A few traps to deceive Jeong Ji-yoon.

I shouted in front of her as if to make her listen.

The goal of the party is True Opposition.

Of course, just by saying that statement, Jeong Ji-yoon would have relaxed his guard against me considerably.

‘That alone won’t make me completely let down my guard.’

Jeong Ji-yoon has a meticulous personality.

So, I watched Lim Jae-ho and I spar without leaving the training room for nearly an hour.

But Jeong Ji-yoon probably didn’t know that even that sparring was a trap.

‘It must have seemed crazy.’

Of course, it was beyond common sense for me to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Lim Jae-ho, who had vastly different physical specifications.

Of course, it was a very profitable action for me.

My body ached to the point of death because I had to withstand Lim Jae-ho’s fist with my whole body.

Because of that, I was able to raise my stats.

In that hand-to-hand sparring, I played the role of a hot-blooded idiot to further deceive Jeong Ji-yoon.

– Let’s stick together more! Unless I faint, it’s not my loss! If you have the will… Isn’t it the will of a hunter to attack until he dies?

He even deliberately said such a line and deceived Jeong Ji-yoon.

In the end, Jeong Ji-yoon left with a relieved expression.

To her, an elite, it must have seemed like a really stupid and primitive training method.

‘That must be Jeong Ji-yoon’s limit.’

Although he has a cool and rational head.

In any case, the objects of comparison are only the children of high-ranking awakened people like her.

So, I was just an unknown cadet.

You wouldn’t even think that he would be deceiving her, the elite of the elite.

“You want to spar here more? How strong is your will… That’s crazy mental strength!!”

Jeong Si-woo opened his mouth.

The acting was so realistic that even Jeong Si-woo was fooled, which was a bit funny.

“Are you sure it’s okay? If you’re going to continue sparring, drink a recovery potion and continue again…”

Lim Jae-ho also looked at me with a worried expression.

That’s how bad my body seemed to be.

Actually, that was the case.

It was difficult to stand properly and my legs were shaking.

But I shook my head.

“No. Let’s stick together like this again. Because my mind is fine. Let’s get started.”

Lim Jae-ho and Jeong Si-woo looked amazed.

***

Like the two people’s reactions, I was putting my body through quite a bit of strain.

But it was absolutely necessary training.

Now my whole body felt stiff and dull, and my body didn’t feel like my own.

‘That means. It means you can focus your senses more on mana.’

A state of being beaten close to the limit.

Now I am moving my body only with mental power.

And mana is responding to that mental power.

I held on to my trembling arms.

I held the orb tightly in my hand.

I felt my mana spinning and being sucked into the orb.

‘good. I can picture the flow completely in my mind.’

I used the skill as is.

A few hours ago.

I was planning to replicate the method of successfully attacking Instructor Lee Soo-yeon.

[The active skill Summon Dark Mirror (lv.7) was used.]

The throne of the Power Shadow Mirror.

The mirror of the hidden attribute has been summoned.

‘It feels completely different.’

The second power, the Seat of Shadow Mirror, has already exceeded level 25.

The same level as the maximum level based on the first power.

Of course, the maximum level for the second power is 50.

This means that it is by no means a small level.

‘Because the skill level is already 7.’

According to Theia’s standards, you have to be Jo A-rin to use the skill at level 7.

So, many of the mirrors I created were placed in the surrounding space.

As the level is 7, 7 mirrors are installed in all directions.

At the same time, I felt my senses greatly expanded.

‘The sensations I feel through the mirror are much more vivid than my own body.’

It was what I wanted.

Rather, rather than a body that seems ready to collapse at any moment.

I felt like that dark mirror was my true self.

To my roots, which are much more unknown.

“What is this mirror? Is this the same skill used on instructor Lee Soo-yeon?”

Hwiik-

Lim Jae-ho took out his weapon and quickly swung his arm.

Mana rays of light shone from the sharp claws.

It means using a skill.

It was a dangerous weapon that felt as sharp as the claws of a fierce tiger.

Sigh-

Lim Jae-ho’s skill could not destroy my mirror.

If it were the first power, the Mirror of Light, it would have been destroyed.

Already a level 7 mirror.

Moreover, since it is a special case skill with a hidden grade and dark attribute.

It was not easily destroyed by ordinary physical attacks alone.

‘Well, it’s just a meaningless skill at that level.’

Except that it is shimmering with dark energy and reflecting the images of Lim Jae-ho and me.

It wasn’t having much influence.

Me and Lim Jae-ho in the mirror do not affect reality.

There was no effect such as causing direct damage to Lim Jae-ho.

But the skill possibilities are endless.

The setting of the original work is that new skills can be developed depending on how the caster uses them.

Of course, it also applies to today’s reality.

I used one more skill in that state.

[Active skill Flame (lv.2) was used.]

[You are using multiple active skills. A large amount of mana is consumed.]

Grrr-

The fire was burning fiercely and began to create a whirlpool of flames.

Jeong Si-woo suddenly shouted in surprise.

