The freshman welcome party has a strong social aspect.

This is because it is a traditional event where most students meet for the first time to relieve awkwardness and become friends.

The 122nd freshman welcome party was the same.

After the Vice President’s brief speech, there was time for a leisurely get-together.

In places like this, it is common for a cadet with a background to lead the conversation.

As they hear and receive a lot of information from their families and powers, they are a group that is keenly aware of and sensitive to world affairs.

The topics that are brought up and discussed tend to be diverse and nutritious.

“How’s your family? Didn’t that have any effect?”

“Don’t be ridiculous. I told you it wasn’t just a little bit? I thought there was a dungeon rampage at dawn and the mansion was turned upside down… Oh my.”

“Have you checked the Busan market situation? The quantity is pouring in like crazy.”

“Oh, that. I heard that some third-tier byproducts came out and it caused a fuss.”

“What about the families around there…I don’t think they’ll be able to sleep comfortably at night anymore.”

“But they say the pressure has been lifted, and the association is stationed there, so what… ”

But now the trend is different. Most of the stories being told are similar.

This is a disaster recognized by the association that can be said to have happened just the day before yesterday, with a little exaggeration.

What a disaster in an age of peace! If we had been careful, the peace would have been torn apart.

If things had gone badly, this could have been the beginning of a new period of chaos.

Both you and I had no choice but to go up and down roughly.

But the reason this topic came up in the banquet hall now was because of another factor.

“… Did you hear that? The workshop set up on the front line. ”

“… Yeah. The returned member showed me the video. ”

It is an incident of catastrophic proportions. Whether you like it or not, it is beneficial to obtain information. Information from the battlefield tends to spread.

Because of this, any attack or defense that was carried out on the front line of the rear defense line was also known.

A high wall that proudly blocks disaster.

Ability to expand and reinforce semi-automatically. Armored golems and commanders generated from the walls.

It’s similar to the battle that someone showed at last year’s birth ceremony, no, it’s almost the same.

“There is a spirit there that is so strong that it is suspicious… ”

Among the many spirit magicians who were active in the battlefield environment, there were spirits that were particularly powerful despite their rank, and many of them had the form of puppies.

“If you see that you’ve united with the golem, you can’t just gamble away.”

“Can’t other spirit masters do it too?”

“So hundreds are possible?”

The sight of the spirit melting into the golem was the final blow. There was only one superhuman who had ever shown such a talent.

Below rate.

A special admission student from the 121st class. In other words, he is the immediate senior of the 122nd class students gathered at the banquet hall.

“I thought about it from the moment I saw the birth video, but it was on a different level.”

Those who heard that information could not help but stick out their tongues.

Even though he is a student of the famous Siyoram School, the level of activity that Lee Ha-yool showed was beyond comprehension.

“Would it be a special admission for nothing? The Lord Top didn’t put him there for nothing.”

“The Lord of the Tower… I worship him.”

As Lee Ha-yul’s performance continued, the perspective and trust of the top growth leader unintentionally increased.

“But I haven’t met senior Lee Ha-yul in person yet.”

“I heard you’re only staying at the mansion for the purpose of recuperation. What’s that? You’re getting older again… ”

“What’s wrong with being difficult… or something in front… ”

Although there are many people who want to become friends with Lee Ha-yul, only a few of the 122nd class have actually met him in person.

This is because the rate is lower than the dormitory, and the residence is located in a central area.

A mansion where the former president is said to have resided. Located in the heart of the central district, it is a mysterious place that outsiders have no reason to approach.

“… … ”

“… … ”

The ongoing conversation was interrupted for a moment.

A mansion that outsiders have no reason to approach.

However, among the freshmen who attended the welcome party, it is said that there was a cadet who was seen freely coming and going from Lee Ha-yool’s mansion.

Those who rolled their eyes realized that they had reached the same conclusion and turned their gazes to one side.

“… … .”

Era, who was eating food in one corner of the banquet hall, felt her throat choked by the gazes that were gradually pouring down on her.

.

.

.

‘Hey, it’s especially flashy here.’

As soon as she entered the banquet hall, she opened her mouth without anyone knowing.

A golden chandelier hangs from the ceiling.

The tables spread out in the spacious interior are filled with delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and there are also artworks and decorations that look precious even to Daera’s poor aesthetic sense.

I have been surprised several times over the past few days by the facilities of the cradle, but I was surprised again by the facilities that were built with great care.

‘As expected, it’s the cradle.’

She didn’t feel that the academy facilities she had been attending since she was young were lacking, but compared to the city cradle, it felt dreary.

“Is that guy?”

“It seems right. But why the arm… ”

‘… … ‘

As I was looking around like that, I felt eyes on me in return.

Daera Celeste. I don’t know much about her, but she was already quite famous in the industry.

This is because the thunder seen on the battlefield where the disaster occurred was so powerful.

The power to not only not be pushed back by the demons who were on the same battlefield, but to actually be ahead of them.

Just one out-of-spec output was enough to spread rumors.

But then, Era came in as a new student at the cradle. The place she stayed was Lee Ha-yul’s mansion.

How could one not be interested? Along with the 122nd class valedictorian, she is the one receiving the most attention.

‘Uncomfortable…’

The attention was just uncomfortable for her. She didn’t enjoy being looked at or was used to it.

Just then, a delicious-looking piece of food came into view.

To satisfy my thirst, I picked up a piece of food called dae-era and put it in my mouth with a fork.

It was delicious. At that moment, the surrounding gazes briefly dimmed. Era savored the taste spreading in her mouth with her eyes shining.

‘… It’s not as good as the priest’s food.’

As I was savoring the taste, I found myself comparing it to the food I had eaten recently.

Era made a puzzled expression as she thoughtlessly competed for supremacy.

