Chapter 15 – Giraffe’s Nest (1)
You never know when the villains will come. It was pretty stressful. Even if I had prepared my own defenses, they were tenacious enough to break through all the defenses of the academy and break through once.
‘Mmm.’
As of now, I have done the best I can, but I can’t help but feel anxious. The rest is just like raining in the sky. I sighed inwardly and looked at Lee Ji-ah, who brought three suitcases, and Kim Ha-rin, who came towards me with a simple backpack and wheel bag.
If anything, there is ‘her’ near her thunderbird’s nest, so I have to pray for help somehow if the villains invade. What, is there a star?
She’s a stranger in the game, but if she hates her villains, she’ll open her hand and help.
“Is everyone ready?”
“Yes. Everything is ready!”
“Me too…”
“Then let’s go.”
We set off with our luggage. The target was a warp gate activated by the academy itself. A bluish gate was visible in the distance, ten meters high. And the students lined up in front of him. The second year was different, but the first year had a mixed expression of anticipation.
Well, it’s not that I don’t understand. When you live in the academy, there are very few situations where you can go out of school.
“Wow, this is my first time doing this mission.”
“It’s nothing special than you think, so don’t be too nervous. You make more mistakes when you’re nervous.”
Students were chattering all over the place. Voices mixed with tension and excitement. It’s the first time for first graders, so I can see them accompanying second or third graders who are acquainted with them.
“If you ever meet a villain…”
“Yes. I know. You mean to infuse magic into the badges issued by the school? How many times are you saying that?”
“I’m saying this because it’s that important. Academy students are always targeted by villains… If you put magic into the badge, the closest heroes will be contacted.”
Come to think of it, there was such a setting. I hadn’t actually used it, so I forgot. I saw the badge on the left chest of the jacket.
As I looked around, the line had almost dwindled before I knew it.
“Where are you going?”
The staff controlling the warp gate came up to us and asked.
“I’ll go to Osan.”
“Yes, please present your student ID.”
I handed over the student ID I had received from Harin Kim and Jiah Lee in advance. The clerk briefly checked us against our student IDs, then nodded and said,
“Yes, Siwoo Lee, Jiah Lee, and Harin Kim have been confirmed. Do you all have badges?”
“Yeah.”
I answered and showed the badge on the top of my jacket. Lee Ji-ah and Kim Harin also showed badges in response to the staff.
“Anyway, when it comes to academy students, the villains are after them, so it’s not enough to check them several times. I’ve checked all the badges. I hope everyone is fine.”
The staff nodded and said.
We went into the portal after talking to the staff.
***
After exiting the portal, I saw a scene resembling a quiet countryside. Come to think of it, there seems to be a setting that Osan is often attacked by monsters because there are many magic stone factories.
“I thought Gyeonggi-do was all big cities…”
“It’s very rural…”
Lee Ji-ah and Kim Harin muttered. I looked around. Still, looking at the number of apartments, it seems that they are still under development.
“Should we get a lodging first?”
So I said to the group and turned on the cell phone. When you go out after receiving a mission from the academy, there are hotels or accommodations provided by the academy. Meals were to be eaten separately, but scholarship students were given free meals.
“The place we were assigned to… Is a signature hotel…?”
When I went into the app provided by the academy and checked the places I was assigned to, I found a very good hotel. When I searched on the Internet, it was a place where it cost about 1 million won to stay for a day.
‘As expected, principal…!’
He was harsh on those without talent, but assigned good accommodations to those with talent, befitting a benevolent person more than anyone else. This is probably one of the best hotels you can find in the area.
“It’s great if it’s a signature hotel, isn’t it…?”
“Uh… I think we’ve found the best hotel in the area. Let’s go.”
We followed the cell phone map and headed downtown. As we headed downtown, we saw many things. Forge, weapon shop. They were also seen buying and selling monster by-products from time to time. Men and women in armor. People who carry bows and swords.
Seeing this scene made me feel like I was playing a game. It’s actually a game world, so it’s natural if it’s natural… Actually, I’m not in a position to tell others. I was carrying a sword, and Lee Ji-ah was holding a cane and controlling the bag with telekinesis.
… There is something more unfamiliar than this.
“…Awesome. Did you just see it?”
“Uh, uh uh. I saw it. A handsome man…”
It’s a reaction to my face. Eyes pouring from the surroundings.
“Hey, hey… Are you a celebrity? If you’re a celebrity, could you sign an autograph for me?”
Starting with the question.
“Your girlfriend… I guess?”
“I don’t kneel anywhere either, but those two are really…”
Gossip about Lee Ji-ah and Kim Harin.
“Are you thinking of becoming a celebrity?”
To the person who asks. Still, it was fortunate that the distance between the warp gate and the taxi stop was close. I was able to take a taxi and arrive at the hotel to relieve the hassle.
The hotel was very luxurious. The lobby had a golden floor and a chandelier like you would see in a movie. Feeling a little daunted, I headed to the counter to check in.
“I’m trying to check in over there.”
“Yes, can you tell me your name?”
“Yes, these are Lee Si-woo, Lee Ji-ah, and Kim Harin.”
“Lee Si-woo, Lee Ji-ah, and Kim Ha-rin. Yes, it has been confirmed. These are rooms 801, 802, and 803.”
Surprisingly, they were all private rooms. I don’t know as a man, but I thought Harin Kim and Jiah Lee were in the same room.
I received three keys and gave the keys to rooms 802 and 803 to Jiah Lee and Harin Kim.
“Then let’s unpack our luggage and meet in 30 minutes.”
“Oh, look.”
After parting with my party, I went into room 801. The furniture is clean and modern. I put the bag down somewhere.
Jiing.
