Episode 16. approaching mind (1)
“Mr. Kim Do-yoon.”
Class 3 of the first year after being discharged from the hospital. Unlike usual, there was someone who greeted me.
“hi.”
“Is your body okay?”
It was a drifting forest.
She examined my body from place to place, showing signs of concern.
“I was thankful for Neverland. I live thanks to you.”
“I’m just glad you’re okay.”
Why? It’s obviously the expressionless expression I always see at first glance. My sensitive eyes noticed that her expression brightened a little.
“It seems a bit like saying thank you with words. I want to repay you.”
If it was before, I would have passed by trying not to mix words, but today was different.
“In return… ?”
Pyo Yu-rim also looked wide-eyed, probably not expecting me to say such a thing.
“Ah~ is this the boy Yurim talked about?”
It was then. From somewhere, a strange male voice interrupted our conversation. I looked up because I wanted someone, and there was a male student with a hairstyle with bangs rolled up with wax.
‘Who is it? It’s the first time I’ve seen your face.’
He came naturally to the seat where Pyo Yu-rim and I were sitting. Strictly speaking, it appeared to be interfering with the middle seat where Pyoyu-rim and I were standing.
“Who are you?”
When I asked, he made a friendly face and asked for a handshake.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Yoo-rim’s friend Nam Sung-jin. Yurim said she was worried about you.”
male jin.
It took some time to think of the three letters of the name.
‘that’s right. Come to think of it, there was such a name in the Psychic Age setting book.’
Pyo Yu-rim’s fiancée. A character whose existence can only be known by looking at the setting book separately. It was an extra that had never appeared in the main game.
“You must be very close with Yurim? He was very worried about you.”
As far as I remember, the character is a third-generation conglomerate type like Seol Chae-hwa. But even so, as an extra, the level of conglomerate power was far below that of Seolchaehwa.
“okay?”
“Actually, I really wanted to meet you. Yurim doesn’t try to be friendly with other people. So, I was curious about something.”
“Are you curious?”
“Tell me the secret. I also want to look good to Yurim, but you act so coldly, don’t you?”
I was really curious about it, so I wanted to ask Yoo-rim Pyo, the person involved. I have the idea that memories of me might be retained, but it’s just an inference.
“Male Jin.”
at that time. I heard Pyo Yu-rim’s cold, frozen voice. The man’s shoulders trembled.
“sorry. I was curious about what kind of person he was because he was your friend. You inadvertently cut off the conversation.”
“Go back to your class. The teacher will come soon.”
He obediently followed her words.
instead.
“There is a saying that a friend of a friend is a friend. Did you say Kim Do-yoon? Let’s talk a little more leisurely when we have a chance later. huh?”
He patted my shoulder with a friendly smile and leisurely left the classroom. Pyo Yu-rim glanced at her back and shook her head.
“sorry. He’s an acquaintance I’ve known for a long time. Since the last time I met Mine, he often comes to class saying he’s worried.”
“It was.”
“You said you wanted to repay me earlier, right?”
“huh? uh oh yeah Do you have anything you want?”
“When I try to think of it, my mind goes blank. Can I ask you later?”
“okay. Do whatever you want.”
You can feel the joy in Pyo Yu-rim’s eyes. However, the feeling I felt while looking at it was very complicated.
I twist the future that was decided by my hand. He saves Yu-rim Pyo, who is destined to become a disabled person and leave. Because I owe her my life.
‘It’s good so far… … .’
Even if I did, what would be the best way to do it? I haven’t been able to find the answer yet.

“Ugh! Suck!”
As soon as the regular class was over, I went straight to the Cheonseong training ground.
Is it because I haven’t moved my body for a week? Every time I stretch today, the sound of billions came out.
‘Honestly, I have to reflect.’
I reviewed the last incident.
When I met Glene, I made one mistake. It was great that I had not thought of the number of more diverse cases.
I checked my nature list through my vital chip.
<Name :: Kim Doyoon>
<Code name :: Influencer>
Step 1 (safety)
+ Emotion Implant Lv.2 (Emotion Injection) [Proficiency: 12%]
+ Mental Acceleration Lv.1 (Mental Acceleration) [Proficiency: 87%]
+ Sense Control Lv.1 (Sense Manipulation) [Proficiency: 4%]
Step 2 (safety)

+ Eyes Fake Lv.1 (Perception Manipulation) [Proficiency: 0%]
Step 5 (ban)
+ Amnesia (???)
+ Ripley Syndrome (???)
Last time I checked the status window in simplified mode, this time it was in detailed mode.
