33 – I guess I don’t have any talent for this.

‘Left… ‘

I hear a ghastly pangong sound in my ears.

I immediately ducked down.

Turning and holding the sword with his left arm, he drew an optimal trajectory for the approaching blow and cut it upwards.

With a short flash, the silver knight in front of me splits in half.

But there was no time to rest.

With the ankle as the axis, it quickly rotated.

I saw other silver knights running aiming for blind spots.

The total number is three.

The silver knight with the fastest feet closes the distance.

The guy swung his greatsword with incredible strength that he couldn’t believe came from such a small body.

‘Now… !’

I tightened my wrist.

Awesome! A stone grows along his right arm with a clattering sound.

When I breathed magic into the covered rock, I called the number.

[Use Petrified Skin (Lv.2).]

[Power increases due to elemental response.]

Bang-!

“Kuu!”

A heavy shock resonates throughout the body.

The shattered breakthrough obstructed my vision.

Other silver knights attack in succession.

This time behind the back.

The silver knight rotated his spear and violently grabbed the spearhead.

A blow like a flash approached with a cutting sound that cut through the wind.

I focused on my back.

There was a feeling that something was wriggling.

As it were, an arm made of fire protruded and grabbed the spear blade.

[Use the Flame Arm (Lv.1).]

[Power increases due to elemental response.]

“… !”

You can see the confused eyes of the silver knight between the helmets.

‘What a surprise.’

Who wouldn’t be surprised to see an arm sticking out of his back?

Still, after using it dozens of times, I felt like I got a sense of it to some extent.

At first, it was embarrassing to see only kindling sticks sticking out.

‘But that’s all there is.’

After more than two seconds, the arm became noticeably weaker and soon faded.

It was clear evidence of a lack of holding power.

Hook!

The spear blade grazes his side.

Blood flows on the floor along with pieces of flesh that have fallen off.

The three silver knights who gained momentum charged at the same time.

It was a movement without a moment’s hesitation, as if sharing each other’s thoughts.

The greatsword came in aiming for the head, the spearman for the side, and the axeman for the leg.

A perfect combination that leaves no gaps.

It was a collaboration worthy of the notorious knights in [Silver Glory].

‘I can’t do it anymore.’

I clicked my tongue and fixed the sword in my left hand.

-!!

With a short flash, a circular sword energy spread around me.

In an instant, the three silver knights are split in half.

As it was, it spread on the floor and disappeared along with the smoke.

[Defeat the Silver Hawk – Knights (Intermediate).]

[End of virtual training.]

[Synergy is achieved with the body being trained in reality.]

‘… Hmm.’

▶ Thank you for your hard work. Master. Still, isn’t this bad enough?

‘No, that’s wrong.’

This is a clear failure.

The purpose of this battle was to practice the newly acquired abilities and explore combinations.

‘Write… ‘

He energized his hands and circulated mana.

The two skills I used earlier were activated at the same time.

Flames shoot up over the stone-covered arms.

If a guy who doesn’t know anything sees it, he will admire that he uses two elements at the same time, but I know it well.

‘It’s inefficient. And it’s not stable.’

The rock gradually cracked and lost its unique strength, and the fire also showed an aesthetically extreme temperature.

I checked the condition while punching the air.

‘Instantaneous power, precision, and power are all lower than when used separately. It doesn’t mean that you eat less magic. To be honest, just swinging a sword is much stronger and more efficient.’

▶ Analysis. Currently, there are a total of two ‘skills’ that can be operated simultaneously. However, as you said, the power efficiency is greatly reduced. However, you will see improvement gradually, so I recommend continuous practice.

‘Write… ‘

If it was that guy, it would have been a simulation in my head.

Seeing that Crayon Shin-chan doesn’t roll, it seems that I don’t have any talent for this kind of thing.

▶That guy… ? Are you referring to the association’s ‘Ken’?

‘No, that narrow-eyed cat is also a genius, but I have other thoughts. He’s not even a real person in the first place.’

Before I was possessed, there was a cartoon I often read in real life.

There, the main character absorbed and used all kinds of abilities, but based on his outstanding intelligence, he showed off his fighting power to the point where admiration came naturally by presenting creative work combinations.

I wanted to try it, but it didn’t work out.

Well, I only wielded a sword.

When did you fully use this superpower?

If you use it well, it’s rather strange.

Anyway, I decided to finish the imagery training.

As I closed my eyes and concentrated, I saw myself returning to reality.

I checked the time by looking at the clock hanging in the training room.

‘… 7 O’clock in the evening… ‘

Contrary to the calm head, I could feel the hot training of the body.

Inhaling and exhaling a large amount of air from the lungs, along with the madly beating heart, continued non-stop.

[Auto training in progress.]

‘Looks like he’s squatting.’

It seems to have arrived earlier than expected.

I thought it would be over by now.

I looked at the moving body.

My legs were shaking as if they were going to collapse at any moment, and my muscles were convulsing.

Nevertheless, the movement was performed accurately and perfectly without any disturbance.

I always feel it, but it is a very strange feeling.

A little something.

Should I say that it feels like being the main character of an idle game?

Anyway, it’s a waste to lose my mind like this, so I decided to pay the bill following ‘Iron Kingdom’ and ‘Inabi’.

‘First, the status window.’

[Strength: 31.1] [Agility: 29]

[HP: 31.5] [INT: 25]

[mana: 19] [Charm: 30]

[Fines: 35.5] [Luck: 25]

It’s boring to say, but there’s nothing like actual combat.

A few weeks ago, his stats, which hadn’t even exceeded 20, have easily surpassed 30.

‘Did my stamina and technique increase exceptionally quickly?’

The battle that was close to a bloody battle played a big role.

