Chapter 110 – 110 Group Evaluation (10)
*
After Kim Si-woo and Lee Da-eun went missing, the academy was doing their best to find them.
The artificial dungeon inside the academy was one of the dungeons with ancient technology.
Occasionally, traces of magnetic substances or dungeons with advanced technology are found beyond the gate, and the dungeon used in this evaluation was of that type.
As a joke, it was a dungeon created by a dragon or demon king, and advanced technology was applied.
The artificial system in the dungeon could freely create traps, monsters, and terrain to prevent intruders if there was magic.
When you set the entrance and exit of the gate and the level of difficulty, the artifact inside the dungeon automatically created the structure.
For fairness, without anyone’s intervention, the cadets were taking the test in the dungeon created by the set value.
This had never happened before, but this was the first time something as big as this happened.
“This never happened…”
There had never been an incident like this before. Instructors and professors were standing in front of the place where Kim Si-woo and Lee Da-eun disappeared.
One was the second-in-command of the academy, and once a rising super rookie, they were two people who were evaluated as important figures even within the academy.
In the situation where those two disappeared, they were all in a cold sweat because they couldn’t even tell if they were alive or dead.
In particular, one of the two students, Lee Da-eun’s grandfather, Lee Kun-yong, is one of the strongest supporters of the academy.
A group of people with deep knowledge of magic were gathering and checking the area around the place where the two fell.
“I was told that the surveillance function was suddenly broken. Was that after the bomb exploded?”
“Yes Professor.. When we checked, it was the moment when Cadet Kim Si-woo set off a bomb this way.”
The old professor wearing glasses checked his surroundings. As the instructor said, there were fragments of stones scattered everywhere as if a bomb had exploded, and there was a trace of a large hole in the center.
“It must have been a sinkhole this size.”
The moment the bomb exploded, the dungeon system malfunctioned. I thought there was a problem with the simple surveillance function, but it wasn’t.
In fact, while discussing entry, Kang Min-ji came out with an expression on the verge of crying and delivered the news that two people had fallen into the sinkhole.
“It looks like a portal opened downwards.”
“It’s closed now.”
“Until now, this had never happened… That’s strange.”
“It seems to have happened when I was shocked with less stabilization. It appears that the artifact’s functionality has temporarily failed.”
The professor wearing glasses replied while reading the flow of magical power around him.
“Are you talking about stabilization?”
“Everyone knows that this dungeon itself has a high level of technology. Building an environment like this in such a short amount of time is not an easy task. As such, creating new environments on a large scale can introduce weaknesses.”
“Are you saying that the part where the bomb exploded was that part?”
“Yes… And the portal seems to be malfunctioning. It’s my first time, so it’s hard to be sure.”
Pit traps were traps that were frequently created in dungeons. The problem is that the end of the pit was connected to the portal.
Like the so-called dungeon sinkhole.
“This… I never could have imagined this would happen.”
It wasn’t that there weren’t cadets who broke down walls like Kim Si-woo during the evaluation process.
It was the first thing that happened during the evaluation.
“I will need to check more closely in the future.”
“I will have to supplement the contents of the evaluation in the future.”
“The two cadets should be safe, but I’m worried.”
Kang Min-ah, who had been quietly listening to her opinion behind her, opened her mouth. Her face looked somehow agitated and unwell.
“That… So, will the cadets be safe? It’s not our West… No, class cadets aren’t at fault, right?”
“You’re right! We must find the two cadets!”
Mina Kang was trying to keep her composure as much as possible. She felt like she was about to collapse at any moment, but she was holding on.
I felt sorry for Lee Da-eun, but she was more worried about Kim Si-woo.
‘If there is a problem with Mr. West… I am…’
Her eyes darkened and her heart raced madly with her anxiety, but she tried not to show it.
“It seems that it has been moved to another space. To be honest, it’s hard to say for sure. Professor Kang Min-ah.”
“What do you mean?!”
“There shouldn’t have been a big problem in the process of moving. But since I don’t know what the portal’s exit is…”
“Still, those two would be fine. Cadet Lee Da-eun has the skills, and Cadet Kim Si-woo has the ability to quickly judge the situation and respond well.”
If it’s Siwoo Kim, it’ll be fine. According to what I’ve seen so far, he was never a person who would die anywhere.
Kang Min-a kept praying and praying in her heart.
“I think we will be able to get the coordinates soon.”
“This is so absurd. An accident like this will happen again…”
“By the way, how should I evaluate Time Attack?”
At the words of one instructor, everyone put on a worried expression.
Every team is given only one chance, and it was not fair to give them another chance.
There was a high probability that they already knew all the contents of the test and knew what kind of environment would come out.
“It’s unfortunate, but there won’t be any surprises…”
It was an accident, but it was a problem caused by Cadet Lee Da-eun not being able to react to the trap.
“Then, the team with Yoon Seo-ah will be in first place, and the team with cadet Lee Da-eun will be in second place.”
