Ahhhhhh!
It’s morning time. Lacey raises her eyebrows as I yawned…
“Park Dan-hyeok, are you sleeping properly? You look very tired these days.”
No matter how strong your body is it is impossible not to feel drained if you spend several nights working and planning.
My pastey complexion is masked by using 『Rapid Recovery (E)』by turning the blood flow in the skin, but it may look strange if you know the existence of the skill.
In addition, 『Facility (E)』 and 『Blood Flow Manipulation (E)』 is used to carefully control the muscles of the face and vocal cords. Naturally, so as not to arouse suspicion.
“I’m practicing something. I feel like I’m close but I’ve been feeling a little bit tired lately.”
“Ah, yes, yes. I don’t like it when that happens because it feels like you’ll lose your progress once you take a break.”
Lacey grumbles that she agrees.
“Still, if you lose your concentration because of an injury, it’s a no-brainer, right? The success rate will be higher if you eat and sleep well and challenge yourself when you are in the best condition. My sisters taught me that.”
“Yeah. It would be, but…”
Let’s convince her enough so that she doesn’t get a curious reaction in the future.
“Don’t you need to experience the difficult and painful situation to be able to use it even when you’re not in your best condition?”
Lacey opens her mouth slightly.
“Wow, you’re talking like the instructors. Are you a masochist?”
“What.”
Just laugh out loud ·······I should never get caught on the first day of my schemes.
Lacey clenched her teeth as she laughed again.
“Dan-hyeok sometimes seems very strict. Is it sincere, or ascetic, or do you feel that your standards are high?”
“Well? Is it?”
“Yes. To yourself and to others.”
What would be a good answer?
“It’s all good, so don’t overdo it. Even I will be exhausted if I see people who look like they are going to die at the start of the morning.”
Under the sunlight, her hair glistens with water. The way she pats the wide back of the seat in front with one small hand is completely tomboy.
“So, Amir. Don’t be so gloomy that you lost your place too. It’s bright and nice here too, what?”
One bear, who had not been involved in the conversation so far, stretched out and answered.
“It has to be over there, Lacey. The best place for me spiritually is over there. A place close to the gods.”
“After all, practical classes start in the afternoon at the training ground.”
“A priest must always thoroughly prepare for his seat.”
“Uh-huh, that’s why the code line is….”
Lacey folded her arms.
“But you can’t drive out a child who got here first. It’s already over today. You can try coming a little earlier tomorrow.”
I intervened.
“Tomorrow is the weekend, Lacey.”
“Anyway!”
Another noisy morning was passing by.
2 weeks from the first day of class. The three of us became a trio of people taking classes together.
Lacy, who is cheerful and popular, is a friend with a wide relationship throughout.
Amir, who is heavy and speechless, is a strange but kind guy.
Me? I am not aware of the evaluation of myself.
However, as I gradually started getting to know the other cadets, I felt that I had melted into the class.
Oh, of course. There are exceptions though.
“So, my sister said it was fairy honey and fed me, so I swallowed it.
“·················ogue.”
“Ah. That was alcohol. Its finished product is as soft as jelly.”
Sacrifice at the famous place, offerings at the ancestral rites at the tributes.
Lacey’s chatter, interrogating other people’s drinking history, pauses for a moment and then resumes.
Even without turning my head, it was obvious where the gaze of the fluttering butterfly’s wings had flowed.
The blonde girl who had an argument on the first day of class was quiet the whole time, partly because of her ugliness. It seems that over time, the group of people flocking together has formed.
Occasionally, there are times when someone is being sarcastic, but that’s it. We are getting along like cows and chickens, so nothing special happened.
It was just the right relationship, so I was rather willing.
Having a bad student is also proof of mediocreness. It will be a great camouflage shield.
Anyway, to sum it up.
We are living an extremely bright and healthy school life.
“By the way, you guys, how are your midterm exam preparations going well?”
murmur murmur. Noisy chatter.
Lunch time after the theory class.
The student cafeteria, reminiscent of a luxurious cafeteria, was decorated in beige and lime colors, and the scenery was refreshing as one wall was opened with all-glass.
While the inside of the building was soaked in the cozy sunlight, the trees dyed green outside the window looked cool.
The tray in front of Lacey is a greedy set with several thick pieces of meat laid out. It was an exciting menu with no intention of compromise.
“·······There are many teams that have received proposals.”
Amir, who answers slowly, is the opposite, his lunch is a rich mix of fragrant leaves and stems.
I also brought a plate of chubby fish with sauce, so it wasn’t as extreme as Lacey, but it looked even more unbalanced because of the pile of sugar cubes and turkey jelly.
“It’s hard to choose because the reservations are full. I’m just going to take a look at it until it settles down for a while.”
“Oh, I’m envious. You have plenty of time to choose what you want.”
If it’s surprising, it’s surprising. Amir was the most talented among us.
As a priest warrior who descends on the body of various gods, he boasted his all-round ability to respond and was strong enough to crush even a few cadets alone.
He was a pretty promising honor student for the whole grade.
I swallowed the hamburger that I was chewing in my mouth and wiped the sauce off my lips with a napkin.
“Lacy, did you say that basically there is only one knight?”
“Well, yes. First of all, what can I do with the fact that it is a tradition from my hometown? The two of us discussed it, and I think we will probably merge with another group. The leader is there.”
Lacey answered by twisting her blue hair with her fingers, but Amir suddenly opened his mouth.
“······ Dan-hyeok, are you?”
Although his expression was neither happy nor sad, his cow-like eyes contain a simple worry. It looked like he was listening carefully while pretending that he wasn’t.
The two people who practiced in a common class for two weeks now know about my skills. No, actually from the first day.
