Possessor #2 Just Wants to Fangirl Chapter 60

The moment I entered the dorm building, a DM arrived from Ha Seonwoo.

|Ha Seonwoo| Left the item in the unmanned parcel locker, so don’t forget to check

When I checked the contents, they were manastones.

292 F-grade manastones from the goblin I’d dealt with on my first day of possession.

|Ha Seonwoo| Did you check?

|Yeon Sora| Yes, thank you for delivering them personally! For the Vice Guild Master to personally…

|Ha Seonwoo| Haha, I brought them on my way. But is there a reason you’re receiving them physically?

|Yeon Sora| Just going to use them as experimental materials

‘As expected, it looked strange?’

F-grade manastones are normally converted to account deposits at the current market rate, or else exchanged for B-grade or higher manastones.

They’re kind of like… 10-won coins.

Not that they have no value, but nobody carries around hundreds of 10-won coins.

But I need 10-won coins.

And lots of them!

‘Because my copier’s usage fee is 10 mana!’

Operating the skill copier requires mana potions, but using high-capacity potions doesn’t give me more chances.

In other words…

Put in a 10-won coin, one usage chance.

Put in a 500-won coin, one usage chance.

Then it’s better to carry around tons of 10-won coins.

Meaning I need to manufacture low-capacity potions using F-grade manastones…

‘Do I have to make them myself?’

…Like hell.

My terrible alchemy skills won’t skyrocket overnight.

Let’s not be stubborn and leave it to people who’re good at it!

【Post #45249823423: Looking for skilled senior alchemist】

Looking for a skilled senior who can make 10-mana potions from F-grade manastones.

Compensation is 30,000 gold per potion.

Manastones will be provided by me.

—————=

I posted on the academy marketplace, and within less than 30 minutes, over twenty applicants contacted me.

From an upperclassman’s perspective, this is a sweet part-time gig.

Once that was arranged, next is…

【Account Balance: 362,075,000 gold】

An unrealistic amount greeted me, and mild identity confusion set in.

‘I really went through with it…’

I thought I was prepared to offer up not just my bank account and entire fortune for my bias, but even the household pillars, no, the deep underground bedrock water below the roots… yet here I am… having extracted cash from my bias.

‘It’s okay! Ha Seonwoo is one of <On the Brink of Destruction>’s biggest tycoons, so this amount won’t faze him! It’s not for my greed but destruction prevention funds! It’s necessary to save my babies, to save Ha Seonwoo-ssi…’

Even piling up self-rationalization and excuses didn’t recover the damage.

Because Ha Seonwoo-ssi made an extremely bitter face while depositing.

He likes money, after all.

Still, what’s done is done, so let’s do what needs to be done.

【Will you purchase <Ocypete’s Feather>, <Philippides’ Shoes>, <Protection Barrier Bracelet (A)>?】

【Purchase complete】

【Total Balance: 184,055,000 gold】

I quickly accessed Hunter Market and slammed through the payment.

These are items that raise agility, stamina, and durability respectively.

With just these items, I won’t die at least.

‘Money really is nice after all.’

As my baby said, money can’t buy happiness, but it can avoid misfortune—I’ve now managed to avoid the worst misfortune.

The panic I felt when I first saw the twins has vanished without a trace.

No matter what incident occurs, what I need to do is simple.

‘Let’s stick to the principles!’

According to the 6+3=9 principle, villains who appeared in the original are my babies’ share.

Let me do my work.

What I need to do right now is…

|Yeon Sora| Could we meet briefly before the study group? I had a worrying dream…

Give the next prophecy to Gyeon Junhwi.

This prophecy session is scheduled to be quite substantial.

There’s so much to convey.

Park Rahee is the mastermind’s subordinate, one mastermind is connected to Park Rahee’s orphanage, the true culprit of the monster escape incidents is the grasshopper, the grasshopper is the mastermind’s experiment, and I need to tell him the grasshopper’s functions…

Honestly, my shoulders are rising with pride.

At this level, doesn’t it rival a real prophet?

However,

|Gyeon Junhwi| I have circumstances today that make it difficult. Let’s talk tomorrow

An unbelievable thing happened.

Gyeon Junhwi… rejected the prophecy.

* * *

Gyeon Junhwi is a character who calculates every possibility.

He has preparation bordering on obsessive-compulsive disorder—needing to have Plans A, B, C, D, E, F ready before he can sleep soundly.

My baby who goes around collecting every bit of information for his plans rejected a prophecy?

There’s 100% something going on.

Sure enough.

Gyeon Junhwi who came to the study group was completely different from usual.

“Sorry for suddenly changing locations, I made a reservation mistake.”

What’s going on here?

The kid who’s always casting charm offensive eye-smiles is now showing off pure boyish charm today.

