Hajun, Elaine, and Harna headed to the training ground where cadet training was taking place.
On the way, there were reporters from each country at the entrance of the training ground, so it would have been difficult.
“Wow… … , very spacious.”
Upon entering the dome, Elaine began to look around in admiration.
In the hallway that continued straight ahead, there were signs with national flags and country names written on them, as well as a training ground for facilities inside. There were martial arts training grounds, benches that were shelters for cadets, and children with different hair colors, each with their own personality, beyond the glass door that looked like the world of the game.
Among them, there was a familiar cadet in Hajun’s eyes.
It was a girl with pink hair inside the training room of the US national cadet team.
A girl eating a banana with a bright face while sitting on the bench chair of the United States national team.
It was Isabella Heights, the granddaughter of the great hero Drian Heights.
Her appearance was very different from her previous appearance.
Should I say it’s rough?
Her fresh and cute appearance didn’t change much, but the worn bandage on her hand showed how hard she worked.
As you can see, he seems to have practiced a lot of martial arts using his hands.
‘But is it strange?’
Obviously, there was no Isabella in the US cadet national team in the game?
Ha-jun, with a puzzled expression, entered the training room with the US national team with Harna and Elaine. By the way, it was Liam who asked Harna to train.
And Isabella, who was eating a banana with a bright face, felt her gaze and turned her head to look at Ha-jun who was approaching.
In an instant, Isabella’s eyes widened and she began to smile brightly.
“ah! Hajun!”
“yes? Hajun is here?”
Likewise, Liam, who was resting next to her drinking bottled water, began to look at Hajun with a surprised expression.
Ha-jun approached the two with a calm face and said to Isabella.
“Why are you here?”
“Heh! Since then, I’ve worked hard and got stronger!”
It was Isabella, who spoke with a sense of momentum.
Yes, it did look like it.
Hajun said.
“It seems that grandfather is no exception to his granddaughter.”
There were very few minor scars on her body.
Just looking at it, it looks like a wound from training with that grandfather.
When he said that, Isabella raised an eyebrow and spoke proudly.
“It’s an honorable wound. Proof of my hard work.”
“Is that so?”
That’s something grandpa would love to hear.
Ha-Jun replied indifferently.
Gradually, it was difficult to talk with this high tension.
It was Isabella, who pouted her lips cutely at Ha-jun’s dry reaction.
“How come you haven’t changed? So what’s going on here? Is the Korean representative over there?”
“I’m going to pick him up.”
“yes? ah! Hanna Ruel! Come to think of it, you said you were helping Dalian today, didn’t you? Please.”
With those words, Isabella held out her hand, and Harna shook her head with an expressionless face and nodded her head.
“yes.”
“ah! But, who is he next to… … ?”
Isabella’s gaze turned to Elaine, who was right next to Ha-jun.
Elaine was frozen with a shocked face while Ha-jun was talking with Isabella.
Elaine slowly opened her mouth with a puzzled expression.
“Maybe that famous enchantment wizard and granddaughter of the great hero Drian Heights… … ?”
“Yeah, is that me?”
“Wow! I will see Isabella sunbaenim in my lifetime. I’m a fan! Can I get your autograph?”
With those words, it was Elaine who took out a small notebook and ballpoint pen from her pocket.
Was this his purpose?
“Uh, so who are you?”
And Isabella, who had signed the autograph, asked Elaine again.
Liam, who was standing next to Isabella, whispered quietly to Isabella.
“Hajun’s younger sister… … .”
“!?”
It was Isabella with a puzzled expression on her face.
She glanced at Hajun and Elaine for a moment, and then just let out an exclamation blankly.
“uh… … .”
“… … ?”
Just looking at his face, there was something he wanted to say, but it was a feeling of being patient.
Of course, I have an expectation of what I want to say.
Ha-jun opened his mouth first before Isabella said something else.
“When does Dalian start?”
“ah! right. Now that the break is over, let’s start.”
