Somehow, Seo Gayeon had become able to perceive the emotions of others.

Was it because of the power of the starlight magic?

“Gayeon, you've improved a lot lately, haven't you?”

‘She must've taken some kind of potion.’

Or comments like,

‘Did she throw herself at him? Why would Seoha hang out with someone like her?’

Such opinions didn't matter to Gayeon; these people had little relevance to her. However, she often wondered how Seoha perceived her.

Perhaps it was a boon of her newfound ability, but she could also feel Seohyun's emotions.

Or more accurately, the power of the starlight seemed to be drawn to a particular power within Lee Seoha.

His feelings were especially clear to her, oddly so.

'It's different with Yuhwa.'

Kim Ara, Hong Yuhwa, Kim Seohyun.

She couldn't sense emotions from any of them. Yet Seoha’s feelings were crystal clear to her.

Once, when Kim Ara had chosen Lee Seoha as a partner, Seo Gayeon had almost given up on him. After all, Ara's strength couldn't be compared to Gayeon.

But seeing Seoha’s discomfort as Ara approached and tried to catch his eye, Seo Gayeon took a step forward.

“What do you want to do?”

“What would you like me to do?” Seo Gayeon asked Lee Seoha.

Everyone in Korea knows the name Cheon Kyung.

Had Seoha not been there, she might have followed him.

‘I don’t want that.’

She desired to be with Lee Seoha. Even though she was aware that her feelings might burden him, Seo Gayeon genuinely liked him.

“I want to be with Seoha.”

Seo Gayeon hesitated for a moment, and a wave of fear washed over her. What if he disliked her? She admittedly didn't have many redeeming qualities.

"Do you... dislike me?”

-'There’s no reason to.'

Seo-hyun’s response was gentle, “How could I ever dislike you?”

A moment later, she could perceive his true feelings.

-'Even if others don’t know, there’s no way I could ever dislike Seo Gayeon.'

Those words filled with confidence and certainty settled softly in her heart. Seo Gayeon could only gaze at Lee Seoha in a daze.

‘...Why is this happening?’

Seo Gayeon looked at me with a dazed expression, her face flushing deep red.

Ding.

Suddenly, a translucent blue window appeared before my eyes.

[Relationship status added.]

[Dependence. Seo Gayeon is now entirely dependent on you.]

[Perhaps she would even risk her life for you.]

...For some reason, a chilling window had popped up. A relationship status.

I remember seeing a similar status with 'Admiration' from Kim Seohyun just before I passed out.

‘...’

I recalled the remaining S-grade weapons within the academy.

‘About 4 left, I reckon.’

What would suit Seo Gayeon now isn’t here. It’s something once wielded by another transcendent being, the 'Lightbringer.'

There are two reasons I accompany her.

First, to guide her to where the Lightbringer’s staff is.

And another reason.

To check if there's another hidden item, like the Black Heavenly Demon Sword.

[Such items are rare. The Black Heavenly Demon Sword originally reacts to those infused with the energy of Body Against Heaven. Thanks to its former owner's foresight, the owner obtained the Body Against Heaven. Did you not choose me?]

‘I didn’t even know you existed.’

[What?]

For a rare moment, the Heavenly Demon seemed flustered.

[Hmm, maybe the former owner hid it.]

The Heavenly Demon appeared displeased.

After a few exchanges with the Heavenly Demon, we arrived at the weapon selection area.

The vice principal was at the entrance. A petite woman with pronounced dark circles under her eyes, wearing a hastily donned white lab coat.

“It’s been a while.”

“...Indeed. But is this kid the one choosing a weapon today?”

The vice principal looked at me as she spoke.

Seo Yebin nodded in response.

“If he wishes to. But today, it's for her.”

“I see.”

The vice principal nodded and led us inside.

The sight from the entrance ceremony unfolded – weapons of all kinds were displayed.

Thud.

I heard something click in my mind, and the Divine Vision activated.

It linked with my Talent Reading(-).

This way, I get a bit of a lag, but I can truly gauge the capabilities of these artifacts.

Ziiing...

My head was ringing.

I observed the artifacts around.

In my memories, I have the knowledge of all S-grade artifacts and those of lower grades. But there might be artifacts better than their given grade, or ones that excel in specific situations.

‘None here, as I thought.’

The Black Heavenly Demon Sword was truly special.

