Chapter 374
Two Islands.
one altar.
I definitely thought that the place where Glass Heart was would be followed by strict security, but there was only one Hunter guarding the altar.
“hi! Oh~ My Eun-ah came today without a bodyguard or secretary? Do you feel confident in your skills now?”
The one smiling brightly is Lee Chae-hyeon from Class S. Yeah, how could I forget that fucking face and the expression I want to beat?
“…I’m sorry, but I’m not in the mood for a joke. Move.”
Kim Eun-ah asked in a calm tone to keep her cool. Since what was at stake now was Velvet’s safety, I couldn’t make the same mistake as then.
“Why are you so cold? You still remember that time, don’t you?”
First of all, Kim Eun-ah did not react to Lee Chae-hyun’s provocation by bringing up the previous work.
[So let’s take this opportunity to fix that fiery personality. You can’t even use your powers when you’re angry~ It’s all for you. Okay?]
How about provoking yourself to win the test?
[…That’s right, when you see him running rampant like a gorilla. Wouldn’t your proud brother hate it? …ah! That’s right.]
[Did he say he was still in a coma? Great. Then I won’t be able to see you.]
How about touching Kim Eun-ah’s biggest wound without hesitation and even sprinkling salt on it? It’s very annoying, but that’s just the past, and Kim Jun-hyeok has already woken up in the hospital room.
The important thing right now was Velvet, who had been deprived of mana by Shin Ha-yoon and was struggling to sleep, gasping for breath.
“Are you helping Shin Ha-yoon knowing what you’re doing?”
Lee Chae-hyun found Kim Eun-ah’s reaction interesting. It seemed that he had grown quite a bit in just one year, to say that he was not swayed by clear provocations and tried to persuade himself first.
“I don’t know. But the interests were aligned. I want to look good to the president, and the president just needed a hand.”
No matter how much it was, I couldn’t let go of Shin Ha-yoon’s request. Lee Chae-hyun thought so. If it was Shin Ha-yoon he knew, he would never forgive a traitor.
No matter what Kim Eun-ah said, she had no intention of giving up. A girl from a noble chaebol family he knows would threaten and threaten Shinsung Group as a last resort, but Lee Chae-hyun’s mind was already set.
‘The president’s side is much more scary.’
Shin Ha-yoon’s revenge is on a different level.
Anyone who saw Shin Ha-yoon’s bloody atmosphere at the student council would agree.
“I don’t have a background like you or a popular party member. …That’s why you have to stick to the president’s side even more. No matter what words you coax or threaten…”
However, Kim Eun-ah’s next action made Lee Chae-hyun hard.
“…I’ll ask you like this.”
Eunah Kim bowed her head.
If she fought in a real battle, not a test, she was stronger than Lee Chae-hyun, had a background in Shinsung Group that Lee Chae-hyun did not have, and Kim Eun-ah, who was always like an unlucky princess, was bowing her head.
“Give me back the things on the altar. It’s something I… really need.”
I was really sincere and earnestly asking Lee Chae-hyun.
“Kim Eun-ah. You…”
Lee Chae-hyun was embarrassed.
Even if it’s an artifact, at most a piece of glass containing mana, why is it that the heir of the Shinsung Group bows his head with a desperate face?
“Yes, why are you… doing this?”
This time, it was Lee Chae-hyun’s turn to ask. I asked why a modern princess who could get anything she wanted could bow her head, bending her personality that never tolerated the slightest touch on her pride.
“Because I don’t want to regret it. I know myself well.”
Kim Eun-ah looked up and saw Lee Chae-hyun.
“I… I’m not that strong. If someone dear to me gets hurt, I can never smile and pass it over. Even if you pretend to be okay on the outside… you’ll keep blaming yourself and thinking about it.”
Lee Chae-hyun scratched her cheek shyly at Kim Eun-ah’s unexpected attitude.
“…then do you cry sometimes?”
This was just a joke, but Kim Eun-ah nodded.
“I’m curious… Eun-ah, the way you cry.”
Just a while ago, I tried to block it somehow, but what is this subtle feeling that slowly rises from a corner of my heart?
“No, I’m not kidding… I thought it would be cute when I thought about it.”
“…will you give it to me?”
Lee Chae-hyun secretly looked at Kim Eun-ah. Seeing Kim Eun-ah gathering her hands, no matter how desperate she was for this job, I felt really strange.
Lee Chae-hyun sighed and exhaled a long breath. When Kim Eun-ah came out like this, she was a strong enemy in a different sense.
“…I thought he would act like a prickly cat, but he came out like this. You don’t feel like saying no.”
Lee Chae-hyun, who went up to the altar, took out the glass heart. It was divided into 7 pieces, so there wasn’t much mana left.
“You know? The most important piece is with the president.”
“…huh. know. Yooseong is gone.”
Kim Eun-ah, noticing that he was trying to give her a glass heart, approached with gunfire. Lee Chae-hyeon raised her index finger and said “uh-huh” to stop Kim Eun-ah.
“I should have a remedy too. The President will never forgive traitors. If they knew I just handed it over to you, would they try to kill me?”
