Chapter 89 – Episode 89 – Exciting School Trip (5)

Awesome.

I opened my eyes.

When I saw the brown ceiling of the bunk bed coming into view, I realized that I was back in reality.

At the same time, he spat out a curse.

“You’re really fucking strong.”

I was dumbfounded because I was frustrated.

This is what I felt while training with Hong Ma-dong in my dreams for several days. Even though Hong Ma-dong’s hobbies were nasty, he was very nasty.

It was Hongma-dong that gave me a narrow distance until the other day.

When the medicine went up and somehow went in to hit even one, Hong Ma-dong used the sorcerer’s gin as if he had waited.

A sorcerer’s gin that is no different from the ultimate.

The only thing I could do was to be politely beaten by Hongma-dong, who had increased to hundreds or thousands.

So let’s say ‘Stop using that cheat key’ in my resentment.

Today, as if Hongma-dong had waited, he didn’t use the spirit of a sorcerer, and simply beat me with chess.

“Ha.”

In fact, the sorcery called Jin of the sorcerer must have tremendous capacity as a sorcerer in the first place, and at the same time.

In that it is a spell that can be used only after seeing the end of one spell, Hongma-dong was originally stronger than me, but much stronger.

Was it because he was careless after killing him once before, or was it because of his unique frivolity and humor?

I think I underestimated Hongma-dong without realizing it.

“Turn it off.”

Just a moment ago, in a dream, I was groping for the wrist that had been cut off.

What was so amazing was that when I woke up from a dream like this, all the pain disappeared as if it had been washed away.

As explained by Morgan, this headband energized my body as if I had slept very well when I woke up.

No matter how much I roll around in my dreams.

“Really, only one hit.”

Grinding my teeth, I made up my mind.

In my head, Hong Ma-dong giggled and said, ‘Junior, don’t you have feelings if you think this is a training room? Ah, don’t you think the current generation doesn’t know?’

“Somehow, only one hit.”

Let me burn my willpower and wake up from bed.

Darae burst open the door and came in.

Fairly early.

Today, Darae, who woke up earlier than anyone else and washed somewhere, entered the room with her long red hair hanging down.

“Hanjun, you look angry today too.”

Darae brushed off his hair with a towel and told me.

“Did you have trouble sleeping? If you can’t make up your mind, try sharpening your sword like I did. You’ll be mentally stable.”

“… No, it’s okay. I sleep well, but in my dream, a dead person chases after me.”

I brushed it off casually, but Darae looked at me seriously.

Darae came closer to me with strides.

“Are you okay, Hanjun?”

Darae looked at my face with a sincere expression.

A well-defined nose with fine features.

Even uncharacteristically red lips and a sweet smell coming out of the shower.

I felt something uncomfortable and strange.

How to say

Although I know that appearance that looks like a parasitic brother is very unpleasant from a rational point of view.

That feeling of something instinctively not rejecting me?

It was a very difficult feeling for me to explain.

Without saying anything, let’s stare blankly at Darae.

Darae grabbed my shoulder seriously, as if he had misunderstood something.

“Hanjun, don’t take it too seriously. Even if it’s murder, it’s not just your burden. It’s something I have to shoulder too, so if you’re having a hard time, feel free to tell me.”

“No, I don’t particularly care. Don’t worry.”

Than that.

I looked at Darae’s flat chest.

I think I’ve touched that one before… Didn’t it feel a bit soft then?

It must be an illusion.

I smiled and said to Darae, who was still looking at me with worried eyes.

“Don’t worry, I really don’t feel any pressure. Rather, I should have beaten him a few times then killed him.”

“Yes?”

I clenched my fists.

He was beaten like a dog today, so his anger toward Hong Ma-dong rose.

“So don’t worry, I’m fine.”

He tapped Darae’s chest with his clenched fist.

It was an action to resolve doubts disguised as friendship between men.

And the feel of the fist.

This time it was definitely the feel of tight muscles.

Also, he’s a man

I nodded happily.

Contrary to me, however, Darae blushed bright red and punched my chest the same way.

“Ugh… Uhm! That’s right. As expected, Hanjun, you seem like a real manhaha!”

“A billion, a billion!”

Outwardly, it looked like a slender forearm, but the strength in the fist was almost comparable to that of Hongmadong.

When the trauma in my dream reappeared in reality, I hurriedly ran away from Darae.

Flutter.

“Ugh… Ugh!”

There are things I have learned while living with Darae so far.

It was said that when I went into the shower undressing like this, Darae unconsciously avoided me like that.

“I live.”

Looking through the mirror at my reddened chest, I respected my quick judgment.

If it was a little later, it seemed like something really big would have happened.

“Heo-eok, heo-eok.”

Afternoon class time.

Today, as I was training in the shadow family, I was lying face down on the dirt floor as always.

Looking at the deep blue sky, I felt a bit sad.

It’s because these days, getting hit all the time seems to be work.

“Kang Han-jun.”

Unlike me, who sweats profusely and is covered in dust here and there.

Kim Ji-hye lights a cigarette in the same shape as the first time.

Jihye Kim, who snapped her fingers as if she was tired, and put her cigarette in her mouth, spoke to me bluntly.

“Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“You didn’t overdo it?”

When I gasped for breath and answered, Kim Ji-hye clicked her tongue.

“Don’t tell obvious lies.”

Kim Ji-hye sucks in a cigarette and exhales smoke into the air.

The appearance of Kim Ji-hye smoking a cigarette suits her so well that it suits the expression that she is delicious at any time.

