Janet -2-

“hi!”

Baek So-rin greeted cheerfully.

Blue eyes looked straight at Baek So-rin.

“who are you?”

“Baek So-rin! What is your name?”

Baek So-rin asked with a bright smile.

Janet stared at Baek So-rin for a long time, then looked around.

He stares at me as I sit still, then checks the furniture in the room one by one before turning his gaze outside.

Outside, the sun is shining brightly.

The poppy fields of old are no more.

Instead, cosmos flowers were planted, and the colorful cosmos flowers danced swaying in the breeze.

“······Are you my master, Sister?”

A sudden question.

Baek So-rin was flustered and asked back as if she was broken.

“Huh? What? What did you say?”

“Did your sister buy me?”

“Huh?”

A rebuttal that misses the focus of a very random question.

I had a rough idea of what was going on.

The character card says, “He suffered from childhood,” but it’s still possible to deduce.

You wouldn’t be welcome anywhere.

To family or friends.

Given the location where they were found, it is likely they were trafficked.

It’s not forced human trafficking, most likely by family.

“We didn’t buy it. We found it trapped underground and saved it.”

Janet looks at me as I speak in a low voice.

“Then you are my master?”

Why is Baek So-rin the older sister and I the older uncle?

In the original world, I would appear like that, but Kim Jeon Sa is in his early 20s.

I shook my head from side to side.

“Call me teacher, not master.”

“teacher?”

“Do you know about your superpower?”

Superpowers.

Janet reacted sensitively to that word.

The face becomes distorted and then suddenly a light bursts out.

“Mom!”

Baek So-rin screams in surprise.

As luck would have it, the light was flying towards me.

As expected, it’s out of control.

visor!

I pulled out my silent sword and struck the light.

A clean kick followed by a strike.

The light’s trajectory changed and it shot up to the ceiling.

Is it because Janet has new magical powers?

The ceiling caved in and dust fell down.

Baek So-rin also draws his sword.

“You! Are you trying to kill the teacher?”

Baek So-rin, who seemed to think that I was being attacked, was emitting a murderous aura.

Janet shook her head quietly.

“I didn’t mean to do that.”

“then?”

“I can’t control it.”

“You can’t control it? Why?”

“I don’t know. I’ve been like that since I was little. But it’s strange. After being fired once, I lost all my strength and passed out.”

Then it would have gotten completely out of control and fired off at will.

Janet looked at her hands as if she found it curious.

It looks like the innate ability will not be fired anymore.

It seemed like the magic power wasn’t completely ineffective.

It pops up sometimes, but it can’t be helped.

As I put my sword away, Baek So-rin also put his sword away.

Still a confused expression.

“What is your name, little lady?”

“Janet, it’s Janet.”

“I see you’re not from our country. So that’s why you said that wasn’t you just now?”

“Yes. I don’t know why I’m like this either. Mom and Dad took me to the temple and the magic tower, but they couldn’t control me. One magic tower tried to catch me, and I barely managed to escape.”

When I mentioned my parents, Janet’s face darkened noticeably.

Baek So-rin didn’t seem to notice that.

“Are your parents here? Then shouldn’t you go home?”

“Not now.”

“huh?”

“He died while escaping from the magic tower.”

“Uh······ Sorry.”

Baek So-rin made an embarrassed expression.

I scolded her with my eyes and then looked at Janet.

“You said your name was Janet. Do you have a place to go? If you have a place to go, I’ll send you back.”

“I don’t know where to go back to.”

“Why don’t you know?”

“that······”

Janet opens her tiny mouth.

If your parents had died, you would have been left in the care of your relatives.

Judging by his appearance, he probably didn’t go to an orphanage.

Perhaps that relative sold Janet to Ko Jun-beom.

Janet herself knows that fact.

“If you have nowhere to go, you can stay here.”

“Here?”

Janet looked around.

A look that asks, “Where is this?”

An attitude of caution as well.

How should I persuade him?

While I was thinking about it, Baek So-rin came out.

“Hey, teacher. This place is a bit like that. How can you keep a young child, especially a girl, here? You’ll get in big trouble.”

“That’s true, though.”

“No, why don’t you live with me? I live alone. I used to live with my parents, but after they passed away, I live alone in a big house, so sometimes I get scared. I think I won’t be scared at night if you’re here.”

“Your sister’s house?”

“Yeah. I think I’ll be staying in a boarding house.”

“What if that thing flies to you like that?”

“He thinks I’m a scarecrow. Even if I get hit with something like that, it doesn’t hurt at all!”

Baek So-rin swung her sword into the air.

The flash of light leaves a trace.

[Traditional] trait.

It looks like he worked hard, seeing as he not only reached level 3 but also gained an attack trait.

Janet stared at the sword light as if possessed.

“superman······”

“Didn’t you know? I’m a superhuman. I’m a level 3 superhuman who’s really good at it. Even if you shoot a bunch of light at me, I can block it all!”

You’re showing off in front of your juniors.

Every time I gave him a bath, he would come out looking like a night owl.

“Would it be okay if I became a superhuman?”

“Of course!”

Baek So-rin looks back at me.

