Acquired the Supernatural Ability to Recover Like Crazy

chapter 22



22 – How about quitting the test?

The stiletto used by Bloodseeker in the previous battle was rather large for a dagger.

When the long crimson sword pierced the torso, how painful it was. It was hard to keep my spirits up.

“That’s why it’s classified as an artifact.”

Perhaps he guessed what he was thinking, Baek Yeon-ho added. He was immediately convinced. Artifacts are things that defy common sense.

Well, like Tommy, there are artifacts that transform into various weapons, but I wonder if they can’t get smaller.

“As a result of detailed analysis, we received a report that it is not a magic tool that has a negative effect on the user. Since you were able to capture the Bloodseeker purely on your own merits, you have the right to own the loot. Will you accept it?”

To be honest, all I did was become a meat shield. Still, there was no reason not to receive the goods he had brought.

“I will use it well.”

“Good thing. I’ll just go Good luck with the rest of your exams.”

“Yes.”

An announcement came just in time.

[At 2:00 PM, the closed entrance exam for the Department of Hero will be held. Participants, please check other information on the bulletin board in front. I would appreciate it if the professors in charge escort the students to the test center by the scheduled time. We will inform you once again. Afternoon… ….]

I already know the professor in charge, but I was curious about who was assigned to the same group. I went to the message board and checked.

[Aren’t you curious about the next test?]

As I read through the list among the crowd, Mad Genius sent me a telepathic call. He was dumbfounded, so he answered right away.

[Is that cheating?]

[It’s okay. Aren’t you telepathic for that?]

It was great that he didn’t deny that it was cheating. Is this person really a professor?

[You were talking to me telepathically the other day, General Dong caught you. Telepathy, is that safe?]

[That’s what makes him special. Who in the world can visually capture and interpret the auras that make up telepathy? It is a particle that cannot be captured even with a precise machine.]

[…] ….]

[Oh? Yes. Student Bi Eun-hyeon also said that she could see the spiritual energy. But you cannot interpret it just by looking at it. A little complicated process has to be added, but there are really few people who can do that.]

For some reason, I didn’t bother saying that I could do it. Because it hasn’t been decided yet.

While checking the tables, familiar numbers and names caught my eye.

#12314

Only the number may be the same. I looked around. There was a person who seemed to be in bad shape.

Two horns sprouting from its head. It was a physical characteristic possessed by demons like Dirakit.

Benioros, originally, would have been assigned to the same group as Cha Yeon-hwa.

It must be the butterfly effect, with more mad geniuses in the faculty and more me among the participants.

I thought about it. Would it be better to quietly use the events of the original story? Or is it right to avoid dangerous situations early by notifying others?

If professors don’t intervene in every process, what’s the point?

[You really don’t need my help? This is not an opportunity that comes every day.]

[Rather than that, would it be all right if the departure time was delayed by 2 minutes?]

[What happened….]

[Participant #12314, Status.]

[…] … Well, I roughly understood it.]

I walked in front of Benioros. Dark circles on a pale face. This was the level at which it would be useful to maintain consciousness.

I’ve been thinking about it, but I thought it was reasonable to hand over the choice to the person himself.

This was neither goodwill nor mercy. It is an action taken to know the original work.

A personality flaw that this guy showed in the manga. If you remember that, no matter what I say, you will never listen.

On the contrary, I might be in trouble for bringing up the story. Benioros was very good at juicing. Still, he intended to speak out.

A statement in a public place serves as a piece of evidence. And beyond the CCTV, the evaluation of the professors was already in progress.

“What, what happened… Are you?”

“Why don’t you stop taking the test?”

***

“…… What did you say?”

“I said how about quitting the exam.”

“That…… , Are you giving up?”

“Yes.”

Benioros was perplexed.

What kind of resentment does a man who made it to first place in an open exam say such a thing?

Give up? I tried so hard to get to this place, but it felt like the whole process was mercilessly trampled on.

“Maybe…… Because I’m a demon?”

“That’s right.”

My head pounded at the answer. Thought at the same time. Demon hatred is rampant in this world. In fact, I think it has to be.

Because demons are cruel beings who steal people’s bodies, violate them, and try to harass them.

Therefore, there were times when Benioros was disgusted with the fact that he was also mixed with devil’s blood. But he himself is human.

The law also states that demons must be respected as human beings. And yet, there are bad people she identifies with the devil.

‘Racist.’

You came to me without any contact and told me to stop. This is undoubtedly proof of racism. Because they hate Mine to advance into society.

It was a very wrong delusion, but Benioros, who suffered from racism many times since he was born, was convinced that it was right.

To survive a situation like this, you know how to behave. A small, weak appearance of oneself. You can use this.

“Sorry, sorry… …. I know you don’t like me, but.”

Benioros intentionally mentioned the Mine. Even as she burst into tears, she spoke clearly enough to be heard by those around her.

“Even if you say that, I can’t force you to quit…… !”

Crowds gather at that cry.

“What happened?”

“I heard you told the other contestants to quit?”

“Really? By what right?”

“Well?”

