66 – Do you want to eat ramen?(1)

Clan house training room.

Even though construction was in full swing throughout the building, the training room was ready for use in advance.

The inside of the training room boasted a scale of over hundreds of pyeong and was full of numerous training equipment and tools.

To be honest, it seemed much better than the academy’s training room.

It seems that Jihyun spent a lot of money on the training room.

‘It’s quite late.’

I looked up at the darkening sky.

The sky was getting darker. The red sunset settled down and the darkness spread like thick ink.

Soon, darkness will occupy the son-in-law.

‘Has it already been like this?’

When I checked the time on my phone, I could see that it was 8:00 PM.

I didn’t notice the time passing because I had been frantically repeating psychokinesis control training since the morning.

‘Should I say Jihyun’s telekinesis ability? It’s powerful.’

Originally, I didn’t have any psychokinesis ability, but I was able to take away some of Jihyeon’s telekinesis ability by using my absorption ability.

Because I can absorb, store, and use the powers of others.

Thus, by absorbing Jihyun’s ability, he can use his telekinesis ability semi-permanently. In short, Jihyun served as a kind of charger.

Thanks to that, I was able to practice my psychokinesis all day long.

“Ah! Good work, sir.”

Yerin, who was staying with me in the training room, glanced at me and realized that the training was over, and she often walked closer.

Currently, there were only two people in the training room, me and Yerin.

It was a bit disappointing that there were only two of them in this spacious training room, but Jihyun and Seoyoon didn’t show up in the training room well, probably because they were busy in many ways.

It only briefly illuminates its face when absorbing abilities.

Looks like there’s a lot to do.

“Teacher, are you thirsty?”

Yerin handed her an ion drink with her gentle smile. She wondered where she got it from, but suddenly she realized that she had pulled it from a vending machine installed near the training room.

“Thank you Yerin.”

“It’s nothing, sir.”

After briefly but surely thanking her, Yerin blushed a little and waved her hand. She soon rubs the sports towel over her neck.

“By the way, that was great sir.”

“Huh?”

As she was taking a sip of her drink, Yerin, who was standing next to her, glanced at her, and she immediately expressed her surprise.

“It’s only been a few days, but you’ve been able to control her telekinesis quite a bit.”

“Oh, that one?”

I nodded. Every time the memories of the past came back little by little, the control of the psychokinesis ability was getting better and better. It seemed that he used his telekinesis ability well before losing his memory. Perhaps the body remembers how to use telekinesis.

“If you keep practicing like this, attacking the tower won’t be a dream, sir.”

“Yes.”

As Yerin said, the attack to the tower is not far away.

I’m not joking, for real.

In the past, she would have had no choice but to dismiss it as a mere delusion, but not at all now.

That’s because the telekinesis ability he absorbed from Jihyun was really strong.

Of course, like Jihyun, she wasn’t as strong as S rank, but she had at least B to A rank power.

For now, this is enough.

Because you can climb the tower with only B-rank and A-rank psychokinesis.

Also, I can use many abilities except for the telekinesis ability.

Choi Seo-yoon’s freezing and mental abilities.

Ganghwaryun’s ability to strengthen the body.

If the day comes when I can use the rest of my abilities together, I might really be able to attack the top floor.

‘What…… Let’s not drink kimchi soup first.’

I shook my head.

I only thought in a positive way.

Because delusion and reality are different.

Did you say that it was often overpaid?

Unbefitting of the topic, numerous abilities are stored inside its body.

Hunters usually hone their strength for a long time in order to use their abilities well. That’s because you have to handle it delicately. Jihyun also said that at first, she couldn’t lift the egg with her psychokinesis, so she often broke it.

It is not good to be greedy for other abilities when you have not yet been able to use any of your psychokinesis abilities properly.

Don’t think too hastily, take one step at a time.

Currently, it’s too much with just the telekinesis ability.

First of all, let’s start using the other abilities slowly after mastering them to some extent, starting with the wide-ranging telekinesis ability.

“Yerin.”

“Yes.”

“Thanks for helping me train today.”

“I’m glad I was helpful.”

Yerin smiled shyly and scratched her cheek.

“But Yerin didn’t know you would join Jihyunie’s clan.”

“Ah.”

