How the Psionic Prince Overcomes Reversal and Obsession

chapter 5



5 – Psionics Buff (1)

For now, I decided to put aside everything about Peria and focus on the selection ceremony for escort knights.

It was the point where the knights were turning into puzzled faces when I didn’t say anything.

‘Let’s think about what to do with Peria. Take care of things right in front of you… .’

Taking my eyes off her, I glanced over the rest of the articles.

One escort knight dedicated to the princess and the prince in the first year.

A total of four people are assigned by selecting another person the following year and two people the following year.

Of course, in the case of the crown princess, she was assigned far more than that.

‘Among them, I can only pick one person this year.’

Since it is an individual escort knight, the selection is left to the escort party.

But that doesn’t mean you can neglect your skills.

The girls gathered here were those who passed the internal evaluation of the Knights with excellent grades.

“Since it’s my escort knight, it won’t be a problem if I choose it the way I prefer. Does everyone agree to this?”

“”four!””

One answer was good, but I feel a bit unreliable because I witnessed the release earlier.

“The test method will evaluate how well I handle my psionic buff.”

Instead of losing mana 300 years ago, some men have awakened psionic energy.

When awakened like this, each of them gains one of their own characteristic abilities.

Here, ‘Psionic Buff’ is… … It was a skill to share that ability with others.

If the buffed person uses a psionic skill, the burden is passed on to the original psionic practitioner.

‘The more buffs are given, the more the psionic magician needs enormous mental power.’

In my case, it was telekinesis.

Actually, it’s not that unique ability.

It’s a fairly popular ability that can be found occasionally among psionic magicians.

‘It’s too early to be disappointed. The type of ability is important, of course, but more importantly… .’

The root of ability management is ultimately human.

Depending on the individual’s mental strength, technique, and direction of the ego, which can be said to be a container for psionic energy, the development is divided into many different ways.

It was me who had reached the top of the Sky Tower after going through countless quenching in which the vessel of the soul was broken, broken, and restored in the last episode.

‘Now I don’t know how to define my abilities… .’

I smiled bitterly thinking about the last episode.

Anyway, for now, I should focus on the selection test right in front of me.

I instructed the knights in front of me.

“Then let’s come forward one by one.”

“four!”

I asked the knight who knelt on one knee with me first.

“You?”

“My name is Amy, a knight belonging to the 2nd Imperial Knights!”

“Sir Amy, please take care of me.”

“Woah, it’s an honor… .”

She bowed her head in a trembling voice.

I lightly stretched out my hand toward that knight, Amy.

Woo woo-. My psionic energy reached her and lightly connected each other.

Now, the knight in front of me can draw my psionic energy and manipulate it with telekinetic power according to his will.

Of course, I, the host and psionic practitioner, had to fully bear the burden.

“This, this… !”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Knight Amy trembled with a thrilled face.

I looked down at her and smiled.

“You must have already experienced a lot of buffs through the psionic magicians in the imperial palace. Too much fuss.”

“No, never! Not so! This gloomy feeling is—”

“Yes, yes, I became flattery.”

“… … .”

In the early days of Bing, I reacted to each and every word and my heart was excited.

However, if you add the previous episode, it has already been more than ten years since you have been living as a member of the royal family.

It’s embarrassing to react seriously to each and every flattery.

“That… I really… .”

I let her words go through one ear and snapped my fingers behind me.

damn At my signal, the attendant who was waiting put the longswords on the table.

Soon, psionic waves flow and the seven swords escape from their scabbards and rise into the air.

The floating swords moved to the other side as if confronting the knight Amy.

“indeed… .”

Amy grinned and grabbed the hilt of the sword.

Anyone can guess the intention of the test by looking at the sight in front of them.

The waiting knights, including Amy, smiled confidently.

They had to fight seven swords, but they were knights who had sharpened their swords professionally, and that was enough to be selected for the Imperial Knights.

‘I can easily deal with this much, I guess.’

But it’s still too early to like it.

“From now on, deal with the seven swords in front of you.”

“All right!”

“And… .”

“… ?”

“At the same time, use your telekinesis to make tea for me and serve it.”

“… Yes?”

Everyone looks at them with faces wondering what this is all about.

“Why do you think I gave you the telekinesis psionic buff?”

“That, like that… .”

Fluffy… .

The teapot on one table rises into the air and pours tea into the cup.

Soon, the teacup in the teacup saucer moved through the air, flew into the air in front of my chest, and stopped.

Click.

I picked up the teacup, savored the scent, and explained to the surprised-looking knights.

“You could say that telekinesis is a kind of invisible hand. You, as my escort knights, must skillfully handle telekinesis through multitasking while dealing with enemies in front of me.”

“… … .”

“If you want to become your escort knight, of course, the top priority is to have someone who can skillfully use the psionic buff.”

The knights turned to the person next to them and nodded.

“Wow, sure… .”

“If it’s the prince’s escort knight… .”

“We can’t waste the resources we already have.”

I haven’t told anyone yet, but I plan to use the escort knight selected today as a sort of ‘psionic relay’ that relays and projects my powers throughout the battlefield.

For that reason, I needed someone who was good at handling my buffs.

I said to Amy with a puzzled face.

“Come on, Sir Amy. Now, fight the seven swords in front of you and at the same time manipulate the tea set with telekinesis to make tea.”

“That, that… .”

“By the way, I will taste the tea you brew.”

Amy’s eyes wander in dismay at the sword and teapot set in the air.

Such a test seems unimaginable.

Well, who would have known that

“Let’s start.”

Sussuk-.

“Ah, ah!”

Chaeeng-!

