Chapter 567: Night of Potential (3)
“Min Ah, should we go down?”
Kim Min Ah who heard Bae Puh Rum's question was staring at Cale with a piercing gaze before she responded .
“Of course we are going down, how can we not?”
Bae Puh Rum nodded his head while looking south with a concerned gaze .
“Damn it . I hate snakes . ”
“…The problem is that it is a snake-headed human . ”
“Exactly . ”
This monster that had the head of a snake but the body of a giant that could be seen in mythologies was approaching them .
Kim Min Ah looked at the other monster next to it while calmly speaking .
“…And the other has a head of a bird but the body of a snake . ”
The two monsters were slowly approaching . They seemed to be enjoying a nice walk .
Bae Puh Rum pulled at his hair as he continued to speak .
“…What the hell do they want? Why did these monsters appear?”
“It just means it’s a terrible crisis . ”
“Exactly! I'm scared of reptiles…”
“But isn't it doable since they’re both just half and half?”
“…Min Ah . ”
Kim Min Ah looked away from Bae Puh Rum who sounded as if he wanted to cry .
She knew Bae Puh Rum was a punk who acted this way on purpose .
“Anyway, let’s go do-”
Kim Min Ah flinched as she was about to say that they should go down .
“What’s taking you so long?”
Cale was gently stepping on the ledge and walked onto the roof .
Swoooooooosh-
A light breeze was surrounding him like a whirlwind .
"Are you not coming down?”
Cale sounded as if he was saying they were walking to the convenience store just outside or something .
Park Jin Tae walked forward at that moment .
“Hey, Kim Rok Soo!”
Cale turned toward Park Jin Tae .
"I want to go next . ”
“…I guess you're getting antsy?”
“Yeah . ”
Park Jin Tae had his gun in his hand and looked extremely heated to fight .
“No . ”
“What?”
However, Cale sternly shook his head .
“This monster matches well with the Kim Min Ah-Bae Puh Rum pairing . ”
“…Them?”
Park Jin Tae started to frown .
“How can these children be useful? It’s better for me to go first . ”
Cale reinterpreted Park Jin Tae's words .
“Are you saying children should stay back because it is dangerous while adults like you should fight, Mr . Park Jin Tae?”
“…What are you talking about?’
Park Jin Tae instantly started to frown and looked away from Cale .
Park Jin Tae then heard Kim Min Ah's voice .
“Hey mister, I'm stronger than you . ”
“What?”
Park Jin Tae looked toward Kim Min Ah .
Kim Min Ah took out a hair tie and tied her straight hair into a ponytail as she continued to speak .
“I saw you fighting earlier, mister . I'm better than you . ”
Bae Puh Rum scratched his head and walked in between Park Jin Tae and Kim Min Ah .
“Ahem, umm, hyung-nim? Min Ah, Min Joon-hyung, and I have survived with just the three of us . That should be all I need to say, right?”
Park Jin Tae started to smile after seeing Bae Puh Rum speak awkwardly but confidently .
“You pretended to be a fool on purpose . ”
Bae Puh Rum awkwardly smiled in response . Kim Min Ah smacked Bae Puh Rum's back .
“Let’s go down . ”
“You're going down together . ”
Kim Min Ah looked to one side .
Choi Han had put his hand on the decently healed Kim Min Joon's shoulder .
“I took care of the urgent parts . We can check on him later to make sure . ”
Grandma Kim removed her hand from Kim Min Joon’s injury with a tired face .
Kim Min Ah's eyes opened wide .
The infected wound that had been covered in pus and blood still had left a scar, but it looked much better .
Her healing ability was shocking .
This was the reason Park Jin Tae and the others all listened to Grandma Kim even as they expanded their level of influence in the central shelter .
“Thank you, grandma . ”
“No need to thank me . ”
Grandma Kim shook her head at Cale and reached her hand out toward him .
“I'm okay . ”
Cale took a step back .
“…You too-”
“It’s just a bruise . ”
“On the corner of your mouth-”
“That is an internal injury . ”
“……Okay . ”
Cale nonchalantly wiped away the dried blood by his mouth .
Grandma Kim looked at him with a concerned expression before stepping back .
