The Suzerain is a person who has reached the top of this world on his own.

'He's quite terrifying.'

In our society, people usually gather power in groups. If not, a powerful group might overcome them.

But the Suzerain is different.

He reached the top alone.

Honestly,

It's impossible to resist him right now.

Even if the Suzerain decided to wreak havoc on the Korea Hero Academy today, the Academy would barely stand a chance. The damage would be enormous.

But Kim Ara is an exception. She managed to avoid the Suzerain's notice and enrolled at the Korea Hero Academy.

This is why Kim Ara's rank is low.

It's not only because she can't control her power, but also to dodge the Suzerain's scrutiny.

"How do you know about that?"

She looked at me, disbelief in her eyes.

I wouldn't believe it if I were in her shoes either.

"About the Suzerain? Or the fact that you're his daughter?"

As Kim Ara glared, I gave a small smile.

Feigning calm, feigning calm.

I also have my ways of getting information.

I tapped my head as I spoke.

I know you're the Suzerain's only daughter. He cherishes you deeply... and you have inherited his unique martial arts.

......

Kim Ara was looking at me, her eyes dark.

But I trust one thing. Me, as the top scorer who cleared the Tower of Trials with a record-setting score.

I have confidence that no information about me will leak because of the Body Against Heaven.

Even if Kim Ara decided to attack me, I'm sure I could win in a moment, but she doesn't know that.

She might keep a close eye on me for some time. After all, Kim Ara is careful.

So, are you going to destroy it, or not?

I'll destroy it.

Kim Ara nodded obediently and touched the wall.

Kwaang!

She clenched her fist and the wall exploded. I was stunned.

That's something Kim Seohyun would have to attack 2~3 times to break, but she did it in one blow. It was staggering power.

Wow.

Others also gawked at Kim Ara, visibly surprised.

Really, impressive.

I whistled and walked towards the destroyed wall.

A twisted path lay ahead.

Kim Seo-hyun took 39 minutes to reach here according to the book.

I need to hurry.

I'm running out of time.

Kim Ara watched as the boy ahead strolled with his hands in his pockets. He didn't look nervous at all.

'It's a dungeon.'

Even though there were no monsters, the dungeon was full of traps.

However, thanks to the boy's guidance, they hadn't encountered any traps, despite Instructor Seo Woojoo's warnings. It must be Lee Seoha's doing. He was leading the group effectively.

'He's incredibly skilled.'

It seemed as if he had led tours through this dungeon countless times. The boy introduced as our guide was totally outshone.

"Do we even need this guide?"

"True, does our top student also possess some vision-related talent?"

A puzzled voice filled the air.

That's a sharp deduction. Only with a power focused on enhancing vision or senses could he show such skill.

"Here we are."

Lee Seoha pushed what appeared to be an empty wall. Then, with a rumbling sound, the stone wall shifted inward, revealing another secret passage.

'I thought he would reveal some form of power.'

But this was even more baffling.

Perhaps the most dangerous weapon this boy wields is not 'power', but something different. He continued advancing without a pause.

"Tha, That's impressive."

"Wow, we can just leave everything to the top student. This is too embarrassing."

Our group paused as we walked.

An unfamiliar instructor appeared ahead. He was slim and dressed in a striking black suit.

"... The last group to start arrived first? That's ridiculous."

The instructor glanced at us, then focused on the top student.

"28 minutes and 32 seconds. You're in first place. You can rest over there."

As the instructor pointed, everyone gathered into small groups and relaxed. Lee Seoha stared blankly ahead.

"Lucky."

[You are the first to arrive in the dungeon and earn 3,000p!]

[The instructors are shocked by your actions. You earn 1,500p.]

Perhaps because he finished first again, he earned a large amount of points.

Lee Seoha checked his points.

[17,500p]

A blue message appeared on the screen.

'If I gather just a bit more, I can afford it.'

Lee Seoha smiled satisfactorily. If he was delayed in earning 2,500p, his plan might be postponed. But at this rate, he would reach his goal soon.

[Kim Ara remembers you. You gained 2,500P.]

Lee Seoha did his best to keep a straight face.

He was truly lucky.

After class ended, I rushed back to my dormitory. The penthouse awaited me.

I felt like I was floating.

