Episode 120
“Hey! our index! come to work! My sister will kiss you!”
After the game, Adela returned to the waiting room, and Jin Hee-yoon greeted her warmly.
He hugs Adela and brings his face to Adela with his lips sticking out like an octopus.
“Oh, sister! So that’s what I… … !”
Adela was frightened and rebelled.
As if Adela was cute, Jin Hee-yoon continued to cling to her.
Normally, Adela would have taken it off by force, but now Adela has consumed most of her strength while playing the game. It is impossible to physically separate Jin Hee-yoon.
“Sister… … !”
Adela covered Jin Hee-yoon’s lips with her hand and shouted.
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard Adela’s voice so loud.
do you hate it that much At best, it’s just a kiss on the cheek.
“Heh heh. If you entrust everything to your sister… … .”
Senior Jin Hee-yoon, who was even more excited about such an intense reaction, smiled smirkingly and moved her pursed lips.
“stop. This idiot.”
The one who got in between the two was, of course, senior Ma Jin-seok.
He forcibly removes senior Jin Hee-yoon and puts honey chestnuts on his head.
“ouch! Why do you hit me!”
“Why did you hit me because you deserved it? After the game, it must have been difficult. What if I make it harder?”
After getting out of Jin Hee-yoon’s arms, Adela let out a sigh of relief.
“You weren’t trying to make things difficult, were you? I was just trying to express my feelings and love through action!”
“That’s what’s making it hard.”
“what? Do you notice? Did you say anything?”
“no? Aren’t you done yet?”
Then, as usual, the two started arguing.
It was obviously a congratulatory atmosphere for Adela’s victory a moment ago, but in an instant, the atmosphere became like an arena.
“How can they really be so consistent?”
“Ugh. They say they do all the disgrace of the 3rd graders.”
Looking at the two, the other seniors shook their heads.
Among them, there were seniors who were covering their faces with their hands. As if the two of them were truly embarrassed, their cheeks were also red.
But that’s for a while.
Soon after, he approached Adela with a clean expression, as if he had decided to treat him as someone who had neither seniors Jin Hee-yoon Jin nor senior Jin-seok Ma.
“You worked hard.”
“It was really cool.”
“Big. To beat that Kyle Ventia, not anyone else. Also, please sign in advance. I think there will be a premium later.”
The seniors sincerely congratulated Adela.
“thank you.”
Adela bowed her head.
Adela’s expression is vivid as if she is intoxicated by the fact that she won. She seemed genuinely delighted.
“And that, as I said, the cause of death is… … .”
“Why, please do it. A sign. How difficult is that?”
Adela turned her gaze away with an expression of embarrassment at the senior’s complaint, which was not the case.
“There is no such thing as that signature in the first place.”
“are you okay. Just write your name on a piece of paper. If possible, use both a French name and a Korean name.”
“Ah, if you’re going to write it, me too. Go home and brag about it.”
“me too! If you do it, I’ll make it your family heirloom!”
“That, seniors. So… … .”
Adela became restless as she was surrounded by her seniors. The expression of not knowing what to do with this situation.
Adela looked at me through the seniors’ bodies.
‘help.’
The eyes looking at me seemed to say so.
It’s fun to see Adela flustered, but well, it’s better to save her sooner rather than later.
I’ll have to take a break in preparation for the quarterfinals.
With that thought in mind, it was time to approach Adela.
“now. Seniors. Calm down for now.”
Soonchan moved first before me.
“here. I’ll give you my autograph instead. Let’s be satisfied with this for now, and let Adela go to rest!”
Sunchan wrote the name appropriately on the notebook he was holding and handed it to his seniors.
“… … Why are you giving me trash?”
“aha. Does this mean copying your handwriting and impersonating you?”
“and. The handwriting is really dirty.”
Soon-chan was shocked by the seniors’ words without adding or subtracting.
“and. Talk too much.”
Of course, I wasn’t really shocked.
The seniors and Soon-chan were all just joking around.
“Kuk-kuk. Well, I’ll take it for now.”
“If you leave it for just five years and there is no sign of a premium, you should just burn it.”
“Five years is chewing gum. Let it go. That paper will be of great value.”
Soonchan laughed out loud and winked at Adela.
Adela, who escaped from the eyes of her seniors, let out a sigh of relief and bowed her head slightly to Soon-chan.
It was a reaction to thank you for helping me.
“Then Adela. Let’s go to the break room before it’s too late. Condition managers and engineers are all waiting there.”
I called such Adela.
“Ah yes.”
Adela answered briefly and I approached.
“Before that, you should check your body first. Are you uncomfortable anywhere? Looking at it earlier, it looks like it was brushed a little by the breeze.”
Adela couldn’t completely avoid Kyle’s breeze.
From what I saw, the neck leather was cut about 0.1 cm.
“yes. I’m fine. Although I think it would have been a bit like that without the safety setting… … . Aaaaa! sick! Don’t press!”
When I pressed the nape of Adela’s neck, Adela screamed in fright.
The sound was so loud that seniors Ma Jin-seok and Jin Hee-yoon, who were arguing, were startled and turned around.
“The puck looks good too.”
“… … .”
The breeze is such a great attack that I barely blocked it with all my might.
There was no way he could survive an attack like that.
“what. Jisoo Where are you hurt? Are you serious?”