“Grandma . ”
“Thank you, Jin Joo . Seung Won . ”
Lee Jin Joo and Lee Seung Won helped to support Grandma Kim .
Cale approached the siblings .
“Hey, Seung Won . ”
“Huh?”
“You come down too . ”
“Me?”
“Yeah . ”
Cale then looked toward Kim Min Joon .
“Mr . Kim Min Joon?”
“…Yes?”
He had heard about most of the situation while Bae Puh Rum carried him over . He had seen Kim Rok Soo take care of two Grade 1 monsters in less than thirty minutes while he was being healed .
“You’re able to use your ability, correct?”
Bae Puh Rum stepped forward after hearing Cale's question .
“Excuse me . Hyung-nim should probably-”
But Kim Min Ah grabbed his arm . Bae Puh Rum could see the cold look in Kim Min Ah's face .
She calmly started to speak .
“Oppa’s ability is not related to the injury at all . Also…”
She looked around the roof .
She could see the two approaching monsters and everybody looking at them .
“I don’t think it makes sense to try to get some rest in this situation . ”
Kim Min Ah and Kim Min Joon made eye contact .
Kim Min Joon started to speak .

“That’s right . It’s an urgent situation . ”
Park Jin Tae looked toward Kim Min Joon .
‘A military uniform . ’
Although the clothes were a mess, he could tell it was a uniform . Even his shoes were military boots .
Kim Min Joon reached his hand out toward Choi Han .
Kim Min Joon had seen Choi Han’s sword art that had destroyed the Grade 3 monsters while on the other building with Kim Min Ah and Bae Puh Rum .
“Can you please help me?”
“Of course . ”
Choi Han put Kim Min Joon on his back .
Cale looked toward Kim Min Joon and Lee Seung Won while starting to speak .
“Mr . Kim Min Joon and Mr . Lee Seung Won will move together during this battle . ”
Cale continued to speak as Kim Min Joon looked toward Lee Seung Won .
“Lee Seung Won’s ability is recording…”
Kim Min Joon’s eyes clouded over at that moment .
“…And Mr . Kim Min Joon's ability is message . ”
Cale pointed to his neck .
“Voice delivery . ”
Lee Seung Won and Lee Jin Joo looked toward Kim Min Joon .
Cale quietly watched the three people looking at each other before turning around .
Boom!
The snake-headed giant's club struck down on the ground .
The two monsters that were slowly approaching had gotten close .
The two monsters stepped on the burnt corpses of the monsters from earlier .
Crack .
The corpses of the two monsters they had feared until now crumbled and turned into ashes .
People gulped while watching that before looking toward Cale .
Cale then patted someone's shoulder as he walked back to the ledge .
“Please come down and wait with Lee Chul Min . You are up next . ”
Swoooooooosh-
He then headed down while being surrounded by the wind once again .
Bae Puh Rum followed behind him while carrying Kim Min Ah .
“…Lee Chul Min!”
“Yes, leader-nim!”
“Follow me!”
Lee Chul Min hesitated after hearing Park Jin Tae's order but followed behind him as if he had no choice .
Of course, Choi Han, Kim Min Joon, and Lee Seung Won were already going down the stairs .
Cale, Bae Puh Rum, and Kim Min Ah were already on the ground .
Gulp .
Bae Puh Rum became tense as soon as he saw the snake-headed monster and the snake-bodied monster getting closer .
‘They really are different . ’
Unlike when he faced off against other monsters, just looking at these monsters made him fearful .
‘Can I win against that?’
Bae Puh Rum quickly started to think . He then looked toward Cale .
‘Mm!’
He made eye contact with Cale who was looking at him .
Pfft .
Cale chuckled while looking at Bae Puh Rum .
Cale was having this thought while looking at Bae Puh Rum .
‘It’s interesting seeing him this naive too . ’

Bae Puh Rum .
He was a government worker in the newly created Korean Seoul Central Shelter ‘Ga’ Precinct .
Cale recalled what Kim Min Ah had told him in the past .
‘Bae Puh Rum? He's on paternity leave right now . ’
Unlike the past where mayors and aldermen were elected, a new system of government officials was created after the cataclysms with the central shelters at the core .
