chapter 7
Episode 7-The one without talent (2)
I took off the scarf that was covering my face.
‘It looks very pretty…’
My reflection through the broken glass was so cute that I gasped.
If I had been born in modern times, I would have modeled for children’s clothes, and if I had any talent in other things, I would have worked as a celebrity.
If you consider that this appearance is that of adolescence, you might have made a name for yourself as a celebrity who does not grow.
-Sook
When I poked the ball with my index finger, the ball went in smoothly.
Even though I couldn’t eat or drink properly and lived in a dusty place, my skin was always nice and firm.
The reason why this nonsense happened was most likely because of the [100 Times cuteness!] Ability.
Why can the main character learn difficult skills that no one else can learn?
Because you have the ability to learn it.
Why is Lee Seo-yeon able to use large-scale magic that other wizards do not even get a sense of even if they train for a lifetime?
Because she has the ability to use such magic.
Compared to the ridiculous abilities that seemed to break through human limitations, it was not strange that my skin was always kept soft thanks to my abilities.
‘I wish I had other abilities instead of this cuteness…’
What if it was a situation where you could hone your gun skills and secure the minimum fighting power?
100 Times the cuteness! Wouldn’t it be possible to live a much more prosperous life if it wasn’t the ridiculous ability called 100! Swordsmanship?
Why is Lee Joo-eun designed to have such a talent?
‘If you want to live comfortably, you can live comfortably.’
Because I want to live the life of an awakened person, I cannot see the answer. It is really easy to eat as much as others eat and enjoy a rich life.
You can sell your body.
If I could use this cute face to approach successful women, fawn on them a few times and get paid, I could have lived a much better life than this gutter.
But I didn’t.
Do you think even a country like this can have a positive impact on humanity as a whole if it works hard?
That wasn’t wrong either, but the probability that I, who had no skills and just a little bit of information, would be of great help was low.
The way to do anything using the information from the game is to just record all the information about the future and hand it over to Park Soo-hyun, and it will work dozens of times more efficiently than I could.
‘Because of my pride.’
Selling your body to make a living?
My pride did not allow such a life.
No matter how difficult and strenuous the path is, I will walk the path to success as an Awakener. I did not want to choose such an easy and comfortable but miserable path.
It was an extension of this choice to reveal the situation I was in and not receive support from Yang Ga-hyun and Lee Seo-yeon, who are showing a crush on me.
Although I hated getting sucked into a dangerous storyline as they took an interest in me and my life became closer to them, I thought that receiving support from them was no different from selling my body for a living.
Of course, I was receiving additional education with Lee Seo-yeon’s support, but I still didn’t want to get help from them when it came to making a living.
It’s not like you’ll die from starvation anyway.
-Growl
I tried to suppress the sound coming from the boat and put on the scarf again.
– Plop
My back was supported by the damaged but still soft mattress.
Feeling the chilly wind brushing my body, I let go of my consciousness.

“Lee Joo-eun, is something unpleasant happening? Why are you so sad?”
‘Crying face?’
Since the face is covered, how can one know the face?
In fact, I was feeling pretty depressed, so I couldn’t help but flinch like the corpse of a frog poked by an electrode.
“Now it’s your turn. Get ready.”
“Uh.”
After answering briefly, I looked straight ahead.
-Kwajik!
Park Soo-hyun’s sword cut through the monster’s body.
It was already the 13th.
I broke the 13th stage of the virtual test, which is said to increase the difficulty by 1.5 Times at each stage, with a single blow.
His sword did not know how to stop.
The 14th level monster also changed his fate with one sword attack, and it was not until the 15th monster that he induced him to make two hand gestures, and it wasn’t until the 16th monster that he showed a proper fight.
In the end, the test was over when he cut down a total of 18 monsters and was narrowly defeated against the 19th monster.
Considering that Yang Ga-hyun narrowly cleared level 20, it was very encouraging.
Yang Ga-hyun was the daughter of a famous family, but Park Soo-hyun was a young man with nothing but talent.
“Lee Joo-eun, come out.”
“Okay.”
How many steps can I do?
I wanted to get attention by dealing with ridiculously high-level monsters like Yang Ga-hyun and Park Soo-hyun, but I didn’t have the strong talent they had.
“What weapon will you use?”
“I will use the sword.”
If I was used to gun skills, I would have chosen a gun, but I was still more comfortable with a sword.
It was a weapon that I learned every day for a certain amount of time.
‘Let’s just go up to the third level.’
I don’t even want to go up to level 7, which is the average of cadets.
The 5th stage, called the minimum point, was also meaningless to me.
Step 3.
That was the task I gave myself.
[Sudden Quest]
[Clear stage 4]
[Reward: A small amount of experience]
I ignored the sudden quest.
Objectively, the monsters I could beat were limited to level 3.
It was something I couldn’t do.
It wasn’t that I lacked confidence.
This was a fact.
-Kwajik!
Climbing up to the 3rd level was not something that could be done comfortably.
I was able to rise to the 3rd level by raising all my body strength and enduring like a tenacious, enduring blow.
“Whoa… Whoa…”
“Would you like to challenge the 4th level?”
I used up all my strength just to get to the 3rd level
Of course, the 4th step was impossible.
[Sudden Quest]
“I will.”
Yes, even if you fail anyway, it’s better than not even trying.

“For what you’re interested in, it seems that you’re showing very little progress.”
Lee Seo-yeon approached Yang Ga-hyun, who was sitting on the floor and looking at the exam hall.
“It’s definitely not on the weak side.”
“Do you think he can clear level 4?”
“If everything you’ve shown so far is all there is to it, you’ll never be able to clear it.”
“He’s such an insignificant man.”
At Lee Seo-yeon’s cynical words, Yang Ga-hyun shook her head.
“It’s no big deal when it comes to the power you have.”
While Yang Ga-hyeon and Lee Seo-yeon were talking, the sword Ju-eun Lee was holding bounced off.
I could see that his grip on the handle had been completely torn off.
“He has strong convictions. I don’t know what drove him this far, but having strong convictions can sometimes do more than having great talent.”
Lee Joo-eun was watching Sue even as the monster bit her shoulder.
He was completely covered by his scarf and could only see his eyes, but even in that brief moment he was scanning the monsters to see if there was any possibility.
-f*ck!!
In the end, I was able to get out of the monster’s teeth momentarily by striking his head countless times, but that was all.
After that, he was blown away and rolled on the floor due to the monster’s blow, and no matter how hard he tried to stop the monster from attacking him once again, his body was torn apart by the monster’s hand.
It was a miserably one-sided battle, and it was a game with no chance of victory, but nevertheless, Yang Ga-hyun’s eyes looking at Lee Ju-eun were very positive.
“Come to think of it, Yang Ga-hyun, have you ever seen Lee Joo-eun’s bare face?”
“No, I haven’t seen it.”
If the scarf tried to slip off even a little bit, he immediately put it back on again, so I couldn’t see his face even once.
Since she doesn’t care much about people’s faces anyway, she didn’t care too much about it, but she was sometimes curious about Joo-eun’s face.
“I can assure you that Lee Joo-eun has a very cute face.”
“How do you know that when you go around barefoot?”
“Eyes are just eyes, aren’t they? If you have a chance later, take a closer look at Lee Joo-eun’s eyes.”
‘So cute?’
Certainly, if it’s cute, I think it’ll look good on you…
Yang Ga-hyeon’s face turned slightly red as she imagined Joo-eun’s cute face inside the scarf.
