by fnovelpiaIn a daze, I was walking to the waiting room for successful candidates.
-This time you are my apostle.
I thought I could hear a voice from somewhere, but suddenly the hallway stretched further out like cheese.
In an instant, I was trapped in an infinitely long hallway.
“…What.”
I suddenly stopped walking.
Chukchuk, I heard a shout coming from behind.
“Who are you?”
As I ask, the barefoot woman stares at me.
“It’s bizarre.”
“Yes?”
“Do you already know me?”
Know.
When I got to that point, I couldn’t deny it.
Suddenly, a scene from a novel came to mind.
A scene where the main character faces his ‘god’ and receives advice on growth and future insights.
In the situation described at that time, similar phenomena occurred, such as time stopping or space changing freely.
‘Then that woman.’
Strangely enough, curiosity took precedence over caution.
That’s what Kim Seong-jin’s scene looks like.
I didn’t know that he just appeared as a super strong villain.
Details like this are refreshing.
For your information, they are called the gods or constellations of this world.
All of them are very deeply related to the abilities of the appropriate candidate.
Perhaps Lee Ha-neul, who was awakened at that time, also met a god whose magical powers were similar to hers.
“… .”
Suddenly, a woman came in front of me and looked at me curiously.
I also unintentionally started looking at her as if observing.
Skin as pale as ice.
Expressionless, as if he can’t feel any emotion at all.
Unusually, it is not a dress worn by Greek gods.
He was wearing a fuzzy hood.
“I’m curious.”
“…Yes?”
“I’m curious about you.”
-Chuck. Tsk.
As I stepped barefoot on the cold floor, the woman immediately touched my hand.
“He must be my apostle and faithful follower. It’s definitely different from them.”
“What.”
“You already know me. I still haven’t been caught up in my instincts.”
“Suddenly?”
“I wanted to meet you when I had the chance.”
opportunity.
I thought about the opportunity she was talking about by comparing it to Kim Seong-jin in the original.
That constellation tells me that I am not possessed by instinct.
So, didn’t the original owner of this body already exist in the story?
But even so, I remember talking to the main character in some scenes.
“The instinct I am talking about does not mean ‘reason.’ I’m talking about when you and I are completely ‘assimilated’.”
“A fairy tale, you mean.”
“Yes. From now on, you will be overwhelmed by countless impulses, and you will gradually lose yourself. Just me.”
The hand of that thing that was supposed to be a god was bitterly cold.
But for some reason, I don’t have the desire to shake off that hand or withdraw it.
I just had a faint wish to hold it like this for a long time.
“When we communicate even through simple conversations like this. When you and I can see each other as we really are. I just wanted to face it.”
“I’m sorry for getting directly involved in the apostle’s affairs. Still, nevertheless.”
“I wanted to tell you this while looking at you. Please, I hope it stays that way for a long time.”
The woman walks away from me.
Soon, the world I was trapped in began to move away, as if the camera that was capturing it was being pushed backwards.
I realized it too late.
It was I who was moving away.
“Ah.”
My body stumbles for a moment.
A haziness that remains in vivid sensations.
If I hadn’t seen the blood demon sticking its head out from beyond the crack, it would have been difficult to come to my senses.
-What?
“Crazy. Go in! Go in.”
When I scolded him as if to provoke a fight, he sullenly disappeared into thin air.
I quickly looked around. Fortunately, there was no one else there but me.
“Huh.”
Naturally, a feeling of helplessness ensues.
In the end, I didn’t find out anything, and I only heard ominous sounds rather than being eaten by my instincts.
And now the most important thing of all.
“What should I do?”
It is said that he passed the exam without much difficulty, receiving a passing grade.
I walked briskly, worried about the follow-up hit.
#
[Sum, sum, pass.]
There was silence in the situation room where the decision results were witnessed.
In it, Lee Ha-neul laughed. I just laughed.
“Hmph, how do you feel? Is there something? Our Seongjin?”
In fact, I was in a situation where I didn’t even know English.
In terms of the atmosphere, I think it was a victory for the person who used the ignorance shield.
I guess it was a good Haneul.
“…The ability wasn’t even revealed.”
“Are you saying there is no need for that?”
Several examiners exchange comments as if they find it interesting.
Unique code B-AT, also known as measuring instrument.
That biological machine has continued to develop with advanced technology.
Based on high-level AI, the combat power of each participant is measured, and success or failure is determined based on the results.
But this time the meter responded.
It was quite interesting to the examiners who had been emotionlessly checking the participants’ faces.
The behavior shown by the current participant was simple.
