The Novel's Extra (0-100)

Chapter 33 - Exam Period (1)

10:55 P.M. I safely arrived at Gangwondo's Portal Station with Chae Nayun. Thankfully, there weren't many people around. I put Chae Nayun down on a nearby bench. She glanced at her smartwatch and murmured.

"It's almost curfew."

Immediately, I became speechless. Going to Cube in her current state was ridiculous.

"Contact your father."

"Why?"

"You know why. Go get treated at a hospital."

I turned to the Portal, leaving Chae Nayun alone on the bench.

"I'm going."

"What? Where?"

"To Cube. You can give my coat back later."

"Take me too! Hey! Aak!"

Chae Nayun tried to get up and fell forward. Looking at her pitiful state, I couldn't help but sigh.

"...You should really go to a hospital."

Chae Nayun clenched her teeth and glared at me. Her lips trembled. It seemed she really didn't want to call her father.

It was understandable. Chae Nayun's father was the head of a chaebol group. He was a busy and important man. Even though he would run over the moment he heard his daughter was hurt, Chae Nayun didn't want that.

"You have a butler or an attendant, right?"

"...Yeah, you can go."

Chae Nayun retorted curtly.

"Alright."

I walked towards the Portal employee, then stopped.

I suddenly remembered something. Today, Chae Nayun subconsciously unleashed her Gift. The magic power sword that cut down a Djinn in a single slash, that was the Gift Chae Nayun needed to develop.

"Hey, are you still going to use a bow?"

"What? What are you talking about?"

"You felt it today, didn't you?"

Chae Nayun's Gift was specialized for close ranged combat. More specifically, it was specialized for war.

As long as she had a conductor of magic power, she could amplify it tremendously. For example, her Gift could transform a 2-meter sword into a monstrous 20-meter sword. Furthermore, because magic power was weightless, the transformed sword wouldn't be any heavier.

In a way, it was similar to Sun Wukong's Jingu Bang[1]. The only difference was that Chae Nayun didn't need a legendary grade weapon to display a similar strength.

Slaughtering hundreds of monsters with a single blow, an imperial might capable of making Djinns shudder in fear, 'Emperor of the Battlefield' would be the epithet given to her.

"You should be using a sword, not a bow."

Just like in the original story, large weapons like zweihander or claymore suited her best. She even had the financial power to purchase the most expensive weapons.

"Oh yeah? What do you know about me?"

But Chae Nayun didn't know her future. She refused to even accept the idea.

The current Chae Nayun had yet to overcome her fear of close ranged combat.

"...Nevermind then."

I stepped into the Portal.

I could feel a resentful gaze piercing into my back.

She might be thinking, 'is he really going to leave me here?' But yes, I was planning to do exactly that.
