I Alone Going To The Tower

cack. cack.

A flock of black crows covered the sunset sky.

An empty vacant lot in a ruined city. There was a girl who was collecting dirt and making a hill.

She sometimes hummed songs and mumbled to herself.

"It's done."

The girl who had been rubbing the dirt hard finally lifted her hand.

On top of the completed earthen tomb, something was protruding.

"I'm sorry."

It was a human arm.

The girl grabbed a handful of dirt and gently covered it over the face of the faintly visible person. Then she covered it with her palm as if trimmed.

"Why do people die so easily?"

Finally, she put a wooden cross on it. As she looked at the tomb that was finally completed, she smiled faintly.

"I don't know, right?"

wiggle wiggle.

The cross shook up and down as if responding to her words.

After a business trip to the dungeon where there were many things like this, I was attending the academy for a long time.

I got off the bus and checked the class schedule on my smartphone. It was Professor Oh Yeon-hee's mana management class, so I couldn't sleep.

I stopped in front of the crosswalk and waited for a signal, when I saw a strange person on the street opposite.

I don't know if it's just my misunderstanding or if it's a disease of Jin Jin-ra's concern, but the man was looking at me with fierce eyes.

'What?'

I glanced away and looked back, but he was still looking at me.

Even 'You're right.' He nodded his head as if saying.

… … It's too much of a burden

The signal has changed. As I crossed the crosswalk, the man on the other side rushed out too.

"Excuse me for a moment! Are you Kim Yoo-shin, a student?"

"Yeah, by the way."

I kept my pace, but the man continued the story while keeping pace with me.

"Haha! I got it right! I heard you did a great job in the lava cave this time!"

lava cave? Didn't Jin-Ra not say that this case was buried?

"How do you..."

“Everyone on this floor knows.”

I accepted the business card he handed me.

Guild Scout. I thought you were far away from me.

"The introduction is late. My name is Kwak Chan-hee, scout of the Grimore Guild."

"Oh, yes."

"I'll tell you right after the story comes out."

Kwak Chan-hee, who had fixed his tie, continued speaking with a serious expression on his face.

"Our Grimore Guild wants to formally propose to Kim Yoo-shin to join the team."

Wow.

As I live, days like this come to me as well. It's a name I've never heard of, so it might be a small or medium-sized guild, but it's interesting.

But why the offer to join at such a sudden time?

"I don't have good grades at the academy, and I don't have any good achievements.

Chan-hee Kwak put her finger up as if it was a good question.

"Of course, that's the possibility of student Yoo-shin! At the press conference, the hunter who was at the lava cave site gave a lot of praise. 'I've done almost nothing. All over a hundred people have been able to survive like this,' Kim Yoo- of the academy. It's thanks to student shin!'

Ah, that fool is real... … !

I was grateful for the boss fight rewards, but in the end it doesn't help.

"The procedure is not that complicated. We will allow you to become a member of our guild immediately after passing a simple admission test."

Confident voice and gestures. Apparently I thought I'd go in.

After all, getting a guild scout offer is the dream of aspiring hunters.

"The academy that Yoo-shin is attending right now, of course, is good. They send me business trips and catch dungeons well... But there is nothing decisive. It's income!"

I was very slightly moved by the word income. Kwak Chan-hee continued talking like she wouldn't even give her a second thought.

"The guild has a solid income called annual salary! Besides, the field experience that money can't buy and the great strength of being able to work at a fixed party! Stop school and start playing in the field. The sooner you advance to the hunter, the better! Wouldn't it be better to raise your income all the way when you were still young?"

I stopped walking. Thinking that was a signal, Chan-hee Kwak opened the notebook with a bright smile.

“Then when will we schedule the admission test…”

"No, not that."

"Haha! You're still hesitating. Think carefully. An opportunity like this will never come again."

I stretched out my fingers without saying a word. Kwak Chan-hee's head turned around.

At that moment, the people who were forming a long line in front of the main gate of the academy suddenly opened their eyes wide and rushed to this side.

"I'm over there!"

" Student Kim Yoo-shin!"

"I'm from the Freeman Guild!"

"It's the Celestial Guild!"

Scouts surrounded me in an instant. He was dressed in various colors, from formal suits to full-body suits with a strong sense of show off.

