Academy Life of a Career Hypnotist

Episode 37. Con Sentimento (2)

“Are you a violin major?”

The servant asked in a bewildered voice.

“no. This is the first time I caught it.”

“But how can you play perfectly… … .”

“It is the power of nature.”

Seol Chae-hwa was the first to grasp the situation.

I answered honestly.

“that’s right.”

“Could it be that you did some kind of self-hypnosis? If you just brainwash yourself into thinking you’re a famous violinist, you’ll be able to play like you’re possessed?”

“Unfortunately, it’s not such a poor way to use it.”

Is it because of the rapid consumption of mental power in an instant? I clutched my pounding head and fell into thought.

‘Certainly, the more various senses are required, the more mental power is consumed.’

Delusion Practice.

It implements the action that came to mind into reality, but the more complicated the action, the more mental power is consumed in proportion to it.

but.

‘This is my first performance, so my mental strength must have been exhausted.’

If you play the second time, you will consume less mental power than the first time. In short, it was the same principle as going without getting lost because you were going on a road you had already been to.

“If it’s the power of nature… . Isn’t this a cheat game? If Lady Seol-ah knew this… … .”

“If he knew, he would be angry. But what we have to do right now is not to be acknowledged by Seol-ah. Isn’t it?”

Seol Chae-hwa nodded heavily.

“What Kim Do-yoon said is right. Even if we are disappointed later, what we need to think about now is to open the door of our heart first and proceed with emergency treatment.”

She said that and looked straight in my direction.

“So, are you going to let Seol-ah’s father’s self-composed song be played with that power?”

“After listening to it, I heard that the approach was at least somewhat effective.”

It is said that even though counselors who are greater than me have come, they have not achieved great results. Would they, too, do the impossible, even if it were me?

‘It can’t be done with a standard approach.’

So did the violinists. It is said that even though great musicians came and tried it, they returned after hearing Na Seol-ah’s criticism. There’s no way I can do something that they can’t satisfy either.

but.

‘If I combine the two, I can take a method that they couldn’t try.’

Seol Chae-hwa questioned me again.

“Can you play perfectly? If Seol-ah isn’t perfect, she’ll get angry again.”

“Perfection doesn’t matter. The question is whether you can complete it. Rather, listen to the request I said earlier.”

“The video of Seol-ah’s father playing the Nebula melody.”

“I want it to be a video where you can clearly see the performance technique.”

“If you search, you will find it. Many violinists have made analysis videos to try to play the original.”

“If you say something, come out?”

“wait a minute. Could you give me your smartphone? It will be uploaded with an English title.”

With the help of Seol Chae-hwa, I came across the analysis video of my father’s performance. Unlike before, where I had to look for this and that, I was able to figure it out at once, like an analysis video this time.

of course.

“Keugh.”

“Are you okay?”

It wasn’t something I could play all at once.

‘crazy. Did you lose 50% of your mental strength just by playing for 10 seconds?’

If I hadn’t taken on the challenge after recovering my mental strength to some extent, it would have been dangerous. I would have become 10% in an instant and passed out in someone else’s house.

still.

“It’s hard to be sure right now because it’s such a short performance, but… … .”

“Compared to the violinists who have come here to play so far, I definitely felt a different feeling from the start. I don’t know if I can just finish this?”

It was the reaction of Seol Chae-hwa and servants, respectively.

‘okay. It should feel different from the start. I’m going to go ahead and follow my father’s performance without a single mistake.’

All that’s left is to raise your proficiency until you complete this 5-minute Nebula melody.

If you can finish it, it’s over… … .

‘… … I’m finally standing on the starting line for counseling.’

this request.

I really thought it wouldn’t be easy.

***

―――――――――――.

Violin practice was conducted at the Cheonseong Training Center.

This was the only place where there was no problem even if it made noise and no problem even if individuals used it freely.

‘There are many ways to increase the magic power consumption efficiency of Delusion Practice.’

The first is to get used to the movement by repeating the same action. The second is to increase knowledge related to the action I want to do.

