Chapter Index

    ‘Song Xia…’

    Two days ago, the members of Aegis started hero activities together.

    Crimson Teeth carried out a terrorist attack on Baekbaekjeol.

    As a result of the terror, more villains joined them.

    This means that security in Seoul has become more chaotic.

    However, the members of Aigis are the top-ranked Theia freshmen.

    And Theia also matched us with an appropriate villain for that level.

    This time, the villain extermination activity was not that difficult.

    ‘Ha Ye-eun played an active part in this activity.’

    Ha Ye-eun, who had been in bad condition for a while, has recovered her condition.

    I think it’s thanks to this that the failing broadcast has become successful again.

    But on the other hand, Song Xia’s condition was strange.

    With a paler expression than usual.

    All day long, she was just staring at the idle screen of her smartphone.

    It’s as if I’m constantly waiting for someone’s reply.

    Still, I didn’t make any mistakes in my hero activities.

    It was strange that Song Xia, who had always been cold and cold, had changed so much.

    ‘If it’s because of Lee Jun-woo…’

    It was also questionable that Song Si-ah joined a minor club like the Crime League.

    I looked into it just in case.

    Lee Jun-woo was a member of that club.

    And when An Yu-min learned that fact, he became anxious.

    I decided to give up my feelings for Lee Jun-woo.

    Because of his own misunderstanding and ridiculous jealousy.

    The relationship between the two has ended.

    But it wasn’t easy.

    I didn’t like other women hanging around Lee Jun-woo.

    Especially acquaintances like Song Si-ah and Ha Ye-eun.

    Just imagining that scene made me so jealous that I felt like I was going out of my mind.

    Even Ha Ye-eun’s broadcast did well again.

    I even wondered if Lee Jun-woo was helping Ha Ye-eun again.

    Ha Ye-eun manipulated Lee Jun-woo to the point of extreme.

    It’s probably not possible.

    ‘I don’t like it… It’s painful… It’s painful…’

    If that were the case, it would have been difficult for An Yu-min to bear it.

    It was different from previous jealousy.

    All three agreed to Lee Jun-woo’s expulsion.

    However, the person who directly caused the panic was An Yu-min.

    Even if there is a possibility that the two people from Aegis can somehow make contact with Lee Jun-woo again.

    An Yu-min wasn’t even allowed to get close to Lee Jun-woo.

    Lee Jun-woo has clearly drawn a line because of what happened in the past.

    ‘It’s a crime I committed. So I have to handle it.’

    Even if I become a complete stranger with all ties cut off.

    Lee Jun-woo’s trauma should no longer be stimulated.

    ‘I’ll never be able to go back to the way I was before.’

    An Yu-min was suffocated every day by that feeling of despair.

    Before starting Aegis.

    I remembered the times when I used to hang out with Lee Jun-woo at high school.

    Although he was always ticking.

    Lee Jun-woo accepted all of her complaints without saying a word of displeasure.

    She was raised by a single mother without a father or siblings.

    I was always hungry for affection, but I pretended to be strong.

    And Lee Jun-woo was the first to fill that lack of affection.

    Although I have never expressed those feelings directly.

    I enjoyed spending time alone with him.

    But we also normally go to the convenience store together.

    Sitting on a bench together and having daily conversations.

    He also received encouragement from Lee Jun-woo for his absurd goal of wanting to surpass senior Jo Ah-rin.

    This was no longer possible in the future.

    – no. Are you giving up already? Lee Jun-woo is not such a cold-hearted person. You know, right?

    But to that voice in my heart.

    I couldn’t help but feel inadvertently shaken.

    Lee Jun-woo, whom she liked, was kind.

    Even though I cursed like that.

    I didn’t know if he would forgive her.

    If only to receive forgiveness.

    I could do anything.

    ‘no. I don’t even ask for forgiveness. Just… at least not being a complete stranger…’

    I kept denying it because I didn’t want to suffer any more.

    Still, in response to Lee Jun-woo’s suggestion not long ago.

    An Yu-min continued to have hope.

    If you really hated her to death.

    He wouldn’t have recommended himself as a member of this leadership patrol mission.

    An Yu-min arrived at the temporary leadership meeting place.

    And that moment.

    I made eye contact with Lee Jun-woo, who had already arrived.

    ‘Even when they see me… they don’t feel offended.’

    Although he isn’t particularly friendly.

    Still, it didn’t feel like I was rejecting her.

    Just that fact alone.

    An Yu-min felt extremely happy.

    “Yumin Ahn. You’re here.”

