Episode 43

first day of school.

Uhwarin sat awkwardly in her seat. Taemin Kang and Leeuah briefly introduced her and immediately left to attend the faculty meeting.

‘What is it…’

It was unfamiliar to be in the same space with people of the same age.

As his parents wished, he had to approach his classmates first in order to have a pleasant school life.

But maybe it’s because I’ve been alone for too long? Yuhwarin was at a loss as to how to approach her friends.

“Hwarin-ah, how are you?”

There was someone who came to her like salvation. It was Joo Da-hyun, a female student with bitter eyes.

And behind him was Min So-yul, who was staring at him with a disapproving look.

“I am Joo Da-hyun, and this is Min So-yul.”

“yes.”

Min So-yul came forward as if it took Yuhwa-rin’s short answer.

“Did you go to school with teacher Taemin today?”

“Yes it was.”

Yuyurin replied calmly. Min So-yul did not like that attitude.

‘We went to school together, don’t you like it?’

Is this your attitude even after doing what you wanted so much? If the teacher cares about you, shouldn’t you know how to appreciate it?

“What about your parents? Are you busy?”

“…he passed away.”

“Oh.”

When Joo Da-hyun looked back, Min So-yul was sweating.

“Sorry, I didn’t know.”

“No, I didn’t tell you, but of course I don’t know.”

“So, what about the other family?”

“doesn’t exist. I had an uncle who passed away yesterday.”

Joo Da-hyun’s pupils shook. She hurriedly tapped Min So-yul with her elbow from behind.

“Mi-sorry…”

“No, I didn’t say that either.”

Yuhwarin, the person in charge, was calm. Min So-yul sought a way to resolve this situation.

“Me, I don’t even have a family! no one!”

Ju Da-hyun closed her eyes at the words that came out. It was completely out of line with the conversation she had envisioned.

Min So-yul looked back at Ju Da-hyun with a slightly relieved eye. And he said with a wink.

‘You can talk too.’

In the end, Dahyun Joo said a word with a short sigh.

“Me, me too… my parents passed away.”

Friends usually look for similarities, but I didn’t expect it to be like this.

“Your uncle is missing.”

A heavy silence fell. It was completely different from the atmosphere Ju Da-hyun initially expected.

Yu Yu-rin looked at the two with pity.

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s fine now, though. No matter what the outside world says, everyone in my class is fine.”

Min So-yul said that and smiled shyly.

“And because teacher Taemin is there too.”

“That, yes. Don’t worry about being alone.”

Joo Da-hyun intervened, grateful for the atmosphere that had finally been settled. But Yuyurin shook her head.

“I am not alone.”

“Yes, with that mindset…”

“No, it’s really okay.”

Uhwarin said that and lightly expressed her ability. A fire blazed behind her.

It was a fire spirit.

“What?!”

“Five!”

The other students who were chatting with each other suddenly turned their heads.

When the attention was suddenly focused, Yoo-hwa-rin’s body seemed to stiffen.

It was because the experience of racial discrimination in the past still remained.

“Wow, what a dog?”

“I’m seeing a spirit for the first time.”

“Ah, you must have been an Elementalist.”

“Does anyone have sweet potatoes?”

“What is Gabbun Sweet Potato?”

However, the reaction that came back was full of energy. Students gathered and expressed their interest in Yuhwarin.

“Hey, it’s time.”

“The only comfortable time of the day has passed…”

The flirtatious children soon checked the time and moved busily.

Joo Da-hyun and Min So-yul took Yuhwarin.

“By the way, how does Hwarin’s training go?”

“Because I’m Teacher Taemin, you must have an idea.”

To Joo Da-hyun’s question, Min So-yul answered as if asking what he was asking.

“Umm, no matter how much it is, is Master even skilled in spiritism…?”

“I do not know.”

Yuyurin shrugged. Then she continued with a light smile.

“I will help you anyway. Because I decided to trust the teacher and come out.”

“Oh, me too! Me too?”

Min So-yul intervened as if competing.

“Besides, the teacher came to eat with me.”

She wanted to show that Kang Tae-min cared more about her than Yoo Hwa-rin. However, it was not a big deal for Yuhwarin.

“You fried rice too?”

“You have fried rice too, what kind of menu is that?”

“No, the teacher did it. Egg fried rice.”

“Gye, egg? No, ‘he did’?”

Yuhwarin nodded and Min Soyul’s eyes widened.

