Regressor Instruction Manual-Chapter 802: The Last (35)
Chapter 802: The Last (35)
At a glance, I could even see the ecstasy in her eyes, and her face was so unusual that I wondered if she was transforming into Doom Ye-ri.
I didn’t know what to say. The pleasure was evident in her expression.
She was biting her lips tightly and seemed to be acting, but the way she started to smile told me that Kim Ye-ri was enjoying the situation right now.
-Trash! Trash!
Poke! Poke!
‘She’s really going to be crooked. Do something about our kid. Seriously, she resembles someone. Fuck.’
There was probably so much she had kept in.
She would have felt like all the circumstances surrounding her were bothersome, so it was understandable for her to be pissed off.
She would have been bothered for being forced to help with the training, about the dispute over the ownership of my body, the anomaly occurring on the continent, the incomprehensible behavior of Cho Hyejin, and Kim Hyunsung’s journey. I could guarantee that she wouldn’t have liked anything about all of this.
All the guild members would feel the same, but she wasn’t happy with the guild’s changed environment, as she especially liked to hang around with guild members.
‘Besides…’
I was sure the idea of losing what she originally had was playing a part in that. Kim Ye-ri was from a slum and had lived quite harshly.
In summary, it didn’t feel strange that she exploded like that.
That was why she probably needed someone to blame… The Song Villan, who just appeared, got on her bad side. Of course, she could only be seen as displaying rude behavior. Cho Hyejin, watching her, looked a little more anxious than Kim Ye-ri, who was venting out her anger.
Right now, the New Continental Protection and Management Committee was wary of Kim Hyunsung, but they wouldn’t want to disagree with the core figures of the group, which could be said to be the center of the continent.
-I apologize on her behalf. She didn’t mean anything bad by that.
There was no way that would be comforting. Song Sookyung’s face crumpled.
In fact, I couldn’t blame her. It was an undeniable fact that he was trash.
No, maybe he was satisfied with it. Even though it was a mock battle, Kim Ye-ri and the Song Villain completed the given mission and somehow succeeded in completing the quest.
Wouldn’t it be meaningful to him that he broke through the mission itself? The problem was that it was C-grade at max.
I wasn’t proud, but I thought I would have received an SSS-grade easily if I was the one that conducted a mock battle with Kim Ye-ri.
Since she had sparred with Park Deokgu and Ahn Ki-mo, Kim Ye-ri would be aware of that.
-Sigh… Sigh… Sigh…
She finally breathed in. After shaking her head and getting her dagger, she left the quest location. As it wasn’t common for her to reveal emotions, she had a blank look on her face.
She might be happy inside that she gave a blow, but she was walking as if nothing had happened.
The Song Villain was speechless, and Cho Hyejin kept covering for Kim Ye-ri next to him. Meanwhile, Ye-ri returned with dignity. Since the mock battle was over, they had to take a briefing and provide feedback, but the awkward atmosphere didn’t even allow it.
It was Song Sookyung who got back to his senses quickly. He understood that he wasn’t in a position to be disappointed, and he once again displayed a smile on his face.
I didn’t know if he thought he should show the elders generosity at times like this, but whatever the reason, he seemed to have regained his calm quickly.
-Ye-ri.
-…
-Just now…
She didn’t finish talking, but she did something rude, so she should apologize, right? She seemed to be trying to say that.
-Ah!
-It’s fine, Cho Hyejin. You don’t have to.
-You heard.
-Yes.
-I thought the connection was cut off when the mission ended. Sorry. I didn’t know.
-…
-Kim Ye-ri.
-Really. I didn’t know you would listen. If I knew you were watching, I wouldn’t have acted like that.
The way she was grinning seemed to be provoking him.
I knew because I had done it a lot, openly protesting with a face that said, ‘I don’t like you, and I hope you’re offended.’
Honestly, I didn’t expect her to do that much.
‘A monster raised by Blue. Fuck.’
-Haha… It’s fine. I also know I was terrible…
-You are. More than terrible, actually.
-…
-Unnie, It’s better for this person if we are honest with him. I’m not being impolite or rude. This is training, after all. He needs honest feedback.
I remembered the long training session she had with Park Deokgu when she dealt damage like a bamboo spear.
-Yes. Kim Ye-ri’s right. It would be more helpful, to be honest. I didn’t call precious guests to get false compliments.
-First.
-…
-Your field of view is too narrow. I can predict why you wanted this, and basically, you lack the talent and competence to do it. Your speed of processing information is so slow that you are always late by one beat, half a beat, two beats, three beats. Your ability to see the battlefield is also too weak. What was Song Sookyung doing in the Continental War, the Republic War, and the 27th Legion War?
-…
-Uncle Kiyoung commanded both big and small battles and the world wars. The experience he gained from running directly with his body and vomiting blood is by no means something that can be obtained in a short period of time. No matter how much data you accumulate and how many tactics you squeeze out based on it, it’s impossible to control the battlefield that changes real-time unless the experience to make decisive judgments is supported. That’s not something that can be obtained from a small clan or guild.
‘Why are you losing the honorifics?’
I felt her willingness to remain very disrespectful.
-…
-That’s what a person with genius abilities can do with his accumulated experience, even if it meant abandoning his body. Had it been possible for an ordinary and inexperienced person to get help from artifacts or auxiliary tools, everyone on the continent would have been able to do something similar to what uncle did. Your lack of understanding of the battlefield isn’t the only problem. It is also evident that your experience of running with your body directly is insufficient. I feel a little sorry for you, but this is your fault. It’s not a problem that can be overcome in a short period.
