chapter 141
141 – Olympic Break (3)
Of course, Eugene’s ultimate goal at this moment is to win a medal at this Olympics and not be taken to the military.
For that very purpose, he was making various efforts to improve the national team’s strength, such as teaching the players the ‘basics’ or acting as a teacher who was not even in his prime.
And now, Eugene’s subtly revealing that he can, in fact, use thoughts in reality could also be said to be part of that.
However, at the same time, he needed a lot of attention to reveal that he was actually a returnee from this world.
In fact, if Eugene puts his mind to it, it would be easy for him to prove to the skeptical Earthlings that he is a hero who returned from this world.
If you just put everything else aside and broadcast Yuria’s realization in reality through [Fight of the Sword] Live on Mutube, the effect will be very clear.
‘Instead, I will be taken not to the military but to a military-related research facility.’
If Eugene had all the power he had during his Hero days, he might not have even cared about such minor dangers.
Because it was impossible to invade Eugene’s completed body with modern weapons that did not contain magical power.
I don’t know if it would be a little dangerous even for Eugene if he launched something like a nuclear weapon… Even if he used the realm of thought well, he had many ways to deal with it.
Perhaps, if he planned well, it might not have been completely impossible for him to fight against the entire Korean army.
However, at this point, Eugene has lost almost all of his strength as a hero and is nothing but a remnant, with only traces remaining.
The laws of this world and the other world were clearly different, making it impossible to use magic power, and the use of willpower was only a small amount compared to its heyday.
In other words, even if Eugene is a ‘warrior from another world’, if Eugene at this point in time acts out more than necessary, he cannot avoid the ending of being kidnapped by a government research institute.
Anyway, regardless of everything else, the point is that balance is important.
In order to get others to shut up and do what Eugene tells them to do, they must implicitly make them realize that he is not an ordinary person but something special.
However, it is too dangerous, at least at this point, to openly reveal that he is a hero.
So, in this way, we only show off the residual talent of subtly using the idea in reality.
It’s not enough to make other people look at Eugene and immediately call the government agency, but it’s just the right amount to make them exclaim, “That’s fun.”
First of all, the element of intention is not an unreasonable element like magic or magical power, but something whose existence has been scientifically proven, and if you speak well, using it in reality is not completely absurd.
Of course, people on Earth have a tendency to not trust anything other than what they see with their own eyes, so they have to put on a performance that can focus their attention.
So this is what I chose.
Using intention, cut the water in half.
It feels like something amazing, but at the same time, it is useless in real life and is just a performance full of bravado.
“Woah, you cut the water in half?”
“Dae, how on earth?”
“I saw that in a classic movie. That… There’s that movie where God appears in reality. “It’s exactly the same as that, isn’t it?”
As the professional players watched with their eyes wide open, Eugene tapped the table with his fingers.
“Sia, I explained it to you several times when I taught you the realm of thought. “What on earth is intention?”
“… Uh, so… It is a phenomenon in which the world in virtual reality is modified to fit that will when the will of an individual human transcends the system in the game… “
Eugene nodded his head at Sia’s stuttering explanation.
“Okay. Intention is not a system installed by the company that created the virtual reality game, but is one of the ‘phenomena’ that occurs when humans play virtual reality games. So, if human will can reach the world, it means that in theory it is not completely impossible to use will in reality Isn’t that right?”
And while listening to Eugene’s explanation, all the players gathered here made strange expressions.
All of the people gathered here were people who dealt with high-level issues within ‘Thousands’, so they knew very well what Eugene was talking about.
“The same goes for building a field of thought. Just as I used thoughts in reality, you too must use them with the sense of bringing out the images you have in your mind and overlaying them on reality. If you try to build a realm of thought with the sense of using skills as usual, it will be impossible even if you try hard.”
A stereotypical idea and way of thinking that considers the element called intention only as an element like a skill in a game, not as one’s own strength.
You may not know it, but it is clear that this is the biggest obstacle for professional athletes to use their mental domain.
Well, it’s not like Eugene doesn’t understand why they can’t shake off those stereotypes.
Because when Eugene fell into this world, it took quite a while for him to come to think of unscientific elements such as mana and magic as natural.
“…”
“…”
Meanwhile, all the players here just keep their mouths shut and stare intently at the water that has been split in half.
Well, since such a ridiculous thing happened right in front of their eyes, it’s only natural for them to like react that.
Since Eugene personally used his will to perform this kind of performance, even if he does not make a big fuss, I think there will be a few people who will gradually realize the truth.
“Tongue, brother.”
Breaking the silence, Lewis, who was sitting next to Cheonhwa, lifted his finger and stuttered to open his mouth.
“The water, the water split in half… And it is possible to use the idea in real life… So, that means… “
Yes, now you will have no choice but to admit it.
The fact that it is possible to use intention not only in virtual reality but also in reality.
And the fact that Eugene, who knows how to use his will even in real life, is by no means an ordinary person!
Like that, Eugene stared at Louis’ mouth with some kind of expectation.
Truly regrettable, the words that came out of Lewis’s mouth were something far beyond Eugene’s imagination.
“I never thought they would even plan an event like this to teach us, the bad guys, a lesson… !”
“… “What?”
Event? What on earth is this guy talking about?
When Eugene looks dumbfounded because he doesn’t understand what Lewis said, Lewis opens his mouth towards him with an expression that seems to be in tears.
“In order to expand the scope of your thoughts, you must unfold your thoughts with all your heart, even if it is in a game… This must have been the lesson you wanted to give us, right? Isn’t that why you showed off the magic trick of cutting water in half in front of us?”
“… Does this look like magic to you now?”
When Eugene points to the glass of water that is broken in half with an expression of bewilderment, Louis bursts out laughing at Eugene.
“Then how can a person cut water in half except through magic? I don’t know yet, but there must be some kind of trick hidden there, right?”
When Lewis said that, the players around him also nodded their heads as if they agreed with what Lewis said.
“Now that I think about it, I saw someone cutting water in half on Mutube Shorts. “I heard it uses the principle of surface tension or something.”
“Oh, I found a video on MuTube. This is it. “It’s very similar to what Soma did.”
While saying that, one player went out of his way to find a video of someone cutting water in half with a knife and showed it to everyone present.
Eugene also watched the video with everyone else, but when it came to his impressions, he was just speechless.
‘How is that video the same as what I just showed you, you bastards?’
In the video, you can clearly see that he is using a specially processed knife to cut the water, but didn’t Eugene just cut the water in half with his finger
But what on earth is this the same?
And why are these bastards so stubbornly denying what happened right in front of them?
Are you saying I really did something right before your eyes?
“Wow, I almost thought it was possible to use intention in real life.”
“No, from now on, you have to train with the mindset that you can use your will in real life as well. Because that is the lesson Soma wanted to give us today.”
“Oh, I see. Soma, thank you so much!”
“…”
In a cruel reality where there was no one who would listen to anyone, Eugene ended up closing his eyes tightly.
‘You damn earthlings.’
Why on earth don’t these bastards believe what other people say sincerely?
Should I just prepare to be taken to a research facility today, materialize Altina in front of these bastards, and then use my powers?
No matter how much these bastards are, wouldn’t they have no choice but to believe Eugene’s words when they see Seoul being destroyed in [March of Destruction]?
Eugene thought that with a very sincere heart.