“In terms of time, that would probably be the case.”

I had just finished my meal with cream soup. Corn porridge is pretty good too, but I’ll have to eat it for dinner.
‘I don’t want to get my hands cold.’
Da-eun was cleaning up with magic. I tried to help, but they said they would do it alone, so I had no choice but to be kicked out here.
They said I looked cold there and covered me with a blanket.
Although it was treated with magic, a strange smell came up a little. Still, I have to write to live.
“Is it snowing?”
It was fine earlier, but when she checked outside the cave, it was already raining.
As the snow began to pile up on the footprints we left as we entered the cave, our tracks began to be erased.
If that happens, it will be difficult for the rescue team to come and find us later, but I was seriously thinking about whether or not we should load it.
“What are you doing Siwoo?”
While I was thinking about it, Da-eun approached and talked to me.
The bright smile on his face was full of love.
‘Let’s not load it.’
“I was just watching because there was a snowstorm.”
“Isn’t it very cold..?”
After saying that, Da-eun sneaked in next to me. I felt Da-eun’s warm warmth.
“How was our evaluation?”
“I don’t know… It’s hard to get a good score, right?”
Da-eun muttered with a sad expression.
“Isn’t that still our top rank?”
“I hope so… Hehe.”
In the previous round, in terms of time alone, our ranking was second.
Although we fell into the sinkhole, it was also close to the exit, and if Minji and Kang Joo-won went outside without getting lost, it was worth aiming for first place.
To be honest, the chances of that happening were small, but it wouldn’t be a low ranking.
It must be difficult to win a bet with Seo-ah. To be honest, it was a situation where the time difference was significant.
Even in the scenario quest, it would be difficult to get the highest reward.
However, when he turned his head, Da-eun, smiling with an affectionate expression, caught his eye.
‘Okay, let’s not load it.’
I didn’t like that all the time I had with Da-eun would disappear.
You can load it and repeat it again, but it still feels different.
“Can we stay here? Siwoo?”
“Are you coming to get me soon?”
“Yeah… That’s right?”
There was a hint of regret in Da-eun’s voice.
“You know. Siwoo…?”
When I turned my head at the trembling voice for some reason, I saw Da-eun looking at me with a serious expression.
“What’s wrong, Da-eun?”
“What do you think of me?”
“You?”
“Huh…”
When she first awakened her ability, she had a desire to get closer to her because she was a heroine.
I may be a bad guy, but everyone is precious to me. Minji, Minah, Seoah, and Daeun were the women I didn’t want to miss.
“My..”
“For a moment..”
Before I could open my mouth, Da-eun opened her mouth first.
“Minji and… Not an ordinary partnership, right?”
“Uh…? No, that’s why… We’re just close friends…”
I was embarrassed for the first time in a long time, not knowing that the story about Minji would suddenly come out. Da-eun smiled bitterly when she saw me like that.
“I might be wrong, but… Since we were next to each other… It didn’t seem like a normal relationship.”
“So Da-eun..”
I suddenly felt a cold sweat break out. Actually, if you look at it, I did something bad.
“Um… Siwoo did nothing wrong. Today I was forced to do that… As if nothing happened…”
Da-eun tried to say nothing, but tears welled up in her eyes.
“Because I was forced to do it… Because Siwoo just accepted it…”
At the sound of her crying voice, I held Da-eun’s hand tightly. I caught Da-eun trying to turn his head.
“No. It was forced. I was liking you too.”
“I…Really?”
“Yeah, that’s not a lie.”
With tears welling up in his eyes, Da-eun’s expression suddenly brightened.
“Then what about Minji?”
“…”
It was difficult to answer easily. Minji is as precious as Daeun is.
Cold sweat was pouring down and his head was getting complicated, but Da-eun spoke up first.
“Hehe, I guess I was right!”
In response to her reaction, Da-eun proudly pushed her breasts out with a bright expression on her face.
“My grandfather had many wives…So I don’t care about that.”
“Uh… Huh?”
“My grandfather said that it is okay for a man with ability to have many women.”
I don’t know who it is, but I felt grateful. Is there no problem then?
“Is there anyone else…?”
“Uh…Huh?”
In an instant, the faces of Seo-ah and Min-ah passed by.
“I see… But it’s okay.”
Da-eun grabbed my face.
“Promise me this… Can you love me the same?”
“Yes. Of course.”
It was a word that could be answered without hesitation. I’m the type to take responsibility for all my women.
They were trying to close their eyes and kiss each other.
“Cadet Kim Si-woo!!!!!! Cadet Lee Da-eun!!!!!”
Mina’s voice came from afar. It seems that they have already come to rescue us. I was worried that they might not be able to find us, but they could be heard very clearly even from a distance, probably using magic.
“It’s fast…”
I checked the smell of the blanket I was putting on. Even though I washed it, I quietly put the blanket in my inventory.
“Then shall we go?”
“Huh!”
