Possessor #2 Just Wants to Fangirl Chapter 68

What skill should I use to spread good rumors?

When I opened Yeom Juwan’s section in the skill tree, the list unfurled.

【There are (62) available skills.】

– Fireball

– Fire Bolt

– Fire Storm

…

There are 62 total options, but 26 of them are general skills, 10 are lifestyle skills, and the early ones are too basic for attacks.

Even scrolling down to the later skills, the choice wasn’t easy.

Detonating a nuke might vaporize my babies too, and a skill that only attacks over there without harming this side…

While I was agonizing over this decision, my surroundings weren’t giving me quiet thinking time.

“Yeon Sora, why are you stalling?”

“I’m trying something new.”

“A new attempt in this situation… Good attitude. People grow through trials.”

Persuading the transparent-hearted villain was easy, but brushing off my babies’ restraints was different.

“S-Sora… you’re g-going out there?”

“Yeon Sora, don’t overdo it. I can handle this.”

“Just stay still.”

Yeom Juwan, Han Boram, and Ki Hyeonmin issued a stay-indoors order. Meanwhile, Gyeon Junhwi was punching calculator buttons trying to persuade me.

“Your skill can remotely and accurately eliminate enemies. There’s no need to go outside—you can activate it from in here. Wouldn’t it be better to keep using your existing skill?”

‘This is getting complicated in a new way.’

The only skill I’ve publicly revealed so far is ‘Flame Baptism.’

Not that I intended it… it just happened somehow?

It was a skill I liked from the start, the accuracy is high, I worried about stealing my babies’ spotlight if I went too wild, and it’s still early in the semester so there haven’t been many opportunities to use it.

But right now, I don’t want to use ‘Flame Baptism.’

Yeom Juwan can slam down thousands of flame spears at once, but I can only use ten.

The skill copier costs one skill per coin, so using ‘Flame Baptism’ would consume 20 coins. Rather than that, I’m looking for a method to handle everything in one go….

“I’m calculating this in my own way too.”

Seeing Gyeon Junhwi’s eyelashes flutter like fans, he clearly doesn’t believe me at all.

My baby is logical.

To make him believe this, I’d have to explain the copier’s mechanics from scratch, but I’m not mentally prepared for that yet, and I can’t come out as a copier while the mastermind and subordinates are watching.

To get Gyeon Junhwi to just accept this….

“It’s fine, I saw it in a dream.”

This time, I see hesitation.

Now’s my chance!

I thought of an appropriate skill and charged toward the door, but suddenly felt a firm grip on my shoulder.

“Yeon Sora! Are you insane?”

This time it’s Seong Hayul shaking me vigorously while fuming.

Why is she acting up now?

“I have a plan.”

“Hey, you crazy bitch! You saw it in a dream so you’re going out to die, and I should just watch?”

You don’t even like me that much, so why are you doing this?

I can’t just knock her out with the CCTV running.

But then Seong Hayul whipped her head around.

“TAs, aren’t you going to stop this?”

“Ah….”

“Am I supposed to report that you didn’t stop a lunatic who saw a dream in a bug zone and is charging out to try a new skill and die? I have video evidence too, you know?”

This kid, seriously—making the villains uncomfortable.

But they also want to advance the plot just as much as I do.

“Ahem! Not everyone goes through the same process. In the case of unique skills, there are individuals who digest them without going through existing stages.”

“Are you saying Yeon Sora is a genius or something?”

“You won’t know unless you see it directly. That’s why we have practicals and TAs accompany you. If she’s this confident, there must be a reason. We’ll step in if it gets dangerous, so don’t worry.”

This world is truly incomprehensible.

Even the villains are being helpful.

Plus they threw in a good hint.

The current Yeon Sora will face this kind of frustrating plot development situation every time she performs.

Because she hasn’t shown much.

So rather than ‘the lunatic who saw a dream and charged out,’ being a ‘genius’ is better.

For that, I need a proper procedure.

“Seong Hayul, you have the Skill Implementation textbook, right?”

“Why would you need that….”

“I know it all, so just lend it to me.”

I snatched Seong Hayul’s textbook, quickly scanned the four stages of skill implementation section, then returned it.

“Okay, I think I’ve got it now.”

“You read it once and understand?”

“I do. Trust me.”

This is the cliché of genius stories!

Seeing something once in a book and doing it exactly with a ‘It just worked, though?’ progression!

If this were reality, such a flimsy method wouldn’t work, but I didn’t possess into a Nobel Prize-winning literary work—this world is genre fiction.

Since it’s not genre-defying, I’m confident this level will work.

“Then I’m going?”

“Wait.”

This time Ki Hyeonmin blocked me.

Haah… kids.

Let’s move the plot forward, please!

* * *

After that, quite a bit of back-and-forth ensued.

Ki Hyeonmin and my babies tried to stop me, the exasperated TAs froze the kids with binding skills saying they were disrupting class, Ki Hyeonmin broke free from that too, and I proposed a compromise that I wouldn’t go outside but would just stick my hand through the door crack.

Ah, I’m already tired….

“Then I’m really starting now, alright?”

“Go ahead.”

Creeeak—

I opened the door slightly and peeked outside, and several mummies that spotted me charged over.

They can’t enter because of the charm, but they’re waiting right in front.

Among these, my first target is…

‘You.’

The mummies I saw earlier were rotting bodies, but I can see a mummy wrapped in bandages.

A mummy dispatched from a nearby clinic.

Perfect kindling.

This is my first time using this skill too so I’m nervous, but right now I’m not alone.

“I’m sticking my hand out now, alright?”

“Understood.”

With Ki Hyeonmin’s permission, I carefully extended my hand through the door crack.

