36. Confrontation with Jung Ji-yoon, secretary of True Apostles (1)
An Yu-min was training in a special training room.
The midterm exams were over, but I couldn’t get caught up in the excitement of the campus.
The goal of becoming a hero is still the same.
Recently, with the Aegis members, I went to hero activities twice.
Compared to high school days, the number of times has decreased by more than half.
Instead, the risk of participating dungeons and arresting villains has doubled.
That means that An Yu-min and Aigis’ skills are recognized.
In fact, in the midterm dungeon evaluation, Aegis’ party performance was second.
An Yu-min also ranked second in his personal record, so it is already a class that cannot be compared to ordinary cadets.
Currently, An Yu-min’s hunter license is C+ grade.
As it is, if you go through the actual combat experience you have now and the actual combat in the contaminated area until the final exam.
It was not strange to receive a new hunter license with a different social image.
Right away, to the same B class as the current student council president Jo Ah-rin.
So recently, An Yu-min was investing more time in training than before the midterm exam.
Weiyiying-
A very spacious special training room.
Basically, it is a place with a very wide space.
And it contains the essence of special magic stone engineering, so you can train to your heart’s content without adjusting your strength.
So, the atmosphere surrounding An Yu-min was rapidly cooling.
A signature skill that has been used so far.
Instead of the ice sword, Frozen Blade, he was trying to create a new skill.
Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep
“Whoa…”
However, the movement of that mana soon stopped.
Perhaps the smart watch sensed her mana draining rapidly.
Feeling a bit tired, An Yu-min sat down on a nearby bench and took a short break.
“As expected, the mana movement, which is different from the existing concept, is fatigued…”
But that wasn’t the only reason I felt tired.
Lately, An Yu-min has been dreaming often.
A dream close to a nightmare, not an ordinary dream.
“Why did you have such a dream…”
It was an unbelievable dream.
In the dream, An Yu-min was transformed into a villain instead of a hero.
He wasn’t even an ordinary villain.
A villain with a very dangerous power enough to create a severe cold in a city.
In the center of the city, An Yu-min was laughing out loud as if he was really happy watching people freeze to death.
– Kkeuk! Inferior people who can’t survive in this level of cold…
There was a strong sense of heterogeneity in the dream, to the point that I thought I was a different person for a moment.
In the midst of the heavy snow, the way her hair fluttered was unrealistically beautiful.
Even the bewitching expression of smiling eyes that were dyed with madness.
However, at the same time, it felt so scary that it gave me goosebumps.
‘If such a dangerous villain appeared in reality…’
A level that can create a natural disaster by itself is a transcendental level.
Among the monsters, demons were said to be the most dangerous.
That too was comparable to the demon nobles.
With those great demons that even today’s S-class hunters can’t handle.
This is a scene from Ahn Yu-min’s dream.
‘Maybe I’m too sensitive.’
But it’s just a nightmare.
There is no such thing as a nonsense like that.
I know that there is always a voice in her heart whispering in her heart.
Still, he won’t be the villain himself.
‘If that happens… it’s really over with Lee Jun-woo.’
Junwoo Lee.
An Yu-min still couldn’t give up on her first love.
Of course, I know that going back to the way it was before is now impossible.
Everything was the fault of the self who was blinded by jealousy.
So I had to hold on tighter.
After the midterm dungeon evaluation.
Lee Jun-woo’s evaluation went up very high in Theia.
‘Because I recorded MVP.’
It means that there is a possibility of paying attention to him, whether in the Hunter Association or in Valhalla’s Apostle.
It’s like taking the most standard course to become a hero.
If the path is the same, there will definitely be something to do with Lee Jun-woo again.
‘I have to do my best from now on.’
It may take some time.
In the meantime, there is already another girl he likes, and he may be separated from him forever.
However, the scariest thing is to become a person who Lee Jun-woo does not have forever.
‘okay. If not…’
Except for that 0 relationship.
Perhaps one day I will have a chance to start anew with him.
An Yu-min now was desperate for Lee Jun-woo to that extent.
Again, he could not destroy the relationship with his own hands.
‘Hana Choi… I can see other women again.’
No matter how many women hang around him.
Now, I didn’t have to interfere in the slightest.
It was really painful though.
It was the price for the sins he had committed.
“Ugh…”
That was the moment.
An Yu-min felt a sudden headache and put his hand on his head.
A premonition right before the voice of the heart speaks to her.
An Yu-min desperately focused her mind.
Just like now, thinking of other girls around Lee Jun-woo.
It was too risky.
‘Again… thinking about that dream.’
And I remembered another dream, not the one I had just a moment ago.
A special room full of mirrors.
The dream that was trapped there.
Countless scenes were playing in those hundreds, no, thousands of mirrors.
Memories of those high school days when I was happy with Lee Jun-woo.
A dream so sweet that I don’t want to wake up.
In that dream, I couldn’t even hear the voice in my heart.
Because Lee Jun-woo, reflected in the mirror, was always looking only at himself.
My headache subsided as I thought of the scenes in the mirror.
At the same time, I think that those happy days are a thing of the past that will never come back.
‘I miss you. I miss you. I miss you.’
Although countless mirrors were shattered, it hurt as if they were stabbing her heart.
