Chapter 49 – Chapter 49- Midterm Exam

The weekend date with Miho ended very successfully.

The love affair that started at lunchtime on Saturday continued until the next morning, and the lack of yin energy in me was filled with it.

Not only me, Miho’s fourth tail has also grown noticeably.

If not as much as the other three full tails, the fourth has grown half as much.

Thanks to that, Miho’s feet were relaxed as she left the love hotel.

Hehe~ Han Jun-ah, you worked hard~.”

Oddly nerdy, and bizarre at the same time.

With a face dripping with affection, Miho saw me off as I entered the dormitory.

That’s how I ended up having an affair over the weekend, and in exchange for putting in quite a bit of energy, I fell face down on the dorm bed.

Not paying attention to the strangely changed structure of the room, I slept until the next morning and woke up with the help of Darae.

Now I was taking classes with a hazy mind.

“Now, kids, today we are going to learn the five steps.”

The teacher drew a circle on the blackboard.

East, West, South, North.

After drawing circles in four directions, the teacher, who drew a large circle in the center, turned to her classmates.

“Everyone must have heard of the five marches at least once, right?”

The teacher sneaks out and notices Kim Cha-ryeok.

Recently, whenever I had time, I read books related to witchcraft and nodded.

Kim Cha-ryeok showed bright teeth and smiled.

Since they had been together for several weeks already, the teacher, who knew the meaning of Kim Cha-ryeok’s expression, began to explain in silence.

“The Five Elements. The energy of the five elements, consisting of water, wood, fire, earth, and metal, circulates with each other and rotates like a cogwheel. .”

Seuk-seok teacher drew 5 circles and drew an arrow in each one.

“The five elements, where fire and water, water and soil, and soil and wood have opposite poles, and wood and fire and water and wood coexist, lead to this relationship as we commonly know.”

The arrows depicting conflict and coexistence drew a star shape.

But the teacher, as if this wasn’t what she was explaining, she tapped the shape of her shoes at first.

“But what we learn today is not these basic relationships, but the five marches. Witchcraft and witchcraft that change the world’s logic. Since our goal is to learn those two, these five marches are naturally unstable to interfere with the world’s logic. Need to do it.”

The teacher wrote letters in a circle extending east, west, south, and north.

After writing down water, wood, soil, and metal, the teacher wrote fire in the circle left in the middle.

“Now, unlike before, circulation and coexistence are distorted, right? Instead, we can amplify the five elements of fire in the middle.”

The black cloth spread over the podium, the teacher proudly lifted it up.

The cloth was spread out like the teacher had drawn on a blackboard, and the Chinese character for fire was written in the center.

Of course, since it was a proper five-step line, various commercial characters and small parts were added, but I decided to skip that.

The teacher placed a black stone in the center where it said Thousand Fires.

“Now, today, for the sake of explanation. I brought the five marches written on the boiler room of the dormitory. It’s all thanks to these five marches and the ignition stone that you can feel the warmth in winter.”

Good.

The teacher put his hands together.

The black stone was instantly engulfed in fire, as if it was a trigger of magic.

“Oh oh.”

There was definitely a subtle sense of heterogeneity.

It’s not yet as clear as yin and yang, but we’re interested in that insignificant energy.

The teacher continued to explain, pointing to the burning firestone.

“Now look, this is how to strengthen the fire with the five marches and make it continue to burn. The purpose of our lesson today is to burn the ignition stones placed on the five marches like this.”

And the teacher handed out the same black cloth and stones that were spread on the table to the children in the front row.

The cloth that was turned over one after another came to me before I knew it.

After taking my portion, I turned my head to pass the cloth to Seol-hee behind me.

“……”

Seol-hee has a strangely cold expression on her face.

I thought we became close recently, but today, strangely, Seol-hee gave off an atmosphere as if she was pushing me away.

The blunt expression is the same, but the feeling of getting angry without knowing why?

I smile awkwardly and hand over the black cloth to Seol-hee.

Seolhee grabbed the cloth I handed her without saying a word.

Still, when I saw Seol-hee responding sincerely to my actions, I wondered if something would work out.

It wasn’t like ignoring or pushing me away like before, but just being angry could have been solved if you knew the cause.

Deciding to focus on the class first, I listened intently to the teacher’s explanation.

“Now, if you go a little further here, there is an interesting concept called reverse square.

The teacher took out the chalk on the blackboard and drew a white line over the five marches.

Strangely different from the originally drawn Five Elements, and in a place where the existing Five Elements are written, the teacher who wrote the five elements of the opposite pole put his hands together.

Then, from the center of the five marches, ice, not fire, gushed out.

As I watched with interest, the teacher smiled proudly as if he felt my gaze.

“Now, did you see? This is the advantage of the reverse square. To draw a five-line line, qi is essential, but in this reverse square, you can steal the qi of the existing five-line line just by squeaking with chalk like this.”

After the explanation, the teacher scratched her head.

