Saturday morning.

Se-hun Lee, who woke up early in the morning, took the luggage he had prepared in advance and headed to the ‘Aspace Terminal’ in Ur.

A large building with five floors.

It was spacious and splendid enough to be incomparable to any other public transportation terminal, and security was also tight, but considering the importance of this place, it had no choice but to do so.

‘Because it’s a base connected to the whole world… … .’

Starting from the capital of each city or large city, it is a transportation center that can go to and from hundreds of areas without time difference, such as bases installed in various hazardous areas.

One of the pillars that maintains an unusual educational institution called Babel is this subspace terminal.

‘I’ve been thinking about it for a long time… … Yonke also maintains these facilities.’

Considering the size of the property going to and from the subspace terminal, there is no better prey for the minions or terrorists who are aiming for social chaos.

However, contrary to such anxiety, there were few instances where the subspace terminal was directly targeted, including before the regression, and the reason was simple.

‘Because the owner is Ludwig.’

A place created and managed by the Ascension Emperor, who is also called the first successful climber and the strongest hero.

Most of the people who attempted the surprise attack were suppressed just before, and even the members of the seven evils, called the giant evils of Manmajeon, were defeated with serious injuries.

Contrary to popular concerns, Ludwig maintained its status until he co-existed with the Demon of Extinction, so in a sense, there is no other company like this for investors.

‘… … for a moment. Come to think of it, can I buy stocks here?’

Wasn’t it the stock of Subspace Terminal that fell after the rumors of a crisis turned around, but when Ludwig prevented the intrusion, it soared again, and as a result, it maintained an upward trend all the time?

When Sehun Lee is rolling his head at the investment destination he came up with by chance. Realizing that the surroundings had become strangely noisy, he looked ahead.

“… … .”

Ryu Eun-ha, dressed in a black suit, stands at the promised place.

There were no people who couldn’t recognize her because of her expressionless face and red hair, which could be said to be her symbol, and people murmured with sideways glances naturally.

“Why did Ryu Eun-ha come here? Who are you here to take care of?”

“What are you talking about? The former seraphim guild leader’s son was also a good person in front of people. You’re famous for not doing that.”

“Then does it make sense for an S-class hero to go to a D-class dangerous area?”

People who wonder why Ryu Eun-ha came to such a place and are stunned.

In response to the heated reaction, Se-hun Lee suddenly realized how close Ryu Eun-ha was.

‘Even an S-class hero isn’t too far off.’

I saw him so often before his return, so he was insensitive to Lee Se-hun, but he was in a remote position where it was difficult to talk directly to him, let alone get to know him as an S-class hero.

He even holds the title of Head of Department at Babel, so some people will not be able to even give a business card in front of Ryu Eun-ha.

‘In the past, I was just a regular with picky tastes… … Now I have become a reliable supporter.’

I am happy to be able to hold the line well, and on the contrary, it is bittersweet to feel how low my position is.

When Sehun Lee is looking at me with such a complicated feeling.

“ah.”

He made eye contact with Ryu Eun-ha, who was waiting for him.

Ryu Eun-ha approaches without hesitation as soon as she discovers this place. People reflexively retreated at the expressionless approach, leaving only Lee Se-hoon, who naturally stood still.

“… … .”

Ryu Eun-ha, who approached right in front of her, looked at her body once without saying a word and asked calmly.

“Are you okay with your injuries?”

“Oh, yes. Everything is fine now.”

“okay. Fortunately, the.”

An expressionless, yet sincere answer.

If there was a problem with her arm, the level of the weapon she would make in the future would have gone down, and Ryu Eun-ha, who was expecting a new ‘taste’, would have had no choice but to worry.

‘I don’t care what happens after I get tired, but… … .’

When dealing with Ryu Eun-ha, you should never relax. While Sehun Lee was making up his mind again, the crowd surrounding the two of them murmured again.

“Is the rumor that you are being sponsored by Ryu Eun-ha true?”

“Oh my gosh… … Not anyone else, but Ryu Eun-ha… … ?”

Rumors spread that Ryu Eun-ha was interested in Lee Se-hoon due to the last auction, but it was literally just a rumor, so everyone did not listen.

However, if the evidence that the two met separately on the weekend is added, the story will change from then on.

Great news that will spread not only to Babel, but also to the outside world. The two glanced at the reaction and looked at each other again casually.

“Shall we go now?”

“It is.”

Neither Lee Se-hoon nor Ryu Eun-ha was sensitive enough to care about each of these useless reactions.

Ignoring the gazes pouring around them, the two headed straight for one of the ticket gates.

beep-

[Lee Se-hoon cadet. There is no permission to enter the D-class hazardous area.]

A hologram appeared in the air when you brought the cadet ID. Ryu Eun-ha then brought her ID card.

beep-

“I will accompany you.”

[Dean Eunha Ryu. Accompanying the D-class hazardous area has been confirmed.]

When the ticket gate opened and we walked to the inner passage, the inside with the blue gate was revealed.

Gate wide enough to accommodate 10 adults at the same time. Ryu Eun-ha, who looked at the scenery on the other side, gave a brief warning to Lee Se-hoon.

