chapter 40
40 – 1. Academy (40)
#40
Something. There is such a thing.
I don’t have anything that I’m not good at, but I feel like I’m being scolded for nothing. I was really dying to taste the feelings I had only experienced when I was a private in the army in my previous life.
The first reason is Kang So-seon, who has had a chilly atmosphere from before, and the second is because of this woman who naturally sits next to me and smiles while sticking closely to me.
I’d rather just send it. Perhaps seeing this heavy atmosphere and deciding that it was “Fun,” She immediately invited Kang So-seon to sit down. Her feeling was that of a wife who tolerated her husband’s infidelities with great generosity.
Sit down if you can. In her position as the owner, she hesitated at the arrogant invitation that seemed to be directed at the challenger, but she looked at me and the woman who kept clinging to my side, then she bit her lip and sat down.
Talkak
I had to sigh when I saw the waitress preparing refreshments and tea with natural movements, as if it were not once or twice that her master had such an eccentricity.
What kind of bullsh*t is this? I don’t even have a heart, but I couldn’t understand the way they stir-fry each other.
In the first place, Jiang Su-sun, that girl reacted like a heroine who was abandoned after playing, so she didn’t do that because she enjoyed this girl too.
When I cursed with my gaze, the other side acted as if I was watching a lover dripping with honey and fell down. Kang So-seon, who was restless and nervous, stopped trembling. Then he started staring at my skin with hot eyes.
‘f*ck’
I’m growing even more when it’s not enough to clear up misunderstandings. Seeing that, the woman giggled at an angle that Kang So-sun couldn’t see, patted my body, and started drinking the black tea that was prepared.
At that moment, I felt that something connected to her starting from the part she hit.
It must be something like the transmission I heard before. It was an awkward and disparate connection with a different texture from the hives, but this was enough. As soon as I realized that I was sending the telephony, I thought of the words I wanted to convey in my heart.
[I heard that you turned on the recognition suppression]
[Yes, I turned it on. However, it seems that ‘someone’ who lives somewhere suddenly dressed up, so his presence increased and there was a gap. That person caught it, and in a place where it was long, ‘someone’ spoke first and the cognitive impairment was broken.]
Damn it. It seemed interesting, so I deliberately loosed the topic.
I didn’t send a separate telegram, but she smiled softly at the same time as I thought about it. If you look at it from the side, it looks like you’re smiling because the tea is delicious, but in reality, it’s because it’s fun to see me chewing curse words.
“So…”
Talkak
The woman who intentionally put the tea cup down on the teacup with a noise got lucky.
“What is your relationship with this person?”
“…I am a junior”
Having said that, Suseon Jiang suddenly shut her mouth. And then I don’t know if the constant moving of her mouth is choosing her words or if the words just don’t come out. Then he started looking at me as if he wanted an answer.
What if they look at me from there? If I step out here, I end up defending Kang So-seon. Then that woman will jump in and experience a quasi chaos.
It was an idiot thing that he could do because he was sure that I would never leave his side.
Burn people’s personal connections just for a moment’s worth of entertainment? Really crazy.
“…Ah”
I didn’t respond, and when I stood there, Jiang Su-seon’s shoulders went down a little, as if she had lost her temper. The woman next to me seemed to feel better, and she even narrowed the distance to cling to me.
Just looking at that reaction, it looks like we’ve been dating for months. Actually, I only went through the first dungeon, but I don’t know why he is so obsessed with me.
“…My name is Kang So-seon, and I am enrolled in the 2nd year S class of Sunrise Academy, where my juniors attend. I got to know my junior through a connection. First of all, I am holding the position of vice president.”
However, even after she died, Jiang Su-seon, who took a deep breath and returned to her steady appearance after introducing herself, looked at me and her woman as if she had made up her mind.
“Ah, the academy’s… I see.”
The woman with a deep smile, as if showing off, placed her hand on my body and opened her mouth.
“My husband owes me money.”
“…On the side…?”
At those words, I frowned between my brows and slammed the hand that was touching my body to drop it. Just like Kang So-seon, Kang So-sun was looking at me with her pupils quivering like someone who had just heard the end of the world.
It’s crazy. I tried to fit in, but this crossed the line.
“My husband is a jerk. Don’t cross the line on the topic of being a raw man.”
“Oh, man, a fiancé who loves each other is almost like a married couple.”
“Seeing that you talk about fabrication as if it were natural, people say that you have a delusional wall.”
“…Chit”
Kang So-seon, who was about to get up from her seat at any moment, sat back down as if exhausted.
“Um…Then the relationship between the two of you is…”
“My favorite town…!”
“…A person who gets involved because of work.”
Without hesitation, she blocked the woman who was trying to lie and answered instead. Even though she corrected herself, I returned a cold look to Jiang So-sun’s gaze, as if she was not happy with something.
No, why do I have to say it word for word as if I’m making excuses? It’s ridiculous. Really.
“Uh…That… How to call it…”
At that, I removed my hand and looked at the woman. There are many of her names that modify her. Starting from her use externally, there are things built with the feeling of a second name, and even a name that only she and those bound by her contract know.
