Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad-Chapter 177

Choi Hyun-seok’s expression was quite disgruntled.

He had just heard that his skin was like a mineral.

“Are you joking?”

“No. I’m serious.”

“But calling a person a mineral…”

“Really. Even looking again, this is closer to a mineral’s reaction than a living thing’s.”

Sullivan’s expression was deadly serious.

“Please explain in detail.”

“Do you know the concept of magical conductivity? It shows how easily magic flows through an object.”

“Yes. To some extent.”

This was something Choi Hyun-seok had known about for a long time.

He had experimented by flowing magic through various objects before.

He simply didn’t know the term ‘magical conductivity’.

But he was aware of the concept itself.

Sullivan continued her explanation.

“Mr. Choi Hyun-seok. Your body has abnormally high magical conductivity. It’s dozens of times higher than normal humans.”

“Hmm, isn’t that because I use a lot of magic?”

“No. Even legendary humans don’t show this level of conductivity.”

“…”

“Actually, Park Hyun-a over there has quite high conductivity even among legends. But compared to Mr. Choi Hyun-seok, it’s not even a quarter of yours.”

Only then did Choi Hyun-seok realize that this situation wasn’t ordinary.

Those who have reached legendary status have high magical conductivity because they’ve handled magic for a long time. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Park Hyun-a’s conductivity is high even compared to such legends.

Yet they’re saying his conductivity is several times higher than Park Hyun-a’s.

How should he take this?

“It’s impossible for a living being to have such high magical conductivity.”

“Is this a problem?”

“Theoretically, it’s not a problem. Rather, it’s good. High conductivity makes it easier to use magic or fighting techniques, and various restrictions disappear.”

“Ah.”

Choi Hyun-seok can put much more magic into a single fighting technique than others.

He’d always wondered why, and it seemed it was because of his high magical conductivity.

“Then isn’t that good?”

“No. Look at this.”

Suddenly Sullivan walked to the corner of the cabin.

After rummaging through a drawer, she pulled out a metal lump about the size of a fist.

“This is a mineral called Ertel.”

“Ertel?”

“Yes. It’s the substance with the highest magical conductivity.”

Sullivan injected magic into the Ertel.

Then the Ertel began to change its form.

It became a small dagger, then suddenly changed into a bowl, and so on.

It constantly changed its appearance according to Sullivan’s magic.

“Ertel can change its form like this according to magic.”

“That’s fascinating.”

“What you’re about to see is even more fascinating.”

Sullivan approached and injected magic into Choi Hyun-seok.

Then his skin began to ripple as if it were alive.

“Wha!? Why is it doing this!?”

“Mr. Choi Hyun-seok’s body has similar properties to Ertel. That’s why it changes form according to magic.”

His continuously changing body returned to normal when Sullivan removed her hand.

‘I thought this only worked with fighting techniques, but it works with magic too…’

Actually, body transformation was familiar to Choi Hyun-seok.

After experiencing an accident(?) in Rotark’s laboratory before, he became able to transform his body.

“That one can measure up to 600,000, just so you know.”

“600,000? Didn’t you say yours could measure over 1,000,000 last time?”

“You think I’d use store equipment? Of course, it’s specially made! Custom!”

“Ah…”

He thought buying items was the end of it, but it seemed they could be modified further.

‘I should ask her to do that for me later too.’

Asking right after receiving the gift would be asking to get cursed out.

Choi Hyun-seok decided to ask at a more appropriate time in the future.

“Well then, let’s check!”

“Alright.”

And so, the combat power measurement began.

Choi Hyun-seok proudly put his hands on his hips.

Rachel placed the measuring device on a rock and brought her face close to it.

“Let’s see…”

The numbers on the measuring device started rising rapidly.

“Passed 100,000!”

“Ooh!”

“150,000!”

“Let’s go!”

“190,000…!”

Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel waited for the results with tense expressions.

Beep!

Finally, the measurement was complete.

“How much? What’s the number!?”

Choi Hyun-seok asked urgently.

“Ugh~! So close.”

“How much is it?”

“198,000.”

The combat power had barely failed to reach 200,000.

[Combat Power: 198,328]

Choi Hyun-seok nodded with a satisfied expression.

Though it was a bit short of the target, this was enough.

“Just need to level up a bit more.”

Just as he picked up the combat power measuring device to put it in his inventory naturally—

“Hey. I’m heading out now.”

“Where are you going?”

“I promised to train Abelson later.”

“Ah…”

Suddenly Choi Hyun-seok’s expression became gloomy.

“Older sis, how long are you going to neglect me? I’ve reached the promised level 1,000 now…”

“Let’s start properly from tomorrow. You’ve escaped from having a paper-thin body, so it’s time to upgrade your software.”

At her words, Choi Hyun-seok’s expression brightened as if he’d never been gloomy.

“Thank you!”

“Well, I’m off. You worked hard, so rest well today.”

“Yes! Take care!”

After Park Hyun-a left.

The remaining Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel looked at each other.

“Think she’s gone?”

“Yes. Seems like it.”

Cunning smiles appeared on both their faces.

“Shall we start the real party then?”

“Kihihit! Sure!”

Choi Hyun-seok took out a yellow fruit from his inventory.

“Haah… Hero! Rachel has been waiting for this day!”

“I’ve held back as much as I could… No more!”

Dusebaryche, meaning sweet greed.

They hadn’t eaten it because Park Hyun-a has been around, but today was a happy day.

One should be fine.

Choi Hyun-seok carefully cut the fruit with magic.

“Kuuh! Look at that color!”

Drool dripped from Rachel’s mouth.

“Older sister was right. The inventory is so useful like this.”

The fruit was extremely fresh because it had been stored in the inventory right after being picked.

“Well then, let’s eat!”

“Aang~”

Just as Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel were about to put the fruit in their mouths—

“You bastards! I knew you’d do this!”

“H-Hero! We’re busted!”

“Don’t care! Just shove it in your mouth!”

Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel stuffed whatever fruit they could grab into their mouths.

“Spit it out! I said spit it out!”

***

That day, when the appointed time came but Park Hyun-a didn’t show up, Abelson went looking for her.

Shortly after setting out.

She found Park Hyun-a trying to gut Choi Hyun-seok and Rachel and ran over in shock.

“P-Please calm down!”

“Let go! I need to fix these bastards’ habits!”

“They’ll really die at this rate!”

As Abelson held back Park Hyun-a.

Without anyone noticing, she secretly hid a piece of fruit in her chest.
