12 – Conversion (2)

“Collock….”

The first thing Mo Yeji saw after coming to his senses was the man’s face.

A normal-looking face. The achromatic impression of neatness blends with the black hair, giving it a handsome appearance at first glance.

But compared to her, this guy is really normal.

“… You.”

As her submerged consciousness gradually fills up, memories of her before she lost consciousness come to mind. Suddenly, this man shouted and immediately after that, a monster appeared from the shadows. A real monster, not a monster made as a training dummy.

The boy who claimed to be the rear guard was destroyed in a single blow, and the monster came towards him. Moyezi looked up at the huge monster. She’s been through a lot of training since her military academy days, but this is the first time she’s ever seen a real, living monster. And such a huge, disgusting monster….

The hairy outer skin had a black sheen. Her green bodily fluid dripped from her claw-like mouth. The small, protruding eyes were filled with endless darkness, not knowing where they were staring. It didn’t look like a real existence. When I opened my eyes, I felt like I was having a horrible nightmare.

Mo Yeji closed her eyes and opened them. Her heart stopped and the world seemed to stand still. And her familiar sensations came to her mind. This sensation is an unforgettable sensation.

The feeling of the day she lost her family came like a wave. Waves of emotion soon engulfed her body. While it was difficult to move her fingers, her mind was clear with self-reproach for some reason.

I’m sorry I’m the only one left alive….

Her parents and her younger brother were killed by an unknown beast. The twelve-year-old girl who survived went to her cousin’s house like an object.

A girl who is the only one who survives when her family’s heads are decapitated by an assailant.

The media has been talking about it every day. Amid the support of her reporters, her home as she went was destroyed one by one. If the reporters’ mission was to make the girl commit suicide, their mission was progressing steadily. Because there was no place on earth for a girl who was sold like a piece of baggage to hide. After her favor turned into injustice and she moved from house to house, the last place she stopped by was the military academy.

She was also fully aware of the fact that she had awakened then.

Life at the military academy was difficult. Paradoxically, however, I was able to forget the pain in my heart because my body was suffering right away. With the single thought of avenging his family, he was able to choose to postpone his suicide and survive.

And the moment she met her eyes with the hideous monster in front of her, Mo Yeji realized her own stupidity.

To have to fight such a hideous monster… ? Can’t win. Die…. No, she was right from the start that she herself should have been dead. On the night five years ago when everyone in my family died.

At that time, someone’s voice was clearly heard.

“Hey! Moyeji! Use your foreknowledge!”

Mo Yeji was startled. And soon she figured out the situation. The closer she is to a demon, the more she enjoys people’s fears like seasoning, she had learned during her Demonology lecture.

… Is this monster’s ability?

It looks like that. From the moment he first met her eyes, she was bewildered. It seems to be the ability to reveal the subject’s unfortunate past.

Come to think of it, did Instructor Lee Jin-ah say that she was seasoning before eating with the devil’s consciousness maximizing people’s fear….

A sudden laugh came out. The fear is gone. Mo Yeji shouted in response to her voice, and she did what the voice intended.

She used her foresight. The man ran towards the monster. Mo Yeji closed one eye so as not to read the man’s future. However, in a world where even time is relative, it is impossible to completely separate two objects in the same space.

A nosebleed came out. My brain was seething. With even her breathing short, Mo Ye-ji did her best. To avenge the monster who lifted her own ill-fated veil.

The man managed to defeat the monster. Mo Yeji lost her mind shortly after seeing the figure. She and she heard her clear revelations in the hot breath and the feel of her hazy lips.

“Don’t die! You can’t die.”

This is what she wanted to hear when she brought misfortune to every house she went to one day.

Don’t die.

I want you to live.

“Collock….”

When I came to my senses, the man in front of me was talking.

“Ha, I’m glad….”

Are you happy?

What is it?

“… You.”

I wonder if I’m glad I’m alive.

The words I heard in my dream are as clear as the touch of my breath and lips.

