Chapter 46 – Rule 19. The Leader Tests His Unique Ability (3)
“Good reaction.”
The girl nodded with a satisfied expression.
I couldn’t help but be delighted.
After all, I had finally obtained the unique ability I had long desired.
“What’s your name?”
I asked, looking at the girl.
Her long golden hair fluttered in the gentle breeze created by the crack.
Since it seemed like we would be seeing each other often, it was better to exchange names.
“I don’t have a name.”
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
“You don’t?”
“Hmm, maybe I should come up with one now....”
The girl stroked her chin thoughtfully, then spoke as if she had an idea.
“Since I’m a Golden Sheep...”
With a flourish, she tossed her hair over her shoulder and placed her thumb and index finger under her chin.
“Call me ‘Geumyang’!”
She said this with a confident smile and a glint of pride in her eyes.
She seemed very pleased with the name, thinking her sense of naming was excellent.
‘Geumyang...’
“Why the face?”
“The name is a bit...”
I couldn’t bring myself to say it was corny.
Geumyang glared at me with sharp eyes.
“You dare not understand the supreme naming sense of mine...?”
“The name feels strong and charismatic. It’s pretty good.”
“Hmm?”
“The more I think about it, the better it sounds.”
“Oh.”
I couldn’t argue with her about a name she liked.
As I uttered a white lie, Geumyang’s face gradually brightened.
She wiped under her nose with her finger, nodding in satisfaction.
“Hmm... You do know something.”
Geumyang puffed up with pride.
It was clear that despite her grandiosity, she carried no real weight.
“Alright, then.”
As Geumyang removed her hand from mine, the crack condensed into a line and vanished.
At the same time, the sensation of activating my unique ability faded away completely.
“Did the sensation disappear...?”
The feeling of having something and then losing it was disconcerting.
“You may have reached the minimum threshold, but you overused your spatial abilities right from the start. That likely caused severe side effects. It’s not surprising the sensation vanished.”
“So I lacked the capacity?”
“Yes, it’s proof that you haven’t yet grown enough to properly use spatial abilities.”
That was something I hadn’t considered.
“Anyway, my unique ability is still intact?”
“Of course.”
Her clear answer eased my concerns.
I could finally be at peace.
“By the way..., kiddo? I have a question.”
‘Kiddo?’
Thinking about it, if Geumyang’s story was true, she was much older than me.
I decided not to argue.
“What is it?”
“Ahem!”
Geumyang covered her mouth with her fist and cleared her throat.
“Well...”
She put a hand to her mouth and cautiously asked,
“Did Luffy become the Pirate King...?”
Luffy?
Oh.
“You mean One Piece?”
“Yes, that’s it!”
One Piece.
The manga about a man named Luffy on his journey to become the Pirate King.
“It was discontinued.”
“What?”
“The world went to hell. The author’s whereabouts are unknown now. It’s an old story.”
I shrugged as I answered.
A brief silence followed.
Thud. Geumyang slumped to the ground.
Her face showed utter despair.
“So this is what despair feels like....”
An existence some called a god.
The Golden Sheep tasted despair for the first time.
......
To test my unique ability, we decided to move to another location.
Geumyang and I headed to a training facility in Neo Seoul. It was a commercial establishment where you could rent a spacious private training room, ensuring privacy.
Originally, Geumyang said she could traverse spaces and move to the training facility instantly.
But she wanted to explore Neo Seoul, so we walked along the roads. Since it had been a while since she set foot in this world, I understood.
Geumyang’s usual attire was a white dress, so I lent her my clothes. Because of our size difference, she ended up wearing an oversized coat, which draped loosely down to her elbows.
She couldn’t even wear my pants as they didn’t fit.
“I wanted to wear a uniform too...”
She muttered wistfully, glancing at me.
Was she asking me to buy her a uniform?
“We can talk about that later.”
I didn’t have the funds for it at the moment. Besides, I was eager to test my unique ability.
We arrived at the training facility and rented a private training room.
It was quite spacious.
It seemed to be worth the price.
Since it was my first time here, I didn’t expect it to be this good.
In the center of the training room.
Geumyang and I stood facing each other closely.
“Come to think of it, you said you’ve been sticking around me?”
“Yes.”
“Have you been watching my every move?”
I asked while checking the state of the Iron Dragon Staff.
If what Geumyang said was true, she might have been spying on my entire private life.
“Yes. From when you were little, being held by a robot. I was watching only you.”
Hmm.
I see.
