The moment I saw Mom and Ji-hwan, the thoughts
that had filled my head disappeared, and only one question came to my mind .
I wonder if maybe I’ve seen something wrong .
… that, yes… , I must have misunderstood… . I will… .
I tried to affirm the question that popped into my head, and after sneaking away, I closed my eyes and recalled the moment my mother and Jihwan entered the office .
Then my mother… .
Carefully set hair and… .
Black blouse with floral print… .
A red skirt that went down to her thighs… .
And she was wearing dark stockings .
“… .”
My brain became white .
Even the doubt that I might have misunderstood disappeared , and only the
uncomfortably pounding heartbeat engulfed my mind .
“… 👌👌👌👌 .”
I hurriedly left the hallway, clasping my trembling hands, soaked in anxiety .
I
ran away from the worst reality ,
holding on to the anxious hope that I might have been misunderstood .

After the interview with my wife, on the way back to the classroom .
As I was walking through the empty hallway, something suddenly flashed in front of my eyes .
A hologram floating in the air .
[ ! Emergency! Please comfort Min So-yeon. *Death on failure ]
└ Reward for success *Alexandria’s Lost Ancient Document: Ex-class, just possessing it increases the amount of magical power and improves the efficiency of magic .
It was a ‘message’ I haven’t seen in a long time .
By the way… ,
“… what ?”
A little, no… , which is strange overall .
It’s strange to ask Soyeon to comfort Soyeon, but if she fails, she’ll die ?
Above all, it is very suspicious that Ex-class items have been offered as a reward out of nowhere . When it comes to
Ex -class items, it is a treasure that can be managed at the national level .
In the beginning, few countries own it, and there is only one in our country, and it is such a huge thing .
I was saving the leftover ‘mermaid’s tears’ for the best efficiency… .
It’s an Ex-class item that is so rare that I haven’t even heard of its name !
It was something I had no reason to refuse .
“… uh… .”
But that makes it even more reluctant .
Isn’t it strange that it’s not a dangerous mission like saving Lee Dae-san, who is in danger, and that they offered such extreme rewards and penalties just to appease So-yeon ?
It felt as if he was compelling me to follow .
“… .”
Of course, aside from the reward, I have no intention of denying that something happened to Soyeon and that my life is at stake .
It just feels like I’m playing as the ‘message’ leads, so I’m just not in a good mood .
Please take a moment to think about the mission that was given so suddenly .
… Can’t help it… .
Inevitably, I decided to follow the ‘message’ and headed back to the classroom .
And as time goes by… . It’s time for the
closing ceremony .
… Where the hell did you go ?
I touched the quiet cell phone in an uneasy mind, and looked at the still empty seat next to me .
“… .” Was there a reason for
‘ Message’ to put such a formidable condition ?
It’s time to leave school soon, but I still haven’t been able to find Soyeon’s whereabouts .
Since I saw your face in the morning, I’m sure you went to school, and seeing that your luggage is still there, it doesn’t look like you’ve returned home… .
Whatever the mission, I started to get anxious because I was worried about Soyeon .
… driving me crazy… .
Waiting for a reply with such an anxious heart, while sending a message to Soyeon… .
Tok- Tok- Tok- [
Where are you? ]
[ Please reply , too ]
[ I’m worried about that ]
““ Good job !!””
As if the ceremony was over, the students began to leave the classroom .
“… ha… .”
It’s something I can’t wait for, so I left a message to Soyeon and went home alone .
On the way to Soyeon’s house, thinking of a place where Soyeon might be .
“… Oh, maybe… .”
I remembered that my wife and Soyeon had started training, so I contacted my wife just in case .
But… .
[ … I still couldn’t reach you, so I tried to ask, but what’s going on ? ]
My wife couldn’t contact me, so I was just asking about Soyeon’s whereabouts .
Did something happen that I couldn’t even tell my mother ?
I wondered if my wife would be worried, so I hung up the phone moderately, and then hurriedly moved .
And I arrived at Soyeon’s house .
profit –
“… didn’t you come… ?”
I carefully opened the front door and looked around the house, but there was no sign of Soyeon going in or out .
“… where did he go… .”
Taking a heavy sigh and putting down my luggage, I sat on the porch and started looking for places Soyeon could go on my cell phone .
PC room, cafe, etc… .
“ It’s a lot… .”
They were a bit high, but if you narrowed down the academy and the neighborhood around your home, it wasn’t too bad .
