“Is it okay for a moment?”

At the sound coming from behind his shoulder, Han Sejun looked around to see the owner of the voice.

The main character is Jang A-hyeon. Standing next to him was a girl with a unique hime-cut hairstyle.

“Ah. It’s you. What’s going on?”

“I wanted to receive a response to the suggestion I made last time. There was no response even after a month.”

“That’s… .”

Han Se-jun thought about it. Not long after the semester started, she spoke to him and said she would make a proposal.

Han Se-jun was a little excited when the female student suddenly called him out, and was expecting something to say, but he was caught off guard by her next words.

─Han Se-jun, please come under me.

─What?

A ridiculous suggestion. How dare you come under him.

─I am Jang A-hyun, Taesung Group’s famous daughter. I would like to offer you a recruitment offer.

I remember saying no to that answer because it was so sudden.

This is the academy established by Dean Northmund. Are you planning to create your own faction there? Of course, there is no way it will be allowed.

So I said no, and she backed out cleanly without any regrets, saying she would offer it again next time.

“I’m sorry, but didn’t you reject that last time?”

“So is this a rejection again?”

“I don’t know what you’re thinking.”

To be honest, I was a little disappointed in her. Was the confident steps and confident appearance I saw at the entrance ceremony created in this way?

“That’s a good story for you too. I can give you information. Depending on what you do, I can provide you not only with information but also with ample funds.”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know why you think so highly of me. It’s a bit burdensome.”

“You underestimate yourself so much. I already know that you were the first person to create Dantian. And your talent is very great.”

“In the end, you are treated according to your abilities.”

When she said that, she smiled and said, “Isn’t that obvious?”

Han Sejun was left speechless by the tone that was so reasonable, as if he was giving the answer that 1+1 is 2.

“Anyway, we can’t stop factions from forming in Ellada. You actually know, Sejun, right? A few factions have already formed.”

Han Se-jun made a bitter expression at those words. She was right.

He wasn’t particularly interested in academy politics, but at first glance, he knew that some groups had formed.

Lately, there have been a lot of guys chasing him around and talking to him.

Most of them ended up asking people to join their group as if they knew the Tao, so they kicked them out.

She sat down in the empty seat next to him and continued talking.

“Let me explain. There are already four major groups in Elada. The faction of Jimmy Ramirez, who has the ability to speak. ”

Jang Ah-hyun said, extending the index finger of her raised hand.

“Next is Gideon Gray’s faction. This faction has the largest number.”

She spread one more finger.

Although it was not in Han Se-jun’s memory, it is said that during his first natural ability class, Gideon received praise from Northmund for his outstanding talent.

He proved his ability by completing even the Danjeon immediately.

He was big and had a good-natured and just personality, making him the ideal leader, so there were always a lot of people around him.

In general, this group is made up of people with physical enhancement abilities following Gideon’s abilities.

“And the faction of Li Jiyuan, the dragon assistant. The Chinese government is openly helping them. Although their numbers are not that large, there are many capable people who joined in the hope of receiving support from the party.”

One more finger rises from the hand.

I thought that would be the case with that guy. He was a guy I didn’t like a bit. He was the guy who said he was the first awakened person and measured all sorts of things.

“The long-awaited last one is Jang A-hyeon.”

She grinned and spread one more finger. She seemed a little embarrassed.

“Although it is the smallest in number, it is a faction made up of a small number of elites.”

“… How long do you think it will be?”

“If Sejun Han joins, there will be a total of 5 people.”

“… .”

Han Se-jun forgot what to say for a moment. Can we say that is the number of people? Isn’t it just at the level of a local club?

“Still, it’s an all-star team made up of strong players. Muriel Müller from the shadow, Tania Grayson from the barrier, Jang A-hyun from the light bullet, and psychic Yue Nakajima. She’s the one standing next to me right now.”

“… Hello.”

When a girl with black hair and a hime-cut hairstyle shyly greeted him, Han Sejun also lightly greeted her.

Jang Ah-hyeon’s faction had a small number of team members, but it was a faction made up of special abilities rather than ordinary abilities such as body strengthening.

‘No, they’re all women more than that?!’

