146 – It’s not me… ?(One)

January 8, 2031.

Three days until the start of the festival.

“Ouch… … .”

Jaden, sprawled out on the sofa in the lab, opened his eyes with a groan.

Jayden, who had almost fainted, woke up and checked the time by raising his wrist.

AM 07:11

“Sigh.”

I forgot to set the alarm and went to sleep, but luckily I seem to have avoided oversleeping.

‘I don’t want to go through that twice… … .’

Jaden let out a deep sigh at the memories running through his head.

– Kkeuk!! I figured out all of your patterns!!

A high school girl who screams with confidence and rushes at her.

yes. A female student of the supernatural, not the supernatural, rushes with a cane.

Pooh-!!

Her shoulders collapsed from the opponent’s swinging Morning Star, and the female student finished the chant of the wind blade she was reciting right in front of her nose and blew off the summoned head.

“… Not even a battle mage.”

Why did he give up his arms when he said he had figured out all the patterns in the first place?

If you can win, you just have to win.

-After using the ability, the recoil will temporarily stiffen it.

He told me his weakness and said he would take advantage of that gap.

Wooo!!

-Certainly, with this level of destructive power, there must be that level of risk!!

However, the madman rammed the opponent’s ability to avoid and stabbed a spear into the chest of the summoned creature.

The summons disappeared, and the person who threw the spear was also expelled from the arena due to a decision not to continue the battle.

-Okay, next!!

And within 10 seconds, he jumped down the arena again.

I thought that if I went through the pain a few more times, it would calm down.

But it wasn’t.

The other students quarreled with each other during the challenge and rearranged the order of the challenge several times. But it was an illusion.

As the number of students who passed the 10th stage increased, the madness of the students who were waiting intensified. Is that all? Nam Seo-hee and the other students who had already passed the 10th stage, said they would pass the 20th stage, and pressed down the waiting students with force, and then they started to challenge again.

It was madness itself.

Thanks to that, he and Cheon Ji-ho couldn’t sleep a wink until just yesterday.

This is because the students who tirelessly rushed after recovering their stamina every time they returned after being defeated did not leave them alone.

Damn guys.

How well have I been doing in the past?

Even Cheon Ji-ho could not come to his senses for several days like a person who had been liberated from seeing the students giving away parts of his body casually.

“… I hope you get on the plane soon.”

You should get at least 8 more hours of sleep.

Jayden got off the couch and packed the things he hadn’t packed yesterday.

Sleep mask and earplugs with special magical treatment.

And fluffy pillows and exclusive blankets.

Finally, the conquest to wear at the opening ceremony tomorrow.

“… … Is it okay?”

After all, there is a clock tower nearby.

Thinking of procuring what he needed locally, Jayden left the lab.

**

In front of the employee parking lot.

Kang Han-na, standing in front of two limousine buses, trembled with one foot and slightly furrowed her forehead.

It will be 9 o’clock in a little while, because Baek Ha-na and Nam Seo-hee have not yet arrived.

The other 28 students all boarded the bus, and in the case of Jayden and Cheon Ji-ho, they arrived right away and got on the bus assigned to the professors.

Beep-!!

Kang Han-na’s smartwatch made a short sound.

It sounds like it’s 9 o’clock.

“Hey!!”

At the same time, Kang Han Na shouted at Baek Ha Na and Nam Seo Hee, who were approaching while dragging a suitcase from afar.

“Don’t you run fast!! You guys are the last!!”

But they didn’t run.

Instead, it just walks a little faster.

‘Ugh, even if you weren’t a real cutie, you would bang your head… … I can’t do it.’

This is because Nam Seo-hee is the youngest daughter of Namgoong-min, the best swordsman in Korea, and Baek Ha-na had a reliable agent named Claire.

“hello.”

“… Go sit down.”

Kang Han-na stuck her head out the door of the bus in front of Nam Seo-hee, who was going up while supporting Baek Ha-na, who was dozing off.

“All students have arrived. I think you should leave.”

“All right… … .”

Cheon Ji-ho, who was sitting next to Jaden and wearing a sleeping mask, waved his hand.

“Large, then.”

Kang Han-na quickly stepped back and got on the bus with the students.

‘… … ?’

Kang Han-na, who was about to take a seat, was slightly taken aback by the scenery from the back of the bus.

‘What, what did you do… ?’

