185 – Lee Soo-ah has changed?-2
‘Has it really changed?’
Seeing that Hwaryeon didn’t appear, it seemed that he didn’t use his mental abilities on me.
It was clear that Hwaryeon would jump out and attack Lee Soo-ah right away if he showed an aura that would interfere with my mind even a little bit.
“Where did everyone else go and are you the only one here?”
“Everyone said they were busy, so I came. Ha-yeon took me there and went right back to my city.”
“I see…”
I revealed my defenselessness to her by revealing that there were no other people around me, but she did not budge.
He didn’t even try to control me, his expression changed and he said, ‘Then you’re mine now!’ did not even cast
“For you…”
“By the way… Ah.”
The words got mixed up with each other.
Something like a cartoon happened.
We couldn’t say anything different and just looked at each other.
“Soohyun, tell me first!”
He was so embarrassed that he handed over the words to me, but that figure was not like Lee Soo-ah and was cute.
“Goddess work well…”
“Kyaaa!! Don’t say that!”
Suah Lee suddenly covered her face and rolled on the floor.
It doesn’t look like he’s upset or traumatized, it’s just that he’s ashamed… What the hell happened?
“What’s wrong all of a sudden?”
“Don’t call me a goddess! It’s a dark history!”
“…yes?”
The brain couldn’t process the information.
what is he talking about now? Obviously, the last time we met, she was a goddess. And I think Ha-yeon said she was a goddess too…
“After Suhyeon listened to your advice and stopped brainwashing me, my sanity slowly recovered. I am not a goddess, I am just an S-class Awakener, and I don’t need anyone to serve me. No matter how much I need to grow as an S-class Awakener, It had to come out of my good deeds or actions, not by brainwashing people…”
Has he really come to his senses?
I couldn’t help but stare at Lee Soo-ah with my mouth open at a completely different look from when we met before.
“You… have changed a lot?”
“Because I’m not a single person who only wants revenge anymore. I also created my own guild and I have to protect this city. I can’t live in the fantasy of being a goddess… ugh…”
It may be too early to judge properly, but Lee Soo-ah has definitely changed.
She was living the life of an ordinary S-class Awakener, as if she was clearly sane and did not say that she was a goddess.
“And because I thought that in order to be forgiven by you, I had to become a normal person myself. I don’t want to be remembered as an idiot who brainwashes me into wanting to stay close to my friends forever.”
“Then you don’t intend to brainwash me in the future?”
“Of course not. Friendship is not something that can be achieved through brainwashing or other nonsensical methods. It is something that can be obtained only when we share our feelings and approach each other with a sincere heart…”
Silence passed between the two of us.
“Ah. If Suhyeon says he doesn’t like you, I don’t want to force a friendship. Just, you can stay like now… keep your distance… don’t meet in another city…”
“Sua.”
“yes?”
“I’ll forgive you completely if you promise me one thing. And we’ll be friends again.”
“What… what?!”
Sua opened her eyes wide and looked at me.
“It will never go back to the way it was before. If you can keep the way you are now, we can continue to be close friends like before…”
Before I could finish my words, Sua quickly came out and hugged me.
“Okay! I’ll never change! I’ll stay the same now, so please…”
There was a lot of crying in Sua’s voice.
How heartbreaking must it have been?
I lost my best friend because of a mistake in the past, and tried to live my life as properly as possible in order to change my mind, and how long did I have to wait without coming to me first…
‘Yes, this is enough to forgive.’
“Okay. So, are we friends again?”
“yes!”
Sua hugged me tightly.
I felt a lot of pressure, but it was a pleasant hug that didn’t hurt too much and only conveyed the warmth.
“Whoa…”
In the space where it was just the two of Sua and me, I heard the sound of a third person.
Sua was startled by the heavy sound and fell away from me.
“who are you?”
“I have every thousand. Maybe we remember it as a sphere?”
“Ah… You were the one who liberated our city, right? And…”
“It’s also Unit 1.”
“yes…”
Sua looked at the Heavenly Demon with a very timid expression.
“I cannot forgive you. You dared to touch Ahae’s mind, so the punishment will not be repaid even in death.”
“sorry.”
“… But since Ahae says he forgives you, it’s not like I’m not the one to interfere…”
“then…”
“Yes, I will forgive you too.”
“thank you!”
Sua straightened her face and bowed her head to Hwaryeon.
“But keep in mind, I forgave you, but that doesn’t mean I’ve returned to my hatred for you. I still hate you, and there’s a good chance that this hatred won’t be resolved no matter what you do in the future.”
“Th… But, thank you so much for forgiving me.”
If Hwaryeoni forgives Sua, it means that Sua wasn’t behind the scenes.
The thought that my old friend had finally come to his senses put me at ease.
“Then, since the sub-story is over, let’s move on to the main topic.”
It was also quite cute how Hwaryeon treats the story between me and Sua as secondary.
Because it seemed like he was showing unnecessary jealousy.
“The main point?”
“There is something I want to ask you.”
“Yes, ask me anything.”
Unlike Hwaryeon’s harsh attitude, Sua’s tone was so clear that the gap between them was quite large.
‘They’re a duo that goes well together?’
I suddenly thought that if Sua hadn’t tried to dominate me, the three of us might have become really close friends like this.
“You are aware of the fact that those who have lived in the facility have weak awakening abilities, right?”
“Yes, I heard from Six.”
“I came here because I have something to ask you about that. Have any abilities other than your own been manifested since your natural awakening?”
“No? But why are you asking that?”
Sua asked Hwaryeon with a really innocent expression.
“I wanted to find out if our classmates’ awakening strengthened their existing abilities or awakened new abilities. I only came here because you are the person who probably knows the most about it.”
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen your face.”
After Sua put on a worried expression, she continued talking.
“I don’t know because I’ve awakened before I properly recognized my ability. But seeing that other abilities haven’t bloomed so far, isn’t it a way to strengthen the existing abilities?”
“I see.”
“Then why do you bother asking me that?”
“Didn’t I tell you earlier? You’re the only one who naturally awakened among your classmates…”
“Nope.”
Sua very proudly cut off Hwaryeon’s words.
“There are people who have awakened besides me.”
“How do we know who awakened?”
“You have no choice but to know? Heavenly Demon-nim has awakened. Since she is so much stronger than me, can’t you know her own awakening ability better?”
“ah…”
It was only after hearing Sua’s words that I realized that Hwaryeon was also a naturally awakened person.
Why did he leave Hwaryeon next to him alone and come to ask Sua?
I stood with my mouth wide open as if I had realized a tremendous fact, but Hwaryeon just shook her head and looked at Sua.
“That’s not possible. I was awake before the experiment went right.”
“Huh? Did you wake up from then?”
Sounds like a completely new story…
“Awakened when I was 5 years old. I was F-level at that time, but when I came out of the facility and decided to train, I soared to S-level at a rapid rate, and because of that, I felt free… Anyway, I awakened before the experiment in the first place, so the relevant information there is no
“That… I see.”
Sua shrank at Hwaryeon’s harsh tone.
“Then no one knows what will happen? First of all, we can only know that there is a high probability that the existing ability will be strengthened.”
“Very little success…”
“But why did you suddenly ask? Did you come up with a way to awaken artificially?”
“No, there is nothing like that.”
Hwaryeon said it clearly, but Sua narrowed her eyes as if she realized everything.
“Because the Heavenly Demon also likes Suhyeon, I believe that he will awaken her.”
“There is no way to artificially proceed with awakening.”
“Even without it.”
Sua smiled and smiled.
I thought Hwaryeon would have the absolute upper hand.