People are starting to pay attention.

“Bastard, I knew this would happen someday.”

In the meantime, someone interrupted by swearing. Benioros was the first man he had ever seen. However, Bi Eun-hyeon recognized that face. He was Seo Yong-gon, a graduate of the same school.

‘He passed this.’

Obviously, Seo Yong-gon was an awakened person, and he was a lame loser to Bi Eun-hyeon, who was an ordinary person at the time, when fighting each other. He said that the first step only looks at the physical, but he thought it was quite good.

“Because you become an Awakener and get stronger. Does your surroundings look funny? Well, even when I was a normal person, I wasn’t that lucky.”

With an aggressive and hostile response, he recalled the past. Seo Yong-gon had always hated Bi Eun-hyeon.

There is a reason. It was after he confessed to Cheon Ji-ye and was beaten for two hours that he became a bouncer.

According to common sense, she should have hated Cheon Ji-ye, the victim of the assault, but Seo Yong-gon, funny enough, came to hate Bi Eun-hyeon.

After that, for the next three years, I would look down on you whenever we made eye contact. The title that will receive the grand prize if you give it a prize.

I thought it was a joke in its own way that such a person would say that the surroundings were funny.

“What are you, look at someone else and tell him to stop. Are you that good? An open exam, frankly. It’s not like you won first place with your skills.”

[I think there is a difficult misunderstanding. Can you help me?]

[No. That’s Okay.]

There were a lot of people. There was even a guy who argued, but Bi Eun-hyeon was calm.

He had a lot of embarrassing experiences in his previous life. At least, I wasn’t distracted by the murmurs of dozens of people.

[Okay, two minutes have passed. May I depart?]

[Give me one more minute.]

[That’s right. 60 Seconds. 59 Seconds. 58 Seconds…….]

I ignored Seo Yong-gon lightly. The thing he was cursed at was the number of things he took advantage of during the exam. He stepped up to Benioros.

“The explanation was insufficient.”

He flinched and stepped back. It wasn’t intentional this time.

Ordinary people feel embarrassed and ashamed when a crowd gathers and a movement criticizes them.

I used to take evasive moves like apologizing or running away to get out of the situation.

By the way, Bieunhyeon was straight. He neither avoided the buzz nor turned away from the situation. He backed away because he was afraid of his self-confidence.

“The reason I recommended you to quit was that your body was causing Reiki exhaustion.”

Reiki exhaustion.

This is a phenomenon that occurs when an Awakener overuses aura.

Just as there must be a certain amount of blood in a person’s body, there must be a certain amount of aura in the body of an awakened person.

Isn’t it the energy of the soul in the first place? If it is lacking, you will feel extreme physical and mental fatigue. If continued, permanent functional impairment occurs. What if it runs out? Die.

This phenomenon occurred quite frequently.

This was because unless someone had excellent aura sensitivity, even in their own body, they could not feel how much aura was left. The prognostic symptoms were also very quiet.

The death rate is high in the Department of Heroes. Spiritual exhaustion contributed greatly to the mortality rate of enrolled students.

However, this alone does not provide justification for the act of encouraging others to give up.

To be honest, whether or not you die while taking the test isn’t your choice. It should have been an over-the-top meddlesome. But people’s reactions have changed.

“Reiki exhaustion?”

“Isn’t that dangerous?”

Amidst the buzz, Seo Yong-gon’s expression was distorted in embarrassment. It was because Benioros was a demon.

The devil is a conceptual being. Since it has no substance, it cannot simply interfere with the human world. In order to exercise authority, even trivial things were fine, so a medium was needed.

The most suitable thing there is the body of a demon. Even though he is half a demon, he still has substance.

The demons of the underworld always aim for the demon’s body, but they can’t because their souls dwell there. However, when Mine dies or falls into spiritual exhaustion, the story changes.

The devil can easily possess the body of the devil.

Flame, a blue flame rose from Benioros’ hand.

“Does this still look like I’m exhausted? Don’t worry unnecessarily.”

After saying that, I ran away as if running away.

-Isn’t that a dangerous situation?

-Demons can descend.

-Professors will take care of it.

The buzz continued, but no one intervened.

Because the flame Benioros showed was so vivid, everyone was unsure whether it was a spiritual exhaustion or not.

[…] … 1 Sec. End.]

“I will move to the test center from now on.”

Walking, Mad Genius sent telepathy.

[So, did you do what you wanted to do? It seemed like I couldn’t do anything, but it must be my mood?]

It was a way of speaking that wanted to make fun of something. In a way, it was natural. At best, they insisted on spiritual exhaustion, but only a strange disturbance occurred. Situationally, nothing has changed.

[Professor, you know that. That guy is exhausted.]

[Yes, of course. I could see the dangerously diminished flow of aura. However, Baekwoon’s faculty should not interfere with applicants participating in the exam.]

[What if someone becomes dangerous?]

[Yes, faculty cannot interfere.]

[That’s fortunate.]

[Yes?]

Mad Genius turned his head to non-eunhyun.

It was a smile that could be described as evil.
