Episode 309 – Academy (42)

Goddess Freya breathed her sigh of relief. It was heartbreaking to watch her ordeal, but it was finally over.

“Ha···.”

She was blank for a while, then lost in her thoughts. I thought back to Choi Si-woo fighting.

It was rewarding to watch her use up her spiritual power.

‘···It was amazing.’

In fact, he tried to help the blue orc when it turned into a tentacle monster. It would literally be a disaster if the ever-expanding mass of tentacles replicated all kinds of magical properties.

But the monster regained its senses on its own. I suppressed the energy of the outside world and grabbed my sword.

‘It’s really ridiculous…’

Anyway, it was a good thing. Because humanoids are much weaker than tentacle monsters. But it didn’t end there. Shocking things continued.

The blue orc crossed the wall using only his sword skills. It has become much more dangerous than a simple tentacle monster.

It hasn’t reached 9 stars.

If that were the case, even Choi Si-woo wouldn’t have been able to win. It’s definitely stronger than 8 stars, but it doesn’t reach 9 stars.

To put it numerically…

‘Around 8.5 stars would be appropriate.’

Anyway, I immediately tried to assist Choi Si-woo with my spiritual power. Because it is nearly impossible for an ordinary 8-star swordsman to defeat a being that has crossed the wall.

“But I won.”

Without her help. He cut down the enemy alone.

As if this is what a true hero is. He achieved victory on his own.

He pursed his lips as he remembered Choi Si-woo swinging his sword. After reflecting on that scene for a while, I opened my eyes.

‘Ha… What should I do now?’

Now that the ordeal is over, compensation should be given. But there was a problem. He bit his lower lip, conflicted.

‘Can I really trust you…?’

Choi Si-woo is an unknown being. He had no idea where on earth he had come into this world.

Worst case. He could have become the second largest foreign news agency. After thinking for a while, she shook her head. For some reason, I didn’t think that would happen.

‘And… What about Suho?’

I sighed without realizing it.

In fact, it was embarrassing to even compare Choi Si-woo and Kang Su-ho. Because Choi Si-woo finished the ordeal alone from start to finish.

‘Let’s think about it slowly again.’

His divine power is limited. I had to choose which of the two to focus on. I compared the two calmly, excluding personal feelings as much as possible.

‘···There is no need to mention powerlessness.’

In this part, Choi Si-woo wins by a landslide. He was so suitable as a warrior that it was difficult to compare him to Kang Soo-ho. The attitude toward battle was also the same.

I looked back on the moment we fought.

At first, Siwoo Choi was clearly stronger than the blue orc. But at some point. The powerlessness of the two was reversed. As we crossed the wall, the gap widened.

‘···But even so, he didn’t back down.’

Burning your fighting spirit against a stronger enemy that can kill you is not something that just anyone can do.

If the skills of the two are opposite. In other words, even if Choi Si-woo was weaker than Kang Soo-ho, their attitudes were so different that he would have worried.

The attitude towards battle itself was different.

‘The growth potential is…’

There was no need to compare. If Kang Soo-ho is a sprout with the potential to grow, Choi Si-woo is a giant tree that has already grown. It was proven simply that we were walking towards the 9th star.

Even if you think about it on a human level, it is a talent that can be counted on one hand.

There is only one thing left. Do you have the will to fight against destruction? Actually, I didn’t know that. A person’s true worth is revealed only when he or she is faced with a desperate situation.

The goddess who was thinking paused. Suddenly, the scene where Choi Si-woo was protecting Lydia came to mind.

‘······.’

She pursed her lips and nodded her head. At least it didn’t seem like he was going to abandon his woman. That was enough for now.

“Choi Si-woo.”

I decided. She decided to give him all her divine power. She pursed her lips and stroked her ring.

All of her available divine power was gathered in this small ring.

Ugh!

As she stretched out her hand, a swarm of golden light swirled around her. There was more than enough to cover her entire body.

‘It’s been a while since I had this much.’

A slight smile appeared. I was proud just to look at it. After her foreign press invaded. Her spiritual power was always lacking. But after a long time, I have some free time.

‘With this… I can create at least one legendary trait.’

As I thought about the things I could do with my spiritual powers, a wry smile suddenly appeared. The poor situation was a bit pitiful.

In fact, the divine power operated by the system is so great that it is difficult to compare it to this. Of course, you cannot use that divine power at will. If that happens, the Earth will be ruined by the energy of foreign media. Most of the divine power is used by the system to protect the Earth.

In short, it means that spiritual power is consumed to block the energy of foreign powers.

‘In other words, if you don’t block it, the divine power will remain.’

To summarize this ordeal, it was like this.

By letting go of some of the energy from foreign sources, we secured the spiritual power that would otherwise have been wasted. That was the essence of the ordeal.

Thanks to Choi Si-woo overcoming the ordeal on his own, he has a lot of strength left.

‘What should I give you?’

There are many things you can do with your spiritual power. You could give it legendary characteristics or bestow divine protection. In fact, if it was Kang Su-ho, there was no need to worry.

‘Since I’m a magic swordsman… It would have been perfect if I made another magic core.’

But Choi Si-woo didn’t know what to give. He needs to be watched often to know what he needs. But it wasn’t easy for him to observe.

The problem was that it consumed unusually large amounts of physical strength.

‘Wait for a sec. This is also a problem. ‘How will we watch from now on?’

To properly assist, you must watch it regularly. Only then can we provide appropriate help when needed.

‘How is it…’

After thinking for a while, she nodded her head. I thought of a suitable method.