* * *

The case was quickly closed. After the rescue request, instructors came and cleaned the scene while they conducted their own investigation.

Excluding Yoon Sam-won, who suffered a serious facial injury due to broken glasses, me and Mo Ye-ji received treatment and responded to Q&A. And after finishing all the research, when I arrived at the dormitory, it was 00 o’clock on time.

I am going through what Choi Ji-sung should have gone through.

Is this a good thing?

“… I don’t know.”

Still, there was a harvest. I took out the sack I had hidden in my bosom. A leather sack that looks old and clunky. But surprisingly, this is a subspace pouch.

[Leather sack inside a balloon]

[Tool][Special][Storage type]

Special pockets for storing things.

* Allowed space 15 pyeong.

* Allowable weight within 200 kg.

I was lucky to be able to get these magical items after subjugating monsters and above. Because subspace pockets are easy to use and expensive, it is an item that is not easily obtained.

“… See. Where are you going?”

From noble mtl dot com

I rummaged through the subspace pouch. It is strange that the space inside the palm-sized sack is as wide as my dormitory. Soon, the hand that was rummaging around caught something. I took it out. Then, a black orb emitting a brilliant luster came out. An item secretly taken from the corpse of the queen ant.

“… Essence.”

Essence is a kind of introspection possessed by monsters of monster level or higher. People who have bloomed talents can acquire abilities by ingesting this, but demons actually acquire strength or abilities by ingesting this essence.

However, the process is so complicated that it is not stable, and if you accidentally ingest it wrongly and cannot digest the essence, your body will explode and you will die.

In that respect, Mine contracted with the devil can quickly become stronger, but the limit can be seen as clear as that.

“… But not me.”

As a visitor, I can get rid of the side effects of water purification by improving my constitution. Of course, there is a downside to not being able to perfectly absorb the power of the essence.

I checked the store while I was away. Then, the details of the points acquired appear and the goods held are displayed.

[A number of people are interested in you.]

[A number of people are interested in you.]

[The main character has taken an interest in you.]

[The main character has taken an interest in you.]

[A special person has taken an interest in you.]

[A special person has taken a strong interest in you.]

[A special person has a crush on you….]

……

…

[Possessed currency: 13,024 points]

Is the subjugation of the monsters in the main story included as a kind of achievement?

I got back the 8,000 points I used to purchase the Mastery Potion, and earned an additional 5,000 points.

Perhaps some of these points were contributed by Mo Ye-ji. Because I saved your life.

“Hmm.”

You can check the exact history, but it’s annoying to check because there are so many acquisition records.

I ignored the learning details and used the search function to check my constitution.

[Magic Delay]

[Constitution] [Blessing] [Special]

A body blessed with magic. The energy of Mother Nature always resides in the body. It is easy to accumulate mana, and the mana consumption for all actions is reduced.

Looking at the price, it’s a whopping 500,000 points. It’s dark. However, the constitution I want is not magical retardation.

[Anti-magic]

[Constitution][Change][Special]

The magical power inside the body takes on the nature of an anti-demon. There are no side effects.

Anti-magic.

If you improve your constitution, you can consume purified water without side effects. In addition, it can easily deal with ‘magical immunization’ objects like the queen ant I dealt with today. Of course, this is also far from 500,000 points.

So keep this for now.

“Ha ha.”

Come to think of it, I couldn’t even eat properly because I was under investigation. Of course, I ate, but it means that I couldn’t eat properly because my eyeballs were sore.

Shall we stop by the convenience store and buy some ramen?

Sounds like a good idea.

I don’t have to worry about mornings anyway, since tomorrow’s class will be temporarily closed.

With that in mind, I left the dormitory.

“… ….”

Unfortunately, Mo Yeji was coming out of the dormitory on the other side of the stairs.

We looked at each other and our eyes met as if we had promised.

“… ….”

“… ….”

Mo Yeji turned her head away as if my gaze was burdensome. I passed those gazes without a word and went down the stairs. I thought as I headed to the convenience store. Mo Yeji’s eyes are not as sharp as before.
