The S-Classes That I Raised

“Wow, I've never seen a nucleus that big. ”

Yerim said, looking at the pearls that are so big that three adults can't wrap their arms around them. The pearl that glows in white looks really small compared to the size of a clam.

“Nuclear?”

“Yes. They say when spirits get old, they build up their strength and become like that jewel. It's also known as Spirit Stone.If you lose a nucleus, it won't kill you, but it will weaken you. We're losing the power we've accumulated. ”

Yerim said that this was the biggest thing he had ever seen, and he made a circle with his two arms.

“White whales. I heard whales have lived for over 500 years. ”

So how long has that spirit been alive? Over a thousand years old.

- Welcome.

I hear a bad, heavy voice. Going down further, I felt like I had an endlessly high and white wall in front of me, not a shell. Like a haze flowing from a spirit, it envelops your feet.

“Hello."

Yerim used the shark differently when dealing with other spirits. I was a little nervous when I said that I was the oldest.

“Well, I told the other spirits I was just a different person in the world. It's actually a little bit more complicated. So... ”

Yerim looked at me instead of talking. I don't know if I can say it, or how to explain it.

“Now this world has been created with information from a world that has already been destroyed in the past. It's not real, it's artificial. The original world is gone. ”

- I knew it.

“… Yes? ”

- I found out when the world shakes for the third time.

You mean when you installed the third disc. The fog surrounding the area became even darker. Even Yerim's face, which was standing right next to me, blocked the water for me, looked a little blurry.

- But there is a way. You know about Spirit Eggs, right?

“Oh, yes. Eggs of many colours. ”

- It was created by the spirits of the world destroying them. to be able to itemize and move to a new world.

Suddenly, I remembered Irene saying that she knew a lot from birth. Perhaps the knowledge of the spirits who made the eggs permeated it.

- But it takes a long time for the egg to wake up. It takes a few decades, a hundred years, or more, to wake up in a place where the attributes of that world are strong. If you take care of the same attribute spirit in a world where the original spirit exists, it will be faster, but it still takes more than a year.

“More than a year? However, the spirit of fire that came with us woke up as soon as it touched the power of the same fire spirit. ”

- with the help of a caretaker.

“Yes?”

- With the help of a caregiver, the hatching speed will be faster. There was a foster child in our world, but you seem to have a much stronger power.

... I used my baby's skill on Irene's egg. Nothing came up, but it must have affected him.

“So if you make an item, an egg, you can take it with you, right? He hatched it. ”

“Maybe……? ”

Even if it's not a quest reward or a point shop item, I don't know what a rookie can do for you.

“Maybe they'll take points in return. ”

“That's a lot of points! ”

Yerim exclaimed excitedly, but soon he looked at the pearl clams, seriously stiffening his face.

“But will the spirits accept it? ”

- Of course, it's part of who they are. Is there another water spirit in Yerim's world?

“Only the Spirit of Fire. Right?"

“Yes, it is. Irene said it was her first time. ”

- Well, it's gonna take a little longer to hatch, but the nanny should be able to help you up soon. But the spirit of fire, it's the first time.

The fog shimmers before my eyes. Now, not only the appearance of Yerim, but my hands didn't look right. This is too dark. I didn't feel so good either. Suddenly, I remembered the fog of the jellyfish, Choi Seok-won. At that time, Yerim...

… huh?

“I'm back!”

The door opens wide and Yerim jumps in. Open the door of the refrigerator with a hand stroke.

“Oh, it's hot. You finished early today, Uncle? ”

“Huh? Uh, uh. ”

Yerim quickly emptied his glass of water and sat down on the couch. There was a Hunter-related broadcast on TV.

“I want to wake up quickly too! I want to be a hunter! ”

“The Awakening Center does not accept minors. And do something dangerous. ”

Until the Awakening, I'd rather not work for Hunter. Even though the world has changed a lot, there are still many more people living ordinary lives like before.

Yerim switches channels with the remote. A new Class S dungeon was sold to Seung Sung and the Seung Guild Master left momentarily.

