52 – Great Forest-6
What if I wake up? Even now, as a non-awakened person, he is a person who easily catches D-class monsters, so even if he is only C-rank, would he still be able to catch A-rank monsters?
I don’t think so. The strength I have accumulated is the strength I created in order to somehow survive without magical powers.
Against the Awakener, he slowly cuts down his magic power and puts a finishing blow, and against the monster, he attacks his weakness based on his knowledge.
The reason this was possible was because there was a dagger that could cut the Awakener’s magic and pierce the monster’s skin.
I’m not denigrating my skills, but I wouldn’t be able to do this without the dagger.
Even if you don’t have to go to Hayeon or Yeonha, even an ordinary A-class awakened person can easily catch a D-class monster without magic if you wear the same equipment as me.
So, even if I were to awaken as a Class A Awakener right now, would I be any better than the existing Class A Awakener?
Before I get used to the awakened powers, I will of course be pushed back by the existing awakened ones, and even if I get used to my powers, it will just end on the line of being good at fighting.
Because I am infinitely ignorant of the mana that the Awakeners deal with.
“Do you want to awaken your brother too?”
I was awakened by the sound of a young man next to me.
“uh?”
“They said, “I want to become stronger all of a sudden.”
He’s so quick-witted, did you notice that?
Or am I being too obvious? Because it seems like I was thinking about things for 3 seconds.
“Of course I want to awaken. Even if I become a D-class Awakener, I can be of great help to you.”
Ha-yeon, who was on the left, shook her head slightly and said.
“I can’t imagine that my brother is a Class D Awakener.”
“Isn’t it? What kind of awakening am I talking about?”
“No. I can’t imagine my older brother who will only end up in D-class. With my brother’s talent, even if he awakens to F-rank, he will rise to S-rank in no time.”
Ha-yeon’s eyes, full of confidence, were looking at me, so I averted my gaze without realizing it.
“Awakening is luck, but rising to a higher rank after awakening is an area of talent and effort. I don’t think my brother will ever end up at the level of a lower awakener.”
Why do I say so confidently that I’m good at something?
And if you don’t wake up in the first place, there’s no way to prove what Ha-yeon said.
“Once you wake up, that is.”
Did I say it too darkly? Both sisters fell silent at my lamentable words.
What do we do? I think I broke the atmosphere that was quite enjoyable too quickly?
Let’s raise the tension.
“It’s okay, brother, you don’t have to wake up.”
Maybe it’s because the tension hasn’t fully recovered, but the atmosphere hasn’t recovered yet.
“I heard rumors that there is an institution researching artificial awakening in the city beyond the Great Forest. Shall we take it?”
My steps slowed down and stopped. The tension that had been forcibly raised dropped.
Even though I tried to calm down, my heart was beating and my expression hardened on its own.
“Brother, why are you like that?”
“Nothing.”
Yeah, my childhood wasn’t like a dream. It actually happened in the past, and the facility I lived in as a child must exist somewhere on the Korean Peninsula.
And number 97, Lee Soo-ah, who gave me a name, must be alive somewhere.
Maybe the day will come when we meet again

No, to be honest, the reason I followed the great forest was because I thought I might be able to meet her.
Because I couldn’t think of the only existence that could sound an alarm bell to my instincts.
What is certain is that the time has come to prepare for it.
How will I behave when I meet her, how will I fight against her ability.
Even if all the plans I made were useless because I couldn’t meet Lee Soo-ah in my life, it was something I had to prepare for.
“I’m not interested in things like artificial awakening.”
Because my nerves were sharp, my tone came out coldly without my knowledge.
There was no time to raise the tension.
I’m sorry to the kids, but I had no choice but to ask them to understand.
Because I wasn’t in a situation where I couldn’t control my emotions.
‘Shall I change?’
‘No, it’s still fine.’
So far, I’ve been okay with not having another help from me. ‘Cause I’m fine enough because i’m fine
“Then… Shall we begin the investigation in earnest?”
“OK.”
The investigation was more than I thought.
It was just Ha-yeon’s ability to move around and explore the surroundings with her younger’s ability.
I came as a spectator rather than to help, so there was nothing to do.
At first, the planting was not so good.
Still, with Ha-yeon’s ability to teleport here and there, and seeing the twinkle of younger body, my heart gradually loosened up.
Maybe I’m a simpler person than I thought?
“Can’t you see anyone in particular?”
“But didn’t you come to search because the monsters were quiet?
“The Great Forest is huge, so the ecosystem is well-organized. Temporary changes are always made within the range of calculation. But if the monsters suddenly become quiet, it’s only a story that they got on the hands of people.”
Is it like that?
In the first place, I didn’t even think that there would be an ecosystem in the great forest.
Well, it’s not the monsters that just came out of the gate, but the monsters living quietly in the great forest might not be very different from animals.
“First of all, the number of monsters has definitely decreased. It will take some time to properly analyze it, but it doesn’t look like it was swept away by a huge force.”
“Can you analyze that too?”
“Yes, usually when a High Awakener goes wild, all the monsters in a certain area disappear and the outer ecosystem itself is greatly shaken. But the overall population has decreased, but that doesn’t mean the ratio has broken too much, right? I can’t be sure because it’s not the case, but I guess a lot of the lowest-ranking prey died. Monsters located at the top-ranking predators seem to have less population decline than other monsters.”
You look so smart!
I forcibly raised the tension and stroked the younger’s head.
It seemed that his mind had calmed down and his usual level of tension had recovered.
“Isn’t that great?”
“This is common sense.”
Seeing the younger smiling bashfully, I felt that my sharp mind had calmed down to some extent.
“You mean you’re an idiot with no common sense?”
“Yes!!”
“this!!”
Ha-yeon raised her fist as if she was about to hit her at the younger sister’s playful answer, but her younger sister quickly hid behind me.
Being small is helpful in this case, but no matter what you do, the angle doesn’t come out.
“Oops!! It hurts!”
“I never hit you?”
Could it be that he even used his authority to hit him?
Awakeners are even doing a great sisterly fight.
“Boo… Anyway, I don’t think we’ll get a lot of income from further investigation right now. Daesanrim is a very rough place, so even if you clean it up properly, there will be almost no traces of people passing through. Rather than following the traces and investigating , I think it would be better to track the distribution of monsters that change every day.”
“Is that okay?”
“Yes, that’s fine. I’m clear.”
Are you proud of yourself?
You can say things like that because you have that kind of ability.
“Okay, can I leave the analysis up to you? Is your sister doing nothing and relaxing?”
“Yes, it seems like it will take a lot of time to analyze, but you can ask the guild leader for compensation for the additional work.”