“Um…Please call me Se-Rin Lee. My last name is Lee, and my first name is Serene.”
That word didn’t only apply to Kang So-seon, it seemed like he was asking me to call him that too. It seems that after a little consideration, I finally decided to use one of the external names. Then I will have to adjust to that too.
“Lee Se-rin…Se-rin. I hope to see you a lot in the future, so please take good care of me.”
“Ahahahaha, you are such a bold person.”
At the words of Jiang Sushen, the woman, Li Serin, gently covered her mouth with her hand as a fan. His face was smiling, but his narrowed eyes weren’t laughing at all. She seemed to have seen something interesting.
[…I was a little hurt. How can you flirt with a girl like me when you have a pretty and proud girlfriend like me? What have you been doing? What, have you confessed already? Joy!]
I answered while wriggling between my brows at the barbed words that I heard through the electric tone.
[I’ve said it several times, but I’m not your boyfriend. And I want to ask more why the other side is doing that. Really]
Lee Se-rin moaned at the excuse that was not an excuse. I didn’t want to be involved anymore, so I sat down in a crooked posture, and Kang So-sun was still sending hot eyes toward Lee Se-rin.
That figure must be a character from a hot-blooded boy manga who will never give up…! It was like the expression he makes when doing the same monologue, so I was genuinely embarrassed.
No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know what’s on her mind. Even if I think about it objectively, I don’t like people like me, so I didn’t understand why they wanted to stick around like that.
I thought Jiang So-sun’s thoughts were more serious than I thought, so Se-rin, who lost her playfulness slightly, let out a more curt voice and clung to her arm.
She looks like a child who doesn’t want her toy taken away from her, but a heavy pressure is applied to her arm as if she won’t forgive rejection.
I glared at Seline as if I was fed up with her hardened body as if it had been cursed with petrification, but she didn’t know me and looked away from her.
And then shed a relaxed smile again
“…Well, excuse me for today. From now on, it’s time to enjoy dating.”
“…! Oh, a date…”
She started looking at me with a surprised expression, as if she couldn’t stand the misery, with a bitter expression. She always looks like a tragic heroine, but I really don’t know why she’s doing that.
“Let’s go. A day is short.”
“Ah…!”
As Lee Se-rin intended, my body rose from the seat. After that, the initiative returned to me as if I was told to do it on my own, but the situation itself was annoying that I couldn’t move my body on my own, even temporarily.
Still, I have to do what I have to do. I bowed my head at Kang So-sun, who seemed like she would burst into tears if I touched her.
“Excuse me. Seniors”
If you don’t pay attention to me and cling to the main character over there, you’ll be loved more. Whether you look at it objectively or subjectively, I can count on one hand the number of people who ended up with trash like me.
“…Hoo, juniors, have a good weekend too. And next time, please don’t pretend you don’t know. Yes…?”
It seems that the slight trembling at the end of his words bothered him quite a bit that he ignored it the other day. While I was contemplating whether or not to give this a definite answer, he ignored my will again and nodded slightly. The culprit is Lee Se-rin, without question.
She must have accepted my nod as an affirmation. Jiang Su-sun smiled deeply relieved. And then she glared at this serine who was looking at me with a smirk from behind.
“If you do something like this one more time, then I really won’t let you go.”
“So who told you to flirt with other girls on a date?”
“Damn it, ha ha…”
I tried to chew and swallow what was about to burst out with strong curse words. Did she erase the smile from her lips and say something like that? It wasn’t because I wanted to do it, but being treated like this was really absurd and frustrating, so I felt like going crazy.
“…Where are you going?”
“Well, at first I was going to go to an amusement park, but I changed my mind.”
She crumpled up a pamphlet from an amusement park with her hand and threw it into her trash can. She accepted the device given to her by a worker who silently approached her and began manipulating something about her.
“This would be nice.”
After saying that, Se-Rin Lee shared the screen of the device with me.
“[Floating Castle in the Collapsed Sky]?”
It was a grade C dungeon that was located there.
A unique feature is that the floating stones, which have the property of floating in the air, are gathered like a huge castle.
The monsters that appear are all flying type monsters, probably because of such a terrain, and the terrain itself is rough, so it seems that it is famous for malicious inventory among the dungeons located outside.
According to the comments and reviews attached below, a person who is slow or heavy may trip on a floating stone and fall straight into the endless sky. A cautionary note was added so that you could take care of it in advance.
There is also a record that you can use the dungeon escape item even while in the air, so even if you make a mistake, you can save your life if you use the item without panic.
Due to its uniqueness, there were many opinions that although it was a C grade dungeon, it was close to B grade in terms of difficulty.
But that’s just for the general case, and in my case it wasn’t too bad. It wasn’t exactly bad, but it was completely good thanks to Kalion who evolved into a dragon this time.
Is the terrain not very good? Then it’s enough to fight in the air.
In fact, the typical way to clear this dungeon was to use the [Levitation] Magic that allows you to levitate or to use a magic tool that creates a platform in the air.
Because both consume a lot of mana for activation and maintenance, there are many cases in which the wizard’s help is no longer needed in battles with monsters.
