Chapter 244 – Academy Festival (4)
*
“How far are you planning to go!”
Soo-ah, who followed silently, murmured. She has come a long way by now.
Normally, there are few people on the trail, but today I saw a lot of people coming in from outside.
Although it is early, merchants selling food have already caught my eye.
‘It’s a festival day.’
It’s called a food truck, or it seems that there are people who came in for the festival.
Although there are many restaurants inside the academy, considering that many people will come in, the inside stores are probably not enough.
A yakitori restaurant that puts on a spectacular fire show to attract people’s attention, and the seasoning looked appetizing.
“Want some?”
“Can’t you hear me?”
I dragged Soo-ah, who was trying to shake off my hand, and moved to a chicken skewer restaurant.
Minji and the other kids decided to meet later, so it wouldn’t be a problem to go out with Sua for a while.
“Welcome!”
The owner, who was grilling chicken skewers in the middle of it, smiled at us and smiled.
As I got closer, the smell seemed quite plausible.
“I’d like one of the regular flavors, please. What do you want to eat?”
“Ha… Annoying guy… Give me the extreme taste of death.”
Sua gave up her rebellion and ordered chicken skewers, probably knowing my personality.
By the way, the extreme taste of death?
I don’t think these are modifiers that can be put in front of some food, but the boss started to react greatly as soon as he heard Sua’s order.
“Are you really okay? It’s not just spicy, it’s really spicy food. Wouldn’t it be hard for our little girl?”
As soon as he heard the word “Little boy,” Sua’s expression began to harden. She was often mistaken for a high school student, so I didn’t think she was a very sweet word.
“Haha… Are you really okay, lady? This is a menu that even people who say they can eat spicy food can’t eat it.”
“It doesn’t matter, please.”
“Ha ha, I see. Does your girlfriend like spicy food?”
“Who..”
“Yes, I didn’t know either.”
I hurriedly blocked Jung Soo-ah’s mouth, who was about to shout if she was angry at the treatment of her lover.
She was looking up at her with her eyes lifted, and she certainly had a knack for igniting men’s desire for conquest.
“Haha. I guess your boyfriend can’t eat spicy food?”
“It’s because it’s not that spicy.”
The eerie warning written on the menu board emphasizes the spicy taste dozens of times more than Cheongyang pepper. Why?
It’s not that I don’t like spicy, but I didn’t like spicy that exceeded a certain level.
Koreans are famous for being spicy, but I am cautioning that there is no need to endure pain while eating.
Moderate spiciness is enough, and it is not necessary to be recognized for eating well.
“Why can’t I eat spicy food?”
Jung Soo-ah looked at me with a mocking face at my answer.
“Well, it might be too spicy for a spicy person like you to eat.”
“Is it spicy?”
Su-ah looks at me with a face full of ridicule, probably intending to provoke me.
I didn’t expect to be able to make such a face, but it was more pissed off than I thought.
“Would you like the same for your boyfriend?”
“Who is the boyfriend?”
She muttered in a barely audible voice, Jeongsu-ah, her face still full of ridicule.
“Yes. Please give me the same one.”
Sua is eating it, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat it.
“Are you okay? Aren’t you eating and crying?”
Why are you so provocative?
Suah’s face is blatantly provocative and subtly floating.
Could it be that you intend to provoke me in this way and make me demand it?
Are you thinking of ending the contract like this, there’s no way.
When I think about it like that, I think it looks cute, and it’s still in the palm of my hand.
“Here you are.”
I handed the card to the boss and accepted the reddish chicken skewers.
It smelled like a pungent odor, as if it were dangerous to smell.
Is this the right food to eat?
I handed a piece of chicken skewers to Jung Soo-ah and got her card back.
Sua, who was eating chicken skewers with a provocative expression, must have seen my hesitation.
I had no choice but to put the extreme taste of death on skewers in my mouth.
It tasted sweet with a slightly sweet taste.
‘It’s more edible than I thought?’
The moment I started to eat one or two bites, my mouth started to ache.
Maybe the boss warned me for nothing, the spicy taste is stronger than I thought.
[ Pain tolerance reduces pain. ]
Come to think of it, the spicy taste is pain.
When I looked at Jeongsuah with a relaxed expression, I saw Jungsuah eating chicken skewers while inhaling her breath.
It wasn’t a lie that I eat spicy food well, but I definitely ate well. It’s just that the opponent is me.
“Do you think it is very spicy? Can I buy you something to drink?”
“Sup.. Ha.. It’s not spicy at all?”
Tears welled up in Soo-ah’s eyes as the spicy taste intensified as she went further.
