The Main Characters That Only I Know-Chapter 246:

Yu-hyun looked at Jamila and Gu Seo-yoon, who were sitting side by side across from him, and Baekryeon shouted excitedly.

[Wow. There are two faces that I saw in my previous life!]

‘Be quiet.’

From Baekryeon’s perspective, it must have been very amazing, but for Yu-hyun, it was an extremely uncomfortable situation. He would have felt better if Huang Se-eun was there.

Why did Jamila and Gu Seo-yoon, two out of the three people, have to meet?

‘How did this happen…?’

Gu Seo-yoon had clashed with Yu-hyun frequently since his previous life, but Jamila was also an awkward opponent in her own way.

She was not very talkative in the first place, but Jamila always followed Choi Do-yoon’s tail.

So they never had a conflict, but Jamila would glare at him with a sharp look or occasionally throw a word at him if he made a minor mistake.

She was also fundamentally similar to Gu Seo-yoon, who pursued only strength.

It was not a very good memory for Yu-hyun.

‘But, it’s all gone now.’

The Gu Seo-yoon in front of him now couldn’t even look at Yu-hyun properly and was frozen stiff.

Jamila was still the same as she was in her previous life, but unlike the contemptuous look she always gave him, her eyes were full of curiosity now.

Yu-hyun felt very uncomfortable.

He wished they had lived without knowing each other.

‘Gu Seo-yoon is understandable, but Jamila came here herself. Is it because of the dream I had then?’

Yu-hyun guessed why they came to see him. Because the memories of his past life had melted into the mixed world, Jamila and Gu Seo-yoon vaguely remembered him through their dreams.

‘That means Huang Se-eun, the Black Iron Knight, also has a high chance of having a dream, even though she didn’t tell me.’

Yu-hyun’s expression hardened slightly.

If they were like that, he wondered if ‘that guy’ would remember too.

It was a problem that it wouldn’t end with a simple worry.

‘Anyway, he has to wait at least four more years to return. No, since the flow of the world has changed, he might come back sooner.’

But he didn’t think he would come back right away.

It took at least two years for Benishing to be called a returnee.

Even if Choi Do-yoon’s return to Earth was shortened, it would take at least two more years.

There was no need to worry.

“First of all, why did you come here? Is it because of the dream?”

“Yes? I, I mean…”

Gu Seo-yoon looked at Jamila with a look that asked what she thought.

Jamila blurted out without hesitation.

“I saw it in a dream.”

“…!!”

Gu Seo-yoon turned to look at Jamila next to him with a shocked expression.

She was so surprised that her pupils shrank and asked Jamila if she was sane, but Jamila didn’t seem to care at all.

“If it’s a dream…”

“The dream of the destroyed world. There I was with you. And with this girl next to me.”

“I, I too! I did too!”

Gu Seo-yoon also gave up and shouted out of desperation.

Yu-hyun nodded his head as if to say ‘I see’.

His expression didn’t seem to change at all.

‘Huh? His reaction is weird?’

‘Hmm. Did we say something stupid?’

They vaguely guessed that Yu-hyun had the same dream as them.

But Seo Sumin, who had been watching this conversation from the beginning to the end from Yu-hyun’s side, was different.

‘He’s subtly trying to hide his emotions.’

Seo Sumin’s senses were far beyond those of ordinary people.

Her senses had already reached the level where she could catch even invisible things beyond cognition.

That’s why she easily noticed that Yu-hyun was hiding something from them.

She thought he had a reason to do so, so Seo Sumin stayed quiet.

She rather felt proud of herself for being considerate of Yu-hyun.

How much of a loyal heart is that?

Seo Sumin praised herself for being good at supporting him and nodded her head with her arms crossed.

“…?”

Yu-hyun was puzzled by Seo Sumin’s sudden strange noise, but that wasn’t important right now.

“Hmm. You said it was a dream, but is that the only reason you came here?”

“Yes? I, I mean…”

Gu Seo-yoon hesitated and looked at Jamila for her opinion.

Are you the same as me?

She received a curious look that seemed to expect something from her, but Jamila betrayed it nicely.

“There’s one more thing.”

“One more thing?”

“Back then, I had a dream. Yeah. The day you guys called the second phantasm shock. That’s when I had a different dream.”

“What kind of dream, then?”

“A dream about the source of my power.”

Jamila was called Arash in her hometown.

It was a nickname she got because she was very good at archery, but Jamila knew.

The story of her trait was not that of Arash, the hero.

Rather, as soon as she set foot on this Korean peninsula, Jamila was able to fill her vague thoughts with certainty.

This is it.

This is where the source of her power lies.

