188 – out of sync
Woowoowook——!!
The wind that started to blow in the calm snowfield became a snowstorm with the surrounding snow, and within a few hours, it became a natural disaster called a blizzard and hit the entire snowfield.
Crackle, crackle.
No matter how strong the physical ability is, someone armed with a single fur cloak and heavy plate armor is walking through a blizzard that is difficult to even open their eyes without the help of equipment.
Sabaksabak.
Footprints that are clearly stamped with each step. However, even the deeply engraved traces disappear without leaving even a trace in an instant due to the blowing snowstorm.
“Whoa… … .”
Exhausted breath, apparently belonging to a man, flowed from the helmet with the visor lowered, and he quickly lowered his body to carefully push left and right the white garbage that was rapidly accumulating. Then, at first glance, an iron plate that appeared to be frozen hard appeared.
The man moved it carefully, and then a hole large enough for two adults appeared.
“Whoa, I’m going to live for a while now.”
After entering the pit and closing the gap again with an iron plate, the man sighed in relief and took out a small lantern hidden inside his cloak to illuminate the darkness.
Crackle, crackle.
Careful not to slip, the man slowly descended with a loud noise even though the weight reduction magic was applied.
“It’s okay.”
The man who lightly jumped down from the end of the long, diagonal aisle, quickly took off the helmet he wore on his head while holding the lantern he was holding in his hand.
“Didn’t everything happen?”
“I’m going to ask you.”
Na Ju-hee, his fiancée, answered the question of Kang Seok-ho, the man, indifferently.
The relationship between the two, which began to gradually deteriorate from last year’s grade evaluation, has now become nothing more than a perfect business relationship.
“hahahaha… … . Well, it’s starting to blow a snowstorm outside now. If I had gone a little farther, I would have gotten lost.”
“If you just remember the direction you came from, that won’t happen.”
“Uh, that’s right.”
Kang Seok-ho smiled awkwardly at the cold reaction of his fiancée and cautiously approached her side. To be precise, he headed for his own tent, which was divided with a magic brazier emitting roaring heat in the center.
-You mean you didn’t see the monster?
“uh? Ah yes. There was no sign of the other students.”
-yes.
A fiancée who asks only what is necessary and is silent again.
Kang Seok-ho sighed inwardly, took off the armor he had borrowed from his father, and took out a grooming tool.
‘Haa, how can I change Juhee’s heart again?’

Rubbing his armor with a special cloth, Kang Seok-ho began to think about how to reconcile with his fiancee today, as he did yesterday.
Going up to this grade, I was able to escape from the hellish individual sparring with Hana Baek, but now that I think about it, that wasn’t a good thing at all.
It is a sparring with Baek Ha-na, who has emerged as an all-time rookie who has gone beyond the Arena Academy and has broken all previous records.
No matter how one-sidedly beaten he is, if the target is the world’s best rookie, even he will be envied by others. In fact, the image of Dongnaebuk was embedded among his classmates, but after the festival, he was transformed into an image of an ‘iron man’ who did not give up against the ‘Wolf Queen’.
‘… Shit, what’s the point of being so strong and pretending that a tail is a weakness?’
Kang Seok-ho, who had been dissatisfied with Baek Ha-na for a while, let out a long sigh and shook his head. It was because he knew for himself that his fiancée did not distance himself just because he was holding on to the tail of the opposite sex.
‘Haa, if I could really go back then, I’d break my head.’
No matter how beaten up he wanted to win, he was trying to hit the back of the head of the target who saved his life. Even thinking about it now, it’s such a shameless act that the heat builds up in my face.
Kang Seok-ho, who couldn’t come up with a good idea today, spent time in uncomfortable silence as he did yesterday, then settled for dinner with a simple meal he had prepared.
“Don’t wake me up late like yesterday, just wake me up when it’s time.”
“That, yes… … good night.”
Kang Seok-ho, who was staring blankly at the tent where his fiancée was staying, let out an unknown sigh.
When he first proposed forming a team together, he thought it was a sign of reconciliation, but he quickly realized that it was just his wish.
‘What the hell is the problem?’
Judging from the fact that he hasn’t brought up the breakup yet, he’s definitely not completely out of his mind. So it’s intermittent, but I had to find a way to close the distance again while my heart still remained.
“If you show up at the moment of crisis and save me, will you come back?”
I now know that a mere apology will not fix this relationship. Because I have already knelt down and apologized, so I can’t know.
He must have been disappointed with my cowardly appearance, so isn’t the only way to improve this cold relationship right now by showing the opposite side of him?
“… I don’t know why they made me write the pledge.”
Kang Seok-ho tapped the helmet on his lap, then slumped on the chair and murmured softly.
“If even monsters were infested, how could I draw a picture… … .”
“Why don’t you know that I’ve already eaten that thought at one point?”
“… … ?!”
Kang Seok-ho instinctively rolled forward at the bleak voice he heard right behind him.
“Uhhhhh!!”
No, I tried to roll.
Kang Seok-ho felt his mouth go dry without even realizing it.
“It’s nice to find a place like this.”