If even I, who remembered all artifacts up to C-grade, couldn't recall it, it must be truly unique.

“You have a keen eye.”

“...Can you see it too?”

“My name is Cheon Kyung. Even the world acknowledges it.”

Cheon Kyung stood beside me.

“You've just started learning, but that vision of yours will be more useful than you think. Train hard.”

“Thank you.”

I gave a brief reply and approached Seo Gayeon.

“What do you think of that one?”

“Which one?”

Seo Gayeon’s gaze followed my pointing finger.

There lay the hilt of a sword.

Others might have found it peculiar, but Seo Gayeon's reaction was different.

Without any hesitation about my suggestion, she confidently walked over and grasped the handle.

Wooong───!

A wave of magical energy engulfed her.

It may seem trivial at first glance, but it's an artifact wielded by a Radiant on the verge of transcendence.

An item that transforms into a sword based on the user's magical prowess.

It usually serves as a staff and currently seems perfectly suited for Seo Gayeon.

"It's fortunate it has chosen its owner."

"It was an item of the Radiant. That child's mana somehow resonates with it."

"That child?"

"Yes. So, observe her closely."

Upon Seo Yebin's words, the principal observed Seo Gayeon.

"How do I use this?"

"It's the Radiant's blade. You can use it as a sword or a staff. Since you might not be adept at magic yet, start with the sword and then switch to the staff."

"Alright."

Seo Gayeon held the handle as if cradling a treasured possession.

I lay down on the bed in my penthouse.

From my inventory, I pulled out the Essence of Dwoeokshini.

The Essence of Dwoeokshini.

It has the effect of unsealing one artifact below S rank.

Of course, I've already decided where to use it.

The Black Heavenly Demon Sword.

I'm going to use this to break one of her seals.

“Let's do this.”

[Master, I am ready.]

I applied the essence to the Black Heavenly Demon Sword.

Tapping the essence gently onto it, the sword absorbed the radiant energy.

A red line in the midst of the black and white sword hilt glowed for a moment, then settled.

I checked it with my inspection skill.

──────────────────

【Black Heavenly Demon Sword (S)】

A divine sword once wielded by the Tianma.

Forged from black iron and millennium stones, boasting supreme strength and sharpness.

Legends say that the sword possesses a soul.

'I've finally unlocked it.'

Spirit Reading.

I've fully unlocked the seal that the Heavenly Demon once forcibly opened to gain insight into the divine spirit.

"Heavenly Demon?”

I called out to the sword.

Because it was making an odd expression.

[...Master.]

“What is it?”

[Do you remember what I told you before? The body of Tianma was divided into 25 parts, and all of those were taken by her wives.]

“Yeah.”

I remembered that peculiar fact.

Because the Tianma was female and she, being an extreme lesbian, had married 25 women.

[It seems I recall something about that. More precisely, my memories seem to have been sealed at different stages.]

“The previous owner did that?”

Heavenly Demon nodded.

[Have you ever seen anything related to Tianma's future? Like her tomb, perhaps?]

“I've seen where the early martial energy of Black Divine Martial Arts is dormant.”

[We should head there.]

“Why?”

[Tianma wasn't just divided into 25 parts. My memory was obscured.]

Heavenly Demon acted a bit excitedly.

[Tianma willingly divided her power into 25 pieces. She entrusted them to her wives.]

“So, the power of Tianma is with her wives?”

[It seems so. The Body Against Heaven you obtained might be part of it.]

“I see.”

I tried to remain calm.

Because there was no actual place to obtain the Body Against Heaven.

'Tianma's legacy.'

While playing the game, there were some dungeons that remained undiscovered.

I suspect two of them are related to Tianma.

Once the Black Divine Martial Arts was discovered in the community, all the players scrambled to gather information, so it's bound to be accurate.

There wasn’t much to gain from those places, though. Hence, the hype quickly died down.

“So, our next destination is there.”

Not too shabby.

Being abroad was originally a disadvantage, but this time, it might work to my advantage.

Ersil

-Did you hear our club is heading overseas this time?

-I offered my villa when the president mentioned going to England.

-You're coming for sure, right?

I simply typed 'yes'.

Me

-Yes

Ersil

-That's quite a nonchalant response.

-Then, be at the club room by 3 PM this Friday.

-I'll handle all the preparations, just bring yourself.

Me

-Ok

After sending the message, I headed into the training room.

enjoy! :)
