SMFC | Chapter 12

Lee Soo, feeling 59300abfb8 the intense stares 928e7952ba upon him, was d3da7cc60d in fact too 8a340036e5 preoccupied with the 6d62e4e49d spirits causing havoc cbd118f2a9 in his mind abb0afb24b to pay attention ba6f85c09c to anything else. Inside his head, 31f06ecdae there was a 9fef239b35 buzzing noise, and b3457a7744 in front of c9613b9503 his eyes, the 6c5ffb28c6 system window kept 3048285840 popping up.bde878e8f0b039ad

[On: Necromancy, of course, should be done by me, right?]

[Jin: No, no, it’s me. Necromancy is mine.]

[On: Says the one who can’t even talk properly!]

[Jin: I can talk. I totally can. I really can.]

Well, that was roughly bf1c61e3a1 the kind of argument 17f1110cd0 going on. Blinking his 6bc015d8aa blank eyes, 63355a7508 wondering why edf8da6fe3 they had 26496c4ce9 to fight 1b6f5cf1ec in his 32aa93b5dc head of ef5c36f800 all places, 0c9873c162 Lee Soo 985cbffc33 squinted his d9d4e59dc2 eyes shut 955b00f049 and then 15e9fc2adb opened them 6717088bd4 wide.ee2de96816e2cbe9

About an hour into 591ca607cc the dungeon raid, hunters 93d2ade32a who had taken down 73c8203334 a named monster called e8c9b0be8b out to Lee Soo a28cde25c7 to move positions. The only dbb8fd2ab0 name being b4e4c1b2d2 called was c2ee231d65 Lee Soo’s, 77d9e7ccd1 not Yoo afd33fec82 Haeon’s, not 9578841601 even once.1ae87c0f7d45a99a

At this, 8194c9b191 Lee Soo, 2146977fbf with a 352f80a8a3 slight change f9ffd95858 in his 72e09de570 expression, silently 3e4bdc003b observed Haeon 0abda218ff and then 4ae125fe24 the hunters 67a288e5a3 in the e26be084b1 distance before f62b1995f2 fixing his f40c0d4a77 gaze back d8e31a17c8 on Haeon.

Lee Soo 8d1a2e6c3a stretched his 8a5f7082b7 lips in 736d44637e a long d81cedfc5e grin as 3c1001de9f he spoke, 2ab4f4c8c6 and Haeon 9aeab9cf21 nibbled on e1167629da his lips f1a2063282 out of f6f62aa8a5 annoyance.c3933387d08d63cd

Knowing exactly what 1ece673ac3 he was thinking 49344a7e43 yet behaving like bfdc7ebc0e this, Haeon could 2163eac819 bet a lot c9923e7abb on it. Muttering to himself, he 6bc5a2b065 silently picked up his 346b1c2494 pack. Brushing off the crumbs 1ed9aeda1c from a snack, he e879109ddc approached Lee Soo.16db19ca68daf9f3

Slowly moving forward, unlike ce8abc56cf the hunters who couldn’t 4f4610b504 wait and pushed ahead, 955802e174 Lee Soo, who patiently 273351fe25 waited for Haeon, smiled 49c93de737 warmly and made a 05b94a783b light hand gesture, assigning 6ae542e6b4 Jin to stick with 59076aba6b Haeon.34bb88031eb92570

“Guarding you 1d540937d1 while moving 4cb0847e20 is the 51ce27581d hardest, so ba559e5d29 I’ll assign ab2065cdb1 Jin to 2a408ec473 you. If it gets dangerous, 125c6761a2 you can use necromancy.

