Possessor #2 Just Wants to Fangirl Chapter 179

The golden sword was a sun sword!

‘Amazing!! Insane!! It’s such a perfect fit! Right, our Hyeonmin is light itself!! The world revolves around Hyeonmin at its center!!!!’

While I covered my mouth with one hand and smacked my thigh with the other, gradually releasing this excitement, the team members coolly analyzed the situation.

“Can only Ki Hyeonmin use it?”

“We should at least confirm with others….”

We reached the conclusion to try the golden sword one person at a time clockwise.

Everyone held the dagger and closed their eyes… but the sun didn’t rise. Because among freshmen, only our Hyeonmin can do that.

And before I knew it, it’s my turn.

“Concentrate.”

Hyeonmin, when you radiate that halo while speaking with that luminous skin, how can this noona concentrate?

…is what I didn’t say, obediently closing my eyes instead.

I feel cool metal at my fingertips. Carefully groping to avoid cuts, I detect mana’s characteristic slippery, cool sensation.

Swiiish—

This is where it really starts.

Mythic-grade relics don’t auto-fire. I need to release this mana to radiate light like the sun, but I don’t know how.

Then, Hyeonmin’s husky voice became my audio guide.

“Picture the scene in your head.”

That’s not difficult.

I can vividly picture numerous light beams gathering around Hyeonmin, emanating light with enough force to blow away the universe.

Maybe I have talent?

“Now draw that scene with your hands.”

“……?”

“Imagination only has meaning when manifested in reality.”

‘That’s impossible though?’

My talent is specialized in viewing.

I’ve never done productive fangirling.

“Next is Yeom Juwan.”

When I opened my eyes, Hyeonmin had already retrieved the dagger and was handing it to Juwan.

A few seconds later,

Vrrrmmm—

The dagger glowed in Juwan’s hand. It didn’t emit light beams like Hyeonmin’s, but vivid light rose along its outline.

It disappeared shortly after, but it’s the best result among us. Well, our Juwan is also a talent hoarder!

“We can do special training.”

“What about besides the golden sword?”

“That’s too much right now. The information volume is so vast I can’t search alone. Time-wise it’s impossible.”

“That’s unfortunate….”

Hyeonmin giving Juwan one-on-one tutoring concluded the meeting. As team members stood up, they gazed at the hologram window with lingering eyes.

————————

We still haven’t obtained three treasures.

A situation where we have to treasure hunt while waging war with the mastermind.

“I’ll go hang blackout curtains in that room. Can’t have light leaking outside.”

“Then we’ll move to the dining table. Seems like we should focus on investigating numbers 7 and 8….”

The moment everyone scattered, I grabbed Go Daesik’s sleeve. Then I pointed at a specific part of the hologram with my fingertip.

4. Golden branches/throne (Secured, 17% interpreted)

17% interpreted.

Meaning Go Daesik has found materials.

“Give me that data.”

“Not right now.”

“Why?”

“That’s a marker showing how far the search has progressed. It’s separate from comprehension level, and if you look now, there’s a high possibility only biased materials will come out….”

I don’t understand what he’s saying, but he’s utterly firm.

I clenched both fists tight and put power into my eyes.

“That golden throne! It’s not an ordinary object!”

“I know. It’s the chair the Delphic priestess used, right?”

“Exactly!!!! The world’s greatest prophet!!!!”

Who is the Delphic priestess!

The figure who provided ‘oracles’ in Greek mythology.

She was so renowned that contemporary monarchs came bowing with armfuls of gifts begging ‘please tell my fortune,’ and even the Olympian gods had their fates entangled in her oracles.

“That priestess sat in a chair exactly like this every time she prophesied!!!!! It’s an incredible object!!!”

In other words, it’s like a legendary acceptance chair that a family that produced 30+ Seoul National University valedictorians across generations always used on exam day!!!

‘If I just use this, I can escape prophet-trainee status!’

Just sitting on it seems like prophecies will pop out. Then I can see the mastermind’s plans, destruction schedule, and the future!!!!

But my desperate feelings didn’t reach him.

“So what?”

