57 – Clan Formation?(Complete)

Absorption of abilities.

Actually, I haven’t thought about it.

Because I was able to infer it to some extent through my actions before losing my memory and my fight with the monster.

However, it was a completely different feeling from expecting it and hearing it from someone else’s mouth.

‘Did I deliberately approach to absorb the ability?’

If you say that being close to them more than necessary is to absorb her abilities through physical contact, then her appearance makes sense.

If you want to make frequent physical contact with the opposite s*x, there will be no answer other than a romantic relationship or a love relationship.

Of course, if you absorb abilities and powers all at once, as in the case of Jihyun this time, there is no choice but to be caught, but if you take away little by little over a long period of time, there will be little chance of being caught.

‘I think I know why the Heuksanhoe faction fight was easily resolved.’

Distinguish internal spies, suppress them by force, and prevent rebellion.

If you had stolen Choi Seo-yoon’s telepathic ability, it wouldn’t have been difficult to read other people’s thoughts and emotions. If so, it would have been so easy to identify the spy, and with Jihyeon’s telekinesis and Ganghwaryeon’s physical strengthening ability, they wouldn’t have been able to stand up to the few talented people.

‘Help them, get a crush on them, contact them and absorb their abilities… ….’

I expected to some extent what I was thinking in the past. So it was a bit bittersweet. He must have approached them in order to use them in any form, but to think that he purposely fell in love with octopus feet in order to absorb her abilities and powers……

“It was strange when you think about it in the first place.”

Jihyun, who was wiping the cold sweat at the moment I was immersed in thoughts, suddenly raises her head and continues her words with a sonorous voice.

“Buffs and nerf abilities that can only be activated by touching the body…… It’s a bit peculiar.”

Jihyun pressed her trembling thighs and straightened her back.

It seems to have recovered to some extent.

Her dark eyes stare at me clearly.

I cast my gaze at Jihyun’s face.

“Absorb her abilities and powers, store them in her body, and transfer the stored powers to others to strengthen her abilities…… It seems that it can be used in many ways.”

I clenched my fists as I silently listened to Jihyun’s words.

With this ability, I can do it.

You can climb the tower.

“Why have you been mistaken for a supporter class until now? Blocking her abilities by contact…… Well, I don’t think it’s because of that.”

“Oh, that is.”

I scratched my temple with a shy expression at Jihyun’s sudden question.

“I think it was because of a technology called marking.”

“Marking?”

“Yes.”

I nodded her head calmly.

“It’s nothing…… It’s a skill I often use when fighting against people at the academy.”

“By the way?”

“Because if it touches the opponent’s body even once, it can continuously weaken the target’s power for several minutes.”

“What do you mean?”

Jihyun’s expression is a bit incomprehensible.

“So look.”

It is better to see it in person.

I carefully held Jihyun’s hand.

A marking was engraved on the back of her hand.

Then he took her hand away.

“Since I will be away, would you like to use your ability to float this coin?”

“Hmm.”

Jihyun took turns looking at the coin with me.

“Well, I got it for now.”

It was a slightly puzzled look, but without saying anything, he recited an affirmation and slowly used his telekinesis ability.

The coin that had been placed on the floor twitched and floated into the air.

But it seemed a little unsteady as it was staggering little by little.

I was swaying here and there like a drunken person, unable to catch my direction.

“Huh? Do you think your abilities have diminished?”

“Isn’t it?”

“What happened? You said you have to touch your body to activate your abilities?”

“I told you. It’s a technique called marking.”

I glanced at Jihyun’s hand that I had just held onto.

“Because I can leave a mark on her hand for a while. It’s only for a few minutes, but it can reduce the target’s power somewhat.”

“…… It’s kind of like a debuff ability.”

As if Jihyun had adapted to her marking ability, she naturally moved her coin onto her index finger and turned it around.

“Actually, I didn’t apply a debuff…… Did you absorb it?”

“Uh…… Do you think so now? At that time, of course, it must have been a nerf ability, but.”

“The technique of marking is not bad either. Although it cannot be completely absorbed as if it had been in contact with the body, it can interfere with the use of the opponent’s ability from a distance and absorb power.”

“In the past, that single physical contact was close to impossible.”

The ability can only be blocked by contacting the target, but it was too difficult to make contact once. Except for my debuff ability, I had almost no ability to protect myself.