It was written in the information handed over as
.
No, this is also important, but this is not the problem right now.
“Going to a dungeon? Suddenly?”
“Anyway, the doctor prefers this rather than enjoying the bittersweet youth, right?”
“…But it is”
Isn’t there something that makes you rather wary because you suddenly do well? That’s exactly how I feel right now. After all, among the strong guys, there is no one with a normal head. I gave up on thinking about her mind that I didn’t even know.
Yes, good is good. Let’s put off the worries for later.
I don’t need the clothes… Ah, since I’m going to use the shadows anyway. There is nothing more useless than worrying about this woman’s safety, so I just have to do well.
The period of use of the temporary pass had already expired. I was thinking about when to raise my job level to 15, but it just worked.
I felt a bit uncomfortable because I felt like I was being used, but it was good because it was beneficial to me in the end. Now that I think about it, going to an amusement park and almost saying this sh*t has turned into going to a dungeon.
“Let’s go quickly”
I had to move quickly before this reedy woman’s heart changed. The distance to the dungeon… Oh, that’s pretty far. It’s okay though. No matter how far the distance is, it’s a story when using normal transportation, and it’s just a matter of flying on the Kalion.
“Doctor. That’s a real workaholic. I asked to work instead of playing on the weekend. Who likes it?”
“Here”
“…I’m a little upset because he looks more lively than when I asked him out on a date. I never thought that the day would come when I felt this kind of feeling for something like a dungeon.”
“That’s great.”
Seeing that woman sneakily annoyed, I felt relieved too.
From here on, I’ll take the lead. I went out to the road and grabbed Lee Se-rin’s arm as she was about to get into the prepared car and headed for the rooftop of the parking lot. As she approached the helipad on the other side of her and summoned her Kalion, Ise-rin’s eyes began to twinkle.
“Oh, is that a dragon?”
“That’s right…?!”
As soon as Kalion faced Lee Se-rin, he panicked and hid behind my back. Of course, there was no way that giant could hide, so I barely covered my eyes with my body. It’s like a child who starts playing hide-and-seek with only his head hidden.
“Huh~ It’s fun. It’s really, really interesting.”
Lee Se-rin’s pupils, which touched and stroked Kalion’s body, suddenly turned into torn pupils similar to those of Kalion.
However, her pupils did not just stop there. The inside of her pupils opened even more, and geometric sentences began to emerge. I realized that it was a kind of ‘mystical eye’ at the intense flow of magical power.
At first, she was frightened of her, but she didn’t do anything, just touched her own body, so she secretly poked her head out and began to look at Lee Se-rin at the same time.
As if she was very happy with that appearance, Serene covered her mouth and laughed.
“No matter how much I do, I won’t eat the things of the person I have fortune-telling as my companion, so don’t be too scared.”
“…Kuuung”
Even in the midst of that, the playfulness might have kicked in. As she licked her lips lightly with her tongue and spoke as if she was licking her lips on purpose, Kalion was genuinely afraid. It started.
“Is it fun to tease him?”
“Yes!! Thank you for showing me such a fun gift!!”
I made a disgusted look at her positive attitude without hesitation.
“Crazy b*tch”
“Ehehehe”
No matter how much I get tired of seeing him start laughing like an idiot, as if he liked it even though he was cursed at. How the hell am I going to give this woman a shot? No, was that even possible in the first place?
“…I don’t know. I am”
This woman is the easiest way to test if my power works on a new kid who doesn’t even know where she is. It’s because he’s the closest thing to God in this world.
She said that I, who proposed to use it from the beginning, was trash, but after hearing it, she accepted it, saying that it looked fun, and it was the same as crazy.
This deformed relationship is continuing because of mutual understanding. To be honest, a guy with a good mind wouldn’t dare to give God a shot.
I know I’m weird. As the world went crazy, I had no confidence in living unless I went crazy in line with it.
“…Other”
“Yeah~”
She made a saddle of shadow behind Kalion’s head as she bowed her head.
From the beginning, I made it so that it could be ridden by two people, but I had to adjust the saddle while sighing because I was ignoring the seat behind me as if I was being held in my arms.
In the first place, her perception has to be hindered so that she can fly on the Kalion.
If you openly ride this and fly outside without permission, there will be no fuss like that. If you do not do well, you may be branded as a criminal, saying that you will be charged with reckless skill use.
I’ve thought about it for a long time, but the Awakened Association is spacious in strange places, but it seemed to be very tight with no flexibility beyond that.
If it had not been for the peculiarity of being an Awakener, it would not be strange to call it an outdated iron-blooded rule, and would have created and implemented such cramped rules. It is certain that if the upper heads of the tissue were also stabbed, not a single drop of blood would come out.
“Let’s go”
At the departure signal, Kalion’s wings flapped, and at the same time the wind rose. My vision flowed quickly and when I opened my eyes, there was a sky full of clouds.
It seemed that the uneasiness had gone down at the sight of the city that had instantly become smaller to the level of a toy and the people who had become invisible.
As it is, I drove Kalion and moved the direction to fly toward the dungeon.
