chapter 142
142 – Preparation (Complete)
“Seojun. Obviously, the output of the ability is about A rank. And with that level of strength, it could have hurt Mr. Hwaryeon enough.”
“Huh?”
Is ‘output’ an A rank?
The nuance is a little strange.
“Seojun, it’s only been a few months since you learned and used our abilities, hasn’t it?”
“Uh.”
“That’s why we trained you to use your powers as much as possible.”
Certainly, with the help of Jihyeon and Seoyoon, I was able to extract and use this much power in a short period of time.
“For now, that was important.”
Jihyun suddenly lifted a can of soda.
“Now you should be able to use a considerable level of telekinesis. As Seoyoon said, it will be at the level of an A rank.”
Empty soda cans that were floating around using their telekinesis abilities caught my eye.
“But that’s all.”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s all about pumping out power like an idiot.”
“…… What’s the matter?”
When I made a puzzled expression, Jihyun gently tapped his chest with a frustrated expression. It seemed like he was making a gesture that said he couldn’t communicate, but I couldn’t concentrate because my unnecessarily large breasts were bouncing around. Ah, hmmm. Anyway, this isn’t important right now.
“You are spreading your power wide, wide.”
“Wide?”
“Ha…… Seojun, look at this.”
Jihyun sighed once more and pointed at the empty can with his chin.
“I’ll apply some pressure with my telekinesis.”
As I was quietly looking at the empty can, I could tell that it was getting slightly warped. It seemed that he used his telekinetic ability to press the can.
“Did you see it? This is how you use your abilities now. Because he spread his power widely and attacked, he couldn’t do much damage to Hwaryeon. But if you focus your energy in one place…….”
Jihyun quietly concentrated the power of his telekinesis ability into one place.
Then a round hole popped out on the side of the empty can! Broke through
“How is it?”
“What?”
“The telekinesis that had been widely spread was concentrated in one place. No matter how little power you have, if you focus on one point, you can exert quite powerful power.”
It was a really small hole, but I just stared blankly at it.
“Isn’t that the telekinesis ability? The force that moves an object. But how can you pierce a can?”
“Because moving an object is, after all, power. Don’t get too hung up on common sense. What did i say before You said that abilities develop and change depending on how you use them, right? If you gather your telekinesis abilities in one place, you can have considerable destructive power.”
Ji-hyeon put on a triumphant expression.
“If you can concentrate A-rank level psychokinesis in one place, you will be able to hurt Hwaryeoni.”
“Why didn’t you teach me this until now?”
“Wow. He’s funny Do you think about running before walking?”
It was Ji-hyeon who sneered at him.
It was a look of absurdity.
Well, if you think about it, it hasn’t been long since he absorbed his psychokinesis.
Jihyun might have thought that it was premature.
“It seemed like you were getting used to using your telekinesis and freezing abilities, so I tried to tell you, but you pretended to be talking.”
“Sorry.”
I made a small apology scratching the back of my neck.
“Anyway, if I can concentrate and use my psychokinesis ability in one place, would it be okay to consider myself an A-rank person?”
“No.”
Jihyun swallowed a laugh.
“Are you good at being an A-ranked person?”
“No, it’s not like that.”
“Do you know how much it takes to train your abilities to become an A-Rank? It’s not like I got an A rank by some kind of ticking. There are many things to learn from now on, so don’t drink kimchi soup for nothing.”
“Haa…… Is that so?”
I let out a sigh and slightly lowered my shoulders.
It’s not easy to see an A-ranked person.
However, I cannot deny the fact that I recently defeated Hwaryeoni and had several abilities, so I was a bit elated.
If you think about it, defeating Hwaryeon was close to a coincidence.
If you fight again, you will never win.
“Seojun, you won’t be too disappointed.”
“Huh?”
“If you can use the sorcery book I gave you and how to use the psychokinesis ability that your seniors told you about, you’ll be able to say that you’re an A-ranked person. No. Maybe even more.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Seojun doesn’t have only one ability. The proficiency of individual abilities is still lacking, but if you use multiple abilities in combination, you will definitely be evaluated as an A-rank or higher.”
When I looked sullen, Seoyoon spoke to me in a kind voice as if comforting. Just as I was about to cheer up a bit, Jihyun’s sharp voice pierced my ears.
“Yunah Seo. Just don’t say things like that Do you want to see him go wild without understanding the subject?”
“Ah… ….”
