[It is not an exaggeration to say that the Link is all about the battles that Akashic record users can choose.]

The traveler spoke in the middle of the quiet training ground.

[Akasik records are extremely powerful, but their essence is about ‘information’. A good scholar can know everything about dragons, but they can’t catch and kill dragons alone]

“Yes, it’s impossible.”

It was a simple analogy, but it was a little stab.

I could learn everything, but I can do nothing alone.

It was as he was referring to my past life.

[Okay. Being able to get all the information can be a powerful weapon, but merely knowing information, is not enough to make a ‘weapon’.]

It could not be denied.

I knew better than anyone else.

[But if you have a link, the Akashic record turns into a powerful weapon that can be useful on all levels.]

“…”

[You said that the superhumans in this world could be very powerful.]

The traveler stared at me.

[They have the power to wipe out a city and confront monster corps?]

“…”

[No one in the other dimensions, or even in the ‘history’ of this dimension, no one could do such a thing.]

Gulp.

[And being a user of Akashic Records means you can borrow the power of those things at will.]

Thump-thump.

My heart began to race.

[Easy to say … okay.]

The cool dawn wind helped me clear my mind.

[It has the power to bring a shark swimming in the sea into a well filled with frogs. That is the only way I can explain it.]

My face shone as I stared at his glassy eyes.

[The fastest way is to stop the explanations and try it out.]

There was a bright smile on my face.

“Right. It’s better to give it a try than to listen to it a hundred times.”

As soon as he stopped talking, I nodded and slowly stepped forward.

“link.”

I hoped for so much. I didn’t get what I wanted until the last minute.

My first ‘skill’ was only obtained after death in the second life.

And.

[‘Link’ is activated.]

A strange phenomenon began to unfold.

[The only person who communicated through the Archaic record is ‘Traveler’.]

[Failed to Link with ‘Traveler’ due to low skill rating.]

[Search for beings that match the skill level among ‘beings with a certain level of ties’.]

[In the memory of the user ‘Jung Si Woo’, I found an existence that met the conditions.

Numerous notification windows popped up.

[Link succeeded.]

[Penalty applies due to low skill rating.]

[Penalty is applied because the soul is weak.]

[Shares all abilities of the target for 5 minutes.]

Something came into my body from beyond those transparent windows …

“Monsters. I need to catch and kill them.”

[Third-class hunter]

[Rating: F]

Dump.

I felt something strange filling up my body, and I automatically sat down.

[How are you feeling? It’s the first time I’ve seen it myself.]

The traveler looked at me, smiling. He seemed to be having fun.

“… I do not know.”

I smiled too, raising my head to meet his eyes.

I don’t know if this was good, but I couldn’t help smiling right now.

I feel like I’m flying. I like it.

I was born again, and for the first time, I was enjoying feeling’ powerful.’

[It is a target with high user ties.]

[Light rumors that wandered the back streets begin to enter the soul.]

“Cadet Jung Si-woo!”

“… Yes, yes?”

I felt someone knocking on my shoulder. The sights that had spread out before my eyes disappeared.

Then, when I blinked, a man was looking down at me blankly.

“Aren’t you tired?”

He was a professor in charge of second-year phenomenon analysis.

“Ah.”

I was sent back immediately.

* * *

It was evening when the class ended.

Luckily, I didn’t fall asleep in class, and the drowsiness disappeared at the end of the last class.

“Oh.”

Unfortunately, needle stabbing feeling did not disappear.

The pain made me cringe every time I took a step.

This was because the level of my body was too low compared to the power borrowed from the Link.

According to the traveler, the vessel was weak.

It was kind of like muscle pain.

“It really hurts.”

[That’s because you didn’t train regularly. Who knew that you would be on a level that could not overcome that much power.]

Unfortunately, it was true.

At the academy, I barely did any light exercise, and definitely not proper training.

[As I said, it is because the vessel is too weak. If you can absorb the overflowing power, it will not be so tricky.]

“… So, what should I do? Exercise every morning? 100 push-ups, 100 squats, 10 kilometers of running…”

[Of course, if you have the power to borrow power, you should do it.]

After all.

It didn’t matter much.

Anyway, I came back to the past, and this time I thought that I should stay fit …

[But if you are a user of Akashic Records, it’s a little different.]

“… Yes?”

The traveler suddenly said that.

[Akasik records grow with the spirit of the soul. Users are the same. The higher the spirit level, the better the body grows.]

“The body is the same?”

[Okay. So you don’t have to exercise or play like everyone else. It would be more helpful to communicate with one soul at a time.]

Just by growing one, the other builds.

It was at that moment I realized the greatness of the ability of the new Sam Akashic Record.

[Besides, I’m tired of seeing the physical training. I watched martial arts for 10 years in Moorim.]

“… You are in a great place.”

[It was very, very big.]

The traveler laughed at me.

“So, is it enough to use the link on the training ground today?”

