Brainstorm

1. Late Awakening

“Hey, I heard you got a scout offer this time. ”

“Haha, who said that? It wasn't a scout, it was a visit about my abilities. ”

“Yeah? But I envy you. No matter how many talents there are, if they've already looked at you, you could be one of the top talents, right? ”

Top Talents.

It means the word that represents classification among mutations after Armageddon (when the world changed since meteorite fell on Earth).

Mutants are often able to divide into prizes, intermediates, and lower, with very few of their abilities or the top perceived to be strong capabilities.

“Haha, what top talent? Hey, abilities can vary depending on how you use them. Don't be jealous.”

“How can you not be jealous? I'm good at this. ”

An approximate 17-year-old boy stretches out his palms. The palm gradually began to drip and became broad. The boy was a shape-shifter.

“Hehe, don't be so discouraged. Anything can be special if you try. ”

“I'm going to build a Great Wall, too, they say. Reality isn't the problem. ”

“Hey, Normals see you. Stop it."

“Oh, it was on the bus, wasn't it? I forgot.”

They looked around and laughed at each other.

Armageddon happens, and there are two kinds of people in the world.

One called this being born with a special ability, and the other just called him a normal human being.

Talents are said to be the defense force of a nation. They are often born with the mission of protecting humanity from monsters and are superior to humans. In the case of Normal, on the other hand, it is the same source that makes the world go round.

They are not as powerful as the talented, but they mean those who work and live their daily lives as a society as a whole.

This distinguished us from our abilities at birth, and we could see that the top man was determined.

Scientists made numerous attempts to find out why Normal and his talents were born, but they were unable to find out why.

“I'm done with these damn normal people for today. ”

“Normal and we were born wrong anyway. It would be great if you could categorize them separately from the beginning. ”

Today is the graduation ceremony of seventeen year olds.

Under the age of 16, the country has allowed ordinary people and talents to be educated together in education.

And 17 years old, in high school, there was a difference in education between normal and talented people.

Although many high schools were distributed in each region in Korea, the schools that educated the competent were small enough to be fewer than 10 in South Korea, and it was also true that no more than 500 students were in one competent school.

Talents are not born much more than ordinary people, so we can see that they are more special because of their scarcity.

“Phew... ”

On one side, a 17-year-old boy about to graduate sighed for a long time. His face was filled with anxiety, but he seemed to have found peace shortly after a sigh.

‘Will my boring life end today……. ’

The boy looks at his hands and sighs for a long time. ’

Jangwoojin.

Born normal at the age of 17, I have been greatly ignored by the talents.

However, he was not only a well-educated boy, but also a boy who could not live a proper life because he was not ordinary.

Woojin was not a very common friend until he was 17.

When I met and talked to people carefully even at a young age, Ujin seemed strange to the teenagers, so they were probably further away from him.

Far from the children of comradeship, it turned out to be the opposite of bullying and being ignored. Even the Normals, not just the ones with abilities, were able to outrun them.

‘Dammit...... Who are you talking to? ’

If there is one thing that everyone does not know here, it is that Ujin was a capable person.

Talents are those who slowly develop their abilities when they are born.

The government has established a Talent Center because it needs to dispense a lot of Talent, where it will test and select Talent.

It was at the age of 9 that he first learned of his abilities.

Since I was a child, I often stayed home alone because of my personality. So I spent my childhood playing games in most families without hanging out with my friends.

One day, a static electricity appeared in Ujin's hand, who was playing 3D games with goggles, and the game turned off for a moment.

In a strange mood, I've seen static electricity in his hand several times while touching his hand. Then I realized it was a ability, and immediately I told my parents.

But my parents told me it wasn't power, but static electricity happened only because it was winter.

The joy of being able to be able to listen to my parents for a moment, and the joy of being able to fall down for a moment. And even if I tried to turn the static back on, it wasn't easy.

It could not have been assessed with static electricity that did not form freely until the age of 10.

And it wasn't until I was 13 that I was able to generate static electricity on my own. The shock of the static electricity was very mildly irritating.

The vast majority of talent is evident.

To be honest, I don't know if he's capable of it or not. In other words, no one knows he has his abilities until the age of 17.

Tick took.

In the middle of the graduation ceremony, Eugene was emitting static electricity at his fingertips.

Approximately every 10 seconds could be released, but anywhere on the desired object was possible. But... there was a distance.

It's only a centimeter.

At more than a centimeter, static electricity could not be delivered to the target.

‘Even if I think about it, I can't help but be too stupid... …. ’

Woojin is looking at the principal speaking on the stage. Now he doesn't know how his life is going to go, he just stares blankly.

