In the end, I took off my blood-stained shirt and roughly shoved it into the trash can.
Anyway, it was rags and I couldn’t wear it again, so I decided to throw it away quickly.
The pants are black, so you won’t be able to see them if you’re careful, and the T-shirt you wore underneath was also dark, so I thought it would be okay if you didn’t put on a tee.
Even when I roughly reflected on the glass window of the building, there was no such conspicuous trauma, perhaps thanks to Jin Ye-seul’s potion and the healing of the paper bird.

Only the burned area had turned a little reddish, but even that was enough to tell if you looked closely.
[To everyone inside the academy. The explosion sound that occurred a while ago was confirmed to be an accident caused by a gas leak, and experts are now in the process of solving the problem. In case of an unexpected accident, those who are near the site, please follow the instructions promptly and move to a place far away from the site. Also, I would like to inform you that we have cleared out all the groups with impure intentions that have hidden in the academy, and we are currently tracking the remaining ones. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, everyone who is currently listening to this broadcast, please go to an evacuation center. I will tell you one more time. It was a while ago… … .]

On the way to the library, a guide sound came from the speaker.
Seeing that such a broadcast was coming out, I thought that the situation had been sorted out.
‘Actually, six out of ten are here.’
The Thorns Cross Society seemed to have been wiped out before they could do anything, and the Red Case’s two gunners fell to me and Jin Ye-seul.

Only the Big Watch was unaware of the situation yet, but the monsters that always appeared whenever they caused a problem seemed to run away quickly as they couldn’t even see their noses.
The remnants should remain, but there’s really nothing they can do about it in this situation.
He’s probably running away while keeping his body in moderation.
There were some guys who couldn’t even figure out what they were doing here, but since Lee Myung-jun and the six guild masters are moving, I decided to just trust them.
Afterwards, if you tell Jin Ye-seul about important information, he will organize it and bring it to you.
Shortly after arriving at the front of the library and waiting, Han Soo-young and Choi Hyun-woo and an old man appeared from afar.
As soon as Han Soo-young saw this, he paused for a moment, and then ran quickly at a gait.
The first word she uttered as soon as she saw me was none other than the word ‘clothes’.
“What?”
“Where did your shirt go?”
“I took it off because it was hot.”
“In this weather?”
As she said, the weather right now was rather chilly.
I asked with a casual expression on my face.
“I can handle the heat well.”
“Ugh… … .”
Han Soo-young looked at this side and made a meaningful sound.
Then, Choi Hyun-woo, holding the old man’s hand tightly as if to support him, came closer and greeted me.
“Hello, Jihyuk.”
“Yeah, come to think of it, did you say you beat Ahn Do-hoon? Congratulations.”
“What are you celebrating?”
Choi Hyun-woo mumbled that with a smile, then carefully released the old man’s hand and said to me.
“Ji-hyuk, you are our teacher. He said he wanted to meet you. Master, this friend is that Jihyuk.”
“It’s my first time seeing you.”
Hyunhwa Nam showed a kind smile with a quiet voice.
“My name is Hyunhwa Nam. Nice to meet you, student.”
He immediately bowed his head and responded politely to her words.
Nam Hyeon-hwa, who is neither someone else, but the parents and teacher of the two, needed to be polite.
“Shut up, old man. That makes me uncomfortable.”
“Hey, the greeting is also bright.”
