Chapter 149: The Angel Who Meets His Junior (6)

Episode 149: The Angel Who Meets His Junior (6)

“Ara ara?”

Sowol tilted her head, but Leffrey didn’t stop.

Leffrey narrowed his eyes, covered his mouth with his hand, and clearing his throat, trying to exude a mature aura.

“I wonder what problem our cute juniors are having that’s making them fight each other?”

(TL Note: NO WAY LEFFREY JUST ‘ARA ARA’D WHAT THE FU)

The act seemed to work, as the two girls momentarily became speechless.

‘Senior Angel Leffrey…!’

What does it mean to be a senior in this country? Although its power has diminished compared to the past, it was still a noble title once called “sunbae-nim as high as the sky.”

(TL Note: Korea put more emphasis if someone is older/has higher position or has more time in a job/work/school, you gotta be formal and respect them if you are a junior.)

‘A school senior, someone who seems like they’d teach you sports! A workplace senior, someone who seems like they’d pass on work tips!’

Leffrey, who learned about seniors through anime and light novels.

That’s why the boy admired the word ‘senior’.

‘To think that I’m such a senior…!’

Leffrey, who couldn’t even be treated as a teenager, let alone an adult, due to his pretty boy looks and his somewhat petite build, was aiming for an adult image transformation by showing a senior-like appearance this time.

Look, he had already calmed down the two girls’ fight with his authority as a senior…

“It’s because of you.”

“H-huh?”

Leffrey, who had been lost in a fantasy, turned his head at the sudden cold voice.

The pink-haired girl, Sowol, was staring at him with sharp eyes, her tail raised high.

“This fanatic started the argument first. And the reason I’m even taking this stupid test? It’s all because of *you*.”

“Because of me, that’s-”

Sowol of the Mooncat Tribe charged at him again. And Sori, the bird beast folk, blocked her path.

“Give back my sister!”

And Sori, the bird beast folk, blocked Sowol’s path.

“…You blasphemous fool, are you attacking Angel-nim again?”

Thus, the two girls began to fight once again. Leffrey tried to stop them, but due to Sori’s wings and Sowol’s cat-like agility, he couldn’t catch them.

“Ara… Ara…?”

The Senior Angel Project was already starting to crack a little. But Leffrey couldn’t give up yet.

‘This won’t do…’

Actually, it wasn’t just about an image change that made Leffrey want to be a Senior Angel.

‘I’m not doing this just for that.’

Then why? Why does Leffrey want to become a senior who guides these juniors?

‘Of course, it’s because of the money and power that comes with connections…’

Leffrey quickly shook his head.

‘It’s not because of that. Absolutely not.’

No matter what, an angel wouldn’t just act for mere money and power. Of course, Leffrey had a separate noble purpose.

‘In the future I knew, Helki, the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings, entered the Central Superhuman Academy as a first-year.’

No one would have imagined it.

Helki, the demon king’s second-in-command and his most loyal subordinate. To think that he would personally infiltrate the Central Superhuman Academy as a first-year.

It meant that Helki could ignore the Central Academy’s violet barrier, considered to be one of the strongest barriers, and could even fight against the professors on their home ground without being at a disadvantage.

A monster beyond imagination.

That was Helki.

Then why would Helki infiltrate the Central Superhuman Academy with such a troublesome method? To steal information from the Central Superhuman Academy? Or to place a secret curse on the professors?

‘No, that’s not it. The reason why Helki entered as a first-year was…’

The reason? It’s simple.

Helki wanted to make friends. And his scale was so grand that he wanted to make the entire first-year class his friends.

Friends to play the world destruction game with him.

The Central Superhuman Academy, a place built to train heroes to protect civilization from the demon king. The destruction of civilization began from there.

Mariana Camp was destroyed from the outside, and the entire first-year class of the Central Superhuman Academy was corrupted from the inside…

That’s how the world fell apart.

‘Of course, with how much the past has changed, it probably won’t unfold in the same way as the future I knew.’

Would Helki be here?

If he is, then who is he?

To find out, Leffrey had to become a senior who could influence the new students.

Of course, for now, he was just a senior who couldn’t even stop his juniors from fighting.

As the two powerful beings that had been vying for Leffrey’s attention were gone, a few of the examinees who were waiting for the next test approached him.

“Thank you so much for earlier.”

“Senior, if you hadn’t shone your light on us, we would have died there. Truly…”

The first to approach was the group of children he had rescued. Leffrey, like a true senior, coolly said that he had only done what a senior should do.

“Ara, I just did what I had to do.”

“But still, thank you so much.”

They would never forget that light. Just like how Klein couldn’t forget the warmth of that hand that had reached out to him.

And one day, they too would become people who shine a light on others. That’s how, even in this dark world, the karma of the world changed little by little.

However, Leffrey didn’t understand such things yet.

The next group to approach Leffrey,

Were examinees with dubious intentions.

First, there were the female examinees staring at him with strange eyes. Second, there were elites, sent by the heads of large factions, who were desperate to be absolved and avoid going to hell.

And lastly, there were those with impure intentions, trying to use Leffrey to pass the exam after witnessing him move Klein.

“Ara ara…?”

Leffrey subtly wiped away the sweat that was about to trickle down, and looked at his future juniors with a nonchalant relaxed demeanor, pretending not to be nervous.

“Wow, I didn’t know a person could look like this. Really pretty.”

“Look at how white his skin is.”

“Look at how scared he is. It’s crazy cute, really.”

