Episode 21

Outdoor swordsmanship training grounds.

hook- hook-

Lee Seo-ah is constantly honing her special skill, the combo.

Before carrying out the secret quest, she began to recheck her skills.

The surroundings were crowded with swordsmanship students, and everyone was admiring Lee Seo-ah’s skills.

“Senior admissions students are different no matter what they do!”

“What kind of knife line is so smooth?!”

“Did I get first place in the evaluation at the end of this month for no reason?! It’s a territory that kids like us can never invade… . Sobbing… … .”

“Your face is pretty, you handle swordsmanship well, I want to live as Lee Seo-ah for just one day!”

“Lee Seo-ah’s combo is excellent every time I see it! It must have been innate from birth, right?”

Even in the meantime.

Lee Seo-ah did not pay much attention to the gazes around her.

Only, hatred for Lee Joo-ha only made her stronger.

‘I will never forgive you… … .’

Lee Joo-ha, who annihilated the family.

Whenever she thought of her older sister, her teeth trembled.

Lee Seo-ah still remembered the terrible past.

Five years ago, it was already past midnight.

The older sister Lee Joo-ha, who was holding a sword drenched in blood.

In front of her with a smile full of life.

Even now, I cannot easily forget the brutal images of my mother and father who died without even screaming.

A shameless murder committed to make all the exorcism that only existed in the family his own.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it soon turned black into a demon.

‘Seoya, never forgive me. If you want to find me, you have to become stronger. At least to the point of being able to deal with Blackwiz… … .’

At that time.

Seo-ah Lee did not know why he had left him alone.

Right now, if I were to meet the devil Lee Joo-ha, that was the first question I wanted to ask.

but so far.

It’s an established fact that we haven’t gotten a single clue about Lee Joo-ha.

Whether or not he really had contact with Blackwiz was a homework to be solved through this secret request.

‘There must be some clue.’

Lee Seo-ah wants to contact Blackwiz as soon as possible and dig into her details.

The firmer her heart became, the sharper the blade of the sword became.

Is that because

Whoever she is against.

In front of Dalian, there was not even an inch of distraction or carelessness.

A world where only the strong can survive.

No matter who the opponent was, Lee Seo-ah always did her best and despised those who had a clear difference in skill from her.

“By the way, Minjun Cha, how could he catch such a monster by himself?!”

Cha Min-joon suddenly came to her mind.

A little while ago, in front of Cha Min-joon, I brought up the story in a non-trivial way.

It was clear to anyone that Anarch was a monster of a level that Cha Min-jun’s skills could not deal with.

By the way, as you saw the video on YesTube.

Cha Min-joon’s hunting appearance was unconventional and shocking.

Even Cha Min-joon, who wore a Jenix ring like himself, consumed only the minimum amount of mana.

It was no different from proving his skills with only one bow.

“I’ll have to watch it while carrying out this secret quest. You might be able to dig something up.”

She left the question about Cha Min-joon as an assignment to be solved in the future.

***

Xenix Academy Dormitory.

Min-jun tried on the brass female closure given to him by President Kim.

[A brass female grip has been installed.]

[Agility talent rating has increased.]

[Agility C ▶ Agility C+]

[The risk of injury is significantly reduced.]

[Health recovery increased by 20%.]

-Did you pick up something useful?

“A useful weapon. What kind of female is this female?”

-Well, I usually use the expression of a pearl necklace on a pig’s neck in this case!

“If you’re envious, just say you’re envious. Don’t go around and talk.”

-Heh, how can I be envious of that one female! hahahaha! Aren’t you envious of human things at all?!

While arguing with Gram.

Min-joon fiddled with the female pod and finally sensed that the secret request schedule was approaching.

“A completely different quest than before. You will actually meet Blackwiz, whom you only saw in the original work.”

-hahahaha, are you running late?

“It’s hard!”

-Everything, I know your heart. But don’t be too scared. Because now you have this guy! hahahaha!

“That makes me even more anxious.”

– Cheeky human!

After dinner, Minjun went to the library as usual.

“Every time I come here, it’s crowded with students.”

While away from the library for a week.

Nothing really changed.

There were still hundreds of books to study the hunter theory, and there were also many students who were burning with learning.

Meanwhile, when Min-jun steps into the library, Kim Chun-wu clings to him like a ghost.

“Wow, who is this!? Aren’t you the true star of our Jenix? Holly Shack!”

“You sound like a big star. Go and work.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen your roommate, aren’t you happy?”

“Nice to see you… I saw you on Friday too.”

“Ahem, that’s what it says! I mean! Oh, and… Do you know what the atmosphere in the lower class is like now because of you?”

“How is it?”

“It’s crazy! very! Everyone looks at you as an object of envy? To put it bluntly, the kids who never spoke to me in my life asked me if I could give them your number! Some of them were pretty good… Write it~ Anyway, everyone can’t keep their minds from watching your hunting video~!”