Kim Ji-hye must have felt something in my gaze, so she put out her cigarette and said calmly.

“No matter how unusually fast you grow, this makes no sense.”

“… Yes?”

“No, it’s already tidy enough that doesn’t make sense.”

Jihye Kim snapped her fingers, put out her cigarette, and looked at me with her dark circle-filled eyes.

“Hanjun Kang, it is said that the speed of your growth has gone crazy. If you hadn’t trained separately, it would be bizarrely too fast.”

Kim Ji-hye’s eyes, always tired, sparkled with her doubts and surprise.

“If it’s simply your understanding of witchcraft, you’ll be able to pass it. The improvisation you show, no matter how genius you are, it’s impossible if you don’t train.”

“Ah.”

Now I realized what Jihye Kim was talking about.

“Depending on the situation, starting with how to hold the dagger. Mixing the paint properly and engaging in psychological warfare with the paper. Also, judging from the fact that he summons the shadow shikigami precisely to the tricky part, he probably practiced with the sword demon in that room secretly every night.”

“… Right.”

“Yeah, I knew it. I won’t tell you not to do it anymore. It seems like you’re gaining too much from that training. But sometimes, when you’re tired, take a break. If you work too hard, you’ll break at some point.”

Kim Ji-hye gave me sincere advice.

“Yes.”

She nodded her head eagerly, but this time, Kim Ji-hye was wrong.

I brushed aside her concerns from Kim Ji-hye.

Because no matter how hard I tried, there was no strain on my body.

On the contrary, if it was more refreshing, it would have been refreshing.

“… It does seem helpful.”

Hongma-dong.

He seemed frivolous, even if he wasn’t trustworthy, it was certainly as Hong Ma-dong said.

Because I learned while being hit, my abilities jumped significantly in a few days.

No, rather than simply feeling hit, should I express it as dying?

Even if his limbs were cut off, it was a dream, so he attached them casually and continued the battle, so it was ambiguous.

Anyway, if I was in there, I had no choice but to improve my skills.

Because the image of Hong Ma-dong slowly wielding a dagger as he deliberately showed me.

Because I knew how intimidating I was after being hit, I had no choice but to follow the behavior naturally.

“Then, let’s stop here for today. Tomorrow we’re going on a school trip, so we need to take care of our physical condition.”

Jihye Kim snapped her fingers and let her cigarette go somewhere.

Then, she gestured to Kim Si-hee to bring her something.

“Here you are.”

Kim Si-hee suddenly took out something of her from her shadow.

Little blackboard.

A picture of a monster was attached to it.

Kim Ji-hye touched the picture on the blackboard, and she said to me.

“Kang Han-jun, this time as a leader of the school trip, you are following the phoenix of the Phoenix family. You know that?”

“Yes, I know.”

10 members.

The phoenix, who occupies one of the six evil powers, had no way to know.

Kim Ji-hye glanced at me, and she pointed to the face of a phoenix on the blackboard.

“Yeah, well, you know, so I won’t go into detail. But just in case you don’t know, I’ll just give you a few more simple details.”

Phoenix.

His appearance was like a Young master with long vermilion hair, which could have appeared in a historical drama for women.

Contrary to appearances, the phoenix has lived a long lifespan, one of the few among youkai.

Looking at the face that makes you want to slap it at a glance, Kim Ji-hye seems to feel the same way.

She frowned and told me.

“This old scum likes to reveal its status on the outside. It usually pretends to be nice and does good things because of that. I’m going to give it to you. I’m sure you already have some rough plans in place.”

Kim Ji-hye pointed her finger at a part of the phoenix’s face.

“If, just in case you didn’t know, pretending to meet with students at this event and provoking Kang Kang-joon. Show me the bankruptcy sword.”

“Why.”

Jihye Kim smiled.

“Because that’s the old trash bug. See this?”

A single scar extending from the phoenix’s cheek to his nose.

Pointing to the scars that don’t match her pretty face, Kim Ji-hye said.

“A phoenix usually doesn’t leave a scar. When your father killed a phoenix four times, it’s a scar that was caused by swinging at the exact same place. So, just taking out a bankrupt sword and showing it will trigger a seizure.”

Kim Ji-hye smiled proudly, as if it was fun just thinking about it.

“No, but is that okay? I heard that the Phoenix clan is usually considered sacred to some extent.”

“That’s why I said it was when you provoked it. We had a fight first, but I can’t tolerate you staying still. And.”

Jihye Kim coldly closed her eyes.

“No matter what you do, don’t worry because you won’t be able to do it because of me.”

“Wow.”

Is this the power of the clan?

Kim Ji-hye’s words already made my back feel firm.

“Oh, and take this.”

Kim Ji-hye rummaged in her arms as if she had forgotten.

What Jihye Kim took out of her arms was an old cigarette pack.

Kim Ji-hye-gi, who did not normally carry a cigarette pack, but simply flicked her fingers to bring her cigarette to her lips.

I naturally became curious about that old cigarette pack.

“What is it?”

Kim Ji-hye carefully opened the cigarette pack, and she took out one of the four cigarettes.

Sihee Kim ran quickly and she put a cigarette in her cigarette-shaped case and handed it to me.

“…?”

It wasn’t until after I was handed a cigarette that Kim Ji-hye told me the identity of the cigarette.

“It’s a cigarette your father left behind. It’s passed on to the state of transcendence, and now it’s turned into something new.”

I expected it to be no ordinary cigarette.

This cigarette far exceeded my expectations.
