18. first war (1)
After Monday’s class, I entrusted Master with buying and selling precious metals and items brought from the Devil’s Castle, and asked Master to purchase elixirs with the sales.
I thought it would take quite a while since I had to sell and find elixirs, but the call came back in less than a day.
The meeting point was the park in front of the dormitory in the middle of the night.
“Are you Choi Kang-jun?”
“… … uh, yes.”
I blinked at the pink-haired elf.
Assistant to the vice president, Eliana Andersen.
He was a cadet who never deviated from the top of his grade and was a talented person trusted by his teacher Lee Chung.
‘I’ve run into them once or twice in my previous life.’
Back then, I didn’t have a good feeling, so it was a strange feeling to meet like this.
No, maybe it’s awkward that her hair, which should have been naturally blonde, was dyed hot pink.
As I seemed to be staring at my head, Eliana cleared her throat and answered.
“Hmmm, I am an assistant to the vice president in name and reality. If you are caught having a tryst with someone at night, it will harm your reputation.”
“… … So he disguised himself like this.”
“Yes, it is.”
The representative match was on Wednesday, so the sooner you received the elixir, the better.
However, it wasn’t to the extent that I had to receive express delivery on the same night.
Well, in any case, it’s something to be thankful for.
There was no need to offend her, so I kept my mouth shut.
All he had to do was thank Lee Cheong and Eliana for caring about him in many ways.
“You work hard at night.”
“It was nothing. Now, this is what the Vice President ordered me to deliver. Let’s check it out.”
When I saw the box coming out of Eliana’s arms after saying that, my heart started pounding.
‘Yes, this is a tryst, what is a tryst?’
Well, it was a scene closer to smuggling than a hot scene of affair or lover.
In any case, it wasn’t illegal, and I had absolutely nothing to worry about.
However, it seems that it was not for Eliana, the faithful right-hand man of the vice president.
“Someone is here!”
As soon as she sensed a secret presence from afar, she immediately hugged me.
The soft touch of an elf covering your entire body.
Finally, I hugged her like a lover and protested with my eyes wide open.
‘What if our elixir gets hurt?’
‘… … sorry.’
With the rustling bushes on one side behind us, we moved.
I was finally able to fully face the appearance of the box containing the elixir.
“… … Oh clothes!”
That the elixir was handed over legally, that was the only story.
However, when I thought of Eliana’s sincerity in wearing a pink wig, I wondered if it was a problem that could be dismissed so lightly.
He was very sincere. After thinking for a while, I made up my mind.
“… … Why is my sister… I’m trying to touch my sister… … ”
I had to somehow deal with the sleeping elf who fell asleep and fainted and ran away.
It seems that there was some strange misunderstanding, but at this rate, strange rumors started to spread.
I picked up the terminal and made a call.
“Yes, this is the emergency room. There’s a cadet who passed out in the back of the cafeteria here, but-”
As soon as I confirmed the ambulance was coming, I ran away.

After dealing with the fainted Eleanor, I went back to the restaurant and ate with Chun Yu-ha.
Of course, Cheon Yu-ha asked where Eleanor was, but she pretended to be anemic.
After finishing all the remaining afternoon lectures, I finally returned to the dormitory.
Somehow, I feel like the day has been long.
There were actually many incidents, but maybe it was because there were things in the drawer.
Because I’ve been waiting for this moment to be alone all day.
I took out the neck glove I had hidden in the bedroom drawer and swallowed dry saliva.
“… … Wouldn’t it be more efficient to eat at the seniority room?”
But I couldn’t stand it any longer, so I compromised with the seniority room in the dormitory.
I sat cross-legged on the support bench and set the wooden box down on the floor.
He swallowed once more and opened the box, and the fragrant smell unique to the elixir spread in all directions.
Eventually, I picked up the elixir that the box had been keeping, Shaolin’s Summoning Team.
“… … Master, I love you.”
Master said that he would send an upper-middle-class elixir, but it was the most famous elixir among those that could be attached to middle ranks.
It was a story that had nothing to do with the fact that the Iljin who fought not long ago was a monk of Shaolin Temple.
How big of a realm this would give me, that was the only thing that mattered.
I glared at the summoning team, then put it in my mouth and chewed and swallowed it.
Then, he performed Daejucheon (大周天) so that the energy of the miracle could circulate throughout his body.
How long has it been since then?
“… … Ahh!”
I peaked.
***
wednesday.
The long-awaited day has arrived.
“In the end, how many participants are there?”
All the members of the 101st Korea Fellowship Association, including myself, who had digested the mediocre timetable, gathered at the student hall.
If it was long, it was long, if it was short, it was to end a short conflict.
[Hwangguk VS Korea Hyangwoohoe]
representation.
A one-on-one duel by selecting three representatives from each club.
Among them, our number of participants was as follows.
3rd place in combat.
Cheon Yu-ha, the minor leader of the Heavenly Demon Church.
Combat Division 12th.
Kim Gap-soo, later called the swordsman
Combat Division 298th.
