The S-Classes That I Raised [EN]: Chapter 310

Only Ruins Remain

308. Only Ruins Remain

“Can’t you move? Are you hurt somewhere?”

“I’m out of strength.”

Sung Hyunjae replied in a languid voice. He really did seem to lack energy.

“Coming from your mouth, it feels incredibly unfamiliar.”

“I’m also sleepy. My eyes keep closing.”

Is he just tired, or is something wrong? I finally rescued him, but he’s not going to fall into a hundred-year slumber, is he?

– It’s because I need to sort things out.

The Changeling said, hanging on my shoulder.

– A portion of what was accumulated suddenly left. He’ll need to sleep for a few days. Even after that, he’ll need to sleep more than before for a while.

So, it’s like organizing data. Still, the Changeling, being the same existence as Sung Hyunjae and his fragment, said there wouldn’t be any problems. If I had used the Plunder skill, it would have been much more unstable, and he would have slept longer.

Come to think of it, wasn’t his disappearance before the regression because he was asleep? Even if not, he wouldn’t have been in a state to move normally.

“What’s that?”

Yuhyun, who came up beside me, asked, looking at the silver dragon. The Changeling raised its head, looked at Yuhyun, and then stood up, bowing its head quite politely.

– Hello, Uncle.

“…….”

My younger brother didn’t seem to be in a good mood.

“Why, you know that magic stone combination from before? It was born recently, a fairy dragon species.”

I lowered my voice to continue. Evelyn shouldn’t be able to hear at this distance.

“If it helps me, I can use the power of an S-Class Hunter like before. Just for a moment.”

“A monster.”

“Yeah, like the others. It can talk, though.”

Yuhyun narrowed his brows slightly, examining the Changeling. The Changeling blinked its golden, round eyes as if trying to be cute.

“…Even if it’s just for a moment, it’ll be helpful.”

“Yeah, of course, it will. If you add in Grace, there won’t be much danger. Grace’s biggest drawback was that it’s over once it’s taken away.”

Using S-Class level power puts a strain on me… should I say it? I’m worried. What about A-Class or B-Class? Even just B-Class would be enough to escape the immediate crisis…….

…Wait a minute.

‘If I experience it a few times with Teacher’s skill and practice a bit, doesn’t that mean I can use it all in reality?’

Oh… this is a scam. No, it’s really a scam. There’s the disadvantage that the other person has to agree and that I have to wreck my body, but still, it’s a scam. The ability to materialize something that could only be used in the mental world is amazing.

If someone with a strong body could use all sorts of skills…

“Changeling, can you use your ability on other people too?”

– No. It’s not easy. Only Daddy can.

…Should I really work out to increase my durability? Anyway, it was an ability that would become troublesome if revealed. The importance of skills to Hunters doesn’t need to be explained, and if I said I could copy them, they would naturally be wary. And the people aiming for me… there are already many…… It was already useful, but now I can copy and use all sorts of skills.

‘Chief Song wouldn’t break a secret, and Sung Hyunjae used the ability to save himself, so he’d stamp the contract [meaning he’d agree to keep it secret].’

It’s better to keep it hidden for my safety. An F-Class stat with only support skills and an F-Class stat that sometimes becomes S-Class are completely different. If I get kidnapped again, the former might get an A-Class or so to watch me, but the latter would get an S-Class. They won’t let their guard down either.

“But why is that thing calling hyung [older brother or respected older male] that way?”

“Huh? That’s…”

– Daddy made me.

The Changeling said as if it were obvious. I did make it.

– I was born as Daddy wanted. Daddy is actually thr…

“Hey, hey!”

What is it trying to say! I pressed my finger against the Changeling’s mouth to stop it.

“It’s a good and helpful kid. It’s a small dragon. Please look kindly on it.”

I should tell it not to transform into a child’s form in the future. Yuhyun looked at the Changeling with a displeased expression before letting out a short sigh.

“Tell it not to call me Uncle.”

“Okay.”

It went well. There wasn’t a big reaction to the monster things, but is it because it can talk?

“Evelyn!”

Evelyn, who had been watching the situation from afar, approached me at my call. But she didn’t approach completely.