“The guild leader of Seung Seung, is he really handsome? You don't suck at screens? ”

“Handsome, filthy handsome. Reality is better. ”

“Have you seen my uncle? ”

“That's right…. ”

I met him several times, and then I got stuck. Why am I the guild leader of Seung Sung? But I think I've seen it. Did you have a dream?

“The most popular thing for kids is the head of the Maritime Guild, but they also have a huge following. ”

“You guys are so uncool. The guild leader is much better. ”

Dad, aren't you a bumpkin.I think Yerim is only two badges older than that... No, I'm still twenty-five. So he was often mistaken for an older brother, not an uncle. Not just one of my sisters... but none.

… none?

Something was wrong. I didn't have a brother. Yerim was like a brother to me. Since I was a child, I often played and cared for him, and we lived together since Yerim was left alone. I was worried about how I would raise my niece when I was around her, but she was a precious child who could not be changed for me.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't suffer, but my Yerim is so nice. My brother, really.

... It's strange.

“Yerim, uncle ─”

… not your uncle?

“Well, I'll be out in a minute. ”

“Yes, goodbye. ”

I left the house. It was an apartment. An apartment I've never seen before. I didn't live here. Where I need to go now. Trying not to think anything, he grabbed a taxi and said as soon as it came out of his mouth.

“The Maritime Guild. ”

The Hae Yeon Guild. She stood there when she got out of the cab. I also saw the head of the Maritime Guild. Yoohyun Han.

“Yoohyun.”

It's my brother. The moment I thought about it, there was fog all around. Fog. Spirit. When I try to think of something.

“It's dangerous, uncle! ”

Yerim grabbed me and pulled me back. The blade that opened up in front of your nose flew past you.

“The Spirit of Fire is dangerous! Contractors are just as violent! ”

“What?"

This was really weird. Why is Yerim calling Yoohyun dangerous?

“Yerim, ugh! ”

The back of the Pokémon is caught violently. I threw it away and rolled it into the ground. I guess it's Class C now... huh? Wait a minute, I'm Class F... No, I was awakened in the first place... Oh, shit!

“Don't go through other people's heads! Wait, Han Yoo-hyun! ”

The flames blaze through the mist. The user rolls over to dodge the attack. The heat passing by is intense, but not surprisingly hot. Yoohyun can't be this flame. Why did my brother attack me before?

“It's true, chuck! ”

The knife grazes your arm and sticks it to the ground. My chest is then pressed against my feet. It's fake. I was so sure, but I felt very bad about the way my brother looked at me coldly.

“I'll save you, Uncle! He's really dangerous. We have to get rid of him. ─”

“... Yerim is full of crap, Spirit. ”

A white gun appeared at my fingertips. I pulled the trigger just like that. If it's really Yoohyun, it won't hurt a scratch. But the fake was scattered like fog. The user raises itself and throws a bomb anywhere at the same time.

Yeah, I heard a little noise. This place is underwater, so there is little noise, no firepower.

“Hey! My Yerim doesn't treat Yoohyun as a danger! You'll say," What's wrong with you? "”

And he's gonna beat the shit out of you. Get rid of nothing. So is Yoohyun.

“What is your purpose? ”

Are you really going to be a follower of this world? Maybe it has something to do with the people outside this dungeon who heard they were trying to invade the Black Cow Forest. Fog is like a jellyfish. I was too careless.

If we can install a disc and get a rookie in here, that means even obedient junkies can do the same. I don't have any news yet.

- Yerim is better.

“… What? ”

The spirit makes a funny noise.

- The Fire Spirit is really dangerous. It's their nature to greedily swallow whatever they want. That's why you like him the most. That's even better for a foster kid. I will protect you from the Spirit of Fire and its contractors.

“What are you talking about? ”

It was so ridiculous that it calmed down. First of all, it doesn't look like it has anything to do with religious addiction.

