
Is it synthetic freezing?
“Isn’t the ice flower dyed red? I slightly adjusted the intensity and hardness.”
“It’s amazing.”
“Later, if Seojun learns synthesis magic, he will be able to inflict some damage on Hwaryeon.”
She wasn’t sure if she would be able to injure Ganghwa-ryun, who had knocked down the ice pillar by playfully hitting the night, but anyway, the desire to learn synthesis magic was slowly seeping out.
If only I could learn synthesis magic, I would be stronger than I am now.
…… Of course, I’m a sucker for magic.
Ah, I want to learn magic.
“I have no talent for magic, so if I try to learn it now, I don’t know when I will be able to use it.”
I scratched my cheek and gave an embarrassing laugh.
I remembered that Seoyoon was sweating profusely while trying to teach me a simple magic trick. At that time, Seoyoon’s embarrassment was still clear in her mind. Thanks to him, she was able to realize for sure. That I have no talent for magic at all.
“I knew you would, so I prepared something for you, Mr. Seojun.”
With her kind smile, Seoyoon handed me a beautifully wrapped box like a girlfriend who prepared a Christmas present.
I stared at the box with my eyes wide open, and Seo-yoon tried to hold out the box a little more, but I accepted the box.
“What is this?”
“It’s a magic book.”
…… Magic book?
“It is a sorcery book called the Book of the Blue Sky. If you use this magic book, you will be able to use synthetic magic to some extent. Of course, you will have to practice for a while.”
I carefully peeled off the wrapping paper.
Then there was a book in it.
As I gently opened the book, the book floated into my mind.
In the book, I could see various spells written on it.
“…… At first glance, it looks expensive.”
How much was it for one book of magic?
It varies greatly depending on the type, but it was the magic book that started with at least a few hundred million. I heard that the magic book Seoyoon uses costs hundreds of billions of won.
“Can I accept this…… I’ve received a lot from you so far…….”
“Please don’t be burdened. Seojun is planning on attacking the tower in the future. I wanted to help in any way.”
“Wouldn’t that be too much? I’m sorry a little bit. Ah, I’m just taking it from you for no reason.”
As the things Seoyoon ate so far popped into her head, she felt her eyes darken.
Because a considerable sense of indebtedness was pressing hard on my head.
No matter how much money Seoyoon has, her spending must not have been all that great…….
“I told you earlier, but you don’t have to be burdened at all, Mr. Seojun.”
“Still.”
“If you feel uncomfortable with Seo-joon like that…… Can you please do me one favor?”
“Please?”
“Yes.”
Seoyoon raised her head slightly and met her eyes with mine.
“I won’t say anything unreasonable about not getting hurt. I just hope you don’t act too hard.”
“Seo Yoon-ah… ….”
I gently grabbed the magic book.
I was only sorry for the many things I received from Seoyoon.
I want to pay it back somehow, but should I force myself to go to Adelin and ask her to get rid of Seoyoon’s telepathic ability?
“… ….”
“… ….”
Me and Seoyoon faced each other.
Oh, well. For some reason, the atmosphere seemed a little strange.
Seoyun glanced away. She could see that her cheeks were flushed red.
“Uh, that’s Seo Yoon-ah…… Anyway, thank you, I’ll write well.”
“Yes. Mr. Seojun.”
“I want to give you a present too…… Oh, is there anything you want from me?”
“What do you want?”
“Yes. I’ll do anything I can.”
“Ah… ….”
“Yoon Seo?”
Seoyoon wiggled her fingers as if hesitating for a moment.
What the hell are you asking?
