157 – Eliminate(1)

After the draw, the opening party came to an end.

Inside the First Academy bus leaving the Royal Academy.

“Jane?”

“What is it?”

Jane Moore, who was watching the passing scenery through the window, turned her head. Then he looked straight up at the head professor, who had a rather complicated face.

“I heard that there was trouble with an Arena Academy student during the party. Is that true?”

“trouble? Nope. I just declared war.”

“Five… … We socially call it trouble. Jane.”

Sem Willis, who was a senior professor at the FA and attended as an observer of the match between Baek Woo-jin and Ben Stiller, wiped his face with both hands.

“Could you tell me what you said to the Arena Academy students?”

“Sure. He told me to be ashamed of taking the king’s seat in an unfair way. And he said he would dig up the injustice he committed on stage.”

“… Is that all?”

“Yes. Should I have said something more?”

“Five!! Nope. no. No. okay. okay.”

Shem Willis let out a sigh of relief and shook his head.

Because it wasn’t as bad as he thought.

It was a very, very, very wrong act in itself to have a fight with Arena Academy, but fortunately, what Jane Moore did was a category that could be resolved within the category of ‘students’.

Originally, at the opening party, trash talk is frequently exchanged.

It is said that this year was especially quiet, but that is only special this year. I saw a world ranker fall out after being slapped on the cheek during the day, but who would dare to open their mouth so easily?

‘This child’s accident is only more extraordinary… … .’

Jane Moore.

America’s treasure trove of insane talent throughout all of history, starting on the cataclysmic day.

Ability is ability, talent is talent, ability is skill.

In addition, she is a beautiful woman who can be liked by anyone with a personality that is even righteous.

She was the best Awakener to put on the frame of a hero or a saint that America wants.

If there’s one problem, it’s that he’s a great single-minded general.

He is stubborn and will not believe even if someone puts a knife to his throat, unless he has seen it with his own two eyes, no matter what reason someone comes up with and persuades him.

‘Still, if you admit your mistake, do you apologize properly… … ?’

Sam Willis, who was returning to the front seat, hesitated.

Can the troubled Arena Academy student win Jane Moore’s approval?

‘No, no.’

But the worries didn’t last long.

It’s not another academy, it’s a place where even the ranks of professors are divided through annual skirmishes.

I don’t know about other conveniences, but since it is a place that pursues skill supremacy more than any other academy, it must have the skills to match it.

‘Whoa, yes. Let’s take care of the children’s affairs among themselves.’

Sam Willis quietly returned to his seat and sat down.

**

Inside the Arena Academy Bus.

“sorry. Miss Hana.”

“… … Yeah? What?”

Baek Ha-na, who had been staring blankly at the window, turned her head away with her eyes wide open.

“The girl who had been arguing with at the party.”

“ah… … Were you acquainted?”

“Yes. He’s in the same grade as me. The first meeting was in America two years ago. At that time, I participated in the festival as a freshman representative.”

“Did you win?”

“Hmm, what do you think it was like?”

“I think the senior must have won.”

In response to the answer that jumped out without the slightest hesitation, the corners of Yun Seul’s mouth drew an arc.

“The reason is?”

“Senior’s magic power is higher… He seemed very simple… … ?”

“Poohyong.”

Yun Seul laughed out loud without even realizing it.

I don’t know if it’s a real laugh that came out in a few years.

“Thank you for appreciating me. But unfortunately, until last year, I had three times, but I couldn’t win even once. It is also the reason why our academy rankings do not get out of third place every year.”

“… I didn’t feel that strong when I was attached.”

Although today was the first time they actually met, Baek Hana had already defeated Jane Moore once in the rift.

It was not possible to widen the overwhelming gap as it has been shown so far, but what is clear is that it won with a margin even though it faced the world’s No. 1 player.

“The skill itself is similar to mine. But Jane, her and mine are at odds. In other words, the problem of compatibility was the biggest.”

“Ah, good luck.”

“Whoa, are you also TG?”

“TG? What is it?”

“The Guild. do not you know?”

“Ah, The Guild. I know. I am doing it too.”

“If you want to indirectly experience how much matchmaking affects a match, enjoy any PVP content.”

“uh… … I’ll try it when I have time.”

“Huh, really. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Hana-san.”

Even the innate magical power that overwhelms the supernatural world and the control power to handle it in detail.

It’s just that she can’t use magic, but Hana Baek was actually close to something beyond hybrid.

“Anyway, the reason I lost to Jane Moore is because my shadow ability is weak against Jane Moore’s light.”

“The stronger the light, the darker the shadow.”

“that’s right. But just because the shadows get thicker doesn’t mean you can get closer to the light.”

“Um… … .”

Baek Hana slightly frowned as if she didn’t understand.

“I don’t think it’s too difficult. If Jane Moore’s ‘Light’ is an A, you can think of my ‘Shadow’ as a B. If I had developed the same A grade ‘Darkness’ ability, the outcome of the match would have been reversed, right?”

“ah… … .”

Only then did Baek Ha-na open her eyes wide and nod slowly as if she understood.

Afterwards, Hana Baek was able to hear stories about Jane Moore and other students from Isul Yoon. And by the time the bus arrives at the hotel.

“Hana?”

“Yes?”

Hana Baek, who had unfastened her belt and prepared to lower it, turned her head.

Yun Seul took out her smartphone from her bosom and quietly whispered in Baek Ha Na’s ear.

“Shall we be friends?”

On that day, one person was added to Baek Ha-na’s friend list.

**

Two days after the opening party.

The morning of the first day of the festival finally dawned.

“It is done.”

“yes.”

