Chapter 13 - See Through

“……Can you learn the ‘See Through’?”

The wise man had no choice but to ask.

“Yes, the tarot cards never lie.”

With that said, Lee Jin-Seong stared at the tarot that had risen in front of him. Even so, Lee Jin-Seong still could not figure out what it was.

‘Where, how, why does it appear?’

Lee Jin-Seong is happy that he can learn the See Through. He was caught in an indelible question.

The queen of Pentacles.

This card was also a different card from the one that came out so far.

The first is Joker. The second is the sun. The third is Queen of Pentacles.

“…….”

Lee Jin-Seong was more curious about the identity of the card itself than the explanation that the card allows him to learn its functions.

Every time he hits the wall, he shows up and teaches him what to do. Unidentified tarot cards that give him great power.

“Hey, what’s that shiny thing?” “…Do you see what this is, wise man?”

Lee Jin-Seong wondered if a wise man with an open mind could find out what this was.

“Hmm…… Well, apart from the sparkle.” “Is that all?”

The wise man approached the tarot card in Lee Jin-Seong’s hand. Then he lowered his head and smelled it.

“……and it smells like a book.” “The smell of books?” “Yes, it’s like the smell of paper in the library.” “Books…… Books…….” “Don’t you know what this is?” “That’s right. I think I came back because of this, but I still don’t know what it is.” “Ho-oh…….”

The wise man stared at the radiance that he could see with his mind’s

“Can I touch it for a second?” “Are you going to look into it?” “I’d like to test it out.” “…If you think it’s dangerous, you have to get off of it right away.”

Lee Jin-Seong was wary of what would happen by this tarot card. And it was the moment the wise man touched the card.

Whoosh…!

Then the light came out of the card for an instant.

Poof!

Huge pressure burst from the card.

“……!” “…Are you all right?”

The wise man was smiling even though he was humiliated by the violent rejection.

“I peeked inside.” “What was there?” “What I saw in there was a building.” “In the card?”

When Jin-Seong asked in wonder, the wise man nodded. The wise man said he had a quick glimpse of the interior of the structure, which had numerous stairs that were oddly connected.

“There’s more to this card you’re talking about. I’ve had a lot of hallucinations, but I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

The wise man, who seemed not to forget what he saw, looked back at Lee Jin-Seong and continued.

“Are you curious, too?” “……Yes.” “If you really learn See Through, maybe it’s possible to look in here.” “…Are you sure?”

The wise man grinned.

“However, learning will be quite painful.”

An eye opener and a visionary. He who awakens his senses becomes an eye opener. And an eye opener can only be recognized as an opener if it is developed by sharpening his awakening skills.

His teacher used to say this when he was drunk.

“Stupid old man, he should’ve given the ‘See Through’ to Jin-Seong and just die.”

The wise man was able to share his See Through abilities with his team members.

Through See, he was able to fight like one body in the most urgent situation by sharing visual and auditory information about the war situation. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the hero Squad, who was centered on the silent wise man, was able to defeat the demon of greed.

However, ninety-nine per hundred were dangerous enough to go mad or die, even if they were to learn this See Through. It’s an amazing ability to learn, but it was as dangerous. Therefore, the wise man has been careful in receiving his disciples.

However, the new disciple in front of him was learning “See Through” without sympathy.

Lee Jin-Seong chose See Through to share information.

Currently, the only top-of-the-line skills available as the queen of Pentacles are See Through.’

He wanted to choose Deep Vision if he could, but for some reason, he couldn’t choose Deep Vision, a legend class ability.

But he thought it was rather a better choice.

“It is advantageous to transfer See Through to a colleague and then transcend and awaken my See Through with my mind.’

If we revive the broken See Through and awaken his mind, there will be nothing more helpful in fighting the demon than that.

“Hmm…….”

At that time, the wise man was looking at Lee Jin-Seong, forgetting that his pipe was burning to the filter.

“…Are you ready?” “Yes.” “It’s not hard to learn See Through itself. The difficulty is how to control the expanded vision and hearing. If you fail that, you will collapse and die.”

At that, Lee Jin-Seong held it and looked into the Queen of Pentacles.

[Do you want to learn See Through?]

“Yes.”

It was then.