I nodded my head vigorously too.

“It is possible if you become a superhuman and awaken powers that match your superpowers. Do you want to become a superhuman?”

“yes······”

“What’s the price?”

“that is······”

Janet mumbles.

He looked at me once, then at Baek So-rin once, and tried to say something, but swallowed it all down.

Feeling bewildered and wary of an obviously friendly atmosphere directed at oneself.

“Janet. You know that if you become a superhuman, you will become a very strong superhuman, right?”

“I know that······.”

“My conditions are simple. It’s postpaid. You can pay me back later when you become a high-level superhuman of level 5 or higher. Here, Sorin also took lessons from me under the same conditions and became a superhuman. What do you think?”

“How can I pay you back? Money?”

“Money isn’t enough. I’ll get something more valuable than money. Let’s discuss that later.”

Janet stared at me.

“You really don’t need to give it to me right now, do you?”

“That’s what I said.”

“Can I refuse later?”

“If you feel like it will cause you physical or mental harm, then you can refuse. I have no intention of asking for that.”

“Then······ Okay.”

It’s hard to collect even one SSR character.

Baek So-rin smiled brightly next to me.

“Welcome! Let’s get along well from now on!”

“Yes······ Sister.”

Janet bowed her head politely.

Flash!

At that action, a flash of light exploded and flew towards Baek So-rin.

“Ugh!”

Baek So-rin barely avoided it.

Truly animal-like movements.

He glanced at the window frame broken by light, then looked at Janet with an indescribable expression.

“You really are a kid that I can’t let my guard down.”

“I’m sorry. It wasn’t me.”

“Ugh. I know. Teacher, how are you going to teach him? If you do it the Spartan way like you did to me, it’ll be a big problem.”

“I can’t do it like that.”

Janet really could die.

Because the innate energy sucked up all the magic and nutrients, the body could not develop properly.

I had to equip the magic soul as quickly as possible.

‘How to awaken it?’

There are several ways to awaken the magic soul.

The first and most commonly used method is special quests and the second is trait combinations.

Both of them cannot be used on Janet.

The first method is too risky, and the second method is impossible because the innate ability has already taken up one of the characteristic slots.

In the end, we have to use the third method.

transmission.

A way for me to learn swordsmanship from Baek So-rin and Janet, while also passing on my traits in return.

The problem is that I don’t have the Magic Soul trait right now.

‘I need a diamond.’

There are exactly three left.

Last time, I received eight from Director Kang of the Hunters’ Association and completed the Trinity build, and these are the remaining diamonds.

But can these three things bring about the concentration of the belt’s magic power?

In my opinion, it was not enough.

Equipped with insight and intuition, I felt like I needed two or three more.

I received it as a gift from Seo Woo Jin and used it for quite some time, but it’s still like that.

[Have you received any items?]

I sent a text message to the Shinwon Market junk dealer and got a disappointing response.

[I’m sorry. Since it’s such a precious item… Should I check out the event at least once? How about participating in the Unlimited Battle of the Deepest Zone?]

[Is the regular game difficult?]

[Because Superman’s debut had such a big impact, it’s hard to find a challenger.]

There’s nothing I can do.

Let’s start by teaching something else, like chicken instead of pheasant.

“I will teach you two abilities.”

He sat Janet down and spoke.

“You have two problems. You are too weak physically and magically.”

“Physical, magical······”

“The name of your superpower is innate strength. Do you know what strength is?”

“Teacher! It’s me!”

Baek So-rin raised her hand as if answering a quiz.

“Isn’t it health? Health?”

“Similar. When the weaknesses are secured and the level is high, Janet will use a stronger attack than the Sword Master.”

“Really? Isn’t that a scam?”

“It’s a scam, just like the Thousand-Year-Old Testament.”

“Hehehe.”

Baek So-rin smiled and Janet looked puzzled.

Because Janet doesn’t know that Baek So-rin is a thousand-year-old saint.

‘In terms of attack power alone, Janet was the strongest among the three generals.’

There is only one drawback.

The starting trait is that there is no movement skill.

However, rather than using a mobility device, a taunt or shout type characteristic such as a lion’s roar or a full-body roar would be more suitable.

Because Janet is a tank.

It was also equipped with a fearsome attack aircraft.

“Let’s start with physical abilities first. That’s the right order. If your body is weak and your magical power is excessive, side effects such as magical power overload, magical power addiction, and heart attack can occur.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Teacher. Teacher. What about me?”

Baek So-rin looks at me with a face that asks if there’s anything wrong.

This kid can do it on his own, so why do I need to teach him anything?

······Now that I think about it, there is.

[Cheonsalseong][Indomitable][Runaway Locomotive]

[near death][catastrophic attack]

[Mars Gladiator’s Law] should be added to that empty space.

But it doesn’t necessarily have to be empty.

You need to be at least level 5 to do personal quests, so it would be good to have at least one trait that you can use before that.

If possible, something that will help you acquire the Mars gladiator technique.

“Okay. I’ll teach you swordsmanship.”

“Swordsmanship? Didn’t you say that your swordsmanship wasn’t that great, teacher?”

“I learned something too.”

