Chapter 196 – Chapter 196: Preliminary Round 5
A ruthless tournament where a single loss leads to total elimination.
Lee Ha-rin approached with about 100 opponents already paired up.
Intricately drawn lines around the name tag and messy traces that look like graffiti.
“Oh, this is for practice. It’s not this messy thing, it’s this one.”
Traces that have been erased, rewritten, and painted over.
Parents would have shed tears of emotion if it were traces of studying.
Unfortunately, the traces of this desperate agony were concerns for the sake of a hobby.
It’s not because I simply want to see you
A table that takes into account individual achievements and characteristics.
It is filled with passion that cannot be created with a salaryman’s sense of duty.
There is nothing to do anyway, to the point where I feel like listening to an explanation.
“Why did you decide this?”
“Hehe, if you look here-“
When he turned his head slightly, Kim Ha-eun, who was sitting next to him, was gone.
Since she ate everything, did she run away to the city of dreams?
Or did she create a situation where the two of you could be alone with a woman’s loyalty?
Whether or not Kim Ha-eun, who was next to her, quietly disappeared.
Lee Ha-rin’s explanation continued, his eyes twinkling.
When I asked why he was so busy these days, it must have been because of this.
“Here, I put the knights together, but why did you put the knight and the shaman together here?”
“That shaman’s main focus is strengthening the body through necromancy, so I paired it with a knight who focuses on strength. There’s been a lot of talk about who’s stronger between strong body magic and spirited away from a long time ago.”
“Then where is it?”
“They are both knights, but one is a magic knight who uses magic as a sub, and the other is a spirit knight who fights alongside the spirits.”
The match table drawn up by Lee Ha-rin did not use fairness and equality as its motto.
The criteria she sets her matchup schedule for is just for the entertainment of the audience.
Do you think the strong guy will win in the end no matter what the battle luck is?
A knight whose body has been strengthened with mana fights a shaman whose body has been strengthened by possession.
A knight who assists swordsmanship with magic fights a knight who assists spearmanship with spiritism.
A wizard who has honed his psychokinesis magic to the limit fights against pure psychokinesis.
A paladin holding a mace and self-healing fights with a psychic with super-regenerative ability.
A bracket that makes you curious about the match just by listening to the explanation.
I don’t know if it’s a fair matchup, but the curiosity one is awesome.
In addition, it is said that the Murim people were arranged according to the chemistry of martial arts.
“Honestly, unlike knights, the martial arts of the Murim people are very diverse…”
“A little, a lot, probably a lot.”
Hundreds of martial arts knowledge brought by a single Murim Constellation.
If you look at the disciples of the sword that cuts the bridles right away, there are more than dozens of weapons such as swords, spears, swords, and sticks.
Therefore, I have no choice but to understand that the incarnations of Murim had no choice but to be classified simply.
Even so, can Lee Ha-rin, who has an otaku temperament, make a rough compromise?
Matching Murim people, who are good at blacksmithing and poisoning, with flame magicians, etc.
It’s well-organized to stimulate curiosity about whether you can overcome unfavorable compatibility with skill and skill.
“Can I sign this?”
“Yes, please sign the bottom checklist.”
His signature His was scribbled on neat papers instead of dirty papers.
Even if it’s my signature, I wrote the first letter of my last name in big letters
It was written with a pen made using magic, so it must be a more certain signature than anything else.
It seems like yesterday that I was shocked to see the refrigerator in solitary confinement.
Now it’s a situation where you can create a pen in your hand with magic.
A few useless thoughts run through my mind for a moment.
“Are you done with your business now?”
“Yes, it is.”
Lee Ha-rin, who rolled up the papers and put them in her arms her, nodded.
Rolling up thin A4 paper and putting it in the inside pocket, it doesn’t get wrinkled.
I thought it was a state where magic permeated even in the smallest places.
Of course, the important thing is not a thin sheet of paper that does not wrinkle.
Now that the preliminaries have ended in vain and the work to be done is over, time has become empty
You can see it as a great opportunity to do what you’ve been wanting to do against Lee Ha-rin for a long time.
“Then.”
“Yes, is there anything I should do?”
Her eyes twinkle as she looks at me.
Eyes full of blind loyalty and love.
“Give me your cell phone.”
“…Yes?”
Those eyes are colored with colorful emotions.
※
The reason I wanted to steal Lee Ha-rin’s cell phone was simple.
As a hobby, I checked the official database and looked for constellation information.
Lee Ha-rin, who reads the news from the four continents every day to learn about Hwashin
Because she was curious about how much information she was doing with it.
Did you download the photobook of the incarnations?
Or maybe you clipped a newspaper article?
