Regressing with the King’s Power Chapter 46

Episode 46

It was like déjà vu of the player license test.

Taehyun opens the door and sees Lim Ah-young looking at him with a strange expression.

The only thing that changed was that the status of the two people changed from test takers to official players.

“What happened?”

“I heard that you stopped by the association earlier and returned to Seoul. “First of all, I’m the class president.”

‘You really can’t lie.’

Even though he spoke calmly, he couldn’t even make eye contact properly.

Taehyun burst out laughing.

“Well, I guess I should treat a guest well. “Do you want to come in?”

“Then excuse me.”

Lim Ah-young came into Tae-hyun’s house as if she had been waiting.

‘Now that I think about it, you are the first guest after receiving the house from the association.’

A private home given to Taehyun at the same time he received his S-class license.

It’s a private house, but I’ve spent most of my time in the dungeon over the past month.

Since the house was only used as a place to sleep, it was natural that basic things for entertaining guests were not prepared.

“I’m sorry. “I don’t have anything to entertain you.”

“are you okay. here. “You probably have a knife to cut fruit, right?”

Lim Ah-young asked, holding out the apple basket she was holding.

“…I don’t have one.”

Watching Taehyun instinctively think about taking out the talisman.

Lim Ah-young sighed.

* * *

Square. square.

Fruits being peeled by Lim A-young’s hands.

A pleasant sound echoed throughout the quiet house.

“Amazing? “I can’t believe you can control Ice Age in such detail.”

Taehyun said to Lim Ah-young, who was cutting fruit with a cutter made of ice.

It was not empty words, but a heartfelt admiration.

It is easy to release great power, but it is not easy to compress that power.

Lim Ah-young was calmly performing controls that would not be easy for even an A-grade player.

“I’m not happy at all to hear that from you.”

Contrary to what she said, she handed me a fruit with a red face.

“I’ll eat well.”

Taehyun took a bite of the apple.

Now that I think about it, it was my first time eating fruit since I moved out of my aunt’s house.

“How are the player activities? “I understand that you also applied for employment at your school.”

Taehyun brought up a common topic to prevent the atmosphere from becoming awkward.

Many S-class awakened people failed the exam or were issued temporary licenses because of Taehyun.

Ayoung, who should have taken the top spot, also only received a B-grade license.

‘I think I started at grade A in my previous life.’

It was screwed up from the start because he became his own victim.

I felt guilty for a moment.

Taehyun handed her a fruit with a kind smile.

“…What are you planning?”

“What a ploy. “It’s just that I suddenly want to take care of you.”

“….”

She accepted the apple piece, still not letting go of her suspicions.

“so. What are the player activities like?”

“Nothing special. So far, I’ve only been to the beginning of the Abyss. “Life like this will continue until I graduate.”

“It’s already the Abyss… Isn’t it amazing?”

“….”

When Taehyun reacted as if he was hearing this for the first time, Ayoung looked disappointed.

It’s not because articles about him are being written every day.

[Lim A-young, S-rank awakener and this year’s second player licensee. Hunting dozens of Class B monsters.]

[If Japan has a saint, New Korea has Im Ah-young. Can she become the thirteenth of New Korea?!!]

Same.

‘Kim Tae-hyun. Are you saying you don’t even care about me?’

Is it an inferiority complex?

Ayoung unconsciously put strength in her hand holding the fruit.

Damn it.

The momentary loss of control became longer like a long sword.

Taehyun, who was startled, dodged Ice Age that came right in front of his uvula.

“Why is this happening all of a sudden?”

“…sorry. “It was a mistake.”

Taehyun made a blank expression at Lim Ah-young’s dry apology.

‘If you make a mistake twice, you’ll catch someone.’

Taehyun was quietly moving away from her.

“Well, anyway, I’m glad you’ve settled in well. congratulations.”

Even though it was just beginner time, entering and exiting the Abyss at the age of a teenager was definitely an enormous task.

Taehyun sincerely congratulated her.

At the beginning of the Abyss, a player zone has been created to serve as an advance base for exploration.

Since it was a place created after driving out the monsters that lived there, attacks by monsters were constant.

A talent like Ayoung would be of great help.

‘I still remember it vividly.’

Taehyun is also a place where he has been in and out of for over a dozen years in his previous life.

Even though I have never been there since returning, the geography of that place came to mind vividly.

“Taehyun Kim. “Why aren’t you joining the Abyss?”

“It’s still too much for me.”

“lie.”

“you. “I think your trust in me is too low.”

Lim Ah-young’s expression hardened at her sly attitude.

and.

“Don’t be flattered just because you’re an S-rank player. “I will follow you soon.”

Tsuzzzzzz.

After unlocking ‘Ice Age’, she stood up.

“You must be young.”

Taehyun laughed at her willingness to fight.

Future SS-rank players are gritting their teeth to surpass themselves.

Taehyun was just a porter in his previous life, so he couldn’t help but laugh.

‘Come to think of it.’

Taehyun checked the date on the calendar on the wall.

‘It won’t be long before the first SS-rank awakener will be announced.’

The first SS-rank awakener. The first SS-level player.

From then on, the image of Ayoung walking around the player battle line, which was going to get even more intense, came to mind.

‘I guess it’s okay to give some stimulation.’

“Lim Ayoung.”

Taehyun stopped her as she was about to pack up her clothes and leave.

and.

“Try to follow along carefully. “The gap will continue to widen.”

“Kim Tae-hyun….”

Looking at her shaking.

Taehyun laughed again.

* * *

‘Kim Tae-hyun. He’s still a guy that bothers me.’

Lim Ah-young sighed, remembering Tae-hyun’s house that she visited a little while ago.

