Academy Life of a Career Hypnotist

Episode 4. signal (3)

“… … .”

time is a while back. It goes back to the time when the morning of the second day of admission to Signal dawned.

Pyo Yu-rim opened his eyes as usual.

When she woke up, the first thing she checked was the information recorded on the tablet. It was like never forgetting how to breathe for her. In other words, it was the realm of instinct.

‘I’m a student who entered Signal. You can take classes as usual… … .’

While reading for a while. He put down the tablet he had been holding up.

As I said before, most of her memories should have been gone when she woke up.

I should have.

“ah?”

A stupid voice came out.

Why?

Just what happened the other day. The memory of Doyoon Kim fighting someone in the classroom came to mind.

I remembered someone for the first time. At that fact, Pyoyu-rim’s stopped heart started beating. The drowsiness that remained was gone in an instant, and the dry eyes returned to life.

‘I don’t care what the reason is.’

can remember

There is someone who can remember.

Someone who proves that yesterday’s me and today’s me are connected has appeared.

Pyo Yu-rim hurriedly got up from the bed.

‘There must be something to that person.’

Please, I hope this miraculous phenomenon is not a coincidence. The girl began preparing for school, earnestly wishing.

***

Regular classes are over.

[Catholic Training Ground]

I didn’t go straight back to the dormitory, but stopped by here. As it is written on the signboard, it was a place used by adults to train their nature.

Over technology that I often saw in class. It was possible to use the augmented reality function, which was full of liveliness, here as well.

‘I need to get used to my nature a little more.’

Seruk.

Before entering this place, I picked up the cheap dagger I had received from the scabbard. The length of the sword was approximately 30 cm.

Psychic Age is dominated by psychic people called adults. Civilians also needed weapons to defend themselves. As a result, it was a world where possession of various swords and firearms was permitted.

‘In my mind, I wanted to use the most comfortable gun… … .’

I just said it was an acceptable world. The key was that the procedure to be followed for possession of a firearm was very difficult. Once I applied, I didn’t know when I would get approval.

So, I thought about what kind of weapon I could use temporarily until then. I chose a dagger that was easy to carry.

“Whoa.”

In the middle of making up my mind for full-scale training. I suddenly wondered why Pyo Yu-rim was interested in me.

There was a corner where I guessed.

What I heard from Gwangjun Tak during class. It reminded me of a story about adults with similar natures becoming tolerant of each other’s abilities.

If the criterion of resistance is not only direct. ‘Memories of me’ was also a story that had a lot of potential if it was to develop tolerance.

‘What if Pyoyurim really remembers me?’

I took a deep breath and cleared my thoughts. First of all, I decided to focus on the part in front of my eyes.

This training ground had a special function. I was thinking of using it from now on.

[Creates a virtual object.]

[Summon 1 ‘Low Level Monster :: Goblian’.]

[Adjust the setting of the summoned object to ‘actual’ form.]

Monster Room.

The reason I visited the training ground today was to face them.

“Kieack!”

Goblian.

It’s just a slightly different name, but it looks like the goblin everyone knows.

‘I felt it during class, but it’s lively. It looks real.’

Goblin’s cries echoed right in front of me. I haven’t even started yet, but it feels like my heart is freezing.

Ordinary people tremble in fear just from the ferocious barking of a fierce dog. What about Goblians? It is twice as big as the fierce dog we know and even stands on two legs.

It was natural to be afraid. Normally, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything because of his pressure.

[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]

I’ve been acting natural on myself. What I wanted to instill was an emotion called ‘courage’.

‘oh?’

At that moment, the pressure he felt from the goblians completely disappeared as if it never happened. A feeling of exhilaration overshadowed the fear.

“Kreur.”

Now, it just felt like a Shih Tzu or Maltese growling.

[Current Sanity: 92%]

I floated the remaining mental power in the form of a spear at the bottom of my right visual field.

‘It consumes less mental power than mental acceleration.’

The goblin roars again and lunges at me. It was as if they were openly declaring that they would attack from now on.

“Suck!”

The guy’s claws swing in a curved shape. I turned my body to the side and calmly dodged it. Since I didn’t feel fear, I was able to avoid it without using Mental Acceleration.

‘Of course, this goblin’s attack may be monotonous.’

While avoiding attacks here and there, I suddenly remembered that this training ground also had a pain perception function implemented.

