The dry ground was submerged in water.

The waves crashed relentlessly, causing the water to jump. A huge glacier was swept away by the waves and torn apart.

I was fine in between.

There was also a sea behind me that I had personally caused. The seas with different owners collided in the center and pushed and pulled for dominance.

-Oh, you’re a womanizer…

In the midst of such natural disasters, a playful cry pierced my heart. Not even the power of Ganggi, Suho, or space could stop it.

A slightly sad expression appeared on my face as I laid my head on the floor.

-It’s unfair.

“Unfair? What are you talking about?”

As soon as the sound was made, Baek A-rin, who was tuning the window from afar, made a blank expression. But I also had something to say.

-I’m practicing hard, why are you harassing me?

“It hasn’t been manifested yet, right? That? It doesn’t have any distinct characteristics like a fearful fire or a mountain.”

-yes

“That’s why! Why is Changhae in last place!”

Baek A-rin, who was shouting, lowered the window. Kwaaah! The sea rose up and a bigger wave swept in.

“This will definitely come up! Gyeophwarang and Taesan are unique, but why is Changhae similar? They will end up on the comparison line.”

-So I’m trying

“The world only sees results!”

That’s true. The results don’t always match the effort you put in…

-Kwarrrr!

A vortex surged through the sea. In the vortex, pieces of ice and steel swirled around like a blender. It was a vortex-water mixture poured out by Baek A-rin.

‘Why does everyone try to shake up their opponents with words before the game starts?’

Of course I know it’s a type of strategy and tactic, but it’s also cowardly.

He pursed his lips and pulled his hand back. Ice slammed into his palm, and he caught a lance with a cone-shaped blade.

I recalled the recorded information with my mouth full of cold breath.

Battle with the 10th round.

The data is observed from start to finish and preserved with the power of knowledge. The analysis has also been completed immediately.

I completely understood the form of technology that the 10th time demonstrated.

The original power was developed as a true blood ability, but the form can be applied to other unique abilities as well.

The most suitable unique ability was creation.

‘Tubular play.’

Kwaaang! The spear pierced the center of the vortex. The scattered vortex froze and fell into the sea, which was split left and right.

“Eight.”

Baek A-rin, frowning, stepped on the ground. Bam! The water in the sea froze and became ten layers of ice walls.

The ice wall that had been pierced through the center collapsed. However, the spears, which had low penetration power, were swallowed by the sea that came in from all directions.

But Baek A-rin’s impression did not improve.

Pavabak! The water spheres she had secretly placed here and there were thorns stuck in them. The water spheres, which had lost their structure, collapsed.

“Hey, the surprise attack isn’t working.”

Baek A-rin grumbled softly.

There was no choice. No matter how well you hide your presence and magical power, you can’t escape observation.

‘There is no need to use observation.’

I narrowed the distance by straightening the ice window.

He didn’t forget to tune the sea. He constantly fired thorns from the sea and infiltrated the cold air to take the initiative.

‘I know Baek A-rin’s tactics well.’

Is it just a strategy?

Even if you don’t observe, you can anticipate the decisions Baek A-rin will make when entering battle.

Separate observations. Combat data collected while sparring. Minor judgments collected while living together.

Data serves as a basis for making judgments.

As the amount of data increases, the accuracy of judgment increases, and it is even possible to predict future actions without even seeing the results.

‘They say the Tower of Observation used its powers primarily for foresight… Maybe it was used like I did.’

In particular, we collected and analyzed even the smallest details about Baek A-rin.

I don’t know about other people, but Baek A-rin’s decisions in battle had to be predictable from beginning to end.

-Kwaang!

“Cheet.”

We narrowed the gap by destroying the check.

He kicked away the spears that had been thrust at him one after another. He also shot down the dagger hidden between the seas.

Baek A-rin, with her lips pursed, pulled back one of the arms that was wrapped around her.

A frontal attack, putting down the hidden attack that didn’t work. A vortex was created around the raised arm.

Kwarurur! The two simultaneous waves collided. The eddies that followed collided, mixed, and canceled out each other. Baek A-rin made a sharp expression at the sight.

