LIGHTNOVELSTORY chapter 38
Episode 38 The Fuse of War A (1)
The afternoon’s physical training was eventful, but it yielded many results.
[With the right effort, your strength will bear the fruit of growth! Strength stat increases by +1!]
[With proper advancement, agility will bear the fruit of growth! Agility stat increases by +1!]
[With the right effort, endurance will bear the fruit of growth! Durability increases by +1!]
.
.
.
First of all, my physical abilities have increased by 3 points.
I owe a lot to instructors Jin Se-rin and Kim Joo-hee.
Without Jin Serin’s stretching massage, even if she worked hard all afternoon, she would have only been able to increase her ability point by 1, and without instructor Kim Joo-hee’s assistance, she would not have been able to increase her ability point by 3.
Moreover, this was not the only achievement.
[By robbing the host of its efforts, the senses bear the fruit of growth! Sensory abilities increase by +1!]
[Skill 《Parasite Growth》 special effect activated! Select the characteristics to steal or pass on to the host.]
.
.
Thanks to the efforts of Park Shin-hoo, who is training somewhere with his teeth clenched, he was able to increase his sensory ability by one.
Thanks to this, one more characteristic exchange ticket was accumulated.
‘Now, it would be nice to gradually bring in Park Shin-hoo’s growth buff characteristics.’
◈Characteristics of host 《Park Shin-hoo》
[Sword Talent Lv. Advanced], [Martial Arts Talent Lv. Advanced], [Innate Boneless Lv. Rare]]]… ….
Until a few days ago, physical training was blocked, so there was no point in bringing in the growth buff trait, but not anymore.
‘If the host has growth buff characteristics, it can suck up a lot of experience points. However, the experience that can be stolen through parasitic growth is only ‘20%’ of the total experience.’
If the experience increase effect obtained from the growth buff characteristic is ‘25%’, the benefit can only be enjoyed by ‘5%’ through parasitic growth.
‘So, it is much more efficient to use the growth buff characteristics myself than to use them on the host.’
However, I couldn’t bring it right away.
This is because Park Shin-hoo’s growth buff characteristics require an average physical ability score of 6 or higher.
‘If the average physical ability score exceeds 6, you must first acquire the 《Innate Bonelessness》 trait.’
───────《Characteristics》───────
Born boneless
◆Grade
[Rare]
◆Description
– This person was born with the body of a warrior. They are naturally strong, agile and sturdy.
– The performance of strength, agility, durability, stamina, and senses stats increases by 10%.
– The training efficiency of strength, agility, durability, stamina, and sense stats increases by 25%.
※This characteristic cannot be exchanged yet.
– [Reason: Lack of required abilities]
──────────────────
A trait that increases physical performance by ‘10%’ and growth efficiency by a whopping ‘25%’.
It’s a feature worth having just for the effect alone, but that wasn’t the only reason.
‘Innate bonelessness’ is one of the requirements for ‘Heavenly Mujiche’.
‘Acquiring innate bonelessness is essential for improving performance, not only accelerating physical growth, but also satisfying the requirements of the Heavenly Martial Body.’
Bringing in ‘natural bonelessness’ was the same as taking a big step closer to Kang Seo-jun’s great goal of ‘Heavenly Demon God’.
[The physical ability increases and the debuff of the attribute 《Hunchback Lv. Lowest》 is alleviated.]
[The physical ability increases and the debuff of the characteristic 《Club Lv. Lowest》 is alleviated.]
[The physical ability increases and the debuff of the attribute 《Twisted Arm Lv. Lowest》 is alleviated.]
.
.
.
The physical debuff characteristics have also been alleviated to the point where it can be clearly felt.
It may not seem like anything has changed at all to others, but Kang Seo-jun could feel a definite change.
My completely bent back straightened slightly, raising my visibility slightly, and my stiffly twisted arms and legs felt like they were moving much more smoothly.
-Waddle! Waddle!
However, it is still difficult to move normally.
‘To completely recover your twisted body, you must increase all physical abilities such as strength, agility, durability, stamina, and senses to 11 or higher.’
Still, the treatment had already begun, so the body would reach normal range in the near future.
So, Kang Seo-jun’s current abilities were as follows.

‘Now, all abilities can be improved through training.’
The time when I couldn’t exercise or practice mana is now over.
The physical ability is ‘Business World Reconstruction Serum’, and the mana ability is ‘Mana Slime’.
Kang Seo-jun’s run toward the ultimate king had finally begun to gain speed.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Late afternoon.
In front of the main gate of the fitness center.
“Thank you for the guidance today. Instructor Kim Joo-hee.”
Kang Seo-jun bowed his head and greeted Kim Joo-hee.
My back was already bent, so there was no need to bend over.
“Um… Okay…”
Kim Joo-hee nodded her head, but pursed her lips with a somewhat regretful expression.
At that time, Jin Se-rin quickly wrapped her arms around Kang Seo-jun and pulled him.
“Then let’s go first!”
I wanted to quickly get Seojun away from this instructor.
“Uh, uh…”
Kang Seo-jun’s body tilted and was pulled towards the dormitory.
“Now, wait!”
At that time, Kim Joo-hee urgently wrapped her arms around Kang Seo-jun’s other arm and grabbed him.
