Yu IlHan also didn’t know anything about mana so he could only nod his head at her words. He would just accept whatever she spoke of.
When the conversation ended, Erta flew and placed herself on his head. What are you doing? – he said while brushing his head, but Erta didn’t budge a a bit.
[I have magic cast on me to prevent recognition from other lower existences so you don’t need to mind.]
“……So you will continue to stay on top of my head in the future?”
[That is so.]
That was no good. Mostly, the 1.7 Terabytes of treasure in his hard drive (And one piled up during the countless years) was in a difficult position.
Even Rita didn’t stick to him all day, but to think an ambush like this would come now!
[I don’t care whatever a lower existence like you does. So you don’t need to worry.]
“You read my mind?”
For that instant, Yu IlHan seriously pondered whether to return the angel or not, but he couldn’t miss the opportunity to adjust to mana in just 1 year.
Yes, it’s one year. He needed to endure for just one year. Yu IlHan cried blood and accepted reality.
[I really don’t care if you breakdance, belly dance, or dance dance dance revolution.]
“I care! And you know what the last one is, right?”
The next day after humanity returned, the Korean morning was mixed with the anxiety that the world would change and a slight expectation for the changing society, it looked very lively on the surface. The people Yu IlHan saw, after leaving his house with Erta on top of her head, was like that.
If one ignored the soldiers in army uniform with guns securing the perimeter while walking due to the joint operation with the government.
“F*ck, I was drinking with a woman at my side until yesterday morning……!”
“But it’s better than the climbers in the mountains, sir…… I heard monsters have already appeared.”
“If I kill monsters, I can at least level up! I need to find my Thunder Sword quickly!”
“Corporal Seo, The entire regiment knows that you didn’t earn a skill until the end in Guundia……?”
Yu IlHan shook away the breath of despair which would come his way in the near future and hurried to college. (T/N: All males have to go through a compulsory military service in Korea). He thought that he walked slowly, but as it took the amount of time it would take him by car and he arrived early, he felt funny even when he himself thought about it.
He went to the humanities campus of Sungkyunkwan university. (T/N: one of the top tier unis in Korea, will be shortened to Sung U when necessary.)
Befitting of being built within the city, Sungkyunkwan university was built on a hill that made its students seriously wonder whether it was commuting or climbing, thanks to using a small area of land as efficiently as possible.
Of course, that level was laughable for the current Yu IlHan.
The campus was filled with a lot of people. As most of them were young college students, they tended to think positively about what they became able to do rather than the crisis they were about to meet. And most of them were talking about a topic that Yu IlHan didn’t know about.
“Did you make a skill?”
“How about you? I managed to make one somehow.”
“Fuu. Two for me.”
Yu IlHan asked Erta with a small voice.
“……What does it mean to make a skill?”
[It means creating something to use in an attack somehow by combining tiny bits of mana and insignificant records. As a higher existence, in my view, even if you combine all the skills that they are boasting about, I think that it will pale in comparison to your concealment.]
“Concealment wasn’t a skill I wanted……!”
One could arbitrarily make skills? Anyway, this was something he didn’t learn yesterday. Yu IlHan perked up his ears and walked. New stimulation. New information. They were all things that he loved.
Anyway, the results.
“In the end, who was ‘Empress’?”
“Nobody knows. Does that make sense? It’s the sole Sung U’s person who flew her name for 10 years in Lanpas, and we don’t know.”
“But wouldn’t we know if monsters appear?”
“I don’t know. Maybe she would wear a mask again.”
He learnt that there was a woman called ‘Empress’ who showed mighty ability in the other world in his university, and.
“When would dungeons appear?”
“Even if it appears, you wouldn’t be able to go in, I think. There’s a level requirement. What level are you?”
“Level 7.”
“I’m level 4.”
“Huu.”
“Sh*t……”