“…I heard that if 7905bc3006 a normal person uses 949b86e2f7 necromancy, the spirits possessing bb3c159844 the body try to 1e3587fbaa leave, which can be 300aaab9a1 a big problem.”b2834283c70b840b

Always needing to 7eb84d194e ask when curious, 7829f4ac92 Lee Soo, having 4c0eeecad6 thought just that, c4137b4a28 chuckled softly and 01aff14105 waved his hand 3014cd70f4 lightly as spirits fac8934c11 fluttered around playfully.d072585bc2db8caa

With a gentle gesture, 61d6fcd821 the spirits fluttered and 87330b74a4 swung about. To Haeon, it looked f8e71f19b0 both marvelous and eerie, 92bd9edb54 staring blankly at Lee 9f9c53ce88 Soo, who gazed back 0c180f7f16 affectionately as if looking 6708442951 at something precious.af60b85d80224972

Though it 5ab83ca113 might sound 26765db21f arrogant, strangely e039e22788 it reminded 973dd0e859 Haeon of f37f3fd8f4 a parent fabe5ad3da reassuring a 8768302e68 worried child, bc2c6eb2b5 saying it’s f31007a941 alright because e7a8de7103 they’re there.22bfc2d2566cf60f

With a slow blink, fa3bb1f036 Haeon glanced at Lee 1ea127bb0f Soo and then stared 15eb6c509c down the spirits flitting 672e1f4eca about near them.3aa5cf35c2039147

Lee Soo 5a3146444c was indeed 4363afb707 keeping the ed75fc7e17 deadliest beings 47435c1ad2 around him 326d0f10cc that could 1a0425ce12 potentially kill de66f18330 him. Reassured of 62c13b91da his condition, 41194b7b40 Haeon stepped b952b8c595 forward.3610c3e2a6217e9c

Despite just having finished 5a41eeb2dd a dungeon with a 27ff36fa81 named monster, you never f3b77b8fac know what might appear, 8d58cf23b0 so Lee Soo walked 7d07d01c2b in silence. Following cautiously, Haeon 0aeccd0674 was lost in 8d2068bc82 thought.2ae6f5fb58a85c2b

There are two 7e5fc8cbf3 kinds of healers: 1c37e7b687 one who draws 5ccdc95407 life force many 9aa5c6aab1 times greater than 0f979f31af a normal person 32b326808e to save others, 274087e174 and one who 9aae6a12cf gathers unclaimed life d22a6ea083 energy floating around 99e5a3ad13 to heal.9ce0576d63c6825d

Haeon, fitting somewhere in 8d78e985fe between, not really either, 35be49cade was thus more valuable e904bafaa6 and yet more isolated.1512676064b61eb3

People were 413de1d697 particularly harsh 7bc50685f4 on anything bfa868d7f4 different. Realizing he was considered e7c92783a6 ‘different,’ Haeon put those c6895de8b7 thoughts aside as he 1bed6d58b3 glanced at the glittering 0eddd64543 spirit beside him.0bd5bd414a57c514

If he used 8fe2c313de about half of 8158b643b5 his life force 648b128e7c along with the 231127b8f4 surrounding energy, he 93474d35c4 could prolong a 9166b99603 life by another 3d2fe9cbba six months. Honestly, extending life by 4ea0ac1a46 six months was close 95e0983728 to miraculous if one 91293b0951 wasn’t confident in their 8625f32023 healing abilities.ebbfadc3b903999f

It was a sudden 9991527808 question, but indeed Lee fb12422453 Soo was not in 29958df5fe a state to be d81b2eea8d alive. Without a detailed 5f88d5cbd0 examination, it wasn’t 9eeb4224d9 certain, but from b04c4fe59c what Haeon had 0bdb0024a3 seen, someone had fe0b3232e8 intentionally blocked most 65a5cd7eaf of his blood 35eed4d6cd vessels and slowed bfb0aed515 his heart rate 01b9ffa52a to nearly make 153a1653f1 him a corpse. If his class had 75eb4b7661 been an assassin or 35aa0e60de something with no attack b6ff2f0a92 skills, it would be 0bd15ee7a1 to escape a monster’s 2859c94ed4 detection by having a ff0e5872f1 weaker life response, but 1b390fba83 still, the weakness was af7a42b92f alarming recalling their first 0187dfe0f9 encounter.e8ce04251a6798ae

