The next morning, Sung-hyun and his party went straight to the academy.

The school started a little later than the start time, so it was not crowded with students, and Seonghyeon headed straight to the homeroom.

“Oh, you’re here.”

The teacher’s expression didn’t look very good.

“What’s going on?”

Sunghyun asked in a hard voice, but the homeroom teacher shook his head and answered.

“I think we should talk to the principal.”

“With the principal?”

It really didn’t seem like an unusual thing.

As for the academy principal, most of them did not appear in front of the students.

I mainly met the principals of foreign academies and other personalities.

“I’m waiting for you in the principal’s office upstairs. Come on up.”

When we arrived in front of the principal’s office, the 3rd grade representative was also waiting at the door.

“…”

Unlike in the past, they did not speak first, and Sung-hyun and the 3rd grade representative waited for the principal in an awkward atmosphere.

“Come on in.”

As if he knew that Seong-hyun had arrived, he was told to come in soon, and the 3rd grade representative opened the door first and then went inside.

The principal was busy, so he kept on doing something.

Even after the two representatives came in, they dealt with something for a while, then sighed and looked at them.

“You made me wait. Please sit down.”

When Seong-hyeon’s party and the 3rd grade representative sat down, the principal stopped what he was doing and sat down.

“First of all, I would like to apologize for the fact that the competition schedule may change.”

“…”

Although the principal apologized, neither Seong-hyeon nor the 3rd grade representative showed a very positive reaction.

“Why are you saying the schedule can change?”

In response to Seong-hyun’s question, the principal opened the paperwork on the table and answered.

“You know that the other day, the meeting was held with the frequency of third-level inquiries.”

It was the day when Korea’s status ranking changed.

“I wonder… Has the frequency of Level 2 inquiries increased?”

Sunghyun asked the principal in a tense voice.

If so, it was much faster than Sunghyun originally knew.

No matter how fast it was, it was Seonghyun who thought it would be at least the end of the year, so if the frequency of second-level inquiries increased, it was not a problem to pass over easily.

“Fortunately not, but the mutating of third-class doors has increased significantly.”

“Inquiry… Variant?”

Hearing that the mutation had become more frequent, everyone in the room gave a puzzled expression.

“The damage to the Hunters is severe. As you know, door mutations don’t happen very often. But out of a total of 17 level 3 doors that hunters have already entered, 9 have mutated.”

“…!”

When the 3rd-class door mutated, almost the same level as the 2nd-class door appeared.

The difference between level 2 and level 3 was almost doubled, so the hunters who entered the door thinking it was an ordinary level 3 door eventually met a disastrous result.

“At the end of the year, it seems that the national competition will not change, but other places are also suffering a lot.”

“Then how exactly is it going? You just said that the schedule might change, can you be certain?”

In response to Seonghyeon’s question, the 3rd graders wrinkled their brows and looked at Seonghyeon and talked.

“Without respect to the principal…!”

“From the academy’s point of view, we would like to proceed with the original schedule, but there are demands from the association, so we are adjusting it. One thing I can say for sure is that all visits have been cancelled.”

No matter how curious about Seonghyeon’s abilities, there would be no time to turn their nerves because sparks fell on their feet.

“In the case of the United States, 52 doors out of a total of 119 third-class doors have mutated…”

“5, 52…?”

It was indeed a huge number.

Almost half of the numbers have mutated.

“So, the hunters who used to go through the 4th and 5th grade doors quickly are being called out to the 3rd grade, and even 3rd grade doors that may or may not be mutated.”

“That is…”

“That’s right. The academy has also been asked to cooperate, and we are putting third-year students first.”

I’m in my 3rd year anyway, so there’s not much left until graduation anyway, so it’s fortunate that the atmosphere is welcoming.

“So, it has not been decided that the schedule will be changed yet, but for this reason, I thought I should tell you in advance that it could be changed, so I invited them here. If there is a change, we will contact you separately.”

“…All right.”

“That’s all I have to say. Our 3rd grade representatives can choose to apply at the door. We can go to the national competition.”

The principal stood up as if everything had to be said.

“When the talk is over, we will go.”

“Yes, do it.”

Sunghyun’s expression when he left the principal’s office was not good.

‘Something different than before the regression.’

In this period before the return, of course, during the nearly 10 years that Sung-hyun had spent before his return, this had not happened.

In other words, from now on, things will not go according to Seong-hyun’s memory.

‘It must not have happened because of what I was doing.’

Of course, things like a change in the status of the Republic of Korea or a change in the attitudes of other countries were not trivial.

But what does that have to do with door mutations?

I wonder if something else was happening that Seong-hyun didn’t know about, or if that wasn’t the case…

‘Does the fact that I have this ability affect me?’

As he was about to deepen his thoughts like that, Inhwan put his hand on Seonghyeon’s shoulder and said,

“it’s okay?”

