Regress and Eat

Sigh lightly.

The rumors could be true.

Seo Jin-wook, who was destined to become the next guild leader of the Celestial Dragon Guild if he grew up well, actually had a fatal flaw in his mind.

He's in serious trouble with a Class A Hunter.

'The rumors of mental illness ended with Hunters, because they had been desperate for a year since they woke up?'

They died before the bad rumors even spread.

I asked Kim's assistant, looking at me with suspicious eyes.

“Can I ask you a few more questions? ”

Kim's secretary clenched his finger on his chin as if it were strange.

Kim's secretary had a big head because he could reasonably understand the childish word "pumpkin head."

He tilts his big head.

“Sir, you really don't remember? ”

“Stop answering the same question. ”

I blocked the persistent confirmation of the memory and asked.

“Have I done so many crazy things? ”

After speaking a few words, Kim's secretary doesn't seem to be speechless because he cares about his superiors.

I asked him directly because I didn't think he would want to know or avoid the answer.

Then, the answer that came back did not betray expectations.

He snorts.

“Have you done a lot of crazy things? It's more likely that the mind would have come back from time to time. ”

“What kind of things? For example?”

“If you start with something light, you usually get a lot of nervousness even when nothing is going on, suddenly you get anxious, suspicious about people around you for no reason · ·. ”

Cases are listed.

Think extreme, irrationally aggressive, distort reality and accept it · ·.

It seems to be close to borderline personality disorder.

I have never studied psychology, but the contents of the book I read lightly come to me clearly, one by one.

“You can say you've done all the stars. The real threat is that at some point, Yama suddenly loses her mind. Ordinary people can't stand the insubordination. It's a specimen of rage control disorder. ”

Dysregulation.

Confirmed in the document.

“A man who was born to express the tannery. Once you get it wrong, you become extremely violent. Hit, throw, tear · · · and then self-inflict if anger is not released. ”

Self-inflicted?

What a madman.

“Also, you spend so much time and money that you don't understand. Thanks to this, there are billions of gambling debts that the guild has paid off and billions of foreign cars that can't drive. ”

Impulsive disorder.

“Apart from that, there's something inside you, and you're suffering from the sound of strange voices whispering to you. ”

Delusional.

It's a complete psychotic set.

“That's it, isn't there a rumor out there? ”

“As a guild, I'm desperately trying to catch up. But rumors have spread among the hunters. ”

The arrest seemed to have been somewhat successful even after Seo Jin-wook awakened.

In his previous life, he was noted as promising to lead the future for a short period of time from the moment of awakening to death. Talent is also a talent, but rumor has it that potential Mana will excel any hunter in Korea.

'The only reason a lifetime of evil spreads is because of the powerful narrative that will cover it.'

Then again · · · ·.

I focused my mind on Mana Core from the moment I woke up.

It is not activated yet and has no potential to move with free materials, but my unique skill was observable.

And then I did.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

I think I was struck by lightning.

I tried to hide my shocked expression.

“What's the matter? ”

Swallows a soliloquy inside.

Oh, my god.

“Why is it suddenly quiet again? ”

I had no time to answer.

I stare at the unactivated Mana, crouching like solid water in this body.

Absolutely overwhelming.

The whole body was shaken.

I feel like I'm looking into an abyss where the bottom is invisible and the end cannot be measured.

Compared to Hibiki's active mana during its heyday, it does not lag behind.

Gulp.

Swallow dry saliva and take a light sigh.

"You really were a monster, Seo Jin-wook. '

If I did not die quickly, then I think that if I succeeded in activating all of these potential mana, I might have changed the history itself, not only by leaving a name in history.

'· · · · · · · Hold on.'

Change history?

I was able to clearly visualize all Mana, but one idea was about to emerge from me and my current body, which was once a poor level of potential Mana.

I ask.

“Your 19th birthday is coming up? How to Awaken with Awakening Stone? ”

Awakening as a Hunter is one of two ways.