    But that lasts only a moment.

    The red twintails came first.

    Student council president Jo Ah-rin spoke to her.

    Senior Jo Ah-rin.

    Even at Theia Academy, which is filled with countless talented people.

    The cadet who best deserves the nickname genius.

    I have a bit of a relationship with her.

    Since his days at Theia High School, An Yu-min was the senior he respected the most and the one he feared the most.

    And the person who recommended himself to Lee Jun-woo as a partner to replace Choi Hana.

    An Yu-min quickly calmed down.

    ‘okay. Today, you must complete any mission perfectly.’

    At least I couldn’t hear people say I was worse than Choi Hana.

    And you cannot miss your position as a cadet representative.

    If you get pushed to that position by Song Si or Ha Ye-eun.

    Like today’s mission.

    Because all points of contact with Lee Jun-woo will disappear.

    ‘And it’s in front of senior Jo Ah-rin. If you act clumsily here…’

    Although it has become much softer than when I was in high school.

    Senior Jo Ah-rin was famous for having a very scary personality.

    As a genius, he had strict standards for everyone, including himself.

    ‘Lee Jun-woo is watching too. ‘I need to focus more today.’

    Soon, Jo A-rin explained today’s mission.

    ***

    Saturday evening.

    Student council leading members and temporary members gathered in one place.

    An Yu-min was also here.

    Even after we left Aegis, we ran into each other often.

    Since then, today is the first time we are working together as a party.

    ‘Well, it’s actually a good situation.’

    This is a story quest in which An Yu-min officially participates.

    The fact that I, who was just an extra, became a temporary leader was proof of my growth.

    For a moment, the two people’s eyes met.

    “……”

    An embarrassed An Yu-min quickly averted his gaze.

    Of course, as I maintained absolute composure, I didn’t feel anything special towards her.

    In the future, you will become more and more involved in quests.

    ‘Still, An Yu-min has no idea that I’m a villain.’

    This means that something could happen where I hide my identity and help An Yu-min.

    Of course, there is no good intention whatsoever in that action.

    Only for my final purpose.

    ‘And Ahn Yu-min is a little different from Song Si-ana or Ha Ye-eun.’

    Song Sia becomes a marionette.

    Ha Ye-eun’s deterioration is progressing.

    But An Yu-min, even after a few meetings.

    No interactive events related to me occurred.

    Probably because he is the main character.

    Unlike those two, I didn’t even know what kind of mental defense mechanism there was.

    ‘Then let’s shake our hearts a little more.’

    Like Ha Ye-eun or Song Si-ah.

    Once I have a leash that I can control.

    It will be of greater help to me.

    ‘I swore quite a bit during Hell Week. I guess it would be okay to give him carrots this time.’

    I know very well how this mission will turn out.

    I even developed panic disorder because of her.

    Rather, if you help her in this mission.

    An Yu-min will feel even more confused.

    At that time, student council president Jo Ah-rin shouted to the gathered people.

    “Everyone probably knows about the villain invasion that took place during 1st grade Hell Week. So the Student Council decided to patrol the Ark system more frequently than before.”

    Everyone focused on those words.

    Twin tails caught with a short stature.

    And a cute female cadet riding on a witch’s broomstick.

    All of the cadets here knew Jo A-lin’s reputation.

    A fire mage called the greatest genius since the founding of Theia Academy.

    It wasn’t just that.

    If you’re from Theia High School, there’s no way you wouldn’t know Jo-Arin’s other nickname.

    ‘Rad dog Jo Arin.’

    It means crazy dog.

    Of course, it is not a nickname given in a good way.

    short height.

    And I come from an ordinary background with ordinary parents.

    So before you blossom that talent.

    Jo Ah-rin was bullied by her peers.

    Because of his introverted personality, he became a target for the bullies in his class.

    ‘Because he was a tsundere and even his tone of voice was harsh.’

    Of course, things took a turn after she discovered fire magic.

    From then on, Jo Ah-rin never tolerated the arguments that Yangachi brought up.

    Even the infamous cadets.

    He even defeated all the strong players of other academies with magic.

    ‘And then I ended up winning that grade.’

    The current second year students at Theia Academy are called the golden generation.

    That means there were many promising cadets from high school.

    Of course, since I was a hot-blooded kid, there were a lot of rough cadets.

    Jo A-rin had already completed ranking those cadets in high school.

    ‘My personality has become a bit softer now.’

    In fact, I heard that he has a very gentle personality towards people he is close to.

    Also, she was a terrible tsundere.

    They say it was a defense mechanism during the time of being bullied.

