After Returning, My Abilities are Infinite

Chapter 12: The Auger in the Pocket (1)

The Auger in the Pocket (1)

Measurement inspection.

Procedure for all cadets entering the academy.

Initially, it was a principle to disclose all the characteristics and skills in detail, but that changed as crimes among awakened people increased.

-Characters and skills should be disclosed only briefly. Even if the cadet does not want to record, it does not matter.

In the beginning, the ‘first plague’ starts with the same awakening, not a monster…

‘Of course, I never cared about that.’

Who would care about excellent insight?

To benefit at least a little when I entered the academy, I wrote down all of my qualities in detail in the status window.

That’s why no one knew my characteristics when I was living as an analyst.

‘It’s a little different this time.’

If I added the characteristic of my Akashic record, and the singularity of ‘regression’ on it, then, all the attention of the world will come to me.

And based on experience, it was not a wise choice in any situation to attract excessive attention.

It was time to build strength.

There was no guarantee that if I died again, I would be able to return.

“… What do you mean by that question?”

So I looked at the instructor Park Hyun-suk and asked.

“You probably didn’t measure your ability to reawaken this time, but the academy’s measuring instruments won’t give you accurate numbers. I’m planning to get you precise measurements with the help of an outside agency.”

“Why?”

There were many questions in my short question.

There were several advantages of precise measurements.

‘Ability’ does not appear in the status.

It accurately extracts figures like strength, agility, and horsepower.

Also, it gives a rough estimate of how likely you are to grow in the future, and it will recommend the suitable equipment and assign you to the appropriate position.

‘And if the instructor gives the measurement, it can be a precise measurement.’

Precise measurement with the help of an external agency was something that even awakened goldsmiths couldn’t afford.

It’s impossible to achieve without a network like that.

‘But it is not essential.’

If you don’t check your stats, you still know your physical condition best, and above all, even if you look at the status, you don’t need to measure it.

I have never used a measuring instrument to analyze.

It was more accurate for me to take a look than to take a measurement.

In fact, after I published a few simple theories of status analysis, it has become a trend for guilds and government agencies not to use measuring instruments.

I’m overwhelmed because there were many outstanding analysts besides me.

“… it doesn’t sound like you need a measurement. ”

“Yeah. If I skim through the status, I can see it all. But, once I measure, my information remains intact.”

“When I entered the academy, I remember the student who wrote down his information quite detailed. You want to record the ability to reawaken this time, is that it? ”

“Something like that. The better the ability, the more reason to hide it.”

Park Hyun-suk burst into laughter.

“… There is nothing more to say. It is correct. Then you don’t want to leave a record, and I don’t think there is any need, so why not accept it? ”

“I’m sorry… That’s what you heard.”

“Okay. I know.”

I revealed an intention to refuse.

However, Park Hyun-suk seemed to know the answer in advance.

What? Did the instructor return?

Before I could think further, Park Hyun-Seok spoke.

“In the actual evaluation, the ability to get a perfect score is extraordinary.”

I thought.

Then, what is the reason for this?

“Then, will the refusal will be delivered directly to people from external institutions that will come a little later?”

“… Yes?”

“You can tell the guild’s faces by looking at the faces of guild scouts who are expecting the results of a promising measure.”

Ah.

The intention was now well understood.

‘In the beginning, I didn’t really think about my awakening ability properly.’

Guild scouts.

I just made an excuse not to show my face to them, and to make a point of not contacting them at all.

To measure or not, it was my decision.

But whatever you choose, there is a chance to get in touch with the people of the guild.

‘It is not easy to meet people who are active in the awakening industry as a cadet.’

I felt grateful to Hyun-Seok Park.

But why are you doing this?

“I don’t have a schedule because it’s a holiday today, By 4 PM, scouts will be there. It’s a rare opportunity, so be prepared.”

“…”

“I saw that you participated in the actual evaluation with a training sword, but if you go to the cadet arsenal, you can use various items from the second grade. And I saw that your family was in poor condition, so if you apply for assistance, you can receive simple items.”

Park Hyun-Seok continued.

“Meeting with guild officials is really difficult, so I’m going to repeat it. If you properly appeal them with your talent, even if you don’t sign a contract, you may be able to receive support from a sponsor.”

“Yes. I will prepare properly.”

I nodded and smiled lightly, facing his eyes.

[He’s very interested. He might be your secret brother.]

I swallowed my response to the traveler’s words and stayed silent.

‘In this messed up world, everyone has a story.’

