Episode 32 It’s
10:00 PM when going out is prohibited.
However, Kim Eun-ah left the dorm and headed to the first floor. So Hae-jeong, who was guarding the lobby, frowned at Kim Eun-ah.
“What kind of sudden action is this? You can’t go out after the lights are out…”
“I got permission.”
However, Kim Eun-ah interrupted So Hae-jeong and smiled leisurely. On the contrary, So Hae-jeong was dumbfounded by her confident appearance.
“what?”
“Well, tell me a few times. I’ve been given permission. to the principal.”
“…principal?”
Tring!
A cell phone that just makes a sound. So Hae-jeong checked her phone with a puzzled face.
[Jin Byeong-cheol: Student Eun-ah has very urgent business. just let it go I gave permission, so don’t bother!]
The principal, Jin Byung-cheol, also received a message through a personal text message, not the school’s messenger.
“…I told you that earlier.”
Kim Eun-ah muttered in a voice mixed with annoyance, then smiled as she looked at the minesweeper.
“Then can I go?”
So Hae-jeong laughed as if she was full of energy at Kim Eun-ah’s actions.
“…under.”
It was thanks to the Shinsung Group’s support that school exams could be held in a huge theme park, and since Gaon Academy is receiving tremendous support from the Shinsung Group, Jin Byeong-cheol’s permission was understandable.
However, So Hae-jung did not like Kim Eun-ah’s attitude very much.
“okay. With the principal’s permission, you can go. Because that’s the rule. But…”
So Hae-jung added in a cold voice.
“Are you really spoiled?”
But instead of being frightened, Kim Eun-ah responded leisurely.
“It’s okay if you don’t have that. Because I have a lot of money.”
Eunah Kim walked toward the lobby without looking back. Then, a tall bodyguard who came out to meet me opened the door to the lobby.
“miss. The limousine is ready.”
Let the bodyguard in his mid-twenties greet you politely. Kim Eun-ah tilted her head as if something was disapproving.
“Oh yes. But it’s embarrassing to go out together, so take off your sunglasses at night.”
With those words, Kim Eun-ah and her bodyguard disappear. Haejeong So, the teacher in charge, sighed as she touched her forehead.
“…That’s cheap.”
* * *
Busan. Metro Hospital.
Kim Eun-ah stopped the guard following her in the hallway and said firmly.
“Hey, don’t ever come in.”
Kim Eun-ah frowned in advance as if in fear. Until now, no one had been forced into the hospital room, but Kim Eun-ah always asked for it.
“yes.”
Let the bodyguards respond in a familiar way. Kim Eun-ah put her pass card at the entrance.
Gying!
A 50-pyeong room with a thick door that opens automatically. It was a luxurious facility like a hotel, but the atmosphere was extremely chilly.
Kim Eun-ah looked at the hospital room and smiled bitterly. As usual, I turned on the orange light and watered the vase on the window sill.
Kim Eun-ah, who entered the hospital room, was skillful in all her actions.
It was worth it. It has been two years since Kim Eun-ah stopped by the hospital. It was by no means a short time.
Kim Eun-ah is near the window.
To be precise, I approached the bed in the hospital room.
I saw a man lying unconscious on the bed.
“I’m here.”
Kim Eun-ah, sitting in a chair, said calmly.
The man had no answer. The opponent was a first-class patient who could run out of control without the power of the circulation stone installed in the machine.
Kim Eun-ah calmly told the story, as if she was familiar with the current situation.
“I’m taking this test in Busan?”
Her older brother Kim Jun-hyeok is 11 years old.
It was 10 years ago when my younger sister Kim Eun-ah was 7 years old. Kim Eun-ah recalled the faded memory and spat it out calmly.
“…the place where we played in the water together. I almost died then.”
But even those old memories were as vivid to Kim Eun-ah as if they were yesterday.
[You were surprised at that shallow place. It almost got into trouble.]
[Gup! Whoops! Like this… oops! It’s deep! I didn’t know… I mean!]
[Is the pool water deep or shallow for a 7-year-old? And I lived, but why are you crying? Originally, tears are shed when you die.]
Really stupid and strange consolation.
Kim Eun-ah smiled involuntarily as she recalled that time 10 years ago.
Now, as her older brother, Kim Jun-hyeok, said, Kim Eun-ah did not cry like before.
‘…why.’
Kim Eun-ah has always been a question since that day two years ago. Why did Kim Jun-hyeok, the older brother, take dangerous stimulants?
At least until Kim Jun-hyeok woke up, Kim Eun-ah did not know the correct answer. There was only one thing Kim Eun-ah could do.
To keep his position as the successor of the Holy Group as strong as he is now.
In order not to be looked down upon by hyenas, Kim Eun-ah had to become stronger than anyone else.
I was holding on well to my brother who will happen someday. I don’t give my heart to anyone in order to speak confidently. He had to wear the toughest armor.
“…Then I go.”
Jiing.
Let the vibration ring at 11:00. Eunah Kim turned to the exit and opened her mouth.
“…Come back quickly when you’re done resting. Because the vacancy will be kept only for that time.”
Kim Eun-ah, who was talking, had a cold nose for no reason. But it wasn’t strange. A strong person could not always be strong. Even if you feel sad for a while, you can become strong again.
Close your eyes and take a short deep breath.
Jiying.
The door opened, and Kim Eun-ah, who had cleaned everything up, came out of the hospital room. Kim Eun-ah said in a cold voice to the bodyguard who looked down on her.
