Chakra (2)
Just as plants absorb nutrients from the ground through their roots, we draw out our inner ideals through the connections that extend into our imagination.
That was the power of the chakra skill derived from Hoon’s blossoming, “Root of the Ideal.”
Thanks to this, he can borrow the inner landscapes of other avatars and use them as chakra nutrients whenever he wants.
Just like changing an external hard drive that stores data, you can now freely change the mental image that forms the basis of your microcosm.
This gave him a diversity that rivals that of other multi-chakra power users.
Moreover, unlike them who had no choice but to divide their potential into several parts, he was able to fully utilize all of it, so he was incomparably superior in terms of growth limits.
“···In theory, at least.”
A few hours after passing out from the aftereffects of unlocking a new ability.
Hoon, who immediately checked his abilities after coming to his senses, stroked his chin with an ambiguous expression.
Paaaa—
He lowered his gaze and looked at his body, which was bathed in a soft glow.
A pseudo-divine power that was recreated by borrowing the image of ‘faith’, the inner self of Saint Henry.
Thanks to that, my physical condition was improving quickly, but…
“I’m really disappointed with the output.”
The power was so weak that it could not even be compared to what Heinrich himself used.
‘Even at this level, I wonder where it is.’
It was clear that it fell short of expectations.
This was a separate issue from Heinrich, the embodiment of fanaticism.
If we have to point out a problem, we can say that it lies with Hoon, who operates the chakra.
‘We have sufficient resources, but we cannot fully utilize them because we lack the power to attract them.’
Simply put, the cause was a lack of skill in the main chakra, ‘communication.’
That wasn’t the only thing that needed to be addressed.
“The loss that occurs during the process of dual-expressing chakras is considerable. This part also needs to be taken care of somehow.”
By communicating through the chakras, you can bring in other images and use those images to express the chakras again.
It was natural that as the intermediate process became more complex, efficiency would decrease.
“···For the time being, I think it would be most efficient to just directly inject mental contamination into their heads like we’ve been doing so far? And thanks to communication, my ability to make mental contact has also been strengthened.”
Of course, this was simply a matter of time.
After all, Hoon had only just started to sprout chakra.
Since there are various corrections including the ‘Growth Leap’, even the somewhat lacking parts can be quickly improved.
The mental power that is most important in handling chakras is already more than enough.
After that, Hoon’s chakra demonstrations continued.
Droplets of blood seeped out between his fingernails, embroidering the air, particles of light like fireflies danced around, and the thick darkness took the shape of a sword before disappearing with the wind.
“Okay, but at least this is enough···.”
After that, I felt like I had become somewhat accustomed to handling chakras.
Hoon took a deep breath as he stood in front of the door.
This was the room where Ramyu, who had not yet come to her senses since coming over to Sabacheon, was.
‘Let’s talk, Ramyu.’
Since ancient times, nothing has been more important than conversation in maintaining a smooth relationship with a child.
Hoon, whose very purpose of birth is to be a nanny.
Having acquired the communication chakra and evolved to the next level, he confidently took a step into the room.
***
To conclude,
Attempts to contact Ramyu’s sleeping spirit ended in failure.
‘Still, half… no, maybe a quarter could be considered a success.’
Although we weren’t able to have a direct conversation, thanks to it we were able to clearly determine what the cause of the problem was.
And as he had already somewhat anticipated, the problem she was having now was not something he could do anything about.
‘The clash between the existing abilities and the newly granted abilities. The resulting tangled flow of spirit veins had to be fixed and authority had to be reset···.’
Originally, the awakening target of the Akasha System was limited to Earthlings.
Everything was tailored to them, born on an Earth where mystery did not exist and with bodies that were just like blank slates.
Since such a thing was forcibly applied to people from another world using tricks, it was not surprising that some problems arose in the process.
‘···I should have tried to verify the risk somehow, but I was too hasty. Was my vision narrow because I was in a hurry?’
The only good thing was that the condition wasn’t that serious.
I don’t know if it was originally like that or if Ramyu was special, but I could clearly feel that it was gradually getting better as time went on.
‘If this trend continues, I think I’ll wake up in about a week.’
Including the time I waited so far, it took about two weeks.
It wouldn’t be a big problem now that I was with him, but it was such a long time that it made my eyes go dark when I thought about what would have happened if Ramyu had been alone.
‘Still, it’s fortunate that it’s like this.···It’s clear that it’ll be beneficial if you just wake up.’
New unique skills and system-based status enhancements, as well as growth adjustments that allow you to become stronger more quickly.
