Chapter 31 – Dragon and Tiger

The sun slowly falls, the sky sinks into the sunset.

Go outside the empty classroom. As you walk down the hallway, two figures wave their hands from afar. Wait… Isn’t that one?

Gray and blue.
Seolah Han and Arin Lee were waiting for me at the end of the hallway. Ia-Lin, who is waiting for me with her blushing face slightly stomping her feet, makes eye contact with her. Why is he like this again?

Trudge. As I approached, Han Seol-ah, who was slowly waving her hand, approached me.

“Let’s go now…”

Han Seol-ah looks at me and smiles lightly. This Arin… For some reason, she is far away from me and starts walking together. Why not? Turning her head to the side, she meets her gaze with Lee Arin. She also avoids my gaze.

“Why are you avoiding it?”

“Uh, huh!? Isn’t it? You’re not avoiding it!?”

Ia Lin blushes and shakes her palms around shyly with her palms open. She then covers her eyes with her hand and, glancing between her fingers, she looks at me.

What…?

“Arina…”

Han Seol-ah looks at Lee A-rin with her gaze. Han Seol-ah falls from my side and she grabs Lee A-rin’s wrist.

“Huh!?”

She grabs Arin’s wrist and drags her towards me.
Not the usual slow movements, but large and wide movements. I’m on the right, Han Seol-ah in the middle, and Lee A-rin on the left. Seat is taken Seol-ah Han lets go of her hand.

“Now… Let’s go… I want to eat tteokbokki…”

Seolah Han grabs my hand and Arin Lee’s hand.
Then, it starts dragging the two of us along. Han Seol-ah meets my gaze.

“I… Love tteokbokki… Very much…”

For some reason, with a slightly excited expression. Swinging back and forth the arms holding me and Iarin, we walked quickly.
I turned her head to the side and looked at this Arin, although I was still shy. I see a slightly calmer face. Irene looks at me and smiles awkwardly. Ia-rin turns her attention to Han Seol-ah.

“Seol-ah, did you like tteokbokki?”

Han Seol-ah slows down her steps. Han Seol Agai meets her gaze with Arin.

“Ahhhhh! I like it… Without tteokbokki… I would die…”

Again, Han Seol-ah speeds up her steps. Han Seol-ah looks at me.
A little bit, but his face turned red as if he was excited. Han Seol-ah looks at my hand and grabs it tightly.

“Daddy, hurry up… Let’s go eat…”

The steps become faster.
Han Seol-ah’s expression is a little, but she looks impatient. As I walked forward as if I was running like that, I saw a snack bar in the distance. An ordinary snack bar that looks a bit shabby. Han Seol-ah opens the door to the snack bar.

Seolah Han casually greets the owner of the household. The owner nodded as if she was familiar with it, and Han Seol-ah led the two of us to a seat.

“This… Is the most delicious…”

Seolah Han tapped her tabletop with her hand as if she was already happy. I grab the menu board next to me and open it.

“What are you going to eat?”

Irene, who has calmed down, looks at me. What are you going to eat? Points at the menu with her finger.

“Fried food.”

“Do you like fries?”

As soon as she finishes speaking, Ia Lin takes her menu board.

“Is there anyone you don’t like?”

“But.”

Ia Lin also points to the menu with her hand. The menu is Tteokbokki. Lee Ah-rin looks at Han Seol-ah.

“I like tteokbokki too… Do you want to eat it together?”

“Yes…”

Han Seol-ah nods her head. She wiggles her body happily. Irene smiles softly.

“Then, the tteokbokki is made with cheese…”

“For a moment.”

Suddenly, Seolah Han interrupted.
A little but cold voice. The grinning face from earlier is gone, and I feel a little annoyed. What, what?

“Cheese, never.”

The slack talk is dead. Han Seol-ah looks at Lee A-rin clearly and says. Han Seol-ah’s eyes sharpened.

“Uh…Why? Isn’t cheese the most delicious?”

Irene smiles shyly. Han Seol begins to exhale her breath. Like, she touched something she shouldn’t be touching. Han Seol-ah nervously taps her desk. This feeling is like…

“I… Never, no matter what, even if I die! I can’t tolerate ‘cheese’ in tteokbokki!”

