Chapter 36
n
n
nThere was a student who suffered harassment when he was a middle school student.
nThe victim had player abilities, but the combat power was not very high.
nThere was nothing bad about his family, personality, or appearance, but if you give it a measurement it was below average.
n‘Although his studies were as good as that of Joo So-hyuk and Andain.’
nOn the other hand, the two perpetrators were born with talent, good looks, well off family, lots of friends, and was friendly with the teachers.
nThey were good at studying, but they weren’t nearly as good compared to the victim.
nThere was a huge gap between the first, second, and third places in the school.
nThat greatly bothered the perpetrators.
nThe harassment was subtle and difficult to understand and was conducted in a direction to mess with the victim’s study pace.
n“His only hope was Silver Light High school.”
n
n
nThe victim student spent painful and lonely middle school years, but he studied desperately.
nThis is because he thought the perpetrators would never be able to attend Silver Light.
nIn order for the victim to pass the Silver Light exam, the victim, who had weak combat abilities, had to receive a high written test score.
nThe victim passed the Silver Light entrance exam through his desperate efforts.
n‘But the two perpetrators used the power of the best side to manipulate the results of the special selection and come to the silver ad.’
nThe victim did not know the news of the perpetrator’s passing of the entrance exam.
nThis is because he did not attend the middle school when he was accepted into Silver Light, as he did.
n‘I didn’t have any friends to tell the news either way.’
nThe victim had a peaceful and happy Silver Light high school life for a while.
nThat happiness ended on April Fool’s Day.
nAlthough they got into Silver Light with fraudulent admissions, it was caused by the perpetrators who were stressed by the excellent Silver Light students.
nEven later this day, the victim was used as a stress-relieving tool for the perpetrators.
n‘The victim’s parents worked for a company run by the perpetrator’s parents, so he couldn’t resist.’
nAll of this came from a recall of the playable character, Park Seung-hyun, before his death.
n“Are you okay?”
nHe removed the blue tape from Park’s mouth first.
nHe looked at him and murmured.
n“Unknown Supernova.”
nPark Seung-hyun seemed to know him.
n“Yes. You’ve been beaten by these kids right?”
nHe pointed his chins to the two students who were bound by iron chains, Gwanglim, of Do Wonwoo, the student council president.
nWhen Park Seung-hyun saw the two, his facial expression twisted, and nodded.
n“I didn’t want Park Seung-hyun to go through this.”
nHe was planning on waiting in advance and tried to destroy them as soon as the two committed the crime, but he was late.
n‘As soon as I got the name, I had to get him out of Silver Light.’
nHe was left with a painful lesson.
nCrack-!
nHe smashed the SR-class restraining item that tied Park Seung-hyun with iron chains.
n“Son of a…. does he know how expensive that was….!
nHe used that expensive item for this nonsense.
nIt looked like he hasn’t woke up to reality yet.
nThey must have thought so because Park Seung-hyun was in front of them, who helped them feel more self-esteem.
n“Activating the skill of the target character, “partial discharge”.
nZzzzzzzzt!
n“No, aaahhhhh!”
n“Ahhhh! I didn’t say anything…Ahhhh!”
nThe guy who didn’t say anything got it as a bonus.
n“Park Seung-hyun, I want to expel these bastards, but what do you think?”
n“Expul….sion….”
nPark Seung-hyun spoke in an unbeatable tone.
nThere was a little bit of euphoria in his eyes.
nHe must remember the time when he was happy with the harassment-free Silver Light.
n“But students are not expelled for this kind of thing. They would have to go to the extent of murder, rape, or assault of faculty members to get expelled. They aren’t going to be expelled just because they’ve locked someone up for 10 minutes on April Fool’s Day.”
nPark Seung-hyun was not injured.
nHe was just locked up in the old school building for a little bit.
nAlthough he didn’t know how long he would have been here if he hadn’t come.
nEven if the righteous teachers got actively engaged in it, they will end up with a few days of suspension at best.
n‘Furthermore, if this incident came up, Park Seung-hyun’s parents will surely be penalized by the parents of the perpetrators.’
nPark Seung-hyun understood his words and looked terrified.
nHe probably knew already.
nPark Seung-hyun, who is well-studied and had a good head on his shoulders, won’t have sought youth law or school rules to overcome this situation.
n“But there’s a way to get rid of them from Silver Light.”
n“Ha, what are you! Do you even know who my parents are…”
n“Activating the skill of the target character, “partial discharge”.
n“Activating the skill of the target character, “partial discharge”.
n“Activating the skill of the target character, “partial discharge”.
nZzzzzzt!
nZzzt!
nZzzzzt -!
