Academy Dropout Is Too Strong

12. Treasure hunt (1)

Rumors spread secretly and quickly.

“… … Actually, he is the secret weapon of the Demonic Cult.”

Choi Kang-jun, who only goes back and forth between the dormitory and training room, might not have known, but rumors that he was a secret weapon fostered by the Heavenly Demon Church gradually spread throughout the class.

A special escort warrior secretly prepared by the Heavenly Demon of the time for my daughter-in-law!

The evidence supporting the rumor was as follows.

-No, no matter how much inner strength is sealed, how can a first-class beat an unmanned person at the peak?

-If you look at the contents of the dance, it is absolutely not first-class. If you look at what I haven’t seen, at least there is a trick.

– Seeing that the owner of the small school, Chun Yu-ha, is wearing it, he must be a talented person.

-It’s witchcraft! Hex!

It was also because of the lack of interaction with other cadets, and the close relationship between the previous military affairs and Cheon Yu-ha played a big role in conspiracy theories.

“Mmm, a secret weapon.”

Chun Yu-ha also picked up a story from time to time while strolling around the campus, and was aware of it roughly.

“… … Could it be?”

It was even the side that thought it was a rumor that had enough truth.

Chun Yu-ha and Choi Kang-joon are seen occasionally in the student cafeteria.

Unlike those who only guessed by seeing such things, Cheon Yu-ha clearly remembered what happened that day.

never could have forgotten

The appearance of Choi Kang-jun, who was a super-unmanned man, and overpowered the struggling Guardian at once.

The sight of the world twisting all of a sudden.

Even his amazingly delicate movements of both hands and qi.

At that time, all the scenery of the place remained clear in her mind.

“How can a first-class person show such a level?”

He muttered, furrowing his brow.

She tossed and turned with such questions in her sleep these days.

Several days have already passed, but Choi Kang-jun from that day still flickers in front of his eyes.

She tried to look at the world as much as possible without prejudice and without human limitations, but Choi Kang-joon was a being who lightly went beyond that frame.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t admit it because of his petty pride.

This is an incident in which the idea of martial arts that has been achieved over a lifetime collapses in an instant.

No matter how much the opponent is a golem, how could the first class defeat something comparable to transcendence?

There was no way I could understand it in just a few days.

Looking at the man’s taciturn and playful personality, he even thought that he might be making fun of himself, even though he was a half-hearted Jinin.

‘Umm, what the hell is it?’

Choi Kang-jun, first class, master, Geongondaenai, Banrohwandong, what is martial really?

As each day passed, Chun Yu-ha’s thoughts grew more and more as she lay on the futon.

Certainly, it seemed that he had been thinking about that man often lately.

“Are you dating?”

“… … what?”

Of course, I couldn’t even imagine hearing something like this.

Chun Yu-ha frowned on his arrogance. I wondered if my new best friend ate something wrong.

Her classmate and elf archer, Eleanor Andersen, waved her hand calmly and said,

“No, I’m going on a date tomorrow. I wondered if I had some flirtation.”

“… … What are you talking about, Eleanor? Although he and I are just close friends.”

“I thought we had known each other for several years, but they said they met on the same day as me. But isn’t there too little distance?”

“… … Eleanor, think again about where you are and tell me.”

At Chun Yu-ha’s words with a stone-bitten expression, Eleanor looked around for no reason.

The place where they are currently located is a spacious living room with a wooden floor like any other old house in China.

However, if you step out of the living room a little, you can see the interior of the penthouse with a modern interior.

Cheon Yu-ha’s quarters in the 3rd dormitory building.

Chun Yu-ha, the top floor, and Eleanor were on the lower floor, so they became friends easily, and today, Chun Yu-ha invited Eleanor to dinner.

The menu is burnt-out home food (discarded) and franchise chicken ordered separately afterwards.

Recalling Chun Yu-ha’s disastrous cooking skills, Eleanor answered dubiously.

“It is your house. why is that?”

“Eleanor, there is no need to envy the friendship of others! This is a place only you have ever entered, so you should feel proud!”

“No, that and this are completely different issues. Gender is different in the first place.”

“… … What the hell is different?”

