chapter 35
35 – Rumor(1) – Fix
“then… … . I will be back… .”
Baek Hana skipped lunch and trudged out the front door with a white cloth wrapped around her head.
Click.
Watching the front door close, I turn around and Claire, who had come out to meet me, follows me and asks.
“If you’re staying out, you can apply now, right?”
“right.”
However, there is a condition that a non-student professor or academy official must explain the circumstances to the supervisor instead.
“Then why… ?”
“Because the age of having to take care of that has already passed.”
“Mmm.”
After hearing my answer, Claire quietly followed me, then stood in front of the study and opened her mouth again.
“That, Professor.”
“what.”
When I answered as I opened the door and went inside, she followed me into the study and quietly closed the door and stood there.
Sitting on a chair in the study, I quietly watched her standing with her back to the door.
In front of the students and professors, she shows an ice-cold face, but she looks at me with a muttering mouth.
“… one word. I think it’s okay to be spoiled, but… That, the water level is a bit… … I wonder if it’s too much… Sorry if I went off topic… .”
The neatly tied blonde hair flows down slightly.
Because she bowed her head towards me.
“I’m not presumptuous, so keep your head up.”
“… … Yes.”
She slowly raised her head, but her blue eyes were still on the floor.
I think I’ve narrowed the distance and built a friendship, but when I see her like that, I wonder if it’s just me alone.
“It is an act that can cause misunderstandings enough to be misunderstood by others, as you say, but I don’t think there are any parents who would find it strange that their children are being held.”
“Parents and children… … That’s it.”
“yes.”
At least I still think so.
Hearing my answer, Claire lifted her downward-looking eyes again and pursed her lips.
“Miss Hana… … .”
However, he can’t finish talking and shuts up again in the middle.
Claire’s lips, which had been staring at me with a fixed expression for a while, moved again.
“professor.”
“Let me speak.”
“He said that if I asked for anything, he would definitely help me to the extent possible.”
“Yes.”
Even if I briefly listed the things she helped me over the past 8 years, it would easily exceed three digits.
“then.”
She looked straight at me and slowly came towards me.
Sun Claire said, facing me with the desk exactly in between.
“… … I have one favor to ask of you.”

A precious holiday that is only two days a week.
That’s right, it’s the weekend.
“Sigh… . Whether you are a teaching assistant or a professor, being busy is the same.”
Kang Han-na sighed deeply as she cleaned up the lunchbox she had bought in the morning in a corner of the training ground.
The life of an assistant who had to do all sorts of chores under Kim Kyung-ho.
However, as an opportunity that came like a miracle, even now, when I became a professor, I was living a life that was no different from then.
During the vacation, I couldn’t properly rest because I was writing a curriculum for freshman lectures, and I had to invest a lot of time to find suitable cracks for practice outside the academy.
Fortunately, because I was a teaching assistant for a long time, I was good at paperwork, so I was able to finish it before school started, but unfortunately, that wasn’t all I had to deal with.
As I was in charge of compulsory subjects rather than electives, it was also a job to check the entrance exam score sheet for each student and set the outline of the course.
The problem was that it was a compulsory subject, so I couldn’t skip the hands-on lecture. In the end, I couldn’t even sleep well because I had lectures all weekdays and stayed in the evening to check the personal information of the students.
And today is the weekend.
He was on duty.
Unlike professors who commute to work, students who live in dormitories unless there is a special reason.
In order to solve accidents that such students might cause at any time, 10 professors go to work even on weekends according to their turn. And Kang Han-na was one of those 10, and had to see the supervisor of the students’ skirmish from morning to this afternoon.
“How many teams are left?”
Kang Han-na operated the smart watch on her wrist and reviewed the schedule for the afternoon once again.
“Team 6… … Dinner can be eaten at the restaurant.”
After putting the lunch she had eaten in an envelope and tidying up, she got up. This is because the students who had been waiting and waiting for 3 hours to prevent cheating finished their meal.
It was when she was moving to her assigned area after distributing the bag’s contents in a nearby recycling bin.
“… … ?”
Kang Han-na, who felt a chill for an instant, looked around. And I was able to find a group of girls who just opened the door of the arena and came in.
From snow-white hair to lovely pink like cherry blossoms. From comfortable beige hair to dark black hair.
Even just by looking at the color of their hair, they stand out. The four girls were beautiful, each with their own individuality even in appearance.
‘That child… … .’
A girl with a cool aura that matches her white hair.
It was a child I had seen once in the exam hall.
