45. Black Market (2)
I looked at Choi Bit-na, who was running towards me.
With eyes mixed with joy and embarrassment.
“Master! Master!”
Choi Bit-na called me her teacher even though Changwang Lee Ji-gwang, who became her real teacher, started running toward her.
Bitna Choi, who had run up to her nose, pressed her forehead with her index finger before it collided with mine.
He blocked Choi Bit-na’s rush and pointed to the letters written in a very archaic style on the wall of her pillar.
Please be considerate and quiet for all customers to use the market smoothly.
“Quiet.”
My firm words killed Choi Bit-na’s bold nature. Very little
“Me, Jeong-suk.”
“Yeah, well done.”
Unknowingly, I stroked the crown of Choi Bit-na.
Have you been petted by Sword Master too much, and a mechanism has been created to tell someone to do it the same way?
“Whoops.”
A strange sound came out of Choi Bitna’s mouth. I hurriedly raised her right hand that was stroking Choi Bit-na. Of course, it was because Bitna Choi started making her weird noises.
When I stopped stroking, Bitna Choi grabbed my wrist.
“Houng? Why stop?”
Because strange sounds started to come out of your mouth.
I passed it over without saying anything and bowed her head toward the object that had approached right behind Choi Bit-na.
It was Lee Ji-kwang, one of the Ten Lords.
He was wearing a casual suit. However, his clothes did not completely hide his large and muscular body.
The appearance alone gave off a vicious spirit.
“Hello.”
Lee Ji-gwang looked at my face with a hard face. I’ve heard that he always sticks to his neatly styled hair.
“Yes, nice to meet you. Cadet Lee Do-jin.”
Lee Ji-gwang held out his big hand to me.
“Thank you for discovering my student’s talent and reminding him of it.”
I felt the sincerity in those honest words.
“If it wasn’t for me, I would have awakened that talent one day.”
Lee Ji-guang nodded slowly.
“That would be it. It would have taken a very long time though.”
Lee Ji-gwang pointed at Choi Bit-na with her chin.
“Isn’t that why he tolerates me even if he calls me his second teacher?”
It was absurd.
As expected, Bitna Choi was not normal. Because she trained like that day, did she push a person who is about the level of a spear king to the second rank?
“Why am I your first teacher? Changwang.”
Bitna Choi shook her head.
“If it weren’t for you, I’d still be trembling at the sight of people? And if I hadn’t performed well in the simulated dungeon test, I wouldn’t have caught the King’s eyes.”
Choi Bit-na’s eyes were filled with her desire for something. Those eyes filled with sincere gratitude radiated an intelligent light.
Looking at those eyes, I couldn’t bear to say the same thing as before.
I couldn’t keep suppressing the words I was so grateful for.
The Changwang laughed loudly.
“Cheuk! Let it go, I gave up. I’m satisfied with my second teacher.”
To understand that and be satisfied.
It was fortunate that Changwang was more personable than I thought.
“When the time comes, come to the Prism Guild.”
Changwang Lee Ji-kwang was the master of the Prism Guild.
Lee Ji-gwang raised the corner of his mouth.
“The appearance you showed in the mock dungeon test was definitely enough to arouse a sense of awe as a fellow fighter.”
It wasn’t just words, it was a serious tone.
“Okay.”
Choi Bit-na, who was standing still next to her, thrust her head into her side again.
“Come often during summer vacation! I’ll be in the guild all the time during vacation.”
“Okay.”
There are more and more places to go during summer vacation. In the end, the first thing to be resolved is to deal with Geomje So Dae-cheol.
This time someone appeared behind me.
“It’s been a while. Gwangi.”
Gwangi?
I wondered who you were referring to. It was a word referring to the window king Lee Ji-gwang in front of him.
“…I told you not to call me that. Sister.”
“Puhhhhh!”
Yoo Seol-ah laughed heartily and then approached Choi Bit-na, who was looking at her with her bright eyes.
“Are you Ji-gwang’s disciple?”
Bitna Choi suddenly began to tremble all over her body. She raised her eyes as if she saw an incredible alien.
“Swordsman! I’m a fan!”
She suddenly threw her body at Yoo Seol-ah. Choi Bit-na rubbed her own face against her Yu Seol-ah’s chest.
Baek Hwa-yeon, who was standing next to me, twisted his mouth in amazement at the sight.
It’s very skinship without adding or subtracting.
“Wow!”
Lee Ji-gwang, who couldn’t see it, grabbed the disciple’s shoulders and pulled him away from the sword.
“Wow, that was great.”
Choi Bit-na suddenly wiped her mouth and said. What was so good about?
“The teacher’s exclusive instructor was swordsman?”
