"I want to become more skilled at handling Aurors."

Seongjin, who had been savoring Lewis's perfect Melbourne for a while, put down his teacup and took his first chance.

"Aren't you still handling it to your heart's content? "I understand that you are far above the level of people your age."

"That alone is not enough."

Isn't this the aura layer that was barely built up after overcoming aura depletion? Now that I had learned it the hard way, I wanted to make a living by sharing the benefits that other Auror users enjoy.

For example, stamina that can be maintained even after staying up all night.

"... ... ."

Then Seonghwang closed his mouth and stared at Seongjin with slightly deepened eyes. A cold look in his eyes that makes it impossible to tell what he is thinking.

But now Seongjin knows that his silence is just a process of choosing words to provide an appropriate explanation.

"... "There was a bird flying freely on land, breathing the air."

Horok.

Seongjin sipped his still warm tea and quietly listened to Seonghwang's words.

"It was an extraordinary bird that could fearlessly glide from a cliff even in the distance and soar into the sky using the turbulent currents pushing its body as propulsion even in a strong storm."

"... ... ."

"Then one day it happened. For unknown reasons, the sky collapsed, and everything in the world was instantly submerged into the sea. "Many others were thrown into the water and lost their lives, but fortunately this bird soon realized that it could make gills like a fish."

After speaking up to that point, Seonghwang paused for a moment, looking into the teacup.

"Mores. What would you do if you were that bird? Would you like to drink sea water with peace of mind? Or will you close your beak and try to save your breath as much as possible until you get used to it?"

"... ... !"

There was no need to intentionally imagine the bird's position. There is no way you wouldn't understand this explicit metaphor.

Seonghwang is saying that Seongjin has been living in a completely different world from Delcross, so he is not yet used to the atmosphere of Delcross.

Like a bird that suddenly fell into the water.

'okay. I am Seongjin Lee, who has lived on Earth for a long time, and I am a soul who has recently arrived in this world. That is an undoubted fact, and my father knows this well. But how could I... ... .'

Then, in Seonghwang's eyes as he gazes at Seongjin, a mysterious silver-gray glow appears.

"Son. It's just an example. So, don't think about unnecessary things."

"Oh, yes."

A firm tone like never before.

Thanks to this, Seongjin, who was ready to roll his head, obediently cleared his mind of all his thoughts and nodded sheepishly.

Anyway, it's a ghost.

"Fortunately, the bird's extraordinary abilities were also demonstrated in the water. "The bird began to imitate the way its wings move like fins, and soon it was able to swim faster in the sea than any other fish."

The story of success continued.

The smart bird quickly adapted to life in the sea. This guy, who moved as quickly as a fish and knew how to use his sharp beak as a weapon, quickly became an outlaw of the sea, beating out other top predators.
