Song Xia came to her senses.

“What happened?”

A fire mixed with divine power separated him and Lee Jun-woo.

Grrrr-

The fire burned between them.

‘I knew my skills had improved to some extent, but…’

Still, the current flame was enough to surprise even Song Xia.

Although I adjusted my strength a little to not hurt Lee Jun-woo.

The power of the Jinhyeol vampire activated in the full moon.

Even second-year cadets, who are famous for their outstanding skills, will not be able to handle it.

‘And yet you escaped the shackles of the curse?’

After leaving Aigis.

Clearly, Lee Jun-woo was growing rapidly.

Like, Aigis.

As if they were a deterrent.

Right at that moment.

Lee Jun-woo said.

“So? But isn’t that what I’m going to say?”

Just a moment ago, he was hypnotized and had a dreamy expression on his face.

Now those eyes have returned to their usual state.

Wooow-

At the same time, multiple mirrors of light were summoned around him.

‘Tch. If I do that, I won’t be able to bind Lee Jun-woo’s body again…’

There were so many things I wanted to ask him.

Feel sorry for yourself.

My heart pounded when I heard him say that he was pitiful.

Lee Jun-woo is probably the only person in the world who truly cares about him.

So I couldn’t be happier.

I haven’t been able to properly ask An Yu-min about his story yet.

However, now was not the time to be thinking about that.

Lee Jun-woo shouted.

“Do you know what you have done to me?”

Now, it’s clear that they were trying to forcibly drink Lee Jun-woo’s blood.

So he had an uncharacteristically angry expression on his face.

Song Xia inadvertently took a step back in surprise.

“That… That…”

I thought about using Jinhyeol’s power one more time to restrain him.

Lee Jun-woo has already come to his senses.

If this happens, the original plan of moving on as if it were a dream from last night goes awry.

‘What should I do?’

wanted him

I wanted to make it one of my own.

It’s already to the point where he feels sorry for me and worries me.

Lee Jun-woo is probably not completely heartless either.

For a moment, a similar situation I saw in a romantic fantasy came to mind.

‘okay. In times of crisis, it is better to speak one’s true intentions.’

I did it because I liked it.

Other than that, there was no other way to explain the current situation.

And the truth… it might be.

Song Xia, who was silent for a moment, spoke to him.

Jinhyeol’s blood made her more honest.

“I want to do well with you. I need you.”

This was all she could say.

‘Lee Jun-woo might be angry, but…’

Still, the person who led the expulsion of Lee Jun-woo was An Yu-min.

So, all that love and hate will be directed towards An Yu-min.

If you want an apology for what led to his banishment.

I was able to do enough.

If you leave An Yu-min and become your own man.

Although I was taught by my father that members of the family should never bow first.

If the opponent was Lee Jun-woo, he could have done it.

Song Xia waited for the answer with a trembling heart.

However, after hearing those words, Lee Jun-woo did not move at all for a while.

‘Hwado… are you guiding me?’

So I became more upset.

It’s better if you get angry.

I was planning to keep apologizing.

The Lee Jun-woo he knows will definitely forgive him.

‘But why…’

I was anxious because he was so quiet.

Although Song Xia’s emotions were extremely faint.

Still, I knew that excited people were much easier to deal with than calm people.

“What are you talking about now? Want to go out with you? That’s nonsense.”

But Lee Jun-woo looked at her with a completely unmoved expression.

***

Song Xia’s voice rose in response to that firm reply.

“Is that because of An Yu-min?”

Lee Jun-woo answered with an expression of bewilderment.

“Why is An Yu-min still showing up from earlier?”

“That’s it… You liked An Yu-min! So, we all know that An Yu-min went into a panic because he expelled you! I heard what that school nurse said!”

Lee Jun-woo was silent.

No matter how emotionless Song Xia is.

At least Lee Jun-woo’s actions are not lies.

Song Xia, who watched him every day, knew.

‘So everything is An Yu-min’s problem.’

However, Lee Jun-woo, who finally opened his mouth, denied that fact.

“Do you really think I got panic disorder because of An Yu-min alone?”

“That’s…”

“It’s all over now. I did my best not only for An Yu-min but also for you guys. I don’t know if you know that, but.”

“……”

“And yet you three expelled me. It’s not An Yu-min’s fault alone. Not a single person opposed my deportation, right?”

That was true.

Ha Ye-eun strongly agreed with An Yu-min’s suggestion to expel Lee Jun-woo.

Although Song Xia did not voice her opinion out loud.

I didn’t object to it either.

In her way of thinking, having grown up in a family.

Lee Jun-woo, an incompetent person.

I couldn’t work with him as Aigis’ work became increasingly burdensome.

It was only after he left Aegis that I realized my feelings for him.

‘Then Lee Jun-woo was greatly shocked not only by An Yu-min… but also by the other two?’

I didn’t even think of that.

It is possible to dislike the other two people who agreed to be expelled.

Although I thought about it calmly.

I never thought that I myself had become the cause of the panic.

And to that truth.

Song Xia was shocked.

‘And yet… Lee Jun-woo was thinking that he felt sorry for me in his heart?’

A little while ago, Lee Jun-woo was under hypnosis.

I asked him what he thought of himself.

Absolute hypnosis using the power of Jinhyeol.

So I couldn’t lie.

To Lee Jun-woo, who has such a warm heart.

The three people of Aegis ended up doing something bad.

“Anyway, I have nothing more to say about that. I am also with An Yu-min. Because it has nothing to do with Aegis. Don’t misunderstand anything. Don’t worry about me either.”

After saying that, Lee Jun-woo turned around.