“Let’s descend.”

I decided to go directly to the ground. Of course, descending without warning was impossible even if she used up all the divine power she had.

‘Let’s seal all the divine power… And do it in the form of possession. It is possible by borrowing the body of a saint.’

In addition, several restrictions were imposed. The amount of spiritual power that would be consumed was carefully calculated. Compared to looking down from heaven, not even 10% of it was consumed.

‘This is enough. ‘It’s worth it.’

Because of all the restrictions, she can barely use her powers as a goddess. It was possible to watch Choi Si-woo.

A smile suddenly formed on my lips. Without realizing it, I clenched my fist and shook it.

“He..”

I was glad to see a change in my boring heavenly life. I hummed with excitement as I felt like I was going out on an outing. Her bouncy walk stopped.

Recognizing her excitement made her feel a little embarrassed.

‘Oh, it’s something that can’t be helped. We need to conserve her spiritual power as much as possible. ‘It’s better to see it with your own eyes.’

In fact, it would be a lie to say that there is no selfishness at all. Because this is not the only way to observe Choi Si-woo. Still, it was a good method in terms of consuming her spiritual power.

Very occasionally. Although she felt a little sorry for the saintess who lent her body to her. Everything was for the greater good.

‘Hmm..’

Anyway, the worries are over. Now, I was thinking of investing my energy in Choi Si-woo instead of Kang Soo-ho.

“Uhm..”

Suddenly a feeling of bitterness came over me. Kang Su-ho, who had been taking care of me since I was young, kept getting on my mind. I wonder if this is what it feels like to make an adult child independent.

‘You’ll be okay without me…? ‘Because he’s a talented kid.’

After hesitating, she turned her gaze. To watch Kang Soo-ho, only a weak amount of physical strength was enough.

The moment when a mirror floating in the air reflected somewhere on the ground.

Goddess Freya paused. Her small mouth gradually opened.

Crack, clap, clap!

Kang Su-ho’s left hand was shaking like crazy.

-Ugh…! Lydia! Why on earth did you call him master? No? There’s no way a saint would do that! That’s not right!

Even though there was no one listening, I was rambling alone.

What on earth are you imagining? I stared into space with red eyes. She snorted and repeated the same thing.

-Did I hear wrong? Yes? How could Lydia treat Choi Si-woo… No! That can’t be possible. The saint says she hates frivolous men!

Crack, clap, clap!

The constantly moving left hand was a bonus.

“Ah.”

I came to my senses as if cold water had been poured on me. I suddenly realized what that dizzying feeling was. She quickly looked away and muttered.

‘I’m sorry, Suho.’

Seeing her ruined made her a little sad.

If Helena, her returnee, had taught Kang Soo-ho and had followed him through various experiences, she would have become quite a great warrior… But no matter how much she thought about it, it was impossible in this life.

She shook her head wildly.

“Ugh..”

If possible, she wanted to erase what she had just seen from her mind. Of course, it was impossible for her, being the goddess she is. I don’t know if it consumes her spiritual power.

She groaned and squeezed her eyes shut. She forced her thoughts back.

“Well, by the way…! “When on earth are these guys going to come out?”

She glared at the room in the temple.

After the ordeal was over and I returned to the city. This was the bedroom that Choi Si-woo and Lydia entered together.

As the lovers entered the bedroom, it was obvious what would happen. She had no doubts, especially looking at Lydia’s blushing face.

But it has already been more than 10 hours.

‘It’s too harsh. Does ten hours make sense?’

Since it was a private matter between lovers, I left it alone… But it took too long. No matter how much you think about it, this is not a normal situation.

I waited for about an hour more, but they still didn’t come out.

‘Could it be that you fell asleep?’

After much thought, I checked Lydia’s condition. She didn’t see for herself what she looked like, she just checked her mental state. At least so I can tell if he’s sleeping.

However···

‘What. ‘What’s wrong with her mental state?’

Goddess Freya’s face hardened.

Her saintly condition was strange. She didn’t feel the slightest bit of reason. Her mind was clouded, as if she had been severely tortured. It was no exaggeration to say that she was half fainted.

‘No way···.’

Siwoo Choi. I was worried that that mean guy was harassing Lydia. If so, he would have to reconsider all his decisions. She is the goddess of love. She couldn’t choose a man who treated women carelessly.

‘I can’t do this.’

She narrowed her eyes and gathered her divine power. In response to her rejection, he decided to descend on her saintly body.

If nothing goes wrong, he will come out after observing Choi Si-woo.

But if not…

Her eyes cooled and she was enveloped in her light.

Flashing.

A fleeting moment has passed.

Goddess Freya lifted her heavy eyelids. She opened her eyes, but her vision was blurry.

“Yes..”

It was difficult for her to speak because her voice was hoarse. Perhaps because it had been a long time since she reappeared, she had a hard time adjusting.

My whole body felt as heavy as wet cotton. There wasn’t much power either. It was soaked with sweat and even sticky.

Quickly! Clap!

She felt soft cotton on her wrist. For some reason her limbs couldn’t move. She tried to figure out the situation somehow.

‘My head is too heavy…’

Every time I took a breath, the heat warmed my body. It was hard to think because her mind was buzzing.

Sigh.

I flinch when something soft touches my back! Surprised. She realized it too late. It was just a blanket covering the bed.

“Tsk..!”

But the sensation was a bit strange. It had become so sensitive that it burned just by brushing against a soft cloth.

I frowned. Clearly, the saint’s body was not normal.