Each precinct appointed a leader who was in charge of the administration .
Each leader of the central shelter was called the ‘Precinct Leader . ’
“Umm, what do you want me to do?”
Cale put his hand on Bae Puh Rum who was cautiously asking him a question .
‘They said he’d be at the Precinct Leader level in ten years . ’
Cale remembered that Bae Puh Rum was in charge of the Seoul Central Shelter ‘Ga’ Precinct's region defense as a section chief .
“…Something about bringing in the wind . ”
“Excuse me?”
People had said that Bae Puh Rum controlled the wind as he moved .
“Bae Puh Rum . ”
“Yes?”
“You use the wind to fly in the sky, right?”
Bae Puh Rum flinched at Cale’s question before awkwardly responding .
“Yes?”
“Have you not thought about using the wind in a different way?”
“I did, but it didn’t work too well . Haha . ”
Pat . Pat .
Cale patted Bae Puh Rum's shoulder .
“Then watch what I do and try to do the same thing . ”
“Excuse me?”
Bae Puh Rum asked back, but Cale didn’t pay him any attention .
Instead, he turned toward Kim Min Ah .
Kim Min Ah was observing the Grade 1 monsters with a sharp gaze . She seemed to be inspecting them .
Cale stood next to her as he started to speak .
“Use your ability to its maximum level . ”
Kim Min Ah's shoulders started to shake .
She was still looking at the monsters as she started to speak .
“…But I can’t control it . ”
The corners of Cale’s lips started to go up .
Kim Min Ah could not control her ability at this time .
She didn't know how to use it properly either .
That was why she could not fend off a single monster properly .
There was a requirement to be in charge of an attack team in the vanguard at the company where Kim Rok Soo was a team leader .
A Grade 1 Ability user specialized in attacking .
Kim Min Ah easily met that requirement .
Cale quietly continued to speak to her .
“I will control it for you . ”
Kim Min Ah looked toward Cale .
Cale looked into her shaking pupils and continued to speak .
“All you need to do is use your ability as much as you want . ”
Her shaking pupils calmed down .
Kim Min Ah quietly nodded her head .
“I'll give it a try . ”
It was at that moment .

"W, what?”
Lee Chul Min’s eyes opened wide as he was about to walk out of the building through a window on the second floor .
He was looking at Kim Min Ah .
Boom!
The ground shook at that moment .
It was not because of the monsters’ footsteps .
A huge half-transparent spear had struck down on the ground .
There was a person holding onto that spear .
It was Kim Min Ah .
She was easily grabbing this spear that was three-times her height .
"Who is she?”
Lee Chul Min gasped in astonishment .
However, he couldn't say anything after seeing what happened next .
All he could do was stand there with his jaw dropped .
“…Crazy bastard . ”
Park Jin Tae couldn’t help but swear .
Kim Min Ah looked to her side .
Her pupils started to shake .
“Just-”
Kim Min Ah couldn’t help but ask .
“Just who are you?”
She could see Cale in front of her .
Boom!
Another large spear struck down on the ground and caused the dust to rise .
Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Water was swirling to create a large spear .
The spear was pointing its sharp blade toward the sky as if it was going to pierce the sky .
A portion of the Sky Eating Water's power was being activated in Cale’s hand .
‘It really is weak . ’
Cale could once again feel that only a portion of the ancient powers had been absorbed by his soul .
But he was not disappointed that it was weaker than usual .
The method the ancient powers gave him to make them stronger…
‘Gobble up our existences . Each time one of these voices disappears… You'll become stronger . ’
Cale had rejected that method .
That was why he could feel the wills of the owners of the ancient powers and he could always be with them .
‘I'm sure they’ll throw a fit when I go back . ’
Cale thought about how the Super Rock and the other owners of the ancient powers would be concerned about him once he returned to his original world .
Pfft .
Cale chuckled as he grabbed the spear .
Chhhhhhh-
The water covered his hand and then pointed at the enemies instead of the sky .
Kim Min Ah was blankly staring at him .
She made eye contact with Cale at that moment .
“Follow me . ”
Cale kicked off the ground and said one more thing .
"This is attribute tutoring, so watch carefully and do what I do . ”
This was the second lesson .
