Episode 193 Cheolpuk
– Cheolpuk –
Shin Ha-yoon leisurely walked along the beach with a smile on his face as he listened to the waves of the endless night sea.
“Lee Hyuk. Do you know that?”
Shin Ha-yoon called Lee Hyuk in an excited voice and added a story that she only brings up on days when she is in a great mood.
“In the world, that is. They say there are very few chosen people. A story about being born with memories of a previous life. Haven’t you heard of it?”
Lee Hyuk did not ask or respond to Shin Ha-yoon’s story. Lee Hyuk knew. That this is not the story Shin Ha-yoon tells herself.
This was nothing more than her self-talk on a good day.
“If you believe the story?”
However, in response to Shin Ha-yoon’s question, who wanted an answer to the end, Lee Hyuk touched his chin with his hand and pretended to be thinking.
“…well just. Maybe it’s a common story that people like. In any era, such a novel story attracts attention, doesn’t it?”
“Whoops. I knew you would answer like that. Then, changing the question, if an unknown being, be it a god or a tower, caused such a human being to be born, what do you think is the reason?”
In response to Shin Ha-yoon’s difficult question, Lee Hyuk just laughed and said, “Ha-ha.”
“well. It’s something I’ve never thought about. I mean, I’ve never believed in God. But I know one thing for sure.”
“what?”
“In this world, exceptional irregulars like you are born. And that the world revolves around those few.”
At Lee Hyuk’s story, Shin Ha-yoon covered her mouth and burst into laughter.
“…Puhuh, is that supposed to please me?”
“I was just telling the truth.”
Let Lee Hyuk end his speech in a serious voice. Shin Ha-yoon raised one hand while looking at the sea.
This is a quiet island where not a single ray of artificial light can be seen.
There were no eyes watching Shin Ha-yoon anywhere.
saaaaaa
Gooooooh –
I heard a huge wave that was different from before. And Lee Hyuk laughed out loud at the sight that he couldn’t believe even after seeing it with his wide open eyes.
Paaa-
The sound of the waves has changed.
The calm black night sea was artificially split in half as if a huge square coffin had been inserted.
“Really you…”
Lee Hyuk didn’t say anything more. And it wasn’t just because he was strong.
‘There was an obvious drawback to the telekinesis characteristics of existing hunters.’
Even if the hunter’s mana using the attribute increases, the human brain has a limit. Because humans are not computers.
Telekinesis, among those characteristics, required a particularly high level of computation.
‘If you think about it, it’s only natural.’
The position of the object you want to move.
The weight of the object being moved.
The distance between you and the object you want to move.
From the amount of mana you use to the distance between objects, there are dozens to dozens of factors to pay attention to in telekinesis.
When various environmental variables, such as mana concentration in the field, are added, the simulation required for calculation multiplies.
However, as if Shin Ha-yoon was ridiculing the disadvantages of telekinetic power, he was using an enormous unit of power. It was so easy to use that one expression didn’t change.
“It was like a legend. It’s the curse of the sea king. As expected, Lee Hyuk’s intelligence is amazing.”
Shin Ha-yoon laughed.
Where her gaze rested, the streams of water disappeared, revealing a hidden stairway leading to the island and the seabed.
When Shin Ha-yoon, smiling with a smile, was about to walk towards the stairs, Lee Hyuk stood tall and spoke to Shin Ha-yoon in a serious voice.
“…there’s something I want to ask you.”
“Ask any number.”
“…Your hidden power. Why are you showing me?”
This was Lee Hyuk’s wish.
Could it be that Shin Ha-yoon, who doesn’t open up to anyone, gave her a special treatment? Could it be that he is special?
Lee Hyuk wanted to think so.
However, Shin Ha-yoon’s answer was very feminine.
“…You are more competent than anyone in school. Aren’t you quick on calculations?”
To Lee Hyuk, Shin Ha-yoon’s ability sounded like he was being cowardly.
I’m not really praising myself.
Because you’re smart, you can’t betray me because you’re quick to calculate. i know that Called. It seemed to say so.
‘Of course all. It’s true.’
Shin Ha-yoon and herself are just a give-and-take relationship. It was nothing more than a symbiotic relationship, using each other out of necessity, like a crocodile and a crocodile bird.
However, he couldn’t help the bitterness that lingered on his lips.
“Lee Hyuk? Let’s go. Should I collect the curse of the sea king?”
Hearing Shin Ha-yoon’s voice from the front, Lee Hyuk moved his steps.

Shinsung Group’s splendid mansion.
Certainly, it was fitting to say that there is nothing here.
[Tower 10th floor strategy meeting!]
Sumire knew that Kim Eun-ah had decided on the meeting place, but she never imagined that she would order people to decorate it and even prepare banners like this.
“Wow… this is… serious.”
