Kook- Kook-

“It’s getting better now.”

Do Yu-jin confirmed that her headache had gone away and took her fingers off her temples.

If there had been a donut, I could have just taken a bite and calmed my mind, but it was just a shame.

‘I should pick up some emergency donuts on my way back to the dorm.’

This was not optional.

It was something I absolutely had to do to avoid dying from stress-induced gastritis.

‘then……’

ha-

‘I’m so annoyed I could die, but I’ll try to think positively.’

In [Circle Academy], [Talent] is a kind of bonus value that adds correction to the character’s actions.

If a character has outstanding physical talent, it is possible to fully understand the form of the sword in one swordsmanship lesson.

If the character’s magical talent is outstanding, it is possible to control the magical power gained through a single breath by releasing it into a thread thinner than a thread.

Of course, if you don’t have talent, the opposite can happen just as easily.

As I said before, if you choose Easy difficulty, the protagonist will become a Munchkin genius, and if you choose Hell difficulty, he will become a chronic genius. The reason for this difference is the talent system.

‘Now that I’ve got the talent system that starts me off on Hell difficulty, those two should be fine.’

One extra deals with the debuff and the two main characters receive the buff.

Even if you just think about it in terms of math, this is much more advantageous.

Do Yu-jin, who had tried so hard to calm herself down, opened her closed eyes.

‘By the way, originally it was just a role to that extent, but now that the game has become reality, [talent] seems to have become a real ‘talent’.’

Gyaut-

‘No, to be exact, I should say that this amount of correction is being made to me.’

Do Yu-jin moved her body slightly.

A moment ago I thought I was simply feeling very depressed, but now that I look at it, my whole body feels heavy, as if I’ve been underwater with a bad cold.

It felt as if my whole body was tied up with huge iron chains and I was being dragged down.

Hmm-

‘Talent can be developed by leveling up, but right now, it seems like the harm is much greater than the gain.’

There was no need to say anything more, Do Yu-jin’s body was proving it right now.

Before entering the game, I was able to perform simple movements without difficulty, perhaps thanks to my experiences in my past life.

But if you try to do even a slightly complex movement like running.

Kwadang-

“What, that guy suddenly fell down?”

“What were you doing on this flat road that made you fall like that?”

“I don’t know, maybe I twisted my ankle while practicing tap dancing, or something.”

… … I lost my balance and fell over like this.

Suddenly-

Do Yu-jin quickly got up from her seat and moved her feet as she felt the warm gazes from all sides.

I wanted to run, but I thought I wouldn’t be able to hold out for long and would fall again, so I just walked as fast as a warning.

‘By the way, this is a bigger problem than I thought… … ‘

With my body in this condition, I couldn’t even train properly, let alone fight in an actual match.

‘And if you can’t train, your stats will stay like this for the rest of your life.’

Of course, if I raised my talent stat later, the situation would change, but there was no time to wait for that.

Do Yu-jin’s mind naturally pictured herself gasping for breath as she couldn’t keep up with the class.

‘If that happens, it would be impossible to help the main characters.’

There was no way I could help others when I couldn’t even take care of myself right away.

‘I’m so worried about my future that I feel like I could die, but all I can do is wait for the future.’

Do Yu-jin forcibly put an end to her worries and lowered her gaze further.

[Weapon Talent]

-Dagger LV. 1

-Firearms LV. 1

[Technical Talent]

-Alchemy LV. 1

-Summoning LV. 1

“Haa… … ”

Another sigh escaped Do Yu-jin’s mouth as she confirmed the things that were beneath the attribute talent.

First of all, there was one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.

The good news is that, like traits, the number of slots for weapon talents and skill talents has also increased from one to two.

Compared to the trait, it is true that the level is low, but in fact, this was also a huge privilege.

Because weapon talent and technical talent are directly connected to skills, in some cases they are more important than traits.

But here’s the bad news.

‘How can the number of talents increase from two to four, yet none of them interlock with each other?’

Weapon talents are daggers and firearms, and skill talents are alchemy and summoning?

This was such a baseless combination, it was giving me a headache.

Of course, even if you use it separately, it doesn’t mean that there is any kind of debuff or anything.

But just as swords and swordplay create a synergistic effect, and sweet donuts and bitter coffee create a synergistic effect, the two talents reveal their true value when they mesh together.

‘There’s a reason why characters with perfectly aligned weapon talent and technical talent are called blessed characters.’

And when you look at it that way, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Do Yu-jin’s character is cursed now that all four gears are spinning independently.

‘What should I do with this?’

If the talent of the created character is this different from the others, it is normal to recreate the character.