“Oh, by the way. And I have no intention of dating anyone right now. Unlike you, I am an ordinary person. I’m busy listening to lectures and receiving training every day. There is no time for dating games.”

Song Xia shouted.

“Well, that’s not possible! How can I be forgiven by you? Yes, if you ask me to apologize, I will!”

“Well. I’m tired now too. I don’t want to talk anymore.”

With those words, Lee Jun-woo left the warehouse.

Song Xia flopped down on the spot.

“Then why did you say that you would never date me…”

Just yesterday.

I overheard a conversation between Woon-kyung Jeong and Jun-woo Lee.

At that time, I thought it was because I still had lingering feelings for An Yu-min.

That wasn’t it.

Naturally, it was impossible to date someone who had agreed to expel Lee Jun-woo.

Not only An Yu-min, but he himself is also the cause of the panic.

Because he was the one who caused great pain to Lee Jun-woo.

‘I need to apologize more…’

It was a rational conclusion.

But I sensed that an apology alone would not be the solution.

It would have been better if he had gotten angry.

I didn’t know if I could solve it somehow.

Lee Jun-woo didn’t say a single harsh word to her, but turned around and left calmly.

Rather, Song Xia suffered more from that calmness.

“Huh…”

I felt a severe headache.

Normally, I shouldn’t have felt the slightest emotion.

Jinhyeol’s blood awakens with feelings for Lee Jun-woo.

The blood also awakened her emotions that should not have existed.

“Ugh… black…”

So tears filled with emotion flowed down her cheeks.

This time, I can clearly know my feelings.

It felt like my heart was being torn apart.

Terrible anxiety.

I was anxious that my relationship with Lee Jun-woo would disappear completely at this rate.

‘It hurts… it’s painful.’

I needed him so much.

I wanted to drink his blood even more.

If I could receive Lee Jun-woo’s affection, I could do anything.

What is certain is that Song Xia could not give up on Lee Jun-woo.

But now there is no way.

It seemed like their short relationship, which had already been broken, could not be restored.

‘no. ‘I wouldn’t be without Lee Jun-woo.’

Like the legendary vampire that dies when exposed to sunlight.

It will feel like you are dying.

Because I already knew the feeling called love.

Even now, I felt like I was going to collapse from the extreme desire to suck blood and anemia.

But this late at night.

There was nothing Song Xia could do except cry.

***

It’s the third day of Hell Week.

The discharge ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow.

The last day of actual hell week.

As I moved to the new training ground, I briefly recalled yesterday’s events.

‘I gained demonic power.’

It seems that Song Xia had greater feelings for me than I thought.

Well, if Jinhyeol’s blood was awakened and he was prepared to suck blood.

That he really thought of me as the opposite sex.

So the hidden quest was opened.

[Hidden Quest]===================​​==​​​​​​​​​​​​

​

[Hidden quest ‘Black Thread Marionette’ has been opened.]

​

* Marionette: Song Sia

​

▶▶ The pure white thread between the marionette and you begins to turn black.

: Every time the marionette dyes itself pure white thread, it can absorb demonic power.​

================================​​​​​​​​​​​

I rejected Song Xia’s desire to drink blood.

Nevertheless, the hidden quest was cleared.

I closed my eyes for a moment.

The image of Song Xia hanging on a string like a marionette doll came to mind.

And the hand that controls that thread is my hand.

It was proof that Song Xia did not give up on me despite my rejection.

The more the emotion becomes colored black.

The more obsessed you become with me.

[Profile]=========​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​

[Hidden status has been acquired.]

​

* User: Junwoo Lee

* User level: 15

* Awakening level: 42

* Possessed mana​: 80 / 80

* Demon power: 30 / 30 (New!)

▷▷ Demonic power cannot be automatically recovered.​

​

================================​​​​​​​​​​​​

I can continue to absorb demonic power.

Of course, unlike the Aigis time.

I don’t need to take care of Song Xia at all.

It means that A and B have become polar opposites.

There are many uses for that demonic power.

As if the sacred strike had evolved into the rare skill ‘Goddess’ Flame Sword’.

You can create a new skill containing that demonic power.

‘It is also possible to strengthen items such as weapons.’

However, demonic power has the disadvantage of being one-time use.

It is a wealth that comes to me without any effort on my part.

I have gained one more tool to use in future underworld side quests.

“Then, let’s start with a brief orientation before the third day of training.”

At that time, an instructor came in.

It was a familiar face, instructor Lee Su-yeon.

At that moment, Lee Soo-yeon and I met our eyes. She grinned.

“You worked hard for two days. I will still roll today. Still, it will be more fun than the previous two days.”

30 people from two classes were sitting in the stands at the outdoor training ground.

Soo-yeon Lee, holding the instructor’s baton, began to explain.

“Today’s training is villain extermination training. That’s also training assuming a city situation.”

She was right.

Just tonight.

Taking advantage of this villain extermination training, an actual villain breaks into this training ground.

She pointed to the outdoor electronic whiteboard.

Although several villains flashed through the presentation for a moment.

She stopped scrolling at a photo of a villain.

“I can give several examples. Let’s talk about this villain first.”

Right then.

Suddenly, one of the cadets shouted.

“Hey, that’s a horror hall!”

A middle class cadet wearing a training uniform. It was Jeong Si-woo.

Lee Soo-yeon smiled at that reaction.

“Yes. This is a villain you all know well, right? And…”

At the same time, he posted a photo of a villain.

“When talking about horror halls, it’s natural to talk about this villain, right?”

I was inwardly embarrassed when I saw the picture of the villain.

‘That’s Unknown, right?’

It was like that.

A familiar image of myself was spread out on that electronic whiteboard.

The expressions of the cadets looking at the unknown were serious.