[Once you do, and you’re done with all the links you’ve already had, you’ll have to take another training method from then on. For example…]

He kept talking as he headed towards the training ground.

It was all about my growth, so I went with him without complaints.

[Now, let’s start.]

And my second training started right away.

* * *

“How would you like to organize your first performance evaluation group?”

Sung-Hyun Lim, who was filing documents, asked.

“I do not know. I haven’t figured it out yet.”

The instructor, Hyun-Seok Park, answered.

“Either way, it’s not easy to figure it out with just one training session. In the old days, there were times when hunters had to be able to cope with any situation.”

“Those days it was easier, but how do you do it these days? Even the active hunters won’t go into a crack unless they’ve teamed up perfectly.”

Sung-Hyun Lim nodded.

“It is said that a well-designed 3rd-tier hunter’s team is better than a poor 2nd-tier hunter’s team.”

In the past, you might have decided by lot or ladder, but these days it was different.

In the past, the strength of individual hunters was vital. Teamwork and synergy were in the spotlight now.

So, grasping the abilities of each cadet and building a group has been a big headache for recent academy instructors.

“I did some digging. The problem is, there’s one person I don’t understand at all.”

In that regard, Park Hyun-suk was an excellent instructor.

Not everyone could complete the test by running the test once and skimming the list.

While Seong-Hyun Lim admitted his skill, he was suddenly curious about what Park Hyun-suk said.

“One?”

“Yeah.”

Park Hyun-suk handed the list of cadets he was holding to Seong-Hyun Lim.

“This cadet named Jung Si-woo is not sure what to do.”

Park Hyun-suk’s seemed embarrassed.

“Obviously, the destruction of the weapon by reawakening meant that the fortification system’s traits had evolved. Jung Si-woo had the information system trait of excellent insight.”

“…”

“In other cases, all of the awakened are said to have a little more traits or new similar abilities. Honestly, if the intelligence system is strengthened, can it be strong enough to crush weapons?”

Park Hyun-Seok scratched his head.

“I think he really lied… If so, the cadet was hiding his power. This doesn’t make any sense.”

“If you look at it like that, it is.”

“But the other people said that the cadet Jung Si-woo could not have lied… Ah, it’s complicated, really.”

Sung-Hyun Lim understood Park’s difficulties.

If he made a mistake when assigning positions and the reawakening was true, it could be dangerous for all the cadets in the group and Jung Si-woo.

However, it wasn’t safe to leave the assistant position.

If the ability to reawaken was very powerful, it could have caused a dangerous situation by colliding with other dealers in the group.

“I think you can assign him to an important position.”

“Yes?”

Sung-Hyun Lim muttered calmly, looking at Park Hyun-suk, who was struggling with the weight of his concerns.

“If the cadet understands his responsibility, he would admit that he was lying rather than risking everyone else.”

“… That’s right.”

“And either way, it wasn’t likely that he’s able to lie.

… Professor Sung-Hyun Lim is like that.

At that end, Lim Seong-Hyun chuckled.

Park Hyun-suk sighed once and burst into laughter.

“What… Others might not know. The professor’s eyes have never been wrong, so let me believe. Honestly, if I were to make my stand, the students would not get hurt.”

Park Hyun-suk accepted the list he had given to Sung-Hyun Lim and wrote something down.

“Jung Si-woo will be assigned to an important position.”

“Hmm… Hmm …”

[Is it so hard?]

The traveler asked when we arrived in the room after training.

“I didn’t get up from bed for two hours.”

“It’s better than yesterday… I think I’m going to die, though. “

[Tomorrow will be better than today, and the day after will be better than tomorrow. Wouldn’t it be okay if you think so?]

“That’s right.”

I replied, wiping off the sweat that flowed.

However, my gaze was naturally fixed to the transparent window floating on the side of the traveler.

[The soul has risen slightly.]

[The remnant of the soul remains, and its power belongs to some bodies.]

[Increased stats-Health increases slightly.]

[Increased stats-Agility increases slightly.]

[Increased ability-Increased intelligence partially.]

No matter how hard it was, I could see that I was growing.

I couldn’t seem to laugh even though my whole body felt strange.

[But why did you bring that?]

“Yes?”

I was enjoying the soft bed, when the traveler asked this, pointing at the corner of the room.

I wasn’t sure whether to call it a weapon or an iron stick.

[It’s a training sword that doesn’t stand well. Bring something like that and do something…]

“Ah. Still, Friday is the actual evaluation, but before that, I need to get at least one weapon.”

[Actual evaluation?]

“You can think of it as a critical exam.”

Only

[For such a test, you’re going to take such a terrible weapon?]

I nodded his absurd question.

If I used my knowledge before the test, I would be able to get powerful weapons in a short time.

However, it was impossible to prepare such weapons before Friday, and there was not enough time to use the knowledge to make money.

Well, if I had the right mindset, I might be able to do it.

At least I knew a better way than that.

“I have a lot of magazines.”

Probably, in the actual evaluation, every cadet would have a weapon superior to that weak weapon.
