‘Kiyaang?’

The man in front of me was startled and screamed.

Judging by his short platinum hair and fox ears, he is of the fox tribe.

I already knew who it was.

It was Jeong Woon-kyung.

“Kiyaaa…”

I guess I was embarrassed by the scream I heard in a woman’s voice a little while ago.

I slowly changed my voice to sound like a man.

‘I already heard everything.’

Well, from her point of view, she is disguising herself as a man.

I pretended not to know and asked Jeong Woon-kyung.

“This is a middle class lodging. High class is over there.”

“Yes? yes okay. I misunderstood the road.”

Jeong Woon-kyung made an excuse and tried to leave.

But at that moment.

I stopped in my tracks as if I had something to say.

“Wait a minute. How did you know I was here?”

Jeong Woon-kyung carefully narrowed his eyes.

I felt eyes wary of me.

‘ah. That’s right. It might be a little strange.’

The Yoho people are very skilled at using magic.

In addition, Jeong Woon-kyung is from a famous Yoho tribe.

Since she is so meticulous, she must have hidden herself in the dark.

‘It’s darkness.’

So it was of no use to me.

My second power, the throne of the shadow mirror.

Like the name Shadow Mirror.

Anything hidden in the dark was clearly visible to my eyes.

‘I guess it’s because it’s a dark attribute spell.’

But there was no need to explain the reason.

“Just. I felt like I was popular so I came and found you there.”

“That can’t be possible! My magic skills were recognized even by my family! There’s no way an ordinary cadet would recognize my magic… no. If you are!”

At that moment, Jeong Woon-kyung looked at me again.

“First of all, we have to make a full statement. My name is Unkyung Jeong. I am the new operator of Aegis, succeeding you.”

“Really? Please take care of me.”

I held out my hand.

At that moment, Jeong Woon-kyung blushed and shook my hand.

But he quickly spoke to me again with wary eyes.

“I have a question. Junwoo Lee. Why did you hide your true skills at Aegis?”

“What do you mean? I can’t do that.”

“When I thought about it, it was strange. You knew how to deal with the Awoken. A person who does his job so perfectly as an operator. Doesn’t it make sense that your skills aren’t as good as the average person?”

It seemed like there was a complete misunderstanding.

Since they are the original characters, I only know how to take care of those three.

And it took up a lot of my time.

“Not long ago, I saw a replay of a very good fight against Song Sia during the placement evaluation. And I personally saw that he held on until the end in today’s training. Then you are…”

But Jeong Woon-kyung continued to doubt me.

“You deliberately hid your skills to boost Song Xia, right? If you are active too, Song Xia’s share will be reduced accordingly. Song Sia had already lost a lot of popularity to Ahn Yu-min and Ha Ye-eun.”

I said something so absurd that I couldn’t even answer for a moment.

“But if Song Xia looks good, her future as an awakened person is solid. So he must have deliberately played an incompetent person.”

“Bullshit. In that case, I would have stayed in Aigis.”

“No. You will have already achieved your goal.”

I couldn’t follow what he was saying at all.

What followed was even more absurd.

“You are already dating Song Xia, right? So there is no need to continue Aegis activities, right?”

“……”

It was so absurd that I just sighed.

“Don’t say nonsense.”

“I saw it a while ago. I saw you and Song Sia enjoying a secret meeting in the rest area of the student center. And it looks like Song Xia also joined the same club as you. That picky girl is in a shabby club like a crime club.”

If I knew that fact, I might have misunderstood it.

But whether there was such a misunderstanding or not was none of my business.

“Well, think whatever you want. Although I would never date Song Si-ah. Anyway, go back to your dorm.”

“Hehe. There’s no use in letting me off guard like that! I understand your ambition.”

It seems that Jeong Woon-kyung is the one with the greatest ambition.

I also have full thoughts of becoming a named villain.

It wasn’t necessarily wrong.

“And the level of detail and patience that completely hides your skills… I definitely want to learn that. If he had seduced that cold-hearted Song Xia, he would have achieved the greatest achievement as a man. From now on, you will be my rival! I will never lose!”