“So you mean the source of your trait. And you read the story of your trait through a dream.”

Jamila nodded her head.

She thought she was good at Korean, but it seemed that the influence of her trait was not good either.

“That’s why I visited this country. I had two dreams, and they were both related to the same country.”

From Jamila’s words, Yu-hyun could tell why she came to Korea in her previous life.

‘She came to Korea to find the source of her trait. That clears up one question.’

She came over much faster than in her previous life, but Yu-hyun didn’t bother to weigh that part.

“So, are you curious about what your trait is?”

“Do you know? The trait called [Seongmu Shinmu (聖文神武)].”

At Jamila’s words, Gu Seo-yoon and Seo Sumin reacted as if they had never heard of it.

Only Yu-hyun nodded his head as if he knew.

That’s because he had seen her trait so often in his previous life.

Seongmu Shinmu (聖文神武)

The exact name is Seongmu Shinmu Jeongui Gwangdeok Daewang (聖文神武正義光德大王).

The king who founded Joseon and was known to be unparalleled in archery, Taejo Yi Seong-gye.

That was the trait that Jamila possessed.

[Wow. Yi Seong-gye? Wasn’t he the king of this country? How can his trait manifest in someone from a faraway country?]

‘In a mixed world, the meaning of a country is practically meaningless. Just look at that collector whose name I don’t even remember who fought with Hye-rim. He had the trait of an Italian master.’

It was a mistake to think that Korean collectors necessarily had traits related to Korea.

When looking at the whole world, it was common for people with traits of heroes from each country to appear in other countries.

Jamila was also like that.

Yu-hyun explained to her what her trait was.

“Taejo Yi Seong-gye was a great person who was unrivaled in archery.”

“Wow, Yi Seong-gye…”

When she learned about her trait, Gu Seo-yoon looked at her with admiration.

A trait possessed by the first king of Joseon, it was almost like a protagonist-level trait.

If you put it that way, Gu Seo-yoon’s [Red Revolutionary] was also similar, but it was always the case that other people’s things looked bigger than his own.

“So, what level did you quantify in the newly revamped stat window?”

“42.”

42 wasn’t such a low number.

Rather, it was a skill that matched the mid-level collectors.

The average level of the students who entered the academy now was about 10.

In the case of A-rank students, there were cases where they exceeded 30. Gu Seo-yoon’s level was 32.

‘She’s my age, but she’s higher than me?’

Gu Seo-yoon thought there was only Seo Sumin besides him, but he felt hurt for no reason.

Jamila herself was quite wary of Seo Sumin sitting next to Yu-hyun.

‘Stronger than me. Much more.’

Seo Sumin’s exposed level was 38. But this included the part that was not revealed and not quantified.

If you actually check Seo Sumin’s level, it says 38(73).

If she shows her best power in her current state, her level is comparable to 73.

That was almost on par with the end of the mid-level collectors.

And Seo Sumin was still recovering and getting stronger.

“There’s one more thing I’m curious about.”

Jamila, who had been quiet, opened her mouth then.

She looked at Yu-hyun and asked him bluntly.

“Have we ever met before?”

Gu Seo-yoon also wanted to ask that question, so she kept her mouth shut and waited for Yu-hyun’s answer.

Seo Sumin also didn’t show it, but she perked up her ears and secretly glanced at Yu-hyun.

Yu-hyun shook his head.

“No. This is the first time I see you.”

“Hmm.”

Jamila stared at him intently, wondering if he was lying. But no matter how hard she looked, she couldn’t feel any sign of lying from Yu-hyun.

Then, it was one of two things.

Either Yu-hyun was so good at hiding his emotions that he could fool her sharp senses, or he really didn’t know.

It was rude to dig any further without any evidence.

“Is that so? I understand. Thank you for your time.”

Jamila said that and got up from her seat.

Gu Seo-yoon, who had been watching the situation, also got up from her seat following Jamila.

She had no choice but to accept it when Yu-hyun said that much. She had nothing more to ask.

Yu-hyun escorted the two of them to the front gate.

“It was nice to meet you.”

“I, me too.”

“…Yeah.”

The two of them left with a light greeting after receiving Yu-hyun’s farewell.

Yu-hyun looked at the backs of Gu Seo-yoon and Jamila, who were moving together, with a sunken gaze.

Seo Sumin approached Yu-hyun’s side.

“You’ll get a hole in the back of your head if you keep staring like that.”

“…Did you notice?”

“How could I not? It was so obvious.”

Seo Sumin, who no longer needed to be careful, returned to her usual tone of speech.

She only said that much and did not ask Yu-hyun why he was like that. It was Seo Sumin’s own consideration.

