“Tan! Priest, look at this!”

[?]

A cool morning. I rubbed my eyes and blinked as I came down to the living room.

Daera Sajeo, who had come down to the living room first, suddenly lifted up the golden trophy. The letters engraved on the trophy were observed naturally.

[Siyoram 122nd Tournament 1st Grade Division]

[Winner, Beginning of Spring, Daera Celeste]

“Hoohoohoo… ”

As the necklace of confession read the letters, Erasajeo’s shoulders shook. Soon, she smiled and opened her ample chest.

“I won! As expected, I’m the best at fighting among the first year students, right?”

The winner of the first-year tournament division was Daerasajer.

It looks like he was very happy because he was waiting with the winner’s cup in his hand since early in the morning.

[Congratulations]

“What? It seems like you don’t have any sincerity?”

[That’s possible]

I shook my head at the suspicious gaze that was sent with a pout.

[I just thought that Daerasajeo would win]

Among the first-year students, there is no way that there could be someone more skilled than Erasajer, who has been rolling around for years without any safety measures.

Moreover, the power and output of this supernatural weapon, which also possesses thunderbolt, are overwhelming.

The only one who fights is Ha Sol.

Because it has excellent skills and a style that is inferior in output but has even better stability.

But the conditions were not good.

Ihasol’s main weapon is a bow.

Even though the stadium is large, it is too narrow to lead a long-distance fight at the superhuman level.

They start out by identifying each other, and once they enter the range of the thunderbolt, it is difficult to escape. Since they were observing from afar, they know the situation.

For that reason, unfortunately, Ha Sol Lee only finished as runner-up.

“Aha, then I admit it. You should have told me that sooner.”

[How did you say that first─Eeee]

“Oh my! How dare you talk back to a priest who is like heaven!”

A hand suddenly reached out and ruffled my hair. It was as if someone was playfully teasing a puppy.

“But the priest won. He doesn’t look very happy.”

[I was also thinking that I might win]

“Wow, what confidence. But it’s not wrong, so it’s ridiculous.”

[Eeee]

The hand ruffling my hair became more intense. My hair was disheveled, but I had just woken up so it didn’t matter.

“Why are you bothering the kid so early in the morning?”

“That’s it.”

Helping hands were on the way.

A hand tapped on the crown of Daerasajeo’s head. It was the master who approached from behind. The master groaned exaggeratedly and stuck out his lips.

“Is it okay to harass a student who has been doing well since morning?”

“Achievement and bullying are completely different stories.”

“Then you should praise the achievements separately!”

“Didn’t you praise me as soon as you received it?”

Erasajeo holding up the trophy placed on the table.

At that sight, the master swallowed a sigh, smiled faintly, and patted Daerasajeo’s head.

“Yeah, well done. As expected, you are my disciple. I believed in you.”

“Hoohoohoo… ”

Daerasajeoga smiled again.

…

“Huh?”

The teacher blinked.

Two trophies were reflected in his golden eyes. One was for the first-year division. The other was for the second-year division, taken from the subspace.

[Siyoram 122nd Tournament 2nd Grade Division]

[Win, Beginning of Summer, Lee Ha-yul]

[I won too]

[Praise, praise]

[expectation]

I looked at the winning cup and my eyes sparkled. The face of the teacher in my sight became strange, and then his lips drew a curve.

“… Ha, your hair is messy and you only do cute things.”

The teacher smiled slightly and bowed his waist. His lips touched the bridge of his nose for a moment and then lifted. The corners of his lips twitched involuntarily.

[lol…]

“This is complete discrimination against disciples… ”

“You got praised too.”

“I didn’t kiss you─Gyaaak! I know, I’m sorry! Don’t stab me with that!”

Erasajerga ran away as soon as he was chased by the automatic interception wing suit.

.

.

.

The first semester midterm evaluations came to an end with the tournament.

The regular entrance schedule was also imaged. In other words, the only thing left on the schedule was the graduation ceremony.