Sumire and Adela, who were relatively late to participate, entered the meeting room. As if prepared, the lights in the meeting room went out.
Then, Shin Yoo-seong, the party leader, walks out of the darkness.
“Then I will begin to explain.”
Let Shin Yoo-seong move his hand. A hologram shone on the wall of the dark auditorium.
[The 10th floor is the floor where the party quest exists.]
[Quest name: The World of Childhood! Defend the Toy Kingdom!]
[Minimum number of participants: 6]
[Penalty: All challengers will be 7 years old.]
“The most important thing in this raid is the penalty.”
Even if it looks cute just by listening to the explanation, the 10th floor of the tower can be easily attacked only if you are at least level 5. Since we couldn’t be vigilant, all the party members focused with serious faces,
“Are our abilities changing from the age of 7? Or, we don’t know until we enter if it’s lowered by the ‘average value’ set by the tower from now on.”
The top’s penalty puts the contestants on a 7-year-old clock just right. Or it was one of the two, or he cut off his ability based on his own standards.
“Depending on how the penalty is applied. It will depend on which of the party members becomes stronger in combat.”
“Then who becomes stronger at age 7?”
To Kim Eun-ah’s sincere question, Shin Yoo-seong came up with an answer after a short thought.
“maybe. Siu and I have been training since childhood. And maybe like Adela. On the other hand, in the case of the latter, Sumire and Eun-ah. And me and Adela are strong.”
Adela, who showed her natural ability from the age of five, was included in any case.
On the other hand, Eunah Kim and Sumire, who had relatively normal childhoods, showed a big difference between the former and the latter.
“Eunah and Sumire are really at their worst. You may not be able to use your characteristics properly.”
“surely. If you’re 7 years old, except for your specialties… you have zero combat ability. It will be difficult to protect yourself.”
Sumire nodded as if agreeing with Kim Eun-ah’s story.
“me too. If you don’t have traits, you don’t have confidence in battle.
In the case of the two, it was best to somehow come out of the latter case. When the party members finished understanding, Shin Yoo-seong brought up the next important issue.
“Then intelligence and thinking. In this case, I am guessing at least three possibilities.”
Pod!
Yooseong Shin points to the hologram. Amy’s PPT with asterisks and hearts appeared.
[This is very important!]
[Star: ★★★★★]
[1-Intelligence and memory turn 7!]
[ps. If this… is correct, we’re ruined, so we need to eat some popcorn ㅠㅠ]
[2-Intelligence and memory are maintained!]
[ps. Let everyone explode! Let’s finish it in 10 minutes!]
[3-Starts with memory and intelligence maintained, but slowly assimilates to the age of 7. It becomes.]
[ps. It’s ambiguous whether it’s a gain or a loss… but maybe this is right for the balance?]
When her work came out, Amy looked embarrassed and smiled heheh.
“…There is no countermeasure in this case. It would be nice to be number two.”
As Adela said, there were no appropriate countermeasures for memory and intelligence. So far, I’ve just stopped at the state of minding the possibility.
While listening to the announcement, Siwoo Lee suddenly raised his hand.
“…But me. When you turn 7, the recoil is so strong that you can’t actually shoot a gun?”
Let’s bring up a problem that Siwoo Lee hadn’t even thought of. Kim Eun-ah narrowed her eyes with a puzzled face.
“Then, what did you do for shooting practice when you were young?”
Then Siwoo Lee took something out of his pocket with a face of course.
“Of course this is it.”
What Siwoo Lee brought out was an air gun that was better than a toy. The attack on the Toy Kingdom, which is getting more and more difficult. Kim Eun-ah touched her forehead as if her head was hurting.
“…uh?”
At that time, something suddenly popped into Kim Eun-ah’s head. If the age of return is 7 years old, there was a big thing that Kim Eun-ah shouldn’t forget.
“…hey. Yoo Seong-ah. …talk to me.”
Let’s talk about Kim Eun-ah with a pale face during the meeting. Noticing the serious atmosphere, Sumire hurriedly sorted out the situation.
“then! The meeting ends here. Shall we all take a break and sort things out?”
“okay! okay! Eun-ah’s house is so spacious! There’s even a public bath here, and there’s even a golf course! Let’s take a look!”
Let’s cheer up to Amy, who was next to us, and let the atmosphere relax. Shin Yoo-seong was dragged somewhere by Kim Eun-ah’s hand.
* * *
The place where Kim Eun-ah brought Shin Yoo-seong was Kim Eun-ah’s own room. It was a place no one had ever brought, but it was the most suitable place to share secrets.
“Hey, Yoosung. me. That… I have something to say…”
But when Shin Yoo-seong was brought to her room, Kim Eun-ah cleared her throat as if she was embarrassed.
And Eunah Kim.
Knock knock.
“Sit down for now.”
He said knocking on his bed.
“It’s going to be a bit of a long story.”