Choi Bitna, who came to my side again, looked at me and narrowed her eyebrows.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“You didn’t ask.”
“I didn’t ask! But how can a human go around without talking about it when Swordsman became a dedicated instructor!”
Is it normal to talk about it?
Actually, when Choi Bit-na became a disciple of King Chang, she told me almost immediately at a drinking party.
“The swordsman is the idol of many female cadets! Light! Hope!”
Be quiet.
Choi Bit-na shouted with a confident tone, but Baek Hwa-yeon, her disciple, looked bewildered.
“Su, was Master like that?”
Certainly, Baek Hwa-yeon, who has lived every day with Swordswoman since childhood, could have been less mysterious about her teacher.
A soft word. However, Choi Bit-na, who heard her words like a ghost, pushed her face into her this time.
“Do-jin’s friend! Her name is Baek Hwa-yeon, right?”
“Ugh, yes.”
Didn’t Kwanjong say that she would shrink her body when she saw more Kwanjong? Baek Hwa-yeon, who has a pretty lively personality, seemed extremely normal in front of Choi Bit-na.
“You were the swordsman’s disciple.”
Muttering lowly, Bitna Choi glanced at the spear she was carrying.
“Why did I choose a spear as a weapon!”
Isn’t that what you’re saying right now that your teacher, King Chang, doesn’t like it?
It’s a sin to be so honest like that.
Lee Ji-kwang, who seems innocent even if he cries at this level, burst out with his unique laugh, contrary to my thoughts.
“Cluck! You’re naturally gifted with spearmanship, so even holding a sword is useless.”
That was true.
When she held her sword to Choi Bit-na, she didn’t make her ghostly instinctive movements like when she used a spear.
“Even if you die and wake up, you can’t become Sister’s disciple. You can’t escape the grip of this body. Disciple.”
Listening behind the scenes, the two got along quite well as master and disciple.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been here. Shall I go see the boss? How is it?”
The Swordsman’s words were headed towards the King of the Spears.
The Changwang nodded his head.
“It’s been a while since I haven’t seen that guy’s face, so I’ll have to take a look.”
The swordmaster scanned the three cadets.
“Follow me.”

The destination seemed to be the 30th floor, the highest floor.
***
The 30th floor, the top floor of the Black Market.
That was where the president’s office was.
And of course, the top floor was not a place anyone could enter.
I reached the 30th floor by taking the unofficial elevator that started in the basement.
Even so, after verifying her identity with two big bodyguards, she was able to gain full access to the 30th floor.
A brown-haired woman wearing round, oversized glasses rose from an expensive-looking office chair.
It was Kim Yeo-ryeong, an Awakener who had awakened a special class called Analyst, and the president of the black market here.
“Welcome. Swordsman, Changwang.”
“Yes, lady.”
“It’s been a while. President Kim.”
The Swordsman greeted first, followed by the Changwang.
Lee Do-jin lowered his head once and looked around the 30th floor. It was because a lot of miscellaneous goods and artifacts other than weapons caught my eye.
Bitna Choi and Hwayeon Baek also gazed at the various accessories that radiated light with their eyes shining.
“The children who are still here cannot be sold because their emotions are not over.”
Kim Yeoryeong welcomed the disciples of her fate.
In all kinds of rare and unidentified items.
What caught Dojin Lee’s attention was none other than a very small tree in an old pot.
It’s so unusual that you can’t tell if it’s a tree or a trunk.
As Lee Do-jin was looking at the tree, brown hair pricked up from the side.
“It’s a tree that was found in the dungeon a few days ago in its original form in an old flowerpot. That small tree didn’t respond to appraisal. Even when watered, it didn’t show any unusual reaction. It’s clear that it’s alive. Maybe it’s just a tree. “
“I see.”
Kim Yeo-ryeong, who cannot easily guess her age, captured Lee Do-jin in her eyes.
“It looks like you’re the student Dojin Lee who is attracting the attention of everyone involved in the academy. It’s surprising that you’re more ordinary than I thought.”
If Kim Yeo-ryeong had the ability to interpret people as well as objects, she would not have been able to say that Do-jin Lee, who lives and breathes Mistil Thein in her body, would not have been normal.
Kim Yeoryeong smiled at her eyes.
“If you get a hunter license, I’ll make you a black market membership. Come anytime.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Kim Yeo-ryeong smiled her eyes again and headed back to the place where Geomhu and Changwang were.
Lee Do-jin raised her hand and touched a small tree just in case.
Dream-frame
‘Hmm?’
I thought it was because of my mood, so I touched it again.
Wriggle!
‘It moved.’
Obviously moved. Upon closer inspection, it appeared that a faint green light was emanating from the studded part.
I heard the voice of Misteltein in the advice ego state.
