19 – Misunderstandings and Misunderstandings

Around 6:05pm.

I arrived at the portal site on time. I reported back to the circle leader Imin Yu and waited for the remaining members to gather.

Since I’m tired and I’m closing my eyes, a shadow suddenly falls. When I opened my eyes and raised her head, Mo Yezi was staring at me blankly.

“… Hey Ymir.”

Where is Yoo Seong-won going and is he alone?

Ah, you’re behind me.

“… Half words?”

She was a little surprised because Mo Ye-ji didn’t know how to speak plain language.

Are you breaking that unchanging concept?

“You originally spoke plainly.”

“I will also say something respectful. Then.”

“… ….”

“… It’s a joke and why?”

“Ha Yeon-si… yo. This?”

It seems that he was curious about the fact that I returned alone.

“Their security team took them. You should have returned to the academy before us.”

“As expected.”

Mo Yeji suddenly made a sly expression and then she whispered to me in a small voice.

“I’ll ask you one thing.”

“What?”

“Ha Yeon-si is not a nice girl. Do I have to say that the outside and the inside are different? Should I call it a lump of pretense?”

“… What.”

“… If you stay close to him, you will only get hurt.”

I know. That Ha Yeon-si wears a mask and treats people.

But Mo Yeji shouldn’t make such an evaluation.

In the future, we have to form a team and stay close, but such a harsh evaluation. For some reason, the malice is stronger than I expected.

“… You wouldn’t be that kind of kid during the holidays.”

I spoke to change her assessment.

“I knew it because we hunted together today. Kind and caring….”

“Ha.”

The more I spoke, the more Mo Yeji’s face rotted. It’s amazing that her face, which was so beautiful that her eyes hurt, can turn into that of a third-rate bully.

“… ….”

But there were people whose expression was more rotten than her.

Yoo Seong-won and Pyo Hang-woo stood far behind Mo Ye-ji.

Yoo Seong-won resembles the golden sun.

Pyo Hang-wu looks like a bandit.

Why do they look like that?

I soon realized the reason.

Ah, you’re misunderstanding.

Yoo Seong-won has a crush on Mo Ye-ji, but she cannot marry Mo Ye-ji until 15 years later.

The same goes for Pyo Hang-woo. He wants to be popular himself, but 15 years later he’s still a fool. When I think about it, I feel pity and regret.

There is no need to misunderstand.

“But I am a bit disappointed.”

“Ha Yeon-si, he is… yes?”

“I thought you wouldn’t gossip about others.”

“Uh….”

Mo Yeji’s face hardened coldly. She seems shocked to see her wide open eyes and small open mouth. Is this the first time you’ve been evaluated like this by others? However, to say that even such a bewildered expression is pretty honestly feels like cheating.

“Is there anything more to say? I go.”

“… ….”

All the members of the circle arrived just in time. I left her standing firm and headed for her portal.

7 P.M.

I stopped at a convenience store and had a rough dinner with cup noodles and sandwiches before arriving at the dormitory. In the midst of the mess, I washed my body and looked at the clock, it was 8:00 PM. I’m tired and want to go to bed early, but I still have work to do.

[Consistently hit a living target with bare hands. Talent mastery increases by 0.3%.]

[You have won a battle against an opponent with high combat power. Talent mastery increases by 7%.]

[You have won a battle against a shapeless opponent. Talent mastery increases by 3.5%.]

[Continuous conversion was used. Conversion skill increases by 3%.]

[You have used conversion beyond the limit. Conversion skill increases by 11%.]

When I open the contribution window, the details are splendid. Certainly, the proficiency of talent rises faster in practice than in the training ground.

[You have acquired 1,500 points.]

[You have acquired 1,500 points.]

[You have acquired 2,000 points.]

[You have acquired 3,000 points.]

[You have acquired 7,000 points.]

The supply and demand of points is also not bad. In addition to the achievements of the first trials, it seems that Ha Yeon-si attracted a lot of attention. At this rate, I’ll probably be able to get the anti-magic body before the end of this semester. This is a much faster growth rate than I expected.

“I don’t know if this rate of growth can prevent destruction….”

And last. Today’s crops were taken out of the subspace pockets.

[Void Tentacles]

[Eye of Void]

I couldn’t eat the two essences right away, so I kept them in my pocket. I checked the void tentacles first. Tentacles resembling transparent snakes were wriggling like earthworms.

“… Uh.”

… It’s gross.

Next, I checked the Eye of the Void. Then I see eyeballs the size of a human fist. The eyeballs were rolling back and forth in the transparent reptile pupils with tiny blood vessels sticking out.

Ha, f*ck.

To be honest, both are gross.

“… ….”

Without anti-magic devices, my body can probably only withstand one of these secondary armaments.

So you have to choose.

Eyes or tentacles?

Tentacles or eyes?

When I check the information, the information is not displayed. When you use mastery, you can see the information only then.

『Void Tentacles』

[Secondary Armed][Void][Special][Body Transformation][Growth]

[Self type][Proliferation type][Combined type]

A tentacle dropped by the Void. Although the existence was divided into fragments, it is still alive and breathing.

* The body becomes alert.

* All general stats are corrected according to proficiency.

* All stats increase by 10%.

From noble mtl dot com

* All talents, skills, and skill proficiency increases by 150%.

* Depending on your skill level, you can mimic the shape you want.

* You can acquire the ‘digestive ability’ to swallow and digest everything.

『Eye of the Void』

[Secondary Armed][Void][Special][Body Transformation][Growth]

[Self type][Proliferation type][Combined type]

An eyeball dropped by the Void. Although the existence was divided into fragments, it is still alive and breathing.

