Chapter 59 “For now, I will only accept this much.” Faced with Ludwig’s seemingly endless offer to compensate him, Se-Hoon decided to stop with the Dragon Lung Stone. He had already secured every item he urgently needed, and considering what Ludwig was capable of, it seemed wise to save the chances for later. He must have set some standards for me, but as my value increases, so should those standards and the likenesses of receiving more from him. Plus, having an excuse to meet him privately later to receive the leftover compensation wasn’t a bad thing. “I might forget over time, so try to collect the remainder as soon as possible.” “I will keep that in mind.” “Then, you may go back and rest now.” Whoosh- The moment Ludwig’s gaze fell on Se-Hoon, Se-Hoon’s entire body vanished from the office, just like how he was summoned. Checking that he had safely returned to his hospital bed, Ludwig withdrew his senses and looked at Eun-Ha. “As I mentioned earlier, I’ll use the cover story that you were attacked by a demon. It might be bothersome, but if you get interview requests, try to accommodate them a bit. You can name... the ones you usually don’t like.” “Understood.” “And for the research budget... let’s start with around one billion for now. As it’s only for you and that friend to use, the other professors might complain if I allocate too much.” It was true that it was a smaller amount than the research grants professors usually received, but it wasn’t much of a problem. When considering that, in reality, only Se-Hoon alone would be using it, that was especially true. Besides, if he were to produce results, the budget and funding could be increased indefinitely later. Affirming that the conditions were not bad, Eun-Ha nodded. “Will do.” “Good luck. It might be the path that’ll lead you to become a Perfect One.” “...” Hearing that, Eun-Ha silently stared forward. Perfect One was a title and mark of accomplishment granted only to those who were a step higher than S-rank heroes and had ascended to the top of a Tower of Heroes. To her, that title was something she felt close to yet immensely distant from. “I’ll try my best,” she answered calmly. “I’m looking forward to it.” “Then...” Bowing, she turned around to leave the office, but she suddenly turned around and looked at Ludwig. “Chairman.” “What is it?” “My eyes were on Lee Se-Hoon first.” Caught off guard by her sudden statement, Ludwig stared blankly at her before chuckling and asking, “So, what do you wish to propose?” “...I just wanted you to know.” Leaving behind that evasive answer, she vacated the room. With no one left in the office besides Ludwig, a low voice echoed from beyond the white hole. “Even that chunk of metal knows how to be greedy.” Hearing the sarcasm, Ludwig nodded. “Indeed. I never thought that, out of all the professors, Dean Ryu would be the one giving me a warning.” “Be careful. From the way it’s growling at you already, it might even try to bite with just a little provocation.” Had he pushed a contract and promised Se-Hoon funding instead of just stopping at compensation, Eun-Ha wouldn’t have just watched silently. Ludwig recalled how Eun-Ha had blocked the way while he was talking with Se-Hoon and let out a small laugh. “Don’t worry. She’s not at that point yet.” “You truly have an incomprehensible hobby.... Anyway, which side do you think was involved in this?” Immediately erasing his smile upon hearing the voice’s question, Ludwig answered, “It must be Exuviation. That dungeon was probably a place where they were conducting their research. They seem to have used Wurgen’s body part as a linchpin.” “To think they implanted the body part of a Perfect One into a monster to accelerate its awakening... their technology keeps advancing.” Despite the fact that this incident would cause a tremendous uproar if publicly announced, Ludwig had felt no particular feelings about it. As the leader of Babel, an educational institution and a giant research lab, he would have eventually encountered those who were a part of this realm anyway. “It does seem a bit too early though...” “Then, what will you do?” the voice asked, sounding a bit higher than usual. It seemed to be expecting something. “It would be best to take care of it once.” Seemingly answering that expectation, Ludwig vanished from the office leaving that calm reply, and the white hole disappeared along with him as if it had never been there. From that day on, landslides and building collapses of unknown origin occurred all around the world. *** “Hm...” Waking up from a nap after returning, Se-Hoon immediately checked his body condition. His entire body felt like it was being pricked by needles, his bones ached, and his joints creaked as if they were being wrung out. He could only sigh upon feeling the horrible pain in every part of his body. Still... this isn’t too bad. Painful as it was, a wound without pain was far more frightening. In that sense, this level of injury was manageable, but no matter what he said, those around him wouldn’t listen. Maybe I should have asked for an elixir from Ludwig... With the right elixir, he could have used Soul Honing to instantly treat himself. With that thought, he began to seriously ponder whether to save the reward or shorten the six weeks of recovery time. Knock knock- “Hey. Are you asleep?” He suddenly heard a casual knock and a quiet voice. Recognizing the owner, he sat up. “Come in.” The door opened as soon as he gave permission and a girl with silver hair—Luize—came in holding a black plastic bag. “What did you come here for?” “I came because I heard you were attacked by a demon and