chapter 15
5. Unknown, you know? (3)
But Lee Jun-woo was different.
Despite Song Xia’s blatant disregard.
He treated her like two other people at Aegis.
Even to the same extent as that An Yu-min that he seemed to like.
Song Xia paid attention to herself and did her best as the party’s operator.
– Let’s do it together! Party play is kind of fun.
At Lee Jun-woo’s smiling face that comes to mind inadvertently. Xia Song hurriedly shook her head.
‘It’s over.’
But it was also the same as the last two months.
The day I was kicked out of the party.
The words Lee Jun-woo shouted with a twisted expression overlapped again.
– Let’s see how well it goes without me. You will definitely regret it.
The usual Lee Jun-woo would never say such harsh words. Those words, the expression on the expression that uttered those words, were strangely unforgettable.
My chest was stuffy. No, I think it would be more accurate to say that it hurts rather than being frustrated.
Although it can be explained in terms of suffering or regret.
Song Xia did not know such feelings.
If Lee Jun-woo was by her side right now, she wouldn’t know.
Emotions she never had before. Because he always tried to explain.
– At times like this, you just have to laugh together. It’s fun. is not it?
But now he’s gone.
And the expression of Lee Jun-woo, who smiled so broadly.
It overlapped with that distressed expression on the day he was banished again.
Song Xia inadvertently let go of the strength in her legs.
‘…… I don’t know.’
What Lee Jun-woo was trying to teach me. Now that he’s gone, I don’t know.
He was banished as he was no longer needed. I thought that would be good. But at least I felt that it shouldn’t have ended that way.
Still, the water that had already been spilled could not be undone.
“Heo Eok… Heo Eok… That crazy b*tch… No, Yumin-nim, why are you running so fast!!”
But her thoughts were broken at that moment.
Ha Ye-eun, who ran late, followed. Ha Ye-eun, whose body seemed to have weakened more recently, exhaled very heavily. Ha Ye-eun’s upper body shook.
Xia Song denied the agitation in her heart a moment ago and spoke coldly.
“Let’s go after it. If you miss that villain. It’s very dumb.”
The family and father are positive about Aegis’ activities. Mistakes were not tolerated.
The two finally caught up with An Yu-min.
However, An Yu-min, who arrived first, was staring blankly at someone with the sword in his hand hanging down.
And the moment Song Shia also confirmed that someone’s appearance. It hardened on the spot.
“Lee Jun-woo? Why are you here!”
Ha Ye-eun shouted. As Ha Ye-eun said, Lee Jun-woo was here.
At the same time, Xia Song saw it.
The way Lee Jun-woo arrests that villain, Dark Snake.
His clothes were dirty, perhaps due to the effects of the battle.
But his expression was calm. Soon, Xia Song saw the final scene where he gave the Dark Snake a final blow.
‘Is that a sword containing the energy of divine power?’
It took hours to catch even one goblin, and even if you managed to catch it, you would pass out. It was Lee Jun-woo, who was that incompetent.
However, his appearance a moment ago was absolutely not that of an incompetent person.
Divine power was burning in the blade.
It was a blow filled with strong divine power that would neutralize the villain at once. The Dark Snake, which Aegis had missed, was completely neutralized.
‘What happened?’
It had only been about two months since he was banished. Even if you were really lucky to have a second awakening. The basic skills for the sword cannot rise at once.
But just a moment ago, the sword drawn by that blow was perfect.
Song Xia was a magician. Since I was young, I had been trained by my family to deal with all kinds of classes. He had enough eyes to check his skills.
‘Could it be that in the Aegis… did they deliberately hide their skills?’
For a moment, I thought it might be.
If it’s Lee Jun-woo’s personality she knows. A man who would not deliberately reveal himself in order to attract attention to the other three.
I saw An Yu-min’s hands tremble.
Song Xia instantly came to her senses. whatever the truth Whatever the reason for Lee Jun-woo suddenly becoming stronger.
It is undoubtedly true that the three Aegis exiled Lee Jun-woo together.
At that time, Lee Jun-woo, who had finished the arrest, turned and looked at the Aegis.
“sorry. Did you guys try to catch this villain? But what should I do? I caught it first.”
A calm smile, not meant to be sarcastic at all. No, on the contrary, it was literally embarrassing.
Face to face with the three people who kicked him out.
Lee Jun-woo was smiling kindly as before.
Seeing that, Xia Song’s heart throbbed more than when she thought of him a moment ago.
‘also…’
At that moment, An Yu-min opened his mouth to Lee Jun-woo.
****
March. And today is the day of the freshman entrance ceremony.
I entered the front door of Theia Academy.
It’s really amazing whenever I see it.
A prestigious academy that is famous all over the world. As such, Theia Academy had a very large campus.
A part of the campus and a downtown area in front of the school have been created. Therefore, it is a leading academy with a very high level of awareness even among the general public.
It’s not that Mr. Yongcheol’s staff praised me for nothing. Theia is filling up.
Anyway, I felt new when I saw the cadets going to school.
Everyone was no longer a student, but a cadet. Theia Academy is a military academy that trains elite hunters.
Inadvertently, I remembered a scene from the original story.
The scene where the original protagonist, An Yu-min, enters the main gate of Theia and makes a new resolution.
‘The producer put a lot of effort into it. It was very high quality.’
It was not an illustration cut, but an animation was created to direct the scene.
The drawing and directing of that scene was well received by many users. I also got into the original work through that animation advertisement, so I said it all.
