Ryu Seo-yeon (4)
Ahat properly corrected the disheveled fedora that he had caused. I alternately looked at the grotesque sight and Ahat’s back.
‘···As well as strong.’
The magic that Ahart just used is the ‘basic attack’ used in the first phase of the raid. Of course, it is more powerful than the original.
Thanks to him, I got over the situation, but Ron Ahart is the boss of the top scenario. potential enemy.
Even if I said I was an enemy, I killed them without hesitation. It’s unlikely, but I was naturally worried that Ahat might have a different heart for me.
“Sergeant-kun.”
Ahat looked at me with a calm expression. Contrary to the fact that the hallway you see behind was painted red, Ahat did not leave any marks.
“So, is it a responsible statement to say that they have something to do with what I do?”
. I nodded at Ahat’s question.
“Yes. There is a reason.”
“Then let me explain.”
I started explaining slowly, being careful not to twist my pronunciation.
“Did you know that the Black Hawk successor is on the pitch right now?”
“Black hawk. Is Ryu Seo-yeon an aspiring hero? I know.”
Fortunately, Ahat knows Ryu Seo-yeon’s identity. Thanks to her, she didn’t have to go through useless additional explanations.
“The ones that Ahat-nim just defeated were targeting Ryu Seo-yeon. That’s what their employers wanted.”
“What does that have to do with it?”
“I heard that you came here to catch illegal distribution. Aren’t you saying that someone from the tower sold the tower’s minerals?”
Children who commit a big crime of illegal distribution.
The only things that could be inferred from his remarks were the aspiring heroes belonging to the tower. It was common to engage in transactions that were not formally authorized in the presence of a guy who was already running a private business.
“Ugh. That’s right. It’s quite large, so I went on my own.”
“Perhaps those dead people were hired by someone’s business. It’s not clear which employer it is, but it’s certain it’s a Blackhawk competitor. A word of caution, but lately, ‘Tio Corporation’ is growing rapidly using the tower’s metal…”
“I think you might be that way.”
“Yes. It’s just speculation about who the employer is.”
“It’s a dangerous statement.”
As there is a formal trading route, there is a possibility that there will be other illegal transactions. Otherwise, such explosive growth would be difficult.
Well, even so, it was speculation that it was T.O.C.
‘But I’m not sure about anything else.’
The system placed the condition of Ryu Seo-yeon’s survival on the ‘Tower’ quest. That means that Seo-Yeon Ryu is related to the Tower in some way, directly or indirectly.
‘The one who aimed at Ryu Seo-yeon was not a member of the tower, but a hired person.’
Today’s round of 32 and round of 16 opponents were only from the top. In the end, this was the only way to have contact with the tower.
“If I had known this would happen, I would have saved one of them.”
Ahat kicked the head that was lying on the floor with a sad expression on his face. His head was rolling with irregular movements.
“Don’t worry though. You might as well ask those little guys who the business is. Hey, do you know where the waiting room is?”
“yes. It is divided into two parts, but who are you looking for?”
“A third year student belonging to the Tower.”
Eh. 3rd year?
“…well, Ahat-sama. It is the 1st and 2nd graders who are playing the game here. The third graders are not here because they are in the finals of the team match.”
Ahat didn’t even show a sign of embarrassment.
“You are lucky.”
What are you talking about all of a sudden…? I haven’t had any luck with my progress so far.
“Anyway, didn’t I just get out of the situation because of my misunderstanding?”
“…Ah, yes. you’re right.”
“if not···.”
In response to the poor answer, Ahat asked, pointing back.
“Would you have the confidence to defeat them without me? Looking at your face, it seems like that.”
“yes? that···.”
It’s not. If it was dangerous, I thought I’d do it.
But before I could react, Ahat looked me up and down.
“It has changed a lot from the last time I saw it. It’s weak, but it also has black mana. How did you get that?”
No matter how much they go, they do not know the magic of others. Ahat doesn’t know that I have acquired the magical Hector.
“Isn’t that the part that I can’t tell you again this time?”
There is no need to buy boundaries for nothing.
“no. Participated in the expedition, there was a case of prolonged exposure to erosion. I barely survived, so I got it.”
