A New Power (5)
Anyway, I need to train more. Ive been slacking off lately.
At those words, I suddenly lifted my head.
The words slacking off came out of Park Jin-woos mouth?
This is quite a scoop in itself.
And as soon as I heard those words, something immediately came to mind.
I forced an ominous grin and said to him, Hehe. Have you made any progress lately? Why didnt you tell me, man.
Previously, under the pretext of a friends request, I had become a sacrificial pawn in Park Jin-woos romantic endeavors.
The duel at the academys training hall.
The Holder from the California Academy I saw then.
Camilla Flores.
If what I saw was correct, Park Jin-woo was interested in Camilla at the time.
And if the notorious training maniac Park Jin-woo is using the expression slacking off, the chances are high that its related to Camilla.
Well, its only been about a month. Were just in the texting stage for now.
Park Jin-woo didnt deny it and answered.
But I asked again as if I didnt understand his words.
Why? You should meet up, grab a meal, go to a cafe or something.
This guy
He teased me so much about my romantic exploits, but he cant even unbutton the first one with his own romance?
Park Jin-woo sighed deeply and replied, Ah Id have to be able to meet her first.
During the winter break of the Seoul Holder Academy.
Along with that, Camilla had returned to America.
Of course, its not like she completely withdrew after her exchange student program ended.
She just went home during the break, and shell be back once the new semester starts.
In any case, since shes an American Holder from California, she had to go home to rest during breaks.
So Park Jin-woo has been in frequent contact with Camilla, but he said he just doesnt have a proper opportunity to meet her.
Tsk. Thats too bad.
I clicked my tongue in resignation as well.
This was Park Jin-woos romance that didnt exist at all in the original, so to be honest, I had hoped for it as a fan at one point
It seems well have to wait until the next semester starts before anything happens.
Yeah. What kind of romance is this? Youre more suited for training. Lets go to a dungeon Ive looked into, after some hardcore grinding.
It worked out well this time.
For the strategy to clear that dungeon, I had even considered removing Park Jin-woo from the party if he was too busy
But this way, I can recruit him as a party member without worry.
Since powerful monsters appear frequently in that dungeon, every A-rank Holder was precious.
Park Jin-woo let out a dry laugh at my words.
Wow You want to date around while I roll in the dungeon? Have you ever seen such a jerk?
Why are you being so grumpy? I said, Lets roll together.
Oh, those party members are probably all your girlfriends too.
If youre upset, just call Camilla to Korea.
Damn Nothing has even started yet
I had told Park Jin-woo that three of my friends became my lovers.
Theyre also members of our Underground Dungeon Party, and hes not the type to go blabbing about this fact.
Afterwards, he kept teasing me, So you acted all innocent, but you were dating them all along.
But still, it felt comfortable to open up to my closest friend.
We tease each other every day, calling each other this jerk and that jerk, but Park Jin-woo is the only friend I can have these serious conversations with.
But seriously, how are you planning on dating three of them? Gonna become the Korean Liam Hendricks or what?
The artificial acquisition of runes through repetitive actions.
This amazing method has been revealed to the world for the first time, so its no wonder the entire Holder community is in an uproar.
From now on, many Holders will acquire the [Sword] rune.
Of course, Holders who mainly use [Sword] already possess it, and holders who dont may not necessarily need a rune thats not their main one
But runes grant stat increases when acquired.
Regardless, just acquiring a rune gives you a stat increase, however small.
In the case of the [Sword] rune, if your strength is very low when you acquire it, it gives you 1 point in strength.
It may be meaningless for high-ranked Holders whose stats wont increase, but for newbie Holders just learning about runes, its a precious stat increase.
Perhaps all the close-combat focused Holders will try to obtain this.
Apparently, Song Hyun-ah became a Holder through that method.
Really?
Yeah. So now regular people are all trying to imitate it. They want to become Holders using that method.
I just nodded along to Park Jin-woos words.
I already knew this information.
Moreover, it will soon be revealed that this is not actually a method to awaken as a Holder.
Of course, Song Hyun-ah did become a Holder from being a regular person
But her case is completely different.
In truth, she already had the innate talent to become a Holder, and this method just accelerated that process.
Since so many people are apparently trying it now, the truth will be revealed soon.
But then, I felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort.
It was as if I heard an unfamiliar name from Park Jin-woos words.
Not Song Hyun-i, but Song Hyun-ah?
Not Song Hyun-i, but Song Hyun-ah.
The name I was familiar with had changed.
After listening to Park Jin-woos words, I quickly reread the articles
It was true.
The Holder who first revealed the acquisition method of the [Sword] rune to the world.
The heir of the prestigious Song Sword Master Family.
The person who should have been the male Song Hyun-i was now the female Song Hyun-ah for some reason.
What is this?
Shes even pretty.
With her long, dyed blonde hair, she flaunted a glamorous appearance befitting the heir of a renowned family.
In the original, she was portrayed as an icon of perseverance, overshadowed by her talented brother Song Do-hyuks abilities, but here she gave off the vibe of a noble young lady.
I cant keep track of it.
I thought I had a decent grasp of this world, the differences from the original, and the butterfly effects I had caused
But there were still many unpredictable elements.
This was the first time a characters gender had changed.
Its not a huge deal, though.
Still, nothing seemed to change drastically.
The important thing is that Song Hyun
No, now Song Hyun-ah, was
The Holder who first revealed the acquisition method of the [Sword] rune to the world.
And.
Like Park Jin-woo, shes an incredible icon of perseverance, a possessor of acquired talent who is later rewarded for her efforts.
So if I ever happen to meet her, considering her future achievements, it would be better to maintain a more amicable relationship with her.
Thats about all I needed to keep in mind.
