chapter 9
9 – Department Integrated Combat Practice (5)
“Yes, I definitely realized this. It seems that both of them skipped the chapi exam, so I won the bet, right?”
“… That’s how it is.”
“hehehe, I’ll use that wish ticket right away. Contents is…
– Suoo…
The words of one love stopped at the ominous sensation that ran through the brain and spread throughout the body.
While looking around, I spotted a small to medium sized void object at close range in front of my nose.
‘I thought everyone was left out, but there are still people left.’
I haven’t noticed it until now because my senses have been dulled by the void infection.
– Kleurung!
With the charge, the beast in the shape of a beast came down with its huge front paw.
“I’m sorry.”
He wrapped her in his arms, promising her future. And he instinctively stretched out his hand and manifested his power.
It wasn’t until later that I realized that it couldn’t be…
“Frigescite omnia. (Freeze all things.)”
– Hoo… Hoo oh…
For some reason, the coldness of the bitter cold was gathering in my hands.
Of course, it wasn’t comparable to the heyday, but it had enough power to turn at least one void body into nothingness.
– Damn!
– Paaang!
With just one gesture, the frozen enemy was crumbled into bits and pieces of the remnants of the cold.
As soon as the situation was over, I realized the reality and felt embarrassed.
I’m sure it’s me whose magic generating organ was destroyed after last year’s accident. Since then, I haven’t been able to gather even a handful of mana, let alone authority…
The one love in my arms also felt the waves and hardened its expression coldly.
Did you inadvertently misunderstand again?
“You… Just got the ability…?”
“I didn’t know that just now. I swear by my two younger brothers.”
It was the best oath I could make.
My two younger brothers are so precious that I dare not compare them with my own life.
Fortunately, he loosened his frown as if he recognized his sincerity. But the complexion was much more serious.
He doesn’t show it, but he must be resisting the color of the void and continuing to overcome the limits of the limit.
“Ha… You are really… Sacrificing for me this time… Cough Cough!”
“Hey!”
Leaning on my arms, coughing up a huge amount of blood.
“Quickly abstain!”
“Coke, call, that’s how it should be. Shall we talk about unfinished business later?”
“…Yes.”
“Cough Coke! If I run away again… Are you really going to not let me go? hehehe.”
One love, who looked like he was on the verge of dying, smiled at me while wiping the blood from his mouth.
The last greeting the pure white saintess sends after being engulfed in darkness is really…
‘It is fatal.’
In this way, Hansarang abstained and escaped virtual reality, and I, the last one left, shouted while covering the sky with my palm.
“Frigescite omnia. (Freeze all things.)”
…
Of course, not even a handful of mana was gathered.
What the hell just happened?
“Cough, Cough, Cough!”
Things that I had barely endured in front of one love suddenly surged up.
Blood regurgitated from the shattered intestines rose up and vomited up enough to form a puddle.
“Am I too far?”
Closing my eyes and collapsing on the floor, I also declared my resignation.
– Notice, thank you for your hard work. Back to reality.
– Rank 1205 Wizard Baek Hanil. Your survival rank is #1.

When I opened my eyes again, the pain was completely gone and I got up lightly.
Someone knocked on the capsule, telling them to get up quickly in the virtual reality hall, which had been emptied since most of them had dropped out.
When I press the unmount button and get out of the device, he greets me with a smile.
“The real air definitely feels different, doesn’t it?”
“… I don’t know.”
“Anyway, it’s insensitive, but by the way, they say I’m second. Second!”
“Congratulations.”
As I answered roughly, he puffed up his cheeks and stabbed me in the vicinity of my side.
She went back to her former self, as if she had forgotten her work during the exam.
“If I’m second, you’re number one, right?”
“Yes.”
“It’s going up a few steps in the alternative rankings. You don’t have to worry about your score for a while, can you?”
“Sure.”
“Chi, that’s not funny. I have no luck.”
She spontaneously grabbed my forearm and as she exited her virtual reality tube, a man at her entrance called me.
To look back on my vague memories, was it the professor who was in charge of this test?
“They don’t look like a good couple. Maybe that’s why they look more like each other?”
“I hope you only talked about what you were doing.”
“To the point? You already know what I’m going to say, don’t you?”
Of course, there were some guesses.
“From the senior professors to the president, no, everyone present turned upside down. What happened to you?”
“I don’t know either.”
“You know it’s not a matter that can be moved with an answer like that.”
He interrogates me like a detective with sharp eyes.
No, I really don’t know, so I say I don’t know.
“No matter how many times you ask, all I can say is the same.”
“You… Uhhh. Any guesses why?”
“… I’m thinking of asking the Seolwon side to investigate.”
