I Found the Regressor With My Reflexes

16 – Breaking into the 1st floor

A tailing situation.

It was a time when an explanation was needed… Of course, Seoyeon Han was indifferent, so I had to step in.

‘How to do it.’

The head, which rotated several times faster than in the elevator before, found a way out.

“Seola!”

Looking for Seol-i with the utmost pleasure and exaggeration.

“Yes?”

“I wondered where he went!”

I approached Seol-i, who was looking surprised at her unexpected behavior, and pulled her hand.

“I was looking for it, but it wasn’t there, so Seoyeon helped me.”

“…Seoyeon?”

“Yes. Can I talk to you for a minute? Ah, Mr. Seonhwa, can I borrow your New Year’s Eve for a bit?”

“Uh…yes….”

After roughly separating Lee Seon-hwa, he grabbed Seol-i’s wrist and left.

As she walked aimlessly, she saw a bench illuminated by a street lamp, and decided to sit there.

Because the atmosphere looks good.

“Brother? Why am I…”

“No, I haven’t been able to talk properly lately.”

“…That’s right.”

“We were both busy.”

Then Seol-i glanced over at me.

“Your brother seems to have changed his clothes too.”

“I’ve been busy with training, so I changed it now.”

“Did Seoyeon pick it for you?”

… Seoyeon gave her zen tights.

Of course, I couldn’t say that, so I roughly said that I chose it.

Come to think of it, Seol-i also changed her clothes.

“When did you change?”

“Chi, I’ve been changing since the first day in the waiting room.”

“Really? No what…I didn’t know.”

“You must have been so busy that you didn’t know.”

I kept my mouth shut at the words of Seol-i who attacked me with an excuse earlier.

It’s true that I didn’t even go to see Seol-yi for training.

Seol came to visit often.

Is that why?

Suddenly, Seol-i made a mischievous expression.

And the words that follow.

“Brother. Can I use my superpowers on that brother?”

“What?”

“Eight.”

Seol-i came with her arms spread wide open.

Usually, I wouldn’t have taken it too seriously.

Is it because I talked about the future Seol-yi with Han Seo-yeon earlier?

I suddenly felt an emergency.

[Reflection (F) -＞ Reflection (E)]

And.

“….”

“….”

“Did you do it?”

“Ahahahaha…just kidding.”

It was Seol who said it with a smile as if it was embarrassing.

I was dumbfounded.

Like Seol-i said it was a joke, Seol-i’s ability didn’t even activate, but my level suddenly went up.

… Could it be that I feel a sense of crisis?

It’s not particularly strange, considering that my ability is activated automatically in a crisis.

‘I thought you were writing for real.’

I was very surprised to think that the domination had been released more than anything else.

“Brother, if you are dominated by me, that day is the end.”

“What if I dominate?”

“Hmm, making them do housework…?”

“That’s so heinous.”

It’s not that I don’t believe Seol-yi, but… It’s a bit different to release control with your own hands and use it on me.

Perhaps it was a possible action because I had no intention of using a superpower just now.

Well, anyway, it’s good that my abilities have been enhanced.

I’ll check the performance later.

… Now it’s time to bring up the subject I’ve been thinking about.

“Seola.”

“Yes?”

I carefully ask Seol-i, who is still smiling brightly.

“How is your work going?”

“Uh…yes. In my own way.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes.”

A moment of silence came.

Seeing her suddenly restless expression, it didn’t seem like a good place to talk.

“If it goes well later, tell me.”

“…Yes.”

“I won’t really care until then.”

Isn’t it manners to pretend not to know the surprise?

Although it could be a bad thing.

“You’re not just trying to do something bad, are you?”

“No! Seoyeon’s kendo didn’t respond either…Ah.”

“Heh heh heh.”

“No, I mean…I will…”

If it were Han Seo-yeon’s sword, it would be one that glows when an evil enemy is around.

I wonder why he cares so much about that sword.

Were you doing something that gave you the feeling of being ‘evil’?

“Hi go…”

“Ah, I didn’t react anyway!”

I wailed once for no reason.

Because the restless Seol-i was cute.

Honestly, I wasn’t worried.

Since it is Seol who will become a giant that is difficult to mention in the future, he will do well.

‘Han Seo-yeon is also watching.’

It’s probably hard even if you want to be crooked.

“You said it wasn’t a bad thing. I’ll believe it.”

“Yes.”

“Tell me if you have any difficulties.”

It was a hasty meeting because Seol-i felt so betrayed.

There is no harvest.

[Sensitive Sense (F) -＞ Sensitive Sense (E)]

… In the meantime, Seonhwa Lee followed me.

Until a while ago, I thought it was long.

Perhaps it was because of the constant care, it was clearly felt in the senses that became more sensitive as the skills were strengthened.

But it did two unexpected power-ups.