There were some crises, but in the long run, it was full of advantages in every way.
The two weeks wasted here were less than two days on Earth, so it wasn’t a huge loss in terms of time.
And Hoon didn’t even waste that time.
“Oh my god… You’re really amazing. I heard that the speed at which you opened your chakra was unusual, and how can you already be out of the starting point in such a short time?”
It’s been a few days since I devoted myself to chakra training.
Mac Morris, a young Canadian man he met at a lodging facility for people from another world, stuck out his tongue at him.
He was a man with brown hair and a sturdy build who had been an Awakened being for seven years since he came to Sabacheon, and who had been staying here in Yun Ga for two years.
“That’s true. I was so proud of myself for opening my chakras in just two months… I guess this is true talent. I feel really deprived.”
His words were received by Su Myat Mun, a Burmese woman with five years of experience who was standing next to him.

These were two of the dozen or so Earthlings who were members of Yun Ga’s eateries.
“···If Miss Miyat, who is already at the top of the upper class and is about to reach the depths, says something like that, what will become of me, who is still at the bottom···?”
“Hey, Mr. Morris, you’re a unique skill-based ability user, right? Since aptitude varies from person to person, you can’t judge someone solely by their chakra level. If you’re just looking at pure combat ability, I’ve heard that he’s no less than any high-level practitioner.”
“Ahaha, that’s too kind of you to compliment me.”
The total number of Earthlings who were indebted to Yunga was over ten, but the number of people actually staying in this accommodation was not that many.
In the time that Hoon has been here, there have only been four people he has encountered, including those two.
‘The full support and generous treatment given to Earthlings is not free.’
It was still unrelated to Hoon, who had only recently arrived here, but it was an unspoken agreement that those who had grown to a certain extent and were able to fend for themselves would be dispatched to various parts of the world to assist in Yunga’s work at his request.
Of course, it wasn’t a bad story from the Earthling’s perspective either.
Either way, they too had to collect karma to return to Earth or become stronger, and to do that, they had to do something about it.
It was obvious that it was safer to have the support of a powerful family than to blindly head into the bare ground, so it could be seen as mutual assistance.
“···By the way, Mr. Hoon. Be careful. Anton has been acting strange lately.”
“Oh my, what on earth are you doing? People in the same situation can’t join forces, but you can’t be blinded by women.”
“Well, I can understand that feeling. It’s been several years since Anton started chasing after Miss Yoon.”
It was no coincidence that Hoon suddenly started talking to them.
Because they came to him on purpose to warn him in advance.
“···I don’t have any feelings for Ms. Yoon So-so.”
“That’s a separate issue. No, maybe that’s why I’m even more upset. When someone who has been chasing after you for years but has suddenly monopolized all the attention you couldn’t get shows that kind of attitude….”
“And wasn’t that right after you came back triumphantly from the upper level during a mission? You must have been very confident, but I saw you like that.”
It all started with Yoon So-so, who was openly flirting with Hoon.
The scene was witnessed by an Earthling named Anton, who had just finished his mission and came to see her.
A man who had been courting her and following her around for years.
‘Oh my, I feel like something is wrong. I built such an iron wall, but this is how things turned out.’
For Hoon, it was an unavoidable situation.
Who would have thought that I would end up making such a mess when I tried so hard not to make even a small mistake?
‘It seems like these two have no intention of taking the initiative either.’
The relationship between us was too shallow for that.
There was no point in getting involved in someone else’s political strife and incurring the resentment of the higher-level practitioners.
The fact that they came to give me this warning was a favor on their part.
‘Maybe it’s because of the rumors about my growth rate.’
However, no matter how fast he grew, he was still only a low-level practitioner at the time.
There are countless people in the world who were once called geniuses but ended up being mediocre, so it is not a good decision to reject those who have already reached the top just because of their potential.
‘Oh, I don’t even have enough time to practice. It’s just annoying if there’s any friction…’
Of course, they judged it that way because they did not know about Hoon’s brilliant record.
If he had known that he had already made several high-level practitioners into idiots in the process of rescuing the kidnapped Yun So-hoe, he would have tried to win his favor by taking his side somehow.
However, there was no way that these mere guests would know the full story of the incident, which was being kept secret for the sake of the family’s prestige.
‘Hey, no way. A nobleman who is a so-called gourmet would not cause an accident within the Yun family.’
But as the old sages have said over and over again:
Originally, Seolma was the one who caught people.
“Hey, you over there.”
The day after the two people’s warning.
In just one day, the incident we were worried about occurred.