Lee Chae-hyun sighed again. It is a very risky thing to pay off the debt of provocation in the exam.
What Lee Chae-hyun was trying to do now was to choose a share in Shin Yoo-seong instead of Shin Ha-yoon, as if it were a kind of investment.
For this investment to be calculated correctly, at least it made sense if the winner of this fight had to be Shin Yoo-seong, not Shin Ha-yoon.
“Kim Eun-ah, do you… really believe that Shin Yoo-seong can defeat the chairman?”
It would be funny to ask a party member Kim Eun-ah about this, but Lee Chae-hyun has already seen a miracle.
The name of the miracle is ‘Kim Eun-ah’s apple’ and ‘Kim Eun-ah’s growth’ as a human being.
A miracle that happened shortly after entering Shin Yoo-seong’s party. Shin Yoo-seong, who showed such a miracle, seemed to have a possibility.
“I heard that you attacked the Ice Witch. But the president is more than that. I don’t know how far the limit is… not even the people around me, let alone other people.”
At Lee Chae-hyun’s words, Kim Eun-ah smiled softly. Kim Eun-ah would quickly forget any uninteresting story, but she still vividly remembered Shin Yoo-seong’s past at the cafe.
“Anyone can make people follow by force. But Yooseong is different. The reason we remain by Yooseong’s side… is because we sincerely want to be together.”
Lee Chae-hyun, who was looking at Eun-ah Kim with interest, moved her gaze to the piece of glass on her palm.
What remains in the glass heart is only a fraction, but a huge amount of mana. If you use it like an artifact, it’s not impossible to confront Kim Eun-ah head-on.
So this is really your own choice. Between Shin Yoo-seong and Shin Ha-yoon, who will win and whose side will stick?
However, the scale, which had been taut, tilted due to Kim Eun-ah. It’s been like killing it, but it’s good to be close to the same grade.
“It is like a confession. Kim Eun-ah, do you think Shin Yoo-seong is stronger?”
“trust me. I have a strangely good sense of it.”
Kim Eun-ah nodded and Lee Chae-hyun let out another long sigh.
“Now take it.”
Poof –
Lee Chae-hyun handed over the glass heart to Kim Eun-ah. They said that life is not knowing the future, but I never thought I would reconcile with Kim Eun-ah in this way after coming to help the president.
“Because I don’t want to be labeled a traitor. Knock me down with your electricity.”
Kim Eun-ah’s electric attack, which she had to face from now on, must be the price. Lee Chae-hyun spread both hands wide.
“…thank you.”
Holding the glass heart in her hand, Kim Eun-ah smiled. Lee Chae-hyeon’s heart was relieved when she saw her pretty smile on her face, which was just about to die.
“Thank you. What I want to do is invest, not play childish friendship.”
“huh. I will not forget.”
Kim Eun-a pointed her index finger like a gun and took a stance. I decided to use the most powerful technique so that Shin Ha-yoon would never suspect Lee Chae-hyun as a traitor.
“Orca-!”
Flashes towards Kim Eun-ah who started the engine! Lightning struck. The electricity absorbed from the body condensed at the tip of the index finger and was charged like a bullet.
“Thank you for trusting me. I am resting!”
Lee Chae-hyun felt something strange.
It just meant to shoot electricity in moderation, like a play, but Kim Eun-ah seemed to be loading a special move with some kind of pitching.
‘What is that?’
Why doesn’t this lady from the conglomerate family not know the word ‘moderately’? I have a lot of form, but it’s no use asking me to stop at this point.
“You will never doubt it!”
Watching the electric killer whale land on Kim Eun-ah’s index finger, Lee Chae-hyun thought.
‘That’s right, I wouldn’t doubt it. If you hit it, you’ll die.’
Kurreung-!
I thought it was already enough, but the dark cloud, which I don’t know when it was created, sent down one more lightning bolt toward Kim Eun-ah.
“Full charge-!”
I thought we had reconciled at best, but I wonder if there is any remnant left. Lee Chae-hyun asked Kim Eun-ah.
“…are you trying to kill me over there?”
bang-!
However, Kim Eun-ah fires a special technique called ‘orca’ from the tip of her index finger for a question and answer dance. Yellow and blue electricity wrapped around each other and passed Lee Chae-hyun’s side at a speed that humans couldn’t possibly react.
Gee-! thud!
Lee Chae-hyeon collapsed on the spot while looking at the altar that had been erased without shape after being hit by the ‘orca’.
thump!
Growth far exceeded Lee Chae-hyun’s expectations. The current Kim Eun-ah was a completely different person from Kim Eun-ah, who was defeated in the counter-resistance. It wasn’t a dramatic growth like Sumire, who became number 7 from an inferior student, but she continued to grow unbelievably while Lee Chae-hyun didn’t see it.
‘Was this guy this strong…’
Lee Chae-hyun swallowed as she looked at the neatly erased altar. Maybe taking the side of Kim Eun-ah and Shin Yoo-seong instead of Shin Ha-yoon…
‘This might be the
correct answer…’ I didn’t know.
