“Uh, no.”

The bean pod, with its beautiful appearance and fluid movements, lasted for exactly 5 seconds and then disappeared.

My judgment, which had regained my cool, instantly drove me to the edge of a cliff and eliminated my previous thoughts.

“There are a lot more things I regret than I thought.”

Judgment is good, dodging with minimal movement is good, and sharp stabbing attacks are good, but at the same time, they are all disappointing.

The woman fighting the tentacled monster is a so-called genius.

Among them, there are those whose talent is so outstanding that they can solve everything with just that.

A heavenly mistake that sticks out even when geniuses are gathered together, making ordinary people feel a wall and making them realize with a bone-tingling sense that human beings are born unfair.

They have one thing in common.

Instead of being able to wield the talent he has, he is instead swayed by it.

The woman in front of me right now is a typical example.

Watching the battle, which at first glance appears to be going on easily, makes me feel frustrated.

“It’s going to take a long time like that.”

If you just look at the way things unfold, it is true that the women’s side is extremely dominant.

The monster’s pride, its tentacles, cannot reach even a single stem, and on the contrary, they are often cut off by the extended sword.

It would not be strange if the tentacle monster’s head fell off right away.

However, he has the physical characteristics to nullify such a woman’s dominance.

“Wheeyu, the playback speed is amazing.”

The amazing regeneration speed is such that a cut off tentacle can grow back in less than 10 seconds.

That is making the current situation a century old.

By the time the woman has cut off all the tentacles and is about to advance to cut down the main body, the tentacles that have grown again are pouring out in all directions as she closes the distance.

“Tsk… !”

A repetition of the situation in which the woman, feeling burdened by this, takes the steps she had barely taken back.

There are two ways to overcome this sluggish situation.

Crush the guy with overwhelming force, or take the risk and jump forward in a stressful situation a little while ago and cut off the guy’s body.

If the former was possible, I would have done it a long time ago, and the latter… It’s harder to choose than you think.

The elegant people called geniuses rarely come up with bold moves like the Yukchamgoldan.

“It’s a shame, it’s a shame.”

Tsk tsk.

The more I look at it, the more I feel regretful.

No, if you have that kind of talent, you should think about honing it. Why on earth do you want to use it in its crude rough form?

“I don’t understand this, really.”

But this is just my position, and their positions may be different.

Actually, I think it’s not unreasonable for someone with that level of talent to be extremely arrogant.

You will be able to learn what others have learned hundreds of times in just one or two sessions, and if you do that, people around you will praise you and say you are the genius of the century, and you will be blown away.

Hearing the admiration of others is scarier than you think.

Sometimes it gives you stronger pleasure and addiction than drugs.

Is it for no reason that people are obsessed with fame and fame?

It’s all for that reason.

“I think if I just teach for two years, I’ll come up with something decent…” .”

When I look at her, I get hungry without even realizing it.

I really think that if you keep him around for two years and teach him, you can create a monster that can chew up all the existing hunters.

“Well, that won’t happen.”

I thought about this because I felt sorry for my talent, but I really would never have to teach that woman.

Isn’t it possible to tell just by looking at the dress and mask worn during the face-to-face ceremony?

The fact that she is my competition.

Teaching someone who might one day become your enemy? That’s crazy.

“If you look at it that way, it actually seems like a good thing… .”

The current situation, where I am struggling with a talent that has not fully blossomed, is actually good news for me.

Instead of being a cowardly idiot, you can politely offer her cooperation.

During the battle, I occasionally make eye contact with her as she glances towards me with a wary look in her eyes.

“hey.”

“… … ?”

“I offer you cooperation.”

I propose cooperation in a cool-headed tone that is as uncharacteristic of myself as possible.

Normally, we would have had to argue with each other for a while and then let the other person, who was tired of trying, make the first suggestion, but as the situation is now… .

“no.”

I was rejected.

… Well, it’s okay.

Because it was already expected.

If things turn out uncooperative like this, there is nothing we can do.

“after… , you are the one who rejected the offer made in good faith. So don’t blame me.”