n“Ahhhhhhh, no!”
n“Ahhh, spare me! I didn’t say any……”
nThe guy, who did not say anything, was asked to take responsibility for the solidarity.
nAfter a series of skill usage, they became quiet.
n‘They didn’t even show a lax behavior like Son Min-ki. It’s hard to destroy their lives like Son Min-ki and live as a cripple or bury them socially.’
nThese guys live in much better conditions than Son Min ki used to live in.
nIn order for them to go bankrupt, they would have to use the power of Hwang’s Hwangmyeong Group or Joo Soo-hyuk’s Joo oh Group to exert pressure.
nMoving them takes a lot of time and was a big risk.
n‘And if these guys have abilities, victims will come out. No matter where they go.’
nEven before he started, he was contemplating on how to banish them forever from the player scene, and from Silver Light.
n‘I can put a seal on their skills and Gwanglim, but it’s not a good solution since they will just release the seal, because these kids have a lot of money, it won’t be hard to find a way to release it.’
nSo he decided not to seal the power, but to remove it entirely.
n“There are cases where the player’s ability disappears after the age of 17. Although it’s rare.”
nHe secured the means by making risky transactions.
n“The loss of player talent would be a reason for the expulsion from Silver Light.”
nHe pulled out the items he received from Ungnyeo of Grief on the day he destroyed the Fantasy Auction, the wealth, and the weight of life card.
n
nItem Name Wealth and The Weight of Life
nType Consumables
nRarity UR-
nEffect Erases the human’s potential in exchange for wealth and life.
nDescription
nThe item card itself was worth a great deal of wealth.
nErase human’s potential in exchange for the item card and the wealth they own.
nHowever, if there is a lack of wealth that they own against the humans potential they are erasing, it will take the life force of the item user in exchange.
nJin Woong-Palsun created this with the intention of erasing the potential of the heavenly deity and new god.
nThat failure.
nThere were three “wealth and the weight of life” cards that he had received from Ungnyeo of Grief.
nOne of them will be used to erase the powers of these two garbages.
nThe three people were astonished when they saw the item card he had taken out.
n“UR-grade item card… !”
n“You, are you, really going to !”
n“No, No. Let me go!”
nDozens of apple boxes were pulled out of the item window.
nThe apple boxes were filled with 50,000 won bills.
nIn addition, he took out the otherworld gems in the form of cards and sprinkled them over the boxes.
n“I don’t want to have garbage like you attending Silver Light.”
nHe didn’t know how much he would end up paying.
n‘If I remember the setting, it didn’t take much of Jin Woong-Palsun to erase the talents of the three professional team players at the same time. It’s going to be okay.’
nEven with unexpected variables, his life will be protected if he poured out all the billions he had collected from Byeon Soon Hoe and Choi Pyeon Deuk.
nBecause the level of power of these garbages was trivial.
nIf it wasn’t insignificant, they wouldn’t have to do an illegal admission.
n“This item erases the talents of humans in exchange for money or lifeforce. Your abilities will be completely gone, and you won’t even remember why it’s gone.”
nThe scary thing about this item was that it made it unrecognizable even why the talents had disappeared.
nIt was an atrocious item that was optimized for total crime fitting of a UR-class item.
nThe risk was great, and the difficulty of getting it was great because of that.
n“Next battle practice time. The fact that your talents disappeared will become known and after you receive an examination you will be disqualified as a player and be a normal human being.”
nIt would be the first time that a player that attended Silver Light would lose their talent after the age of 17.
nThe illegal admission will also come to light while thoroughly investigating the cause.
nWhen he tried to use the card.
n“W-wait. Don’t do it!”
nPark Seung-hyun came out with a struggle and stood in between him and the perpetrators.
n‘Don’t tell me he is thinking about what I am thinking.’
nHis head went blank.
nWas he going to forgive these guys?’
nSometimes, in fiction, a character was introduced that gave excessive struggles and troubles because of their excessive humanity.
nHe wanted him to say that it was a lie.
nIt was still April Fool’s Day.
nYes, it might be a lie!
nIt’s going to be a lie.
nHe was going to pretend that he didn’t hear, and pretend that he didn’t know, and use the item…
nPark Seung-hyun cried out loud as he was turning the mental victory circuit.
n“······ Let me!”
nHe reached out and knelt.
n“Let me get revenge with my hands, please, please!”
nPark’s high-degree glasses were clouded with moisture, and his face was full of tear marks and swelling.
nIt was an appearance bully that only looked at the appearance would make fun of.
n“Every day…I- I always wondered, why, why I couldn’t say stuff I wanted to say. I regretted it.”