She feels like she’s touched the yoke.
Iarin and I are perplexed. No, that, it’s just a piece of cheese, but it reacts like this?

“Uh, uh, why can’t I put it in?”

Iarin asks, sweating in embarrassment.

“That’s… If you put cheese in it…”

The broth is cloudy.

She does, and she does. Um… I see.

No, that’s why you’re so angry?

“But, putting it in doesn’t taste better-“

“No!! Not at all!!”

Before I can finish my words, Seolah Han slams the table and argues.
Han Seol-ah, who was unfamiliar with the past and lives slowly like water. Now, it has changed 180 degrees. She burns like fire and looks at me.

“Tae-ho. Na-na… I’ll tell you.”

Why can’t you put cheese in tteokbokki?

Seolah Han looks at me as if she is serious. Ah… Those eyes are ‘seriously’. Here, I knew intuitively.

Han Seol-ah… Is suspiciously ‘serious’ about tteokbokki. No.

That you are crazy about tteokbokki.

“Now, listen… Adding ‘cheese’ goes against the ‘root’ of tteokbokki.”

Han Seol-ah is out of luck.

At the same time, she begins preaching her own dog poop philosophy to us.
No… Can’t you just eat it roughly? The content is roughly… The 1,000 won tteokbokki that was bought outside in the old days is the root, and it is said that it is losing its ‘tradition’ because it is made with weird cheese, soy sauce, and the like. The taste of the old days is the best, but they keep trying to change it. I get angry all the time.

“Umm… I heard you well.”

Irene nodded.
It was a gag that lasted about 30 minutes. Iarin’s cheeks are slightly but sunk in, making her look hungry. When the fuck are you eating Now I have to do it slowly…

“However…”

For a moment. However? Sweat drips down my forehead.

“As expected, isn’t it the most delicious thing to eat with ‘cheese’?”

Lee Arin looking at Han Seol Ah. Break through the front If only for a moment…

“What…?”

Han Seol-ah looked at Lee A-rin with a chill. Sparks fly between the two.

With a mixed feeling rising from her chest, she tapped her forehead with her hand.

“I. Again. I’ll tell you.”

When the fuck are you going to order that damn tteokbokki?!

Hungry. Guys, don’t fight, just have a meal.

“No, you don’t have to say it again.”

Lee Ah-rin looks at Han Seol-ah as if she is serious.

“What?”

Then Ia Lynn caught her breath. She meets Han Seol-ah and her eyes.

“The root is not in tteokbokki.”

The root is cheese.

Take a breath.

You can tell instinctively. Irene is-

I’m serious about ‘cheese’.

Like, water and oil. It’s a difference in taste that never mixes.

So, when is Tteokbokki…

Ha.

Like that. Did you fight another 20 minutes?
The poor owner’s lady intervened and barely… Stopped the fight.

Tteokbokki… I didn’t order it.

On top of the prize. Fried dumplings.

Fried only, ordered.

“But… Hey.”

“Huh?”

Now that the fight has stopped, both of them seem to have calmed down. Irene looks at me.

“What’s your favorite food?”

Stop fighting We asked each other about things.
Han Seol-ah… Tteokbokki. I only said tteokbokki. Iarin mostly preferred food with ‘cheese’ as a main or side dish. I… What do you like?

“Chicken breast.”

I like chicken breast

“Yes…?”

“Why?”

The reason is simple.

“I eat it when I work out.”

I am virtually The stock is chicken breast.
Because I really like exercise, and to go to the academy, it was my daily life to exercise as if I was breathing. Chicken breast and I have an inseparable relationship.

“No, it’s not what I eat when I exercise… What I normally eat.”

Iarin looks at me a little, embarrassed. No, is this what you usually eat?

“I told you.”

“Huh?”

Ia Lin tilts her head. I make eye contact with Irene.

“Chicken breast.”

“…”

Lee Ah-rin and Han Seol-ah look at me like crazy.

Why not?

As if feeling relieved from eating something delicious, Ia-rin comes out and crosses her arms around Han Seol-ah’s, and walks toward the limousine in front of her.

“Let’s go over there for the second car!”

With a smile, Arin Lee points to the billboard in the distance. There… Where is it?

“Where is that?”

Irene looks at me. Still smiling, she opens her mouth without erasing the smile on her lips.

“It’s a table tennis court!”

