chapter 10
10 – Episode 10 Academy The Law of Possession.(3)
When reading novels, it is said that those who have reached a certain level feel a kind of futility and fall into loneliness.
Actually, I didn’t quite understand that.
It’s good to count. What do you mean, you’re in trouble because you have something to regret?
However, when I reached the distant realm myself, I knew it.
As expected, a strange sense of helplessness and exhaustion dominated me when I stood on a high level.
It was nostalgia for the pitiful self of the past, and at the same time, it was the futility of realizing that a higher level awaited after surpassing the goal.
10Kg
After lifting the 5kg dumbbell, the enemy of my shoulder, I challenged myself with a new formidable enemy that I could not overcome yet because it was so powerful.
It’s been a week since I started a grueling gym.
I reached the point where I could exercise with a weight ten times my original limit, but I was in despair at the appearance of a new opponent.
It was an achievement obtained by pouring everything into a week of training to go from a patient who needed rehabilitation treatment to a weak average person.
Of course, I didn’t just train with dumbbells, I did all the exercises related to basic physical strength, such as treadmills, squats and planks.
Now I have finally obtained a body that can fight goblins.
It was real shit.
At the end of the four days, it was so fucking fucked up that I used the reinforcement for mental strength rather than recovery.
Fortunately, my talent was close to all-around, except for the flaw that the penalty was so damn severe, and I was able to make my fallen will boil again.
“A million and twenty-five…!”
It’s still a weak body if it’s weak, but there’s still quite a bit of time left.
If I spend all my remaining time on fitness, wouldn’t it be possible to raise my basic physical strength to a level similar to that of other superhumans?
Oh shit.
Thinking about it myself, I realized a hopeless fact.
Thinking that the possessor is running out of time is no different from a very fucking signal.
– One week left until the start of the main quest.
Unfortunately, before I could cancel and do it, my fucking head rang.
Yeah, I didn’t think this fucking novel would make training so smooth.
The fortunate thing is that there is only a week left before the start.
Actually, it’s not very fortunate, but originally, the important part was how you think about these things.
“But there is still a long way until admission?”
Before the main character enters the academy, there is not much that can be called the main story.
Of course, you can’t just blow away a month after the entrance ceremony, so there are small episodes going on, but I remember that none of them were very important.
Perhaps the most important event among the events that should have been at this timing is that the parents of a student victimized by terrorism use their family’s financial resources to start pressuring Raylan Academy.
“…How about?”
Is that like my father?
I was an orphan, so to be precise, I was Kang So-hyun’s father.
But it’s strange.
I didn’t die because I twisted the story, and of course I thought that my blackened father wouldn’t mess with Raylan Academy, but wasn’t that true?
Or does that mean something very different is about to happen?
However, at least based on the knowledge of the original work, it was impossible to predict what would happen.
Hmm.
“Twenty one million!”
The Possessor Special.
If there is no point in thinking about it anyway, just ignore it and do it.
At least there won’t be a sudden break from me after a week.
The victim in the main story must be either Lilac or Cheonyuhak, right?
*
And with the main story approaching a day ahead, I had no choice but to admit it.
Yes, I will admit it.
With 10 years of experience in web novels, I was not yet at a mature stage.
Fuck, isn’t that what the possessor is? If I did that, nothing would end well.
“Yes, cadet Kang So-hyun. Nice to meet you It is very desirable and good to see you choose to enter early from the first day and train every day.”
The true identity of the smiling beauty was the head of the school.
With silver hair close to pure white, and a soft impression that looks like a good person, the beauty creates a somewhat mysterious atmosphere.
“Don’t be too nervous. Even if you are the chairman, it hasn’t been long since you took office. In other words, it’s okay to say that he’s a kid just like the cadets.”
Ah, for reference, that word is gura.
She is a non-human, long-lived species, and apparently a resident of another world.
She pretends to retire after a reasonable amount of time, and she changes her appearance through her magic with the setting that she has been newly appointed, and continues to maintain her position as chairman.
High Elves.
It’s not just an elf, it’s a high elf.
Jang Su-jong, who becomes strong just by living, is often not interested in worldly affairs, but the woman in front of her is different.
She is an ‘elf who is very interested in people.’
“Well then, why did I call my cadet Kang So-hyun? Can you guess it?”
Her eyes were full of curiosity and interest to the point where it was burdensome.
“…Well?”
I’m sorry, but I really don’t know.
There are so many suspicious things that I don’t know what they are. Fuck.
Most likely, my secret friend, Ms. Cathy, was interested in me because of something she said.
When the candidates were roughly narrowed down to that point, the chairman smiled and said.
“My father wants to see you.”
“…Yes?”
“Oh, of course not my father, but your father wants to see you.”
The chairman threw a boring joke, perhaps trying to lighten the mood.
“Ha ha ha.”
And I laughed mechanically like a low-level employee who laughs desperately even after hearing the general manager’s gag.
More surprisingly, the cause that called me was neither speculative nor speculative.
“Originally, cadets who have entered the academy are treated as adults in terms of discipline, and under the assumption that they are responsible for their actions, all choices are left to the cadets themselves, but there are exceptions to everything in the world.”
I know what you mean.
“If your father doesn’t allow you to meet her, won’t she say that she will cut off your support using the academy terror incident as an excuse? So, as for me, I have no choice but to ask you.”
By the way, the moment you reject that request, there is a high probability that it will not be a request.
What she was interested in was her impatient temper to the point of playing with it the moment a cause arose.
Her steps in the original work were splendid enough to make me wonder if she was really a longevity species.
Ah, by the way, of course he dies in the original work.
If you ask why the strongest person in the world, who has never been outside the top 30 of the world hero ranking, dies, what can you do about dying in the original work?
But it turned out rather well.
