I Found the Regressor With My Reflexes

13 – People

Strange people.

He thought that way from the first time he saw Nam Hyun-woo.

… In fact, it still is.

To be honest, he was someone I didn’t know.

In spite of the worst first meeting, he doesn’t harbor any hostility and fearlessly pulls a prank on us.

Doesn’t he pass it off casually even if he says bloody things?

… Is it indifferent, or is it a big person.

If you had seen it in the previous episode, you would have been able to understand it, but it wasn’t so, so it was difficult.

Why the hell wasn’t there the last episode?

I couldn’t understand what he did in the ordeal.

To add a little exaggeration, it was like someone born to climb the tower.

As well as the idea of feeding goblins by putting them on a leash or using Snow White to rule them.

He was also learning room swordsmanship skills.

Swordsmanship is a skill that can only be acquired by mastering both swordsmanship and shieldmanship….

From the moment he acquired it by himself, his talent was undoubtedly at the top.

It’s my first time handling weapons, so it’s a bit creaky, but with a little help, I’ll grow up quickly.

In addition to that, superpowers are useful, needless to say, and they already handle mana.

If colleagues from the past had seen Nam Hyeon-woo now, they would have thought that this person is a regressor—.

… Anyway.

Nam Hyeon-woo was a strange and unpredictable person to the point of even thinking about such nonsensical things.

Isn’t everything going wrong once you get involved with him in the first place?

As well as Gobrick’s runaway, and the special dungeon on the first floor that I’ve never heard of.

I even brought a key to unlock some of my restrictions as a reward for a special dungeon.

… Anyway, looking at the cloak that doesn’t fit, it’s clear that the key is the ‘wanted’ reward.

What on earth did you want to get such a reward?

Is it arrogance that arose because he had never felt that his strength was insufficient?

Or am I just stupidly nice?

Maybe….

… Anyway, he eased my constraints of his own will.

The mana that fills the body and the body that becomes stronger proves him.

With this alone, he showed enough trust.

So… Now it was my turn to answer him.

It seemed that it wasn’t just the restrictions on power that had just been alleviated.

There were many things I could teach you.

Maybe.

Enough.

* * *

It seems that things are slowly coming to an end.

If the regressor regains his strength with this, it will be a little easier in the future.

‘There won’t be anything like Gobrick.’

By the way, how strong do you think you got?

Since we waited with half expectation and half worry, soon the torrent of magical power calmed down and Han Seo-yeon opened her eyes.

Her eyes, which had a kindly pleasing light, were a surprisingly mysterious golden light.

A question arose from the unusual appearance.

“What’s wrong with your eyes?”

“Eyes? Ah. Under the influence of magic.”

“Aha.”

I’m talking casually.

I don’t think such golden eyes are common….

Well, he’s a regressor.

Convinced of the boring answer with magic words, I decided to focus on the effect of the key again.

I looked at it eagerly with expectant eyes, and Han Seo-yeon smiled and started explaining.

“First of all, my stats haven’t risen significantly.”

Then I got up and started walking, so I followed her as she explained.

“It’s just that as the stat limit was lifted, the stats that hadn’t risen in the past increased.”

“That’s a bit disappointing.”

“Still, it’s a meaningful figure.”

I’m glad then.

How much is a significant number?

Since I’m not used to the tower yet, I’m curious, so Han Seo-yeon notices if it’s obvious.

“Can’t you see?”

“What…isn’t it?”

“I’ll just show you later.”

“Oh, that’s nice.”

But Seoyeon Han seems to be in a good mood, she seems to have become kinder.

… Hmm.

“But where are we going now?”

She walked away and she followed casually.

“The training ground.”

“A training ground?”

“Yes, there are many things I want to tell you.”

Han Seo-yeon smiled while saying that.

When she saw that bright smile, she quickly drew the sword from her waist.

“Who are you…!”

“Huh?”

She was the rare one who put on a puzzled expression, but I wasn’t fooled.

“Han Seo-yeon can’t be this kind!”

“…It sucks.”

Oh.

– Serung.

The reaction of pulling out the sword straight away was very familiar.

“It’s noisy and follows me. Or let me check it myself?”

“…You know it was a joke, right?”

“Whoa…”

Still, it’s relieved to have a nervous expression again.

This is how Han Seo-yeon is, and she is a regressor.

She wondered if she was possessed by something sealed in the padlock, but it seems she wasn’t.

It seems that her mind was excited thanks to the release of the restrictions on her power.

So what? She’s lucky

Has Han Seo-yeon also known my intentions?

It was still a puzzled expression, but it wasn’t angry anymore.

