136 – Isn’t this…?(1)

It was when Baek Ha-na had just stepped into the crowd after the confrontation.

“Uhh, uhhh, uhhh!!”

“… … ?”

With a very sinister laugh, Kang Han Na jumped forward.

She said as she threw a huge towel from which she did not know where it came from and draped it over one hundred shoulders.

“Uhhhhh… Write, after all, our cutie… Very good!!”

Kang Han-na praised Baek Ha-na while wiping the slightly dripping saliva.

‘Were you originally like this… ?’

Baek Ha-na went inside with Kang Han-na even though she was bewildered by her light appearance, which she did not normally show at all.

“It is one. It’s fine?”

“yes. My clothes are a bit torn, but it’s okay.”

Baek Ha-na covered her body with the towel Kang Han-na draped over her body and put the half-gloves she was holding in her arms.

Then I calmed down and listened to my surroundings.

– Ha ha ha! rich, rich!!

-Looking at the kids, please stop… … .

It’s not… … .

I focused again, excluding Kang Han Na’s voice.

-What the hell did I just see?

– Wow, fuck. I see Yun Yi-seul losing before I graduate.

– This has been proven. A fox can’t beat a wolf.

– But it seems that both of them poured in without a back.

-So a challenge?

– Will you? Even if I win today, I will be robbed like a dog next week.

After overhearing the whispers of the upperclassmen, Hana Baek let out a sigh of relief.

Although he told Nam Seo-hee that he was fine, he was a little tired and, above all, his remaining magic power had fallen below half.

Even in the current situation, I have the confidence to stick with anyone and win.

The process is just a bit cumbersome.

In the first place, I chose the strongest opponent because I didn’t want to stand on stage multiple times, and fortunately it looked like it would come true as I thought.

It was a satisfactory result, except for the fact that the other person was a more unpleasant person than I thought.

When Hana Baek caught her breath, the tumultuous surroundings instantly became quiet.

Yoon Dew, who remained on the stage, came up.

Holding onto his swollen left wrist.

As if all the expressions she showed on the stage were acting, she returned to her original seat with a calm face.

“Miss Dew? It looks like it needs treatment.”

“it’s okay. I’ll get it when it’s over.”

“Um, okay.”

Jayden nodded at her calmly speaking.

“Then we will continue.”

The sequence war proceeded smoothly.

– lost, lost

-thank you for your effort.

Three upperclassmen were defeated by Nam Seo-hee’s sword, which was fast but heavy and full of brain power.

-Fuck, open fire ability… … .

-huh.

Na Joo-hee also defeated two upperclassmen with her exceptional ability of matching and elementalization.

– I will abstain.

– I also abstain… .

– Abstain.

And one hundred and one that naturally rises upward through successive abstentions.

“Hmm, I’m more excited for next year than this year.”

Jayden muttered as he recorded the students’ rankings on the tablet.

『1st place: Hana Baek (1st grade)

2nd Place: Iseul Yun (3rd year)

3rd Place: Park Dae-geun (Junior)

4th Place: Nam Seo-hee (1st year)

5th Place: Ahn Jin-soo (3rd year)

6th Place: Joohee Na (1st year)

·

·

·

20th place: Joo Seok-hun (2nd year)』

There are as many as three first-year students in the single number.

One even rose to the top of the king’s seat.

There are still 20 students who did not participate in the ranking today, but if there is no major change, there will be a change only within the number of people registered now.

“You worked hard. It’s okay to break up today. Also, by 10:00 tomorrow, we hope that the supernaturals will come here, and the enhancement and transformation will gather in the training room for upperclassmen. then.”

Jayden packed up and got up.

The rest of the professors followed him and left their seats one by one.

“One, go… … .”

“Uh ha ha!! Cutie!!”

Kang Han-na broke into the gap between Nam Seo-hee and Baek Ha-na.

She said, roughly tousling her white hair.

“Do you have anything you want to eat? just talk!! Because Professor Lee will buy them all!!”

“… I want you to change your clothes.”

“Oh right. Let’s start with repairs!!”

“No, work… … .”

