53. Festival (1)
Baek Hwa-yeon huffed and puffed for a while after the phone call with Lee Do-jin ended. And it was the same for Choi Bitna, who was next to her.
“That’s more of a problem. It doesn’t sound like a lie.”
Choi Bit-na was still looking through her mirror at her earrings hanging in her ears.
The diamond flashed a brilliant light.
Even after I found out that he took off a set. The earrings Lee Do-jin gave her were still pretty.
At Choi Bit-na’s words, Baek Hwa-yeon nodded her head.
“Yeah, I don’t know how bizarre he did.”
It must have been a sign of pure gratitude. It must be true that she gave it in parts, fearing that it would be burdensome to give it as a set.
There are things that are more terrifying because they are sincere.
Bitna Choi burst into laughter.
“Ahahahaha! We met to study together, but I didn’t expect to find such a disaster.”
After meeting at the black market, Choi Bit-na and Baek Hwa-yeon met several more times and became close.
The content of the written test was the same as the class asked for, so we were going to meet and study together, but I found that Baek Hwa-yeon’s necklace and Choi Bit-na’s earrings were identical in design.
Baek Hwa-yeon fiddled with her necklace in the middle of her collarbone.
“How can I make him a normal person?”
Bitna Choi vomited a big smile at Baek Hwa-yeon’s sincere words.
“Is it possible? What makes Dojin normal? Huh? This isn’t something a bad guy decided to fish for.”
Baek Hwa-yeon nodded her head.
“He’s not a bad guy, he’s a crazy guy.”
The problem is that she fell for that madman properly. Baek Hwa-yeon clicked her tongue.
“I won’t make the same mistakes anymore, well.”
Bitna Choi also sincerely hoped that.
“Let’s do our best, we….”
It was normal for two people who have a crush on the same object to keep each other in check, but strangely, I didn’t think so. Because the target was a crazy person who couldn’t imagine.
Facing an innovative madman, the two warriors develop camaraderie.
***
So Yoo-eun’s father and master of the Guild, sword master So Dae-cheol was watching a video in his office.
“….”
With a very firm face.
In the video, a man in a battle suit was fighting an unknown beast with a wooden sword.
There was no veteran hunter who had been rolling for decades in the hunter world for the man’s movement that shook the colorless sword and choked the beast’s breath.
The continuous attack at the end was not even able to capture the process properly even though the performance of the CCTV was quite good. Beams of light distorted all directions.
“Lee Do-jin.”
So Daecheol could only recite the name.
He thought he was an arrogant kid who believed in trivial power. But that wasn’t it.
The youngster who wields this wooden sword possesses enough strength to deserve arrogance.
“I’m going to have to trample it completely.”
Nevertheless, she still has the upper hand.
Platoon Cheol, who even checked the video of him dealing with Professor Woon Hyeong-cheol, was still convinced that he was stronger than Lee Do-jin.
“After one or two years….”
At that time, it was impossible to conclude that the result of his match was his unconditional victory.
This is truly a terrifying talent. To the point of being a little afraid.
And to the point of jealousy.
“I have to break the Danjeon.”
There was a low desire in the eyes of Sword Emperor So Dae-cheol.
He is jealous of the huge jewel he was never born with.
An obscene desire stemming from wanting to deprive the other person of what they have.
***
The one who was watching Lee Do-jin’s video wasn’t the only swordsmith.
“This cadet is Cadet Lee Do-jin, one of the people Vice-Chancellor Cecilia allowed to spread to the tower.”
The pattern of a long, white snake was drawn on the black wall. And a huge snake was embroidered on the ceiling as well.
Commonly referred to as the ‘World Order Maintenance Coalition’.
And they were called ‘watchers’ in the world.
It is said to be a household, but the number of people who clearly knew about the existence of Jormungand was very few in each country.
Basically, only those invited can enter the tower.
However, when the tower is opened, a password is provided from then on. If you say the password, you will be qualified to take the test of the tower.
Controlling the flow of information about the ‘Tower’ was the top priority.
From noble mtl dot com
From the flow of information to the Internet, a sea of information. From reality to the fact that information about the existence of the ‘Tower’ flows through the mouth. Collected all streams for the tower.
And when information flowed unnecessarily, it was playing the role of swiftly punishing it. Whether it’s on the network. Whether in reality
40 Years.
Jormungandd was the oldest among hunter-related groups, and was also the most veiled group.
Jormungandr was everywhere. Wherever the story of the ‘Tower’ can flow.
“From what I’ve been told by an agent who is an instructor at the academy, he seems to have enough talent and personality to deserve an invitation.”