What I’m going to check now is the 4th level nature.
‘The nature of the forbidden state was so dangerous that the vital chip prevented the reading itself.’
In step 5, the proficiency level is not displayed, and the brief explanation is also a question mark. I guess you shouldn’t even wonder until you fully satisfy the conditions.
It was obviously not used as much as it was marked with a question mark.
Anyway, back to Step 4, this isn’t the first time I’ve come to check this nature. It was only excluded from the number of cases because of the explanation that even a little use is dangerous to life.
‘I was so scared at the time. If it’s a life to die anyway, in a situation where the judges decide, it’s right to use it regardless of whether it’s a meal that will kill.’
If I had thought of using the 4th level of nature from the beginning when I faced Glene, the result might have been different.
I read the details from ‘Mind Siege’ first.
<Mind seize>
:: Randomly manipulates the opponent’s body.
Although it was a detailed reading, the explanation itself was simple. It was literally the ability to manipulate the body.
‘What if I had used this ability?’
Or even if this nature had been used, the result might have been different.
<Eyes fake>
:: Arbitrarily manipulates the opponent’s perception.
ability to manipulate perception. I’ll have to experiment to find out the details, but once I looked at the explanation, I felt like a scam.
“Hmm.”
I was troubled for a while.
Life is at risk when used. I got that far, but there was no detailed description of exactly how dangerous it was.
‘Even if it’s dangerous, I think I need to feel how dangerous it is.’
That way, if you find yourself in a situation where you have to risk your life again, you will be able to decide whether to use these natures at the risk.
However, if this happens, you will have the same worries as last time. It was who would be the experiment partner of this nature.
“No one here is Na-yeon~”
“… … ?”
While I was lost in my thoughts, the training ground door slanted open. Along with a fresh and lively voice, a piece of chocolate popped out of the crack in the door.
“uncle. busy?”
It was the appearance of Eom Na-yeon, a female student who smiled and joked around with her name.
“what’s the matter?”
“I heard that you were discharged from the hospital, so I came to check on you.”
“Well, it’s not too bad.”
“okay? I’m glad. Uncle, at that time I was seriously injured and thought I was going to die.”
“Um Nayeon.”
“huh? why?”
“You didn’t come here just to ask how are you?”
“oh. Did you catch it?”
She entered the training ground with her signature sad eye smile.
“So what is your real purpose?”
“uncle. You said you fought the infamous Glen?”
indeed. I wondered why he came to the training ground, but was it because of that?
“Rather than fighting, I was just looking for an opening. If I had fought fair and square, I might have really died.”
“You have to be strong enough to aim for gaps, right? I suddenly wanted to know how strong my uncle is.”
“I’ll be weaker than you.”
“ah! Uncle, come to think of it, you were training right now, right? Great. Then I’ll be your sparring partner. Isn’t this a win-win for each other?”
Hearing her suggestion, a good idea suddenly came to my mind.
“It just happened that I was going to train with hypnosis-related abilities. Can you still deal with me?”
“hypnosis? What hypnosis?”
“It’s hypnosis that makes the opponent’s body immobile.”
Strictly speaking, rather than hypnosis, ‘mental interference’ was an accurate term. It’s just that in cartoons and movies, this ability was often lumped together and expressed as hypnosis. It was just an easy-to-understand explanation.
“oh? You can’t move your body? I think it will be kind of fun.”
The other day, during the multipurpose room meeting led by Seol Chae-hwa, it was Eom Na-yeon who showed curiosity about my abilities.
‘At first glance, she seems like an innocent girl… … .’
She is not as friendly as she appears on the outside.
I pointed to the CCTV inside the training ground.
“Just in case, you don’t have to worry too much. The guard room is watching everything in case of an emergency.”
“Hmm. okay?”
A sense of trembling came from Nayeon Eom’s voice. There is something I don’t like.
“The small talk ends here. If you’re going to help with training, take it seriously. Go right away.”
I shrugged my shoulders and prepared to show my nature.
“okay. Come anytime.”
[warning! This guide is for the first time only.]
[In the current state, I’m going to use a nature that puts my life in danger when activated.]
[Do you really want to activate ‘Mind Siege’?]
‘I’m sure he won’t die as soon as he uses it, right?’
Even if it is dangerous, it will be okay because Nayeon Eom is there.
I washed away my fear with the Emotion Implant. After taking a deep breath, I raised my nerves and activated my nature.
[‘Mind Siege’ is activated.]
There seemed to be no problem right away.
‘Let’s tie the limbs first.’
Sealed Eom Na-yeon’s limbs with Mind Siege.