“Wow! Well, I saw you a little while ago and you really did seem different.”

I shrugged my shoulders and changed the trait.

[Giant’s Power][Diamond Body][Immortal]

[Sword Expert][Swordmanship][Insight]

The game allowed for the creation of priest-student relationships between characters.

Then, choose the trait you want to pass on and have them move around in the same party, and the trait will be passed on naturally over time.

It was common to use diamonds because it took quite a long time.

Unfortunately, that’s not possible for either of them.

What should I do when I don’t even have enough diamonds to use right now?

‘Setting up priest relationships, specifying characteristics······ Ah, it’s not working.’

It seems that my ability only applies to trait conversion.

Even when I thought about setting up a priest-disciple relationship by looking at the two, or thinking about passing on traits, I didn’t get any feeling.

Just like the day I first fell into this world, I shouted out the status window.

There’s nothing I can do.

For the time being, we have no choice but to act together with these two.

“I, Janet, will teach you the abilities of the Diamond Body and the Magic Soul.”

“Vajra body, magical soul······”

“The Diamond Body makes the body and mind as hard as a diamond. It allows you to withstand any external attack. Be it physical, magical, or mental.”

Maybe that’s exactly what Janet wanted.

Janet in the game was mentally scarred and subjected to biological experiments due to her congenital abnormality.

The explanation was given to Janet, and Baek So-rin’s eyes lit up as she listened.

“I want to learn that too!”

“Well, do you think it matches your abilities? If you learn this, it will slow you down?”

Because of the castle characteristics included in the Geumgang body.

So Janet didn’t fit in with the mobile device.

me?

I can just switch traits.

“Uh······ That, that’s right.”

Baek So-rin is convinced with a fierce expression.

Janet almost laughed, but managed to keep her expression straight.

“What should I do?”

“It’s exercise. It won’t be easy.”

“I am prepared.”

Flash!

Another flash of light occurred.

When I waved my hand and blasted light, Baek So-rin made a strange expression that seemed like she was crying or laughing.

“Uh······ How about we stay here until things calm down? I’ll stay with Janet!”

“That’s right. If you go to my house, it’ll all be destroyed.”

“sorry······”

“It’s not like you wanted to do it, so what?”

It looks like I’ll have to stay at the Geonwoobong facility for the time being.

Not bad.

This is a good opportunity to refine your existing traits or unlock new ones.

I happen to have the materials, too. They were a gift from a dismantling expert.

“Then let’s eat.”

“Rice?”

“A strong body is essential to learn the Diamond Body. Look at him. Doesn’t he look like he hasn’t even eaten properly?”

“That’s definitely true.”

Janet is very thin and short for her age.

Considering that she is a woman in the game, but is 180cm tall, she needs to grow taller first.

Baek So-rin fed me a little bit these past few days, but it was only a few spoonfuls of porridge.

The class began with enjoying a sumptuous meal together.

“You, there are too many······”

“Eat more. You have to eat a lot to grow taller. Right, teacher?”

“That’s right. Feed him as much as you can. Just make sure he doesn’t vomit.”

“Okay, okay.”

“I’m full······”

“ah-“

“ah-“

Baek So-rin played the role of assistant very well.

In martial arts terms, should I say that it’s the role of a private?

It seemed like Janet also liked Baek So-rin.

The big thing was that he was a superhuman.

Even if he unknowingly spread his innate energy, Baek So-rin somehow managed to dodge and block it.

Sometimes I would get hit defenseless and just laugh it off.

Similar days continued.

Every single day of eating, training and teaching.

Janet was growing up quickly.

Baek So-rin’s swordsmanship was not very successful, but Janet’s diamond body took shape day by day.

If you look at it with insight, you can see at least [ㄱ], even if it is not [Diamond].

The starting characteristics are different, after all.

A magic that allows SSR-grade characters to acquire characteristics like Kim Jeon Sa.

“Ugh!”

“Teacher, are you okay?”

“It’s okay.”

I vomited blood once and wiped my mouth.

I didn’t just play while teaching them both.

I drank the vial I got from the demolition expert in several sips.

Thus, the [Disease Resistance] trait is acquired.

Next, I combined the six characteristics of [Contamination Resistance], [Curse Resistance], [Poison Resistance], [Drug Resistance], [Disease Resistance], and [Purification] to complete [Indomitable].

It would have been nice if you could get it by being bitten by a zombie like Baek So-rin, but that was only possible because it was Baek So-rin’s starting trait, and this was the best I could do.

‘You’re a total top-tier trait collector.’

If you just complete the magic soul and the air raid, there is nothing to fear.

It was when I was watching Baek So-rin and Janet training with a big smile on my face.

“I······big brother?”

A member of the Iron Fist gang approached me, mumbling.

“What’s going on?”

“That’s it······I came from the Sun Tower.”

“The Sun Tower? Why the Sun Tower?”

“That’s because they bought him······”

I frowned once.

The sun tower······

Is this really the real Sun Tower?

It wasn’t like that in the game, though.

Is it a real sun tower or a fake sun tower?

It didn’t matter either way.

Because I know the Sun Tower Master.