Beep…!

[You should know how to handle Mana to learn the ‘See Through’ ability! You can’t learn this ability because you don’t know how to use Mana!]

That’s how it went. Lee Jin-Seong’s body had no way to accept Mana. However, Lee Jin-Seong did not worry about the phrase.

“…Blue God.”

Mumbling like that, the tarot window came to mind once again.

[Unnamed God supports Mana to Lee Jin-Seong according to the contract!]

Lee Jin-Seong nodded at the phrase.

Ring!

[Function, you have met the requirements to acquire See Through!]

Whoosh…….

He could hear him reading a hard disk from somewhere.

Ring…!

[You have cloned and registered See Through as Queen of Pentacles!] [The user will now be able to use the See Through capability while the queen of Pentacles is in place!]

In the phrase, Lee Jin-Seong took a deep breath.

Chirp… Chirp……!

It’s coming!

Flashing!

At that moment, Lee Jin-Seong’s vision burst out. He lost consciousness for a moment.

“……Well.”

The moment has passed.

Lee Jin-Seong was standing in a vacant lot in the flower market. It was also unclear when he came here.

And then.

“Gasp…?” Whoosh!

Lee Jin-Seong’s vision was strangely distorted and overlapped, and things all over the world began to overlap. Even the gap between the rocks and the soil under the ground overlapped.

Lee Jin-Seong felt very confused by the rapidly expanding sense. In addition, all of a sudden, the buzz began to grow louder. Thousands of people in the Yangjae Flower Market seemed to be shouting into Lee Jin-Seong’s ears.

“Agh…!”

And the partitions separating stores in the Yangjae market seemed to be overlapping and flocking in front of their eyes.

“Oh, my God…”

It was then. A big, tough hand grabbed Jin-Seong’s shoulder. Everything felt as clear as that in the midst of confusion.

However, the wise man could not talk to Lee Jin-Seong. No matter how much he yelled at Lee Jin-Seong, who is already in a state of consciousness. This was because Lee Jin-Seong was just one of the hundreds and thousands of voices he would be listening to.

Despite the terrible confusion, Lee Jin-Seong recalled what the wise man had said.

‘Focus on your consciousness.’ “Focalize the range of your senses to just one point.”

Jin-Seong closed his eyes quietly. But now that his consciousness has expanded, Lee Jin-Seong’s eyelids have never obscured the numerous images in his sight. Then he felt the wise man’s big, tough hand leaving his shoulder.

Srrrng. Then Lee Jin-Seong pulled out the long sword he was wearing on his side.

‘What I’m best at. And what I’ve done more desperately than anyone else…….’

He focused his consciousness on the cold touch of the sword handle.

There was something that could not contaminate the thunder that struck dozens of times a second in the ear or the confusion that mixed paints like abstract paintings of modern art.

It was the ‘touch’.

Lee Jin-Seong decided to build a range of perceptions based on his sense of touch.

“…….”

Keep your eyes far away, as if they were completely blind. Then carefully hold the knife handle with both hands.

Step forward and give more strength to both hands. Draw the sword over your head, and hit it.

Whoosh!

He calculates the shape of a knife by estimating the weight of the blade and the center of gravity of the sword. A well-drawn black blade draws a sparkling scene in his head.

It accurately calculates and wields the condensation point of the force on the sword. Once again, the blade is drawn diagonally and the muscles, breathing, and posture involved in the process feel everything vividly. He only focused on that.

A perfect cut. In a perfect way. A complete shift of power.

He devoted himself to the time and effort they have accumulated to perfect all of them.

“…….”

Then the world becomes calm at some point. In Lee Jin-Seong’s eyes, only the blade of silence was clearly emerging.

Whoosh!

His blade cut through the air.

One stroke.

The image of the sword. It was one of the stages that Lee Jin-Seong reached.

This is what the wise man thought at first.

‘It’ll take a month at the earliest.’

In the past, the wise man had passed on his See Through only to his carefully selected disciples. They were all highly qualified disciples, the top 1 percent of the reformers.

‘Only those guys could they understand exactly how people looked and their voices were within 10 meters in diameter in three months.’

It took as long as four days and a week at the earliest to limit the extended range of senses to oneself.