The hands of the female examinees stealthily reached out to touch him.

“Ara… Ara ara…!”

Leffrey barely managed to maintain his composure and took a step back.

“Pleasure to meet you. My name is Kim Joo-cheon from the Ojin Guild.”

“Hello, Senior Leffrey. I’m Joo So-yu from the Pyongyang Joo family…”

Young superhumans, greeting with military precision. If someone greets you, It was a superhuman, no, a human’s law to return a greeting when offered.

“Y-Yeah. Hi? I’m Leffrey, a second-year.”

“I’ll get straight to the point. Would it be possible for you to meet with our patriarch? If you accept our patriarch’s request, we’ll offer 20% of our family under you…”

“You’re insane, no business ethics at all… We’re offering 30%. Our Guildmaster has promised the next guild master position to whoever can bring you to him. If you come with us…”

“Money, power, men, women, doesn’t matter. We’ll give you anything. Please, just meet with our lord.”

The crazy PR pitches of these young superhumans. Leffrey was pushed to the brink of actually wetting himself from this madness.

“Ara ara ara…”

A girl in a baseball cap sneered at this sight. She was the girl known to some as the Wolf of Old Seoul.

“What’s this, the news was saying that this year’s Central Academy entrance exam was going to be especially tough. Was it all because of you? What’s your real identity?”

And lastly, there were the examinees who were trying to evoke Leffrey’s sympathy, lingering around him, making sounds like, ‘Ow, ow,’ ‘That hurts,’ ‘I really need to pass this exam… My mother’s hospital bills…’ and so on.

Truly, it was a chaotic mess.

And the professors and assistant teachers who should be managing this mess were all gone, busy preparing a new test.

A cat and a bird fighting in the sky, and chaos unfolding on the ground with Leffrey at its center.

Could the Senior Angel Project continue in this situation?

“These little shits are really.”

(TL Note: Fun fact, X is a swear word in Korea.)

At that moment, a familiar voice came from behind.

*Thwack*—*Thud*—*Thud*—

Rather than elegant, a rugged, but truly beautiful because of its ruggedness, sword path unfolded on both sides of Leffrey.

“Ugh!”

“Kyaa! Wh-What the!”

The examinees crowding around Leffrey began to scatter along with the unfolding trajectory of the sword.

Although they were all young, they were the world’s best superhumans, yet not a single one could fully follow that sword path.

“Wol.”

“Boy, you were about to get taken advantage of, you’re acting like a pushover again.”

“It’s not like that. I was trying to help the juniors as a senior…”

“Ah, senior? That’s not how you’re supposed to act as a senior.”

Hiss—Hongwol hissed, her anger clear. And only then did Leffrey notice Mini-Hongwol, Sowol, crushed beneath Hongwol’s feet.

“Meow…”

“Wh-What are you doing, Wol, that’s your younger sister!”

As Leffrey hurriedly tries to move Hongwol’s leg, Sowol stealthily tried to get up. And Hongwol, without a word, stepped on Sowol again.

“Meeeooow…”

That sight was like…

‘Honestly, I shouldn’t think like this, but it looks like something I’ve seen in cat videos.’

…Leffrey closed his eyes and reflected on his thoughts, then pulled Hongwol towards him, freeing Sowol.

“So, what’s the problem with you insignificant lot? What’s the problem that makes you have the fucking guts to touch what’s mine?”

“I-Insignificant Lot?”

The examinees took a stance at Hongwol’s words. However, Hongwol just bares her fangs and laughs ferociously.

“You’re so cool, Eonni-nim…!”

Next to her, Sowol was watching Hongwol with sparkling eyes.

“Hey, you dare to glare at a senior?”

A true senior, incomparable to that Senior Angel wannabe. Hongwol threatens the examinees with a deeply lowered voice. Finally, the examinees start to back away a few steps.

But some…

…just had to learn their lesson the hard way.

“A mere thief…”

“Meow?”

With those words, a few examinees jumped at her. Although they were young, they were warriors with skills comparable to first- and second-years students of the Central Academy. Elites who had been sent to retrieve Leffrey.

But Hongwol was a hero.

A hero chosen by an angel, a being with the will of Heaven in their soul.

It meant that Hongwol was no longer on the same level as a mere student.

“Alright, then the third test is…”

Hongwol effortlessly deflected their attacks and said while stretching her legs.

Then, Hongwol suddenly lowered her body, until it was almost touching the ground, her hips thrust high in the air. Leffrey knew all too well what that stance meant.

“Let’s do it Professor Lusa’s style!”

“Wait, Wol!”

And so, the ‘Happy Fun Beating Time’ began.

Thirty minutes later…

“Hey, you there, can’t you even hold your arms up properly?”

Sniff- Sniff- The children, holding large rocks, raised their hands high in the air. A few others were holding a plank position, using just a single finger.

“Tsk, your posture is slacking. Does your senior’s words not sound like words? Want another round?”

Hiss—As soon as Hongwol’s voice was heard, the examinees immediately corrected their posture. And she continued in a light tone.

“Boy, did you see that? This is how you act as a senior.”

Leffrey, at a loss for words, could only shake his head.

“No, that’s not the kind of senior I was hoping for… I wanted to be more cool and reliable and ara-ara-ing… anyway, that kind of…”

The Senior Angel Project was becoming more problematic as it went on.

“…What kind of situation is this?”

And then a cold voice was heard.

Finally, Klein, the professor in charge of this exam, returned to the examinee waiting room after preparing the last test.