“I won’t ask what’s going on. Rather, you still have some time left. Let’s start your self-training today. You seem to have become much stronger than before after spending three days in the Mental Realm, but how much have you completed the energy of the Seven Demon Black Sky Divine Skill?”

“Oh, I was going to tell you that right away.”

Yu-hyun smiled faintly.

“100%. I’ve mastered it all.”

***

“Hey… You said your name was Jamila, right?”

“…Yeah.”

The two who had been moving together soon realized that it was time to part.

Gu Seo-yoon felt strangely sorry and spoke to Jamila.

“I heard you came back from living abroad. Do you have a place to stay?”

“No.”

“Huh, what?”

“I don’t have a place to stay.”

“Then, what about money?”

“I spent it all on coming here.”

“Gosh.”

Gu Seo-yoon couldn’t believe what Jamila was saying.

“Wa, wait a minute. Then where are you going to sleep?”

“I can sleep anywhere if it’s decent. I did that in my hometown too.”

Sleeping in a shrimp position on a battlefield where sandstorms were raging was too natural for Jamila.

Compared to that place, Korea was a peaceful and good place to live.

The air was humid, but she could bear it.

“Then do you want to stay at my house? We have a lot of empty rooms.”

Gu Seo-yoon owned several houses under her own name.

Lending one house to Jamila was nothing to her.

She wouldn’t have made such an offer if she was a complete stranger, but strangely enough, she felt a sense of kinship with Jamila as if they had been friends for a long time.

“Hmm.”

Jamila hesitated slightly.

She would have refused such an offer right away if it was normal, but she also felt a certain kinship with Gu Seo-yoon.

More than anything, Jamila also needed a place to stay for a long time where she could at least sleep well.

“…Let’s do that then.”

“Good. Then let’s go to my house first.”

Gu Seo-yoon grabbed Jamila’s hand and dragged her along. Jamila didn’t bother to resist either.

***

The next morning, early in the morning.

Yu-hyun stopped by the hospital affiliated with the academy and visited Kang Yura’s ward.

“Oh, oppa. Come on in.”

“Yeah. Yura, are you feeling okay?”

“Yeah. Hehe. Well, I’ve been fine for a while, but the doctor said he had to watch me for a few more days because he wanted to see how I was doing. But I’m getting discharged the day after tomorrow.”

Yu-hyun smiled at Kang Yura’s bright appearance.

“That’s good. You’re safe. Be careful from now on. I was so surprised when I heard you got hurt.”

“Sorry.”

“Don’t be sorry. It wasn’t your fault. After all, you got hurt instead of saving someone else.”

He was angry at first, but that was anger at the person who made Kang Yura like that, not at her.

He had taken care of Park Moon-chul, and seeing Yura’s healthy appearance made him feel relieved.

“Work hard. Don’t make your parents worry.”

“I know. Do you think I’m some kind of kid?”

“You are a kid.”

“Is that so?”

“From what you’re saying, it seems like you’ve gotten better than before. I’ve confirmed that you’re fine, so I’ll go now.”

“Hey, what? You’re leaving already? Stay a little longer. I’m bored.”

“I just came to check on you. I’m a busy person, you know.”

“Sure, sure. As if you’re even human.”

“Just play along, will you?”

“Heh heh.”

Yu-hyun casually glanced at Kang Yura’s book.

The cover was bright silver, and the light that flowed from it was even brighter.

It had become brighter than the last time he saw it. It meant that her potential for growth was still open.

It wasn’t gold yet, but maybe someday she would reach that level.

The level that he had failed to reach in the past, the unknown realm.

“See you next time.”

“Yeah. I’ll come visit when I have some free time.”

Yu-hyun parted ways with Yura and wandered around the academy grounds.

Suddenly, he felt someone’s gaze on him.

‘A gaze? Who is it?’

The academy grounds were so vast that there were many people who worked here besides the students.

Yu-hyun pretended not to notice and sat down on a nearby bench.

His senses lightly scanned the surroundings.

There were some people fixing a broken streetlight far away from the bench.

There were three of them.

The youngest one, a man, was pretending not to look at Yu-hyun while sneaking glances at him.

It was different from the gaze of someone who recognized him and wanted his attention.

It was more sticky and suspicious, as if he was wary of him.

Yu-hyun’s eyes moved to the book floating above the man’s head.

‘What is that?’

The book that the man had was nothing but a common brown cover.

But the light that came from it was the opposite.

It was faint, but it had a brilliant gold color with a hint of rainbow.

There was no doubt that it contained potential within it.

But then.

‘He has… two books?’

Who is that guy, and what is his identity?
