71 – Illusion Terror Incident – 8

“ah! Yoo Soo-ah!”

Nayeon, who was walking around the scene in all directions, found Sua and hurriedly approached her.

Sua, who was running to the gym, stopped walking, and Hye-seo, who was running next to her, also stopped.

Nayeon looks at Hyeseo as if wondering.

He seemed to know that he was a diamond-level holder and the head of the investigation team of the Monster Management Bureau.

“Ah, Professor Park Na-yeon… !?”

However, he turned his attention to Sua’s answer.

It’s not too late to ask questions after finding my exclusive disciple.

“Have you seen Han Tae-jin?”

nervous question.

It was a nervous question that made me want to lose my exclusive disciple.

And in response to that question, Sua’s gaze naturally goes to the gym.

It was an uneasy look.

Nayeon followed his gaze and soon saw the gym.

“gym… ? There will be no one there… !?”

No one was there, but Nayeon, who was about to say that, ended with a question.

There is no one, because that means anyone can be.

Thinking so, Nayeon rushes out.

Soon after, Sua and Hyeseo followed suit.

‘please… May you be safe!’

Whatever has unfolded by now will have been captured.

Whether the capture direction is positive or negative is something that even multi-time regressors can never know.

Please, Soo-ah runs, hoping that the 52nd missionary will be safe, and Na-yeon, who runs, hoping that her exclusive disciple will be safe.

And Hye-seo runs, hoping that her senior, Han Chang-ho, is safe.

The three of them, who were running with the same but different thoughts and worries, eventually entered the gym.

– Jump!

“… !”

“… ?”

“… !?”

The inside of the gym is as quiet as death, and cold as if a severe cold dwells there.

The chilly air and foreign mana tightened the three’s skin. And in it, one villain, Han Tae-jin and Choi Do-han, fell.

In Sua’s gaze, Choi Do-han is gushing blood like a fountain, and in Na-yeon’s gaze, Han Tae-jin is performing the ‘electronic projection’ that she has not yet awakened to.

And in Hyeseo’s gaze, Locke was caught lying on the floor.

“this… .”

“what… .”

An unbelievable sight to see.

Soo-ah couldn’t help but be shocked by Han Tae-jin killing Choi Do-han, Na-yeon couldn’t help but be shocked by Tae-jin casting her ultimate technique, and Hye-seo couldn’t help but be shocked by Han Chang-ho, who seemed dead.

“Stop, senior-!!”

The first person to wake up from the shock was Hye-seo.

In her eyes, she couldn’t see Han Tae-jin, who was burning red eyes and mana, or Choi Do-han, who was falling down with red blood.

Hye-seo bounces off like a spring.

At that scream-like cry, Sua and Nayeon raised questions.

“… senior?”

“What?”

Because the only existence that diamond level holders can call ‘senpai’ is a fallen villain.

The rushing direction was also that way.

However.

– Kaang!

Hye-seo was thrown back to her place by Tae-jin, who swung a dagger in the way.

“Kuhup?!”

-Kooung!

Hye-seo crashes into the wall next to the doorway.

The impact was so strong that the wall caved in.

I hadn’t even seen Han Tae-jin attack.

It blocked the dagger with an instinctive movement based on animal senses.

If I had really been 0.1 second late, I would have had my throat cut by now.

Hye-seo grabbed the scruff of her neck and stood up.

“Gwa, are you okay?”

Sua approaches and quickly casts [Heal].

Even to her, Taejin’s attack just now was terrifying.

Fortunately, there were no major injuries.

The magic bullet that blocked the dagger was just distorted.

“sh*t… ! That bastard!!”

“Back off.”

Hye-seo threw away the magic bullet and drew out her sword, but Na-yeon stood in the way.

Before I knew it, Nayeon was also in the state of pulling out her sword.

You know that the situation is not good.

‘Did I fall into an overhead state again?’

Her eyes were only on Taejin.