Ia-Lin jumps from her seat as if in a good mood. Let’s go quickly! He said, leading the two of us into the limousine.

Arrived at the table tennis court.

“No… What?”

“It’s big? Really fucking big!”

Is this… Ping-pong?

Somehow, even from a distance, I could see the electronic display board well. Really, it’s fucking big.

“Let’s go in quickly!”

A department store with me and Han Seol-ah crossing our arms. No, go inside the table tennis court.

There are insanely many people inside. Bustling voices can be heard from all directions.
I thought it was just table tennis at the table tennis court… But there are many sports. Volleyball, basketball, soccer, dodgeball, badminton. Etc. So, there are so many things. And the biggest part of that…

It was table tennis.

This department store. No, the table tennis court is a duplex structure with a total of 6 floors. Of these, the third floor is… Only filled with a ‘table tennis table’ for table tennis players. It is said to be one of Korea’s representative attractions that anyone who loves table tennis should visit at least once.

No, there was a building like this in Korea?
It’s the first place I’ve ever heard of while living in Korea. People from all over the world gathered together and only did ‘exercise’… This is so…

Isn’t it heaven?

My face gradually starts to turn red. The muscles of the limbs twitch, reacting to the competition. However, I noticed one strange thing. First floor. As I went up the second floor, I looked through the elevator window.

For some reason, people who exercise were using magic and supernatural powers.

Arrive on the 3rd floor. Walk to the table tennis table. Well, the table tennis table in the center of the building.
Around, hundreds of thousands of people make the erratic sound of ping-pong balls going back and forth. Looking around, I see one or two cameras that look heavy, no matter where they come from. Internet broadcasting, people who keep filming things… There are a lot of them. Seriously, there are too many people.

“Now, who wants to do it with me?”

Ia-rin confidently looks at me and her Han Seol-ah. Han Seol-ah whips her head to her side. Then…

“…”

Go to the other side of Iarin. Hold her racquet with her right hand. Ia Lin looks at me and she laughs.

“Did you feel anything when you came here?”

“What?”

“Strangely… People here. Are you using ‘supernatural powers’?”

Take another look around. Certainly… People are using the same abilities as ‘magic’ and ‘psychic powers’. While playing table tennis.

“This is one of the nationally recognized ‘places where you can use your abilities’.”

Ia Lin beats her luck.

“It’s a representative place where people who are tired of sports come to relax because of fairness.”

Ia Lynn meets her eyes with me.

“Roughly, you know what I’m talking about, right?”

Irene smiles softly.

“Use ‘magic’.”

Nod her head and-

A table tennis ball frozen in white.

Fang – and

Brushes the cheek next to me

“Come on.”

Ia Lin looks at me and smiles her eyes.

“It’s a total of 11 points bet. Let’s do 3 sets. Since we’re going to karaoke next time, let’s all the losers shoot. Okay?”

“Okay.”

“Okay then…”

The first version is a practice version.

As before, Iarin fires the frozen ping-pong ball at me. Don’t get hit twice She quickly hits a ping-pong ball with her mana-enhanced racket.

The ping-pong ball frenziedly bounces back and forth across each table, racquet after racquet.

Ping-

Do.

Pong-

Is not.

Bang-

Do.

Puck-

A creepy noise haunts the ping-pong table.

“Ha-!”

It’s a mistake. The ball jumped high. Ia-Lin cheers up and fixes her eyes on the high-flying ball. And then-

I hit the ping-pong ball hard with a racket full of chills. For a moment-

Kuk-kwang, the tip of the ping-pong table dented. She soon breaks down.

“Cheer up!”

Ia Lynn gives her cheers. No, how do you stop that? In the end, she gave up 1 point.

“1st mother…”

Han Seol-ah slowly raises her left hand. She is a sign that Ia Lin has won.

She only scores 1, but her heart skips a beat at the fact that she has lost. Can not be done. Let’s focus

I will win no matter what.

The right hand holding the racket.

It is scolded and gripped strongly.

Thump- thump- thump- thump-

This is the Seoul Public Gymnasium. Anyone who loves table tennis should listen to it at least once. It is a dream destination.

Boom- Puck- Knock- Puck-

3rd Floor. The main floor where everyone gathers to play table tennis. Normally, you and I would get together and play table tennis… But today was different.

