Meanwhile, the cadets of the hero class.

They also completed building a camping site by dungeon night.

Song Xia was silently watching the completed camping site.

‘Everyone’s movements are good.’

The Demonic Section is a high-level dungeon for active hunters to conquer.

That’s why it’s important to set up a camping site in a safe area at night and have a solid watch and guard duty in place.

In fact, even active hunters are not as good at it as hunters from lower guilds.

Most of the hero classes come from families that were apostles of Valhalla.

As such, these are cadets who have already spent a lot of money to receive tutoring from military hunters even in high school.

Even in the opinion of Song Xia, who was strict with others, the skills of the hero class cadets were not bad.

Even though she didn’t participate in it and just watched.

‘Survival for 10 days.’

There are so many talented people.

Moreover, since Yoon Geon-woo is there, the training will end successfully.

As expected, I was more concerned about the Hunter class than the Hero class.

Even if Lee Jun-woo is there, there are too many cadets there who are frankly substandard.

“As it is dungeon night, you must be tired. We have prepared the most comfortable barracks for you, so it would be a good idea to get some rest there.”

And then a female cadet wearing glasses with cold eyes approached Song Xia.

“Of course, you don’t have to go into the night watch.”

The female cadet’s name is Jeong Ji-yoon.

He was a cadet who served as an officer and secretary for True Opposition.

A rational and cool-headed personality in everything.

So, his personality matched well with Song Xia, a half-vampire.

“I will be on watch duty.”

“Are you sure?”

At those words, Jeong Ji-yoon looked at her with surprising eyes.

‘Because Yoon Geon-woo and Song Ji-min were not on watch. Was it worth it?’

Yoon Geon-woo, the strongest in the hero class and hunter class.

His power as a de facto leader was so overwhelming that he deserved special treatment.

It is natural that Song Ji-min, Song Yu-hwan’s nephew and the original leader, receives the same treatment as the family’s halo.

And, even though everyone in the class is uncomfortable with Song Xia.

Nevertheless, Song Yu-hwan’s biological daughter is Song Si-ah.

Of course, the only person who would be dissatisfied even if she received special treatment was Song Ji-min.

That’s why Jeong Ji-yoon looked at me with surprise.

“I understand. It’s like noblesse oblige. Since you are setting an example, the morale of the hero class will increase further. Then, I will also stand watch with you.”

Song Xia nodded quietly.

It is true that his father ordered him to show his qualities as the new leader of the hero class.

Song Xia was not interested in such matters.

The reason she keeps watch is because night is a comfortable time for her as a half-vampire.

Group training with too many people was uncomfortable.

He also knew that the members of the pure-blood group True Opposition viewed him with disdain.

And in such an uncomfortable atmosphere.

Just like always.

Just one person. He thought of the person who shared his warmth with him.

‘Lee Jun-woo… I miss you so much.’

Because of that heart that cannot be hidden.

I asked to intentionally assign a nightstand to the most ambiguous time slot.

In the deepest of nights, it’s good to quietly organize your thoughts.

A few hours later, Song Si-ah and Jeong Ji-yoon patrolled the area around the camp they had built.

“There’s still a lot of burnt smell.”

I looked around at Jeong Ji-yoon’s words.

It was very dark because it was a dungeon night with no lights.

Song Xia is a half-vampire, so her eyesight is bright at night.

‘It’s enormous.’

The area looked as if a huge dark cloud had struck the ground with lightning.

It was all scorched and black and a mess.

“It was a flashy skill, but. The 3rd power is different.”

So much so that even Song Xia muttered that.

Of course, the person who created this natural disaster was Yoon Geon-woo.

Actually, this area wasn’t even a safe zone.

Instead, it is a flat area that is good for camping at night.

So he destroyed all the monsters around him with a single skill.

‘Definitely a monster. There is no precedent for a first-year cadet to succeed in his third awakening.’

Yoon Geon-woo was the youngest 3rd Awakening, not only by cadet standards but also among all hunters and heroes.

In fact, due to his skills, he is the most anticipated prospect among the Apostles of Valhalla.

In order to manage the prospects, the finals of the competition were postponed indefinitely.

Geonwoo Yoon could not be compared in skill to the other cadets of Theia.

‘Father… he often talked about that bastard.’

And recently, there was something that made Song Xia even more uncomfortable.

Rumors were going around about her engagement to Yoon Geon-woo.

Of course, the Apostle of Valhalla.

The top executives were not happy with the news.

Any executive who had a daughter coveted Yoon Geon-woo.

Yoon Geon-woo’s father was also the highest-ranking executive at Sado, so Yoon Geon-woo was a man with a perfect background.

‘That has nothing to do with me.’

However, Song Si-ah was not interested in Yoon Geon-woo.

Rather, it was unpleasant.

For Song Si-ah, the only man was Lee Jun-woo.

So, Song Xia has been feeling pain every moment recently.

Although I desperately tried to get closer to Lee Jun-woo.

The more effort you make.

Lee Jun-woo felt like he was getting further and further away from him.

