‘Study of Gwanglim through Case Studies.’

When Kim Yuri took this course as an optional subject, many people refused. “Gwanglim Research is a bit of a recommendation for first-year students, but… There will be many explanations that are difficult to understand if you have not had experience with Gwanglim.”

On the first day of class, Yoo Sanghee, who sat next to Kim Yuri, said so, but Kim Yuri said, ‘I’m very interested in Gwanglim. I really wanted to hear it.’

She said that it was not easy for her to understand the contents of the class as Yoo Sanghee advised. Still, Kim Yuri did not give up and continued to listen. Among the contents of her syllabus, there was a part she wanted to hear.

“Today’s theme is ‘Higher Beings and Gwanglim’.”

With only a few days left before the final exams of the first semester, the moment that Kim Yuri had been waiting for has come. She said, “It’s very rare that you have a relationship with a higher being and open up the Gwanglim. This time, we want to study that case.”

When Noh Yeong-mi, the teacher in charge of “Study of Gwanglim through Cases,” and the homeroom teacher of the first year, second class, finished speaking, someone raised her hand.

She said, “If there are as many Gwanglims as there are higher ones, it would be difficult to see them as ‘extremely rare.’ There are not a few gods that appear in myths and fictions around the world.”

“The world population is about 8 billion, of which 20% of players are about 1.6 billion. On the other hand, the number of beings with a Godhead worthy of being treated as a higher being does not exceed 10,000.”

Even if all the higher beings lend power to humans one by one, it was enough to say that it was extremely rare, 1 in 160,000.

“There are higher beings who don’t lend any power to humans or the Jin people. Considering this, it is correct to say that players who are connected to the higher level by Gwanglim are ‘extremely rare’.”

Students, including students who raised their hands in response to Noh Young-mi’s rebuttal, were seen taking notes in various places in the classroom. She continued her class. “There is a saying in this world, ‘There are similar Gwanglims, but there are no identical Gwanglims’. As the saying goes, the player is born with a unique Gwanglim, but the moment they form a bond with a higher being, the power of the higher being blends into that Gwanglim.”

Noh Young-mi said, pointing to Yoo Sanghee, who was sitting next to Kim Yuri. “Sanghee Yoo, who signed a contract with Akea, the goddess of healing, is a prime example. The wind elemental attack system Gwanglim has been replaced with the ability to radiate wind with healing powers.”

After that, Gwanglim of several famous players was introduced, starting with Yoo Sanghee’s case. After the introduction of some cases was over, the subject turned to further research.

“Recently, student Yoo Sanghee presented a thesis on her topic on higher beings and Gwanglim. Please give a general explanation.” Yoo Sanghee, who got up from her seat, floated the thesis material titled ‘A Study on the Relationship with Multiple Higher Beings and Gwanglim’ on the electronic blackboard.

“I was last year, Adrastia… No, Nemesis once said, ‘You have talent.’ Akea-sama didn’t like it, so I politely declined it, and thanks to Nemesis-sama’s step back, it was something that never happened. This incident prompted me to write a thesis containing the results of my research.”

Nemesis, goddess of revenge. Akea, goddess of healing. In Greco-Roman mythology, which is the most popular, the name of a higher-ranking being with a unique Godhead appeared at the same time. Kim Yuri felt her stomach churn.

‘Two higher beings… … The two of us are all so agitated.’

Even before graduation, Yoo Sanghee was receiving scouts from numerous research institutes regardless of government, association, or private sector. After her concise and clear presentation, applause ensued throughout her classroom. Noh Young-mi then spoke with a faint smile on her lips. “It is as announced by Yoo Sanghee. Unlike the blessings that can be bestowed upon many, only one higher being can lend power to Gwanglim. Because of that, once you make a bond with a higher being, it is difficult to establish a bond with other higher beings. It’s only natural that we don’t want other beings to interfere with a player who’s come close enough to Gwanglim.”

Kim Yuri, who was listening to Noh Young-mi’s words, started to get cold sweat. One of the students asked a question. “Then is it impossible for one person to borrow the power of multiple higher beings through Gwanglim?”

