NOVEL NEXT WORLD chapter 22
22 – Main Quest This sh*t # 1
No, but this is too unfair.
This nagging is outrageous. I didn’t scream because I was happy… I just screamed to prevent a disaster!
“Wait! Leona! Calm down!”
“Does it look real! Such a catastrophe happened in the class where I am the class president!”
“It’s not a disaster! I’m the one who prevented the disaster!”
“What, what? What bullsh*t is this?”
ㅡ Chuck.
Leona crossed her arms and said while frowning at her.
“If there was a disaster that could be prevented with such a scream, there would be no such thing as a disaster in this world. If people just screamed, it would be solved by itself.”
“So it’s a misunderstanding. Mr. Angel Leona? Listen to me.”
“Hmph. Let’s listen. I’m looking forward to seeing what absurd excuses he will make. If he says something outrageous, he’ll go to physical therapy, so be prepared.”
What are you my wife!
“No. What physical therapy appointments did you have… Put my name on the hospital blacklist. Anyway, that’s it. There was some commotion? No. It’s not a commotion, you could say it was an incident.”
“The Incident? What?”
“No, there was a sword fight between the students? That’s why I screamed and called the instructor to stop it. The instructor won’t come if you make a fuss. I’m sorry, but if you keep doing that, I’m going to cry because I’m unfair.”
“Yes, yes?”
Leona tilted her head.
“What kind of swordplay is that…”
“Sihoo. You can testify. I don’t think Reona-san will believe me.”
Since I said that, Sihoo came right in front of me and said.
“Hmm. First of all, if I look at the conclusion, should I say that it is correct? It is also true that Instructor Lee So-ra came and suppressed it because Geun-cheol shouted.”
Sihoo Nice!
“Is that so?”
“Yes. That’s it. Leona. You have a big misunderstanding about me. I didn’t scream because I liked it. I screamed to save people. If I hadn’t screamed, I’d be a victim of that incident by now. I must have been screaming.”
You have to stand tall here!
“That’s right.”
Leona agreed.
“Umm… If it’s what Sihoo Lee said, it must be true. If that’s true, then I’m just screaming.”
“Yes. Do you understand now?”
“I was wrong about this. Kim Geun-chul? I’m sorry.”
Apologizing surprisingly coolly.
“But what kind of incident was it?”
But I guess I’m interested.
Of course I pouted.
Don’t talk.
“Huh. If you’re curious about the whole story, ask Instructor Lee So-ra directly. I’m so upset I can’t talk. Shihoo? Let’s go and sit down.”
“Geuncheol-ah, how excited…!”
“Gogo.”
“Wait! Tell me what the case is!”
“I’m heartbroken right now. My delicate heart is in an ‘ouch’ state. It’s impossible to say anything in such a situation…”
“Ah! I’ll give you a meal ticket! I’ll give you a meal ticket, so tell me! And what the f*ck! You’re talking weird-“
“Yahhhhh!!!”
“Wow!”
A meal ticket!!!!
Then you have to say it unconditionally!!!
“Thank you for the meal ticket! I’ll wrap it up and tell you properly! But first, classes come first!”
“No, I shouted at the word meal ticket again… Anyway! The monster Kim Geun-cheol! It was my misunderstanding this time, but I’ll be watching!”
Are you a monster now?
“No, Leona-san? Is it okay to look at people and call them monsters?”
“Why are you reacting normally all of a sudden!”
“Yeah… That’s ‘common sense’.”
“Common sense sucks!”
It tastes like a real joke.
“Huh. Whatever it is, doesn’t Kim Geun-chul always say that you’re an angel too? Now I have to do it too.
Having said that, Leona very proudly returned to her seat.
You’re really arrogant.
I also went to a seat and sat down.
“Screaming Man! That’s great! The number of recommendations has already exceeded 200! All students will see it by the end of today! hahahaha!”
“You bastard Ken… Hey. Didn’t you hear that? I was trying to save someone.”
“Oh! Save people and make them laugh! Scream Man seems to be a really kind-hearted man!”
“hehehehe, this sh*t.”
“But what about drinks?”
“I f*cking forgot. I’ll buy you tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Soon the class started.
* * *
“The incident in which Mr. Kim Young-sam, an A-rank Awakener, single-handedly blew up the Japanese Government-General of Korea is very famous. It was a building that survived the tragic Korean War and the Dimension War, but Kim Young-sam did not like it very much. It is said that he did not… Anyway, civic activist Kim Young-sam possesses explosive-type abilities. Let’s learn more about that ability…”
It was a truly amazing story.