Seeing Chun Yu-ha frowning while saying that, Eleanor sighed.

No matter how much you talk about dating for a hundred days, a child with a big body just can’t understand it at all.

– thought the 17-year-old human age solo elf (170 years old).

“Right, Eleanor! Are you thinking of living together? It’s boring because it’s an empty, unloving corner of the house.”

“It’s okay, I just like coming to play like this.”

“… … okay? It’s a pity. Thanks to you, I had fun today. I’ll see you again on Monday then.”

“Ah, you must tell me what happened later!”

Koo-ung!

“… … Hmm.”

Chun You-ha was surprised to find herself closing the front door in a fit of anger.

It was as if he was listening to his mother’s nagging, so he shut it down for a moment.

By the time she felt the elf on the other side of the door shaking her head and boarding the elevator, Chun Yu-ha suddenly had a crazy idea.

“Um, let’s ask Kang-jun if he wants to live with us.”

If Eleanor had heard of it, it would have been a crazy idea.

Maybe even Choi Kang-jun.

Chun You-ha thought about whether he knew their feelings or not, and then decided to give up.

Either way, it would be possible to become closer than now.

‘Did you say treasure hunt? We can get to know each other better while taking a walk tomorrow!’

Chun You-ha clenched his fists with enthusiasm.

***

Until the 21st century, the art style has achieved numerous developments and changes.

A story that is not limited to artworks such as paintings, but also applies to architecture in general.

It was the same at the train station.

“… … It was built a hundred years ago.”

I opened my mouth and rolled my eyes.

Chun Yu-ha also muttered while looking around with a blank expression.

“… … Definitely great.”

[ King’s Cross 1923 ]

Like the year of the name, it was built a long time ago, but it sparkled on the platform.

A train station that looks more like a British magic school than a Korean subway or train.

However, its beauty and function were raised to the level of art through the power of capital.

Marble floors throughout the platform and high ceiling chandeliers are standard.

Looking at the runes and high-level mana stones studded here and there, I wondered if I had come to catch a train or where I had landed in the royal castle.

Even the permanent cleaning and preservation magic left no footprints or dust on the ground, and it seemed that it could be used as a mirror instead of just being pleasant.

‘… … It’s definitely different from the Sky Train.’

I stopped by the platform to find the elixir and props in the outskirts of the city, but the destination was different from the ground-bound sky train, and the platform was separate.

If the sky train feels like a dropout returning to the ground, King’s Cross literally looks like it was prepared for a king.

If I had known that the level was so different, I even regretted that I should have come earlier.

“Well, it’s because there’s a lot to come.”

Clap—Kikiiik—!

As I looked around me frantically, it seemed that time had passed quickly.

A steam locomotive came running from afar and entered the station emitting white steam.

A vehicle whose entire vehicle is properly modeled in black, white, and gold.

Indeed, the nature of the train was just as gorgeous as the train station, and the interior was the same.

If the Sky Train is an understatement of luxury, this train is utter splendor with sparkling lights everywhere.

‘I don’t think I should ask them just because they get dirty.’

A space where the fragrance of capital is so enormous that it automatically reminds me of such thoughts.

Feeling nervous for no reason, we hesitantly headed for the room written on the ticket.

“ah.”

“Huh.”

However, the guest room is also luxuriously large enough to be called a reception room, so we had to hold our breath once again.

No, how much did you spend money on?

Soon, with careful gestures, we sat on the sofas on either side of each other, resting our chins on each other.

Feeling like you shouldn’t touch anywhere, including the backrest and armrests.

Cheon Yu-ha looked sideways in all directions with a gloomy expression and spoke quietly.

“… … If you got a loan because I said I wanted to play, tell me right away.”

“… … Don’t worry, it’s free. I feel like I’m in a place where I shouldn’t be.”

Leading students were entitled to ride twice a month for free.

I took this opportunity to aim at something I hadn’t been able to ride due to training in my previous life, but it’s definitely spectacular.

… … The problem was that the exterior was so luxurious that it was burdensome.

Clap—Chii Ik—!

Still, by the time the train departed, I was quite used to it, and I was able to rest my back on the sofa. After all, humans are animals of adaptation.

