History's Strongest Manager

It was not that frequent, and it was okay to see how widespread it was. It was quite a peaceful day for training, marching out and hunting monsters.

Aran flinches without falling asleep. Just like everyone else, it's been a while since her family died. It's not that I don't remember my face like Gangjun, but it's faded now.

She doesn't cry because she doesn't want to see her parents anymore.

Believed commitment no longer excites emotions from the heart. At night, she felt the terrible pain that was coming to her reality, and after that, something has fundamentally changed.

I physically experienced the truth that life involves pain.

Therefore, it was very rare to be sentimental in any kind. I didn't mean to, but there were very few expressions, and no matter what happened, it was grave.

The most important thing for Night, the .

That's what she learned, and that's what she was doing. When emotions are clouded and weakened, it becomes difficult to control the rigidity. So it was important to have a heart that did not waver.

But I've been shaking my heart lately.

Meeting Choi Jun, having a colleague, and becoming more and more cooperative, she was becoming different from when she was in the Temple. Sometimes you think it's fun to smile and talk to people.

Her combat abilities have risen, gaining practical experience, and her rigid control has increased even more. In fact, West Aran was able to fight Rank A Knight for a short time, but with a whistle.

But today, after seeing Choi Na's family, Aran became confused. I remembered what I had forgotten and was shocked that I had forgotten.

Family,

The ringing that was not natural for someone, but not natural for someone, came to me strangely.

‘I can't sleep.... ’

Aran couldn't sleep at all. At least for a little while, Aran came out of the house and went up to the roof.

And there, Gangjun was sitting at the table drinking beer.

“Ah…. ”

Kang Jun shrugged his shoulders as Aran's eyes met.

“I guess I can't sleep. Aran.”

“…… a little bit. ”

Gangjun was drinking a can of beer without a drink on the moonlight rooftop. Like everyone, sometimes I can't sleep.

Although, it's just a clever thing that both of you encountered something lacking in yourself today. I just couldn't sleep. I met them on the roof in the middle of the night. Next to Kangjun, there were two more cans of local beer, and he waved them towards Aran.

“Can I get you a can? ”

“…… I'm a minor. ”

“Oh, I see. I'm sorry."

Gangjun scratched his head with a nice smile.

“Aran is so mature that sometimes I forget her. ”

Aran sat in front of Gangjun without answering.

- Cheers!

Aran quickly emptied a can of beer and put it down. Kang Jun, who was watching it, opened his eyes wide as if surprised.

“I didn't say I didn't drink. ”

When I said that, Kang Jun laughed as if it was ridiculous. Actually, she was drinking for the first time. The taste of my first drink was strange.

Stinky taste, strange aroma. That was it.

When Aran frowned, Kangjun laughed and laughed at what was so funny.

Gangjun did not accuse West Aran of underage drinking. Night doesn't get drunk anyway. Mary, who had a taste for drinking at night, was rather peculiar.

“Why are you drinking this? ”

“I don't know. ”

However, Kang Jun drank one more sip. Seo Aran stared at Kang Jun because she thought he was crazy, but Kang Jun was perfectly normal.

“It's just, you know, maybe they're eating because they're there. ”

Aran gave up asking questions and drank a sip.

Then I put the can of beer aside. They sat together for a while, not saying anything. Neither Gangjun nor Aran said anything about why they didn't fall asleep this late. I didn't say a word about why I couldn't sleep.

Gangjun kept drinking beer, and Aran stared at the night sky dazed.

Aran doesn't even know why she can't sleep. It was a strange feeling that seemed depressing but could not say exactly depressing.

But Aran felt comforted by the unexplainable sadness.

Just being together can solve things.

Aran looks at Gangjun.

Kangjun felt that gaze and stared at Aran. Kang Jun looked at each other for a moment and laughed at each other to see if they were cool.

“What's on my face? ”

“Yes.”

“I only drank beer. What's on it? ”

Aran turns her head away from Kangjun, looking back at the sky and muttering small.

“I won't tell you. ”

Gangjun wiped his mouth, but of course there was no reason to bury something. Kang Jun stared at Aran puzzled, but she was just looking up at the sky with a slight smile.

The next day,

Early in the morning, Gina's parents decided to go down to the main street. Fortunately, no lies were found, and luckily, Gina's parents did not tell Katabutan that she was the manager.

“You'll take care of yourself. You've done well so far. ”

He said that and tapped Gina on the shoulder, and she still looked unhappy, but he didn't tell her to stop. Gangjun dropped him off at the entrance of the studio and decided to show his parents both inside and out to the train station passing by.

With this, the crisis was overcome, not the crisis. The support that accompanied him went back to the lodge, and Aran was staring closely at the two leaving parents.

“Manager.”

“Yes.”

“Can I ask you about the Awakening process? ”

“…… I'm not an Awakener, but of course you ask me. ”

“You know.”

