As previously announced, Tuesday the 23rd is a match between the support departments.

On this day, the awakened students had free time in class. However, since there were joint training sessions in a row, the school sent everyone to the stadium to cheer for their same class this time.

Awakenings appear one by one in some parts of the large stadium where 100,000 people will gather.

“Oh, it’s so annoying.”

“Why do we have to watch oil people?”

“Support is just wearing a suit and having fun.”

“It won’t be much fun.”

The awakened ones complain, but attend anyway.

In this match, the performance of each other’s suits was important, but there was also a mission at stake.

There are many types of missions, including life-saving missions, bomb defuse missions, and treasure hunt missions.

How quickly they can solve the mission by exchanging information through their suits and communication with each other.

The next day is the traditional 1:1 tournament match.

Interest is greater in the latter, but teachers’ evaluations give more weight to the former.

However, for teenagers in their prime, a 1:1 match is more of a festival.

Ahn Dae-ho, an awakened person, sits on the seat with Kang Cheon-seong with an annoyed look on his face.

“There are usually 3 to 5 people per suit, right? Isn’t it better to have more people?”

“No. From what I see, there are many cases where the kids who didn’t even develop the suit just stick with the kids who did. There are a lot of support departments. In reality, 3 to 5 people are normal, like in our club.”

Kang Cheon-seong was browsing a gambling site on his cell phone. He glances at Lasia, who has a somewhat regretful expression.

“Anyway, I don’t know why I’m being asked to watch this useless event. All the joint training would be done by the awakened people anyway.”

“So that’s what I’m saying. I hope it ends quickly.”

“Daeho. But your words seem lackluster?”

“Chesh… .”

Ahn Dae-ho’s mood was low the whole time. Because we confirmed the relationship between the two yesterday.

When these dissatisfied gazes filled the air, the floor began to crack.

As the size of the playground is larger than that of most sports complexes, boundaries are drawn throughout the field and begin to be overlaid with holograms.

There are a total of four fields. Each group performs a mission at a randomly assigned location.

I was just watching the awakened people because they were right in front of me.

Below the field, the support department is checking each other’s equipment and putting the finishing touches on it.

It was a time when everyone thought it was a boring time before it started.

“Shinjeul! Fighting!”

An angry voice was heard breaking their boredom.

Anyone who mentioned Shin Jeul’s name was April.

Because we are lovers now.

The moment everyone’s eyes turned to the cheering seats in the stands, their mouths opened.

April was standing there.

But it’s not an ordinary outfit.

Her outfit, which is neither a school uniform nor a gym uniform, is none other than a cheerleader.

April, dressed in cool clothes, stood up proudly in the bright summer sunlight.

It was an eye-catching outfit consisting of a fluttering skirt, almost like a miniskirt, and a short tank top that covered only just below the chest.

“April?”

“Cheerleader?”

“What in the world is that?”

Everyone’s eyes are on April, who is now alone and dressed in a strange outfit.

Holding the yellow pom-pom that all cheerleaders know about in both hands, April was cheering for Shin Je-ul.

The color combination of the orange-red uniform and red shoes was truly overwhelming.

There, star-shaped earrings were swinging from her ears, making April’s blue eyes shine even brighter.

Dae-ho Ahn was astonished.

“You do something like that just because we’re dating? Fuck!”

I couldn’t help but tremble with jealousy.

Moreover, with April cheering for Shin Jeul to that extent, the Awakened and other support groups were now able to understand clearly.

“You’re dating.”

An action that drives a wedge into the relationship between two people that was only assumed.

But no one knew that April’s face was actually flushed.

“Shin Jeul, you pervert! It’s embarrassing!”

April was embarrassed now, but somehow continued to cheer.

***

The day before, the evening. April was about to leave school with Shin Jeul when she watched the support department doing the final inspection.

The team consisting of Seok Ju-hwan, Shin Je-ul, and Ahn Deok-hoon was seriously tinkering with the suit.

‘Hehe… everyone’s cool when they’re like this.’

Everyone, including her boyfriend, was seriously preparing for the practical evaluation that would take place tomorrow.

What stood out among them was an insect-like exoskeleton that could hardly be considered a suit.

“Boyfriend. Can I ask you something?”

“Say. Girlfriend.”

“What on earth is that strange suit that combines a rhinoceros beetle and a stag beetle? It looks difficult to walk with it on?”

“I can walk!”

But at this time, she encountered Seok Ju-hwan’s obsession pouring down like fire.

“It is large and massive, but when mounted, it has wheels and supports the wearer’s body with all its power. Same goes for other suits. You can think of it as an exoskeleton! Military exoskeletons also help with movement and carry equipment that humans cannot lift. Why does everyone say I can’t do it?”

“…”

April stared blankly at Seok Ju-hwan’s angry words for a moment.

“Well, that aside, what about those horns? Isn’t it usually necessary to reduce the area hit as much as possible?”

“Then it’s not an insect!”

Seok Joo-hwan’s crazy eyes. April quickly completed her judgment on Seok Ju-hwan.

“Yes. okay. It’s not my part-time job. He has a cute face but a scary personality.”

“ Please understand that Joohwan is sensitive in his specialty area. If not, it’s okay.”

Shin Jeul approaches with a smile. April shrugged as if it was no big deal.

“Because I work like this and am in the support department, I can’t even go on a date. I’ll at least cheer you on.”

Here, April was just saying hello.

It doesn’t really have any meaning, we just do it anyway since we are lovers.

But the problem is that Shin Jeul reacted to it.

