Chapter 74



Cardable instruments are usually made with psychic energy.

Rarely, there is a chance to win an instrument item card in an Other-world.

However, if it was from an Other-world, there would be a mention in the title or the description of where it came from or the superior being that influenced the item.

That makes the instrument that Lenna Lee received from Jae-in Kwon a psychic-made violin.

‘I need to compare this.’

I opened the item window to check the information of “Destiny of Anonymity.”

<View item information.>

[Item name] Destiny of Anonymity

[Format] weapon

[Rarity] N ~ EX

[Proficiency] 0%

[Effect] undecided

[Description]

A weapon that changes the quality of rareness and performance based on the experiences, expectations, ideas, goals, and beliefs of the holder.

Only those who have the power of destiny can use it.

‘The format is different from the psychic violin, and the range of change in rarity is smaller. Technically, it’s more like a downgrade version…… but the descriptions are so similar. This violin seems to have copied the ‘destiny of anonymity.’

Maybe I could get a clue to this weapon in a place that I never expected.

‘I’d like to get information from the violin craftsman.’

There is only one skilled psychic-made violin craftsman now.

As so many people demand violins, he is a craftsman who lives in hiding.

‘There’s probably a way to contact him……’

I was worried about what strategy to use to get that information.

Meanwhile, my classmates who were taking a look at the psychic-made violin card chattered excitedly.

“I want to see it substantialized……!”

“Me too! Lenna, please!”

Lenna hesitated a little but nodded at Yuri and Se-eum’s request.

“Oh gosh, I’m so nervous……”

When Lenna took the card in her hand and injected psychic waves, the card turned into a golden-colored violin.

The violin’s chinrest, tailpiece, pegs, and fingerboard were black but the rest of its body was golden.

It was a masterpiece with a unique hue that looked like Platinum depending on the angle of the light.

“Pretty……!”

“That’s so cool! I wonder what it sounds like!”

Lenna, unable to take her eyes off the violin, eventually opened her mouth.

“I can’t do Arco because I don’t have a bow now, but······ pizzicato is possible, you wanna listen?”

“You mean playing it with your fingers? Like senior Jae-in Kwon did at her first piece!”

“I want to hear that!”

“Me too.”

With Yuri’s and Se-eum’s enthusiastic request and a few of my added words, Irena held the violin in her arms and began to move her hands on the strings.

There was no one else but us in the outdoor lounge on the freshmen walking trail.

The only lights were a street lamp and the moon.

The three of us were amazed, watching Lenna carefully pluck the strings with her eyes closed.

‘She’s playing the new song Jae-in performed today.  She just memorized the whole thing and figured out the chords by listening to it once.’

Compared to Jae-in Kwon’s perfect technique, Lenna’s performance was very poor, but her scales were accurate.

Lenna, who played all of the pizzicato parts in Jae-in’s new song, withdrew from the strings with a bashful expression.

Clap clap clap-!

The three audience gave her a round of applause at the same time.

“That was awesome! How did you remember all of it?”

“That song was first released only hours ago.  You’re amazing……!”

“I think your rhythm and timing were all correct, too. I want to hear you play with a bow next time.”

Lenna blushed and said ‘Thank you’ and hugged her psychic-made violin.

Then we chatted until Yuri’s curfew was near.

Six words left by Biryung Na.

Craftsmen who produce items similar to the Destiny of Anonymity.

I had a lot to think about, but I wanted to enjoy the heat of the concert today.

I decided to postpone any deep-thinking to tomorrow and had a dreamless sleep, as usual.

*    *    *

Midnight, main gate of Eun-kwang High School.

The lighted Eun-kwang clock tower seen over the main gate.

In front of that stood Je-gun Yong, who seemed to be in a excessively good mood.

When Je-gun spotted a person walking towards him through the main gate, he proceeded to talk.

“Hello To-yoon, I came here to get you. Where’s Toyeon?”

The best warrior of the Rabbit clan, To-yoon Ok, arrived at the school sharply on time.

She became anxious and wanted to turn back when she saw Je-gun Yong’s immoderate excitement.

