“Sir, are you really buying beef for the unity competition?”
“yes. It is shot with Korean beef.”
Upon Eunseo’s suggestion, the principal and the vice-principal talked about it and gave Minha 100 points and Jaehyun 50 points, a total of 150 points.
I thought it would be good if I didn’t go to training because I was only in the last place, but I ended up in the top class.
The best class is given various benefits, among which is 1 million won for class management expenses.
Of course, considering the students’ eating habits and the wicked price of Korean beef, 1 million won is no big deal, but it doesn’t matter.
They protected the two weeks of the golden summer vacation, but you can buy as many Korean beef as you like.
In any case, there is also a separate prize money for teachers.
To be honest, after Master left, interest in the profession of teaching had cooled a bit.
I actually thought about quitting… .
Besides, these days, Sejin was so worried about the problem that he couldn’t even pay attention to the kids properly.
Of course, it’s not just because the kids feel sorry for me going to training.
Because Eunseo said earlier that she came up with this while looking for a way to go to the unity competition together.
But no matter what the motive, it’s really touching.
“Sam, have a good vacation. See you on the 10th.”
“OK. Everyone get some rest.”
Like these cute guys.
I’ll have to see if I can rent something like a yacht as well as Korean beef.
It feels like a party on board. Yes, I buy expensive fireworks and set them off in the evening.
I want to create unforgettable memories.
“Do you like Mr. Kang?”
“hahahaha… . I didn’t even think about it, but it worked out well.”
“Shouldn’t you buy me a drink? I’m fine today.”
“Oh, I have a prior appointment today… . I’ll buy you a drink after school starts.”
“Ah, that was just what I said. Well, you know that a promise is a promise, right?”
“Yes. Have a good vacation.”
“Have a good vacation too, Mr. Kang.”
Anyway, I really can’t stop Mr. Park.
I looked at the students leaving the school like a swarm of ants before returning to the dormitory.
It’s really nice that I didn’t go to the training, but thinking about meeting Sejin tonight makes me feel helpless.
It’s not like this here, but to have a little more time to think, I took a demon gyesu leaf out of my wallet and tore it up.
Your vision changes in an instant.
It was unfamiliar at first, but now I am very familiar with this place.
I arrived at the camper at once using Blink, but I can’t see Kainakhan or Luciel.
Are you still researching?
Sejin went home 10 days ago, so 10 months here. Almost a year has passed.
However, Luciel’s magic research is still ongoing.
They help me every time I come in between, but even if I ask what kind of magic it is, they don’t even explain it.
If it took this long and continued to fail, I would have told you out of shame… .
Well, that’s not what’s important right now.
Still, when I go up to the demon tree to say hello, I see Luciel crouching down and drawing a magic circle.
“I am here.”
-Did you come early? I don’t think it’s even been a week.
I was here until six this morning, and now it’s eleven, so it must have been six days.
“You said you would come early. Shall we start right away?”
-no. I think I still need to do some more editing. You will definitely succeed this time.
“I think you’ve heard that a hundred times already?”
―No, it’s really over now.
“That said about two hundred times… .”
―Do you want to keep choking?
“What kind of magic is this? It will soon be over a year since we started our research, isn’t it time to inform you?”
– I’ll let you know if it’s successful. I’m out of my mind, so go away.
Anyway, I had to think about how to respond to Sejin, so I was just leaving, but Luciel suddenly grabbed me.
“what? Are you done editing already?”
-no. If you still come, I’ll give you a chocolate bar.
If anyone sees it, you’ll know it’s been entrusted to you.
I was about to say something, but I just took out a chocolate bar and returned to the camper.
Now that my nose has grown to three, I have no time to argue with him.
I can think about it for about a week if I’m here, but can I come to a conclusion by then?
To have a headache.

After the morning raid, I came out of the portal and headed to a nearby restaurant.
“Everyone listen while eating. We talked about it in the morning, but you know that some of our team are going to support Team 1 in the afternoon, right?”
“Deoksu, Seonjae, and Wooram, didn’t the three of us decide to go?”
“I got a call from Team 1, and they asked me to send B-rank hunters as an experience since there are plenty of people in the room. Two more can go, do you have any applicants?”
“Me.”
“Excluding wizards. Gyuri, if you fall out, there will be only two of us wizards. Team 1 also said to ask for the avant-garde… How are you Sejin?”
Normally, I would have applied unconditionally to meet the A-rank screening conditions, but not as much as today.
Attacking an A rank portal takes at least 8 hours.
“Sejin, I can’t because I have an appointment tonight.”
“I asked Sejin, Hyunjung why are you? What, did you two decide to go to a club?”
“Lee Hyun-jung, don’t bring bad stains on our naive maknae.”
“What do you think I am doing badly?”
“that’s right. And I guess not today. sorry.”
“Sorry, it’s hard when the youngest, the ace, is left out.”
“yes. Well, no need to be sorry. Then let’s go with Minsik and Taegyu.”
Hyeonjeong unnie squints her eyes at me.
After the meal, I came to the cafe with Hyun-jung because I was taking a break until 1:00.
As soon as I order a coffee and sit down, Hyun-jung unnie pulls a chair and sits down.
“The team leader doesn’t even notice, it’s D-Day today. how?”
