Chapter 50 – Episode 50- Midterms (2)

After blowing up the ignition stone.

Listening to the class of the teacher who was discouraged, I promised to make up for it.

The teacher sniffed anyway, and she finished today’s lesson.

As soon as the class was over, I made a proposal to my midterm team members in the front and back.

“Today, let’s have a meeting.”

The time I was in the hospital was 2 weeks.

Therefore, the midterm exam is only a week away.

What we must do now is to make a specific plan.

Not only me, everyone readily agreed to my proposal, as if everyone else had this in mind.

Seol-hee, who seemed strangely cold, was caught, but he decided to ask.

First we moved to the cafe we ​​had been to before.

* *

It’s a strange war of nerves.

As soon as I arrived at the cafe, this was the impression I felt.

Seol-hee, perhaps in a bad mood today, perched in a corner exuding a white aura.

In order to block the white aura, I naturally sat next to Seolhee.

And Miho naturally tried to sit next to me, but Seolhee’s aura strangely slipped on me and passed over to the next seat.

Seeing Aura’s appearance as if sending a kind of warning, Miho moved her seat with twitching eyebrows.

She smiled kindly and waggled her fourth tail.

I don’t know why, but Miho, who was strangely full of composure, eventually settled down in front of me.

While this series of actions continued, I kept my mouth shut.

Instinctively, I felt that if I spoke up now, something big would happen.

Darae must have felt this subtle air current, and it seemed awkward. Kim Cha-ryeok, who is always my way, was smiling big.

“So, how are you going to take the midterm exam?”

In the end, the rush was thrown with the question of Kim Cha-reuk, who did not notice.

A gap in the air current that was pinched for a moment.

Not missing this time, Darae hurriedly continued.

“There are many ways, but they usually come in three forms.”

Darae raised his three fingers.

“One is the charge type, in which you literally charge at the opponent and plunder the orbs.”

One of Darae’s fingers was folded.

“The second is the defensive type. There are ways to reduce the chance of falling early and promote the second half, such as drawing five marches or building a camp.”

Folding his last remaining finger, Darae finished his words.

“Lastly, the looting type. There is a type of plundering beads while instigating a fight without accepting a battle first.”

I recalled Darae’s words after a brief explanation.

It was certainly similar to the information I found while lying down in the previous hospital room.

It was because those three forms were usually the mainstream in the marble search that had already been conducted several times.

The form of most teams was usually predatory.

If you start a fight first, the gap will be exposed and you will be relatively weak.

Not one team, but the team that is attacked and the team that is attacking.

Aiming at the gap where the weaknesses of those two teams are exposed is a strategy that can be seen everywhere and is also an effective strategy.

However, not all the winners of the previous marble search test were ‘predatory’.

This is because the differences between the teams that are formed according to each other’s strength are vastly different.

A team made up of top yokai and top shamans, and a team that is the complete opposite of it.

The difference in power between the two is huge, and the top team was able to annihilate the bottom team without much effort.

Also, because there is an allotted time for this marble search.

Towards the end of the exam, whether predatory or otherwise, they all tended to rush in to score even one more point.

In the end, it was a condition of the test that all you had to do was collect a lot of marbles, whether or not you were eliminated early.

“Actually, it’s wisest to decide based on the flow. Looking at our strength…”

Darae was speechless and looked around us.

What Darae meant was clear.

With four tailed Miho, herself as a sword demon, and Seol-hee as a snow woman, it was a luxury to see her liver.

In fact, no matter what team Seol-hee, a snow woman, joined, that team transformed into a top-tier team.

Because Seol-hee was the only monster in our grade who could freely handle the negative energy and use magic derived from it as if he were using his hands and feet.

Of course, there were counters in countries that could use extreme yang, but I was also part of this team.

So, there was not a single team that could limit Seolhee’s abilities.

“Right, the other teams will probably be the most restrained against our team’s attack. Anyone can see that Seol-hee is the best, and even Darae is there. But… The problem is whether Seol-hee cooperates well or not.”

Miho smiled and looked back at Seolhee.

Seol-hee quietly opened her mouth at the action, as if asking what to do.

“…Don’t worry, I’ll cooperate as much as possible for Kang Han-jun.”

“Huh huh?”

Seol-hee, blunt, and Mi-ho, who was wearing her single-single smile, looked at each other.

The red eyes shining bright red, and the blue eyes, which were coldly sunk in contrast, contained each other.

“Strangely, they’ve become cooperative. Surely, up until now, weren’t they just ticking around?”

“I received a lot from Kang Han-jun. In many ways.”

At Seolhee’s words, Miho’s red eyes turned to me.

When I was startled by the eerie eyes peeking out from the vertical pupils, Seol-hee lightly grabbed my hand.

“…Sorry, I can’t adjust my tone today.”

Seol-hee, slowly and proudly, touches my hand up to my wrist and elbow.

