Kukugugu-!

“Whoa… … ”

As the corpse of the ogre with its head blown off fell to the ground with a loud noise, Chavia’s legs gave out and he collapsed on the spot.

It was simply the fatigue that came with the end of the battle, but more than that, it was the feeling of exhaustion that came from using my talent properly for the first time.

To put it bluntly, it was a situation where I could barely hold on to my sanity by looking up at the sky with my vision blurry and swaying.

At that moment.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Do Yu-jin, who had been far away, approached her without his mask and said hello.

Only then did Chavia remember his presence, and instead of turning her head, she barely managed to move her tongue to spit out a few words.

“You… …what the hell are you doing?”

“I already told you.”

Do Yu-jin shrugged and said as he lifted her body from the floor and moved it to a nearby shaded area.

“I’m just a simple fan of Mr. Chavia.”

It was truly an embarrassing thing to say, but Do Yu-jin couldn’t help it.

Because in order for Chavia to awaken her talent and fly through it, she needed someone by her side to tell her these words.

Someone who looks straight at her every appearance, affirms her stubbornness, and is always with her wherever she goes; in short, someone she can trust deeply.

‘Well, I used [Hatred of the Palace (7★)] to completely ignore all those parts, but it’s not a bad thing to do anyway.’

Trust between people?

Is that a big deal?

If you truly believe what someone says, no matter what the method, that is trust.

‘If you think about it, there really isn’t a lie there.’

That would be the case, because the man named Do Yu-jin, who was obsessed with the game [Circle Academy], was definitely one of her fans.

“Whew, we finally arrived.”

Do Yu-jin moved her body slightly, loosening up her stiff body that had been sitting for so long.

In the meantime.

“… … ”

Erio looked around quietly, his eyes sparkling fiercely.

Do Yu-jin followed him and nodded her head slightly.

But in his eyes, what he saw was not the pure scenery of this place, but a half-mixed version of the scenery in his head.

‘Last week it was China, a few days ago it was Korea, and this week it was Japan.’

Do Yu-jin lightly rubbed his neck.

Although it is said that we live in a world where movement within a country is free thanks to portals, it was truly a dynamic schedule.

While Do Yu-jin continued to think blankly.

“Whew, you came sooner than I thought.”

“It’s been a while, Japan… … ”

I saw a lot of students wearing their circle uniforms around me, but when I thought about it, it wasn’t particularly strange.

‘It feels like a lot of time has passed since I’ve been doing a lot of things… But actually, it was only a week ago that Monica’s attack happened.’

Later on, various incidents would occur one after another and the story would change a bit, but the world today is relatively well-balanced.

Simply put, most people are living safe lives.

It wasn’t for nothing that the freshmen reacted to the gargoyle at the entrance ceremony like chicks facing a lion.

‘But then those guys who were raised so well suddenly experienced a large-scale terror attack by a famous villain firsthand.’

Although he didn’t seem to have decided to drop out, it wouldn’t have been strange if some students came down to his hometown to calm him down when his mind became complicated or he felt various changes in his emotions.

In fact, the circle had read the minds of such students and had set up a portal center that allowed them to use the portal center at a discounted price.

‘Well, it’s a bit noisy because there are a lot of people.’

If it were the usual Doyujin, she would have used the portal center during a quiet time rather than a busy time like this.

But this time, it was difficult to move with that kind of leisure.

Because I had to go back to Summoning class next week.

Glance-

Do Yu-jin glanced at Yu-na, who was sitting with her head as a nest.

After some experiments, Doyujin was able to find out that Yuna was a very useful and versatile summoner.

‘It’s not a bad ability to wrap shadows around your wings and use them to move or attack, or to fly through the sky and report the surrounding situation through the string of a contract.’

Yuna was a summoner who matched well with Do Yu-jin, who used guns as weapons.

ha-

‘But it’s a shame that it can’t be strong enough to surprise the people who see it.’