“But is it possible now?”

Jihyun looks up at me with her grinning face.

“Because it even absorbed my abilities.”

Says confidently with a slightly triumphant voice.

That’s also true, Jihyun’s telekinesis ability is the best in name and reality.

Because it was powerful enough to turn Korea upside down while making a fuss about being a dragon in Gaecheon.

“Then shall we try an experiment?”

“An experiment?”

Jihyeon pointed to a place with her chin.

There was an empty can there.

He silently stared at the empty cans floating in the air. He used the power and ability he had absorbed from Jihyun to float that empty can. Of course, it wasn’t an intentional action, it was an act that was done unconsciously, but anyway, what I raised is an undeniable fact.

“Since you absorbed my ability, you should be able to use it to some extent, right?”

“Yes, but…… Are you okay?”

“Huh? What?”

“No, I was absorbed, but I don’t seem to be bothered much.”

“Oh, what else am I saying?”

Ji-hyeon smiles as if it is absurd.

“You idiot. Yes, it’s temporary. Are you still slowly recovering your strength? It doesn’t matter if you get absorbed.”

“Really?”

“So, for now, just think about your abilities. You can’t properly control your psychokinesis, right?”

“Yes.”

I nodded once.

Following the movement, the empty can also moved up and down.

Why is that again?

“It seems like you are controlling it unconsciously…… First of all, the simplest thing to do when it comes to using your abilities is to just use your strength as much as you can, right?”

“You can’t believe it?”

Jihyun gently grabbed my arm and moved it towards the empty can.

It looked like an arm was reaching for the can.

She sticks by my side and whispers.

“First of all, I have to learn the sense of using abilities…… Try bruising that can once.”

“I don’t think so.”

It’s something I’ve tried several times since I was at home.

I don’t know how to use the telekinesis ability.

Is this how it feels to touch a machine you’ve never seen without a manual?

I just accidentally pressed the power button.

I have absolutely no idea how to use it.

“I will help you, so give it a try.”

Jihyun grabbed my shoulders and arms and slowly raised his strength.

“Follow me as I lead.”

An intangible force passed through my arm.

Something that had been firmly suppressed was rising up.

An unknown power rose in the air like a gloomy haze.

“There is nothing difficult. Think in your mind Imagine grabbing a can with your hand.”

I followed Jihyun’s words.

“I will make some adjustments. You just think you’re pouring in your strength without thinking too hard. Just squish the can as hard as you can.”

As if her power was guiding me, I moved smoothly.

I raised Jihyun’s magic in the direction she was moving.

The intangible power created a wave that overflowed and suddenly flinched! And the can shook anxiously.

“Huh?”

“All right.”

The empty can shuddered in the air and began to distort.

“I don’t need to adjust my strength. Try a little harder.”

“Oh, uh. Okay.”

Hiding my bewildered mood, I used my telekinesis ability a little stronger, just as Jihyuni said.

Recalling that sensation from earlier, I applied force toward the can, and the shape of the can was bent even further.

“That feeling. Don’t forget.”

“Okay.”

“Okay. Then try some more.”

“… ….”

I obediently followed Jihyun’s words.

This sense of crushing a can from a distance.

It’s unfamiliar, but not bad.

“There is nothing difficult about the telekinetic ability. Because your ability is the extension of your arms and legs.”

As I listened to her, I applied very little pressure.

The can lost its original shape as it faded like a crumpled piece of paper.

“Okay, good job.”

“…… Ha. It’s a little tough.”

“Isn’t it? Does this require a lot of stamina?”

“…… Whoa.”

“Let’s go to sleep. Even if it’s hard, try harder. Try your best. I need to find out how far you can use it.”

It was not a good way to blindly pour power like this.

This is because a mistake could lead to a serious accident.

However, there is an S-Rank talent, Jihyun.

Even if something goes wrong, Jihyun will be able to stop it.

For that reason, I really tried my best to use my telekinesis ability.

“Write.”

Take a deep breath,

“Suck!”

Spit it out.

I activated my psychokinesis with the thought of grabbing that can with my intangible hand and twisting it according to the breathing method.

Then Quaang! With a clatter, the can could no longer be endured, and the meat was crushed and compressed into a round shape.

A very small lump of compressed cans fell down.

“Whoa… ….”

Sweat is dripping from my forehead before I know it.

