‘what? I just went upstairs for a few hours… ‘

Still, it definitely felt different than a few hours ago.

Without realizing it, I avoided my gaze from Choi Hana.

For some reason, my face got hot when I saw her.

‘okay. The atmosphere is strange… ‘

My hair was slightly wet and shiny.

And I could feel the pleasant scent of body wash coming from her.

It’s like looking at someone who just got out of the shower.

Did Choi Hana notice my reaction?

He spoke hastily.

“Helping with the interior is a bigger project than I thought… My body sweated a lot! So, in the shower room with Jaguar’s older sisters… ”

So Hana Choi explained that she took a shower and came out.

When I thought about it, that wasn’t strange.

It is not easy to wear full tracking equipment and broadcast as a virtuber.

I heard that it is common for people to get sweaty quickly when dancing with very intense choreography.

“Ta, if you smell like sweat… It’s a nuisance to Junwoo!”

While explaining this, Hana Choi felt embarrassed.

The thought of her smelling like sweat made me feel weird again.

I pretended to be as calm as possible and sat down at the cafe table again.

“It’s not a nuisance… Anyway, you must be tired. Can you continue studying?”

“Well, I’m fine!”

Luckily, the broadcast time wasn’t that long, so he seemed to be in good condition.

I bowed my head for a moment and sipped the warm black tea that Choi Hana had served herself.

Rather, if you ask me, I was tired.

Although there was no direct battle against the dangerous villain, Ghoul Hound.

I used my skills quite a bit when dealing with the small children.

Also, using demonic power was more mentally tiring than using regular mana.

‘Well, that’s why things went well.’

Ghoul Hound accepted my offer.

Although it was closer to a threat than an offer.

I made a verbal agreement with him.

He decided to help Blood Jaguar with his work.

‘what. That’s enough to make you an ally.’

I promised him that I would make the battle more interesting.

Ghoul Hound is a battle fanatic.

And underworld content inevitably gets caught up in all kinds of battles.

Actually, it was a really good offer for him.

‘I too am a useful subordinate…’ No, I gained an ally.’

It is also beneficial to me because I have created a direct relationship with Crimson Teeth.

Choi Hana stood up for a moment.

“Noeul gets off work first today, so I’ll make you another drink!”

It seems that Choi Ha-na saw that the coffee I was drinking ran out.

While she went to the counter for a moment, my thoughts continued.

‘Having Hwang Yong-gyun on my side is a huge gain.’

It meant a lot.

– I was just wondering… As expected, Lee Jun-woo was you. Unknown.

And surprisingly, Hwang Yong-gyun recognized right away that I was Unknown.

If you think about it, it wasn’t a strange thing.

To have survived even after spending decades in the underworld.

This means that the senses directly related to death are sensitive.

Moreover, ever since we worked together on Lunar New Year’s Day, he seems to have been suspicious of my identity.

However, instead, he bowed politely towards me.

– Unknown, we confirmed that you have no hostility towards us. If there is anything you want, I will do whatever I can to help. Instead, our organization also needs your strength.

It means mutual aid.

‘Did Choi Ha-na also learn that kind of mindset from Hwang Yong-gyun?’

An eye for recognizing people.

And the attitude of offering a clear reward.

When Choi Hana proposed a party to me.

It seemed like suggesting extremely polite and reasonable conditions was possible because I learned that mindset from Hwang Yong-gyun.

And Hwang Yong-gyun seemed to be conscious of my relationship with Choi Hana.

– The boss… He is a good person. And he seemed interested in you.

Although he dismissed it with such simple words.

It seemed like he wanted to push the gap between the two.

‘is it… ‘

Choi Hana is back again.

The body wash scent spread again and I felt strange.

“Okay, then let’s finish studying.”

So, uncharacteristically, I stuttered a little.

“Yes… ? yes Oh, I understand!”

Choi Hana was also surprised and quickly answered.

***

So the two continued studying until dawn.

Although teaching others was more tiring than I thought, I too was tired.

This midterm exam had another meaning.

‘Once the midterm exams are over, the Seoul Academy Competition will be held.’

A competition that has nothing to do with grades.

However, it was also the main quest for the main character, An Yu-min.

So, I was thinking of joining An Yu-min’s team.

The competition is balanced for each tier.

Even in middle class, if your grades are good.

I was able to match up with a high-class upper tier like An Yu-min.

Of course, as for Choi Hana, it would be better for me to join that team.

The key to the midterm exam was not only dungeon raiding, but also the theory test.

‘Because theory grades are also reflected in the tier.’

So, I ran the study with quite a bit of force.