“Hmm, yes. Go ahead and do something like that. Rather, you seem to be acquiring all of the other attributes like this. Are you aiming for an ‘Elemental Master’? Let me know if you have any thoughts. I have the intention of inheriting my attributes from such a lumber.”
are you kidding
Only one person can possess the wind attribute. If the attribute of the Ahat family, which even a family cannot have, is passed on to others, it has to be decided who will bear the fate of succession.
“Great.”
Perhaps it was just a joke to me, Ahat put his fist close to his mouth with an embarrassed expression and coughed.
“First of all, is it true that you are trying to help a friend named Ryu Seo-yeon?
“yes. That’s right.”
“I won’t ask how you got involved in this, but just relax a little.”
Ahat’s advice made me feel uneasy.
“It’s tense…. Do you know anything?”
“It’s nothing. Ryu Seo-yeon, aspiring hero, seems to have been beaten by the employee you mentioned this time.”
“I’ll take care of the cleanup here, so let’s go.”
Ahat tapped his chin behind me.
[*’Ron Ahart’ is showing interest in you.]
The crisis detection system rang, but there was no time to worry.
I greeted Ahat and turned around. Looking towards the entrance, I could see the stadium in a confusing situation for some reason.
‘···no way.’
He hurriedly ran towards the arena.
won But Ryu Seo-yeon felt suspicious.
‘why?’
I crouched down, clutching my stomach in the terrible pain of being supported by a pharynx. Urgent voices are heard all around.
How did this happen…?
Ryu Seo-yeon remembered the situation that had just happened.
Ryu Seo-yeon wiped the sweat from her forehead. She was close, but with this she advanced to the round of 16. Beal, the opponent this time, seemed like a lie the way he had shown in the previous match.
‘Lance charging’, aiming for a gap and accelerating at an unavoidable timing, was unfamiliar with the erratic speed.
Seo-Yeon Ryu operated defensively with two swords and cooked Beal little by little.
The protective magic, which had been gradually diminished over time, was eventually destroyed by Ryu Seo-yeon’s counter. The impact caused Beal to stumble and fall backwards.
Sreung. Ryu Seo-yeon took her sword and took it. Whether it was a one-sided match in the eyes of others, he sent cheers from the audience. It seems to mean that he is the successor of the Black Hawk as well.
The loss of the image I was worried about was avoided, but it was quite uncomfortable.
‘Are you really okay?’
No matter how you look at it, Beal was not in normal condition.
But anyway, victory is victory. Now we had to wait until the other match was over to play the round of 16, but before that, there was a bigger mountain left.
‘Is Seo Ji-han still waiting over there?’
Please go somewhere else.
Ryu Seo-yeon looked at the entrance with anxious eyes. She had to go down the pitch because she had been decided.
“hey! Stop there!”
Then the instructor cried out in an urgent voice.
Ryu Seo-yeon thought she was talking to herself and stopped walking and turned her back. And she soon realized that the words were not directed at herself.
Beal was running towards Ryu Seo-yeon at a frightening speed. Perhaps the appearance he showed in the previous game was acting, he accelerates at a terrifying speed with every step he takes. Originally, it was Beal’s ‘lance charging’ that Ryu Seo-yeon remembered.
‘Come on, wait.’
It’s already in front of you. There is no time to pull out the sword and stop it. Ryu Seo-yeon blankly felt the thick shoulder of her beal pierce her chin.
“Big…, huh!”
The shock that came one beat later resounded throughout his body.
It shatters the protective magic in one hit. Ryu Seo-yeon, who was hit by a body attack directly, was thrown out of the arena. Not even her luck could help her, and her head fell on her hard floor.
“Ugh….”
My head throbs and my breathing stops. It was difficult to recognize what had just happened. Ryu Seo-yeon reflexively tried to get her body up. But a shadow was cast.
Beal, who was approaching all of a sudden, pulled out a sword from Ryu Seo-yeon’s scabbard and slammed it down with a reverse hand. Ryu Seo-yeon instinctively reached out to the sword.
Blood drips from the hand cut by the blade. However, despite their efforts, it is not enough to defeat Beal’s strength.
pooh. Gradually, the sword began to dig into the ship.
It is a strange sensation of cold metal and hot pain at the same time. Ryu Seo-yeon clenched her teeth and glared at Beal’s face. Beal’s eyes were turned upside down to see if the strange feeling she had just felt was real.
