Chapter 152 – 152. Happenings Flexibly!
“What.”
Kang Seol-hwa looked back at me slightly without stopping moving.
“I have a question. You move while generating ice when you move, right? Is it okay to consume magic power?”
“When moving, we use the minimum amount of mana. As long as we move, 24 hours is no problem.”
“But don’t you fight in dungeons too?”
“Isn’t that the magic potion for that time?”
“I guess so.”
Kang Seol-hwa did not show an attitude of not answering even the necessary questions by showing emotion, but answered the question to worry about power, albeit with a stiff tone.
‘The charm of Kang Seol-hwa is that this distinction is properly made.’
Well, if the person you love is involved, losing your composure can also be said to be attractive.
We started the introduction with a decent question, so this time we start a conversation that really raises the likes.
“Come to think of it, that combat uniform also suits you well.”
“What is it all of a sudden?”
At the sudden compliment, I stopped moving and looked at me cautiously.
“No, Seolhwa Kang, the way you fight, you applied ice skating, right? The skills you use are the same. Seeing you fight today reminds me of the time you won the figure skating junior championship wearing clothes with that design.”
“What, what?! How do you do that?”
Kang Seol-hwa was taken aback by my words.
The setting of the origin of combat uniforms revealed in the daily story of Kang Seol-hwa in Black and White.
Kang Seol-hwa, who received a gifted education like me, was especially talented and liked figure skating.
Since figure skating is a woman, there is no particular flaw in the Jinsung group, and I thought that it was a way to appeal to influential conglomerates with my appearance and charm as a woman when Kang Seol-hwa did not awaken as a hunter, so Kang Seol-hwa’s father actively supported Kang Seol-hwa in figure skating.
Kang Seol-hwa, who was young, did not know the intention of the chairman of Jinseong Group, and she was excited that her father liked figure skating, and she ignited the skating that she enjoyed.
Her original self-motivation and her desire to be accepted by her father boosted Seol-hwa Kang’s figure skating skills, and she finally won the figure skating junior championship.
And when she’s getting the trophy over her can opponent, she’s mad at Snowfall.
In Kang Seol-hwa’s eyes, she saw her father watching her from the audience.
Usually, the attendance of Jinseong Group Chairman, who did not show her face even once, regardless of whether the snowfall painter got 100 points or entered any contest.
The decisive reason why Kang Seol-hwa’s father was present was not to watch her, but to see her culture and children’s games.
The mere fact that her own father came to watch the match was a great joy for Kang Seol-hwa and it did not change that the event became a precious day for her.
Even the design of her clothes she wore that day.
“Because I was receiving various education for gifted children. I had never done figure skating myself, and I didn’t have time to go see the game in person due to other class schedules, but I only watched the video of the game. Uh.”
As if reminiscing about the past, he closed his eyes and acted in a tone as if he had seen something impressive.
“That was not only her outstanding talent, but also her desire, passion, and hard work to the extent that her talent blossomed. She was so beautiful that she was called a fairy on the ice, as she was nicknamed at the time.”
“I’m sorry…!”
Kang Seol-hwa’s face turned red not from anger, as it usually seemed to me, but from embarrassment and embarrassment.
If the person who said this was a guy or a friend of the same sex who didn’t have any feelings, I’d lightly say thank you.
The fact that I said this just now came out of my mouth, aware that Kang Seol-hwa did not immediately have a rational meaning, but even a sense of competition.
I was happy to hear that when I was young, but now that I am an adult, it is a nickname called a fairy on the ice that is complicated and subtle to boast openly.
No matter how much I say it with the intention of pure praise, from Kang Seol-hwa’s subjective point of view, it would feel like she was teased for revealing her dark history during her second year in middle school.
“A fairy on the ice?”
“Yes, Maria. It was beautiful to watch the video of the match later.”
“Oh! I see.”
“If you want to see it, I’ll show you later.”
“Really? To the point of being called a fairy on the ice… Looking forward to how beautiful the fairy tale must have been when I was young…”
I’m already feeling the complex and subtle shame, but I’m going to go to the chasing of the pure Maria who has no malice.
“I, don’t talk useless in battle and go quickly!”
Seolhwa Kang roared loudly and turned her blushing face away.
“Uh!? Seo, Seolhwa!? Why are you like that! Go, go together!”
As we were walking while looking at the two leading the way, Rize came to my side and said,
“You made fun of me on purpose, boy?”
“Wasn’t the reaction fun?”
“It’s weak compared to Sihun’s reaction.”
“It’s just that the taste that Sihun teases is exceptionally good.”
