Chapter 123
main character (3)
“No, Yang~, what are you doing today after the match?”
“You don’t have anything else to do? why?”
“I entered a department store outside the mall. Do you want to go see it together? There might be a lot of new arrivals!? When we open there, we usually have an event together… … !”
As if she had already erased what happened last night from her memory, she looked at Chevalier as she spoke to Anya.
A gunman who does not know emotions and a saintess who collects the pain of others are talking brightly, turning their arms around excitedly.
Everyone has at least one wound that festers inside. It would be foolish to show it off.
Chevalier glared at me as I watched blankly, moving my feet in the direction of the field.
‘I guess I’m doing a good job controlling my mouth, right?’ Her voice played automatically in my brain.
Got it.
I nodded toward Chevalier walking beside me.
“So- it has to be today.”
“hmm… … Shall we go? Oh, Mr… … I am worried.”
She let out a small sigh that others couldn’t see, and chatted with Anya again.
The softly raised mouth and the smooth arc of the eyes.
If anyone sees it, it’s like a child who grew up receiving only the best things in the world.
As we walked and talked, we arrived at the arena before we knew it, and Andrew, who entered the arena from the front, put on gauntlets on both his fists.
Starting with that, everyone started to take out their arms.
“I have to decide once it is over.”
At Anya’s words, Chevalier nodded and entered the arena.
As you get closer to the finals, the enemy’s abilities also increase.
It was the same as saying that the level of violence is rising.
During the quarterfinals, Kanghyuk was pierced through the abdomen by an enemy attack, and Anya was caught in a magical explosion and her entire body was cut.
Chevalier took their pain for granted.
I watched it dozens of times.
Although the saintess does not hesitate to embrace the pain of the world.
The more she does, the darker she gets.

Sitting at a desk in the classroom, Haneul watched the game on TV with a sad expression.
It wasn’t the match she wanted, so it was a match no different than an advertisement.
However, other friends in the class seem to take it differently.
Quite a few children watched the battle through the screen, which was no different from a flashy action movie to the average person.
What they watch is the relay broadcast of the quarterfinals of the academy team match.
During the preliminaries, the level was different and there were a lot of broadcasts on other channels, so it was difficult to find viewers unless there were people who were digging into mania level or someone like Kang Ha-neul, but it was different after the finals started.
It’s a match to determine the best prospect of the year.
They have two eyes, one nose, one mouth, the same appearance, and the same speech.
After all, they are people too.
If you wear plain clothes and mix with the general public, it is hard to find anything special unless you show off.
The moment when they are differentiated from ordinary people is when they wear various armors and armaments to go out to battle.
Of course, there were people who showed off for their own vanity.
Clothing creates social recognition.
Inside the academy, looking at grades, attendance, and life, I would say no, but in the eyes of the general public, he’s a good fighter.
In conclusion, this tournament is the first military event in which the first year cadets are open to the civil society.
It is a kind of debut match to reveal yourself to the audience.
-hello. I’m Hw from 000 Broadcasting, in charge of commentary. Both teams are entering now!
Thanks to the temporal characteristics of break time, children who would normally roam freely gather in front of the TV.
Haneul, who had been making things for a while while holding her phone, quietly got up from her seat and joined the ranks.
I managed to break through the crowd of children huddled under the TV with a different attitude and settle down right under the TV.
It’s not so uncomfortable that I can’t see it when I lift my head and look up.
-The team entering now is a famous Gangbuk family… … .
Watching the 5-member group come in, Kang Ha-neul turned his gaze to the smartphone in his hand.
The reason is simple. Because they weren’t what she was waiting for.
I turned on and off the phone repeatedly without meaning.
-Brother.
how long was that
– A team to deal with Gangbuk’s Myeongga is appearing! This is a team that is growing rapidly.
Kang Ha-neul’s head, which had been bent down toward his smartphone, went up again.
Although the screen wasn’t big enough to fill an entire wall, it was enough to steal her entire field of view.
A huge black clenched clenched fist with a gauntlet in front of him repeatedly.
When he came out of a dark place and came out into the light, his scalp reflected the sunlight and shone brilliantly.
As is usually the case with the audience, those around Kang Ha-neul were busy evaluating the person who appeared.
‘Hey, isn’t it funny whenever I see that bald head?’
‘Crazy bastard, if you make fun of your bald head, you’ll lose all your hair too!’
“… … .”
‘Oh, next comes.’
The guys who giggled and talked casually prepared to put the next one on the cutting board as well.
He is a person that even the sky knows well.
Ordinary two-block and ordinary appearance. It seems that there would be no sense of incongruity even if I put it among the general public.
The only special thing is that the white sword in my hand emits a soft light by itself?
Kang Ha-neul pricked up his ears.
To be honest, I was curious about the opinions of others.
She thinks it’s the best, but I was curious about the objective story around it.
but.
‘Isn’t that Haneul’s older brother?’
‘Oh! really? In the quarterfinals, the sky had an older brother?’
‘Maybe right?’
For a moment, it became quiet as if the son-in-law had splashed cold water on her, and then the boy who had been talking excitedly for a while turned his gaze to her.