The pain is not transmitted as it is, but it can be adjusted from a minimum of 10% to a maximum of 33%.

I raised the nociception level to 33% without hesitation.

and.

“Kieek!”

When his fingernails didn’t work, he deliberately gave one of his arms to the goblian who was trying to bite him.

“Kuk!”

Moaning bursts out. Originally, it was supposed to be a third of pain, but the pain was no joke.

Even though I know that it is an illusion created by holograms, even though I know that this pain is also a false pain created by programming.

When people are flustered, their vision narrows and their thoughts become simple.

[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]

I was different. In situations related to the spirit, it has the same power as foul play.

He used his natural instincts to inspire himself once again. Thanks to that, the surprised heart was able to calm down to some extent.

“Ugh.”

Unfortunately, the pain wasn’t like that. Unlike emotions, pain seemed to require a more stimulating prescription.

[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]

This time, the feeling of excitement was hammered into my brain.

When people get extremely excited, they don’t even realize that they are hurt. As if to prove this, as my head overheated with excitement, the sense of pain slowly began to fade.

“Look around you bastard!”

“Keeng!”

I punched the goblian in the face with my other arm.

The one who was beaten immediately turned to dust and disappeared.

“Whoa. Whoa.”

Is it the aftermath of excitement? My heart was beating wildly. I took a deep breath and waited for my body to cool down.

[The proficiency of ‘Emotion Implant’ has increased.]

The vital chip sensitively checks the changes in my body and quantifies them. The skill level increase message that appeared in front of him was part of that.

‘I thought it would be like that when playing a game… … .’

Coming to reality like this, I realize how convenient the vital chip is.

You can see with your own eyes that your skills and talents are growing. That fact alone can motivate a person beyond anything else.

You will have the driving force to work hard without giving up, and you will have the will to move forward in your heart.

‘good! Let’s drive this momentum and train in more diverse situations.’

even at this time.

My confidence was at its peak.

“Huh. omg!”

the next morning.

That was until I realized the current point of my specs.

Students who choose the dealer position have one obligation. every morning. It was to go out to the playground at the time of dawn and do a morning canter.

“Huh. Cough Cough!”

The one who has obtained the power of nature.

These so-called adults basically had better physical specifications than ordinary people. It was because he knew that fact that he dared to hit the vital point during the Dalian match with Lim Dae-hyeok the other day.

“Hoo-wook. Woo-wook.”

then.

“Student Doyoon Kim, don’t stop. At least take a quick walk to get your breath back. The more you stop, the harder it is to run. Got it?”

what am i

Are you really an adult on the same line as them? Even students with smaller physiques than me don’t show a single sign of exhaustion while running like that.

“Coke! Cough Cough!”

The teacher, who had been keeping pace with me for a while, seemed to give up at the end, and headed towards the procession of students who were leading the way.

‘I was never a bad person… … .’

The gap of one and a half laps with the students ahead of them began to widen before they knew it.

They differed in their running speed.

It wasn’t the light leap that ordinary people think of. It was a speed close to the level of sprinting. I didn’t have the confidence to keep up with those steps and navigate this vast playground.

‘In the first place, what kind of idiot’s playground is ignorantly wide enough to be used as an airplane runway?’

gritted it

Even if he complains, he never gives up.

I was determined to finish the race unconditionally. Coincidentally, there was an almighty solution to a problem that required mental strength.

[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]

[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]

Around the time the front of the sweatshirt was soaked with sweat. I finally managed to complete three laps. I could see the students who had gone ahead had already arrived a long time ago and were waiting.

Regardless of what my surroundings were, I stretched out and lay down on the playground. The feeling of exhaustion was no joke.

“Now, the number of wheels that must be rotated is the end here.”

The teacher checked the time for a moment and continued.

“And student Doyoon Kim.”

“yes?”

“Don’t be too heartbroken. Not all adults have good stamina. There are individual differences, so don’t compare yourself with others and focus on becoming better than you are now.”

It was really comforting advice that brought me to tears.

‘I really tried to come, but… … .’

All they did was lightly wipe the sweat from their foreheads. It’s like I took a shower all by myself. Some students, seeing me like that, frowned and widened their distance.

I didn’t really care about that.

only.

‘Why can’t I see the meteor?’