Puck- thump- thump- thump-

A creepy sound echoed from the center of the table tennis court. You and I both stop playing table tennis and look at the source of the sound.

“What sound…”
“Hey, stop for a moment… What the hell…”
“Who is this?”
“Iarin…?”

There, a young man with tanned skin and spiky blond hair.

There was a woman with short blue hair and sharp eyes.

A set that never ends.
The ping-pong table dented and bent, engulfing the surroundings. Everyone who was playing table tennis focused their attention on the two.

People slowly start to flock around.

1 set.

“Aaaaa!”

In the first set, the youth lost. The reason is-

“The racket is fucking weak! Hey! Where is this!”

This is because the racket was crushed by a frozen ping-pong ball.

Seeing the screaming young man, the woman smiles annoyedly.

“That’s why you should have strengthened properly. Pheuheh. Hey! Does this look like table tennis? This is fucking-“

It’s called a skill battle!

At those words, the people around her admired.
Yeah, that can’t really be ‘ping pong’. If this is really ‘table tennis’ – what would be the table tennis we’ve been playing so far?

Right away, it is downgraded to a ball game that children play.

“1 low um… Set kkuk ss…”

The grayish girl in the middle raises her left hand. At the same time.

“It’s good!”
“Hey! I said scoring!”
“Aaaaa!”

Half of the people around me scream, and half jump with happiness.

Only 1 set. After that first set, the people split into two, cheering each other.

Thorough, strong fight.

People start flocking in.

The sound of footsteps coming from downstairs gradually got closer.

2 sets.

“This, dog, cee haircut!”

In the second set, the women lost. The reason is-

“Why are you using explosive magic there?”

It was because the young man shot the ping-pong ball like a bullet with explosive magic and destroyed the ping-pong table.

Seeing the screaming woman, the young man smiles badly.

“Hey, it’s called a superpower battle? That’s why I used a supernatural ability? Kuhuhhh. So, you should have dealt with it properly!”

The crowd of people suddenly forms a sea of ​​phosphoric acid like a cloud.
People who fill up one-third of the wide table tennis court. I look at young people and women. Hot heat, but silence. Everyone is looking at the little girl.

Gray girl. Raise your right hand

“One low um… Set off…”

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of people gathered on the right all at once—

“I believed you!”
“Win! Won! Won! Won!”
“Ooooo!”

Cheers

Everyone is one heart and one mind, cheering for the youth. On top of the young man’s racket, dreamy dreams. Smoke rises.

Drizzle, something. Towards youth and women.

“Hey, what is that…?”

At the words of a man, people turn their heads all at once.

Jimmy Jim.

There was Jimmy Jim there. A camera attached to the top watches the young man and the woman. At the same time-

Heavy cameras squeeze through the crowds of people and come forward.
The people around him who listened to the camcorder also approached it. As you can see, the broadcasting station. And it’s an internet broadcast.

A sweaty woman holds a microphone and approaches the young man.

Haha… Hey, I’m sorry, but what’s your name…”

The young man did not notice that a person had come in front of him.
The two of them… Not caring about people’s eyes. I’m just trying to continue playing table tennis. Insane concentration. Now, between the two of them, there is only a table tennis table and a racket. And only ping-pong balls. When the woman with the microphone touches the young man, she is then.

“Ooh, ooh, what… Yeah?”

Young man responds

“Sorry, but the interview…”

That’s when the young man looks around her.

Person. Person. Person. There are only people She looks up, and there’s even Jimmy Jim.

The young man is perplexed.

“No… Is this… What…”

What’s up?

The young man’s mouth opens like an idiot. It wasn’t just the youth who reacted like this.

“What kind of person…”

Women react the same way. Then, the two of them look at a girl at the same time.

“That… I have to stand…”

“Yes…?”

“That, the hat… Why did you wear it?”

The gray girl is now.

Red hat.

Nice sunglasses.

Silver whistle.

Black suit.

Red tie.

He had the look of a perfect, referee.

“Strange… The old man gave it to me…”

The grayish girl awkwardly fiddles with her hat.

“Okay…?”

The woman rubs her cheeks as if embarrassed. And she looks at the young man. Youth now.

“Anyway, I’ll win.”

Was interviewing As if everything was over, a woman with a microphone approaches her with a camera.

