Episode 252
After completing all schedules and personal training at school, I returned to the dormitory. For some reason, I feel more tired than usual.
Is it because the annoying ‘group work’ has begun?
The group members are two first-year members that I don’t know well, and the second-year members are Choi Seo-yoon and Song Seung-ah. And the third graders are Hayoung Yoon and me. This is how we became a 6-member group.
The members themselves weren’t bad.
Choi Seo-yoon doesn’t need to say anything, and Song Seung-ah is also known to have a sincere personality. She’s not sure about the two first-year students, but she says their theory grades are high.
Thanks to this, I don’t think I’ll ever have to do everything.
Now that it’s come to this, I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea for me to ask the question in return.
“… … That’s not important.”
After discussion with the group members, the research topic was decided to be ‘HA Expo Research’.
… … And according to the original, the HA Expo is treated as a pretty important event.
case.
It could be said to be an important event because it was the beginning of Han Se-yeon’s full-fledged activities and a place where some characters became close friends.
However, there is a need to pay more attention to this part because it is predicted that the demons will try to undermine Han Se-yeon’s reputation.
“But things won’t proceed as is… …
As the events were brought forward, there would have been differences from the original.
Right now, ‘Special Team Escort Mission Experience’
That it does not exist at the present time.
Because of this, there is a possibility that Lee Seo-jun will not attend the fair, unlike the original work. This was not a minor change.
In the original work, Han Se-yeon became Lee Seo-jun’s helper through this incident, so it was a big change that could change future developments.
“Hmm. I wonder what will happen.”
By the way, as each day passes, it seems like Lee Seo-jun’s interpersonal relationships are becoming poorer than in the original.
Just thinking about it right now is Yuara,
Yoon Ha-young, Eun Seol-ah, Choi Seo-yoon… … .
Now that I think about it, unlike the original, their relationship with Lee Seo-jun has become ambiguous.
Of course, that doesn’t mean we don’t have any friendship at all, but that doesn’t mean we’re just close either.
Should I just say that we are closer than just acquaintances from class?
It doesn’t feel like anything special like the original.
This change must also have been brought about by my intervention.
It seems like Yoo Ah-ra, who felt competitive with Lee Seo-jun, felt competitive with me.
Yoon Ha-young became close with Na-rang, who helped her with the lecture on the power of demon annihilation and magic.
Eunseol-ah also practically cured mystic fever, so I feel like we’ve become close.
And Choi Seo-yoon… … .
Suddenly, the things that happened with Choi Seo-yoon over the past year came to mind.
The affectionate feelings she showed me,
Actions.
I felt somewhat embarrassed.
“… … “Why did he become interested in me?”
Looking back, I don’t think there was anything that could be called an opportunity.
Even though we went through a few incidents together because of the special class, I don’t think it was enough to move her heart.
I shook my head and shook off the thought. Let’s think about what’s going on right now. There must have been something I don’t know about…
I often thought about it like that, but a part of me felt that I couldn’t ignore it forever.
That was when.
Tiring.
A message alarm rang in the smart student notebook.
I checked the sender first to see if it was the message I was waiting for.
[Lee Seo-jun]
This is the message I’ve been waiting for all this time
There was.
I checked the contents immediately.
[Kim Seon-woo: Have you decided on a free research topic? We are at the HA Expo.]
[Lee Seo-jun: Oh. We’re also doing research at the HA Expo. We can go together, okay?]
“… … “It’s happening again.”
Although it is not a background experience of an escort mission like the original, it seems that Lee Seo-jun is involved in the incident this time as well.
Time passed normally without any special events.
To some it might have felt peaceful, but to me, who knew that something would happen in the not-so-distant future, it felt like the calm before the storm.
Anyway, the midterm exam was getting closer and I had a busy time preparing for the exam.
“Ugh.”
As I wasted my time like that, there are now two days left until the HA Expo opens.
The ‘golden fruit’ of Gretel’s head was fully ripe.
It was just the right timing, as a major event was ahead.
And now I’m wondering how I can get the fruit without telling Retel.
Gretel is working hard to solve the puzzle on the floor, not even knowing that I am aiming for the fruit behind her.
There’s no need to drag this out unnecessarily.
There is a saying that goes, “Even a bull’s horn should be pulled out in one go.”
I slowly walked up behind Gretel.
I was planning to finish the job in one go while Gretel was letting her guard down.
There is also something prepared in case Gretel gets upset, so there is no need to worry.

So I slowly approached and picked Gretel’s berries.
“Ugh!”
Gretel made a noise as if she felt pain.
I screamed. Gretel’s voice cracked from how surprised she was.
Then he turned to look at me, and his big eyes became watery just like before.
But I didn’t miss the opportunity and took out the chicken I had hidden in subspace.
Gretel’s eyes fluttered wide as a box of chicken suddenly appeared in front of her, emitting a sweet aroma.
“Do you like Gretel chicken? I bought it for you to eat. Let’s eat it while it’s hot.”
“.… “Mites?”
Gretel blinked. The tears had long since dried up.
Then he looks back and forth between me and the chicken box.
I’m conflicted about whether to throw a tantrum or eat the chicken happily.
But I know from previous experience.
For Gretel, picking berries was like having a child’s teeth pulled or getting a shot.
It’s scary before you get hit, but once you get hit, it’s clear that it’s nothing special.
“Oh, and I bought the one with wings and all, just like Gretel likes. She hates puffy hair.”
Gretel blinked at those words and then opened the chicken box.
I also can’t stand chicken.
I smiled inwardly with satisfaction because it seemed like my plan had gone well.
“bon appetit.”
After finishing the negotiations, I stepped back for a moment.