1. Life comes to a state of extreme awareness.

2. Use 'Awakening Stone’ from the artifacts from the dungeon.

The easiest and most widely used method of course was the second one.

“Of course. They even have a premium Awakening Stone, especially from a Class A dungeon. Even if you use something from a grade F dungeon, you'll definitely be awake. Not one or two guild members have witnessed a panic attack every time the lid is opened. I saw it with my own eyes. ”

There are those who express uncontrollable power in emotional excitement even before awakening.

This proves that there is enough potential for Mana in the body, and there is a 100% chance that these people will awaken only if they have conditions.

Seo Jinwook seemed to have been one of them.

“When is my birthday? ”

Kim looks at me with strange eyes again.

“Just a week from now. ”

In a week's time, I will contact the Awakening Stone in the presence of the Hunter administration and become a Hunter.

Pursuant to the international norms of this era, deliberate awakening attempts by anyone not 19 years of age are illegal.

On the surface, the intention is to limit the right to self-determination to protect teenagers, but if you look closely, you will prevent as much as possible from showing children weapons of mass destruction.

'A week later · · · ·.'

This is what I'm thinking about.

My current state.

Choi Seung-hyun's soul, who has already been Awakened as a Hunter, is already possessed in Seo Jin-wook's body before Awakening, with a unique skill.

There are no signs of Awakening on Seo Jin-wook's body. In other words, the soul has awakened, but the body has a sense of taste.

Then, when collectively judging this condition, did "I" awaken or not?

What happens when you contact the Awakening Stone in this state? '

Deep wrinkles appear on the forehead.

Then Kim looked at me quietly.

Piri!

The phone rings and Kim checks the recipient, then frowns.

“Yes, hello? No, it's still your bedroom. ”

You hear someone outside the handset screaming in anger.

Kim showed a gesture to lift his finger and went out the bedroom door.

And after a few minutes of talking, I opened the door again and came into the bedroom.

“I can't. We have to go now. The guild leader insists.”

Seems inevitable to meet him.

*

It took me a few minutes to walk to the office of Seo Jin-wook's father, the leader of the Heavenly Dragon Guild.

This house was designed for the guild leader and his immediate relationship. It is more appropriate to say "king" than "house." You will once again realize what the heavenly dragon guild was like in this age.

Various civilizations and dimensions of art and valuables, which are not valued, have sometimes encountered employees in long hallways with exhibitions.

Every time they found me, their faces stiffened. I tried my best to keep my face as pale as possible, but I couldn't hide it until my complexion turned pale.

“I guess I'm notorious. ”

Kim's assistant replies confidently.

“Notoriety? It's high. It's almost natural disaster class. ”

Anyway, he doesn't take no for an answer.

“Huh?"

Walking like that, I encountered a man who stood in our way as if he was waiting.

He called me.

“Team Leader Seo Jin-wook. ”

Eyes meet.

A muscle-bound body with a small height that looks less than 170. Short shaved hair.

I had the impression of some hunter left in my head.

“Park Chang-hee Hunter · · ·. ”

Just before becoming a possession, Seo Jin-wook began to argue and failed to feed the flying kick.

Park Chang-hee, who met us, said in a bold tone.

“I was waiting in the mansion. I'm glad you're awake. ”

The expression on his face seemed to have taken off his emotions.

At first glance.

But I noticed a strange glimpse in his eyes.

That's suspicious.

Most of my past life has been hunted from the Hunter's Edition. I've been through all these things. He did not make the front lines, but was unconditionally present for political negotiations and peacekeeping among the hunters.

I can't fool those eyes. Something is awkward.

Answer with vigilance.

“What's going on? ”

“Of course I came to apologize. ”

And then, he leans in front of me and narrows the street.

“Before and after, I admit that whatever you did, there was an excessive amount of defensive action I took as a hunter against the anaesthetic. I'm sorry."

After one step, Kim's secretary, who was touching the ring in his hand with an unfaithful face, muttered.

