76 – Disciple (1)

student cafeteria.

Baek Hana, who finished eating the deep crimson-colored salmon bowl, put her spoon down and blinked.

“It ended well, but why are you so low on energy?”

“Okay, it’s over… ?”

Idni, who was swaying while eating, raised her eyes terrifyingly as if possessed by the undead.

“This was self-defense… … !!”

Idney tangles my hair and shouts.

Normally, Maria, who was sitting next to me, should have slapped her on the back, saying that she was embarrassing.

“Why, even me… ha ha ha… .”

The current Maria seemed to be struggling to even manage her own heart.

“demerit!! Yes, the penalty points are fine. Because you can do well in the future!! Going out or staying out? Be patient with this!! But… … .”

Idni, who had been shouting as if she was going to burst at any moment, muttered softly as she covered her face with her hands that were shaking her head.

“Banning games is too much… … .”

The two were ordered to ban the game through all electronic devices, including ‘The Guild’. And it was Lee Ye-sol, the superior of the two, who punished them like that, and their collaborator was Vuir, the god they worship.

Hana Baek said while putting the marshmallow she brought for dessert into her mouth.

“Yesterday, she said she liked it because she said she wasn’t punishing her.”

“… That’s why I was excited for a while because I came back to life.”

Edney sighed and raised his head again.

“But you seem to be in a strangely good mood since yesterday? He said he was banned from going out and staying out.”

“Mmm.”

Baek Ha-na chewed on the marshmallow and briefly remembered the events of yesterday.

A feeling that suddenly covered my forehead.

Normally, my body would react first before I even thought about it, but this time it didn’t.

Warm warmth and a friendly hand that slowly ascends and brushes through her hair. The warmth that went beyond the body and was deeply engraved in the heart only made the body and mind calm.

You can’t see it, but you can feel it.

That hand stroked his hair with affection as if comforting himself several times.

With just that, the feeling of depression that had been suppressing my body was gone. And the empty seat was filled with emotion and fullness that could not be replaced by anything.

Just thinking about it for a moment made my heart tremble again.

Baek Ha-na answered with the corner of her mouth trying to rise.

“Even if I can’t stay out all night, I can stop by at home.”

“… It’s not fair.”

Edney pursed his lips and grumbled.

“The white school that is only generous to one person—”

Awesome-!!

“… … ?!”

With a cool sound, Idney shuts her mouth and then drops her head while holding onto her back.

Looking down at the back of Idni’s head, Maria sighed.

“Please, how many times do I have to tell you to be careful with that snout? yes?”

Still, this morning, an official notice from the Disciplinary Committee from yesterday was uploaded and is attracting attention, but I can’t believe you are trying to talk about the relationship between Baek Ha-na and Baek Woo-jin in an open place like this.

Edney rubbed his sore back and straightened his bent back.

“Oh, I don’t know. The games were also blocked until the second year, so I know that because I’m going to live in the mansion this vacation!!”

“… Nope?”

Hana Baek answered with a serious expression, which is rare.

The fact that I had to share it with my sister, Claire, was still a bit awkward. But are there more people involved? That is absolutely unacceptable.

“Wow, look at that. In the old days, the kid who ran around asking me to come and play.”

“Yeah. That answer just hurt me a little too.”

Even Maria stepped in to help, but Baek Ha-na was still determined.

“I can’t. And your sister will be with you, will you still come?”

“uh. I’m going. You wouldn’t even care about us anyway.”

Through their experience, Maria and Idney realized a very surprising fact that Claire, their superior, does not scold or punish them when Baek Woo-jin is with them.

So the two concluded that spending time in a mansion that was pleasant, quiet, and even cozy was a million times better than spending time with Lee Ye-sol, who would rave over them during the vacation.

Contrary to what she had expected, Maria thought for a moment about Baek Ha-na’s reaction to the world’s resolute rejection of them, then put her hand around her mouth and whispered softly.

“Do you think you can play in the pool with the professor without us?”

“… … .”

Pool, water play, swimsuit.

Those three keywords quickly passed through Baek Ha-na’s head.

“Two days.”

“Four days.”

