I Picked Up the Hero and the Demon King - Chapter 45



45 – Awareness (2)

After dinner my sister and I went out.

Even if I don’t have much to tell you, it’s better outside than dealing with mana inside the house.

Besides, her skills in handling not only Yoo Soo-ah but also Yoo Seo-eun were already great, so it was better for her to move freely.

“So what are you going to teach me, brother?”

“Right. I wonder what I will learn from now on!”

As the sisters looked at me with eyes filled with anticipation after a brief stretch, a sense of pressure came over them.

It was also the first time I was teaching someone.

If you look at the natural skills the sisters have now, they are no different from geniuses.

Besides, even though my ability is magic, the way it works is completely different, so I wasn’t sure if I could teach it well.

“Don’t expect too much… I’m teaching someone for the first time.”

“Really?”

“Are we the first?”

At my words, the sister stared at me for a moment, then her eyes lit up.

“hehehe. It’s my first time… I like it.”

“Brother’s first disciple…? Okay…”

I’m not sure what’s good, but let’s move on.

Where… So let’s think about what would be good to teach.

If you go to the academy, you will learn most of the things you need to learn… I’d better teach you what you might not learn there.

It’s like a lesson given by a hero running in the field.

“I’ve been thinking about what I can tell you… I don’t have much to tell you. If there is at least I can tell you what I’ve been through so far.”

“If it’s what my brother went through…”

“A battle between superhumans. It’s about attacking, evading, and using abilities.”

“Attack and Evasion?”

“Are you teaching me how to fight villains?”

“No. That’s too harsh for you guys. They’re going to kill you. What I’ll tell you is a bit of a refinement.”

“I see.”

Yusua thought for a moment before she asked a question.

“But I have a question.”

“What is it?”

“I’m curious about your brother’s ability. I want to know more. Could you please tell me?”

“There’s nothing I can’t do. Hold on…”

She paused the conversation and thought about how to inform her.

It took her a while because it was a question she had never thought of before, but she was able to find the answer.

“First of all, you know that my ability is mana manipulation, right?”

“Yeah, but it just didn’t seem like an ordinary ability.”

“Some of them are correct. First of all, I’ll explain mana manipulation. It is a basic ability that most superhumans can use, and it can enhance strength, agility, and durability by surrounding mana.”

“Then mana manipulation is a martial art?”

“No. It can be seen as a martial arts class, but it is classified as a magic class because of the fact that it manipulates mana.”

“That’s why you said it’s magic. But my older brother’s abilities are a bit unusual.”

“Right. I can strengthen not only that, but other areas as well. For example, nerves, blood flow, and senses.”

At my words, the sister looked at me with a little surprise.

“That sounds great!”

“That’s right. Then you can move several times faster than others, right?”

“That’s not true. Strengthening the body in this way is directly proportional to the user’s ability. Besides, the ratio is so honest… If your ability is 1:10, I’d say 1:1.”

“Is that much of a difference?”

“My ability isn’t strong. Above all, even if I use my ability, I move directly, so I have to bear everything on my own.”

“Hmm…”

Yoo Seo-eun tilted her head slightly as if she didn’t understand, but she soon nodded as if she understood.

She looked at me and answered as if Yushua would understand.

“But that’s not the end, is it?”

“Yes. And I can transfer mana to objects.”

Lee Seo-jin grabbed the wooden sword he had brought and put mana into it.

Then, in her sister’s eyes, she saw a blue aura shimmering in her wooden sword.

“Did you transfer mana?”

“Hmm? That’s right. Can you see this…?”

“Yes. It looks good.”

“It’s blue… This is mana.”

She was a little taken aback by her sister’s words.

Seeing mana requires some level of skill to be able to see it.

But you’ve already realized that?

… No Looking at her abilities, her maximum potential has already exceeded C.

As expected, a hero and a demon king.

“Hmmm. If I keep explaining it, the efficiency of transferring mana to objects is extremely low. Even with EX, the conductivity is less than 15%.”

“But is it 100% possible for my brother?”

“That’s right. I forgot the answer.”

“Whoops. Of course you can notice that much.”

Yoo Soo-ah looked at me with a smile.

I scratched my cheek in embarrassment and continued the explanation.

“Then, it can be seen as mana itself, no longer an ordinary object, and it is possible to collide with mana. A fight between superhumans is, after all, a clash of mana.”

“So you can get rid of mana?”

“Answer. That’s my ability and that’s why I use a sword. It cuts mana with a sword.”

After the explanation, her sister thought for a moment.

Did you ever wonder about my abilities?

Your expression looked bright as if you were feeling refreshed.

“Then will you tell us how to deal with us as well?”

“Hmm? No. You guys are different from me in real magic, so I should inform you accordingly.”

“But my brother treats me like a mutu. Can you tell me?”

“Of course.”

I said this, but I was still a bit worried.

I am still at a loss as to what to do especially with the part about Yoo Seo-eun.

I only know how to destroy while dealing with enemies. Not sure how to handle it…

What. Let’s try it once

I kept a certain distance from my sister and then said.

“Okay. Then let’s do it. First, I’ll teach you how to use magic attacks.”

“Is it difficult?”

“No. It’s simple. Magic is dominated by imagination.”

“Imagination…?”

The sister looked at me with a look of incomprehension.

Fortunately, I had heard this part before, so I explained it.

“A magic series that is not specifically defined is entirely made up of the user’s thoughts and imaginations. Sua, you showed me before, right?”