Ability is second to none, and I don’t get along well with Jihyun.

From Ji-hyeon’s point of view, Ye-rin must have been very uncomfortable, but somehow she accepted Ye-rin as a member of her clan.

“She knows her sister doesn’t like verse very much, but aside from that, I’m pretty useful.”

“Useful…… That’s not wrong.”

I chewed on Yerin’s words once.

She is already a D-rank hunter.

It can be said that the future is good enough.

Because a normal hunter ends her life at D rank.

As a joke, F-rank, E-rank, and D-rank hunters are called deep-sea fish.

If you are a hunter who has graduated from the academy, you can reach the D rank of dogs or cows.

Under the premise of endless effort, of course.

D-Rank is what is often said to be the limit of a criminal.

So, among the hunters, it is the D-rank hunters that occupy the most distribution.

‘But it’s different from C rank.’

From C rank, it is the realm of talent.

You can never reach it through hard work alone.

Whether you have a natural talent for martial arts, an excellent aptitude for magic, or awaken powerful abilities.

You must have at least one of these three talents to be able to step into the C rank.

But ordinary people have nothing to do with it.

‘From my point of view, Yerin seems to have excellent martial arts talent.’

Considering Yerin’s inaction so far, it seemed that she could become a C-rank hunter. She was strong even without Yerin using her powers. To be honest, she thought she was stronger than Joo Mina, a D-rank hunter like Yerin.

Jumina doesn’t have a martial art, but Yerin has it.

“Teacher.”

“Why is that?”

One day, Yerin came to my side.

“Teacher, will you continue to challenge the tower?”

“I guess so.”

I slowly nodded in affirmation.

Because conquering the tower was my lifelong goal.

The reason Jihyeon, Seoyoon, and Yerin are straddling three legs was to attack the tower and change the future in their dreams.

I will definitely attack the tower someday.

“If you keep climbing the tower, you will reach the top floor one day.”

If I use my abilities well, I’m sure I’ll be able to reach the top floor.

“Then wouldn’t you need someone useful by your side?”

Yerin glanced at her mouth and lifted her tail.

“There is a fact that I do not tell the teacher.”

“What?”

“Until now, I didn’t tell the teacher that it would be burdensome, but in fact, I’m much more useful than the teacher thought.”

“What do you mean?”

When I asked with an incomprehensible expression, frowning at her, Yerin quietly drew in her breath, and then she moved her lips.

“Teacher, did you know that my awakening ability is ‘cutting’?”

Cutting ability is the power that enhances the cutting power and durability of blades.

Some cutters can cut rock and cast iron with a paper knife.

There was a downside that close combat was forced, but the fact that it is a pretty good ability cannot be denied.

“Actually, it is not my awakening cutting ability.”

I frowned. It was hard for her to believe Yerin’s words. That would be the case, and when Yerin came to her house, she saw that she was clearly using her cutting powers. Could it be that what she used at that time was not the cutting ability, but a slightly different ability?

“It’s a slightly different ability from the cutting ability.”

“Do you think this ability is great enough to be hidden on purpose?”

“Ah.”

Yerin lowered the corners of her eyes and began to watch her carefully.

I guess my words sounded sarcastic.

I made a mistake.

“Because it’s a skill that won’t do much good if it’s known to others.”

Ability that is difficult to find out?

“Is that why you hid it?”

“There are things like that, but as I said before, there are things like that in case the teacher thinks of me as a burden.”

“Do you hide your abilities just because of that?”

“It’s not just that, sir.”

She shook her head with a slightly forlorn expression. Her hair fluttered in waves from side to side. Yerin stared at her face and said firmly.

“For me, being by the teacher’s side is very important.”

“… ….”

I met Yerin’s eyes.

Her red eyes shone low.

“Is it because I don’t think I will feel burdened now that I am revealing this now?”

“Yes. Because the teacher absorbed the abilities of Jihyeon and Seoyoon. Now you won’t be burdened with my ability. Also, you have to absorb my ability, right?”

“What is your ability?”

“You’ll probably find it quite useful. It’s a different kind of ability from what you absorbed so far.”

A different type of ability?

Having said that made me curious.

“Are you curious?”

“Something?”

Yerin smiled.

“I’ll tell you later.”

“What?”