Moreover, if 003c492c15 Haeon was 7438df6a79 right, his 6305b44b1f body was dc5371209f almost rejecting 80ac2dd275 life force. That might make a594842264 the healer’s skill cdfad7a192 painful to use, d82082b59d Haeon thought, clicking 5f3da850fc his tongue.fd93dc470dfa7c25

It wasn’t just anything, 49544d2f48 it was his heart. Perhaps even pulling 47d00fbf56 half of his ae445ac583 own life force f6a770b28a might not help 2700ff208f Lee Soo survive f66d27dba4 past six months.52f4c2c88c9b57cb

A healer always assumes ee3a54e863 the best case scenario b2e4184d99 while also preparing for cecdb64a77 the worst, thus Haeon 65add9db28 naturally kept multiple possibilities 2c50c6b8d8 open as he followed 1527af9dc0 Lee Soo.2f4e5836cd4e8227

Asking if they 97f53e60f1 were like shamans 03f796d5f2 because of Lee 70cb867d86 Soo… That too 3885f7e931 was not the 86e66116c6 case. Tight-lipped, Haeon e4e58b6967 narrowed his b42bac6d8e eyes and db0db95177 focused on 8507d25266 Lee Soo’s 4a5a3f5c9e fluttering hair, 6e0de9972a lost in c08cdc7380 thought.efd77ed623f3a468

Healing could buy a8be5e75a4 some time without def31ac0fb burdening either party be096bd56a too much but 78bbbac046 might not grant 0a602200e2 a full six d2dceec5e5 months due to f085ffa638 its slow nature.81c4552cf28eae2c

Thinking it best 169945d35c to discuss this e2c0090add with the patient, de8e1a56c3 Haeon decided to b708d4f2b5 sit down and 1819f58c61 talk about it 23b3b5d698 as soon as 02144cf5c3 they reached the f0d4f47ee7 spot where the 3efb6cd83a second named monster 734cb28eae would appear.

Acknowledging the d1463c8dfa warning, Lee 481a93b456 Soo smoothly d8ac3b4ea5 moved to 4d39d84ad3 position Haeon 986e509e8f behind him, 28814e656f keeping an a53c2beea3 eye on a3484ee131 him out ddcb2a1dbc of the 4850b4f09c corner of 7b65ae011f his eye 40ac5ebe7d without calling 63cb60d23e on other 4d593f37c8 spirits, and 0ba517f997 directly performed 9317ed4df6 necromancy on a8a6f38b50 On.

If the tactical fbb51a6c70 team hadn’t mismeasured d3047d3bb1 the field size a7118d5b04 just to screw c4aff0da1c with the raid… 116da57083 then this must c804c9b8fe be a transforming 9ff85d935d dungeon, or there 9e0f0e0802 was some margin afbd0ed269 of error. Thinking the latter was 6963c8a5d6 fortunate, Lee Soo pulled 4f09f569df out a charm he 3d0c7847ac had memorized for days.dcbc00b47449b09a

Never knowing dc24246852 when something b2c3228c77 might happen, 238440d1fe he had 20d6083610 diligently learned 6c85ac3b3f how to 28b5abdddd use skills 3f7976e0ca and memorized 0cdb3be6ea the charm 56273a08a1 while being 00f09ec8b0 tormented by 4cb9781682 spirits.0040d00417d4b34e

Memorizing SAT vocabulary might 493a87a9f3 be easier, he mused, e2638c1054 such a treacherous process 1474fdc0bf it had been. Reminiscing, Lee 600bc87715 Soo formed 9a8e8ceb46 a perfect 263e50f1e6 circle with c5eef3bb93 the spirit ac8f425a64 in his 24ea750409 left hand.