She let out a small laugh as if she was happy.
Then he gently took my hand and whispered to me, still smiling.
“Did you say Jihyeok? Hyeonu and Sooyoung were both talking about it a lot. Especially Sooyoung, every time I contact her… … .”
“Master!”
At Han Soo-young’s shrill cry, Nam Hyun-hwa showed a sad expression inside.
Then he looked around and blinked with a sign of dissatisfaction.
“I wanted to talk for as long as possible, but the current situation doesn’t seem to be a situation where we can talk comfortably. First of all, why don’t we all go to the broadcasting station together?”
At her words, we all decided to head to the shelter for now.
In fact, I could see people moving here and there following the instructions of the staff.
We moved with them and talked a lot.
Then, Han Soo-young, who was constantly looking at me, took off the cardigan she was wearing and held it out to me with an indifferent hand.
“What is it, you want me to wear it?”
“Then, would I have told you to put it on your head?”
Han Soo-young responded bluntly.
Even if I said okay, she was reckless.
At the same time, he almost forcibly handed me the cardigan, saying that it doesn’t matter because he’s wearing long sleeves.
It was because it was cold here looking at it.
Then, she was forced to put on a cardigan over her eyes as if watching over this side.
The difference in physique between the two was so great that I could tell without looking at the ridiculous appearance of an adult wearing children’s clothes.
Choi Hyun-woo burst out a small laugh at the sight.
“Jihyuk, that suits you very well.”
“… Hyeonu, do you keep quiet when you say something nice?”
Han Soo-young muttered quietly.
Choi Hyun-woo was still laughing as if he was having fun.
“Mine is a little too big for Ji-hyuk, but it seems like it would fit, but I also have a T-shirt inside, so it’s a bit difficult to take it off.”
“No, even if you take your clothes off, I won’t wear them.”
“Choi Hyun-woo must be really crazy!”
When I responded to his words, Han Soo-young also shouted with a shocked expression.
And Nam Hyeon-hwa, who looked at us like that happily, burst into laughter.
“It seems the three of you are really close. It doesn’t look good either.”
She mumbled something like that, but Han Soo-young blushed and kept her mouth shut.
In the meantime, Choi Hyun-woo still had a smile on his lips, came up to me and whispered softly.
“By the way, Jihyuk.”
Why is this madman doing this all of a sudden?
That was when I was scared and tried to get away from him.
“Who the hell did you fight with?”
For a moment, I looked at him with a cold look, and Choi Hyun-woo was still smiling.
“How do you… … .”
“I’m a bit sensitive about this. You know, my one intuition is awesome.”
He let out a small laugh.
“Well, it’s clear that Jihyeok has an idea because it’s what you did… … .”
Then he glanced at Han Soo-young and said as if he were giving me advice.
Then I thought that his eyes looking at her were somehow familiar.
Those were the eyes when I used to look at my younger sister.
“Still, Jihyuk believes that you won’t make Sooyoung cry.”
Seriously, Sooyoung knows, but she’s just pretending not to know.
I just had to nod my head at those words, which were nothing more than a gentle threat.
* * *
In the end, most of the invitations were canceled.
First of all, it was announced that it was a gas accident, and in the case of the Dalian where the Thorn Cross Society appeared, there were too many civilians, so the Orge Academy chose to disclose it frankly rather than control information clumsily.
Even if the result of miraculously no fatalities was due to the struggle between the guild masters, the fact that the academy was attacked by outside forces did not change.