Maybe they organized the Excel tables as if they were playing a game.
“Why?”
“…”
So I thought it was a good way to pass the time.
Looking at Han Ye-ji’s broadcast favorites list together
Just like how we spent our time lying around in bed
It’s not a bad thing to stick together by sharing hobbies.
When the story of a constellation or an incarnation comes up without thinking about hiding it, your eyes light up
Didn’t Han Ye-ji, Kim Ha-eun, and Song Ye-na explain so enthusiastically that they laughed awkwardly?
An otaku who is passionate enough to want to spread the word to others beyond what he enjoys.
So, of course, he thought he would show me some of his collection.
“Is there anything you can’t show me?”
“That’s not it…”
Full of bewilderment, she shows the first hesitation at my command.
He carried the palanquin on her shoulders and endured even the task of attending to the baths.
Was it really that difficult to ask to see my cell phone?
To be honest, showing your phone vs revealing all your subconscious desires
If you compare like this, isn’t it a level where it doesn’t matter if you just show your cell phone?
Just like there are few guys from the previous life who stop me by saying I can’t show them my phone when I ask them to.
However, my doubts were easily resolved.
After hesitating, Lee Ha-rin placed her smartphone in my hand.
In a smartphone that maintains the basic screen without a password—
“Nothing?”
“Yes, I’m sorry.”
“No, nothing to be sorry about.”
Really, nothing.
As well as additionally installed applications for convenience
There was no secret page for shady desires.
All he had was calls and messages with the people at the academy.
‘I’m sorry that it won’t be fun to watch.’
Hagiya is Lee Ha-rin, who was experimenting in the magic lab without eating.
I even lost contact with her family by not touching her smartphone with her.
That’s why I left advice for you to leave at least a text message saying hello to your family.
“T-If you’re curious about the data I’ve collected, I’ve collected them in the research building. Shall I bring them?”
“No, that’s fine. You don’t have to bother going there.”
“Then, even this…”
Lee Ha-rin shyly takes out the documents from her arms as if she is sorry for having only this.
So, papers, stacks of papers, theses that go beyond hundreds of pages…
I forgot what to say when I saw him pull out a piece of paper that was over a span of size, probably from a pocket that had magic on it.
Saying sorry for not having anything to show you, and taking out a wad of paper thicker than an encyclopedia?
A paper thick enough to be believed even if you say it is a phone book with just a hard cover.
When I glanced at the first chapter, it was a detailed analysis of a constellation I didn’t even know the name of.
“It was a document I used to write as a hobby, but I’ve been busy lately and stopped updating it.”
I wonder if the word renewal is used for hobbies.
The reason for analyzing the constellation made me even more dizzy.
Oh my God, do you analyze the taste of the constellation by researching even the smallest common denominators of the incarnations?
Based on the results of that analysis, you want to see if you can snipe the incarnation contract?
A document that is more like a management analysis by a professional institution than a hobby area.
From height and weight to hair color, hobbies and habits, to the tone of voice.
There was a material that the marketing team of a large company would have put their heart and soul into.
‘I think it’s a bit difficult to laugh and talk about thishaha.’
You can laugh while watching the game broadcast.
Constellations, vanguard riders who are advancing forward, prefer women over 170 in height, with straight brown or black hair.
How the hell do you create a sweet atmosphere after seeing such a stiff analysis?
“I didn’t want to work part-time when I was in school, so I made this document to make some money as a hobby. So there are a lot of things that I am not familiar with.”
“Are you inexperienced?”
No, more than that, this is a document that a student made as a hobby while studying at the same time.
Even clippings of documents or newspaper articles that can support the evidence
It is at the level of supporting its claim with statistics and graphs, but where is it immature?
This isn’t-! I felt the same way when I saw a craftsman breaking pottery.
I turned my head and looked at Lee Ha-rin to ask where I was immature.
Receiving my ardent gaze from her, she shook her head as if she was ashamed.
“It’s not accurate data, but it includes all the internet smut. Propaganda, slanderous materials, and bullshit from the community are mixed in the statistics little by little… After that was pointed out, we’re using only certified data. There are very few cases of slander as nonsense. Incarnations keep spreading exaggerated information to brag about their Constellations.”
“That national database?”
“Yes that’s right.”
Is this document the reason why she has been searching her public databases for her hobbies her?
Well, to be honest, I’m the only one who’ll lose out on this story.
If I say one word wrong here, I think Lee Ha-rin will go out of her way and start explaining.
What I want is to create common hobbies with Hwashin
I’m looking for a piece of cake that I can tease a little bit and eat.
It’s not like getting under a pile of thesis-level papers.