After saying that, Jeong Woon-kyung left.

In many ways, I don’t think I can follow that stream of consciousness.

Still, it was nice to see him burning his will like that.

Even if Ha Ye-eun breaks a hole at the party, I think she will somehow stitch it up.

‘Try hard. ‘I’ll take the reward.’

After seeing Jeong Woon-kyung walking away, I returned to my dorm.

It may not be easy, though.

I definitely had something to say to the middle class cadets.

“Want to listen to me for a moment?”

The middle class cadets all paid attention to me.

Tomorrow was the night of the full moon.

Song Xia, a half-vampire.

So the energy of the full moon was stimulating the power of the half song that she had.

‘cold…’

Although it was much run down compared to the mansion she usually lived in.

Still, the accommodation, which was prepared as a shelter in a national park, was not cold.

But Song Xia felt a chill.

Because of the only person that comes to mind.

‘Lee Jun-woo…’

High class and middle class train together.

So, separate accommodations are provided.

It is close enough to be easily walked.

In other words, it is not difficult to go see Lee Jun-woo.

‘I miss you.’

Rational thinking was already impossible.

However, I desperately suppressed the desire to suck blood and carefully surrendered myself to the darkness of the night.

Her body, melting into the darkness, soon turned into a blood-red crow.

‘I’m just coming to see your face.’

I carefully flew to my middle class accommodation.

The moment I sat on the tree looking out the window.

Song Xia heard a familiar voice.

It was Jeong Woon-kyung’s voice.

“You are already dating Song Xia, right? So there is no need to continue Aegis activities, right?”

“……”

And at the content of the conversation that followed, Song Xia’s body stiffened.

‘I’m dating Lee Jun-woo?’

Those words felt very sweet.

If only I could.

Of course I wanted to do that.

I don’t know the feeling called love yet.

If you date him.

I was able to redeem him as my own.

“Don’t say nonsense.”

But soon my heart sank.

Lee Jun-woo immediately denied that statement.

“I saw it a while ago. I saw you and Song Sia enjoying a secret meeting in the rest area of the student center. And it looks like Song Sia joined the same club as you.”

It seemed like that was exactly what Jeong Woon-kyung had seen.

“Well, think whatever you want. Although I would never date Song Si-ah. Anyway, go back to your dorm.”

And with those words that followed.

Song Xia was greatly shocked.

‘I… there’s no need to date me at all?’

I thought I had no feelings.

But at this moment, I knew for sure.

It felt like my heart was being torn apart.

‘No… that… that’s not possible!!’

That’s a complete denial.

It was a confirmation that Lee Jun-woo had no confidence in his heart.

At that moment, Song Xia returned to her original appearance.

I barely managed to hold my body up as it was about to fall.

The events of the day briefly flashed through my mind.

Song Xia constantly looked at those two people during today’s training.

Yumin Ahn and Junwoo Lee.

An Yu-min was looking at Lee Jun-woo with eyes full of regret.

It was as if she would talk to him right away if she got the slightest chance.

At least better than Song Xia.

It was clear that there was a higher possibility that An Yu-min would end up with Lee Jun-woo.

‘Can’t I…?’

And in Song Xia’s red eyes.

Tears flowed.

She didn’t even know how to cry properly.

The cold sensation of wetting my cheeks was very unfamiliar.

“Haa… Haa.. Haa…”

He just ran away from the spot.

And Song Xia, who was barely able to lean against a large tree nearby, as if she was about to fall, made a decision.

‘tomorrow. I will take Lee Jun-woo’s blood.’

I already refused the offer to hire me as an intern.

She couldn’t think of any way to seduce Lee Jun-woo.

Other than following the vampire’s instincts.

Tomorrow is the full moon.

As a half-vampire, she was also able to fully use the power of a vampire.

Although he showed an unexpected appearance in the class assignment evaluation.

I know Lee Jun-woo’s true skills.

The current Lee Jun-woo will never be able to avoid becoming one of his subordinates.