“Is the Guild Leader safe?”

“For now.”

“Externally, it has been announced that an S-Class monster, presumed to have appeared during the monster outbreak last time, had infiltrated the Sesung Guild.”

Good response. That’s enough to explain this mess. But the problem is whether Chief Song will accept it. At my gaze, Song Taewon opened his mouth quietly.

“…It would be better if the word that something happened to the Sesung Guild Leader doesn’t leak out.”

His gaze went to Sung Hyunjae and then moved to me. His eyes were filled with fatigue. It wasn’t just for physical reasons. Of course, he looked very tired, but. What about the clothes?

“But if a similar situation occurs again… we cannot overlook the possibility.”

“It’ll be okay. So…….”

I have to explain it to Chief Song, but I don’t know where to start.

There’s a Root in the world that’s trying to swallow our world, and to stop it, the Transcenders of old built a system and turned the Root’s power to swallow the world into dungeons, and the Awakened are being helped by system messages, and Crescent, one of those Transcenders, saw Sung Hyunjae… well, the first Sung Hyunjae? a long time ago and marked him, making him go through many worlds to accumulate experience and abilities, and in the end, the current Sung Hyunjae couldn’t handle it and was on the verge of exploding, and the Changeling… well, it’s a monster made by combining magic stones, but somehow it’s a fragment of Sung Hyunjae… that fragment was created because I regressed…….

Let’s drop it.

“Sung Hyunjae is unnecessarily talented, as you know. But Sung Hyunjae’s body couldn’t handle that power. If left alone, he would have been swallowed by his own power and lost himself, so he asked Chief Song to remove some of that power.”

I cut out the beginning, but it was roughly right.

“But that was too dangerous, so I safely extracted the Sesung Guild Leader’s power with the ability of the monster I newly obtained. So now it’s definitely calmed down. The same thing might happen again if the power builds up again, but it’s a long way off.”

“…It seems that a lot has been omitted.”

“Well, there’s also privacy mixed in. I’ll tell you the details later separately. For now, first…….”

I looked at the empty house site. Then I looked down at Sung Hyunjae.

“Do you have a safe place to stay? You need to sleep defenselessly for a few days. I have a spare room in my building, but I can’t say it’s safe.”

Yuhyun might accidentally blow it away. If Yerim knows my condition, she might say she’ll freeze me fresh, and Myungwoo might want to test out his newly made weapon, and Noah might quietly poison me and leave.

I can’t recommend that place.

“Sung Hyunjae, don’t fall asleep yet.”

“…I’ve never been this sleepy before.”

“If you sleep outside, someone will catch you.”

He’s too conspicuous to be a homeless person.

“There are… several safe houses within the guild building, but.”

Evelyn said, looking at the Sesung Guild building.

“It has to be this building.”

“This side will have to be rebuilt.”

“Yes. The other buildings will also have to be inspected.”

“Sesung Guild Leader, did you hear that? It’ll be hard to stay in your guild.”

Don’t fall asleep, open your eyes. Sung Hyunjae let out a small sigh and opened his closed eyes. It’s a really unfitting feeling, but he’s like a sleepy child.

“Miller Hunter, take charge of the guild with Vantes for the time being.”

“Yes. What about overseas?”

“That’s… it’ll be okay for a few days.”

“Understood.”

Golden eyes moved towards me.

“There are… several safe houses, but I’m not in a state to go there myself.”

“It’s impossible in this state. It’ll be too conspicuous to carry you around, ah.”

I took out a mini-mini cookie from my inventory.

“Will Evelyn take you?”

“I don’t think the Guild Leader trusts me that much. It’s not that I wouldn’t want to get my hands on it if I had the chance.”

The eyes behind the glasses smiled brightly.

“It’s not bad to be protected by an S-Class Hunter, but the safest thing is when no one knows.”

“That’s true, but the problem is that you can’t walk alone.”

“So ask Han Yoojin.”

“Yes?”

Sung Hyunjae closed his eyes and continued. Don’t fall asleep.

“He’ll take care of my life better than I will.”

“No, well… I might not be a threat, but.”

It’s burdensome if you trust me too much. Should I just steal the Wings of Silencia? As I nodded awkwardly, Evelyn took out her phone and made a call. Soon, Kang Soyoung appeared with Comet.

