7 – The Powerful Super-rich Psychic Girl

* * *

Gamro looked at the ground. Broken pieces of glass and blood-red wine were scattered on the floor like an abstraction.

Unbelievable.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t believe the fact that the glass was dropped,

It was the action of the man called Yu Hajin that was unbelievable.

“Gamro-nim. That man…”

Gujoo was also surprised.

But Gamro couldn’t say anything.

At first, she thought this way.

That the man named Yu Hajin was smart.

“A person doesn’t attack others until they are attacked themselves. But if someone attacks them, they strike back. It’s a tit-for-tat strategy.”

Yu Hajin was acting according to a typical tit-for-tat strategy.

In a situation where a chaotic battle was unfolding like this, a tit-for-tat strategy would have a great effect.

The students who had accumulated enmity since the outside world wouldn’t intentionally attack Yu Hajin to increase enemies, and Yu Hajin only needed to wait for them to weaken each other in their fights.

Of course, Yu Hajin was just struggling to survive without any thoughts,

Gamro, Gujoo, and the students had no way of knowing that.

Gamro marveled at Yu Hajin’s strategy and opened another bottle of wine.

Alcohol can’t be missing from a fight spectacle.

That’s how the battle began.

There were groups trying to assassinate the phoenix chick, Bongchu, and kids who were entangled in the cycle of life and death that had been passed down through generations. It was an interesting fight for everyone. It was intense enough to reveal who was the lion and who was the prey.

That’s how the braille fight began to escalate.

“In the end, the Bongchu will lose. Although it can be compared to that tiger if we only consider physical strength. But if they die here, they were not such talents after all.”

Gamro felt a bit strange seeing the girl being trampled after being betrayed, but she suppressed such feelings because she knew they would be of no help in living as a psychic.

The worst and strongest demons, Gwisun and Guishin, who could only be called gods because they had no match. When thinking about them, a ripple spread through the wine in the cup.

To defeat those demons, one had to become a monster themselves.

And sympathy was unnecessary for monsters.

The stronger the psychic ability one was born with, the more they were swayed by the essence of their soul, becoming cruel, emotional, obsessive, and holding grudges for a long time.

“Because that is the essence of the soul.”

Therefore, all those with strong psychic abilities had no choice but to become monsters. So when Yu Hajin, who appeared to be a strong psychic, walked towards their respective positions where their ultimate moves were being prepared, Gamro couldn’t help but be surprised.

“You broke the pattern of the strategy? No, why did you suddenly walk into the line of fire yourself?”

Doubt filled Gamro’s mind.

Why did he act like that?

When those ultimate moves were triggered, Yu Hajin would have taken care of dozens of competitors on his own. Why suddenly intrude and stop the activation of the ultimate moves? He himself could also be hit by those ultimate moves.

Of course, Yu Hajin did not know any of that. He simply thought, upon seeing the students gathering their strength to prepare their ultimate moves, “Has the fight finally stopped?” He could not see the ghosts, so he could not see the ultimate moves of psychics.

But Gamro and Guju did not know such facts.

Even though it was clear that power was being gathered, why did he walk into the line of fire where the ultimate moves clashed? Moreover, some were even willing to consume their lifespans to launch dangerous attacks?

They could only think like this.

“Is he trying to prevent more casualties?”

Guju, who was next to him, gave the wrong answer. But Gamro could not help but think that wrong answer was the correct one. Then, a feeling of choking arose from within her chest.

“No, he’s really throwing himself away like that? He must be a monster like us.”

Gamro’s mind became confused by Guju’s bewildered voice. As psychics grew stronger, they gradually became monsters, alienated from humans. And Yu Hajin was a monster judged to be of the highest level. Yet, despite that, such sacrifice.

Even ordinary humans would not make such a sacrifice.

“He’s… saving the child?”

Even when Yu Hajin saved the chick that insulted him, a tear that she herself did not understand fell from Gamro’s eyes. Along with it, her cup fell and shattered.

“What is this tear…?”

Gamro could not pick up the cup.

Because she had to wipe away the tear with her remaining hand.

And the students standing at the Pyeonfam Station felt a similar emotion to what Gamro had felt.

Some were deeply moved, while others forcibly suppressed their emotions. Some laughed and ridiculed Yu Hajin as a foolish prey, while others felt genuine interest in this truly unknowable person. Some liked Yu Hajin, and some felt ashamed upon realizing what they had done.

And there was a pink chick. That chick looked up at the man who had saved it, feeling countless emotions. Then, an unknown emotion swelled up and once again, it shed a tear. It was just a chick.