But what Lee Jin-Seong is showing us right now.

“…It’s ridiculous.”

It was a quality that couldn’t exist. Lee Jin-Seong controlled his consciousness and senses through the extremes of weapons and quickly fell into a trance. The expanded consciousness was fixed on the act of knife-wielding itself to escape from confusion.

It happened just 20 minutes after learning the See Through.

And the market sides of buildings beyond the already a stable and move the focus of sense, and optionally the point where you can listen to the voice of people.

“…Are you learning fast because you’ve been in the play once, or…….”

Lee Jin-Seong wielded his sword and other small organs to become stronger.

Lee Jin-Seong was unrivaled not only in talent but also in effort. He worked hard on training by reducing the time to sleep and eat. Thus, he applied the great situation that he had reached to this moment. In addition, Lee Jin-Seong was looking at the scenery cleanly throughout See Through without any ups and downs.

The fact that the wise man couldn’t bear to laugh in vain.

‘This kid is… No, this warrior is a genius.’

Thinking so, he watched Lee Jin-Seong, who is now sitting still and concentrating. The wise man looked back on what he had done when he first realized See Through. He soon shook his head.

‘Even I wasn’t this fast.’

The wise man thought of a week of rolling and throwing up the floor and making See Through his own. However, the wise man felt great hope rather than feeling despondent when she saw Lee Jin-Seong’s talent.

‘Well, now I understand why you became Setz disciple in the future…….’

Near this boisterous flower market, the wise man taught Lee Jin-Seong how to control his senses. And after another hour, Lee Jin-Seong was able to fully master the operating principles of See Through.

Seeing Lee Jin-Seong, who learned how to operate with just a few words of advice, the wise man began to become greedy. He desired to make a disciple of a man of outstanding qualities. But he soon changed his mind and shook his head.

‘This child has already caught the core stem of operation. There’s nothing more I can do for him.’

The wise man emphasized Lee Jin-Seong, who was meditating, for the last time.

“You have to be able to limit the scope of the world you see, hear, and feel. And under no circumstances can the capability of See Through disappear. If you remain calm, you will be able to see everything you want, where you want, under the ground, and in the midst of a fight.”

Limitation of consciousness. So, he needs to be careful not to lose concentration in any situation. Then he found his cane and prepared to leave.

“I’ll be on my way.” “Are you leaving already…”…?” “I’ve taught you everything you need. Other small things, I’m sure you’ll find your answer if you ask Setz.”

Lee Jin-Seong continued, expressing his gratitude.

“…May I ask where you live?”

An old man with an old brim hat on his head smiled broadly. When he wore a hat with a long oak cane, he looked like a wizard himself.

“Well, it’s not consistent……and I will never come back here again.”

Lee Jin-Seong rose from his seat as if nothing had happened. And he said to the wise man one more time.

“Wise man, please take good care of yourself.” “Haha, I’ll be watching you from afar.”

Lee Jin-Seong, who got up from his seat, looked up at the sky while looking at the wise man leaving the flower market. Before he knew it, the sun began to set slowly.

He told Lee Yeo-jin that he would go back before dinner, but now is not the time.

‘Let’s train a little more.’

Although he had made significant progress in dealing with See Through. He wanted to make this capability of See Through, which he had learned, completely his own.

Lee Jin-Seong went to the eerie corner of the flower market and sat on the bare floor. The floor was hard and cold asphalt, but Lee Jin-Seong sat down as if he was used to it and closed his eyes.

“By the time the sun rises tomorrow morning, I will make the See Through mine.’

Lee Jin-Seong made such a pledge and focused on his consciousness.

Numerous voices were still overlapping, and a panoramic view of the site of the Yangjae Flower Market was mixed into his head. Lee Jin-Seong worked on separating the tangled voices as if he were unraveling his own twisted strings, and the images that overlapped countless times made boundaries into another map in his head.

It was then.

Ring!

[The Unnamed God is impressed by your outstanding talent……!] [The Unnamed God rejoices in your integrity and sincerity!] [The Unnamed God……!]

“…….”

Lee Jin-Seong turned off the notification window at the unusual alarm that rang a while ago.

As such, Lee Jin-Seong sat still in his seat and entered meditation until a deep night.