“Nature and all that, my brother would never hurt me. Yerim doesn't have to protect me. ”

- You can't hold yourself back forever. That's what fire is all about. He can't be swallowed and burned, and no one can get near him. The nanny likes him, too. I'm not gonna tell you to put out the fire. It's also good for the nanny to get closer to him.

The words, "For Yerim's sake," pricked my ears. With my conscience. But just because you say that ─

Thud! Then you hear a blunt knock. Thud, thud, thud! It was subsequently shaken heavily.

“Mister!”

It is Yerim. You can see the fog spreading and the long frozen portions of the sea. Giant pillars tilting sharply and tongues! Tap the shells.

“Yerim!”

“This fool did something strange! ”

- It's not weird!

He said as if the spirit was unfair.

- Yerim is nervous, too! He's not really family, so maybe he'll just fall apart. I wonder how far that goes. If Yerim is not Awakened, if he becomes a normal person, everything will become a bubble....

“Hey!"

Yerim shouted. My face turned red.

“You're embarrassing me! ”

Thud! Another huge chunk of ice pounds on the shells.

“Yerim.”

“It's just that sometimes, sometimes! ”

“I would never...”

“I know! I know. ”

He tapped his red cheek with his palm and said as if he didn't mind.

“But that's what I think. You said I was, uh, dreaming about it. It's been a few months, but it's still a bit of a dream. I don't want to lose it because I don't want to break it all of a sudden. You know, stuff like that. ”

Oh, it's embarrassing, and Yerim grumbles.

“I don't know, I saw a little bit. But I've eaten a lot more than that, and I've eaten a lot longer, like when I first met you, and I don't just have a reference. With you and Han Yoo-hyun, I just want to match it because I like it.... Why would I see something like that? ”

“No.”

“… I don't want to lose again. ”

“So am I. I'm not like you, Yerim, but you've been separated from Yoohyun for years. I don't want to go back to that. Never.”

“It's amazing how many times I've heard it. How did Yoohyun do that? ”

Yerim smiles small.

“I wish you were my real family. ”

“I'm still family. ”

“A new family. Hey, you! ”

A spear of ice appeared in the palm of Yerim's hand. The tip pierces the clam.

“It's true that I like you a lot. I envy Han Yoohyun a little. But my parents loved me the most! It's already there, even if you don't fake it! ”

- But you don't have to be nervous if you take the nanny!

“I want to bring Han Yoohyun and show him in my head, really. My guild leader was so anxious about you. ”

... Why are you stabbing me in the chest all of a sudden?

“Besides, I'm really good. It's a little unsettling, maybe. I was worried about being on the report card. I'm afraid Han Yoohyun will look at me pitifully. I stabbed him first, but he said he's growing fast as a hunter. There are other concerns, too. But nowadays, I don't think about my mom and dad, and I don't cry much. Don't say anything! ”

I quickly shut up. But, still.

“So don't try to help me any way you want. If it's really hard, I'll tell him. Han Yoohyun will help. Hyun-ah will give it to you after she takes off her feet. Young-nim will do the same. There are a lot of people close to me in Yeon-yeon and Breaker. I have a sister from the galaxy, Song Hye-nim, and Eugene like her name. Again…… ”

Not only did I know him, but the first name I heard was lined up.

“If I say I'm in trouble, there are plenty of people who can help. ”

-... I wanted to help.

“Yes, you can. Talk to me, and I'm here to help, already. ”

Yerim reaches out for the spirit.

“Help me take the spirit. I'm gonna love her so much. ”

- … Yes, Yerim.

The giant body of the spirit shivers faintly. The shell disappears, leaving only the white pearl, and then it shrinks to a small extent. A pearl small enough to climb on the palm of his hand sits on the palm of Yerim's hand.

- My pearl will be the birthplace of the egg. Tell everyone. I'm taking the Spirit Egg with me. It will help us gather our strength.

“Thank you, really. ”

Yerim hesitated for a moment, but did not ask the spirit if it would be okay. Instead, I asked.

“Maybe when the world shakes for the third time, we can hear in detail how we realized this place wasn't real. ”
