Episode 161
Gaon’s final evaluation exam is an important event that concludes the first year of the academy. Thanks to this, the final exams used to grow in scale like an annual event.
“…It’s our school, but it’s amazing. How much money do you have?”
Lee Chae-hyun looked down at the far-flung sea and said. Just looking at the large cruise I was borrowing, it was not the size of the funds to be used for the academy’s exam.
Lee Chae-hyun was also born as the daughter of the chairman of a small and medium-sized business and lived a wealthy life, but was surprised by Gaon’s spending.
“We are the people who will save the world. Of course.”
On the other hand, Min Seong-hyuk seemed to have gotten used to being treated by Gaon.
“Why are we called the Hunter powerhouse? It’s all thanks to the large size of the infrastructure for these hunters…
”
Let’s frown with Lee Chae-hyun’s expression. Min Seong-hyeok clears his throat with an embarrassed face and stops talking.
At that time, Lee Chae-hyun’s face brightened as if she had found someone.
“Oh, here it comes. Our partner!”
The figure walking from afar is none other than Shin Yuseong. Lee Chae-hyun often walked closer to Shin Yoo-seong and raised his thumb with a loud sound.
“I saw the broadcast. The battle against the British was really tough. Is it Lorelai? You beat a kid that easily?”
“You talk really…. without dignity…”
Min Seong-hyeok looked at him with an embarrassing face, but Shin Yoo-seong shook hands casually.
‘…They both had high grades in S class.’
Of course, even Lee Si-woo, who was regarded as a weakling, has shown great success in the national competition. Among the members of Class S, there was no student comparable to Shin Yoo-seong’s party members.
If Sumire, the necromancer, did her best, it would not be difficult to face the entire S class by herself.
The gap between students who simply lived school life and students who gained experience and artifacts in real life was huge.
Shin Yoo-seong is a freshman who is achieving the most unique growth among them.
Lee Chae-hyun looked at Shin Yoo-seong with a happy expression.
‘Certainly, if it’s on the level of Shin Yoo-seong, there’s nothing wrong with getting close.’
Lee Chae-hyun only allowed the next seat to people of the ‘level’ who matched with her. The reason why he hangs out with Seonghyuk Min in class S is because he has high grades and a good background like himself.
Lee Chae-hyun thought that if the opponent was Shin Yoo-seong, it would be worth getting close to.
“I~ I felt a lot while watching your game~ I was very happy when I heard that we were going to take the test together this time?”
Lee Chae-hyun approached Shin Yoo-seong. And Lee Chae-hyun looking up at Shin Yoo-seong with a single smile.
‘…That guy is starting again.’
Min Sung-hyuk sighed openly, but Lee Chae-hyun’s appeal to Shin Yoo-seong did not stop.
“Uh here… You, but your tie is a bit loose.”
Suk-Lee Chae-hyun tied her own tie while making eye contact with Shin Yoo-sung. Due to the height difference, even the slight lifting of the heels seemed proficient.
“thank you.”
However, with an expressionless face, except for short answers, Shin Yoo-seong’s attitude is so calm.
‘…but why is he so unresponsive?’
Most of the male students Lee Chae-hyun has met so far can only smile at her eyes. It was the kind of heart that opens in the eyes.
This is possible because most of the male students who aspire to become hunters have little experience with women due to busy training.
On the other hand, Shin Yoo-seong even gave him a tie himself, but there was too little reaction even if there was no reaction.
“So, do you want to have a meal together after the exam? Is it too date-like? …Seonghyeok and I are fine.”
Lee Chae-hyun put Shin Yoo-seong’s arm between his armpits. A kind of special move that has won all kinds of male students the OK sign so far.
“sorry. It must be hard because you are busy?”
However, Shin Yoo-seong refused this time again with an unapologetic face.
‘…isn’t this bastard eunuch?’
Even if it’s because he’s coming now, Lee Chae-hyun is in a situation where it’s hard to back down.
at that time.
Talk-!
“evil!”
Lee Chae-hyun, who was hit in the back of the head with a pebble-sized mana, screamed out loud. When I turned my head back, I saw Kim Eun-ah’s face looking at herself with a sad expression.
“Hey what are you doing? To someone else’s party leader.”
under-!
Lee Chae-hyeon snorted and then sneered at Kim Eun-ah without losing.
“Why can’t we get to know each other without a party? I am also your partner until this exam. And what are others doing?”
Lee Chae-hyun shrugged. Kim Eun-ah gathered mana on her index finger again.
Tung! Pak!
Then, he blew a manatan with a nightshade and hit Lee Chae-hyun’s forehead.
“evil! No, that crazy bitch!”
Angry Lee Chae-hyun shouted, revealing even the veins on his forehead. Kim Eun-ah poured the remaining beverage into her mouth and raised her middle finger to Lee Chae-hyun with the other hand.
“Don’t be clumsy. Will Yoosung pass over your face? I’d rather look in the mirror.”
Then, Kim Eun-ah narrows her eyes.
Unlike Kim Eun-ah’s yeojin appearance when she is with party members. It’s been a long time since I showed my old ferocious side.
“How is my face! And while I’m talking with Shin Yoo-seong, everything is meddling!?”
Let Lee Chae-hyun frown and stare. Eunah Kim was speechless.
“That’s…”
“Can’t Shin Yoo-seong give me some time when he has time?”
Saying that, let Lee Chae-hyun look at Shin Yoo-seong. Shin Yoosung calmly nodded his head.
Lee Chae-hyun is also a student at Gaon Academy. If he wasn’t busy, Shin Yoo-seong could have given him a little time.
