Aww!
“Ughhh!”
An explosion occurred with a roar.
The explosion engulfed several monsters, but Kim Yoo-hyeon, who was within that range, also threw herself to the floor with a strange scream.
He lost the halberd he was holding, but luckily he didn’t appear to be seriously injured.
The problem was that the monsters all started running towards him as he went out, who was in charge of most of the vanguard.
“To Formation D!”
Ivan cried out in an urgent voice.
In Formation D, when the front line was open, Ivan, who was the best out of the three, took over the role of the front line.
Ivan changed the magic bow to create a curved shape like a crescent moon.
Then, holding a shield and a one-handed sword, she clings to Jin Ye-seul, who is barely holding on.
After the difficult battle was over, Han Soo-young walked with a scruffy pace and bowed her head to Kim Yoo-hyeon, who was treating her wounds.
It was because the explosion that had made him almost incapacitated a while ago was none other than Han Soo-young’s magic.
“I’m sorry, because of me… … .”
“uh? ah no People can make mistakes.”
Kim Yoo-hyeon said that and smiled hard.
Ivan and Lee Hyun-seong didn’t bother to express it, but they could see that they were struggling.
In the recently resumed mock dungeon class, they could not get out of the lower ranks.
They did it only twice, but they were always at the top.
The reason for this was that the number of heads was simply reduced from six to five due to Yoo Ji-hyuk’s absence, but the biggest reason was Han Soo-young’s frequent failures.
And Han Soo-young, who knew this better than anyone else, leaned against the wall and squatted with her head buried between her knees.
‘This is not good… … .’
Ivan, who had to lead them, shook his head slightly.
Strictly speaking, Yoo Ji-hyuk’s absence was unfortunate, but not decisive.
In addition, due to the struggle of Jin Ye-seul, who has been growing rapidly in recent years, the vacancy that he missed is still full.
In the end, it was said that it was a problem of the rear rather than the front.
And everyone knew that the only person who had changed was Han Soo-young.
No one had to mention it… … .
“Now, let’s rest and move. It was a break-through mission, so it’s good to move as fast as possible.”
At Ivan’s encouragement, everyone rose from their seats without saying a word.
I needed a bit more rest, but I had no choice but to spend too much time in the previous battle.

Originally, it was a battle that would not have taken even half of it, but no one even spoke of that fact.
And Article 11 of them recorded the lowest rank in the mock dungeon class without fail today.
It was a lower rank than last time.
* * *
“ha… … .”
After a brief shower, Han Soo-young let out a deep sigh.
Nothing is more dependent on the caster’s mind and concentration than magic.
And although he doesn’t want to admit it, Han Soo-young had to admit that his concentration has been disturbed a lot lately.
What is the reason?
She concluded that this was due to the changing seasons these days.
It must have been because it was a whirlwind in just a few days, and the seasons changed and the weather had changed, making it more disturbing.
It was clear.
“… … .”
No answer when I call, no answer when I text.
In addition, yesterday with a big decision, I asked Professor Blessing Buck about Yoo Ji-hyeok’s whereabouts, but she only told me that she was sick and would return after a few days of outside treatment.
In fact, I didn’t even have the courage to question whether it was a vacation or not.
Han Soo-young, annoyed by that fact, violently pushed the chair away.
The chair was pushed down with a rattling sound and collapsed to the side.
“Ah, Thing… … .”
Han Soo-young put the chair back upright and dragged it to the front of the desk.
Reflexively, she sat down on the chair and looked at the desk.
There were two notebooks on the desk.

