Chapter 64 – Summer Vacation at the Academy (1)

The return of possession.

I went to the safe house, ate dinner prepared by Terry Crow, and then came back.

Could it be said that I feel a little more relaxed than when I was possessed as Lee Sian?

There was quite a difference in the number of quests cleared.

A total of 7 quests were cleared with Lee Sian’s body and 4 quests with Sian Raven.

However, this does not mean that Cian Raven is weaker than Isian.

Level and combat power were clearly low, but both had relative value depending on the class.

If level 1 and 2 belong to the weak, level 3 and 4 can be said to be strong in that class, and level 5 can aim for transcendence.

It can be said that the level 4 that Lee Sian has reached in his hierarchy is truly an unrivaled position.

So, I was a little concerned that Cian Raven, who was stronger than Isian, was level 3.

I wondered how many more monstrous beings were hidden in that class.

And I had to check something more important.

Time, I had to be possessed and check how much time had passed and whether the time of that class had passed.

Just like the seven days I spent in Yi Xian’s hierarchy, it felt like very little time had passed in this world.

‘And time also stopped for the Cyan Raven hierarchy.’

While checking it, I confirmed the suitability of Cyan Raven’s possession.

It dropped from 95% to 60%, but wouldn’t this be quite high?

As a bonus, I also checked Isian, but it did not reach 58% or 60%.

If this continues, I might be possessed by Cyan Raven once more.

*

As I was clearing my mind after freeing myself from possession, I received a call from Seo-yeon.

“Sian, what are you doing?”

“I lay down for a moment.”

“It must be difficult because you sparred with Naen like that. Are you in any pain?”

“Yes. There is a shield, and you healed me, right?”

Immediately after sparring with Naen, she reached 250 combat power, and so she became possessed.

I’ve never been possessed for a long period of time before, but I felt like if I was possessed for a long time, my sense of time would definitely go awry.

In Lee Sian’s world, where restrictions on modern firearms will be lifted in 30 days, it feels like the date is clearly visible.

Compared to that class, the future of Cian Raven’s world is uncertain, as you never know when the Demon King will appear and warriors will be needed.

I’ll probably have to wait a lot longer to receive the proper quests needed for growth.

“Really? I’m glad. Are you free tomorrow? Well… We’re reunited…”

Because of the sin she had committed, she could not speak out, but she had a general idea of ​​what she wanted to do.

“There is no reservation for the dungeon, and it is empty. Should we go on a date?”

“Yes. I want to do it! Then, shall we meet at the academy entrance tomorrow morning?”

“Okay. Let’s do it.”

After finishing the call with Seoyeon, I checked the status window.

Why is this happening again?

【Skill: Shadow Mastery (E+2)】

【The shadow leaves no trace.】

【2. Shadow Armor: Protects the body by condensing shadows.】

〈Some abilities cannot be used due to insufficient conditions〉

【One. Shadow Craft: Materializes shadows.】

Could it be possible to prevent it from being used by changing the order?

I knew that Shadow Craft would be the last thing I did if I learned Shadow Mastery in the right order, but I didn’t know it would be so bad.

Shadow Armor still works.

When I tried it out, I could feel the shadow moving inside the clothes.

For Shadow Craft, you can use equipment of this tier.

Both the sword and the gun had good performance.

But can I make a gun with Shadow Craft?

Although the structure itself is very different, I thought that if I made something similar, the combat power could increase considerably.

What. It’s meaningless because I can’t do shadow craft right now.

*

‘Have we caught up with the physical ability itself?’

I thought about the feeling of separation between the two possessed bodies through the exercise I do every day in the fitness room.

Because of the power of the status window, there were parts where the body grew evenly, so I just felt that it was a little lacking.

If I grow a little more like this, I think I will soon be able to use survival rule number 4, presence detection. Wouldn’t my fitness level increase significantly then?

As I was leaving the fitness room after warming up, I ran into Rudric the Vulcan, who was coming in.

I’m going to make love like this.

If I continued talking, I might say something provocative like last time, so I tried to just pass by, but Vulcan Ludric kept watching me.

“Yusian.”

“Why? Vulcan.”

“Did your mana have color?”

“Color?”

Suddenly Vulcan threw his fist at me. Am I going crazy because I exercise every day?

I used insight to understand the trajectory of the fist and then dodged it with certainty.

Previously, my body wouldn’t have been able to react, but now I was able to avoid punches that weren’t with all my might.

“You don’t want to show it? You can’t hide it for that long? Can you just play it cool?”

“What are you talking about?”

Even though I answered so bluntly, there was a bit of an inkling.

Did my mana have color because I learned Shadow Mastery?

