Chapter 95: The Worst Reunion (3)

"You want me to tell you about my Unique Trait?"

"Yeah."

Yoo Eunchae frowned at Seon Woohyeon's sudden words.

"Don't you know that's rude?"

"…I know what you're worried about. But I need your advice to strengthen my Unique Trait and give that damn Han Seojin a blow."

"…Oh, you're not asking me to reveal mine."

"No matter what, I wouldn't do that."

"Hahaha."

Yoo Eunchae laughed absently and thought about Seon Woohyeon for a moment.

Psychopath.

Seon Woohyeon eventually lost his sanity completely due to some incident.

Losing someone precious gave that much of a shock.

But for Seon Woohyeon, it was too much.

For revenge, for his goals, he didn't hesitate to use any means or methods.

'Still, well.'

He seemed to be okay now.

But if he began to make wrong choices like in that route…

'There are people who will stop it.'

There was no one to stop it on that route.

Principal, Kwon Sora.

She was still alive in this timeline.

"So, what are you curious about?"

"I know you're well-informed, even more than Han Seojin."

"I'm quite smart."

"…"

"What's with that reaction? Should I not tell you?"

"…That's not it. Anyway, I'm asking if I can further evolve my Unique Trait."

Yoo Eunchae thought for a moment and then spoke.

"I know."

"Really?"

"First of all, let's talk about Unique Traits."

Unique Traits.

It was the power given by the System.

"To be precise, they analyze the user's talents and forcibly awaken them."

"I know that much."

"Then, you know that Unique Traits have 'evolution' and 'reversal,' right?"

"Evolution and reversal?"

"Is this still new to you?"

Yoo Eunchae, puzzled, paused and wrote with a pen in her notebook.

"Unique Traits can evolve in two forms: evolution or reversal. Evolution can either further specialize the trait or develop it broadly in multiple ways."

Of course, the traits that can be evolved were very few.

Her Unique Trait was complete in itself and couldn't evolve further.

'The power that Seon Woohyeon possesses is the same.'

Borrowing the power of an entity recorded in ancient times.

Since it is a completed trait in itself, it can be enhanced but not evolved.

And evolution.

There was one about this.

Han Seojin.

Han Seojin, who originally should have had the Unique Trait of 'Forever,' now possessed the Unique Trait called 'Eternity.'

Eternity.

A Unique Trait with the attribute of time.

It was an absurdly dangerous power.

Since the system forcibly awakened his talent, it was fortunate that he merely reigned as the 'Eternal Demon King.'

'It's an outrageous power.'

From all dimensional perspectives, it observed the most outstanding version of oneself and fixed it.

Hence, Eternity.

The user gained the power to imprint their existence forever.

However, it was still unknown in which direction Eternity had evolved into.

'It seems specialized in one aspect.'

If that evolution is specialized in one direction.

"What exactly is reversal?"

"Reversal is the power in its literal sense."

Reversal of Unique Traits.

It is an absurdly dangerous power.

Unique Trait.

That is the power called the system forcibly reversing all talents it has awakened.

Originally, it was something that could only be obtained if an entity of Demon King-level intervened in the system.

Reversal.

Or corruption.

This changed a person's temperament.

Changed their talents.

Changed everything they have built up.

Unique Traits.

In other words, it could also be seen as the direction of one's life.

Manifestations.

It was something that gathered the entire trajectory of one's life to be created.

Unique Traits were similar.

When it was reversed…

All of life, the painstakingly built tower of one's life.

'It completely changes.'

This was precisely the reversal.

Hence, reversal is dangerous.

You never know what might come out. However, one thing is certain.

Eternal Demon King.

The symbol of Eternity is immortality. The Eternal Demon King created by reversing that was truly terrifying.

The Demon King who never allows death eternally.

That was exactly the greatest victim of the reversal, Han Seojin.

'Well, in the first place, it's a power that can't come out now.'

The reversal was just that.

In the current situation, a reversal comes out?

The Demon King couldn't use his power now. That was a clear fact.

So, it had to be someone with overwhelming talent and skill who did it.

'And with a very high probability.'

Han Seojin was there.

However, Professor Han Seojin had to be very pleased with his talent right now.

So, if a reversal revealed itself…

'It must be someone with comparable talent.'

But no matter how much I imagined, there wasn't anyone with a similar level of talent.

'So it's better not to worry.'

That would be the case.

"Kyaahahahahaha!!"

There was a woman laughing as if she was very happy.

—She was my disciple.

'Wait, is that Yoo Seolrang?'

I looked at Yoo Seolrang.

Clad in a storm, her hands were surrounded by claw-shaped wind that had grown long like talons.

On her back, the wind distorted, taking on the form of wings.

And on her head, new green fox ears had emerged.

It was not the usual expressionless face with no presence.

It was highly elevated.

Yoo Seolrang was smiling as if she was enjoying it.

"What on earth is going on?"

Her temperament had changed.