“Oh my, I can’t even fight over output anymore.”

I turned my head at the sight of Baek A-rin pretending to take a deep breath. Ting! The ice spear that had rushed in, aiming for my back, shattered.

Baek A-rin’s face crumpled.

“Erai.”

-It’s a no-no

None other than Baek A-rin’s backstabbing is a bit like that.

Of course, you will get stabbed later, but there is no need to get stabbed now.

[Siyoram 122nd Tournament 2nd Grade Division]

[Winning, Entry and Exit Rate]

[Runner-up, Iphaban Baek Arin]

[The hygiene standards prove the results of growth, show off brilliant potential, and clearly demonstrate excellence─]

After the game, there was an awards ceremony.

Last year, as soon as he advanced to the main tournament, he was immediately shot down by Baek A-rin and was unable to participate, but this time, he confidently took home the winner’s spot.

“Oh my, it’s grown so much. Last year, I could hold it in my arms and tease it while playing.”

After the awards ceremony, Baek A-rin, who had come into the waiting room with us, grumbled.

My expression became a little dull as I was hurriedly packing my bags.

[Absurdity]

[They still harass me these days]

Even though my military power increased, my treatment by those around me did not change.

No matter how much he claimed to be strong, his gaze was still filled with worry, as if he was looking at a child wandering around the water.

And Baek A-rin enjoyed tormenting me by making me sit in her arms and tickling and poking all over my body…

“Honestly, is that bullying? Ha-Yul never rejected it either. Did you hate it?”

Baek A-rin glanced at me as I changed my clothes naturally. She shook her head with embarrassed eyes.

[That’s not it]

[great]

“Look at the second thought. We like each other, so how is that bullying? It’s just skinship.”

That’s definitely true. I nodded and put the trophy I just received into the space. And the credit exchange certificate I received along with it…

‘I need to write this soon too.’

I caressed the credit exchange certificate that was halfway into the subspace.

The grades in the cradle are reflected in grades, and also serve as currency that can be used to receive various benefits.

Early last year, I used it to buy Sky Wings feathers and other things, but I haven’t used it much since then.

As a special admission student, I got a discount of up to 90% on most things, and later I even received the key to the Siyoram Bigo.

If you needed something, you could just go into the store and get it.

Of course, there are things that can only be done with credits.

That’s why I thought of grades.

‘One-time entry ticket.’

This is a product that is almost at the top of the catalog provided by Siyoram.

It is said that this is the authority that allows you to enter the Tower of Growth once, and that you can choose the floor and theme.

For your information, the place where the first-year students competed for survival was the forest… on the first floor.

There are also various levels and environments, and you can enter the place you want to grow, or take loot and other items.

Instead, the ‘past implementation’ space, like the recent entrance, is said to have somewhat strict conditions.

‘I usually only use it once or twice when I’m in high school.’

It’s about time you tighten your belt and hold it in your hand. It’s not at the top of the catalog for nothing.

Since I have some credits that I have accumulated since last year, I will have some room to spare even after entering once.

Of course, considering my status, if I whine to the Vice President, he might let me in…

‘I guess it’s right to follow the procedure.’

If I go in, the topic I will choose is set.

Observation.

A trial in which one must fight and overcome one’s own self implemented within the tower.

‘Other cadets came out at the time of entry, but…’

The circumstances were different.

At the time of the entrance, it wasn’t me, but the second person appeared.

If we go into the topic of observation again, there is a high possibility that a different episode will come out than this one.

Here again, I can’t help but think deeply.

That was the second time we met.

A round where the weight class was low but the skills were outrageous. Also, it was a round where the tendencies were followed.

‘If another episode comes out…’

There are some episodes that I would like to meet in the current situation. However, before discussing training, there are definitely episodes that I am reluctant to meet.

9th, 11th, 12th…

[?]

My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the ice that entered between my collar.

The cold air from the sea still lingered on my body, so I didn’t feel cold. When I turned around to look around, Baek A-rin, sitting on the sofa, was waving her fingers.

The ice on my clothes moved according to my hand gestures. It looks like the ice was put in using basic electromotion.

[Why are you like that?]