‘I’ll catch up soon, so just wait and see.’ together.

The words were grandiose, but the energy I felt from Taehyun a moment ago was unusual.

‘What kind of skill have you awakened?’

Taehyun’s strength was more refined than during the previous player test.

The association belatedly announced that the B-grade skills ‘Stone Skin’, ‘Stealth’, ‘Paralysis’, and ‘Knight King’s Awe’ had been awakened.

‘You’re missing the point.’

Ayoung clearly suspected that that was not all.

Above all, Taehyun is a growth-type awakened person who is one of very few people in the world.

Even as Ayoung, who had the greatest talent, she had no choice but to strengthen her fighting spirit.

‘As soon as I get home, I’ll start training right away.’

After obtaining a player license, it seemed like I was going to and fro the Abyss for the past month.

Although it was already active enough that there was talk of renewing the A-class license.

‘Compared to the reputation he’s building up, it’s probably new blood.’

Taehyun’s reaction was quite hurtful to her as well.

Ayoung sighed again.

At that time, someone blocked her path.

Ayoung raised her head.

“Oh my, who is this?”

“sister…?”

Nightwalker’s guild leader and New Korea’s S-rank player Yoo Ah-young.

She was looking at Lim Ah-young with her arms crossed.

“I thought I told you not to call me that?”

Yoo Ah-young looked at her half-sister Lim Ah-young with cold eyes.

If it had been before, I would have felt intimidated.

Lim A-young is also a decent player now.

There was no reason to avoid eye contact.

“Whatever you call it, it’s my freedom. “What are you doing here?”

Yoo Ah-young’s eyebrows twitched slightly at her younger brother’s unwavering attitude.

“Didn’t I ask first? What’s the point of you coming here…”

Yoo Ah-young’s expression changed as a thought passed through her mind.

“aha. “You came to meet our Taehyun?”

“We… Taehyun…?”

It was as Yoo Ah-young expected.

Lim Ah-young’s expression turned embarrassed at the unexpected choice of words.

The corners of Yoo Ah-young’s mouth rose.

My half-brother doesn’t understand what I say because his head has grown quite a bit now.

It was because I felt like I had discovered my younger brother’s new weakness.

“okay. Our Taehyun. weird. “I heard you don’t have any plans today?”

Yoo Ah-young cleverly made up Taehyun’s schedule.

It wasn’t wrong.

This is a fact that I already found out through my subordinates.

“What is your relationship with Kim Tae-hyun?”

Lim Ah-young asked back with a stern expression.

“Two S-rank players are meeting at night. “What are you going to do?”

“What are you saying…!”

“Shut up and stay out of my sight next time. Otherwise the name. “I will trample on it so you can never use it again.”

“….”

Leaving Lim A-young silent.

Yoo Ah-young passed by him.

“…sister.”

The meaning of the name Ayoung felt even more weighty today.

* * *

Meanwhile.

“hi?”

When Taehyun opened the door, Yoo Ah-young was smiling brightly.

“Huh… How can we get here…”

Following Lim Ah-young, this time it’s Yoo Ah-young.

It was a series of unexpected visitors.

However, the reaction of astonishment was short-lived.

‘no. I would be grateful if you could come to me on your own.’

Taehyun’s head began to spin rapidly.

For the next plan, Yoo Ah-young’s help is also needed.

I couldn’t treat her as poorly as before.

After organizing his thoughts, Taehyun smiled.

“Oh, how unexpected?”

“What do you mean?”

“I thought you would treat me coldly again like last time.”

“Well, now that you are a senior in the industry, I will treat you well.”

Yoo Ah-young looked intently at Tae-hyeon’s face in a quick change of posture.

“Hmm. “Isn’t there a different meaning?”

“I think it has a different meaning?”

Taehyun pointed to her hand.

I saw a familiar plant in my hand.

‘I am immortal.’

Yoo Ah-young handed over a herb of elixir packaged in the form of a flower pot.

“It’s the herb of elixir. Players like us don’t know when we’ll die, right? New Korea’s first national power player. “There is no harm in being seen well by someone who shows such potential.”

Taehyun graciously accepted the elixir of immortality that was handed to him while speaking slyly.

“Let’s raise it well.”

Suddenly.

Yoo Ah-young grabbed one of Taehyun’s arms as he held the herb of elixir.

“Then I guess ‘baby’ wants something from me too?”

Taehyun breathed a sigh of relief at Yoo Ah-young’s attitude of coming in.

Yoo Ah-young, a ranker of New Korea and head of the 4th guild Night Walker.

It was well known that she did not hesitate to use the term ‘baby’ to refer to other people.

‘Still, I’m glad it’s not a baby.’

Baby is the title she uses for the man she targets.

Because I knew very well how harsh that title was, I was able to at least accept it as a cute expression.

“Since you say so, can I ask you a favor?”

“say it. “I will listen to anything I can.”

Yoo Ah-young pounded her chest and showed confidence.

I felt as if there was nothing I couldn’t accept in this new Korea.

“A double dungeon I discovered in Night Walker a while ago. “I want you to hand over the strategy to me.”

When the word “double dungeon” came out, Yoo Ah-young’s expression became dumbfounded.

“How could you…”

“What are you going to do?”

Taehyun urged him to answer.

The idea was to push ahead without any time to think and get a favorable contract.

Yoo Ah-young was a smarter woman than Tae-hyeon thought.

It didn’t take long for her to gather her thoughts.

Wow.

With a charming smile, she placed her hand on Taehyun’s shoulder.

‘hmm?’

“Our cute baby. Is it because of public achievement?”

Moment.

Goosebumps appeared on Taehyun’s back.
