139 – It’s a crime!!

November 17th.

Almost a month has passed since the people who will participate in the academy festival have been selected.

“Refine your mana a little more precisely. Waste still occurs in the process of being converted into brain energy.”

“… yes.”

Looking at Claire, who had pushed herself to the limit with a single wooden sword, Nam Seo-hee struggled to nod.

“To rest.”

“thank you for your effort.”

Nam Seo-hee came out of the training room catching her breath.

“Good job.”

“Sigh… .”

Kang Han-na, who was sitting leisurely in a chair, threw a towel as if she was used to it, and Nam Seo-hee sighed briefly as she wiped the sweat with the towel she received.

-Kang Seok-ho.

“Yes, yep!!”

Kang Seok-ho, who had been waiting with a nervous expression on his face, jumped up from his seat and entered the training room.

Nam Seo-hee opened her mouth while looking up at the screen while sitting next to Kang Han-na.

“Is the professor here?”

“No, but I don’t think you’re coming today?”

Kang Han-na took out one of the snacks piled up below and put it roughly in her mouth. These were the things Baek Woo-jin, who hears here every day, brought them.

-What?!

-Never close your eyes under any circumstances. The moment you close your eyes can lead to death in real combat.

-Yeah!!

Kang Seok-ho, who was stripped of his soul by Claire on the first day, achieved rapid growth with the single thought of not wanting to go through that terrible pain again.

Kaang-!!

-Huh!!

– The motion is still too big.

Fast-!!

– Oops?!

Kang Seok-ho started counterattacking immediately after blocking Claire’s first stroke by manifesting his ability of steel, but he was hit in the side by the follow-up hit and rolled to the floor.

“Is the hawk the medicine after all?”

Kang Seok-ho learned how to make his attacks more threatening by instantly adding weight to his arms and wrists with steel when he wielded his sword.

He was born with a good grip on the spoon and relied only on the increased magical power with the help of a good elixir, but when he thought of the past when he was beaten by Baek Ha-na every day, it was a shocking growth.

“Rather than that, what do you mean the professor isn’t coming today?”

“uh? ah, what is that Is that today?”

“What is it?”

Well well.

Kang Han-na answered while chewing on a piece of milk chocolate that smelled like fragrant butter.

“Practical test for those who will become your juniors.”

“… Practical work.”

Nam Seo-hee muttered quietly, then looked back at Kang Han-na and asked.

“Did we go on vacation?”

“I did. That too two weeks ago.”

Kang Han-na forgot another piece of chocolate and smiled.

“You didn’t even know the time was passing, did you? I was like that at first too.”

as she said

Every day, he is stuck in the training room, receives guidance from professors, and returns to the dormitory only when it is late.

There were no holidays, and all meals except breakfast were served in the training room. And when I returned to the dormitory with my stamina drained, I was busy taking a shower and falling asleep.

In addition, since he did not listen to lectures, he completely forgot about the flow of time.

Messages from Maria and Idney came several times a day, but mostly they were small talk and stories about fairies.

“Professor, are you a supervisor again?”

“of course. Other than Professor Baek, is there anyone else to supervise?”

“Chairman… ?”

“As soon as the vacation ceremony was over, he went far and wide to find a crack. Want some?”

“… I will eat lunch.”

Nam Seo-hee threw the one she was wearing around her neck into a basket piled with other towels and stood up.

“Let me know if one comes out.”

“Who would think that the two of you are dating?”

“One isn’t bad.”

“Well, even if you look at the same woman, it’s a bit pretty. But don’t do anything weird.”

When Kang Han-na looked at her with open eyes, Nam Seo-hee lightly passed her.

“I don’t do anything Hana doesn’t like.”

“… That word is more creepy.”

Nam Seo-hee did not respond and entered the training room assigned to her.

Kang Han-na, who was alone, rummaged through new chocolates.

– Kkeuk!!

Kang Seok-ho beyond the screen rolled unsightly on the floor again today.

Beep Beep-!!

An alarm sounded from Claire’s wrist.

She lowered the wooden sword she was holding.

“Today ends here.”

“Ah, thank you… !!”

A 3rd year female student held up the spear as a cane and bowed her head towards Claire.

Claire waved lightly at the student’s greeting and then came out of the training room.

“You worked hard today too!!”

“Well.”

Kang Han Na, who ran swiftly, took over the wooden sword in Claire’s hand as if it were natural.

She asked quietly as she arranged the wooden sword on the stand.

“Hey, would you like to have a meal together?”

The students who had come out for a while and were taking a break listened.

When the opportunity arises, be ready to run right away.

“prior appointment. Eat next time.”

“Ah, that’s right!!”

Kang Han-na scratched her head and laughed, and the students, who were listening, relaxed and took a break again.

Swoop.

Claire, still not sweating, stretched out her hand, and a small bag lying in the corner flew into her hand.

It was a storage artifact that Baek Woo-jin often carried around.

Claire took it and stood in front of the training room door at the far end where the red light was on.

Beep, Beep Beep.

And I manipulated the button on the tightly closed door.

Push Yi Profit.

Claire entered through the wide open door.

Push profit.

The door was closed again, and Kang Han-na and other students stared blankly at the red-lit door for a while.

Whii Iik-!!

A snowstorm that blows with the force to swallow everything.

“stop.”

As soon as Claire’s lips closed, the snow wind that had been blowing so that she could not see an inch in front of her stopped.

Then, the snow piled up around them disappeared like a mirage, followed by the white walls and floor of the training room.

Claire called out to the girl who was struggling to breathe in the center.

