Chapter 165 – Chapter 165. Social Party (2)
Even in the corner of the party, the lights were dim, but Nam Da-eun’s face was clearly visible.
She had straight black hair and was wearing a fancy dress.
She was even more beautiful when she made up.
Her clothes were very narrow, her bare back covered with her hair and her breastbone covered with her hands.
Nam Da-eun naturally avoided Min-gyu Park’s hands that were trying to wrap her shoulders and adjusted her clothes.
Park Min-gyu looked at Nam Da-eun with a slightly unpleasant look, but she didn’t say anything to her, perhaps because she was concerned about the man in front of her.
“Yeah, so… Oh?”
The man who was talking to Park Min-gyu looked around and found me.
The man came up to me laughing and held out his hand.
“Hey, is there a celebrity here? Nice to meet you. It’s Shin Young-hoon, the guild leader of the Shin-young guild.”
I didn’t mean to talk, but it might be okay.
“Nice to meet you. This is Lee Ho-yeon.”
In Shinyoung’s guild, this person is the father of the vice president of the student council… Seeing him with the head of the buyer’s guild, I don’t think his father is a very nice person either.
“Uh, Mingyu. You should come too. This is the most popular student these days.”
Shin Yeong-hun stood next to Park Min-gyu, who had fallen behind, and asked him to come out and say hello.
“Ah… Is that student Lee Ho-yeon?”
“Nice to meet you.”
Park Min-kyu also came up to me and held out his hand.
And only then did Nam Da-eun hear my name and look in my direction.
He was staring into space and not thinking about anything until he heard my name and finally looked straight ahead.
Nam Da-eun’s dead eyes started to tremble as soon as they met mine.
Then he slowly shook her head and walked backwards.
Why are you here? It’s the eyes that even a monster saw.
“Huh? Da-eun.”
“…I’m going to go to the bathroom for a while.”
“Uh, uh. Yes.”
Nam Da-eun, who received Park Min-gyu’s permission, ran back.
“It must be hard to bear. To the point of doing that in the middle of a conversation.”
Seeing Nam Da-eun, Shin Young-hoon laughed and swallowed his drink.
I don’t have time for this either. You have to follow me
“Then I will go too.”
“Blessed? I still have business matters to talk about…”
I ignored the hand holding me and headed in the direction where Nam Da-eun disappeared.
As Nam Da-eun, faintly feeling her, followed the scent of her magical power, she found Da-eun Nam crying in the corner of the aisle towards the bathroom.
Nam Da-eun buried her face between her knees and shivered weakly.
“…Nam Da-eun.”
Let’s put her hand on Daeun Nam’s arm, Pak! I shook my hand to make a sound.
“Please, please leave me alone…”
★ Heroine Status Window
[Nam Da-eun]

Current status: I didn’t want to show you this.
“… Hey.”
“Go! Why are you coming close to me?”
Nam Da-eun, who jumped up, didn’t give up and pushed me away once she was talking to her.
“I’ll help. Nam Da-eun.”
Nam Da-eun put on a cold expression when she said that she would help.
“You know what you’re helping. Do you know what situation I’m in?”
“I know everything. You’re being threatened because of Nam Da-hee.”
“… Yes, there is a huge debt there. I can’t go against Mr. Mingyu’s words.”
Daeun Nam had already given up.
You’ve probably tried your best on your own. Still, things wouldn’t have gotten any better.
Even if I help you, you won’t believe it right away.
“That debt is not meant to be repaid. Also, I already saved her sister.”
“… What? What do you mean by that?”
“You may not believe it, but it’s true. I saved Nam Da-hee. I’ll explain to you one by one…”
Bang! Bang! Kwakwawang!
Just when she was about to properly explain the situation to Nam Da-eun, she heard a mysterious explosion filling the party hall.
And the wave of magical power that my body was accustomed to passed by.
‘The rune’s barrier…?’
A barrier of runes was being set up to separate the party hall into small spaces.
Gying-
I reversed a part of the barrier between me and Nam Da-eun.
After awakening, this level of mana control became easier.
“What, what is this…”
Embarrassed, Nam Da-eun looked around her and raised her mana.
“Nam Da-eun. It’s okay.”
Terrorism
Among terrorism, the only terrorism that uses the rune’s barrier is Pandemic.
I don’t know why Pandemic appeared at her social party, but I have to finish talking with Nam Da-eun…
[The sub-quest has been sent.]
At that time, a notice that I hadn’t seen for a long time appeared because I had to clear the quest for first place in the practical test.
———————-
[Save the heroine!]
A heroine without fighting power needs the protection of the protagonist.
Even more so if the target was the heroine from the beginning.
Stop the evil from targeting the heroine!
– Reward: Target heroine’s affinity 3
———————-
“…”
Speaking of a heroine without fighting power, he is the only one.
Baek Ah-young.
I still don’t know why, but if Baek A-young is my goal, I have to go get her right away.
Because Baek A-young has no fighting power at all.
I looked at Nam Da-eun.
I want to properly explain it to Nam Da-eun, who is trembling while looking at me, but I don’t have the time right now.
“Nam Da-eun. Ignore all calls from the guild right now and go to the central fountain of the academy.”
Fortunately, I had insurance just in case. Because I told Scarlett something.
“… What?”
“From there, follow the blonde woman who talks to you to my room in the boys’ dormitory. Nam Da-hee will be there. She will explain everything to you. I have to go get people right away.”
“Sleep, hold on!”
“Never trust the Buyers Guild. Trust me just once.”
I met Daeun Nam’s eyes with a puzzled expression.