-Yeah…
-I just explained the major problem from the mock battle. In detail, as mentioned earlier, your field of view is too narrow. The uncle made me feel like he was looking at the battlefield from above. It was an ability close to foreseeing the future. It was as if he was watching the entire warzone like it was a single picture.
Kim Ye-ri unsheathed a dagger and drew a line after opening the map.
-The whole north.
Until I saw the scene unfolding before me, I thought that Elios, who Elena had beaten, was the most pitiful.
‘He won’t want to live…’
-The range that you just used in the mock battle at max is just at the Metropolitan level. Hyunsung oppa can move beyond the whole northern region. I don’t understand why you’re doing this just to use it in one big city. How can you fit an ocean in a cup? If you want my honest judgment, let me tell you this: it will not help your rise to power. Oh, there is one more problem with your vision. You don’t understand how other occupations or named enemy soldiers move. I don’t know how uncle Kiyoung could do that. He knew about the movements, skills, habits, and intentions of Hyunsung oppa’s enemies.
-…
-There was no error. I felt like he was grasping everything without exception. He was in a realm of talent where he can grasp all the variables even though he’s not a melee fighter or someone who made a living through wars. He had a good eye for details, and even that was unique to him. I’m not in a position to criticize anyone trying to close that gap with effort, but he reached an area of talent that nobody else can reach.
‘Thank you, Mind’s Eyes.’
-…
-Song Sookyung of the New Continental Protection and Management Committee doesn’t even understand me properly. I didn’t reveal some stats and abilities to you for that reason. I really didn’t want to tell you, but I told you because you are trying to do something so impossible. And the result, well…
-Yeah…
-You don’t know what I can do, and you don’t understand at all what it’s like for an adventurer who has reached the peak to fight sincerely. I trusted you to risk being crippled by a cutthroat or having your arm cut off. It was just a mock battle, but I entrusted my life to you. You nearly died exactly three times. If it had been a real battle, you would have been rendered half-disabled. There is no way you, who can be said to be a downgraded version of him, can understand Hyusung oppa, whom even I do not understand.
-That’s…
It was then that there was a change in his expression.
-Am I wrong?
Kim Ye-ri talked a lot after so long. Seemingly certain of what she said, she looked at Song Sookyung with an expressionless face.
I saw the Song Villain nodding for now, but I also didn’t think he felt convinced.
He couldn’t say anything right now, but it could only be explained that her saying that he didn’t understand Kim Hyunsung properly was just to piss him off.
Suppose someone told Pope Basel right now that he didn’t really understand Benignore.
I could bet that the next morning their neck would be hung over the square of the capital.
Telling him that he wouldn’t be able to understand our regressor had the same gravity.
It seemed that our quick-witted kiddo realized what would trigger him. The way she kept constantly speaking, seemingly committed to getting on his nerves, was out of the ordinary.
Even while giving feedback on small moves or small orders, the finish was always…
-There is no way you can understand. You won’t be able to understand.
It didn’t take long before the smile disappeared from Song Sookyung’s face, who had made up his mind to study.
He looked like he accepted her words externally, but what he was thinking was obvious.
As if Ye-ri entered the mode, ‘you think what you want, but I’ll keep talking,’ she still didn’t stop.
-You will be able to see the effects in small battles if you target an ordinary party or clan, to some extent… but I can’t even imagine you reaching a level beyond that. What you’re trying to do is absolutely impossible unless you are reborn. Every word I’ll utter from here on out will be based on the statistics compiled by the Blue Guild itself. Originally, it was confidential, but training requires feedback… This has to be revealed because you’re an important New Continental Protection and Management Committee figure.
Anxiety lay in Cho Hyejin’s face. She was probably wondering what she was trying to say.
She glared at Kim Ye-ri for a moment, but she spoke as if she didn’t care.
Cho Hyejin, who tried to keep her in check, didn’t stop her, thinking that Ye-ri would be able to distinguish between what she should say and what she shouldn’t say, as she had a rough grasp over how the guild worked.
-Uncle Kiyoung maintained a connection with Hyunsung, and while maintaining that connection, how many people do you think he sent missions to in the northern battle alone?
-…
-Exactly 5,421 people. 712 priests. 831 wizards. Even the Black Swan’s Park Yeon-joo unnie, the named ones of the continents, and the State’s eight seats, also received individual missions.
‘That much?’
I didn’t remember well. It probably wasn’t that much. She was probably exaggerating a bit.
-While he maintained the connection with Hyunsung-nim, he kept the battlefield under control to allow the Guild Master to focus only on his mission. What do you think is the reason that was possible?
-…
-Until now, I talked about talent, but… in fact, I don’t think something so out of this world would be possible just because he’s a genius. Lee Kiyoung, no…
-…
-Kiyoung oppa…
‘I’ve become an oppa, too.’
-He was chosen by the gods. I think that’s why it was possible.
The time to give feedback turned into a time to show off Lee Kiyoung. I could see Song Sookyung holding on with his lips tightly bitten. He seemed to be holding himself back, trying not to get angered.
Kim Ye-ri meant that I was chosen by Benignore, but it seemed like he thought that I was chosen by Kim Hyunsung.
I could feel him gradually sinking. I wasn’t connected to him, but it was like I could see his emotions descending to rock bottom.
I thought it was too early, but I spoke to him again.
-…
“…”
-…
“You want the same thing as what Lee Kiyoung had.”
