Parachutes (2)
‘I’m going to buy some rice because I’m indebted to you.’
I thought it was over after receiving Assault Wolf, but that seems to be another thing. It’s quite the price of a life, but did you think it was a bit too much to cover with 200 million?
To be honest, I was looking forward to it. I’ve never been to that restaurant before, because I’ve been pretty tight on money since I bought the equipment on my last expedition. The general education is delicious, but how delicious the special food is…
It was for that reason that he decided to go to Aiden’s recommendation.
As I was walking towards the restaurant, I saw an acquaintance sitting on a bench. Dae-soo Lee was bruising with his chin resting on his interlaced hands.
“Teacher?”
I wondered what he was doing, and when I went and talked to him, Dae-su Lee raised his head in awe.
“Ah… it’s Jihan.”
It wasn’t that he was idly, but he seemed to be thinking deeply about something. Did she just pass by?
“What are you doing here alone?”
“I’ve got something to think about for a while, more than that…”
Dae-soo Lee looked at me and hesitated, then smiled and said.
“I blinked and couldn’t say. Congratulations on winning the award. Do you have another achievement?”
“Yeah, that’s good.”
It seems that the performance is useless now, but it’s not bad since I’ve gotten to know the layer.
Since there was nothing to talk about, an awkward silence soon followed. I nodded my head at Lee Dae-soo.
“Then I’ll just go.”
“Yeah. Be careful.”
As I was walking down the street, I looked back and saw that Dae-soo Lee was preoccupied with his thoughts again as before.
‘Hmm, I guess I’m going to have some personal concerns.’
After arriving at the restaurant, I went inside. It was definitely different from a regular restaurant, and it was decorated with an atmosphere like a high-class restaurant.
When I went inside, I stopped when I saw the faces gathered at the table.
what. this place.
It wasn’t just Aiden, the main characters of the game had gathered and focused their eyes on me. There were twin brothers and sisters, Park Noah, and Arwell, who knew each other, but all of them were looking at me with meaningless eyes.
– Is that him?
– I think so.
A buzzing sound is heard. do you hate this? I don’t know if I should express it, but that’s how it feels. I don’t know why you look at me like that.
In the dining room, not only aspiring heroes were gathered, but even Layit was sitting opposite Aiden.
“Hello. Instructor.”
As he approached the table to say hello, Layth nodded indifferently.
“See you again. Seo-han, right?”
“Yes. …By the way, can you please explain what the situation is now?”
“ok···?”
At my words, Layette looked at Aiden with a puzzled expression.
“What is it, Aiden? Why don’t you come and explain while you’re on the phone?”
“It’s an explanation, you can do it now.”
Aiden, who answered that, got up from his seat, grabbed my collar and led me to the corner. I said quietly to the back of Aiden’s head.
“You said you bought me rice, so was it Gura?”
“Is that important now?”
Of course it doesn’t matter. That’s what I came here for. Aiden said to me in the corner.
“Did you know that we are organizing a new class this time? I recommended Ji-Han.”
I was speechless for a moment.
I wondered why they were gathering, but did those aspiring heroes belong to the class being organized this time? In fact, it is rather strange that they are not selected as the main characters of the game.
“Is it possible for me to wear it for personal reasons? There are many other A-classes.”
“If it were me, I wouldn’t have known, but Oh Yun-seong and Park No-ah also recommended Ji-han.”
“You don’t like it, do you?”
“Of course not.”
The reason for going up to Class A is to take care of Noah Park. Although it is a slightly different method, there was no reason for me to refuse as long as Noah Park entered.
I just expected that the time I would enter the A class would be around the end of the first half, so I didn’t like the growth of my abilities yet. I had no idea that my relationship with Aiden would be affected in this way.
“Um. I thought so. You were going to go to Class A anyway. There are better instructors, and that magical talent will be able to bloom more.”
“…just in case, I’m asking, didn’t I mention that I know how to use magic?”
When I asked with anxiety, Aiden snorted as if not to worry.
“Of course. Who would like it. Besides, if there is such a rare case, a certain wizard might pay attention to it.
Aiden smiled and made a zip-locking motion.
. . . yes. When it becomes known that I, who has never been taught magic, can use magic, some mad mage may try to rip my mana rod right away.
“Anyway, I know what you’re talking about.”
“like.”
After the conversation, we went back to the table. Aiden sat down, and I pulled an empty chair next to Oh Yun-ha and sat down.
‘…He seems to have gotten worse.’
I glanced to the side, and Oh Yoon-ha didn’t even look at me sitting next to me in a slouched posture. This time, Yoon-seong Oh was injured, and it seems to have made him more depressed.
‘It might sound like the last time I talked to you…’
Better to just stay still. As I sat down, Layt spoke to me as if I was waiting.
“When you catch a mine, you took the lead, right?”
I looked at Yoon Sung Oh and Noah Park, who were with me at that time. Then they gave their consent with a wink.
“Yes. That’s right.”
Layette seemed to think for a moment, then opened her mouth.
“Well, anyway, it’s at least a month before we can officially create a class. Until then, we’re planning to run it as a test in parallel with your existing class. It’s unusual and there are recommendations, so it’s not bad for you to be there until then.”
“But maybe there will be a backlash?”
I still have a bad image.
If you think about Gide’s words at the entrance ceremony this time, he seems to have attracted attention because he was a public servant with a huge amount of performance.
“repulsion?”
Layette glanced at the aspiring heroes of Class A and smiled.
“Well, there may be. Still, if you can handle it, there will be no problem. Eat rice all the time and go.”
uhh First of all, I eat, but I feel like I’m going to pretend I’m not here for some reason. I thought it would be easy to eat.
Thirling-.
There was a sound of music from somewhere. Maybe it was Layette’s bell, so he pulled out his phone and picked it up.
