The issue of the contract was resolved simply by unanimous agreement.
However, there was an unexpected conclusion as to which power or ability he wanted after that.
Surprisingly, the group showed more interest in obtaining superpowers using the Starlight Meteorite than the Telos Ampoule.
“Hmm… I guess it would be better to just touch the meteorite rather than getting the medicine directly?”
“Because I’m afraid of needles… ”
Moon Ji-yu and Sera spoke with trembling faces. Sera’s words were obviously an excuse.
‘If you look at it that way, aren’t meteorites that emit strange auras unsettling?’
Even though it is a facility within the work, it is puzzling that a meteorite that was exposed to a lot of radiation from space is more trustworthy than a medicine made in a formal laboratory.
It’s almost as if they trust folk remedies more than the medications prescribed by the hospital.
Of course, it is a folk remedy, but it is also guaranteed to be effective…
‘It’s difficult for my sensibility to understand.’
Anyway, the two seemed reluctant to put an orange liquid that looked like a drink into their bodies, no matter how certain its effects were.
In addition, the fact that superpowers have a fairly high output on their own without any special effort and that they don’t consume much stamina when used like other abilities may have also played a part in that decision.
Since their abilities have drawbacks, they can increase their output by training their physical strength, but they are not martial artists obsessed with reaching a certain level.
It wasn’t a wrong decision, since I would be spending most of my time in reality anyway, unless I occasionally went on a trip to a unique date destination.
In reality, isn’t it the same as ensuring safety just by signing a contract?
In that sense, it might be surprising that Olivia chose the Telos Ampoule.
Seeing him mumbling about some super soldier thing, it seemed like he was thinking of a scene from a movie.
‘Then there are two ampoules left.’
Even if Jeong Su-jin, who is not present, chooses the Telos Ampoule, one will remain.
The remaining ampoules may be used by someone else, so I should keep them in my inventory, right?
At that moment, Maria, who had been quietly observing the situation, suddenly spoke up.
-How about using it for research purposes?
‘research?’
– In reality, we just kept it because there wasn’t enough to analyze the ingredients or conduct various tests, but I thought that if we use future technology, wouldn’t it be possible to replicate it and mass-produce it?
Mass production of Telos Ampoules!
That’s exactly what Maria was talking about.
‘If it’s the future… are you talking about the Nova Empire?’
Newkind, who brought Maria, was also from the future, but they were more developed in the field of mechanical engineering than in the field of life sciences, so if we had to be specific, the Nova Empire was more suitable for replicating the Telos Ampoule.
Since New Kind was already a completed travel destination, time passed just like in reality, so it wasn’t suitable for research.
-That’s right. The Nova Empire has advanced enough technology to travel through space and create clones. Surely even a small sample size would yield positive results.
It is certain that Telos ampoules are no longer available.
These are items made in the laboratory of the Kingdom of Heylum in the Academy of the Fallen Kingdom, but the laboratory was completely destroyed after the mutant incident, and these ampoules were taken by me from the Dean of the Academy who had been keeping them.
If mass production of Telos ampoules were possible as she said, it would certainly be useful in many ways.
For example, you can give it to your colleagues while traveling or use it to build up your power.
If that happens, the agent force will be recreated in another world.
The only risk is losing the remaining ampoules…
Anyway, there is no one to give it to right now, so it would be a good thing to invest like that.
These things don’t accumulate interest if you leave them unused.
After gathering my thoughts and raising my head, I saw the group looking at me with eyes full of anticipation.
“Are you doing it right now?”
“I drank today and Soojin isn’t here, so let’s do it a few days later.”
Disappointment appeared in their eyes as they shook their heads.
I continued speaking hurriedly, fearing that they might change their minds at the sight.
“No, no, just signing a contract is enough to be useful in reality. You need to give yourself time to adjust to your changed physical abilities. If you suddenly gain superpowers, you might not be able to control your strength and have an accident.”
“… That’s right.”
“I’m not sure if I’ll break the glass if I hold it for no reason.”
Swish swish!
Moon Ji-yu nodded and Sarah waved her arms around. As soon as I finished speaking, Olivia was jumping up and down in place, trying to adapt as quickly as possible.
It seems like he’s already mastered the art of controlling his strength to some extent, as his head barely touches the ceiling.
Crackle crackle.
“You’re going crazy, so adjust when you get home. Just be careful when touching doorknobs and faucets, and you’ll be fine.”
“Is that your experience too?”
“No, I did well from the beginning.”
“Chii… ”
That wasn’t the only reason why he didn’t immediately awaken superpowers and abilities.
Because, even if you don’t know about the Telos Ampoule, the awakening through the Starlight Meteorite is not real, but must take place in the Namhira world.
-Why is that?
‘That’s to increase the probability of awakening. Most of the meteors there have already lost their power.’
The starlight meteors in Namhira’s world had already released most of their power. That’s why the value of starlight is fully realized in the hands of someone with supernatural powers.
It means that even if you bring a meteorite from there and hold it in your arms in reality, there is no guarantee that you will definitely awaken.
Fortunately, however, the Starlight that is still stored in my inventory in the form of a meteorite has not lost all of its energy.
That might not be enough, but in a world where energy has already spread throughout Namhira, it could significantly increase the probability of awakening.
‘And there is another reason why we must carry out the awakening in Namhira.’
The meteorite will probably start emitting energy the moment you take it out of your inventory.
Even if the group does their best to cover the meteorite, there’s no telling where it will end up.
I don’t think anything will happen if I just take it out for a moment to wake up the group here, but I always have to be prepared just in case.
In that world, too, because the energy from the meteorite spread, people with superpowers appeared all over the world, so if people with superpowers appeared in reality, it would definitely be a big disaster.
Reality is a pristine area free of supernatural phenomena.
I can’t take that risk for no reason.
‘Except for me and my people, that is.’
Now that I think about it, I suddenly thought that it would be nice if I could collect more Starlights.
Right now, only Maria and I are using superpowers, but once everyone in the group awakens their powers, we’ll have to give them each a piece of useful equipment.
It will probably be in an inconspicuous form for ease of use in real life.
And even though Maria had awakened powerful supernatural powers, it goes without saying that it would be more convenient if she had some proper auxiliary tools.
It would be possible to handle it with the amount we have now, but it wouldn’t hurt to have some extra resources.
Before awakening my party, I decided to go into Namhira for the first time in a long while to collect Starlight.

‘… It feels like it’s been a really long time.’
I checked my body, confirming that my eye level was noticeably lower than reality.
Although not as much as the story of the two-person expedition, Namhira’s avatar also looked younger than in real life, so it was inevitable to feel a bit of a sense of incongruity when traveling.
But that awkward feeling didn’t last long.
Even though the height has changed a little, the power contained within it remains the same.
The actions that can be taken or the power of the force have not changed.
After I finished checking my body, I looked around.
The place I am is the Lee sisters’ house.
The last time I was here, I had wiped out a villain organization in Japan and taken a bunch of artifacts.
And I asked the Lee sisters to fuse things like telepathy artifacts with the suit so that I could use them while wearing the suit.
I remember returning to reality as soon as the fusion was complete.
I think the police came in the middle for some reason…
‘That’s right. Inspector Seo Min-jeong came.’
Didn’t I say I came to tell you that the investigation into the Stone Golem, the villain I killed, was concluded?
Since he wasn’t even named as a suspect, it seemed like it wasn’t something I needed to worry about anymore.
I went to find the Lee sisters, who were each locked in their own rooms, and asked them.
“Sister! Where did the most Starlight meteorites fall?”
