Chapter 16 – Personal Growth
“…”
Lee Yu-na woke up from her slumber.
The regular ticking of the wall clock.
The familiar chirping of birds in the morning.
Bright sunlight was pouring through the window.
‘That’s right, heavenly luck returned yesterday.’
My mind was clear.
My body was light as if there was no weight, and it was so comfortable that there was no awkwardness even if I got up right away.
“Ugh…”
He groaned and hugged the soft blanket.
He rubbed his face against the white pillow, enjoying the feel.
A new morning was beginning.
Unlike when Chun-Woon is not at home, his body and mind are at ease.
“Ah, good…”
There is no pain at all in the chest or heart area.
While Cheonwoon was out on the field, his head hurt from paying attention to the occasional pain, but it wasn’t like that anymore.
He smiled wide in spite of himself.
“Where is Cheonwoon?”
Lee Yu-na got up and looked for heavenly luck.
Seeing his face would make me feel twice as good in the morning.
“Yes?”
There was no luck.
Reason I turned her head and looked at her wall clock.
7 am.
Civil servants are preparing to go to work.
For hunters, it was time to exercise in the morning.
“Uh? Why did I wake up so early?”
It has never happened so quickly since treatment began.
I fall into a deep sleep and when I wake up, it is between 9 and 10 am. It was late morning.
So, there were times when Cheonwoon left the rift early and couldn’t see it at all, and on days off, we waited until lunch to eat together.
But now it is 7 o’clock.
A time when Lee Yu-na could never have happened.
She felt an unfamiliar feeling in her at this early hour.
‘Should I go back to sleep?’
It wasn’t sleep deprivation. The body was in excellent condition.
It was light as if flying, perhaps because Chun-wun treated her wholeheartedly throughout the night.
‘Then shall we have breakfast?’
Seeing that there was no heavenly luck at home, he seemed to have gone out for a morning workout.
Would you like it if I made breakfast and waited for you?
‘But they eat breakfast lightly.’
Originally, it was common for Cheonun and Lee Yoonana to eat snacks such as bread, milk, and cereal in the morning.
Chun-wun did not prepare meals because he had been working out, and Lee Yu-na was fast asleep.
‘If I suddenly eat breakfast, I’ll get bitten.’
People who didn’t eat breakfast knew.
How uncomfortable she feels when she eats the breakfast she didn’t eat.
Why did I know that? I thought about it as I brushed her hair.
‘Then what should I do?’
She sat astride the bed and tapped her feet.
The lightness of her body made her feel good.
‘Let’s go see Heavenly Luck.’
She wanted to go out on a morning after a long absence.
Waking up at this time, the sun felt brighter for some reason, and she also wanted to see Chunyun training in the morning.
If she slept alone while exercising, she felt lazy even if it was for her recovery.
Reason I put on her sweatpants and set out to find heavenly fortune.
The studio where Chun-wun lives is close to the nursery school she used to live in.
As she walked the streets she missed and welcomed, Lee Yu-na’s feet gained even more strength.
My body is definitely better than before.
She walked as if she were sightseeing, looking around for nothing.
Hunter Training Grounds.
Civic Park.
Walking distance.
I looked for a place where Chun-wun might be exercising, but I couldn’t find it.
She tried to contact me on her cell phone, but stopped.
As she said, she had a place on her mind.
Nursery school days.
Chunun and Lee Yuna used to train together in the morning in the mountain behind the orphanage.
It was a suitable empty space with natural grass and few people, so it was good to concentrate.
She feels refreshed in the morning when she is exercising in the cool breeze.
‘It’s there.’
Lee Yu-na smiled brightly.
For some reason, the road to the back mountain in search of heavenly luck was new and exciting.
*
The hill behind the orphanage.
I was exercising in a quiet vacant lot no different from my hideout.
Hunters are said to become stronger through magic, but it was also essential to train their basic physical strength.
10 km run, sit-ups, push-ups, squats and so on. Basic exercises were performed without using any magical energy.
Training without magic was good for building muscles and increasing cardiorespiratory endurance. While being faithful to the basics, he strengthened his internal stability.
Next is skill.
I learned a lot from Arachne Forest.
In addition to raising the level of her [Milk], [Care], And [Nursing] Skills, she acquired Arachne’s [Assault], [Bind], And [Paralysis] Skills.
I practiced these skills so that they would come out naturally even in the middle of a fight.
[Understanding Kendo] After swinging the sword according to the swordsmanship listed in the skill book, Lee Yu-na’s [Single point crushing] Skill was a surprise.
Move your body quickly with [Assault] For an instant, then use the [Bind] And [Paralysis] Skills.
I put a virtual enemy in front of me and studied the pattern of which skill to use at what timing.
While I was practicing so immersed in it.
A familiar silhouette stood out in a corner of the clearing.
Light gray sweatshirt, straight black hair down to his shoulders. Elegant and refreshing appearance. Reason or
She was smiling and looking at me.
‘How did you know this place at this time…’
Lee Yu-na, who would normally be sleeping at home, suddenly appeared and was embarrassed, but it wasn’t such a bad feeling.
Anyone who sees such a pretty smile will feel happy.
“Were you exercising here?”
