“Where have you ever been beaten by an ogre?”
It was the first word the academy doctor uttered as soon as he saw my body with my shirt off.
He scatters light as if to scan my body, which was bruised and bruised here and there, and then scribbled something.
“You seem to have written your body like a piece of paper. I don’t know who he is, but he has a great sense of art.”
As if he thought it was pleasant to others, he kept throwing out absurd jokes.
As I pretended not to hear, he shrugged.
“Fortunately, there are no broken or cracked places. However, there are no bruises in any part of the body, so it will hurt a lot while sleeping or moving.”
“Yes.”
“I’ll give you three days’ worth of medicine, so take care and eat. If you don’t have enough, it’s okay to buy some painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs.”
The doctor who was muttering like that looked at me and asked with a soft gaze.
“By the way, did you say you were a first-year student?”
“Yes.”
“Such wounds are usually caused by high-density magic or the aftermath of magic, but how did it happen?”
“I do not know… … .”
When I faltered, he shrugged once more.
Then, for a while, a pure white light was projected on my shoulders, forearms, and back.
Healing magic feels like this.
This was the first time I actually got it.
“What did you say?”
When I came out after treatment, Han Soo-young, who was waiting for me, asked me.
I answered, lifting the medicine bag.
“It’s nothing. It would just be a bit annoying, so I told him to take painkillers or something.”
Even with my words, Han Soo-young did not erase her suspicions.
“Really.”
“okay… … What would it be?”
Han Soo-young let out a small sigh.
Then he spoke to me like a child.
“Why don’t you go in today, take your medicine, and get a good night’s sleep?”
“That would be a bit difficult.”
She looked at me as if there was something wrong with my words.
I replied as if nothing had happened.
“Actually, I borrowed something from the alchemy bank. I borrowed it by saying that I must return it by today, so I have to bring it back.”
“Then I’ll bring it for you.”
“It’s so expensive, so it’s a bit like that. If a problem arises for nothing, it makes each other uncomfortable.”
Han Soo-young kept her mouth shut at my continued refusal.
Then, after a while, he opened his mouth in a quiet voice.
“… Then can I go take a look? I was also interested in alchemy.”
“Well, yes.”
I couldn’t say anything more about the determined look of the guy.
I quickly went into the dorm room and put my things in my bag.
“… This is not good.”
Recalling Han Soo-young’s attitude toward me, I muttered quietly.
To be honest, I had a rough idea of what that guy was doing, but I couldn’t be sure.
I hope you have a fixed affinity.
Is it because of that?
“What do you think?”
At my question, Mandragora, who was hugging the Spirit Stone like a pillow, turned her head to this side.
The guy who always had a very disrespectful face looked at me for a moment and shook his head.
Then the flicking and shaking of the roots was as if beckoning them to go away.
“I was an idiot for asking you. You confiscated the spirit stone for two weeks.”
He shook his head wildly at my words, but pretended not to see him and walked out.
Han Soo-young was waiting for me in front of the dormitory.
And as soon as he saw me with my bag out, he snatched it away, almost as if it were taking it from me.
It didn’t seem like there was any point in arguing with her, so I just gave up and walked along with her.
It’s not that heavy, so that’s fine.
With that in mind, I was walking to a remote building with a poor alchemy.
“I’m really sorry.”
“What?”
I glanced at Han Soo-young, holding a bag with both hands and walking while looking at the ground.
“No, you got hurt because of him, Hyeonu. And that’s what I asked for.”
Han Soo-young muttered like that and sighed.
Adding a small insult to Choi Hyun-woo.
“Oh, really, why do you think I owe you all the time? From the first time we met… … .”
Han Soo-young, who said that, glanced at my face once.
I could tell she was looking at the scar on my cheek by Esmeralda Listenerger.
I reflexively reached out and touched my cheek.
‘ah.’
Then I forgot about it.
If I had said it when I was with Lee Myung-jun before, I could have erased it.
There were so many important things that I forgot.
“… … .”
And I could immediately realize that I had made a mistake.
Because of my actions, Han Soo-young immediately shut her mouth as if she was a criminal.
The two of us, who had become in a subtle atmosphere, headed to the alchemy chamber without saying a word.
The relationship between her and me was so awkward that I could feel the hard work of Hyun-woo Choi, who had been struggling to mediate or lead the conversation.
If it was Han Soo-young, he would have had an upright personality that was similar to Choi Hyun-woo, who was bold and said everything he had to say.
However, from the first meeting, she started with a feeling of indebtedness to me, so she could only see me constantly watching my eyes or being cautious about my words and actions.
