Chapter Index

    On the way back, Shin Jeul was being laughed at by his friends.

    “Jeul Shin, have you seen the difference in this shack? The woman had a straight face!”

    The class leader laughed cheerfully, and Deok-Hoon Ahn also shook his head.

    “I was too hasty. You met me last time? It’s hard to feel good about it once you’ve had it. Besides, if you come all the way to this event, you’re a fanatic like us, right? What would you say if that nerd gave away his stuff?”

    Seok Ju-hwan also said something.

    “Actually, it was just noticeable even if I covered it with sunglasses. Since they are so pretty, they must have been through a lot of work like that, right? I think I was hasty.”

    “…That’s right. I overdid it a bit.”

    Shin Jeul was also reflecting.

    I definitely acted friendly too quickly. The problem is that Lasia is still projected within the school.

    ‘I thought I would quickly solve the sub-scenario.’

    Fortunately, the sub-scenario itself was not broken.

    “I’ll have to have a good talk next time we meet.”

    “Well, by the way, Jeul, you approach women more freely than you look.”

    The class president looked at him with an expression of surprise.

    “April, too, and the girl who made me cry last time is no joke, right?”

    “That’s right, it’s the first time that April approaches a man and talks to him like that.”

    To these people, Shin Je-ul seemed like a common neighborhood hangout. Because I had no hesitation in approaching April or other girls who were difficult to talk to at school.

    “Is that so amazing?”

    Shin Je-ul didn’t really care because it was a relationship that was created by forcefully rushing in, even if it was because of the sub-scenario.

    But what was quite surprising to others was that April had been known to keep her distance from men since first grade.

    “April was the one who laughed and shouted at Ahn Dae-ho, who was top-ranked and had a nice face, to keep approaching her!”

    When Deok-hoon Ahn said that, Je-ul Shin looked curious.

    ‘Because I don’t know what happened in first grade.’

    He has been in this world since he was in second grade, so he doesn’t know.

    Knowledge is injected, but it is only a large stream.

    They really don’t know the individual issues of each student.

    Anyway, they take the story a little further with the women.

    The class president adjusts his glasses and sighs.

    “Ah, I’m jealous. I also talked to April.”

    “You have a tough personality.”

    The class president shakes his head at Seok Ju-hwan’s words.

    “That’s the charm! But when you actually try it, even though it’s coercive, you’re good at it, so it’s even better.”

    “Jeul says he tries hard to talk to women. After all, I guess I should talk to him first, right?”

    “But it’s not that easy. Because everyone on the awakened side has high pride.”

    The two sighed and Shin Jeul suddenly looked up at the sky.

    It was already 8 o’clock and the sky was dark.

    If someone asks why he was looking at him, Shin Je-ul will answer ‘just’.

    It was a simple behavior, like looking at the sky while walking down the street and occasionally turning your head to look without any meaning.

    But this time was different.

    Because that meaningless act immediately captured the black darkness approaching them.

    “Guys. How can the clouds be that close?”

    “What are you talking about… . Huh?”

    Those who followed him and raised their heads also realized this. Strangely, the sky was close.

    Not even the sky. cloud. A black cloud that seemed assimilated into clear darkness was descending towards them.

    Shin Jeul reflexively shouted at the kids.

    “Run!”

    He ran with all his might, and the class president and Ahn Deok-hoon also ran, but Seok Ju-hwan fell while he was running.

    “Joohwan!”

    Shin Je-ul immediately turned around and raised Seok Ju-hwan, but the black cloud had already started forming a cloud as if it was reaching out to him.

    Before reaching it, Shin Je-ul pushed Seok Ju-hwan forward and he lay down on the floor.

    A tentacle-like cloud passes over it and stops.

    “Heo Eok… . Huh… .”

    Monster. It was difficult to distinguish the cloud-like body as if it were assimilating into the darkness.

    But Shin Jeul was feeling it.

    That the black cloud that has assimilated into the darkness is now targeting you.

