Chapter 155

Episode 155 Seo Ina (2)

[If she had been properly treated, she would not have died.]

The doctor’s words were shocking. Grandmother said that she was not terminally ill. If I had money, I could have lived. The doctor said so in a low voice.

At first I was angry.

Is Grandma tired of life? taking care of me?

Even though I knew I shouldn’t have thought that way, I was perverse.

Accidents constantly made me sink below the surface.

Grandma abandoned me

could buy more

However, he gave up on life.

At that moment, I was left completely alone in the world.

[it’s hard. If this was going to happen, I should have taken me too…….]

Even in the midst of that, I missed Grandma.

Even though I thought you were the one who abandoned me. Why?

Maybe it was because I was an idiot who didn’t study well.

I wanted to see my grandmother.

* * *

You have to make money.

The accident went to one place.

I didn’t tell my aunt properly, but I changed my school of choice again.

Radar Professional Academy. It was Milles Academy.

I tried to endure each day somehow and endure the hellish days.

He battled over and over again and devoted himself to training every day.

However, I had nothing except for the aptitude that I was born with excellently from the beginning.

Even if a sponsor tried to attach an excellent aptitude, the legal guardian, the aunt, called for an excessively high down payment, and it failed every time.

After that, I continued to practice without any good equipment.

He hit a scarecrow that had been specially treated with magical power, and practiced magic forcibly while wearing greasy iron equipment received with minimal support from the state.

Even that wasn’t the end. envy and envy of others.

Because I had the best aptitude in the country, negative reactions from others naturally followed.

There are many people in the world who hate others for no reason.

It was around this time that I realized that.

[Seo or isn’t that fucking unlucky? He flirts about saying that he has some natural aptitude.

] No matter what you look like, you look pretty. There must be a lot of money.]

[I heard it’s not? They said they had no parents and the house was completely dog hair.]

[A. That’s right, if a sponsor is attached, I’ll try to do more, so what’s the problem? Fucking a fucking dog. Shuttles who use magic behind the scenes are campaigning that they have good aptitude.]

[That’s why I’m not living on my pride. I have no friends.]

I heard ridicule and contempt for me. similar feelings.

To my fellow Awoken trainees, I was a common enemy to hate.

His expression, which had turned into a blunt expression due to his worn out heart, had suddenly turned into narcissism, which only knew himself, and whenever he showed off his skills properly, he heard a muffled and cursing voice behind him.

Most of the boys approached by looking at their faces.

where should i be

Where should I be

I think it was around that time.

that’s what i thought

* * *

One evening after several months of practice life.

As always that day, on the way back from training, my aunt called me after a long time.

I didn’t want to receive it, but if I didn’t, I would have to nag her later, so I forced myself to pick up the receiver.

at that time. A story I heard from my aunt. This was enough to piss me off.

[The sponsor contract is over. The training guild decided to take you with you. Now all I need is your signature. Come back and sign it.]

I was angry.

training guild. Of course, it’s not a bad place and I’ve heard that the financial power is great, but isn’t this my life?

Don’t you have the slightest respect for your aunt?

That’s why I got angry for the first time.

[…Why on earth is your aunt deciding that! It’s my life!]

However, the answer that came back was cold.

[Where are you screaming? I have to pay the price for raising her. Where is this?]

[…What did my aunt do for me!]

It was the first time I had ever said something like that, but the sentences came out very skillfully.

What I wanted to say every moment.

But I didn’t expect it to be done this way.

But my aunt was still only laughing.

[You’re messing around. It should be fortunate that it wasn’t sold anywhere.]

[What?]

It was funny. That person is my aunt. It was blood.

But how could you say something like that to your nephew?

is that really a person?

Have I thought of such a person as my family and endured hardships until now?

However, the aunt seemed to think that her words had been taken, and continued with an overbearing tone.

[Don’t climb up, do what I tell you to do. Then I’ll give you some pocket money.]

I couldn’t stand it any longer.

I clenched my fists and held back my tears as I spoke.

[…Because I don’t need it. Say you won’t sign the contract.]

[What? This is the end…!]

[I’ll hang up.]

I hung up my aunt’s phone for the first time that day and stayed out overnight.

With nowhere else to go, I stayed at a cafe until dawn.

And what unfolded in front of my eyes when I returned to pack my luggage in the approaching dawn.

They were demonic beasts pouring out through the burning aunt’s house and the open gate.

* * *

[Stand up! help me now! You’re an Awakener, so I don’t know what you can do!]

A worm-type monster that came up from the floor.

The guy holding my aunt was a monster I often encountered in textbooks.

I knew very well how to deal with it. Use a sound bomb to deafen and attack using a cold weapon in time to rise from the ground.

I knew. How to do it.

Even if I was an inferior student who was weak in theory and couldn’t progress properly, I remembered that much enough.

But grades were a problem.

Worm is a monster that exceeds C-class. It was a powerful enemy that I, who had not yet become a radar, could not face.

at that time. A worm started approaching me, who couldn’t take his feet off.

I laughed at the enemy.

strong and fearful But if you can catch that guy’s demon, it’s a world where you’re treated.

It’s not difficult.

It was a world where the barbaric method of force became one force and law.

For a moment, what came to my mind was one unshakable truth.

If you don’t kill that guy, I will die.

But if you can kill, you can live many times more comfortably than others.

I will never back down.

the moment you decide.

Brilliant light began to flow from my body, which suddenly decided to face Worm.

