Chapter 46 – The Perfect Weekend

#

Next day.
As soon as I woke up, my first thought was who to practice with.
Until I met Park Eun-ha yesterday, I had only one option.
Shin Hye-yeon.

However, after training with Park Eun-ha, my thoughts changed.
Because her training with her was very dense and she helped a lot.

Both of them had a 100% affinity, so the training effect was applied 4 times, and at the same time, I was able to receive a buff to my skill, ‘Steel Stamina’.

There is no difference so far, but Park Eun-ha had a skill that I did not have.
‘Behavioral Prediction’.

As expected, I couldn’t acquire that skill with just one training session yesterday.
The reason seemed to be that it was a skill that I had never had in my previous life.

The ‘sword skill’ obtained from Shin Hye-yeon was a skill she had in her previous life.
So there was no need to learn anything new.
The feeling of having found again what had been lost through regression.

‘It’s sure to be effective.’

The reason why I was greedy for Park Eun-ha’s skill was because of the ‘free skill slot’ she had previously obtained.
I could more easily learn the skills of opponents with a favorable rating of over 80%.

Even if it didn’t work just yesterday, if I continue to train with her in the future, I might be able to get it.

With that thought in mind, I wanted to train with Park Eun-ha.

However, my concerns were easily resolved.
Because of Shin Hye-yeon’s message.

– I don’t think I can meet you because I have tutoring in the morning. How about meeting in the afternoon?

Tutoring?
I asked her while taking her guess at her glance.

– What tutoring?
– Please have a teacher come and teach you skills on weekend mornings.

It was not uncommon to receive private lessons from other hunters.
Usually, even the best hunters receive lessons like that to make up for their shortcomings.
Because the map provided by the guild is definitely not enough.

Although there is a lot of demand, since it is a lesson from a hunter, the cost is considerable.

‘It’s a tutoring given by a college student…’

I didn’t know that Shin Hye-yeon was even taking her private lessons.
No matter how inexperienced college students were, it was clear that the cost would be high as it was calling a hunter.

‘This is proof that you’re a rich family’s daughter.’

No matter how naive he is, he has given Seulgi 50 million won before.
And she was going to provide the rest of the 50 million won she asked for.

This was not something that could be done simply by the mind.

– I understand. See you in the afternoon

But there was no need to feel uncomfortable about this.
I don’t know who is teaching Shin Hye-yeon, but Navona must have little experience.
Besides, didn’t I decide to go to Gaon Academy from Monday?
As a scholarship student.
I don’t know how long I could last there, but it was definitely better conditions than taking private lessons.

In order to bridge this gap, it was good for Shin Hye-yeon to receive tutoring.

‘The solution went well.’

I no longer have to worry about unnecessarily wrapping my hair.
In fact, I wanted to train with Park Eun-ha more than Shin Hye-yeon.
She didn’t have to think about what excuse she could give to Shin Hye-yeon or feel guilty about it.

All she had to do was ask Park Eun-ha if she was available in the morning.

I called her on her phone.

After a long signal, a husky voice was heard.

– Hello…

It was a dying voice.

“I’m Sunggyu. Was she sleeping by any chance?”
– Ah! Seong-gyu. Sorry sorry. I just woke up.

I forgot that Park Eun-ha is an underground guild hunter.
Of course, not all underground guild members were active at night, but the time they worked with hunters in the sun would be different.

“I’m sorry I called you while you were sleeping. Shall we call again later when we are tired?”

She thought she couldn’t force a sleep-deprived person to practice her practice.
Rather, it would have been better for me to train alone.
It’s a pity, but she thought it could not be helped, and when she said it, Park Eun-ha raised her voice.

– No! I woke up! You don’t have to call me next time! Do you know when to do it?
“If it was okay, I would have practiced with you in the morning. But I don’t think you should be tired.”
– Tired? What are you talking about? Thanks to the potion you gave me, I slept soundly. It’s so sweet!
“Okay…?”

It wasn’t a very nice voice, but since she said it herself, I had to accept it.

We set a time and decided to meet in the training room where we practiced yesterday.

“Now, this.”

I gave the recovery potion to Park Eun-ha, who was out of breath from exhaustion.