‘Why me…?’

I felt resentment for a moment, but soon Min So-yul touched my forehead.

‘Ah, I said boil it.’

Didn’t Kang Tae-min keep boiling it because he said it was delicious? However, after listening to it now, I had a desire to eat the food that Taemin Kang made.

‘Ugh, I need to buy eggs and rice.’

While Min So-yul burned his will, Ju Da-hyun looked at the two friends alternately.

‘I can’t keep up with the conversation.’

It was because it was unthinkable for her to ask Master to cook for her.

* * *

“From today, we will start special training for midterm exams.”

As soon as the students lined up, Kang Tae-min immediately got to the point.

“First, I will tell you about your type of test.”

Kang Tae-min glanced at him, and Yi-rua called out the names one by one and told them whether it was an individual match or a team match.

Ko Min-soo and Lee Noah were assigned to individual exhibitions, while Joo Da-hyeon, Song Dae-beom, and Yoo Hwa-rin were assigned to the same team.

“The top 12 players in the individual competition and one team of three will advance to this competition, the Youth Hunter Championship.”

As soon as Lee Lua’s name was called, Kang Taemin immediately answered.

“Those who are placed in individual competitions will rotate.”

The gap between students in the special class and those in other classes continued to widen. After Kang Tae-min established the club ‘Colosseum’, the gap widened further.

There was no reason to deal with other classmates.

“As a result of the rotation, the bottom 6 will spar with me at the after-school center.”

“Hup.”

“Hut…”

The students, who were not confident in their hearts, swallowed a small sigh. Isn’t it horrible just imagining it?

‘envy···.’

Only Joo Da-hyun, who fell into the team, gave a genuinely envious look. If it were me, I would have seized the opportunity even if I lost on purpose.

“Let the rotation begin immediately.”

“Yes!”

Leaving the scattered students behind, Kang Tae-min approached the three who had formed a team.

“You guys are coached by me myself.”

The eyes of Ju Da-hyun, who had been envious, came to life. On the other hand, Song Dae-beom was very nervous, and Yoo-rin waited calmly for an explanation.

“You already know that Hwarin is a spirit magician, right?”

“Yes!”

“I saw.”

Taemin Kang shook his head. In order for the three of them to cooperate, they first had to know about the spirits.

“The spirit has a substance, but Hwarin embodies it. The other two should help Hwarin not burn out. The rest as an example.”

The three entered the training ground. Kang Tae-min instructed Yoo Hwa-rin to summon the spirit.

A burning upper body appeared while floating with the flames.

“Song Dae-beom, try to blow up the spirit.”

“Yes? blow up? Oh, I see.”

Song Dae-beom, who unconsciously asked the question, hurriedly followed the instructions.

It was because I knew from experience that if Kang Tae-min wanted to do something, it would be better to do it.

He immediately installed an explosion magic circle on his shield and activated it toward the spirit.

Flashes of light exploded with a bang. Then the flashes subsided.

“Five?”

The spirit’s body grew even larger.

“As you can see, your explosions also act as power to the spirits. During battle, do not worry only about the enemy, but assist Hwarin while paying attention to the condition of the spirit.”

“Yep.”

“Next, Dahyun.”

“Yes, Master!”

Joo Da-hyun came forward with eyes full of anticipation.

“Fire and wind have good compatibility. Hwarin-ah, order the spirit to attack.”

“Yes.”

There was no need for action or words. If Yuhuarin wishes, the spirit will achieve it.

The fire spirit spewed out fierce flames.

“You can control that flame with your power. It is up to you to catch the opponent off guard, use it for defense, or utilize it.”

“I will keep that in mind!”

“Then let’s start right away. Mr. Lua?”

“Yes.”

Joo Da-hyun and Song Dae-beom were startled. Yuhwarin looked at the two people’s reactions and pretended to be surprised a beat late.

The people the three were going to deal with were Kang Tae-min and Lee Lua.

“Hwarin-ah, back!”

“Yaya! The spirit explodes!”

Certainly, the training wasn’t easy.

However, a small smile crept across her lips.

“Mistress, I thought I caught it…!”

“First of all, it would be better to catch Lua-sensei first than Master. Hwarin-ah, what do you think?”

It was because it was the first time I felt the feeling of fighting together for the same goal.

“great.”

* * *

Time passed faster than a bullet. The abundant cherry blossoms have all gone, and the long-awaited day of midterm exams has arrived.

