#49. Love Beginner Cynthia and the Succubus
Academy 1st semester midterm exams are over.
And then several days passed.
It’s Saturday. It was a day to practice self-defense with Cynthia.
“That’s it for today!”
“I had a hard time….”
“You worked hard!”
Cynthia’s cheeks are burning red, and I want to search.
Self-defense is over.
‘… It’s finally over.’
I was exhausted and spread out on the floor.
Time skipped due to midterm exam preparation. The self-defense time, which was 1 hour, increased to 5 hours, saying that it would fill that time.
I must have missed number 2… Why 5 hours? In addition, it seems that there were unusually many movements that touched the body strangely today. Originally, self-defense was learned like that.
I don’t know. Anyway, it seems to fall behind.
‘I’m so enthusiastic after the midterm exam… Well, my grades went up that much. It’s strange that he’s not full of energy.’
Cynthia’s grades went up from 201st to 36th.
In a way, it was natural. Entrance exam, paper test, etc… This is because most of the tests taken so far were similar to the weight of one midterm exam.
But since she hit the jackpot in such a test, it was even more strange if the rankings didn’t rise much.
Scored close to the highest score on writing and practical skills.
She jumped 165 steps in one test.
If you measure only her midterm rankings, she was in third place.
At the end, it must have been a big score for her to push Ju Se-rin by using ‘Reflection Grafting’ and ‘Anything with Water’.
By the way, I didn’t know that 「The Temple of Heaven’s Scales」 Would be this good… I thought she might have a special ability because it’s a characteristic that even an observer can’t see closely… You’re crazy.’
I remembered what I found in an old book a while ago about the ‘pantheon’.
Through that, I found out two things.
「I studied the blessings of the stars. A special power that can be obtained by killing an unspecified target along with a brilliant meteor. That’s the blessing of the stars
After decades of research, I discovered the true identity of this power.
What we call the blessing of the stars is the power of the gods belonging to the pantheon. More precisely, it is a fragment of that power. 」
One is that the hidden piece Cynthia obtained is a fragment of a god.
「Among those who obtain the Divine Fragment, only a small percentage gain the ability to communicate with the Pantheon. Those who correspond to a small part are those who are qualified, and the conditions for qualifying are all different for each episode.
Those who are qualified can use the power of the gods indirectly by paying the price through fragments. 」
And the other is that the release of the god fragment was a process to ‘qualify’.
「This is what I found out. 」
In fact, most of the content was vague, so I couldn’t explain anything to Cynthia. Otherwise, it’s already useless information.
There is a lot of information, but nothing is helpful.
And the really important content was left out.
1) For what purpose does the Pantheon exist?
2) For what purpose did the gods belonging to the pantheon spread the fragments of the gods?
3) What are you trying to do by communicating with a qualified person?
There was no content for these three questions.
‘I’ll have to look for it later…’ What I’m thinking about right now is the price Cynthia paid for communicating with God through a piece of writing. Shall I ask?’
I don’t think Cynthia would have used the ‘Cheonuimubong’ without paying anything. She must have borrowed the power of God through communication.
Gradually, a lot of trust was built up, and I was able to explain why I knew Cynthia’s characteristics. It’s okay to pretend that you’ve acquired the characteristics of an observer.
“Shiya, can I ask you something?”
“Ask me anything!”
“In the second practical test of the midterm exam… Didn’t the scale pattern of the pantheon activate?”
“Yes. What about it?”
“Do you know how it got triggered? To be precise, about the activation conditions, the price, and the reward.”
I was going to ask just one, but somehow ended up asking three.
“Ah… Is that it?”
Cynthia slowly explained that it was not difficult to say.
The condition is “Intense desire”
It is said that the price will be different each time depending on the reward you get.
The reward is「 Blessing of Balance (lv.0)」
“…… This is it! For reference, the Blessing of Balance is a blessing that raises the level of other talents according to the most outstanding talent you have! It’s lv 0, so it doesn’t raise all talents, maybe two? How did you find out… As I was blessed, I came to know it automatically! Thanks to that, I can fully understand some of the ways to use power written in the book Cheonuimubong!”
