230 – Seosun
Drin, Kasha, Aedrin, Miz, Hwivien.
Recently, they have been having a difficult day, unable to feel at ease even for a single moment.
A large-scale invasion by Harasin and the Black Root Church.
Thanks to Ceylon, which was based in Arien and regularly removed weeds, the Academy was peaceful even during the Great Invasion, but that made the disasters occurring elsewhere feel even more shocking.
This place is so peaceful.
My hometown is being stained with fire and blood?
I just wanted to go back to my hometown after a month and give my strength.
However, in a global scale invasion, what they could do as newbies was very limited.
Moreover, it was obvious that if he escaped the safety of the academy and became a target of warlocks and assassins, he would only be a hindrance rather than a help.
I was anxious and frustrated.
“In the meantime, even the idiot suddenly disappears… “
Sniff.
Aedrin spoke with a face barely holding back tears.
From the previous Academy attack incident, they knew how bold Ceylon becomes when he moves against them as a true Harassin.
He suddenly disappeared before the great invasion.
To make matters worse, it’s a huge shock.
I’m worried about making things worse.
The worries and hardships they experienced were twice what other academy cadets felt.
“How many times has this happened to disappear without a word? Is this the bad guy you only heard about? As I’ve heard, it really shakes people’s hearts mercilessly. Bower men aren’t this obscene either.”
After hearing Miz’s words, Whivien actively added a compliment from the side.
What kind of man is that bad?
That’s just a lousy man.
How attractive are really bad men?
There is no need to worry about a man like that!
So I wasn’t worried at all!
At that, Kasha, who was burying her body in Ceylon’s seat, burst into laughter.
“Oh, Miss Leolian, you seem to know a lot about bad men – that is, men. Looking at your grades, you must have been busy studying. When on earth have you ever met so many men? “As expected, you are amazing.”
Hot.
Hwivien, who couldn’t say she had met all those men in romantic novels, crossed her arms and gave a somewhat stiff, smug smile.
“Okay, of course. How popular am I in social circles? A situation where men attending social gatherings are anxious to dance with me. Hanahan, you can’t even imagine someone like you, can you?”
As Hwivien spoke, he glanced at Ceylon’s gaze.
The jealousy-inducing system that we vaguely learned from romantic novels was revealed.
“Oh. I can’t believe you have so much experience with men. You are so amazing. “I guess I started to admire it.”
Of course, it was impossible.
Kasha interrupted her by teasing her with her signature cynical expression.
“… Well, there is a risk of misunderstanding in your expression, so could you please be more careful? And. You want to find fault with me even in situations like this!? Are you really trying to side with that dirty man!?”
Hwivien, unable to bear his embarrassment, went into angry mode and squealed.
Are you familiar with this kind of exchange now? Kasha says, shrugging her shoulders casually.
“That’s not it. Lady Leolian is being dishonest, so I don’t even know?”
“So, you can’t be honest. “I don’t know what you’re talking about all of a sudden!”
Shock!
Hwivien, who was stabbed somewhere, made an awkward and shameless appearance.
“If you want to say you weren’t worried at all, why don’t you start by doing something about the dark circles under your eyes?”
As Kasha said.
Whivienne, who had never neglected her self-care, was noticeably disheveled.
Rubby hair, as if it had been roughly washed and dried.
Rubbly skin.
Under the eyes.
A costume that seems to have only a basic assortment of clothes.
It was an unconventional style that could be pulled off because it was Hwivien.
“It’s all about dark circles… ?”
Whivienne was startled and touched the area under her own eyes.
Apparently, she forgot to look in the mirror and redecorate her outfit.
“Hey, Instructor Ceylon. Aren’t you treating women too harshly? Lady Leolian. “He hasn’t slept for the past few days and has been waiting under your dormitory window.”
“… !”
How to do that-
Hwivien was startled by Kasha’s words and quickly looked at Ceylon’s notice.
“Oh, no!”
Seeing them like that, Ceylon just smiled brightly.
It’s the most lively atmosphere I’ve experienced in a long time.
“What is it? What about that expression? So proud!!! “It’s not what you think!?”
By this time, Hwivien was so embarrassed that he was almost on the verge of tears.
“hahahaha, of course. Of course it’s not my mistake, right? “I don’t know what it is.”
“Profit-“
For a moment, Ceylon teased Whivien for her pleasure.
I looked at their faces, including her Whivienne.
In fact, it wasn’t just Whivien who was out of sorts.
None of the five people looked like their usual perfectly well-maintained self.