    The passing hand moves and the straight cloud moves back towards me.

    Shin Jeul’s whole body froze. You can’t transform in front of other people, but death is a different story.

    ‘Rather than giving up your life!’

    It was time to prepare mentally, risking that Shin Je-ul’s identity would be discovered.

    Suddenly, he felt a cold chill next to his cheek.

    The cold suddenly turns into ice, freezing the clouds in an instant.

    “Rasia?”

    He instinctively looked for the owner of this ability, and Lasia, disguised, hurriedly ran to his side.

    “It’s dangerous! Stay back!”

    “Uh… . Yes!”

    Shin Jeul sweeps his chest and steps back.

    ‘Is it a regular monster? Unless it’s a giant monster… .’

    Even the awakened ones have a chance of victory.

    As chunks of ice broke before Shin Jeul’s eyes, the cumulus clouds began to rise rapidly.

    Soon, a black aura begins to radiate from a cloud mass about 4 meters wide.

    “That’s a monster!”

    Lasia prepared for an attack, but she was not the target.

    It’s Shinjeul.

    This is the timing when Shin Je-ul can’t even react and just blinks.

    Lasia’s ice barrier was created in front of him.

    Only when the ice barrier collapsed did Shin Je-ul realize that the monster had attacked him, and he got goosebumps.

    I can’t react or see. He was confident that he could see some movement while training with the awakened person, but this fight was on a different level.

    While Shin Je-ul was hurriedly backing away, Ahn Deok-hoon pulled his arm.

    “Do, do, do, run away!”

    While Shin Jeul was being pulled with trembling legs, the ice completely collapsed.

    Several tentacle-like clouds appeared from the clouds and poured towards the ground.

    Moisture is created in the cloud tentacles and begins to spray in the form of a laser.

    “Oh my god!”

    As Shin Je-ul ran away, he was astonished at the sight.

    The black clouds cut through the surroundings, and Lasia’s ice wall could not withstand them.

    “Ugh!”

    It was when the urgent expressions of Lasia and Shin Je-ul turned serious.

    Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and a ray of light pierced through the monster.

    “Who is that?”

    Seon Ha-yoon appeared before Shin Je-ul’s eyes.

    Intense etheric energy has been condensed in the legs.

    ‘Why are those two here in the first place?’

    I don’t know why.

    But thanks to that, I was able to escape safely.

    ‘Can you catch it? I don’t know how big of a monster it is.’

    “Joohwan, class president! First, go take shelter nearby! I’ll go too!”

    “Uh… . Oh!”

    Shin Jeul said he would send the two people first and follow them.

    Meanwhile, there was a flash of light and ice was seen covering the black mass of clouds in the sky.

    The battle was fast and chaotic, as if you were being chased by snow.

    However, the decisive scene was visible at a glance.

    The black cloud monster freezes in an instant, and Seon Hayoon’s kick actually jumps over 20 meters and pierces the monster.

    Both Shin Je-ul and Ahn Deok-hoon only confirmed the results. In a blink of an eye, Hayoon Seon broke through the monster.

    “Wow… .”

    “Jeulth. Did you just see it?”

    While both were amazed by its speed and destructive power, the cloud monster was completely shattered into pieces.

    “You caught it with just two people?”

    “That’s amazing.”

    It was a time when the two people were just admiring. At that time, we were a few degrees above where we caught the cloud monster.

    Black energy literally erupted from the sky.

    “….”

    “…”

    The moment Shin Je-ul and Ahn Deok-hoon raised their heads, they saw something they shouldn’t have seen.

    Just now, an unimaginably gigantic sky was moving above the 4m or so cloud monster.

    Giant cloud.

    Aren’t they expanding in all directions, increasing the volume by hundreds of meters?

    “Je, Jeulth. Is that really the main body?”

    “Does it come that way?”

    At first he comes like a regular monster and then grows?

    This is evidence that the enemy’s methods are evolving.