" Student Kim Yoo-shin! Come this way!"

"Let's talk in a quiet place for a while!"

"What are you talking about! There are a lot of people, so just negotiate your salary right here. How much do you want?"

"I'm only signing here! Without any other conditions...!"

I glanced back at Kwak Chan-hee of the Grimore Guild. Her confident expression had hardened, but she still shouted, not wanting to let go of the prey she had caught.

"These people have no morals! They were negotiating with me first!"

The scouts turned her head to look at her Kwak Chan-hee. Then she burst into laughter.

"The Grimore Guild? Join us."

"Why would a prospect like Kim Yoo-shin go to the guild with the highest dungeon accident rate when the salary is weak?"

At the tip of the other scouts, Kwak Chan-hee turned into a poopy expression.

As the atmosphere seemed to heat up more and more, I opened my mouth to calm the situation.

"I am……"

"Yeah, yeah! Where are you going to join the guild! The Cheonrang Guild?"

"How about 300 million down payment? No, 350 million!"

"Look at how they're trying to take a top-notch prospect for a penny. This is 400 million!

"I just got permission from the boss. Salary is not included, only the down payment is 500 million won!"

… … No, there it is. These people just don't want to listen to what other people have to say.

Boo woo woo woo!

At that time, a sedan driving on the road suddenly turned and rushed into the sidewalk. The scouts backed away in confusion.

profit!

The sedan stopped just before it collided with scouts. The car body door clicked upward, and a woman in a well-fitting suit approached inside with a squeaking sound.

As she approached, her scouts retreated from side to side, like her Noah's miracle.

"Are you a student, Kim Yoo-shin?"

"Yeah."

"I'm from the Snow Guild."

The impact of that single word was enormous. Everyone froze, and I was surprised as well. If it were Snow, it was the 4th largest guild in Korea.

"The hero of the lava cave and the boy who defeated the irregular monster. Our representative is very interested in Kim Yoo-shin. Let's go together."

woozy woozy.

I was lost in thought as I listened to the gossip of the people.

Actually, it's not bad if it's a snow guild. It is also a force that can contain Unix, who will become a big enemy in the future.

"Are you just joining?"

"You must go through an interview, admission test, and medical test."

"i See."

"Are you willing to accept the offer?"

It's true that I'm interested, but in fact my answer was set to NO.

Because I already belong and I'm even the leader there. For now, let's say no here.

"I think I'm still not good enough to enter Snow right now. I want to stay at the academy to study more."

The scouts' mouths were wide open at my words. Everyone said, 'Kicking snow!' is the expression

But instead of being angry, she was smiling faintly.

"I understand the intention of student Kim Yoo-shin."

okay. If you know, stop now... .

"It was the academy's early graduation exam soon. Student Kim Yoo-shin wants to graduate from the academy on his own and truly want to be recognized."

no! I just don't go!

"As I heard, you are a proud student. In fact, it is difficult for you to not be able to graduate from the academy early. Your suggestion to replace the admission test with that. I will definitely tell the representative."

I never suggested anything like that!

I don't know why all scouts look like this. When someone speaks, please listen. Do you think every student will crouch to accept if they reach out?

Tired, I quickly escaped the scouts.

But this time he had to face a new horde.

"D, did you hear me? You kicked the Snow Guild!"

"That's not it, you idiot! You're making a new offer to raise the ransom! It's all a strategy."

"Who is he? What grade is he?"

“When do I see myself surrounded by scouts?”

Hearing the commotion, the academy students flocked like clouds. I can hear the annoying sound of school life up to here.

"Oh, get out! Get out!"

Then, through the crowd, Shin-wook, a sophomore, a high school student, came.

"It's amazing, Yoo-shin! I knew you'd be fine!"

He suddenly put his arm around my neck pretending to be friendly.

"Come on, come on, get out of the way! The next Snow Guild member is passing by! Haha!"

I slapped Ko Shin-wook on the side and entered the campus alone. Go Shin-wook was chasing after me while whining.

* * *

When I came to my senses, I had become like a blast nucleus within the academy.

Rumors of finishing four clubs alone in an unprecedented one day. In addition to that, today's Snow Guild scout incident. It seemed to hear people shouting everywhere.

" Student Kim Yoo-shin."