“… great.”

When Hana Baek nodded, Maria smiled in satisfaction, and Idni, who was next to her, also began to laugh, as if to shake off her depressed mood a little while ago.

“I… … .”

At that time, Nam Seo-hee, who was occupying another seat next to Baek Ha-na, asked.

“Am I okay too?”

The fact that he could spend time with Baek Ha-na during vacation was also important, but what Maria had just said was very powerful.

“Ah, you were also prohibited from going out or staying out.”

Idni said as if she had forgotten for a moment, and Nam Seo-hee nodded and waited for Baek Ha-na’s answer.

“Are you coming to see me?”

“uh? That, then.”

Baek Ha-na’s eyes narrowed for a moment, but she soon returned to her usual emotionless face and nodded. And.

“Nayoung, will you come too?”

“uh? Me too?”

“It is not compulsory.”

“No, no. me too go I want to go. yes.”

She planned to continue her research during the vacation, but Lee Na-young nodded without hesitation, thinking that if she visited Baek Ha-na’s house, she would be able to see the little fairy she had seen then.

“Then let’s get up.”

After confirming that the meal was finished, Idni said, and everyone stood up. On the way out after returning the plate I had.

“I am one… … .”

“yes?”

Baek Ha-na, who was on her way to take a martial arts class with Nam Seo-hee and Kang Han-na as a professor, stopped for a moment.

“Do you have something to say?”

“Oh, oh, no… See you later.”

“… … ?”

Baek Ha-na tilted her head for a moment, then nodded towards Lee Na-young, who smiled awkwardly.

“yes. See you later.”

The party dispersed for each class, and Hana Baek arrived at the training ground with Nam Seo-hee.

There was still time before class started, so the students were gathering and talking about various things.

-Did you see the notice today?

– What, expulsion?

– I thought you would ask, of course.

– I heard that both Jayden and Professor Hyuk Lee attended.

That time when I was relaxing for a while listening to the surrounding sounds with my sensitive hearing.

“One hundred and one.”

Today, Kang Seok-ho, who will become his Dalian opponent, is approaching.

In an instant, the noise around them disappeared.

It was a meeting that I would not have paid much attention to normally, but the reason was that the subject of interest changed due to the official letter that came up in the morning.

“Keuheum, how about we move for a while?”

“yes.”

When Baek Ha-na stood up, Nam Seo-hee hurriedly joined her and said.

“I go too.”

“uh? uh, yes.”

Kang Seok-ho shrugged his shoulders as if he didn’t care and took the two of them out of the arena. Then he moved to a slightly shady corner, confirmed that no one was there, and opened his mouth.

“… First of all, I am really sorry about what happened over the weekend.”

Kang Seok-ho bowed his head and apologized.

“It sounds like an excuse, but if we had known that, we would never have wrapped it around. And… I’m not asking for your understanding, but Juhee has a bit of a personality.”

“It’s not a dog car class.”

“… Isn’t that enough?”

Kang Seok-ho, who was trying to argue secretly to take the side of his fiancée, quickly averted his eyes as soon as he received Nam Seo-hee’s cold stare.

“Keuheum, I’m sorry that we suffered damage because of us.”

“It’s fine.”

The subject who harbored ill feelings had already been punished, so he did not feel any special feelings towards the rest of the students.

“Is that the end of the story?”

“No, there is one more. that is… .”

Kang Seok-ho lowered his body slightly, dragging his horse’s tail.

“There is, by any chance, the alchemist who made the potion the other day.”

Kang Seok-ho was forced to evaluate the self-reliance potion made by Lee Na-young by Baek Ha-na. And he was the one who personally experienced the potion’s efficacy more than anyone else.

“Did you say Lee Na-young?”

“uh. Why?”

“I was wondering if I could introduce myself.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

As soon as Kang Seok-ho finished speaking, Hana Baek and Nam Seo-hee’s eyes turned fierce. The two looked at Kang Seok-ho with a gaze as if they were looking at trash and said.

“With a fiancee… … .”

“Dog crap.”

Kang Seok-ho waved his hands in embarrassment at the sharp profanity of the two.