To be honest, one of the most different people from my memory was Han Soo-young.
That is why I, too, had no choice but to be cautious and wary when dealing with her.
“It’s all here.”
As always, I pushed the open door of the stalemate and went inside.
And for the first time, I was able to see other students besides Cass Lyle.
“uh? It’s Jihyuk and Han Sooyoung.”
“hi. After all, you were also a member here.”
And among them was Lee Hyun-seong, a member of the same team as me.
As usual, wearing oversized glasses over his nose, he greeted us briefly and then began to transcribe something from the thick book.
I immediately received the bag from Han Soo-young.
She followed me around and looked around curiously.
“Oh, it’s you.”
Cass Lyle pretended to know me as if it was nice to see me.
I bowed my head to him too.
I didn’t feel disgust or negative emotions when I saw him anymore, probably because I had been arguing with the branch of the World Tree last time, but I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable for some reason.
Still, it was enough that I couldn’t express my feelings.
“It was really well written. Thank you, senpai.”
Cass Lyle, who was handed the device from me, began to look around with skillful hands.
Then he nodded and brought it back to where it was.
Fortunately, it didn’t appear to have been damaged or damaged.
I said I’m going to leave and bowed my head politely to him.
Because he didn’t have to stay long when he had uncomfortable feelings for nothing.
“Oh, Jihyuk.”
“Yes?”
When I stopped walking at his words calling me, he looked at me.
“Then why did you borrow the potion of purification and that device?”
There are three main uses for a potion of purification.

One is when a curse is placed on the body, mind, or object.

One is to annihilate or weaken the undead, as I used to.
Finally, the third is alcohol used in ancestral rites, which is offered to graves to commemorate or pay tribute to the souls of the dead.
“just… … What. I have work to write.”
The Undead is being watched closely by the Association or the Guild, so many heroes and hunters annihilate them before they are even called.
And in the last case, I remembered it because it was a repeated quest that I would receive over and over again if I played as Cass Lyle.
In any case, it was an item that an average academy student would not have a proper place to use, no matter where it was used.
‘It’s something that can’t do any harm to humans, so it’s going to be so simple.’
And in the first place, Cass Lyle’s personality itself was loose, except for certain parts.
In fact, when I pretended he didn’t want to talk, he just nodded his head a few times as if he knew.
“okay… … Then go well.”
With those words, we came out of the alchemy chamber.
Han Soo-young, who was following me, murmured as if asking me.
“A potion of purification?”
“uh. why?”
“Why the hell did you need that?”
The potion of purification was one of the well-known potions.
As mentioned earlier, it was one of the rare but widely used items in this world.
I answered Han Soo-young as if it wasn’t a big deal.
“just. It was of some use.”
Having said that, I quickly added.
“hey. Since we’ve come all the way here, let’s just stop by the reading club and go.”
“What?”
“Actually, I had to show my face to the archery club once. Are you okay?”
It’s not that the archery club has never been there, except for the fact that I had gone to meet Lee Ye-eun separately before.
If I make a mistake, I might be expelled like the reading club.
As I was thinking like that, Han Soo-young, who immediately noticed the situation, narrowed her eyes and looked at me.
As if asking, ‘If that’s the case, why did you listen to three clubs?’ I turned my head slightly.
“okay. let’s go.”
Han Soo-young and I headed straight to the archery club.
Perhaps because it was one of the large clubs, as soon as I opened the door and walked in, I could see many students shooting their bows or talking to each other.
Previously, there were only five or six people in the poor alchemy.
As I was thinking, someone looked at me and pretended to know me.
“what. The one I saw before.”
“hello.”
It was a girl with short hair I had seen before.
I had a hard time remembering who it was.
For the first time, she bowed her head and greeted her, and she burst out laughing.
“You don’t have to be so rigid! Did you come to see the couple?”
“Uh, it’s not really like that.”
“Ah, what is it? I thought there was something between you and the couple.”
Mumbling in disappointment, she suddenly reached out to me.
As soon as I grabbed her hand, she gently waved her hand and said with a smile.
“My name is Kang Kyung-kyung! You can call me whatever you are comfortable with, but in the club room, call me a senior if you can.”
And she added in a low voice.
“Actually, the manager or vice president is a bit strict about that. There is no need to fly out of the snow, right?”
“Yeah, what. Probably so.”
“But what is your name? It’s strange, there’s no way I can’t remember faces and names if it’s a girl from our club?”
When the arrow of conversation suddenly returned to him, Han Soo-young stuttered uncontrollably.