Clearly, the back seat, which had been ordinary until 10 minutes ago, had turned into a bed with cushions that could not leak.

And the shadows that keep the cushion from collapsing.

“Me, professor?”

“Yes? Oh, sorry.”

Kang Han-na saw the bus in front of her leave and quickly sat down.

Glance.

Kang Han Na’s eyes turned to the rearview mirror.

Baek Ha-na is lying face down on a bed made of cushions and resting on Nam Seo-hee’s thighs.

Judging by the closed eyes, it was clear that he was sleeping.

And Yoon I-seul and Na Joo-hee sitting in front as if they were protecting a hundred.

‘… … I’m really fucking curious.’

what the hell happened inside?

Kang Han-na shook her head at the students’ attitude of accepting everything as if it was natural and leaned back on a soft chair.

“Let’s go.”

The stopped bus departed for the airport.

**

-Come on, everyone get off!!

“… … ?”

Baek Ha-na, who was lying in a hazy state, opened her eyes at the sound of Kang Han-na’s voice in her ears.

“You woke up.”

“… yes.”

Baek Ha-na stood up as she greeted Nam Seo-hee, who was looking down at her.

“… … ?”

And when he looked around, his eyes widened.

I definitely remember getting on the bus with Nam Seo-hee, but why was I lying on cushions instead of chairs?

“let’s go.”

“Uh, uh… … .”

I’m not sure, but thanks to that, Baek Ha-na got off the bus with Nam Seo-hee.

– How about the Hwarang?

– They said they boarded first.

Kang Han Na and Jayden exchange conversations at a slightly distant place.

“This is the airport… … .”

“Is this your first time?”

“yes.”

Baek Ha-na looked around curiously, and Yun Isul, who was standing in front of her, smiled and said,

“Would you like to go on an overseas trip together in the summer?”

“If you want to go, go with me. I’ll pay for everything.”

Na Joo-hee quickly added her words.

“thanks. But I’ll refrain. Senior too.”

“If you have any thoughts, please tell me anytime.”

“… me too.”

Na Joo-hee, who was about to ask why, followed her with a slight frown at Yoon I-seul’s step back.

“Come on, move!”

The professors follow Jayden into the airport.

Hana Baek and the students followed after Kang Han-na, who was walking behind her.

– Oh, you’re here. It is this way.

The party arrived at the gate without going through any confirmation procedures.

“Is that the plane we will be flying on?”

“yes. There is also a restaurant and light entertainment inside.”

“… Let’s go to the restaurant.”

“yes.”

Baek Ha-na is staring at the plane with twinkling eyes.

Nam Seo-hee smiled lightly and boarded the plane with Baek Ha-na.

“Is there a number on the front of the room? Go in and sit down in the order that suits you. After the plane leaves, I will spread the message.”

Kang Han-na finished her words and disappeared.

“One, see you later.”

“Ah, yes.”

Baek Ha-na blinked blankly at the interior, which had nothing to do with what she had seen on the Internet, then opened the door with the number ‘1’ on it and went inside.

“… It looks bigger than my room.”

From the bed to the sofa to the refrigerator, I sat down admiring the interior with everything that could be there.

-We will be taking off soon, so please take a seat and check your belts.

Shortly after the announcement, the scenery outside the window moved little by little.

“wow… … .”

Hana Baek was genuinely amazed at the scenery seen through the window.

And at the same time, I felt a bit of regret.

-It is free time before landing. Instead, don’t make an accident, and the first year waits for a while.

After a short break, Kang Han Na’s voice came out again.

-This is the first time for you guys, so first of all, the ceremony and the rules to follow… … .

Even though it was sufficiently summarized, it was only after a long time had passed that Kang Han-na allowed first-year students free time.

Click.

Baekhana, who unfastened her belt, approached the window.

It was so amazing to see the long, fluffy clouds that I had always looked up at under the deep blue sky like a bridge.

‘It would have been better if we had seen each other… .’

Baek Ha-na felt longing and regret as she recalled Baek Woo-jin, whom she had not seen for a month.

‘Should I make a phone call… ?’

I’m sure you’re riding somewhere here.

If I text you that I miss you, won’t you come and see me?

“No, no…”

Hana Baek shook her head, recalling the conversation with Claire that day.

-It’s one. let’s go to the restaurant

“Oh, yes. I’m leaving now.”

Hana Baek put the smartphone in her hand and left the room.