‘okay. Tomorrow I’ll definitely…’

When I returned to the dorms, the high class cadets were eating snacks.

Ha Ye-eun was seen eating snacks with a very happy expression.

Song Xia lay down on her bed without eating anything.

And, suffering from the desire to suck blood and chills, all I could think about was Lee Jun-woo all night long.

***

Choi Hana let out a rough breath.

“Haa…haa…”

The endless horde of monsters has now decreased slightly.

Day 2 of Hell Week.

Unlike yesterday, which was strength training, today is full-scale hunting training.

It is training to withstand the endless waves of monsters.

Although each of those monsters is not strong.

The problem is that the current training continued all day under siege.

“When you enter a dungeon, battles often last for days! Don’t freak out over this!”

The instructor shouted loudly.

Today’s instructor is Instructor Jeon Ho-jun of the Military History Department.

A typical warrior class A-level hunter.

Above all, he was a former apostle of Valhalla and a veteran who had gone through numerous battles.

So all the cadets forced themselves to get back up from falling.

If you pretend to be weak here, the instructor won’t even blink.

Choi Hana is another group dealing with the same monster from afar.

I saw high class cadets.

‘huh?’

And then a scream came from there.

“I can’t take it any longer!! My head… spinning around… my stomach… I’m so hungry… Quiet?!!”

A busty blonde nun.

Ha Ye-eun was seen fainting.

‘That’s strange. With Ha Ye-eun’s divine power, I could have endured more.’

Even though I don’t know Yumin An as well as I do.

Ha Ye-eun was always at the top of the high school’s practical evaluations.

Overwhelming divine power than any other cadet.

With that absolute amount, I passed all practical evaluations with ease.

‘I guess I can’t stand being hungry.’

It was already late afternoon.

Day 1, where we were given three relatively decent meals and snacks.

But today was completely different.

– Today’s actual training assumes that you are surrounded by a large group of monsters! Training to endure in extreme situations without any supplies or supplies! This is a training that will test your limits and will!

Those words were quite shocking even to the middle class cadets.

Simple armor provided during yesterday’s entrance ceremony. And his main weapon is everything.

Above all, no meal was provided today.

Awakened people basically have a high body metabolism.

So I quickly became hungry.

Even today, we were surrounded and fighting against a horde of monsters all day long.

Although it’s not to the point where I faint from hunger like Ha Ye-eun did.

Still, everyone’s morale and energy were inevitably low due to extreme hunger.

However, the current middle class was holding up better than the high class.

Considering that at the end of today’s training, there is a time attack between two groups of cadets.

‘It means I can win against An Yu-min as well.’

Although it was a middle class where defeat was confirmed from the beginning.

I was struggling more than I thought.

I felt that An Yu-min was conscious of the middle class.

The gaze was alternating between Choi Hana and Lee Junwoo.

It certainly seemed like An Yu-min wanted to say something to Lee Jun-woo.

It was that time.

“Junwoo Lee. Can I have a snack now?”

The moment when the monster attack stopped for a moment.

Middle class cadet.

Jaeho Lim asked Junwoo Lee.

The middle class is a training class, so there are cadets from various departments mixed together.

It is natural to mix classes for future party training and security dispatch.

However, due to the nature of the liberal arts department where cadets from various classes are mixed.

I was able to see many cadets from the same liberal arts department in the middle class, which was a training class.

‘Lim Jae-ho. The president of our class…’

He carefully asked Lee Jun-woo’s opinion first.

Choi Hana briefly remembered what happened last night.

Middle Class Group 1.

Lee Jun-woo, who gathered the fifteen people together, said something unexpected.

– You shouldn’t eat this snack now.

Everyone ate dinner.

Instructor Yong Hoon-cheol’s training was extremely difficult. Everyone was still hungry.

– What nonsense is that!

Naturally, cadets from other faculties immediately protested.

Choi Hana tried to calm them down after hearing those words.

Lee Jun-woo grabbed Choi Hana’s sleeve and stopped her.

– are you okay. Because I can persuade you.

Lee Jun-woo stepped in front of the cadets with calm eyes.