“It might be a bit noisy, so you better focus.”

Ryu Eun-ha crossed the gate first, and Se-hun Lee followed him and moved to the inside of the gate.

Whoo-

A bizarre feeling as if you have taken one step and have traveled a long distance at once. At the peculiar sense of distance from the gate, Sehun Lee frowned.

‘I still feel like a beggar… … .’

Maybe it’s because I’m younger, but I think it’s worse than before.

Lee Se-hun, who brushed off the remaining senses, immediately came out of the building with Ryu Eun-ha.

“It’s still dawn here.”

“Yes. It will take five hours for the sun to rise.”

The site of the terminal surrounded by a huge wall was brightly lit, but the D-class danger area, Eunwolsan Mountain, seen beyond it was dark without a single light.

‘I mean, there’s Jurgen Kruger’s item in there… … .’

I came earlier than before the return, but are the items still intact? When Sehun Lee is looking at half anticipation and half worry.

“I will check the equipment first.”

Ryu Eun-ha, who was standing on the other side, spoke with a slightly strict expression.

“Show me the gear you will be wearing today.”

In response to Ryu Eun-ha’s story, Se-hun Lee took off his coat and showed the equipment he was wearing.

The weapons are the five-color flower pot and hwajeok candle made during the entrance exam. As for the armor, only the vital points were simply covered with light armor on top of the entry-level combat uniforms provided by Babel.

On the surface, it might look like a piece of armor on top of a sweatshirt, but in reality, it was equivalent to wearing two or three layers of steel armor.

‘What. It’s like a piece of paper for the right guys, but… … .’

After all, it’s hard to fight with those guys right now, and Ryu Eun-ha is also with you, so there shouldn’t be a problem.

When Sehun Lee is thinking like that.

“The defense is also poor.”

As expected, Ryu Eun-ha tapped her subspace pocket.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

Ryu Eun-ha took out a black cube from the subspace pocket and put it on her body without Lee Se-hoon saying anything.

Kirik! Kaga River-

The black cube splits into pieces as if a puzzle is being disassembled, and Sehun Lee’s body clings to it, forming a form of armor in an instant.

A clean and sleek design that looks like a suit from a distance. With a sense of unity as if a layer of skin was added, Sehun Lee checked the information with a slightly surprised expression.

[Shadow Matter Armor]

[Rating: Heroic] [Quality: Best]

Armor made using Shadow Matter, a dark material.

It adjusts the shape of the armor according to the wearer’s body and sends the applied shock to the surrounding shadows.

*The shape is adjusted to the wearer’s body.

*The impact applied to the armor can be drained through the continuous shadows.

*You can use the skill ‘Shadow Hedgehog’.

‘It’s armor made of Shadow Matter… … You did care.’

It does not deviate from the purpose of subjugation practice as it does not touch the physical ability, and it automatically responds to attacks that the wearer did not respond to, increasing safety.

Excellent performance as if it was made to order for today. Sehun Lee asked him with a curious expression.

“You didn’t come here because of me, did you?”

“I got it as a gift before, but I didn’t have any use for it, so I put it in the warehouse and brought it because I thought it would be fine. It seems to fit well as expected.”

Ryu Eun-ha nodded her head to see if she liked Lee Se-hoon’s full body armor. Seeing this, Sehun Lee looked down at the armor he was wearing again.

‘It must have been something he didn’t like.’

Ryu Eun-ha does not hand over weapons that she really likes or plans to eat later.

However, giving without hesitation meant that the level was lowered, or that the item was not obtained because it was desired.

‘I said it was a gift, so I think I passed it on to buy some favor… … I don’t know who it is, but I don’t care.’

No matter how much you like armaments, if you hand them over with a clear stomach, they will only be uncomfortable to eat.

Although Ryu Eun-ha may seem insensitive on the outside, she was subtly thorough in this way, so even if she had been warned, she would not have been favored.

‘I wouldn’t have known if I had made it well, but it’s not like that.’

A level made of a material called Shadow Matter just in the shape of an armor.

In a good way, he was faithful to the materials, and in a bad way, he had neither the skills nor the ambition to properly use the materials.

‘It’s a bit of a shame… … .’

While looking down at the armor, Se-hun Lee was pensive for a moment. After confirming, Ryu Eun-ha took a step back.

“I am leaving now. Follow me.”

“Oh, yes. All right.”

Lee Se-hun, who was following Ryu Eun-ha, looked at the entrance of the wall in the distance.

An entrance blocked by a bluish magnetic field. Lightning bolts popped up from time to time, but on the surface it looked quite intimidating to those who saw it for the first time.

“It is a magical device that blocks magic. It is harmless to humans, so there is no need to worry.”

Ryu Eun-ha, who gave a brief explanation, crossed the magnetic field first, and Lee Se-hoon followed suit.

Breakdown!

A blue flash of lightning that sweeps across your body.

It felt like static electricity ran through the whole body, but if it was a monster or a demon with a magical power in it, it would have caused a rejection reaction and the inside would have been roasted.

‘It’s always been a bloody thing… … .’

