by adminThe commotion that took place at the first training center ended more smoothly than expected.
When I talked to Cheon Yu-hwa, who had calmed down to some extent after clashing with me, she said that the fight was caused by a minor misunderstanding in the first place.
Cheon Yu-hwa was caught up in the magic cast by Seria Alfheim, and what followed immediately afterwards was ‘I didn’t know because I didn’t have any magic.’ Cheon Yu-hwa, who was scratched by his remarks, suffered a setback.
Fortunately, the heated atmosphere cooled down because I physically rolled over, and naturally both of us had time to calm down.
And now that the commotion had calmed down, there was no longer any reason for the cadets to gather together.
Seria Alfheim and Cheon Yu-hwa were the first to leave the training center, saying they had to attend an afternoon lecture, and when the two who were the main players in the commotion disappeared, the crowd naturally dispersed.
… This is the story that was spread externally to the cadets.
“Now, pick something.”
Seria Alfheim and Chun Yu-hwa, who had left the gym to attend an afternoon lecture, are now walking along the restaurant street with me.
If you ask why this situation happened, it can be said to be Cheon Yu-hwa’s stubbornness.
“I’m really fine… ?”
“I’m not okay.”
Cheon Yu-hwa, who knew full well that I had become a half-corpse after eating the Great Hwandan of the World Tree only a few hours ago, brought me to the restaurant to apologize for not having eaten lunch and to buy me a meal.
Seria Alfheim had a similar reason. He declared that he was the one who sent Cheon Yu-hwa to me, so he would take responsibility for it.
“If there is something you want to eat, tell me.”
Perhaps because lunch time wasn’t over yet, the eyes of some of the cadets remaining in the cafeteria were focused on me.
I don’t know about the girls who were snuggling next to me and chattering, but to the other cadets, the current situation was somewhat misleading.
A guy who usually hangs around with two pretty girls from the first day of school… It’s just such a bad misunderstanding.
“Then, I’ll go there.”
In the end, I couldn’t convince them and ended up relying on their wallets for today’s lunch.
I stretched out my finger and pointed to a store. It was a hamburger restaurant with a yellow and white interior.
Not all hamburger restaurants are like that, but in general, hamburgers are a representative example of cheap and delicious food.
“Are you feeling okay?”
“Yes. It’s much better than before.”
As soon as I ordered a hamburger, received a vibrating bell, and sat down, Cheon Yu-hwa started asking questions.
When I thought about it, I remembered that Cheon Yu-hwa also ate the same World Tree Daehwandan as me.
“But Cheon Yu-hwa… ”
As I was about to say that, I made eye contact with Seria Alfheim.
The World Tree’s Grand Ring is an item that Professor Caria gave us secretly after taking us to a deserted place.
Would it be okay for Ceria Alfheim, who wasn’t there, to know?
As I was thinking about that and closing my mouth, Cheon Yu-hwa, who looked back and forth between me and Seria Alfheim, smiled and opened her mouth.
“I’m okay. Maybe it’s because I don’t have magical power, but my heart gets warm for a moment and then my body just feels better.”
I was secretly impressed when I heard her answer my naturally interrupted question.
Although he revealed that he had taken the elixir, he did not say that it was the great illusion of the World Tree.
The world is large and there are many different types of elixirs.
To roughly categorize it as an elixir, it is possible to deceive the World Tree’s Great Hwandan as an ordinary elixir received from Professor Caria.
“By any chance, what are you two talking about?”
“Betting with Professor Caria… We did something similar, but we won and received the elixir.”
“Bet?”
I told the story that happened during the lecture to Ceria Alfheim, who started looking at me curiously.
She repeatedly burst out in admiration as she listened to the moments when Cheon Yu-hwa targeted Professor Caria with incredible speed and the moment when he created an opening for Professor Caria with a barrier technique.
As we talked so much without even noticing the passage of time, the atmosphere relaxed quite a bit.
Ugh-.
“Ah, looks like a hamburger has arrived.”
When the vibrating bell rang, indicating that the ordered food had been delivered, Cheon Yu-hwa stood up.
She left the table saying she would bring a hamburger, but returned shortly afterwards with a hamburger.
While eating the hamburgers we each ordered, we continued to chat lightly.
.
.
.
“Was it delicious?”
“Yes. Thanks to you, I ate well.”
After finishing the meal, Cheon Yu-hwa, who was drinking the remaining cola through a straw, quietly asked a question.
Of course, the answer was definitely positive. It was a lunch that Seria Alfheim and Cheon Yu-hwa bought for me, so if I had the courtesy to say it was delicious.
Of course, my answer was not vague out of courtesy.
‘This is what hamburgers taste like.’
Maybe it’s because I’ve only eaten franchise hamburgers my whole life, but the taste of the homemade burger I ate for lunch today still lingered in my mouth.
I already miss the taste that it wouldn’t have been a waste to buy it myself with my credit.
Tiroling-.
“Ah, I’m going to go listen to the lecture soon.”