After checking the caller’s name, Lairt jumped up from his seat. Everyone looked at him at Lairt’s sudden action.
“I’m going to do the calculations, so let’s eat together.”
“Uh, where are you going?”
In response to Yurin’s question, Layette waved her hand as she answered the phone. Perhaps something really urgent happened, Layette went out of the restaurant at a fast pace.
Did something happen?
‘More than that, I’m going to calculate…’
that child.
just went out
After receiving the call, Leit ran to the security room. When I opened the door, the security guard and Jenna Walkers were already looking at the screen.
Layette was puzzled to see Jenna being there.
“Huh? Jenna Walkers. Why are you here?”
Jenna looked at the layer for a moment and then turned her gaze back to the screen.
“I got a call today because I was on duty.”
“Hmm. Well, it would be nice to see you too. So did you find it?”
As Layert approached and shook his head, the security guard pointed to one of the CCTV footage on the screen.
“You see an aspiring hero who has turned into that demon over here?”
On the screen the guard was pointing at, Gide’s back was visible. As her time passed, Gid turned her gaze towards the woods, and she suddenly began to transform into her demon as she bowed her back and raised her arms.
Layette and Jena felt their minds getting mixed up as they watched the process.
“Um, did you pick up the Kaesong Stone now?”
“It’s like looking at changes.”
One after another, Cain and Isu, who seemed to have come to find Gid, appeared. They hurriedly ran into the forest to see if they found something while checking Gid’s condition. And before long, they too staggered and appeared on the screen again in the form of mine-making in progress.
“But if you look closely at this…”
The guard stopped the video and zoomed in towards the forest. Then, behind Cain and Isu, through the trees, someone appeared for a brief moment. Looking at the color and design, the characteristics were clear and we could tell what it was.
“Black, school uniform…?”
You could see the uniforms of Yoosung Academy.
“Are you aspiring to be a hero? Does that mean he had a personality stone?”
“I guess that’s what it means to appear over there…. But it’s too early to judge.”
“Is there any way to investigate?”
“I’ll look for it by magic.”
Layette and Jenna quickly finished the conversation and moved immediately to see if a decision had been made. As they left the security room, Layt exclaimed.
“Thank you. Security guard! You work hard.”
“Haha. This is my job, what?”
thud! The door to the security room was closed.
The guard stared at the closed door and then quietly dialed somewhere. As soon as someone answered the phone, he said calmly.
“I did as you were told.”
Then a man’s voice crackled from the other side of the phone.
[-Ah, you worked hard%. What do you see?]
“It’s too early to make a quick decision, but we’re still open to other possibilities. It doesn’t seem like we’re easily fooled.”
[-Well, now that’s it.$. I understand.]
The security guard listened more to his voice, fearing that he would not be able to hear anything.
“By the way, where are you, why are the phone calls disconnecting?”
[-Ah, right now in the basement corpse %house. Wouldn’t it be more convenient to do the pre&rework?]
I wondered why the phone was disconnected, but it seems that the other party is in the basement of the Yoosung Academy, so the radio waves are not reaching well.
“Okay. Then I’ll hang up the phone.”
[-yes.]
The security guard politely bowed one last time and ended the call.
“Take a hard time! Instructor Choi Ye-chan.”
The food was very tasty.
Perhaps it was not for nothing they were selling special dishes, so the dishes were organized in a course format. From appetizers to main dishes. Now it was time to eat and wait for dessert.
‘…it was good to come.’
I like the math, but Aiden will buy me my share, well. With that in mind, I drank the water poured from the wine glass. The more expensive the water, the more delicious it seems.
“Hmmm.”
At that moment, a gray haired man sat down in the empty seat where Layette had been sitting before. He leaned openly towards me and spoke to me.
“Your name is Seoji-kun, isn’t it?”
Line Castel….
Along with Aiden, he belongs to the ‘Tower’ and is the ‘Prince’ on the 7th floor. He could already feel that aristocratic atmosphere from his actions and tone of voice.
“By the way?”
Castel said with a strangely eerie smile at my answer.
“Haha. I recently learned a word to describe a case like yours.”
“Did you say parachute?”
Even though he was arguing with me, for some reason, Oh Yun-ha, who was next to me, flinched.
‘Why are you doing this again…?’
I looked at Yunha Oh but didn’t say anything, so I sighed and said.
“So what are you going to do with me?”
“I just want you to convince me.”
I understand. I looked around the table. Of course, as if there was an unspoken agreement, there was no sign of stopping Rhein Castell. It was just that Rhine Castell spoke to me by volunteering to represent the settlement.
Aiden, who was watching the situation, said to Castell.
“Hey, Mr. Castel. What do you mean now that the instructor said there was no problem?”
Castell smiled slyly at Aiden.
“Ellen. I’m not really raising any objections. They’re just friends who will become classmates together, so there’s nothing wrong with knowing your skills, right?”
“What is that….”
“That’s right. I see what you mean.”
To my answer, Castell exaggeratedly said oh.
‘I’d rather be good.’
Line Castell is the one who betrayed Noah Park by attaching to Aiden when she awakened as a witch of blue flames. The reason is simple. Because she was in love with Ellen Aiden.
‘Castell is doing this now, not normally.’
It’s probably because Aiden recommended me. Not knowing about the other guys, I needed to step on the Rhine Castel right now. Otherwise, you may end up being annoying.
“Then, can I just fight with you and win?”
“Haha. I think you’re already the strongest in your confidence?”
It’s true that my abilities are far lacking compared to other guys. The same goes for Line Castell. But if I asked him to win one match against this annoying guy, he was confident he would win.
‘That’s the line Castell.’
Because he was a magician who manipulated ‘water’.