Miho’s glare was frightening, but the white aura that spread around Seolhee grew bigger and bigger, just as Seolhee said.

The only way to prevent this was to cover it with my body, so I silently allowed Seol-hee to touch me while sweating profusely.

Looking at Miho, I thought about what to do.

Miho suddenly closed his glaring glare and gave a languid smile.

“Really~? Then I can’t help it, because I also received a lot from Han Junie.”

Salang, salang.

Miho’s fourth tail moved.

It’s smaller than the other three tails, even though it’s likely to be covered.

The only moving fourth tail drew attention.

Then, Seol-hee visibly frowned and spread a white aura in all directions.

The aftermath was quite considerable, even freezing Kim Cha-reeok’s Americano on the table.

“You know… I have something to tell you.”

In the end, I hurriedly spit out the words, judging that if this confrontation continued, something might happen.

Seol-hee and Mi-ho turned their eyes to me, as if telling me to hurry up.

In the midst of this tension that I could feel on my skin, I laid out my original plan.

“It’s nothing else, my team has the same power as me. Of course, it’s true that the rest of the team is the majority of the team, but the two of us have unique characteristics.”

Fortunately, Miho and Seolhee’s glares slowly faded, as if my words had piqued their interest.

Letting out a sigh of relief, he continued her words.

“Kim Cha-reuk is a shaman who uses his physical constitution, so he is sensitive to shaman magic. I have a unique characteristic that can only deal with yang, so I came up with a way to dramatically wipe out the score.”

“What is it?”

He made a curious expression about Darae.

After briefly stopping the conversation, amplifying the anticipation.

In this test, I mentioned the means that can wipe out the score the most.

“Golden Orb. If you get 5 other team marbles, there’s this marble you can see. I think you can see it from the start.”

“What are you talking about?”

As if that was nonsense, Darae refuted my words.

However, Miho, who had already hypnotized me, and Kim Cha-ryeok and Seol-hee, who realized that I was not hallucinating in the hallucination maze, were shocked.

“I’m immune to hallucinations, hypnosis, and hallucinations. So, I’m sure if there’s a golden orb nearby, I’ll be able to see where it is.”

Golden beads.

This marble, worth one 10, was a marble that everyone gave up.

Because it was almost impossible to collect 5 marbles in time and find this fast-moving marble.

But our team didn’t know if it might be possible.

If this plan succeeds, you can see the marble from the start and use it because you have Kim Cha-reuk, who is sensitive to magic…

“At least 15 points. If this plan works, won’t 15 points just be earned?”

It was clear that he would leave the highest score ever in the midterm exam.

A man with red sunglasses and a red leather coat.

A man who, if anyone knew him, would be able to tell who he was as soon as he saw his unusual attire, grabbed my stomach.

“Oh, it really hurts… That old monster is annoying. You know I’m not going to look for it, so you pulled out the limbs first.”

Hongma-dong.

With his limbs ripped off, his stomach ripped open, and his head blown out in a hallucinatory maze, he remains surprisingly intact.

However, contrary to his normal appearance, the internal wounds inside his body were quite deep, and he let out a moan full of pain.

“How long has it been since you’ve been hurt like this?

But even so, Hong Ma-dong spat out laughter in between, wondering why he was so happy.

“As expected, it’s good to be thorough. If I hadn’t installed insurance, I almost would have done something.”

I wondered if

However, the unexpected happened, and fortunately, thanks to his meticulous personality, the insurance he left behind worked well.

There would be no disruption to the plan.

However…

“I have to change my plans. The important thing right now is not the Snow Woman. He’s the son of an old friend of mine, so I need to make the right choice for him.”

Hong Ma-dong decided to change his plan.

The boy I saw at the last moment. The moment he realized that he was the only son of his best friend.

This is because Hong Ma-dong had nothing to do with the plan he had made before.

“Keuk keuk keuk, you look like my dad and already use yin-yang reversal. I’m a guy, I’m a guy. I think I have a knack…”

So Hong Ma-dong hummed, putting aside the tingling pain in his body and all the plans he had prepared for years.

“I wonder what they’re going to do.”

Hong Ma-dong slowly raised his body.

He clutched a black dagger in one hand, and in the other the horn of a clan of pipers he had cut off weeks ago.

Hong Ma-dong approached the five march drawn in the center.

Square, square.

A bright blue glow.

Hong Ma-dong, who had thinned his horn over it and strengthened the march, smiled brightly.

“I’m really curious to see how you’re going to get through this situation.”

A wide open space around the Ohaengjin.

The clearing, like a cave, was packed with blue jewels.

The ceiling and floor are filled with blue jewels, even while the surroundings look blue.

Hong Ma-dong, who is the only one who maintains the bright red color, continues to laugh.

Diligently holding in his hand, chopping off his horn.

Preparing to face the soon-to-be-arriving guests.