“This concludes the graduation ceremony. ”

After the graduation ceremony, Woojin was not interested in taking pictures of the graduation ceremony.

Family is just two fathers and two mothers. But even though it was his graduation ceremony, my parents didn't come to the graduation ceremony. I'm busy working.

My father was in an accident when he was 10 years old. Since then, I felt uncomfortable and couldn't find a proper job.

I've only just gotten a job now, but I have less wages than everyone else, and I only have 5 hours a day to work, so my living expenses are low. It is also not enough for hospital expenses.

After the accident, he continued to have rigid leg muscles, and he had to go to the hospital twice a week for physical therapy. That hospital bill won't cover my father's salary. So I had to go to work to his mother.

Rather than being rich from childhood, I can't help but face my parents, and because I know it, I only live in the present life without complaining.

I wanted to help my parents a little, but there was nothing I could do at the moment. That's why he was so eager to have abilities, but his abilities are pathetic.

After the graduation ceremony, he returned home. I covered my duvet and turned on the TV in a sleepy house because there was no one and it was winter.

Oh, fuck!

What the fuck?

As soon as I turned on the TV, I was getting insulted. It was a fairly popular broadcast in a form of a documentary program that captured the everyday lives of talents.

This sucks. Even if I were a tanker, I'd be better than that!

What, what? Then fuck it. You do it! I don't do it because it's dirty!

Don't do it. Son of a bitch. At least we can hire as many tankers as you.

They started fighting during the monster hunt.

Joe, look out! Monsters are not dead yet!

A woman's voice came from the other side, and their gaze became fixed on the monster again.

Shit! I'll see you later.

No one was afraid to hit anyone I wanted to see later. Bring it on. I'll burn you to the ground!!

Only fur will burn in your inferior power. Son of a bitch!

The distraction between the two was not easy to come by. After a while, the two of them became small and began to work on killing monsters.

A person who wears fancy equipment and strikes monsters with various abilities behind him with a 1: 1 melee battle. Finally, the role of healers to strengthen their health.

The spectacular footage made it feel like a movie.

Tales of talented people and monsters.

Nowadays, there are two kinds of issues. After Armageddon, all the talks were great enough to go both ways. Of course, these two factors make the difference between protecting humanity and destroying it.

“Awesome……. ”

It's like a piece of armor from a movie. Ujin only tasted the ability to defeat monsters with his fancy skills and abilities.

Tick took.

Ujin is secretly releasing static electricity to the floor of his room.

And a little cockroach crawling under it.

It's winter and summer, so it's unnecessary for cockroaches to roach around the house.

“Ah... damn it. This poverty. This wretched ring. You fucking cockroaches!! ”

From yourself lying on the floor of your room, to your house, to your humble skills on the day of graduation!

Everything was getting annoying.

Woojin, who thought he had to kill something with static electricity for the first time in his life, began firing static charges at the crawling baby cockroaches immediately.

Tick, tick!

The cockroach was only three to five miles in size. Whenever the static electricity touches the cockroach, it bounces up slightly once. And I went there once, and I repeated the pause.

When the static discharge came out of his hand roughly five times? The cockroach stops in place without moving any further.

“Is he dead? This fucking power takes time to kill a cockroach. Is this your ability? I'd rather press my finger to kill you. ”

In fact, Woojin had never used this ability on another living subject.

Ujin's eyebrows twitch slightly, looking at the stiff cockroaches, thinking pitifully about his abilities.

“Ha? Are you kidding me? ”

In his electrostatic attack, a cockroach smaller than fingernail dust was still alive and twitching its feet.

“Damn it! Yeah. Let's do it today. I'll shoot you with static until you die! ”

That's when the war between right and cockroaches began.

Tick, tick! Tick, tick!

Ujin said it was easier to kill someone with his bare hands. Now they're shooting static electricity, even with Oggi.

“By the way! Nothing's making it harder for people. ”

Artwork Reviews

We decided to keep the comments open.

Because it's not easy for me to spot flaws in my writing.

Rather, readers are very good at finding flaws and gaps.

so I can use my readers' eyes to edit my articles, so I'm just going to open up a few comments.

And the readers who are going to fall out after chapter 50 seem to be leaving, so I'm going to leave it open from that moment on.

For your reference, we plan to draw monthly those who provide good points, comments and advice.

There's no duplication.

A total of 20 people will be drawn in real time throughout the month.

And the winner will always leave a nickname on the author's statement.

Around the 17th, I'm going to give 50 tickets to my readers who gave me 20 good points.

Sorry... It's not 500 per person...

I want to repay you for your humiliation.

I hope you understand that.

I want to hire more people... but I also need to see more of the current situation.
