Chapter 141 – 如意 (5)
Things went well in the north. Won Il-cheong, who woke up late, was taken aback, but agreed immediately after hearing the circumstances.
Request.
The last time I saw Seo Myorang was strange, but I decided to forget it. She said that among masters, there are many geeks.
Unlike the north, which was no different from the middle of winter, Seongnam, where the academy is located, still had a cozy warmth. It was, however, relative. At least it wasn’t to the extent that white steam leaked out of his mouth.
Feeling a strange inspiration, I got out of the car, and now a splendid building like a house came into view.
It had only been a few days, but it felt like a very long time had passed since it was so complicated. When I entered the dormitory room, I saw Cheon Ha-yeon sitting on a chair in the middle of the living room as usual.
“…”
She opened her eyes round and looked up at me. She had something to say to Cheon Ha-yeon. I apologized first.
“I’m sorry about the elder Tae Sang-ho.”
You must have already heard what happened in the northern part of Cheonhayeondo. Few people knew, but one of them was Cheon Ha-yeon, the small school owner.
“No, it’s nothing for you to be sorry for.”
Shaking her head resolutely, Cheon Ha-yeon stood up.
“Also, it’s not something I should talk about. It’s what he chose, so it’s right to respect it. And.”
Cheon Ha-yeon continued with a thin smile.
“Hwagyeong, congratulations. I heard it went up.”
“It was thanks to the elders.”
“The time limit must have actually passed.”
“Right.”
“…Thank god. Really, I’m glad.”
Chun Ha-yeon’s eyes trembled slightly.
“Your help was great. Thank you.”
She wouldn’t have come this far without her. After coming to this world, if I had to pick the biggest opportunity, it would be the meeting with Cheon Ha-yeon. Not only surviving by breathing, but also being able to draw a bigger picture.
In the end, Cheon Ha-yeon’s help was great.
“…By the way, Hwagyeong. Really, the speed of your growth makes no sense. It would be impossible to become stronger as fast as you even if you mobilized all of the secret arts of the four magic arts that have many side effects.”
“Because I received a lot of things. So are you, so are the elders. We need to fill the vacant position quickly.”
Like the last Sakhalin incident, the influence of the elders must have been great without knowing or not knowing. It won’t be noticeable right away, but as time passed, it was bound to appear in some form. As such, the value of a single police officer was enormous.
“If it’s you, well, I don’t think it will take long.”
It felt awkward because it felt like the number of strangely direct compliments had increased recently. I spoke quickly.
“Has the academy been alright while I’m gone?”
“Everyone is busy preparing for evaluation. They said that there are a lot of equipment, so the difficulty of writing will be quite high.”
“You look relaxed.”
“The original test is to take it according to your usual skills.”
Confidence could be seen in the corner of Cheon Ha-yeon’s mouth, which went up gently. Although the academy feels more like a place for socializing, where late exponents gather. That is why there were no cadets who wasted their studies.
‘No, there are only two of them.’
Midsummer with me As I ran so frantically, I naturally let go of the theory side. Besides, I didn’t have much time. The test starts right away next week.
“…I think I’m screwed.”
“You… You seem to be very smart, but you don’t study. If it’s you, it’s really just a little bit, a little bit. When learning martial arts, it seems like if you spend even a penny of effort, you will get a perfect score on everything.”
“Is it deception?”
“Not at all. You are serious.”
I can’t say that this is a misunderstanding. Maybe I’m becoming more and more like midsummer. It’s a world where everything is done with force anyway, so I wonder if I need a theory…
‘It’s not like that.’
I know. That theory was surprisingly quite important. I’m not talking about simple magic math, but how to treat ‘non-military people’ as an unmanned person.
It was the core of the academy theory to teach including the legal part. Unless you are going to live your whole life wandering around the lawless zone, you must have the necessary virtues as a civilized person. It’s actually like a lawless zone among the Murim people, but this world isn’t just for the uninhabited. The background was modern, so it was very complicated.
As soon as I get back, I want to know what this is. I let out a deep sigh and immediately declared surrender.
“Can you help me?”
I have an instructor by my side, so I don’t have to study on my own.
“However much.”
Showing a slight excitement, Chun Ha-yeon nodded.
