“Lee Hyun-seong. Are you nice today? It’s the first time I’ve seen you fuse with a summoned beast.”

While having a meal with Baek So-ah at a restaurant.

A handsome blond man sat down next to me and spoke to me in a friendly way.

It’s a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of

“To be precise, it’s not fusion, it’s possession. After all, that’s what it is.”

“Oh yeah? Anyway, it was amazing! Won’t I also develop the skill to possess a summoned beast?”

This guy’s name is Han Seok-ho.

A novel read by the main character, Kim Soo-han.

He is the main character of ‘Academy’s Searcher’, and it is a role that takes away all kinds of opportunities. Even the girlfriend he dates later gets NTRed by Kim Soo-han.

And he was the person I liked and supported the most.

It left a deep impression on me to see them steadfastly develop and move forward despite all kinds of adversity. I felt pity for Kim Soo-han taking everything I did.

For your information, Han Seok-ho did not get a new beast summoner, but entered the academy and received the only awakening stone.

Picture Summoner.

A job that creates summoned beasts by summoning a huge brush and drawing in the air.

Unfortunately, the evaluation of Grim Summoner was not good.

As the strength of the summoner is determined based on the individual summoner’s drawing skills, it would have been a winning job for someone who worked in the art field…

The problem was that Han Seok-ho was a serious shithead.

So the ranking is also 50th.

“Han Seok-ho. Aren’t you planning on going to art academy?”

“yes? Suddenly, what kind of art academy?”

“Your job is like that.”

“hahahaha. I thought you weren’t interested in men, but I’m surprised. But don’t worry. It’s not like I can’t draw.”

Even more problematic is that he knows how to draw well.

“yes? It’s strange. Just looking at it, it seems like you’re not good at drawing.”

“uh? What are you talking about?”

“I know a little about one of my acquaintances, a contemplative. Your contemplation is seriously contemplation that you can’t draw.”

Of course, there are no contemplative acquaintances.

There was one reason why he made a realistic point out even while adding a lie.

If I grow up, there is a possibility that Han Seok-ho will become a target of a terrorist group.

Because we are the only two students who have a summoner job and are in the bottom ranks.

because of me,

I don’t want to pass my unhappiness on to others.

“Contemplation…. All of that is superstition. I draw pretty well.”

“Then draw it now.”

“now? I don’t have paper and pens, so right now… I can’t summon a brush here.”

Baek So-ah, who had been listening to our conversation, stopped biting at the side dishes and took out a notebook and a pen from her pocket and handed them to Han Seok-ho.

“write. I will lend you.”

“uh? oh thank you.”

Han Seok-ho was handed a notebook and pen with a bewildered expression.

He looked into my eyes a little.

I grabbed the pen and scrawled quickly on the paper.

A short time of less than 1 second.

The picture is complete.

Grim Summoner’s skill.

It was the effect of speed drawing.

“ruler!”

Han Seok-ho proudly shows me his notebook.

“…”

I knew it.

It is a picture without words.

You are a great Picasso.

Was Baek So-ah curious?

I got up with my hands on the table, leaned out and checked the picture.

“Come on. Are you serious?”

The reaction is quite understandable.

It’s to the point where I can’t help but sigh.

A face like steamed buns and a body like an earthworm.

And 4 sticks attached to the body.

That stick is probably a leg.

Let’s see it in the best possible way.

It seems to have drawn a quadrupedal animal.

Is it a fantasy species?

“Han Seok-ho, you. It wasn’t to this extent when painting with a brush. Apparently, the summons looked fine.”

Baek So-ah spoke as if she did not understand.

Of course.

Even if you draw like that, you will be corrected and summoned.

Instead, the ability is markedly reduced.

Plus.

A painting drawn in the air with a brush turns into a summoned beast as soon as it is completed, so it is impossible to tell whether the drawing was done well or not in the eyes of others.

Because of my speed drawing skill, I can’t even check the middle process.

