◈ Episode 35 I can become stronger (2)
late time.
“and… … .”
As Kim Joo-hyuk gradually regained consciousness after being in a trance, he unconsciously let out an exclamation as he felt the magic power within his body.
“Is this true?”
This was because Kim Joo-hyuk’s magical power had increased by exactly 1.5 times more than his original magical power.
Of course, there was a small amount of magical energy he had accumulated through the Tonap method, but even taking that into account, he had no idea that this much magical energy would be accumulated.
That’s why Kim Joo-hyuk’s mouth was torn as he smiled and contemplated his magic.
[Is it finally over?]
Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth when Barce’s voice was soon heard.
“What, did you have something to say?”
[Well, it’s not a very nutritious thing to say, but it’s a story about the black magic I felt the other day.]
“Oh, that?”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded at Barce’s words and recalled that time.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was caught up in the affairs of the Choi Jin family before obtaining the new government, met and fought with ‘Choi Jin-geon’, who was using black magic just like last time.
… … Well, it was just a fight, but in reality it was no different from Kim Joo-hyuk’s one-sided beating without even using his magic power.
‘Well, it was worth it.’
Kim Joo-hyuk chuckled as he recalled Choi Jin-gun’s movements at that time.
Although he was clearly sharp, as if he had practiced his own martial arts skills, he was worse than Choi Arin.
‘He’s literally an idiot who fights with his magic power.’
The Choi Jin-gun that Kim Joo-hyuk saw was nothing more or less.
The sight of Kim Joo-hyuk putting more magical power into his body than necessary and fighting while wasting away all the magical energy was enough to make Kim Joo-hyuk laugh.
‘Thanks to that, I won comfortably without using any magical power.’
In addition, thanks to Choi Jin-geon unleashing his black magic, saying he would kill everyone, he was able to obtain a little more information about black magic, so the fight wasn’t a bad fight for Kim Joo-hyuk either.
Above all, Choi A-rin did all the cleaning up.
“So, did something come to mind?”
[no. does not exist.]
“?”
[…] … I think I said something wrong. To be exact, it’s not that I couldn’t remember it, but I think this also resulted in memory loss.]
“… … Loss of memory? “This too?”
[okay.]
“What on earth hasn’t been lost?”
[…] … To be honest, I’ve thought about that a lot, but it’s true that I don’t remember. However, one thing is certain: this magic power is the magic power I knew.]
“Tsk.”
When Kim Joo-hyuk clicked his tongue as if he was dissatisfied, Barce said that there was nothing he could do.
[Well, anyway, I think my memories will return to some extent when I reach the second condition.]
“That’s why I’ve been holding on and not abandoning you until now.”
[Dep… … ?]
Of course, Kim Joo-hyuk has been busy with training and other things lately, but he has been thinking about this topic on a regular basis.
However, there was also a reason why Kim Joo-hyuk did not devote more than a certain amount of thought to this topic.
‘I don’t know anything, but even if I thought about it, there’s no way it would come out.’
Kim Joo-hyuk had such thoughts.
He doesn’t know anything.
Likewise, Barche, who was in the village police, also does not know about this situation.
In this situation, even if two guys who know nothing about each other discuss this topic endlessly, nothing will come out.
Therefore, Kim Joo-hyuk completely gave up thinking about the topic.
After all, the information they wanted would have been obtained by satisfying the second condition.
“Is it about a month now?”
[You mean until the final exam?]
“uh.”
[…] … When I looked at the schedule last time, the final exams were just one month from now.]
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded at Barce’s words and spoke.
“Then let’s talk about this again later… … Still, it would be good to know what information there is, right?”
[Information you can know?]
“The thing about constellations, I should have figured it out last time, but I didn’t even think about it.”
[…] … What are you talking about?]
“What do you mean?”
[We already had a lesson on constellations last time, right?]
“?”
[?]
“when??”
[Last Wednesday, the instructor in charge of the Constellations explained the types of Constellations and types of contracts.]
“… … “Why didn’t I hear it?”
[It looks like your eyes were open, but were you thinking about something else?]
At Barce’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk unconsciously kept his mouth shut.
In fact, these days, whenever he starts class, he gets bruised or thinks about other things.
“How on earth are you listening to that boring stuff?”
Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth as if he couldn’t understand.

[It was worth listening to after being alone for 300 years.]
“okay?”
[Yes.]
“Then you can take the written test.”
[…] … .]
Barce kept his mouth shut at Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
####
A contract with the Holy See usually consists of three parts.
Protection, contract, Jinshin contract.
Of course, there were some people in each constellation who made contracts such as ‘sacrifice contract’ or ‘murder contract’, but these are contracts mainly made by evil spirits, and the basic contracts of the constellations do not easily deviate from those three.
First of all, the very first form of contract is gaho (加護).
Guardianship is a very simple form of contract in which a person receives a small share of the constellation’s power if certain conditions are acknowledged.
The next form of contract is contract (契約).
This literally means making a contract with the Constellation and being able to borrow some of his power and abilities.
And the final form of contract is the Jinshin contract.
A Jinshin contract is literally a contract that can be made under very specific conditions or when the Constellation really likes the contractee.
If you make a Jinshin contract, you will be able to use the constellation’s abilities completely for yourself, or you will be able to manifest the constellation on your body.
… … This was all about the constellation that Barce had heard about yesterday, but since this was in the form of a contract, Kim Joo-hyuk went to find someone who could tell him a little more about the constellation.
“Tide on?”