―You have acquired the active skill 《Alfheim’s Sword》!

Awesome!

A unique skill was manifested. After slashing the enemy with one blow, I took a deep breath.

The sensation of cutting the skin was completely different from hitting a textbook or a scarecrow. It was cold, chilly, and heterogeneous.

As soon as I cut off the demon’s death, I remembered a person’s face.

[Do what you want to do. I don’t want to see my granddaughter get hurt.]

Grandma’s last words seemed to play clearly in my head.

I saw the undead worm under my feet and my aunt’s family on the verge of being attacked.

Even though they were in danger of dying, why? I couldn’t move at all.

[What are you doing! What to do now!]

[What to do quickly!]

When I heard the voices of my aunt’s family again, I understood why I was hesitating without being able to save them.

Those are the people who hurt me and my grandmother.

He planted deep trauma and made me suffer every day, as well as beating me to death.

For a fleeting moment, such a thought crossed my mind.

Do I really have to save them?

It was not difficult to draw conclusions.

[Aunt.]

So.

[I’m not going to save my aunt.]

I decided not to save them.

And I still don’t regret that choice.

* * *

After hearing the story, Jaehyun frowned and fell into thought. Though he thought that he too was born with an unfortunate fate. In the case of Seo Eana, it was a sad tragedy in a different direction.

Jae-hyun, who has been through domestic violence, knows the pain of it, of course, but…

Feeling betrayed and skeptical about the family left behind. The judgment that caused her aunt to die in front of her eyes was not something that could be easily made, no matter how recreated it was.

“……Are you disappointed in me?”

At Seo Ina’s words, Jaehyun immediately shook his head.

“no. rather thank you It must have been a trauma, but for telling me.”

It would have been difficult for her to tell the story.

Jaehyun only knew that there was a hidden story behind Seo Eana, but she had no idea that such a sad story existed.

just a successful person. To Jaehyun, Eana Seo was just that.

‘Of course not now.’

Jaehyun met Seo Eana’s eyes.

“So you think you found it? where you should be.”

“……huh. I think so.”

Saying so, Seo Ina looked at Jaehyun for a while.

Jaehyun knew exactly what that gaze meant.

Because he also met his colleagues and had the same mind.

It was only natural that her image changed.

However.

Aside from that, Jaehyun felt sorry for her story.

‘I don’t know the conditions for acquiring unique skills yet. It feels so inelegant. After all, if I knew all the methods, I would have unlocked the unique skills of dogs and cows.’

At first, I thought that the desire to save others might be the catalyst.

However, after hearing Seo Eana’s story, I decided that this would not be the case.

Seo Eana did not save her aunt’s family. I let him die and I still think it was the right decision.

If altruism was the cornerstone for awakening one’s strength, Seo Ina should not have awakened her own skills.

“……Did you find any hints about the unique skill awakening?”

“yet. But you will find it soon.”

Jaehyun deliberately said that to reassure Seo Ina.

Seo Ina pondered for a moment and touched the teacup, then asked.

“That day.”

Jaehyun was a bit taken aback by Seo Ina, who rarely spoke up.

I don’t know what to talk about, but it seemed like a pretty sensitive thing.

Jaehyun asked again, trying to erase his embarrassment.

“that day?”

“……huh. The day we had a meat party at Yoo-jung’s house. …… why did you cry?”

Jaehyun’s pupils shook violently.

Come to think of it, Eana Seo asked the same thing that day. She, who thought she was not interested in others, showed curiosity to herself and asked this question first.

No, it’s not just curiosity. affection as a colleague.

Perhaps that changed Seo Eana little by little.

But apart from that, answering these questions has always been difficult.

It was still awkward for Jaehyun to reveal his true feelings. I can count on one hand that I told my story to my old friend Kim Yoo-jung.

He hadn’t even mentioned anything about his father.

But now I have to tell you.

‘Because I mustered up the courage too.’

Of course, I had no intention of even talking about regression.

Maybe I could share at least one word as a colleague.

Jaehyun smiled lightly at that thought.

“It was hard.”

Hearing those words, an unknown emotion came to Seo Ina’s face.

Finally, I was able to hear the true intentions of Jaehyun.

last few months. The period of knowing Jae-hyeon wasn’t that long, but there was a time when I was worried that he might not believe in me.

It was like that even during the simulated dungeon.

He hid his powers and asked to keep them a secret. I hadn’t properly told her why she was hiding that power.

But such a representation. Now tell yourself what’s inside

It is also the weakest part of human beings.

“Because I was so immersed in the goal of becoming stronger. I think I was a little tired.”

“……I see.”

Seo In-na looked at Jae-hyun’s face and replied.

What kind of goal does Jaehyun have so he only looks forward and runs?

Despite Jaehyun’s awkwardness in telling his story, he tried to force it.

“The reason I’m so obsessed with becoming stronger…”

“You don’t have to tell me now.”

So Eana Seo decided to take care of Jaehyun first.

He’s strong, but he’s not without weaknesses.

It was satisfying enough just to hear that Jaehyun was having a hard time right now.

I feel like a real colleague now.

Feeling a slight elation, Seo Eana gazed at Jaehyun.

And then.

He had a very bright smile that was rare to see before.

“……I think you will tell me someday.”

I believe in you.

In Seo Eana’s eyes, there was deep trust in Jaehyun.

Jaehyun unknowingly laughed at that smile.
