The Kids I Saved Are Too Strong - Chapter 198
198 – Awakening-4
The mana that settled near my heart was foreign.
But it didn’t hurt me.
That mana didn’t interact with my mana in any way, and even if I tried to move that mana by moving it, my mana just passed through it and had no effect.
‘It’s a strange thing.’

No matter how much mana he moved, the mana didn’t budge, so it was mana that didn’t do any harm except that it was annoying.
The problem was, why was that mana located near my heart?
‘Didn’t the vampire give it to you?’
Hyeonsu’s words were quite reasonable.
Since the mana of the gate is almost harmonized with my existing mana, it means that it is mana that came from another place, but there was no cost other than the vampire that could receive mana from other places.
‘I said I was helping you and left it, so it won’t harm you. I can’t use it right away anyway, so let’s leave it alone.’
“okay.”
But how do I get out of here?
I was able to come all the way to this place thanks to the help of the vampire, but I didn’t know how to get out.
Unlike before, the space wasn’t twisted, so you could just leave, but I didn’t even know what the geography of this place was like before the space was twisted.
There was a high probability of getting lost and disappearing in the long underpass if you moved recklessly, so when you were seriously thinking about how to break the ceiling and get out, the space slightly distorted and someone appeared.
‘I’m here to save you!’
I ignored Hyeonsu’s dripping tone and looked at the person who appeared in front of me.
“Knight? Why are you here?”
Wolha’s face was full of embarrassment.
Am I looking in vain, starting with the feeling that I couldn’t be here? Or who was playing the prank? I was seeing it so clearly that I could see it with my eyes, but it was so funny that I couldn’t help but laugh a little.
“Don’t laugh! Why are you here!”
Wolha asked in a sharp and ferocious tone.
Although the cause of the harsh tone itself was a concern for me, the emotions contained in it were so intense that it was so powerful that I took a step back without even realizing it.
“Umm… It’s long to explain…”
“Tell me please.”
Wolha’s eyes were bloodshot red.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t been able to take a proper rest and have been working all this time, but the look of me staring at me with those eyes and demanding to reveal the truth created a heavy atmosphere that made my hamstrings tingle.
“I was taken to the gate that appeared in the house once.”
“… that must be force majeure.”
Wolha’s words, first of all, it’s not the knight’s fault. seemed to say
It seems that he is angry with me.
“And there I heard how to solve the situation now.”
“Then why did you come all the way here by yourself?”
“Because I said I could wake up alone enough. And I said it would be better if I woke up alone.”
The second thing he said was virtually untrue.
The reason I was able to win the fight against me, one of the boss monster’s tests, was because I couldn’t copy the Hyunsoo that wasn’t me.
If Wol-ha had been taken, Wol-ha might have been seriously injured while fighting with him.
“No matter how hard it is… Why don’t you just trust that and go. You don’t even tell us!”
Wolha grabbed my shoulder and shook it roughly.
Perhaps he was genuinely angry, but his hands held a lot of power, so he couldn’t help but feel pressure so strong that he wondered if his shoulders would be crushed.
Originally, it would be best to just bow down and apologize, but…
‘I don’t want to do that today.’
Anyway, I chose the best way and the result was good, right? Of course, there were some risks, but human beings cannot always live without risks.
There are times when Wol-ha excludes her own risk and moves, so can’t I do that?
“I wouldn’t have let you go if I had told you.”
When he lowered his voice for the first time in a while and spoke calmly and seriously, Wolha’s arm stopped.
Since it’s very rare for me to be serious, it seemed to have a significant effect on the excited Wolha.
“You guys don’t believe me. Don’t you? If I told you to go and solve it by yourself, would you let it go?”
“…I wouldn’t have sent it.”
“So I didn’t tell you guys and went alone. No matter how much I thought about it, going alone seemed like a good way to resolve the situation.”
“But… it’s dangerous.”
“It’s more dangerous to go with you? I’m a human with thoughts. If I thought it would be better to go with you, I would have abandoned my stubbornness and went with you. But otherwise, it would have been better for me to go alone. It’s because it’s like that. And, if I go with you, you’ll share the danger, do you think I can easily see that?”
“I’m willing to take any risk for the knight.”
hey Wow, that’s a really cool thing to say.
I’m very impressed.
“Walhaya.”
“Yes.”
“Me too.”
“Yes?”
I hugged the flustered Wolha tightly.
Unlike Hayeon, Wolha was smaller than I was, so I was able to hold her in my arms.
“So am I. I can take any risk for you guys. I’m not someone who needs to be protected by you. It wasn’t until recently, but now I’m an Awakener and have some power. So don’t treat me too childishly.”
“But… I’m anxious… If things went wrong and I thought the knight was dead… I would have regretted it, saying that it would be much better for me to die!”
I could feel her whole body trembling.
Yes, she must have been very anxious.
It’s true that I’m obviously weak compared to her, and it won’t be easy for her to think of a life without me.
This is my problem after all.
Is this because I’m weak? If I become stronger than anyone else and stronger than Wolha, then he won’t have to worry about me.
“I’m sorry this time. But I want you to believe in me too. I’m not something to be protected… though it’s something I have to prove in the end.”
“… For now, I have no choice but to resent the knight…”
“Yeah I’m sorry.”
Much of the anger had disappeared from Wolha’s voice, so I admitted it coolly.
In the end, it was definitely my fault for heading to a dangerous place without saying anything to her, who was close to me like family.
It seems that my intention of not wanting to be protected any longer was conveyed well, so it seemed good to finish the work neatly without leaving any resentment for each other at this point.
“But how did you find out about this place?
“Suddenly, the gate disappeared completely, which gave me a breather. So I took a quick look at my house, and I couldn’t find the driver. I searched all over the city to find the driver.”
Focus is great.
“… Shall we go back now?”
“Yes…”
Our surroundings lightly changed, and we returned to our house.
Was it because I was too impressed with the life of a vampire? In terms of time, less than an hour had passed, but for some reason, my house felt awkward.
As I tried to get away from Wolha’s body and sit on the sofa to rest, I realized that there was still a small mountain left in me.
“Brother? Where have you been?”
A younger man was already sitting on the sofa with a very ferocious expression on his face.
***
Fortunately, the younger’s anger was safely resolved.
Since I repeat almost exactly what I said to Wolha, I have apologized on the contrary, saying that I seem to have been overprotective of me until now.
After a rough reconciliation, when I brought up the story that the backbone of the gate incident that occurred in the basement was buried, the younger generation opened their mouths wide and began to contact somewhere.
It seemed like he contacted Sol, but after that, things went smoothly.
Hayeoni from Sol took my younger sister and me to solo and looked for places in Sol where the gate would be easiest to hide. When the S-class Awakener decided to search the gate, a place where the space was distorted soon came out, and Ha-yeon immediately went in there and cleared the gate and came out.
I’m sure she would have cleared the same missions as me, but it didn’t take that long.
‘Is this… the power of love?’
After Hyeonsu’s bullshit passed, it took roughly three days for Sol and our city to stabilize.
“…Your brother entered the gate?”
Looking at Ha-yeon’s cold and hardened expression, I was able to intuit that there was still one more big mountain to overcome.