“Using two skills at the same time?”

This guy was amazing.

Using various skills is something that even high-class cadets can do without difficulty.

However, the method is to use the next skill after one skill is completed.

Coexisting skills like this was a skill that was close to a feat by cadet standards.

“Instructor Lee Su-yeon was not surprised for no reason. You have to be at least level B to have the necessary skills…”

Lim Jae-ho also spoke in a surprised voice.

Like the guy said.

Because I was able to co-exist with both skills without any difficulty.

‘Actually, it’s not that difficult.’

The throne of the Power Shadow Mirror.

Through that power, many powers were copied.

So, without much practice, my body has already adapted to many of the powers and skills.

And although the attributes are different, summoning a mirror has not been difficult at all since the first power.

Because of that Ha Ye-eun, there was a time when she was summoned to provide lighting for several hours of broadcast time.

‘At that time, it was for lighting purposes. ‘The mirror is different now.’

I was planning to combine the two skills I activated now and get a new attack skill.

I don’t know what to do –

Above the seven mirrors, a burning flame was reflected.

It was as if the flames had been summoned in large quantities.

Just like they surrounded Lim Jae-ho.

He brought his arms together and crossed them across his chest into an X.

“But I’m not afraid of fire with simple flame properties.”

Like the guy said.

Lim Jae-ho’s physical strength was enough to block my signature skill, Flame, with his body.

‘That claw is also an item with elemental magic resistance properties.’

So, the current sparring was important.

A complex skill that goes beyond a simple single skill.

And this is where I need to see the possibility of directly applying my highest level skill, Summoning the Mirror of Darkness, to battle.

‘I’m focusing more on the mirror and flame that connect me and mana…’

As if my body was a mirror and not this body.

Just as the soul, the subject of my mind, is also its mirror.

Beep-beep-beep-

At the same time, like the warning in the notification window, mana hearts began to empty at once.

I held onto my mind as if I was about to faint.

The burning flames were aimed at Lim Jae-ho.

“Illusion Flame.”

At the same time, he spit out a cast word.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-

That moment.

A huge flame spewed out of the mirror and engulfed Lim Jae-ho.

At the same time, I fainted.

***

Theia Academy Nurse’s Office.

Although it had the same name as a normal high school.

In reality, the facilities and standard were so excellent that they were no different from regular hospitals visited by awakened people.

A large man spoke in front of a bed in a hospital room in the nurse’s office.

“I have completed my recovery. Lee Jun-woo…”

“The doctor said it was not a serious injury. Still, I’m staying here until Junwoo regains consciousness…”

“I understand. Then, let me ask you a favor. Because you are qualified to take care of Lee Jun-woo.”

Lim Jae-ho, a large werewolf, bowed his head to Choi Hana.

Then he tried to leave.

“Wait a minute. It would be nice if you could tell this to Lee Jun-woo.”

And Jae-ho Lim left a few words.

His impressions of this sparring.

Even Choi Hana was surprised by that sentiment, but he quickly left.

Lim Jae-ho and Choi Hana are classmates in the same class, the Department of Liberal Studies.

However, we didn’t really exchange greetings in private.

Other than the group message chat room, we don’t have any contact information.

Nevertheless, Lim Jae-ho’s attitude towards Choi Hana was much more cautious than that of other female classmates in the same department.

Choi Hana suddenly remembered the characteristics of a werewolf.

‘They said werewolves treat women with mates very carefully.’

As much as it is a sub-race.

And as much as they value hierarchy and group life, werewolves never forgive anyone for messing with their mates.

So vice versa.

Apparently, Lim Jae-ho thought that Lee Jun-woo and Choi Hana were a couple.

‘I… I… am a couple with Lee Jun-woo… not yet…’

Choi Hana lowered her head and saw Lee Jun-woo sleeping.

When I saw the message in the group chat that Lee Jun-woo fainted while sparring with Lim Jae-ho, I was really scared and ran.

Fortunately, there were no serious injuries.

No, I said my whole body was bruised and my muscles were very tired.

Still, it was good compared to the really serious injuries that can happen during sparring.

Rather, it was Lim Jae-ho who simply suffered more injuries.

Still, it was shocking to see the werewolf’s body quickly recover from its full-body burns and leave the scene.

‘It’s sparring…’

The dungeon evaluation party for the midterm exam became a party for the upcoming competition.

So the core members, Lee Jun-woo and Lim Jae-ho, seemed to be quite focused on training.

‘I wonder if I’m overdoing it…’

So I was more worried about Lee Jun-woo.

We are not officially dating Lee Jun-woo yet.

Scarlett said that the relationship was more than just flirting.

As expected, she had never had any experience dating a man.

Because every day was confusing because of the unfamiliar feelings that had arisen within her.

But one thing was certain.

I feel very relieved to see Lee Jun-woo’s face like this, safe and sound.

And, this moment when we are alone is very exciting.

“Lee Jun-woo…”

Choi Hana’s fingertips touched Lee Junwoo’s lips at that moment.