I’ve seen him kill Choi Do-han using the [Electrification method].

However, given the unpleasant mana felt from Choi Do-han and the two eyes that were glazed over, it seemed to be contaminated with black magic, so I decided to leave it out of the discussion.

The problem is Han Tae-jin’s condition.

It was something strange to see as a simple overhead.

Normally, when you fall into an overhead state, only the whites of your eyes are visible. But Taejin’s eyes are all red. On top of that, the red-hot magic power was enough to send chills down the spine of even the S-class himself.

It is a fact known to all hunters that their stats increase slightly when entering the overhead state.

However, the current Taejin was not a slight, but not a large one, as if a ‘broad’ rise had taken place.

Unbelievable level.

In particular, Nayeon knew that Kim Hye-seo’s holder was a diamond grade.

Even if she had been attacked by surprise, it would have made no sense for her to be flung helplessly and landed on a wall.

At least, if it was Han Tae-jin’s attack, which he knew.

A diamond-class holder is an existence with more power than an A-class hunter. That she was thrown and flew away like a punching bag is impossible even for Taejin, who has entered an overhead state.

It seemed that something unusual was happening to my exclusive disciple.

‘Dangerous.’

It wasn’t a warning to himself.

It was a warning to Taejin.

Anything more than overhead, not yet reported to academia, was obviously dangerous.

Leaving the aftereffects and possibly losing your life.

That’s why Nayeon radiated the maximum amount of mana available.

Taejin had to be stopped even if he broke his limbs.

If I left the gym in that state, there would be a massacre. In order to prevent that disaster, I had to personally defeat my exclusive disciple.

-Grrruk… .

He had already completely lost his reason, and the sound of the beast was coming out of his mouth.

Its red eyes shine like those of a beast, and it glares at its prey.

It was truly a creepy glare.

Even she, an S-class hunter, has never seen the light in her eyes.

The light in his eyes reminds me of the first time I met a giant monster when I was a beginner.

It was a terrifying memory.

Nayeon tensed her muscles and lowered her posture.

And pointed the tip of the sword.

To my former disciple.

“Come on. Our exclusive disciple Shikya.”

A mighty blue flame rising from Nayeon’s body.

A mighty red flame rising from Taejin’s body.

“Big… !”

The confrontation did not last long, and soon the blue and red flames collided head-on.

– Quaang!

-Whoop-!

-Pajijik-!

At the same time as the collision, the electric current generated by the strong friction burns the atmosphere and a destructive magical wind sweeps away the surrounding area.

It was a huge magical wind that even Hye-seo, a diamond-level holder, and Su-a, a planet savior, could not see ahead.

what…

Why is it so noisy…?

“Um… .”

I barely opened my eyes to the sound of the system ringing and knocking on my ear.

However, the dimly opened vision is all hazy.

It feels like being trapped in a thick fog.

All I could see in my blurry vision was the ceiling covered in white.

It’s a strange ceiling.

No, it seems like something familiar.

I do not know.

Right now, the feeling of just waking up from a long dream was dominated by refreshing and hazy feelings.

I must have been lying down for a long time, and my body was also tired.

I can’t remember since I activated the attribute [Overhead Max].

not even one.

First of all, if I’m alive, it must be that he’s dead.

Or at least he’ll become a half asshole.

Even if I don’t remember it, a vague afterimage remains, like when I was drunk.

In the afterimage, for some reason, I could see blood fountains.

Even the blurry afterimages ended with the fountain of blood.

And I don’t really know what happened after that.

‘please… I shouldn’t have been fooling around… .’

It is the same anxiety as waking up from a sleep endoscopy. No, it’s a deeper anxiety.

Sleep endoscopy would talk nonsense, but at that time, I would have done that nonsense myself.

“Um… .”

He groaned again and closed his eyes.

vision gradually becoming clearer.

The body did not move.

I turned my head to the side.

“uh… ?”

what.