Do Yu-jin’s first goal now was to complete the title of genius of alchemy and summoning.

I don’t want to get involved with the main characters, but I still need to make a living.

‘For now, we’ve already finished some of the work on alchemy in the last class.’

So now all that’s left is to be called a genius in summoning.

For his sake, I had to somehow make a contract with a powerful summoner who had such splendid power that just seeing him would make my eyes dazzle.

‘But still… … If that’s the only reason, then it’s okay to just leave the circle a little late.’

Of course, Erio, who wanted to go on a trip quickly, might have puffed out his cheeks a little.

But that wasn’t a problem, since a few pats on the head would calm him down.

Even though she knew him, the reason Do Yu-jin moved so quickly was.

‘Because that guy is in the circle right now.’

It was to avoid Chavia, who was probably stirring the circle by now.

Perhaps because the sensation he felt during the battle with the ogre was quite shocking, Chavia continued to stare blankly at his hands until the end of class.

‘And as soon as class was over, I ran off somewhere.’

Perhaps she went to the training room to feel the sensation she felt during the battle again, but Do Yu-jin didn’t think she would be able to feel that sensation again just because she did so.

Basically, it was because she was the type that was strong in real combat rather than practice, but the main reason was that she had been chained for too long to be released with just one short release.

It wasn’t a matter of talent or effort.

It was a matter of the heart.

‘To begin with, Chabia still didn’t trust himself, so at that time, it was only possible because I helped him with [Suspicious Darkness] in [Hatred of the Palace (7★)].’

By now, Chavia must have also begun to sense that something was strange.

‘And of course, he’s going to come looking for me to find out why he was able to succeed back then. And even if not, he’ll probably come to a similar conclusion soon enough.’

This was not an expectation, it was a certainty.

In fact, in the game, Chavia acted that way when he first awakened his talent after receiving the protagonist’s trust.

‘And then he followed the main character around for a long time.’

No, would it be more accurate to say that he was dragged around?

Sigh-

I wanted to just disappear and leave you to figure it out, but I couldn’t do that.

Because Chavia was a character that required a lot of attention in many ways to grow.

‘If the peak when growth ended wasn’t so high, I would have just given up coolly.’

Sigh-

The moment Do Yu-jin sighed.

fidgeting-

He saw Erio looking at him with eyes filled with anxiety.

A look of concern on his face as he looks at Do Yu-jin, who suddenly lets out a sigh, wondering if he did something wrong.

“Sorry, I was just thinking about something else.”

In return, Do Yu-jin patted Erio’s head once as an apology and then lightly shook his head.

‘Let’s forget about the circle for now and focus only on the work here.’

Do Yu-jin said that to herself and looked at Tokyo, Japan once more.

“It seems neater than I thought.”

Then, Erio naturally rode on Doyujin’s back and said.

“Surprised?”

“Yeah.”

Erio nodded without a moment’s hesitation.

“I knew it wasn’t a lawless area, but I didn’t know it was this well maintained.”

“Well, it’s common to think that way.”

Once again, the skies and seas of this world have long since become the domain of non-human monsters due to repeated dungeon breaks.

This led to the emergence of a new means of transportation called portals instead of ships and airplanes, but that did not mean that other means of transportation like ships and airplanes completely disappeared.

So, island countries that were difficult to reach by the latter two modes of transportation, such as Japan and the UK, naturally began to lose their position and become more isolated.

‘Furthermore, unlike England, Japan has regions within the country that have turned into demonic realms. That makes it even worse.’

There were some benefits to be gained from having a demon kingdom on one’s territory.

But only large countries like China or Russia can discuss such benefits.

Japan suffered more harm than good from the existence of the demonic realm in its territory.

‘If I were to compare my current perception of Japan to the world I originally came from… … it would be roughly similar to a mixture of Brazil and North Korea, divided in half?’

Considering that the government believes in force and does most things by force, and that there are dark organizations like drug cartels lurking in the back alleys of the country where security is poor.