“It’s full! Please use the outside parking lot!”

“Please excuse me!”

Academy administrative staff controlled incoming vehicles. It was because it wasn’t just students and faculty who came to the academy today.

“I don’t think it was to this extent last year?”

“Noblesse is definitely attracting attention this year.”

It was the scouts from the small and medium guilds who were having such a conversation. They couldn’t wait for the main event of the Youth Hunter Championship.

After this tournament is over, the opportunity is pushed back by the giant guild, so I’m trying to take a face stamp even before the selection.

“Even the reporters came.”

“It’s one of the few scoops in the local press.”

Reporters with cameras also stood out. Thanks to this, the inside of the academy was full of people.

“uh? The special class is here!”

“Five!”

What they paid attention to was definitely the special class. The crowd moved and swayed like waves.

Although not carpeted, there was a path reserved for the passage of students.

Fifteen students, led by Kang Tae-min and Lee Lua, passed over it.

“Oh, the real thing is much better than the picture.”

“Does the special class have two teachers?”

“The atmosphere is definitely different.”

The special class students were walking with a lot of strength. It wasn’t that I was determined.

‘Oh man, why are there so many people?’

‘Are you filming? Are you filming now?’

‘Wasn’t it just a test?’

It was because I was surprised by the unexpected crowd rather than the exam. The special class quickly entered the exam hall.

Then, one by one, the other half entered, and all the students belonging to the combat system lined up.

“I have something to say from the headmaster.”

Cha Dong-hyuk gave a brief explanation and gestured. The voice recorded with him rang in the exam hall.

<Everyone, I’m so sorry. I was so busy that I couldn’t even show my face except for the entrance ceremony. But is there something I couldn’t shine today?>

Cha Dong-hyuk shook his head quietly. The headmaster, Rosalyn’s liveliness was completely unaccustomed to it.

<But please understand. What am I supposed to do? Anyway, have a good start today, and this competition is also great! you know? Then fighting!>

Laughter broke out among the students. Cha Dong-hyuk cleared his throat and turned his attention to the public.

“Then, let’s start the midterm exam.”

With a voice contrasting with Rosalyn, the curtain on the selection process rose. The students quickly dispersed after seeing the bracket.

The first player in the special class.

“Noah, don’t be nervous. huh? As usual, just as practiced…”

“No, why are you nervous?”

It was Inoa.

He stopped worrying under the guise of Eruah’s support and went on stage. Irua held her hands together and even prayed.

Seeing this, Inoa stuck out his tongue and grabbed his weapon.

‘Certainly the real sword is different.’

The weapons used in the test were real, not for training. It was because they used real weapons in this competition as well.

Of course, to prevent dangerous situations, the fatal parts were covered with protective equipment, and in case of emergency, Seol Ga-eun, a good teacher, as well as healing hunters dispatched from the association were on standby as a medical team.

‘As practiced.’

Inoa caught his breath lightly and looked at his opponent. There was no separate introduction because the matches were being held simultaneously.

It started as soon as he reached the designated position, and Inoa immediately rushed towards the opponent.

‘what?’

The opponent frowned at Inoa’s actions. Disregarding defense, only attacking attitude.

It was like a suicide attack. He immediately counterattacked, aiming for an opening.

And then something unbelievable happened.

“Write it…!”

Didn’t Inoa block the attack with her own hand instead of the sword? Moreover, it did not penetrate shallowly, but penetrated completely.

I was perplexed as to whether he was okay with this. A smile appeared on Inoa’s face, which was frowning in pain.

“Eh, what is this…?!”

The opponent was dumbfounded and unable to conclude a word. Because something even more amazing happened.

His blade fell to the floor with a loud bang. Besides, Inoa’s hand was fine.

‘As practiced.’

Lee Noah trained with Kang Tae-min and tested her abilities.

When using his ability ‘Body Save’, what happens if a foreign substance is mixed in his body?

The result is this.

When the saved state is recalled, the overlapped part is destroyed as it is. Inoa realized that he could use that nature to disable an opponent’s weapon at the cost of pain.

“Ha, surrender.”

What do you mean by fighting someone who does this kind of thing? The opponent who lost their weapon lost their will to fight.

Kang Tae-min, who watched the match, smiled with satisfaction.

‘It’s going well.’

With Inoa’s victory, the starting match began.