Hearing the harsh criticism, Han Seok-ho looked shocked and checked his painting again.

“Gwa, aren’t you okay?”

Are the eyes knotholes?

I need to make you realize the reality.

“you. Haven’t you ever shown a drawing on plain paper to anyone other than a summoned beast?”

“It is, but…”

“Show it to your friends and go. It will be the same reaction as us.”

The conversation was cut short.

It’s like a haunted house atmosphere.

Originally, Han Seok-ho would realize this around the middle of the story.

Even if you leave it alone, it will grow on its own, but before that, you could suffer damage because of me, so it was moral to give you some help in advance.

“Thank you for the advice… Art academy… I’ll find out.”

Han Seok-ho took the tray, got up from his seat, and trudged away.

To be dull.

Even I had finished eating.

Baek So-ah’s eating speed was slow, so I decided to wait at my seat.

I bought a meal ticket, but I can’t get up first.

I was transferring the leftovers to the soup bowl.

“By the way, Hyunseong Lee, you have a good eye, don’t you? The more you look at it, the more attractive it is.”

Baek So-ah filled her mouth with rice and spoke with a murmur.

What is the reverse attraction?

Anyone who sees it will know that I have a crush on you.

Instead of answering with an awkward smile.

Baek So-ah must have noticed that I had finished eating and was waiting, so she stopped eating and put the tableware down.

“Let’s get up. I ate them all too.”

“You can eat slowly.”

“done. I’m full.”

So they got up at the same time.

“hit. It’s the weekend tomorrow, what are you doing?”

“Tomorrow? What… are you going to explore the dungeon?”

For some reason Baek So-ah’s eyes were curved like crescent moons.

Then he raised a corner of his mouth and said.

“I want to go there too.”

It was a one-sided notification, not a request or a question.

There is nothing that can’t be done…

What on earth are you approaching me like this?

Because of taking ownership of the dungeon?

no. If you are the daughter of the president of the association, you will have enough financial resources.

I’m not doing this just for the money.

It’s burdensome to keep getting entangled like this, but I can’t force them apart.

It was a time when I was making an unpleasant face.

“What. Come on?”

“······no.”

Your face is brutal

It’s a vicious expression, as if you were dipping a person into a drum and casually pouring cement into it.

It’s a behavior I don’t understand at all.

“…do as you please.”

once accepted.

Let’s think good.

You can prepare for unexpected situations, and that’s not bad.

***

reason or

He was Lee Hyun-sung’s childhood friend.

Now, a woman who can be said to be inferior to others.

She thought while chewing on bread at the canteen inside the academy.

By the time Lee Yu-na was 14 years old.

Due to family circumstances, I had to move to another area.

Even after that, I kept in touch with Lee Hyeon-seong, but did they say that when the body gets farther away, the mind also gets farther away?

Contact is getting less frequent.

The relationship rapidly deteriorated.

I thought our relationship with each other was over.

‘I didn’t expect to see you again at the academy.’

The reunion after 6 years was not as pleasant as expected.

Was it a correction of childhood memories?

I couldn’t see Lee Hyun-seong, my childhood friend, even after washing my eyes.

The impression gets worse.

His debauchery has reached its peak, he is always drinking alcohol and is tired of women, and the king of indolence who does not even try even though he is ranked 60th.

The blessing of 5 cost was almost a waste.

‘I even confessed out of the blue.’

He said that we didn’t like each other when we were young, and even clung to each other grossly, mentioning our old relationship.

It was embarrassing.

The fact that he was a childhood friend with Lee Hyun-sung.

Also confessed in front of people.

Even the fact that you are having a conversation.

everything was embarrassing

‘If it wasn’t for Soo-han, I’d still be fooling around.’

Did you count your own heart?

Kim Soo-han took measures to prevent Lee Hyun-sung from approaching him again.

‘It was a bit harsh, but… Lee Hyun-seong was the first to do something wrong.’

It’s cheap even if it happens.

He refused to confess and politely asked not to pretend to know.