“Sky. Aren’t you your brother?”
“Uh, uh. Is that right?”
“Look, you’re right.”
After that, the guys didn’t talk anymore.
It’s like waiting for the next person to come out.
The sky was frustrated by the unknown silence.
Soon Kang-hyeok disappears over the screen and as soon as you see those who follow, the frozen atmosphere is released again.
‘Oh, come!’
‘Looking at yesterday’s game, that person was really insane.’
Golden Taeyang appears smiling towards the surroundings.
It is a person who brings laughter to those around him simply by shining his face on it.
‘So, who knew that he would just release them there?’
‘Eh, it must have been because I was confident that I would win even if I attacked again.’
‘Okay, he looks so hard on himself.’
‘It’s not just strong, like you, it’s just a rice cake and stretches out on the floor.’
‘It’s the same for you.’
Geum Taeyang, who has already clearly imprinted his skills on those around him, leisurely broke through the darkness and came out to the lighted arena.
Cheers are heard from the audience, enough to make the broadcast broadcast ring.
“and… … .”
Hearing the cheers, Kang Ha-neul felt a strange emotion.
Both Kang Hyuk and Geum Taeyang were the ones he had been waiting for.
That’s why I’ve been waiting for the appearance of the two, and it’s only now that I’ve seen the reaction.
However, when I actually felt it myself, the area around my heart tickled at the opposite reaction.
Chevalier and Anya are seen on both sides of the cynically smiling Golden Sun. however… … .
“… … uh?”
In Anya’s appearance, which came into Ha Neul’s eyes, something she hadn’t seen was captured.
I was aware of the silver cord that was usually wrapped around Anya’s neck.
Haneul, who did not know the true nature of the necklace, passed it on saying that it must be one of the common accessories.
But today the real thing came into view.
The silver cross necklace oscillates on Anya’s overwhelming chest whenever it moves.
At the same time, her eyes caught the cross brooch pinned near the heart of Chevalier’s left chest.
The cross earring that was dangling from Taeyang’s left ear was a bonus.
Haneul’s eyes and hands began to shake while watching TV.

evening time.
In the dormitory room, Lee Young-woong wanted to see if there was a reply about the golden fur he had entrusted to be identified, so he pressed the power button on the main unit under the desk with his toe and turned on the computer.
Even though it’s a research institute run by the family, there’s no way it’ll come up right away.
In addition to the team fight, he was swept away by Cha Seung-hyuk and served as a training partner until late.
Today’s schedule was tighter than expected, so I didn’t plan to invest that much time.
That’s why I went into the mailbox without any expectations.
▶ Genetic test request form. NEW!
▶How to write a report, form.
▶[Group Email] 1st year students, please submit a team match report within May.
▶Academy mid-term inspection log.
▶2, 3 Bocchan’s current status report.
▶… … .
An unexpected mail arrived.
The blinking text ‘NEW!’ next to it informs you that the mail has not been checked yet.
His gaze, which had been glancing at her as if brushing her hair with a towel, focused at once.
“It came sooner than I thought… … ?”
I pulled the chair back and sat down, leaning my upper body toward the monitor.
The letters on the screen get bigger and the text comes in at a glance.
Only then did Lee Young-woong, satisfied, place the mouse cursor over the mailbox and open the report.
– Sample 13311 analysis results.
The report that started with ‘The above samples are analyzed and the results are as follows’ was quite long.
When he first opened the report, Lee Young-woong’s narrow eyes, which were drawing an arc, slowly changed to a straight line.
– Shows considerable identity with human genes.
Put your hand over your mouth and scratch your chin.
So, is that giant a human? Possibility of being a child-type monster?
-This research center did not rule out the possibility that it was a monster, and as a result of comparative analysis with the subhuman (similar) genes possessed, none of them showed any similarity.
“Is the police statement true? What appears to be a clash between the Awoken… … ?”
Not content with leaning his upper body, he sat close enough to the desk.
-The most similar species were beast-type monsters, but they were much closer to humans than they were. If it’s a monster, it’s presumed to be a new species never seen before, and if it’s a human, it looks like a body-type awakening.
“The body system… … . He’s a physical type ability. There is no income whatsoever.”
-The sample will be resent to the registered address via courier.
Lee Young-woong, who lost his pulse, tried to close the report as it was, but suddenly the golden sun came to mind.
Blonde hair with dark roots. A skill that is not easily seen around.
Lee Young-woong, who had been looking at the report carefully for a while, drew an arc again.
Copy the email as a screenshot and move it to the new mailbox.
And then immediately started writing mail somewhere.
He wrote an e-mail address that went directly to the intelligence team within the family, and he laughed and muttered quietly.
“If at all possible, it would be better to handle it with certainty.”
– I want to revise the contents of the report. ‘It shows perfect resemblance to humans and is presumed to be human.’
After pressing the send button, Lee Young-woong turned off the computer.
The next day, Lee Young-woong, who took the sample and the revised report that arrived by courier, headed to the waiting room where the gold team would be.