The sword begins to dig deeper into Ryu Seo-yeon’s stomach.
Koo! At that time, Beal hit the intangible force and flew sideways. Oh Yun-ha jumped out of the audience and was running.
‘shit. Berserker?’
Oh Yoon-ha bit her lip.
It’s ferocious magic. Did you dope to beat Seo-yeon Ryu? But if it was just plain magic, there was no way the instructor wouldn’t notice. If so, it was clear that the enemy was doing what his senses were telling him.
“Ahhh!!!”
All the instructors around rushed in and suppressed Beal. As if his condition was getting more serious, he screamed and twisted his body. Its strength is enough to resist the instructors’ brute force.
Oh Yun-ha approached Ryu Seo-yeon, who was in pain, and shouted at the instructor.
“Instructor. How about recovery?!”
“Only minor wounds can be healed here! We’ll just have to do first aid and take him to the hospital as soon as possible.”
After that, I looked at the VIP seat. But they look down with interest or concern, and are unwilling to help.
‘Those bastards…’
I didn’t even expect it. The waiting wizard hurriedly ran, but Oh Yoon-ha stopped him.
“I will do it.”
If you’re going to do first aid anyway, it’s better to do it yourself. Concentrating on the sensation of mana felt through her fingertips, Oh Yun-ha put her hand on Ryu Seo-yeon’s stomach.
Whoa! The blue light came out clearly, and the momentum of the blood gushing out of the cut slowly subsided.
“···Five. Is this Manasa?”
At the wizard’s admirable murmur, Oh Yun-ha stared at him. At that gaze, the wizard was startled and tilted his face.
“Magician. Wouldn’t it be better not to do this and check what that motherfucker is up to?”
“Ah, that’s right.”
The wizard belatedly ran towards Beal.
The spectators were also distracted by the sudden event. It’s a bloodshed. I saw a terrible sight.
[-I’m sorry, everyone. Currently, an unfortunate thing is happening during the match of ‘Dalian’…]
The calm voice of the idol resounds in the hall, trying to sort things out.
“Seo Yeon-ah. it’s okay?”
Oh Yoon-ha looked at Ryu Seo-yeon with worried eyes. Ryu Seo-yeon, unable to sense the reality of her current situation, looked at the light of a light fixture hanging from the high ceiling.
sick. A cold sweat dripped from the pain I felt for the first time.
‘Have I ever been hurt like this?’
Although Ryu Seo-yeon was struggling with the pain, she almost laughed out of a sense of shame.
No matter how much I remember, this was the first time I had been hurt like this. Just such an injury.
‘···This is why you can’t be a hero.’
In the fading consciousness, I felt the small wind that still occupies a place in my heart disappearing.
The feeling of resignation took its place.
Ryu Seo-yeon slowly opened her eyes. The ceiling of the health room appears to have an unfamiliar composition.
“Are you okay?”
A blunt, but friendly voice was heard.
When he turned his gaze towards him, Seo Ji-han was looking at him with his arms crossed. It was the same situation as before, but the position has changed since then.
“Is it like this before? At that time I was lying down.”
Hearing Seo Ji-han’s words, Ryu Seo-yeon slowly got up. He felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and his brow furrowed.
“hey. Just lie down.”
Ignoring the disapproval, Ryu Seo-yeon put her hand inside the changed clothes. As if he had not yet fully healed, the area where his sword had been stabbed had been dug. If I left it like this, it would have left a scar.
…Suddenly, an impulse arose.
Ryu Seo-yeon slowly rolled up the hem of her robe.
slurp. The cloth rubbed against her, revealing her slim waist and her forged white abdomen. He opened his mouth only when he sensed that Seo Ji-han’s gaze was directed.
“Seojihan. There is something I want to ask you.”
Seo Ji-han accepted Ryu Seo-yeon’s actions without embarrassment.
Ryu Seo-yeon rolled up her clothes and touched the unhealed wound. As she acted as if to look, she also had a dent in Seo Ji-han’s eyes. It was the only scar left.
“you.”
There are many things I want to ask you.
But because I didn’t have the confidence to express them one by one.
“…isn’t it scary?”
Ryu Seo-yeon asked the original problem.