“okay.”
Liam began to warm up at Isabella’s words.
By the way, the reason Liam asked Harna to fight was because Liam’s first fighting opponent was a cadet who used German magic. Of course, there is also the fact that the third opponent of the team fight, which is one of the events of the martial arts competition, is the British national team.
Of course, that didn’t really matter to Ha-jun.
Rather, Ha-jun wondered when Harna’s match would end.
Hajun asked Liam.
“How many hours will it take?”
“yes? Are you talking about Dalian? Maybe three or four hours?”
It’s taking longer than I thought… … .
I sighed, thinking that I had come for some reason.
And Liam made a proposal to Ha-jun with a smirk.
“If there is nothing to do during that time, will you help me with training?”
“… … ?”
“Harna, she decided to help not only me but also Isabella and the other kids. But he also has to rest, so he can’t fight straight away. Just asking for help during that time.”
“I think that’s a good idea.”
Hannah accepted the words instead and groaned.
Seeing his bright smile on his face, I think he had called me to do his job.
Of course, there was no need to agree, and there was a reason for refusal.
Hajun said.
“If you fight with me, will you be training?”
“If you control your power-”
“Passed or seriously injured.”
“… … .”
Liam kept his mouth shut.
Come to think of it, he was watching while he was training at the academy, didn’t he?
What would happen if there were unconditional one-on-one fights?
If I fight him in the first place, will he be training?
It was Liam who understood Hajun’s few words so much.

I don’t know about the hero category, but in the cadet category, cadets from various countries participated in this exchange war hosted by the International Superhuman Union.
Including Korea, USA, Japan, UK, Germany, China, Russia and so on.
In preparation for the attack of the villain, only countries with sufficient resources participated in the hero category, but the cadets were irrelevant, so it was natural that more people than the hero category participated.

Meanwhile, Ha-joon left the US team’s training room for a while, wandering the hallways and looking around.
For reference, Elaine said she will remain in the US training room.
He said he wanted to watch the kids fight, so he left him alone and went out alone.
I get bored of trying to stay still.
Ha-jun bought a piece of popcorn from a nearby kiosk and was looking around the inside of the training room. And as I walked, I saw children with familiar faces.
In the training room of the Korean team, Han Si-young, cadet president Lee Ju-hee, her younger sisters Lee Ju-ah and Ha-jun’s classmates, Lee Han, and two unknown second and third grade seniors.
Probably the seniors selected for this national team.
And it seems that this one instructor came as the national team coach.
“… … Ha-Jun Kim?”
“… … ?”
“uh? It’s Hajun!”
And it was Ha-jun, who met this instructor through the glass door.
Ha-jun opened the door and entered the training room where the Korean team was located.
“I didn’t know you’d be here… … , how have you been?”
“Yes, long time no see.”
“Okay, so what’s going on here? Have you ever been contacted by the association?”
With those words, it was Lee Han who looked at Ha-jun with a serious face.
Perhaps what this instructor misunderstood is asking if I was selected for the Korean cadet national team. Hajun shook his head.
I haven’t been contacted, and I don’t plan to.
Perhaps the president of the association didn’t even say anything because he knew Ha-jun would refuse.
“no.”
What can I say, this Han was making a very ambiguous expression.
Is it a sad and happy expression?
This one instructor said.
“Well, if you left, the president of the association would have a hard time dealing with it. You will be annoyed too. So what’s the deal? Are you here to help?”
“I came to take a look.”
It was Lee Han who responded with a smirk to those words.
“You are still Sit on a bench and watch. Just tell me when you want to help.”
“Yeah, what. What were you thinking about before that?”
For reference, before eye contact with Ha-jun, this instructor was thinking deeply about something with his arms crossed. It was just a question out of curiosity, and this instructor readily answered.
“The Chinese cadet national team asked me to compete in Dalian. I was thinking of a strategy.”
“It’s Dalian with the Chinese team… … , can I take a look?”