“Don’t just stand there, come here.”

Baek A-rin, who had been throwing ice into a corner, gestured to me.

As I shook off the ice and quickly approached, two arms suddenly came up to me and hugged me.

“What kind of bullying is this when you hug me so easily?”

My face was buried in Baek A-rin’s arms, who was smiling. The skin buried inside was incredibly cold. This was because the cold air from the sea had spread throughout my body.

“It’s a bit strange because we’re all cold.”

[affirmation]

Same goes for me.

Baek A-rin, who was rubbing her cheek while looking at me, made a strange expression and then ran her hand along my waist.

“What were you thinking so deeply about?”

[It’s a right to enroll in a college with credits. I’m thinking of using it sometime soon.]

“Aha? I guess Ha-Yul-ssi must have collected a lot of credits. I was thinking of using it soon too.”

[Ms. Baek A-rin is also a senior, so she has collected a lot.]

“I’ve been accumulating it since the beginning of last year. Of course, I’ll reduce it starting this semester because I’m going to be overtaken by someone.”

Baek A-rin is said to have earned a lot of credits as she was the top student in her class, and to have spent almost nothing.

[Then, would you like to write with me? I’m planning to go to Jeon Gwan Jo.]

“Together? Can we enter the observation room at the same time?”

Baek A-rin blinked and tilted her head. I shrugged.

[Even if you enter separately, it would be better to use it as if you were going to use it anyway. It will probably come out at the same time when it comes out.]

“That’s true. I’ll think about it.”

[yes]

The conversation paused for a moment. In the meantime, I let out the panic I had been preparing.

A faint fire that started from my right arm spread throughout my body.

Soon, fear seeped into Baek A-rin’s skin as she held me tightly in her arms.

-Chiiik…

The cold inside my body slowly melted away. In the process, my body felt quite warm, which was quite nice.

‘Not as much as Baek A-rin, though.’

“Hoo… ”

The breath touching my head was disturbed. Baek A-rin, who was shaking my body, hugged me more tightly. My body was buried deeper.

As I peeked my head out from under my chest, slightly open eyes stared at me.

It’s a face floating on a mask. Let’s look inside the mask… Surprisingly, it has a similarly languid expression.

-Whirl, hurruk…

A panic spread. The coldness in my body melted and replaced it with fire. The emotions that had been suppressed rose up and caught fire.

‘… There are a lot of women, but… ‘

It just so happened that way.

Who would have thought it would turn out like this? If you told me early last year about the current situation, I would have just dismissed it as bullshit.

The love that I had been too scared to express was too sweet.

Once I swallowed it, I couldn’t spit it out and had no choice but to open my mouth and ask for more.

If even one of the swallowed loves were to disappear, I would not want to live.

Although I didn’t know it, I was extremely greedy and possessive.

The head still frozen in the sea coolly evaluated it.

-side

The body, terrified, moved.

I briefly pressed my lips against the skin next to my lips that still felt cool.

[It’s mine]

[You’re a playboy… Even if Baek A-rin says she doesn’t like you… I can’t go out now]

Baek A-rin’s eyes, which had been languid, opened wide. Her pretty eyes stared at me intently, and then soon her eyes narrowed.

“Isn’t that too much? You can transplant people’s emotions.”

[No]

He shook his hot and cold head firmly and hugged Baek A-rin tightly. The winged clothes he was wearing also wrapped around Baek A-rin tightly.

[It’s mine now… If you didn’t like it, you should have treated it well from the beginning]

“… Huh, what is that?”

The little girl, who was crying, muttered as if she had no idea.

But I don’t think it was a bad feeling, as he wrapped his arms around my head.

[I’m working hard on the creation. I’ll express it soon.]

“Yes. Since you said so, I will believe you. If someone asked me what I just said, I would have to give them the same answer, right?”

[yes]

“Even in front of your parents?”

[yes]

Baek A-rin smiled brightly as I answered without hesitation.

“Yeah, I’ll believe you.”

I nodded and snuggled into her soft embrace. I buried my face in the slightly damp gap as the cold air melted away.

I enjoyed the comfort of feeling hands tidying my hair.