Senior Jin Hee-yoon approached us with a serious expression on his face.
“no. It’s nothing serious. I don’t know if there was no safety setting. It will be cured in about an hour.”
“I see. thank god.”
Starting with senior Jin Hee-yoon, the seniors sighed in relief at the same time.
“Still, I need to make a quick stop at the infirmary before going to the break room. Soonchan. Please contact the infirmary.”
“okay.”
Soonchan quickly took out his phone and made a call.
“Then we will go quickly. Soonchan. Call me if you have any problems.”
Soonchan made a circle with his thumb and forefinger and gave an OK sign.
“See you later.”
“Rest well~ Sorry for making a fuss!”
Adela and I left the waiting room behind the seniors seeing us off.
After leaving the waiting room, walking down the hallway. I asked Adela, who was walking side by side with me.
“Is it okay to be thirsty?”
“yes. are you okay.”
“A small sense of incongruity is fine, so tell me right away if there is anything strange. Don’t be quiet because you’ll get better if you leave it alone.”
The wound on Adela’s neck is a wound that will naturally recover before the semifinals start without treatment in the infirmary.
That’s why Adela hid the fact that she was injured.
I just don’t want to worry about us.
Adela bowed her head and wiggled her fingers.
“Then that… … . It’s such a small thing, but… … .”
Adela spoke carefully.
“What?”
“Should I say that the area around my chest is a bit lumpy? The circle makes me feel strangely uncomfortable.”
“… … You mean you feel uncomfortable handling the mana circle?”
“yes. It may sound like an excuse, but it kept me from completely avoiding the last breeze.”
“If you feel a sense of difference in the mana circle, it’s not trivial.”
I observed Adela’s body with a serious expression.
I activated the divine eye and looked at the mana flowing on the surface of Adela’s skin.
‘For now, there are no abnormalities that can be seen externally.’
If there was a problem with the mana circle, there should be a problem with the mana that spouts out, but I don’t see any symptoms like that.
Except for the mana cut on his neck, everything is fine.
“Adela. I’m sorry. Can I put my hand on your back for a moment?”
In order to observe more closely than this, I have no choice but to put my hand on Adela’s body and infuse my mana into Adela’s body and directly observe the mana inside.
“yes? yes.”
“okay. Then turn your back for a moment.”
“yes.”
Adela turned her back to me.
I put my hand on Adela’s back and breathed my mana into it.
My mana quickly started permeating Adela’s body.
There was no such thing as resistance.
I already know 100% of Adela’s unique mana properties.
If I infuse my mana according to that nature, there will be no side effects.
My mana quickly traveled around Adela’s body along her mana veins.
The process was repeated 10 times to find a sense of difference that Adela would feel.
‘… … Everything from the mana circle to the inner circuit is normal.’
But couldn’t find anything wrong. Adela’s body was perfectly normal.
It is a physical condition that would not be strange even if it was called the best condition, let alone ideal.
“Isn’t it because you haven’t adjusted to your changed body yet?”
Could it be that Adela has not yet adapted to the body that has changed while consuming God’s grace?
“… … It doesn’t feel like that. Mana definitely moves according to my will. She has no discomfort or discomfort in the act.”
“… … okay?”
If Adela is so sure, it’s not a problem of maladjustment.
‘So what?’
I breathed mana again and observed Adela’s mana veins and mana structure inside her body.
This time, despite a little more detailed observation, I couldn’t find anything wrong.
“Didn’t you say that the place where you feel a sense of discomfort is near the heart?”
“yes. Should I say it’s lumpy? Should I say it’s tickling? It should be said that it is strangely empty, but it is difficult to express it clearly, but it feels like that.”
“It’s tickling and empty… … .”
Then, let’s focus on detecting the mana circle around the heart.
I thought so and concentrated all the mana around Adela’s heart.
‘Four rings circulating with unmatched efficiency. all fine… … .’
In the meantime, I noticed something strange.
‘wait for a sec… … .’
Next to the four rings, I sensed a very small space that seemed to float strangely.
A niche located in a space that stands parallel to the four rings.
‘This can’t be… … .’
My pupils dilated in bewilderment.
“Adela. Have you ever tried weaving the fifth loop after taking the elixir?
“no. I’ve never tried it before, let alone after taking the elixir. It is not yet at that stage.”
“okay. Then it’s only natural that you don’t know.”
I removed my hand from Adela’s back. Adela turns her body again to look at me.
“To put it bluntly, your body, Adela, is all set to weave the fifth loop.”
“… … yes?”
Adela was momentarily speechless.
“Could you say it again?”
“you. You can become a 5th circle user just by weaving now.”
Adela’s eyes widened.
“Well, that can’t be… … . It’s only been two months since weaving the fourth circle… … .”
“Really. The reason you feel uncomfortable around the heart is because there is no circle where it should be. That’s why I feel empty.”
With only four engines on a frame that should be running on five engines.
That is exactly the current state of Adela.
It would work even without it, but since there is an empty space, it is inevitable to feel a sense of heterogeneity and emptiness.
“I feel that way after hearing that explanation… … .”
Adela looked around her body in disbelief.
Looking at Adela like that, he smiled.
‘God’s grace, they say it’s the supreme elixir that grants you the talent to become the best wizard of that era… … .’
Circle up as soon as you consume it.
Indeed, it was a devil-like efficacy that could be called the supreme elixir.