Kang Seok-ho’s eyes widen at the familiar face slowly walking out of the thick darkness.
‘student president?!’
I had expected it when I saw the shadow tying me tightly, but I couldn’t help but be surprised when I actually faced her.
“why? It is an eye called.”
Whooping- Yoon Isul approached with a different creepy smile and reached for the silver necklace hanging around Kang Seok-ho’s neck.
Fire-!!
At that moment, a huge flame rose above Yoon Isul’s head and attacked her.
“I’ve advised you before, but that level of firepower won’t pierce my shadow.”
Swoop.
A new shadow created by the flame stretched out in an instant and swallowed the flame that fell down Yun Seul’s head.
“Hey, who doesn’t know? It’s because of that idiot in front of you.”
Na Joo-hee, who came out of the tent before I knew it, glared at Yoon I-seul and her fiancé who were caught in front of her with an annoyed face.
“Why do you do this when you can just hold on for one more day?”
“Hmm.”
Yoon Iseul, who was worried for a moment at Na Ju-hee’s sharp question, nodded once.
levee.
“Geek… … .”
With a very bad sound, Kang Seok-ho stretched out.
“… He’s a jerk, but he’s my fiancé.”
“therefore? Do you want to fall out with your fiancé?”
“… … Tsk.”
Na Joo-hee clicked her tongue briefly as she looked at the shadows completely surrounding her feet.
“Don’t be so. It’s not because I like it either.”
“What about the raised corners of your mouth?”
“Whoops, it’s just a habit.”
“… Why did you attack more than that? Could it be that there is not enough food or something absurd?”
“No way.”
Yun Iseul roughly put Kang Seok-ho, who had lost his mind, on the floor and briefly explained the current situation to Na Joo-hee.
“For some reason, I couldn’t see the monster… … .”
Upon learning that there was a separate hunting group, Na Joo-hee sighed and wrinkled her face.
“Seeing you talk about that, it seems that you intend to save me.”
“What, for now?”
Squeak.
“Kuh… … ?!”
In an instant, the shadow that climbed up the body removed the silver necklace from Na Ju-hee’s neck and brought it to Yoon Isul.
Kagak!
A crack formed on the silver necklace hanging around the neck of the fainting Kang Seok-ho, and at the same time, the floor where Kang Seok-ho stretched out swayed like a swamp and swallowed Kang Seok-ho.
“Huh, then I hope I can see you with a smile on your face tomorrow.”
I waved the silver necklace in my hand once, and Yun Seul disappeared as if it melted into the darkness.
“Ugh, really unlucky… … !!”
Na Joo-hee stomped her feet for a while to get rid of her anger. And as my head gets cold again, I realize one important fact.
The presence of a thick iron plate blocking the entrance.
‘… … I don’t know, let’s go to sleep.’
With the thought of setting fire to the student council if things went wrong, Na Joo-hee went back into the tent and lay down on her sleeping bag.
**
The fourth sun rises in the snow field.
“… … .”
【… … .]
The scenery of the brightly lit snowfield was very beautiful. However, the atmosphere of the two beings looking at it was heavy.
【Ugh!! That’s why I said to make a monster!!]
The one who broke the heavy atmosphere first was Vuar, a cute-looking child.
【Verosa!! This sneaky god!!]
Voir, shouting at the God of Mercy for being cunning, jumped and jumped, glaring at a group projected in the air.
[Giving a god class artifact to an apprentice child!!]
Children wearing pure white robes engraved with cradle.
It was the apprentice priests of the God of Charity.
The seven people who succeeded in completely hiding themselves using an artifact that turned the surrounding area into a maze were eventually able to remain unnoticed by the hunting team until the end.
【Release the monsters even now… … Kkeang?!]
Vuir, who rode on Baek Woo-jin’s back, let out a loud scream and rolled on the floor at the energy of emptiness that flowed from his body.
“Open the exit.”
At the master’s command, the crystal created a rift near the surviving students.
Baek Woo-jin was flustered, then clicked his tongue briefly as he looked at the students slowly going outside through the cracks.
Originally, it was the time that should have been used solely for the growth of one hundred and one. However, I planned this test to grant the wishes of the bugs begging to be killed.
‘… … I just wasted my time.’
However, after receiving the list and checking it, I couldn’t find the name of the bug that was inciting the students to ask for a chance.
Because of that, all preparations became meaningless, and it was also the reason Baek Woo-jin did not release the monster in the crack.
【Hey, take this off!!】
“… … Sigh.”
Baek Woo-jin, who felt deeply tired from Vuir’s loud behavior, got up from his seat and disappeared into the blue light.
【It’s like a heartless existence.】
After confirming that Baek Woo-jin had completely left, Vuir jumped up and lightly brushed off the gray aura that clung to his body.
【Return to the owner.】
The gray aura that hovered around for a moment soon disappeared with the blue light.
Vuir, who had been touching his mouth where the mischievous smile had disappeared, artificially raised the corners of his mouth and muttered quietly.
【It’s been so peaceful up until now.】
Kagagaku——!!
Vuir, who was looking at the space that was suddenly collapsing, became light and disappeared, leaving behind an unknown smile.
