Chapter 371 – Little by Little Bloom (5)
*
Feeling stuffy, I didn’t do anything wrong, so why do I have to feel this way?
For some reason, I felt like my body was heavy, and I couldn’t concentrate well.
I tried to solve the piled up things by myself, but somehow I kept feeling clumsy and only got stressed out.
Lately, I haven’t been able to sleep well, and my condition has been all messed up.
“Whoa.. Whoa..”
In the end, more than half of the targets missed and sighed. It seemed clear that I would not be able to do well in my studies if I continued like this.
As I sat down with the thought of resting for a while, the human face kept flickering.
You should be careful on your own, but you seem to be approaching indifferently.
As for her relationship with a man and a woman, it is normal for a woman to meet a man, and taking her monogamy for granted, she had no intention of entering into a relationship between Yoon Seo-ah and Kim Si-woo.
Of course, unlike her mindset, it can’t be helped that she keeps getting worried.
I don’t think the time we’ve been together will be easily erased, but after a while, we’ll be able to stay friends.
‘Because we’ve been just friends all along.’
Didn’t she think of her as an ordinary friend until she entered the rift world?
It wasn’t a special relationship, and nothing really changed. If you just manage your emotions right now, you’ll be able to live like the past.
The moment I was about to start training again, I heard a bell ringing from the entrance to the DIA training room.
“Dae-eun?”
“Hello, Hyeji?”
The person who came suddenly was none other than Lee Da-eun. I looked around but saw no one else besides Lee Da-eun.
Usually Lee Da-eun knew that she often trained with Kim Si-woo’s group, but I don’t know what was going on, but for now, she went inside with Lee Da-eun.
“You were training to hit the target.”
Lee Da-eun smiled meaningfully when she saw her own score. She’s more than good at all, even if she’s the worst score.
As a rival, she didn’t want to show this, but Park Hye-ji hurriedly turned off her score window.
“Oh..I’m not in good shape today, but I’m usually more accurate..”
“Did I not say anything?”
“Uh…How long do you think you’ll be in second place? Again, I will rise to the top.”
“Huh. Yes. That’s what Hyeji always says.”
Even though she herself is speaking so seriously, she laughs casually, and how long can she be so relaxed on a subject where only one number makes a difference?
“You… Until when…”
“I came because I was just worried about Hyeji.”
“Relax.. Worried?”
What do you mean by worrying about yourself?
“Um… Just because you look a little tired these days?”
“… “
Was it obvious enough that others could notice? She also seems to be lacking in controlling her emotions yet.
Even so, she couldn’t show a weak side to her rivals.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I have no problem. Thank you for your concern.”
“Before, my class often came to play. I can’t see you these days.”
“That… I just went to visit my grandfather. These days, I don’t have work, so I just don’t go.”
He only went to visit his grandfather, not for any other purpose.
Isn’t it normal to live in one’s own class? It was never because of Siwoo Kim.
“Okay..?”
“Yes. So, is that all there is to do?”
“Your expression looks darker than before, and you don’t seem to be able to concentrate well.”
“It’s simply because of lack of sleep. There is no problem, so no need to worry. I need to train, so stop… “
“If you don’t want to tell me, how about sparring after a long time?”
I couldn’t help but pause at those words. Without the Dalian exam, there was hardly any chance to fight Lee Da-eun.
I thought I had made a lot of progress lately, so I had a thought that I wanted to fight at least once.
‘Wouldn’t I win now…?’
In order to become a senior, I had to climb someday, so I wanted to check Lee Da-eun’s skills.
Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen her properly.
It’s just a ranking made through various evaluations. I lost to Lee Da-eun in the past, but that was just the past.
If she is herself who has grown more than then, wouldn’t she be able to beat Lee Da-eun?
“Are you confident?”
“Um… A little? Lol.”
“I may have lost then, but it will be different now.”
“Um… If Hyeji loses instead, tell me honestly. Um… If I lose, do you want anything?”
“If Miss Da-eun loses, please promise that she will not interfere with my training in the future.”
“I’m sorry… Did I bother you?”
“Well… Maybe that’s the case. But it doesn’t matter now. Because I really wanted to hang out with you again.”
*
Park Hye-ji checked her swords on her own waist one by one.
It wasn’t a weapon for sparring, she had the weapons she normally used.
On the outside, she may seem friendly and complacent, but Lee Da-eun was the second-in-command of her Daehan Academy.
She was not an opponent to be defeated lightly. She only looked like that because her team was evaluated on a team basis and it was a difficult environment for her to play an active role, but she also had monster-like skills.
Even in this friendly match. Except for the problem of her poor mobility, would it be easy to spread such elaborate trap magic on the field?
As well as her concentration in setting up her magic circle, the amount of her magical energy was absolutely at a level that could not be ignored.