In fact, these two were just the same process that ordinary people try to improve their skills.

‘But there is a difference that I receive compensation from Delusion Practice.’

There are people who don’t get used to it no matter how many times they repeat the same movement, and even if they learn knowledge, there are people who don’t remember how to use it in real life.

In that sense, I could say I was different. Delusion practice feels like it extracts the information stored in my brain and controls my body on its own.

It doesn’t even stop here.

[The proficiency of ‘Delusion Practice’ increases with repeated use.]

[The proficiency of ‘Delusion Practice’ increases with repeated use.]

The easiest spec increase method in the game. There was a level-up through accumulating experience points.

[The level of ‘Delusion Practice’ has been promoted to ‘Lv.4’.]

As soon as the level went up, I could immediately feel the performance. what else could there be The consumption of mental power to activate Delusion Practice has been significantly reduced.

‘That’s not all. The burden on my body for action has also decreased.’

Place the violin on your shoulder, lean your neck slightly, move the bow with your right hand and press the fingerboard with your left hand.

As I repeated this process, I had to deal with all sorts of physical wear and tear, such as stiff shoulders, stiff neck, stiff arms, and torn and burst finger prints.

―――――――――――.

About 30 seconds on the first day of violin practice. The second day was around 1 minute.

As a result of repeating the performance in this way and mastering it, by the time it was a week or so, I could play up to 4 minutes.

The song length of Nebula Melody is 4 minutes and 44 seconds. It was almost to the finish line.

‘It’s really nonsense. Even a professional violinist who has been active for decades has concluded that it is impossible to complete the original.’

It was not impossible because of lack of skills. It was simply impossible due to a structural problem with the human body.

Composer of Nebula Melody. Na Seol-ah’s father said that she was able to finish the race thanks to her gifted deformed hands.

then how did i do it

Duduk. Crunchy!

“Kuh… … .”

Again, the delusion practice embodies the imagination in my head into action.

must. and exactly.

For this purpose, my brain ignores my physical limitations, and even mobilizes magical power to forcefully implement the motion, enabling even impossible motions.

cringe Wooduk!

“ぅ!”

I put down the violin I was playing and hurriedly wrapped my fingers around it. It was because the finger, which had been moving abnormally due to the magical energy, eventually became dislocated.

‘wait for a sec. It’s not only dislocated, it looks like it’s torn a bit too. Seeing how it tingles and hurts every time he wiggles.’

It was a common accident when using delusion practice.

I let out a trembling sigh and closed my eyes tightly. The pain coming from my fingers was more painful than I thought.

‘I want to suppress the pain with the Emotion Implant, but… … .’

I didn’t write it on purpose. It might be more accurate to say that I couldn’t write it.

It is also a situation where you have to conserve the mental power that will be consumed by the Emotion implant. If I hadn’t finished the Nebula melody yet, it meant my mental strength couldn’t hold on.

“Are you okay?”

Seol Chae-hwa, who had been silently watching my performance, approached me. The green laser from the drone she launched began to heal my injured finger.

At times like these, we appreciate that the Psychic Age is a cutting-edge scientific age. Normally, I would go to the hospital, get a finger cast, and be a patient for a few weeks.

“You have a lot of work to do. Can I come over here?”

“This is a matter of a friend’s life at stake. I want to help too.”

“right. Come out, how is the sheep?”

“It is getting worse day by day. Two days ago, Halo broke again, so you don’t know how cold I was when I heard the news. Fortunately, it was suppressed in its initial state, so there were no serious problems.”

You didn’t earnestly ask me for a request because you didn’t have time for nothing.

“Wait a little longer. It’s not long before we finish.”

Seol Chae-hwa looked at me with straight eyes.

“Thank you so much for working so hard. If this goes well, even if I can’t give you a material reward, I’ll definitely repay you somehow. In the name of Seol Chae-hwa.”

“Let’s think about that after this is resolved. Now is the time to think only about reaching out to the sheep.”

and.

Three more days passed.

――!

clap clap clap.

The moment she drew the end of the Nebula melody by lowering her bow strongly, Seol Chae-hwa, who was watching from the side, applauded as usual today.

