21 – Turns out I was a talent freak

*

“They really do too much…”

CNU arrived 30 minutes after we sat down and started eating. He’s not the party, he’s just a close friend, but when you see it took 30 minutes, you realize I was right.

‘If I had stayed, I would have had to wait at least three times longer.’

Of course, I’m sorry to say that to CNU, so I brought up another story.

“Are you here?”

“Come… Uh…? Is that what you’re talking about? You abandoned me even after seeing that I was left alone!”

A while ago. I guess it wasn’t an illusion that our eyes met.

“Hey. Instead, I’ll teach you a hero-level step, so let’s do it.”

I feel sorry for being left without a mobile device, so I’m going to teach you one of the steps I’ve seen in other worlds that perform well and are easy to learn.

Most of the footwork also includes some fast-moving law, the new law.

Of course, it will be inferior compared to the professional new law, such as the Eight Eclipses of the Cloud Dragon, but just learning what I teach is enough to escape from the same situation as before.

“Really? Heroic footsteps?”

CNU makes a surprised expression. Even if it’s a hero level, it’s a grade that corresponds to the top 10%, so it’s worth showing that kind of reaction. The unique level goes down to 1%, and the legendary level goes down to 0.01%.

Even in very powerful guilds, I know that newcomers are provided with advanced or lower skills, and middle-level or higher-level skills are provided to those who have accumulated some achievements.

Actually, I know a few steps that are more than the only one, but teaching them is very difficult, and considering Shinwoo’s talent, I will have to teach him continuously for more than a week.

So I thought it would be best to use a hero-level footwork that has good performance and can be completed in about a day.

“Have you ever lied to me about giving me something?”

“No… I’ll take care of it this time.”

It was CNU who made equipment related to concealment when hunting by entering the gate secretly from the government last year.

I thought I’d have to repay you someday, but after being caught as a reincarnated person, I think it’s fine if I teach you some skills.

Since CNU came, we ordered more new foods that he likes and started talking about my pre-reincarnation days. Of course, the surroundings were blocked with a membrane to prevent the story from leaking out.

“I lived for 30 years, and at the end of the day, I realized the ability of 5 lives.”

Originally, this kind of talk should be done while drinking, but it’s a bit disappointing.

Students entering the academy are treated as semi-adults, so if they were accompanied by their student ID, they could have been ordered to drink.

Still, we were intoxicated with the atmosphere because of the delicious food, the joy that everyone passed, the good people gathered, and the delicious seasoning of the story of my past.

“At first, it was a world called Moorim. A world where most people learn martial arts and people fight endlessly. Ha-yeon was the strongest there.”

Since Ha Yeon Lee was the only master who reached the current level in Murim, Jungwon would have been in her hands if she had united her Demonic Cult and attacked her earlier.

“Yuwon. You were a slave.”

Maybe it’s because Ha-yeon knows about it, so she throws out a word in between.

“That’s right… It was really hard like crazy. Didn’t you know that the day would come when I would be carrying people’s poop with my hands? I thought I couldn’t live like this, so I went to hit Ha-yeon right in the head.”

Either die or learn martial arts. It was a moment of gacha of a lifetime, believing only in my words.

“I heard someone shouting from a distance beyond the walls of the palace at dawn, so far away that even the guards couldn’t hear. I was the only one who could hear the voice from that distance, so I went out to that spot, hoping that someone would call me.”

If you think about it now, it’s a really ridiculous plan. To go and argue with a being who can be killed with just one finger, that being a slave is such a shame to live in the Demonic Cult.

“If Ha-yeon had killed me then, I wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

Wouldn’t you have just moved on to the next world, learned the proper Aura technique in the fantasy world, and trained hard to reach the level of an S-class hunter in your next life?

Perhaps that was my limit.

“There is no way I could have killed the irresistible grasshopper. If you hadn’t persuaded me, I would have told you enough and sent you back, but not killed you.”

Maybe it’s because he’s seen dozens of decapitations of Demonic Cults and sects that were close to him, but it’s a bit less persuasive, but he’s definitely never seen anyone who’s offended them.

“Anyway, the fact that I, who lack talent, was able to reach Hyungyeong…”

“What?”

“What?”

“What?”

All three wives asked me back with surprised faces. I’m not sure what point I was surprised by. Are you surprised that you have reached the present?