    Anyway, I was a cadet who had to be very careful.

    ‘Ahn Yu-min respects Jo A-rin very much.’

    Jo Ah-rin has been Ahn Yu-min’s role model since high school.

    So, he is more of a hero than any other original character.

    This means that the effect of the title Unknown is not applied.

    ‘The main stat must already be over 100. If it’s Jo A-rin.’

    My intelligence stat is only 23.

    And considering that fellow mage Song Xia is around 70.

    I had to completely hide my identity from Jo Ah-rin.

    ‘If they ever find out that I’m a villain. ‘Instant death.’

    However, Jo Ah-rin is a very important character in the story.

    In particular, he is the person who will become An Yu-min’s spiritual mentor.

    ‘It’s the perfect form of overcoming all the wanderings of high school.’

    The first quest of Chapter 2 begins now.

    The mindset An Yu-min must have as a hero in the future.

    Because it’s an important episode that we learn from Jo Ah-rin.

    And in that episode, an important story related to the archmage Letisane is revealed.

    ‘Letisane…’

    Even in the original work, he is a piece of cake.

    The game itself, Gray City of the Full Moon, was no different from a game about finding the traces he left behind.

    The first gate on Earth opened 30 years ago.

    And the mysterious wizard who ended the Dark Ages 20 years ago, when humanity was on the verge of extinction.

    ‘Letisane’s Ark is also a system he left behind.’

    He is also a genius who created advanced magic theories that even modern magic scholars cannot interpret.

    There is a reason why all villains covet his legacy.

    ‘The three amazing things he left behind. Even with just one of them, you can reach the peak of awakening.’

    Naturally, considering Unknown’s purpose, I also wanted his three sacred skills.

    However, it was an item that was impossible to obtain even in the original work.

    Of course, you have to follow the story perfectly to be able to find out at least a little bit about its identity.

    ‘On this mission. I have to gather the clues faster than An Yu-min.’

    Even if Ahn Yu-min, the original protagonist, obtains that information to some extent.

    Of course, I had the advantage as I had prior information.

    At that time, Jo A-rin’s entire explanation ended.

    “Then, the two people over there, please follow me. I’m very nervous because I’m going to patrol a restricted area on campus.”

    Jo Ah-rin came out and pointed out An Yu-min.

    ‘As expected, it will be the same party as the president.’

    Even though An Yu-min doesn’t know it, Jo A-rin has a very sensitive sense of touch.

    So I had to do something today to avoid my identity being discovered.

    ‘Luckily, at this point, I can deceive Jo Ah-rin in advance.’

    The leading members moved to their respective patrol areas.

    And I followed Jo A-rin and checked the items I had prepared.

    ***

    Jo A-rin was moving at the front of the party.

    Thanks to traveling on a broom, it’s not difficult at all.

    Her mind was busy.

    Because I was very worried about the two juniors who were following me.

    Especially male freshmen.

    Lee Jun-woo’s is much better.

    ‘If you think about your records in high school. His performance in the last Hell Week was beyond the pale.’

    In some cases, the awakened person’s skills grow rapidly through a special phenomenon called power awakening.

    There are many parts of the mechanism of power that are still unknown.

    Therefore, those who possessed powers beyond the normal concept were usually called irregulars.

    But Lee Jun-woo’s case was different.

    Jo Ah-rin under the authority of the student council president.

    I personally looked at the records of everything that happened during the last Hell Week.

    Lee Jun-woo even in front of the villain.

    He was very calm even in that unexpected situation.

    ‘Even though I’m just a new student at the academy.’

    Of course, this is possible if you are a cadet with very strong mental ability.

    Considering the recent events taking place due to Crimson Teeth.

    As the student council president, she had to assume the worst.

    ‘What if it’s a villain hiding his identity?’

    But I didn’t want to raise that suspicion.

    In fact, Jo Ah-rin was paying attention to Lee Jun-woo.

    This isn’t the first time, it’s been since my high school days.

    Lee Jun-woo doesn’t know that fact at all.

    ‘okay. First, let’s check it out in today’s mission. Then there will be no need for unnecessary doubts anymore.’

    Jo A-rin’s witch’s eyes.

    If you have eyes that see through the truth, you will be able to confirm it for sure.

    It was that time.

    “Senior. Senior, would you like to eat this too?”

    I turned my head at those words.

    And the moment I saw what Lee Jun-woo was holding out.

    Jo A-rin’s face turned bright red.

    That was when I was in high school.

    It was the same chocolate I had received from Lee Jun-woo.