Seven swords swung sharply.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Knight Amy hurriedly struck it with her sword even in the midst of confusion.

Chaeng, Chaeng!

The metallic sound of swords colliding echoed in front of the palace.

“Sir Amy. The teapot is playing.”

“Ugh… !”

She gritted her teeth and began to activate her telekinesis.

Soon, my psionic energy flows into her and manifests as a form of telekinesis.

However, the energy it took from me was not that great.

‘Because it’s a test that focuses on examining the quality of control rather than output in the first place.’

It’s a lack of output, but it can be supplemented as much as you like later.

Catch up!

In a situation where loud swordsman rings out.

Dalgrak. Dalgrak.

The tea utensils placed on the table floated in the air, trembling with telekinesis.

Then he started preparing to brew tea.

‘It’s a mess.’

However, the appearance could not be said to be skillful even in empty words.

The tea leaves floated up and some spilled onto the table.

In addition, it was common to pour water into the teapot and spill it here and there.

‘Tsk tsk… .’

Chaeng, Chaeng Chaeng!

In the meantime, being busy dealing with the seven swords is a bonus.

Even if it looks simple on the outside, if you are not accustomed to multitasking, your mental strength and physical strength will be consumed enormously.

“Ugh, ugh… .”

In the end, while dealing with the seven swords, a situation occurred in which the control was lost while manipulating the teapot.

Clink-!!

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Knight Amy stopped with a depressed face.

She stared blankly at the teapot, which had fallen to the ground and had been smashed to pieces.

I cheered her up when she was crying.

“Since you are the first to be evaluated, I understand that you are embarrassed and disadvantaged in many ways. With that in mind, I will give you one last chance.”

“Go, thank you!”

.

.

.

after a while

After going through a process that could never be said to be smooth, the cup of tea brewed with telekinetic power was prepared in front of me.

“Heh heh… Ugh… !”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Knight Amy looked as if she had been to a battlefield.

His whole body was drenched in sweat and he was breathing heavily.

It means that the mental and physical strength was considerable.

Her face was such that even empty words could not be said to be good.

If you have eyes, you will feel that the evaluation will never be good.

‘where… .’

I reached for the tea she brewed.

It was then.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Knight Amy hurriedly shouted with a determined face.

“Woe, Prince! I will stop abstaining!”

“Well?”

I looked back at her with a puzzled face.

“Are you going to leave it here?”

“Th-I can’t dirty the prince’s mouth with such a messed up car! Please forgive me!”

indeed. did you mean that

“no. Your abstention cannot be permitted.”

“Yes?”

I stared at the teacup placed in front of me.

It was a dirty teacup with tea leaves and dust.

It contained tea water that could never be said to be clear.

I raised the teacup and said to Amy and the other knights.

“Aren’t you the ones who volunteered for this position with the determination to protect yourself? I know how you feel, so how can I disparage your efforts?”

“… … .”

“I will definitely taste all the tea you brewed for me today. Because that would be the natural and right thing to do.”

“… … .”

A heavy silence fell between them, including Amy.

gulp… gulp… .

I slowly emptied the tea, thinking that if I did something with the tea leaves, it would taste like this.

Click.

I emptied the teacup and looked back at Amy, the knight who had prepared it for me.

“Sir Amy. I have tasted your sincerity. Return to the ranks and await the final evaluation.”

“Wow, Prince… sir… . hehehe… .”

Could it be that he collapsed with a strong intuition that he had already been eliminated?

Shedding tears as if resentful, she bowed and returned to the waiting knights.

“Let the next article come out.”

“I’m out… .”

“… … .”

I inadvertently hardened my face when I saw the article that came forward.

Coincidentally, the second article that came out was that Peria.

A seed that will later sell its soul to the devil and betray humanity.

“… … .”

I was silent for a while, thinking about what to do.

‘First… Let’s skip this test roughly and send it out.’

I’ll have to get someone else to keep an eye on it later.

At this point, she has not committed a crime, so she cannot be punished right away.

“Sir Peria. Then let’s begin.”

“Yes, four!”

Soon, the seven swords moved and her test began.

Cheng, Cheng—!

A loud sword rang out.

While manipulating the sword with telekinesis, I began to think about who should be entrusted with the surveillance mission.

It was then.

“Five… .”

“It’s quite… .”

Suddenly realizing that the atmosphere had become strange, I got out of my thoughts and looked in front of me.

‘What is this?’

Chaeng, Chaeng, Chaeng-!

Peria is… … While dealing with 7 swords, at the same time, he was skillfully brewing tea with the psychokinetic power I had lent him.

Dalgrak. Dalgrak.

The tea leaves float up in the air and fit neatly into the teapot.

profit.

The process of igniting the ignition stone with telekinesis was also quick and accurate.

Squeak-.

The teapot gently pours the tea at the right height and at the right angle.

‘no… Why are you fussing about doing good for nothing?’

I’m going to drop you… .

Click. After a while, I skillfully manipulated feria telekinesis and placed a teacup filled with tea in front of me.

“Wow, Prince. please… .”

“… … .”

With a confused face, I lifted the teacup and tasted it.

Unfortunately, the tea tasted very good.

I forcibly opened my mouth to speak.

“Not bad… … … It’s not.”

“Go, thank you!”

If you do well like this, you will be eliminated… .

It was a situation where the imperial prince had declared the evaluation standard a while ago.

Failure to do so may result in gossip or other embarrassing situations.

‘Not yet… … are you okay. Among the other knights, there must be at least one or two more skilled than Peria.’

.

.

.

But as the knights came and went and time passed, my face grew more serious.

‘I think it’s fucked up?’

It seems that I will make the traitor of humanity (planned) an escort knight.