“No, it is theoretically possible and practically very close. There are only a few exceptions in the world. Professor Ham Geun Hyeong, the head of the student body, is like that.”

Kim Yuri recalled her own homeroom teacher, Ham Geun Hyeong’s Gwanglim. It was known as, ‘The Gaze of a Sharpshooter and the Gwanggung’. It was a powerful Gwanglim that pierced the target with the eyes of high-ranking beings known as sharpshooters and summoned a shrine during activation.

“High-ranking beings who are famous as sharpshooters are connected with Master Ham Geun Hyeong and Gwanglim. According to Professor Ham Geun Hyeong, there are two high-ranking beings who always lend power, one with a capricious person, and one with a relationship, but who is silent. It is said that four high-ranking beings are together.”

In addition to this, there was the ringing class bell. When the class bell stopped, Noh Young-mi finished her class. “The class ends here,” she said. “The final exam range will be announced on each device tomorrow morning.”

After the last class before the final exam, he could hear students from all over the place talking about the content of the class. “I knew that they were connected with the higher level of the Student Dean, but four? It’s really cool.”

“Actually, it is the ability to summon the four shrines. All four of them are high-ranking beings known for being sharpshooters.”

“Usually, it’s easy to go crazy even if you are connected with a higher being. Due to the pressure of the dual wave and the amount of information… What happened to Ham Geun Hyeong’s mental power?”

“After listening to the explanation, there are two things that are always connected, right? Maybe the other two are keeping a distance in consideration for Ham Geun Hyeong.”

Every time she heard her words, Kim Yuri’s grew. She reflexively grabbed her trembling hand. Under a long-sleeved school uniform shirt that is not suitable for summer. It reminded me of the existence of the Gwanglim Sealing technique that almost faded away.

‘There is no other case like me! Maybe good, what should I do…’

The moment she first got Gwanglim, her higher beings flocked to her as if they were waiting, and forcibly formed a bond with her.

‘Having only four teachers, Ham Geun Hyeong…’

Kim Yuri now did not know exactly how many higher beings she was connected to with Gwanglim.  This was because she stopped counting when the fever passed.

Ding dong.

[Lena^▽^♡] Is class over?

[Lena^▽^♡] I want to go to the grocery store together today! Wait until the lesson is over! >_<

It was a message from a classmate that arrived. Being with my classmates made me feel at ease. Just by receiving her message, Kim Yuri started to relax. She said, ‘The control of Gwanglim depends on her mental strength and heart. It’ll all be fine…!’

Kim Yuri captured her heart and wrote her reply.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

The first day of the final exam was over, but there were still a lot of exams left. Most of the classmates at Kim Yuri’s house looked at the text with her tired face.

“Are you going to study all night tonight? Tomorrow’s subject is a bit of a test range…”

“There is also a practical test, so don’t overdo it! At two o’clock, the lights will be turned off,” Kwon Lena and Kim Yuri, who wore hair that tied their hair together in the shape of an apple, spoke with a parish face.

Kim Yuri, who was usually in a ponytail, and Kwon Lena, who was a half-bundle. The two, who had long hair, apologized for disturbing their studies when final exams were imminent. In addition to this and seeing the head, Song Dae-seok spits out remarks.

—Looks like a top.

As a result, even after Song Dae-seok apologized to the two people, Min Green treated him like an invisible person for 6 hours.

“Saeum. Come here for a second.”

“…I also had something to see with Saeum.”

“I thought the same thing.”

Then, it was break time. Kim Yuri, Kwon Lena, and Lee Han suddenly called for Sawol Saeum.

“…Why?”

“Sit here.” “Yes? excuse me…”

Driven by the spirit of the three, Sawol Saeum sat down on a chair in front of the full-length mirror. Although it was shorter than Han-yi, the brittle bob that fell below his ears stood out. It seems that it happened because I didn’t dry my hair properly and instead chose to sleep on my desk whenever I could take a break.

“The right head is completely crushed! It is impossible to revive.”

“How will we do it?”