So, at the beginning of the original, The Gray City of Full Moon, An Yu-min was popular. The main character and the game mascot, of course.
However, the city of gray in full moon is a mobile gacha game.
As such, Ahn Yu-min, a born 3-star character who can be used as soon as he starts, had limitations.
Of course, for the production company’s sales, the 4-star Taeseong character, which will appear later as a pickup character, performed much better.
Although there are some buffs in the main story content.
Still, the performance was pushed back compared to that gacha character. It was not even compared to some of the characters who were considered human rights characters. Popularity naturally went down.
‘It was less used than Jiyu later.’
Jiyu is a 4-star in her own way. So, even in the main story, there were many players who did not pick An Yu-min in their decks.
Except for people like me.
‘Because An Yu-min was my favorite.’
And that relationship, no, it would be a bad relationship now.
After being possessed by this game and recovering memories. I desperately made contact with An Yu-min.
No matter how much she is pushed by human rights characters, the main character is the main character.
Because there is no point in contact with me, who is nothing more than an extra. I really put a lot of effort into getting close to her.
However, it may be that only the mind is too far ahead.
An Yu-min in real life was much prettier than An Yu-min in the game. It’s embarrassing, but I fell in love with her at first sight.
After claiming to be an exclusive trainer and helping An Yu-min, in the end, he even confessed.
‘Although I knew it wouldn’t work.’
An Yu-min, who was not interested in love at all in the original work. Her first priority was always to follow in the footsteps of her mother, a renowned hunter.
– sorry. I, in high school, have no intention of dating a man. until graduation.
So An Yu-min refused to confess with an obvious comment.
Still, it was definitely until graduation.
I couldn’t give up my feelings after one refusal, so in the end I even made an Aegis to help her grow.
Unexpectedly, while taking care of An Yu-min’s mentality, who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
Before I knew it, I entered the auditorium where the entrance ceremony was held.
Above the podium, I could see An Yu-min preparing for the entrance ceremony. That’s how I became Theia’s freshman representative. My efforts were not wrong.
‘Well, though, An Yu-min and I are over.’
In the end, that unrequited love ends in banishment. The shock also gave me a panic attack.
But now, even when I think back to that moment of exile. I was calm enough to smile lightly.
The memory of liking An Yu-min remains like a sentence. In terms of emotions, there was really nothing left.
‘Try hard. Ahn Yoo-min. Until you reach the truth of Theia Academy.’
I took a seat in the auditorium and sat down.
***
I looked around.
There are many people who went on to Theia High School. Most of them were familiar faces.
Nara, who was a heavy user of the original work, even though she was from another high school, her face was really familiar. On the other hand, no one recognized me.
‘Has my face changed like that?’
Now I’ve lost a little bit of gold sun water in a few months. When I checked my smartphone, it seemed that Jiu hadn’t arrived yet.
Now I left Jiyu’s house and entered the dormitory.
Both of Jiyoo’s parents said it was okay to live forever.
declined for future activities.
Whether it’s for my growth or for villain activities. You’ll have a lot of work to do at night.
The uncle settled the part-time job for the month right away.
‘I still have 5 million won left after paying the tuition for this semester.’
Although I did a lot of work. Obviously, they paid more than the minimum hourly wage. After all, Jiyune’s parents were angels.
In addition, he caught the villain Dark Snake himself and handed it over to the Hunter Association. I also took that bounty.
[quest]——-

So I, who was poor enough to live in a net cafe, already had 10 million won in my pocket.
Of course, it wasn’t a large amount because a lot of money went into the growth of the Awakener. Still, I was out of breath.
‘Dark Snake. It was more worth catching than I thought.’
Although the speed that increases after using the skinning skill cannot be ignored.
Observation of vision through multiple mirrors. In addition, he was extremely frightened by the fear debuff through Unknown and my fireball, which is a good match.
Although his clothes got messy because of his wind skill. It was very easy to feed the last hit and finish him off. instead of Aegis.
Thanks to that, not only the reward money, but also the quest clear was recognized and the gold was also secured. The title and avenger are applied, and the reward is doubled to 10000 gold.
Of course, since he went through the battle, he also acquired experience points for powers and skills.

Just like this.
My muscle strength, which I was worried about, has already risen to 19. Other stats aren’t great though. I mean, it’s definitely growing.
‘In addition to growing up, there are many things to do at the academy.’
There is a placement evaluation right this week. Preparations for that evaluation had already been made. The evaluation was important not only to get into the middle class, but also to choose the professor you want.
I turned off the notification window of the system for a while.
And the moment she was about to check JiU’s message that had been coming in. Suddenly, someone spoke to me.
“Hey! Freshmen on that side. Are you Lee Jun-woo by any chance?”
I saw him
A red-haired girl. She was alternating between looking at my face and at my name tag.
He was wearing a pretty tight cadet uniform. It was a pretty foreign female student wearing a very short skirt. It felt like a very precious house lady.
The girl who confirmed my name soon smiled broadly.
“You really are Lee Jun-woo. I heard that you are Golden Taeyang, but your style has changed completely? Well, this look is quite passable! You deserve to pass on Miss Hana!”
Judging by the color of the academy emblem on his jacket, he was a sophomore. means senior.
At that moment, I immediately saw a female student standing calmly next to the sophomore.
A freshman with black long hair and a calm expression. It was one of the best. She looked at me and bowed.