“Let’s go, let’s go~”

Kang Han-na reluctantly left the training ground with Baek Ha-na and Nam Seo-hee. That’s how we headed to the dressmaker’s shop in the center.

daughter and daughter

The reddish-brown wooden door reminiscent of the Middle Ages opened with a sound I had never heard before.

“welcome.”

As expected, a woman I had seen once walked out from inside.

“You are here for repairs. Come this way.”

Baek Ha-na and Nam Seo-hee went inside following the owner of the place who was wearing a monocle over his left eye.

“It’s over soon, so can you take it off?”

“… yes.”

At the owner’s words, the two took off their school uniforms and put them in the basket in front of them.

The woman wearing the monocle took it and went further into the studio.

“It is one.”

“yes?”

Baek Ha-na, who had been waiting blankly for the repaired school uniform to return, turned her head.

“That… … .”

“That?”

Baek Ha-na tilted her head at Nam Seo-hee’s unconventional behavior.

“Um, no, no. You’re really not hurt.”

“You said it was okay.”

Hana Baek laughed at her friend’s excessive concern.

At the same time, a woman who had entered the studio returned to the two of them with a basket full of clean school uniforms.

“It is over.”

“thank you.”

The two took their school uniforms out of the basket and put them back on.

By the way.

“… … ?”

Hana Baek picked up a small box inside the basket.

“Me, this?”

“It’s a glove.”

“… Gloves?”

In response to Becky’s reply, Baek Ha-na opened the box.

Inside, gloves of the same design as the half-gloves he had been wearing before were neatly placed.

“Since the school uniform has become rags, the gloves I made back then won’t be ruined either, right?”

“Uh, that… … .”

The gloves were fine.

Also very.

“it’s okay. It’s not like a service. The price has already been calculated by the professor in the past. So, if your gloves are broken or the size is not right, please feel free to visit us.”

“… I will.”

Hana Baek closed the lid of the box and held it in her arms.

“Oh, and you said this too. Gloves are consumables, so please don’t be nervous? Um, that would be right.”

“Puff… .”

Somehow I imagined it.

So I just laughed out loud.

“I, please take care of this.”

Hana Baek took out the half-gloves she had put in her bosom and handed them to Becky.

“Hmm~ I can see why the professor said that.”

She smiled softly at the glove that was so perfectly fine.

“I’m happy to be treated with respect, but I made this with the intention of protecting students’ hands. I bet your professor felt the same way, right? So please treat the child you are holding in your arms very, very, very rough.”

“Okay.”

“like.”

Hana Baek and Becky looked at each other and smiled.

Nam Seo-hee, who was watching the scene, secretly let out a sigh of relief at the fact that Baek Ha-na’s surroundings became brighter.

“Shall we go out?”

“Yes.”

Kang Han-na strides toward Baek Ha-na and Nam Seo-hee, who followed Becky outside.

“ruler! What are we going to eat now? Just talk! If necessary, I will also put in an application for going out!!”

“Uh, then… … .”

Baek Ha-na smiled lightly at Kang Han-na, who was holding her shoulder and said with a twinkle in her eyes.

“Please buy some chocolate and coffee sticks at the mart.”

“Yes, yes, chocolate and coffee… … ?”

Did you just hear correctly?

Kang Han Na narrowed her eyes with a bewildered face.

“Uh, so chocolate and coffee sticks?”

“Yes.”

“… rice is?”

“I’m going to eat home-cooked food.”

“… … yes?”

“Come on, let’s go.”

The three of them came out of the dressmaker like that.

**

One hundred and one bedrooms.

“Hey!! Didn’t you tell me not to scribble on your sister’s face?”

-Byeah hahahaha!! suck! suck!

Idni runs around to catch the fairy with the magic.

“I expected you to win, but I was a little bewildered that you actually won.”

“He was definitely strong. His ability was also a bit annoying.”

“You’re probably the only student who can barely rate the shadow ability as annoying.”

Maria was genuinely amazed.

And Idni, who was running around trying to catch the fairy, stopped for a moment and said to Baekhana.

“Did I tell you? Is that a complete monster?”