Nothing good has ever happened when that Dragon made that face.

If Toyeon Ok had come here and saw his face, she would’ve started whining about going home.

‘…… I’m here as a representative of the Rabbit clan, so I have to do my job.’

To-yoon had a similar idea to Toyeon, but made a straight face and replied in a businesslike manner.

“It’s been a long time, Je-gun. To-yeon can’t come inside Eun-kwang Gu until mid-June.”

“Why? ……Oh, she must’ve hit Golden Tiger’s nerves.”

“Dragon of space, you still got sixth sense.”

“Not exactly a sense, it’s experience-based reasoning. Oh well, I wanted to see her Moon Palace Map in person.”

Je-gun politely extended his hand to To-yoon.

“It’s a bit far from the front gate to the Eun-hui building, and I don’t want us to be noticed. Lend me your hand.”

“Yeah. I’ll leave it to you, then.”

When To-yoon put her hand on Je-gun, who hid their trace with spacial psychic skill, they began to walk toward the building.

Whoosh-.

They said “walking”, but the landscape around them changed in an instant every time Je-gun moved a step.

To-yoon inferred that he was using his physical abilities and spatial controlling abilities, but thought it to be impossible to imitate his movements, even if she knew the principle.

‘I can’t believe this state is after the teacher’s contract with Golden Tiger……! I guess the one born from the Dragon god’s most treasured Yeouiju(cintamani) is built different.’

What would happen if she fought Je-gun now?

To-yoon will be defeated if he is in perfect condition.

To-yoon, who still has the aftereffects of her injury on April Fool’s Day, and Je-gun, whose power is limited on school grounds.

The outcome of the confrontation of the two was difficult to predict.

‘I’m curious, though.’

Je-gun felt To-yoon’s grasp strengthen and turned to her and smiled.

“To-yoon, I’d like to battle with you, anytime. If you lose, you’ll have to at least give me a tour of the Rabbit clan’s base.”

“I can’t, the Dragon clan and us don’t have any connections.”

“So you do want to battle me.”

Thwat!

Offended at Je-gun’s words that seemed to read her mind, To-yoon roughly let go of his hand.

They’ve arrived at Eun-hui building in the nick of time, so To-yoon thankfully didn’t become lost.

They entered the parlor after security check.

The parlor was noisy.

“If you had a ticket, you should have said it before. You made us nervous! We were panicking because of you!”

“Wasn’t our schedule supposed to end now? Why did we have to follow you here?”

“Personally, I want to meditate and replay the performance of Jae-in Kwon in my head. I hope to get off work soon.”

“Hear, hear! We now have human identities, so please adhere to the standard working hours set by human beings, Golden Tiger, sir!”

There were four Original clan members inside.

According to the conversation, they all seemed to be Tiger clan.

‘The standard working hours set by humans? Even humans break that rule frequently.’

To-yoon went into the parlor thinking so, but the Four Tiger clan just glanced at her once, and there was no other response.

They began to grumble again at Golden Tiger, who seemed to be rebuilding the barrier.

Golden Tiger looked irritated, but he was leaving the four loud mouths alone.

‘He’s actually putting up with them. Are they his favorites?’

Just then, through the hallway, To-yoon sensed a few human beings coming toward the parlor.

The four Tiger clan stopped their grumbling and stared at the door.

‘What’s wrong?

Is the human being approaching now dangerous?’

To-yoon held her battle stance and watched the door carefully.

When the automatic door opened, a blonde foreign man and a blue-eyed Korean woman appeared.

The four Tiger clam rushed forward or collapsed on the spot, squealing.

“I couldn’t believe it, but it really is Jae-in Kwon……”

“Oh my god……! I thought she was a violin genius, but her looks are genius too!”

“I, I’m a huge fan! During my school years, I went to every single one of your recitals.”

“Me too! Especially in the first grade, when you played a requiem to soothe the soul that lost his mate in Chung-Lyang Lake, I still have the video and watch it whenever I have time.”