Choi Kang-jun, it was me.
I thought it was a reasonable decision in many ways as I understood all the powers, but-.
“No, why is he competing! You’re almost the last kid! Wouldn’t it be better for Jisoo or I to leave?”
There is also the opposite.
I looked at the male student who suddenly raised his fever with cold eyes.
I don’t know the name of that thing, but it seems that the entrance grade was in the middle or lower ranks.
Judging by the mention of Kim Ji-soo, who is ranked 167th, it must be roughly similar.
Contemplating what to say, I swallowed my words when I saw the giant striding forward.
Kim Gap-soo, who is currently serving as the president of the 101st Korea Hyangwoo Association, said firmly.
“Kangjun is strong. Maybe on par with me.”
“Hmm?”
“… … Oh oh!”
What is it, Kim Kap-soo, that guy had never seen me fight, so I didn’t know why he said that.
Cheon You-ha, who was beside me to let go of my anger, was more than happy to hear those words.
To the point where I couldn’t contain my excitement.
“okay! I mean, Kang Jun is a master who is stronger than me or similar!”
“No, even more so than the young master?!”
“… … After all, is it the secret weapon of the Demonic Cult in Korea?”
“Ohh, after all our compatriots!”
Please stop spreading strange rumors.
Hearing the secret weapon hypothesis belatedly, I felt my face heat up for no reason.
However, even the male student who expressed dissatisfaction with such an abnormal atmosphere seemed to have been persuaded.
“Was it really a secret weapon!”
“… … her.”
It seemed that this life was not enough to live as a normal person.
In any case, the number of people for the representative match was decided like that, and only the people who were going to duel went inside.
It was inevitable that only the executives of the student council would observe for the reason of ‘security’ of martial arts.
It was because it seemed like they would play cards to some extent, unlike the sword dance in class.
“Oh, you really came.”
At the same time as I heard the offending dialect, I could see the appearance of the opponent who was going to play the representative match.
A sapper who always keeps his eyes open.
My classmate and the 15th rank assassin in the Combat Division, Tadano Ansassha.
“Yo, nice to meet you!”
He smiled brightly and waved his hand, and I just ignored him with a frown on my eyes.
“… … .”
On the other hand, a woman in an undercover suit keeps her mouth shut.
Mizuki Uno, another limb of the future general Kisara Kujo, and a combat agent ranked 16th in the undergraduate ranks.
Both of them were warriors at their peak, and it was clear that they were also great talents, but in fact, they were not the ones who decided the direction of the confrontation.
“It’s finally coming together, devil b*tch.”
The purple woman, who sat alone, contemplated us leisurely.
Kisara Kujo, the vice president of the opponent’s club, the 4th rank in the battle department, and the acting shogun.
The daughter of the Kujo family, the first samurai of the kingdom, and a warrior of transcendence.
Kisara spoke with her mouth twisted.
“Today will be the day to set things right in the East.”
“… … What the hell are you talking about?”
Cheon Yu-ha, who was so suddenly provoked, twitched between her brows, but did not have the time to respond.
Kiki—because someone else came inside after us who had just entered.
“Everyone arrived on time.”
A clear, familiar voice.
My former mentor, who took on the title of Vice President of the Student Council of Seondo.
From nob le mt l. co m
Lee Chong, who served as a referee and observer for today’s representative game, clapped his hands with a smile and said,
“Everything is ready, so let’s move right away.”
There was no reason to dare to vomit at the words of the vice president, so everyone moved without saying anything.
However, right before each of them completely dispersed, only the assassin spoke smirkingly.
“If you ever meet me, please take good care of me.”
“Definitely kill.”
Recognizing my resolve, I arrived at the final waiting room and warmed up.
I had already prepared both the inside and outside of my body before coming to the student union, but this was a matter of mindset.
The determination to defeat whoever came out against him.
such an absolute will.
After waiting for so long, an announcement sound came from the speaker attached to one side of the wall.
[Cadet Choi Kang-jun, it’s your turn, so please enter the arena. ]
“… … What is your voice?”
Hearing the equally friendly voice of the elf secretary, I held back the laughter I was about to burst out and moved to the passage in front of me.
Passing through the long aisle, the sight that eventually came into view was an urban area with many tall skyscrapers.
Indeed, befitting a damn prestigious school, it was a marvelous arena.
Shaking my head, I belatedly found the electronic display board on the ceiling.
[ 1 : 1 ]
one to one.
It wasn’t talking about the number of people in the confrontation from each camp.
In less than 10 minutes, it meant that the previous two matches were over.
“… … Is the second edition already over?”
How one-sided must it be?
No, is the match made with Chun Yu-ha and Kujo Kisara crossed?
At the moment of panic, I felt a presence in the passage on the other side as well.
After reading the opponent’s temperament, I felt that the duel would not be easy.
Ttogak—ttogak—the woman who reached the arena leisurely scanned the foreground and raised her mouth.
Kisara Kujo, 4th in the combat division, said with a mocking expression.
“What, you won.”
It was a confident voice.
