30 Years after Reincarnation, it turns out to be a Romance Fantasy Novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61

Status Chang couldn’t hide his astonishment as he checked Lee Han’s ridiculous abilities. No unlike Derek Lee Han faced him more calmly than expected.

‘I thought we might meet soon…’

Lee Han was not very surprised by the sudden appearance of the status window.

He honestly thought that we would meet at some point sooner or later.

And as predicted he met Sang Tae-chang and the emotions Lee Han felt…

‘The character is really strong…’

The returnee was like the typical youngest son of the Grand Duke of the North…

Just as the possessed female lead in the drama also has a typical secret of birth and special talents…

The main characters he met each had an atmosphere suited to their roles.

However in the case of a status window that does not know whether it is a past life or possession…

‘He’s a depressed guy…’

Isn’t he a guy full of depression?

I think this is also a fresh character.

‘He’s a very shy guy…’

It must be difficult to deal with other people…

As evidence…

“That’s me over there…”

When I talk to him first he gets embarrassed and is busy buffering.

Typical loner outsider style

If it were like others it would be frustrating or lead to various misunderstandings but…

‘It’s not like I’m going through one or two of these guys…’

I thought so…

In his previous life as a professional soldier he spent 10 years and the number of social misfits he encountered alone would exceed a thousand.

Aren’t 1000 people an exaggeration?

I wish he was joking too

‘I’d rather be quiet about this type of person. These idiots with shitty beliefs and trivial politics are truly terrible…’

So Lee Han remained silent and waited for him to speak.

Although the loner type may be slow to speak they will respond faithfully if you wait without getting angry or raising their voice.

Sure enough as if he were repaying Lee Han’s trust…

“Did you know that I approached you on purpose?”

“It’s hard not to know…”

“···I really came here secretly·”

“The steps are quiet but you can’t even feel them…”

“…But still you know…”

“I have a keen sense…”

“It sure seems like that…”

“Hmm…”

“!”

When Lee Han gave him a meaningful look the guy flinched in surprise like a squirrel caught stealing his food.

A penetrating gaze as if to say ‘I know what you did.’

And as predicted…

‘This guy must have seen my status window right?’

Lee Han had already roughly predicted what the status window was doing.

So…

“So was the observation fun?”

“!!?”

“Please don’t do that next time. I think it would be rude to do that when we first meet.”

“That’s it…”

“The answer is…”

“···I’m sorry for my sin·”

“They accept it because I apologize honestly.”

“····”

“I’ll give you a towel so wipe off your sweat.”

“····”

Every time he spoke the status window twitched and Lee Han couldn’t help but giggle.

We haven’t even had a proper conversation yet but seeing as he apologized properly and his reaction was sincere…

‘I don’t think he’s a bad guy…’

Clap·

Lee Han said he didn’t think there would be any need to pull out his eyes and put a knife in his arms that he didn’t know he had taken out before he knew it.

‘-Have you figured out my skills now?!’

Derek was in a state of shock…

My heart flutters with surprise that for the first time someone else has noticed that I am using a skill.

But Derek thought the other person might not know what exactly he saw…

‘Your opponent’s characteristics did not include <player> characteristics… So that means they are residents of this world… So they probably don’t know about the existence of <status>…’

Today why did Derek approach Lee Han like a gambler using a status skill that can only be used once every three months?

The existence of another player that I always secretly suspected…

It was approached to confirm this.

If there is a <Player> item in the other person’s characteristic box as a status skill this is proof that he or she is from the same country…

So he needed to throw a gamble ·

I didn’t know what kind of variable the presence of another player would be and if he was a villain it would be a big problem…

After checking with such resolve fortunately there is no word ‘player’ in Lee Han’s characteristic box.

This is proof that he is not a player but a resident of this world!

For Derek he felt both regretful and happy at the same time.

Because he’s the only player at least not yet…

but·

‘Did you get caught?!’

The sharp gaze that comes as soon as you feel relieved…

It was so meaningful that I felt a hint of his skill…!

