Episode 257
[Accomplished achievement of ‘Body Regeneration’]
[Acquired 3000 points as reward]
Over time, the broken arm returned to its original form.
I looked around at my arm. He moved his fingers and strengthened his body with little remaining mana
.
It is moving properly.
As if nothing had happened, he returned to his pre-injured form.
“…phew.”
I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to use my arms for the rest of my life, but I’m glad I did.
If I hadn’t gotten ‘super regenerative power’ with the Sungjeonbo in the past… just imagining it is terrifying.
By the way, I got an unexpected harvest in the process of breaking my arm.
Wouldn’t it be better to be injured than this?
I confirmed the characteristics acquired this time.
First, we checked the pain tolerance, which increased in grade.
[Pain Resistance (C)]
Classification: Trait
Description: Your body adapts to pain.
[Passive effect]
►Pain adaptation
Reduces the perceived pain by 25%.
Increases health regeneration rate by 15%
.
Perceived pain increased from 15% to 25%, and health recovery rate increased from 10% to 15%.
Although the grades of the three grades rose from C to C, the C grade itself was also a low grade,
so there was no significant increase.
“Next…
[Physical Immunity (C)]
Classification: Trait
Description: Your body’s ability to resist physical damage becomes stronger.
[Continuous Effect]
► Hard Skin
Stamina increases by 1.
Strength increases by 3.
Physical attack defense increases by 15%
.
physical resistance.
The effect is intuitive without complicated explanations as it is an adaptive characteristic. Increases
basic stats and defense by
15%.
Looking at the characteristic effect alone, it couldn’t be said to be such an outstanding characteristic… As I always said, it’s important that adaptive traits can be obtained for free.
This is a satisfactory enough result.
No, to the point where I regret trying to increase my adaptive traits even if I hurt myself like before.
“…But I got physical resistance later than I thought.”
Come to think of it, I’ve been through life and death battles several times over the past year, but I
‘ve never been seriously injured.
Although I had many experiences with minor injuries, this was the first time that a part of my body had been smashed.
…I should say I’ve been lucky so far.
In the future, such dangerous situations will increase more and more. You should be more careful.
“Ehh.”
With a sigh, he brushed off all his worries and confirmed the last characteristic.
It was the [1st stage runaway] obtained through the ‘Winning Report’ effect.
It is the most anticipated characteristic among the characteristics acquired today.
[Congestion Stage 1 (B)]
Classification: Characteristic
Description: Runs out of control in extreme situations. When certain conditions are met, the congestion level increases. As the level increases, the power increases, but the penalty also increases.
[Effect]
Can be activated in extreme situations.
When used, loses composure and increases all stats by 30%. All recovery abilities are also increased by 100%.
Super regeneration is always activated.
You lose the ability to finely control your magical powers. Instead, the efficiency of strengthening the body using magical powers increases by 50%.
After runaway, you will fall into a magical exhaustion for 24 hours.
*Duration: 10 minutes
“……Hmm.”
Were my expectations too high?
I felt a little ambiguous.
Of course, the ability itself wasn’t bad.
The benefits gained in exchange for losing composure and the ability to finely control mana are significant.
If a type like Lee Seo-joon gets runaway, he’ll become incredibly strong.
But not me. My main specialty is
‘expression system’.
When examining the contents of the runaway, the effect itself seemed to have many advantages for the ‘reinforcement system’.
In addition, it is said that it loses the ability to control sophisticated magical power, so it is highly likely that it will be a bad joke for me.
“What about the next step?”
According to the description of the characteristic, the higher the level, the higher the power.
Since this is the 1st stage, if I can reach the 2nd and 3rd stages, my melee ability after using Convergence might be stronger than when using ‘Expression System’
.
If the other demons started running out of control right away, they would become nearly twice as strong.
It’s not bad when you think about it that way. I’ll have to figure out how to step up slowly.
I removed the window in front of my eyes and stood up.
My body was as heavy as a rock due to the side effect of the mana elixir, magical exhaustion.
“Ah…
I opened the subspace and took out the ‘cup of life’. I took a bottle of water and drank it down.
At the same time, I felt that the fatigue remaining in my body was recovering a little bit.
“It is much better.”
…Then let’s get ready to go back soon.
It was very late.
Everyone must be suspicious since he hasn’t been seen for a long time since he said he was going to the bathroom. Well,
it seems that some kids have already noticed .
I’ll have to put an iron plate on my face.
I looked around and made sure no one was there, so I changed into Seonwoo Kim’s clothes.
As I changed my clothes, I heard footsteps in the distance.
