At my call, a figure appeared behind the kids surrounding me.

    Like a ghost, he emerged without anyone but me noticing his presence.

    After spending the whole break grinding dungeons, I was so glad to have Sahin back.

    The leader of the tough girls, who instantly caught on when I glanced over her shoulder, snapped at me with a fierce expression.

    But soon, realizing the situation, a faint wrinkle appeared on his graceful brow.

    A chilly energy crept up from my feet.

    Something darted swiftly between me and the girls.

    As she began to turn to respond, Shin Sena—the leader—stiffened completely before she could turn her head all the way.

    They began to back away—slowly at first, then in full sprint.

    Grinding her teeth as she watched her friends already vanish into the distance, Shin Sena marched toward me—still leaning against the wall with my head bowed.

    It was impressive that even in this situation, she hadn’t forgotten her sense of duty.

    Thanks to Sahin, who assessed the situation and acted shrewdly, Shin Sena’s face turned perfectly pale.

    Or rather, it was about to fall.

    Like how the other two girls, aside from Shin Sena, had screamed and bolted earlier.

    Debris crumbled from the dent it left in the wall.

    Even in this “inso” world where teachers were practically nonexistent, things changed when a student was leaking magic everywhere and going on the offensive within the school.

    Behind Eun Bada, whose disheveled blue hair suggested he had run here with the teacher, appeared Ji Kanghan, walking expressionlessly.

    After glancing briefly at me, he stopped in front of Shin Sena and spoke with a rare stern expression that was usually hard to see on him.

    Whether she failed to notice Eun Bada’s hardened expression and voice, or simply assumed he would comfort her no matter what—perhaps because she truly was frightened.

    But even that was cut short by Ji Kanghan’s cold tone.

    The Hunter Management Bureau would definitely come to the school.

    “Se-na, go wait in the staff office.”

    And I turned alone toward the classroom.

    Once I got upstairs, the hallway was empty, with only faint sounds of classes continuing behind closed doors.

    Someone appeared alone during class hours.

    Their black hair shimmered with a blue tint in the sunlight.

    They stood quietly, gazing at the spot where Dana and the queen bees had been earlier.

    Tilting their head, they muttered:

    Dana had been slammed into the wall.

    Awakened individuals wouldn’t have easily noticed—unless they were someone like him, who could handle fire with expert precision.

    He ran his long finger over the ground where the unfamiliar fire’s residue could still be felt, and his eyes gleamed slightly with interest.

    Even in a world like this where class wasn’t taken too seriously…

    The mood turned sharply against her, with people slandering her character like it was second nature.