Orge Academy had suffered a heavy blow to its high honor.
In fact, it was a good ending that cannot be compared with the ending of the original, in which not a small number of civilians were killed, some buildings collapsed, and even relics were stolen… … .
Anyway, all the schedules have been canceled, and only the schedules that cannot be omitted will be briefed tomorrow.
The broadcasting station was also organizing a special program that was good about today’s work and was sending it out as a scoop.
“Ugh… … .”
After taking a light shower, I flopped down on the sofa with the sound of pain.
Even with potions and healing, the muscle pain seemed unavoidable, so the whole body was aching, so the paste was put on.
A branch of the world tree came out of his right arm and was hung over the tank where Mandragora resided.
It is thick and you can feel your mana and stamina filling up every time you absorb water.

Of course, Mandragora, who was forced to come out of the tank thanks to that, was embracing the two spirit stones that were her household goods and staring at them with displeasure.
I sat down blankly, thinking about my future plans again.
And I was able to come to a conclusion right away.
If you keep going like this, you will end up in the same situation again soon, and there is no guarantee that you will be as lucky as you are today.
“… … .”
The plan had to be completely revised.
Skills and items that I didn’t touch with the excuse of not having time… … .
Now that I think about it, if there were only a few of them, nothing like today would have happened.
It still feels like the back of my hand with a hole in it is throbbing.
‘It’s impossible to collect them all at once, but you have to bring them little by little.’
I desperately needed to be strong on my own.
And to do that, I could say that it was impossible to go out only on weekends.
At the same time, I was thinking about whether to take this opportunity from Professor Blesbuck to receive medical treatment for about a week using the excuse of hurt and personal circumstances.
“… ?”
Suddenly, Mandragora came closer to me as if something was strange.
Then I looked around, and when I saw the ring on my finger, I cringed in amazement.
It was a ring given to Belluna, a higher spirit of the wind.
“… !”
“Ouch! No, why are you… … .”
And he ran to my face, where I was sitting blankly, and slammed it with all his might.
Soon after, he started hitting and kicking like a punching bag.
At the very least, it would hurt how much it would hurt if the roots of grass hit him, but his fist hurt a little, probably because the name is a legendary herb.
There was something very angry about it, but since it didn’t make sense in the first place, there was no way I could figure out what was going on.
“Hey, am I really having a hard time today? No kidding, I almost died… … Aww!”
Suddenly, he ripped off his sideburns, and without realizing it, a scream of pain erupted.
When I turned my head, the guy was scattering his ripped hair in front of me.
“This pea-sized thing is real!”
“… !”
Despite my threats, he did not shudder at all.
Rather, they pretended to throw their fists, folding and unfolding their roots in the air, as if to give it a try.
At that time, I was seriously thinking about how I should really do this, and whether I should show him even boiling water in a kettle.
Ding Dong.
At the sudden sound of the bell, Mandragora lay flat on her stomach.
There was no one to come at this hour, so I slowly got up from my seat.
Then he carefully picked up the lying mandragora and put it in the tank, and headed towards the door.
“who are you?”
― The parcel has arrived. Please pick it up yourself.
The answer was the intercom installed inside the dormitory.
I looked out and saw a drone with a really small box floating in the hallway.
When I opened the door, the drone came a little forward as if it was pushing the touchpad.
I wondered if it was a mistake, but my name was clearly written on the recipient.
I glanced at who the hell sent it, and I could see that my face was distorted in an instant.
Jin Ye-seul.
“… … .”
Maybe there is something strange in it.
While contemplating whether to take this or not, the drone carefully put the box down in front of the front door and leisurely exited the hallway.
“Uh… … .”
When I grabbed the box with the branches of the world tree and shook it around, I could see that something heavy was in it.
There was also a crackling sound, and the distrust grew even greater.
I continued to open it carefully using the branches of the world tree, just in case.
A letter was placed on top of the box.
And underneath it was a black box with the remains of a shattered silent dagger.
The first sentence of the letter began with a tone of politeness and politeness to the point of being burdensome, saying that he hoped he would not do anything presumptuous.
The content of the letter was as follows.
First of all, the silent dagger is a very expensive item, and he said that he had recovered all the information of the buyer because he thought it would be a problem if he left it on the site.
As I ordered, we are hacking CCTVs and records inside the academy to get information about the red case, the thorn cross, and the big watch, so please wait a little bit.
Finally, I ended by saying that it was only pure favor and that I would like you to consider this face and send me a pair of daggers that fit me as a gift.
Nowhere was it related to the Shadow Walker’s legacy.
While feeling a little uncomfortable, I opened the black box for the first time.
Inside was a pair of daggers that looked classy, even though they were black, with white engravings on them.
Savage Dagger – Black Bird’s Beak (Rare)
This form belongs to the middle of the dagger series, forged with great care by the legendary craftsman Yado.
It is said that the light and hard blade will not break even if a dragon tramples on it.
It is also said that the beak of the black bird never gets dull and it always retains its sharpness.
― The blade will not be dulled or destroyed.
― Wounds from this dagger take longer to heal than normal wounds.
― There is a low chance that if you take a wound with this dagger, it will stop bleeding.
I expected it to some extent, but when I actually checked the information on the dagger, I couldn’t say anything.
It was surprising, but it was the moment when I realized that Jin Ye-seul was the third richest among the eight and was a huge gold spoon.
But most of all, her sudden change of attitude was burdensome.
First, the black box was carefully closed and placed on the table.
I’ll have to meet you later or return it.
It was very uncomfortable to just receive a gift from Jin Ye-seul, who was not someone else.
Then there was the sound of a mandragora from the tank hitting the glass wall.
“Why again?”
“… … .”
The boy was staring at him without saying a word.
To be precise, Pas looked at the black box and the upper body that were glued together, and then without a word, he cut off one of his own small roots without saying a word.
Then, indifferently, he threw it over the tank and dropped it on the table.
“… what?”
Surprised by the sudden action, I put on a puzzled expression, and the guy was looking at me with a somewhat triumphant expression.
To be precise, the black box on the table.