He already belongs to the Hunter class, which is extremely ostracized by the Hero class.

Lee Jun-woo because of his status.

No matter how my father brings me as an apostle to Valhalla.

In the end, he had no choice but to be used like a tool or compared to Yoon Geon-woo and ignored.

In short, the path was completely different from Song Xia.

‘It’s painful. What on earth should I do…’

Just that feeling.

I wanted to get his attention by selling my soul to the devil.

I no longer wanted to be lovers.

Even if we can just have normal everyday conversations like we did in Aegis.

It seemed to Song Xia that it felt greater than any other happiness.

It was that time.

Jeong Ji-yoon, who was walking side by side, spoke to her.

“Recently, there has been such a rumor in Sado. The news of your… engagement. The opponent is Yoon Geon-woo…”

Song Xia immediately looked at those words with a straight face.

“It’s nonsense! That will never happen.”

“Hmm. I see.”

And Jeong Ji-yoon and Song Si-ah’s eyes met.

To put it bluntly, the current Yoon Geon-woo is the person who best suits Song Si-ah.

But even though he extremely denied and hated those words.

Jeong Ji-yoon did not have a puzzled look in his eyes.

Rather, it was an atmosphere of understanding everything.

“Could it be because of Lee Jun-woo?”

And from Jeong Ji-yoon’s mouth, a name that I had never thought of came out.

“Uh… How did you do that?”

I regretted saying that.

Because he was so embarrassed, he inadvertently revealed that he liked someone to Jeong Ji-yoon, who was not even close to him at all.

But Jeong Ji-yoon doesn’t seem to be surprised by that fact.

“I see. It wouldn’t be strange for Lee Jun-woo.”

Jeong Ji-yoon, who was saying that, muttered.

Song Xia was even more surprised by that reaction.

Jeong Ji-yoon is a cadet with a brilliant mind.

It wasn’t for nothing that she was the secretary of True Opposition.

I could sense that even the cool-headed Jeong Ji-yoon was already showing interest in Lee Jun-woo.

Song Xia felt wary.

‘As expected… Lee Jun-woo is getting too much attention from women right now.’

Fortunately, I felt a little reassured by Jeong Ji-yoon’s next words.

“Interesting. How many days will the Hunter class with Lee Jun-woo survive? He is an excellent operator. Because he is a strong person whose personal skills have improved significantly.”

Fortunately, Jeong Ji-yoon’s interest did not seem to be in dating.

So Song Xia also relaxed her guard a little and continued speaking.

“Then how many days do you think the Hunter class can survive? I think so.”

“From what I heard, Hunter Class… I heard that Group 1, which Lee Jun-woo belongs to, was assigned to the same level of magic as us. If so…”

Song Sia also sympathized with the words that followed.

“No matter how much Lee Jun-woo is there, up to 5 days. Completing it will be difficult. It’s not Lee Jun-woo’s problem, but the cadets in the same class will catch up.”

As they said, the standard of the cadets working together was too low.

In the end, even if Lee Jun-woo is there, he will only be a groomsman for the hero class.

So the two continued talking.

And, Jeong Ji-yoon knew Lee Jun-woo better than Song Si-ah thought.

***

Late at night.

I was on alert.

There was a reason why I deliberately stayed awake late at night.

“It’s night so it’s dark. Since we built the base in a safe area, there won’t be an all-out attack. I think we need to be more alert to our surroundings during times like now when the demonic energy is at its strongest.”

As she said, she became a watchdog with me.

The demon energy is thick now.

And since it was a high-level dungeon called the Demonic Section, the demonic energy clearly contained chaotic attributes.

‘That’s why it’s better to focus on the sensations of your body.’

I got a feel for the 3rd awakening through a conversation with Choi Hana.

Now is the time to create the framework.

‘The world of mirrors. If I could create a space where all the initiative could be brought to me through my mirror…’

Two mirrors of light and darkness.

Using that power, you may be able to control the entire scope of initiative that that space dominates.

Due to the mirror’s property of reflection.

By using the mirror of darkness, the property of absorption has been added.

As much as reflection and absorption are free.

The kind of barrier created with that mirror will give me an overwhelming buff.

‘If you use the skill created by copying the previous power on the barrier created with the 3rd power…’

In short, it means that it is possible to super-amplify the skills that have been used so far.

And, if the opponent enters the range of the barrier.

By reflecting or absorbing the opponent’s power, you can even achieve a debuff effect.

It is possible to create a miniature version of the mirrored hotel created by Letisane.

However, the barrier is also a type of magic.

Usually, among excellent shamans or wizards, there are boundless masters.

‘And the most famous group for the Gyeolgyesa is the Yoho tribe.“

With that thought in mind, I inadvertently looked at her who was on guard duty with me.

“Why, why are you doing that! I wonder if there’s something on my face… and I’m asking for a favor…”

A sub-human who inadvertently revealed his fox ears because it was a dark night.

Jeong Woon-kyung, so Jeong So-so looked at me and blushed.

I had a lot to ask her.