“……Hey, when I asked you for a copy of that, you said you lost it!”

“You didn’t show me the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum concert Blu-ray limited edition last time, either!”

The ones who treated the Dragon clan and the Rabbit clan members like nobodies were perfectly ruining themselves because of a human being.

And for some unknown reason, these four gave deathly glares to one another.

The tense situation continued, but a cold voice ended that.

“Shut up before I kick you all out.”

They all shut their mouths at Golden Tiger’s words.

They probably didn’t want to leave, not when Jae-in Kwon was here.

“Looks like everybody arrived. The countermeasures regarding the Butterfly clan are over. The pattern of its psychic powers change frequently, so it’ll take time for the barrier to expand outside Eun-hui building, but this place is now safe.”

“…… Butterfly clan?”

To-yoon’s question was more like her thinking out loud, but Golden Tiger answered it.

“Moon Rabbit Warrior was not there. The butterfly clan sent a message to the violinist. Bold enough to break through Eun-kwang high’s barrier.”

There was anger and disgust in his golden eyes.

Golden Tiger looked at the faces of Je-gun Yong, To-yoon Ok, Jae-in Kwon, and Jared Lee, and began to speak.

“I haven’t introduced myself. Welcome to Eun-kwang high. I’m the head of the Tiger clan, Golden Tiger. Long time no see, Jae-in.”

“Hello. You look like Myung-ho Hwang, who’s the trustee, uh…… was the trustee of the school. You look like his younger self.”

“I’m not a lookalike, that’s me. I use the name ‘Myung-ho Hwang’ as well. I talked to you a few times when I was Myung-ho Hwang. I’ve never heard you play until today, but I regret not listening to your performance when you were at school.”

Said Golden Tiger, who looked like he was in his mid-thirties, at best.

Jae-in had a poker face, but she opened her eyes a little wider and expressed surprise.

“Let’s get to the point, then. Why did you get in touch with the Tiger clan?”

“I’m looking for a butterfly······ Butterfly clan. I would like to cooperate with the Tiger clan.”

“Hm, the Butterfly clan.”

Golden Tiger recalled the existence of the “Humble beings” dug up by Kim Shin-lok, but only a part of the Tiger clan and Ui-shin Cho knew about this information.

This did not explain why Jae-in Kwon had come to the Tiger clan.

Yongjegan, who seemed to have guessed Golden Tiger’s thoughts to some extent, intervened.

“I’ll explain that, Golden Tiger.”

Je-gun, who arranged this meeting, described what he had ‘sensed’.

“Je-gun Yong, I know your instincts are quite accurate. Still, there’s a lack of explanation.”

Golden Tiger was watching Jae-in Kwon.

Jae-in Kwon was known as a prodigious violinist with a fickle, different thinking pattern than ordinary human beings.

However, Golden Tiger paid attention to Jae-in Kwon’s outstanding features as a player and her prudence during her high school years.

It was hard to think that Jae-in, who had never left England for a while, would come to Korea just by Je-gun’s words.

‘There has to be another reason why Jae-in Kwon was so quick to move.’

Jae-in Kwon had a poker face even under the gaze of Golden Tiger.

She looked up at Jared Lee, nodded her head once, and opened her mouth.

“The Tiger clan didn’t really take action in anything all these years. So even if I knew the two tribes were feuding, I couldn’t trust you guys.”

“…… What do you mean?”

“Just a day before the Great Manchester Other-world attack, the English branch of the Players’ Association was raided by Original clans and was on the brink of destruction. Teams and teams of major professional players volunteered to help, and many of them died. Due to that, the progress of dominating the Other-world became very slow.”

“Yeah. At the time of the British Association and the Original clans’ relationship was the worst. You’d expect an attack any moment.”

“Our team captured the Original clans who participated in the raid alive. Fortunately, With the help of an Original tribe, who called themselves “relics,” we obtained a clue after more than a decade of mental manipulation and analysis.”

Jae-in paused for a moment.

“The captured Original were from the Korean Peninsula, the Bear clan. They say they raided the association under the command of ‘The one.’”