“You said that getting kicked by a civilian like that would stop a whip from hitting our team leader. Witnesses say it was an impossible move without Mana. · · But Hunter still uses Mana against civilians? What if he dies? Was that intentional? ”

I don't think he's going to like it at the title, but Kim's secretary was shouting nonchalantly.

Park Chang-hee also did not hide her unpleasantness. I make an explicit face for the first time.

“I don't think Kim's secretary has a place to make fun of you. ”

I intervened.

“Let's stop, because I was excited to run first anyway. I apologize, too."

It is, of course, a 100% error of Seo Jin-wook, given the fact that he lost his fortune without reason.

However, I did not think about it because of new things I learned through my · · · assistant Kim.

You took a beating with Mana from an anaesthetic?

This is no different from a live firing response to a child running bare into his body.

“Still, I'm surprised you even wrote Mana. ”

“If you repeat the dungeon exploration and the extreme repetition of life, you will naturally get a sense of combat. Extremely refined reflexes. I reacted in a reflexive manner. There seems to be discipline at the guild level for that part. I'll take it.”

Kim's secretary muttered.

“The vice guild leader would've done it for you. ”

Vice guild leader?

I was curious, but I thought I should send Park Chang-hee quickly before the dung splattered to Kim's assistant.

“That's enough. Let's stop. Excuse us. Where to go right now · · ·. ”

Park Chang-hee looks strange because he is too different from Seo Jin-wook's attitude.

But I don't think it's just a feeling of surprise. I didn't miss it.

That's suspicious.

“I know. The guild leader wants to see you.”

He takes another step towards me.

What, are you sticking around?

“I apologize again. I wish you a speedy recovery. ”

Then he leans back and greets you. It was too polite.

I was about to wonder, looking down at his back.

Park Chang-hee raises his head. And once again, my eyes met.

By the way!

“ · · · · · ·! ”

I stared into his eyes as if frozen.

A dazzling blue wave swirled in Park Chang-hee's eyes.

I am familiar with this phenomenon.

Mana dances.

To illustrate the complex movements, there were butterflies flapping their wings with rays, numerous small collisions such as the surface of the rainy sea, and the image of light on the lid after glare.

All of them intertwine, unravel and dance.

At first glance, it looks like chaotic movement, but after perfectly memorizing the movement, a pattern appears.

That is Mana's movement when a skill is activated.

And · · ·.

[Successor's Eye] didn't even have to wait for an explanation.

I know what skills that pattern creates.

[Fluoroscopy (Rank: E, Active)]

The fume-like Mana emanating from Park Chang-hee's eyes slowly infiltrates into the air and expands towards me.

"There's a reason this son of a bitch keeps closing the streets! '

Kim, the secretary standing right behind him, naturally didn't notice anything, and if it had been Seo Jin-wook, he would have been humiliated.

But my eyes did not lie.

The head rolls at a fast rate.

"Why are you suddenly trying to stare at me? The target is the inside of the garment? Is he a pervert, or · · · goes further out into the skin? '

For whatever reason, I didn't want to wait for that foggy Mana to get inside the collar.

But how do we do that without tipping them off?

That's what I'm thinking about.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Oh, this?

I was slightly dizzy because of the concussion sequelae while walking, but I felt even worse when I looked at the dazzling Mana pattern in Park Chang-hee's eyes.

“Ugh!”

I moan openly.

I went to the bathroom a few times when the doctor came by, but it's still not over.

I decided not to stand for it because my insides were turned upside down.

The stomach fluctuates. The thick, dense esophagus rushes up.

I looked down at Team Leader Park Chang-hee. He is looking up at me as he approaches only one or two steps away from considering the skill range.

Both eyes meet diagonally.

I opened my mouth as I looked at my face, which reflected in his eyes. Park Chang-hee's face distorted because he sensed something.

“Uweeeeeeeeeeeek!”

Roughly, I poured everything on his face.

End
