Quite some time has passed.

That was enough for something to go wrong.

Something began to ripple at several gates that had been silent until just now. It gave off an uneasy feeling, and it was the kind of thing that anyone would want to avoid.

It vibrates slowly and loudly.

‘The original was like this too.’

This part didn’t change much, so I was relieved.

Because things that weren’t in the original kept appearing, I was even suspicious that the believers of the Masin Church were just popping out for no reason.

Fortunately, that didn’t happen, and only then was I able to relax.

“Hoo.”

This is so fucking hard.

It was no joke, but my body felt heavy and difficult to move, and I felt like I was being forced to work. I don’t know why, but I guess I was just too tense. It felt like something was weighing me down.

“Huh? What’s wrong with that? Someone check it right now!”

“Oh, yes!”

The hunters in front saw the gate and ran straight to it.

Everyone seemed bewildered by the sudden change, and they seemed to have found an opportunity. It seemed that since there had been no change for a long time, they had some hope in that appearance.

“Huh? Seo Jin-ah! What do you think is going to happen right now?”

Seo Jae-hyuk left his seat after saying those words. It seemed like he was thinking of preparing in advance in case he needed help.

Hey, you’re offering help to an F-rank awakened person.

This guy is such a fucking idiot.

“Okay.”

I left a simple comment and stood up.

Obviously, if this is the same as the original, Yusera will come out of the gate as soon as that swaying thing ends.

If it doesn’t come out, then something must be going on inside, and if so, then I’ll need to help in some way.

‘What’s happening right now is something that happened before the regression.’

In short, the current Yuseo will continue to be in front of the gate. However, the fact that it does not come out right away cannot be explained unless something happened inside.

That’s why we need to be careful in advance.

‘Well, honestly, I don’t think that will happen.’

While I was thinking so lightly, something suddenly popped out at the gate.

With that the swaying at the gate stopped.

The sound of the wind can be heard quietly.

The hunters stepped forward to check what was going on again, and once they were sure they could all fit inside, they immediately donned their weapons.

Then, without any hesitation, everyone went right inside.

‘Hmm, which gate did Yuseo enter through?’

With that question in mind, I turned my head here and there to check.

“…I guess this situation will end now, right?”

Seo Jae-hyuk spoke with a trembling voice next to me. As expected from a guy, his words were still somewhat anxious and full of worry, and I ignored him without saying anything.

There’s no need to answer.

Before long, someone could be seen walking out of one of the gates.

It was a fact that I could tell who it was the moment I saw it.

“You, a ghost?”

Seo Jae-hyuk hesitated for a moment and then quickly ran toward the gate. It seemed like he was quite worried.

I couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight and got up to follow him.

“Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”

At those words, Yoo Seo, who had been expressionless, immediately smiled brightly.

“Yeah! I’m fine! I’m fine because Jaehyuk is so worried!”

It’s really worthless.

I feel like I can’t help but laugh out loud.

“Well, just in case…! I’ll call the people!”

There were quite a few people who went inside right after the gate opened, so there were quite a few people outside. That’s why Seo Jae-hyuk went somewhere a little further away.

It seemed like he was quite worried to that extent.

So naturally, the two of them remained as a will.

I looked at the guy’s expression for a moment. As always, as soon as Seo Jae-hyeok, who was like Yoo Seo, left, he just stood there with a cold, expressionless face.

As I looked at that sight, many thoughts came to my mind.

“Huh…? What are you doing?”

As I stare at him intently, Yusera suddenly reacts. He takes a step back from me and glares at me.

It’s as if he’s wary of something he’s seeing for the first time.

“What, did you ask?”

When I didn’t respond at all despite being spoken to, he tilted his head as if he didn’t understand what the will was about.

Even though she looked like that, I just kept thinking about her.

“What is it? Please say something.”

“… … .”

After I gathered my thoughts, I ended up chuckling. I made a creepy expression on my face as if I was looking at a will.

“…Is there really a problem?”

“No.”

I said what I had to say right away.

“What happened to you there?”

In the original.

Naturally, it was described as if nothing had happened and passed over it. Since Yuseo knew the future in advance, he just stayed still until the situation was over, and because of that, he said that even if he wanted to make something happen, he couldn’t. That’s why I also lightly passed over it when I read the novel.

In fact, it passed without any further discussion after that.

But that doesn’t mean I’m just going to let it go now.

Even if I’m a total idiot, there’s no way I could just let this go.

I have already encountered several settings and events that were different from the original work, or more precisely, that never appeared in the original work.

I’m talking about the events that have happened so far that have never been expressed even in a single line.

Are you asking me to believe this suspicious situation so easily?

This is so fucking annoying.

I feel certain.

The fact that something must have happened inside the gate called Yuseo.

“Not really. What do you think happened there?”

I was silent for a moment at those words.

How can I get Yusera to be honest with me?

I thought about that arrangement.

“Something happened inside me.”

“Yes?”

At my words, Yusera suddenly approached me. I was so surprised for a moment that I took a few steps back.

It seemed like that because it was something that had never happened before the regression.

She glared at me with a slightly surprised yet angry expression.