“Hey, Seojun Han. Don’t think you’re weird You want to hit the top, right? But you know what? It’s a skill that’s good enough for you to just die.”
“Senpai said a little.”
Seoyoon tried to dissuade her with a bitter expression, but Jihyeon didn’t care and continued to speak.
“Of course I admit that you have become stronger. You should be able to defeat someone with B-rank abilities without difficulty. No, depending on the case, even an A-ranked person could win. Because you don’t have one ability.”
“… ….”
“But the top floor of the tower is really dangerous. Even high-ranking hunters can lose their lives if they make a mistake.”
“…… No, I don’t mean to attack from the top floor.”
“Okay. Is it really so? I don’t think it would, given your personality.”
As Jihyun said, there were times when I thought, ‘I want to quickly reach the top floor of the tower’.
Because you need to clear the tower before Adelin does.
If it is true that the person who conquers the tower first is given the right to make a wish come true, I am a little worried about what Adelin will wish for.
Should I say it by intuition?
I don’t know why, but I felt an ominous feeling.
I never thought I should let Adelin attack the tower first.
“You. If you secretly enter the tower, you know you will die later.”
“Okay, okay. We have to follow the words of our clan leader.”
“Huh. If she has a chance to enter the tower, if it is not Seoyoon, she will go with Yerin. Of course, you can’t go to the top floor, but I’ll allow you up to the beginning of the upper floor.”
“Isn’t it a bit like the beginning of the upper layer with an S rank person?”
“He is really funny. Hey, you’ve never been upstairs, have you? Do you know that there are one or two dark horses like you who have fallen for their lives without having any real combat experience?”
“I just said it once.”
Ji-hyeon was busy yelling at me with a pissed-off face and constantly shooting at me.
Like a mother who left her child at the water’s edge, I could see that I was very worried.
I’m not some kind of kid, he’s too.
“Please don’t be too upset by what the senior said. It was all because he was worried about Seo-joon.”
“Yes. Jihyun is saying that even though she grumbles on the outside, she is secretly kind? I have a lot of worries. This clan was created halfway because of me. Now that I think about it, it’s a bit creepy, isn’t it?”
“Ha. You are talking nonsense.”
“Jihyun-ah, new chimpanzees aren’t popular these days.”
“Who’s a b*tch!”
Ji-hyeon yelled at her as if to hide her embarrassment, but I shrugged her shoulders and smiled mischievously.
Seeing that figure, Ji-hyeon touched her forehead and took a deep breath as if to calm her stomach for a moment.
She finally exhales slowly and starts talking about something else.
“…… After. It’s wheat anyway. Now let’s move on to the main topic.”
“Aren’t you talking too openly?”
Ji-hyeon echoed her words as she did earlier, and Ji-hyeon shook her shoulders, pursed her lips, and ran her hair nervously.
“Enough! In a few days, she will come to ask for cooperation from the Sephiroth, so don’t snoop around for someone you don’t know. Okay?”
“Clan Sephiroth?”
Sefirot Clan Collaboration?
A little puzzled mind welled up.
The Sephiroth Clan is a conglomerate.
It’s not called one of the four major clans for nothing.
Of course, the stock price of the Sephiroth plummeted because Jihyun withdrew, but no matter how much it was, there were only three S-ranked people belonging to the Sephiroth.
Unless it’s really messy, the Sephiroth will digest it on their own…….
“Looks like you found a secret dungeon on the top floor of the tower.”
“A secret dungeon on the top floor?”
“Uh. It’s a catacombs, and from the first entrance they found a lot of gold coins and jewels.”
A secret dungeon on the top floor at this timing?
Wait a minute, does this sound like something you saw in a dream?
At this point, the Sephirot Clan must have formed a raid team to attack the secret dungeon. Maybe?
“Originally, another party discovered the dungeon by chance, but they sold the information to the Sephiroth. I tried for no reason and lost a lot of party members, or something.”
…… Oh, it seems like I can’t remember.
If you think about it, it’s only dim.
“Since it is a secret dungeon that has not been explored on the top floor, it seems that they are thinking of collaborating with some parties and clans to reduce the risk. If it was like the old days, I would have carried out the attack on my own. Have you become more cautious or have you become more fearful? Anyway.”
Jihyun shook his head excitedly. It was a bonus to add the sagittarius saying, ‘It’s like this because I’m not there.’
