Chapter 131 – End of Summer Vacation (2)

Even though dinner was full of grass, it was really delicious.

I was able to eat it really deliciously because the freshness and crunchy texture of the vegetables was something I missed while possessing it for a few days.

After finishing the meal first, while I was waiting for Seoyeon to eat, the drinks that could be taken free of charge caught my eye.

Now that I think about it, you barely even drank a drink in that world?

“Seo-yeon, should I bring something to drink?”

“Hmm. I want to drink coffee.”

“Okay. I’m eating slowly.”

I got up, made a cup of coffee for Seoyeon, got a cup of soda, drank it right then and there, filled up another cup, and brought it over.

I told her to eat slowly, but in the meantime, Seoyeon finished eating and took a sip of the coffee I brought.

I also took a sip of my soda and then started talking about Royna Naen.

“Seo-yeon, do you think Roy or I would like to make a wish today or tomorrow?”

“Why Naen? Do you have business?”

Seoyeon asked me, blinking her eyes slowly.

“I wanted to test out my new skills that I recently acquired. There’s no one in particular I can ask to spar with, right? I’ve sparred with Naen once before.”

“I did, right? Naen wasn’t in the dorm today. I guess I’ll have to ask what tomorrow will be like, so I’ll contact you now.”

Seoyeon took out her smartphone, sent her message, and then waited for Ina Naen’s reply.

“It would be nice if I could deal with it, but it’s a little disappointing.”

Seoyeon is a lineman? If she had only had that option, it would have been very difficult for Seo-yeon to adapt to Utopia.

Counselor Lee Da-young recognized that well, so Seo-yeon chose the path of becoming a healer.

Fortunately, she seems to be a good fit for herself. Sparring with Seo-yeon?

“Ah. How can I hit you?”

That’s the problem.

She doesn’t have the confidence to truly use her skills towards Seo-yeon.

“Don’t say things like that where I can hear.”

Seoyeon smiled slightly as if she liked my answer and finished drinking her coffee.

Loina Naen’s reply was later than she expected, so rather than spending time at the restaurant, she decided to go outside and take a leisurely walk to wait for her reply.

“Summer vacation is almost over.”

The peak of the heat was over, and the weather was slowly getting colder.

“That’s right. It’s a shame I couldn’t spend half of the summer vacation with you.”

When she said those words, Seoyeon, who was holding my hand, squeezed her hand tightly.

Perhaps because she knew that she was the reason we couldn’t be together, Seoyeon’s smile immediately became awkward.

“Uh. Ugh… I could have spent longer.”

“Seo-yeon, am I okay now?”

With my hand and the other hand that Seoyeon was holding, I placed my hands on both of Seoyeon’s cheeks and pulled them slightly.

Now that I think about it, I also had to check for mental attacks, right?

I needed to learn more about the fascination that Mai Hoshino wrote about.

Because of that, I stayed a little longer in Jungwon, and it was a little late to meet today.

I was working hard to improve Yu Xian’s strength while possessing him, but I felt like I had a lot of work to do.

While I was organizing what I had to do while pulling Seoyeon’s soft cheek, Seoyeon’s smartphone rang.

Seoyeon checked the watch on her wrist and saw that the person calling was Royna Naen, and she answered the call right away.

“Yes. I am. There is Xian next to me, so I will switch to speakerphone.”

“Lee Sian? What made you want to spar with me?”

“I’ve recently acquired some decent skills, and I’d like to spar with you as a test. As you know, I don’t have the connections I built in the first semester, right?”

“Good skills? I’m interested, but I’m a little busy until the vacation ends. I told Seoyeon that I was busy, but she didn’t seem to remember. What about Uppers seniors? Shall I give you senior Lake Xilan’s contact information?”

When Seoyeon heard those words, she nodded her head quickly.

Have you stopped listening to other people since you got burned by Mai Hoshino?

Such questions arose, but first I had to respond to Royna Naen’s favor.

“No. I don’t think I’ll definitely join the club, so I’d rather get some help from senior Lake Xilan. I understand. Thank you for your answer.”

“Okay, okay. I’ll hang up.”

That’s how Roy and Naen’s call ended.

“Ah. It was supposed to be empty starting today. I guess I heard wrong.”

“That could be true. Then, should I just practice using it in the air? I don’t know how many times I can use it yet, so there are things I can do on my own.”

“Really? Can I watch you use that skill?”

“I don’t mind seeing you, Seoyeon. Shall we go now?”

After taking a walk around the lake with Seoyeon, we entered the empty sparring room.

In the past, I would have brought a sword with me, but it’s great that I don’t need to do that now.

However, instead of making her weapon right away, she clenched her fist.

The first thing I will show Seo-yeon is Yeomryun-kwon Ilryun.

A technique that strengthens the attack by passing the fist through a ring of flame that appears in the air and receiving the heat scattered around it.

“Fire? Xian, since when were you able to use fire?”

“It became possible a while ago.”

“Wow… Amazing!”

After using Ilryun, I used Shadow Craft to create a spear made of shadows.

And this time, I made only a salt ring and passed it through the window.

A spear of shadow filled with heat pierced the air.

I practiced just this skill and went down to Isian’s world, but I was unable to use Shadow Craft due to lack of mana, so I was never able to use it.

And the last thing to use is shadow circle.

Skill Link-Boost

Shadow Mastery. Yeomryun.