“If I’m going to support you, I want to receive it warmly.”

“…Can I tell you to clear your throat?”

“There is that too… .”

Shin Je-ul holds April’s waist and leaves the practice room.

“I want to get that once.”

“What?”

“Cheerleader support.”

“…Huh?”

April made an expression of bewilderment. She lived in the United States until elementary school, so she knows a lot about cheerleaders.

Because that type of culture also belonged to the insider group.

We forgot about this because there was no culture like this in Korea.

But now, the word cheerleader has reached him.

Because of the existence of a boyfriend who is difficult to refuse.

“Are you kidding me? Cheerleader support? Do you want me to do it alone?”

“Just support me. But they asked me to wear a cheerleader outfit.”

Jeul Shin grabs April’s shoulders.

‘If you look at me like that… .’

It’s hard to refuse. April sighs with a bright red face.

“Well, it’s easy to get clothes… . But it would be very noticeable.”

“Others will be so jealous. Honestly, if you do that, I think you’ll have a lot of strength. The top covers only the chest and the skirt goes up to the thighs!”

“…Anyway, you’re a pervert. transformation. It was like that originally, but… .”

April sighed.

In the end, at her boyfriend’s request, she shamefully decided to cheer by wearing a cheerleader uniform, both top and bottom, short.

No matter how shameless she was, it was difficult to bear so many stares.

‘Just try not to be really good at it.’

April glared in her boyfriend’s direction.

***

Jeul Shin accurately caught April’s embarrassed face.

“It would be embarrassing to do so.”

“Jeulth. As expected, it’s amazing. Ask April for something like that.”

Ahn Deok-hoon inspects Shin Je-ul’s suit with respect(?) in his eyes.

“I am checking the drive and the strength support program is working well.”

“Joohwan. Please check the detector carefully.”

“Yes. Fighting everyone!”

Seok Ju-hwan once again showed his quiet and kind personality as soon as it was not related to insects.

Because I’m going to use that insect suit the next day, and I’m only going to fight with the regular suit today.

[Now, everyone, please complete the inspection and gather by the designated time.]

They complete the final inspection and move to their assigned area.

Shinjeul and its groups had the most comfortable mountain terrain.

“If it is mountainous terrain, will this be different depending on the skill level?”

Shin Jeul grinned.

[iced coffee! From now on, we will begin the support and practical evaluation. I repeat… .]

Soon, teachers were announcing the start of the actual game through speakers in the playground.

[In the assigned field, the support department understands the situation in the area and solves the puzzle. If you encounter each other in the same puzzle, the one who solves it first will be the one who solves it first. Additionally, holograms of monsters also appear, so you can join forces and overcome difficulties depending on the situation.]

There are various conditions and they are all unnecessary.

Shin Jeul had a confident face wearing this suit.

‘It’s different from Ultria, but anyway, do you think you’ll wear a suit and fight once or twice?’

When the long-awaited practical evaluation began, Shin Je-ul began to take the lead more than anyone else.

I went out first while others were watching slowly, not knowing what would happen.

“Shinjeul! Do you go first?”

And Min Seok-woo, whom I met the other day, is running as well, wearing a sleek silver suit.

“What are you looking at like an idiot? Just run and judge first.”

“Correct answer! Are you going to see what other people are doing? It can’t be done with such half-hearted feelings.”

As Min Seon-woo and Shin Je-ul lead the way up the mountain terrain, other auxiliary members contact them via communication.

-Confirmation of rescue signal in the bushes 50m in front of Jeulth.

-Seokwoo, it’s a distress signal, but seeing as the bushes around are a mess, there’s a chance it’s a monster.

Each person quickly infers the scene situation they see.

‘In this situation, the top priority is a battle of judgment over whether to exclude the threat or rescue the target.’

there is no answer. It’s a fight to see who each makes the best move.

However, unlike the Awakened, it is a battle over how much the hard-made suit stands out.

Shin Jeul was confident in that respect.

He quickly climbed up to 50m with his walking ability assisted by strengthening his muscles.

The sound of the iron footsteps of the suits echoes through the mountainous terrain.

There was a pile and a sign that sent a rescue signal under the bushes, and a monster could be seen behind it.

A low-level monster made from holograms. He looks like a goblin.

‘trap.’

Small and weak individuals form groups. In other words, it would be foolish to boldly attack the goblin from the front, but Shin Jeul ran right away.

“Hey, Shin Jeul. The trap is obvious.”

“It’s enough based on the suit’s abilities.”

Once you have the ability, there is no need to avoid traps and be careful.

Shinjeul stamped his foot in front of the goblin monster.

As the heavy kick shook the trap slightly, Shin Je-ul, who had figured out the location, kicked the monster hologram with his foot.

The machine falls down as the goblin’s face explodes.

About three goblins nearby jumped out, but Shinjeul instead jumped back and guided them.

The moment the goblins tried to chase after them, they fell into the trap they had made.

“If this happens, the rescue is complete.”

Shin Je-ul held up a dummy that sent a rescue signal.

[Clear Shinjeul Stage 1]

-Current leader

“Oh my god. Shin Jeul, why are you moving so fast?”

In the end, Min Seok-woo, who lost the puzzle, grumbles and withdraws.

This wasn’t the only thing. Simple fighting, and speed.

Shin Jeul had no hesitation.

Was it after going through all kinds of hardships? His acting ability was significantly different from others.

In the end, by the time lunch time approaches, Shin Jeul takes first place in points.

“Did you see it?”

He smiled at April who was waiting in the stands.