Go Daesik calmly closed the hologram window. He’s a late-joining member, so he doesn’t know about the mastermind, destruction, or prophet yet.

If I tell him now he’ll probably run away, so I plan to reveal it after we’ve crossed life-threatening situations together.

“Let’s discuss that later. Go Daesik, Seong Hayul. Let’s start the meeting.”

Junhwi must understand my feelings… but he lightly ignored me and started the common sense edition of the data research meeting.

‘Just give me the materials you’ve found so far!!!! Why won’t you!!!! I want to know how to use the miraculous prophet chair!!!’

I want to protest, but if I voice this, there’s a high possibility Junhwi will dislike me.

I must not rebel against my baby.

Therefore, I decided to protest timidly.

“Boram, let’s solve the golden throne assembly puzzle!”

“Okay!”

The golden throne looks like the plastic tripod inside pizza delivery boxes.

It’s structured to become a throne when you assemble the ‘Goddess’s Vessel’ found on the 3rd floor with three ‘golden branches’ obtained on the 6th floor.

Clatter! Clatter!

I grabbed one leg and spun it counterclockwise—it disassembled. Being made of metal, it’s quite noisy.

“No wait, let’s reassemble!”

“Okay!”

“Wait! Let’s only do half!”

“Okay!”

CLATTER!!!! CLATTER!! Rattle-rattle-rattle!!!

As I protested nonverbally with crescendoing noise, Junhwi abruptly stood up and approached.

He’s smiling sweetly, but I can see a slightly raised vein on his smooth forehead.

“How about you two go into the room? You have lots to do separately, right?”

* * *

Junhwi personally escorted us to the bedroom. Hearing the door close with a BANG, Boram’s shoulders drooped.

“I, I also want to be helpful….”

“We’re helpful enough already!”

“B-but we got kicked out of the living room….”

“We weren’t banished! We’re here because we have important work too!!!”

Saying that, I spread out my supplies on the bed. The toy guns and ammunition I newly purchased today.

“Ah! B-bullets!”

“Right! We have the crucial mission of making these!”

Right, tomorrow is war.

This isn’t the time to be enchanted by a fortune-teller chair and divine years into the future. I need to manufacture ammunition for immediate use tomorrow!

That’s why Junhwi locked us up. Surely that’s it.

“Let’s work hard!”

“Yeah!”

After that for a while, Boram and I wordlessly operated the Incapacitation ammunition factory diligently.

Snap! Snap! Click-clack!

Pick up empty rounds, stuff in Incapacitation skill, put completed rounds in magazines… repeat. Repeat.

“I’m out of mana.”

“H-here!”

When my mana ran out, I one-shotted the potion bottle Boram handed me. In that sense, all the Incapacitation rounds I’m manufacturing now are sponsored by Seong Hayul.

How much time passed like that.

Boram yawned and rubbed her eyes.

“I-I’m bored….”

“There’s lots to do tomorrow, so go to sleep early.”

“N-no! I’ll help too!”

“Hmm….”

Not particularly helpful, but knowing my baby’s feelings, I decided to give her another mission.

“Actually, about the candy I got from Min Dorim sunbaenim earlier, I want to eat it secretly. Is there a method?”

I hate sticking a potion in my mouth every time I fire flame spears. But sticking my hand in my pocket is also conspicuous.

When I confided my concern about wanting to consume candy more discreetly, Boram’s face lit up.

“I, I!!!! H-have a method!”

Then she drew blueprints and pulled out modeling clay to start crafting something.

‘Come to think of it, our Boram has golden hands?’

I was curious about the progress on the figurines made from stolen DNA, but she’s concentrating too hard right now, so I’ll ask later.

Snap! Snap! Click-clack!

Squish-squish—

My back hurt like crazy, but…

This is the night before war! Thinking each round could save a life, I finished work and—

‘She fell asleep?’

Before I knew it, Boram had collapsed on the bed making snoring sounds.

After covering Boram with a blanket and recording the final ammunition count in #WhatsInMyBag… only one final task remains.

‘I need to pull out the frustrating elements!’