Most stories were tragedies caused by monsters, cracks, and disasters.

The world’s ‘talented awakeners’ now had the potential to stop such tragedy and possibly to annihilate them so that such unfortunate things would never happen again.

‘There is no hope for those who have already grown to the limit.’

It was funny.

Little ones who are still young were the adults’ heroes.

Some of those who lag behind due to lack of items often have brilliant talents.

This was such a desperate world.

“Then, call me. I’ll come.”

* * *

“I think you feel good after receiving a perfect score. I didn’t even see your face on the training ground.”

“Oh, thank you.”

I was wiping off the sweat, when suddenly Lee Jin-woo, came from behind me and gave me a bottle of water.

In fact, even after I got the ‘Akasik Record’, I was told that training through ‘Link’ was enough. So, I didn’t usually use the training ground when there were other students.

Nevertheless, the reason for training at this time was simple.

“But what sword? Did you originally use a sword?”

“With my skills, I can’t pass on my sword yet. When I received it, I may have been strong. But without the power I have gained with enlightenment, I will not be able to progress any further.”

Articles from the Balstaya Empire were connected through communication and sharing.

It was to receive the swordsmanship.

‘Swipe the sword until you’re satisfied? That’s a vague request. ‘

The knight never spoke to me like the traveler.

Instead, when I wielded my sword, He spat advice continuously.

“The route was just good. That’s enough to prevent a sword wielded by our knights’ probation!”

?What is that poor swordsmanship? I’m going to stop that black grandmother!”

Sometimes he would compliment me, sometimes harsh advice.

“It’s still not enough to get ‘Valstaya Fencing’. Now, more! Without rest!”

“… Since the sword is the basic, I think I should deal with one weapon. I’m practicing. ”

I heard the voice of the knight crying loudly, laughing hard, and starting to wield the sword again.

“I practice hard. If you just swing it so ignorantly, you hurt your muscles, man. ”

I don’t want to be so ignorant, you bastard.

I forcibly swallowed those words and wielded the sword with Lee Jin-woo behind.

[You work very hard. Honestly, I want to tell you to throw away such terrible fencing … Because your body is so small, you have to stack even those little things.]

“…”

[Regardless of the type, let’s pile up hard inside. If it’s usable, It can help you later.]

Even as the traveler spoke, he slashed the air without rest.

?Let’s give it a little more power.?

“Think that you’re facing an enemy and wield it. There is no fighting spirit!”

I swung again.

Boowoong

I heard a sound like I was actually cutting off something.

“… Hey, look at him.”

“What is that noise?”

Other students stopped training and turned to me.

“It swings rather oddly.”

“During training time, like that… Have you ever learned? ”

Some cadets forgot their training and stood still, staring.

“… He was awakened. He’s definitely different.”

Lee Jin-woo, standing behind, couldn’t take his eyes off.

I didn’t stop cutting the air and remained focused.

Knights stood in front of me with their swords and equipped with full plate armor.

It was a scene I drew in my head that I imagined over a hundred times today.

I died in my imagination over and over again.

My lack of strength leaves me unable to defend myself properly. I get beheaded, stabbed in the chest, or I lose my sword, or my leg.

But this time, something was different.

To be precise, the clarity of the senses was different.

[Immersiveness rises.]

It was as if I was really standing there. The smell of dirt was around me. The heat felt as if I was in the sun.

Besides.

[Immersiveness rises.]

Like a real Valstaya knight, the power overflowed me like an explosion.

“When I saw the sword flying for the first time, I thought my eyes were blind.”

The voice of the knight flowed in my head.

“So, you think that it was a miracle to get the sword.”

And my sword drew a straight line from bottom to top.

It was light and heavy, and it was easy and quick.

[Immersiveness rises.]

And after that, I put the sword in my hand without my knowledge.

?This one was worth seeing.?

“…”

[Definitely, you have talent. What is the speed of accepting the story …]

The sword hit the floor and bounced once, and a metallic sound spread throughout the training ground.

Nobody said a word.

“Wow!”

Only

Except for one…

“I made an appointment with the guild scouter who wanted to see how great the late cadet is…”

“If you have to train more, do more. I will wait for two or three hours.”

A man in a suit with a briefcase in one hand stood on the training grounds.

Clap clap.

The guild scouter’s applause echoed through the deathly still training ground.

“It’s already past 4 o’clock? I had 3 hours left until the appointment, so I came to the training ground for a while …”

Unintentionally, I seemed to have left an excellent first impression.