“…I’m tired. Let’s go back quickly.”
Kim Eun-ah, who came out of the hospital room, was the same as usual.
* * *
A place lined with all kinds of large rides.
Students from Class F and Class D were lining up near the merry-go-round.
30 students from Class F.
30 students in Class D.
Minesweeper opened her mouth after guessing the number of students on both sides.
“Then let me explain the rules again before the exam begins.”
Let the minesweeper touch the air.
Saaak!
[1st grade opposition rules]
1. If the supply barrier is broken, you will be excluded from the test and have to move to the waiting room.
2. If you eliminate the leader, you will get extra points.
3. Students with severe injuries will be transported for treatment.
4. The use of hunter supplies and artifacts is a maximum of 2 per class.
A hologram floated above the students’ pockets. After reading the rules, class president Park Ha-won looked at Shin Yoo-seong across the street and muttered.
“Limited to 2 artifacts….”
Best variable for this exam.
Class F possessed as many as two artifacts that could change the battlefield even if only one was present. Of course, Park Ha-won also packed hunter supplies in his pocket, but it was nothing compared to class F’s artifacts.
So Hae-jeong opened her mouth again after the students checked.
“And this is the victory condition for the villain team.”
The following 3 victory conditions for Villain Team (Class D) are:
1. Capture the Hunter team’s base.
2. Keep the hostage for 1 hour.
3. Take down the leader of the hunter team.
Let the hologram float on the pocket again. Park Ha-won shook his head.
‘First of all, if Shin Yoo-seong vacates the base, it might be possible.’
1 and 2 times. If you briefly classify the victory conditions, from the position of D class, number 1 is an attack. 2 was defensive.
Originally, it was easy to take the F class’s base, but the problem was the existence of a powerful new meteor.
‘When Shin Yuseong is away, take away the base. Or you have to keep our hostages.’
Park Ha-won shook his head.
Since the only person to check was Shin Yoo-seong, the answer was simple.
“As I said before, the personnel are torn in half and moved.”
Park Ha-won laid down the strategy to hide from the attacking team. When Shin Yuseong came to take the hostage, he planned to occupy the base of Class F at that time.
However, if Shin Yoo-seong did not come out, it was the victory of Class D, who kidnapped the hostages for an hour.
“Don’t even think about aiming for the third time. Because that is a complete monster.”
After Park Ha-won’s briefing,
Kang Min-soo, the class president’s right-hand man, warned in a soft voice.
“I will not forgive you for acting alone. Never attack Shin Yoo-seong alone.”
Shin Yoo-seong reigned in D-class as fear itself. Considering Shin Yoo-seong’s performance, it was natural.
After checking the victory conditions for class D to some extent. Sohaejeong opened her mouth again.
“The next thing to check is the victory condition of the Hunter team.”
The following 3 victory conditions for the Hunter Team (Class F) are:
1. Defend the Hunter team’s base.
2. Rescue a kidnapped hostage and keep it for 1 hour.
3. Take down the leader of the villain team.
Shin Yuseong checked the hologram and looked at Sumire. The plan to win the F Peninsula had already been planned.
Class F had a trump card that Class D couldn’t even imagine.
Shin Yuseong turned his gaze and looked at Sumire. Even Sumire, who was always timid, nodded vigorously today.
“Leave it to me!”
It was clear that Class D would do everything in their power to stop Yuseong Shin, a rookie and number 7 who appeared in Class F.
But Sumire’s situation was different.
Even though she achieved the number 7 in the exam, Class D and other students were very strong, and Sumire thought she was just lucky.
Perhaps it was a natural reaction. Because Sumire was weak enough to remain in last place even in class F.
However, Sumire with Shin Yoo-seong’s hair was a different story.
A skeleton that mimics Shin Yuseong’s ability by about 30%. And Sumire, a necromancer, had even obtained an undead enhancement artifact from the dungeon.
Although it has F-class characteristics, it uses its full potential.
“okay. I will believe you.”
Let Shin Yoosung speak in a friendly voice. Sumire’s ears gradually turned red.
‘Mr. Shin Yoo-seong… trust me?’
Sumire lowered her head, and her lips twitched involuntarily. Sumire’s eerie smile was several times higher than usual.
“Is everyone ready?”
Let leader Shin Yoo-seong speak. The students of Class F gave a brilliant answer like one.
“yes!”
It was a courtesy to the leader who gave strength for a short period of time. So Hae-jeong narrowed her eyes as she saw it.
‘…The F class was famous for being unmotivated, but the unity is amazing?’
Shin Yoo-seong was leading the students of Class F, who were about to die, with charisma.
‘Being strong is not the end. Does it have the qualities of a party leader?’
So Hae-jung liked Shin Yoo-seong.
I don’t know Shin Yoo-seong, but there was a reason why people followed someone.
‘That kid must have something that grabs the other students.’
Because it was a test for class F, the mine slayer, which I didn’t have high expectations for, piqued my interest. It was decided to watch Shin Yoo-seong’s performance.
“Students with high performance, such as special missions, are subject to the teacher’s judgment. Bonuses are measured by your personal score. Then…”
The minesweeper raised her arm and announced the start to the students.
“Now, let’s start the anti-war exam.”
Tring!
[600 seconds]
[599 seconds]
Soon, the hologram in the pocket counted down 10 minutes. A short peace of 10 minutes given to students.
The opposition was the first team event for Shin Yoo-seong.
‘…The national competition is also a team competition.’
There was no better stage to test one’s qualities.