All I had to do was walk over and have a brief confrontation with the meter.
However, the measuring machine judged participant 571 to be a pass based on that action alone.
“The field measurement value must have been high.”
“The mana utilization is that good?”
“If talented people come out, it’s only good for us.”
The purpose of the existence of this artificial island.
It didn’t matter if it was a little unusual as long as it matched that.
However, I just hoped that the situation created by that man was not simply a ‘coincidence’.
If just detecting magic power is enough to pass.
Because participant number 571 will definitely be able to become an outstanding hero in the future.
“Anyway, I’m really curious about your abilities.”
“If he is at that level, he will be excellent in both combat and support.”
“If possible, it would be better if it was a combat-type ability.”
“Are you already applying saliva?”
Hehehe.
The examiners who paid attention to participant number 571 laughed meaningfully.
“… .”
Lee Ha-neul, who was listening quietly next to him, found the conversation disturbing for some reason.
“Definitely.”
And finally.
Park Min-wook, who was paying attention as if it were not true, reacts.
“My eyes were wrong.”
“…Hmph.”
Lee Ha-neul lowered the corners of her mouth and made a determined expression.
“By the way, number 39 is a close pull-up.”
Participant 39, So Ye-rin.
A woman who barely passed the exam due to her miserable appearance.
“I can’t believe my talented junior is struggling at this level.”
“Isn’t the foundation revealed?”
“…about that.”
It was barely a ‘slightly’ superior level among all the participants out there.
If you consider So Ye-rin’s background, ‘Academy’, it was a disastrous performance.
Some of the examiners openly laughed at her.
Another person, who could not hear, dissuades them.
However, no one could deny the look of crushing defeat that descended around So Ye-rin.
And that reality is.
This is the law that the person concerned feels best.
-Click.
At the treatment center attached to the waiting room for successful applicants.
So Ye-rin clenched her molars with a dark expression.
The excessive grip strength put a strain on my teeth.
That kind of thing can’t relieve So Ye-rin’s suppressed emotions.
I thought of that huge body that didn’t budge no matter how many times I attacked it.
So Ye-rin’s mind sank once again into the muddy swamp.
How did it fall to this level?
Even though he was once a talent competing for the top spot at the Academy.
The current So Ye-rin.
I am spending anxious days unable to even predict my future.
“Barely… even the occasional test.”
The brightness of the family I was proud of.
“Like this, barely… If I sat down.”
It had become a burden that she could no longer bear, weighing down Soyerin.
‘Don’t let the name ‘Epic’ fool you.’
The sight of the father speaking like that soon becomes a shackle, strangling So Ye-rin’s breathing.
I wanted to run away.
I have the urge to slowly sink into deep water, where no one recognizes me.
-Wow…
So Ye-rin, who buried her head in her knees, showed no sign of moving for a long time.
but.
“…Uh.”
Naturally, my eyes turn to the sound of popularity soon heard.
The man who happened to make eye contact with So Ye-rin looked at her in confusion.
“… .”
“Hello. See you again.”
And he greets me in an annoying tone.
So Ye-rin realized the cause of her negative emotions.
His clean appearance contrasts with his messy appearance.
That means he passed the test easily.
Even though So Ye-rin instinctively feels deep disgust at herself for comparing herself to him.
Suddenly, my curiosity was drawn to the man with the number 571.
How strong is it that he is so relaxed?
To So Ye-rin, what Kim Seong-jin looks like now.
It was a symbol of the power she so desperately wanted.
“…How.”
That’s why I opened my mouth as if I was possessed.
“Yes?”
“How. Just like that, just fine…”
I want you to know.
How to quickly become stronger.
However, So Ye-rin could not easily ask Kim Seong-jin a question.
It was because of her pride, which had been built up and firmly established.
“What? The sound is too quiet.”
And above all, for some reason, I don’t want to bow down to that man.
The desire for growth, rejection, and unreasonable pride were in a tight tug-of-war, and in the end.
“…No.”
So Yerin buried her head again and cut herself off from the world.
No, I pretended to be disconnected and acted indifferent.
‘If only I could reach it by chance.’
If you force mana to flow into that man’s body, you will be able to experience a portion of his strength.
This is a very unethical behavior at the Academy.
Although it was a taboo act that resulted in penalty points being imposed.
Isn’t this the academy?
So Ye-rin made up her mind in her heart.
“…Wow, where is the chill?”
As a result, Seongjin Kim’s body began to tremble as he felt chills of unknown origin.
“…Mr. Seongjin?”
And Lee Ha-neul also said his name, feeling an inexplicable sense of anxiety.