Before I knew it, it was four in the morning.

“I’m sorry… Just… Just 10 minutes… Kuul… ”

In the end, Choi Hana, who couldn’t stand it, fell asleep on the table.

Although I was a little sleepy too.

Still, I was able to endure it thanks to my high mental strength.

‘Because I decided to study until the first hour of the subway. little bit more… ‘

So, I also accessed TKA TV on my smartphone to catch some sleep.

I reflexively entered Naharing’s channel.

A replay of today’s broadcast and key clips remained on that channel.

‘It was a shame because I couldn’t watch the live broadcast today.’

Watching Naharing’s broadcasts has become a habit these days.

As I was checking the replay and clip, I was momentarily puzzled.

‘Why are the views so high?’

These days, Naharing’s broadcasts have been on the rise.

Still, the number of views was much higher than usual.

And the moment I saw the highlight clip of today’s broadcast.

I found out why.

‘what… Naharing today wasn’t a joke.’

Although I felt a strange sensuality during the usual Naharingdo full tracking broadcast.

The look in his eyes was completely different today.

It feels sensual.

In particular, when he put that index finger to his lips, the viewers’ reaction seemed to be no joke.

I slowly turned my head and looked at Choi Hana.

He must have really fallen asleep, as he was breathing quietly.

Choi Hana is usually quiet.

Looking at Choi Hana like this, it was hard to believe that she was the same person as Na Haring.

It was that time.

Touk-

Choi Hana’s hand touched her left hand, which was lowering it to the bottom of the table.

I guess my hand touched it accidentally while I was sleeping.

I couldn’t help but feel my heart pounding.

‘huh?’

But it wasn’t just that.

Choi Hana held my hand tightly.

‘I fell asleep… Isn’t it… ?’

Of course, it’s not like I can wake her up and ask her.

But for some reason, I didn’t want to let go of that hand.

For a moment, I was holding hands with Choi Hana.

***

A week has passed.

The midterm exam has begun.

But nothing was very difficult.

The first regular exam after admission.

I have always studied and trained in my spare time.

I successfully completed the theoretical lectures I was taking and the training evaluation of the Department of Liberal Studies.

Just a few days after the exam week, the key evaluation of the midterm exam arrived.

The dungeon practice evaluation is coming up in two days.

‘It’s dungeon training… ‘

Unusually, this evaluation was a test held in the city.

It’s not that surprising.

Dungeon gates are formed regardless of location.

It is so common that it occurs even in the city center of Seoul.

‘So this evaluation doesn’t go as usual either.’

There was a reason why dungeon training was the main quest in An Yu-min’s story.

For An Yu-min, this evaluation was important.

Thanks to me for creating Aegis.

The members of Aegis surpassed the top cadets and recorded the highest grades in high school.

Of course, other than those three, there were top cadets in Theia.

‘Especially those apostles of Valhalla and those excellent scholarship students.’

In the original work, it was True Apothecles that formed the main rivalry with An Yu-min’s party.

Of course, An Yu-min’s colleague Song Si-ah was the guild leader’s daughter.

Surprisingly, Song Xia’s position was delicate.

‘In terms of succession order, it’s not that high.’

Rather, because she had vampire blood mixed in, Song Xia was ignored by the Apothecles.

Just like Lim Jae-ho’s father was a werewolf, so he couldn’t become an executive.

The apostle of Valhalla has a very strong belief in human purebloods.

In particular, there is a cousin of Song Xia in Apostles.

A female cadet who has a fierce rivalry with Song Xia.

So, even in the competition after the midterm exams, I am heavily involved with the Apostles.

Of course, if it had been before, I wouldn’t have cared whether the three of Aigis were eaten by the Apostles or not.

‘It’s a different story now.’

A new relationship was created with the three people.

That too is very beneficial to me.

An Yu-min is the key to opening the Mirror Hotel and the daughter of Letisane.

The more Ha Ye-eun corrupted the nun, the more she was able to acquire special 4-star powers that were not easy to obtain.

And through Songsia, you can obtain demonic power, a very special power.

‘Its performance was properly confirmed against Ghoul Hound.’

This means that you can now actively participate in the three quests.

In that case, there was no longer a need to stick to the class called Paladin.

Rather, it would be helpful to focus on the wizard class in order to properly use the new main skill, Flame, and demonic power.

So before taking the dungeon evaluation.

I am a membership-based luxury weapons store. I was thinking of stopping by Lane Weapons and purchasing a new weapon.

“Lee Jun-woo… ?”

But I met an unexpected person there.

Song Si-ah recognized me first and approached me.
