Become a Black Screen in a Novel - Chapter 16

“Okay, let’s start training for the realization of Telekinesis. Power to the designated location.”

 

The inside of the training ground was structured like a huge dome, and the internal facilities were all painted white.

It is unfamiliar to see dozens of cadets huddled together in an area larger than any school’s playground. It was obviously bigger inside than outside.

 

The soft faces lined up in an orderly manner along the dividing line on the floor, there was no noise and there was a calm atmosphere overall.

The instructor, seeing this, nodded and signaled to the assistant.

 

Kiwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

Soon, the scenery of the training ground began to tremble strangely. As if the image around it is blurring, the same shadow is superimposed on the field of vision several times.

With the throbbing headache and the sensation of shivering in the stomach, motion sickness strikes for a short time.

 

“Yes, Dan-hyeok. How was last week?”

 

In the quiet and expansive training ground, there was only me and the instructor left. I raised my hands while suppressing the groaning.

 

“Yes, Instructor Jensen. And I’m sorry, is it okay if I take a three-minute break and start?”

“Of course. However, the lectures are now in the 3rd week, aren’t they? You have to gradually get used to parallel probability differentiation. Dimensional sensitivity is a necessary skill to attack the foam world and the otherworldly erosion.”

 

The grinning old man was wrinkled with deep furrowed wrinkles.

However, unlike the face that was engraved by the years, the lower part of the neck was strong, so he did not feel weak.

 

A character who does not appear in the original, but has a deep relationship with one of the main characters in the setting.

At a young age, he flew as an A-class superman, but after retirement, he was an old-timer who said that he was working hard to train the next generation.

 

I smiled slightly.

 

“The instructor is great. His memories are failing dozens of times and you’re fatigued, so he corrects it like that.”

“That is why elective lectures are limited to once a week. Even if I’m not old, I can take care of training every day.”

“Look. If we do this everyday, we will not be able to survive.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

 

Take a moment to calm yourself down while listening to the sound of laughter bursting out. Whoops, exhaling his breath, as he straightened his posture, Instructor Jenson clicked the stopwatch.

 

“Two minutes and 39 seconds. It has decreased a lot though. At least until you enter the 5th week, try your best to fully adapt.”

“Yes, Instructor Jensen.”

“Great. Then, from now on, we will officially start the mind training for the 3rd week.”

 

Even now, dozens of cadets must be having a similar conversation in the phase space divided into parallel universes.

 

They are called superhuman because it transcends the average and limits of human beings. Therefore, since the characteristics of superhumans are too diverse, it is extremely difficult to make a leveling class.

The swordsmanship of a superman who uses electromagnetic force to fire a railgun and a superman who controls the center of gravity by emitting a gravitational force cannot be the same, can’t it?

 

Well, the reason that even dimensional differentiation can be used for educating a single cadet is thanks to the Theme Academy, an organization directly under the Superhuman League.

 

The ability of the world to develop in harmony with mystery and rationality surprises me anew every time I come into contact with it.

On the other hand, I would like to have a demon capable of crushing such a civilization with its bare hands.

 

He faces the old man with the body of a boy on the pure white playground. As if proud of him, he feels a sense of disparity whenever it is reflected through his eyes that look at the hopes of mankind.

Two weeks and a few days after starting school life. It was a time when various classes and training were gradually on track.

 

The old man looked at this and opened his mouth, swiping his beard with his thumb.

 

“Let’s see, Dan-hyeok was hoping for a vanguard in the land of the land, didn’t he?”

“Yes. My character is physically strong.”

 

Initial characteristics consisting of 『Pain Resistance (E)』, 『Quick Recovery (E)』, 『Cleanliness (E)』, and 『Blood Manipulation (E)』.

It withstands pain well, has quick recovery, has resistance to poisons and germs, and handles blood. In a word, a superhuman whose strength is primal vitality.

That was the image I wanted to build with Park Dan-hyeok’s performance at the time of enlistment. A modest, characterless, minor role that can be overlooked literally.