‘Definitely. In the dream, the Sephiroth Clan did not cooperate with the other. Because at that time, Jihyunie didn’t leave the group. She launched an attack on her own, and it was successful.’
I glanced at Jihyun.
“Is it because of you that the Sephiroth applied for cooperation?”
“Oh. See him?”
Ji-hyeon opened his eyes wide, and then he straightened her waist and made a confident expression.
“Isn’t that obvious? Do you really have to say it?”
It was a very confident voice, so I stared at Ji-hyeon with a ridiculous face, but Ji-hyeon continued to speak without any shame or hesitation.
“Seo Jun-ah, Han Seo-jun. I am Jihyun Lee. I don’t know?”
“Oh, I see.”
I’m a bit confused about whether to say confidence or arrogance, but I can’t deny that Jihyun is a great hunter.
When I glanced sideways at Seoyoon, Seoyoon only smiled a little bitterly.
After washing my face in my mind, I turned my gaze to Jihyun again.
Ji-hyeon licked her lips while crossing her arms.
“Since I used to be the leader of the Sephiroth Attack Team 2, I get along well with my clanmates, I am proficient in Sephiroth strategies and tactics, and it will be of great help to boost my morale. It can be said that it is a reasonable choice in many ways.”
“Well, that sounds like it.”
Until a few months ago, Ji-hyeon was the ace of the Sephirot clan in name and reality. She
She is also considered one of the strongest hunters in South Korea and is a top 10.
It may be a natural step for the Sephirot Clan to ask Jihyun for collaboration.
“Anyway, that’s great. We’re still a small clan and haven’t had any achievements to speak of. If we collaborate with the Sephiroth to attack the secret dungeon on the top floor, we will be able to produce good marketing effects.”
Jihyun smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
“Creating a clan is good, but there have been only a few bad things. Sephiroto’s collaboration must have gone well in many ways. Is not it?”
“But how do you know that information?”
“Ah. I had a rough talk with Seyeon. I also signed a rescue contract.”
“Huh? Okay?”
You have already talked to Jeong Se-yeon, the successor of the Sephiroth.
“I thought you two didn’t get along.”
“Oh, what… ….”
Ji-hyeon trembled once, then smiled bitterly.
“You heard the rumors too? It’s strange that you don’t know.”
Ji-hyeon, who clenched her chin, sighed with a bitter expression.
“I don’t really hate Seyeon, but Seyeon didn’t. What. From Seyeon’s point of view, I don’t deserve it.”
There were rumors of discord between Jihyun and Jeong Seyeon in various ways.
For that reason, when Jihyuni declared that she would leave the Sephiroth Clan, rumors circulated that it was because of Jeong Seyeon.
“First of all, it’s a business. Seyeon will also distinguish between work and life.”
“Yes.”
“Anyway, the real story will be in a few days. It’s because Seyeon decided to come directly.”
“But there are three people in our clan. Are you thinking of collaborating on your own?”
“Do you happen to want to go?”
Ji-hyeon loosened her forehead and glared at me with her bulging eyes. Ah. Really. I can’t say a word.
“Hey. Seojun Han. How did you hear what I said earlier?”
“Jihyun-ah.”
“No one knows how dangerous it is, but I want to go there… ….”
“Jihyun-ah.”
I gently placed my hand on Jihyun’s shoulder.
Jihyun flinched and shivered before looking up at me.
“What if you could know the monsters and traps that haunt them?”
“What?”
“If I tell you the weak points of the monsters living there and how to attack them, will you take me with you?”
“What nonsense is that? How do you know that?”
Jihyun made an incomprehensible expression, but I continued to lick my lips with a faint smile and a calm voice.
“Actually, Jihyun-ah.”
I cleared my throat for a moment.
A secret dungeon that the Sephiroth Clan will attack.
The name of the secret dungeon is the Great Mausoleum of the Catacombs.
After much thought, I could barely recall it.
Of course, it was a vague memory, but I found out the types and weaknesses of some monsters, terrain and traps, etc.
The Great Mausoleum of the Catacombs, where countless dead are buried, was difficult to capture with ordinary methods.
My memory will surely help.
“I also have foresight.”
I made up my mind to hit Jihyeon with Gura once.
If you can prove to Ji-hyeon that you are helpful in this top-level secret dungeon, it will be easier to convince Ji-hyeon later when you enter the top layer separately.
For the sake of the future, I will take this opportunity to show it to Jihyun.
Regressor’s privilege.