Fresh and bright—a human vitamin!

I’ve seen Gyeon Junhwi’s innocent mode, sorrowful mode, and decadent mode, but vitamin mode is a first, so my left and right ventricles are wildly pounding.

My baby really has no weak points!

“Ki Hyeonmin said he’s not feeling well and can’t come today, but I think we should proceed with the lecture anyway… Does anyone have something prepared?”

The secret is definitely the eyes.

The inner corners are cute and round while the outer corners are so seductively drooped that depending on how wide he opens them, they create an insane atmosphere and knead people’s hearts.

“Yeon Sora, could I ask you?”

That innocent gaze suddenly turned toward me without warning.

Did you think I’d be happy when you look at me like that?

You’re right, do it more…

“<Tower History> hasn’t progressed much in class. Start with system bugs please.”

Before I knew it, I’d stood up and was at the front of the study room.

In the study group, we’d decided each person would handle a subject and give mini-lectures.

I didn’t prepare, but I’m not worried.

“You all obviously know that inside the Tower is a game, right? But this game has an insane number of bugs. For example, there’s a floor where inventory doesn’t open at all, while on other floors boss mobs respawn more than 5 times. Some floors you can’t enter at all. After clearing floor 25, you skip floor 26 and go straight to floor 27. We call these errors system bugs.”

While regurgitating content from the story and doing whatever-comes-to-mind parade, I somehow managed to shape it into a lecture.

Being in a position where I could make eye contact with everyone alternately was also good for blatantly observing my baby.

Gyeon Junhwi is still maintaining vitamin mode.

Now that my wits have returned, I can roughly guess why my baby is acting this way.

Should I check for a moment?

“Anyway. System bugs can be disadvantages, but they can also be advantages. Bugs aren’t necessarily bad. For example, on certain floors bugs occur like ‘wind-type ability attack power increases 20 times.'”

I spouted the nonsense that ‘attack power increases a whopping 20 times,’ yet he doesn’t correct me.

My baby absolutely hates these kinds of numerical errors…

He’s flinching but exercising patience and enduring.

“There are two ways to discover bugs. Open source information, purchasing from guilds or adventurers. Open source is free…”

“Wait, hold on! There’s also Revelation, right?”

“Ah, right. Sometimes temples give ‘Revelation’ as a reward, and bug information can appear in those too.”

“I heard bug information can also appear when deciphering relics.”

“Right? Cancel that it’s two methods. There are just various methods.”

Next I made a mistake Lee Hyojun would point out, and Gyeon Junhwi eagerly jumped on board. He looks oddly relieved while correcting.

After making a few more mistakes, it became certain.

My baby is currently doing ‘if you want to hide a tree, hide it in a forest.’

He wants to blend in as an ordinary student.

There’s only one reason for that.

When leaving the study room, my suspicion became certainty.

Because one of the twin TAs was in front of the study room.

“Oh? Aren’t you cadets from our class? What are you doing here? All together.”

“We were having a study session.”

“Diligent from the start of the semester!”

Study rooms are placed throughout the library stacks, so it could be coincidence he was passing by…

But Gyeon Junhwi suddenly changed locations.

The twins appeared at the changed location.

This can’t be coincidence!

Looking around, it was clear he’d deliberately selected this location.

Since my baby is still in vitamin mode, I decided to ask questions for him.

“What brings you here, TA?”

“Why would I come to the library—to look at materials.”

“You must be busy preparing for class.”

“Right, it’s the first practical training so there’s lots to prepare for? I’ve been here for an hour already.”

“Here… you’ve been looking at class materials? For an hour?”

At my words, everyone simultaneously turned their heads to look at the materials displayed in the stacks.

The materials in this section all have similar titles.

<My Child Is Acting Strange!>

<How to Become the World’s Strongest Dad>

<Awakening Needs Early Education! Let’s Manage from the Fetus!> …

“What! You said you were preparing for class but you’ve been studying childcare!”

“T-TA, you’re young but y-you have a baby?”

“Haha, sorry. You caught me.”

“Did you get married early?”

“How old is the baby?”

“No, it’s not that… I have a nephew.”

Judging by how he’s flustered and backstepping, it’s obvious.

This is why Gyeon Junhwi postponed our prophecy session.

In case he’s being monitored.

The twin villains’ identity is necromancers.

Their combat power itself isn’t that high, but they have quite troublesome techniques, one of which is ‘Eyes of the Dead.’

An ability to attach spirits for 24-hour surveillance.

In the original, they were attached to Ki Hyeonmin and another named character, but this time they seem to be attached to Gyeon Junhwi. Gyeon Junhwi wanted to confirm it.

‘I can’t prophesy just anytime.’

Because I can’t talk about the grasshopper in front of spirit stalkers.

|Yeon Sora| Let me know when circumstances allow. It’s important.