“huh? Why are you staring at me all of a sudden? Didn’t you say you were coming right away?”
It seemed that the person concerned did not know that he was affected by the Mind Siege.
[Remaining Spirit: 100%]
I also opened the mental strength window to prepare for any unexpected danger, but it did not decrease.
‘what? Didn’t I hear that the ability failed?’
I decided to check it out to see if it was right.
“Has your ability been activated now? Try moving.”
“uh?”
[Remaining Sanity: 99%]
My mental strength was worn out a bit. From this, it was possible to know that the Mind Siege was properly consumed.
‘But this is the nature of putting life at risk?’
Something was strange. Contrary to the warning, it was a bland result.
[Remaining Spirit: 57%]
… The moment I heard the thought.
‘uh?’
His mental strength, which was obviously 100%, dropped to 57% in the blink of an eye. I sensed something was wrong, but it was too late.
“Eutcha!”
The moment Nayeon Eom tried to get out of my control by twisting her body strongly.
[Remaining Spirit: 5%]
[The activation of ‘Mind Siege’ is canceled due to lack of mental strength.]
My mental strength ran out in an instant.
It was only then that I realized the principle of this nature’s activation. I never thought that mental strength would be consumed according to the resistance level of the opponent bound by the Mind Siege.
[A sudden decline in mental strength has been detected!]
[Immediately stabilize the mind and body to prevent damage within the brain… … .]
Right after I felt my nose grow cold, my body collapsed helplessly like a puppet with a thread cut off. At the same time, the tension in my head suddenly snapped.
“uncle?! What’s wrong with you all of a sudden!”
Um Na-yeon’s urgent voice gradually faded away.
‘There are reasons not to do it.’
4th level nature is virtually forbidden. I was acutely aware of that fact.

“Ugh.”
Eom Na-yeon put her ear to Kim Do-yoon’s chest with a face that was full of tears.
Fortunately, my heart was beating. I’m breathing in without a problem
“Phew. You just fainted.”
As I calmed down my surprise, I suddenly remembered what had just happened.
I was really hit by mice and birds without even realizing it. Although, the movement was blocked for about 2-3 seconds. But Eom Na-yeon was well aware of how fatal that time was.
‘If it had been a life-and-death fight, I would have died on the spot.’
I definitely felt it myself, and it was a great power.
Why is Seol Chae-hwa showing interest in Kim Do-yoon? Was he able to withstand without dying against a Mine who would become an executive of Septagram? I felt like I could finally understand everything.
“Ugh. It’s the head… .”
From nob le mt l. com
Just in time, Kim Do-yoon, who had passed out, regains his senses with a moan.
“oh. uncle. Are you awake?”
“sorry. Were you surprised?”
“Did you write something with a higher nature level?”
“I heard it was in the warning stage, so I tried to test how dangerous it is.”
Surprised, Nayeon Eom poked Kim Doyoon’s forehead with her finger and yelled at him.
“It’s dangerous! You should have said something beforehand!”
“I was going to quit right away if I wanted to be tough… . I didn’t know that my power would be consumed so quickly.”
“Looking at it, it hasn’t been a few days since my uncle was discharged, right? what kind of training is Today, just go to the dormitory and rest. Then you get hurt.”
“Ugh. Yes, thank you for your concern.”
Kim Doyoon grabbed his forehead and raised himself. Eom Na-yeon looked at him and thought.
‘Seo-eun said I should be careful with this person.’
At the time of the Neverland Glen appearance incident, Eom Na-yeon was able to hear a certain later story.
That Kim Do-yoon risked his life to protect a child from Glenn. The child’s parents came to the scene and said they wanted to say thank you. So everyone present could see it.
‘Looking at what I’ve seen, I don’t think I’m a bad person… . Why did I do that to Seo Eun on the day of the entrance exam?’
Whatever.
If you have the heart to risk your life to save a child, there must be a reason. Eom Na-yeon believed that.
“uncle.”
“huh? why?”
“You can’t do perverted things with that ability later. So, are you upset?”
Kim Doyoon laughed bitterly.
Nayeon Eom had no idea what kind of laughter it was. However, rather than trying to figure out what she was thinking, she preferred to settle the matter by negotiating with herself.
“If you think you can’t stand perverts, tell me. I will help you.”
“How are you going to help me?”
“oh. Did you have any erotic fantasies?”
“… done. What are you going to do by talking?”
Please don’t let someone with this ability fall into the path of the Mine. Save people like you do now and stay as a righteous saint.
“Ahahahaha! It’s a joke, a joke~”
Nayeon Eom just smiled and hoped.
