Episode 155 – Examination of the system, and requesting a date
A leisurely afternoon.
Sit on a bench bathed in the warm sunlight.
“I have nothing to do.”
Recently, I repeated special training every day without a day off, but all of a sudden, all fantasy artifacts were frozen today.
It’s like a regular inspection once every six months.
Besides, where are the fantasy artifacts in Star City?
It has an overwhelming amount that may reach hundreds or even thousands.
It is impossible to check all of those artifacts in one day.
“I will be free for the next three days.”
Of course, you can train without illusion artifacts.
You can go to the gym to train your stamina, and you can wield a sword even if it’s not sparring.
‘Actually, Scarlett was also taken away by a caring man while crying.’
By now, you must be shedding tears as you experience Sangnam’s full course in hell.
That’s why you should have run away like me.
But at least today is the weekend, so I have classes tomorrow.
You don’t have to waste your time leisurely.
Nyaang——.
Kkami appeared before she knew it and hit her head on her stomach as she rode on her thigh.
He casually strokes Kkami like that and blankly kills time.
I am, The Time Killer Han Si-woo….
As I stared into the air while thinking such stupid thoughts, I felt a familiar presence.
Infinitely deep and dark, but at the same time a cozy darkness.
I turned my head in the direction I felt the presence, as expected.
“Siwoo.”
Dina was standing.
Dina, who came up to me with frequent steps, asked insinuatingly.
“Can I sit down?”
“Yes.”
As soon as my permission was granted, Dinah slumped down in the seat next to her. But, something….
‘Isn’t it too close… ?’
Normally, sitting next to you doesn’t mean sitting close enough to touch your thighs….
But it’s not even a day or two that Dina goes on such eccentricities, so she’s starting to think that these days.
She smiled and looked at Dina stroking Kkami who was baking bread on her thighs. I felt a tickle in a corner of her chest, but she didn’t show it.
Besides, more than that, I’ve been feeling a lot of gratitude to Dina lately. How many times has Dina saved my life already?
In the past, when I was a kid who hadn’t even experienced combat yet, when I was kidnapped into a labyrinth, he was the first to come to rescue me.
Even in the fight against Pennheim, she was helped in what could have been dangerous.
How can I not feel grateful!
“Huh? What’s wrong, Siwoo?”
Kwok.
Her chest was pressed against her arm as Dina naturally brought her face closer this way.
How can I not feel this!
She shook her head to mean that nothing had happened, leaving behind a good feeling.
Everything that has happened to me lately has to do with Dina, but that didn’t need to be said.
Dina tilted her head in puzzlement, but I deftly turned her words around.
“Rather than that, look at this.”
He lifted her hand that had been touching Kkami so that the palm was facing up, trying to arouse her mana.
Crap.
“… ?”
Dina put her hand on top of mine and looked at me, blinking her eyes.
“… Wasn’t this?”
“Not really.”
Flinch! Dina, who trembled slightly, removed her hand that had been placed on it. She was okay with holding on for a little while longer….
She didn’t show any regrets and did what she wanted to do.
Her mana doesn’t stop at increasing physical abilities inside the body, but it protrudes outward, covers the skin, and hardens.
Is it some kind of self-defense?
In the meantime, I stupidly focused only on giving higher damage and neglected my attack power, so it became a glass cannon that would resume as it was after a little damage, but….
Now it’s about the size of a bulletproof glass cannon that makes you stronger than before!
Besides… You can also do this.
Let’s sharpen the blades and concentrate, and the sword skills are created along the blades.
‘Kwongi… Should I look at it?’
It can be used as a swordsman, but for now, it’s aimed at hitting.
Of course it’s quite useful, but it’s much weaker than wielding Durandal directly.
You can even summon Durandal at any time with the power of a paladin.
But why did you learn this?
‘Because I need it anyway.’
I desperately learned from being beaten by Siwoo Han and sparring countless times with Stia.
Just because it’s a battle with a sword, it’s not really just using a sword.