* All general stats are corrected according to proficiency.

* All stats increase by 15%.

* Depending on your skill level, you can use ‘Clairvoyance’, which allows you to see things you cannot see.

For now, Void Tentacles look better. Besides, the digestive ability of the tentacles is probably the ability I think. Then….

“… After all, this one is better.”

I put my eyeballs aside in my subspace pouch and reached for the tentacles. Then the words of light came to mind like an alarm.

[This equipment is a combined equipment. Cannot be removed after wearing.]

[Would you like to wear it?]

The Void series has the characteristics of [Body Transformation] And [Combined Type] As Mine’s equipment. In simple terms, it means that the equipment merges with my body.

I was troubled. Then I suddenly thought that it was funny to come all the way here and worry about it.

According to my 15 years of experience and memories, the only equipment that can bring out the best strength without overlapping with the main characters is void in its current state.

Moreover, only him can check the details of this equipment.

So at least this means that you won’t be suspected of being a demon because of this equipment.

“… Do.”

As I accepted, a transparent void snake climbed up my arm in a spiral. As I was frowning at the slippery feel, it soon dug into my arm and merged with my body.

[You are wearing Void Tentacles.]

[The nature of the magical power does not match.]

[Due to the body’s resistance, all usage of this equipment is reduced by 50%.]

As the abilities were calibrated, I felt ecstatic. The feeling of being strong is always thrilling. At the same time, I felt an alien third sense. I tried to move the senses with my mind focused.

Procrastination.

As his right hand grew longer, it became like a tentacle. It is a transparent tentacle. I tried to release the power. Then the five fingers grew longer and longer like ferns.

“… ….”

If you look closely, it looks like an octopus leg.

Are these tentacles? Anyway, it looks so damn creepy.

I stretched out my hand, aiming at the lamp on the table. Then, the arm lengthened like a tong and hit the lamp like a whip.

“Oh….”

Perhaps this is the characteristic of body transformation. Not bad. Next, I engaged my third sense while concentrating on the image in my head. Then the tentacles rode around my body, disappearing and reappearing repeatedly. Depending on my image, it turned into a sword, shield, clothes, shoes, tail, tentacles, etc.

However, only the silhouette of the shape is vague, and the details do not look like real equipment.

Perhaps this is ‘imitation’.

“It looks like he was nerfed because of his constitution….”

Finally, there is only one ability left.

Digestive power.

I was reluctant to feed the essence from the subspace pouch, so I changed the subject. Come to think of it, I had some equipment left over.

Two Vitality Bracelets with zero energy stores. Considering the price of magic stones, I don’t think it’s a waste.

I held one of my vitality bracelets in my right hand. As I concentrated and used my digestive powers, a transparent mouth popped out of my palm and ate the bracelet.

[The fire extinguishing ability has been used. Void Tentacle mastery increased by 11%.]

[Health stat is permanently increased by 1.]

“… Oh.”

As expected, my ability is correct. Health stats increase permanently. I thought I should feed one more while I was away, so I fed one more remaining bracelet, and I saw unexpected results.

[The fire extinguishing ability has been used. Void Tentacle mastery increased by 11%.]

[Time remaining until digestion is complete: 96 hours….]

[After digestion is completed, health stat increases by 1 permanently.]

There seems to be a kind of feeling of satiety in digestion.

“… You can’t feed them indefinitely.”

Still, it’s not bad. No, it’s rather good It’s because I got another means to rapidly grow my stats. Thinking about it, I suddenly remembered a certain cartoon. An alien that fell from the sky parasitises on the protagonist’s right hand….

“… Good night now.”

Looking at the odd thoughts, he seems sleepy.

I laid down on the bed, giving myself over to sleep. Just as I was about to fall into the frenzy, my smart watch rang unknowingly. When I checked the message with dim eyes, it was from Ha Yeon-si, whom I exchanged numbers with today.

[Ha Yeon-si: I checked it now… What do you mean by this book?]

I was half-infatuated with her, and I realized the meaning of her words belatedly.

Perhaps it’s about magic books.

Ha Yeon-si, who is different from the outside and inside, expresses so strongly, this could be a kind of opportunity.

I replied after thinking about it.

Something you should never say, but you have no choice but to say it.

[Ymir: … You look better with a staff than a sword.]

I send a message like that and wait for a reply, but there is no reply. I waited about 5 minutes and fell asleep.

* * *

“… ….”

When Ha Yeon-shi arrived at the dormitory, she was sitting on the bed.

She was interested in Ymir.

I was wondering what the hell was the point of raising the rankings so quickly.

As a result, we tried to make contact and also hunted together.

He possessed knowledge and fighting skills beyond that of an ordinary cadet.

Perhaps you put a lot of effort into it.

Then, he suddenly made a strange sound that only he could understand.

He even willingly gave up the reward of the ordeal.

-It suits you better than me.

… Are you willing to give up the reward you got after all your hard work?

Is this person an angel?

But when I first saw the book I was given as a reward, I had doubts.

This looks like a magic book….

And since she had just finished identifying books with her wealth, her doubts were amplified.

“… Do you think magic books suit me?”

As far as he knows, there is only one person who makes such a claim outright.

Ha Poong-hwan.

It is her father.

Ha Yeon-si sent a message after thinking about it. Then, after a while, a reply came.

[Ymir: … You look better with a staff than a sword.]

Doubt turned into certainty.

Ymir, he seems to be related to his father.
