Chapter 4: Akashic Record (1)

Akashic Record (1)

"Well, there was a cadet who said he was awakening."

Park Hyun-suk said as he shook his head.

It wasn't just the cadets who had free time when the routine ended early.

It was a long time since those who were in charge of the academy's education gathered, eating and talking together.

How is everyone doing? Life is fine. A new type of crack has been created.

The stories flowed to topics on the guild, of what the cadets were like their first day.

Park Hyun-suk's words stopped them short.

"Reawakening?"

"Yes. There was a cadet who didn't bring personal equipment during the first training session. He said that he awakened this morning and that the personal equipment was destroyed. "

"... That sounds like an excuse. "

"Right. But I don't think Hwayeon Academy's cadets would make such an excuse. To be honest, if you didn't bring your personal equipment, you'd rather lose it than lie about the status."

"That's right. I'm not an active hunter, and it's only a matter of time before a cadet lies about the status.

It was common for active hunters to hide the status figures, never reveal the status at all, or give a false status.

"What is the name of the cadet?"

The question came from Lim Seong-Hyun, the professor in charge of the second grade, who was listening silently to the conversations.

'It seems like a cadet who doesn't even know who is around.'

Reawakening was a rare case, but Lim Sung-Hyun actually knew some of the hunters who had reawakened.

Each one has different points, but in common, everyone is a second or first class hunter and is a very high-level awakener.

And when he developed his talents to the limit and reached a level where he could not go further, there was a sense of breaking the wall and gaining enlightenment.

"Oh, the name. The name..."

Park Hyun-suk's lips were twitching.

Everyone was interested to know.

Reawakening was a topic that every awakened person was interested in, and it was fascinating to hear an academy's cadet mentioned in that topic.

"Jung Si Woo. It was Jung Si woo. "

Some of the professors and instructors burst into laughter.

"... It must have been a real cadet who reawakened. "

All of them were professors or instructors who had been in first-grade classes.

"Yes? Didn't you say that it couldn't be an excuse? "

"That was before I heard the name."

Obviously, there was some doubt, but his face was nowhere to be found.

The professors and instructors who had never been in charge of first grade were confused.

"If you were a cadet, you would believe that you could chew a monster alive."

There was only one person who was convinced.

It was the only professor who recognized talent.

Sunghyun Lim.

He was memorizing Jeong Si-woo's name in his head again.

"... Well, there is a 'real evaluation' on Friday, so you can check it out then. "

* * *

"Hmm..."

A window appeared transparently in front of me. I looked at it carefully while turning the pen in my hand.

[Jung Si Woo]

[class][→ None.]

[characteristic][→ Superior Insight (F): Sharp observation makes sense of seeing through the subject sensitive. You can look at a wider range than others.]

[→ (NEW!) Akasik Record (?): You can freely browse the super-dimensional information collection that contains all the records of the universe and humanity. You can search for the information you want or communicate with other dimensions. The spirit of the soul is low, and the full power of the Akashic record is not yet available.]

[skill][→ None.]

Nothing had really changed from what I saw first.

However, unlike last time, I was dug through the details.

'... There are still no classes or skills. '

Well, that's fine.

I survived last time without these two.

It was much better to thoroughly analyze what I had.

'... Insight is reset to level F. '

In the past, it was a characteristic that reached the S level.

It was a characteristic that allowed an 'analysis' to extract all kinds of information merely through a quick glance.

Well, I didn't expect to bring this as it is.

Honestly, it was a great blessing to just return.

Anyway, it was a trait that grows as I used it, so unless I've lost my experience, the insight rank will quickly rise.

The important thing now is,

"This is an Akashic record."

[Arc Record (?)]

The first question mark rating I've ever seen.

I don't know if it was high enough to be marked as status, or if it was an unknown trait that wasn't rated yet.

First of all, given the 'regression', it will not be an ordinary characteristic.

"A super-dimensional information collection, which I could search for desired information or communicate with other dimensions..."

Perhaps the lack of a soul and the inability to properly use the power it contained might mean a growth trait.

... However, I couldn't find the detailed information contained in it.

Then too.

"Akasik Records."

[Enable 'Arc Record'.]

[User, Jung-woo Jung will be connected.]

Try using it.

T-ring!

Several windows came up.

[The condition has been met.]

[→ First access reward, skill 'Link' is created.]

[→ The first access reward, 'skill evolution zone (one-time use)', is created.]

"... Well?"

I was staring, my eyes wide open.

"To create skills by using characteristics... Skill evolution zone? "

I had no choice but to.

"What is this?"

I wasn't able to understand this even though I searched through memories accumulated for decades.

* * *

There were two ways to get a skill.

When a superhuman trains his skill to the limit, the system recognizes it as a registerer 'skill'. It then allows access to the 'skill-book' that fits those talents and characteristics.

Last time, my analysis was not recognized as a skill. Unfortunately, the skill-book that suited me could not be found in any superhuman store.

"... By the way, only using traits gives skills? "

The system was really helping.

Had someone else received such a benefit, I would have screamed that it was unfair.

"It's the best."

Of course, if it was a target, it was great.