“You bastard, your name is Hoon? Your name is just as unlucky as your appearance. I want to crush your arms and legs right now.”
Anton, a man from Belarus who is nearly two meters tall and has tattoos all over his body.
He blocked Hoon’s path as he was heading back to his dorm after finishing his training, and his eyes were filled with hostility as he openly showed his teeth.
“···ha.”
A sigh escaped me without me realizing it.
Yeah, to be honest… I kind of expected it.
Because there has never been a person in the world who lived only rationally.
‘I still had some hope. I didn’t expect it to turn out to be such an obvious pattern.’
Hoon looked at Jang Han, who was blocking his way.
He had been rambling on and on about something for a while now, but there was no need to listen to him.
Anyway, I just wanted to pick a fight.
“Are you ignoring me now?”
Did he notice that feeling?
Anton, his face distorted, burst into rage.
It seems that he didn’t like the fact that even though he had done all this, he was still not scared and kept an indifferent expression on his face.
But from our perspective, whatever he said was just annoying.
‘···No. Maybe this is also an opportunity.’
Suddenly, a thought crossed Hoon’s mind and he looked at Anton with strange eyes.
I heard that he had just ascended, but in any case, his opponent was a practitioner who had already reached the upper level.
Now that he has mastered the chakras himself, he might be able to realize something different from before while dealing with him.
‘Then it might help grow the chakras faster.’
No matter how much he was growing at an incredible rate and changing day by day, he was not an opponent that could be defeated with just the chakra that had just left the initial stage and entered the lower level.
But he didn’t care.
If it didn’t work out, you could just use another method.
“···Phehe. Oh, that’s a good thing. I’ll definitely correct that bad habit now.”
Anton’s demeanor, which had been twitching the corners of his mouth, changed.
At the same time, the texture of the surrounding air began to change, slowly weighing down everything in all directions.
Hoon narrowed his eyes at the force that was restricting his movements.
‘Gravity? Weight?’
Before identifying the exact factors, it was a priority to prepare countermeasures first.
A soft aura rose from Hoon’s body.
The ‘Martial Arts’ borrowed from the Heavenly Dragon Sword Master Ha Seung-hoon stretched out to the four corners of his body, resisting the weight that was weighing him down.
“Huh? This is pretty good for a lower class. Then let’s try this too···.”
“What are you doing here?”
However, the tension that had been slowly building between the two was suddenly shattered by the voice that suddenly interrupted.
As they turned their heads in the direction of the voice, a boy with a frown came into their view, striding towards them.
A familiar face to Hoon.
And Anton, who had been staying in Yunga for quite some time, was a boy I had met several times.
“Tch!”
A displeased sound came out of his mouth, clicking his tongue.
At the same time, the weight that had been weighing down the surroundings gradually dispersed.
Even though he was leaving, I couldn’t treat the young master of the Yun family carelessly as a guest.
Especially when you consider that the boy has a scary older sister who is particularly fond of him.
“You’re lucky. Let’s stop here for today. From now on, figure out your own topic and set it up. If you don’t want to die without anyone knowing.”
Anton blurted out those words and disappeared without even waiting for an answer.
Since the board was already broken, there was no use staying in this place for too long.
“I, I···! Phew! Are you okay?”
Yoon So-hui, who was about to get angry at him, let out a short sigh and looked at Hoon with concern.
Of course, he, as the person who was saved, was well aware of Hoon’s abilities, but wasn’t that power based on an extremely aggressive ability called mental wave?
First of all, it was a problem to use such a vicious ability on someone who was in the same group as him, and it was also a problem to hesitate so much and get hurt before he could do anything.
“Well, I’m fine. What’s going on here? Didn’t you say you were going to be busy with your training for a while?”
Hoon shrugged his shoulders and answered the question nonchalantly.
Even though his long-awaited opportunity to experience real combat had passed, he didn’t care.
Anyway, if I wanted that opportunity, I could have made it whenever I wanted.
“···I came here because I have a shameless request to make.”
“ask?”
“The elders of the family said to wait a little longer, but… I’ve already been involved in an incident once, so I’m anxious and can’t just wait. And there’s no one I can ask for help either….”
“Hmm, let’s hear the details first.”
Yoon So-hui hesitated at his feminine attitude and then answered.
“Phew, not long ago. Sister Lucette, who left for Hongsan Country on a mission···.”
“hmm.”
“···He is missing.”
“huh?”
The main point is cut out and thrown out.
It was the beginning of a ripple effect that shook decades of peace.