“Why don’t you braid this part a little?”

“I tend to have thin hair, so if I braid it too thickly, my hair might come out.”

“Then, shall we thinly braid it here and there? I’ll do it this way.”

“I’ll start from the other side!”

“Yes? excuse me…”

Before Sawol Saeum could say anything, children with rubber bands in one hand began to move their hands. In an instant, the hair was braided all over the place, and thread pins were attached to it.

‘It’s not something that high school boys do…’

As if Sawol Saeum asked for help, she came out of the mirror and looked at Hwang Jiho and Maeng Hyo-don. Unfortunately, Maeng Hyo-don was currently on the phone with a middle school teacher to solve a math problem, and Hwang Jiho was just watching while preparing to treat him.

‘Should I dry it?’

However, when I saw Kim Yuri smiling and combing Sawol Saeum’s hair, I couldn’t dry it. I had been thinking a lot lately and my mind has been complicated. In the end, in everyone’s perception, Sawol Saeum wasn’t something that high school boys would do, but it was changed into a much more organized style.

The three people who took part in the styling work had cool faces.

“Huh. I was always worried about the counting of the fortress because my head was a mess!”

“It’s pretty sad.”

“Is it better to cut…?”

“No, my hair looks good now! Don’t cut it!”

“Sometimes we’ll sort it out.” Sawol Saeum had a subtle expression on her face, but she nodded as she heard the words that they looked good together. “Yes! Then please.”

She could imagine Sawol Saeum living in this harsh world with such fluttering ears.

“Hey, I made all the late-night snacks.” Min Green’s voice came from the kitchen. Today’s dinner was Min Green and Song Dae-seok. The menu was ice cream and scoop cookies.

Both tasted like vanilla, almonds, and walnuts, and looked very similar. “From the outside, you can’t tell the difference between ice cream and cookies!”

“Does Green like almonds? I think almonds go in every time.”

“Uh, it’s not me, that’s what Dae-seok likes…”

With that, the other children looked at Song Dae-seok and Min Green with suspicious eyes. There was the question of ‘Why aren’t we dating?’, but the children pretended not to know because they thought that if they opened their mouths, Song Dae-seok might end up getting hurt.

“Are you still there?”

“Yeah, there’s still a lot left. I have some snacks I bought yesterday.”

“Hyo-don, sit here!” Maeng Hyo-don, who had just finished talking to the teacher, appeared, and the children actively changed the topic. Only the seat next to Kim Yuri was empty, but Maeng Hyo-don was still embarrassed to sit right next to her and sat a little further away.

“Are you studying math right now? How are you?”

“Why did Hyo-don choose math?” The children’s eyes were focused on Maeng Hyo-don. Maeng Hyo-don, who was taking only math among general subjects related to the CSAT, must have looked strange.

“When I was in middle school, the teacher I respected was a math teacher. You are helping me with this exam.”

Hyo-don hadn’t told the kids during midterms. Maeng Hyo-don seemed to have opened his heart to his children a lot. “Are you the teacher who bought me carnations on Teacher’s Day last time?”

“Uh…”

Upon hearing that answer, Kim Yuri looked at me and smiled. It seemed to be an expression of gratitude for the last time Maeng Hyo-don had asked me to help deliver flowers.

Kwon Lena, who was listening to Maeng Hyo-don, added in a bright voice. “I understand that feeling! The ‘music and ability research’ course I’m currently taking was told by Kwon Jae-in sunbaenim before, so I want to work hard too.”

Kwon Lena studied harder than her last midterm exam and her provisional score was not bad, either. It seemed that the goal of getting closer to the violinist Kwon Jae-in, whom she admired was much closer to her than the goal of gaining recognition from her parents who abused her, and she seemed to be well motivated.

When one was listening to a conversation that could warm a heart just by listening to it, Hwang Jiho lightly tapped my knee under the table. Suddenly, I could see why this guy was like this.

Jiho spoke lowly. “A report from the enemy came into the other clone.”

“What are you looking at?” Hwang Jiho continued speaking with a displeased face.

“The gangster is back.”