Seria Alfheim, who was smiling as if she was satisfied with my answer, said that when she heard the alarm on her smartphone.
“By the way, could you please hand over your smartphone for a moment?”
“Like this?”
“Okay, wait a minute… .”
As Ceria Alfheim said, I gently held out my smartphone. She told me to wait a moment and attached the back of her smartphone to the back of mine.
「Seria Alfheim has been saved to your contacts.」
“?”
What, did this feature exist?
I was mesmerized and amazed by the latest technology of the 24th century. A 21st century technology that used to charge other smartphones in the same way came to mind.
“This is my contact information. I hope we can continue to eat together like this often and get along well.”
“Thank you.”
I unintentionally obtained Seria Alfheim’s contact information. Afterwards, I received Cheon Yu-hwa’s contact information in the same way.
In an instant, two new names appeared in my contacts.
“Okay then, I’ll just leave.”
“Goodbye~”
Cheon Yu-hwa waved her hand above her head to see Seria Alfheim off to the classroom in the learning center.
She waved for a few seconds, then lowered her hand and waved goodbye to me.
“I also have a lecture to attend. I’ll go first.”
“Yes. I had a good lunch.”
“Okay… ? Then let’s eat together next time. I have some credits from Othinus.”
My head went blank. Since I received credit directly from Othinus, I was curious about the real relationship between Othinus and Cheon Yu-hwa.
What happened between the two to give them credit for special admission?
We each went our separate ways, hoping that one day she would tell us.
Cheon Yu-hwa went to listen to the afternoon lecture on demonology.
To take a separately assigned class.
「Karia Leifeld: Cadet Seong Yu-jin. Are you feeling better?”
“me : yes. “It’s much better than before.”
While replying to the text message from Professor Karia, I walked towards the dormitory.
「Karia Leifeld: Can you use the perception-blocking barrier? Please bring a replica Gungnir and come to the 2nd training center by 3 PM.”
I read Professor Karia’s text message telling me to bring Gungnir to the 2nd training center and skimmed the screen with my finger.
The screen quickly moved up and the first message I received from Professor Caria appeared on the screen.
「Karia Leifeld: Cadet Seong Yujin will receive one-on-one lectures with the professor in charge of each subject during major classes. Since I am in charge of the first lecture, I will meet you in person in the afternoon and teach you the detailed schedule.”
One-on-one lecture.
This is a privilege for senior students that did not exist in the original work.
Although I was guided by Professor Caria, I have never seen a one-on-one lecture with a professor in the original work, so I don’t know what kind of lecture she will give.
‘Would it be better?’
Rather than having one professor give a lecture to dozens of people. It is more effective for one professor to focus on one cadet.
Although I thought that being the top student was an honorary position in name only, there were secretly big and small benefits in areas related to learning and life.
The most representative example is the penthouse of a dormitory skyscraper.
I picked up the imitation Gungnir left next to the bed and walked straight to the second training center.
I didn’t forget to install a perception-blocking barrier on the replica Gungnir. Because there was no one in Eden who would not recognize this window.
‘I’ll arrive there after walking for about 30 minutes.’
Since the entire continent is used as a site, the scale of Eden’s facilities is much larger than expected.
In terms of size alone, it feels more like a city built for the purpose of education rather than an educational institution like a university.
So, there is a shuttle bus that goes all over the campus, but I don’t usually use it.
‘Walking is such a good exercise.’
Even the simple training of walking while maintaining barrier techniques and strengthening the body is helpful in its own way.
Just to name a few of the barriers I am maintaining right now, they are the perception-blocking barrier placed on Gungnir and the detection barrier placed around me.
By maintaining the barrier in this way, one gradually builds up the sense and know-how of barrier techniques that cannot be known through knowledge of the status window alone.
‘Maybe a little bit further.’
Maybe it’s because I’ve always been a fast walker, but I quickly reached the distance where I could see the 2nd training center building.
As I walked a few more minutes at a faster pace, a magnificent building appeared before my eyes.
The first impression I felt upon entering was admiration.
Basically, all doors in the building are automatic. In addition, it was equipped with various facilities that seemed like something out of a science fiction novel.
Eden, home to some of the best technologies in the world.
The 2nd Training Center is where the most cutting-edge technology in Eden is gathered.
‘The first gravity room, augmented reality sparring… ‘
Technologies and facilities that had never been seen anywhere on Earth in a previous life were lined up in a row.
I spent a few minutes moving my head back and forth and looking around.
Fit-.
The barrier that had been in place since I left the dormitory alerted me to an intruder coming inside.
The shape of a woman slightly shorter than me. The heavily concentrated magical power stimulated the barrier, and a sharply sharpened presence pierced my skin.
It’s the magic I remember. I have felt this sharp magic before.
“… Professor Caria?”
“You came early.”
Professor Karia, who looked just like I saw during orientation, came to my side.
“… But where is the Gungnir that I told you to bring with you?”
“Yes?”
It seems that the perception-blocking barrier is more effective than expected.
