Chapter 19

I don’t really remember what happened after that.

Did you stagger out of the training ground, wash yourself, and stop by the audiovisual room during your break?

In a private room designed like a home theater, I played the video material of Superman mentioned by Instructor Jensen, but frankly, most of the content was spilled.

Although the overall concept was vague, it felt like a vampire.

===

[Time is a rubber band]

◈ Constraints: It gets slower later

◈ Deadline: up to 30 minutes

▸The Price: It’s faster now

Because I had to rebound the oath made in the previous moment.

I was impressed with the experience of the sound wave coming out of the speaker being compressed dozens of times and squashed into a mess.

Inside the audiovisual room surrounded by walls, it feels like tens of seconds to watch the video painted on the screen rewind at high speed like a cheap movie.

When I woke up, most of the screenings were over, and the minute hand of the watch had turned more than half a turn.

The scene of a woman slashing a mountain with bombs to flatten it is just unfamiliar to me.

That’s the price of accidental acceleration. If tens of seconds were used like tens of minutes, then tens of minutes should be used like tens of seconds to balance the balance.

This is also the principle of the precept.

If I had looked inside the room from the outside, I would have found myself sitting there like a stone.

Those tens of minutes were decisive and defenseless moments for me, unable to resist even if someone walked openly and slashed my neck with a knife.

Even thinking about it again makes my heart cold.

Even if it was said that there was nothing to be done because it was an urgent situation…

An ability that boasts of omnipotence and versatility, but must pay a reasonable price.

It’s nice to hear that you can use your powerful powers indefinitely, but in practice, it’s not that difficult to deal with.

Well, it can be said that there is a hint of devising.

After the rest time was completely blown away, I blankly went straight to the next training.

I finished my tasks for the day as if somehow possessed, as soon as I returned straight to the dormitory, I was completely blown away with how managed to coarse through it.

It’s 2:30 in the morning and the sun had long set.

I had a strange dream. Enough to still vividly remember everything.

It makes me want to ask myself how clearly those eyes have been embedded.

I tried to raise my aching body and stretch it lightly.

Was it because I was quite tired? Well, that’s just not getting tired.

Right after the training that squeezed her concentration to the limit, the pressure on Shin Haram came on, and as she barely escaped the threat, the next training was waiting.

It was a marathon that physically sat in the audio-visual room and rested well, but mentally, it was a marathon. It seems that it was more difficult because of that sense of separation.

In a country of the past, it is impossible to know where the mistake might have come from.

After all, 『Immortalism (E)』 was the best. Ever since I came into this world, I have never regretted that choice.

“Sigh.”

She sat on the bed and stroked her neck with her palms.

I used it as a trigger to change my thinking to check if it was attached properly.

There is an episode of Shin Haram mentioned in the original work.

Would you say it is a story of a prestigious family that has been passed down for a thousand years?

Shin Haram had a servant of the same age that her family had given her since childhood. In fact, the relationship was so strong that you could call them family.

However, as the years passed, the servant began to harbor a curious mind.

As his desire for Shin Haram deepened, he despaired over various circumstances and fell into the devil’s tricks and fell into a demon.

Normally, you would imagine a warm story of a girl who was hurt by the betrayal of a relative and opens her heart to a new meeting.

No. Shin Haram was different.

The next day, the girl who was born with long eyes just quietly muttered to the servant who greeted her in the morning with a straight face.

‘You are dead.’

Instant death. It was the moment when the servant’s neck was blown off with a slash without a single hesitation.

It was the day Shin Haram celebrated her 10th birthday.

You can tell by looking at them, so if you see their back as dirty, they will kill you mercilessly.

That’s Shin Haram’s style!

As expected, I was very impressed with the fact that she was the main heroine of “Super Massacre” back then. Especially since elaborate illustrations are attached.

All I can say is that I am quite fond of the girl who dyed her white clothes of blood that gushed up to the ceiling like a fountain.

At that time, for some reason, the Shin Haram non-virgin controversy broke out and the community was on fire, but it is a small memory that the public opinion turned upside down when it was revealed that the servant was actually a girl.

Yes. It’s interesting to think about it again, back then.

Anyway, the fact that my neck didn’t blow off on the spot right now… means that.

I don’t know what kind of existence Shin Haram and Cheon Murin are pursuing, but I escaped from that line of suspicion.

The question is, is this the same as the flow of the original or not?

Although it is an incident that is clearly not mentioned in the original, both Shin Haram and Cheon Murin are characters who only show their faces from time to time at the beginning of the novel and do not have a clear relationship with the main character.

The point of contact is after the mine attack.

Therefore, at the beginning of the semester, the path of the two remains blank, and the possibility that ‘this happened outside the main character’s view’ cannot be ruled out.

Whether it’s a tangled issue or not. It would be difficult to move if only this part was clearly revealed.

If so, this time around, it’s my turn to follow, but.

“Whoa.”

Oh, I don’t know. Let’s rest for a while.

Not yet. I am a person too. 

When you are tired, you need to have time to recharge and refresh your motivation.

Rumble. I open the closet door and pick out a few outing clothes lined up in a row.

Anyway, I couldn’t sleep again, so I’m thinking of getting some fresh air outside.

Come to think of it, it must have been a long time since I took a walk at night.