Swoop.

“Oh… … .”

Claire quickly blushed at Baek Woo-jin’s action of slightly brushing her bangs and kissing her forehead.

“Don’t go.”

“I’ll see you later… … .”

After escorting Baek Woo-jin out of the door wearing a black coat, Claire took off her apron and headed to the bedroom.

And the blanket, which had traces of night and dawn, was neatly burned with light.

After that, I changed into clothes for going out and prepared to go out.

Swoop.

Dressing table not in use.

I put on the perception-impairing glasses that I had placed on top of it.

Tring-!!

[Maria: Executor! We are ready!! (Picture) ]

An email with attached pictures of children sitting in the shelter in the lobby.

Claire quietly left the room and got into the elevator.

tying.

The door of the elevator, which had been moving smoothly, opened, and Claire moved to the rest area in the lobby where the children were waiting.

“Maria.”

“Ah, sister.”

Maria, who was sipping hot coffee, got up quickly.

“Huh~”

“Oh, hello… .”

And Idney yawned for a long time following Maria, and Lee Na-young greeted her with a nervous expression on her face.

– Beep… .

Lastly, the fairy that was in Lee Na-young’s pocket rubbed Booth’s eyes, moved into Claire’s front pocket, and fell asleep with a sound of calm breathing again.

“We all watched a movie until dawn yesterday. Because Peep is so much fun… .”

“I’m here for a break, so there’s no need to say that.”

“lol… … .”

Maria smiled shyly and brushed aside Idni, who was still yawning. In just a little while, he was ready to hit his back.

“I’m playing.”

“Oh, I’m waiting for you in the parking lot.”

“Then let’s move.”

“Yep.”

Claire turned around first, followed by Maria with Idni and Lee Na-young’s arms crossed on either side.

“Hello!!”

When I opened the passenger seat door, Na Yeon-ju, who was holding the steering wheel, greeted me vigorously.

“I’m glad you look bright.”

“Everyone treats me so well, it’s so much fun!!”

“If someone bothers you, don’t worry and tell them.”

“Okay!!”

“And don’t talk too loud in the car.”

“Oh, sorry, sorry. lol.”

Yeonju Na scratched her cheek.

“Then we will depart for the Royal Academy.”

The scenery outside the window began to move smoothly.

– Hey, calm down.

– My mind is fine.

-aaa, please don’t push me… … .

He quietly smiled at the children whispering behind him and took out his smartphone.

[Me: Report. ]

[Lee Ye-Sol: It’s very, very quiet. finished watching. ]

[Lee Ye-Sol: I heard from Maria, but she said that she reserved a separate room for the children? (¬◡¬)✧ ]

Hwaaak.

The area under Claire’s neck was slightly red.

[Me: It’s noisy. If you don’t have anything to report, don’t contact us unnecessarily. ]

[Lee Ye-Sol: Whoa~ Don’t worry about the outside work and have a good time~ Ah! Don’t worry, the first servant of the god of love is still in Italy. ]

[Me: What do you mean worry about? ]

[Lee Ye-Sol: (★≧▽^))★☆ It’s time to pray in the morning, enough! ]

Claire frowned for a moment, then let out a small sigh and put the smartphone back in her arms.

The broadcasts of others ended as soon as the results of the confrontation came out, but the broadcasts connected to him even broadcast conversations with Ja Ae Shin.

And through the conversation a little while ago, I learned that Lee Ye-sol had also spied on the conversation with the same self-love god.

However, Lee Ye-sol’s worries went in the wrong direction.

-Ke, can’t you see it as sharing two secrets of Claire… ?

-I’ll think about it after I see it.

‘Damn you… … !!’

It was.

What Claire was truly worried about was not the first servant of the god of love, but her secrets that the god she served would sell out for her own comfort.

“Me, Executor?”

At Na Yeon-joo’s call, Claire brushed off her thoughts.

“… Outside, call me sister.”

“ah! Yep, sister!!”

“So, what happened?”

Na Yeon-ju scratched her cheek at Claire’s question.

“Well, it seems like there was an accident in front of me. At this rate, I think I might miss the beginning and start watching the middle.”

“Okay.”

“Yeah, we only have to watch one game anyway.”

Maria stuck out her face and helped Claire.

“Then turn on the radio. Listen to the relay.”

“Ah, I see!”

Yeonju Na turned on the radio and tuned in to the channel.

[The confrontation from the beginning is not unusual. ]

[ That’s right. Strong candidates for the championship, First Academy and Arena Academy, are fighting from the beginning. ]

The party listened to the radio and focused on their own tasks.

“What are you looking at?”

“Battle Prediction Dividend.”

“… What did you do, you were betting money yesterday?”

“hehehe, how did you know the money when the result was obvious?”

Maria looked at Idni’s smartphone and sighed.

“No matter how much Professor Baek helped me, does the tradition make sense?”

“conflict!! this ungodly bitch! How dare you not trust Professor Baek!! sister!! He doesn’t trust Professor Baek!!”

“noisy.”

“… … yes.”

Edney quickly shut his mouth at the cool gaze reflected in the rearview mirror.

“Don’t ask for a bite later.”

“… Don’t ask me to lend you money later.”

“Me, it seems like it would be a little difficult for me to win all of them… .”

“Nayoung. This older sister has picked a big one and will buy you one of the ingredients you want, so be quiet.”

“Uh, uh, yes!!”

When I heard that I was going to buy the ingredients, Lee Na-young nodded quickly with her eyes twinkling.

[Ah, the moment I speak, the students who will have their first confrontation come on stage! ]

Klopp.

Idney swallowed and began to focus on the radio.