Reach out your hand to block your vision, and kick your shin with your foot to throw the opponent off balance.
You can hit the back of the opponent’s hand with the handle of the sword to make them let go of the sword, or simply dig into gaps and strike.
Kwonjuk is a kind of device that can create variables during battle and increase the chances of victory even a little.
What we do is a fight to the death, not a sword fight.
So, recently, I’ve been learning not only swordsmanship, but also martial arts from Stia and Ifelsar.
‘I tried to learn from a caring man, but….’
Actually, he doesn’t have any special skills.
Overwhelming body physique and combat sense close to instinctive movements.
So the only thing I could learn from a caring man was a fitness routine.
And now, this skill that Dina is demonstrating is something she is learning from her.
Of course, Dina is a wizard and I am a swordsman. Although the genre is different….
Dina has an overwhelmingly genius talent for handling her magical powers.
And based on her talent and analytical ability, the two of them researched together and created the form of self-defense that suits me best.
I gave this self-defense device the name Dina Armor to express my gratitude towards Dina.
The color is also a beautiful purple like Dina’s eyes, so it goes well with her!
I showed Dina the armor and boasted.
“Is it better?”
“Oh… That’s right. It is more sophisticated than before and the development speed is faster. It would have to be twice as fast to use it in real combat.”
“Okay…. It is, but.”
Certainly, this skill wasn’t easy, so it wasn’t something that could be done as easily as using the skill.
‘Actually, I also got it through a skill, and if I wanted to, I could use it with a skill, but….’
It doesn’t. Didn’t you really learn from Siwoo Han?
They say the status window stagnates our growth.
The skills registered in the status window are really ‘saved’, and when you use the skill, you use the saved skill.
Mechanically. Without even trying to go further.
If you try to wield it stronger, even if it’s a skill, you can become stronger….
‘It doesn’t get any more sophisticated.’
If you use skills, you can put them into practice much faster than directly acquiring them, but it becomes impossible to reach a higher level.
Is it the difference between a mass-produced product produced in a factory and a handmade product made by artisans?
If you carve difficult techniques directly into your body and fine-tune them more elaborately, the day will come when you will overcome the system someday, even if it is slow now.
And that’s also the key to defeating evil spirits.
So, the first thing I did after returning to Star City was to learn the skills I had been using as skills.
I made it possible to do spears, serines, shadow manipulation, and magical explosions only with my own power, not skills.
In the case of Swordsmanship, which has already become a title, and passive skills such as Super Concentration and Regeneration, it was as if I had quantified my body’s talents as skills in the first place.
Of course, there are skills that I can’t use no matter how hard I try. In the first place, in reality, it is a power that cannot be acquired by human power alone.
‘I can’t copy.’
In the end, this has no choice but to borrow the power of the system.
In the first place, the system was the power that came with the blessing of the stars given by the goddess.
Like the system, it is a power that was only borrowed.
Of course, I refrain from using this power as much as possible.
If you rely too much on this fraudulent ability, your growth will be slow, and you won’t be able to stand up on your own at the critical moment.
Copying is always a last resort. What I should aim for is to gain the strength to stand up to the demon lord and evil spirits with my own strength.
Dina As she changed the shape of her armor and joked around, Dina clapped her hands with a bright smile.
“Wow!”
I felt like I had become great for a moment and I was proud, but soon after, Dina copied me and made something even greater, so I quickly lost my temper.
FYI, unlike me, Stia had already thrown off her system a long time ago and was growing on her own.
When I asked, did you say it was only used to roughly measure someone else’s strength?
He says he’s not even doing that because it’s annoying these days.
I’m steadily getting stronger, but I thought that the real monsters were Dina and Stia.
Like that, I passed the time with Dina by touching Kkami for a while.
But the sun still shines in the middle of the sky, and time has not flowed filthyly.
“If you don’t mind.”
I was staring blankly at the clouds wondering what I should do now, and then Dina suddenly asked.