I sent that DM and decided to wait quietly.

My baby knows how to briefly shake off spirits, so he’ll contact me when circumstances permit.

Four days still remain until the practical training, so he’ll call soon.

Up until then, I didn’t know.

That I’d spend the worst days since possession.

* * *

D-3.

Full-scale practical training began.

I attempted stamina training with Yeon Sora’s body and repeatedly collapsed and fainted from exhaustion.

When I regained consciousness, Professor Joo was in front of me.

Apparently he’ll teach personally since I’m a special ability user.

When I opened my eyes, it was the middle of the night.

From DMs the kids left, I learned I’d fainted during class.

I couldn’t see my babies.

Gyeon Junhwi didn’t contact me either.

* * *

D-2.

Hell continued again.

I fainted again.

But God blessed us with stamina potions and resurrection potions!

However, Professor Joo was greater than potions.

When I opened my eyes, it was 8 PM.

Still, thanks to the potions I could at least see my babies’ faces.

Ki Hyeonmin was as expected devoting himself to stat upgrades at the training ground.

Min Dorim was giving special training to Yeom Juwan and Han Boram. I heard a brief explanation of how Boram ended up getting trained, but it seriously lacked detail.

Gyeon Junhwi was also at the club room as expected.

I sent a DM but was left on read.

* * *

D-1.

This time there was no hell.

They cut me slack because tomorrow’s the real thing.

At lunch I saw Gyeon Junhwi for the first time in a while, and gave an ambiguous prophecy like ‘I dreamed Park Rahee got hurt during the practical training and there were tons of monsters around.’

Still, no summons came.

3 PM.

I saw Gyeon Junhwi whispering suspiciously with a student from another class in the distance.

But he didn’t whisper suspiciously with me.

6 PM.

During dinner, Gyeon Junhwi and Ki Hyeonmin didn’t appear.

Apparently they were called to a student council assembly.

Apparently the elections ended while I was fainting.

Gyeon Junhwi and Ki Hyeonmin became class representatives, Yoo Seoha became student council president, and Min Dorim became vice president.

No surprises.

I’d protected the original flow I worked so hard to maintain.

But…

What is this feeling?

The scene where Yoo Seoha and Min Dorim first become conscious of Gyeon Junhwi, the scene where Gyeon Junhwi arbitrarily volunteers to take charge of a solo project with Ki Hyeonmin…

They’ll happen as scheduled.

Where I can’t see them.

A question I’ve never had before arose.

‘Is this principle really right?’

The success formula I made my possession iron rule.

6+3=9.

This means, essentially, that 6 and 3 operate separately.

Can I really endure that?

The plot bait famine of the past few days is driving me crazy.

The world is colorless.

There’s no joy in life.

When I’m with my biases, I savored every 5 minutes split into nano units, my heart pounded at every glance and lip shape, but the past few days are hazy.

I have no memory.

I do have it, but there’s no soul.

‘Should I just flip the script completely?’

Honestly, if I had my way, I’d like to take the initiative and grab the kids by the collar and drag them along.

I even came up with a brilliant idea for doing exactly that!

While I was at it, I even bought the supplies.

And then I regretted it.

Because doing this would make my babies sidekicks, and I don’t like that either…

‘Should I just come out as a prophet at this point?’

That’s not bad either.

I bought the necessary supplies for it.

But I hesitated again.

Because if I become the prophet, a dynamic formed where Ki Hyeonmin relies on me and Gyeon Junhwi views me as a rival.

Even if I step forward, I should do it when their relationship is solid.

‘Right, let’s just leave it to Gyeon Junhwi. The situation’s just bad this time. Let’s be patient and wait.’

Once the twins disappear, Gyeon Junhwi will unite us on his own.

Waiting for that is right.

But… will he really unite us?

If he’d had that intention, wouldn’t he have sought out the prophet this time too?

No, he couldn’t because he’s being monitored.

No, but still, if he really wanted to, he could’ve come…

“Haaa, I really don’t know anymore.”

It’s confusing, truly.

* * *

At the same time.

There was someone sighing while looking down at a shattered pendulum.

“There was no better vessel than this… such a waste.”

He’d ruined a vessel obtained with difficulty.

Getting caught up tracking bizarre phenomena and losing time was the disaster.

“What on earth is this…”

He’d thought it was similar waves to before.

But it wasn’t consecutive small waves.

The future is changing.

In real-time.

In unpredictable directions.

The wave he’d thought was small became a typhoon then subsided.

Shortly after, a tidal wave rose, and the calm surface surged again becoming a flood covering the land.

Moreover…

One of the constantly changing flows had enough power to shake the world’s fate.

The man called for a subordinate waiting outside.

“Contact the twins please.”
