Possessor #2 Just Wants to Fangirl Chapter 109

‘Oh my, what a windfall?’

I was most surprised by today’s training results.

In just three hours, I mastered the Incapacitation skill!!!

I can now load the super-powerful fainting skill into guns, darts, and even rocks. If I feel like it, I could knock out Professor Joo-level people with a single sling throw.

As expected, my baby’s words were right.

Gyeon Junhwi says: Humans must use tools!

I was hopping around happily, and honestly even had the audacious thought ‘Aren’t I kind of a genius?’ So I checked.

“Professor, am I… possibly a genius?”

“……”

Professor Joo couldn’t say a word and just kept opening and closing his mouth. His face looked dumbfounded.

‘As expected, I should abandon the genius character….’

It’s my favorite cliché from genre novels, but everyone refuses Yeon Sora’s genius setting.

If even the enthusiastic auction participants won’t say it, there’s basically no hope. I’m honestly a bit disappointed.

After that too, Professor Joo kept asking various questions as if he couldn’t understand me.

“Why did you decide to use a gun?”

“Because I can’t do it with my body.”

“I’m curious how you reached the conclusion that your body can’t do it. Why didn’t you even consider developing your own strength?”

“This isn’t something that can be overcome with effort.”

Professor Joo seems completely unable to understand why I decided to use a gun from the start. He doesn’t know how hopeless Yeon Sora’s physical abilities are.

That’s the difference between the strongest and a nobody.

The strongest try to develop somehow through effort, but nobodies accept what won’t work from the start and don’t even try.

This is the aesthetics of giving up!

What does it matter whether I use guns, feet, or other people’s hands? What’s important is taking down the lion.

Anyway, I achieved what I wanted.

I can now knock anyone out!

Ding-dong-dang-dong—

“Can you stay a bit longer?”

Professor Joo held me back with an enigmatic gaze, but the class bell already rang. My answer is decided.

“I’m sorry. I have club activities.”

Today’s club is the Meditation Club!

Absolutely can’t miss it!!

* * *

What kind of place is the Meditation Club!

It’s the club where my baby #6, Min Dorim, is president.

“Min Dorim sunbae?”

Upon entering the Meditation Club room, I immediately approached my target. I’ve been waiting for this time for quite a while.

“Did you look at the ring properly?”

“Ring?”

I deliberately squinted my eyes and made the most sinister face possible, but Min Dorim is looking at me with eyes saying ‘What nonsense are you spouting?’ An extremely confident attitude.

“If you have time for pointless talk, Yeon Sora, you go first. Sit in the meditation chair.”

The meditation chair looks like a massage chair.

When you sit here and meditate, you can check your state of mind-clearing on a separate hologram screen. When worries are detected, they display in red, and depending on where they appear, you can glimpse what kind of concerns you have.

Min Dorim tilted his head while looking at my diagram.

“You really have no worries? This is my first time seeing someone like this.”

“I do though? I have lots of concerns.”

“Not concerns—worries.”

Now that he mentions it, I don’t really know the difference.

“But what are worries? Come to think of it, I’ve only used it when making jokes, so I don’t know the exact definition?”

“Mm… suffering arising from thoughts?”

“I think too, you know?”

What, this is kind of annoying too.

This isn’t something to say to a possessor who works hard every day to prevent destruction.

When I got slightly indignant, Min Dorim laughed.

“It’s not thinking that’s important—it’s the suffering that matters.”

“I suffer plenty, you know?”

“Using expressions like ‘plenty’ and ‘you know?’ from the start is a fail. Come out for now, let the next person in.”

I obediently climbed out of the meditation chair and sat right next to Min Dorim.

Something… I was startled because his laugh was different from usual. For a moment he seriously shredded the word ‘handsome.’

“Next!”

Min Dorim was diligently reading the diagrams of people sitting in the meditation chair. Looking with my own eyes, other people really are full of red worries.

While observing that, a question suddenly arose.

“Min Dorim sunbaenim?”

“Eek!”

“Why so startled?”

He’s been right next to me the whole time, yet suddenly jumping made me startle and hop in response. Min Dorim stroked his chest while muttering in a disgruntled tone.

“Why is your presence like that?”

“What about my presence?”

“From now on, don’t approach from the side or back, approach from the front!”

Come to think of it, he does seem to jump excessively whenever I approach. But I can guess the reason for this too.

“Ah, actually I have Sleeping Beauty disease. My body is quite seriously weird.”

“…Why did you start talking to me then?”

“What make you suffer, sunbaenim?”

I’m a bit curious.

Min Dorim is a character who, similar to me, has grasped the aesthetics of giving up. He goes around shouting ‘Life only happens once! Let go of everything and live comfortably!’—a layabout… so why is he the Meditation Club president?

He says it’s because it’s bothersome, because others thrust it on him, but looking at his actual actions, he guides quite diligently. Moreover, Min Dorim has never once disclosed his own worry diagram.

“Were you and I close enough to share each other’s suffering?”

“We can just start doing that from now on, right?”

“With you?”

Min Dorim wore a playful face while just shrugging his shoulders. He has absolutely no intention of answering.

Well, I didn’t expect it from the start anyway.

I was just probing.

“Then why do you dote on Juwan so much? Of course he’s insanely pretty, but still, enough to give him special training?”

“He’s cute, isn’t he?”

“Sunbaenim, you said you hate bothersome things.”

“Why, jealous?”

“I was wondering if you have a younger sibling. Like when you see Juwan, it reminds you of your sibling?”