“What is that? Hurry up.”

Yusera urged me to explain quickly. I felt a little scared by her glaring gaze.

“If you explain first.”

“……Is that what you call talking?”

“Of course. If I tell you first, you’ll explain later, right? No. That’s why I’m asking you to explain right now.”

There’s an inexplicable air flowing between us. It’s heavy and stuffy somewhere, but I try my best not to show it. It’s over if it looks strange here for no reason.

This is like a fight for power now.

“Kids! I called someone!”

Time passed quickly, and Seo Jae-hyeok seemed to have been called by someone. He could hear the guy’s loud voice from far away. It was still a voice filled with worry.

“…Let’s talk later.”

“Okay.”

A female hunter runs in front of me. She’s probably from the assistant team.

As soon as the female hunter arrived, she immediately checked my body to see if there was anything wrong with it. She seemed to be examining me more thoroughly than I was, and she told me to go somewhere with her for a while before taking Yusera with her.

I didn’t do this?

‘What? Is this discrimination?’

It certainly looks that way.

For a moment, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Of course not, but I couldn’t help but think that way. I wondered if there was something wrong with my body.

‘But if you say that discrimination is right.’

Surely they thought that since I was an ordinary person and I would have just sat there and done nothing, there was no way I could have gotten hurt?

It’s such a possible idea that I find myself laughing out loud again.

“Seo-ra, are you okay?”

Seo Jae-hyuk muttered, still unable to control his anxious expression as if he had become a parent. That was so absurd that he answered in a slightly sarcastic tone.

“No, hey. Didn’t you see me earlier? He was so fucking fine. What are you so worried about?”

Every time I see it, I feel really frustrated.

That’s his problem.

“Well, I guess so. I guess I was just worried too much.”

“Yeah.”

I answered quietly with a blank expression.

Then I decided to leave for a while. Since I had nothing else to do anyway, I thought it would be better to just go to my personal dorm room.

“Huh? Where are you going?”

“My room.”

When Seo Jae-hyuk asked me from behind, I gave him a vague answer and walked away.

*

As soon as I got to my room, I went straight to bed and lay down.

Anyway, since there was such a big incident today, everyone will probably skip class. In fact, in the original work, they decided not to do it because it could have interfered with class.

In that quiet room, I sighed alone.

‘Isn’t this not right?’

Think about it.

I’ve been dragged into cases time and time again. I’ve never personally led a case, and I only remember getting screwed.

‘If this continues, we might not be able to change the ending.’

But what do you want me to do?

The original information I have is insufficient to lead to the incident itself.

Especially since I am an ordinary person with weak defenses.

‘I have to do something.’

I have to do what I can right now.

If not, you’ll get hurt again.

I slowly looked back at all the events that occurred in the original work.

I assumed that there would be some hidden information even in the most trivial of incidents.

‘Even if it seems like an incident that has nothing to do with the Masin cult, let’s think of it as something that the Masin cult did.’

That was all I could do in advance. Think about everything in connection with the Catholic Church and prepare for it.

There was nothing else I could do.

‘It’s still not enough.’

If there was any possibility of the force becoming stronger, then that would be another matter, but since I don’t even have that, I had to think of another way.

‘What should I do…….’

That was the moment.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

‘Who is it?’

Is that Seo Jae-hyuk?

Or did Yusera come looking for you?

The accident continued again, and I naturally stood up from my seat.

After walking a few steps, I reached the front door and opened it. There stood a familiar black-haired girl.

For a moment, I ended up frowning.

‘Yoo Soo-ho?’

It was the same appearance that Yoo Soo-ho had shown before. I could tell right away who that person was, because I didn’t think that Yoo Soo-ho had disguised himself as a real person.

That’s why I felt a moment of discomfort.

I kept my mouth shut and remained silent. Yoo Soo-ho, who was in front of me, also remained silent.

“What, you have nothing to say?”

Finally, the other side opened their mouth first.

“Why is it like that again?”

“Um, well. For the time being, I think it would be better if I just looked like this when I met you.”

No, why?

I couldn’t understand if it was true. I quickly calmed down the questions that had arisen and took a deep breath. Then I simply stepped aside to allow Yoo Soo-ho to come inside.

“Then.”

Yoo Soo-ho also noticed my intentions and came inside without hesitation. Without even looking at me, he went straight to the bed and sat down.

“So, why did you come?”

Yoo Soo-ho fell down on the bed. Then he answered in a somewhat playful voice.

“To check if any of our academy’s cadets are injured.”

This is fucking crazy.

Seriously, no other words came to mind. I knew that Yoo Soo-ho wasn’t the kind of person who would do something like that.

I felt like I was going to frown on my own. I couldn’t understand the situation in many ways.

“That can’t be true, right? Please answer properly.”

“Well, that’s true.”

Yoo Soo-ho stood up from his seat and looked straight at me. Then he smiled seductively and slowly opened his mouth.

“I was originally planning to come this weekend, but I think now is a better time.”

Yoo Soo-ho said in a light tone.

“Who are you?”

It wasn’t a particularly surprising question.