I have to raise Yeon Sora’s disastrous stats.

At least enough to not get kidnapped by the mastermind.

Of course, there’s a method. First of all….

Swoooosh!

After showering, I changed into a white bathrobe. Then with a clean body and mind, I reverently summoned the translucent window.

【You are provided with (1) Draw Ticket】

【Would you like to use it now? Y/N】

I saved it for this moment!

Even performed ritual cleansing, so please acknowledge my sincerity and grant me a good skill—praying as I spun the roulette.

Whirrrrrr—

【[Congratulations!] Ability Points [Won!]】

【You receive a total of (3) points. Invest in your desired stat!】

The first reward is ability points.

I’m grateful, but since I haven’t decided where to invest what I already have, it’s a bit disappointing.

No! This is an impious thought!

Swoooosh!!!

I hastily ran to the bathroom and washed my face with cold water ten times.

Then with a reverent heart again, I spun the roulette.

Whirrrrrr—

【[Congratulations!] Skill Creation [Won!]】

【If you wish for skill creation, try sending your wish to the Tower Goddess.】

Yes, this is it! Thank you, Goddess!

As expected, ritual cleansing paid off.

Now I just clasp my hands and wish for the skill I want!

‘…….’

But humans are fickle.

Until now, it was the one-and-only prophecy skill, but after obtaining the legendary prophet chair, different thoughts arise.

‘Duplicates are wasteful.’

So I placed my order as broadly as possible.

Goddess, please give me something good of your choice! Something that helps with war! Whatever’s best among what you have!!!

Then I opened my tightly shut eyes.

【There is (1) skill derived from Unique Pillar <I Want to Watch Live!>】

【Unique Skill <Hot Bean Detection!>】

【Detailed description: Can detect mana with 90% or higher purity.】

【Activation condition: Passive】

A radar appears at the bottom of my vision.

Numerous overlapping circles, with several red dots embedded in the center.

I carefully read the description. The radar seems to point to the sacred objects in the living room.

‘It’s a pure mana detector!’

Using this, I’ll know the treasures’ locations!

Being passive with absolutely no mana consumption is also appealing.

Plus… maybe it has other uses besides treasure hunting.

I immediately jumped up and ran to the room where Juwan and Hyeonmin were training.

“Want to go for a walk?”

“At this hour?”

“Yeah! I have something to check! Absolutely! Right now!”

* * *

I expected opposition, but surprisingly Hyeonmin and Junhwi gave permission.

They even lent me measuring equipment.

After leaving the building, I shouted to Juwan far away.

“Right now! How many meters away are you?”

“10 meters.”

I’m currently measuring the distance of the small overlapping circles on the radar.

As a result, I discovered that one circle equals 10 meters, and the radar’s maximum detection radius is 100 meters.

After simple confirmation,

“Can we briefly go to the medical wing?”

“Why?”

“To get another thermometer.”

Making an excuse, I headed to a new destination.

While walking to the medical wing with the radar spread at the bottom of my vision… when what I needed appeared, I stopped walking.

“Juwan, how many meters from here to the medical wing?”

“100 meters.”

My lips naturally curved up.

Because a faint red dot appeared on the radar.

Meaning there’s pure mana inside the medical wing.

‘Masterminds also use pure mana.’

Of course, the mastermind isn’t in the medical wing right now.

But beneath that medical wing is mad scientist unnie’s research lab. In that lab, the mastermind’s blood is being experimented on. I hoped this wasn’t the case, but my radar clearly shows a red dot.

‘It detects even a single drop of the mastermind’s blood?’

That’s not all.

The scientist unnie is conducting secret experiments. I saw with my own two eyes her disabling numerous security and illusion spells… but my radar detects this. My lips curved up again.

“Sora?”

“Let’s go back! I’ve confirmed!”

I confidently turned on my heel.

To summarize my new skill?

I can pinpoint the mastermind’s location within 100 meters. I can see through whatever defense and illusion magic the mastermind uses.

Surprise attacks won’t work on me! You could say it’s exactly the skill needed for war.

Thank you, Goddess!

I’ll use it well!
