Time has passed.

Several times the sun set and the moon rose.

Finally, the warm and cozy spring weather has passed, and it has become the height of summer with the bright sunshine shining down.

The second semester has arrived.

In other words, it was a slope.

It was so bad that I had to immediately stand up, clap my hands, and blow my elephant trumpet to praise myself.

Why… isn’t there a culture that celebrates the elderly who safely survived to the age of 70, called the 70th birthday party?

I was similar.

Around the time I had just entered the city yoram dormitory.

I stayed alone in the dormitory, scribbling down theories, and honestly, I was afraid that I would die before even getting through the second semester.

But I got over it.

I survived despite the passage of time.

…Of course, there were many twists and turns in the process, but I survived anyway.

And even now, his life is on the line… but that doesn’t mean he can die gracefully.

First, I praised myself for the accomplishments I had achieved.

The road to school for the first time in a month was full of cadets.

For reference, Seoyul was Hong Yeon-hwa’s attendant… Ariel took charge of her role.

Just like in the first semester, I left the dormitory and boarded the self-driving bus.

I am now used to the stares from people around me.

– Paan…

But that gaze was quite blatant.

It’s comparable to the beginning of the semester… no, I think it’s even worse than that.

I could understand.

There were quite a few accidents that I committed throughout my vacation.

First, the news spread that his genealogy had been edited because he was a blood relative of the Gyeophwa family.

Not only was it a blood relative, but there was also news that the unique ability, Gyeophwa, had been revealed.

There has been no news about the Beacon Sword yet.

During a regular banquet for the Gyeophwa family, I pulled it out and inadvertently dyed it with my own color, the beacon sword of the family founder.

There were quite a few people who witnessed the incident, but considering that the news has not yet spread, it seems that the silencing was successful.

I heard directly from Choi Ji-yeon that they are still discussing about the Bonghwa Sword and that they will report the results later.

That would be complicated too.

This is a beacon sword wielded by the family’s founder.

It’s a family heirloom full of symbolic meaning, but I suddenly dyed it with my colors in front of an audience…

I was lucky that I wasn’t scolded right away.

‘anyway.’

Although the name was not changed to Hong Ha-yul, it must have been a hot topic as the special admission student had his own affiliation.

Of course, the news was quickly neutralized by the two-headed poisonous dragon that struck shortly afterwards.

But even that two-headed poisonous dragon had its head blown off by me.

Since I am involved in both of these big topics, it is natural for me to draw attention.

– Baaaan…

…But the emotions in that gaze were truly strange.

It was a truly lukewarm gaze, perhaps a negative emotion, such as admiration, pity, or jealousy.

I felt heat rising to my face, and I tugged on Hong Yeon-hwa’s sleeve.

Red eyes looked down at me.

“Please let me go…”

“No.”

A stern voice that cuts through demands with a single stroke.

Hong Yeon-hwa shook her head as if telling me not to dream and hugged me even deeper.

The second semester has passed, but there has been no return to form.

His hair was still white, and his body was as young as ever.

“No… why…”

“I’m asking because I don’t know, Hayul?”

Poke… Elia, who went to school with me, poked my cheek.

Elia’s yellow eyes asked silently, as if she genuinely didn’t know.

He slightly turned his head as if to avoid eye contact.

Was it two days ago?

Because he collapsed and vomited blood all over his body, he was almost refused entry to school for reasons of stability.

It was even more so because my professor, Professor Liana, and my teacher witnessed the scene.

After much persuasion from those around me that it was okay now, I was able to go to school, but this is what I looked like.

It was like dealing with a child who was a troublemaker.

The stares coming from people around me became even more strange.

‘This morning…’

I couldn’t bear to raise my head.

.

.

.

It was only after entering the Ipchun room that I barely regained half of my freedom.

Hong Yeon-hwa tried to hug me again on the basis that I would not be able to see even if I sat on the chair due to my size, but she fought me off by saying that she could cover me by making the sky’s wing feathers like cushions.

Hong Yeon-hwa sat next to me with regret.

The seats were at the very back, the same as in the first semester.

It was originally the last seat attached to the window, but that spot was taken over by Elia.

“Ah, isn’t the ferry going too fast?”

Baek A-rin, also in the same spring class, arrived a few minutes later.

She looked at Hong Yeon-hwa and Elia sitting on either side of me and clicked her tongue in disappointment.

“You originally sat in the front seat. Why do you come here?”

“It’s been like this for a while, but now again? More than that, Elia was the one who originally sat in front, so why are you doing this to me? This is discrimination!”

Baek A-rin grumbled and sat down next to Hong Yeon-hwa.

Although it was new, the waves of magic I could feel were very complex.

On the left, a warm bright yellow color was shining, and on the right, bright red flames and cold ice and water were shaking.

It was comfortable, if comfortable, and it was also a crazy wave.

After a while, the front door opened and Professor Liana, in charge of the spring class, came in.

“It seems like only yesterday that I met you, cadets, but it’s already the second semester… I feel like time flies!”

