After Returning, My Abilities are Infinite - Chapter 10

Be Good to You (1)

[It would be better to apply for new training methods.]

“… A new training method?”

I was struggling at the training ground alone at dawn when the traveler said that.

I wiped the sweat dripping down into my eyes and moved my gaze towards him.

[Okay. It’s a little inefficient for users of Akashic Records to draw power by communicating only with beings in their memory.]

“… Hmm, is it? I thought it would be enough to use only those I know.”

[You act like a frog in the well. It’s time to communicate appropriately.]

Is it?

‘Communication and Sharing’ has not been used appropriately.

I have never spoken to other world beings except for the traveler.

“… Um, but when should I use the ones I received as a reward before that?”

[The skill evolution zone is still very early to write. None of your skills are good enough to promote you to the top.]

I thought it would be good to evolve the sword skill obtained from the Goblin Slayer.

Maybe the traveler had bigger goals than I had. Well, the bigger, the better.

“Then, this roulette item…”

[Let’s save it too. This is the best variable when you are still low on risk.]

“It sounds like you shouldn’t use it all right now. I’m a little sorry. “

[There will be a place to use it later.]

“What… Then, as you said, there’s nothing else I need to do except to use communication and sharing. I already finished today’s training.”

[Okay. How long are you going to link with the ones that remain in memory?]

“Yes, Yes. It would be good to try it.”

It’s better to try one thing first.

‘Look at what function you have before that.’

T-ring!

A transparent notification window was floating in the air. I was staring at the part that said ‘Akasik Record’.

“Read information.”

[The target information is retrieved based on the record of the Akashic record.]

I was looking at the part that said ‘Communication and Sharing’ below.

[Communication and sharing]

[→ This is the ability included in the ‘Akasik Record’.]

[→ Communicate by connecting spirits with other beings. You can share a lot with the person you communicate with.]

[→ In order to communicate with the high-ranking beings by accumulating karma, the user must also achieve that level.]

[→ There are great, hero, legendary (??) and mythological grades.]

[* The rating of the archetype record is very low.]

[* The spirit is very low.]

[* The current communication level is ‘Great’.]

[* You can’t communicate with three or more entities at once because of the low level of personality. (Currently communicating: Traveler)]

“… It explains very specifically.”

I nodded my head, reading the explanations in front of me.

As it is, my level was still too low to utilize the full force.

Eventually, I will be able to use it infinitely as I grow.

‘… It’s mythical. ‘

What kind of beings can you bring the power of?

Speaking of what people call myths, there were a few that came to mind.

The gods of thunder in Northern Europe, or the Greek three-week god.

‘What… You can’t really be able to bring such power. ‘

No way, you can’t have the power of such gods.

‘But there will be no use in being a great power.’

It is greed to want something too big.

Rather than thinking about gaining more, my first priority was to utilize what I have now where I can.

“Communication and sharing.”

For that, first of all, I had to try it out.

[You used ‘Communication and Sharing’]

[It faces great stories that wander the dimension.]

[Currently, the soul is very low.]

[Currently, the grade of the trait is very low.]

[There is a limit to who can communicate.]

As I said the word, many transparent windows in front of my eyes came up.

[Randomly selects one of the floating souls.]

[You have successfully communicated.]

Soon, the transparent windows disappeared, and a strange sight began to unfold.

“Look at your opponent and keep your eyes on the edge of the sword.”

A man dressed in full body armor resembling a medieval knight appeared with a terrified boy standing behind him.

“Whatever the case, the knight should not step back.”

Ten knights in black armor surrounded those two.

“For the Master, you must be able to give up your life without hesitation.”

The man in armor took a sword without hesitation. He stood boldly in front of the boy despite the threatening situation.

[The Valorous Empire’s Valorous Knight]

[His saga, fighting for the young lord by fighting back without hesitation at the face of ten knights, continues to linger among the knights even after a long time.]

[His story was loved by knights who believed in honor.]

[You have succeeded in communicating with a great person.]

The young master was trembling from behind, his breathing rapid, the dust tasting bitter in his mouth.

The black armor worn by the enemies shone vividly, their glowering eyes peeking through the visor’s gaps. The metal clanged, and the sun burned from above.

My feelings overcame me like a tide.

『It’s a strange young man.』

I was enjoying myself when a thick voice rang in my head.

“You brought up an old man who couldn’t walk properly and asked you to tell a story that you won’t even remember.”

I instinctively knew that the voice came from that brave armor man.

Threung.

The nearest black knight struck his sword.

The flash of the sword blinded my eyes.