Nam Da-eun, who was about to say something, saw my serious expression and shut her mouth.
It was a strange face I had never seen in Nam Da-eun.
It seems that he was very taken aback by my sudden words.
But fortunately, one thing was known. That you believe in me
I left Nam Da-eun and ran to the party.
*
“Haa… What is this!”
“Break! Break!”
A man swung his sword towards the barrier.
Kang! Kang!
However, there was not a single flaw in the barrier.
The hunters who were enjoying the party were trapped in a barrier with some people talking next to them.
It took an enormous amount of time for the top hunters to backcalculate at the barrier of a robber they had never seen before.
“What the hell kind of madman would do this at a social party…”
Min Ye-ji, who was trapped in the barrier, looked at her barrier, frowning.
It is clear that someone betrayed the party system that requires an invitation.
Only trustworthy people were sent in, and the investigation was completed, but it would be impossible if there was no traitor inside.
‘At this pace, the reverse calculation would take 10 minutes.’
In a terrorist situation, 10 minutes is an incredibly long time.
It’s time to stay even after the situation is over.
However, in order to reduce her time even by a second, Min Ye-ji erased her thoughts and focused on her barrier calculation.
At that time, the barrier began to shake.
As a result, the concentration of the hunters who were performing the reverse calculation was also broken.
“Damn it, back calculation is broken!”
Ugh-
The Hunters looked at the source of the shaking.
One part of the barrier was trembling.
Crackling
Soon, a part of the barrier was torn with the sound of something tearing.
And from there, one of her heads popped out.
“… They’re not here either. Huh? Min Ye-ji. Have you seen A-young?”
“You, you… How?”
She was surprised by Lee Ho-yeon’s suddenly protruding face, but Min Ye-ji couldn’t keep her mouth shut when Lee Ho-yeon lightly tore off the barrier that her upper-level hunters were clinging to and counting backwards.
“I’ll explain this later. Haven’t you seen Ah-young?”
“Uh, uh… I didn’t see it.”
Min-yeji also forgot about Baek Ah-young while enjoying the party.
“Hmm. Okay. The people here, please come out and help me catch the demons. There are so many out there.”
Lee Ho-yeon said that and disappeared outside.
The trapped hunters put his body into the hole where Lee Ho-yeon had put his head out with a suspicious expression, and was able to come out.
Outside was the scene of an abyss.
Numerous demons were fighting the hunters at the party.
Most of the hunters were hunters saved by Lee Ho-yeon.
Min Ye-ji immediately raised her magic power and rushed into her battlefield.
*
“Huh, ah… Ahh.”
Baek Ah-young was tired of talking to people that lasted several hours, so she ran away to a corner for a while.
She was thinking of taking a break with a drink in an empty place, but the terror began as she heard an explosion sound like a lie.
Fortunately, there was a male hunter with me, but…
“Ayoung-san. Kkeuk, run away…”
The male Hunter’s whole body was pierced by the combined efforts of the demons.
Baek A-young’s healing was a number that could not be handled.
“Yeah, Mr. Youngho… Ugh.”
Baek A-young was the next target of the demons who dealt with the man who had become flesh instead of human.
– Kkeukkuk… Kikkik
– The Saint… The Saint…
Baek Ah-young ran away from the demons who couldn’t keep her sanity, but she couldn’t escape from dozens of demons.
In the end, Mine in the lead pulled off Baek A-young’s suit from behind.
“Kyaa, kyaaak! Aaak!”
Slow-!
Her sharp claws scratched Baek Ah-young’s body, leaving deep scars.
“Ah, ahhhhh…”
Baek Ah-young sat down and treated her back, where blood was dripping.
She knew she had to run. But she couldn’t stop the demons from approaching.
‘Is this the end…?’
I didn’t want to die like this.
No I couldn’t die
Because there are so many things I haven’t done yet.
Contrary to Baek Ah-yeong’s mind, her distance with the demons gradually grew closer.
‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have just confessed.’
Baek A-young also recognized that it was the last moment.
And at the end of life, it was Lee Ho-yeon, not someone else.
If I had known I would die so absurdly, I would have tried.
A single tear ran down Baek A-young’s cheek.
It was a mixture of regret, sadness, pain, and many emotions of love and hate.
“I don’t want to die… Hoyeonah.”
Baek Ah-young looked at the approaching demons and quietly called Lee Ho-yeon’s name.
– Kruck…
– The saintess… Kill…
The hands of the demons gradually approached Baek Ah-young, and when Baek Ah-young, who intuited her death, closed her eyes tightly, her pitch-dark vision suddenly brightened.
Even with her eyes closed, she felt bright because of the strong light she felt outside.
Baek Ah-yeong opened her eyes softly.
– Aaaaa!
She could see dozens of demons burning in front of her.
“Mr. Ah-yeong, die at will. I’m here.”
And at the familiar voice behind her, Baek A-young turned her head.
Just looking at her, her heart-pounding, laid-back smile.
However, unlike that smile, Lee Ho-yeon’s whole body was drenched in sweat, as if everyone was running in a hurry.
“I came to save you. Did you do well?”
Pounding. Pounding.
“…”
Seeing Lee Ho-yeon’s face, Baek Ah-yeong suddenly felt her heart pounding.
Feeling different from her usual feelings, Baek Ah-young barely held back her confession that was about to come out of her mouth.
Even if she confessed, she regretted that she would have done it, but she didn’t intend to do it in a situation where she was fighting demons.
“Be still. It will be over soon.”
Baek Ah-yeong looked at Lee Ho-yeon fighting the demons and calmed her beating heart.