This is just pure curiosity.

In the story, besides Min Dorim and Yoo Seoha’s love story, there wasn’t particularly any personal story described.

There was one scene where family visited though.

“Come to think of it sunbaenim, you had an older brother, right?”

Suddenly a giant hand pressed down on my head and messed it up roughly. When I tidied my hair and glared, Min Dorim wore a mischievous smile.

“You little brat, did you tell Yoo Seoha about that?”

“About what?”

“The ring.”

Something feels like a forced topic change… seems I accidentally touched something I shouldn’t.

At times like this, the polite thing is to pretend not to notice.

I raised my finger and took on a teaching posture.

“Sunbaenim, if you spent expensive money to buy a gift, you need to take credit for it. You don’t have the basics down, the basics.”

“Oh really?”

“Ah, speaking of gifts, you know what day February 14th is, right?”

“Ugh, just go. Training is tomorrow, isn’t it?”

Of course, I didn’t leave.

After that, I systematically and persistently proceeded to torment Min Dorim.

Honestly, this person also tormented our Juwan the same way, so I need to do at least this much to balance things out.

And when club ended,

“Yeon Sora.”

While briefly goofing off, Min Dorim called me so I looked straight ahead when something was flying toward me. Some fist-sized pouch-like thing was drawing a gentle parabola coming my way.

I wanted to catch it, but,

Thwack—

There’s no way Yeon Sora’s agility could handle that.

The pouch that struck my forehead dropped straight to the ground, and I rubbed the impact site while glaring at Min Dorim.

“Sunbaenim, please tell me with words. Violence is never an appropriate response under any circumstances.”

“No… can you really not catch that? Even this?”

He looks genuinely flustered.

I smiled brightly… then realizing that backfired, explained with words.

“I’m joking.”

“Ah, sorry. Really. Couldn’t imagine it.”

I picked up the pouch from the floor and opened it once—it was full of mana candy. Actually yesterday and today, I sent DMs begging to sell me just a few candies.

He left them on read, then prepared this cute gift.

But not just one or two candies—a whole fistful…

“Did something good happen?”

I can picture it.

Thanks to me tattling about the ring, unnie went and asked Min Dorim ‘Did you really give this?’ In the process, did our unnie and he get some chemistry going?

Aaaaah I want to witness it live!!!

“Hey, stop smiling like that!”

Somehow, tormenting Min Dorim is getting fun too.

As expected, possession is best during daily life sections!

* * *

After enjoying this week’s final club activity and leaving the club room, a shadow popped out.

“Cadet Yeon Sora?”

“Kyaaa!”

I just understood Min Dorim’s feelings.

When someone pops out suddenly, your heart really drops, huh.

The shadow’s identity was Professor Ban. This week had absolutely no Professor Ban classes, yet he came looking all the way here.

Professor Ban glanced at my wrist once then opened his mouth.

“I came to see how the monitoring device is working.”

“Ah, I’m using it so well. The warning went off earlier too, so I could rest before my temperature rose too high.”

“Yes, it did rise. Enough to exceed the 3% margin of error.”

Professor Ban’s eyes turned icy.

His voice also dropped to below freezing.

He came to check this.

“Why did your temperature rise?”

“Um….”

“I heard this week is 2nd floor practicals? Someone who can’t manage temperature even within the academy, going to the 2nd floor for… 2 nights and 3 days at that… I wonder if that’s truly a wise choice for humanity.”

No matter how I look at it, this nuance is flowing toward ‘I’ll briefly kidnap and confine you for Cadet Yeon Sora’s safety.’ Madness is rippling in Professor Ban’s eyes.

There’s only one existence to stop the research lunatic!

“Professor Joo was really amazing!”

“……”

“Actually, that Incapacitation skill you saw before, I learned to use it with area-of-effect application? Professor Joo conducted an eye-opening class…. My temperature rose slightly because of that, but honestly it wasn’t even dangerous and I rested 5 minutes, right?”

“……”

“Just 5 minutes—consider it thrown away time—and I mastered ‘that’ skill with area-of-effect!”

“……”

“I saw Professor Joo’s skills directly too, and he took my flame magic with his bare body and said the massage was so refreshing!”

“……”

“Ah, come to think of it, Researcher Cheon Ari also said to meet Friday….”

Let’s not forget.

If I don’t consistently inform about rivals’ existence, it’s definitely kidnapping and confinement. If I let my guard down even slightly, he’ll think ‘Your vigilance has loosened’ and take me away.

“Our Professor Joo really is amazing! I actually leaped over several years’ worth in one day, you know? Should I say it’s a feeling where growth is tangibly felt….”

“……”

As I enthusiastically praised Professor Joo, Professor Ban opened his inventory and held out a large leather pouch to me.

“What is this…?”

“The most troublesome thing on the 2nd floor is inventory not opening. This is a pouch with space expansion magic.”

“Ah, if it’s that, I already have one….”

Professor Ban wore a face saying ‘How dare you compare it to such things’ and shot back sharply.

“This pouch is a zero-gravity space pouch I personally crafted. It has absolutely no weight. Considering your physical abilities, I believe it’s the most necessary item.”

This is the core of the auction strategy.

All or nothing.

Keep raising the price and treats drop.

If price-raising fails, kidnapping and confinement.

Today’s me succeeded at raising my value and scored a free item!

But… there’s something slightly disappointing.

“Is there only one?”

“……”

“They say if you only give one of anything, the excitement dies….”