‘There is a three-generation family meeting during vacation.’

It had really come to the forefront. Now that the graduation ceremony was over, I had to sit in the center of the round table as the person in charge of hosting the meeting.

It won’t be something that can be completed in a day or two. Since it’s my topic, and since we’re already gathered here, the atmosphere will be harmonious and the schedule may be extended.

“Dad, dad.”

My thoughts were interrupted by the weight placed on my shoulders.

[Yeah, why is that?]

“Just. I thought you were thinking of something else, so I called.”

A fairy tree growing behind the mansion. Yul came out for a walk and sat down comfortably on its roots.

[… Weren’t you clearly responding sincerely…?]

“Hehehe, then I guess I sang it because I was bored.”

Seoyul, who was noisy, rubbed her head on my shoulder. At first glance, the white hair rubbing against my neck couldn’t be more beautiful.

‘You look happy.’

I also smiled at that plump appearance.

Even though I am repeatedly shocked by the reality that is right in front of me, I like the way you look.

Whenever I have time like this, I try to spend as much time with Yul as possible.

However, due to circumstances, it is difficult to stay together for several days.

Take a walk together, take care of the spirits that follow you around, have a conversation, or go outside sometimes and look around.

Since when Seo Yul was much younger than she is now, she has been trying to create memories that she can look back on in the future.

-Gently

While they were having a small talk, the five-colored wings behind Seo-Yul’s back shone brightly.

The wings that had been fluttering slightly once naturally wrapped around me.

The sunlight shining down beautifully through the five-colored wings. The air also became warmer… and being inside the wings gave me a sense of stability…

‘… I should be giving this feeling instead of receiving it.’

If you think about it, it’s not the kind of feeling a parent should have towards their child. Of course, you can feel that way towards a grown child, but…

“Dad, it’s almost the end of the school year. Do you have anything else to do during the break?”

The moment I was about to spread my wings while trying to restore my parents’ crushed pride, Seo-yool, who had been nagging and rubbing her face against my hair, suddenly asked me.

I tilted my head as I retrieved the winged clothes that were about to turn into wings but stopped in their tracks.

[Yeah, as you know, Seo-Yul, there’s some family stuff to do. I think we’ll have to go out a bit during the vacation… Ah]

The moment I said that.

Seo Yul’s face hardened. She froze with a bright smile. That made it even scarier…

-Sway…

The colorful wings of the flying hawk fluttered, then came closer as if they were coming closer.

A strange sense of comfort, as if I was being held in an egg, tickled my head like cotton wool.

[So, by the way, if it’s okay with you, would you like to go together during the vacation?]

“Really!?“

As soon as he finished speaking, Seo Yul stood up in a frightening manner.

I, too, was carried up, wrapped in wings. Soon, two hands came between my armpits and lifted me up.

[Ugh, that, ah, ah…]

My head suddenly started hurting.

I’m fine now, and I’m definitely not a child… Why can I hear it? I couldn’t understand reality. I didn’t want to accept it…

“Really, really? Am I going with you? For the whole vacation?”

[Uh, uh, r, eom… This time, since it’s not a dangerous place… how about we go sightseeing together?]

“Yes, yes! I’ll definitely go! Let’s go together!”

Seoyul, who was making a noise, hugged me tightly.

Even I, who was struggling with the mental damage, laughed at that dazzling reaction.

‘It’s a safe place, so it’ll be okay.’

This is where the three generations of the family meeting will be held.

It’s a safe place even in advance. They’ll clean up every single bug in preparation for the meeting.

In addition, the heads of the three major clans and armed forces will gather at the meeting.

For a commotion to occur there, a 3rd tier monster would have to run wild. Even that would be easily suppressed.

‘Even if that’s not it…’

Even if there is a commotion.

Seo Yul is definitely safe.

Because I will make it so.

A situation where Seo Yul is in danger?

I absolutely cannot tolerate this. I will not stand to see something like that even if my eyes are gouged out.

.

.