I was bored at the time, but it’s ok.
Ha-jun asked the instructor, and Lee Han nodded.

The time is 11 a.m., the time before lunch.
The match between the Chinese national team and the Korean national team was held.
“Take good care of me.”
“Yes, it is me.”
The match started immediately with the handshake of Jin, the two coaches of each national team.
The match itself consisted of the same rules as the one-on-one individual match.
First, the first runner on the Korean team was Han Si-young.
The cadets who started in the Chinese team are the most promising among the first-year cadets.
“You’re Zhang Chiodong.”
“Who is that?”
These were the words of the cadet president Lee Joo-hee.
Ha-jun casually ate popcorn and asked, and started looking at Ha-jun with a puzzled face, as if Lee Joo-ah and one instructor, including Lee Ju-hee, were genuinely unaware.
But what I didn’t know was that it wasn’t a very important character.
In the first place, all the episodes of this exchange battle are joint episodes except for Harna Ruel, and this training process is skipped and moved directly to the match day.
Besides, it’s Zhang Chiodong… … , a name I’ve never heard of.
Among the representatives of the Chinese team, I don’t know if she is the guild chief’s daughter of the King of the Guild, the guild that currently ranks first in the guild ranking in China.
Hajun asked.
“Are you famous?”
“Famous. Because he was recognized for his skills at a young age among Chinese prospects.”
Hearing that, at the age of 17, he beat down a B-class villain, and he was a more promising cadet than Ha-jun had a record of killing a level 30 dangerous beast alone.
“A cadet known for his excellent fighting skills using his abilities. It means that even Si-Young Han can lose if he is not careful.”
At those words, Ha-jun looked at Jang Chio-dong, who was standing on the other side of Han Si-young, and opened his mouth.
“… … Do you think he’s being vigilant?”
“… … .”
At that, Lee Joo-hee also kept her mouth shut as if she couldn’t deny it.
He was a muscular cadet about 170 tall with brown skin and long hair tied behind his back, and he was leaning against the wall and giggling while Han Si-young was warming up.
“It was true that he had an arrogant character.”
“I’m coming this way.”
“… … yes?”
And did you hear Lee Joo-hee?
He passed Han Si-young and started to approach Joo-hee and Ha-jun, who were sitting on the bench.
This one is for that lil chicken owl
No, I approached Lee Joo-ah, who was watching me blankly from the side.
Joo-ah looked at Zhang Chio-dong with a puzzled look for a moment, and he said with a smile to Zhu-ah.
“Gee Seulla?”
“… … yes?”
Lee Joo-ah and Lee Joo-hee just looked at him with puzzled faces.

Maybe it’s because I don’t know exactly what he said in Chinese.
Ha-jun, who understood the language through the translator magic tool, spoke instead.
“How old are you?”
“uh… … , 17 years old.”
“… … ?”
But the problem was that he didn’t understand either.
What did you come here to do?
Soon after, Zhang Ziodung looked at me and opened his mouth.
“Hey, translate.”
“… … ?”
For a moment, Ha-jun looked at Zhang Chio-dong, wondering if he had heard the wrong thing.
Is the translation weird? Or is it that there are no respectful words in China in the first place?
Anyway, I was too lazy to scrape and make crumbs, so I answered roughly.
“17 years old.”
“I’m 17… … , were of the same age. Do you have any boyfriends?”
He said to Lee Ju-ah.
Ha-jun translated the words and answered, and Joo-ah was embarrassed, and in an instant, life began to seep into Joo-hee’s eyes.
“That guy… … .”
“Wow, whoa. Just calm down.”
And Lee Ju-ah, who heard that, politely declined immediately.
“sorry.”
Zhang Chio-dong started looking at Ha-jun again.
It was meant to be translated.
Ha-jun translated Lee Joo-ah’s words with a blunt face.
“Shut up, I don’t hang out with weak bugs.”
“…used German magic” – let me guess, METAL bending? (I love RS and Oomph)
