Episode 47. storm (3)
[Uncle Ray: Hamel is doing well, so don’t worry. ]
[ me : yes. But why aren’t you contacting me? ]
[Uncle Ray: Well. ]
Dante felt uncomfortable in a corner of his heart.
I take out the DVD that Hamel gave me as a gift and look at it.
‘Are you mad that I suddenly left?’
I honestly don’t know.
Since then, we’ve kept in touch and got along well.
‘Should I visit once during vacation?’
We’ve been together for 10 years and we’ve had small fights, but we’ve never had a big fight. He was a friend I trusted and depended on more than anyone else. A part of my heart ached.
Conversely, what if Hamel suddenly left?
Of course I would have been upset.
However, I had no choice but to wonder when the child who had been contacted suddenly refused to contact me.
Alicia was admitted to Superman Hospital in the Main District. To be precise, I was forcibly hospitalized.
「The rude behavior of a student at a prestigious academy! 」
「During the Stellar student interview, she swears and leaves her seat… … 」
Alicia and Fabio’s actions caused a stir for a while.
In response, the school hospitalized the two and raised a problem with excessive coverage by journalists. The reaction was that people were rather cool inside. If we could define the media history of this era in one word, it would be ‘garbage’.
In particular, Fabio’s behavior of covering Alicia with a jacket drew attention. His actions were discussed by popular Next Tubers, and even a personal fan site was created.
Alicia also has a fan base, although not as much as Fabio.
The two were discharged after a week.
From the entrance of the hospital to the central station. The media, Next Tuber, and even the paparazzi followed suit.
“Miss Alicia! Blow it up just once!”
“Your green hair is so pretty!”
“Can’t you two hang out together?”
“Fit well!”
Some people handed over letters and gifts, and agencies handed over business cards.
It happened in just 5 days.
Upon boarding the flight shuttle to Stella, Alicia clicked her tongue.
“What is all this about? If the paparazzi get caught, I’ll give them everything and beat them up.”
As she said that, a small smile spread across her face.
Fabio looked outside and waved until the shuttle took off.
“Would you like to hang out with me right now?”
“Why? How far do you think these people will go? Maybe in a month you’ll be chasing someone else?”
The words and actions of superhumans easily became a hot topic and usually did not last long.
Alicia spoke with a short sigh.
“But what about our ancestors?”
“I know. There is a senior who plays basketball with me every day.”
What the reporter said at the time of the interview was a lie.
It is true that 50 people did not return, but their deaths have not yet been confirmed.
On the list of missing persons are 20 Stella seniors and 25 AA seniors. And there were five incumbent superintendents.
Alicia’s long hair was rolled up and tied with a hair tie.
“You’re a super famous person who rode with those seniors. So, will you live?”
“… … .”
Instead of answering, Fabio stared blankly at Alicia.
“What. Why are you looking at me with such greasy eyes?”
“You better let your hair loose.”
“okay?”
“It’s better to cover it with your hair.”
“Oh ho ho ho. Does our Fabio have two lives? Come on. Come on!”
same time.
Dante was in the middle of preparing for a commercial shoot.
A temporary dressing room was set up in the meeting room.
Dante, Danji, and Phrygia were reborn as new people through the hands of experts.
The staff who were watching quietly exchanged conversations.
“Aren’t all three bad?”
“Superhumans have solid bodies. what is the face Just cover it up with makeup.”
“That black-haired girl doesn’t have a very pretty face, but isn’t she very attractive? Is it supposed to be something darkly attractive?”
After preparing first, Dante and Gu Danji sat together and had a conversation. When Dante tried to drink, one of the staff quickly inserted a straw and handed it to him.
“It erases the lip, so drink with it.”
“Ah, yes.”
Dante took a sip of his drink and talked.
“Isn’t it very strange?”
“huh!”
“I didn’t expect so many people to come.”
30 staff members came to the short shooting of about 5 hours. They treated me kindly, as if I were a celebrity.
It feels like the world revolves around me. It was a feeling I had never felt before.
“I knew you wouldn’t.”
“That, is it? hmm… … i am you… … .”
At that time, Freesia, who had finished remodeling, joined.
“and. just so pretty Right Dante?”
“uh? uh.”
“You’ve become very cool too?”
“thank you.”
“Actually, I wasn’t going to advertise, but you said you were doing it, so I agreed.”
From noble mtl dot com
Kudanji thought as he rubbed his fingernails.
‘I was going to say that too… … .’
