Chapter 93 – Episode 93 – Exciting School Trip (9)

The ugly face of the phoenix.

The students in the auditorium noticed the strangeness of not being able to answer my question.

I was able to see the face of the phoenix revealed in the whole world.

The phoenix hurriedly covered his face with his hands and changed his expression.

Lips twitching, eyebrows twitching.

As if putting together a puzzle, the phoenix stitched together his expression, and assuming coincidence, he brainwashed himself.

“Oh, I’m sorry. A chronic disease from the old war popped out. Sometimes it pops out like this infrequently, but I unknowingly frowned at the pain.”

Asking for their understanding, the phoenix apologized to the students in the auditorium.

Mumble, Mumble.

The students whispered among themselves, how much did they understand after hearing the words of the phoenix?

The atmosphere has changed to a convincing one.

That’s right, because the phoenix has shown so far was so devoted and noble to the students.

It was rather strange that the perception of the students changed simply with that expression.

But.

I didn’t mean that everyone in this auditorium just heard that and was absolutely convinced.

Because the expression of the phoenix that I just showed was simply suffering.

Because he was an old man who was infinitely ugly and full of anger.

Even as the students got over this situation, they continued to stare at the phoenix’s face as if they were uncomfortable with something.

And I, who was happy with this situation, laughed.

It was the exact opposite of what it was just before.

The phoenix who laughed at me as if he expected me to reject the gift he gave me.

Now, I was in a state of ridiculing the phoenix in reverse, saying, ‘Is that all there is to it?

“Are you all right?”

I smiled and asked the phoenix how he was doing.

There was no way he could not recognize my greeting mixed with a slight sneer.

However, the phoenix skillfully controlled his expression, holding down his trembling lips.

“Yes, yes. I’m fine.”

“Then may I continue with the question I was asking?”

Me waving the bankruptcy sword.

The phoenix’s eyes trembled in line with that action.

It was a big deal.

I felt like I would become addicted to this behavior.

“Yes, keep asking. You were asking what kind of god it was, right?”

The phoenix forcibly lifted the corners of his mouth and smiled.

“Yes, I just heard that it’s disgusting. I don’t know what the detailed performance is like.”

“Ah, there are cases like that. It’s rare, but it’s like the case of a god that is created in a dungeon.

The phoenix gave me explanations from time to time, and then suddenly spoke to me.

“Then why don’t you leave it to us? Processing and analyzing by-products from dungeons is part of our business.”

“Five.”

I exclaimed as if admiring the horse at the phoenix.

“There are all these coincidences. Is that so?”

“… Yes?”

His eyebrows wriggled as if the phoenix would really entrust him.

“I was really curious. It wouldn’t be bad to leave it for a moment to see what kind of effect it has.”

I handed the bankruptcy sword to the subordinate of the phoenix who approached to deliver the gift.

The phoenix urgently spoke to the subordinate.

“Take it.”

But then I quickly put the bankruptcy sword back into my arms.

With a dazzling smile.

“But I’m not going to do it. I added that the person who gave it to me is sick of it, but he doesn’t have any special abilities. So I just keep it as a souvenir.”

“That… It can’t be. Still, investigate.”

The phoenix urgently tried to persuade me, but stopped talking when he saw my expression.

I was so distracted by the bankruptcy sword, my grinning expression that I didn’t notice.

It was only then that the phoenix noticed that I had only been thinking about playing with it from the beginning.

Haha. Well, then it can’t be helped.”

A smiling phoenix.

Too bad.

I wanted to expose that ugly bare face once more, but I wasn’t a formidable old man who would take it twice.

The phoenix controlled his expression and deliberately passed the present to the next person as if ignoring me.

It was fine though.

The phoenix’s act of ignoring me was itself an act of acknowledging me.

“Then, hello everyone.”

The phoenix, who had handed out all the presents, hurriedly left the podium.

I was laughing at the phoenix who didn’t even make eye contact with me.

Two people appeared on the podium.

“Fuck, keukkeuk.”

Kim Ji-hye in a black suit with long dark circles.

She is usually bothered by everything, and Kim Ji-hye, who used to have a blunt expression, burst into laughter on rare occasions.

Behind that, Kim Si-hee, who also laughed, was guarding Kim Ji-hye’s back.

She climbed onto the podium and Ji-hye Kim, who laughed for a long time, asked for a cigarette in silence.

Kim Ji-hye, who was looking under the podium in her silence, stopped moving when her eyes met mine.

And she quietly nodded her head.

It was a nuance as if she had done well, as if she was giving her a compliment.

“Nice to meet you, Kim Ji-hye.”

Ji-Hye Kim opened her mouth for the first time after I met her eyes.

“I came along as a guide this time, and he’s the one who will ensure your safety.”

Widely.

When Kim Ji-hye snapped her fingers, a large figure popped out from behind her Kim Ji-hye.

Two oxen with a scythe in her monocle.

It politely bowed her head and lit Kim Ji-hye’s cigarette.

Sup.

Kim Ji-hye sucked on her cigarette and snapped her fingers again.

Then, as if it never existed in the first place, Duoxini disappeared in the air.

All that remained in the air was the white smoke that Kim Ji-hye exhaled.

“I’ll stop here. I don’t like long talks.”

After these words, Kim Ji-hye coolly turned her back and left the podium.

However, no one in this auditorium expressed any doubts about that action.

Kim Ji-hye, head of the shadow family.

Because she didn’t have a single student who didn’t know his name and his whereabouts.

No need to explain, everyone knew.

Even if she acted arrogantly, she was justified.

In the first place, Kim Ji-hye was in such a position.

“It’s fucking cool.”

Someone muttered in front of me.

I also agreed with that idea.

Phoenix.

After coming down from the podium and heading to the back of the auditorium, he was smiling benignly.