“… great… !” As
soon as I woke up, having decided to go around and look for it myself , something came up in a flash –
again, a flash in front of my eyes
.
A familiar appearance, this time it was a ‘message’ .
By the way… .
[ Pinoa ]
I couldn’t even guess what he was trying to say .
… Pinoa? What’s this… .
I folded my arms and pondered, but rather than understanding what was written in the ‘message’, I shifted my mind to understanding the intention of the ‘message’ .
“… Well… .”
‘ Message’ wants me to appease Soyeon .
So, I put forward the extreme condition of death or an Ex-class item, and I think I want to meet Soyeon as soon as possible .
But in the midst of this, why is it suddenly sending an unknown message and holding onto my ankle ?
“ Oh .”
At that moment, a guess popped into my mind .
… no way… . The speculation that the
‘ message’ may have sent a hint is .
I searched for the word ‘Pinoa’ on my cell phone just in case, and among the few results, an eye-catching article caught my eye .
[ Pinoa PC Room ]
There was only one PC room in the country, even near the Academy .
Maybe Soyeon is here .
“… .”
I turned my gaze away from the phone and glanced at the ‘message’ floating in the air .
A ‘message’ that keeps you out of the way as if to go quickly .
I don’t know why they guide me by giving hints, but anyway, I was able to find Soyeon’s whereabouts .
So I left my doubts about the ‘message’ buried for a while, and rushed to the ‘Pinoa PC Room’ .
*
[ Pinoa PC Room … B1 ]
“… hahaha… .”
Pinoa PC Room… . found… !
Taking a deep breath, I checked the PC room signboard, checked the number of floors where the PC room was, and quickly moved towards the stairs .
That’s it- !
“… Whoo… .”
After I got to the basement, I slowly pushed the door of the PC room while slowly raising my magic to unleash the detection magic .
Jalang –
When you open the door, you can hear the voices of young children hitting your ears and the sound of the game vividly coming from everywhere .
“… Yah! Catch that bastard !”
“ I really can’t eat eighteen, is this a game ?”
“ No, if you do this, of course you support it! Ahhh !!!”
Even the mysterious smell of a mixture of the unique damp smell of the basement and the scent of cheap air fresheners .
It is the same as the PC room in the faint memories .
“… .”
After activating the sensing magic, I looked around and slowly moved inward .
And after a while . I sensed something before the
sting –
sensing magic had even spread, and I hurriedly turned my head to look at where the reaction came from .
“… Soyeon… ! … huh ?”
Young faces gathered over the window that says [ Smoking Room] .
They were all smoking cigarettes, dressed in poor clothes, and among them was a
familiar face .
“… .”
It was Min So-yeon .
Lost in words at the moment of unbelievable sight, I instinctively took a deep breath and moved forward slowly .
… Let’s calm down… .
As I approached the smoking room, I slowly took a deep breath and pulled the door open .
Hwa-a-ak –
The stinky cigarette smoke that comes out of the inside .
I frowned involuntarily, and quickly released my grimacing expression and entered the smoking room .
“ What ?”
“ Do you know him ?”
The students giggled and looked back .
I set aside their attention and looked at Min So-yeon among the girls .
As if staring blankly at the floor, she slowly raised her head and made eye contact with the students around her .
Her darkly locked eyes began to tremble as if they were terrified the moment they saw me .
… Soyeon-ah… .
A little bit ahead of my worries, I barely regained my composure and spoke carefully .
“ Soyeon-ah. I’m here to pick you up, let’s go together .”
Then, the students surrounding Min So-yeon chatted with each other .
“ No, what is it? did you have a boyfriend I was really looking forward to it… .”
“ Huh? Hey, the reaction doesn’t seem like it ?”
“ This year, I said I was ignoring you for some reason… . He’s such a good boyfriend, so he doesn’t catch my eye .”
“You bastards, doesn’t a bitch who looks like this have a boyfriend? uh… .”
Slightly offended by the strange last words, I spread my magic and stepped towards Soyeon .
“… uh, uh… . Kek… !”
“… Whoops, whoops… .”
“… Sah, save me… !”
Students who drop out quickly .
After gaining my magic, I gently stretched out my hand to Soyeon, who was sitting alone .
“ Let’s go .”
Then, Soyeon looked at my hand for a moment , then glanced at my hand
again and spoke .
“… I hate it .”