Shadow Circle.

A ring of three shadows appeared in the air, and a spear was thrown at it.

The spear of shadow became stronger and faster each time it passed through the ring, and began to struggle to pierce the wall of the sparring room.

Go go go go!

As the defensive magic hanging in the sparring room worked hard to block, the window created with Shadow Craft expired and disappeared without being able to destroy the wall.

Now that I’ve confirmed that it’s powerful, it’s important to know how many times I can use it, but I didn’t feel as much pressure as I thought.

It was impossible to use it three times with Lee Xian’s body, but I think he can use it five times?

Once again, I used Shadow Craft to create a window of shadow and used Shadow Circle to create a ring of shadow.

Go go go go!

The same thing happened again when I threw the spear with all my might toward the ring.

‘Couldn’t we also contain the heat here?’

As I thought of all the things I couldn’t do with Lee Sian’s body, I thought I’d like to try mixing in another ability this time, the chlorine field.

“Sian. Are you trying to throw that at Naen…?”

When I created the window of shadow once again, I heard Seoyeon’s trembling voice.

When she turned her head and looked at Seoyeon, she seemed quite surprised by the power of the shadow spear I had thrown.

“Uh, yeah. Maybe it was a little excessive?”

“I thought I might be trusting Naen too much. Until now, I’ve never seen many first-year students using such powerful skills.”

Since the bone zombies were somehow blocked, I thought Naen, who was at the top, would be able to stop them, but from Seoyeon’s perspective, it seemed dangerous.

If you think about it, the thing I used to throw at the bone zombie was an iron spear, so the process of adding shadow and shaping was added, so it would have been less powerful than what I’m using now.

So is this a skill that is difficult for even me to block? Is it good?

“What you just used was a Shadow Spear? Is that something like that?”

“Hmm. Just throwing a spear made of shadows. Magic… I see. This was magic.”

If creating a spear made of shadows out of thin air and throwing it with incredible speed and power isn’t magic, what is it?

I felt like my thoughts on separating her skills into technology and magic suddenly fell apart.

Enlightenment comes even from really insignificant things.

Until now, I had the strange thought that Cyan Raven couldn’t use shadow magic, but instead, she was using the ultimate form of shadow magic.

If the ultimate in shadow magic is to condense shadows in places where there are no shadows and give them physical power, then there is only one thing that Cian Raven lacks. He had nothing but power.

And the moment its power was met, it became magic.

“Okay, then let’s throw it a few more times!”

By creating a shadow circle like that, I was able to create and throw four more shadow spears.

In total, you can throw it six times, and if you squeeze out all the mana, you can throw it once more, but stopping at this level did not put a strain on your body.

When I came out of the sparring room after squeezing out mana in a good mood, Seoyeon used auxiliary magic on me.

“What is this doing?”

“It’s a magic that helps the natural recovery of mana.”

“Oh. I definitely think so.”

Although it is not a skill that suddenly replenishes mana, her mana recovery speed has increased considerably.

If it was empty like this now, it would have taken quite a while, but now it’s about half that?

Now that it’s dark outside, I was able to recover some mana by using a mixture of Shadow Mastery and Flame Magic.

‘Maybe I really got stronger after getting the skill link?’

I was learning the basics and the basics and the basics, but the moment I was able to apply them, I felt that the number of skills had definitely increased.

If I grow a little more, wouldn’t I be able to fight on equal footing with the students in Class Q? I don’t think I’ll ever have to lose without being able to use my hands or feet like the sparring exam in the final exam.

“Now are you going to go to the dungeon and test it out? Shall I go with you?”

“I can now easily run through intermediate dungeons alone, but I think advanced dungeons are still impossible. My network of contacts is too limited to form a party to go to advanced dungeons, right?”

“Because I don’t have any. Wouldn’t Dayoung tell me a good way?”

“Anyway, I have to meet counselor Lee Da-young to register for the dungeon. Okay, I’ll ask tomorrow.”

“Then, shall we meet tomorrow?”

“What about pre-study for the second semester?”

“Being with you is more important… I wasted half of my summer vacation, right?”

Seoyeon’s soul seemed to be draining when she said that, but she seemed to have overcome it enough to say it out of her own mouth.

I grabbed Seoyeon’s cheek with both hands once again.

She held her cheek and then created heat and transferred it through her hands, and Seo-yeon’s face, which seemed to be slightly painful at first, relaxed.

Now that the amount of heat she can create has increased, wouldn’t Seoyeon be able to do whatever I want?

And then a thought occurred to me.

“Seo-yeon. Have you ever taken birth control pills?”

“I don’t have one…?”

I know that she has never taken birth control pills since Seo-yeon’s first experience, and she has used a condom every time she has had sex since.

“I want to try it raw this weekend, but can I take some medicine beforehand?”

“Hmm. I won’t be able to take the medicine because I don’t have enough time. As far as I know, I have to take it a month in advance.”

“Then it will be difficult to keep track of time.”

“But there is another way. This weekend, right? I will prepare.”

Seoyeon, who had agreed to grant my unreasonable request, suddenly felt embarrassed, and her face turned bright red.

“Another way? Okay, I understand.”

She pulled Seo-yeon, who decided to do a difficult favor, into her arms, hugged her for a moment, and then left the sparring room.

Today is Tuesday, so there are three days left: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

I need to test birth control using Shadow Armor on Seo-yeon.
