Chapter 221: S-Class Scanner (6)
Throughout last night, Baek Seol-hee and I studied her doppelgnger ability extensively.
It was a lengthy process.
The doppelgnger was repeatedly created and then destroyed.
I accidentally shattered the doppelgnger with a bat.
Fortunately, no injuries occurred when the doppelgnger broke, allowing us to explore its abilities in various ways.
For now, only one can be made at a time. Check. The doppelgnger can be broken to recover mana. Check. If the doppelgnger is close, sensations can be synchronized. Check. And
I summarized Baek Seol-hees doppelgnger ability to make it more accessible for her.
Its possible to move to the doppelgngers location. This involves transforming the main body into frost mist for movementbut teleporting across spaces is not possible.
Someday, itll be possible.
Baek Seol-hee, perhaps envious of Yumirs space teleportation, aspired to move her main body to the doppelgngers location regardless of the distance.
For now, her wish was simply to be able to cross over to my house where the doppelgnger was at any moment.
I must. Definitely. I want to move freely. I cant keep relying on Yumir forever.
Yumir doesnt complain every time she teleports, does she?
She doesnt. If she did, I wouldve said something. But because she doesnt, I feel even more apologetic. Especially last time, when you and I were tsk.
I felt really sorry for spoiling the moment. Its okay. You can just come to me like this from now on.
Although Baek Seol-hees method might be more complex and challenging than Yumirs, the fact that she cpi;d now leave the Taeguk Watch at her office and come to my room was a significant achievement.
Additionally, the doppelgnger can use abilities, albeit in a very weakened form.
It was not limited to making gestures; it could fully utilize abilities.
However, the abilities it could use are clearly limited.
The abilities the doppelgnger can use depend on the total amount of magic power given to it. If you put in the power of an E-rank, it has the strength of an E-rank; if C-rank, then C-rank strength.
If I put all my magic power into creating a doppelgnger, I wouldnt be able to move and would have to control the doppelgnger only while I recover. Ah, this part is a bit different. Modify this. Its not quite like that
Baek Seol-hee, lying on the bed, watched me organize her doppelgnger ability on my laptop and helped with the organization.
The synchronization of sensations between the doppelgnger and the main body varies with distance. Its like a walkie-talkie. Even the distance between the front door and the veranda is enough to lose the connection.
We just need to train.
Right. Well train so that the doppelgnger can appear in front of people. When its time for prenatal education, just lying in bed or taking a light walk will be enough.
Someday, even just sitting still, doppelgnger Baek Seol-hee should be able to handle everything on her own.
But that would require consuming a significant amount of magic power each time a doppelgnger was created. If there were a way to quickly replenish mana
Ah.
A good idea came to mind.
Seol-hee, how much cash do you have?
Should I give it all?
No, no. What are you talking about? When you say it like that, it sounds like Im some scumbag whos after your money.
I flicked Baek Seol-hees forehead lightly with my finger.
I meant, do you have enough to buy a building on Ulleungdo, about a thousand pyeong?
How much would that be?
To buy about a thousand pyeongjust a simple estimate would be about a hundred billion for the land alone?
Amazing, Ulleungdo.
A hundred million per pyeong.
Only possible because of the strong patriotic energy imbued in the land.
Considering the pensions and hotels on top, wed need at least two hundred billion.
I frequently visit a certain pension, you know.
Yeah.
The hot spring there is actually a mana recovery spot.
?
.
Someone once said, if you were to rank Koreas S-classes, it would look something like this.
S+ class included Gwang Ik Gong, Snow White.
S class include Toosin, Baridegi, Cheok Jun-kyeong, Naje.
S- class included Armored Taejo.
Want to hear something interesting? Do you know what criteria people use to classify someone as S+ class?
Performance?
Its whether one can subdue all the S-class heroes of a neighboring country. For instance, if Snow White alone can suppress all five S-class heroes of Japan.
It sounds difficult, but not entirely impossible.
Right. Thats the prestige of being S+ class.
Though all classified as S-class by the Hero Association, theres naturally a distinction within the S-class itself.
What if someone more reliable than Toosin becomes S+ class and represents Korea as a power user?
Then, Id want to announce it openly.
Baek Seol-hee tapped my cheek with her finger.
Even if we dont say who the father is, Ill announce that Baek Seol-hee has finally gotten pregnant as everyone in the nation wanted. If the world is anxious about the absence of an S+ class, wouldnt everyone feel relieved if there were an S+ class to protect the country during my maternity leave?
Who are you thinking of?
How about the person responsible for making Baek Seol-hee take maternity leave take responsibility?
Thats not possible.
Just as Baek Seol-hee rejected my recruitment offer, I couldnt accept that either.
Better to raise a few S+ classes and place them instead.
Really?
Yeah. Im already eyeing someone.
A woman?
Why do you think its a woman?
Because you wouldnt teach a man by your side.
Do you see people as some kind of accessory?
It was easier to teach women, but that didnt mean I absolutely despise teaching men.
Or should I ask Solar Platina for help? While Im pregnant and giving birth, can you protect this country?
And when Solar Platina gets pregnant, then youll step forward?
Why not take turns each year?
Look at you. No intention of stopping at one?
Planning to gather kids for a soccer team?
.
I covered Baek Seol-hees mouth with my hand.
If thats the plan, youre essentially retiring. Just give birth and thats it? The mom needs to be there with them. If both mom and dad are out on missions, who will be by their side?
.
Dont look at me like that. Im not someone who will give up my path just because I have a child. On the contrary, Ill move even more actively. If before it was for my woman, then it will be for my children.
I was already moving with that mindset, but now, with even more responsibility, Id have to give my all.
So, the answer is simple. To ensure you can raise our child with peace of mind
My conclusion was clear.
To raise someone capable of dedicating themselves to this country in your place as an S+ class. As quickly as possible.
After all, work was something that the successor did.
Its not about waiting for a new S-class to come in; its about making one.