-It’s not a trick!!

Pak-!!

The magic in the fairy’s hand slapped Idni’s cheek.

“this… … !!”

-Beep hee hee!!

“Ah-oh!! Are you getting more and more spoiled?!”

Maria let out a short sigh as Idney jumped over the bed and ran across the floor, playing hard with the fairy.

“It’s time to go back soon, so do it in moderation and wake Seo-hee and Na-young.”

“Can’t you see I’m busy?! Wake you up!!”

“Sigh… … .”

Maria moved her hips to the side to wake the two of them who were stretched out on the bed.

“I’ll go to the study for a while.”

Hana Baek left the noisy room and headed for the study.

The door of the study, which was always open when he was a little young, has now become a place where he must knock before entering.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

– Come in.

It is a voice that makes you feel at ease just by listening to it.

Baek Ha-na took a short breath and went into the study.

I saw that person sitting in the same spot as always.

“… Is it okay if I come closer?”

“You are asking a strange question.”

“Is that so?”

I moved cautiously and approached him.

sniff sniff.

A smell that is habitually inhaled.

But I couldn’t enjoy his body odor like I used to.

‘Sister’s smell… … .’

The faint but lingering smell of Claire’s body on his shoulder mixed in.

“therefore.”

“Yes?”

Baek Ha-na, who had been absent-mindedly sniffing her body odor, came to her senses with a startle.

“I didn’t just come to say hello. If you have something to say, do it.”

“Um… I was in first place… … ?”

“Know.”

A nonchalant-sounding answer.

But soon you will change your mind.

Swoop.

A still large, warm hand caresses her head gently.

‘I can’t do this… … .’

I made a promise to myself to refrain from being foolish as much as possible.

“Yes… … .”

If you accept this kind of touch, your body will naturally lean on the person.

“… Woojin.”

“Tell me.”

The hand that was stroking her hair left.

little, no… It was very disappointing.

“If you win first place, they will listen to anything… … .”

“Yes it was.”

Hana Baek swallowed hard and raised her head.

His mysterious golden eyes, hidden behind opaque glasses, naturally come to mind.

‘… Wake.’

Barely calming her heart that was about to start beating, Baek Hana continued.

“… I want to be trained by Woojin.”

“Is that what you want?”

“yes.”

Baek Hana replied firmly and nodded her head.

Baek Woo-jin looked at Baek Ha-na for a while and then nodded.

Only then did a faint smile form on Baek Ha-na’s lips.

“then… … !!”

“then.”

Baek Ha-na and Baek Woo-jin opened their mouths at the same time.

“uh? uh, what, what?”

“… Stand in front over there.”

“yes?”

Hana Baek blinked at his sudden request, then got up and stood in front of the desk.

“Close your eyes.”

“I got it.”

Baek Ha-na slightly furrowed her forehead at the strange feeling that something seemed to come to mind.

“… … ah!!”

As the fuzzy memories became clearer, Hana Baek made a short sound.

In the past, it was the very training Claire demonstrated.

It’s just closing your eyes and avoiding flying objects.

‘Oh, I’ve grown up now… … .’

Baek Ha-na felt a bit sad when he tried to repeat the training he had done as a child. But at the same time, I saw it as an opportunity.

‘I have to show that I’ve really grown up.’

Hana Baek spread her magic power widely.

Even though my eyes are closed, the surrounding objects are drawn clearly as if they were open.

“Looks like you know what I’m trying to do.”

“of course. How many times I was beaten then!”

“… Anyone who hears it will know that I hit you.”

“You hit me right.”

“… … .”

“It’s a joke.”

Hana Baek laughed.

Occasionally, very occasionally, there are times when that person reacts in a difficult way, and it was so much fun to see that. It’s because I felt that I was saving myself that much.

“… start.”

“I’ll show you that I’m not the old me.”

Hana Baek focused.

Swoop.

and felt

A small mass of magical energy gathering in front of the desk.

‘Now I can show that I’m an adult too—’

Bahah——!!

A dull sound echoed through the study.

That was the last memory Baek Hana had of that day.