were injured,” she answered without hesitation. Sitting down on the chair next to his bed, she looked over his body from head to toe. “But you look better than I thought? I heard you were badly injured...” “What do you mean, badly injured? This is practically nothing.” Seeing Se-Hoon, who, apart from the bandages, seemed to have no injuries at all, she grew puzzled. Losing interest in her, he spoke dismissively, not even bothering to look at her. Upon his blatant disregard, her eyes turned cold. “What if I don’t want to?” “What did you say?” “I said I don’t want to. Are you deaf?” She glared at him, her lips twisted in disdain. “Who are you to tell me to leave? Ridiculous.” “...Presumptuous.” “At least I’m not rude like you.” As the conversation went on, the temperature in the room seemed to drop and the air was filled with a dangerous tension. It felt like a fight might break out at any moment. Yet instead of doing something, Se-Hoon just watched with a fascinated expression, ignoring the charged atmosphere. These two... the way their personalities are incompatible with each other is the same as before. He had always thought that their clashes in the past were because of their messed up personalities, but he now realized that it was simply because their inherent natures didn’t mesh. Though, when compared to before the regression, they’re both relatively polite. If they were still the Mad Dog and the Blast Dog, they would have already thrown punches at each other. Wondering when things would escalate, Se-Hoon continued watching with interest. “Excuse me.” “Ah, huh? Why is the door open... Yeom Sung-Ha sunbae?” Entering through the door left open by Sung-Ha, the unexpected arrival of Erika and Jake slightly eased the previously tense atmosphere. “Did you come to visit?” Se-Hoon looked at them in surprise. “We heard you were seriously injured... but what happened here?” Sensing the unusual atmosphere in the room, Jake glanced around cautiously. Unlike Jake, however, Erika strode forward, positioning herself between Luize and Sung-Ha. She had inserted herself without paying attention to either of them, causing both their brows to furrow slightly. “Here. A get-well-soon gift.” She handed Se-Hoon a wooden box she had brought. The box’s elegant and unusual appearance caught his eye, prompting a curious expression. “This is a get-well-soon gift?” “Yes, open it.” Following her suggestion, he carefully opened the wooden box. Inside was a small pill with the appearance of yin and yang. The extraordinary aura it emitted caught his attention, and he immediately checked the information message. [Yin-Yang Pill] [Tier: Hero] [Quality: Perfect] [A miraculous pill that holds yin and yang mana in perfect balance. It specializes in stimulating body regeneration, and its power can be amplified based on the affinity with the elemental attribute of the wielder’s mana. However, caution is needed when consumed by those with elemental mana attributes that have no affinity with yin and yang mana, as there may be a conflict. *Stimulates body regeneration *Amplifies elemental mana that has an affinity with yin and yang mana] She had given him a difficult-to-acquire Hero elixir, the Yin-Yang Pill, which was known for its exceptional versatility and effectiveness. Looking at Erika, who was proudly presenting the valuable gift, Se-Hoon spoke up. “Is this really a get-well-soon gift?” “Yes.” “And you’re not going to ask me to pay for it?” “I don’t do petty things like that.” At her firm response, Se-Hoon briefly glanced at Sung-Ha, whose expression had hardened, perhaps finally realizing that he had made a mistake. In the meantime, Jake also approached and handed over a black box. “I... brought something too.” Upon receiving the box from him, Se-Hoon immediately opened it to find a palm-sized black jelly. At first glance, it resembled a slime, but inside it, he saw dense clouds of darkness mana. Isn’t this... He quickly checked the information message. [Shadow Ether] [Tier: Rare] [Quality: Perfect] [Ether refined from darkness mana. It helps rapidly recover weakened darkness mana and enhances its sensitivity. *Recovers darkness mana and increases its sensitivity] Shadow Ether... at this quality, I might even be able to use this to fully awaken my darkness mana attribute. He had been considering fully awakening his darkness mana attribute soon, and this material seemed perfectly suited for the task. Seeing how Se-Hoon was pleased, Jake smiled. “I heard it’s hard to treat injuries inflicted by mana of the darkness mana attribute, so I went looking for this. How is it?” “It’s amazing. You’re not going to ask me to pay you, right?” “That sort of thing... well... I usually wouldn’t do it, right?” Glancing at Sung-Ha, Jake was cautious with his answer, seemingly understanding what was going on. Now shifting his gaze slightly to Sung-Ha, Se-Hoon asked, “Anything you learned from them?” At this point, one would probably assume Sung-Ha had understood what he did wrong. However, upon hearing Se-Hoon’s question, Sung-Ha looked at Se-Hoon quietly before his expression hardened. Then, he leaned in closer. With a grave voice, he whispered into Se-Hoon’s ear. “Be careful.” “...?” “There’s no way they’d give away items like those for free. It’s likely that they have some scheme in mind.” Seeing the seriously concerned expression on Sung-Ha’s face, it seemed he was offering Se-Hoon some advice from the bottom of his heart. And upon hearing Sung-Ha’s sincerity, Se-Hoon wore a big smile on his face and patted Sung-Ha’s shoulder. “Leave.” And with that, Sung-Ha was ushered out of the room alone.