At that, Kang Jun smiled rotten. He was treating himself like a doraemon. When I asked him, he was such a versatile manager who knew everything and rescued anything I needed.

But regrettably, I knew that Kang Jun was dizzy.

“Yes, I know. ”

Aran crouches down the steps at the entrance to the studio and tilts her head.

“I know the drill. As I understand it, the Awakeners experienced something shocking when they first discovered their abilities. ”

“Usually. ”

Knights and mutants develop abilities only when their physical qualities are right. However, Awakenings use the most bizarre force known as "superpowers." It has not been properly interpreted and the principle has not been scientifically proven. But superpowers have existed in this world for about 20 years.

Not everyone who's traumatized is Awakened.

But most Awakeners have their own traumas.

Not all of them, but the first time an Awakener uses abilities is when psychological stress is extremely elevated. Once you do so, you will be tested for ability checks and stability at the Awakening Center.

Of course, a technology has now been developed that can measure the aptitude of an Awakened without such trauma. However, the technology has been developed in recent years, and it has often not been confirmed properly unless you are a very talented person.

In the beginning, there were many healthy people who were awakened at the scene of a monster phenomenon.

“Do you know what happened to Gina? ”

“Why do you ask? ”

In Kangjun's reverse question, Aran said in a bold tone.

“I haven't seen a lot of Awakenings in my life, but most of the people I've seen have had strange personalities. I was either an instructor or a guest lecturer at Temple, but I was angry about something weird. Smile like crazy. Some were ordinary, but some were stranger than mutants. But when I found out, I heard that Awakened people have such strange personalities because of the trauma. ”

There were quite a lot of words for Aran.

“But Gina is normal. Nice, sweet, caring... Hmm. ”

Narrow down your glance to see if Aran can't find a word to express. Gangjun cleaned up for me.

“Gina has nowhere to go. ”

“Yes, that's right. ”

Literally, Choi was perfectly normal and kind, with the exception of a little bit of pussy and fear.

Of course, an ordinary man wouldn't summon a magical girl to his avatar and recite a dazzling line of justice magic wands. It was a complete darkness inside.

“It's no secret. From what I hear, I've been dreaming and realizing my avatar abilities. ”

Choi Na was stressed out during her internship. So I had a dream of flying in the sky, and it turned out that it was not a dream, it was summoning an avatar and floating through the night sky.

It was true that it was a traumatic event worth Awakening abilities. Awakenings fly around the world, and they awaken in a situation where a family member or friend dies. Half of Seoul had to be awakened if they developed their abilities due to workplace stress. Of course, the premise is that you have talent.

However, it is known that there are potential Awakeners everywhere who are talented in their superpowers but do not experience traumatic events and do not even know they are talented.

“How long have you been awakening? ”

“Hmm…. It's been about a year. ”

When Kang Jun finished calculating the basics, he said so. I finally remembered something about Kangjun. The power used by the Magic Girl Acacia was approximately S-SS-rank. Also, the ranks are different, but given the strength of the SSRank, it was Alexei who Kang Jun fought a while ago.

“If you are naturally gifted, can you use such strength in such a short period of time? ”

At Aran's question, Kangjun's expression became more and more serious.

“I can't say it's impossible.... It's not ordinary.”

Gangjun knows too much about rebellion. I've seen a ten-year-old kid use the S rank immediately, and I've seen a dying old man suddenly awaken to an epiphany classified as a basic SS rank.

Kang Jun knew too much about rebellion against common sense.

Pryr was also the owner of overwhelming talents that naturally acquired pyrokinesis without mental stress.

Rather, without trauma, he handed over that it was possible even in the best case because he knew the Awakened who had exercised overwhelming superpowers without experience.

But in general, the last case was absurd.

After three months of Awakening, we couldn't have handled such sophisticated epilepsy.

“Why did you suddenly think that? ”

In Kangjun's question, Aran stared at the alley where Gina's family had disappeared.

“Gina's mom is a little... He seemed strangely scared. I was wondering if there was some kind of trauma. ”

Obviously, Gina's mother was a bit grumpy, but there were oddly distinctive corners. And even though Gina was also an adult, she was severely moist.

“There are two possibilities. ”

Aran looks at Gangjun.

“Gina has a tremendous talent, and she's been able to climb to that level in a year. ”

“Yes.”

“Gina actually woke up a long time ago. ”

In fact, the Awakening is a long time ago, and you may have forgotten that you are Awakened for some reason. If so, it would explain the adaptation and use of avatar abilities very easily.

Ultimately, Awakening's psychic abilities are similar to clothes, so the longer you wear them, the more familiar and comfortable you become.

But in fact, whatever it was, it didn't matter. I was on a mission without any problems, and I didn't do anyone any harm.

A text message was sent to Kang Jun's mobile phone.

[They're picking up a D-rank core wavelength at Xinrim Station now. Leeshen will take care of it, but you should know that if two more things go off here, Gangjun.]

Gangjun replied to the message.

Somehow, I felt anxious.