“Huh.”

“Brother?”

“No. It’s just nice to see you two after a long time.”

“I see.”

If I feel busy and rewarding when I am with Han Seo-yeon, I feel peaceful and healed when I am with Seol-i.

How did you meet the two at the tower, how could they be so different?

“How do you know Seonhwa Lee?”

“Before she came to the tower, she was my senior at the same university.”

“Then…did I do something wrong?”

Shouldn’t she have forced them to reconcile ─ that’s why she asked.

“No…I think I can roughly figure out why my brother did that.”

“No what…”

“You were trying to reduce the number of people dying on your own, right?”

Is that what you talked about with Seonhwa Lee earlier?

I felt ashamed for nothing.

“I already told my sister. I will also tell Kang Dae-san.”

“…To reconcile?”

“Yes, it will be difficult right now…But the anger will fade over time.”

“Mmm.”

We already tried to kill each other, but will that happen?

I just thought of that, but Seol-i continued as if he understood everything.

“Of course it will be difficult… But there are probably many people who would rather reconcile than risk their lives fighting.”

“Even though you’ve already fought once?”

“Yes. There are many cases in which I was angry and regretted it later, right?”

Looking at it, it sounds plausible.

“And fighting for your brother’s sake and fighting because you’re angry will feel different.”

“…Let’s not talk about that. My head hurts.”

“Hey. Is that so?”

“Okay. Shall we go back now? We have to prepare for tomorrow.”

“Yes!”

She got up from her bench, speaking a little louder so that Lee Seon-hwa, who was still overhearing, could hear.

The two of them quietly walked down the street illuminated by the fake moon.

“Brother, what are you wearing under your clothes?”

… I just walked quietly.

* * *

And time passed and the next day.

[The portal to the 1st floor has opened.]

A hole was punched right in front of the hotel.

The expressions of the people standing in front of the hole leading to the blue sky varied.

Han Seo-yeon is expressionless.

Seol-i is determined.

Lee Seon-hwa has a sense of mission.

Kang Dae-san looked at me suspiciously—.

─Perhaps Kang Dae-san was contemplating whether what Seol-yi said was true.

My intentions that Seol-i told Kang Dae-san earlier before the portal opened – Seol-i elaborated a little – seemed very suspicious.

No matter what happens, if you consider reconciliation even a little, it was a great harvest.

By the way, Kang Dae-san’s tone of voice is quite rugged, but Seol-i also has good guts.

I was watching in case you didn’t know, but I was all nervous.

I was very fortunate that nothing happened.

After looking around like that, he looked at me.

“Status window.”

《Status Window: Hyunwoo Nam》

▷「Those who stepped into the tower」

– Conqueror (Enhanced Rare Class)

– Swordsmanship (E)

– Sensitive Sense (E)

– Mana Sim Method – Body (F)

– Reflection (E)

Strength: 15

Duration: 16

Agility: 14 (11+3)

Stamina: 18

Luck: 10 (8+2)

mana: 8

When I opened the status window for the first time in a while and checked it, I realized that I was noticeably stronger than before.

While I was pumping up my confidence and checking my body condition.

The portal shook a little and a new notification came to mind.

[Confirmed that the majority of the waiting room are willing to enter the portal.]

When I saw the notification, I took a deep breath.

What will come out this time?

‘Please, I hope it’s not that difficult.’

[Everyone moves to the 1st floor.]

I closed and opened my eyes reflexively at the momentarily expanding blue sky while praying in vain.

It was in the woods.

However, unlike the tutorial that looked like a mountain in Korea.

… Although this time it was jungle.

I felt like I was already feeling depressed by the approaching humid air.

‘The starting position is the worst.’

▷ You woke up in a mysterious forest. I can’t remember where this place is or what I was. One thing, I remember clearly in my head where to go. Follow the faint memories and head to the Great Plains “Footprints of Giants”.

Even the scenario that emerged was worse.

As explained, to those of us who don’t even know about this place, we suddenly head to the Great Plains, the footsteps of giants.

“Does anyone have a map?”

There was no reply.

There is no way there will be a map on the 1st floor that is not even in the ordeal.

Then what should I do?

The Tower wouldn’t have given you an impossible mission.

There must be a place to collect information somewhere.

“Where is that…”

Where are you?

I didn’t have to think about that.

Because now was the turn of Han Seo-yeon, a trustworthy regressor.

“…I have a way.”

Han Seo-yeon opened her mouth as if she understood my intentions.

This is it.

Everyone focused on her mouth, and I even more.

What will start the first returner bus?

– The play.

“…?”

A small sound caught in the heightened sensitivity.

The first thing I heard was probably the one closest to Han Seo-yeon.

-Geudeudeuk.

… Behind Han Seo-yeon, who drew her sword before she knew it.

It was the sound of a huge tree falling.
