Episode 54

Foresight (1)

“This is a skill stone.”

Seoyoon’s eyes widened slightly at those words, and Serin muttered as if she couldn’t believe it.

“I’ve heard of it. It’s a mysterious stone that grants power to its users… But I never thought that this stone statue was that thing.”

“Are you sure. “I’ve seen other skill stones, and they had the same energy as this one.”

“okay.”

She stroked the statue as if she was curious. It looks completely unexpected as a skill stone. As she said, it seemed like she was just receiving instructions from someone. I asked her what her degree was.

“Who said we could bring this to the saint?”

“Ah, this is what my lady told me. “If I bring this statue to the saint, it will be resolved.”

‘miss?’

A new character was mentioned. Jeongdo asked her again, thinking that there were quite a few people involved in this incident.

“Where is that young lady now? “Are you here by any chance?”

Serin’s face became a little gloomy at the question. However, she soon seemed to have come to her senses and answered in a slightly stiff voice.

“He is in a coma right now, so he is not here, but at his home. and… “That person is also the person I asked to save.”

“… what?”

The words were strange. A comatose person told you to bring him a statue? Oh, did you say that before you fell into a coma? I asked her what her degree was.

“Did you say this before you went into a coma?”

“You are correct.”

“Right. Then, that young lady felt that her health was getting worse and asked Seo-yoon for help.”

“no. She was very healthy until the night before she fell into a coma. “She suddenly woke up the next morning after going to bed and was unable to do so.”

“… “I don’t understand.”

The words became strange again. Now, if you think about what she said…

“So, a healthy person knew in advance that he would suddenly fall into a coma and took action? It’s not some kind of precognitive dream… ”

To some extent, I said it unconsciously because I didn’t understand Serin’s words.

“You are correct. “You can see the future.”

Serin confirmed that much in a calm tone. I was once again speechless.

“… … .”

This ridiculous feeling. I’ve felt it once before. A dwarf named Mikhail that I met in the treasure dungeon. After seeing his future, he also created a cure-all.

‘Actually, seeing the future isn’t a very special ability, is it?’

Could that be possible? Jeongdo shook his head and listened to Serin’s story again.

“The young lady is the legitimate child of the Bukdu family. This is the matriarch’s only forbidden jade leaf. The woman who inherited the blood of the North Star family has been called a ‘divine woman’ since ancient times and has the ability to see the future. “With the priestess’s foresight, the Bukdu family was able to escape many crises.”

“hmm. “If I could see the future, I would have been able to prepare for my own fall.”

“Not all futures can be seen. It’s not like you can see it there if you want to. “From what I heard, you said you could briefly see a fragment of the future.”

Right. It doesn’t seem like he has that much all-round ability. Even though Yejiro can save the family from a crisis, he cannot overcome his own crisis… It was a sad story.

“I know the story. Then, you can just leave after learning the skill, right?”

“I… that is. “I hope to move after dark if possible.”

At those words, Jeong-do looked at the clock hanging on the wall.

14:00.

There is quite a bit of time left before the sun sets.

“Isn’t one o’clock urgent? why?”

“that is… ”

She hesitated, unable to answer the question.

‘Look at this?’

It seemed like she had something to say yet. Jeongdo looked at her intently. Unspoken pressure to speak quickly. At the level of his gaze, she finally let out a sigh and spoke.

“Please keep everything from now on confidential. It’s related to the family’s wealth… ”

“don’t worry. Because my mouth is heavy. Seoyoon, she probably doesn’t say ten words a day.”

“… “I do that much.”

It was a joke meant to lighten the mood, but Serin’s next words were too heavy.

“Actually, the young lady did not collapse from illness, but was attacked.”

“… … .”

Jeong-do’s face hardened at the sudden story.

“The incident began with the young lady seeing a future. “It was a future in which the invasion of monsters would begin in earnest in the near future.”

“her.”

Jeong Do was deeply surprised by her words. The day I stayed at Hae-joon’s house. Because it was the same thing Haejun said.

‘The dungeon that appears now is just a scout from another world. And one day, the invasion of this world will begin in earnest.’

I remembered it clearly because he even said that he would like me to lend him a hand when that time comes. She never thought she would hear that story again here. The extent to which I focused on Serin’s story.

“The young lady who saw the future called a family meeting. And now he insisted that we too must break our seclusion and fight in cooperation with the employers’ association to protect our families and our country.”

“Hoo.”

Certainly, this is something that Jeongdo has personally experienced. Realize’s skills are very outstanding. I don’t know how many they have, but it’s clear that they will be a great force. The degree told her.

“That’s a good thing. Since the association is also short on manpower, they would probably welcome it. So what happened?”

“No matter what power there is, there are bound to be people who are reluctant to change. “The young lady’s claim was fiercely opposed by the elders and the elders.”

“ah… ”

I thought I knew.

Conservatives who do not want change and believe that tradition must be maintained.

And the reformists say that since times have changed, we must also change.

Wherever power was formed, there was always a struggle between such factions. The Bukdu family was now in a situation where conservatives and reformers were in sharp conflict.

“In fact, the Bukdu family is a family with great authority as the head of the family, so even if there were conflicts, they were often resolved with a single word from the head of the family. However, after the current head of the family passed away from old age about a year ago, the position of the current head of the family became vacant. The young lady was scheduled to take over and become the next head of the family soon… ”

“You fell into a coma due to a secret attack. “But if that’s the case, wouldn’t it be safe to cooperate with the association after the young lady ascends to the position of head of the family?”

It is said that the rights of the head of the family are powerful, so it would have been a breeze if he had taken the position of head of the family and proceeded with the work, but why?