My eyes were wide open.

Am I looking at something in vain?

No, that’s definitely… .

“teacher… sir?”

Isn’t it our teacher Park Na-yeon?

She had black bobbed hair like a knife and a face like a female cat with a sharp profile.

It’s definitely Park Nayeon.

‘Why is Park Na-yeon lying down… ?’

It was clear at first glance that he was not asleep.

Because I was wearing a patient gown.

Besides, as if he was injured, he had an injection stuck in the back of his hand.

In the Illusion Terror Incident, the most powerful being was only ‘De Roque’.

There has never been a villain strong enough to knock an S-class Hunter into a hospital bed.

But, what happened… ?

“Ugh.”

When you try to deepen your thoughts, your brain immediately rejects them.

I think there was [mental pollution] among the penalties earlier, but it seemed to be the aftermath of the aftermath.

Well, I wasn’t seriously hurt anyway.

There didn’t seem to be any major trauma.

After waking up, he decided to ask in detail.

Right now, even my voice couldn’t come out properly, and it was hard to lift a finger.

And what, could I have done that?

…isn’t it?

It honestly makes no sense to put an S-class Hunter in a hospital bed just because the Overhead Max attribute was activated.

‘Then I beat Rachel too.’

Of course, one S-class hunter is a force that cannot be compared to God Rachel.

anyway.

‘Status window.’

I decided to open the status window that I hadn’t checked before.

‘Wow… , I heard that the decrease in stats is alleviated while sleeping, but is it still this much?’

[▼Strength: 110(+1)] [▼Agility: 113] [▼Magic Power: 94]

[▼Stamina: 88] [Luck: 66] [▼Stamina: 97]

All stats except Luck were cut in half.

Of course, over time, it will fully recover, but with one overhead max activation, the stats are temporarily cut in half.

It will be reinstated sooner or later, but it certainly doesn’t seem like a feature I’ll use often.

There is nothing special about the characteristics and skill windows… .

‘Isn’t it? what?’

A new skill appeared in the skill window.

That is [total photometry (Lv1)].

‘When is this… ?’

Of course I couldn’t remember.

In the first place, I don’t remember using the electroluminescence method itself.

You can ask Master about this too.

Anyway, the most important thing.

[Hidden Information ▼]

[Level up with Harem!]

[You can register a target with a favorability of 1 or higher in the encyclopedia, and if you reach the MAX value of the registered target’s favorability, you can have a powerful stat increase effect, and you can copy one of the target’s skills.]

[Read the encyclopedia]

‘nice… .’

Really hidden information has been revealed.

How f*cking hard they worked to reveal this hidden information.

[Level up to Harem!] The hidden information obtained while fighting to the death with the original protagonist is so thrilled that I feel like I have to shed tears.

Well, then.

Perhaps the opening of the status window was the trigger, and the system voice came again.

– Tiring.

‘What, is there a penalty that hasn’t been lifted yet?’

But my guess was lightly dismissed.

the system is right.

[There are rewards you haven’t selected yet.]

‘What?’

Because it was an unexpected reward selection system.

[Do you want to choose now?]

‘Everything, of course, right?’

[Unselected rewards are activated.]

However, there are rewards to choose from… ?

Wasn’t there anything like this in the original?

[Hidden Peace: You have completed ‘Wow, when I am possessed, the real main character chews and eats, eats’.]

Yes?

That… The day I was possessed, I muttered to myself… ?

Remember wisely.

Not a single mistake, the same thing.

As soon as I said those words and fell asleep, I was possessed.

But, did you put it in Hidden Peace?

[As a reward, you can select and duplicate 1 [Rune], [Attribute], and [Skill] of target ‘Dohan Choi’.]

no, wait.

You said you would give each of the runes, traits, and skills that the original protagonist possessed?

He must have some great runes, talents and skills?

What is it, Dohan Choi?

I’m sorry, but you… you were a golden goblin… ?