That guy looks at me and understands what he sees?

I targeted it, but the gap was too large.

The color of mana.

This was information that Vulcan Ludric gave me roughly, but it was a very helpful hint for me, who grew up without a proper teacher.

*

When I went to the main gate of the Global Academy at the appointed time, Seoyeon came out first and was waiting.

Her long light blue hair was blowing in the gentle breeze, and she was wearing a sleeveless dress that looked cool considering the summer weather.

Since they started dating when they were in high school and saw each other often during vacation, it can be said that this is a familiar outfit.

Seoyeon, who was waiting while looking at the floor, slightly raised her head and seemed to have found me.

She let go of her purse and gently waved her hand at me, so she walked quickly and walked to Seoyeon’s side.

“You came out a little early?”

“Yeah. I can’t be late, right?”

When we lived together, we prepared together and went out together, so I didn’t think much of it.

“Me too. Where should we go? We’ve been around this area once, so I remember it.”

“I won’t even think about it. Would you like to just walk around together?”

“Okay then. It’s been a while since I’ve been outside the academy.”

Of course, going to a dungeon is not treated.

It means it’s been a while since I’ve been wandering around Utopia.

“That goes for me too.”

I think Seoyeon never left Global Academy after her relationship with me became estranged.

When I extended my left hand, Seoyeon reached out her right hand and held my hand.

“Huh…? It’s a little chilly?”

“After completing the quest, the nature of mana changed a little.”

The Yin attribute mana that I changed to better handle Shadow Mastery had a slightly cold nature.

I had never thought about adding properties to mana.

When I possessed Cyan Raven’s body, I kept using it with the feeling that I was just activating skills, but what about Cyan Raven, who had no skills?

So, after digging through my memories, I found out that mana attribute conversion is the basis of Shadow Mastery.

And she practiced it before going to bed, so the mana that filled her body felt a little cool.

“Really? Growth is starting to gain momentum? That’s good!”

She took a short walk with Seoyeon, who was happy with her work, and headed to the movie theater near Global Academy.

She stopped by a few times before enrolling, but there are still too many movies in Utopia.

Since all the movies from all over the world were brought in, movies from all over the world were gathered in the movie theater.

“What should I watch? There’s a lot of new stuff.”

As I slowly looked through the list of movies, a zombie movie caught my eye.

Contagious zombies can actually be created, but movies like that are made to watch the protagonist overcome the situation after failing to prepare for it.

And usually in such movies, the main character does not have any abilities.

Wouldn’t it be helpful when possessing Lee Sian? Because I saw that video, I robbed a convenience store first.

‘But isn’t the Lord of Plague also a member of our class?’

With the help of the principal, I was able to see the underworld and used the skill I had, Possession, but what if I could spread the plague beyond the hierarchy?

“Are you going to see that?”

Seoyeon asked me as I paused in the zombie movie.

Seo-yeon didn’t like movies with blood and flesh flying around, so she usually watched them alone.

“I want to see this, can you see it?”

“Uh… Yes. Let’s meet together. This is someone you might meet in real life later. You need to build up your tolerance.”

She has made it clear that she doesn’t like it, but she can’t just continue to provide healing support at the Global Academy.

As I grow through quests, if you want to follow me, you will have to go to the battlefield.

“But you know it’s a movie, right? In reality, it’s worse than it looks. It’s similar to a human, but it’s definitely different because the dead thing moves.”

“Huh? Have you seen it?”

“Yes. I’ve seen it before. Have you even dealt with it?”

Seoyeon looked like she wasn’t sure when she heard what I said, but I wish she could talk openly about my abilities someday.

The movie quickly passed the initial zombie creation process and began to focus on the family that survived the zombie world.

The father and mother struggled against zombies to protect their son and daughter, but in the end, the son and daughter survived thanks to their sacrifice.

Every time Seoyeon fights zombies, she trembles and clings to me, and I wrap my arms around her shoulders.

And I sobbed when the sacrifice of my parents came up.

‘There is no conflict between forces, so it is not particularly helpful.’

Because it was a movie focused on family, the scenes I wanted did not appear.

The movie was set in a world where even electricity and communication were rapidly disappearing, so we relied on radio to move around, which gave us some food for thought.

“Well, my parents’ sacrifice was so pitiful.”

“I think so too. Was the violent part okay?”

“It was a little hard to see…”

Even after coming to the Global Academy, Seoyeon still reacted too sensitively to violent scenes.

I think I need to increase my tolerance, so it will be more comfortable when we hang out together in the future.

‘But did I originally watch the movie this coldly? Although not as much as Seoyeon, I think I was quite immersed in it.’