“Thank you.”
“Don’t eat now…”

Gulp.

I wanted to tell her not to drink the potion right away but to drink it later, but Park Eun-ha had already swallowed it.
Because the recovery potion causes a huge hunger and a desire to sleep at the same time as taking it.

“Ah, the tiredness melts away! Hungry! Let’s go eat!”
“Do you have any plans for this afternoon?”
“Yeah, I have work in the evening, but it’s not a big deal. You can sleep until then.”
“Then what?”

When I said I was going to go home and sleep, I thought it wouldn’t matter.
I also drank the recovery potion.
I had lunch with Park Eun-ha and decided to meet Shin Hye-yeon for training in the afternoon.

Until then, I decided to sleep at least a few hours.

Today’s training with Park Eun-ha was as dense as yesterday’s.
If there is one thing that has improved, it is not the first time that this kind of sparring has occurred.
I was able to train in a way that saved my physical strength a little because I had an experience yesterday.

“But when I train with you, I feel like my tension rises more than usual. Normally, I couldn’t even raise my arms because I was so tired after doing half of this.”

Park Eun-ha pointed out the correct part.
Of course, I felt it while training before drinking the potion, so it wasn’t the effect I got thanks to the potion.

“I have that skill.”

I thought about it for a bit, then said it honestly.
Whatever it was, there was no need to deceive Park Eun-ha, who had a 100% crush on me.
Of course, except for the fact that I have regressed, and the purpose and system of this life.

“Such a skill?”
“It’s the ability to recover the physical strength of the person you’re with.”

The name of the skill, ‘Steel Stamina’ itself, is a concept that does not exist in the world, so I talked about it roughly.

“Buff? Do you have that ability too? But if it was a skill, you would consume mana?”

Healers are a popular class that almost every party has at least one.
Park Eun-ha seemed to understand my ability that way.

Of course, there is no case where a melee dealer like me uses ‘Heal’ at the same time.
That’s why I’m making a more incomprehensible face.

“It’s a bit different from a normal buff. It’s just that ability.”
“Mmm.”

Park Eun-ha still had a puzzled face, but she didn’t ask any more.

“Do you want to train together tomorrow?”

At my words, she smiled brightly.

“Huh!”

In the afternoon, I practiced with Shin Hye-yeon the way I always did with her.
If you suddenly asked me to engage in sparring, I wouldn’t be able to adapt.
From my point of view, if I practiced in the same way in the morning and afternoon, it was impossible because I was too exhausted.

But from now on, I thought I would encourage her to practice her sparring method.
Because I knew the effect was completely different.
Since you can use the same sword, the synergy of training seems to be better.

I spent a longer time with Shin Hye-yeon.
After dinner, we watched a movie together at my house.
I couldn’t see it properly in the end because both of them dozed off in the middle.

We had the same day on Sunday.

If there is one thing different…

【Acquired the skill ‘Behavior Prediction’.】
【Free skill slots have been consumed.】

‘To really get it…’

This has been proven.
That the force of the system is stronger in spite of all other conditions.

Under normal circumstances, I would not have been able to acquire the ‘behavior prediction’ skill for any reason.

This incident that happened in the middle of my training made me realize that what I saw afterwards was completely different.

“What are you? Why are you so good all of a sudden?”

Park Eun-ha was taken aback.
Because I, like myself, started predicting my next move.
It wasn’t because her movements were familiar to her because it was only her third practice together.
Park Eun-ha was a woman who could improvise as much as she could within the scope of her abilities.

The little hints she gave me in her subconscious began to come easily to my eyes.
Now I had a pretty good chance of predicting which direction her fist would come from, and which way she would dodge the blow this time.

‘Although not as much as Park Eun-ha herself.’

Even though her skill level is the same, Park Eun-ha has a special ability ‘pattern analysis’.
Her ‘action prediction’ was a derivative skill of ‘pattern analysis’.

I thought it was fortunate that I was able to acquire the skill today.
I have to go to the academy from tomorrow.
If that happened, I would not be able to take the time to train with Park Eun-ha as I do now.

In the afternoon, I met Shin Hye-yeon and practiced.

For me, I could say it was the perfect weekend.

‘And tomorrow…’

It was the day I entered the academy.