Weapon talent and technical talent, unlike characteristics, cannot be changed later.

But now, to Do Yu-jin, the character’s regeneration was nothing more than a call to die and come back to life.

“In the end, is this the only way to go all the way with these?”

Well, I feel like I’ve gotten a lot of perks for entering the game, but I feel like they’re not all that helpful.

‘… … But now that I know that I have a fire under my tail, I’m definitely motivated.’

After checking my status there, I felt like I had a little idea of how to develop the character Do Yu-jin.

So now all that was left to do was check one last thing and we were done.

“You clearly said points and stores.”

[Would you like to use the ‘Points Shop’?]

A new window appeared in response to Do Yu-jin’s muttering.

It was a new system that he had never seen before in a game, but Do Yu-jin could roughly guess how to use it.

‘If you think about the message that appeared at first, it was probably something about receiving points when I intervened in some incident and being able to use the points I received at the store.’

I didn’t like that you had to get involved in things to get points, but the shop was useful.

There was literally nothing that couldn’t be found, from common items available on the street to special items that could only be found on the black market.

‘When I actually saved Han Si-yeon, the rock-disintegrating potion sold at the store was incredibly helpful.’

Swish-

Do Yu-jin briefly looked at the items in the store and then bought a 5-point steel dagger.

Because I needed to learn a bit about weapon talent.

“Huh?”

As Do Yu-jin held the dagger, she felt the guy cling to her hand as if he was happy to see her.

‘Is this the power of weapon talent?’

Do Yu-jin stared at the dagger for a moment, then tried to imitate a pose she had seen somewhere before.

Then, as you dash forward, swing your dagger with all your might towards a nearby tree.

Kkudangtangtang-!

The tree was cut down strangely and rolled down the ground in a very grand manner.

“Wow, did you see that guy fall just now?”

“You see, how can someone fall like that? Isn’t that person dead?”

“Hey, I see you’re a student from the circle. Are you going to die from something like that?”

No, I think I’m going to die.

Because I was sold out.

◎ ◎ ◎

‘This is not it!’

Do Yu-jin, who was able to confirm her talent more objectively through the dagger, was greatly shocked.

And then, thinking that this wasn’t right, I went deep into a deserted park and swung my dagger like crazy for three hours.

Because of rolling around like that, I fell here and there and lost all my strength.

But thanks to that, I can now roughly understand the state of my body.

First of all, this body was so talentless that it was fitting to say that it was cursed by heaven.

I was able to hold out for a while while running, but when I swung my fist, I fell forward, and when I kicked, I fell backward.

It was the same with magic power. I could faintly feel the magic power, but I failed miserably at moving it.

‘There was no answer, just like an old car that had been exposed to wind and rain in a junkyard for a hundred years.’

But, funny enough,

Shushuk-

Shh-

Shushu shuk-

He had a talent for handling weapons.

‘I don’t know what kind of strange body this is.’

Do Yu-jin let out a hollow laugh as she twirled the dagger in her hand.

It was absurd, but this was the key that could slightly alleviate the situation Do Yu-jin was facing right now.

‘The body is not used, only the dagger moves.’

By fixing the body, the physical talents are suppressed and only the two hands are moved.

It only uses weapon talent without allowing physical talent to interfere.

Separation and coordination of talents.

This was the answer that Do Yu-jin had found after fighting with herself for the past three hours.

“It feels like not only the hand but also the weapon is moving… … ”

Do Yu-jin continued to instill his own sub-style fighting style into his body and head.

Phew-

‘Looking at it this way, it was fortunate that a dagger and a gun were caught.’

If a weapon like a greatsword that requires all of one’s body’s strength to be used properly had been chosen as a talent, it would have been impossible to use tricks to get rid of it as a physical talent.

By the way, the traits that were entangled with the body were the same, but this was a bit more complicated.

For example, let’s say the trait is a baseball bat.

Then, when using the bat for its original purpose of hitting a baseball, it could be compensated for through its characteristics, allowing it to use its body and horsepower a little more freely.

But what if you wanted to use a baseball bat as a substitute for a hammer?

Or what if you swing your bat at a soccer ball instead of a baseball?

Phuong-

Suddenly, my body and magical powers went out of control.

‘I guess it’s because it’s an action that goes beyond the support range of the trait and falls entirely within the influence range of my talent.’

In summary, it meant that while it was difficult to move the body or magical power purely, moving it through characteristics was possible to some extent thanks to compensation.

ha-

Even thinking back, it was a body that wasn’t even funny.

‘But that doesn’t mean we can just be discouraged.’

I still don’t know how to run, but I’ve figured out how to walk.

So now all I had to do was practice walking as best I could.