“Then…”
Shin Yoo-seong tried to say something. Sensing a crisis, Kim Eun-ah quickly shouted.
“Yoo Yoo-seong is busy!”
As the commotion grows, the eyes around them gradually gather. Among the whispers, there were definitely people who doubted the relationship between Shin Yoo-seong and Kim Eun-ah.
Kim Eun-ah’s ambiguous attitude certainly raised a lot of room for suspicion.
And it was none other than Lee Chae-hyun who reacted sharply to Kim Eun-ah’s appearance.
“Huh~ Ahh~ I see~”
Lee Chae-hyun was smiling leisurely at Kim Eun-ah’s face with a suddenly relaxed face.
“Kim Eun-ah. Do you have a cute corner? Hopefully I’ve been a bit stuck. Jealousy…”
Flash!
A flash of light as Eunah Kim kicked the shelf. Before they knew it, the figures of the two disappeared from the cruise.
Min Seong-hyeok looked at Shin Yoo-seong only then and shook his head.
“Seeing that even the student president showed interest in you… Oh. You are popular like this and that.”
Min Sung-hyeok did not know that Shin Yoo-sung and Shin Ha-yoon were from the same Shin-oh family. So, in a way, Min Sung-hyuk’s reaction was natural.
Min Seong-hyeok is also a member of the Hunter Club, but Shin Ha-yoon was the first to show interest in Shin Yoo-seong.
“If it’s about the student council president. I don’t want to.”
However, this time Shin Yoo-seong cut off the story first. Min Seong-hyuk looked at the distant sea for a while and then slowly opened his mouth.
“I don’t know what happened, but… it’s better not to set an edge on the student president.”
Min Sung-hyuk sighed again before continuing.
“Shin Yuseong. I’m not ignoring you You’re strong and the world is paying attention, but you’re a promising person. There’s something about him that you don’t know…”
These were Min Seong-hyeok’s words for Shin Yoo-seong. The members of the Hunter Club were not afraid of Shin Ha-yoon’s strength.
Except for Lee Hyuk, most of the members did not even see the ‘real power’ hidden by Shin Ha-yoon.
What they are afraid of is Shin Ha-yoon’s ability, which is hard to believe for a high school student. And he was charismatic.
If you defy yourself.
If you rebel against yourself.
Shin Ha-yoon was a person no one would ever forgive. He was someone who would one day stick his sharp claws in with a bright smile.
“There is no need to turn such a person into your enemy, right?”
Min Seong-hyeok’s Shin Yoo-seong didn’t answer for a while.
‘Shin Ha-yoon.’
The official successor of the Shinoh family.
A hunter with a reality manipulation trait called telekinesis. and her own sister.
Even Shin Yoo-seong, his younger brother, did not know what Shin Ha-yoon’s secret was.
How then at such a young age.
Did you hide your outstanding skills from adults? why did you do that Everything was hidden behind a veil.
‘…The Shin-O family.’
But even if you think about it, only your head gets complicated. With Shin Ha-yoon approaching so persistently, Shin Yoo-seong had no choice but to face Shin Ha-yoon and the Shin Oh family.
* * *
As if watching a movie.
Adela’s spirit became an observer and looked at someone.
[It’s cold…]
What I see in front of me is my 5-year-old self, shivering from the cold, hugging a teddy bear.
[…I’m hungry.]
For Adela, the memory of her childhood in Volterra was hell.
cold
Hungry.
More than anything.
[Mom… Dad… I miss you.]
A lonely memory.
[…Why did you leave me alone?]
The 5-year-old couldn’t understand why his parents had to leave for Louis, leaving him as a child.
Adela is different every day.
[I hate it.]
It has changed.
[It’s painful…]
The warmth I had in my heart quickly cooled. Adela’s inner side, which had been embracing the bright light, was engulfed by a dark gray light.
A barren place where a 5-year-old can never live without killing his inner self. Volterra, where Louis the Witch appeared, was such a place.
3 months like that.
Adela didn’t want to see her dad anymore.
I didn’t want to eat my mother’s soup any more.
I didn’t even feel the cold anymore.
It was hard to warm my cold heart.
A scene that changes as if the screen is moving.
Adela’s eyes showed a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
[Adela. I’ll be back soon, okay?]
Father.
[Only 3 days. I’m waiting alone for 3 days. Huh?]
Mother.
[sorry. Really really… But it can’t be helped.]
Looking at the scenery in her dream, Adela opened her mouth involuntarily.
– Don’t go….
The words were not spat out.
It just stayed in my mouth.
I wanted to ask you to stay by my side, but the two spread their hands.
Saaaa-!
Looking at the blue barrier surrounding the house. Adela tightly closed her eyes. It felt like 3 months of hell rushing at me all at once.
Pod!
“Ugh! Black! Ugh…”
Adela woke up from her dream and gasped. The place where I am is a bed in a dorm. It was no longer the hellish Volterra.
‘…Was it a dream?’
that buck that buck
Adela sighed and walked helplessly toward the bathroom. The cold sweat running through her body made the terrible dream that Adela had experienced more vivid.
Swoop. Let’s
get out of the pajamas we were wearing one by one. Adela’s body was exposed, not wearing a single thread.
Adela was no longer her 5-year-old self. So it was right to walk away from the memories that were like hell.
‘But why…’
As time goes by, does the memory of that time entangle oneself more?
Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-
Adela thought as she was bathed in the pouring water from the shower head.
meet that person right away.
colliding with each other
I want to feel alive.
I wanted to rely on anything to get rid of this feeling.