It doesn’t seem like there’s any problem since the beauty of the original version is faithful to it.
Just looking at their condition, they looked haggard than the researchers who had stayed up all night for several days.
“I’m glad though, Ceylon. “I am relieved that you came back safely.”
Even the delin looked disheveled and smiled weakly at Ceylon.
Hwivien wasn’t the only one who couldn’t sleep at night.
Ceylon felt a twinge of guilt in her heart.
Somehow, it seemed like I was only causing them trouble these days.
In that respect, it could be said to be fortunate.
This time, there was at least a cause.”
“Everyone, I’m sorry for disappearing without saying a word.”
“This time too!”
“hahahaha. “You were very worried, right?”
“I wasn’t worried!?”
“I wasn’t worried.”
Kasha and Hwivien turned their heads at the same time.
“hahahaha, no problem. What’s the point of worrying about a guy like me? “That’s not what I’m talking about.”
?
Then what is it?
Just wait for a question mark to appear above their heads.
“… “
I looked at Ceylon with a look of wonder on my face.
“Ceylon, no way…”
Drin’s calm atmosphere collapsed.
And yet, she was the most calm of them all.
Drin spoke on behalf of her five people and raised a question that had been on her mind for the past few days.
“Could it be that you are the one who solved this problem…?”
The invasion of darkness has only just begun.
The entire continent joined hands and put their heads together to find a way to overcome the situation, but no answer was found.
All we can do is hold on.
The situation will get worse and worse.
You must hold firm.
Even if there is no end to the darkness.
It was a bleak situation that perfectly fit the idiomatic expression that the future is bleak.
A ray of light that suddenly bloomed penetrated such a gloomy situation.
Yesterday evening.
Good news was heard from a corner of Daeruk.
The darkness has retreated.
All in one place.
In another place.
And in another place.
And all at once.
Why did the darkness, which had continued its offensive with a successful invasion, suddenly retreat?
This is an internal conflict between Harashin and the Black Root Church.
The demons they serve have turned against them.
A variety of testimonies and speculations abounded, but no significant answer was found.
However, they, including Drin, were quite different.
They seemed to know the answer for some reason.
Ceylon suddenly disappeared.
And the situation was resolved like a lie.
The series of situations was now familiar.
Grin.
That meaningful smile too.
Yesterday, the academy cadets were able to sleep peacefully for the first time in a very long time.
They were different.
Because there were still things to worry about.
The worry was finally resolved and the tension that had been building up for several days was finally relieved.
“Ha…”
“Miss Teln, are you okay?”
“I feel like my legs have lost their strength…”
Adeline collapsed in her seat, making a sound of deflation, clinging like a sloth to Miz, who supported her.
Kasha, who was stiff as if she was sitting on a transparent chair, finally surrendered herself to her chair.
Drin and Hwivien went to their seats and leaned down.
“hahahahaha… Really… What is this…”
The sound of Aedrin cooing was heard comfortably.
There was a pleasant silence in the place for a while.
“So.”
Miz, who looked like she had almost been eaten by a mushroom named Ade Lin, looked up at her Ceylon and asked.
“Is it all over now?”
“Um…That’s it.”
How should I bring this story out?
Ceylon said to them, scratching the back of her head with a shy smile.
“Actually, there is something I need your help with.”
Jump up!
Aedrin, who was clinging to Miz and almost melting, burst out of her seat with energy.
“Yes! I will help you! Let me help you!!!”
Boom! Humming! Her invisible tail seemed to be wagging violently.
“You need Bowler’s help? Is the situation that serious?”
“Great Ceylon needs our help. I can’t even imagine what it must be like.”
“Really. What is it? Tell me. I’ll listen first.”
“We will do our best to be of help to the Ceylon Army.”
The other four people’s reactions were generally similar.
They have suffered from a terrible feeling of helplessness over the past few days.
With their hometown and family in danger and Ceylon disappearing again, there was nothing they could do.
I just can’t sleep and pray that they are safe.
Therefore, Ceylon’s request for help felt like a kind of salvation to them.
“It may be a bit too much to ask, but…”
“No! Any request is fine, so feel free to say it!”
Boom! Humming!
Aedrin approached right in front of Ceylon.
I looked at him with sparkling, raised eyes.
“hahahaha, then I’ll tell you despite my shame. If you don’t mind-“
How should I say this?
Ceylon chose his words for a moment and then spat them out.

“Will you achieve remarkable growth from now on?”
“…”
Why?
The women, who were willing and ready to comply even if it meant risking their lives, tilted their heads at the unexpected request.