It seemed that everyone except me noticed that they were more interested in the five marches on my desk than in the teacher’s explanation.

“Anyway, if you want to learn this reverse square, it’s because you can draw from the five marches. Today, let’s use the five marches and ignition stones that were distributed.”

I stared blankly at the five marches placed on my desk.

The Five Lines with commercial characters and various lines.

Touching the blunt fire stone, I wondered if I could really use the five marches.

That’s also true, because I was able to use ‘yang’, a higher concept than the five elements.

“Huh!”

At that time, the spirit of Kim Cha-ryeok was heard from the front.

The guy twitched his muscles, with a footstool resting on his oh march. He was holding the foot fossil to crush it.

“Huh!”

Apparently, he couldn’t use fire among the five elements.

That’s because the guy’s constitution can’t use magic, and he’s still only able to use the attributes of iron because he’s just learned magic.

But even so, Kim Cha-ryeok, trying to push through somehow, wriggled his arm muscles and squeezed the foot fossil.

“Huuuuu!”

He was also crazy.

Kim Cha-ryeok was squeezing this pyrotechnic stone, which looked incredibly hard just by touching the surface.

If you simply give up, the guy will have his muscles. He continued to energize his foot, as if he believed that his constitution would solve the problem somehow.

“Uuuuu!”

And to my surprise, a small spark rose above the ignition stone.

I opened my eyes wide and watched the strange phenomenon.

Kim Cha-ryeok seemed to feel that what he was doing was right, and energized him even more.

Fall out. Quick.

A small solid line rose above the ignition stone.

At the same time, the flames grew larger and larger.

Could it be that he didn’t use magic, he just broke the firestone and started the fire?

“Cha… Charyeok!”

And as if to prove that my thoughts were correct, the teacher freaked out and ran to Kim Cha-ryeok.

Fortunately, before Kim Cha-reeok broke the ignition stone, Darae sitting next to him dried Kim Cha-reeok.

Looking at the ignition stone with a lot of solid lines, the teacher cried.

“This is expensive… I’ll have to take it out of my salary.”

Kim Cha-ryeok scratched his head awkwardly.

I looked at the back of Kim Cha-ryeok and slowly looked at the ignition stone placed in front of me.

Unlike that stupid muscle monster, I felt a subtle sensation inside this pyrotechnic stone.

As if possessed, he stretched out his hand.

Good vibes.

Similar to fire among the five elements, remembering the nature of rising upward.

I reached out.

After doing the yin-yang reversal, I felt the heterogeneity of yang that was felt more clearly.

The time when I tried to float that property on my fingertips and blow it into the ignition stone.

The teacher yelled at me

“Han Jun-ah, no!”

“Yes…?”

But it’s already too late.

It was because the fire stone in front of me already contained the yang energy I had blown into it.

In an instant, the pyrotechnic stone exploded at the same time as it was engulfed in flames.

“…!”

I stared blankly at the shattered pyrotechnic stone.

Fortunately, the flame wasn’t too big, and there was no further damage except the black cloth on my desk.

However, the teacher cried out and knelt down.

“To pieces… This month… My paycheck…”

The voice of the lamentation of office workers.

I didn’t know what to do in this sudden situation, so someone came over from behind.

Yoo Seol-hee.

Seol-hee was sitting on the desk, leaning on my shoulder and turning her body toward me.

Thanks to that, Seol-hee’s face came closer to my face.

The cool and sweet scent of Seolhee passed through the tip of her nose.

It’s blunt, but that’s why the beautiful appearance that suits it was placed at a distance that took your breath away.

“……”

We are surprised by Seol-hee’s sudden action, to the point where we forget this situation where the fire is burning right in front of our eyes.

Seolhee silently stretched out her hand in front of me.

Awesome-.

Ice sprouted on the desk.

The burning flames were extinguished in an instant.

Seeing how the flames were extinguished in an instant, I realized that Seol-hee turned to me to extinguish the flames.

“Thank you, Seolhee.”

I thanked Seolhee.

It seemed that even a slight movement would touch Seol-hee’s lips, so I slightly pulled back.

Then, Seol-hee stared blankly at me.

Seol-hee looked down at my lips, my neck, and even the collarbone below.

“… You did.”

“Yes?”

Let’s ask Seolhee’s muttered words back.

Seolhee said it was nothing and went back to her place.

The moment I felt a sense of wonder at Seol-hee’s strangely colder appearance, the teacher came up to me and grabbed my shoulder.

“Keuheuk! Han Jun-ah, I’m sorry. I should have told you in advance… But I didn’t. I thought that if you knew how to handle Yang, you would naturally know how to deal with the fire of the five elements, which is the concept underneath it.”

The teacher told me

“But there was an exception. Remember Han Jun-ah, if you add Yang, the higher concept of the Five Elements, in the Five Elements, it amplifies it like this?”

Looking at the teacher who gave a kind explanation even in the middle of tears, a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of

I realized what true work ethic is.