“So, you can think that it was a miracle to get the sword.”

Chaeng!

Swords clashed against each other.

It felt like I was watching a movie, all the experiences and sensations seeping into my body.

No. It was as if I was the main character in the story.

[The bond with the valiant knight of the Valstaya Empire increases.]

[The more you immerse in a story, the more you feel immersed.]

[If you build more than a certain bond, you will meet the terms of use of ‘Link’.]

* * *

“Oh… It will be difficult.”

[What’s hard?]

“Because it’s different from normal muscle pain, it doesn’t relieve in one day.”

I was walking in the hallway talking to a traveler.

After finishing the new training method he proposed yesterday, I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

And when I woke up, the sun was high up in the sky.

If today wasn’t a weekend, I would have been in trouble.

Fortunately, the Academy’s formal classes were held on weekdays only, and the weekends were left to the students.

Freedom to go out, to rest, and train.

Thanks to that, I was able to move more leisurely than usual.

[You said you won’t skip training, so you have to do it today. No matter how hard it is, you know?]

“Of course I do. But first, I’m going to eat something and think. How many hours was I starving as I slept?”

The routine started with rice.

It was a little uncomfortable to skip breakfast and jump straight to lunch, but what could I do?

It’s wrong to wake up late.

“Oh …!”

I was heading to the cadet restaurant when a sound from somewhere caught my attention.

Moaning, as if someone was in severe pain.

As I focused on the sound, I heard it clearly.

A dull low, a continuous sound …

[Someone getting beat up. It sounds like three people are beating one.]

“Can you guess that?”

[When I was in Moorim, I could tell who was who from the sound. This is easy.]

That is also a magical talent.

With that thought in mind, I walked toward the sound.

The closer it got, the more clearly the voices were heard.

‘I don’t know what kind of talent there might be, but it would be a waste to quit the academy because of bullying.’

I would have had enough talent to come to Hyeonyeon. Still, if I could at least save a single useful hunter, it meant something.

“What trick did you use? Let’s share it.”

“Is it so hard to tell that? Huh?”

[Women are scarier than men.]

All three who were beating were schoolgirls wearing the robes of cadets of magic departments.

Sighing, I approached them.

A woman of the same age was crouching and crying in front of them.

I tried to say something.

By the way…

‘… Huh?’

It was a  familiar face.

No, it wasn’t just familiar.

It was the face that I was surprised to see just a few days ago.

“I wasn’t really using any tricks…”

She replied in a weak voice as she hunched her shoulders and blinked her pained light purple eyes.

[Isn’t that the girl you met a few days ago?]

It was Yoo Ji-Yeon who was being bullied.

* * *

“It’s been a long time since he contacted Hyun-suk.”

“Hyun-suk? I didn’t know that he got a job as an instructor at the Academy after injuring his leg.”

“uh. You went to Hyeonyeon.”

“What happened all this time? Have a drink. “

The man smoked as he spoke.

Park Hyun-suk and he have been close friends for quite some time.

Though Park Hyun-suk was promoted to a second-class hunter, his friend remained a third-class hunter, but their friendship did not fade. They often met up to chat over a drink.

“No, not that.”

“Then, why?”

“I have a kid in my cadet who asked me if I can lend a measuring instrument.”

“Well, the academy measuring equipment would be enough for a cadet, so why does he need to borrow ours?”

The man shook his head.

“He said he was awakened.”

“… Reawakening?”

“Uh. In reawakening, skills increase fast … Perhaps, it’s more accurate to do it with our own than to measure it with academy equipment.

“Right.”

They were active third-class hunters, but they also belonged to the ‘Guild’ and played a role as scouts.

They were in a position to use at will measuring equipment, which was incomparable to that of the Academy.

“Well… If Hyun-Suk asks, I will listen. Let’s go to Hyeonyeon. Anyway, it’s time to go back to the Academy.”

“Yes, yes.”

Whoo …

The man smoked once more.

“Well, I’m a little worried that he asked.”

His face changed slightly.

“How would you feel if a kid  about whom you were never interested in, suddenly asks to borrow your measuring instrument?”

“If Hyun-suk asks, it would be a guaranteed cadet.”

Chijik.

He dropped the cigarette on the floor.

“Well, if you go and measure it, you know it.”

The man stepped on the end of the cigarette, putting it out.

“If you can clearly see an improvement, you should advance them. I don’t have enough kids to use these days.”

Then he pulled out his cell phone and started calling.

“Uh. Do you have a meter over there? And a gel used to apply? If I put it in my name, there won’t be a problem…”

This turn of events was intriguing.