… … Deed deed deed.

A vehicle that looks like a steam locomotive, but actually uses mana fuel.

Therefore the train from King’s Cross proceeded pleasantly and quietly.

If it weren’t for the very weak vibration transmitted to the body and the scenery outside the window that quickly passed by, I wouldn’t even know I was driving.

By the time the train, running so fast, had completely left the platform, Chun Yu-ha suddenly jumped up from his seat and clung to the window, shouting:

“Kangjun! look out the window! You can see the sea!”

“No, I can’t see you because you’re covered.”

“Oh oh! Why does the sea come out as soon as you leave school!”

“… … .”

It seemed like he couldn’t hear me at all.

I had no choice but to get up from my seat and head to Chun Yu-ha’s side.

and admired

The surface of the water shimmers with emerald light. A train was running on it without a track.

A moat so wide that no shadow can be seen beyond the horizon.

It was unbelievable that it was artificially created.

Still, knowing that this kind of scenery would continue to unfold throughout the train’s operation, I sat down straight away, but I couldn’t take my face off the window until the end of the day.

“Ohh, a desert!”

“What! Why is it snowing all of a sudden this time!”

“There is a volcano erupting!!”

… … He plays very well alone.

Sometimes whenever Chun Yu-ha shouted, I was worried that the soundproofing would work well, but seeing her expression of great joy, I definitely felt that it was worth bringing her.

Suddenly, I put my chin on my chin and looked at Chun Yu-ha’s face.

Right now, she looked like a child, but she was a beauty that anyone who saw her could say was beautiful.

Not befitting a descendant of the Heavenly Demon, the excited eyes and corners of the mouth moved without a trace.

Likewise, his excited eyes shimmered red, and his flowing hair drew a red line.

The fiery color always seemed to express Cheon Yu-ha, who was cheerful.

-Would you like to be mine?

On the other hand, Lee Chung, the teacher who always laughs quietly and is lively and calm.

The color of his hair and the color of the weapon he uses are close to blue water.

If there are similarities between the two opposites, it may be that they have the unique characteristics of Go Soo, such as having clear skin like a child, big eyes, and being beautiful…

‘What am I thinking.’

Thinking endlessly, I hit my head hard once and closed my eyes.

In a way, it was the only time or opportunity to legally not have to practice.

It’s time to take care of the inner anxiety that has recently been disturbed.

“Oh, this time it’s the jungle!”

Listening to the very excited voice of Chun Yu-ha, I quickly regained inner stability.

How long has it been since you’ve been messing around like that?

Knock-!

Kiki-Ik-!

Finally the train arrived at its destination.

Eventually, it stopped completely, and Chun You-ha, who had been staring at the window all the time, kept tilting her head as if she sensed something strange.

Before it was too late, I forcibly grabbed the guy with wide eyes and got out of the car.

Clap—Chii Ik—!

Then the train left without giving me room to get on again.

Chun You-ha blinked her big eyes and looked at the back of the train.

Standing stunned as if she couldn’t let go of her lingering feelings until the end, she asked me.

“… … Hey, Kang Joon. What the hell is this place?”

Soon, Cheon Yu-ha looked around the surroundings with a stunned expression.

No matter how you look at it, a cemetery that fills your eyesight. The boy frowned and shouted.

“… … It’s a walk! Didn’t I say treasure hunt!”

It certainly wasn’t a good neighborhood for a walk, either with the all-black sky or the surrounding scenery.

It was all the more so when he could see the dreary castle of the Demon King on top of the cliff in the distance.

However, the more remote the place, the more valuable treasures were found.

“There are also volcanoes! There is even a snowy field! Among many, many places, why is it such a dark town!”

“That’s because it’s much faster to catch the boss on a day trip than anywhere else!”

It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time.

Isn’t it better to be moderately dark and dull than to be hot and cold and lost and die?

I gave a thumbs up and squinted my eyes. At times like this, it was the law to go out shamelessly.

He opened his heavenly mouth and looked alternately at Mawang and me.

Kurrureung!

Suddenly, lightning struck. Chun Yu-ha’s face turned bright blue.

treasure hunt.

It was the beginning of the demonic attack.
