Chapter 110: Perception Change (2)
Are you serious about what you just said? Its not something I can take lightly.
Of course.
Lee Shiheon is stronger than you?
Jung Siwoos firm answer made Isabella listen intently.
Ive been watching him for a long time, and I must say
Isabella ran her fingernail across the coffee cup on the table and asked him. Her sharp, passionate eyes seemed to penetrate Jung Siwoos soul.
From what Ive seen, you always undervalue your own talent and overestimate others. I know that well.
Yes.
Thats why I find it hard to believe what you just said.
Jung Siwoo.
Isabella had met him four years ago. It was when she went for volunteer work as a nun.
Her role was to propagate the teachings of the World Tree at the military academy and educate the students. She remembered having a tough time because of Jung Siwoo back then.
-You didnt attend my class again.
-Im sorry.
-What are you doing locked up in the training room instead of attending classes?
Jung Siwoo, a student at the military academy, was a handful always skipping class but inevitably found in the training room.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Isabella had to deliver the World Trees message. Thus, she inevitably became entangled with Jung Siwoo during her service.
They clashed a lot, and strangely enough, they became close. Isabella often played the role of his counselor.
After the volunteer period, they reverted to just occasional contacts, but both were aware of their close friendship.
Jung Siwoo was now undoubtedly one of the best talents. But it wasnt always so.
Youre too modest.
Before becoming a candidate for the World Trees husband, Jung Siwoo was just an ordinary man, not nobility, not a tree, just a human male striving hard.
Isabella, who had observed him since then, knew.
Jung Siwoos efforts were worth rewarding.
Sigh.
Now, he seemed nothing more than a silly oaf kicking a pumpkin that had rolled to his feet.
Alright. Lee Shiheon Ill keep that in mind.
The person recommended by Jung Siwoo, who was a man of great capacity.
Hoping the adage Birds of a feather flock together held true, Isabella forcefully swallowed her words.
Status window.
It had been a while since I last opened the status window.
As soon as I uttered the words, instead of the translucent status window, severe pain assaulted me.
[ Main Quest 3: To Higher Places. ]
[ Your current rank: 35th ]
.
.
.
[ Quest failed. A penalty will be applied! ]
I staggered!
ThudI fell forward, my heart searing with pain. It hurt.
Desperately, I shattered the status window while maintaining my prone position, focusing all my attention.
[ Temporary disconnection from the World Tree. ]
The pain began to fade. My heart, which had been squeezed tight as though it would burst, barely held on.
Damn it.
A translucent thread of spit fell from my mouth. The sudden pain was impossible to ignore.
The overflowing mana in my body was rendered useless.
Lying there, I wiped away the sweat and forced myself to stand.
Baekdo was standing there, staring at me with a blank expression.
What are you doing?
I nearly died. When I opened the status window, a penalty struck me.
You should have just died.
That was quite harsh.
Cradling my internally wounded heart, I climbed onto the bed, feeling a severe stiffness in my shoulders.
After a few minutes, the status window reappeared.
Status window.
This time it was fine.
I scanned the window that materialized before my eyes.

Clatter, clatter.
I knew I could abuse it if I desired.
-Be more ruthless.
Cheondos words suddenly echoed in my ears as if she were speaking directly to me.
-If you have the ability, use it, you foolish disciple.
Thats true.
Not using it out of fear was just as foolish.
With just a glance, I brought back the affinity system I hadnt used in a while.
Opaque fragments gathered before my eyes, forming a window.

A long window.
Reading through it, my gaze was drawn to one particular area.
The sudden rise of Jung Siwoo.
Honestly, I hadnt expected it, thinking it wasnt anything unusual.
But what really caught my attention, making me doubt my eyes, was:
Hwangdo: (93/100)
Jin Dallae: (93/100)
Why did noona and her suddenly rise?
Hwangdo, whom I hadnt been able to talk to recently, and Jin Dallae, aside from the gift after the exam, I hadnt had much interaction with.
I casually checked their information.
Name/Gender: Hwangdo (Female)
Age/Height: 25/167cm
Sex Fantasy: Sister and brother slave play
Romance Fantasy: Long embrace on a hot summer day.
Current Status (Additional): Jealousy, temporary affinity amplification.
Name/Gender: Jin Dallae (Female)
Age/Height: 20/165 cm
Sex Fantasy: Spanking.
Romance Fantasy: A day at the zoo with a loved man.
Current Status (Additional): Obsession, temporary affinity amplification.
What is this?
Jealousy. The meaning behind that word.
Obsession. A sudden emotional change.
The girls current state was described with words that seemed self-explanatory.
I floundered, failing to understand the reasons.
The women around me seemed to be changing their perception of me.
Setting Hwangdo aside, had I ever flirted with Jin Dallae?
I would send her messages out of the blue. When she looked troubled, I joined her for drinks and gave her a slap on the cheek to help her snap out of it.
We went to the zoo with Shiba. At the academy, we were like close friends, often together for assignments.
Ah.
I had thought Jin Dallae was merely fixated on the position of a friend.
Having lost her father early and failing to find someone to share her emotions with properly, I thought I should at least belatedly take on the role of a friend.
But now, could it be?
-Umm, ooh!
Then, a vibration came from my left pocket.
My heart thudded.
I swallowed and turned off the gas stove first. Then I took out my phone.
A three-letter name flashed across the phones messenger screen.
Thats when it happened.
Little Brother.
The deep voice came from behind me.
Sister, long time no see.
Creak, creakmy neck turned unnaturally. I caught a glimpse of Hwangdos face.
Baekdo is planning to have a meal with Master would you like to join us?
Baekdo just fell asleep.
That cant be
Hwangdo, who hadnt shown herself since the night I stayed up with Baekdo, looked at me with eyes filled with myriad thoughts.
Little Brother.
She smiled.
Cheondo is also asleep.
The traces of mana on the surface of her skin were faint, but I could feel them.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
