Join the discord! Here

This is absurd.

The Sorcerer of Heavenly Vision looked at Lee Seoha and Hong Yuhwa with a stunned expression.

The flash from a moment ago.

Its eerie power was palpable. Any average person would assume that it was Hong Yuhwa's finishing move.

And it was a decisive blow.

Had it not been for the corrupt power left behind by Lee Seoha, it would have been a close call.

That power is worth studying.

The corrupt power Lee Seoha unleashed.

That was the game-changer.

Using the Demonic Qi, he weakened the Minotaurs resistance.

While the advanced spell, Flare, used by Hong Yuhwa at the end indeed had tremendous power, the Minotaur would have withstood it at least once.

Out of his will, he stabbed a black sword into the Minotaur's chest. The corrupt power weakened its resistance from within.

What do you think?

That power is dangerous. It can kill Mines.

If that power is directed at us, we would also be in dire straits.

The Sorcerer of Heavenly Vision swallowed those words.

They were here to guide them onto the righteous path.

Emperor, do you remember what I mentioned before?

You wanted to give a lecture?

Yes. I want to personally watch over him.

The Sorcerer of Heavenly Vision looked at Lee Seoha.

An urge to personally protect him welled up.

Keep my identity hidden. If not, then through my disciple.

...Do you perceive it as that dangerous?

Yes.

The Sorcerer of Heavenly Vision and the Emperor would prevent him from joining the Mines' ranks.

The transcendent beings who saw that power would think the same.

However, if he were to join the Mines, he would become the sharpest blade that pierces their hearts.

If thats not possible,

At The Sorcerer of Heavenly Visions words, Seo Yebin let out a bitter laugh.

If he were to join the Mines,

He would become a force that all the transcendent beings, united, would struggle to overcome.

No one can but her.

[Achievement details calculated.]

[Successfully defeated the Minotaur wielding psychic flames. You've been rewarded 5,000p.]

[You contributed the most to the defeat of the Minotaur wielding psychic flames. An additional 5,000p has been awarded.]

[Hong Yuhwa feels intense rivalry upon seeing you. She will compete with you in every small matter. Every time she loses to you, her growth rate increases. However, if you lose, her growth rate and affection towards you will decrease.]

[A Relationship has been added.]

[Rivalry. Hong Yuhwa harbors feelings of competition towards you.]

Did you wake up, Master?

Mr. Seoha, you're awake!

...Yeah.

Opening my eyes, Heavenly Demon and Heavenly Spirit greeted me.

And there it was, the talent window.

How long was I out?

[About 16 hours now.]

Not as bad as I expected.

I yawned, skimming through the window.

And then it hit me.

Hmm... this is tricky.

In essence, if I want to encourage Hong Yuhwas growth, I need to continuously outdo her and push her limits.

It's manageable now, but...

There will come a time when it becomes challenging.

Pillager.

Unlike the original game, its rank is marked by a question mark. I'm not sure why, but it implies that theres no limit to its rank.

The highest rank is Ex.

I didnt particularly care about its aesthetics, but it was a gift from Ersil, so I accepted it with gratitude.

And this is?

You got severely injured this time. It's a special remedy.

Ersil said and then stood up.

Anyway, take care. Oh, did you hear? Due to some interruptions in the final evaluations, those with low scores have to take an additional exam.

Really?

Yes, and for some reason, you ranked first in this test.

...Did I?

That's odd.

I knew I was in the first place, but who else could see that...

Was it Seo Yebin?

Perhaps it was Saint Royal Rose. He's very interested in the students of Korea Hero Academy and never hesitates to offer advice.

I thought I wouldn't be able to maintain the top rank this time. Lucky.

I then examined the tonic Ersil gave me.

The potion seemed effective for internal injuries, although it didn't seem to boost my stats.

'Not too shabby.'

I could concoct something of higher quality, but it would require more effort and pricier ingredients. The academy provides some materials for free, but some expensive ones are out of reach even here. It's a cost-saving measure.

Shortly after Ersil left, I sensed someone's presence.

It was Seo Gayeon. She stood silently outside my door.

...Come in.

She quietly opened the door, her face bearing a somber expression.

Did you know?

I felt someone's presence.

I see.

Seo Gayeon muttered under her breath.

Want to sit here?

Yeah.

Seo Gayeon sat down beside me.

Why the long face?

...I feel like I'm not much help to you, Seoha.

Don't worry about it. Even if things get tough, I'll rely on you.

I hope so.

Seo Gayeon nodded in agreement.

She seemed genuinely distressed.

What about the others?

Everyone's busy. The final evaluations were stopped. Oh, and the ones who cooperated to defeat the Minotaur got their points.

...Sorry.

It's okay. As long as you're safe, Seoha.

Seo Gayeon likely didn't receive any points because she cautioned me against using the star magic. I might regret it, but given the unique nature of her power, it's better to be cautious.

If you ever need a favor, let me know. I'll help if I can.

It's okay. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to awaken that power.

I still feel bad about it.

Then...

After a brief moment of contemplation, Seo Gayeon spoke.

Later.

-Not now, I guess.

She looked at me, and I could vividly feel the emotions emanating from her magic.

When I can be of help to Seoha.

-For now, I'm weak. I can't stand by your side yet.

That sentiment was crystal clear and intense.

When you're in danger, Seoha.

-If I ever become stronger.

With a tone close to determination, she added,

Promise me you'll help when I need it.

-I hope when that time comes, I'll be by your side.

...

She said it with such a neutral tone.

All I could do was nod in response, taken aback by her words.

enjoy! :)
