From the moment the keyword ‘angel’ came up, the two boys seemed to be in sync and started sharing information they had with each other.
Of course, by sharing this, I am not revealing that I am a regressor or possessed person.
Even though we had similar experiences, we both had very cautious personalities that made it difficult to become close right away.
“What was the angel you saw like?”
“Hmm, honestly, I couldn’t see the face clearly. But the moment I saw it, I was sure, ‘Ah, that’s an angel!’ … Instinctively?”
“Similar to me.”
“Oh, one more thing to say, ‘It’s beautiful and sad?’ … I thought about that too.”
“That’s similar too.”
“hmm…….”
“… … .”
The two boys suddenly became less talkative.
It wasn’t that the conversation had stopped, but it seemed like he was recalling the time he met the angel.
However, both boys’ expressions were not good… .
“But the more I think about it, the more I feel uneasy and like I’m trapped in a fog and can’t see ahead.”
“It feels like ink has been sprinkled all over a corner of my brain.”
“Ah! That’s exactly right!”
The more they thought about it, the more they felt like they were falling into a maze, so they could only sigh.
Even though I clearly met an angel, I can’t even think of the angel, and I can’t remember any ‘decisive memory’.
Meanwhile, Lee Han, who was looking at his disciples from a third-party perspective, seemed to have a rough idea of why they were so frustrated.
‘It seems like these guys have vague memories of when they were regressed or possessed?’
I clearly had an intense dream, but when I opened my eyes, I felt like I couldn’t remember it at all.
‘Is that angel, a spring fairy, or something more?’
Well, he is an angel.
A divine being called a messenger of the gods, comparable to dragons or seasonal fairies.
If such an angel exerts his presence, it is inevitable that his memories will be faint.
[Higher Being.]
It is said that most people who meet fairies or dragons go crazy.
It is probably inevitable that memories are blurry like this.
‘Did the chick meet an angel?’
Lee Han chuckled as he thought about his next-door neighbors and the families who might have met angels like them.
That makes sense.
‘I got my memory back after getting stabbed in the back of my head, but other people say I’m an angel… Am I the only one who’s being too old-fashioned?’
It makes me laugh that only the genre is old.
still.
‘I like classic things, though.’
To be honest, I found it a bit creepy to see all these grown guys going ‘angel, angel’, and I was glad I wasn’t included in that group.
* * *
After that, the two boys talked for quite some time.
However, there was no more talk about angels,
“Because there is nothing I can know.”
“Because we are not beings that can know even if we want to know.”
… You can’t keep holding on to a problem that has no answer.
So, the topic of conversation between the two boys was mostly about ‘the future.’
“In all the futures I’ve ‘seen’, the temple has never been this crazy.”
“It’s not even in the information I ‘know’.”
It seems like they share their opinions without reservation, but they still hide what they need to hide.
It’s a given.
Even if you have gone through the same experiences and events, can you really reveal everything?
In fact, even sharing that minimal amount of information would be a big decision for the two boys given their personalities.
Because one side was too suspicious and the other side was too worried, we were cautious… .
That’s why.
“If you tell me the information I want, I will make you pay.”
“Then, me too. I’ll make sure you pay a reasonable price.”
They agreed to gain advantage through fair [transactions].
If we continue to suspect each other and try to hide our information, it will end up being a sluggish thing.
It was the maximum concession they could make.
But.
“What about the instructor?”
“…huh?”
“Would you like to make a deal?”
“me?”
Lee Han blinked at the words of the black guy who suddenly proposed a deal.
I never thought I would hear such a suggestion.
“… On the contrary, I am more embarrassed because you are so embarrassed. Don’t you want to know? It is information about the future. If you just know it, it will be of great benefit to you.”
“… … .”
That’s exactly what I said.
Information about the future is not necessarily limited to events that will occur in the future.
It means that he too will be able to obtain the endless wealth that those two guys possess.
You could live in a mansion that resembles a palace, or eat three meals a day of truffles and beef.
It couldn’t have been an infinitely tempting offer, and it was clear that this was an offer that anyone but a fool would have to accept.
“Uh… I don’t really need it?”
“… ??”
“You don’t have to teach me. And I’m just a poor salaryman with no money to trade with you. What kind of trade is that?”
“… You can give me something else in return.”
“I told you not to, anyway, those who have more will do more…! Tsk, you might as well eat the liver of a flea, you conscienceless noble.”
“No, I didn’t really intend to take advantage of the instructor. There seems to be a misunderstanding.”
He looked resentful after being scolded.
I didn’t say it with the intention of getting an unreasonable price, but I just got cursed at for nothing.
He wanted to continue talking to clear up the misunderstanding, but…
Swish.
“Okay, really.”
Lee Han firmly held out his palm as if to break the flow.
“… … .”
… For a moment, the black one fell silent.
“huh?”
He was the one whose pupils suddenly dilated as he looked at Lee Han’s palm, and Lee Han wondered why this guy was acting like that all of a sudden, but he shrugged his shoulders without really caring.
“Ahem, that guy made a similar offer to you back in the day, but I turned it down too. I didn’t need it.”
“… … .”
“Oh, don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I think your information is worthless. It’s just that it’s astronomically valuable, and that’s why I don’t want to listen to it. If a simpleton like me were to try to calculate the future in a complicated way, it would only give me a headache.”
“… … .”
“So you guys, do your best. All I can do is fight. But you guys, unlike me, can do anything. You guys are smart and can do anything. So, whether you’re a chick or a bear, watch over me. If you ever need my help, call me. That’s the only thing I can do for you.”
“… … .”
“I’ll get up first. I should start preparing for class now. You guys, don’t be late either. Especially you! You noble bastard, please show up!”