Smile as always.

Basically, the phoenix with a calm smile on his face left the auditorium silently with his hands behind his back.

And let’s arrive at an empty lot with no one there.

The phoenix wrinkled his face.

The face of the phoenix was distorted and distorted uglyly, as if to prove that all the smiles he had ever shown were lies.

“Damn, damn, damn!”

The phoenix scratched her face with her fingers.

A shivering pain rose from the horizontal scar that stretched from her cheek to her nose.

Unable to bear it, the phoenix raised her fingernails and scraped away her own scars.

Tuk-wook, pop.

The flesh peels off and bright red flames fall.

Although it was a phoenix that scraped away his flesh so strongly that his flesh was cut.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t long before a pile of flesh began to stick to it.

It was a piece of flesh that was neatly attached without leaving even a scar.

The horizontal scars left from the original were the same.

And knowing that, the phoenix scratched his face in order to erase the painful scar.

“Damn, damn, damn.”

Seizures that show even madness.

The grotesque act of digging up her own flesh continued.

She spoke to the phoenix, a subordinate of the Phoenix Clan.

“Penghwang-nim, calm down…”

But his words didn’t follow through.

It was because the phoenix approached the subordinate who had uttered his words and grabbed his face.

“Why are you telling me to calm down? I was infinitely rational in the first place. To you, I look like I’ve lost my reason?”

“That… It’s not that.”

Tadadak.

Sparks flew around the phoenix’s body.

At the same time, a red light rose from the phoenix’s fingertips.

“Turn it off.”

The phoenix’s fingers dug into the subordinate’s face.

Like the phoenix, Soo-ha, who shed red flames instead of blood, widened her eyes and endured the screams.

The phoenix lifted the face of the subordinate and threw it to the floor.

Even though Suha’s face was ripped off, she bowed her head and thanked her.

The phoenix, who had already lost interest in his subordinates, muttered as he scratched his scars again.

“Damn, damn, damn.”

It was very similar.

Like the dark hair, and that grinning expression.

The little boy looked so much like the damn bastard he knew.

“Ah.”

Throbbing.

As the scar swelled, a memory came to mind.

The memory of someone covered in blood, picking up a dagger and slowly approaching him.

The black-eyed man slowly lowered her head, looking into her own eyes.

The memory of slashing a dark dagger from his cheek as if showing off.

Likewise, another memory came to mind.

Grinning, pick up your dagger and come closer.

The memory of cutting the dagger at the same location.

Like another one, another one.

“Aaaaagh!”

The phoenix scratched the wound.

Since he is already dead, he knows that no one will be able to lay a hand on him now.

Memories of that time.

I couldn’t bear the memory of that time, repeated four times.

Tadadak, Tadadak.

Around the phoenix, sparks rose even louder.

Small sparks that had been fluttering in the sky gradually gathered, and soon reached the back of the phoenix to form a single shape.

Two wings made of flame.

The subordinates were restless at the simple form, and tried to say something to the phoenix.

Before that, someone spoke to the phoenix.

“Please calm down.”

“… Which.”

The phoenix rolled his eyes and looked at the person who spoke to him.

The wings of flame were dyed crimson and fluttered as if they would jump out at any moment.

When the phoenix realized who the person standing in front of him was, the flames died out in an instant.

“Lee Soo-bok, it was you.”

The phoenix softened his face.

The man called Lee Soo-bok adjusted her own horn-rimmed glasses.

“Yes, yes. Seeing you calms me down.”

The phoenix approached Soo-bok Lee with a friendly smile.

“Okay, so how do you keep the plan going?”

“Yes, don’t worry. You’ve already checked a few times.”

The phoenix nodded, recalling the shaman and monsters that had recently disappeared in the dungeon.

“Yes, I’ll only trust you. Oh, yes, and.”

The phoenix looked at Lee Soo-bok.

“Hanjun Kang. I’m simply curious about how that kid is usually.”

“I’m just an ordinary student.”

Soobok Lee.

As the homeroom teacher of Kang Han-jun’s class, he pushed up his horn-rimmed glasses.

“It’s surprisingly sincere.”

“… Tsk.”

I wanted to bet on something else, but I know how important a shaman named Lee Soo-bok is to this plan.

The phoenix moved without a word.

When the phoenix stepped out, his subordinates followed him one after another.

Lee Soo-bok, who was left alone before he knew it, looked behind the phoenix.

With a cold expression over his glasses, Lee Soo-bok took out a pocket watch from his pocket and opened it with a snap.

“Soon.”

Looking at something inside the watch, Lee Soo-bok muttered.

Lee Soo-bok looked at the back of the phoenix for a while, then moved on.

After briefly unpacking at the inn, I arrived at the place we had agreed to meet before.

It’s a large dorm, but as before, it was divided into a male and female dormitory, so we had to set up separate places like this to gather in one place.

“It will be fun.”

I don’t know who made the plan for the school trip, but it was clear that the person who planned it was someone with a lot of sense.

The first day of the trip was left unplanned and free time, so the time to play freely in the sea was guaranteed today.

Even though they had to prepare for simple classes and final exams from tomorrow, they weren’t students who would argue about such things in the first place.

I’m just happy that I can play as much as I can today.

And as if to prove that my thoughts were correct, someone came from far away singing loudly.

“Let’s go to the sea! Hey hey hey hey hey go to the sea!”

Kim Cha-ryeok.

Wearing a triangle shorts and showing off his muscles, the guy smiled with a tube in one hand.

“Hanjun! Let’s go to the sea!”

“Okay, let’s go.”

I ignored Kim Cha-ryeok and looked away.

There was no time to worry about his brown muscles.

I’m only interested in the bikinis of the women who will come to visit in the future.

I waited for the ladies with high expectations.