“Yes, I will meet you.”
“Hmm? I’m sorry to say that I did a background investigation, but I know that cadets don’t have a good relationship with their families, right?”
Oh, I just want to go over this as smoothly as possible because I think of the chairman, but how come this person doesn’t care about saying things that would react so fucking sensitively depending on the person?
The answer is simple.
Maybe it’s because I’m confident that I’ll be able to get over it even if I say shit.
In the end, even in the original work, the father’s rebellion did not have much effect.
The chairman used it as a small trial to test Lilac, a student he was interested in at the time.
I thought about what to answer for a moment.
I had to answer well.
The thing in front of me is in the form of a beautiful woman, but it is one of the transcendental beings who have lived for a long time, and it is also a slayer who can easily slaughter quite a few monsters or villains.
She is confident in hiding her expression, but it won’t mean much to her.
Perhaps now I have a chance to make a big network.
However, it was a problem to draw too much attention, and it was also a problem to go out of the way too much.
I came to a conclusion after a short discussion.
I’m not sure if this is the correct answer or not, but at least it was the best I could think of.
“Chairman. I know you are interested in me.”
Without lies.
But in a way that doesn’t say everything.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? I’m interested in individual cadets.”
The poker face of the chairman has not yet collapsed.
If you recite her real name or secret, you can break that expression, but it’s a handshake.
What I had to attract was a subtle interest that didn’t completely turn off her attention, not her obsession.
“Maybe you heard something from the professor during the incident at the entrance ceremony, or it could be because you accidentally entered the dungeon with Professor Cathy.”
“Hmm, Cadet Kang So-hyun is a bit delusional.”
Now that I’m not on her alert, any information that might interest her.
“I have a limited knowledge of the future.”
Chairman.
I stopped laughing and looked at me with a cold face.
“You are joking. You have a talent related to wisdom that only two people in the world have had so far? Cadet Kang So-hyun? You know that your talent is strengthening, right?”
I smiled.
“No? I’m not a prophet, and I’m sure my talent is strong. But maybe someone can show me some of the future of the world.”
She seemed to be pondering the truth of my words.
But I have nothing to fear.
Why? There is not a single lie in what has been said.
My talent is Ganghwa, and I know the limited future through what others have shown me, such as a collection of settings.
If the chairman suddenly breaks my neck by telling me to give out all the information, why do I come out so hard?
I assure you, but it can never happen.
I’m the second person who knows this world the best, which means I’ve seen the characters the second longest.
Raylan Claudia.
He is a proud member of the High Elves, but unlike other elves who are close-minded, he has a freewheeling personality and has a lot of ruthlessness.
Basically ruthless towards those whom he judges to be a threat to him, but on the contrary, he is quite lenient towards those who are not his enemies.
“Yes.”
Above all, I know in advance the questions you will ask me from now on.
I am a possessor.
-So what are you going to do with that undeserved talent?
“You said you knew the future, at least in part, right? What are you going to do with information about the future?”
Although it was a little different, you were always a person who sought a convincing answer.
Lilac, who was originally asked that question a little later, answered.
He said he would save as many people as he could reach.
However, I couldn’t answer like that.
If I had to say it, it wouldn’t be sincere, and she would easily see through it.
However, I guarantee that she will like my answer as well.
“I will save the heroes.”
“What?”
This was sincere.
I was going to save the people who died absurdly in the original work, and most of them were heroes.
Also, Lilac and Cheonyuhak, whose lives have gone to hell because of my friend’s fucking taste, will also make their lives not so hopeless.
“Because I am in a position to save someone, I will help heroes who are dying without help from anyone.”
It’s a bit of a shriveled line, but it usually works well for a character like this.
With 10 years of experience in web novels, I haven’t made a mistake twice.
“Huh.”
The chairman tilted his head as he pondered something for a moment.
It wasn’t the reaction she expected, but she nodded her head.
“You don’t seem to have such a good disposition, but there is not a single lie in what you say.”
Yes! I’m proud!
“Yes, ‘I will save a hero.’ So, was trying to stop the academy terrorism part of that?”
That’s right.
I was trying to help Lilac.
But contrary to my expectations, she jumped up and came to me.
Uh, the fuck? Are you bored? ‘It’s dangerous to let a guy who knows the future live’?
Fortunately, unexpectedly, she came up to me and stroked my hair with a soft hand.
What is it?
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know that I was a child who gets frightened and shrinks so easily.”
“Yes?”
“I was very impressed with how he tried to answer honestly while being so wary of me.”
Hmm?
It looks a bit different from the picture I was hoping for…?
It’s true that I wanted to be seen as a good person, but I didn’t know that my vigilance would be discovered.
“Cathy was right. It was just a ‘nice kid’.”
As she said that, she took something out of her arms and handed it to me.
What is this, a potion?
“I didn’t mean to make it scary, but I made it scary unintentionally, so it’s a reward for that. It will restore a lot of your shortcomings.”
Oh my God, the chairman was a great person who knew how the world worked, and a mature adult who understood that everything had to be paid for.
I didn’t know because the gangster image was so strong in the original work, but it was because Lilac and Cheonyuhak weren’t afraid of him!
Wow! Exciting Secret Friend No. 2!
“Wouldn’t that little gift be so nice?”
Ah, Mr.
I was confident about my expression, but I can’t hide anything.
“Then, coming back to the main topic, when would it be okay to talk to your father?”
“Yes?”
Ah, that’s right. Is that what you called for in the first place?
“It doesn’t matter if it’s tomorrow, right?”
Well, it’s not like we just talk all day, so we can skip an hour or two at the gym.
“Yes, I have a very good attitude to face scary or unpleasant things.”
…I’m not that kind of person?
Seeing through lies, right?
I didn’t do anything stupid, did I?