Before long, a familiar face appeared in front of me.
“…Student Seonwoo?”
It was Han Se-yeon. My head was wet with sweat, probably from running around. I was
a little worried that something might have happened while the king was chasing the sword demon, but
luckily he didn’t seem to be hurt.
“I heard that Seojun Lee participated, but Seonwoo also participated.”
“…yes.”
I nodded slightly.
“Didn’t he get hurt or something?”
Han Se-yeon approached with a worried face. At that moment, without realizing it, my face hardened.
It’s because, in front of Han Se-yeon in the form of Kim Seon-woo, he always becomes more cautious than necessary.
And Han Se-yeon, noticing that I was being wary, stopped walking.
“That… I didn’t ask because I had another purpose, but I asked because I was genuinely curious to see if there were any injuries.”
Han Se-yeon said in a cautious tone. It wasn’t that he didn’t know that, so he nodded his head slightly.
“As you can see, I am fine. There are no injuries anywhere.”
Then, Han Se-yeon let out a sigh of relief.
“thank god. I received a call saying that wizards belonging to the association are currently undergoing training.
It’ll probably work out, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
I nodded slightly in response.
“Um…
At that time, Han Se-yeon called me. I looked at her again.
“…Just in case, did I ever do anything rude to student Seonwoo?”
I went blank for a while. If you ask me directly, it seems that my attitude was quite concerned.
“no. That’s…
As I paused, Han Se-yeon looked at me with curious eyes.
“…I get really nervous sometimes.”
“Are you nervous?”
Han Se-yeon seemed surprised by my answer.
“Anyway, Han Se-yeon… Hmmm.”
I almost said ‘Han Se-yeon’ without realizing it.
“I don’t have any ill feelings toward Han Se-yeon.”
That time when I was staring at Han Se-yeon. Footsteps were heard from behind.
“Chief!”
The security wizards belonging to Han Sung-ga appeared late.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Yes I am fine. More than that, others…
“We are dealing with the current situation. Fortunately, there are very few injuries.”
Han Se-yeon let out a sigh of relief.
I was quietly watching the conversation when a message alarm went off in my smart student notebook.
I immediately checked the message.
[Yoon Ha-young]
[Sunwoo, how is your arm? Right now I’m trying to sort it out somehow so the kids don’t suspect it? So don’t worry here, go to the hospital first!]
I smiled when I saw the message.
He’s doing something stupid again.
It says not to worry, but I’m worried that they’re using strange excuses.
Thanks to that, I think I should go back.
Then I felt a gaze and raised my head again.
Seyeon, who was having a conversation with the guards, was staring at me. However, there is something unusual about the expression.
Should I say surprised eyes? I don’t know why, but I bowed my head to her.
“Anyway, I’ll just go.”
The way I had to go was in the direction Han Se-yeon was standing, so I walked towards Han Se-yeon. The moment he passed her like that.
There was a sense of bustle in her.
I wondered why, so I turned around slightly.
Han Se-yeon was looking at me with round eyes.
Han Se-yeon stared blankly at the corridor where Seon-woo Kim, who had just passed her, disappeared.
My mind was complicated.
Kim Seon-woo smiled while looking down at his smart student notebook.
That smile was very similar to someone he knew.
I thought we looked alike a lot from before, but isn’t it too much to have the same smile…
‘No, even the smile is like that’
When Kim Seon-woo passed by her, the wind carried his scent slightly to her nose.
But is it an illusion?
The smell that emanated from Kim Seon-woo was quite similar to that of Kim Jin-woo.
Of course, it may be an illusion.
It was mixed with the smell of gunpowder coming from outside, and because of that, my sense of smell was paralyzed.
However, the relationship between Kim Seon-woo and Kim Jin-woo, which had disappeared for a while,
was reestablished in Han Se-yeon’s mind.
…Time passes.
The Mine raid incident, which caused great confusion, was all resolved with the mobilization of the association’s wizards.
Fortunately, an unidentified terrorist (?) caused confusion before Mine attacked, so the damage was not as great as expected.
There were no deaths among the general public, and
about 10 people were injured.
Considering that it was attacked by an S-class demon, this amount of damage could be said to be miraculous.
“By the way, where did Kim Seon-woo go? He doesn’t even answer the phone.”
And Lee Seo-joon and his party were looking for Kim Seon-woo, who disappeared at some point.
“You said it earlier. Seonwoo went to the bathroom.”
At Yoon Ha-young’s words, Shin Yeong-jun frowned.
“What kind of guy has been in the bathroom for over an hour?”