“Hey, my name is Han Soo-young. I’m just here for a field trip.”
“It was!”
She nodded and turned to make the way for us.
“It’s okay to go and see. Oh, come to think of it, is this the second time Jihyuk has come?”
“Yes.”
“Then I have to go to the manager or vice president and receive simple training again… … Um, strangely, you don’t seem to have anything to do with the manager. Still, the couple is there, so don’t worry too much! You’re probably shooting the bow at the furthest back over there.”
Seeing how powerful it is, it feels like all energy is being sucked out.
I nodded and headed with Han Soo-young to the place where Lee Ye-eun was shooting her bow.
Yeeun Lee was shooting the bow in a posture like a painting.
Perhaps Han Soo-young felt that way, too, and I could hear her exclaiming slightly from her side.
In the original world, I had never actually seen a bow.
If I say I’ve seen it, I’ve only seen it in dramas, movies, and games.
Come to think of it, this was the first time I saw a real bow shooter even in this world.
Ivan Hunt also uses a bow, but that guy shoots a magic bow first, so it’s different from a normal bow in many ways.
I watched her as carefully as possible while waiting for Lee Ye-eun to shoot all the arrows, but to no avail.
It also seemed to have to be learned systematically.
If I ask Professor Grossman later, maybe he will teach me.
‘I don’t have enough time just to train the dagger.’
While thinking like that, Yeeun Lee finally fired her last arrow.
She immediately turned her head and looked at us, as if she knew we were there from the start.
As I bowed my head, she looked down at me as well.
Then he looked at Han Soo-young next to me and opened his mouth.
“My name is Yeeun Lee. I am the vice president of this club. which one?”
“My name is Sooyoung Han. Here, Yoo Ji-hyuk and I are friends in the same class as a team member… … I’m just here to take a tour.”
“okay.”
Yeeun Lee nodded her head lightly.
Then he slid the bow he was holding to Han Soo-young and said.
“Then would you like to shoot?”
“yes?”
“I have the same physique as me, so it won’t be a burden. It’s not even that strong of a bow.”
“uh… … .”
Han Soo-young looked at me for a moment.
As if asking for my opinion, I didn’t think much of it.
“Why don’t you try one shot? I don’t think it will be a problem.”
“Is that so?”
Han Soo-young asked me in a rare excited voice and received the bow from Lee Ye-eun with both hands.
“Have you ever shot a bow?”
“no. Never.”
“Then let me tell you.”
With those words, Yeeun Lee stood in front of Saro with Han Sooyoung, touched her body and corrected her posture.
“First you have to look at the terrain and then you have to look at the wind. Above all, stepping is important. Don’t spread your toes too far, and don’t close them too tight. The feeling of emptying your chest and filling your stomach… … Yes, that’s good. When pushing a bow, think of pushing a rock, and when pulling a string, it’s like carefully pulling a feather… … .”
Following Lee Ye-eun’s advice, Han Soo-young’s arrow escaped the target, but flew anyway.
Ye-eun Lee smiled at this and said.
“You did really well for the first time. How many more shots would you like?”
“really? thank you.”
Was Han Soo-young interested in bows?
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t remember.
Anyway, Lee Ye-eun came to me, leaving Han Soo-young to shoot an arrow with excitement.
“long time no see.”
“Yes. I was going to come visit you earlier, but I must have been a bit busy.”
“It’s usually at this time, so it’s okay not to worry about it for nothing.”
Saying that, Yeeun Lee told me.
“Did you say that your juniors have never shot a bow before? Then we will teach you simple rules and things you need to know about how to shoot a bow… … .”
Boo Woong.
Yeeun Lee’s cell phone vibrated and vibrated, and she frowned slightly.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
Then she took out her cell phone and checked it, and with a small sigh she walked away from me and answered the call.
“what. I must have told you not to contact me this way. Were you even shot in the head?”
He seemed to think he couldn’t hear me, but unfortunately I could hear everything she whispered in a small whisper.
I couldn’t even hear the sound over the phone.
“What? What kind of bullshit is that?”
… But was Lee Ye-eun’s tone of voice that harsh in the first place?
While thinking like that, I could see Yeeun Lee’s face turning white in an instant.
Then he shook his whole body as if he was seriously ill, and suddenly he looked at me.
She approached me with trembling steps and muttered in a low voice.
“Mi, I’m sorry. I, I have some urgent business… … .”
“Yes?”
With those words, Yeeun Lee escaped from her seat as if running away.
In the sudden situation, I just stood there blankly and looked at her back.
“… what? Why are you there?”