 

“Dan-hyeok do you have any plans to learn magic?”

“Yes?”

“To be precise, it’s about enchantment magic, and among them, the glyphs that mainly use magic circles.”

 

However, it seems that the instructor, who devoted his whole life to utilizing this ability, saw it a little differently.

 

“Isn’t your main fighting style to create a weapon that transforms freely through hematopoiesis and to enhance momentum through blood in the body?”

“Yes. By controlling the muscles to the extremities, even the most sophisticated movements can be reproduced. In the future, when the character grows, it is said that it is possible to tear the opponent’s body apart just by touching it, or to aim for instant death by regurgitating blood. I got a recommendation there and I’ve been working on it all the time…”

 

The background of Park Dan-hyeok that I set was like that. The instructor nodded once.

 

“Actually, in terms of a comprehensive battle, it’s a good choice. Since it is a characteristic that deals with the body, it can be said that the idea of ​​linking it with martial arts is natural.”

 

With a forceful voice.

 

“Now is the time to train the concrete shape of the image. In terms of being a weapon that changes shape according to one’s thoughts, Dan-hyeok’s blood flow manipulation seems to have room for further development.”

“Is that… is the pattern art?”

 

It is interesting. I was already listening to the story about how to use the character Park Dan-hyeok.

 

“Dan-hyeok what characteristics do you think blood flow manipulation has compared to other manipulators that deal with telekinesis, electromagnetic force, water flow, and ectoplasm?”

“The fact that the object of manipulation has a substance, and that it is part of my body.”

 

My answer came out right away. It was a conclusion I reached naturally after experiencing the world of superhumans for a few weeks.

Instructor Jensen also affirmed and asked another question.

 

“What are the strengths of combining the two?”

 

He seemed to be slowly getting the hang of it.

 

“It’s convenient to channel magic.”

“Yes. It’s relatively simple to transfer magic power to things that have a substance. Even if it is a part of yourself, the affinity rate is close to 100%.”

 

Conversely, it is unstable and difficult to apply force to the air or force itself.

 

Reinforcing swordsmanship with magic means that it is wrapped around muscles and blades to increase momentum and cutting power, not the physical impact itself.

The expression of telekinesis with horsepower means that fuel is poured into the engine to increase output, but the physical force field itself does not imply horsepower.

 

The acrobatic ability to hold on to the pure magical power itself before being converted into another power is a skill that even the most virtuous show in the theme.

Even if it is possible, it is wasteful and the efficiency is bad.

 

So the instructor was saying:

 

“In other words, blood flow manipulation is a catalyst that contains magical power… I think this would be an excellent compatibility with the pattern art, which is effective just by having a set frame and pouring magical energy into it.”

“Indeed. It is a magic circle drawn with blood.”

 

I remembered an occult magic ritual there.

Isn’t it common in horror movies? A scene in which an unidentified entity adds to the horror with sentences or pictures engraved in blood.

 

“The blood vessels of the human body are so detailed and complex that they can reach 120,000 kilometers when unfolded.”

 

Instructor Jensen poked my chest with his finger.

 

“In your body, there is a line long enough to wrap around a star. At the end of that road, if you reach the S-class characteristics someday, you might even be able to deal with the magic circle that covers the continent. Only the patterns drawn by the blood flow in the body.”

 

Laughter broke out.

 

“It’s an S-class characteristic, isn’t it too far-fetched?”

“Hahaha. Aren’t you supposed to set your goals high?”

 

Instructor Jensen’s folds deepened as he drew a smile.

 

“Actually, there was a superhuman who used hematopoiesis in this way among the A ranks of the Federation. When I was on active duty, I was a hero who wore a city-scale magic circle in layers.”

 

A tone with a bit of bitterness and a narrative in the past tense.

If such a superman is still alive today, he cannot be Park Dan-hyeok’s role model.

 

I mean, that’s the story.

 

Brief contemplation.

 

After finishing mourning, Instructor Jensen calmed down.