Jihyun walked towards the can lump.

I touched the round compressed can once with my hand.

And then, using his telekinesis, he swung at me and threw it.

I reflexively grabbed the can.

“Not bad.”

Jihyun picked him up and smiled, shrugging his shoulders.

“Not bad.”

“Really?”

Hee-hee comes to you with a smiling face.

“If you refine it a little, it will be usable in real life, right?”

He pats me on the shoulder and compliments me.

“You can really climb the tower, Seo Jun.”

“Top… ….”

“Yes. I’m anxious because I haven’t been able to use my abilities properly yet, but if I work a little more, I’ll be able to get to the top floor.”

“Can I get to the top floor? Under.”

Suddenly, laughter broke out.

It seems like yesterday that I worked as a porter on the 1st and 2nd floors, let alone the top floor.

What? Top floor? She was a little hard to believe, but Jihyun wasn’t one to talk nonsense about things like this. As Jihyun said, if you refine this ability, you will definitely be able to climb to the top floor.

“Something doesn’t feel real.”

“You idiot. Don’t drink kimchi soup first. It is true that the range of use of your ability is high, but in the end you have to absorb the power of others, right?”

“Yes. It doesn’t.”

This is the biggest weakness of my ability.

Because I have to absorb other people’s abilities to show my performance.

As long as he couldn’t absorb the monster’s power, he needed the help of others.

I turned my head and looked at Jihyun.

“Your power is consumed. If you take a break like other abilities, you need to continuously absorb it, not recover naturally.”

“You don’t need to charge your phone to use it.”

“I don’t know why you compared it to a mobile phone, but it is.”

Jihyun stretches out his arms as if stretching himself.

“And you also have to see how far you can use the power you absorbed. After absorbing my power, isn’t this the limit for now?”

“…… That’s all.”

This is what he said, but considering Jihyun’s original strength, he naturally accepted it. She mashed, crushed, and crushed a monster the size of a house without incident, but it was a feat that I couldn’t possibly do now.

“Even if you absorb power, it doesn’t seem like you can use it all…… Well, this could be due to proficiency, but you need to keep learning about your abilities anyway.”

“Yes.”

While nodding my head, I quietly lifted the rolled up empty can using my telekinesis. I was a little lost because it was an unfamiliar sensation, but I was able to use my telekinetic ability.

‘That’s good.’

From noble mtl dot com

I smiled in my heart.

If you learn not only the telekinesis ability but also how to use the body strengthening ability, attacking the top floor of the tower will surely not be a dream.

‘By the way, who does this recovery ability belong to?’

Lee Ji-hyun’s telekinesis ability.

For strengthening the body, Ganghwaryun.

Then what about recovery ability?

…… To be honest, I was strangely attracted to that woman named Seongcheonnyeo.

I don’t know a thing about her, and I’ve only seen her on TV occasionally, but for some reason I couldn’t hide my uneasy feelings. Just thinking about her made her feel a little bad.

– Tiriling!

“Ah, I have a message. For a moment.”

Ji-hyeon checked her cell phone once, and suddenly she clawed at my face with a slight frown on her eyebrows.

She suddenly looks down at her phone and sends a quick reply.

“Who are you from?”

“Ah. It’s nothing, don’t worry about it.”

I was more concerned with saying that, but it’s gone now.

“By the way, Seo Jun-ah.”

“Yes.”

“You said that in addition to telekinesis, you also have the ability to strengthen your body.”

“Huh?”

What are you talking about out of the blue?

Jihyun approached me with a smile.

But the corners of her eyes are only raised.

Her lips were tightly shut.

“You have to make physical contact to absorb powers, right?” “Right.”

I could guess what Jihyun was trying to say.

“From what I heard from Mina, it seems that her ability to strengthen her body was also quite strong.”

Jihyun took a step closer to me.

“As far as I know, there is only one person with strong body enhancement abilities around you.”

She was right in front of her nose.

“Hwaryeon Kang, right?”

“… ….”

“Our Seojun…… What really happened, did she even absorb Hwaryeoni’s ability?”

“… ….”

Jihyun smiles.

“Oh no.”

Clap, clap your hands and shine as if you forgot.

“Right. Did you even have the ability to recover?”

Thin eyebrows are rising straight up.

“Those with recovery abilities are rare… …. How did he get his recovery ability? Are you really curious?”