***
The higher the level, the more sleep time was not needed. Even that, most of them could be replaced by luck. Even at the end of the day, it was tolerable enough to not sleep for a whole month.
That’s what it means.
It also meant that there was no need to forcefully wake up drinking all kinds of bizarre combinations of energy drinks, as in the past reality. The ability to study almost infinitely. Perhaps unmanned people are truly specialized in studying.
‘…I must have tasted it too.’
It’s been a while since I burned my head with a different meaning, so my thoughts increased.
Cheon Ha-yeon’s explanation was very skillful. I even took out my glasses from somewhere, put them on, and stuck right next to me and explained them one by one, so they fit into my ears. However, it could not be helped that he was bored and that his brain had been adjusted to martial arts while transforming his bones.
I’ve been wrestling with the book for a while.
The sun came up announcing morning. I quietly closed the bookshelf.
“Let’s end here for today. Thank you.”
Chun Ha-yeon put down her glasses and put on a satisfied expression.
“You suffered too.”
“I’m a little lucky. Because it is morning.”
“…”
Cheon Ha-yeon’s beautiful army slightly frowned at my pointless joke.
Regardless, I warmed up lightly and started breakfast. Today was the day I promised Beatrice. Somehow, I went up to the hwagyeong. It was said that the conditions for cursing were satisfied.
Shoot ah-
When I opened my eyes after a leisurely breakfast, I heard the sound of a shower. I sent a message to Beatrice. Only the date was set, but the exact time was not set. As long as they were living in the academy anyway, they were within reach.
[Senior, when is the time?]
No reply comes.
Usually, Beatrice replied like a knife to my calls. At least he did when he was staying inside the academy.
“Dude, where are you going?”
Chun Ha-yeon, wearing only a light gown, tilted her head as she came out of her shower.
“Uh. I have some appointments. Haven’t you seen Beatrice? Senior vice president.”
“Come to think of it, I haven’t seen you this week. I used to see it several times a week.”
“…Where did you go?”
It can’t be. Something, a cool sensation ran down my spine.
“I’ll go out for a while.”
Leaving behind the puzzled Cheon Ha-yeon, he went straight outside. Beatrice’s lodging was already known. Thanks to the special treatment given to the vice president of the academy, writing alone is also a plus. I flew to Beatrice’s dormitory.
‘It’s empty.’
The senses that reached the hwagyeong whispered. The room where Beatrice stayed is empty. Still haven’t been contacted.
I shouldn’t have infiltrated like this originally, but I hid my presence and went inside.
It could be that there are circumstances for a while.
Something, I just had a bad feeling.
Where Beatrice stayed. The interior, which was larger than that of a normal dormitory, had surprisingly little ‘smell of people’. The word desolate fit very well.
‘Did he live in a place like this?’
Something had a bitter taste in his mouth. I thought that the appearance on the outside would not be everything. Contrary to the splendid interior decoration, the empty space equipped with minimal living tools felt like an image of Beatrice.
‘Finally.’
It seemed that this day would come someday. In most cases, when an incident occurred, the status window sent a warning in advance. Especially in the form of files. Thanks to this, I was able to prepare for an incident based on solid information.
However, I didn’t think that such a comfortable thing would repeat itself over and over again. Right now, even if it wasn’t for Beatrice’s warning, it would have been dangerous.
Besides, this Void Dragon Core.
It was completely unexpected. Even if it was a little off, I would have died screaming on the spot. Even that may be someone’s arrangement, but what if something worse happens later on after thinking that way? If you go then and regret it, it will be too late.
Looking at the traces left around it, Beatrice left this place at least a few days ago.
There is no sign of resistance.
In the first place, Beatrice was not a woman to be easily defeated. Even if it was an abduction, it was not something that happened in this place.
Of course, it may not be a star.
Then, as usual, I could have smiled and entered, saying, “Sorry, junior.” Something urgent happened and I forgot to contact you.
‘It can’t be.’
It was a conclusion close to certainty. Anyway, maybe I’m wrong. However, whether it is right or wrong, I will have to check it with my own eyes. It seemed like that would solve the problem.
Didn’t the status window notify? Does not matter.
I started putting in requests one by one.
Dokgopae President.
Protestantism.
NIS.
And, Murimmaeng.
To find one person, the energy overflowing was in my hands.