“Tide OFF.”
“I asked you for a favor?”
“If you don’t like it, go ask another instructor.”
When Kim Joo-hyuk tried to walk away without hesitation, Liliya quickly grabbed his hand and spoke.
“Hey, what’s wrong? Between us.”
“What do you think our relationship is like?”
“Are we going to explore our thesis together soon?”
“I don’t think that will happen.”
“Why don’t you stop bouncing around now?”
“Needless to say, I don’t think the relationship was like that at all in the first place.”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, Liliya laughed and spoke.
“Three bits of information?”
“Three is too many.”
“Then four?”
“Why are you going higher?”
“Jebaal~ There’s more information I want to know this time~”
Lily is running around and talking for no reason.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was looking at the white short hair bobbing up and down like a Samoyed, asked earnestly.
“How on earth are you so sure that I know all the information about those monsters?”
“… … ?”
“?”
“uh?”
At that moment, Lily let out an exclamation as if she had suddenly realized something.
When Kim Joo-hyuk tilted his head, Liliya said.
“I know?”
“???”
“I never thought about it.”
“… … .”
“Well, what about it? Anyway, it’s true that you know the information, and it’s also true that all of that information is correct, right? “Then it’s done, isn’t it?”
“uh… … “If you think so.”
“So what about you?”
“two.”
“three!”
“two.”
“Two and a half!”
“… … Where are the two and a half in information?”
“okay! thank you! Two and a half!”
This time, seeing Liliya cutely extending her hand and asking for a handshake, Kim Joo-hyuk waved his hand as if he finally understood and spoke.
“Well, okay. Instead, please tell me in detail.”
“Of course~ So what do you want to know about?”
“hmm… … “The origin of the constellations?”
“Origin of constellations?”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded at Liliya’s words.
“Well, that doesn’t mean I want to hear about how a certain constellation of a certain family came to be like this or that. I just want to hear the literal origins of the constellation.”
“… … Well, in today’s world, we only learn about the types of constellations and contracts, but the origin of the constellations is often explained in two lines in textbooks and then moved on.”
Liliya nodded as she said that and then spoke as if she understood.
“Okay, well, actually, I don’t know as much as the Constellation instructors, but let me tell you the story first.”
After saying that, Liliya began to think about what to say for a moment, and then began explaining about the constellations.
How long did the story continue like that?
“hmm.”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who had been listening to Liliya’s story the whole time, seemed to think for a moment and then spoke.
“So, to summarize, the constellations are beings that suddenly appeared after the end of the Age of Destruction?”
“Actually, I explained a lot of this and that, but the conclusion is, right? Moreover, the reason why the origins of constellations are not written about much is because too little has been studied.”
“okay?”
Liliya nodded and continued speaking.
“Well, we are continuing our research on the constellations, but basically the constellations not only do not tell us their true names, but are also very uncooperative in our research.”
“Isn’t there a single cooperating Constellation?”
“There are constellations that don’t respond at all even when you talk to them. “I heard that there are other constellations that say they cannot speak for some reason.”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded at Liliya’s words and spoke.
“One piece of information.”
“Where can you find something like that!?”
“Honestly, I know so little.”
“What are you talking about~?! “What I just told you is the origin of a constellation that isn’t even on the Internet!”
There was definitely a lot of information that Liliya shared that was a bit profound.
“But in the end, the conclusion is that ‘the constellations appeared in the era of destruction,’ which is also available on the Internet.”
“… … yes?”
“yes.”
A moment of silence.
“Ah↗ang↘ah↑ah↘~ Anyway, since I told you, please tell me the information~~ I have to keep my promise~~”
However, after the silence, Kim Joo-hyuk looked at her running around like a child, holding on to Kim Joo-hyuk’s clothes as she tried to get up, and said with an expression of boredom.
“Seriously, at the age of 22, wouldn’t it be embarrassing to do that?”
“It’s true that 22 million won is more attractive than being 22 years old.”
“… … “Just this once.”
“Yass!”
Liliya, who was already in a fighting pose as if she was in a good mood, was already tilting her head as if wondering what to ask, and then asked as if she had suddenly remembered something.
“Oh, by the way, are you going out?”
“You’re leaving? what?”
“School competition.”
“Oh, that?”
Kim Joo-hyuk unconsciously responded to Liliya’s words and recalled what his homeroom teacher said during the assembly.
“Did you say that we select children from the top three academies and engage in exchanges to improve their achievements?”
“That’s true, but in reality it’s a student power show.”
“Anyway, I said I wouldn’t do it.”
“okay?”
“huh? why?”
“Because it’s annoying.”
When Kim Joo-hyuk frowned with an expression of annoyance just thinking about it, Liliya nodded and said as if she understood.
“ah… … It’s definitely not annoying. If you do that, you will be able to enter the ‘Snow of the Great Forest’ first.”
“? “What did you just say?”
“huh? Oh, you sure didn’t know? The kids who do that are in the eyes of Dae Su-rim in the third game of the competition. “It’s a bit tough to survive in the snow of the great forest.”
As Liliya said that, she nodded as if she understood and looked at Kim Joo-hyuk.
“Honestly, I can understand not going out.”
“What are you talking about?”
“?”
“Are you going to go out?”
“????”
Liliya asked in confusion at the sight of Kim Joo-hyuk changing his posture as if he were a game character.
“… … “You said you’re not going out?”
Liliya’s words.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk smiled at those words.
“Suddenly I have a reason to go out.”
That’s what I said.
