chapter 21
21. Acquisition of allies
“are you okay? It will hurt a lot…”
As I looked at him with worried eyes, Mun Cheol-woong bit his lip and shouted.
“This…you did it on purpose! Don’t pretend!”
I said to Moon Cheol-woong with a pure expression that seemed incomprehensible.
“Did you do that on purpose? Why am I to you?”
Mun Cheol-woong, perhaps angry at my naive expression, tried to shout something, but Instructor Son Sae-bom, who was standing in front of him, stopped him.
“Don’t fight too much. Cheol-Woong Mun should do the same. I was watching them all.”
Mun Cheol-woong tripped first and tried to trip him. Son Sae-beom looked at him with a pitiful expression, as if he had been watching them all.
“Annoying.”
Mun Cheol-woong fell away from me only after Son Sae-bom said something and went back to where he was. However, the eyes glaring at me were still there.
‘What can I do if I stare?’
I acted leisurely in his disliked attitude. And based on this opportunity, I decided to slightly change the way I behave in the future.
‘It’s good to openly take a picture in front of you, but it’s also effective to pretend to be innocent like this. Rather, it seems that this side is more unfair.’
In the future, some people will argue with me like now. This is because there are quite a lot of people who follow Yoo Hee-yeon or the children of the guild leader who received money from Yoo Hee-yeon’s parents in this academy. So conflict is unavoidable. If it’s an unavoidable conflict anyway, I won’t hesitate, but if I react too radically, even those who aren’t Yu Hee-yeon’s followers may avoid me. I didn’t want that.
‘Even though it’s Class F, if you find people who are like gemstones, become friends with them, and develop them, you might find them useful in the future.’
Even among students in Class F, there are some who have extremely high growth thresholds. For example, they were destined to grow up to an Epic level or higher, but currently there are quite a few people who have fallen behind because they have not been able to awaken their jobs due to lack of ability or the situation is not right, or they do not know the direction or method of growth.
‘I have to take the good guys to my side.’
I needed to make my side to some extent, if not to my followers as much as possible in the F class. Only then will there be a slight chance of victory in the battle against Artemis and Hilleon that will take place later.
Even though it wasn’t my fault, Yoo Hee-yeon pushed me recklessly and even led me to suspension. Artemis, who listened to what she said, and Hilleon, who laid the blame on me for not knowing. I have no intention of leaving any of them alone. They are the ones who ruined my ordinary life, so I will make sure that they too receive appropriate punishment. Not the judgment of the law, but myself.
‘To do that, I’ll have to create a force.’
Artemis, the top guild in Korea, and Hilleon, the criminal group, are associated with countless people. No matter how strong I become, it is impossible to fight alone. So, I also needed strength. A force that can believe in me and follow me like Jung Eun-seo. Later, I could gather my forces and establish a guild, and I could use it in various ways, so there was nothing wrong with making my side.
I needed to act kind enough from now on. Because people tend to want to follow benevolent saints rather than strong tyrants.
so. What I’m doing right now isn’t strange at all.

After hearing the instructor Son Sae-bom tell me to sit where I want to sit among the empty seats, I naturally moved to the side of a girl. Soon after, I started talking to the girl.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Hyunseung Lee, a new member of Class F. In the future, if there is something I don’t know, can I ask and be friendly with you?”
With long hair, yellow hair, and blue eyes, she turned her head slightly to look at me and talked.
“okay. I am Yuri Kim. If you have any questions, ask.”
The name of the girl next to me is Yu-ri Kim. This girl was someone I knew. Because he is one of the people who will appear in a large part later in Broad Academy Online.
I haven’t properly awakened yet, but according to my memory, this girl will later awaken as a wizard. From the first awakening, it was an epic level. Even the personality belongs to a certain faction or does not care about others. He has a bit of a chic and cold personality, but he’s the friendly type when you get to know him. A typical tsundere, and in addition to that, he has a personality that won’t hurt you if you end up on one side later.
I smiled kindly at her, as if to appeal to her that I hadn’t really intentionally cut off the leg of my classmate earlier. And, I started taking classes.
Instructor Son Sae-bom eagerly explained about magic.
“All classes can use and utilize magic. However, the power of magic depends on how you use it…”
I read those stories with interest. In fact, I already knew everything about it, but it made my heart beat every time I heard something related to magic. This knowledge never existed on Earth, because it is now a reality.
As I was listening to class, the bell rang signaling break time.

Yuri Kim, who was sitting next to me, looked at me curiously and talked.
“You are from Class A, right?”
“Yes, I was in Class A, but I came to Class F because of circumstances.”
“From what I remember, Hyunseung Lee, I know you got a perfect score on the written test. Unexpectedly, he listens intently to the magic studies taught in Class F. Are you interested in magic?”
Her reaction was not strange at all. Because the difference between the level of magic between A class and F class is quite large. If the magic science learned in A class is very complex and high-dimensional, the magic science learned in F class is relatively simple and simple.
That’s why it’s only natural to get bored when you go from class A to class F. However, since I didn’t show such a boring appearance and was enthusiastically taking classes, it was natural for her to think that I was someone who was very interested in [Magical Science] itself.
I nodded and replied.
“I am usually very interested in magic. To be honest, I regret not becoming a wizard.”
I looked at the pistol in my hand.
What I said now is sincere. Of course, gunsmiths can also use magic. The nimble footsteps of the gunsmith that I used in the sparring with Seong Hyeon-wook earlier, and the last ballit were all types of magic.
However, real wizards can use real magic like Ice Spear, Hellfire, and Lightning. Of course, as a gunsmith, I can’t use that level of magic.
to be honest. So close. Because my favorite job in Broad Academy Online was a wizard. I had a lot of desire to use fancy magic, spewing fire, water, and electricity from my hands. Now I’ve got to shoot.
While listening to my heartfelt story, Kim Yu-ri nodded and apologized to me.
“Sorry, to be honest, I was prejudiced against you. Rumors were so bad. It was said that he was cranky, selfish, and conceited. There were a few people who said that you came to F class because you were trying to satisfy yourself while taking care of other kids, so I think I looked at you a little badly.”
“hahahaha….”
I thought of Kim Yu-ri, who apologized with a serious expression and spoke honestly about everything.
‘You’re overly honest, I don’t have to tell you all of that. No, is it rather good?’
Those ridiculous rumors must have been rumors that people who saw me screaming while fighting Yoo Hee-yeon, or those who belonged to Yoo Hee-yeon’s forces spread MSG in moderation to disparage me. I was somewhat expecting that my rumors would be bad, so there was no big hit.
Yu-ri Kim gave me a hand and talked.
“To be honest, I don’t know what the rumors are. However, looking at you, I can see that you treat magic with all your heart. Actually, I’m really serious about magic. I hope we have time to talk about it in the future. I’m very curious about the magic studies taught in Class A. Of course, I will do my best to help you with any information or help I can give you.”
I laughed and talked.
“Sure, good.”
Yu-ri Kim, who grows up to become an Epic-class wizard in the future and a unique wizard in the end. The first gemstone was unearthed in the F class.
Class annihilation battle to come soon. In a large-scale event where Class A and Class F collide, her presence will surely be of great help.