So far, I’ve only been locked in because I’m wary of overlapping lines, but since it’s been proven that even Shin Haram’s bravery can break through head-on, it’s a bit of a breather for me.

For some reason, a smile appears on my lips.

It was an overwhelming refreshment.

***

The Academy late at night is clear and colorful.

The dazzling lights are hung all over the street to attract attention, but the shade that spreads through the beams are thick.

Overall, the contrast was very clear, so the starry sky on the ground was more suitable than the night castle.

But that doesn’t mean that it’s a scene that encourages fuel like emotions.

Although there is a slight calm subsidence, the overflowing vitality is indistinguishable between day and night. Even when it was close to 3 in the morning, there were not a lot of people making noise.

The types of characteristics are extremely diverse.

If it has the ability to handle salt heat, it also has the ability to handle ice and snow.

If there is a characteristic of uncovering the truth, there is also a characteristic of covering it with lies.

If there is a characteristic that increases the size, there is also a characteristic that decreases the size.

Therefore, if there is a characteristic of running in broad daylight, there is also a characteristic of waking up in the middle of the night. I didn’t know it was a normal story.

『Moonbaragi』, whose magical power increases or decreases depending on the age of the moon, 『Sun Moon Wheel』, which resurrects under the sunlight if it dies under the moonlight and resurrects under the moonlight if it dies under the sun, and 『Rabbit Rice Cake Mill』, which borrows the mass of the moon and presses it blindly.

『Heaven Magician』, which uses the saints in the sky as a magic circle, 『The Incarnation of Constellation』, which receives blessings corresponding to the constellations, and 『Recites the Traces of the Beginnings』, which observes the starry sky and counts fate.

『Abyss Devourer』 who endures hunger by swallowing darkness, 『Black Crown』 that develops a different dimension through shadows, 『Herald of the Void』 that transforms into a strange monster in darkness.

The deep night sky is a different area from the bright day.

It’s dimmer, somewhat relaxed, and equally noisy.

It is difficult to categorize superhumans with unique personalities at a time when various kinds of abilities exist.

Therefore, all commercial facilities in the theme were operated 24 hours a day.

Of course, it’s also perfect for grabbing a late-night snack on the go.

“Huh?”

“Huh.”

Maybe that’s why I discovered the size of the bag in front of the convenience store.

Dull skin. Curly hair with a cropped cut. Stretchy training attire. Unexpectedly, the expression on the other side is also loose, looking slightly confused.

A smirk came out.

“Amir?”

“Hello, Dan-hyeok… because I need some food for the tribute.

Watching his swaying eyes swim around felt like he was going to say a slightly mischievous word.

Indeed, this is why Lacey was always called cute…

It was a strange realization.

But let me pretend I don’t know. Unlike Lacey, he’s kind.

“There are a lot of hardships in the programming world. I forgot to skip dinner and woke up halfway through.”

It was half true. Since I got this body, the amount of food I eat has also increased significantly.

“······Well.”

“Well, I have class tomorrow, so I just have to fill my stomach and go back. It looks like I’ll be hearing something from Lacey again.”

While flirting, Amir suddenly made eye contact with someone.

“Did anything happy happen? You look good.”

rattle, and

For some reason, the words didn’t come out for a moment.

What should I answer? Do you just laugh?

But before he could open his mouth, Amir rummaged through the envelope, pulled out something, and swung it out.

I looked at him involuntarily, shrugged my shoulders, and offered another suggestion, but after it was handed to me, it was…

“What is this, is this alcohol?”

A silver-gray beer can sparkles in the light of a convenience store.

Even thinking about it, a bear solemnly raises its voice at the stupid muttering.

“I am a necromancer. It can be used for ancestral rites, so we have a license for alcohol.”

Then he looked around and whispered softly.

“Don’t tell Lacey,” he said. with a slightly troubled expression.

I stared blankly at that blunt face.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but congratulations anyway.”

I will probably never forget for a long time the words I uttered in a slightly shy tone.

I don’t know why, but I felt an intuition at this moment.

“I’ll see you tomorrow. . . . No, today?”

Whew-

I was watching Amir’s back as he disappeared into the night city. Keep going until your fingers tingle in the can of cold beer.

The darkness that spreads in front even evokes the illusion that the black sea spreads out. Especially because I turned my back on the white light that was shining through the window of the convenience store.

Whoa, a sigh escaped suddenly.

If you face the mirror now, a strange smile will hang on your lips.

Ah- yes. what to say now this is it

Until recently, I wanted to try out a new restaurant, but today a convenience store lunch box is enough. I feel that way.

Now that I’ve rested enough I have to go back

Did you say you look good? That’s right, Amir.

Because my heart is still beating in my chest, and my mind is rewinding that momentary moment again and again like crazy over and over again.

Humans are creatures that can feel pleasure just by simulating game characters.

What if it were himself?

A process in which the characteristics I devised were interlocked and rolled like a cart wheel, finally overcoming even a desperate obstacle!

A feeling of liberation that actually exploded the accumulated power! That experience drives me crazy.

The feeling of uplifting never goes away.

I want to confess that I couldn’t stand it because it was inevitably fun to enjoy the feeling of growing up.

In other words, it was time to run towards the original purpose again.

First, we need to check where Shin Haram’s behavior went wrong.

And there is just one place worth looking at right now.