The protagonist of Psychic Age, Yuseong, obviously chose the dealer position in the original work. If so, I should have attended this morning’s exercise, but for some reason I didn’t see it.

“huh?”

It was around the time when the anxiety that I had vaguely harbored in my heart slowly came up. As I laid down and looked up at the sky, a female student’s face popped out of my field of vision.

“Here you go.”

It was a drifting forest.

In her outstretched hand was a towel. I was stunned for a moment at the sudden favor, but soon I came to my senses and said.

“I do not need.”

“… … .”

Even though it is not necessary, they are still holding out the towel.

“… … I’ll wash it clean and return it.”

at last.

I decided not to refuse the favor.

Pyo Yoo-rim was an unstable character.

As the cause of degrading as a boss is caused by emotional anxiety, I thought that if I treated it too stimulatingly, it would rather go wrong.

“… … .”

Even after she handed me the towel, she stood next to me for a while.

“why. Anything more to say?”

“Are you offended by my polite words the other day?”

“… I don’t care.”

“Shall I speak comfortably from now on?”

“You don’t care? Do what you like.”

As he continued to be harsh, Pyo Yu-rim lowered his gaze. Watching the corners of my eyes droop, I think I’m doing something wrong. I struggled to turn my head.

‘If I ignore it, I’ll give up someday.’

However, it didn’t take long to realize that it was a mistake.

next day. the next day too.

Far from decreasing, the frequency with which Pyoyu-rim spoke to me began to increase.

It’s lunch time right now.

I was eating at the kitchen. The peculiarity was that there was no one around me, as if there was an invisible barrier around me.

There aren’t that many empty seats though. It seemed that he intentionally did not sit in the seats around me. Rumors about me seemed to have spread to other classes as well as other grades.

drooling.

At that time, a female student approached and sat down next to me, in front of me, where no one wanted to be close.

“Hey, look over there. That hypnotic love, Pyo Yu-rim.”

“I guess that rumor was right. That man hypnotized Pyo Yu-rim and became close with him.”

“You know that too? My friend has a dealer position, and during a morning workout, Pyo Yu-rim showed up and said that he wiped away his sweat.”

“oh. really? So is it just true? Why are you trying to be friends with a man with such a bad mood because you miss Pyo Yu-rim?”

Who wiped away the sweat? Rumors like this are scary.

But what can I do? Judging by the heartache alone, it was quite plausible.

The person who showed an attitude of not interested in anyone is showing favor to only one person. It is even rumored that one of them has hypnotic powers.

Obviously, if I were in someone else’s position, I would have been suspicious.

“… … .”

In my mind, I wanted to leave after eating something. The reason I couldn’t do that was because I was a strict person. It was because he was remembering the favor of the towel he had been handed over in the morning.

‘Am I just going to stare again this time?’

I don’t even eat the rationed food plate, as if it was an excuse to sit near me. He is just looking at me with his characteristic insipid eyes.

Until the moment I emptied the tray and got up first, Pyo Yu-rim just stared at me as I walked away.

‘What kind of scheme did he show such interest in me like this?’

The moment I was about to leave the kitchen, feeling complicated. Coincidentally, I ran into a familiar face.

“ah.”

One of the three main heroines of Psychic Age. Originally, it was Yooseong’s childhood friend, Min Seo-eun.

“… … !”

The moment their gazes met, she was startled and tried to get out of the seat with quick steps. It was as if he was running away while watching me.

‘Could Min Seo-eun listen to my rumors and avoid it?’

No, it can’t be.

The character Min Seo-eun I know is not a person who judges others only by hearing rumors. there’s something i don’t know

“Hey, wait!”

“Please don’t talk to me!”

When I tried to call him out, Min Seo-eun answered in a startling voice.

Why do you have such an attitude? The moment I was about to ask you if you did something like that.

“I don’t want to grow my job. Because I want to spend my school life quietly. You want to go well with that too, don’t you?”

“what? what does that mean… … .”

“Then please stop pretending to know me from now on. I’ll think of it as ‘something that never happened’ and move on. But if you’re going to approach me just one more time, then you’d better be prepared.”

She said that with a face that seemed to be trying to hide her fear, and quickly left the place.

‘What the hell… … ?’

Pyo Yu-rim and Min Seo-eun are the same.

None of them could understand English.