“But you didn’t even give me your number, did you?”

after the weekend.

Minjun has become an icon of envy among the students in the lower classes, including the D class.

I only thought that Hunter was the realm of talent.

Most of the students who are in the same or lower class as Min-jun think that they will not dare to fight against C-class monsters.

However, it was none other than Cha Min-joon who completely broke that mold.

Is that why?

The number of classmates asking roommate Kim Cheon-woo about Min-joon Cha was rapidly increasing.

“Do you know how tired I am? And I’m not some kind of owl. I have a note to give to you, but there are already so many!”

“Note?”

“Yeah, I don’t know if it’s a love letter or what. Anyway, I envy you!”

Kim Cheon-wu handed the note to Min-jun with both hands full.

Most of the notes were messages of support from freshman classmates, and the main ones were messages about wanting to be close.

In addition, the notes sent by the Xenics Academy student council and club also contained content inviting Min-jun to join.

[My name is Kim Hyung-do, president of the Xenix Student Council. We strongly encourage you to join our student council. If you have any thoughts, please contact us at the contact information below.]

[hi? This is Yoon Min-seon, the president of the Arangfez club, would you like to join our Arangfez club? On weekends, we have meetings with academy kids from all over the country, and we often test each other’s skills. If you have any thoughts, I would like you to visit the club room once.]

[Cha Min-joon, I recognized you from the moment you acquired the Jenix ring! Won’t you be friends with me?]

[The back story is omitted, just come to our club tomorrow.]

‘No, at least you don’t have to tell us where the club is. Is it a high-level strategy?’

Minjun began to feel the popularity (?) he had not enjoyed even in his current life here.

Cheonwoo Kim, who was next to him, had eyes full of envy.

Minjun was enjoying this rare opportunity to his heart’s content.

“Are you inviting me to join the student council? Aren’t these cases rare?”

Since the student council is extremely meritocratic, unless you are a top class student with tolerable talent.

It is an established fact that it is difficult to sign up.

Minjun was invited to join, so it was a very unusual part.

“What, what?! Student Council? look where you look! really?”

Kim Cheon-woo hurriedly took the note away, and looked surprised.

“Wow! Minjun Cha! Since when did you become such a jerk?! The student council is almost exclusively for the upper classes. You are the first in 1st grade! Are you going to come in?”

“no.”

“What?! Are you crazy!”

“There’s nothing good about me going in there. And busy.”

“Crazy X!”

***

next day.

In front of the main auditorium of Xenix Academy.

The honor student members who had to carry out a secret request were gathered in one place.

It wasn’t just Lee Seo-ah and Min-jun that were there.

“Hello, my name is Anna Park, a freshman in the Department of Magic.”

“I’m… I’m Solji Yoon, a freshman in Kwon Gap Department.”

There are a total of 5 members of the secret request, including Woo Noh-hyuk.

In the original work, Park Anna and Yoon Solji were extras who were not treated as a big part.

Min-joon was also not a character that left a big impression on me.

However, it was because they were the students who took the top grade in the end-of-month evaluation within the department.

It was too early to ignore it if only in terms of skill.

Meanwhile, Park Anna recognized Min-jun and immediately approached him.

“ah! You were the talk of the town?!”

Anna Park, who was holding a long staff, expressed her joy as soon as she saw Min-jun.

“The real thing is much better! I’m in sync with this cute-looking kid! Let’s do well on this secret request!”

Park Anna had a cheerful personality.

The first impression of her willingness to shake hands first was also not bad.

“I… that… Where should I go first… … .”

Unlike this.

Solji Yoon seems to have an introverted personality.

Maybe it was because of her small physique, but she didn’t match the image of Kwon Gap-hak at all.

On the other hand, in response to her question, Woo No-hyuk recited a simple plan.

“First of all, I plan to slowly dig around the outskirts of Ansan. As much as we have to move carefully, we must also avoid exposing our identities as much as possible!”

Minjun also sympathized with Woonohyuk.

Like Blackwiz.

It’s a typical secret organization, and it’s a group that thoroughly hides their identity.

It was best to try to approach as cautiously and deliberately as possible.

“Now, everyone, do your best for this secret request. In case of reckless solo behavior! We will immediately judge that you are not suitable for this request and leave us immediately!”

“!!”

The students were a little nervous at Woo No-hyeok’s strong request.

“hahahaha! Teacher too! You don’t have to be so downhearted at your first meeting!”

Park Anna tried to change the chilly atmosphere somehow.

Even so, the cold atmosphere did not change easily.

Of course, this was something that Minjun knew as well.

However, when I saw Woo No-hyeok’s serious appearance, I wasn’t very happy.

-Okay, take the weight roughly.

‘Is it quiet?’

-Are you weighing in as a man?

‘What is the weight!’

However, Woo No-hyeok did not make comments without humanity.

The moment when I was about to step in to carry out the secret quest in earnest.

Woo No-hyuk was startled.

“for a moment! Previously.”