After thinking about something else for a while, I came to my senses. Professor Oh Yeon-hee was looking at her with her eyes narrowed.

Oops.

If you are filmed by Oh Yeon-hee, it will be difficult in many ways.

As she was quietly examining the professor's eyes, she suddenly smiled.

"I'd like to ask you to demonstrate this manasil application technology."

'Well?'

Since that day, Professor Oh Yeon-hee's attitude toward me has completely changed.

… … How could that high-spirited professor even use the expression of a request?

"Okay."

I walked from my seat and stood in front of the mana thrower. As soon as he showed the application technology of Manasil, there was a lot of cheers and cheers from all directions.

A completely different view from a week ago.

Even Professor Oh Yeon-hee had an expression like a high school girl who witnessed an idol she seemed to admire.

… … Please don't look at your disciple with that expression.

"Because I had a fight with that Kim Yoo-shin!"

"Really? So what happened?"

"Hey, how can I win. Still, I struggled a lot."

And that damn Go Shin-wook was selling his name a lot.

"It was great. Now, everyone applaud!"

Loud applause filled the classroom. what is this I went back to my seat with a sense of humor.

"You've become a star."

Han Yun-jeong, who was sitting next to her, murmured.

After class, it was time for lunch. She is packing her luggage to go to a restaurant with Yun-Jeong Han.

"Oh Yoo-shin! Yoo-shin!"

Go Shin-wook followed like a loyal dog.

"The manasil demonstration was amazing! I should have seen that a huge tree was made with that mana thread! It's a pity because of the dungeon business trip, hahaha!"(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

"Hey, it's nice to meet you. I..."

"Kim Chun-Chu-Woo!"

Tickle! The classroom door opened, and this time, Ma Yeon-kyung, the head of the Historical Drama Research Society, and Lee Chan-hee, the head of the Aegis Club, entered.

“… my name is Kim Yoo-shin.”

"Ho-ho! How are you?"

"Why did you come to the 2nd grade classroom?"

"Do you need a reason to say that the vice club president wants to meet the club president?"

She squinted her eyes and held out her payment papers and a pen for signing.

“…Your senior decided to take care of running the club.”

Having won four clubs, instead of kicking out the old club presidents, I demoted them to deputy club presidents and delegated all the powers to them.

In the first place, it was done to attract Jinbora, and now that Jinbora is a member of the Magic Tower, she was no longer a concern.

However, if you take over the clubs and leave right away, the picture is a little different, so you only maintain your position... … .

"Still, can you sign it? It's a budget approval document."

These seniors seemed to like me very much. Reluctantly, I signed it, but this time Chan-hee Lee intervened.

"Kim Yoo-shin! Thanks to you, the number of club applicants has skyrocketed, Kai! We're going to have a dinner party in the evening, but the club president has to come and make a toast. Go!"

"I'm sorry. I have another appointment in the evening, so I'll have to go..."

“Hey, Kim Chun-chu! You’re talking to me right now, so why are you with that guy…!”

Oh, I just don't have a clue. I turned away from them all and looked at Han Yun-jeong.

"Yoon Jung-ah, let's just go."

Druck.

"Do you really need to go eat something like Haksik Tonkatsu with me?"

Han Yun-jung, who left only those words, turned coldly and disappeared.

Ugh, why is he like this?

"Look at me, me, I'm not cheap."

Seeing Han Yun-jung getting farther away, Ko Shin-wook clicked his tongue.

"If you're a good friend, it's good for you too. How dare an inferior student like that..."

"...Shut your mouth before you get really beaten down."

At my cold words, Go Shin-wook immediately turned into a gentle sheep and crouched.

I left the classroom alone.

- Well, that's great. top owner. That's the momentum.

EA, who was watching quietly, spoke to her.

-Murut Matapju is an existence that must be respected and admired by all people. Now, it seems that the people of Earth are also aware of the greatness of Tapju. It's a very good thing, so I'm sorry.

'What is greatness.'

It's good to get people's attention. There is nothing to do with the slightest expectation of this kind of situation.

… … But this is more tiring than I thought.

Oh, I want to go back to the tower soon.

- On the way home, I would like a melon flavored ice cream.

'… … Didn't you just say something about Manmin's respect?'
