Academy Life of a Career Hypnotist

Episode 12. minor deviation (2)

[‘Delusion Practice’ is activated.]

“Whoa.”

I corrected my posture and landed on the floor. The arm that blocked the fist throbbed a little, but not to the point of breaking or cracking a bone.

[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]

After sweeping my surprised chest with the power of nature, I watched his movements while adjusting my breathing.

‘No need to panic. It’s not to the extent that I can’t win.’

Just now.

I dodged his attack without ‘mental acceleration’. It means that the speed is slow compared to the strong power.

“Are you sick? So, when you say nice things, release the hypnosis you placed on Seo Eun. Then I won’t even report it.”

“I don’t know what nonsense you are talking about. And if I report it, you won’t see anything good either?”

“are you okay. Because Seo Eun is not in her right mind right now. If it comes back to normal… you will understand… … .”

“I think you’re the one who’s insane.”

Even the person in charge was looking at Bang Si-hyuk with the gaze asking, “What kind of guys are there?”

‘It’s not difficult to subdue.’

It was just a pity that it ended blandly like this. Because the natural proficiency went up well only when used against real people.

“okay. I’m going to come out like that… … .”

Just in time, the guy tried to raise his fighting spirit again.

‘ah. okay.’

I wanted to try an experiment. It was how my nature was applied depending on the situation.

[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]

This time, I showed my nature towards Bang Si-hyuk, not me. The emotion to inspire was ‘fear’.

When I went to the club at the request of Seol Chae-hwa the other day, it was a method I had used against suspicious-looking guys.

[The opponent’s mental state is unstable, so the nature effect is halved.]

[The nature effect is halved because the opponent is hostile to you.]

Again it didn’t work.

‘Of course I expected this.’

In order for my nature to work properly, certain conditions were required. In particular, the psychological state of the opponent. I need to make sure that I am in a situation where I can accept the emotions I want to inspire.

[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]

Then how about this

This time, the emotion of ‘excitement’ was blown into the guy.

“What are you doing? Weren’t you trying to attack me? Or are you already tired of being fat?”

After provoking without stopping there.

[‘Demagog’ is activated.]

“aaa!!!”

The effect was clear.

Bang Shi-hyeok, whose eyes were completely overturned, screamed and rushed at me.

‘The speed is faster than before. Although it was faster.’

Whoo!

Generating a gust of wind, I lightly dodged the rushing guy. just one step. All it did was move sideways.

“Ah! You’re like a mouse!”

The guy who lost his reason was just a mad bull.

It’s like a beast that doesn’t think about the front and back and only thinks of ramming towards me. I let go of his attack, feeling like a bullfighter.

‘Let’s finish it soon… … huh?’

I was about to put an end to it because I thought it would be an annoyance if the fuss grew any further. Strange phenomena began to occur in Bang Si-hyuk.

Cheesy! Cheez!

Suddenly, a ring of dark red light appeared above the guy’s head.

‘Isn’t that a Halo phenomenon?’

It refers to a situation in which a saint loses consciousness in half due to being swallowed up by the force when he is unable to control his nature and goes berserk.

The Halo phenomenon only gets worse the longer you let it go. In the worst case, an adult who falls into the halo phenomenon may die or be crippled.

‘I just have to finish it.’

[‘Delusion Practice’ is activated.]

“hehehe!”

The moment he charged again, I evaded the attack with a gap and struck him on the back of the neck, knocking him out.

Swoop.

As soon as Bang Si-hyuk lost consciousness, the dark red ring floating on top of his head also disappeared.

“Phew. It could have been a big deal.”

“… … .”

“How are you? You weren’t hurt by him while I wasn’t looking, were you?”

I sighed and naturally spoke to Min Seo-eun.

“Should I thank you for saving me?”

“what?”

“How did you get here?”

“I had something to do with you, so I went to class and it wasn’t there. Then, by chance, I saw your back and followed you.”

“is that so.”

Something about the reaction was a bit boring.

It wasn’t that he wanted a dramatic increase in liking by saving her. It was the wish that at least a little bit of vigilance against me would fall.

‘But you seem to keep more distance than before?’

Min Seo-eun glanced at the collapsed Bang Si-hyuk and opened her mouth again.

“Did you say you had something to do with me? What is your purpose?”

“About what happened last time.”

“What are you talking about?”

“At the entrance ceremony. I thought I should apologize properly.”

It’s not what I did, but what can I do? Now, improving my relationship with Min Seo-eun was more important than my resentment.

“Are you serious?”

“okay. I did it because I wanted to reconcile.”

“Is that really all?”

Why? I got the feeling that she was questioning me for some reason.

Usually, there were many times when it wasn’t because of my mood.

“… … Are you still wary of me?”

“To be honest, yes. that’s right. I am to the point of doubting whether this situation is also the direction you intended.”

“what?”

“If you have that ability, it’s possible enough, right? Because you can brainwash your opponent.”

taste was bitter.

Hagiya, I was treated like this from the beginning of Signal. The fate of those who have the power to interfere with the opponent’s mind. It is inevitable that it will be difficult to gain the trust of others.

“You must be wrong. My nature is not so omnipotent. Besides, abusing nature is a violation of the Signal Rules.”

“But you used your nature on me.”

“that… I’m reflecting. sorry.”

I bowed my head to her.

The answer didn’t come right away. When I raised my head slightly, I saw her face, which seemed to be complicated.

“hey. I’m asking for confirmation. Are you interested in me?”

Could it be that I am not interested? Min Seo-eun is the main heroine of Psychic Age. It was only natural to be interested in a character who would play a significant role in future main episodes.