“What, what!?”
The veins on Jin Se-rin’s temples stood out.
“Seo, Seojun is tired right now!?”
“?”
Kang Seo-jun, who was actually captured, was silent, but Jin Se-rin was particularly upset.
“Even if you’re tired, you have to eat dinner, right? It’s just dinner time, so why not eat together?”
“Hang!!”
She snorted with an absurd expression, as if she was wondering what Jin Serin knew.
“I’m sorry, but Seojun can’t eat anything, right? Eat dinner alone!”
“Really?”
“Uh oh….”
-Stumble! Stumble!
Gin Se-rin is attractive. Kim Joo-hee doesn’t let go.
Because of the two women, Kang Seo-jun’s steps shook as if there had been an earthquake.
“Now, wait a minute…”
It was right after squatting, so my legs were completely weak.
In the end, Kang Seo-jun’s legs lost their strength.
“Oops.”
Kim Joo-hee lifted Kang Seo-jun, who almost fell, by supporting her with her arms.
-Flash!
Kang Seo-jun, who weighs a heavyweight, was lifted like a lightweight girl.
Kim Joo-hee said while looking down at Kang Seo-jun, who had become close to her.
“Cadet Seojun Kang. You’re so thin. There must be something wrong with your regular diet.”
“Ha!?”
Jin Se-rin’s face crumpled.
This was because Jin Se-rin had been planning Kang Seo-jun’s diet for a few days.
But Kim Joo-hee didn’t care at all.
“That’s not possible. I’ll even make a menu for you today.”
Kim Joo-hee pulled her Kang Seo-jun closer to her.
“Gasp!”
Her strength was so strong that even Jin Serin, who was holding on, was pulled away.
Kim Joo-hee spoke in a whisper at a distance where each other’s breath could touch.
“Diet is as important as exercise when it comes to physical training. You know that, right?”
“Ugh!”
Jin Se-rin pulled her arms and made Kim Joo-hee and Kang Seo-jun fall apart.
“Whoops…!”
She pulled so hard that she almost thought her arm would be ripped off.
“There is no problem with Seojun’s diet! I prepare it myself!”
“What? In that case, you will need my guidance even more. Cadet Jin Se-rin’s diet is probably at an amateur level.”
“What. What!?”
-Stumble! Stumble!
Kang Seo-jun swayed as if he was tap dancing between two women.
“Oh my…!”
-Wow! Crack!
As the war of nerves between the two women became more intense, the pulling force also became stronger.
‘I feel like my shoulder is going to fall off!’
I felt like my body would be split in half as I was pulled so violently by two women with superhuman bodies.
Moreover, Kang Seo-jun even had ‘Habitual Shoulder Dislocation’ added as a debuff characteristic.
“Stop it!”
Kang Seo-jun used strength to pull his arms out of the arms of the two people.
– Kuuk.
– Hold.
“?”
But neither of them let go of Kang Seo-jun’s arm.
“…Two, both of you, please let go of your arms first… It hurts…”
In the end, Kang Seo-jun had no choice but to speak directly.
“Uh, um…”
“…….”
-Sigh.
As soon as the two people relaxed, Kang Seo-jun quickly pulled his arms out of the two people’s arms.
“Ugh….”
If I had been a little late, my arm would have been ripped off.
Kang Seo-jun turned his stiff shoulder and spoke to Kim Joo-hee first.
“Instructor Kim Joo-hee. Thank you for your words, but I have something else to do today.”
“Ah.”
At those words, Kim Joo-hee’s expression noticeably darkened.
On the other hand, Jin Se-rin’s expression became very proud.
“See!? Seojun’s current diet is enough…”
“And Serin, you go in first too.”
“That’s it… Huh?”
The confident confidence that had once appeared on Jin Se-rin’s face disappeared like an ebb.
“Heh. That’s right then.”
Kim Joo-hee laughed at that sight.
“Uuuuu….”
Hot sparks flew as the two women’s gazes collided.
Meanwhile, Kang Seo-jun sighed quietly.
“I have personal matters to attend to, so I will move separately. Instructor Kim Joo-hee, please be careful as you enter.”
Kang Seo-jun greeted Kim Joo-hee again and waved her hand at Jin Se-rin before quickly turning his back on her.
Because he felt like the skit would never end if he stayed here.
“Ha… Instructor Kim Joo-hee? Shall we talk?”
“That’s unfortunate. I also had a lot of things I wanted to ask.”
“Follow me!”
“Go to my car.”
The conversation details between Jin Se-rin and Kim Joo-hee were uploaded in the corner of my eye.
Kang Seo-jun blinked his eyes once, cleared away the troubling conversation history, and touched the smart watch on his wrist.
“This is the last thing to do this weekend… If I finish this, I can sleep now…”
What Kang Seo-jun wanted to do from now on was, to put it simply, ‘fisherman’s geography.’
‘This evening. I will start a war between the two great organizations.’
An organization of magicians who planted spies in the Seongjin Group. Red Cross Society.
And Taesan Group, a huge background for Park Shin-hoo and an authority in the Korean business community.
The goal is to create a war between these two organizations and gain ‘fishermen’s wealth.’
That is Kang Seo-jun’s last task this week.
This was what I had to do from now on.