I'm glad I waited for a moment. The descriptions of the newly emerging skills popped up.

[Link]

[Arc Record Record Unique Skills]

[This skill is activated only when you have the 'Akasik Record' attribute.]

[This skill cannot be acquired and used without the 'Akasik Record'.]

[Rating: F]

[This skill grows with the spirit of the soul.]

[→ Links to opponents who have communicated through Akashik Records, or those who have built a certain level of ties.]

[→ When linking, all abilities of the target you linked while connected are shared with you.]

[Penalty exists because the spirit level is not enough, and the skill level is low.]

[* Current maximum link time is 5 minutes. The higher the level of the linked target, the shorter the time.]

[* If the difference in level is too large, the user's body may be damaged, or the soul may be impaired for a certain period.]

[* With a very low probability, some of the abilities of the linked target belong to the user 'permanently'.]

"Ha... Hahaha..."

And after reading all the explanations, I couldn't help bursting into laughter.

"It's a ridiculous fraud skill, but this."

It could be linked to the Akashic record I use, and it was a compelling skill.

In short, does it mean that I can use my own power by borrowing the power of 'others'?

Moreover, some of the abilities could be permanently attributed even though this had a low probability.

It was an F-class, but the skills I knew could be counted with one hand.

"Especially for me, this is more than enough."

How many heroes of the future do I know?

Even if one of the skills they possess is attributed to me, my status window will change instantly.

The most important thing must be the spirit of this soul.

As for the Akashic record, this skill, and the spirit of the soul had to grow so I could use it properly.

I don't know how to do that yet, but I thought it would be a good idea to get started.

Then let's see this much ... next.

[Skill Evolution (Disposable)]

[Evolve the selected skill as the highest one recorded in the Akashic record.]

[* Does not apply to skills that already belong to the top level.]

"..."

And when I saw the next one, I was speechless.

If this skill was released on the market, it would be traded millions or even billions.

'... Perhaps, God seems to be helping me in this life. '

Was it a reward for having suffered to the end to meet a vain death?

'There is no place to use this, so let's leave it ... '

Then there is one thing left.

It was time to take a good look at the character of this Akashic record, which brought me so many gifts.

"View detailed information."

T-ring!

[Arc Record]

[Currently, the spirit of the soul is low, so full power cannot be utilized.]

[Available functions]

[* Access information: Based on records in Akashic Records, the target information can be viewed.]

[* Communication and Sharing: Communicate by connecting spirits and other beings. You can share a lot with the person you communicate with.]

"... Hmm, there are only two functions. "

There were obviously a lot more to the two functions in one trait. Still, after looking at all that information, I felt a bit disappointed.

First, let's use the first function.

"Read information."

T-ring!

[Based on the information recorded in the archaic record, the target information is read ... ... .]

.

.

.

[Name: Hwayeon Superman Academy Student Notebook]

[A laptop specially made for dissemination to students by Hwayeon Choin Academy. There are many resources on the community and monsters and cracks available only to the academy's cadets ... ... .]

"... It's precise."

I felt stupid for being disappointed.

There was so much information on a student notebook.

If so, how much information can you get if you apply this to a monster or awakened ...

'You don't even know how great it will once you grow.'

I decided to put away the information on the student's laptop, which was still lined up in front of my eyes and turned to my second ability.

"Communication and sharing."

The room spread out in front of me and began to twist.

[This is the first 'communication and sharing' used after accessing an Archaic record.]

[As the first use reward, we will try to communicate with the highest level of 'other dimension'.]

Neatly arranged clothes and other miscellaneous things appeared, and everything that appeared fell to the floor the next moment.

"... What, wait a minute! "

Kuung! Clink-!

The dishes broke out, and with a loud noise, the windows shattered due to the shock.

The TV screen cracked, and the cushions and pillows exploded spewed cotton all over the room.

Indeed, it quickly became Asurajang.

Thump.

Meanwhile, someone knocked on the door.

"What happened, Jung Siwoo? It's very noisy ..."

"Oh, sorry, ah. I'm cleaning the room ... "

"... It's so early. Don't be noisy. "

"Sorry."

I managed to gasp out a response.

Nevertheless, I couldn't take my eyes off the sight that unfolded before me.

[Successful in 'communicating' with other great beings.]

[Considering your strength, a great being manifested himself in spirit.]

[... Hmm.]

The white beard grew to the floor, and the wrinkles carved into his face showed the years he had lived.

The white fabric fluttering was like fresh clothes, and the shining pupils contrasted with the old man's appearance.

[Even if I wanted to see it like that, It didn't light my face once... You're only calling me now, user of 'Akasik Record'.]

"... Yes?"

[Well? But you're so young? no... It's more of a young thing than a young one ...]

His eyes seemed to harden as he looked.

Only

As I continued to face him, the old man's expression changed. He spat something unexpected.

[... The user of the previous generation must be dead.]

And with that, a clear reminder popped up in front of me.

[traveler]

[Additional information is not available.]

A letter that describes the old man, written so plainly.

[Because they succeed in communicating with the mythical class, rewards are given.]

Finally, a notification window that gave something.