I immediately checked the golden fruit
[Mysterious Demon Tree Fruit (S)]
Category: Elixir
Description: When taken, all abilities increase by up to 3%. (The higher the existing ability, the lower the increase rate.)
Hidden potential personalities are unlocked.
what.”
I was momentarily surprised when I saw the effects of the newly acquired Demon Tree fruit.
Is it because Gretel consumed thousand-year-old ginseng? The fruit created this time had a more special effect than before.
So, it is said that hidden potential individuality can be revealed.
Potential personality.
It was a special power, different from magic, that very few humans had innately.
It can be said to be similar to a kind of supernatural power, and a law professor at the Wizard’s Academy had a latent personality called ‘drowsiness-inducing’.
Of course, there are strict conditions for the activation of latent individuality.
In the case of law professors, there was a condition that they had to ‘teach their knowledge to someone else.’
“… … I can get this too.”
Until now, I thought that latent individuality was a power that only people were born with, but this is a bit surprising.
What abilities will you gain?
While thinking to myself, I put some fruit in my mouth.
Mumbling.
“O ugh”
— ◎ .
The sweet juice lingered in my mouth.
The taste wasn’t bad. There’s no fruit to compare it to, but if I had to pick one, it was a bit similar to a pear.
And after a while.
Exciting!
“……laugh?”
Just like when I ingested the elixir in the past, a hot energy swirled within my body.
But unlike before, I didn’t feel distressed or lose my mind.
It’s probably because my existing abilities have increased significantly compared to before.
[The effectiveness of the elixir decreases as the existing ability value increases.]
［All abilities increase by 1.7%.］
［Additional abilities are gained through the effect of the adaptive characteristic, ‘weakness amplification.’］
［I discovered the ‘potential personality’ that was sleeping inside your body.］
［Remaining period until full opening: 7 days］
“… … No, you don’t even tell me what kind of personality it is.”
You can’t even use it at the expo that will be held in 7 days or 2 days.
Of course, it is unfortunate that the latent personality is an ability that is highly unlikely to be of any help in battle.
“… … Still, I took an S-grade elixir and maintained my sanity.”
Although my growth rate has slowed down, I guess this is also evidence that I have grown to some extent.
Thinking so positively, I sat in a corner
He approached Gretel, who was eating chicken, looking upset.
“Gretel, is it delicious?”
Gretel glanced at me, then, as if her anger had subsided a little, held out a chicken wing.
Two more days passed and it was Saturday. Finally, the long-awaited HA
The day of the fair came.
The location where the exhibition is held is Jeju Island.
Hansung Hotel located there.
This event, which will be held for two days and one night, is expected to attract numerous celebrities from all over the world, as Han Se-yeon paid special attention to.
“This is your VIP invitation to the expo.”
Today’s meeting place, the main gate of the Wizard Academy.
Choi Seo-yoon took out six golden tickets from her bag.
The word HA was written in large letters on the outside of the ticket.
“and. oh my god! “Did you really save it?”
Yoon Ha-young looked surprised when she saw the ticket. Choi Seo-yoon smiled brightly.
Then he nodded.
“Yes, there were some invitations sent to my father.”
“You’re definitely from a prestigious family, but what can you do if you’re a VIP?”
“hmm. I heard that all meals and facilities are free, and you can even get the best hotel room. You can also sit in the best seat when watching.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up at those words, including Yoon Ha-young.
Everyone looked excited at the thought of spending two days and one night in Jeju Island. It seemed like the group assignments were already behind us.
It’s before.
… … Tsk.
I’m the only one who’s serious.
At that time, Seoyoon Choi looked at me and spoke carefully.
“Senior, why do you have such a serious expression on your face?”
As I kept a blank expression the whole time, Seo-yoon Choi playfully laughed and poked my waist.
“No, I was just thinking about something else for a moment. Oh, I’m looking forward to today.”
Choi Seo-yoon smiled brightly, relieved by my words.
“Right? “I have planned the full course in advance, so you can just trust me and follow me.”
Meanwhile, in front of the Jeju Island Hanseong Hotel, where the expo is held.
A luxury car driving down the road skidded to a stop in front of the hotel.
And a moment later, the car door opens and a man in a smart black suit appears.
A man and a red-haired woman in a security uniform got off.
As the two got off, the reporters around them looked surprised and started taking pictures.
“… … He too. “I wonder how much work is put into making just one presentation.”
The man who looked up at the hotel, Han Se-jin, muttered in a displeased voice.
The red-haired woman standing next to him, Ellin, was wary of her surroundings with an expressionless face. But inside she felt uneasy.
Her instincts are burning in this hotel
It was because I sensed that something good was happening.
At that moment, a handsome man in his 30s whose face I didn’t recognize walked out of the hotel.
The man looked at Han Se-jin and spoke to her as if he knew her.
“Aren’t you Vice President Han Se-jin?”
At the appearance of the new man, several reporters looked surprised again and started taking pictures of the man.
—Chairman of PL Group.
—Hey, hey. Take the picture quickly.
“haha. Chairman Jeong Tae-won. long time no see.”
As Han Se-jin and the man shook hands, the flash turned on even louder.
The two smiled and had a light conversation in front of the camera.
The conversation itself was ordinary. Have you eaten? How are you? etc.
But Ellin felt a deep sense of foreboding and fear as she looked at the man called Jeong Tae-won.
The special ability to detect magical energy flowing in the blood of the ‘Rune Clan’ continued to warn her.
Run away. The author said it was dangerous.
Even though she was trembling with fear, Elin was able to deduce the identity of the being before her eyes.
Who could have such a terrible energy in a human body? … .
As far as she knew, there was only one.
… … The master of all mines.
King of mines.
The extra who returned becomes a genius