“Will the interview be okay?”

Interview? A woman’s face smiles awkwardly. The woman ponders for a while, then nods her head.

“First of all, the name…”

“Iarin.”

“…Yes?”

The name ‘Ijega’ came out of the woman’s mouth. A murmur grows louder around you.

“Is this Iarin?”
“No wonder…”
“Now I understand, now that I’m going, I’m strong”
“Wow, are you going now?”
“What? Iarin?”
“I’ve seen this face somewhere, is it Lee Arin?”

After that, after a brief interview. Again, women. No, Iarin catches the ping-pong ball.

‘I will win no matter what.’

Irene said. Now, the final set. With this win-

‘That way, I’ll guide you to the karaoke room.’

Who spends money on karaoke. Because it is decided

A young man and a woman cluck. Swallow saliva

The two exchange glances. At the same time.

Beep-!

A gray girl blows a whistle.

Bang-

A creepy sound comes from the woman’s racket. Frozen ping pong ball. Actually, it is a ball of ice. A young man skillfully hits a table tennis ball.

Thump- thump- thump- thump-

Stable Lely. It is the standard of exchanging battles.

Gradually, the ball starts to speed up.
The ping-pong table, which had already been replaced once, begins to shake as Rellie exchanges strongly.

Both. There is not the slightest gap. Overwhelming performance, enough to make your hands sweat. Audiences know it instinctively.

Even if it’s just the slightest mistake. Victory or defeat is decided.

It’s like walking on a tightrope. The ping-pong ball, which had been riding a beat-kung-kung-kung-kkong-beat, gradually began to change irregularly. Then-

Ping-

A young man accidentally misses a ping-pong ball.

“Ajaaaaa!”

A score of 1 point was determined. A woman cheers.

A grayish girl raises her left hand.

“1st mother…”

At the same time, people start cheering.

“Oohhhhh!”
“Yes! That’s how it goes now!”
“I won! I won!”

The young man’s expression hardened.

“It’s okay! It’s still 1 point!”
“Don’t be scared with just one point!”
“Don’t be discouraged! You don’t want to spend money on karaoke!”
“Win! You can win!”

Then, people from behind cheer the young man. The young man’s racket. Trembling shivering

Only, 1 point.

Can win.

A young man catches her heart.

1:1

“I won!”

A young man cheers In the joy of being able to do it, she stomps her feet.

1:2

“Wow!”

A woman cheers. I smile at the joy of scoring again.

2:2

2:3

2:4

3:4

4:4

.
.
.

11:10

The end is coming.

The ping-pong ball in the woman’s hand trembles with chills. If a woman loses this time.

You have to pay all the money for karaoke.

A woman holds the racket tightly and firmly.. You must win unconditionally. In a woman’s head, there is only that thought.

Puck-

Lely begins.

Hiss- hiss- swearing. The sound of ice hitting the ping-pong table is heard. A ping-pong ball hits the young man’s racket at the same time.

Bang- An explosion is heard. Same strategy as before. A woman flashes her eyes.

Inhale- Give your body strength and hit the ping-pong ball that is approaching in an instant. The ping-pong ball approaching the young man at the same speed barely hits the young man’s racket. And.

The ball floats high in the air. Long glide time.

A young man looks at a woman. OK.

It’s thick, and blood vessels start to protrude from the young man’s body.

The young man used acceleration magic.

“…Fuck!”

Obviously, if you hit the ball and send it away, you will lose. I used acceleration magic, but there’s no reason I can’t hit the ball.

That is, unless you hit the ball. Likewise fail Because the score is 11:10. Lose if you miss

A question arises in the woman’s head.

Why did you use acceleration magic only now?

A woman makes eye contact with a young man.

Red bloodshot eyes.

Ah.

Because of the sight… Is that so?

In that state, it would be difficult to see properly.

Until the end, the numbers were left behind.

There is no choice.

Hit a ping-pong ball with a racket.
A ping-pong ball flies away from the woman’s hand and flies to the young man. At the same time-

Kwakwang- Do.

The ping-pong ball that touched the young man’s racket made a terrifying sound.

Drill the floor

The grayish girl raises her right hand.

“1st… Set off…”

At the same time, shouts like thunder.

The table tennis court is full.