After finishing my work, I left the mansion and visited the main office of the cradle.

“Exchange completed.”

The vice president’s office on the top floor of the main building. While I was sipping tea, the vice president, who was searching through the subspace, handed me a scroll.

A form of ivory paper rolled up and sealed with wax.

It was an admission ticket to the Tower of Growth.

“The usage method is simple. You can use it by entering the Tower of Growth entrance while holding the corresponding admission ticket.”

[How do you decide on a topic or trial?]

“If you think of the steps or trials in your mind, your entry will be completed accordingly. However, please note that there are restrictions on entry in the past implementation space. ”

[all right]

I lightly touched the scroll I had received. The paper was softer than it looked. The roughly hardened sealing wax was stickier than it looked.

‘It’s a conceptual form.’

It is similar to a book realized with the power of knowledge.

Just as a book is a bundle of information, this is also a concept in the form of a scroll.

‘expensive.’

Most of the credits I had accumulated over the semester were eaten up by this scroll.

Of course, I had this in mind from the beginning, but when I actually started eating it, my hands started shaking on their own.

‘Of course it’s natural since it’s the right to enter the Tower of Growth…’

The protection of growth that is amplified inside the tower. That alone is worth the price. No, I should say it is cheap.

“If you participated in clubs and extracurricular activities, you could have earned more credits.”

[… Since I don’t have time…]

The vice president who was sipping tea spoke. I narrowed my shoulders and avoided eye contact.

It’s a leisure activity club that was created with my mental health in mind, but I was so busy in the beginning that I couldn’t get involved.

I turned my head and glanced around again.

The vice president is giving instructions and sipping tea. A vase of flowers is placed on a long table between me and her.

The vase contained purple and white flowers.

It was an agapanthus flower.

Here, in the mansion garden, and in the study, there are agapanthus flowers.

[…Can I ask you one more question?]

“Of course.”

[When you enter the topic of observation, is it possible to choose ‘what point in time’ you will appear?]

The teacup was put down in response to my question. Violet eyes stared at me intently.

An impression that is rigid like a machine.

His eyes are blank, but when I think about his tired expression while he was repairing the Tower of Growth last time… he just seems to lack emotional expression.

“It’s not unprecedented, so it’s possible.”

The Vice President continued speaking.

“There were times when I wanted to see how much I had grown by facing my past self, and there were also times when I wanted to see my future self… but the latter failed.”

[Is that so?]

I let out a sigh of relief at the thought of my future self.

The rounds are my possibilities measured in a fake world. In a way, you could say it’s one of the future. But in the case of the rounds, it was realized.

‘Because there is already a lot of information.’

The Tower of Knowledge contains information about the rounds.

I heard from Ariel that the towers are connected through the power of coordination, and that the tower of growth is the principle that receives and implements it.

‘If possible, I’d like to meet you for the 4th time.’

4th time is not possible.

This was a time when body manipulation was the main focus and weight class was increased, and not only basic physical regeneration but also changes through modification of the spiritual blueprint were possible.

If you want to heal Daerasajeo’s arm, the fastest and best way is to learn the 4th technique…

‘I couldn’t choose last time I observed it.’

Was the top stock randomly selected and implemented? Or was it randomly selected from the top? It is unknown at this point.

Even though I can’t make a choice, I’m pretty sure that another episode will come out.

Would the 2nd and 5th times be excluded since we already met? Would the 10th time we met outside be included?

This is also unknown yet.

‘I’ll think about it as I go in… If it doesn’t work out, then there’s nothing I can do.’

No matter what round you play, you can definitely grow. Learning a technology that is one of your strengths is also a huge benefit.

[Thank you for your kind guidance. I will go back now.]

As soon as I got up from the sofa, the vice president sat up and bowed his head slightly.

“Yes, please go in carefully.”

please.

How could it be?

Although I clearly couldn’t hear it, it seemed like those words were attached to the end of the words.

[… Yes, I will go in carefully]

I bowed my head, covering my face with my hands.