“Aha… That’s how it happened. Isn’t the price much bigger than you think?”
You also received the Cheon Uimubong book. I thought I was taught separately after I passed out….
Anyway, most of my questions have been answered.
“I will! I never thought I would get such good abilities. Thanks to my brother! Lol….”
Big hmm… I wanted to be called oppa, but it’s awkward when I hear it. Maybe it’s because I’m called uncle every day.
“By the way, Shiaya.”
“Yes?”
“Aren’t you curious how I knew this?”
I thought Cynthia would ask how she knew about this information… She didn’t ask me a word at all, which made her questionable.
So I asked first.
“… Ah! That’s right! How did you know… ? You haven’t told anyone?”
“… ….”
It seems that Cynthia needs the blessing of wisdom.
***
Illien was so frustrated that he felt like dying.
Because her body was sealed?
Because you lost all your power?
Because the soul is bound to the pattern?
No.
– Shiaya… I think i will die….
Illien’s owner and friend, Cynthia.
She threw 100 of her sweet potatoes down Illien’s throat. No, it was because I was cramming 1000 of them.
“Huh? Why?”
Cynthia asked Illien in an innocent voice. At that question, Illien’s stomach was so stuffy that it almost exploded.
-How… How could this be!
“What… ? It’s a good day. Why?”
Cynthia could not understand Illien’s inner thoughts when he suddenly went wild.
She could understand everything though. Today, I trained in self-defense with Han Seong-jin, and tomorrow… We’re dating together!
In return for doing well on the test, Cynthia won a one-day ticket for her date, so it was possible.
-So… It’s mostly because of me!
“Yes. But why… ?”
-No, Shiaya. You should roll your head now too! I’m not dating, you’re doing it!
“That, right?”
-But why is there a soup restaurant during the date course?
“Because it’s cheap… ?”
-… ….
Illien was at a loss for words.
In the meantime, following Cynthia and gaining knowledge about Korean culture, she also had a lot of knowledge about dating.
And when I saw the date course Cynthia was planning, I felt frustrated and on the verge of going crazy.
It wasn’t once or twice that this happened.
– Shiaya. I also stopped you from going on a date on Saturday. Saturday is originally the day we meet Han Seong-jin.
“… Yes?”
Illien said Cynthia had scheduled her date for Saturday, so why did she suddenly do that?
After all, I meet Han Seong-jin on Saturdays.
Besides, can’t we use the excuse of falling in love last time to meet more time!
And while training her self-defense skills, there is a chance to make skinship with her naturally.
One of the natural events for a man and a woman to get close to each other almost just disappeared.
-And while I was doing self-defense, I naturally asked for skinship, so I did it, right?
“Yes. But why?”
– Why is that? Are you saying that now? Han Seong-jin is exhausted because you taught him too much! Originally, when you do skinship, a pink atmosphere should be formed! Uh! You taught me so passionately that I couldn’t even think of such a thing… !
“… I will tell you.”
Cynthia opened her eyes wide and said as if she didn’t know anything.
-I went to bed, tell me how….
Illien woke up late, and she heard the circumstances of her situation from Cynthia.
That was just a few minutes ago.
“Still, did I like it?”
-What would I do if I only like you… You have to seduce Han Seong-jin!
“Ah….”
-Let’s rewrite the date course tomorrow. Just do as I told you… I’m sure there will be good results. Listen carefully.
After taking a deep breath, Illien shook her head and said to Cynthia.
“Yes!”
Illien created a dating course for her by combining the love knowledge she gained from her demon world and the love knowledge she learned from TV dramas.
– How is it? Are you fine?
“Will this work… ?”
-It’s also on TV! You can believe it! Ruler. The dating course is like this! From now on, remember what I am saying! Because this is the point!
“Yes! I’ll just do it like this!”
Cynthia did not know.
Illien has accumulated her love knowledge through her TV drama… The dramas she usually watches are aired in the morning.
And that drama is called a dead end drama in the world.