One was written enough to be recognizable by her, and to borrow her words, it was efficient, efficient, and practical handwriting.
And on the other hand, there were handwritten notes in different colors in important places in a round typeface, and there were also post-it notes and cute stickers attached to them.
The former was Han Soo-young’s personal note, and the latter was a note he had decided to pass on to Yoo Ji-hyuk.
As usual, Han Soo-young, who had time to check and transcribe notes and even annotate them, carefully laid down on the bed as if tired of even that.
“ha.”
Han Soo-young sighed once more and quietly began to concentrate.
It was always for the practice of magic.
It was also the magic that her teacher, Nam Hyeon-hwa, advised not to use in front of other people.
Han Soo-young was gifted with space-based magic that only a few people have.
This is the reason why we were able to find and rescue the director who was trapped in a gap in the space distorted by artifacts in the archives of the past.
And his teacher, Nam Hyeon-hwa, had said that he had more talent than any other people he had ever seen.
Sooyoung Han intentionally began to create a distorted space around her.
At some point, I wanted to feel a sense of floating, so when I opened my eyes, I saw myself lying on the bed with my eyes closed.
It was a success.
When he intentionally creates a distorted space around him that only the psychic body can feel, he feels as if he is dreaming.
You can see your surroundings even when you close your eyes, and you can go to places you can’t go.
At first, I wondered what it would be like to become a ghost.
Han Soo-young moved a part of her mind and escaped into the hallway.
Slowly and gently, he came out of the door and started walking around the empty hallway.
This was one of Han Soo-young’s small deviations.

Others cannot see you, but you can see others.
I used to go for a walk with the strange pleasure that came from that fact.

Of course, I never overheard other people’s stories or entered the room.
As much as the psychic chain, there are cases where things pass through or are moved by something else, so I had to keep my mind focused.
If it were her, she would never have distracted her concentration.
But these days she… … .
“… … .”
Su-young Han, who had been immersed in thoughts without realizing it, was able to realize at some point that her body was caught between the floor and the wall like an object of contemporary art.

Oops, startled, she quickly escaped and was thinking about whether or not to go back now.
“For now, I am learning the art of heritage.”
At the sound of the voice, Han Soo-young seemed to have goosebumps all over her body.
When she woke up, she was heading towards the source of the voice.
“Honestly, you are more talented than me, so you can learn it quickly.”
And Han Soo-young, who came to the place where the voice was heard, could see Jin Ye-seul sitting in front of a strange statue.
For a moment, in front of Han Soo-young, who wondered if she had heard it wrong, Jin Ye-seul suddenly began to sob, unable to hold back her laughter.
“You have a talent, a talent… … Heck, talent… … .”
What, why is he like that?
When seeing Jin Ye-seul for the first time, Han Soo-young was frankly bewildered.
And it was time to get out of the situation in a hurry as soon as I remembered my own situation where I was secretly spying on someone else’s private life.
“Jin Ye-seul, you are talented.”
It was Yoo Ji-hyuk’s voice.
But that voice came out of Jin Ye-seul’s mouth.
what the hell is this… ?
“Ah, huh. Hmm. The male voice is also a bit difficult. I still have to work hard… … .”
Jin Ye-seul muttered while rubbing her neck with her hand.
“Jihyuk looked at me and said I had talent. So you have to work hard.”
what.
Han Soo-young felt uncomfortable for a moment, but soon thought that it could be.
Come to think of it, the two of them were taking classes under the same professor.
Then it was enough for the two of them to get to know each other.
No, but even so, what is Jin Ye-seul talking about now?
How else can you use Yoo Ji-hyuk’s voice?
I was thinking like that.
“ah.”
Jin Ye-seul picked up the phone that vibrated and vibrated for a moment.
It looked like there was a phone call.
“It’s Jihyuk… !”
That was the moment.
Suddenly, I could feel a sudden, sudden loss of concentration.
Han Soo-young opened her eyes at the same time as she felt as if she was being sucked in rapidly.
In his room, on his bed, Han Soo-young woke up and got up.
“… … .”
Han Soo-young, who got up like that, murmured in a quiet voice after being there for a while.
“What, just that… … .”
Han Soo-young quietly uttered words that no one would answer, and then went back to bed helplessly.
“What the hell… … .”