Kim Young-sam is not the president, but the A-rank Awakened Bomb Mine World Line? As he took notes of the absurd story, he heard an explanation of this ability of his.
Awakeners use superhuman strength by using the internal resource of magic, but this is not limited to strengthening the body.
It is also possible to perform magical attacks.
However, depending on a person’s constitution, even if they use such ‘magic’, there are quite a few types, but it seems that such an attribute is roughly called supernatural power.
“It’s supernatural.”
For now, I was only at a level where I could get some physical strength or superhuman strength. Here, you need to level up more to be able to use magic. But from what I’ve heard, it doesn’t seem like that.
It is said that there are cases where even if the body is not good at strengthening, there are cases where one has a talent for magic, and vice versa.
It is said that the world of Awakeners is very diverse.
“Geuncheol-ah, shall we go to the training ground together?”
“hehehehe, yes.”
Well, that’s how today’s class ended.
What if class is over? You have to go to the training ground and train and do gymnastics. What a surprise. Is this the life of a hero? Honestly, it’s f*cking hard and hard.
“Shihoo. Do you want to go to the gym after playing at the training ground today?”
“Huh? The gym?”
“Uh. Get some exercise.”
“Yeah, well. Maybe.”
“Okay. Then let’s go right away.”
I packed my bag and woke up right away.
“Wait, Kim Geun-cheol?”
“You are Leona!”
Leona is approaching!
“Have you forgotten anything? What happened to that stabbing incident earlier?”
“I’ll tell you when I get the meal ticket. It’s prepaid.”
“Oh, no! You mean to buy now!”
“You can give it to me around lunch tomorrow.”
“Okay, give me your phone number. If you’re busy right now, I’ll listen to you later.”
“Uh. Here.”
I immediately handed Leona her smartphone. With it she calls herself and stores her number.
“Okay. You said you were going to the training ground? Well, working hard is commendable. Then.”
“hehehehe, yes. Goodbye. Meal ticket Leona.”
“Who is the Meal Ticket Leona!”
I’ll call you later and let you know.
“Geuncheol-ah.”
“Uh. Sihoo. Let’s go quickly.”
“Hmm.”
“What. Why?”
Why are you staring at me like this?
“Is it Sihoo?”
“…”
You have a strange expression on your face?
It feels like you’re staring at me with narrow eyes.
Are you staring at me? Why is it after?
Do you have any reason to stare at me?
Ah!
This bastard can’t believe it!
“You…! Do you have Angel Leona-san in your heart!”
“What?”
“Is that so?”
“Geuncheol-ah. Don’t say anything strange and let’s go to the training ground.”
After saying that, Sihoo took the lead and walked out.
“Uh… Yes.”
What is it?
* * *
Anyway, I went to the training ground with Sihu and learned how to use the newly acquired skill.
“Urk – High Jump!”
Recalling the sensation from earlier, I kicked the ground while spraying her mana beneath my feet. Then I felt a sensation as if my body was floating, and my body rose slightly more than it would normally jump.
It’s such a strange feeling.
“Geuncheol succeeds!”
“Wow! This really just works!”
“But I’m still very immature. The basic thing is to be able to write naturally as much as I want when I want. Take a good look. Just like me now.”
—-Damn it!
Sihoo demonstrated in front of me. Literally, she naturally uses her magic as if it were part of her body, and casts a smooth high jump.
“It’s f*cking amazing.”
“Even Geun-cheol will do well if he works hard. Ah, but that’s important.”
“What?”
“Checking the amount of mana. Geun-cheol may not know very well yet. How much mana is left in his body.”
“That’s…”
I felt it once.
“I don’t know yet.”
“If you get used to it a little more, try spreading the mana in your body to the whole body and training while rotating it. Then the amount of mana might increase.”
“Keuuu… This is very helpful? Then let’s finish!”
“Wait. You have to take it slow at first. You’ll get very tired when your energy runs out.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Then it’s a bit difficult. I have to do gym too. Regarding this complete magical power, it is a flaw that I can not check the remaining amount because I am a raw newbie.
“Then, that’s all for high jump training, ah. If you master this, you’ll be able to dash, right?”
“Of course.”
“Okay! Let’s catch the hologram monster!”
“Geuncheol-ah. You shouldn’t scream that you were hit while avoiding something again.”
“Hey. Don’t believe me? Start quickly, dude. I’ll show you my changed side.”
“hehehehe. Okay.”
So I spent time with Shihu defeating the hologram monster at the training ground. But Shihoo seemed so used to it that he spent most of his time just watching me kill an F-rank monster.
