Chapter 50 – The Stealer, the Taken One (2)
“…Is that really all?”
A voice sounded slightly disappointed.
‘What.’
I was perplexed for a moment. What did I ask for wrong? It wasn’t anything I asked for.
My physical abilities have skyrocketed these days, so I can’t see the effect with the existing exercise equipment, so I asked Lee Ji-ah to cast a spell on some of the exercise equipment I own.
It wasn’t even a difficult request. It’s not semi-permanent, and it’s something I’m going to use for a while, so a month or two was enough. At her current level, gravity magic and overload magic were no big deal.
I saw Lee Ji-ah’s face.
She had an expectant but disappointed look on her face. Then she took a look at my gaze and looked cheerful again. His expression was a little awkward.
What did I say wrong
I pondered for a while.
‘I don’t think there is.’
It wasn’t even an unreasonable request. It was a request he could have made even if they were just friends.
However, Lee Ji-ah seemed a bit dissatisfied. Then what should she do? She’s not used to placating women.
She was thinking hard while cutting the cake into bite-sized pieces with a fork and scooping it up.
“Jia? What are you doing here?”
Then a familiar voice was heard. When she turned her head, she saw purple hair. She is a perm witch who received the title of purple in the ivory tower. Rahee Song.
Song Ra-hee must have found me too, but she was looking at me with her weakly wary eyes.
It was nothing. She just doesn’t like handsome men.
“Professor? Didn’t you say you were going somewhere with Professor Kang Kang today?”
“…Professor Kang Han-ja’s injury still hasn’t healed.”
She bumped into a mad dog and was injured, but that’s a lie. Her injuries have already been cured by the Fairy Queen’s powers for a long time, but it turns out that she used to like Ash and then used him, so she’s just stuck in her room.
“Ah, come to think of it, during the last Mine Crisis… You were seriously injured. Professor Kang Kang, are you okay?”
“Yes, he said it’s fine. The Fairy Queen said it, so it’ll be fine.”
Even as she said that, there was concern in her eyes.
“Still, it will be difficult for you to come right away. At least… It will be possible after this semester is over.”
“I see…”
“Hmmmm. Oh, right, can I buy you something?”
I glanced at Lee Ji-ah. She felt the emotion that she didn’t want to eat more from Lee Ji-ah’s expression.
“No, it’s okay. I’m full from eating cake.”
It hadn’t been long since I ate, and I was full because I ate the cake.
At my words, Song Ra-hee raised her eyebrows slightly and said.
“A man should have a bit of solid taste. It’s because he eats less with such a flimsy body. Siwoo, you should eat a lot and grow your body.”
“Siwoo is at the top of his interpersonal score…”
“Great, anyway. I meant to fill out the physique like a man.”
Song Ra-hee walked away with a haughty step, as if she had no words to say.
***
Time flies and the midterm season has arrived.
The normally chatty kids were huddled here and there, opening books and studying. I watched it with admiration. The act of studying for the written test was an act far from me.
That doesn’t mean I’m comfortable.
“Siwoo, can I borrow your notebook?”
“Si, Siwoo, I’m Yoon-jung in the class next to me. Can I borrow your notebook?
I saw the faces I saw for the first time and the kids I only knew. I think it’s a note, it’s difficult. I wanted to refuse while doing it, but there were notices around me. I glanced around and saw that the children were also paying attention. Maybe the moment I borrow it, my notes will be copied here and there.
‘Honestly, it doesn’t matter.’
Whether the notes are copied or not doesn’t really matter. The reason why I get a perfect score in my writing is because of my characteristic of reading knowledge.
There’s nothing wrong with what I write in my notes. I just noticed and scribbled a few things the professors had written on the blackboard, and I was bored so I scribbled a little. It was fun to be able to draw the scene I wanted because I was scribbling with Cheonsu, so I quite enjoyed it. These days, the eyes of the professors aren’t good, so I’m restraining myself…
That’s why my notes may be more disorganized than Im Na-yeon’s notes, whose handwriting grades are rocking the floor. No, since I work hard at only writing, it would be more helpful to refer to Im Na-yeon’s notes.
“Sorry, I don’t write much in my notebook.”
“Oh yeah?”
With a sullen expression on his face, the boy who only knew the face he had never seen before returned to his seat. I headed for my seat. A few obsessive gazes followed.
“Is that because I’m so smart that everything the professors taught me is in my head? I really envy you.”
“That’s right. Because there is no one in the history of the academy who got a perfect score in the writing test. They said that in the future, the Nobel Prize would already be wiped out. They say that Gukppong is already one of the smartest people in the world.”
It was hugely overrated. It’s a shameless age, but at this point, my face became a little hot.
I sighed in my heart and sat down.
“Hey… Siuya.”
Im Nayeon said heheand smiled awkwardly. It was very clear why she called me by my first name.
“Hey, can you show me your notes?”
“Sorry, I barely took notes in my notes, so my notes won’t help.”
“Ah, don’t you take notes well?… Actually, Siwoo doesn’t really take notes much.”