Lee Han finally let out his complaint.
When we broke up, I wanted to do it politely, but strangely, I ended up nagging her.
‘Is this the mind of a master?’
… … I don’t know. Whatever it is, I guess I have a bit of a twisted personality.
‘Is it because I’m getting older?’
Ah, I don’t want to become an old fart.
Lee Han missed his youth.
… It was a life that could hardly be called youth.

“… You even paid for our coffee. For someone who calls himself poor, really…”
“… … .”
Derek looked at the silver coins on the table.
Even though Prince Roen had already given the restaurant owner a lot of gold coins, he paid for his own food and theirs as if it was nothing.
Anyway, he is a sincere person.
“Hmm.”
Derek had to struggle a little to keep his mouth from twitching uncontrollably.
I feel like I’m going to burst out laughing like this.
‘I guess this is what it means to be recognized.’
As I chewed on his words, I felt a strange yet joyful feeling.
“…you trust us.”
If we look closely at the words he left behind, we can say that he doesn’t ask anything because he trusts them.
‘You can move more intelligently than you know and move yourself’, – a tone of speech deeply embedded in the belief.
Although he was blunt, he was able to say it so easily because it was based on trust, and Derek felt embarrassed.
Because it was my first time receiving such recognition from someone, no, from a man I respect.
So I was embarrassed, but at the same time, I was proud.
The fact that I can be recognized like this.
at that time.
“-Your hands are a mess.”
“yes?”
“My hands were a mess….”
“?”
It was Roen who was spouting nonsense, and Derek tilted his head.
Because I don’t understand what that means.
“… Did you see the instructor’s palm?”
“The palm? Oh, look, you saw it, right?”
“How was it?”
“That, that….”
Derek was a little flustered by the sudden question, but thanks to his [Instant Memory] skill, Derek quickly recalled what the instructor’s palm looked like.
“… You had a lot of calluses, didn’t you? You had a lot of cuts and scars. It wasn’t just your palms, but your entire fist was covered in cuts. Wow! Thinking about it, you’re really amazing. How harsh must the past years have been…”
The more I think about it in detail, the more amazed I become.
Also, the wounds and scars seemed to be numerous, not just on the palms but all over the body.
It was a trace that proved the kind of effort he had put into his life so far, and anyone could not help but feel respect for him.
But.
“But why the wound? It’s great, but it’s something new…?”
“… … .”
“Confucius?”
“… You seem smart, but you have a bit of a clumsy side.”
“Huh?”
Why are you suddenly criticizing me…?
“-Have you forgotten that the instructor received the fairy’s blessing?”
“…!”
Boom! And suddenly, Derek felt a pain in the back of his head.
As if the tray had been hit hard.
“ah….”
Fairy’s blessing.
To put it in the instructor’s terms, it’s a complete transformation.
And just like this expression, the bodies of the instructor and the hyungrang who received the fairy’s blessing were reconstructed anew, and the wounds they had received in the past disappeared.
But the instructor I saw today was definitely…
‘Why do you have so many calluses and scars?’
… No, how could that be possible?
It was a mind-boggling question, and the answer came from Roen’s mouth.
“All those scars and calluses were formed after receiving the fairy’s blessing. That means they all occurred within a month.”
It’s ridiculous.
Roen couldn’t even guess.
The instructor had already reached a level where it was difficult to find a rival even in the kingdom when it came to military power alone.
But such a person was restless, and in Derek’s case, it even gave rise to the illusion that the wounds he had suffered were traces of 30 years of time.
in other words.
‘Are you saying that I lived one month as if it were 30 years?’
under!
I can’t help but laugh out loud.
In order to get such a wound, it means that you have been training to the point of life and death.
In addition, it also meant that the instructor, who had a unique and abnormal recovery ability, was continuously injured faster than he could recover, so the scars continued to remain.
…fierce?
Even saying that was funny.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this means living every single second with all your heart.
‘Maybe there’s no need to know the future…’
A person who lives in the present with all his might, rather than worrying about tomorrow or a year from now.
For someone who lives each month as if it were 30 years, the misfortunes and crises that lie ahead will have little meaning.
…I will live each day without regrets.
“… I almost made a big mistake, I almost gave the instructor the chains instead.”
“The instructor is most active when he is free.”
“I agree.”
Roen nodded his head sharply and admitted it.
He said that the suggestion he made was completely useless.
… … Although there was a bit of self-reproach, the conversation quickly returned to the main topic.
“When Confucius sees it, what do you think the temple will look like?”
“There are so many methods it’s hard to choose. … Do you have any idea how you might cause an accident?”
“… … .”
“There it is.”
“Uh, uh, this is a bit uncertain….”
“Let me listen.”
“…haha.”
He had already acquired the posture of a great listener, and Derek looked obviously embarrassed, but soon… .
“Whew, it’s almost ‘that time’. I think I’ll aim for that time.”
“At that time?”
“Yes, it’s one of the Academy’s biggest events of the fall.”
“… … Is that what you’re talking about?”
“yes.”
-Entrance exam.
One of the best events in Pendragon to select new cadets.
“If it were me, I would definitely aim for that [entrance exam].”
It was also a time when the academy was opened to outsiders.
“It’s the right time, just as you said. It would be easy for spies from the temple to get mixed in.”
“… … .”
“I see you’re worried. Well, if there’s a spy sneaking in, the other cadets will be in danger too. But don’t worry. I’ll do my best to prevent that from happening.”
“…I will believe you.”
Derek answered as if he was relieved, but in fact he had other concerns.
should.
‘… It’s finally coming.’
‘The main heroine.’
The so-called ‘heroine’.
