Possessor #2 Just Wants to Fangirl Chapter 105

‘I did it again!!!’

In two days, I knocked down not just one but two professors. At this point, even being called a serial fainting criminal wouldn’t be unfair.

Fortunately, Professor Joo gulped down the potion and shot right up. Thank goodness the professor had taken out Resurrection Potion earlier. That was true foresight!

“Cough! Cough!”

“A-are you okay?”

“……”

I asked cautiously while reading the room, but Professor Joo just glared at me silently. I immediately lowered my eyes to the floor.

‘I should’ve given advance notice!’

I completely forgot to mention I have a criminal record of knocking out someone claiming to be past Rank 10. As a result, this situation occurred, so I share some fault.

I immediately bent at the waist 90 degrees and apologized.

“I’m sorry! I never imagined even someone like Professor Joo would be affected!”

“……”

The professor still says nothing.

Instead, he pointed somewhere with his hand, and at that spot a teleportation circle had already been summoned.

“You want me to leave first?”

“……”

Seems like he’s nodding.

Even his fingertips are trembling.

I quickly stabbed my gaze back at the floor.

‘It’s courtesy to pretend not to see things like this!’

Right, he stood there arrogantly with arms crossed thinking it was trivial, then collapsed—how embarrassed must the professor feel?

“Then I’ll take my leave!”

After bowing in greeting, I hurriedly escaped through the teleportation circle. The teleport connects to Professor Joo’s office.

“Huuu…”

I caught my breath briefly in the private space with no one around. Honestly, I’m confused too.

‘I can’t believe I knocked down Professor Joo!’

Professor Joo who was unfazed even by Yeom Juwan’s level 99 attacks collapsed from my general skill. I unintentionally used Professor Joo as a power gauge, but…

Gyeon Junhwi says: If water’s spilled, measure the volume first!

Meaning since it already happened, analyze the results with precise numbers.

‘Is my Incapacitation skill the strongest?’

If it can knock down Professor Joo, that means I can knock down virtually anyone.

I roughly know the cause.

The trait and compatibility Professor Ban mentioned.

Incapacitation must be best for my Devoted Reader trait. Though I don’t know why…

‘Not bad though?’

Killing villains with this would be impossible, but cost-wise it’s quite satisfactory.

The skill copy machine costs 10 mana per use. General skills cost 1 mana each.

I can use the most powerful skill at cheap prices. Since my total mana pool is 12, that means I can use it up to 12 times total…

“Oh? Cadet Yeon Sora?”

Suddenly the door flung open and a TA entered. The TA who’s Professor Joo’s right hand—I can’t remember the name.

“You returned alone?”

“Yes, he told me to go first…”

“I see. When will the professor return?”

“I don’t know either! Then I’ll be going!”

I quickly fled the crime scene.

* * *

Field Combat class is a three-hour class.

Because I left way too early, time remained awkwardly.

‘Need to kill 40 minutes…’

It’s an awkward time since club time is coming up soon—too in-between to go back to the dorm.

Eventually, I headed to the Broadcasting Club room. Today there’s a Strategy and Tactics Club meeting, but the Broadcasting Club has a personal editing room for Yeon Sora.

The perfect space for organizing thoughts alone.

I holed up there and spent time worrying about the future.

‘Surely… he won’t send me to the Room of Silence?’

I’m a bit worried since Professor Joo is unexpectedly petty. What if he uses this as leverage to threaten ‘Accept me as your faculty advisor or I’ll send you to the Room of Silence’…

The Room of Silence is harsh punishment where you enter a room with all five senses blocked for a week.

Professor Joo’s training room is the Room of Time and Space.

Their materials are similar, so I’m anxiously worried for no reason.

‘No, it’s fine! Professor Ban will oppose the Room of Silence!’

Please let the research lunatic stop the crazy guy!

I shook off my worries and decided to focus on other important business.

‘The hunting guy was also in Group 1?’

Field Training roughly divides into groups of 100 that proceed sequentially through classes. The first 100 are Group 1, the next 100 entering the Tower next week are Group 2… and so on up to Group 5. For reference, Lee Hyojun and No Jitae are Group 2.

Since Group 1 also has many people, classes proceed in groups of 20-30. This special curriculum class is the first time all Group 1 members gather in one place.

That’s why I only now recognized the hunting guy.

‘This time I’m also entering with a subordinate?’

Tower’s 2nd floor has all of Group 1 entering together, so it’s another training session accompanying a subordinate. Unlike Park Rahee, this is a subordinate whose name I don’t even know, but… that’s not what’s important.

What I need to figure out right now is one thing.

Will grasshoppers appear or not?

When I saw him at the movie theater before, the hunting guy tried somehow to help Park Rahee summon grasshoppers. Since he lacks summoning ability himself, he assisted Park Rahee.

Judging by that alone, he’d be assessed as lacking grasshopper summoning ability, but… this novel is <On the Brink of Destruction>.

Considering the author’s frustration plot preferences, grasshoppers should appear on Floor 2.

Survival camping with 100-plus people competing for resources all at once.

To satisfy <On the Brink of Destruction>’s frustration quotient, grasshoppers at least are necessary.

Then, assuming grasshoppers appear again?

‘Hmm, not particularly bad though?’

Sure, it’ll be difficult and inconvenient in many ways, but if I catch grasshoppers? High possibility my skills will bloom quickly!

Assuming grasshoppers appear, I decided to repurchase the grasshopper-catching supplies I used before.

I already have the butterfly net, so sticky traps, insecticide, and most useful of all, that thing!

[You have selected ultra-fine mesh net.]

[Please enter quantity]

But I hesitated slightly here.