 

“Dan-hyeok. You have two paths. One way is to increase the utility as a weapon that is farther and stronger. The other is a way of honing sophistication and meticulousness to lay the groundwork for pattern art.”

 

The former is the direction to go through the path pursued so far to the end, and the latter is the direction to seek a new path even if we stop for a while.

 

“I’ll show you the video for easy reference. I’ll give you permission, so ask the audiovisual room for materials. The choice is yours.”

“Okay, Instructor.”

“Great. So today, we thoroughly grasp the basics of shaping. Please follow me.”

 

Wow! Watching the air distort, I also poured crimson waterfalls from my wrists.

 

I thought it was really interesting to spread, share, and combine blood ink by swinging a brush against a pure white background.

I myself thought of 『Blood Flow Manipulation (E)』 as a camouflage to be used only in school life, but the fact that people around the world are seriously looking for how to use it.

 

The idea is different from the reality in which the existence of supernatural powers remained in the realm of fantasy and hobbies at best.

A world where research on all kinds of paranormal abilities is being realized collectively and professionally. He is excited about the experience of having encountered that fragment. Would you say that the inspiration wells up?

 

In fact, 『Blood Flow Manipulation (E)』 was chosen with several stepping stones in mind, including self-harm on the first day. The characteristic to be used as the real main force had to be considered separately.

It was originally planned to be replaced with another talent after dropping out of the academy, but now that I discovered its potential, I think it’s okay to leave it alone.

 

Although the form will be slightly different.

 

“·······Whew.”

“Let’s leave it here today. Let’s make a decision by next week.”

“Yes, Instructor Jensen.”

 

I hope you are immersed in the flow of the red line for a while. As soon as the thought of ‘what time is now?’ comes to mind, the end signal drops.

As I stood in the designated spot, wiping the sweat from my forehead with my forearm, I heard a sound as if the pages were turning quickly this time.

 

It is a vision in which segmented spaces are overlapped one after another, as if unfolding a piece of paper is folded again. Whenever one plane overlaps, one person is created in the empty space, and in the end, dozens of prints are printed.

It was a process of integrating the results of the lectures divided into their own worldlines.

 

Koo! The floating sensation disappeared with one last big press, and Instructor Jensen frowned and pressed his temple to his face.

 

“With this, the 3rd week of telekinesis training is over. Then, everyone can rest in peace.”

“Thank you!”

“You have worked hard!”

“I will see you next week!”

 

With the buzzing greetings, the calm cadets cast off the subdued atmosphere and regain their vitality.

 

There are children who get together and leave and talk about after school, but I still have one more afternoon training left.

Fortunately, I have plenty of time to rest, so it’s okay to be a little late. It’s good enough to even take a nap. Let’s take it easy.

 

I was sweating, so I thought I should wash up first and turned around-

 

– That’s where I noticed a sense of incongruity. But without hesitation, without wrinkling his brow, he walks quietly and softly.

 

In such a case, I think I did well by acquiring 『Immortalism (E)』.

Even the moment you sweat by overworking your body to exhaustion is the same as the moment you put cold water on the sink and look in the mirror and calm down.

 

As I said before, 『Distortion of Perception (A)』 twists the perception of others.

It is also a characteristic that I always maintain by relying on the precept of using me in a way that disguises me as harmless beings like water or wind and draws future magical powers.

 

As an additional effect, I can sense the perception towards me, the object to be twisted.

For example, the detection of gaze. It also works as an alarm that reads the shaking of consciousness and lets you know who is paying attention when and where.

 

And the reason why I wrote 『Blood Flow Manipulation (E)』 as an initial characteristic was also because it was the power that made it possible to create shapes with the will.

For the purpose of including one of the main characters of the original work in a place close to him in the scope of surveillance.

 

An implementer who creates thousands of shapes with magical powers.

The son of the hero who saved the world, the genius of mana management, and the ascendant of the future rival of the work.

At this point, the closest opponent to Shin Haram.

 

“·················ogue.”

 

Now, Cheon Murin recognizes me as an individual, not a member of the crowd.