Because Sihun has a strong heart just like the main character in the original story, who challenges me with an indomitable will no matter how hard he tries!
It’s really hot-blooded to genuinely break down when teasing.
After that, I encountered a group of Flare Foxes about 4 more times.
“Haaaaagh!”
Chaaaaagh!
-Kaeae aeeng!
And at that time, as if the snowfall painter relieved her embarrassment and irritation, she quickly defeated the Flare Fox by using her skills in succession with plenty of magic power.
Since she slayed all the monsters by herself, of course she consumed that much of her mana.
“Gulp! Next!”
Kang Seol-hwa immediately took the mana potion out of Hephi and shot it, continuing to advance through the dungeon.
“Ah, ah… My role is…”
Although Maria felt sorry for not being able to use the strategy I suggested at first, she sensed Seol-Hwa Kang’s momentum and couldn’t speak to Seol-Hwa Kang.
It seems that the excitement has subsided a little while defeating the monster, so let’s stop it.
Of course, if I stop it, it will re-ignite right away, so I’m not the one talking to you.
“Rise.”
“Yes.”
Rize, who was in the middle, approached Kang Seol-hwa.
“Gangseolhwa, stop.”
Kang Seol-hwa stopped walking at Rize’s call.
“What is it? You want to clear a dungeon and go back?”
“I’m not opposed to that, but the purpose of this practice is to develop connections with other classes. If you tackle everything by yourself, there’s no point in practicing. In addition to that…”
Glancing, Lize turned her head towards Maria and then looked at Seolhwa Snow.
“This will only take away Maria’s experience as a tanker.”
“…Sorry, I guess I got too excited. Not like me…”
When she brought up Maria, her classmate, Kang Seol-hwa calmed her irritation and apologized.
“No, it’s just a matter of linking up from now on. Maria, take care of the tanker.”
“Yes! Rize! I’ll do my best!”
After Rize finished her words, she stepped back and Kang Seol-hwa looked back as if she was chasing Rize.
And when you look back, of course you see me.
“Eww…!”
As soon as Kang Seol-hwa saw me, she looked in front of her again, frowning as if she saw a guy she didn’t want to see.
‘Yes, very good.’
It was enough to make an attempt to create a good impression just by eliciting the reaction shown now.
Right after the midterm exam results were announced, in Kang Seol-hwa’s mind, I was both a goal and an obstacle she had to overcome.
However, when I said that I saw her as a rival, Kang Seol-hwa had a stronger perception that she was a competing opponent rather than a negative impression of being an obstacle.
Today, after giving me the added recognition that I’m a decent guy in carrying out the request together.
Although he values himself, when he is spoken of by others, he will have a strong perception that he is an annoying guy who praises his embarrassing past and understands his efforts to win the results of that past.
I know he wants to win as a rival, but he’s a good guy… Annoyed guy because he knows himself well.
It is said that the mental state of the heroine, who often appears in youth dramas, who is irritated by an incident while quarreling, becomes a spark point and becomes inclined.
‘And an event that will change Kang Seol-hwa’s heart or change her perception of me very favorably will happen today.’
◈
30 minutes later.
We reached the end of the dungeon smoothly, taking care of Maria’s role while properly matching the Flare Fox we encountered this time.
But.
“…Isn’t it too quiet?”
Usually when you reach the end of a dungeon, there is no dungeon boss to meet.
Because the other cadets had come and killed them first, there were no bodies, and furthermore, there were no signs of a battle.
“I didn’t go the wrong way. But why…”
Maria reconfirmed her current location using the map function built into Hephi.
“Bocchan, something is strange. It seems better to withdraw from this position right now.”
Rize gave me some advice, probably feeling something strange.
I can only predict what will happen after this.
Obviously, the person I am thinking of is waiting for me to speak.
“Okay, let’s retreat…”
[Cook cook, that’s not possible.]
“”… !!!””
Kang Seol-hwa, Rize, and Maria looked around in surprise at the voice that came from the air.
[Even so, it’s useless. You already… Because you came into my trap.]
The landscape, which had been covered with green bushes, turned dark red and changed into a completely different form.
More than 10 spider-type monsters appear around, and spider webs are scattered all over the space.
On the floor, the dungeon boss, Scarlet Flare Fox, was curled up in a cobweb with only his face exposed.
And before our eyes.
“Welcome, little ones.”
A strangely beautiful stranger with dark green wavy hair and a black dress that clings to her body, the culprit of the kidnapping, and the boss of Chapter 2 of Blaze Blood.
“Are you ready to die miserably?”
Luke’s teeth appeared.