“Cheep…”

In that moment, Yu Hajin spoke.

“Everyone, line up and get a ticket in order. I’ll be the last one to get it.”

He showed sacrifice again.

Gamlor bit his lip as he watched that sight.

* * *

Honestly, it was a ridiculous situation. They fought over just getting subway tickets? Don’t these guys even know what the concept of a subway is??

Subway trains have designated arrival and departure times. So even if you buy a subway ticket first, it doesn’t mean you can board first.

I looked at the timetable posted next to the ticket booth. Trains heading towards Saengmun Station and trains heading towards Muryangheukso. The departure times for these two trains were still a bit away.

So, it was fine to let these guys buy tickets first and go up to the 2nd or 3rd floor. It didn’t matter. In fact, it was better. Eventually, the ones who go down first will eliminate the spirits on the 2nd and 3rd floors.

I’m so clever.

That’s what you call a genius.

From now on, call me Genius Haji.

I leaned against the wall and watched the kids buy tickets. For some reason, the students glanced at me and bought tickets.

Why are they doing that?

I really don’t know.

But their expressions seemed to acknowledge something, so I didn’t feel bad.

“Haa.”

That’s beside the point, what should I do now?

Judging by the atmosphere, it seems like the first round of exams is about to end.

But I haven’t become close to anyone.

Is this how my project to become friends with a superpowerful girl who will protect me fails? Becoming a mealworm for a girl is my lifelong wish.

“Are there no superpowerful multimillionaire girls around here?”

As I had such thoughts, the ticket booth became empty. I stood at the booth and pounded on the window until a message appeared to pay in cash. Machines really need a good beating to listen well.

Once I paid and obtained the subway ticket, it’s over.

Since the train heading towards Muryangheukso is coming first, I’ll go down to the 3rd floor.

There were blood stains on the stairs. They were probably real people’s blood, judging by what I could see.

Honestly, let’s state the obvious,

This exam,

It’s truly insane.

How many people are going to die?

Pian Station is such a terrifying place where even talented psychics can get hurt.

If I’m in a place like this, should I try to act a little scared?

But as soon as I thought about pretending to be scared, an inexplicable anger welled up.

“How dare I to such a thing?

“···?”

Because of this strange anger, it seems impossible.

I should give up pretending to be scary. I shook my head and went down.

Looking at the basement 2nd floor, everyone was waiting for the train with tired expressions. It seems they finally realized that just buying a ticket doesn’t mean they can immediately board the train.

Idiots. hehehe.

After mocking them, I went down one more floor.

There weren’t many people on B3 floor. To be precise, there was only an alcoholic woman who introduced herself as a savior and looked like an examiner or an examiner’s supervisor.

The examiners whispered behind me.

From Noble mtl dot com

“That man, did he sense that the underground 3rd floor train would arrive first?”

“No, no way. Even if he has good senses, would he feel a train that exists in a different dimension? Maybe he saw the timetable?”

“That makes even less sense. That ticket booth is the remnants of evil intentions. There is no one who can recognize the remnants contaminated by evil intentions.”

“In that case, who is that man?”

What nonsense are they talking about?

I couldn’t hear it well. It sounded like some talk about remnants of evil intentions.

Telekinetics often speak nonsense in Korean.

I could say it’s a really amazing talent.

I wanted to be quiet, so I sat a bit away from them.

The train will come in just 10 more minutes.

Will they hit me with a stick or something?

“Why did you come down to B3 floor?”

The pink witch girl interrupted my thoughts. Her lips were torn, her hair was messy, and her clothes were tattered, but she was pretty because she was the real deal.

“Haven’t you read the manual? You can also take the train on B3 floor.”

“But they say the frequency of the B3 floor train is much lower than that of the B2 floor. If, if I do this, I will fail the test!”

It was written like that in the timetable. But right now, at this time, the train coming from B3 floor in the direction of the limitless black pond comes first.

“Namisah.”

“Cheep, cheep?”

Clapping hands like that, she really looks like a chick. Bongchu, was it? Meaning the chick of the phoenix? That nickname must mean that the girl is also a monster-like telekinetic.

I should just brush her off.

“Do you have something to say to me?”

“I heard earlier.”

“What did you hear?”

A shaman girl with pink hair pointed at herself and said.

“I, the strongest wealthy girl with superpowers, am the one you were looking for. Here I am.”

Upon hearing those words, I thought to myself.

Is this girl crazy?