“Um… Ah! You mean the one that embodies light?”

“Apply it to the attack side. Create a sword to shoot or create a shield to block…”

Even in her previous life, Yoo Soo-ah created and attacked light in various forms.

Not only that, but I also moved my body directly to see where I learned martial arts.

He was an all-rounder who could heal wounds or strengthen abilities.

“Especially, Yu Seo-eun, you must be more specialized in attack.”

“Really? How do you know that?”

“…Just a persimmon?”

It’s not a feeling, but an eyewitness account from a previous life.

At the time, Yoo Seo-eun really boasted unbelievable destructive power.

A black hole appeared at once, sucking in and squeezing everything.

She creates a huge sword and when she strikes it… It was impossible to stop.

If you think about it, I’m teaching these monster-like kids right now.

“Think about it, implement it. However, anything that is too much will be too much for your ability. So think of something that will use your strength in moderation.”

“Moderately…”

“Effortless…”

The sisters were lost in thought.

I wonder if I can’t get a feel for it when I try to attack.

I moved my body recklessly, but the circumstances of the two are different, so it’s worth worrying about.

“But what if you go too far and your brother gets hurt?”

“Huh? Me?”

“That’s right. Our strength is so strong that if oppa gets hurt…”

I was wondering what you were thinking, was that a thought?

If it was someone else, I’d probably laugh it off.

You have just become a superhuman and your maximum potential is C, but you are afraid that others will get hurt?

I’ll say what kind of nonsense I’m talking about, but I’ll never say that…

As someone who has personally experienced the power of the two people’s abilities, words do not come out easily.

“Don’t worry. I can dodge and block your attacks.”

“Hmm… I guess so?”

“Because when I saw my older brother move before, he was outstanding.

“Yes. So attack as much as you like. That way I can see what your skills are like.”

Then the sisters thought again.

He seemed to be contemplating how to attack this time… It didn’t take long to think this time.

“Then brother…”

“Do you want to try it?”

She was afraid to speak, and tension ran through her body.

It feels like meeting two enemies on the battlefield.

I feel like this even though I just became a superhuman… After all, did the two of them have ridiculous talents?!

But that doesn’t mean I couldn’t show an unsightly backing down, so I smiled and nodded.

“Okay. Let’s try it!”

After that, a battle broke out.

I did my best to avoid it and tried to look normal.

I didn’t feel pushed or embarrassed.

I have my face too.

No matter how good their abilities are, these kids have just become superhuman.

Anyway, I never got pushed back and had a moderately decent battle, and I gave advice afterwards.

Really.

※

“Older brother, are you okay?”

“Was it too much…?”

When I returned home after the battle, the sister asked me how I was concerned.

In fact, his whole body was weak because he had almost used up his mana, but he smiled as if nothing had happened.

“Of course. Are you okay?”

What a damn body. Even though they trained so much, they are just like sisters who have just become superhuman.

Is it naturally overflowing with mana?

As expected, talent accounts for 99% of the superhuman level.

“I thought it was too much…”

“Are you seriously hurt anywhere?”

“Are you okay? Are you really okay? I think you must be exhausted after exerting so much effort.”

The sister’s attack was truly amazing.

A huge fist flies, fine rain shoots down, swords fly, arrows rain…

From noble mtl dot com.

I wonder if a hero appeared after thinking that a villain had appeared.

Of course, it didn’t last long because I used so much mana… I could see that it was short and extremely thick.

‘What a ridiculous ability… ‘

There was a reason he showed monstrous skills in his previous life.

In particular, Yoo Seo-eun’s attack was really fierce, as if what I said stimulated her.

Maybe it was night, so there were times when I couldn’t see more in the dark.

… It’s a bit embarrassing, but I was worried about whether I should tell them to do it in moderation next time.

“Hmm. I’m a bit tired.”

“That’s right. I think I’ll fall asleep if I lie down right now…”

“You shouldn’t use too much force. It’s not good to exert such a short amount of energy. Let’s try slowly next time.”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

I was tired, but I thought I should work harder to look good.

“Ah. That’s right. It’s me today… I’ll come see you in your room later? Older brother.”

“Huh? Uh… Um… Yeah…”

Before going into her room, Sooah Yoo smiled at her and went in.

Thinking about it, I have to do something about this too… I mean, I can’t seem to find the answer.

When the kids try to say something, they say the opposite.

It was also a trap that I didn’t hate sleeping together again.

Did you get used to it by sleeping together? If you fall later, you will be a little lonely.

She thought nothing of it. She stopped and I decided to go in and rest.

After that, when it was time to go to bed, Sooah Yoo carefully opened the door and came in.

“I’m here to sleep. Brother.”

“Ugh…”

It was an embarrassing answer, but I didn’t care, and Yoo Soo-ah took her pillow and lay down next to me.

But what was there to say?

I asked her as she stared at me.

“Why? What’s on my face?”

“…Whoops. No. It just looks good.”

“Oh yes? I thought there was something else.”

“Hmm… I do have something.”

“Huh?”

I was a bit taken aback by the sudden words.

Not only that, but Yoo Sua’s behavior also seemed to be a little more cautious.

Looks like he’s contemplating whether to speak or not.

What’s wrong with that… ?

“What’s wrong?

“…You know that older brother. Later, when Seo-eun sleeps…”

Yusua raised her body and she came closer to me.

She then made small talk with her mouth on her hand, making eye contact with her and whispering in her ear.

“Could you go out with me for a minute?”