    [Alert! Alert! A giant monster appears! A giant monster appears!]

    Sirens blare and alarms emanate from all directions. Disaster text messages were sent to cell phones, and people were fleeing here and there.

    “Let’s go.”

    Shin Je-ul exchanged glances with Ahn Deok-hoon.

    ***

    Actually, I just wanted to say I’m sorry.

    Because I was sensitive and nervous, I impulsively said something I shouldn’t have said.

    Lasia only chased after Shin Jeul because she wanted to talk again.

    However, the sense of discomfort she felt when she looked up at the sky was clearly felt this time.

    As I was chasing after Shin Je-ul, black clouds slowly came down from the sky.

    ‘Monster?’

    Lasia realized that it was a monster. There is no example of a monster not appearing in the monster cloud in the first place.

    ‘Is it disguised as a cloud? ‘Use your head!’

    It disguises itself and attacks people while avoiding the awakened people who are initially preparing. Lasia looks towards Shin Jeul and his group, where the black cloud is targeting.

    Shin Jeul and his group were already running away eagerly.

    There, I saw Seok Ju-hwan fall.

    You might get caught for your abilities.

    I had to ignore that risk and save him now.

    However, the distance was ambiguous due to his ability, and in that split second, Shin Jeul moved.

    Wouldn’t it be better to send it to a friend first and end up in danger?

    ‘Sinjeul.’

    Lasia looked at the scene blankly for a moment and immediately stretched out her hand.

    Because now it’s a distance.

    When Shin Je-ul fell back safely, Lasia felt more relieved than ever.

    When Seon Hayun joins them, they attack the enemy without any more harshness.

    “Sister!”

    She froze the monster and Seon Hayoon jumped up and finished off the enemy.

    “As expected, your leaping ability is amazing!”

    “By the way, the young lady has also improved a lot. However, ice is one of the aspects of the young lady’s abilities, so we need to study it more.”

    “…”

    “Lady?”

    But Lasia wasn’t listening.

    You should be happy after killing the monster, but something strange happened in the sky.

    “Sister, up there!”

    Seon Hayun turns her head accordingly. And a black cloud was seen taking advantage of the darkness to expand enormously.

    “Oh my god.”

    Giant monster alarms sounded everywhere and they hurriedly retreated.

    “The volume would be hundreds of meters, right? Lady?”

    “That must be the main body, right? Are you trying to retaliate against us?”

    “There is a difference in size, and I hope it doesn’t turn out like a moth.”

    However, to put this joke to shame, a high-pressure laser-like stream of water fell from the sky to the ground.

    A size that was quantitatively and qualitatively different from the one shooting from that small cloud she first saw.

    It hit the ground in an instant and started rushing towards them.

    ‘Quick.’

    Lasia looked at it with pure coldness.

    Because there was no way to avoid it.

    Behind her, on both sides, four stems arrived in an instant.

    The moment each one reached the size of a building, it all began to collapse.

    An unavoidable attack.

    That’s why Lasia calmed down and pointed not at the stream of water, but at the sky where the stream was shooting.

    A stream of water shooting vertically from a body hundreds of meters long is definitely scary.

    But isn’t the attack itself too simple for that?

    The attack does not start from the entire cloud, but is poured out using tentacles.

    When Lasia realized the fact, the laser had already arrived right in front of them.

    “Lady!”

    Seon Hayun collects ether and tries to stop it somehow, and Lasia also fights back by erecting an ice barrier.

    However, when the water stream neutralized the defense, Lasia felt a sense of déjà vu, just like before.

    ‘Even then… .’

    It was the same at the event venue at that time. Because he appeared in a crisis situation.

    The moment a huge stream of water was about to blow them away, a shadow of darkness covered them.

    Seon Hayun didn’t know what was what, but Lasia did.

    “Jetman!”

    With her happy exclamation, all the life-threatening streams of water disappear before her eyes.

    Jetman, the entity that blocked the stream by emitting a huge force field, now stands tall in front of them.