Even so, it was unpleasant to keep talking to him pretending to be friendly.

Of course, vulgar and s*xual jokes,

Even blatantly looking at the chest or buttocks with a sinister gaze.

I’ll get over that, but…

eventually crossed the line.

Did you get drunk that day?

He grabbed his arm and cursed at him, yelling at him not to disrespect him.

Being intoxicated was not something that could be tolerated.

Self-confidence for overdoing it.

Even if he was severely beaten, everything was just Lee Hyun-sung’s karma.

Reason I thought so.

But seeing Lee Hyeon-seong, who has recently changed.

My heart ached little by little.

‘I confessed to So Ah and Han Bit. Of course, I thought he confessed to me like it would only take one shot…’

Could Lee Hyun-sung’s change be because of himself?

I thought and thought about it, but it seemed to be right.

The timing fit perfectly.

After being openly humiliated by Kim Soo-han in front of the students, Lee Hyun-sung’s transformation began shortly thereafter.

‘Perhaps. Did you really confess to me?’

Confessing and being dumped is resentful.

I was ashamed of being embarrassed in front of the students.

Still, I can’t forget myself.

Because I can’t shake off the lingering feelings.

Maybe he’s trying to confess again with a different look?

Looking back at Lee Hyun-sung’s actions today, it seemed right.

When I looked back in the morning class.

‘He was looking at me. I hurriedly avoided them when they made eye contact.’

And when Lee Hyeon-seong won in Dalian.

‘At that time, he was definitely looking at me as if he was showing off. As if dedicating the victory of the couple to me.’

I felt an unknown feeling.

It even made my heart ache for no reason.

‘Lee Hyun-seong. you really liked me . . . Are you going to confess again soon?’

Lee Yu-na’s mind became complicated.

What if I really confess again?

Now that I realized that Lee Hyun-seong’s heart was not a joke, but sincerity, I felt sorry for coldly rejecting him.

‘…but I can’t date you out of pity. Either do it well from the beginning, why come now…’

That was the reason I was deep in thought.

***

towards the end of lunchtime.

On the outside of the dome where the sparring arena is located, Kim Soo-han lit a cigarette and exhaled smoke.

“I want you to quit smoking.”

The sky-blue haired woman standing in front of me with her arms folded widened her eyes and widened her eyes.

Her name is Cha Yu-ra.

Ranked 2nd in Academy Ranking.

Freezing Guild, one of the three largest guilds in Korea.

It was a woman who was the only daughter of the guild leader there.

Kim Soo-han didn’t pay attention to Cha Yoo-ra’s nagging and talked while holding a cigarette.

“Stop nagging. Didn’t you forget what I said earlier?”

“If Lee Hyun-sung confesses, ask me to tell you? But why is he confessing to me?”

“Baeksoo. Seohanlight. reason or You confessed to all three of them.”

Because in the novel, it was your turn next.

I couldn’t say that, so I decided to look around.

“Of course you will be next. Because Lee Hyeon-seong confesses everything to pretty girls in his grade.”

“···yes? If that’s true, he’ll come to me too.”

Cha Yu-ra was positive to a certain extent.

I’ve never said it out of my mouth.

Because, deep down, he was proud of himself as the most beautiful woman in the academy.

Even so, I felt a bit uneasy.

Baek So-ah, a friend and rival, also confessed.

If he didn’t confess to himself, he would feel somehow defeated.

Baek So-ah, whether it’s her skills or her looks.

Because pride didn’t allow even one push.

“Anyway, if you receive a confession, don’t reject it right away, and contact me unconditionally. I’ll be there soon.”

“Why do you have to do that?”

“I’ll tell you later.”

“His future is…”

Kim Soo-han robs cigarettes.

I thought as I threw the butt on the floor.

Using that time as an excuse, I once again taught true education.

I need to find out why it has grown so rapidly unlike the original.

If there’s anything suspicious about it.

I made up my mind to get rid of it immediately.

Because sweet potatoes are an emissary.