‘Is the hunting guy the only subordinate?’

Park Rahee’s brain-death symptoms resembling the serial brain-death incident from the original bothers me.

The numerous monster escape incidents appearing in <On the Brink of Destruction>. It’s hard to view all that as Park Rahee’s solo work.

Not the work of one grasshopper breeder.

What if multiple breeders jointly operated a grasshopper farm? What if they were all disposed of together, causing the serial brain-death incident?

Multiple subordinates handling grasshoppers.

It’s not impossible that multiple subordinates entering the Tower with me this time exist.

‘The victims’ names… weren’t mentioned.’

In the original, the serial brain-death incident victims’ names weren’t mentioned. Some names appeared, but most were indicated by club and year. Since it was a club building incident.

Art Club 1st year, Monster Breeding Club 3rd year, etc.

Anyway… there are 4 first-year victims.

[Quantity: Total 12]

[Please confirm to proceed to payment]

Generously preparing three nets per person, I swept up the remaining grasshopper elimination items when—

Ding-dong-dang-dong

The bell rang.

I boldly closed the shop and moved.

Today there’s a Strategy and Tactics Club meeting!

Plus… it’s my unnie’s birthday!

* * *

All Strategy and Tactics Club members quickly presented their individual club activity contents in 30 minutes, then held a simple birthday party.

Yoo Seoha’s best friend, Lee Hyorim, pulled out a cute cake.

“Today’s Seoha’s birthday, so I specially bought cake too!”

Carrot cake.

Carrot…

Come to think of it, I feel like I asked the author to wave some carrots sometime, and right now before my eyes, cute little orange carrots are lined up in a row.

But those aren’t real carrots—they’re carrots made with sugar craft. Can these count as carrots!

…That’s not what’s important!

“Sunbaenim! This is a gift!”

I pulled a beautifully wrapped package from my inventory and held it out to Yoo Seoha unnie.

Unnie looked quite surprised.

“How did you know my birthday?”

Hmm, come to think of it, was unnie’s birthday a secret known only to a few? Last year she was so harassed by sasaeng fans that she thoroughly kept personal information private.

“Min Dorim sunbaenim told me.”

“D-Dorim did?”

Right, let’s go with that.

Even if Min Dorim vehemently denies it, it’ll just look like he’s shy anyway.

Unnie who unwrapped the gift tilted her head, and I began explaining the gift specs.

“It’s called a rulebook—apparently when you write rules in here, it automatically sorts them into similar categories.”

“Whoa really?”

As expected, my unnie likes it! I knew it!

Actually, I used the possessor cheat a bit.

In the original, Yoo Seoha only discovers this item next month, but it was very useful for my unnie trying to completely overhaul school regulations.

“Thank you! I’ll use it well!”

Our unnie is world-lovely today too.

That beauty! That elegance! That atmosphere! What to do?

Looking so noble while boldly overturning all school rules with such audacity! That gap is one of my unnie’s charm points.

Clunk—

Yoo Seoha opened her inventory, pulled out a small box, and stored the gift I gave inside. Looking at it, seems like a box for storing birthday gifts received today… but a familiar ring caught my eye.

“Senior, who gave you that ring?”

“This? Someone left it as a gift in front of my room.”

“Who?”

“There was no sender name… Though I’ve wanted it for a while, it feels awkward so I’m planning to get it inspected once.”

Aigoo, Min Dorim-ssi, why are you like this?

Not even particularly introverted, yet only acting strange in front of Yoo Seoha.

Quite high-maintenance.

Still, as the major shareholder of YooMin coin, my only romance stock, I decided to step in a bit.

“That… looks similar to what Min Dorim sunbaenim showed me…”

“Dorim did?”

“Oooh~ what! Are you two in a thing?”

“You bicker every day but when did the relationship shift?”

“N-no. It’s just because we’re president and vice president.”

Unnie’s face doesn’t even turn red.

Does she still have no interest in Min Dorim?

Anyway.

We spent the remaining club time eating cake and having lively chatter. With the mastermind not causing trouble, it’s truly peaceful school life.

Feels like the first time since possessing.

At first the seniors bombarded me with twin-related questions, but my unnie cut them off sharply so there were no problems.

“Hmm, then…”

Lee Hyorim looked at me with a mischievous face.

A face dying to tease.

“This training is Floor 2, right? Floor 2…”

“The place where you learn humans are scarier than monsters, huhu.”

“A space to directly experience numerous sabotage! The place where you learn the basics of human distrust!”

Scaring freshmen game. Lee Hyorim and other seniors next to her joined in, but having already read the original, I know everything that will happen, so I passed over it indifferently.

That apparently didn’t sit well, so soon a simple supplies test followed.

“What food are you taking?”

“Freeze-dried food.”

“Ooh? You knew that? But even if you go to the mart now, there won’t be any, right? Punks stockpiling is a tradition here.”

“Already bought it last week.”

“What?! Water?”

“Purification stone and leather water pouch.”

“What! Do you have academy alumni in your family?”

Huhu, to a possessor this much is nothing!

Of course I prepared the items our Junhwi prepared, and just in case, I secured extras for my babies’ portions too in advance. Thanks to Junhwi making me famous, my bank account being thick also helped.

After having peaceful dessert time like that, when things were winding down, I heard slightly concerning conversation.

“Right, I heard Professor Joo cancelled all afternoon classes today?”

“Huh? Professor Joo Minuk?”

“I heard he cancelled tomorrow’s upper-year classes too.”

“Why?”

“Don’t know. Something important came up. Isn’t this the first time?”

“At least the first time during my attendance.”

“Sunbae’s 3rd year though!”

“What suddenly happened?”

Something… feels ominous?