nNow, however, Park Seung-hyun’s eyes were shining so much that he will not lose to the Jin Tribe, who was heading into battle.
nPlease, this time. Don’t let me regret it!”
nPark Seung-hyun, who knelt down to him, reached out to the card.
n“…… Using this item can reduce your lifespan.”
n“I wanted to die every day because of these bastards, but I’ve only held back because of my parents! Is reducing my lifespan a problem? If I can kill these bastards and get sent to hell, I will go!”
nHe cried out with a cracked voice.
nPark Seung-hyun’s will seemed to be hard to beat.
nIn the game, Joo Soo-hyuk wasn’t able to stop him once Park Seung-hyun made a decision.
nHe couldn’t help it.
nHe handed out the item card.
n“Park… Park Seung-hyun, we were, we’re wrong! We are middle school alumnus. We’re friends. You can play with your friends, and that’s it!”
n“Yeah. We maybe did some bad pranks but, you are thinking of this too far! Why are you going this far because of a few bad pranks!”
nThe illegal admissions were frightened and said nonsense.
nPark Seung-hyun grabbed the card and smiled dryly at them.
n“Hahaha… Even in this situation, you do not reflect.”
nEven if you put these kinds of guys in the same position, they would just be repressed.
nThe reality was that it is difficult to find one that regrets and reflects their decisions even in the most vicious criminals in prison.
n“Park Seung-hyun, use this money for the exchange.”
nHe knew what was going to happen to him today. But still failed to protect him.
nHe was willing to provide this kind of reward at least.
nPark nodded as he pointed to the apple boxes.
n“Thank you… … !”
nWith this, the ownership of the money should be transferred to Park Seung-hyun.
n“Do you know what type of bullying is the most common type of youth school violence statistics? It’s when a student who has the ability and all of a sudden it disappears. They are usually arrogant and full of qualifications, they are weird, has a background, and it makes them a good target for the general public.”
nPark Seung-hyun hand that held the card shook.
nHis eyes were filled with tears, but his mouth was smiling.
n“I hope there is someone like you guys at the school you guys will be attending after getting kicked out of Silver Light.”
nPark Seung-hyun used the wealth and the weight of life card.
nThe item card began to shine in ominous colors.
nPaaaa-!
nWhen the light stopped shining so strong that you could not see anything around it.
nHe and Park Seung-hyun, the two perpetrators, the four of them were in a completely different space.
nThere was a huge libra scale in front of them.
n‘This is the effect of a UR-grade item!’
nHe felt a strong force from the giant libra scale.
nThe Libra scale was engraved with the power of ancient language, which was impossible to decipher with his knowledge of today.
nOn one side of the libra scale were two perpetrators, and on the other was a series of gems depicted on the item card of wealth and the weight of life.
nWhat talent do you wish to erase
nA space made by a UR-grade item.
nA man covered in pure white bearskin appeared above the Libra scale.
nHis face was covered in bearskin, so his face was not visible.
nHowever, his lips were dignified, and his voice that rang the ears were full of dignity.
n“Please erase the powers of these bastards!”
nWhen Park Seung-hyun shouted, the man standing on the libra scale nodded.
nUnderstood.
nCreak-
nUntil now, the libra scale, which had been balanced by external forces, began to tilt slowly.
nThe man standing on the libra scale was measuring the leanings.
nThe two illegal admission students began to yell because they saw that the power of the UR-grade item was real.
n“N-No. No, Park Seung-hyun you son of a bitch. Stop! Why do I because of a **ter like you!”
n“Ah, No, No! If I lose my powers, I’m going to kill his little parents and his family. I will kill everyone. I will make them beggars!”
nOf course, they just pretended to reflect.
nThe perpetrator’s true heart was being broadcasted live.
nThe two men attempted to escape the libra scale plate, but the power of the UR-class item made them unable to resist.
nEvery time they tried to jump out of the plate, there was a spark around the plate.
nThen again they returned to the plate.
nTheir talents are so trivial that there’s nothing more to accept.
nThe man standing on the libra scale said with a regretful face.
nIn the meantime, the Libra plate stopped.
nIt was tilted to nearly 90 degrees.
nOf course, the perpetrators’ side soared enough to penetrate the space.
n‘I guess I didn’t even need to take out the money boxes.’
nThe money turned solid.
nNow I will take their talents.
nAs the man standing on the libra scale reached out to the two, the libra plate changed into a box.
nAnd slowly the box shrunk.
n“No, no, no, Ahhhh, it hurts. Ouch!”
n“Ahhhhh. It hurts, it hurts it hurts it hurts. Ahhhhh!”
nCrack, Crack!