As I put down my luggage, my cell phone rang. I checked my phone and saw that Jia had sent a text message.
– Siwoo, would you like breakfast?
-Emoji of a cat popping up with a question mark
It’s morning. Originally, I was a person who didn’t eat breakfast, but a lot has changed since I came here. If I didn’t eat breakfast, I couldn’t do high-intensity training, so I changed to eating breakfast.
-Omg mine too please. Does Harin eat?
-Ok. Harin eats breakfast too. Then I’ll order three breakfasts.
I put down my phone and opened the case I had brought with me.
The cadet uniform was too conspicuous, so I picked up a moderately short sleeve and wore a hoodie with training pants. And even the hat. This is enough to cover the face to some extent. I was about to go downstairs with my mask on just in case.
Jiing
The cell phone rang. Jiah Lee sent a message.
– A photo with three tickets stamped on it.
-This hotel is buffet-style, so you need a ticket! Text me when you come down!
Is breakfast a buffet…?
In fact, the metabolic rate of heroes is high enough to feel that the species itself is different compared to normal people, so the amount of food is no joke. When I am hungry, I often eat 3 servings at a time.
I texted Lee Ji-ah that I was going down and went down.
“Siwoo.”
When I turned my head to the familiar beauty, Lee Ji-ah and Kim Harin were there.
“Has everyone been waiting here?”
“Yeah. You can’t get in without a ticket.”
Jiah Lee said that and gave me one of her tickets. I took one ticket.
And we headed to the restaurant.
The restaurant was gorgeous. It feels like a restaurant you would only see in a drama. Rather than a luxurious atmosphere, a clean atmosphere with white floors and black
“Hello. May I check your ticket?”
When I went to the restaurant, I was politely greeted by a woman in a waiter’s uniform with her hair neatly tied up. Presenting her ticket, the waiter nodded her head.
“You’re a VIP member. Let me show you to your table.”
‘VIP?’
I wonder if VIPs are giving too much preferential treatment to a student, but good is good.
A waiter led us to a table. We quietly followed. Lee Ji-ah, who was treated like a nuisance at home, couldn’t have had such an experience, and I was the first to be in a luxurious hotel like this.
She continued and led us to a table right next to a large window. She was guided by her and she was seated at a table.
“Which drink would you like to order?”
She handed her the menu board. On the menu, there were rishti, black tea, traditional tea, and carbonated water.
“I am water.”
“I’ll ask for an Americano.”
“Me too…”
“Yes, the order has been confirmed.”
She left her seat We got up from our seats to get our food.
I picked up a bowl and put the meat in it. Smoked duck meat. A ham made from the hind leg of a pig. Beef yukhoe was placed on a plate, and a bowl of white and black sauce, which was said to be sweetened with pears, was also placed on the plate. And even the salmon steak. Carbohydrates don’t even look at it. Because carbs can be eaten outside.
“Wow, there’s even lobster.”
I picked up a lobster claw. I filled a plate with lobster claws and meat and headed to the seat I was directed to by the waiter earlier. Harin Kim and Jiah Lee were already seated.
“Wow, it’s a complete meat field.”
“I know..”
Lee Ji-ah’s eyes widened, and Kim Ha-rin looked at me with her slightly tired eyes. What, why, what
“Because all heroes who use the body eat a lot…”
I muttered to myself as I lifted my fork and looked at Lee Ji-ah and Kim Harin’s bowls.
On Lee Ji-ah’s plate, there was a thick sandwich, a salad seasoned with ricotta cheese, and something like vegetables and cream on bread, and on Kim Ha-rin’s plate, there was an egg tart, chicken breast salad, and bacon.
“Oh, come to think of it, there is a ‘sword lord’ near Yogi.”
“Sword master?”
“Yeah.”
Saying that, Harin Kim poked the bacon with a fork and asked with a small mouth. I also dipped the duck meat with a fork and dipped it in the mustard sauce.
Sword master.
It was a nickname she earned by controlling dozens of swords with her unique attributes at the age of 32.
With the madly nicknamed Master of the Sword, she literally displays the same abilities as the Master of the Sword.
With her unique characteristic, she shot hundreds of swords like meteors and single-handedly subdued a thousand Black Yak monsters, and she wrote a legend.
In that appearance, one of the members of the ‘Zodiac’, which gathered the world’s strongest heroes, seems to be the owner of the sword. Her nickname, which has been established with the word, is the sword master.
She is the most anticipated newcomer in Korea, and a reserve ‘top class’ hero who is said to be in the top 100 in 5 years when ranking in the world.
She hates villains, and she is also the most active hero in hunting villains. Because the villains killed her precious little brother, the only member of her family.
‘Uh…?’
Thinking that far, I remembered a picture of her younger brother and her in the Sword Master attack part. And I realized that the younger brother in the illustration looked similar to me.
‘It must be an illusion…’
It must be an illusion. She shifted her thoughts as she shoved her meat into her mouth. I looked at Lee Ji-ah and Kim Ha-rin as they opened the large sandwich wide and yum.
It was reassuring just to look at it.
When Lee Ji-ah grows up, she becomes a great wizard who plays an enormous role in the second half, and Kim Ha-rin is a member of this command, a ‘meat shield’ who will be the first to subdue the giraffe’s nest and thunderbird, where Kirin stayed for a while.
Do you think that far? Harin Kim, who changed her job as a villain in the middle, flies high into the sky with a wide wing! It reminded me of terrorism with magic bombs and magic engineering bombs while walking.
If things go according to ‘Affair’, you would believe that the main character of the original work would solve it on his own, but the affair has already gone wrong for a long time. There are already two main characters, and Nara even has an irregular.
‘…Let’s do it well.’
Let’s not be too friendly though.