“Come quickly. I’ll be busy trying to learn before everyone else arrives.”

“What are you going to teach me in two days?”

“Mana Sim Law and Runes.”

Manasim method? Rune?

I think I know roughly what both of them are….

The former is because this is inside the tower, but the latter was a bit strange.

“But aren’t runes from Earth mythology?”

“Surprisingly, it actually has magical powers.”

“Really!?”

“Yes. Maybe the old Earth had magical powers.”

“Huh.”

That’s amazing.

Suddenly, I was awakened to knowledge I had never imagined.

“However, the runes themselves are not very efficient, so I’ll focus on mana psychics first.”

“What else is that?”

“A magical operation method dedicated to cutting that was developed by people crazy about cutting.”

“Oh.”

I can’t wait to hear the explanation.

“But can I not call Seol-i?”

“….”

Suddenly, I thought of it and said it.

Han Seo-yeon suddenly stopped.

I thought I was going to pick up Seol-i.

“Don’t worry about Snow White.”

Haven’t you started walking again after saying that?

What is it?

“Everything you learn from me is for melee occupations as well. Snow White will be busy anyway.”

“What…ah, maybe because of that book?”

“Uh.”

A book that Seol-i was reluctant to talk about and Han Seo-yeon was evasive about, so she couldn’t ask about it.

I sent him to the appraisal center according to the situation, but Seol seemed to know something….

‘It bothers me.’

Is there a book that can be hidden by one’s will?

Enchant Magic? Or brainwashing magic?

No, isn’t that what Seoyeon Han didn’t tell you?

… I was a little worried, but I decided to trust Han Seo-yeon and Seol-i and wait.

Although there was a way to force it with a command. I didn’t really want to do that.

Even if it was Seol-i’s attack at first.

If you start giving orders in the current relationship, you will have to rely on orders for cooperation with Seol in the future.

Such a twisted relationship was really undesirable.

“I have arrived.”

“Oh.”

As I thought so, before I knew it, Han Seo-yeon informed me of her arrival.

When I looked up, I saw a well-organized vacant lot.

All kinds of weapons were placed in the corner, and there was a building that looked like a gym on the other side.

A space that seems to have been created for training.

I wanted to take a look, but Seoyeon Han didn’t give me the time to do so, perhaps because she was really in a hurry.

“Sit here for now.”

“Preload.”

“…Then I will teach you the Mana Sim method from now on.”

As she said, Seoyeon Han put her hand on her back and started injecting her magic power.

“Hmm, I’m looking forward to it.”

“You can look forward to it. Now, just be quiet and pay attention.”

Um.

At Seoyeon Han’s words, I quietly focused my senses in his body.

Is there really some kind of effect? As the senses around him gradually faded—the world soon fell silent.

“The tower after that will certainly not be easy.”

At that time.

“As I said before, please take good care of me from now on.”

It seemed like I could hear Han Seo-yeon’s voice faintly.

I’ve heard it before, but it’s a more benevolent voice than back then.

However, I wasn’t sure if I heard it properly because I was concentrating on his magic.

Well, I don’t even know why Seoyeon Han would say that… Judging from the timing of what he said, it doesn’t seem like he was telling me to listen.

I decided to think it was just a euphoria that I heard because I lacked concentration.

Thankfully, the flow of magical energy wriggling inside my body helped me to easily ignore the sounds outside.

[You have acquired the Mana Sim Law-Che (F).]

Even after the Simbeop training was over, Seoyeon Han didn’t say much.

Since it was quick to learn, she just suggested sparring while focusing on mana psychics instead of runes.

I obediently followed his words.

… To be honest, I wanted to take a break.

[Swordsmanship (F) -＞ Swordsmanship (E)]

I trained with gritted teeth thinking that it would be better to roll now than to die in the tower.

Han Seo-yeon must be preparing for such a case… Ji?

Anyway, that’s how time goes by.

The time has finally come for the ordeal to end.

After washing in the shower room attached to the training room, we were waiting to greet the people who would come soon.

Seol-i, whom I hadn’t seen before, was sitting next to me, making a slightly worried expression.

Are you worried about the life or death of the people you said you moved with?

It’s me. I haven’t met anyone, so there’s no one I really want to live with.

Personally, I hope that more moral people will come up.

Sometimes in novels, only criminals survive.

… Then you’ll have to think about what to do.

Well, we’ll soon find out who’s coming.

[The trial has ended.]

With a notification that finally appeared.

– Paaah.

A bright light appeared where we appeared, and shadows of people began to be seen within it.

But.

“Kill it!!!”

“Stop!!!”

… Why are these people fighting?
