When I turned around, Noah Park was holding her shoulder. She knew it was an act meant to take her too.
…isn’t this kid deliberately pretending not to talk?!
“…are you able to tell the truth?”
I asked that openly, but Noah Park did not answer. He just looks at me with a fat expression.
Fortunately, the hand that was holding his shoulder gently trembles. Arwell saw it and said to me.
“You seem to want to go to the tower.”
“Ugh. I know.”
If Noah Park followed me, Arwell would also follow.
However, it is also dangerous to send Oh Yun-ha alone to the academy. I wonder who dares to subdue Oh Yun-ha, but there are also artifacts, so you never know.
“What do you think?”
“I think it will be fine. Haven’t you been dealing with demons without difficulty earlier?”
“It is. I think we fought better.”
“Yes. If I should call it control, I don’t think it would be dangerous to do whatever Noah-sama wants as long as you have self-control.”
If I go with Noah Park, I am a strong person. Because no country can always resist an unexpected attack. In particular, if you enter the tower, the process of going up to the 44th floor may be more dangerous than here.
“Then, is Oh Yun-ha going to the academy alone? It’s a bit like this too.”
“no. Won’t you go with me?”
“Eh···? Sincerity?”
As unexpected words came out of Arwell, the reaction I wanted to make came out of Oh Yun-ha’s mouth.
“You say you’re falling apart with Noah Park?”
“···Oh Yoon-ha. What was the reaction?”
“No, I think it’s a natural reaction. is not it?”
When Oh Yun-ha sent a glance of agreement, I involuntarily nodded my head. Arwell declared self-reliance. what this
“…I understand what you mean, but even so, not so much in this situation!”
Arwell raised his voice with a recalled face whether he was angry or whether he was stabbed himself. I reached out and calmed Arwell.
“Okay. Then Arwell and you go to the academy, and I and Noah go to the top together. Do you agree?”
He whispered to Noah Park, but there was no reaction. It seems that communication beyond this is still impossible.
“Hmm. But we’re in a hurry, so even so, you guys are short on time, are you okay?”
Now we can start as it is, but there was one problem. It took me half a day to get here. My stamina wasn’t exhausting, but if it was night on the way home, the story would be different.
To walk around a street without street lights relying solely on the red moon. It was a perfect situation for someone to attack.
Then, Oh Yun-ha and Arwell responded that it was no big deal.
“I didn’t go there once or twice at night, and I wouldn’t run into anyone else if I sprayed mana. Arwell also has great senses, right?”
“Yes. No problem.”
“I do.”
I looked to the side to see the Red Hawk, which had gone somewhere, was returning. Ahart is already waiting for Ryu Seo-hyun.
“Then we will go first. Let’s go, Noah.”
Noah Park looked at Arwell once and started to follow me. Going to the tower meant jumping into a den where potential enemies of Park Noah were. If I met a wizard, I wouldn’t be able to do something right away, just like I did to Main.
‘It was good that you only gave me a wooden sword.’
As I was about to run in the direction of the tower with such peace of mind, the holy sword called out my name.
[··· Seo Han.]
[The untitled lady keeps looking at me.]
“ha. What’s happening.”
The student council president, Jin Ga-yul, muttered with a tired face as she sat on the chair. Like the previous president, he was suffering from chronic fatigue and dark circles.
While Astiel was able to bless himself with divine power, Jingayul’s desk, which lacks such abilities, has over ten thousand and ten potions piled up.
“President. If you are tired, how about resting?”
“Nope. It’s still okay.”
The new secretary in charge this year also looks tired. This is because the horse is in charge of the clerk and other chores. Originally, it was Seo Ji-han who should have taken on the role of secretary, but for various reasons, he claimed to be an assistant secretary even though he was a sophomore.
“The personnel who went to the basement of the tower who returned yesterday?”
“Um, wait a minute… Looking at the records, there were people who went out in the morning. The same goes for Seo Ji-han.”
“If you leave right away without showing your face, you see something.”
To Jin Ga-yul, who spoke insignificantly, the first-year secretary carefully said.
“I am, Chairman. I heard on TV that it was because of Seo Ji-han that TOP’s protection disappeared, but that’s…”
“It must be fake.”
About that doubt, Jinga-yul cut and declared it.
“Are you sure there is a reason?”
“Ugh. There’s no particular reason why Jihan should do something like that, right? Besides, the instructor and the headmaster accompanied me. It’s my personal guess, but I think the tower just overwrote the effects of the erosion winds.”
The true value rate, which was saved by Seo Ji-han last year, is very reliable.
The clerk who was in middle school couldn’t understand it.
I just knew that Seo Ji-han was a great aspiring hero, but when I came here, it was because he was an asshole who took over the student council work because he was busy.
“…Then shouldn’t I say it’s not because of them?”
“why? Because of the guilds in front of that front door?”
“Do not worry about it. It wouldn’t be convincing for the Academy to say that.”
Perhaps the cause of the secretary’s stress is because of the forces gathered at Yoosung Academy. Jin Ga-yul said while picking up a new potion.
“These guilds are organizations that cannot stand on their own in this situation. Even if things turn out for the better, they’ll change the reason to accept them now and keep doing that? It’s more balanced now that we’re facing each other. The other side knows that too, so they didn’t break into the academy even after taking into account the bloodshed.”