“Yuwon. I can’t believe… I still remember the words I said as a child…”

From noble mtl dot com

“When I was young..? Ah! What I was trying to say now? You said that I have very little talent, and that I had to train to the point of death so that I wouldn’t catch up with others. After hearing that, there was not a day that I missed training.”

Thinking about it now, it’s all memories. The day when I entered the Magic Hall as the top of the class, the kind friends and instructors, and the days when I pushed myself to the limit every day.

It was one of the most rewarding moments of my life.

“Yuwon… Actually…”

“Huh..?”

“Your talent is one of the best in the world.”

‘?’

I think I heard something nonsense.

“It took me 10 days to learn the Heavenly Demon, who was born with a natural talent for learning magic arts, but it took only 15 days to learn the more difficult martial art, the Mukroe, Bukryeok New Art. How could you not be talented?”

“Really…? You’re not doing a hidden camera right now, are you?”

The words I believed in for 130 years turned out to be a lie? I’m not a martial artist, but in fact, I became stronger with talent?

“Of course you tried to die, and I did sparring myself, but the reason I was able to reach Hwagyeong at the age of 16 wasn’t because martial arts were special. It was because you were special.”

The moment the truth of my powerlessness was revealed, I became depressed.

‘I thought I was a hard-working genius…’

I thought I had jumped over a wall that I couldn’t overcome with effort and talent. As it turned out, I was able to overcome the barriers that I could normally overcome quickly by adding effort and skill.

“Brother… Are you an idiot…? It doesn’t make sense that someone with no talent can be so strong.”

Estelle’s sting stabs my heart.

“Honey is an idiot.”

Liera’s small whisper pierced the place where it had been stabbed one more time. Her heart hurt… So much.

“Anyway, it’s amazing that you’ve ever reached the prefecture. If you were reincarnated, that force wouldn’t have been maintained… So you’re saying you’ve reached the prefecture within 30 years?”

“Yes.”

A 30-year prefectural police speedrun with the characteristics of mental retardation. The realization accumulated while fighting the demon king burst out in the next life, and I was able to rise to the Hyungyeong.

“Won Yu.”

CNU, who was enjoying the food, talks to me.

“Why?”

“What is Hyungyeong..?”

If you’re not really interested in martial arts, you might not know. He came up with an easy way to explain it to him.

“You can think of it as being on the same level as a grandmaster or mage by the standard of a Murim.”

The stage after Master and Archmage. It is often said that they have formed their own territory, and the earth standard level 300 was the boundary.

“Uh… That means you’re over level 300?! Are you on the same level as the person who ranked #1?”

Shinwoo’s mouth opens wide.

Unlike Moorim people or people in the fantasy world, Awakeners have a status window, so they grow very quickly.

Isn’t there a Jin Baek-ryong who rose to the S rank at the age of 17 right away? I also once reached the age of 16 through intensive sparring with Ha-yeon.

However, the realm is different. No matter how much the Awakeners receive assistance from the system, they can’t even get help to form a realm.

Only those with truly pure talent can pass level 300. There is only one person on Earth who is officially known to have reached level 300, and that person is number one.

S-class above S-class. The man commonly referred to as the SS class.

[First]

He is one of the first generation hunters called the first hunter, and he is still alive.

It’s only natural that lifespan increases by a hundred years once you reach the prefecture. Because of my characteristics, I was only 30 years old and had a short lifespan, and Ha-yeon also went through a half-role, so she will live a very long time.

“I was level 341 when I died, so maybe you can count more?”

Since he’s such a mysterious man, I don’t know what else he’s hiding, but he thinks that if he’s in his prime, he’s worth fighting for.

“You’re such a ridiculous guy… Kim Yoo-won. This hyung is proud of you.”

That’s how I told the story with Hayeon, and after that story was over, I told the story with Estelle and Riera to everyone.

I think it’s time for everyone to listen to each other’s stories and understand each other a little bit. CNU seemed to be weaving after hearing the story of the three people.

“It’s so pitiful… Kim Yoo-won, you bastard…”

Certainly, since I’m the bad guy, I have nothing to say. It feels like the hostility has disappeared from the eyes of other people looking at each other.

I definitely needed time to listen to everyone’s stories and organize them.

I hope that every day in the future will be as peaceful and cozy as this moment.