However, there was one conspicuously low level of ability.

‘Magic power.’

Compared to what was similar in the beginning, the growth rate was too small.

I didn’t panic.

Because I already guessed enough and I know the reason.

‘Bloodline.’

Magic power is the ability that the innate talent of blood is most striking.

Magic power affects everything from the total amount, efficiency, and quality of energy required to use supernatural powers.

The difference between the innate wall was so great that the idiots who say ‘royal blood’ were right about this.

‘Though it’s probably because he ate the elixir made by Jegal Eunbyeol and the [Annals’ Elixir].’

Even in my previous life, magical power held me back.

It’s not that I’m not talented in magic, but that’s why I insisted on using a sword.

Also, mana must have a big impact on the reason why combinations using abilities stolen from [Contract] Aren’t good.

‘I need to find something… ‘

Well, to be honest, I don’t worry too much.

I earned a lot of points through this, so if it’s necessary, just flex it.

Otherwise, it was good to peek at the opportunity in moderation because it was now possible for me to ‘eat the first chance with knowledge of the future’, a privilege of the regressors.

‘Next… ‘

I thought about the unexpected harvest.

“<>”

– Bang!

As I recited the starting language, something appeared.

A cross with a faint light and an energy that is unusual even at a glance was standing there.

‘A little over 2m in size… ‘

When the message popped up, I skipped it because it was annoying… When I first checked in the hospital room, it was really crazy.

It was so heavy that it broke the floor and went down to the ward.

‘Holy relic given by Irelua, the 3rd Goddess… ‘

I could feel it as soon as I saw it.

Simply given some divine power, but having tremendous holy power that is on a different level from that cheap one.

But I don’t know why the goddess Pingchang gave this to me.

‘If it had been a sword, I would have bowed.’

You didn’t mean to wield it, did you?

It is not a weight that can be lifted in the first place.

It was so damn heavy that the current me had to do my best to push it.

Fortunately, there is no problem in summoning and retrieving with the starter language…

‘I don’t know if the day will come when I use this.’

No matter what, I decided to move on.

‘K. Next to talent selection.’

▶ Renew.

[Check the change in favorability.]

[Confirmed a total of 4 people. Currently, two have finished.]

[The list of Inabi and Iron Kingdom will be deleted.]

[Talent description omitted.]

[1, Ohana]

[Thanks: 50%, Sorry: 30%, I don’t know myself: 20%]

[2, Junho Song]

[Respect: 80%, Gratitude: 20%]

‘Are there any problems with both of them?’

▶ Yes, there is no particularly fatal talent. Both of them are growing smoothly, and in the case of Junho Song, [Seongcheonganggol] Has recently succeeded in blooming.

Since he also risked his life in a fight, it was natural for him to show that much growth.

▶ However, there is one thing I would like to tell you. Do you remember Song Jun-ho’s talent list?

‘Oh, what was it that was so splendid?’

▶ Some abilities that were not clearly recorded at the time have been updated to the list.

‘… You’re talking about the latent side, right?’

▶That’s right.

I checked it myself.

Then, there was only one talent, but New! Was marked with

▶Guess. I think [Arhat’s contract] Is to judge the potential based on the current talent. Junho Song has recently undergone mental and physical growth. It is my opinion, but it is judged that the more excellent the ‘natural talent’, the greater the scope of renewal in the future.

‘So… Song Joon-ho was added because he was talented, right?’

▶ Yes.

Sweet, my belly hurts a bit.

‘Okay. Put the two of them on hold.’

▶ Question. Choose… Don’t you?

Song Jun-ho has already chosen once.

It’s a bit much for a guy of his age to grow up, so I decided to pass it on this time.

If something better comes along later, let’s take it then.

And Ohana…

‘That’s what he picks and eats from the little kid… Pass it roughly.’

▶ Laughter. Oh, you are still weak to God.

‘Enough.’

Anyway, have you settled the bill?

Anyway, I thought about the contract…

‘… What the hell was that?’

A part of the ‘contract’ that the scorpion demon fluttered before it died.

I wondered if it was a hallucination, but when Kei said he witnessed it himself, I realized it wasn’t a mistake.

I tried sparring close to the real battle to recreate it again… It didn’t show any sign at all.

‘Are there any special conditions required…? ‘

Seeing that there are no words in the status window, I wondered if it hadn’t bloomed yet.

‘Anyway, how stunned this guy is.’

I looked towards the corner of the training ground.

I saw Song Jun-ho lying on the floor like garbage.

The guy passed out with the whites of his eyes showing, and he didn’t move a single fingertip.

“Hey, wake up.”

“…… “

“Aren’t you up? Would you like more?”

“…… “

As soon as I came back, I was beaten up a bit, but this is what happened.

[Teach Song Joon-ho swordsmanship.]

[Cheers to Song Joon-ho.]

[The period will be renewed.]

▶… I said it back then, but the Master handles it too harshly.

Ah, tsk tsk… I want it because I’m so weak.

‘Anyway, rehabilitation is complete.’

That’s how the first night of returning to the academy passed.

* * *

And the next day.

“Nice to meet you, Cadet Siwoo Choi.”

“It is an honor to meet you. President.”

“hahahaha! You don’t have to be so formal. Sit comfortably as if you met a local grandfather.”

“Oh really?”

“Huh?”

There is no reason to refuse when they are so welcoming.

As I said, I sat down on the sofa very comfortably.

I crossed my legs and looked at the old woman in front of me with my chin up.

‘Someone might not be a miser. Even the leather is cheap.’

The old man took a sip of the tea with a look of bewilderment. The president of Prunel, and a legendary Awakener known as the ‘Wrathful Sleeping Dragon’.

It was the appearance of Chen Weiguang.