“Still, the seniors are being misunderstood.”
Jin Ga-yul, who sipped the potion, laughed at the reaction.
“I never asked for it, so why?”
“It may sound harsh, but if Jihan needed to clear up a misunderstanding, he would have run right away as soon as he returned yesterday. Let’s do something else.”
Then the door to the student council room opened slowly after knocking. It was Oh Yun-seong who showed up. They waited outside and came in when the conversation seemed to have ended inside.
“Well? Leading department manager. What’s up?”
“hello! Senior Oh Yoon-seong.”
Oh Yoon-seong nodded his head to the secretary and said to Jin Ga-yul.
“President. Are you busy right now?”
“I’m busy. But now I am relaxed.”
“Then give me a moment.”
Oh Yun-seong opened the door to the closed student council room. Then the people behind the door appeared. Her princess and her were knights to escort her.
Jin Ga-yul reflexively got up from her seat and touched the desk.
“Princess…? What’s going on?”
“I heard that the student council is in charge of the practical work of Yoosung Academy.”
she’s a queen When the gritty opponent appeared, Jin Ga-yul’s stomach was rapidly bitter with caffeine and complex reasons.
“…if you’re in the position of a princess, you’d be able to have a conversation that would be more satisfying to go to the principal.”
“Fufu, no. I think that’s inconsiderate.”
The fact that the princess is staying here is a nuisance enough. She is grateful that the Imperial Knights were dispatched, but she said that if the princess was injured while staying here, it would obviously be the responsibility of the Yoosung Academy.
‘How did the president do this?’
It was only now that I fully understood how Astiel’s exhausted impression was made. Last year, even though he was the vice president, he had never felt this kind of discomfort because he only went outside.
Jin Ga-yul said while trying to manage her expression.
“haha. So what did you come here for?”
“Can you bring the Academy people together?”
“People… may I ask what your purpose is?”
Yuria stared to the side. At some point, I could see the first-year secretary, who stood up from his seat, with a nervous face.
“I am willing to share with you as well as clear up the misunderstanding of this situation. Aren’t you annoyed by the people in front of me?”
Contrary to the words she uttered, the princess smiled softly.
When Ryu Seo-hyun returned from communication, he looked at the empty people and made a questionable expression. The only person left was Ahat.
“Where have they all gone?”
“Time is running out, so we all scattered to the academy and the tower. I am here to help you.”
“her. Was it that urgent? We will go right away.”
Ahart moved with the Red Hawk. Realizing that time is running out, the movement speed was faster than expected. The Red Hawk gradually moved into the depths of the city.
“Is there a headquarters over here?”
“yes. It’s a signboard and it’s all gone, so it’s hard to find from the outside.”
Before long, the party stopped at an unusual building.
Exterior walls with peeling paint. It was the residence of a common mercenary that could be found anywhere. Contrary to the confident horse, there seemed to be no means to protect the building.
Then Ahat noticed that there were a lot of cracks in the outer wall of the building. It looks like a sliding door that can be opened and closed. Ryu Seo-hyun noticed the gaze and explained.
“It is a device that automatically intercepts enemies when they come.”
no wonder. Looking at the number of gaps, I could only say that there was no problem even if the base was discovered. If they were all weapons, this building was like a kind of armed fortress.
Contrary to its shabby appearance, in order to open the door, it had to be authenticated by state-of-the-art security. After Ryu Seo-hyun went through various recognitions such as eyes and fingerprints, the heavily tinted door was opened.
‘It smells like gunpowder.’
As soon as we entered, we saw armed soldiers. Among them, some familiar faces were also mixed with Black Hawk employees.
A gatekeeper guarding another entrance from inside the building took a salute.
“president. Are you here!”
Ryu Seo-hyun pointed to the soldiers in the group and said.
“First, prepare the reward and funeral. And here is the guest who helped us.”
Behind them, the soldiers with corpses went inside. At the open entrance, we could see people moving in a hurry.
“Did I tell you that we have to go all the way to the meteor academy?”
“yes. Everyone is packing up. Considering disarming this place, I think we can leave tomorrow.”
“okay. When you’re ready…, ah. Go in first. Seoyeon will be in front too.”
Ryu Seo-hyun, who was having a conversation, let Ahart in first. Ahart walked forward and leisurely looked around the unfamiliar space. Unlike the shabby exterior walls, the interior was designed with the latest technology like a Black Hawk.
‘It’s too advanced for a mercenary group.’
I thought that Red Hawk’s funds would be more than the faction that came to commission the mercenaries. Of course it’s under Black Hawk.
A familiar voice was heard next to him. When I turned my head, the first thing I saw was Ryu Seo-yeon with a dark complexion. Ryu Seo-yeon also saw this and her eyes widened.
“Ahat-sama…? How are you going?”
Ahat went straight to Ryu Seo-yeon and grabbed her shoulder.
“Are you okay?!”
“Yes? Oh, yes. I’m fine!”
Ryu Seo-yeon was taken aback by Ahat’s unexpectedly violent reaction. She had no idea she would have worried about her this much. However, her forehead twitched a little.
“No. That kid.”
Ryu Seo-yeon felt her eyes tremble at the momentary rush of emotions.
