Jinwoo is sitting on the sofa restlessly and shaking his legs.

Was it that he was worried? Young-je, who was fiddling with his cell phone next to him, opens his mouth.

“Jinwoo.”

“Uh, huh? yes?”

“Don’t shake your legs, good luck.”

“ah.”

… … Also our club.

It was really nice to see them caring about each other’s welfare.

at that time.

-smart

I heard someone knocking on the stale door.

“Hee! I’m here! That person is here!”

“Mr. Jinwoo. Oh, don’t be afraid.”

Sae-ah approaches the entrance, replacing the words I was about to say.

“Yes, I’m leaving!”

The voice is an octave higher.

Sae-ah opens the door with a smile that is clearly different from usual.

Then, behind the door, I saw the face of a grinning woman.

“hi? Familia friends.”

Short black hair in a half ponytail and a cool smile.

A black off-shoulder blouse and denim pants.

In fact, it was the first time we met face-to-face, but it was a moment to understand why she was able to create a fandom called ‘Moonlight Troupe’.

Certainly, with that kind of beauty, you can beat most idols.

“Oh, hello! This is Kim Sae-ah from Familia!”

Sae-ah, who was startled by her appearance, hurriedly lowered her head and greeted her, and Han Yeo-eun smiled and responded to the greeting.

“yes. It’s the Han Yeo-eun of Artemis. And… … I’m the mentor of the guy who’s trembling over there. Jinwoo, your mentor is here, but don’t you say hello?”

“Joe, good evening! Mentor! Did you have a good day today!”

“yes. I’m glad that Jin-Woo seems to be all right too. It looks like he’s working hard for the midterm exams as well.”

It was only after seeing Jin-Woo standing up from her seat and shouting, she nodded as if she was satisfied and slowly entered the room.

Then, as he looked around, his eyes widened as if surprised by the poor environment.

“wow. Are you saying this is really club failure? Even in my time, there was no bad room with such good facilities, but the academy seems to be pushing it a lot, right?”

She looked around the area with a bright smile like a child who came to the department store to play, but soon turned her gaze to this direction.

“I heard it was a bronze club, how did you get this much support?”

Is that what everyone who comes here is curious about?

“I bought it with my own money. And we are now a silver club.”

“Sabi? You must be formidably rich.”

“Yes. The family lives well.”

There are also problems with living too well.

“Eh? boss. Is this our silver club?”

“we. Did you get a promotion?”

“uh. That’s the first I’ve heard of it.”

“… … Didn’t I tell you?”

Come to think of it, after I heard from Yuli that we would be joining the silver club, I didn’t tell the children about it.

Because I went to Jeju Island right away.

“First of all, the important thing is to receive special training from guild leader Han Yeo-eun today. Let’s talk about that later.”

In fact, she was already looking at the other children with great interest.

“First of all, I understand that this girl here is a disciple of Ji Su-hyeon, and you were with old man Kwak Chun-sik the other day, right?”

“That’s right.”

She smiled as if she were talking about the academy’s freshman welcome party not too long ago.

“Then who is the other child?”

Seeing her smiling as she turned her head, Youngje lowered her head and replied.

“… … Now I am being taught by Lottie.”

“Lotty? Oh my, to have that crazy bitch as a mentor. You must also suffer a lot. And the girl over there… … Aren’t you the granddaughter of the old swordsman?”

Ignoring Jinwoo talking in the corner.

Choi Yeon nodded at her question.

“great. It would be nice to teach them all.”

Saying that, she looks at her watch and checks the time.

“If this is the time… … Better to start slowly. I can’t leave the guild for that long either. Where can I train?”

Apparently, as the head of a guild, he doesn’t have much time to devote to us.

Elder Kwak Chun-sik has plenty of time because he entrusted the management of the martial arts hall to his son, but originally, that must be natural.

“There is a training room used by club members over here.”

“yes? Then let’s go. Oh, by the way, can I ask if you specifically asked me because you wanted to receive special training?”

She asks with genuinely curious eyes.

The answer itself wasn’t that difficult, so I said it confidently.

“I have a mental test tomorrow. I heard that you are an expert in that field.”

“Well? so? Then you’ve come to the right place. Then, I need one more person. Can I call him?”

I roughly guessed who to call, so I nodded and answered.

“As much as you like.”

* * *

While warming up lightly upon arriving at the training ground, a woman wearing a white gown came to me with a smile on her face.

“ah. It looks like you arrived right. Artemis Guild’s medical team leader. My name is Hick.”

A white-haired woman wearing round glasses.

Her gown had a name tag that read [Gangnam Hick Plastic Surgery Clinic].

“Plastic Surgery… … ?”

Youngje wonders if there is disharmony in his appearance. The woman was startled and covered her name tag.

“ah. ha ha ha! I have other jobs as well.”

While talking like that, Hick, who was naturally moving behind Han Yeo-eun, found Jin-woo and smiled brightly as if he was glad to see him.

“ah! Jinwoo was also here.”

“Oh, hello.”

“Jinwoo is always diligent~ Always fighting!”

“ah… … Yes. Thank you for always.”

Since he was a guy who never said thank you, the other children tilted their heads looking at Jinwoo like that.

I know why he’s talking like that, so it doesn’t seem strange to me, though.

Well, the others will find out soon.

“Now then, I will help you train your ‘mental strength’ as requested by your general manager… … The training method I told Jin-Woo is a bit extreme, isn’t it? You’d better not worry too much though. Don’t worry, even if the white hair you see over there is a bit thick, your skills are good.”

Sae Ah nodded while clenching her fists.

“I have the confidence to receive training from the guild leader anytime!”

“yes? You said you were Ji Soo-hyun’s disciple, right?”