“Hana-san.”

“Ha ha, ha ha… ?”

Hana Baek, who was breathing as if she was going to run out of breath, turned her head. Then, when he finds Claire standing in front of the door, he collapses into a sitting position.

“Eh, nihii… … .”

“You worked hard.”

With a faint smile, Claire came over to Baek Ha-na and sat down next to her.

“Slowly, no matter how extreme the situation, you must not lose your breath.”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa… Whoops… Sigh… .”

Listening to the nagging advice he had heard so much, Baek Ha-na closed his eyes and calmed down his rough breathing.

In the meantime, Claire took out the lunch boxes Baek Woo-jin had made early in the morning from her bag and put them down on the floor.

“Whoa.”

As her breathing calmed down, Hana Baek opened her eyes.

“… Won’t Woojin come?”

“Looking at the proctor,”

“exam? before evaluation?”

“No, it’s a practical test for freshmen.”

“newcomer… ?”

Baek Ha-na’s eyes widened at the word freshman.

Click.

While Baek Ha-na calmed down, Claire opened the lid of the lunch box and arranged the cutlery in front of Baek Ha-na.

“ah… Go, thank you.”

Baek Hana, who came to her senses, held chopsticks in her hand and opened her mouth.

“Then, how did the second semester evaluation match go?”

“Ask Maria and Idni later.”

“Cheese… You can tell your sister.”

Hana Baek pursed her lips, and Claire laughed silently and raised her chopsticks.

The two pointed their chopsticks at Baek Woo-jin’s carefully crafted food, no matter who said it first.

Sandwich with well-grilled beef, vegetables, and dressing, starting with fluffy and moderately elastic egg rolls.

In addition, it was a very luxurious combination to call it a lunch box, starting with cheese gratin that Baek Ha-na would like.

“How about training?”

“… tiring.”

Hana Baek put an egg roll in her mouth and continued.

“It’s not fun… I’m not even motivated… … .”

gulp.

Baek Hana pointed at the top of her head with the chopsticks in her hand as she swallowed the egg rolls, which had an exquisite balance of sweetness and saltiness.

“I mean, I wanted to spend time with Woojin, not him… … .”

Hana Baek, who had been staring at Krystal for a moment, stretched her shoulders.

“But it’s hard to see the face of the person you really want to see even once a day… Even if you watch it, it’s only 1 hour? If that’s the case, I won’t be a candidate… … .”

“Um… … .”

Claire pondered over how to soothe the depressed Baek Ha-na.

“That, Hana-san? It’s not that I don’t understand Hana-san’s heart, but I have to persevere through this situation in order to show the true image of an adult.”

“… until when?”

“Um… .”

Claire didn’t have an easy answer.

Baekhana pursed her lips and grumbled at Claire.

“… sister is good Even if I’m busy during the day, I’m not going to sleep with Woojin every night.”

“Oh no! That, school, professor came in early in the morning and left immediately… Ha, we don’t sleep together… … .”

“Even if we don’t sleep together, it’s okay to be with Woojin anyway… .”

“that’s… I-I’m an associate professor… I have to clean the mansion too… … .”

Claire, who was brandishing a wooden sword while looking at the students with a nonchalant yet cool gaze, dyed both cheeks red and wiggled her fingers.

“Oooh!! I can’t even see Woojin’s face and I’m rolling over to that weird guy here!! Kill me!! It’s lethal!!”

“Ha, Miss Hana?!”

“And, what? Woojin is not like that!! If you’re going to leave it like this… … !!”

Hana Baek, who had been shouting to leave the training room, suddenly shut up.

“Ugh, uh… … .”

Claire narrowed her eyes as she saw Hakhana’s face slowly turning downward and blushing.

“… Miss Hana?”

“Ugh!! Fool!! dummy!! I hate it… I don’t lose!!”

Baek Hana moved her chopsticks with a blushing face and started stuffing the remaining food into her mouth at random.

“Miss Hana, don’t be in too much of a hurry. You promised that I would tell you when the opportunity comes.”

“… … Gulp, can’t wait for that… It’s not certain… … .”

Seeing Baek Ha-na look more depressed than before, Claire was seriously worried.

“Hana-san.”

“… … Why?”

Hana Baek raised her head.

Claire looked at herself with weak eyes and whispered softly to Baek Ha-na.

“The last of this festival… … .”

Pababaam——!!

A loud sound came from the chest.

It’s a sound that should never come out of a smartphone that is always set to vibrate.

Since the culprit was decided, I took out my smartphone.

[ (⇀‸↼‶) Eavesdropping on ladies’ conversations is a crime!! ]

“… … .”

[ (¬◡¬)✧ If you try to eavesdrop one more time, Claire will tell you everything. ]

[ ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ Hee hee, but I will listen!! ]

After that message, the smartphone screen went black.

Seriously, I thought about going straight to Yu-Hee-Shin’s temple and destroying all of his idols.

‘… I’ll have to check again later.’

After putting the smartphone back in his arms, which he might break, he called Kim Seong-won.

“Did you call?”

I blew the papers I had lined up on my desk to him.

“When assigning dorm rooms, stick with the guys there.”

“All right. Is there anything else you want me to do?”

“I’ll give you another list tomorrow, so take care of them as well.”

“yep. I will prepare in advance so that there will be no mistakes.”

With his head down, Seongwon Kim left the supervisor’s office.

‘Today only 10 people… … .’

After the practical exam, I took a quick look at the guys wearing student skins walking around the academy.

‘I wonder how much more they’ll creep in.’