Not to mention Lacey, who sees her potential through the fairy, Amir must have guessed the words of the girl whom he argued with on the first day.
The lowest rank cadet who passed the academy with pull-ups. In the midterm exam, where five students from all grades worked as a team, he is naturally a reluctant opponent.
If there are no special circumstances, he must be guessing that he is in a position to apply for team assignment to the academy.
So let’s be honest here. This is good news.
With a dark expression…
“I have a team that I have already decided to participate in……”
“Which one?”
From pity to doubt. He enjoys the question marks floating around in that momentary silence.
The next moment, a small, sharp hand slapped my shoulder.
“Hey, you’re surprised!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha.”
At that point, my expression changed drastically. I’m sorry Lacey, but it didn’t hurt at all.
Amir nodded.
“Is it confirmed?”
“Oh, the seats are full. Next week, I will also submit the documents.”
“Who did you plan to work with?”
He smiles relatively at Lacey who is intervening next to him.
“It is a secret. You don’t know how we’ll fight later.”
“Ouch.”
Face to face with me, my blue eyes fold like a crescent moon.
“Of course, but is there no such thing as looking after each other?”
“I didn’t even want it in the first place. Of course, Amir, you too.”
“Well.”
The way he snorts is confident enough.
They are also victors who have trampled others on a fair competition.
Even with defeat in mind, he is seriously aiming for victory.
Of course, so was I. The pursuit is a sure victory.
The ten days I spent on the theme were the time I invested only for the midterm exam that would be held in a month.
Although the victory they think of and the victory I think are completely different.
Last night, I finally collected the last piece to retrieve from the theme.
***
Weekends also came to the Sky Island floating in the Pacific Ocean.
The heart of a small town with a population of tens of thousands.
Even the city where the noon sun was shining was buoyant with vitality, and only one outskirts alley was calming down the atmosphere.
It was never dark. However, surrounded by buildings on all sides, the cafe, which opened a green garden only on the inside of a wall that went deep into a narrow road, performed as if it had taken a step back from the world.
A place where the sound of a car running fast and the voices that are getting louder are dull and distant as if the windows are locked.
Although not fresh and sophisticated, Hou Rei-rei suddenly woke up from her dream in a cozy and secret space.
‘······Huh?’
There was really no other way to express it other than that she had awakened from a nightmare. Blinking her gray eyes, the girl stayed there for a moment, blankly.
“What would you like to order?”
“Huh? Uh… Cappuccino.”
“Okay. Then espresso, macchiato, cappuccino, affogato, and Einspanner. Five cups like this. Right?”
The strangest thing is that she naturally answered the questions posed by the person next to him. I had a strong intuition that I was forgetting something.
Rei-rei nodded and looked around. The feel of a soft chair supporting the body is unfamiliar.
The interior of the cafe was framed in a brown antique style that exudes a profound and old-fashioned feel.
The fragrant coffee scent permeates the nose, tickling the tip of the nose, and the classical melody gently and gracefully winds through the air.
And on a table that was smooth in dark red of mahogany, five boys and girls were sitting, including Rei-rei.
Minimizing the lighting, immersed in shadows, basking in the slanting sunlight. To a landscape approaching somewhere like an unusual one.
Rei-rei’s pupils opened wide, recognizing one of the accomplices.
‘Damian Blank! You’re a little league winner!’
This is because the boy with his long legs crossed and his chin cut was a so-called ‘fallen genius’ who once shook the world.
A boy with blonde hair like honey, eyes blue like a lake, and skin as white as milk. He was an idol of the Aryans that Hitler had praised.
It looks similar to a prince in a fairy tale, but only one thing, the characteristic that fatally distorts the gentleman’s impression, caught our attention.
It was the horns that grew thickly on the back of the ears and on both sides of the head and pierce the sky in front. The C-grade characteristic of the heterogeneous type 『Crown of the Double Horn』.
Again, Damien Blank was right. At that point, the memories slowly come to mind as if the foggy mist is lifted.
‘Okay. I was invited to the team by Damian… And why did I accept it?’
The space between the eyebrows is slightly wrinkled. Just a little bit, a little bit more, I think I’ll remember… While nervously waving his hands towards the clues he couldn’t catch.
In conclusion, it was a useless review.
How long has it been since the coffee you ordered was placed in front of you? The analog clock on the wall of the cafe showed 1:00 p.m.
‘Ah.’
Wow! It was because the lightning that hit the roof tore the wall of the fog and ate it up.
‘Ah. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!’
My whole body was convulsing.
Everyone, everyone remembered. what he swore to.
No… what was ordered to swear!

[Torn piece of note]

It wasn’t just Rei-rei.
Kudang!
“What, what…!”
The four people who had been sitting quietly and calmly until recently.
One of them was bouncing like a fish, distorting his expression in confusion. It’s like having a sweet dream and waking up after being hit by cold water.
Strangely, the other two still looked down at the mahogany table with unfocused eyes.
But more than anything else, the reason why Rei-rei’s innermost dismay ran out… was that even Damian Blank, who had invited him, was hiding in the side with embarrassment.
and.
“Come on, pay attention. 《Pay attention》.”
with a bang-! The force of the command twists his neck so that there is no room to change his attitude.
Directly towards the seat next to Rei-rei.
There was darkness.
His hair and eyes were as black as ebony. A face that looks pretty with a slightly thin body shape. A single boy who was smiling brightly.
“Hello, nice to meet you all. Is this your first time meeting like this?”
I had to instinctively realize it. This boy is in a completely different position from theirs.

However, Rei-rei was stunned. Because she remembers that voice.
Just before, that voice who asked what menu to order!
“Cheap up, you guys. I have to kill a person in the upcoming midterm exam.”