“Snowfield? Ah, your guild was there. They still take care of you?”
I cut her off as I felt like something was throwing me into an inducing interrogation.
Because there are many people who are active as academy professors among the forces that are hostile to me.
“Son, be vigilant. Anyway, when the results come out, will you let us know?”
“Contact Seolwon directly. I’d like to tell you something like that.”
“There is no such thing as a serpent who is cunning in changing words. Okay, go ahead and rest. Have a good date with the saintess.”
It was annoying to reply, so I nodded my head without a soul and turned around to hear a hearty laugh.
He said, ‘Even if it collapses, is the 100th Korea Day the 100th Korea Day?
“What did you say when you went?”
“Just like this and that.”
“Isn’t that something you can’t tell me?”
“No, it’s not like that…”
“Then can you tell me?”
Did you say the difference between innocence and insanity is a piece of paper?
I had no choice but to ask with a smiling face.
“… Abilities. They asked what happened.”
“Aha! It’s you and not anyone else, so that’s good enough. Can you guess why?”
I told the same story I told the professor.
“Hmm, sure. Will you let me know the results of your investigation?”
“No.”
“I heard it wrong, can you repeat it?”
“No.”
“I didn’t hear you, could you say it again?”
“No.”
“Looks wrong, but again…”
“Okay, I got it.”
Perhaps he is satisfied only then, he hums a song and walks with exaggerated gestures as if he were dancing.
“hehehe, fix that habitual rejection.”
I wanted to be able to live a peaceful and quiet life now after losing my ability, but a piece of gum rolled in from somewhere and stuck to me.
I’m sure you weren’t hostile to me until a few days ago.
“…You go home today.”
“Of course I have to go back.”
While listening to it, I was really grateful.
“Good idea, tell me the address and I’ll call you a taxi…”
“Yes? The only home I can return to is yours.”
“Where I used to live…”
“That’s not a house? Yes… A place that takes your breath away the moment you enter and is afraid is not a home.”
Teacher Hansarang then explained.
A home is a warm place where you can put down all your masks and burdens.
A place where people who are happy just to be together are waiting for you.
It is said that it is a place where you can eat with a smile, shower with a smile, and go to sleep with a smile.
“So I’m going back. To your house.”
– Huoh…
Face reddened as if it had been bathed in the glow of the twilight, the wind blowing at just the right time blows the falling cherry blossom petals in our path.
At the moment when all the beauty of her world stood out at the same time, all of her became her extras and decorated her with a single smile.
In the meantime
‘Beautiful’
Unbeknownst to me, I felt that way.

As soon as I arrived at the house in a mysterious atmosphere that was difficult to explain, the short twilight time was over.
When I went down to the living room after taking a shower in the shower room on the second floor, I saw Han Sarang sitting on the sofa wearing only short sleeves that came down to her knees.
Where did you throw away the shorts I gave you?
“My wand is here? Let me dry my hair.”
“A cane can’t do that.”
“Because my cane is equipped with cutting-edge AI?”
She learned through experience that an argument only bothers me more, so she picked up the dryer without saying anything.
Her big sofa had plenty of room for her to sit on, so she sat down behind it and started drying her hair.
Somehow, this looks like a back hug.
“Cande? Give me a scalp massage too!”
“I’m very like you, right?”
“I don’t know the word Shidabari. And I’m hungry. What are you going to do for me?”
It was shameless to want to hit her, but when she faced her with a bashful smile, her hand went down.
“… It’s hard to come after practicing, let’s just order chicken from Chi.Sa.Mo.”
“Kyaa that sounds delicious~☆”
Why is the hair so long?
I tried to get out of the seat by turning my aching wrist…
“Ugh… Sleepy.”
Han Sarang lay on her back and pressed me down with her back. In the wind, the fragrant shampoo smelled unexpectedly.
“If you say it’s heavy, I won’t get out of my way for the rest of my life.”
“…It’s as light as a feather, can you move quickly?”
“Really? If it’s that light, wouldn’t it be okay to stay like this?”
I have nothing to say. What are you doing with this stuff?
I stayed like that for a long time without saying anything, until the doorbell rang.
After setting the delivered chicken on the table in front of the sofa, a movie for the visually impaired was played.
There is no big difference because it is for the visually impaired, and only the basic lines were used to inform the expression of an unknown character or the background of the event by sound.
“Oh, what is sense?”
“… All OTTs are supported these days.”
“Thank you hehehe. I’ll eat the chicken well too?”
She ate a well-fried chicken leg with her own salt.
She opens her mouth after a moment of silence from watching a movie.
It was a scene where the main character and the heroine promise to go on a date the next day.
The sunset is definitely gone, but why are you blushing?