“I tried to recruit Alexander Ivanovic, who has lightning skills, but unfortunately he was taken away by the Ramirez faction. So, Sejun Han, I must take you.”

Han Se-jun scratched his temple for a moment as he looked at him, asking, “Are you going to accept this?”

In fact, I was a little attracted to her. After hearing her introduce the group members, I felt a little more energized.

When I thought about it again, if the factions were divided to this extent, it seemed inevitable that I would join one group.

Yes, there is no choice. Isn’t it natural to participate in a grand cause even if you don’t have the heart?

“That… So what benefits do I have?”

“First of all, you will be financially well-off, and we can also tell you about the future academic schedule and exam information that we have found out. This means that we trust you. You know that we cannot tell this to anyone else, right?”

Han Se-jun nodded at the last part of the statement that was quite firm.

“Academic schedule?”

“Yes, I don’t know the long-term schedule, but the short-term schedule… hmm. For example, weapons will be distributed next week. Elada seems to understand that most students will use swords.”

It’s a sword. I have no complaints about using a sword as my main weapon.

It is a weapon that stimulates men’s romance, and the world was fascinated by the great sword used by Northmund, and swordsmanship began to become popular as a sport prematurely.

‘It’s a sword. It’s okay, it kind of looks like a hero.’

It seemed like the information power of Taesung Group, her partner, was enormous. Is it not for nothing that they are a large company that dominates the world?

I thought it would be okay to be in the same boat as her, who was quick to support and had excellent information.

As he was about to answer in the affirmative with a pounding heart, he saw a female student coming towards him after sparring.

There were severe bruises on his face, both of his lips were busted, and his legs were limping. It looked like he was headed to the infirmary.

─Today, Yoon got hit so hard that he burst out. He does it in moderation until he turns into a mush.

─He’s a bit of a strange kid. On the contrary, the instructors seemed embarrassed and fed up. Is she a crazy woman?

─Is he a majo? Doesn’t he like getting beaten up? That’s kind of lame.

─Wow, Bill. It’s a bit weird to say something like that in a place like this.

I was angry. The anger that had subsided to some extent while talking to her rose up again.

He couldn’t possibly understand these guys who mocked weak people behind their backs and hurled obscenities at them. Not only that, he even felt fierce hatred for them.

I’m not sure why. If I had to guess, it might be because Han Se-jun himself lived an unfortunate life as a single parent since he was young.

But is it wrong to be angry at injustice? I don’t think so.

“Okay, I’ll join your faction. But let that girl in too. That’s the condition.”

He pointed at her with his finger. She was now limping and leaving the gym at a slow pace.

Listening to Jang Ah-hyun’s words, I realized that although she is small, she has considerable power.

In that case, if Yun Shia joins this faction, at least outsiders will stop pouring out such harsh words even if they are bothered by the friction between the factions.

Jang A-hyeon followed his finger and turned her eyes. She was silent for a moment when she saw the target.

Unfortunately, the words that came out of her mouth a moment later shattered his expectations.

“That’s not possible.”

“… Why.”

“I told you, it’s a small number of cases.”

Her eyes as she looked at him contained many answers.

My mind went cold. Why is it impossible? Is it simply because she is weak?

“No matter what!”

I didn’t feel any sense of disappointment or skepticism. In fact, it was because I had expected it. I could understand it in my head.

Since it is a minority faction, the reputation of its members will be greatly affected. Rather, it will become a laughingstock. Jang Ah-hyun’s faction may fall apart due to ridicule.

However, even if you understand it with your head, it is a different matter from accepting it with your heart.

“Not only that, she herself doesn’t want it.”

“What?”

“You don’t believe me? Then go ahead and make an offer. If you accept my offer, I will accept you as a member of my group.”

At those words, Han Sejun jumps up from his seat and runs towards her who is just about to leave the gym door.

Jang A-hyeon, who had been looking at him for a moment, also stood up and started following him at a slow pace that was not too slow, but did not seem to be in a hurry.

The girl from Himecut who was following Ahyeon Jang spoke to her in a low voice.

“ho… If Yun accepts Han’s proposal, will you really accept him as a group?”

” That’s right. I’m a person who keeps what I say. But… .”

I can’t accept it. Because… .

‘I’ve already suggested it to her.’