Not just because class ended, but because something fundamentally different was happening.

[20,000p]

The points had reached 20,000.

I went deeper into the penthouse, carelessly tossed my bag aside, and revealed the training ground inside the penthouse.

A personal training ground.

Only I could enter here.

I positioned myself at the center of the training ground and opened the multi-dimensional store.

In the multi-dimensional store, I clicked on the 'Talent' tab.

There were many talents listed.

There were talents that could instantly vault me to the top ranks.

However, they were all out of my reach due to my current points and the mana requirements. They were all unattainable dreams.

I ignored them all and chose one talent.

Unfathomable Talent(A-)-20,000p

Unfathomable Talent(A-)

A talent that is impossible to understand.

It excels in spiritual abilities. Its power can truly be described as divine.

: Positive adjustment for talents based on spiritual abilities and physicality

: Negative adjustment for mana-related talents

...I've met the minimum requirements with this.

And I tore the skill selection ticket I had received earlier.

The skill I chose wasIcarus's Advanced Spirit Control(C)

Even though it's a low-rank skill, it's the most practical spirit control skill among the C-rank skills that can be bought for 3,000p.

The cluster of light got absorbed into me, and various pieces of knowledge started to bloom in my mind.

I grasped the Black Heavenly Demon Sword.

Black Heavenly Demon Sword(S)

The divine sword once wielded by a Heavenly Demon.

A sword forged from black iron and millennium stones. It boasts the highest strength and hardness.

There is a legend that the sword possesses a soul.

: Inherent Skill Sword Spirit

: Inherent Skill Spirit Break

:???

:???

:???

I examined my skills. Sword Spirit and Spirit Break.

The Black Heavenly Demon Sword is a sword that emphasizes the growth of its user. And the skill, Sword Spirit, I think, is the be-all and end-all of the Black Heavenly Demon Sword.

Activating the skill, Sword Spirit.

Sssssss!

A black aura began swirling around the Black Heavenly Demon Sword.

[Hmm?]

A voice echoed in my mind.

Like the sound of someone awakening from a deep sleep, a drowsy voice.

Sword Spirit.

This is the power to awaken the soul within the Black Heavenly Demon Sword.

"Awaken. Heavenly Demon."

[You are the one who woke me?]

"That's right."

[Hmm, the current owner seems quite decent. I like your face.]

"."

I was speechless at her outrageous response. This sword judges by appearances?

[Hmm, master, you seem bothered by beauty. What is beauty?]

I wracked my brain at the sudden question.

"Harmony?"

[That's right. Harmony. Most beautiful things are founded on harmony. Beauty without harmony is merely grotesque. Also, for a body to be trained and balanced well, it too should have harmony. Therefore, you should be grateful to your parents who gave you such a beautiful body.]

Her words were ridiculous. However, they were not entiessrely without sense.

[Anyway, let's move on from this. Judging from your initial words when you woke me, you seem to be aware of my existence?]

"Yeah. I read about it in a document."

[That guy left my information? I thought he would hide my identity really well.]

The Heavenly Demon mumbled with a surprised tone.

[First, can I check your body?]

"My body?"

[Yes. Sadly, since my soul is embedded in this sword, I can't do anything without your permission.]

"Alright."

The Heavenly Demon hummed and emitted a black aura.

[Hmm? Master, do you have the Body Against Heaven? Oh, you do. That must have been the reason the Black Heavenly Demon Sword chose you as the master even without my awakening. But something's strange? This feels like the energy of Body Against Heaven is acquired rather than innate... No, it must be a misunderstanding.]

The Heavenly Demon expressed its confusion and then seemed to dismiss its own doubt.

[Hoho, you've already awakened Nyeom. Moreover, your intent is pure. You haven't been tainted by strange concepts. I don't know the reason, but there's absolutely no waste in your body. Have you recently taken a good elixir or something?]

"How about that?"

[It's good. The previous master wasn't even close to this. I'm not sure about talent, but your body is far superior from the start.]

"Is that so?"

[Yes. With this kind of physique, there's no need for the process of creating a vessel at least.]

The Heavenly Demon spoke with a soft voice.

[Then I'll teach you about the strongest martial vein, the Black Divine Martial Art.]

enjoy! :)

he becomes more overpowered every few chapters lmao
