Chapter 137 – End of Summer Vacation (8)

When Seoyeon and I came out of the dungeon, Miyama Asui immediately offered Seoyeon her hand.

“Ice cream.”

“I understand.”

Seoyeon opened the cooler bag and handed over the ice cream that Asui Miyama had been eating.

Asui Miyama immediately opened the lid and a happy smile appeared on her face.

“As expected, it was worth buying a good bag. It hasn’t melted yet.”

“Was it a magic bag?”

“Yes, that’s 2 million gold. It’s relatively expensive because it’s small.”

When I asked, Asui Miyama took a bite of ice cream and said.

An insulated bag that holds four small cups of ice cream costs 2 million gold.

I don’t think my equipment totaled less than 2 million gold, but I couldn’t tell if I bought it cheaply from Mr. Torres or if that bag was expensive.

“Sian, stay here”

Seoyeon gave me some ice cream too, and she decided to just scoop it up and forget about money.

She was watching us scoop up ice cream while Vulcan had already eaten all of his ice cream, and I was a little concerned about Vulcan’s clothes.

My clothes were torn in several places while I was fighting with the troll leader, so my bare skin was visible, but I didn’t bring any other luggage, so of course I didn’t have any extra clothes.

“Vulcan, I need to buy new clothes.”

“It’s okay. My clothes are not ordinary clothes either.”

As Vulcan Ludric spread mana from his body, his torn clothes began to fall back into place.

While eating three spoons of ice cream, the clothes that Vulcan Rudrik was wearing were restored to their original form.

“Is that like a magic shirt?”

“My skin is harder than most armors, so there was no point in armoring, so I invested in this.”

Vulcan spoke while patting his arm, and he seemed to be confident in his skills.

I chose to dodge the troll’s attack rather than using my shield, but there seemed to be quite a difference in the strength of our bodies.

“So you don’t seem to need any armor or weapons? Is that the Yin attribute mana I felt last time?”

“Well, that’s right. I learned flame most recently.”

“Shallow and wide. If you have two attributes, it definitely makes sense.”

“Then you can become strange like Roanna, so you have to be careful.”

Asui Miyama said as she put the spoon into the container of ice cream she had finished eating and closed the lid.

Then, I handed the cooler bag to Seoyeon and put the trash in it.

“Was Chris Roanna strange?”

“That’s right. I guess you didn’t have a hard time in the first semester? Roanna was probably the one who sparred the most with the 6 members of Class Q, excluding you. Among them, I fought a lot with the three people who had attributes, Jack, Kam Shin-heung, and Julian Roa. What a strange sound. I tried it, but what was it? The nature of the skill and the holder… It sounded difficult.”

“Are you saying that you did some kind of experiment to see if the attributes of skills and the body’s natural aptitude are related?”

As Seoyeon roughly guessed what it meant, Asui Miyama nodded.

“Yes. That’s right. Especially since we are quest holders, we studied whether quests give people appropriate skills. You will suffer soon too.”

“Rather than sparring, I took a test once.”

I was able to cut down the Magic Arrow with a sword made with Shadow Craft.

Rather than calling it a sparring match, it can be seen as a good test for each other.

“Really? Is it because fire has Jack? If it had two attributes, it would be more troublesome.”

I think you’re being treated like a bully too much?

I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve suffered so much.

I was about to take the container of ice cream that Naeun had finished, fold it up, and then throw it in the trash, when Miyama Asui held out her hand.

“Give it to me. I’ll throw it away.”

“Okay. It was good.”

We walked along the path from the dungeon exit back to the warp room.

‘I was able to make up to three flame rings now.’

My overall skill level has increased while using the Shadow Circle, and my ability to create flame rings has improved significantly.

Master Yeomwang taught me the three and five rings, but there must be a level beyond that, right?

However, if there are too many, I am not sure if it is possible to pass them all at once.

If there are more than five, I think I’ll have to place the salt rings extremely closely, but I don’t think I’ll be able to make that level of fine-tuning yet.

“You came back earlier than expected. There don’t seem to be any major injuries and congratulations on your safe return.”

When we got near the warp room, we were greeted by the dungeon manager.

“Thank you. But was the troll in this dungeon originally able to recover if its body was cut in half?”

When Miyama Asui greeted him as the representative and asked one question, the dungeon manager looked embarrassed.

“Huh? What do you mean, you cut a troll’s body in half, and it recovers?”

“To begin with, there were four trolls in the boss room and nearly 30 orcs. The troll leader who commanded them all was quite strong, but it was very different from the dungeon information we received.”