“Whatever… I’m honestly not looking forward to it.”
“What are you talking about?”
“If you were going to accept it, I don’t think you would have put it off like this. The cat didn’t work either… .”
My sister said that she could make her come over in one room unconditionally, so she accepted the shame and did it, but the teacher looked surprised rather than happy.
“That’s because mom suddenly came and said that. Why do you think so negatively?”
“… I’m not confident. There has been no contact since that day.”
I sent a text message to confirm the appointment time again today, but there is no answer.
It must have ended early because it was a vacation ceremony… .
“Hmm, if I thought I would refuse, I would have already refused. I asked you to do something you didn’t have, but you said you would give me an answer saying I knew your feelings, right?”
“But… .”
“Isn’t it because Hunter Kang Shin-hyeok needs time to organize his thoughts?”
“Yes?”
“Isn’t it easy to suddenly see me as a woman after thinking of myself as a student? Even when the media asked if they were dating, they said no.”
“Yes… . Hey, unnie, I found out that cats are something only between lovers… .”
“Oh, sorry about that part. I gave that advice because I thought you Sejin and Hunter Kang Shinhyeok had some feelings for each other… Well, you didn’t reject it right away, did you?”
My sister speaks positively, but she is afraid.
If the teacher refuses, isn’t it going to be difficult to approach her? .
Wouldn’t it be better to keep the same relationship as it is now?
That’s why I asked you to forget… .
“Have confidence. It’ll turn out okay. Hunter Kang Shin-hyeok, what… You have a lot of money, you have skills, and you have a good-looking face, but Se-jin doesn’t lack you either. Sejin, you are also attractive enough.”
“Thank you for your support.”
“Don’t worry too much, it will be fine. Did you write your annual leave tomorrow?”
“Ah yes.”
“I hope for good news.”
He responded with a shy laugh.
I really wish it was like that.

A week had already passed.
Of course, it must have only been about six hours outside.
In fact, Luciel asked me to help me with magic research, so I didn’t have time to think properly even when I came here.
However, this time he didn’t call me as much as before, so I had quite a bit of time to think.
Thanks to that, even if it’s not perfect, I’ve finished organizing it to some extent.
It’s time to go, so I came out of the camper to talk, but I see only Kainakan and no Luciel.
“Is Luciel still editing the magic circle?”
―Yes, what. to go? If you have any jerky… .
I gave him beef jerky from time to time to take care of Luciel every time, but he seems to have fallen in love with it.
I took out the beef jerky using subspace magic and headed to the hill of the demon tree where Luciel was.
-I’m here? I was just about to call.
“Are you done editing?”
-Yeah, it’s really perfect now.
“Yes, yes. Let’s do it next time. It’s time for me to stop.”
-Help me once and go.
… I would fail again anyway.
I was going to ask if I could do it next time, but I couldn’t bear it when I saw the desperate expression that wasn’t like a guy.
“Okay, let’s get started.”
Now go to the familiar location and Sunny Luciel moves to the middle of the magic circle.
I inject my energy according to his signal… huh?
It’s not like I’m injecting it, it feels like the magic circle itself is sucking my energy out of me.
By the time I got a slight feeling of Danjeon, the magic circle glowed blue, and a white glow began to gather in the center.
It’s kind of like a limit.
But this time, the statement that it was completely fixed was not a lie. Unlike before, the atmospheric flow is stable and the light is getting stronger.
In this state, I thought there would be no explosion, so I poured all my energy into it without leaving any leeway.
I was going to say it was impossible now, but the white light in the center grew bigger and bigger and wrapped around Luciel as if the magic had succeeded.
It is not a dazzling or hot light, but a warm and sacred feeling.
It was so amazing that I even forgot the pain and exhaustion of the short circuit.
The light faded little by little, and Luciel appeared.
Surprisingly, nothing has changed.
“Are you failing again?”
-no. Success this time
At the same time as he spoke, he came up to me and hugged me tightly.
He collapsed as he had no strength in his body.
“I-over there… I know it’s good to be successful, but I’m dying right now because it’s hard? get out of the way It’s heavy.”
―My, if I am heavy, how heavy is it?
“It’s like a mountain weighing me down… 100 million!”
This bad guy kicks people after helping them with their best.
When you go into the bathroom and when you come out, it’s different… .
-Don’t be silly, stay the way you are.
Suddenly it comes to me… His face is so close that it’s burdensome.
“What are you trying to do? You are too close.”
– Please stay still. It hurts if you move.
I thought my breath would stink at this distance, so I kept my mouth shut, but then he put a necklace around my neck.
“What is this?”
―A gift to celebrate success in magic. Never take it off in the future.
What kind of gift is this all of a sudden?
Looking down at the necklace, I saw a silver-gray string and a blue jewel with a white light in the center.
The design is also quite good and there is nothing uncomfortable about it.
“Suddenly, what gift? Tell me what kind of magic it is.”
―It will take some time to explain, okay? You said it was time to go.
At his words, I took out my phone and checked the time.
No, even if I go back and start now, I think I’ll be late by car, so I’ll have to use warp magic.
“I have to stay here while I recover my energy anyway, so explain it briefly.”
– You’ll find out when you leave.
Guy Luciel says with a long-awaited smile… how anxious