‘no. It’ll be a competition soon. I must not lose to Lee Jun-woo this time… the future opportunity…’
Just when I thought I would end the training like this in the end.
An Yu-min saw Lee Jun-woo entering the special training room.
***
The special training room was a little different from what I thought.
It was as described in the original work that it was a very wide space.
The air was completely different.
“Wow… why is it so cold?”
Jung Si-woo, who entered the training room together, said.
Every time he spoke, his breath came out.
The air inside the training room was cold, as if we were in the middle of a snowy mountain in the middle of winter.
Literally a special training room.
Although the cadets could create any dungeon conditions they wanted.
The place where the party entered was a common space.
‘You said there is a separate space where you can adjust the environment like that, other than the common space. huh?’
But I quickly recognized the cause of this cold.
“Lee Jun-woo?”
A female cadet recognized me and started talking to me.
Because An Yu-min was here.
‘I wonder if he was training the power of freezing.’
When any Awoken person activates that power, mana with that attribute is released to the surroundings.
However, it was not common to emit mana strong enough to instantly cool this vast space.
I met An Yu-min’s eyes.
“……”
An Yu-min’s brown eyes trembled.
She was wearing a tight training suit.
However, I couldn’t even look at that outfit, only An Yu-min’s face.
Perhaps, in the center of the cold air created by her authority.
An Yu-min’s face felt very beautiful.
I was puzzled.
‘Absolute composure must be working.’
I shouldn’t have felt any emotions toward An Yu-min.
Of course, I couldn’t even think of her as pretty.
I sneakily checked the reactions of the two people who came with me.
The two were also staring at An Yu-min’s face, as if possessed by him.
It’s not surprising that Jung Si-woo seems to like women quite a bit.
Even Lim Jae-ho was staring at An Yu-min.
‘Im Jae-ho is a werewolf, so he must not be interested in human women.’
Tulkyong-
But the chill around him disappeared.
An Yu-min, who met my eyes, panicked and eventually ran out of the special training room.
When An Yu-min disappeared, the two came to their senses.
“Is the air conditioning system broken here? The air conditioner was kept on the lowest temperature or…”
“I don’t think so. Perhaps An Yu-min was practicing the powers of the ice attribute.”
Siwoo Jung and Jaeho Lim said.
The eyes of the two seemed to be back as usual.
‘What was it a moment ago?’
An Yu-min had already left this place.
I kept thinking of her.
‘Well, the answer must be with me.’
If the power of absolute equanimity has fallen.
As expected, the same thing must have happened at the hotel that winter.
It means that An Yu-min was unconsciously releasing the villain’s energy.
My head was busy with that fact.
‘It must be proof that the story is unfolding at an abnormal speed.’
In the original work, at least towards the end of the midterm exams of the second semester of the first year, the rice cake about the Hotel of Mirrors begins to be actively resolved.
As I experienced, there was no direct evidence that An Yu-min and Villain were related.
Like I’ve been having strange dreams lately.
The change of An Yu-min was mentioned in the original work.
‘And at that point, the True Apostles’ cadets also started entering the Hotel of Mirrors.’
If so, now the development is quite different from the original.
There is a possibility that the elite cadets, including Yun Gun-woo, may have already entered the Hotel of Mirrors.
‘That’s troublesome.’
He had to approach Theia Academy’s secrets faster than anyone else.
Even if it was the other guys, the secret could not be stolen from the True Apostles, who were no different from Song Yoo-hwan’s minions.
Somehow, it seemed that sooner or later, he would have to create an opportunity to enter the Mirror Hotel with An Yu-min.
‘In the original work, you reach the 50th floor at the end of the first year. I have to hurry up that floor.’
The starting point for An Yu-min and I was on the 10th floor.
Even if, by chance, the True Apostles entered the Mirror Hotel.
It was definitely me who was still able to afford it.
‘Because according to the original story, they will enter from the first floor.’
[An event with the main character An Yu-min has been formed.]
And it seems that the meeting a little while ago brought about some change in An Yu-min.
interaction has occurred.
The moment I read the description of the event, I figured out how to re-enter the Mirror Hotel.
‘For now, think about that later.’
But now it’s time to focus on the sparring with Lim Jae-ho.
At that time, Jeong Si-woo, who came to his senses belatedly, shouted.
“Was An Yu-min originally that pretty? Oh right! Come to think of it, not too long ago, during a TV broadcast on Seongnyeo, that brother Geon-wu paid a large amount of money for An Yu-min’s share…”
It was a little bit like saying nothing.
I paid attention to what Jeong Si-woo said.
‘Geonwu older brother.’
A viewer who is known as a very big hand on Tka TV these days.
And I already guessed the guy’s identity.
It is definitely Yun Gun-woo.
It means that he also started to take an interest in An Yu-min.
‘I’ll have more things to do with Yun Gun-woo in the future.’
No, it wasn’t that much, it was just as strong as a mid-boss.
I said looking at Lim Jae-ho.
“Then let’s start sparring. We can’t lose against the True Apostles even in a match.”
At my words, not only the two of them, but also the cadets in the special training room paid attention to me.
In the first place, it is impossible to enter unless it is a high class cadet.
Among them, there were definitely members of the True Apostles.
A cold gaze from a female cadet reached me.