“That can’t be possible? In the 30 years of this dungeon, there has never been a boss room with that configuration. I understand. I guess I’ll have to contact the dungeon management office in Utopia and explore the dungeon again.”

“Thank you. Let’s go.”

After giving the dungeon manager a big task, we headed to the warp room.

Asui Miyama was about to put his watch on the terminal, but he turned around and looked at us and said.

“If I go back right now, I have some time left until lunch. How about taking a shower here and coming back clean and having lunch?”

“I think I’m okay?”

Vulcan Rudric was the first to agree to Miyama Asui’s proposal.

Even if your clothes are restored, it doesn’t mean you haven’t been attacked directly through your skin.

“I think it would be better for me too.”

“Hmm. I didn’t sweat either, but I think it would be a good idea to take a shower.”

Naeun also chose to take a shower, so he went to the shower room near the warp room.

While we were talking briefly in the warp room, the dungeon manager was on the phone somewhere and saw us going to the shower room.

After taking off my gear, I threw my clothes in the washing machine and took a shower.

As I soaked my body in the hot water, I definitely felt like my body was relaxing.

Did Naeun say that his body melts when he is held in my arms because of this feeling?

I was able to feel this heat well because my body had pure mana rather than internal power based on the flame magic.

After washing with warm water, I applied foam, finished the shower by rinsing off the foam with slightly cold water, and wiped my body with a towel.

When she finished showering, the washing machine was finished drying, and she came out wearing clean clothes.

I must have finished the shower first, so I went outside alone, sat down on a chair, and took out my smartphone.

The next person to come out was, of course, Vulcan. Vulcan also sat down on a chair and took out his smartphone just like me.

“Vulcan.”

“Why are you calling me?”

“How strong is Julian Loa?”

After seeing the skills of the two people, I became curious about the skills of Julian Loa, who can be said to be the strongest first-year student at the academy.

I lost the sparring match because I was pushed back by the shield he was holding, but what would someone who has experienced fighting think?

“Hmm. I can’t really feel the feeling of hitting. That’s how it feels. Since he’s wearing heavy armor and a shield, he seems to be able to carry out the battle based on his durability, but I felt like the attack didn’t reach him. I’ve sparred with him a few times, but it’s really true. He’s a strange guy.”

“Did they use light?”

“That could be true. Or he used a shield. Anyway, to sum up that guy, he was harder, faster, and stronger than me.”

“No part is missing.”

“Plus, my written grades are good. Hmm? Have I seen Julian Loa during vacation?”

“Miyama said that Avon Jack can’t contact you.”

I couldn’t even see Tae Won-ho and Kam Shin-heung.

If you had the chance to go to a dungeon, you would have seen me at least once at the beginning of vacation because I stamped my attendance at the dungeon management office every day.

“You didn’t tell us that you had to spend time in the mountains like Asui Miyama. It’s summer vacation anyway, so it’s just free time, right?”

“Well, if four people in class Q are practicing without informing us, the competition will be fiercer in the second semester. Now there is one more person.”

“Thank you for seeing it that way.”

“Because it’s important that the possibility was seen.”

Certainly that possibility was important.

Rather than walking along a dark road with no end in sight, being able to see my destination in the distance and with bright lights along the way made my will to walk much stronger.

My goal now is to become the best in class Q. I think it’s a goal that I don’t know the subject of, but if I light the path to the destination with the light of another possessed body, I will reach it someday.

As I was talking to Vulcan for a moment, the women came out at the same time.

Seoyeon has long hair, but Asui Miyama’s hair is relatively short, so I thought it would take less time, but it seems they got the timing right.

Seoyeon came out of the shower room and clung to my arm with a slightly red face.

“What happened?”

Seoyeon glanced at Vulcan and then whispered into her ear.

“Miyama touched her breasts…”

“Aha…?”

It seems that Asui Miyama touched Seoyeon because she has a more feminine body.

Since Miyama Asui has a body that is close to that of a slender body, was it surprising to see Seoyeon’s curvy body?

“What are you saying to your boyfriend? You gave me permission. Let’s go to sleep. Let’s go eat.”

That way, we entered the warp room again and this time took the warp gate and returned to the Global Academy.

With clean bodies, we headed to the student cafeteria where we could eat as much as we wanted.

There, Vulcan ordered and ate a lot of meat, and Asui Miyama served a sweet dessert with the meal.

Compared to those two, Seoyeon and I received really average food.

‘It feels like it’s been a long time since I ate with my classmates.’

I finished this morning’s work thinking it wasn’t that bad.