I am dumbfounded by Yerin’s sudden words.

“What is it? Did you tell me this far?”

“Because I want to show it in real life. I heard you’re climbing the tower recently? I’ll show you then.”

“Ah, I’m curious.”

“If you are really curious, you can’t. I will tell you now.”

I shook my head left and right at the sight of Yerin looking a little sad.

“No, it’s okay. Like you said, show me later when you get to the top.”

“Are you okay?”

“In the first place, it’s a violation of manners to carelessly question her abilities. Do as you please.”

“Thank you, sir. Actually, my ability is a little vague to explain, so it’s a little like that when I’m not actually in combat.”

After I finished my canned soda, I tossed it into the trash can.

“Okay. Shall we go back soon?”

“Oh, yes. Teacher. Thank you for your hard work today.”

“You suffered too.”

I simply washed my body in the shower room installed inside the training room and went outside. I felt uncomfortable because of the sweat I shed during training, but I felt good after I washed it like this.

“Yerin. Did you wash everything?”

“Yes sir. Then I will go first.”

“Where are you going first?”

“Yes?”

Yerin tilted her head.

“I’ll take you there.”

“Teacher?”

“Yes. You are also my girlfriend by name.”

“Ah, that is right. Really. Girl friend… ….”

Perhaps she didn’t know how to say it so directly, Yerin was flustered with a rather embarrassed face.

“That’s okay, it’s okay, sir. You are tired today. You can’t cause trouble because of me…….”

“What is it? You don’t like me taking you away?”

“No, it’s not like that.”

“Or just get in the car.”

She came down to the parking lot before she knew it.

I opened the back door for her and urged her to ride.

Yerin hesitated for a moment, then she nodded her head once, as if she had made up her mind.

“Then…… Excuse me.”

I glanced at Yerin as she quietly climbed into her back seat, and suddenly I sat in the driver’s seat and started the engine.

“By the way, Yerin.”

“Oh, yes. Teacher. Please speak.”

“I heard you live with Mina?”

“Did you know?”

As if my words were unexpected, Erin tilted her head gently.

“I heard about it from Mina the other day.”

Ah…… That’s right.”

I drove the car smoothly and headed to Yerin’s house.

“Is Mina at home now?”

“Maybe. When she is not working as a hunter, she broadcasts from home.”

“A broadcast? Are you broadcasting him again?”

“Teacher? Did you know that Mina did a broadcast in the past?”

“Yes. My friend was a fan of Mina. Mina sang her song pretty well.”

“It is true….”

Yerin’s voice lowered slightly.

“Because Mina has been popular with her male fans since her old days.”

She was a little worried because Yerin rejected others, but she felt a little relieved if Mina stayed by her side.

“…… Ping Cheng.”

“Huh? What?”

“It’s nothing, sir.”

“I just ping…… What did you not do?”

“Mina’s hair is pink. Dyed pink suits me so I talked to myself a bit.”

“Really? After all, pink is not a color that everyone can digest. It was a bit strange because Mina suits her so well.”

“… ….”

“I have arrived. Is that your house?”

Before she knew it, she arrived at Yerin’s apartment complex.

She parked nearby and opened the back door.

“Then go in well, Yerin. Next time… ….”

– Growling.

“… ….”

“… ….”

At that moment, an alarm went off in my stomach.

f*ck.

It’s a bit embarrassing.

I must have been interrupted by a growling sound when I was talking.

“Uh, um. You must be a bit hungry because you didn’t eat anything today and just worked hard on training. I’ll go home, eat something, and sleep.”

“… ….”

“I’m going. Get some rest, Yerin.”

“… ….”

Why is he suddenly not talking?

I was puzzled, but I turned away without thinking deeply.

It was the moment I stepped out toward the parked car.

“…… That teacher.”

“Huh?”

Yerin gently grabbed my sleeve.

“I, that…… You asked for it, but I don’t think it’s polite to just look at it like this.”

“What? I’m okay.”

“Hey, sir… ….”

Yerin glared at her face, her glance, her mine, and swallowed her dry saliva.

And she quietly rhymed carefully in her voice.

“I…… If you ever go out…….”

The grip on the sleeves of her clothes became a little stronger.

“Would you like to eat some ramen at my house…… ?”