The calm temperament, no matter the situation, was now endlessly ferocious.

Like a beast.

Yes, a beast. She had that temperament.

'Can she change that drastically?'

Such a question arose naturally.

The change was that certain.

But one thing was for sure.

Her combat power and presence had increased dramatically.

Boom boom boom!!

Numerous swords formed in the sky.

Yoo Seolrang casually created bombs and blew everything up.

"Come on, try harder, lady!!"

"You little…!!"

Han Juhee, fuming with anger, extended her hand. Numerous swords of various forms materialized nearby.

But.

Crack!

With a swing of her hand, like a whirlwind, all the swords shattered.

"Haha! The swords are broken just like your future, lady!"

"How dare you, you brat!!"

Han Juhee raised her hand and pointed to the sky.

Boom.

From the clouds above,

A massive sword emerged.

A gigantic sword that seemed to be over 100 meters long.

"This is the secret sword technique of the Iron-Blood Sword Clan! That's dangerous!"

Do Wijong shouted urgently.

I looked at it in disbelief.

'Is that the secret technique?'

It was merely a crude way to cultivate swordsmanship.

However, it was exceptionally stable compared to other swordsmanship techniques.

It had to be the power of the trait.

I looked at the swordsmanship with my Heavenly Eye.

Then, the structure of the magic flowed entirely into my mind.

'Quite a unique interpretation.'

It maximized the embodiment ability of the sword technique, focusing on speed, power, and the connection of energy.

'It's quite decent.'

The swordsmanship itself is excellent.

The reason that the so-called secret technique seemed strange was likely because the woman wasn't skilled enough to realize it fully.

That was why they were able to specialize in swordsmanship at the Iron-Blood Sword Clan.

As I was thinking that, a blue window appeared.

[Would you like to learn the trait Sword Technique (A)?]

'Hmm… Sword Technique, huh.'

I nodded my head.

I thought there would be no harm in learning it.

If it's unnecessary, you can delete it later.

[You have acquired the trait Sword Technique (A).]

As I opened my hand, a small dagger appeared.

'I can modify this later in various ways.'

But that was for later.

'For now, I should focus on the fight.'

"Your comrade is in danger! That could cost you a comrade!!"

"…Just because of that?"

"Just that? It's the Iron-Blood Sword Clan's secret technique…?"

Whooooosh!

The wind blew.

Do Wijong sensed something unusual and stared at Yoo Seolrang with a dazed look.

The wind blew.

The wind eventually became a storm.

Rumble!

The storm gathered in front of Yoo Seolrang. Then, it started to transform into one shape.

Wind Dragon.

The massive wind coalesced into the shape of a dragon. Its size was even greater than the power known as the sword technique.

'I thought there was no way I could lose if I fought head-on.'

This is stronger than I expected.

For some reason, right after Yoo Seolrang changed, her combat ability increased exponentially.

'On the other hand, her assassination skills seem to have slightly decreased.'

With that much increase in combat power, there must be a risk.

'No, can it even be called a risk in the first place?'

It was like a coin.

Like a coin with duality, one side was suitable for combat.

The other side was suitable for assassination and hiding.

The problem was, even for someone like me, it was hard to detect her assassination-related actions.

'Still, she's pretty good at fighting, right?'

Whoever taught her, she was really good. She provoked just enough and dragged her opponent into her pace.

"Dieeeee!!"

"Go."

Unlike Han Juhee, who was raging.

Yoo Seolrang spoke calmly.

Then, the Wind Dragon moved.

The massive sword descended toward it.

──────────!!!

An incredible explosion that erased even the sound in an instant.

"Your colleague is quite terrifying."

"I raised her well."

"…?"

I focused upwards.

The match was decided in an instant.

Towards Yoo Seolrang.

'If there's a problem.'

Han Juhee was collapsing.

Yoo Seolrang still hadn't regained her composure and exhibited a beastly temperament.

'About 60% of my strength remains?'

She managed to conserve that much energy against an equal opponent.

Her combat ability had increased significantly.

Drip, drip.

I relaxed my hands.

Even so, this time, contrary to expectations, the kids were weak, so my body wasn't fully loosened.

'They say madness is the medicine for weakness from ancient times.'

So, disciplining a disciple is a teacher's duty.

Fwoosh.

Ashen flames bloomed in my hand.

Then Yoo Seolrang looked at me.

Flash!

She dashed forward quickly.

Wind God's Step.

She used the technique I had shown her but adapted to her style.

'That's not how it's meant to be used.'

I'll need to create a training routine for her.

Chasing her with Wind God's Step and throwing a few killing moves should do it.

"It looks dangerous. Let me help you."

Do Wijong put his hand on the hilt beside me, but I stopped him.

Because.

'There's no killing intent.'

And I could sense the urgency in her aura.

A ferocious beast.

Its temper was subsiding.

Yoo Seolrang, cutting through the wind, said.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I won't go crazy again."

She quickly ran over and prostrated before me.