Why is the priest’s food so delicious?

Aren’t all the people who made this famous chefs? No, maybe the priests are just better cooks than the chefs…

“Oh my.”

Outside, it’s also a story of interest to me. Daeraga shook her head as she gulped down her drink.

‘The priest was truly an amazing person.’

It is a realization that I have come to realize again and again. Her priest, Lee Ha-yul, is not just great, he is truly a truly great person.

The first special admission student at Shiyoram.

A young cadet who suppressed the radio dungeon rampage that occurred in Shipnaha with minimal damage.

A Chinese nightmare that was resurrected as a commander, a punisher who single-handedly cut off the head of the two-headed dragon.

This time? This is one of the main contributors to preventing the disaster.

And the story that others don’t know.

Lee Ha-yul recognized the disaster called the back early and tried to solve it by going into it himself.

He is the one who saved Daera.

The more I recite them one by one, the less realistic they feel. Even these are things that I have accomplished in less than a year since I first realized them.

I couldn’t dare to find fault with the word feat.

‘… So maybe that’s why there are so many women?’

Isn’t there a saying that a hero who has accomplished great feats has many women by his side?

It is more common than you might think for powerful men to have multiple wives and concubines.

From that perspective, it wasn’t strange that Lee Ha-yool had many women.

“Um… That person too?”

“Don’t you know? Maybe not?”

“How many women are there… ”

‘No, I’m not kidding…’

But it’s a bit weird that I’m included among those women.

At the whispers in her ears, Da-era swallowed the lump in her throat.

“Hello?”

“Yes, yes?”

It was at that moment that someone approached Era, who was twitching the corners of her mouth.

It felt like the air around her was clearing up. When Daeraga blinked and turned her head, she saw Hasol, who had come up to her without her knowing.

Daera’s shoulders trembled.

“Do you need someone to talk to while you eat?”

“Talking buddy… Yes, it would be nice to have someone to talk to.”

“Thank goodness. I also need someone to talk to! My name is Ihasol. We’re in the same class, so please take care of each other from now on.”

“Ah, yeah… ”

Ihasol said with a faint smile. As you can’t spit on a smiling face, Daera felt awkward but couldn’t refuse the friendly request for conversation.

‘Lee Ha-sol.’

I’ve heard the name. It’s the name of the top student among the freshmen admitted in the 122nd class.

‘… If we really have to be picky, isn’t it this side rather than me?’

Rather than the title of top student in the admissions class, the image of Ha-sol Lee hanging out with Ha-yul Lee in the alley with a sorrowful atmosphere came to mind more strongly.

I instinctively lowered my gaze and scanned Ha-sol’s chest. It was huge. Something inside me made me feel uneasy.

Now, I am afraid of Lee Ha-yool’s power. Of course, considering his ability and appearance, it is understandable! But now, I am also afraid…

“Oh, that’s right. Daera-nim, how about a quick match of sparring after you finish eating to relax?”

“Is this a match?”

“Yes, there is a friendly match at the end of the freshman welcome party.”

Ihasol shrugged and pointed to the stage in the center of the banquet hall.

“Of course, we don’t fight on purpose. We just use martial arts as a means, and the purpose is to get along well and become friendly.”

Last year, Hong Yeon-hwa pushed forward against her opponent, Yusei Katsuki, and ended up beating him like a baseball.

“Dalian, Dalian… ”

Daera tilted her head.

Of course, I also tried sparring during my academy days.

But I don’t know right now.

The opponent behind the scenes was a monster. It had a similar size to a human, but in the end, it couldn’t think at a high level like a human.

In other words, Daera’s fighting skills unintentionally developed into a great battle.

I wasn’t confident in fighting people or in one-on-one combat.

Daera put down her empty glass and sipped another drink, lost in thought.

Is it because I’m thinking too hard? I feel a little dizzy. But it’s okay because I’m drinking something sweet…

“How about this?”

It was then. At the sight of Da-era’s worried expression, Ha-sol Lee raised one finger.

When Dae-ra tilted her head wondering what was going on, Ha-sol smiled faintly.

“A friendly match. Let’s adjust our strength so that neither of us gets hurt. I’ll compensate for what you just saw.”

Those with wind attribute ability often demonstrate their skills in sensing through wind manipulation.

“… Yes, I will. But I am not good at controlling my strength.”

“You can practice this time, right? But I have a question. What is your relationship with Harul?”

“ in?”

‘It seems like she’s a female priest.’

Within Daera, trust in Lee Ha-yool has fallen slightly.

***

The ground is slowly being covered in sunset. The sun is gradually setting.

‘It’s almost over.’

It’s almost the end of the freshman orientation.

Since I was near the banquet hall because of various preparations, I thought about going out to pick them up.

‘Even if Daerasajeo looks fine on the outside, I don’t know what’s inside.’

The time I’ve been forced to spend behind the scenes has been years. It’s enough time for my heart to rot and crumble.

In fact, at that time, Daerasajeo’s mind was quite unstable.

Every time I fell asleep, I had nightmares and groaned, and even when I was awake, I couldn’t feel at ease and showed symptoms of anxiety.

But maybe because I missed the warmth of people, I felt better when he held me in his arms.

That was the reason I didn’t resist the lady who hugged me.

‘I feel a lot better now that I’ve been reunited with my teacher… but it still doesn’t hurt to be careful.’

He nodded and walked towards the first banquet hall.

The first banquet hall we arrived at.

As I was coming out, I ran into Erasasajeo.

“Huh, huh? Oh, to the priest! Hello… ? Hiccup! Oh, my eyes are spinning… ”

But the tail is strange.

A swollen face. A somewhat restless and staggering demeanor and unfocused and shaky eyes.

As if drunk…

“… … ”

My lips were trembling too.