It was natural for my stomach to feel cold…

‘Oh no I wasn’t completely caught…’

However as I calmed down a little I thought that he might have sensed something strange in his gaze through his [sixth sense of a wild beast] or his [effortful intuition].

With characteristics of that level there is a risk of noticing the strangeness of his skills…

So it is unlikely that the skill itself was discovered…

‘I… it was really dangerous…’

Still it was clear that it was a dangerous situation.

If this person had attacked immediately after sensing a sense of strangeness he would have been ‘killed’ without any choice.

With his specs he doesn’t have the talent to take on a Lv·7 warrior…

‘I don’t think he’s as violent as I imagined…’

Derek thought that this person might be more cold-hearted and rational than he thought.

Even though he must have felt the foreign energy he was able to see it without any discomfort but what impressed me more than anything was…

‘You are considerate of me…’

He was bullied and called a stutterer and a mute.

He is said to have been born with slurred speech slow speech and an odd personality so others often raise their voices or get angry at him.

For Derek it was a past full of injustice and there were many moments when he wondered how grateful he would be if only he were given the opportunity to talk about it more slowly and step by step.

And so far in Derek’s life there have been only two people who listened to his story and waited for him to the end.

One of them was Karin who is giving a wonderful speech in the center of the debate hall and the other was…

‘The name and the atmosphere are very similar…’

A person like the teacher I met during my two years of military service which I thought would be hellish.

‘I think I look a bit like the platoon leader…’

Platoon leader·

It seemed a bit like ‘Sergeant Lee Han’…

···Has the platoon leader been reincarnated?

“···under·”

‘Is that possible?’

Derek shook his head saying that the possibility of meeting a dead acquaintance reincarnated in another world was ridiculous.

Rather if you meet a regressor or a possessed person you met him again. Can there be such a cliché?

Derek denied it saying it was a truly absurd imagination.

So now…

‘I should just consider myself lucky that I met a good person…’

Derek slowly opened his mouth to the third ‘good person’ he met.

* * *

“I’m Derek. I’m a first-year student in the history department.”

···Funny enough Sang Tae-chang said that Tae-jang had just revealed his name and affiliation and Lee Han had a sad expression on his face…

“You reveal it so quickly…”

“I’m sorry…”

“It’s okay to apologize. Rather I belong to the history department. Hmm I guess history departments teach speculation techniques these days right?”

“!!?”

“That’s a fairly high-level speculation technique and you’re learning something that only high-ranking nobles can master.”

“····”

“What is your last name?”

“···sorry·”

“You mean I can’t reveal it… He’s becoming more and more suspicious…”

“Umm…!”

Tae-chang swallowed his sleep and looked depressed once again.

I understand that the fact that there is a lot of information that cannot be disclosed is a way to instill distrust in the other party.

Embarrassment and nervousness are clearly visible…

It looks like he’s worried that he may have hurt his feelings…

of course·

‘It doesn’t look like a damn thing does it?’

Lee Han was already convinced that this guy was the second prince who had only been rumored.

High-ranking speculation law is also a speculation law but it has a similar atmosphere to your sister.

A unique atmosphere unique to the Pendragon royal family.

That’s why Lee Han was sure that he was a royal but he decided to deliberately pretend not to know Tae Chang’s identity for now.

In order not to show that I know anything more…

Some people may argue that more information can be obtained by pressing but…

‘Rather than forcing a guy like this to go out it would be better for him to extract information naturally…’

Lee Han is an experienced person who has obtained information from countless military leaders.

There are methods such as torture and intimidation but there are those who will work and those who will not work.

In that sense the status window was extremely latter.

‘He’s the type of person who will naturally spit out information while talking.’

It’s simple because it’s naive and if you let down your guard it’ll spit it all out on its own.

So what he has to do now is…

“Cadet Derek…”

“Yes yes?”

“For now let’s put Cadet Derek’s suspiciousness aside for a moment…”

“!?!?”

“But even Cadet Derek knows how suspicious of a person he is.”

“That…”

“I understand that he approached me with a purpose. Since I did not feel any hostility or murderous intent the instructor was not threatening Cadet Derek but it was clear that he felt suspicious.”