“Jam, I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding, but it’s not what you guys think!!”

“No, what is it? Garbage.”

“A horned bastard.”

“no… … .”

Kang Seok-ho said to the two of them with an expression of bewilderment and absurdity.

“I don’t know what the hell you are misunderstanding.

Then he took out his smartphone and opened a certain page and showed it to the two of them.

[Title: 1st Grade Grade Assessment Additional Items. ]

We will inform you that there are items added to the evaluation.

The new event is ‘crack attack’, which is a superpower and enhancement type. And non-combat occupations will work as a team.

Each team has a total of 4 players and must have a melee guard, melee dealer, marksman or support. Finally, it is made up of non-combat occupations… … .

“Did you read it?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

As the two made embarrassed faces, Kang Seok-ho put his smartphone in his arms and said.

“Because they say it’s good to form a team in advance. If you weren’t in a group with that alchemist named Lee Na-young, I was asking to be in the same group.”

Upon hearing that, Baek Hana realized why Lee Na-young had called her at the restaurant a while ago.

“therefore. Can you introduce me?”

At Kang Seok-ho’s question, Hana Baek took out her smartphone from her bosom and shook her head.

“no.”

I don’t know if it’s another classmate.

“You can’t.”

She did not want to entrust her friend to a weakling man whose only ability was to become a little hardened.

**

late evening.

“Are you here?”

“Yes. Master.”

Jaden realized that Baek Woo-jin did not mention the exact time after being beaten by his teacher.

Thanks to this, I was able to reschedule a proper appointment only after I had two humps on my head. And now, along with his teacher, he arrived in front of the building of the ‘old’ Alchemy Workshop just in time.

[Confirmed.]

As Jaden took the ring, the closed door opened wide.

“Let’s go up.”

“Heh heh, yes. See you later.”

The boy, Shawn, stepped into the building alone, leaving Jayden behind.

“I can’t feel anything.”

He tried to spread his magic to catch the traces of the person who invited him, but he couldn’t find any traces of his magic anywhere in the building, as if he hadn’t arrived yet.

“From what I’ve heard, you look pretty young.”

It was difficult to accurately determine her age as the bizarre glasses covered her eyes, but she said that she looked like she was in her late twenties, even if she looked at her exposed skin.

In fact, there would be no one in that age range, and just as Claire, who was in her late 30s, was still young like a woman who had just turned 20, it was clear that he too would have very noble magical powers in his body.

“It feels like my heart is beating for the first time in a long time.”

Sean opened the door to the warehouse located on the top floor, sincerely looking forward to meeting the person who had ignited his desire for exploration after 10 years.

“Hoo?”

Clearly, nothing was caught when the mana was spread.

By the way, the end of the warehouse.

At first glance, in front of the only window through which the moonlight penetrates, isn’t there a huge man standing with his back exposed?

I tried to spread the magic again, but I couldn’t feel anything. Even though you are looking at it with your own two eyes, this unfamiliarity is as if you are seeing a mirage.

‘Yes, if you are the one who created the barrier, you must never be ordinary!!’

From the first meeting, the client brought another desire for knowledge of himself.

Sean’s eyes, which had been watching the client, began to turn golden.

The moment when the slowly spreading light colored all parts.

【… … .]

【―――!!】

“Huh uh huh?!”

With a scream, the boy’s knees touched the floor.

Took, toduk.

Drops of dark red blood flowed down the hand that squeezed the eyes.

Terrible pain that came over me.

But not a single scream came out of his wide open mouth.

Dense darkness where nothing can be seen.

It was fully formed in the abyss.

“Ouch… … .”

Sean, who had been crouching, struggled to get up.

Drops of blood flowed non-stop from his hand, which was stained with dark red blood.

The time when the boy, whose face was stained with blood, licked his lips like a person shivering in the cold, and managed to let out his desire.

“I would have told you to do only what I told you to do.”

A voice mixed with subtle anger.

At that, the analyst swallowed the desire that rose to the top of his throat and threw his body back on his knees.

‘… Fuck you.’

Unable to find a way to resolve the client’s anger right away, he chose to faint for a moment.