It was definitely a girl involved in the incident caused by the dark-haired girl following her. I didn’t remember it because it was particularly special, I just didn’t forget it because the professor who saved me ordered it directly.
‘Something doesn’t look right.’
Even when I saw him at the exam hall, his eyes gave a somewhat ferocious and cold impression, but today it seemed even worse. Of course, it still looks beautiful nonetheless.
Kang Han-na turned and approached the girls who had just entered.
“Did you come for the skirmish?”
“… … Yes.”
Kang Han-na asked at the powerless voice that made all the listeners faint.
“name is?”
“One hundred. It’s scheduled for 4 o’clock.”
“wait a minute.”
Kang Han-na checked the schedule with her smart watch, then nodded and said.
“yes. It might be boring, but sit down and wait.”
“… … Yes.”
Baek Hana, who answered weakly, began to trudge, followed by the three children who came with her.
‘He notices me a lot.’
Kang Han-na watched the three strangely watching the hundred and one eyes, and then moved to the assigned area again.

Seokho Kang
He is the youngest son of Kang Min-ho, the guild master of one of the top 10 guilds, ‘Iron Knight’, and Baek Ha-na’s classmate who appeared as the representative of the group that appeared to Baek Ha-na yesterday.
At the age of 15, Kang Seok-ho showed extraordinary growth while receiving special guidance from his father, Kang Min-ho, and good young medicine, and perhaps to show that it was not a simple illusion, Kang Seok-ho was confident that he graduated from a specialized school with the best grades. has proved
Such Kang Seok-ho was quietly watching Baek Ha-na and his party from a distance.
‘I feel a little sorry for Nam Seo-hee.’
Nam Seo-hee, who is bothered by getting involved with others, formed a group.
Knowing Nam Seo-hee’s personality, I expected that he wouldn’t be the leader of the group, but I didn’t expect him to look so flustered.
Nam Seo-hee sits next to Baek Ha-na, who doesn’t seem happy to anyone, and peels off the chocolate she brought with her and puts it into Baek Ha-na’s mouth.
Unless you’re an idiot, you can see that Nam Seo-hee is unilaterally courting Baek Ha-na.
‘I should at least apologize later.’
I don’t know if I don’t know at all.
They had met each other several times at gatherings, and the relationship between ‘Changgung’ and ‘Iron Knight’ was also friendly, so Kang Seok-ho felt the need to apologize to her for the sake of the future.
Above all, I even mentioned the name of Nam Seo-hee yesterday for a just cause.
No matter how much it is a place that encourages competition between students, it wasn’t a very nice act to grab someone and take away just because they had something they wanted with the background of a teenage guild.
It was something that could damage the image of the guild if it was later discussed through the community or other external sites.
So, the method that the group, including Kang Seok-ho, chose was to find an opponent who matched the class as much as possible and apply for a skirmish.
And really luckily, Baek Ha-na, who used to hang out with Nam Seo-hee, was caught.
‘The onlooker… … I have a little.’
Of course, it was a golden weekend, and it was an important day to complete the timetable, but there were few idiots leisurely watching other people’s fights.
Considering the competition or semester evaluation to be held later, Kang Seok-ho felt a little relieved that there were few spectators, as it was better to hide his skills moderately.
That’s how I spent time looking for and reading special issues that took place inside the academy using my smart watch.
– Baek Ha-na, Kang Seok-ho. To Area A-1.
When his name was called through the speakers installed in the arena, Kang Seok-ho quickly got up and moved.
Kang Han-na, who was waiting in front of the training ground, said to Hana Baek and Seok-ho Kang, who approached almost at the same time.
“If there is an armed person you want, bring it by your side.”
Hana Baek climbed onto the training ground naked and unpacked, and Seok-ho Kang pulled out an iron sword that had no blade and climbed onto the training ground.
Kang Han-na said after confirming that the two stood on the marked line.
“When this coin lands on the floor, it’s a start.”
Originally, a doping test was supposed to be conducted, but Kang Han Na, who found out where Kang Seok-ho belonged while checking the schedule, decided to skip that part.
It was the external image that 10 guilds with equal skills were concerned about to outsmart each other, so they decided to believe it. Above all, the fact that both received ridiculously good grades in the exam played a part.
“preparation.”
Kang Han-na put the coin on her thumb.
Ting-!!
Coins bounced up with a clear sound.
In response, Kang Seok-ho did not take any preparation posture and glared at Baek Ha-na, who was glaring at him with an expressionless face.
‘I don’t think I’m going to give up… Are you ignoring me?’