“Yes. Why or why did you wake up early? What are you doing here?”
“I woke up early today, but I felt refreshed so I went for a walk!”
Looking at his expression, he looked more happy and excited than usual.
The reaction is big and strong, probably because the treatment went well yesterday.
I looked at her and laughed at her because she was cute.
“But what was it?”
“Yes?”
“I saw a skill similar to my ‘One Point Crushing’, and it seemed like I was using magic.”
Lee Yu-na asked while tilting her head.
Looking at his expression, he must have wondered what I was doing.
‘Ah…’
Reason I felt like I had been hit in the head by her.
Come to think of it, you must have seen me use all my skills.
[One-Point Crushing], [Assault], [Bind], And [Paralysis] Were skills acquired from the breastfeeding through [Feeding].
It was difficult to explain simply through the application of qigong techniques.
Even if [One Point Crushing] And [Assault] Are aside, [Bind] And [Paralysis] Are skills that belong to magic, so I can’t say they are qigong.
“I woke up.”
“Yes?”
“Recently, while hunting in Arachne Forest, it finally developed its characteristics.”
Lies came out more naturally than I thought, like flowing water, as if I had waited.
I didn’t think that the lie of qigong would work forever.
I had to come up with a new excuse.
The excuses that I had thought of in my head, sorted out and came out of my mouth.
I may have a natural talent for lying.
“Awakened? Really?”
Lee Yu-na was surprised and jumped back.
The word awakening was so far away from me.
But now is the time to bring this up.
“I studied skill books such as [The Standards of Qigong], [Understanding Kendo], And [Introduction to Magic] At home.”
Why are you nodding and shaking your head?
“Perhaps it’s because I studied various types of skills, so my characteristics have bloomed accordingly. ‘All Masters’.”
“?!”
She was startled.
*
Awakening of the Hunter is accomplished by blooming characteristics and receiving system messages.
There was a case where the status window was visible when exposed to the magical power of the other world, but awakening did not always happen right away.
Characteristics should also bloom.
There were people who were naturally able to handle magical powers, and their characteristics were created in the direction of their talents, apart from the status window.
Characteristics and status window. This was the condition of awakening.
Among them, I have always argued that there is no characteristic.
At first, there are no attributes or status windows.
After that, he claimed that he had no characteristics for his hunter activities.
Now is the time to reveal its plausible character.
It’s called ‘All Master.’
I can skip any skill with [Feeding].
Inevitably, you will learn various skills in the future,
Allmaster was an apt title to describe him.
“Oh, oh, the Allmaster?”
“Yes, Allmaster.”
“Cheonwoon is a trait that suits you. All Master. You’re good at studies and sports from the beginning, and you’re good at swordsmanship, magic, shooting, defense, and tactics. You are excellent without exception!”
“Kuhm, um.”
It was embarrassing that I lied to him for trusting me so innocently.
Anyway, how great is the image Lee Yu-na has of me.
I accepted it right away, without questioning anything.
I felt a bit embarrassed about my unreasonably high credit rating.
“That’s great! Lately, I’ve seen you get really strong, but it must be because your traits are blooming! That’s great! Great! Congratulations really!”
She was delighted as if it were her job.
I was delighted to be able to respond to her with her shy face.
Wow, that’s exciting. All-master.
Actually, it was milking.
“When did you find out? You should have told me sooner!”
“Well, it wasn’t long before I found out. Awakening was completed in Arachne Forest, but when I returned home, your treatment was more urgent. So I decided to treat myself first, check my characteristics more, and then explain it to you.”
It was my mouth, but strangely, excuses come out easily.
It might have helped that she had been lying to hide [Milk].
Maybe I’ve learned how to cheat.
“Huh. My treatment was urgent, but still…”
Lee Yu-na was embarrassed and brushed the side of her hair.
I didn’t hate it because treatment was my priority.
“Anyway, that’s why I was able to use these skills. I have been able to use qigong techniques to my heart’s content, and I have followed your ‘single-point crushing’ skill after seeing it with my own eyes.”
“Yeah, I saw it. During my swordsmanship training, it moved similarly to my ‘One Point Crushing’. Well, I didn’t follow it perfectly.”
From Lee Yu-na’s point of view, her skills and mine seemed to be distinctly different.
From the perspective of the original source, the lack of copy was easy to understand.
She, who has the ‘sword post’ trait, uses the [One-point crushing] Skill, and I, who has the ‘milk’ trait, uses the [One-point crushing] Skill.
Reason: From my point of view, the difference will be particularly noticeable to her.
“It is the same with magic. Looking at the skill book, I understood and learned a few things.”
“Five…”
As I explained about her magic, my eyes widened with surprise.
“Well, it’s still in the rudimentary stage.”
I added a sajok. He’s not a true all-master, so you shouldn’t say that you know how to do everything just by looking at him.
“Unah.”
“Yes?”
“Then, would you like to go to the Awakening Center and check it out?”
“Awakening Center?”
Lee Yu-na said with a rather serious expression.
“Let’s go and inspect the properties in detail to see what effect they have. Awakening registration is complete.”
Uh?
I reasoned with her blank face and stared at me.
My characteristic is milking to the end.
Even if I went, nothing came out.