“that’s right. I wanted to get to know you. But because I was too ahead of myself, I just blindly made that mistake.”

“You won’t do that next time, will you?”

“I will never do that.”

The doubts in Min Seo-eun’s eyes finally disappear.

“great. Then I will forgive you for the last time.”

It was good until there.

Even if the timing of forgiving was faster than I expected, wouldn’t it be good to be good?

“but.”

“huh?”

“I think it is still too early to reach that kind of relationship. Even though I said I would forgive you, the shock of that time is still not completely gone.”

“Wait, what?”

It was strange. Strangely, the conversation seemed out of focus.

“First of all, we start with friendship.”

“Beginning with friendship, what is that… … .”

“If you don’t like it, I’ll make it a non-existent story.”

“No, not that! yes, i like it okay. Friendship, good!”

In any case, it was important that the relationship progressed.

After a few more conversations, I said that I would take care of Bang Shi-hyeok, who passed out, and Min Seo-eun thanked me again and left.

‘Should I call this good?’

It seemed that the atmosphere would be cheap if you said that you were mistaken now.

Min Seo-eun was the main heroine of Psychic Age.

The reason why they are so difficult to get close to is because she has a big role in the main episode. When interfering in future cases, it would be easier for Min Seo-eun and his close friend to intervene, so he repeatedly lowered his head.

‘No matter how you look at it, Min Seo-eun seemed to think that I was betting on her.’

It was an absurd illusion.

In the first place, right now I couldn’t afford to do anything else like who I like.

In a few days, the long-awaited special field practice. You will encounter ‘Glaine’, the mid-boss of the first main episode. I don’t want to waste time on things like dating when I’m not even ready for it.

‘Glaine is a monster. It’s on a different level from the idiot Mine I met at the club the other day.’

one that is

Even if it was an illusion, she tried to receive attention from the person who tried to molest her. I also thought that it was Min Seo-eun.

Isn’t it normal that after going through such a thing, you don’t want to do business with each other?

‘it’s okay. Let’s not worry too much about this part. In any case, the intended purpose was achieved.’

It was around the time that I had somehow finished all the cleaning up and returned to class after a rather late lunch.

“Mr. Kim Do-yoon.”

Pyo Yu-rim, who was sitting next to me, suddenly spoke to me.

“why?”

“Are you lonely?”

“… huh? What are you talking about?”

“I saw it before. I want you to become friends with a girl in the next class.”

It felt like being stabbed in the back of the head.

“How did you know that?”

“During lunchtime, after class ended and Mr. Kim Do-yoon left, I had something to tell you belatedly. I wanted to tell you something, so I followed you and unintentionally peeped at you.”

“… … .”

“I’m sorry if I offended you.”

I never thought the excuse I used for Min Seo-eun would come back like this.

“It’s not particularly lonely or anything like that. He and I had issues to solve because of an old affair.”

“I am… … .”

“Now, everyone, please be quiet. I will start class.”

The moment Pyo Yu-rim was about to say something, the professor entered and the murmur in the lecture hall gradually subsided.

The flow of conversation was cut off like that, and soon the class started naturally.

‘So what did he mean by what he was trying to convey to me?’

Some doubts remained, but I decided not to ask. I didn’t want to talk more and get involved unnecessarily.

Even after class ended, Pyo Yoo-rim did not try to continue the topic. As always, all he did was glance at me as if he were aware of me.

and after a few days

I was able to realize what Pyoyu-rim was trying to convey to me.

In a way, it was a catastrophe caused by a minor discrepancy.

***

It was the day of the special field practice.

early morning hours. I was running to the signal gate in my school uniform.

It was 20 minutes late from the promised departure time. My steps were faster than ever.

‘It was a mistake to try to use my nature because I couldn’t sleep.’

Usually, there were times when I felt extreme fatigue when I used a lot of mental power. The trouble was that I tried to use that to induce sleep.

Thanks to that, I slept well. The only problem was that I fell asleep without even hearing the alarm on my cell phone because I fell asleep so soundly.

“You are here.”

In front of a large bus parked in front of the main entrance. Seol Chae-hwa, who was looking at her phone with her arms folded, greeted me.

“Huh. omg. Were you waiting?”

I thought you would just go away. It’s fortunate, but at the same time, it was a question. Seol Chae-hwa I know is very strict about time commitments.

Above all, this special field practice was strongly influenced by her. It was because Seol Chae-hwa was able to go on a field trip to a good place thanks to her personal connections.

Even that bus is a shuttle bus operated by Polaris, an organization actually run by Seol Chae-hwa.

“You have to wait. I want to continue to have a good business relationship with them.”

Apparently, thanks to the previous request, she had a good impression of her.

“Sorry for coming late.”

“I’m just going to ride. We have a long way to go. If you don’t leave early, you’ll be stuck on your way to work and you’ll have to go for a while.”

I bowed my head, saying sorry to the students who were waiting inside. Most of them gave me a nasty look.

On the other hand, the inside of the bus was a premium bus like Seolchaehwa class. I didn’t want to feel any discomfort during the trip.

One unfortunate thing is that the number of seats is exactly set to the number of people who participated in this practice.

In other words, I was the last to arrive, and I was told that there was a place to sit.

“hello.”

Next to that vacant seat, of course, is the person I don’t want to get involved with the most. I was at a loss for words when I saw Pyo Yu-rim calmly greeted me.

‘no. Why are you here?’

The Pyo Yu-rim I know did not originally participate in the special field practice.