Professor Liana, standing in front of the teacher’s table, smiled brightly and began the assembly.

“Attendance will be skipped as no one was late, so we will notify you right away.”

The cadets all listened to Professor Liana’s words.

This may have been a notice already received in advance, but there may be changes.

“Starting today, the non-free semester ends, and the official semester begins where cadets can choose and attend lectures!”

Poetry Yoram’s first semester is characterized as a taster.

In the first semester, you can experience various subjects as determined by your bachelor’s degree, and then apply for the course you want in the second semester.

Maybe that’s why the second semester is longer than the first semester.

“This week is the course registration period, and most lectures will only be orientation and basic explanations! You may have gotten a taste of everything in the first semester, but the second semester could be different, right? Let’s choose carefully and have a smooth second semester!”

What is unique about Poetry Yoram is that students register for classes at the beginning of the second semester rather than during vacation.

It may seem like it’s progressing in a haphazard manner up to this point, but seeing as there haven’t been any problems so far, it seems to be going well.

“I think there are many cadets who have been waiting for the second semester! In the second semester, lecture times are generally shorter. Of course, there will be additional activities such as clubs, so it will be similar, but it will be better than complicated and messy lectures, right?”

A club will also start in the second semester.

To be exact, this is the time when new students in this class join the club for the first time.

Clubs are diverse.

There are clubs for improving skills such as swordsmanship, spearmanship, and archery, as well as academic clubs such as monster strategy, dungeon statistics, and erosion analysis.

There are also many clubs for hobbies such as baseball, soccer, table tennis, gardening, reading, and watching movies and music.

In the first place, hobbies were the main purpose of the poetry club.

Most clubs are just a system to relieve the fatigue of cadets who are already full of stress.

Therefore, there will be many cadets who waited for the second semester.

Clubs also have the function of forming personal connections.

His potential was proven the moment he entered City Cradle. Even if you just graduate safely, you are already a cadet who can be considered a top-class human resource.

There is nothing wrong with forming relationships with those people. You can also recruit cadets with no background and bring them into the group.

Through this kind of kite, cadets with no background can find a group to which they can put their name.

“Okay, and here’s the final notice!”

Professor Liana clapped her hands for emphasis.

The cadets also adjusted their posture and sat down.

“There is a traditional schedule for poetry cradle in the second semester. It is a mentoring system where seniors and juniors coach each other and raise their potential together!”

Mentoring.

In some ways, it was also the most important schedule of this second semester.

“The mentoring system is conducted between first and second year students, and each student can nominate a target! Of course, you can refuse!”

Mentoring was also the system I was waiting for.

Jiyeon Lee, who had a lot to say about Seoyul, is a sophomore, so she plans to apply to be a mentor and meet her.

“Likewise, this week is application week! From registering for lectures to applying for mentors… wow, this week must be so busy!”

Several cadets nodded in agreement as Professor Liana sighed and joked.

As I said, this week is going to be very busy.

Registering for classes, applying for mentors… Cadets who care about clubs should also take care of clubs.

The first week of the second semester, which was supposed to be quite time-consuming, was paradoxically busier than the first semester.

.

.

.

I haven’t finished registering for all the classes yet, so my morning was empty.

Thanks to this, I am separated from other people.

Scarlet Lotus, Elia… I was worried about what would happen if they all suddenly passed out like it was yesterday, but they managed to escape.

I’m sorry, but I also have a lot of work to do from now on.

To be more specific, I plan to try to find a way to restore this body.

– Tiring!

Then, he sent a text message to his smartwatch.

I nodded at the notification that it had been successfully transmitted and turned off the hologram.

Without delay, I applied to be a mentor to Jiyeon Lee. Sending something early will be more noticeable than sending it late.

‘It would be nice…’

Suddenly I felt worried.

I’ve built a small kite in China before… but it’s unclear whether I’ll be asked to do it, so I want to build a more solid kite as a mentor.

But whether Jiyeon Lee would accept my application was a matter of another world.

If you are rejected… you have no choice but to find another way out.

– Tiring!

‘huh?’

I was about to take a deep breath and put up a list of classes I wanted to sign up for.

A hologram was printed along with the alarm.

[Unregistered contact information: Identification – Lee Ji-yeon]

▶Lee Ji-yeon: Junior Lee Ha-yul

▶Lee Ji-yeon: If you have time, can we meet?

I blinked.

This was Jiyeon Lee’s reply.

‘It’s been less than a minute since I sent it?’

Were you checking your text message at the moment? The reply is too quick for something like that.

I tilted my head and replied that I understood.

.

.

.

“Welcome, junior…”

[?]

The sight of Lee Ji-yeon at the cafe was shocking.

Tangled hair, panda-like shadows under the eyes, and a pale complexion like a patient who needs to be put to bed immediately.

Even at first glance, it was not a normal condition.

‘…what?’

Why is Lee Ji-yeon like this again?

I couldn’t understand the English text.