Jihyun’s smile grew thicker and thicker.

A dull shadow dwells in his dark eyes.

Wherever he looked at it, Jihyun’s eyes reminded him of a far-off cliff bottom.

“Okay.”

In that situation, I gave a vague answer and shrugged my shoulders.

“How do you think he got his body strengthening ability and recovery ability?”

“You?”

As if not expecting such a reaction, Jihyun hardened her face slightly.

Ji-hyeon didn’t set the mood to ask what kind of relationship I had with Ganghwa-ryun, but purposely put pressure on him to take the lead in the relationship.

Using this as an excuse, she seemed to want to gain a little upper hand in the relationship between me, Yerin Ryu, and her own.

That way it’s easier to keep Yerin in check.

“Jihyun-ah. It sounds a little out of the blue, but…… Do you know what I was scouted by the Sephiroth?”

“What?”

It was a bit of a surprise.

Crossed her arms as she frowned mercilessly.

She reacts with a very unappealing face.

“No, wait a minute. Really?”

“That’s right. Look at this.”

It was an abrupt change of topic, but Ji-hyeon passed over easily. Is it because she is also the clan she belonged to?

“She got a call from the head of the 1st HR team asking to meet her. See the call log here?”

“… ….”

Ji-hyeon glanced at the phone number of the HR team leader written on the phone log.

She seemed to have a vague idea of the phone number of the human resources manager.

“Uzabel…… Is that person?”

“Yes.”

I couldn’t tell if she was a scout or if she was thanking her for saving Jumina, but since she was the head of the personnel team, a gentleman came to see her face, so the scout offer was probably correct.

Or both.

“Sefirot Clan is a conglomerate, so I’m a bit worried.”

Jihyun’s eyebrows trembled at the shameless joke.

“Here, the clan leader is pressuring me. Wouldn’t it be better to just go to Sephiroth at this point? What do you think about it?”

When I glanced at Ji-hyeon’s face, she clearly saw Ji-hyeon’s face staring at me with a dry expression.

“I think I can live on my own enough now, so I don’t really need to join your clan. Is not it?”

“… ….”

It was a shameless provocation.

Jihyeon clamped her mouth shut.

Looking at the reaction, should we stop here?

She seems to have clearly conveyed the meaning that she can bounce if she keeps pressing.

“Just kidding. Jihyun.”

“… ….”

“That’s why I’m strangely jealous…… Uh?”

“…… Hey. Seojun Han.”

Suddenly, Jihyun grabs my collar.

Her unexpected behavior is very embarrassing.

No, why is he like this?

Is it too provocative?

“Jihyun?”

“You are the one who needslessly provokes me.”

Ji-hyeon covered her lips with those words.

“Oh, suck?”

I couldn’t respond because it was a matter of ignorance.

A soft touch covered her lips.

She couldn’t control her surprise, so she just kept her eyes wide open.

“…… Faha! Huh. Seojun Han.”

Before I knew it, Jihyun took her lips off.

She smacks and steals her own lips.

She looks at me with deep eyes.

“You. Just jokingly say something else about going somewhere else.”

Both cheeks were red, and eyebrows trembled.

“Because I’m really sure, I’m going to eat you.”

Jihyun kissed her lips again with those words…….

“Ah.”

“…… ?”

It was then.

The sound of something falling was heard along with someone’s exclamation.

I reflexively turned my head toward the source of the sound, but messages from the dropped cell phone came into my eyes one after another.

– Senior. Arrived. Where are you?

– Me? It’s in the underground fighting room. I’m with Seojun, so come quickly.

Text messages that someone exchanges with Jihyun.

I slowly raised my head.

There was only one person who could call Jihyun a senior.

“…… Senior? Mr. Seojun?”

“Ah…… Yoona Seo. I’m here?”

Jihyun slightly parted her lips.

A thin solid line stretches between the lips and then suddenly breaks off.

At that sight, Seoyoon Choi’s pupils trembled.

“…… What are you two doing now?”

“Oh, sorry. I kept it a secret until now. Are you going to get caught like this?”

In front of the meeting room door.

“I can’t do anything like this. Isn’t that right, Seojun?”

Jihyun doesn’t look at me, but grins while wiping her lips with the back of her hand.

“Actually, me and Seojun…… We are dating each other.”