There is no choice but to change the object of your hand.

「Fire Missile.」 x10

After creating ten fire missiles, he immediately started shooting them at the woman who was playing with the tentacles.

“hot!?”

Oh, I really like the talent.

The woman, who had easily dodged the ten magic bullets added by surprise, glared sharply and argued.

“What are you doing now?”

It looks like they still haven’t figured out the situation.

“I decided to join forces with the tentacle monster to get rid of you.”

“… … .”

There are people I can hold hands with other than you.

Originally, it would have been absurd to join hands with monsters, but now it is possible.

Why?

Because that woman is pulling all the aggro from the monsters.

All I have to do is sneakily attack him with magic from behind.

「Ice Missile.」 x20

Just as they were about to fire twenty ice missiles, twice as many as before.

“Now, wait a minute.”

This time, the other party tries to request a conversation first.

I ignored it and just threw twenty ice missiles.

“Huh… !”

The beautiful appearance falls apart.

The woman barely managed to avoid the attack by tap dancing while wearing a pretty dress.

This is a little surprising.

I thought twenty ice missiles and my friend Moist’s tentacles would be enough, but I never thought I could dodge them all.

It looks like his talent exceeds what I expected.

If that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do.

“Then 30 shots this time… .”

“Now, wait! “Let’s talk for a moment!”

The magic stops appearing due to the urgent tone of voice and hand gestures.

“You just coldly refused, but then suddenly you started talking… .”

As I stroked my chin as if I was thinking about it, the woman continued speaking urgently.

“Joe, I apologize for what happened a little while ago.”

Well, since he even apologized, let’s just take it in this light for now.

“So what do you have to say?”

A window for dialogue that was barely opened.

The woman leisurely cut off all the tentacles, took a breath, and spoke to me.

“… “I offer you cooperation.”

The words I said a moment ago came back intact.

“Wrong.”

I haven’t come to my senses yet.

Completes the manifestation of magic that had been postponed for a while.

「Fire Missile.」 x30

Grumble!

“What do you mean by time? Obviously you suggested it first… .”

“And you said no.”

At that time, the initiative was 50/50, and now anyone can see that it has been taken over by me. How dare you try to challenge me?

How important is leadership in human relationships, huh?!

Out of shame, he fired his magic mercilessly.

“Ugh!”

Every time a flame flickers in the air, my posture becomes disturbed.

The woman’s sad performance art began before my eyes.

“oh.”

I am amazed at the way they dodge attacks that seem almost to hit or not.

Normally, when your posture breaks, you get distracted and there are gaps, but she is not allowing even that small gap.

This is an art that can only be achieved by demonstrating outstanding talent and a high degree of concentration.

If I had met him when he was Son Si-woo, here I have met a talent that I would want to recruit even if it meant giving him a contract deposit of 10 billion won.

In the end, the woman who had dodged all 30 fire missiles stared at me with a murderous gaze.

“What are we going to do now?”

“well.”

How should I express this now?

“A bit of a coercive negotiation… “I think it would be appropriate to express it like this.”

The woman, who flinched for a moment at the word coercive, soon softened her tone further.

“… “Tell me what you want.”

A woman who comes in with her head down as much as her eyebrows.

But that’s not enough.

“If there’s anything you want in this situation, I think it’s you, not me.”

The eyes behind the mask are distorted.

It seems that only then did he realize what I wanted.

“under. It looks like they’re going to use this situation to force me to bow down, but that’s absolutely not going to happen… !”

“Oh yeah.”

If things keep going that way, we have no choice but to enter into final negotiations.

「Fire Ball.」 x50

Instead of powerful high-level magic as a bargaining chip, he placed countless beginner magic on his back.

There’s nothing better than quantity when it comes to scaring people.

Although it is only a beginner magic, about 50 fire balls have destructive power that cannot be ignored.

When she saw this, the sword that was tightly held in her hand fell apart for an instant.

I finally asked.

“Do you want to bow down or die?”

Should I bow down now?
