Chapter 21: Mysterious Abilities


" ... "


Everyone looked at Hyunsuk strangely, even Lan couldn't hide her surprised expression when she found what Hyunsuk said was true.


Is this kid really a fortune teller??


The first one to respond was Olivia, "Ehm Hyunsuk... How did you find out under this car was a box?? "


Represented by Olivia we all looked at Hyunsuk with curious and questioning gazes. Hyunsuk seems a bit awkward, scratching his head and then talking.


" Well, I don't really know how either. It was just that when everything was talking about the supplies earlier, I subconsciously tried to look around and suddenly found a lot of information coming into my head. And one of them gives a clue about the location of the box "


Hyunsuk tried to explain his best to everyone, but everyone was even more confused by all the explanations Hyunsuk gave.


Meanwhile Lan also tried to analyze about what Hyunsuk was talking about earlier. In an introductory tone Lan asked Hyunsuk.


" Have you ever done this before?? " ask Lan.


" Ehm no, this is the first time "


" How did that information suddenly appear in your head? "


" It just popped up just like that when I thought about investigating around "


Kan sighed, wanting to be seen after all this was clearly abnormal. But when he thought that he was in a world where monsters existed, he could only conclude that something like skill or magic seemed to exist in this world.


But how did Hyunsuk get that ability? they have always been together. The only thing that could be the answer was the black room earlier, obviously in the room he felt something was awakening inside him and it seemed like it was also being experienced by everyone. Does that mean I also awaken an ability? but how do I check what I wake up to?


I then tried to think investigate around with my mind, but nothing happened. Is the activation ability different? or is the ability we awakened to not the same?


Sighing, I looked at Hyunsuk who seemed to be interrogated by everyone. Walking forward I tried to help Hyunsuk.


" All right, everyone, don't ask Hyunsuk like that. The conclusion I got seems like this world has something to do with magic or something else. And most likely Hyunsuk got his abilities from the room we passed earlier, I also don't know if everything evokes abilities just it seems like the abilities raised are different for each person "


Everything seemed to nod at what I said, well after all in this world all things are possible. But the speed to accept the facts is to return to each other, for example like Hyunsuk, Olivia and Joshua.


As for Robert himself the person seemed to think quite deeply, perhaps thinking of the various problems and conflicts that could occur in the future because magic existed.


While I myself can accept this fact easily, trying to reconfirm my mind I told Hyunsuk to use his abilities back.


" Hyunsuk is trying to use your ability to return to search for something, see how detailed the quest of your ability is and whether you can measure the limits of your search? "


" Good Hyung "


After saying that, Hyunsuk crouched down and touched the ground with one hand while closing his eyes.


After a while the boy opened his eyes and stood back up, "I didn't find anything like Hyung's supply box anymore around here, either, and also this ability seemed to provide all the information at an effective distance that I could reach. For the limit of the distance I can measure is from here to the pointer pole there, but my ability seems to be unable to penetrate through the barrier "


Lan then digested what Hyunsuk said before speaking, "As Hyunsuk said, his ability is quite useful to search for all the items of the maids are within the scope of his search radius, he said, following on from what Hyunsuk showed seemed to be the effective limit of Hyunsuk's ability of about 15 meters. Does using this ability cost you? "


" Em well, when I use my ability I feel a little tired but not physically more into the mental "


Does that mean that ability used using mental strength pay? Well it was quite natural considering the abilities that Hyunsuk himself used like a type of spiritual quest technique. What about the type of ability that uses physical? will the ability suck mental or physical appearance? It could be both, right? well thinking about it will have no end.


Then I gave an explanation and conclusion of what I thought to the others. Others also voice their thoughts such as how to know the type of ability, the ability obtained whether random or there is a certain thing, or, even Olivia herself suggested using a spell to summon abilities that then get strange gazes from everyone.


Olivia said, "Hey don't look at me like that, you've seen Harry Potter, haven't you? I just concluded like that "


After a few moments of discussion, we went back on our way. Knowing Hyunsuk's ability to consume mental agility, I told Hyunsuk not to carelessly use his ability anymore.


I didn't want the boy to be helpless when the threat came all of a sudden. Therefore until he feels quite select never force to use the ability.


After walking for a while, we encountered two road branches. If it was like before, I would only rely on my instincts to determine which path we would cross, but when I wanted to talk suddenly Olivia spoke first to the others.


" It is better that we take the left path, I see that the right path will only lead us to a detour far enough away and also enter a dense urban area. Meanwhile the left lane will lead us to several intersections that lead to the exit. "


" ... "


Well, it seems like our second member has discovered his own abilities.