nThe sound of something getting shattered and destroyed got louder and louder compared to the sounds of the screams getting quieter.
nHe didn’t know what was going on inside, but he knew that the process of removing the ability was painful.
nYou are the child, the Ungnyeo of Grief had an interest in, I was waiting to see you what you wanted to erase.
nSuddenly, a voice rang in his head.
nHe didn’t feel the sensation ringing in his ears.
nThis guy, directly in the head… …
nThe man standing on the libra scale stared straight at him as he looked up in amazement.
n‘Who is this guy’
nThe nature of this item.
nA being who can lightly make remarks about the Ungyeo of Grief.
nMore intense power and dignity than a Jin tribe.
nHe guessed after sorting out each one of his thoughts.
nHe who was standing on the Libra scale seemed to be a higher being.
n‘To have the ability to erase human talents would only be possible by beings of a higher power.’
nPark Seung-hyun, standing next to him, acted as he didn’t hear anything and stared at the box.
nThe weight of wealth and life was originally yours. This is the change. I hope you can make use of this well
nAs the man standing on the libra scale made a movement, he felt a foreign object inside his fist.
nInside his fist was a black, but a small glass bottle.
nI will wait to see what you wish to erase next time.
nHe stood on the libra scale, and he laughed.
nBy the time the laughter stopped, Cho Eui Shin, Park Seung-hyun, and the two perpetrators had returned to the faculty’s restroom.
n‘It felt like a daydream!’
nBut the glass bottle left in his hand was real.
n“These bastards, they passed out.”
nHe woke up with Park Seung-hyun’s words.
nThey were in the dusty old school’s staff restroom.
nIt was a mess, with the apple boxes full of cash, item cards, and the two kids on a messy floor.
n‘Let’s just forget about them and go.’
nFirst, all apple boxes and item cards were recovered.
nHe did not lose anything except the weight of wealth and life cards.
n“Hey, let’s clean up and get out of here. Park Seung-hyun.”
n“Yeah, really, thank you very much.”
nHe was smiling very brightly.
nThe sun had already been completely set.
nThe two of them left the closed zone, leaving the two kids behind after they had dealt with the traces.
n“Were you a dormitory student as well? What floor? I’m on the 17th floor.”
n“I’m on the 20th floor.”
n“That is the very top. How is the 20th floor?”
n“It takes forever for the elevator to come so it’s uncomfortable.”
nPark Seung-hyun was also a dormitory student and moved with him.
nWhy did he come to his rescue, why did he get caught up in this frenzy while consuming a UR-grade item?
nPark Seung-hyun asked nothing, even though there were many questions.
nHe just said thank you.
n‘Park Seung-hyun was this smart and has a good head on his shoulders, enough for others to be envious about it. He will deal with it wisely.’
nHe and Park Seung-hyun arrived on the first floor of the lobby of the first-grade dormitory building.
nThen a first-year student, who was lying on the couch in the lobby on the first floor in his school sports uniform, jumped up and ran towards them.
n“Park Seung-hyun, what did you do with the device off? Why did you leave alone without saying a word, you disloyal brat?
n“Uh, uh, just because.”
n“Wait, did you cry?”
nA first-year student in a sports uniform looked at Park Seung-hyun’s face and alternated between him and Cho Eui Shin.
n“You are Unknown Supernova. Did something happen to the two of you?”
nThe first-year student, who appeared to be a friend of Park, locked his arms and posed vigilantly.
nPark Seung-hyun said out of panic.
n“No, just… He was listening to my worries.”
n“······ Yeah? Dude, did your device run out of battery? When it gets solar power, it automatically charges. Let’s go out and play during the break starting from tomorrow. That way the battery gets charged.”
n“It still has battery. I don’t know what happened but it’s off.”
n“What do you mean you don’t know. Turn it on quick.”
nSurely the bastards would have turned off the device after they tied him up.
nPark Seung-hyun’s friend in the sports uniform, put his arms around his shoulders and after checking that he turned on his device started chatting with him.
nThe two perpetrators will be expelled soon.
n
n
nNow Park Seung-hyun can spend his normal school life with his friends.
n“I’m going to go.”
n“Oh, wait a minute Cho Eui Shin!”
nPark Seung-hyun suggested exchanging device codes after hesitating a bit.
nIt was a little surprising.
n‘He didn’t actively try to get along with people in the game.’
nPark Seung-hyun had been passive throughout because of the trauma inflicted by the perpetrators.
nHe gladly exchanged device codes with him and headed to his room.
nAnd April 2nd came with the end of April Fool’s Day.
nThere were a total of seven students now in the Class 0 1st grade.
n