“Yes? Ah yes!”

“If you’re Ji Soo-hyeon’s disciple, you’ll be able to hold on well, right?”

“… … Yes?”

At the same time, she hears a small dagger in her hand.

“This is a sword called Karnwenan, but when it attacks, it only delivers pain and does not hurt, something like that. Wouldn’t it be quicker to see the effect yourself?”

And in an instant, her figure disappears from sight.

And.

“Huh?!”

It was at the same time that Sae Ah, who was standing in front of me, collapsed while grabbing her side.

“Oh, it’s hard to fall like this.”

Han Yeo-eun, who moved to Sae-ah’s side in an instant, put a knife in her side.

Suwook. A sword that comes out from the waist with a sound.

Sae-ah unknowingly grabbed the area that had been attacked, but no blood flowed out.

“You are so sick… … !”

“Even if it hurts, you have to endure it. Are you going to sit around feeling sick after being stabbed like that in real life? Get up right now.”

Seeing her talking coldly as if announcing the start of training, Sae Ah frowned and stood up.

Han Yeo-eun nodded and turned the dagger in her hand.

“The training method is simple. From now on, I will attack you with all my might for 10 minutes. And you either defend with all your might or hold out until the time limit. Isn’t it simple?”

Hearing that, Jin-woo, who seemed accustomed to getting ready, said, “But today it’s not a real sword.” Young-je and Se-ah, who are still looking confused.

Choi Yeon draws the sword from her waist without saying a word.

“Hick. time again.”

“Nep yep. I took out my stopwatch. Oh, if you get hurt or pass out during training, don’t worry, I’ll somehow save you. juniors?”

Even if he dies, he will save you, so he says in a very refreshing way that you should be beaten to your heart’s content.

“Dae, what is the alternative mental test like?”

Youngjae answers instead of Sae-ah’s question, who seems to be unable to understand with a face that is still in pain.

“I heard that mental magic is used to inflict pain and determine how to respond… … Surely this way would be a piece of cake.”

“right. I trained this way too and got a perfect score. Then, let’s start.”

Her appearance disappears once again.

As I raised my senses to the max and looked around, I heard the sound of swords clashing from the right side.

“Are you blocking this?”

“… … !”

Han Yeo-eun leisurely swinging a dagger with one hand, and Choi Yeon barely blocking the attack with trembling hands.

But.

“It feels good… … Aren’t your physical abilities still ripe?”

Fain!

Choi Yeon’s sword floats upward.

“—Let’s see how well you endure the pain.”

As it is, she holds the sword in reverse and plunges the sword into the collarbone.

Were you serious about attacking with full force?

Choi Yeon’s body, which allowed her attack, collapsed, and Han Yeo-eun looked back and smiled.

“Changcheon swordswoman out. Heal quickly.”

“Nep-nep.”

Hick and the other children are astonished as they approach Choi Yeon with quick steps as if they are used to it.

Knowing Choi Yeon’s strength, it’s hard to believe that it was organized so easily.

But that’s the reality. The difference between the top of the current industry and the sprout.

Soon, Han Yeo-eun’s eyes are focused on me.

“Shall we check how great the old man Kwak Chun-sik has been?”

At the same time, she disappeared leaving behind an afterimage.

But I was already ready.

When paying attention after scattering an aura around her so that she can be located at any time.

Feeling lethal on the left side, I punched out, and there was Han Yeo-eun lying on her face as if she were about to touch the floor.

“Are you feeling crazy?”

However, as if twisting her body, her attack just brushed past her ankle.

It was only a slight touch, but due to the nature of the weapon, a tremendous pain traveled down the spinal cord and swept through all of the senses.

But I was used to this kind of pain.

Gritting his teeth and planting his left foot on the ground, he turned around and swung his right foot at her.

A powerful contraction flies towards her top.

“Until the counterattack?”

She twists her body as if it were an acrobatics to avoid the kick and smiles.

“Still, the manager is the manager, right? great. How far will you hold out—— hmm?”

──Ting!

She carelessly swings her sword into the air.

At the same time, sparks flew in the air and a dagger was driven into the ceiling.

“Are you special?”

She smiled and turned her head in the direction the dagger flew towards her, looking at Jin-Woo.

Jin-Woo raises the corner of his mouth at this.

“I am doing what I have been taught.”

“Of course it should. Where is the idiot who stays still when the enemy attacks his comrades? I guess my mentee is right.”

───Geee

A group of indigo blue lights begin to swarm around her with a satisfied smile.

A dark aura reminiscent of the night sky.

There was an indescribable beauty there, but there was an unknown fear in the silence.

In the meantime, Choi Yeon, who came to her senses, had a hard time believing that she had just passed out.

She smiles so brightly that you can see her teeth.

“yes. It should come out like that!”

If I continued like this, it was clear that Choi Yeon would pass out again, so I ran to the other side and shouted.

“Attack at the same time!”

The confrontation (?) between Korea’s top-tier hero and Familia was about to unfold right here.

* * *

“Mr. Jinwoo. How many points did you get?”

Children talking about test scores with a blank face.

“Perfect score. you?”

“… … I’m perfect too. How about Mr. Youngjae?”

“Me too. The boss… … Will it be perfect?”

“yes. Judging from the fact that she just came in, Choi Yeon seems to have gotten 98 points.”

Is it the result of yesterday’s special training?

All of Familia succeeded in scoring in the top 1%.

All that remains now is the full Dalian tomorrow.

And for that… … .

“Five. Looks like everyone did well on the exam. Eugene. Don’t you have a pair of cars?”

“hahahaha. I would like Americano.”

Two elderly people had already visited Familia’s poor room.

… … under. when is the exam over really.