“You finally did it. The original performance, which many professional violinists said was impossible without arrangement, is finally… … .”

“no. This isn’t enough.”

I looked at the violin in my hand and let out a complicated sigh.

“yes? What do you mean? It was a perfect performance.”

“hmm… … .”

“I have been listening to a lot of musical instruments, including the violin, to build my culture. I pride myself on being as high as Na Seol-ah with just one ear to listen to. That’s what I’m assuring.”

If Seol Chae-hwa, who has a high level of knowledge in many ways, said that, it would have been a really perfect performance.

“Isn’t it really the same as Yang Na Seol-ah’s father’s performance?”

“yes. It was absolutely terrifyingly perfect. If I had closed my eyes and listened to it without knowing the situation, I would have mistakenly thought that Seol-ah’s father was playing it.”

“Then it will be difficult.”

“yes? Are you in trouble?”

How should I express this so that Seolchaehwa can understand it?

“Tomorrow, let’s visit Miss Na Seol-ah’s house. I want to tell the servants who work there about this.”

next day.

I visited Na Seol-ah’s house with Seol Chae-hwa. This was my second visit.

“Can I expect some good news today?”

I answered the employee’s anticipatory question.

“Before that, would you like to listen to my performance first?”

“ah! You can finally finish the race!”

“Listen and tell me without hesitation if you have any problems.”

At those words, Seol Chae-hwa put on a frustrated expression.

“It’s because Kim Do-yoon’s performance is perfect. I don’t know how many times I’m talking about.”

“Just watch. A servant who has worked here for a long time will probably notice.”

The atmosphere of the employee became quite serious.

“I understood. You’re in need of my help. I will do my best to listen.”

and.

―――――――――――.

The play has begun.

I played the violin as I usually practiced. Thanks to the increased proficiency, mental strength was maintained at about 30% even while the song was completely finished.

“Please tell us your evaluation.”

After the performance, I looked at the servant who was concentrating on the song with his eyes closed and asked.

“evaluation… you mean?”

The servant’s eyes are half open.

“You just have to tell me your honest impressions.”

“If we talk about the perfection of performance… … . It felt like Lady Seol-ah’s father came back alive.”

“Yes? Is that what I mean?”

The time when Seol Chae-hwa tried to sympathize with her.

The servant continued to speak over and over again.

“Because I am so much like my father… … . Excuse me, but it gave me goosebumps.”

“okay.”

“Should I say it is like a machine? If you play this performance for Lady Seol-ah… … . Knowing that my father came back alive, I ran out of the room with joy… … . I wonder if you will realize the truth and be even more disappointed.”

Right after the servant’s evaluation was over, a heavy silence hung over the room.

“ah! It’s just my personal opinion, so you don’t have to listen too much! Please think of it as nonsense because I was so worried about the young lady!”

“no. I knew that if you were a user, you would notice what was wrong with my performance. That is a very accurate point.”

My purpose is to open the door to Na Seol-ah’s heart for counseling. Something that makes her feel like having a conversation with me. It’s not something that can be solved simply by copying the performance the same way.

I opened my mouth to calm the awkward atmosphere.

“Even if it’s the same song, the feeling is different depending on who sings it. Songs contain emotions.”

When people meet and interact with people, the most influential factor is emotion.

I continued talking.

“Singers. There is a saying that we communicate with each other through song. Through the emotions conveyed in the song. I think the same goes for playing an instrument.”

“You are right.”

The servant affirmed with a serious face.

“Right now, I’m in a situation where I’m going to talk to Yang through the violin. In order to communicate, I have to express who I am through my instruments. however… … .”

“If I tried to imitate Lady Seol-ah’s father’s voice and approached her, she would be angry, saying it was blasphemy.”

“You got it right.”

I finally established the conditions for a conversation by completing the Nebula melody. Now that I can speak the language, the only thing left is to put my voice into that language.

your own voice.

in other words.

“Now, the last task left for me is how to incorporate my ‘feelings’ into this performance.”