As Sihoo, there is no need for such training. Even if you catch an F-class monster at his level, you won’t be thrilled.
“But I’m sorry about this.”
“What?”
“You are unable to practice individually because you are looking after me.”
“Ah… That’s okay. I can control it. Helping my friends is also important.”
“hehehehe, is that so? But thank you very much. I’ll get used to it quickly so I won’t bother you.”
“…”
Then it’s time to wrap it up.
“Sihoo. Let’s stop now and go to the gym.”
“…Yes.”
I immediately settled down with Sihoo and headed upstairs to the gym. It’s nice that the facility is so spacious. There are a lot of people and it’s cool. There are too many instruments.
“The changing room is over there. Let’s go in.”
“Huh…? Huh? Huh?”
“Why?”
“The locker room…? Ah! It’s a gym…!”
Sihoo shows a strange reaction. While thinking about what to do, I went and stood in front of the locker where the gym clothes were arranged. I’m holding the big one.
“Sihoo, you should wear this size smaller here.”
That was the moment I entered the locker room after telling him that.
“Hmm?”
I looked behind me and Shihoo didn’t follow me.
A state of standing still over there with his hands on his chest.
“Hey. What are you doing not coming?”
“Geuncheol-ah.”
“Why?”
“Geuncheol-ah. That… I am. That’s it.”
That’s it?
“I have work to do!”
“To do? What is it?”
“I need to do something with the computer!”
“No dude. If you’re not busy, go to work out. I came here to do something together, but suddenly you’re leaving alone.”
“I’m busy! Sorry! See you tomorrow!”
Sihoo shouted that.
ㅡ Ssang!
I went out in a hurry.
No, I’m busy.
“A bland bastard.”
In the end, I did the gym alone.
Sihoo this traitor Sheck.
* * *
“The time has finally come!”
I finished the gym, came home and took a shower! The state of putting money back in the microwave! Leona said she’ll give you a meal ticket tomorrow, so you can go to the buffet tomorrow!
I waited for everything to be perfect like now!
“Then come out. My ‘status window’…!”
ㅡ Tiring!
―――――――――――――――――
[Status window – Kim Geun-chul]
[Rank : F]
「 Strength : 13 」
「 Skill : 13 」
「 Stamina : 12 」
「 Endurance: 10」
「 HP : 10 」
―――――――――――――――――
“Whoa!”
A noticeable change at a glance!
The skill level increased by 1!
This is very fulfilling, isn’t it?
Raising stats would be fun.
After looking at it with satisfaction, I opened the shop window.
“Shop window!”
Now I am a shopman who can use a shop.
ㅡ Tiring!
――――――――――――
[Strength (1) – 3,000 Coin]
[Skill (1) – 3,000 Coin]
[Stamina (1) – 3,000 Coin]
[Durability (1) – 3,000 Coin]
[Power (1) – 3,000 Coin]
[Owned Coin (3,000)]
――――――――――――
I was worried about the shop window that appeared right in front of me. Since I can buy stats, I plan to buy stats.
“I’ve already decided what to upload.”
Honestly, strength or skill. Health. Well, I think I can upload something like this if I work hard in my daily life. But I can’t get a feel for magic power. Above all, a superman is a superman because he has magical powers.
So you should invest in magic.
“Go with magic.”
You have to have a lot of magical power to be able to ride around buildings like Instructor Lee So-ra or smash monsters with your bare fists.
The moment I pressed magic while thinking that.
[Magic power increased by 1]
A cheerful notification sound tickled my ears.
“Total stats increased by 2. With this, I became very strong.”
I want to test my strength right now.
“While violently beating this piggy bank. I’ll bite and eat it really hard with the enhanced stats, so look forward to it.”
He immediately pointed his finger at the pig, gnashing his teeth and seriously threatening. Everyone can relate to this, but people are creatures that want to threaten and intimidate people when they see delicious food.
“Sure.”
Eat.
ㅡ Cheo-eok.
It was the moment when I grabbed the money box.
ㅡ Tiring!
“Oh surprise!”
Suddenly another notification sound…
―――――――――――――――――
「Main Quest Liberation Conditions Satisfied」
「First time using the store」
「Reward: Main Quest Liberation」
―――――――――――――――――
“What?”
A main quest?
Is the quest up?
“f*ck! OK!”
This is important!
A new window popped up right away.
――――――――――
「Main Quest – ??」
「???????????????」
――――――――――
A window full of question marks!
“No!!! What can I say!!! You f*cker!!!”
If you give me a quest, you don’t have to show me the contents!!!