“Murder?”
“I have many records of killing villains. I don’t think I have the temper to kill for personal gain.”
“The slayers will stick around. Keep telling them to be included on the watch list.”
The white snake was hiding all over the world and was paying attention to everyone’s mouths and ears.
***
Two weeks passed quickly. All first-year students of Iroas Academy, including Lee Do-jin, had to spend two hectic weeks due to the delayed written exam.
And the results of the test came out.
“… Such crazy.”
The blond man twisted her mouth at the grade sheet hanging on the wall behind her.

“Why is Baek Hwa-yeon ranked first?”
Why is Baek Hwa-yeon, who learned to study on her own until the day before the exam, is ranked first? Next to Kang Chan-hyung, Yeon Bong-hong’s head appeared.
“Hey, Teacher Kang! Thanks to you, I got first place! What is this Cheongchuleoram?”
Baek Hwa-yeon smiled and patted Chan-hyung Kang on the shoulder. Kang Chan-hyung burst into laughter as if Baek Hwa-yeon said little.
“I’ll buy a meal once! Teacher Kang!”
“… Good.”
Kang Chan-hyung felt his blood pressure rise at Baek Hwa-yeon’s words.
So he closed his eyes tightly and ignored Baek Hwa-yeon’s sarcasm.
Baek Hwa-yeon hummed and went back to her seat. A diamond necklace given by Lee Do-jin hung around Baekhwa-yeon’s neck.
“You did well on the test.”
Lee Do-jin said to Baek Hwa-yeon.
At those words, Bai Hwa Yeon did not hide her joy.
“Actually, I was lucky with both problems! Luck is also skill! Hee hee!”
As if Baek Hwa-yeon wanted someone to listen, she shouted loudly. And Kang Chan-hyung, who heard that, grabbed him by the back of his neck. Because he was genuinely angry.
“Do-jin is in 7th place. I won the study!”
“Oh, yes.”
Lee Do-jin had no thoughts about the result of his written test because he avoided the failing grade for his withdrawal from the scholarship.
“Chi, that’s no fun.”
When Baek Hwa-yeon didn’t get the reaction she expected, she puffed up her cheeks.
I heard the thick voice of the man to the left of Lee Do-jin.
It was Park Seong-gu.
“There’s only one term left.”
The final exam is in two weeks. It was almost like a midterm exam, like a written exam, and it was taken almost consecutively. Because of the Incident, the schedule for almost three weeks was messed up.
“The final exam must be practical. That one is famous for always doing it grandly.”
Seonggu Park raised the corner of his mouth as if he was looking forward to it. Lee Do-jin did not pay much attention to his friends’ speculation. There should be one or two combat madmen. In the eyes of others, Lee Do-jin did not yet know that Lee Do-jin was more of a combat fanatic.
Drreuk-
Park Cheol-woong, the homeroom teacher of combat class 1, entered the classroom and projected something on the blackboard screen.
Park Cheol-woong pressed the remote control.
“The final exam is a tournament-style fight. One-on-one battle between cadets. This time it is not a mock battle. There is no system that makes death a thing. Instead, it will be conducted under the strict supervision of instructors.”
The period for the end of the term was set as the appetizer period in the third week of July. Because it was a tournament format, the number of matches was considerable.
“The brackets are random. And I believe.”
Park Chul-woong paused for a moment and smiled. His white dry teeth were exposed.
“That means that you, who are in the first class of combat, will not fall into the grass.”
Park Cheol-woong’s stern face looked like he would kill himself if he fell into the grass.
“And next week, as you all know, is a three-day festival. Singers and idols will come.”
Ohhhhh!!
A rare admiration flowed from the mouths of the combat class 1 students.
Famous hunters appear in video media as often as actors or idols, but singers and idols were still in demand.
Because there are no cases where voice or dancing skills are manifested as awakening abilities.
“Let’s just treat the next week as a festival and enjoy it. After all, a week of hard work won’t change anything.”
Lee Do-jin had no interest in the story of the festival.
‘I have to go see the old swordsman once.’
I was thinking of learning a lesson from Sword Demon Jeong Yong-ha.
“Oh, the book club said something was going on during the festival.”
Baek Hwa-yeon, who doesn’t read books at all, but is in a reading club, glanced at her cell phone.
Lee Do-jin confirmed that his mobile phone was also vomiting vibrations.
It was the text of the letter.
-Can you help with club events during the festival? Albany Zoom.
“Oh.”
Come to think of it, you said you were going to a martial arts club with a senior, but you never went.
Lee Do-jin replied that he would do so.