Im Na-yeon shook her head and said. Disappointment was on his face. My heart weakened at the sight of her, and I added,
“…It’s hard to say instead, but if you ask, I’ll tell you everything I know.”
“Thank you so much.”
Lim Na-yeon smiled broadly and said. In fact, even if it wasn’t the reason above, I always taught you something when I asked.
“Instead, I’ll help you later. If you have any trouble, tell me.”
If I asked, I’d probably throw away the whole trouble.
Jiing-
Then her cell phone rang. I briefly checked my phone. I blocked all but the main characters, so it means texts from people who are important to me.
When I checked, I got a text from Harin Kim.
[Can I help you?]
“…”
When I sneakily looked at where Kim Harin was, she saw that Kim Harin was looking at me.
[Ask me anytime. I’ll let you know as soon as I see it]
After receiving Kim Harin’s talk, I sneakily checked the talk, and there were quite a few calls.
Talks asking to borrow a different notebook than usual.
There was also a unique tok while tapping all the way down. It was about how much I would buy a note, so I asked for a note.
I looked at the name just in case, but there was a name I had never seen before. Yep, blocked. I blocked lightly and kept an eye on the front. It was because Song Ra-hee came in at some point.
“Everyone during midterms…”
***
It was a gray landscape.
Dreary gray concrete.
There were traces of corrosion from the years everywhere, and moonlight streamed through the broken windows.
A derelict building. It was because the monster called disaster had passed by. And now there… It was a temporary hideout for a place called the ‘church’.
There, a being opened his eyes. There was a being sitting in a chair as majestic as a throne, languidly resting her chin on her hand.
It was as brilliant as a jewel, but its eyes, reminiscent of bright red blood, shone in the dark.
– Lord. I have found the adversary.
A voice echoed in the empty space.
“Did you find a human born with a heavenly horse?”
I thought for a moment.
Celestial horse.
It is a quality that humans cannot have. The ability to gain absolute affinity with demons… But how did you get it Originally, that ability was an ability that the ‘Demon King’ was born with.
‘Not even the Demon King.’
I was interested. I wanted to try mixing my hands once. Then, when weak, kill him. Save it if possible.
I smiled and got up slowly.
The round full moon broke away from the clouds and illuminated the world.
Her long, blood-red hair that reached down to her thighs shone brightly. The curvature of the white skin and black clothes covering the entire body. The way the word beauty has been molded into the present world. Quietly got up from the throne and walked towards the moonlight.
– Lord. Not one person.
Stop.
The sound of her voice stopped her for a moment. Not one? What are you talking about She turned her face toward her voice, eyes eager for an answer.
“What are you talking about?”
An off-white voice rang out. The voice responded accordingly.
– There are two of them. A man with silver hair. And a woman with golden hair.
Two people He muttered the number quietly. Bloody eyes flashed.
Adversary.
It was said that he was a being who would fight against the demon king who would soon be resurrected and defeat the demon king again.
As she knew the demon king’s original power, her interest was piqued. The power to destroy most things in the world just by breathing. There are only two beings who can stand against such power.
“It’s fun.”
Interest aroused. I wanted to see it in person.
“Ability?”
-… I’m checking. But to some extent, it has been outlined. Maybe soon…
“It’s a long chatter.”
– Judging from the revealed ability, it seems to be an ability related to spirits. He ministered and manipulated dozens of spirits.
“Hoo.”
I was quietly impressed. It is the spirit of the decimal body. It’s said that it’s better than some heroes of the middle of the day.
“Where is the location?”
-I’m at the Hero Academy. We have confirmed that you are twins with the being with the celestial demon that we reported.
Are twins She smiled quietly. Bloody eyes stared at one side. The owner of the voice was perplexed. Its location… It was the location where the Hero Academy exists.
“Come to think of it, it’s an exam soon. When taking practical exams at Hero Academy, they said that they open the school to show their achievements to outsiders.”
The voice spread. I felt joy in it. The voice could not be pleased with the owner’s pleasure. She is really strong, and a person suitable for the succession of the demon king… It was because it was too fancy.
-Lord, that’s…
The voice stopped. Fairies, a higher race with innate property dominance and mana affinity. And the Fairy Queen’s confidante who controls the power of space. All of those things can’t stop his master… The Fairy Queen is on a different level.
Excluding the opponents, if I were to pick a person who could harm the demon king, there would not be a single hand in that number, but the beings with that hand were too dangerous.
This is because, among the outwardly revealed figures in this world, the one who is not left out when discussing the strongest person was the owner of that school.
The Dragon King of America, the head of China’s Void Tribe who rules the dark sky and the lord of magic. A person who must be mentioned along with the two. Her ability to resonate with the World Tree and draw upon her powers is… It is absurdly dangerous.
But for all that reason, his master doesn’t care. A person who accepts death by mocking himself, saying that if he died, he would be only this much of a person. He fell in love with her appearance and swore to serve her, but when the time came, he felt frustrated.
His blood-red eyes widened as if he was having fun at that voice.
“Get ready. Let’s go.”