“You might be stuck in the bathroom suddenly because of the demons. Or maybe you got lost.”
“Does that make sense? And even in a maze, the one who desperately finds a way is lost?”
Yoon Ha-young kept her mouth shut when she couldn’t think of anything to refute.
“But the wizard with the hat I met earlier.”
Seoyoon Choi opened her mouth. The first to react was Lee Seo-joon.
“Isn’t his fighting style somewhat similar to that of senior Kim Seon-woo?”
“uh? that’s right! I felt it too. Their fighting styles were very similar. The sudden increase in speed and the use of the manifestation system for melee.”
Shin Yeongjun spoke in an excited voice. Then he turned his gaze to Lee Seo-joon.
“Did you feel it too?”
“…uh. I felt it too.”
This time, he turned his attention to Yoon Ha-young. Hayoung Yoon shook her head with a serious expression.
“…Yes? It’s not. Was it completely different?”
Shin Yeongjun ignored her and turned his attention to Lee Seojun again. Then he said with a playful laugh.
“Isn’t that Kim Seon-woo?”
Seojun Lee did not answer. I just look down at the floor with my eyes locked in thought.
At the bland reaction, Shin Young-joon tsk tsk. clicked tongue
Then, as if thinking of something,
he opened his mouth and spoke to Hayoung Yoon.
“Oh right. Also, I’m curious, what kind of magic was that magic you used earlier?”
Yoon Ha-young shrugged at the thought that something had come.
Mmm. How am I supposed to explain this? Should I explain everything?
“…so that’s my trait.”
At the word characteristic, everyone turned to a curious look.
“A characteristic? and. oh my god. When did you wake up?”
“It’s been a while. I recognized it from the beginning of last year, but it could have been a long time ago that I woke up…
“It’s amazing. What trait is that?”
“Ugh. It is difficult to explain in words, but you can think of it as an attribute that only people who are naturally born can acquire, like the attribute of light.”
“It’s an attribute…
Everyone remembered the magic Yun Ha-young used.
‘Arrow’, the form Yoon Ha-young used to use. However, it contained a foreign magic power that was not ice.
Certainly, this was close to a ‘property’.
Although it is not actually a power that is classified as an attribute.
“that’s interesting. But what properties? Will the destructive power increase?”
Shin Young-joon touched his chin and started reasoning.
“hmm. similar.”
“Then you are a double attribute?”
“…Ugh? Is that right?”
Shin Young-joon sent an envious gaze. Yoon Ha-young, feeling the pressure, possessed an awkward smile.
“Oh. Can you keep it a secret that I have these traits?”
Everyone nodded their heads at Yun Ha-young’s request.
“That’s not difficult.”
“I will keep it your secret.”
Wizards who hide their powers are very common.
That’s why they didn’t have any doubts about Yoon Ha-young’s request.
“lol. thank you.”
…while we were talking like that.
“uh? Seniors!”
Seoyoon Choi looked somewhere and shook her hands.
At the same time, everyone’s eyes turned to it.
Kim Seon-woo was walking towards the entrance of the stage. When I looked at the clothes, I didn’t see any signs of injury.
Shin Yeongjun crossed his arms and said dissatisfiedly.
“Kim Seon-woo. Where are you still _ 99
“Seonwoo! Why are you here?!”
At that time, Shin Young-jun cut off his words and Yoon Ha-young
ran to Kim Seon-woo.
Kim Seon-woo stared at Yoon Ha-young and smiled slightly.
“why? Can’t I stay here?”
“yes? No, that’s not the case…
Yoon Ha-young muttered to herself. Then, sneakily, I looked at Kim Seon-woo’s right arm. It was covered by clothes so I couldn’t see what condition it was in.
At that moment, Lee Seo-joon strode towards Kim Seon-woo.
“Where have you been?”
“I also dealt with mines outside. I also practiced
it.”
At Kim Seon-woo’s leisurely answer, Lee Seo-joon stared at his face.
Then he sighed and said.
“…Take a moment to roll up your collar and show me your arms.”
“Why’s the arm?”
“I have something to check.”
With those words, everyone’s eyes focused on Kim Seon-woo’s arm.
Seeing this, Kim Seon-wu sighed, and as if he couldn’t help it, he lifted his arms and
rolled up his collar.
“..r
One arm that is intact with no scars left.
Yoon Ha-yeong’s eyes were stained with shock as she looked at Kim Seon-woo.
Kim Seon-woo looked at her like that, then turned his gaze to Lee Seo-joon.
“Are you okay?”
Lee Seo-joon looked at Kim Seon-woo with complicated eyes.