If he had intended to abstain, he would have expressed his intention before going up here, so naturally, I couldn’t help but think that what Baek Hana was doing right now was because she was ignoring herself.
Kwaaak-!!
Kang Seok-ho’s hand was too strong.
I was thinking of doing it in moderation, even thinking about the future match with Nam Seo-hee, but my heart has completely disappeared.
‘It ends in one shot.’
There is nothing to express the ability.
I just hit it with an overwhelming amount of magical power.
When Kang Seok-ho made up his mind, a coin thrown by Kang Han-na passed by while the two were staring at each other.
A small coin slowly going to the floor.
The very moment when Kang Seok-ho focused on the sound and prepared to run toward Baek Ha-na at once.
Teeing-!!
Baek Ha-na and Kang Seok-ho rushed at each other.
‘fast!!’
As soon as the coin fell on the head of the opponent who was not preparing anything, the beast’s ears sprouted. And the opponent’s speed was faster than himself, and the distance was shortened in an instant.
‘A conversion system would be fine… … .’
He tried not to aim for the face as much as possible, but there was no need to hesitate with a conversion system with good durability, so Kang Seok-ho rolled his left foot and raised the sword he was holding diagonally.
‘If you want to avoid it, try avoiding it!!’
I was able to land a follow-up straight away with my left foot, which became a support wherever I was avoiding.
However, Hana Baek did not avoid Kang Seok-ho’s sword.
Instead, he opened his tightly closed mouth wide and chewed up the sword that Kang Seok-ho had drawn with his sharp fangs.
Kaga-gak-!!
A sword that shatters with the sound of metal scraping.
“… … ?!”
In an unexpected situation, Kang Seok-ho’s eyes flashed, and the hand holding the broken sword cut through the air.
‘this!!’
Kang Seok-ho quickly twisted his body and tried to punch Baek Ha-na, but Baek Ha-na attacked Kang Seok-ho much faster.
Poo-!!
Kang Seok-ho, who was attacked by Baek Ha-na with a dull sound, collapsed to the floor.
“Damn it!!”
Kang Seok-ho looked up at Baek Ha-na, who was on top of his boat, and quickly tried to push him away with both arms.
aaagh
“Kuh… … .”
This time, Baekhana was a little faster than Kang Seok-ho.
Hana Baek pressed both of Seokho Kang’s forearms with her knees and looked down with cold eyes.
“Two.”
Fragments of the shattered sword spew from one hundred and one mouths.
‘crazy… … !!’
He thought that there would be no classmates who could match his magical power unless he was a supernatural world. However, an opponent who overwhelms his magical power was right in front of his eyes.
Arms that do not budge no matter how much mana is gathered in both arms and tried to move.
‘… … There must have been a reason Nam Seo-hee clung to him.’
But that’s it, a skirmish is a skirmish.
Although he acknowledged that his opponent was strong, that did not lead to defeat.
Unlike his opponent, who is a conversion system Awakener, he has not yet manifested his abilities.
‘Damn it… … This is why information is important.’
At that moment, Kang Seok-ho’s muscles swelled and his skin color turned gray.
Strength increased and the outer skin became harder than steel.
It has the disadvantage of being dull due to the increased weight, but in the current situation, it was rather advantageous, so Kang Seok-ho once again strengthened his arms.
aaagh
‘… … ?’
Obviously, the ability was expressed and gave strength, but the two arms still did not move. That’s when he realized something was wrong with him.
“Is that the end?”
“uh?”
Kang Seok-ho unknowingly made a dumbfounded noise at the cold voice that made the conversation go cold.
However, Baek Hana interpreted it in a different way and raised her two fists that she had been teasing.
“No, sleep—”
Fast-!!
“… … ?!”
Kang Seok-ho had to swallow his breath at the tingling pain, even though his outer skin was obviously harder than steel.
“Because of you… … .”
“Wait, I lost—”
Fast-!!
“Gagging!!”
“If it wasn’t for you… … .”
Fast-!!
“Puff!!”
“You ruined everything… … .”
Fast-!!
Fast-!!
Fast-!!
By the time the red liquid flowed down Kang Seok-ho’s philtrum, which had turned gray.
“stop!!”
Kang Han-na, who was watching from below, hurriedly came upstairs.
The reason was that Kang Seok-ho’s legs, which were struggling to resist, hung like a corpse.
“Go down.”
“… … .”
At Kang Han-na’s instruction, Baek Ha-na slowly rose from above Kang Seok-ho and came out to the side. Then he glared at Kang Seok-ho, who rolled his eyes, and murmured softly.
“… face… … I remembered… .”