“····”

“That’s why I’m proposing it but I think it would be better to continue the conversation in a Q&A format.”

“…If this is one question and answer…?”

“If we have any questions let’s take turns asking each other. Let’s do it first.”

“That is…”

“I will make sure not to rush it.”

“····”

···For a moment there was a feeling of silence···

It was a sudden offer but Sang Tae-chang seemed to take it seriously.

Well I guess it would be nice…

I don’t know Lee Han’s intention but he took the opportunity to obtain information.

I was able to achieve my goal only thanks to Lee Han’s consideration so you might wonder what kind of cake this is…

For about 3 minutes Lee Han waited calmly.

Suddenly this guy…

Taaak·

“[Silence]·”

Hwaak·

“…Hoo…you have an amazing talent…”

For a moment all sound was blocked and their presence became faint.

When I glanced at the maid Gomsun and chick number 2 I noticed that they were not paying any attention to them and were just concentrating on the discussion meeting.

It looks like he was completely immersed in the speech of a girl with a strong presence named Karin.

The guy opened his mouth…

“It’s hard to say that this is repayment for my apology but I have revealed the abilities I have… I thought it would be good to gain some credibility through this…”

“It’s an interesting ability. Did you say silence?”

“···Did you hear that?”

“It sounded good…”

“···It’s a good ability for two people to talk secretly·”

“It’s okay…”

Wow I can’t help but envy that Sangtae Chang guy…

This is definitely a ‘skill’

One of the talents he so desperately wanted to have when he remembered his past life ·

Lee Han gritted his teeth and pretended not to notice but swallowed his bitterness.

I was envious of the thought that if only I had this ability my life would be better than it is now.

The time when Lee Han briefly remembered the past as if he was reminiscing…

“Are you from the temple by any chance?”

“···hmm·”

Finally a question came and I suddenly felt like it was a question that gave me a sense of déjà vu.

‘Is it a temple again?’

It’s consistent with the situation that the returner’s subordinate threw at him in the past so Won…

Lee Han organized his thoughts with deep eyes.

‘There is definitely something in the temple both on the returner’s side and the status window…’

Lee Han shook his head as he came to that conclusion.

“At least I am not related to the temple…”

“Is that so…”

“Why did you ask this question if you were going to be suspicious?”

“···Still the instructor doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would tell lies· So I will try my best to trust you·”

“It was an answer I liked Cadet Derek. In return I allow you to ask one more question.”

“Then may I ask what your relationship is with Irene Windler?”

“····”

-I took the bait·

As the conversation continued as naturally as I thought the big fish didn’t bite.

Lee Han did not show any signs of happiness and looked as confused as possible.

“You mean Cadet Irene Windler? Why are you suddenly questioning her relationship with her?”

“Let’s start with the answer…”

“Hmm that’s good… The relationship between Cadet Irene Windler and this instructor can be defined as the relationship between a cadet and an instructor…”

“····”

“But if I were to give you an additional answer I’m also your next-door neighbor…”

“Neighbor cousin…?”

“Literally everything · She lives right next to her cabin where I live ·”

“···Really me?”

“What benefit do I have by lying? I’m still spewing out only the truth.”

“Well other than that…”

“An acquaintance… I guess this is the clearest definition of my relationship with her…”

“····”

“Now then let me ask you the opposite question: Why are you curious about your relationship with Cadet Irene? “Do you have any animosity towards Cadet Irene?”

“It’s not like that but…”

“but?”

“Keueuung…”

Although he hesitated to answer with a groan Sang Sang-chang was conscientious.

He is a guy who answers as much as he continues to show the virtue of giving in.

He slowly…

“This may be a strange thing to say but the Irene Windler I knew was not that kind of person.”

“What exactly is a person like that?”

“She does it she does it. She doesn’t smile brightly or feel as bright as a girl her age.”

“then?”

As soon as I ask as if nudging me…

“A dark hand that is vicious and evil jealous of others and trying to take over the academy with the power of family and magic…”
