「Ring of affection and obsession」
Grants a percentage buff to all characters based on one person’s affinity for another person.
A true story-level item equivalent to Tier 1 of “Velvet School Life!”
It was clear that it was such a huge item that the future operation of the ga would depend on whether or not you get it.
Otherwise, no matter how thoroughly I prepared, I would not have gone on an expedition into the dangerous Jukai Forest.
‘However······. How did this happen?’
Imdiately after putting on the ring.
From noble mtl dot com
I couldn’t help but feel absurd.
Tiring─♬
《You are wearing the “Ring of Affection and Obsession.” Ability enhancents are given to those you have affinity for. 》
Because there were so strange people in the target group.
《 Applicable 》
【 Lee Yuri 】 – 4%
【 Kang Do-hee 】 – 4%
【 Lim Ga-eul 】 – 4%
【 Sophia 】 – 4%
【 Shin Se-hee 】 – 4%
【 Ichika 】 – 3%
To be honest, I thought it would be great even if it only applied to Sophia.
However, it went one step further and applied to Shin Se-hee, who was not a combat professional, and Ichika, who had not yet officially joined the team.
Well, there’s nothing you can’t understand up to this point.
In any case, Shin Se-hee was not only a combat worker, but also an original mber of Utopia
It doesn’t make sense at all if you think of it as a system where Ichika is automatically included in the party if you survive.
However.
【 Baek Seol-hee 】 – 4%
【 Lina 】 – 3%
It was truly unexpected for these two people’s nas to appear.
‘Eh······? Master and Chairman Lina? Why are these two…’
As soon as I think of that, Chairman Rina’s na starts blinking.
Soon her na was completely erased from the list.
‘······What is it?’
I couldn’t help but think like that while scratching my head.
With such a strange feeling, I submitted the request completion form to the Japanese Hunter Managent Headquarters.
It was midnight when I returned to Velvet Academy.
First, while dispersing the probably exhausted party mbers and giving a brief briefing to Shin Se-hee.
“Disciple, I have sothing important to say.”
The teacher in question ca to visit .
“Please follow for a mont.”
Jerbeok─
Jerbeok─
I thought as I walked behind Master in uncomfortable silence.
‘Sohow, it feels like it’s been a long ti since I last saw you… ‘
Originally, during sumr vacation, Master would often watch the training,
As her personal duties increased, that promise could not be kept.
So I was happy…
The way she walks ahead is different from usual. And it felt like her breathing, which was always quiet, beca slightly rougher.
‘Are you angry…?’
Sohow, I felt like her displeasure was being conveyed to .
‘Why are you angry? Oh, really…?’
What flashed through my mind at that ti were Kang Do-hee’s words that he had asked earlier with a complicated expression.
─ Yellowy, this… What happened? Suddenly my strength beca stronger…
She asked about the ring that suddenly appeared on her finger and the increased strength.
And I explained it to him as it was.
─ Yes, it is the effect of the artifact. Chemistry with , um, I an. It is an item that has the deceptive effect of increasing all abilities of people who are deeply related to . I’m glad it seems to apply to everyone.
Although he said that to the party mbers as if he were bragging.
It occurred to that the reactions were surprisingly complex and subtle.
At that ti, I realized again.
The fact that this is not a ga but reality.
Clearly, the “Ring of Love and Obsession” Is sothing gars can’t miss.
It was an item that had to be grabbed.
Realistically accepting this is another matter.
‘I didn’t realize that people might not be happy about their abilities suddenly being strengthened by artifacts.’
The abilities strengthened by the artifact are not powers obtained through one’s own efforts.
Therefore, for a type like Kang Do-hee who is very proud of the power he has built up, this could have hurt his pride.
‘Of course, if I were asked to choose again, I would make the sa choice again…’
Considering what would happen in the future, it was clear that our utopia needed greater power than it does now.
In any case, Kang Do-hee’s case was a little better.
We conquered Jukai’s Forest together, and we had the justification of being rewarded for that attack.
But, what about the teacher?
A sudden increase in strength for no reason.
Could soone like you just accept that as a good thing?
‘······No, that can’t be possible.’
Stand tall.
Baek Seol-hee, who had been walking in silence for a while, stopped her steps and turned her body to look at .
Then she suddenly held out her hand with a ring on it.
“What happened to this?”
“······That’s it.”
I told her everything as honestly as I could.
Things that happened in Jukai Forest.
I t a new special person, Ichika. She fought the apostle of Incubus and obtained the ring, etc.
“·····So, with that demon item, you give the people who are deeply related to you as much power as the thought you have for them…”
“Yes, I have deep respect for you, Master, so I think that’s how it happened. “I am truly sorry for doing this without consent.”
Flinch─
Baek Seol-hee’s body her her her trembled at the word’respect.’
However, imdiately the cold wind beca a blowing atmosphere again.
Jin Yu-ha thought that Baek Seol-hee was repulsed by the power that suddenly arose without any compensation, but the reality was different.
Because there was a price.
That’s Jin Yuha’s heart.
He says he will give his disciple strength as much as he likes him, so there is no way he would refuse that.
What was complicating Baek Seol-hee’s mind right now was a completely different reason.
That is, Chairman Lina.