“Wow! It’s been cleanly blown away! But I only destroyed other people’s buildings.”

Kang Soyoung, who got off Comet’s back, approached this way and then stopped abruptly. After confirming Sung Hyunjae’s collapsed figure, she subtly hid behind Evelyn.

“…It doesn’t seem like it’s all over yet. How can you call a fragile A-Class to a place like this, unni [older sister]?”

“Just lend me Comet, Soyoung. Then, Director Han. I’m counting on you.”

“Ah, yes. Sung Hyunjae. Open your mouth.”

I put the cookie in Sung Hyunjae’s mouth. Soon his body shrank. Kang Soyoung shouted, ‘He’s a Guild Leader, but he’s cute!’ Seeing Sung Hyunjae, who had become as small as a doll for children to play with, made me feel strange again. I’m having a lot of new experiences today. Carrying this in one hand is a bit… should I put it in my pocket? After 고민 [a Korean word meaning ‘deliberation’ or ‘worry’], I took out a hot pink fur hat from my inventory and put Sung Hyunjae in it.

“Sleep quietly there… no, you have to tell me where it is. Wake up!”

I’m going to shake you. As I held the fur hat and went towards Comet, Yuhyun followed me with a worried expression.

“Are you sure you’ll be okay going alone, hyung?”

“I have no choice but to go alone. Don’t worry, I’ll use stealth skill.”

– Grrr.

Comet lowered its head and put the tip of its snout to me. As I rubbed under its chin, it wagged its tail happily.

“…Why are you always getting involved in the Sesung Guild Leader’s affairs, hyung.”

“It was a situation where everything could have been blown away, what could I do? I’m sorry that I dragged you into this too.”

“Why are you sorry, hyung.”

I stroked my younger brother’s swollen head. Even though he was upset, he lowered his head as soon as I raised my hand. He’s so kind.

“I’ll just take him to the safe house and go straight home. You… it’ll be annoying, but you still have to clean up. Evelyn said it well, but it’s right after a big mess and not much time has passed.”

But if the Sesung Guild Leader doesn’t show up now, there will be another problem. It’s also troublesome to take care of my business partner. But what can I do?

“Changeling, can you transform into Sung Hyunjae’s current form? Just show your face for a moment.”

I emphasized ‘now’. Not a child, an adult. The Changeling yawned slightly and nodded.

– I’m sleepy too, haa, I can’t do it for long.

“Okay, good.”

– Yes, Daddy. But aren’t you going to give me a name?

Oh… I inadvertently looked towards Kang Soyoung. Soyoung was drawing a big X with her arms, as if she had heard our conversation.

“…Later. When you wake up.”

– Okay!

The Changeling answered energetically and flapped its wings to descend to the floor. Then it transformed into a human, the same as Sung Hyunjae.

“How is it, Ah─”

“Ack! You can’t call me that! Imitate the tone too, the tone.”

“Okay. No, I understand.”

The pinkish silver-haired Sung Hyunjae nodded. I have to be careful with my actions too.

“Can’t you change your hair color?”

“I can’t make it exactly the same. It recognizes it as faded, but it doesn’t recognize what color it is.”

“What?”

Come to think of it, there was a time when I couldn’t remember Sung Hyunjae’s hair color well. I quickly looked into the fur hat. I saw the mini Sung Hyunjae dozing off. The hair color is… oh, it looks beige, or maybe light gray…… It’s a faded color anyway.

“…Yuhyun, do you remember Sung Hyunjae’s hair color?”

“It was a light color, but I don’t know.”

“Soyoung?”

“Yes? Uh… was it blonde like me?”

Kang Soyoung tilted her head, saying she didn’t know well. Song Taewon and Evelyn were the same. Everyone was confused except that it was a light and faded color.

“…Then just stay with that hair color.”

“Okay!”

After saying ‘take care’, I climbed onto Comet’s back. Long, black wings fluttered powerfully, soaring high into the sky in an instant.

“He really cleaned it up neatly.”

It’s a house I lived in for a few days, I’m sad. He has a lot of money, so he’ll build a new one well.