“Ah, yes. I have something to think about. let’s go I think I’m done with what I’m doing here.”

“okay.”

Seong-hyeon and his party went back to In-hwan’s house.

Now that the place has become a hideout, I naturally moved to Inhwan’s house without telling me where to go.

“If you see that the association doesn’t talk about it…”

“…okay.”

If the number of wounded was large, the association would have asked for support from Seong-hyeon.

But there was no such thing.

The disastrous result that the principal said was not ending with injuries.

“Then what should we do…”

Inhwan’s expression wasn’t as good as this time.

If Seonghyun had asked for support, it would have been a brighter expression than it is now.

“We don’t have to do anything.”

“why?”

In response to the unexpected answer, Inhwan looked at Seonghyeon with puzzled eyes.

“In the first place, if it was an incident that was enough for us, the first year of the academy to go to subjugation, it wouldn’t just end with the association’s disgrace.”

“ah…”

Although it is said that there are many mutations of Grade 3 doors, it is a number that is difficult to compare with the 52 mutations that have occurred in the United States.

Of course, the number of hunters is higher in the United States, but from their point of view, they could be embarrassed that they borrowed the power of the first year of the academy because of only nine mutated gates.

Besides, no one knows now, but since it was Sung-hyun who had even received an offer from the United States, there was no way their eyes could not comprehend Seong-hyun’s actions.

“I don’t know what the schedule will be, but we just need to prepare for the match that will be held in a little bit.”

Of course, Sunghyun had a lot to think about other than this.

The situation is completely different from before the return.

In this case, it was impossible to predict when the frequency of the occurrence of the second-level door would increase, and it was unknown whether the mutation of the third-level door would continue to occur frequently in the future.

“Let’s just watch. Now that the association knows that it is mutated, there will be no victims like this one.”

To be honest, it was only a level 3 door.

It’s not a mutation of a second-class door, it’s a third-class door.

“Take care of that, and we do what we have been doing. Let’s move like that.”

“Yeah, that would be good.”

“Then let’s take a little rest today and start tomorrow. I have something to show you.”

“Are you going to show me?”

I was a little worried about whether I should show Inhwan and Sangyeon, but it was clear that it would be of great help to their training, so Seonghyeon was planning to reveal the ability she had acquired this time.

“brother! Are you off today?”

As if he was still listening to Seonghyeon’s conversation, Yein spoke with a bright expression on her face.

“yes? right?”

“Let’s hang out!”

“You want to go play?”

Come to think of it, it has been a while since Yein started living in this house, but she did not leave the house well.

I had no reason to leave.

“okay. Where do you want to go?”

“Um… I don’t know!”

Decided to take a break anyway. I thought it would be nice to spend a day with Yein.

“Shall we go to the amusement park?”

“No, amusement park…?!”

The expression on Yein’s expression at the word “amusement park” was as if she had gone to heaven for a moment.

“yes!”

I’ve never been there before, and since it’s a weekday, there won’t be many people, so it seemed like a good idea.

“How are you?”

“I guess I haven’t been there in a very long time? great.”

“I agree.”

“Let’s call Hayeon and Seongwook as well.”

Ha-yeon and Seong-wook were taking classes at the academy, and immediately left the academy when Seong-hyun contacted them.

“I’m going to go first…? I got a reply right away.”

“Is this okay…”

It was meant to come after class, but it seemed like they needed a reason to leave the class.

“Then are you leaving now?!”

Yein’s voice sounded like she had already arrived at the amusement park.

“okay. let’s go.”

Seonghyeon’s party went straight to the amusement park.

This time, Inhwan drove directly without a driver.

“I’m so nervous!”

“Have you never been?”

“I think I went there a long time ago, but I can’t remember.”

It felt like I was there when I was younger than I am now.

“It takes about an hour, so I’m getting some sleep. Then go and have fun.”

“yes!”

Although I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep, Yein forcibly closed her eyes when Seonghyeon said that she can have more fun when she sleeps.

After driving for about an hour, we arrived at the amusement park, and Hayeon and Seongwook were waiting at the entrance.

“Are you here?”

“Are you here?”

“Did you wait long?”

“no. I just came.”

Whether or not he had pre-ordered tickets, Hayeon handed Seonghyun a ticket.

“oh. You’ve even made all your purchases.”

“About this.”

The amusement park on weekdays was still very quiet compared to weekends.

Enough to ride all the equipment here.

The day was a little cold, but there were only interesting things to look around, so Yein turned her head around and looked around without feeling the cold.

“Let’s hit that!”

The first thing Yein pointed out was the fastest ride here.

“From the beginning, something like that…”

“Next time that one!”

For some reason, the rides they pointed to were so thrilling that even adults could not ride them.

“We can ride all of them, so let’s ride them slowly one by one.”

“yes!”

In response to the courageous answer, Seonghyeon stroked Yein’s hair and headed for a suitable ride.