“I’m not feeling well.”
“Originally, the space movement series is a bit different. You’ll be fine once you get used to it.”
These were the words I uttered as soon as I moved to a secluded place with Horie Yuzuki.
In front of our eyes was a cleverly hidden place, almost all smashed and strewn with signboards saying restricted access.
“That’s the entrance to the orchard.”
“No sentry or anything?”
“Honestly, it’s difficult to throw away the smashing, so we’re managing it for now, but there’s already nothing inside. Also, there was no need to put a guard up here because the guards would arrest me before I came this far.”
We went inside the facility and chatted.
This is how we got here.
Yuzuki Horie, who called me and informed Myeong-Jun Lee’s disappearance, was not at all embarrassed and added this to me.
During the regular report, he suddenly spit out my name and said, ‘He has a place he wants to go, so please take care of it.’
So, she seemed to think that he could infer where he was going from the conversation we had with Lee Myung-joon.
All he and I had to say was about Aegis and the orchard.
Considering the elimination method, it was of course the latter.
And it was as she expected.
“There are traces of people staying there a while ago.”
Horie nodded as she looked at the portable lamp, blanket, and plastic bags scattered here and there.
She knelt down on one knee and fumbled around, looking for traces.
After a while, she nodded confidently.
“I don’t think it’s been a while since I left. I don’t know if he left at all or if he was absent for a while… … .”
“But how do you know for sure that that person is Hunter Lee Myung-Jun? He might be homeless or someone else… … .”
“It’s because of this.”
Saying so, Horie Yuzuki showed me an empty can.
It was a so-called beer-flavored cola, the so-called worst cola in the world.
As soon as I saw it, I contorted my face involuntarily.
“Wow, what is it? Why? Who eats that… … .”
“It’s the guild master’s favorite drink.”
“… … .”
I quietly shut my mouth.
Horie put down the empty can and muttered in a serious voice.
“And I’ve never seen anyone other than the guild master buy this in bulk and drink it like that. It looks like you have come to the right place.”
With those words, she sat on a blanket and rummaged through plastic bags.
Inside were unopened bread, kimbap, and drinks.
“It would be better to take a break and wait. We don’t know when we’ll be back, but I don’t think he’s going to lead us here and leave for long.”
“I, then… … .”
“ah.”
She nodded as if she understood.
“By the way, Jihyuk-kun said he wanted to come here once… … Um, I should go with you.”
She murmured and handed me the flashlight.
“sleep. Watch your feet. I will wait here for the guild master.”
“It is.”
Saying that, Horie Yuzuki drank his drink with a calm expression on his face.
But I did not miss the slight trembling of her hand.
“… … .”
I was about to say something, but quitting, I grabbed a flashlight and headed inside the facility.
Perhaps it was not properly maintained, the walls and ceilings were broken and crumbling.
A small presence was felt along the way, and it seemed that animals like field mice were also living here.

Orchard.
This was Red Case’s secret research facility.
An unimaginable number of people died at this facility, meaning that they aim for the harvest by comparing people brought in for human experimentation to fruit.
And there are two more singularities here.
Read At noblemtl.com
One is that, surprisingly, the Thorn Cross Society also contributed to this experiment.
And the other is that, in fact, this facility was built for the purpose of the two Seven evil sects, whose seals have already been released.
Two seals of the Seven Evil Bells have already been released.
And each was secretly scheming for his own purposes in the Red Case and the Thorns Cross.
This facility was also created for that purpose.
In the end, the experiment failed without the desired result of the two Seven Devils, and furthermore, the two became hostile to each other as if they were enemies… … .
It wasn’t that important now.
“Is it around here?”
This place had a very important meaning even in the original.
This was especially true for Choi Hyun-woo and Han Soo-young, who had to fight the Seven evils that took control of the Red Case.
As the pre-packaged blood was sprinkled on the smashed altar, the splattered blood began to flow in one direction and collect.
It wasn’t just that the altar was tilted, but it looked like it was pulling iron powder with a magnet.
The blood that had flowed in that way soon pooled in one of the altars large enough for an adult man to climb up.
The large drops of blood gave a creepy feeling just looking at it.
I stretched out my finger and began to draw a pattern on the spot with my blood.
It was the very mark of being a member of the Red Case.
And on top of that, I drew the mark of the thorn tree cross as if it were a large drawing.
Then there was a rattling sound from the altar.
The fragments formed dust as they shattered with a loud sound.
“Collock, Colok!”
With a cough, he covered his nose and mouth with his hand and put his other hand into the dust.
There is a feeling in the hand.
I grabbed them tightly and pulled them out.