A mont ago, Chairman Lina held out her finger with proud expression, and the words she said did not leave her mind.
‘······7%’
That ans, in Jin Yu-ha’s mind, Chairman Lina holds a whopping 3% higher stake than him!
Baek Seol-hee gritted her teeth.
‘······Chairman Lina didn’t really do anything for you.’
For so reason, I felt unfair.
What kind of trick did she pull to win that much of her student’s heart without even showing her face her her her her?
Is it because her personality is not one of those things?
No.
If you think about it, Chairman Lina was also far from being sassy.
Rather, it was closer to the whiny and nervous side.
At that ti, one word ca into Baek Seol-hee’s mind
‘······No way, money?’
Money.
Yes.
If you think about it, when Jin Yuha needs money or an item, he doesn’t ask for help. I always visited Chairman Rina.
‘Subspace tattoos, mansions, and recently, tickets to the Haeundae Festival… !’
Softly─
My clenched fist was shaking.
‘That damn fox. Buying a disciple’s favor with money…’
In an instant, Lina’s title changed from her director’s na her to damn fox.
Because she didn’t say it out loud, no one knew.
“Is there anything you need?”
Baek Seol-hee asked Jin Yu-ha in a suppressed voice.
I want to take a higher stake than Lina’s stake.
“······Yes? “Do you need blood?”
“Yes, I have received a gift so great that it is difficult to asure, so shouldn’t I give sothing in return?”
“Gwae, it’s okay! “I did sothing one-sided in a way that the teacher didn’t want, but I’m not shaless enough to expect sothing in return.”
Jin Yuha said so,
In Baek Seol-hee’s eyes, she could only see the image of a poor student who had already been deceived by Chairman Lina’s financial power.
“······I see.”
“Yes, so it’s really okay.”
Kuuk.
Baek Seol-hee gently bit her lip and turned back.
“See you in class soon.”
Jin Yu-ha, who did not know the aning of her words as if to wait and see, just swallowed her saliva.
‘I’m going to show you hell in the next class so be prepared…?’
* * *
The next day,
Ichika made up for the lack of sleep with Velvet Hunter Academy’s technology, regained her energy, and beca a plump face.
She had a one-on-one eting with Shin Se-hee separately.
It was to finish the story I couldn’t finish the day before.
“Mr. Ichika.”
Whoop
Shin Se-hee sipped her coffee and looked at Ichika over the teacup.
“Yes.”
“I heard she is coming to Utopia.”
“That’s right.”
“Before entering Utopia, Ichika must first change his affiliation to Velvet Hunter Academy. Do you agree with that?”
“Yes, I agree.”
Shin Se-hee took out several of her docunts and laid them out in front of her.
“Then there is sothing I need to check before that. By any chance, are you currently a mber of the Japanese Hunter Managent Headquarters? Or, have you ever belonged?”
Then Ichika shook her head.
“No, I only lived in Jukai Forest right after awakening.”
“Hmm, then the Japanese Hunter Managent Center doesn’t even know that Mr. Ichika is an awakened person?”
“······Perhaps?”
“Then things will be easier. If he was part of the Japanese Hunter Headquarters, he would have a lot to offer, but that’s not the case, and he doesn’t even know about his awakening… Well, I guess it’s possible. ······As a Japanese citizen living abroad, would you be okay with returning to Korea this year?”
“Yeah, it doesn’t matter.”
Nod.
Ichika quietly nods her head.
‘At first, I expected it to be a difficult conversation…’
Surprisingly, things beca easier when she ca forward with an attitude of accepting everything.
‘What kind of person is this?’
First of all, we have obtained information that he is obsessed with Jin Yu-ha.
‘Then, shall I take a stab at it…?’
If you poke it once and see the reaction, you can judge how to treat it in the future.
Shin Se-hee put the papers aside and leaned forward as if she was done talking about work.
“Hey, Ichika.”
“Yes.”
“Could you please tell what percentage it is?”
Direct straight.
You probably don’t know what this question ans.
‘Indeed, what should I answer?’
“3.”
From noble mtl dot com
Ichika’s response was imdiate.
Shin Se-hee stared at Ichika.
Ichika looked at Shin Se-hee with the sa expressionless expression as before.
‘······I don’t think it’s a lie. Thank god. Still, I am higher than Ichika.’
Shin Se-hee, like the other party mbers, sighed in relief.
“Hmm, this makes wonder how much other people have as well…”
It was so small that even the person in front of couldn’t hear it,
Ichika reacted imdiately.
“Do you want to know?”
“······Yes?”
“How much have other people risen?”
“······Oh, do you know?”
“Yes, I already know everything. “These kids told .”
Slurring─
Shadows suddenly erged from beneath Ichika’s feet.
“······!”
Shin Se-hee’s eyes widened when she saw Ichika’s abilities for the first ti.
“I think I should probably beco friends with that person.”
“······Yes?”
“He’s the type that would be tiring if you had him as an enemy.”
“······You have a good feeling?”
“Huh. So, bribe.”
And the bribe was truly effective for Shin Se-hee.
Sigh─
Shin Se-hee raised the corner of her mouth and held out her hand.
“The deal is done. Mr. Ichika. I think we can beco good friends in the future.”
“Good.”
Ichikawa Shin Se-hee held hands.