Sehun Lee, who had safely crossed the magnetic field, turned his gaze to the forest.

A dark forest where the wind blows softly. On the surface, it was just a gloomy wilderness, but there was one difference.

“In the atmosphere of the danger zone, not only magical power but also magic is mixed. Rejection will occur, so please calm down.”

Even when breathing as usual, his lungs ache and his whole body trembles as if threatened. Lee Se-hoon smirked at his body, which reacts sensitively to even a small amount of magic.

‘If you look at this, you have a new body.’

Mentally, he was used to the polluted atmosphere of the dangerous area, but his body instinctively retracted because this was the first time.

However, that strange sensation was short-lived, and in accordance with the mind, the body quickly began to skillfully drain the magic, and the sense of heterogeneity felt throughout the body disappeared.

“I think this is enough, how about you?

Lee Se-hoon, who came in less than a minute, naturally filters out magic through breathing. Ryu Eun-ha’s eyes widened slightly at that sight.

“That’s great. No matter how fast it is, it is difficult at first… … .”

“There’s a bit of a trick in this direction.”

No matter how clever he was, it was unusual for him to adapt in less than a minute, but Ryu Eun-ha did not point out much about him.

“Great.”

I knew that Lee Se-hoon’s talent was not extraordinary, and Ryu Eun-ha herself was a genius who accomplished a lot of such unusual things, so she calmly said, ‘It could be.

“Then I will go right away.”

Ryu Eun-ha took the lead again, and Lee Se-hoon followed behind and entered Eunwolsan Mountain.

Whoo woo-

A gentle wind with magic. There was not even a crowing of insects, so the sound of footsteps could be heard loudly, and there was a sense that something was looking at me through the darkness.

As she was examining the eerie environment created by Magi, Ryu Eun-ha, who was walking in the lead, calmly opened her mouth.

“All the monsters that inhabit Mt. Eunwol are nocturnal. It consists only of individuals with a well-developed sense of smell and high enough intelligence to perform reconnaissance and pincers.”

Sasak-

“So there are two ways to hunt. How to attack the dwellings of monsters during the day. How to defeat monsters that wander around at night.”

Ryu Eun-ha, who glanced around a bit, naturally changed direction.

“And like now, at night, there are ways to hide and raid to destroy each individual, and there are ways to wipe them out at random. Naturally, I usually choose the former.”

Ryu Eun-ha, who had been walking for a long time, abruptly stopped and looked over the bush.

“I came here today to practice subjugation for cadet Lee Se-hoon, so basically, I will not intervene. How would you like to move?”

After teaching the basics, Eunha Ryu turns over the options. In response to the clear question, Sehun Lee stepped forward, looking straight ahead as she did.

“I have a strong protector, so I’m going to break through it head-on.”

“Again, I will not intervene unless it is a dangerous situation. Thanks to the armor, you will not be seriously injured, but if such a situation is deemed to have occurred, we will immediately stop subjugation.”

Ryu Eun-ha draws a clear line for fear that she might fight recklessly depending on the performance of her armor.

Considering his thorough personality, he would do so, not empty words.

“it’s okay.”

However, Sehun Lee calmly responded to Ryu’s warning.

No matter how rotten this body was, it was not at the level of struggling against the guys here.

“… … All right.”

Ryu Eun-ha, who nodded, stepped back and walked forward as if Lee Se-hun took over the baton.

quiet forest. However, the hostility and gazes felt from beyond the bushes silently scatter around and begin to surround them.

And the moment when Lee Se-hoon kept walking as if he didn’t know anything and was trapped in a tighter siege.

Chun-!

Black wolves protruding from the bushes, showing their pure white teeth, rushed at them all at once.

Eunrang, an E-class monster that inhabits Mt. Eunwol.

Although they were the weakest here, they were very intimidating monsters for beginners with a close pincer system.

‘Eight… … A little too much.’

Thanks to Shadow Matter Armor, you won’t get hurt, but you never know what will happen in practice.

When Lee Se-hoon was getting injured, especially his hand, he was preparing himself so that Ryu Eun-ha could intervene at any time.

woo woo-

Inside the red sheath of the waist dance, the fire elemental magic boils and fluctuates.

And the moment when Lee Se-hoon’s right hand crushed and grabbed the handle of the five-color painting.

Paang-!

Five-colored flames drew the half moon and tore apart Eun-rang’s body.

Touk, tuk!

The corpses of the ginrangs split in half and scattered on the floor poorly. The cross section was charred and the smell of burning spread, and Ryu Eun-ha’s eyes widened at the sight.

“… … !”

He waited until the eight Ginrang completely came within range and then spread his feet.

Technology is also a skill, but the level of understanding of the weapon itself was so excellent that it was close to ‘perfect’.

‘awesome… … .’

A battle where the characteristics of a blacksmith are clearly felt, which cannot be felt from other heroes.

At the heterogeneous yet interesting sight, Ryu Eun-ha was silently admiring Lee Se-hoon and the five-color flower in his hand.

Crackle-

“… … .”

“… … .”

A slightly embarrassing sound echoed through the quiet forest.