Several mummies hurried to shake hands, but—

Whoooosh—

Ki Hyeonmin’s sword wind severed those hands.

Now’s the time.

【Activating Unique Skill <Me Too, Like My Baby!>】

【Restrictions apply due to low level.】

【Usage Time: 10 seconds】

【Mana Consumed: 10】

【Casting Yeom Juwan’s skill <Dark Revolution>.】

A baseball-sized black flame sphere materialized in my hand.

When I dropped it to the ground, the baseball bounced up and began rolling forward.

From here on, I just need to retract my hand and control it through the door crack.

Roll-roll-roll—

The black orb rolls slowly forward.

Black flames erupt along the path the orb travels.

I concentrated my will and sent the orb toward the bandaged mummy.

Fwoooosh—

The mummy instantly turned to ash and scattered.

The orb gained speed.

Now begins the acceleration phase.

【Usage Time: 7 seconds】

The faster it goes, the trickier controlling the orb becomes.

Like a planet orbiting the sun, I must keep it from breaking orbit, make it circle while sparing only this house.

Can’t look back at the path traveled.

Must only look ahead and run.

【Usage Time: 4 seconds】

The black orb spins at insane speed.

So fast it might break orbit and attack everything if I’m not careful.

Scary yet somehow… familiar.

Similar to the racing games I was quite addicted to once.

Just need to pay attention to cornering and it’s somewhat controllable.

Not thinking with my head but sensations my body remembers.

How much to turn the wheel, when to brake…

Entrusting my body to the sensations I remember moment by moment, I let the black flame orb race.

【Usage Time: 0 seconds】

The instant time expired, the black flame vanished.

“Phew….”

Only then did I exhale in relief and check the results.

Through the 3-centimeter door crack, there’s only darkness outside.

Need to open it a bit more….

“Um… Ki Hyeonmin?”

My baby is frozen in pause mode, staring ahead.

His lips are in old-style font.

‘Right, this is surprising.’

This would be a ‘What’s up with this guy?’ moment.

What I just used was Yeom Juwan’s calamity-class skill. A skill where one awakener produces power rivaling natural disasters.

It’s a signal that Yeon Sora’s genius certification worked.

“Can I open the door?”

“……”

No answer, so I just opened the door wide.

The ground before my eyes, every building—all black. Meaning I eliminated everything in this radius.

Operation success!

Now I just need to wrap this up!

Turn around and certify to the people waiting inside, then deliver the final line.

But,

“……”

“……”

“……”

Silence flows. Everyone seems unable to believe what they saw with their own eyes.

They need time to understand this with common sense.

In a moment, lines like ‘Is this real…’ ‘I can’t believe it…’ will come, so let’s wait.

“……”

“……”

“……”

I waited a bit more in the silence, but there’s no sign of it ending.

Eventually, I had no choice but to scratch the back of my head and deliver the line myself.

“Haha, it actually worked?”

Even after going this far, nobody’s saying anything.

This is kind of hurtful.

Yeon Sora being a genius shouldn’t be that far outside common sense….

But only one person started moving.

“S-Sora… amazing! You’re a real genius!”

“No, I’m surprised too.”

“I-I got goosebumps! Look! My arm! It’s scary but the feeling is weird but it’s cool!”

Right, you’re the only one, Boram.

Han Boram’s common sense is a blank slate after being isolated from the world for 9 years.

That’s why she readily accepted all this.

While I patted my adorable baby, the rest still weren’t opening their mouths, so I decided to call on someone directly.

“TAs?”

The villain flinched and started moving.

“R-right. Well done. It really worked.”

“It’s all thanks to you, TAs. More importantly, could you deploy the Drone Eye?”

“Wh-why?”

“So I can check if the surroundings are safe.”

“Don’t you have one too?”

“You can’t force me to use my personal Drone Eye for practicals.”

My Drone Eye can’t be sent far away.

It’s for surveillance so the TAs can’t pull anything.

“R-right. Understood.”

“Please set up hologram sharing too.”

“R-right.”

The TA obediently sent one Drone Eye outside the house as instructed.

The shared hologram window shows only darkness.

Meaning it was affected by <Dark Revolution>.

“Raise the altitude more.”

“I-I’m doing it.”

But the screen is still all darkness.

No matter how long I wait, it’s all pitch black.

“Raise it more.”

“This is… the limit.”

“What?”

The TA barely opened his mouth and continued.

“You… seem to have annihilated the entire zone.”

* * *

Joo Hosik and Joo Hosin couldn’t believe the scene before their eyes.

Something completely incomprehensible by common sense.

A freshly awakened new student producing power rivaling this world’s natural forces….

— Fate is a power that transcends everything. You’ll know the moment you see it.

— There will be moments that transcend even the immutable laws existing in this world.

— When the moment of trial comes, they will reveal themselves.

The prophecy they’d once heard echoed in their ears.

At the time, they’d grumbled about how they were supposed to recognize such vague conditions, but…

His words were truth.

The conclusion both reached was the same.

[It was Yeon Sora?]

[It’s Yeon Sora!]

Her.

The person the superiors are searching for.

The person who will answer the Tower’s wish.

The person who will determine the fate of the world.

They understood why the superiors sought this existence.

This level of power right now.

Rivaling natural forces despite just blooming.

Then… evolving into a power that transcends space-time and even crosses dimensions isn’t impossible.

This needs to be reported as quickly as possible.

[Contact them quickly!]

[I know. But…]

[Not ‘but’—just do it!]

[That’s not it…. I can’t contact them.]

[Ah!]

Only then did they remember.

In this zone… communication doesn’t work.