In addition, she is a cadet with enough power to destroy Yang Hye-mi with a single shot.
“Hyeji~ Aren’t you being too serious?”
“Look in your mirror and say it.”
“Um… That’s right. As expected, when the other person is wise, I think I get nervous too.”
She spoke in her usual soft voice, but her eyes were sharp.
Judging from the fact that her momentum was more unusual than when she fought in the past, it seems that she and Lee Da-eun have also grown.
“Take it seriously. I will do that too!!!”
Although she is called an all-around dealer capable of both long-range and close-range attacks.
Depending on her opponent, it is possible to respond flexibly, but it was difficult to beat Lee Da-eun because of her long-distance engagement ability.
‘Inherent area.’
As she released her magical powers around her, her synchronized magical powers began to create spray around her.
Her mass of water began to spin around herself, and as she swung her sword at the same time, her huge wave crashed over Lee Da-eun.
‘Also. Doesn’t it work?’
Lee Da-eun, who used her own area as if to counter it when she used it.
Her hair, dyed purple by her magical powers, stood up.
Lee Da-eun, her purple eyes glowing, stretched out her hand, and her electric shock shattered her own wave.
Her response was quick enough to be said to be instant. The scary thing about Lee Da-eun was that her attack power was not only her attack power, but her attack speed was also fast.
It’s hard to see her going faster than lightning.
‘Now!’
As she stepped back, a purple lightning bolt fell on the spot where she was standing.
One room, two rooms, Lee Da-eun’s lightning attack strikes like a storm as if she had no intention of allowing access.
The lightning that fell to the ground has the property of spreading in all directions, so even though I succeeded in avoiding it, a thrill came up.
If I was hit by a direct hit over there, I would probably be unable to move my body and allow the next attack.
__Bang!! Bang!! Bang!! Kwaaang!!!
Deafening thunderbolts began to strike from the sky incessantly.
She had to move her feet incessantly to dodge her lightning bolts, which fell as if it were raining on her.
‘There’s no chance of winning at this rate.’
Lee Da-eun’s magical power resembled her electricity. She had a similar, if not identical, form to the electricity that occurs in nature.
She counters all of her attacks with a simple gesture of reaching out her hand whenever she creates a wave or creates sword energy with water.
Her body shuddered with electricity as she rode through the ground with each blow. Even if she tried to block it with her magic, it was not enough.
‘If this continues, I’ll lose the same way as before.’
It is said that Lee Da-eun’s weakness is close combat, but in fact, if she is in a position to fight alone without an ally, she is not that weak even in close combat.
If the opponent approaches, it’s enough to discharge electricity in all directions.
However, it was the same that even if she responded like this from a distance, there was no answer.
‘As expected… I can’t help it!’
Park Hye-ji bent her waist and rushed toward her Lee Da-eun.
Lee Da-eun, who read that she was going to rush, began to strike down her lightning bolt.
Even if she was hit with just one shot, fatal attacks hit her from all sides, but Park Hye-ji ran without stopping.
‘It’s the footsteps she learned from her grandfather!’
As the spray began to spin rapidly around her body, she began to gain even more speed.
She uses unadulterated water to increase her electrical resistance and uses her magic to accelerate further.
Because of the sudden increase in speed, the distance was shortened in an instant.
Park Hye-ji grabbed her sword to strike her sword.
“It’s over!!!!”
A distance that could be said to be zero, Park Hye-ji also used alcohol on her feet.
“… !!!”
__ Support support!! Support support!!!!
She couldn’t move her sword because something indescribable force forced her back.
Park Hye-ji’s sword, which did not move no matter how hard she applied it, was right before it touched Lee Da-eun’s body.
“I’m sorry, Hyeji.”
“What…What are you doing…”
“Sorry.”
__Jijijijijikjik!!!!!!!!!!
A tremendous amount of electric current emitted from Lee Da-eun’s surroundings hit her everywhere. Park Hye-ji, who was near her, hurriedly protected her body, but it was meaningless in front of her tremendous destructive power.
It spread all over her, so there was nowhere to escape.
Besides, she couldn’t escape because she rode in the spray that was around her.
Lee Da-eun approached Park Hye-ji, who was lying down with her empty face.
“It didn’t work for Siwoo.”
Park Hye-ji’s sword circling around Lee Da-eun, who was walking slowly.
There is no weapon that excludes metal because of the feat of electromagnetic force using the unique area and the magic conductivity.
It didn’t work for Kim Si-woo, though.
“Electromagnetism… Is it…”
“Yeah.. It’s a new skill I learned this time.”
“Ha.. Yes. I lost.”
The reason Park Hye-ji couldn’t beat Lee Da-eun was simple.
Because the goodness is pushed.