I ate chicken skewers with a provocative expression, just like Sua did before.
“You both eat well..”
The president’s exclamation was a bonus.
“Sup… Sup… “
Sua, who seems to be in pain, keeps turning her attention to a drink that is effective in spiciness.
At the same time, seeing her acting as if nothing was wrong, she felt sorry for her and burst into laughter.
“Please give me one colpis too, boss.”
“Why. Sup… It’s also spicy and wet… Can’t you stand it?”
I see her provoking her over and over, so why is she so cute.
I put the purchased drink in my mouth. The sweet peach drink that spreads in your mouth feels a little less painful.
“Spicy.. Eup!”
He kissed Jung Soo Ah.
The drink, which was cool at first, turned lukewarm as the body temperatures mixed with each other.
Soo-ah, who accepts and drinks what I give her, tried to escape from my arms, but it is impossible with Su-ah’s strength.
After handing over all the drinks in her mouth, she opened her mouth.
“Kids these days are hot, but… “
“What… What are you doing! Mmm, you crazy bastard!”
“Because it looks spicy. I don’t think I’ll eat it if you just give it to me.”
Sua nervously took the drink from my hand.
“Don’t… Say it, you crazy bastard… “
Su-ah turned her head away as if she was embarrassed.
Well, it was probably the most spicy kiss I’ve ever experienced.

“Come on next person.”
The entrance to Daehan Academy was crowded with people gathered to participate in the festival.
__Why are you just going in over there?”
__You say you are an academy student.
__Ah, I thought you discriminated against people again.
It was extremely rare for non-Awakened people to visit Daehan Academy, so it was crowded with people who came to not miss the opportunity.
‘Are they even checking IDs?’
In the long line of people, a man watched as security guards controlled the entrance.
What kind of great festival is it to be so picky?
It wasn’t to the extent that he had to book a ticket, but he was tongue-in-cheek watching him check his identity from the entrance.
The man checked his ID and repeated his name.
The man muttering his name awkwardly seemed somehow suspicious, but it wasn’t revealed much because he was buried among so many people.
Watching the lines get smaller and smaller, the man touched his face with awkward hand movements.
‘Won’t it get caught?’
The man touched his face and looked around like an uncomfortable person.
It was the turn of the man who approached like that.
“Could you give me your ID?”
In order to prepare for an accident, they carefully check their IDs.
“Hey..Here I am..”
“Kim Chi-hyeok?”
“Yes..? Yes.”
His voice cracked with nervousness, and he felt a cold sweat running down his back, but the security guard, who had seen his ID card and his face several times, reached out his hand.
‘Did it…Fuck it? He made a lot of promises.’
While the man was contemplating whether to run away even now, the guard sighed and continued.
“You cannot go inside without paying the entrance fee.”
“Ah… I forgot. G.. My wallet.. Oh, here it is.”
“Please do not cause trouble inside the academy. Have a good time then.”
After the calculation was finished, the entrance to the academy opened wide in front of the man.
It was said to be the highest level of security, but the man laughed out loud at the absurd appearance.
They said that the level of barriers had recently risen and could not be crossed, so I never thought they would open them like this.
“Is this the academy?”
The man also had applied for the Daehan Academy in the past, but there was a memory that he gave up his dream after failing in the entrance exam.
I thought there would be no ties in this life, but I never thought I would come in this way.
“The air feels different too.”
Seeing the people looking around excitedly, not knowing what was about to happen, I felt my body itching to move at any moment.
How will the faces of people who look happy now be distorted?
Thinking about it made me feel thrilled already.
‘This is the most cherished place in the Association. What if something happened here?’
The reason the association has so much power is that it has that much power, but it is because it is supported by the people.
Whenever a monster appears, it is the association that moves the fastest and settles down, so it is an indispensable existence to survive from monsters.
Trust that they will protect you.
In order to destroy the association, it was necessary to break that trust. What would happen if the incident occurred in a place directly managed by the association?
What if you can’t even properly recover there and just get incompetent?
Maybe it doesn’t have much effect. But someone will question the existence of the Association.
If you continue to show incompetence, it won’t be long before the smallest questions grow bigger.
And today was the day to announce the beginning.
The man took out his smartphone and checked the time.
‘There’s still time before the assembly.’
She was going to enter the academy the same way as the rest of the staff.
She said that the woman has a way to open the gate, but she can only move one person at a time, so she’s at high risk of getting caught.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
The man licked his lips while waiting for the upcoming operation.
How great is she that she has dropped herself. The man started walking aimlessly through the academy while waiting for the operation.
“… “
Without knowing that someone is watching you.