“Of course, I said that too, but you said that we should hurry right away… “Maybe the invasion of this world is closer than we think?”

“Now that I think about it, when will the other world begin to invade in earnest?”

“I don’t know for sure. “Only you know the specific time.”

That’s right. There is one more reason to save the young lady. The time when the invasion of this world begins in earnest is very important information. I had to prepare for the future in advance according to that time.

‘Anyway, I figured out the situation.’

Two opposing factions. And the head of one of the factions was secretly attacked in a situation where it was clear that he would be the next head of the family. It was a very obvious story. Jeongdo asked Serin.

“I guess you guys think the culprit is someone from the old faction.”

“… “There is no evidence.”

indeed. So, they tried to move as little as possible from the attention of the elders. Wait, isn’t this a pretty dangerous situation? There was no guarantee that he and Seoyoon would be safe as the family was secretly attacking the next head of the family. Serin must have read her thoughts to that extent and suddenly got down on her knees.

“Seoyoon. request. Save the girl. If we save the young lady and cooperate with the association, we will be able to save many people. “I will protect you even if it means risking my life.”

I am?

I thought so, but I kept my mouth shut when I saw Serin in a serious mood. Seoyoon raised Serin, who was kneeling, to her feet.

“wake up. “If I make a promise, I always keep it.”

After saying that, she picked up the statue on the floor and closed her eyes.

Faaah!

Bright light emanated from the statue and filled the room. And as the light disappeared, the stone statue in Seoyoon’s hand disappeared everywhere. Seeing her appearance, Jeongdo asked her.

“how is it? Do you think you have the skills?”

“yes. I think I understand. “What skills are there and how to use them?”

It seemed like he had definitely absorbed the skills. Seo-yoon repeated the motion of clenching and opening her fist in fascination.

“… Thank you very much.”

Serin said that with an expression that looked like she was about to cry.

* * * * * *

As the sun set, Jeong Do and Seoyoon walked with Serin’s guidance.

Contrary to the idea that it would be deep in the mountains, Realize’s headquarters was surprisingly located in the middle of Seoul.

Hanok village in Seoul.

The headquarters of the Realize group Bukdu was located there.

“The front door might be conspicuous, so I’ll use the other door.”

She said that and led the two to another place. As I walked along the wall of a magnificent Hanok mansion, a small door appeared. Serin approached the place and knocked on the door regularly.

Squeak.

After a while, the door opened and a man greeted the group. Serin asked the man.

“Anything special?”

“There is nothing wrong. “No suspicious movements were found on the elder’s side either.”

“good.”

After chatting with the man for a while, she called Jeong Do and Seo Yoon.

“Please come this way. “I will go straight to where the lady is staying.”

She said that with a slightly flushed face, perhaps because the altitude was not far away.

As I followed her guidance, I felt my saliva drying up with each step, but nothing happened until I reached the end. Jeong Do, who had been mindful of the senior faction’s interference in her mind, let out a sigh of relief.

“This is the place.”

At Serin’s words, Do-do raised his head and looked at the building in front of him. It was a particularly splendid building within the magnificent mansion. As Serin approached there, the two women guarding the building opened their mouths.

“Captain! “I’ve been waiting!”

“Are these people?”

The two women showed interest in Jeong-do and Seo-yoon, but there was no time to say hello or anything. Serin’s impatience was at its peak. She almost dragged Jeong Do and Seoyoon into the building.

It’s a disaster.

As soon as I opened the door, I slightly flinched at the strong smell of herbal medicine and incense.

“Now, the young lady’s life is being sustained by the family’s magic and prescriptions.”

A woman was lying on a bed spread out in the middle of the room.

Waist-long black hair and a face as white as a sheet of paper. Wearing a one-piece dress that seemed to be an improved version of her daily hanbok, she was as motionless as a corpse.

“Seoyoon. request.”

At her words, Seoyoon stepped forward. And just as she was about to extend her hand towards the lying woman, Serin stopped Seoyoon for a moment.

“for a moment. Drink this first before treatment.”

She said that and held out a small bottle to Seo-yoon.

“… This?”

“It’s the family’s vision elixir. Temporarily inside… So, it’s a medicine that increases mana.”

It was a short explanation, but I could tell it was a valuable item.

“It is an elixir that can only be made once every 10 years. But it’s nothing compared to the young lady’s life.”

It was a very precious item. Jeongdo neatly gave up the thought of whether he could get a bottle later.

Seoyoon nodded, drank the medicine, and closed her eyes.

Faaah!

Pure white light emanated from Seoyoon’s hand and enveloped the lying woman.

All recovery.

From what I heard, it’s a skill that only France’s SS-level ‘Messiah’ can use. And the effect could be seen right away. The woman’s pale complexion began to turn red. Serin, who was watching her, clenched her fists.

however.

“Oh!”

The light emanating from Seo-yoon’s hand was getting weaker. It was a top-notch skill, and it was her first time using it, so her proficiency was low. Seoyoon bit her lip to concentrate, but her light gradually became weaker.

“no!”

Serin screamed involuntarily, but there was nothing she could do. She just screams out of frustration.

And the extent to which I was looking at it.

I quickly loaded a person from the album.

<Oh my. Are you a patient?>

Florence Nightingale.

She was the most famous nurse in history.

After loading her, he immediately used the skill.

<Medical assistance>

Nightingale’s only skill.

The effect is.

<Starting medical assistance. Amplifies the treatment effect within a certain range!>

Immediately after that notification appeared.

The white light emanating from Seo-yoon’s hand filled the room.