Freesia left an empty seat and dared to sit next to Dante.
Dante did not understand Phrygia’s words well.
‘You agreed because of me? why?’
Except for the meeting in the team final, I had never really been involved with Freesia.
Freesia continued.
“Until last year, senior Jeremy did it. I guess it could be compared. So I hesitated. I wanted to get to know you.”
“… … okay?”
“During the semi-finals, you came up against the kids from prestigious families. I thought it was really cool. I just talked about you often. right?”
Gu Danji nodded his head with an awkward smile.
Since the Zordic twins incident, no one has directly cursed or harassed anyone. However, the club site was still a club site.
No matter what the personality of the twin was, there were many people who wanted to be associated with that family. It is not easy to make friends with a single-digit family. It was possible because this place was a prestigious academy.
In particular, the Zordic mercenaries are famous for giving a lot of money. It was a place where many superhumans wanted to join.
In this situation, Freesia reached out to Gudanji first. The two share a room and talk a lot.
“I’m going to start filming. I will move in front of the Stella Tower.”
The atmosphere on set was quite good. The staff were also excited.
Stella Academy is a restricted area for outsiders. Outside photography was also prohibited, except in very special cases.
“wow. It shows off the real money on campus.”
One of the staff was stopped by the PD while trying to take a picture with his personal cell phone.
“Are you out of your mind? Who is doing this to cut off the food line? hey! Who brought him!”
After a small commotion.
Filming started.
He travels around campus and takes turns shooting individual scenes and group scenes. There was no dialogue, so there was nothing too difficult.
by the time the sun goes down
Dante and the children changed into gym clothes. It was a scene of running around the campus and running up to Star Hill.
Freesia talked while watching the sunset.
“My school is the prettiest at this time. Like the sunset and the street lights.”
Make-up corrections are made once.
The PD looked at the students and talked.
“From here, we run side by side to the Stella Tower. Run at full speed from the tower to Star Hill as if you were competing.”
“yes!”
If it’s running, isn’t it something you’ve been doing every day?
Above all, I was confident.
It must have turned five times like that.
“I’ll do one last turn and shoot the last scene on Star Hill.”
Only, Dante and Phrygia stood side by side and started running again.
By the time we arrived near the Stella Tower. A high-speed object flew towards the children from somewhere.
Dante reflexively stretched out his hand in front of Gudanji’s face.
puck!
When I grabbed it, it was a baseball.
The club manager was perplexed and asked.
“What is that?”
It was only after the children stopped that the staff understood the situation.
“what? are you okay?”
“Someone threw a baseball.”
It also carries mana.
At least, the club site was almost right.
If you’re the kind of person who would do something like this, it’s obvious.
‘Twins.’
They were still doing volunteer work on campus. There was no sign of remorse at all.
Freesia patted Gudanji on the back and comforted her.
“If it wasn’t for Dante, it would have been a big deal. are you okay?”
“Yes… … . I had no idea. me… … .”
The baseball was loaded with so little mana that even the team couldn’t feel it.
Dante looked in the direction the ball came from, but saw nothing. It is a ball that flies in a straight line from quite a distance.
‘Were the twins this good? It’s not… … .’
It is common sense that an object with mass receives gravity and flies in a parabola. However, throwing a very small amount of mana in a straight line meant that he had high-level control skills.
Freesia spoke with an uneasy expression.
“Who is it? Are you seniors? Are you mad that we filmed an advertisement when we were new?”
“Maybe. But isn’t this a bit too much? How can you just aim for the face?”
“that’s right. Just how pretty… … .”
In the meantime, the staff replayed the previous scene on a slow screen.
Smiles spread across the faces of the PD and camera directors.
“Would you like to edit this scene and use it?”
“I know. Stop running here and go all the way?”
“yes.”
While the filming team moved to Starburst Hill.
Jia Han headed to the dorm with a smile of repentance.
‘I made a picture for you. Dante you bastard You got it, right?’
I didn’t throw the ball just because it was Han Ji-ah. She is a world-renowned master of control. If someone didn’t get it, I thought I’d slip it away so the kids wouldn’t get hit.
‘So Dante is more sensitive to mana than Danji?’
It didn’t matter who received it.
However, it was a little unexpected that Dante, not the club, received the ball.
That night.
Jia Han sent a text message to all three of them. The baseball was an unexpected scenario that was concocted with the manager. I’m sorry.
‘Dante, Phrygia, only. It’s an interesting combination.’
Of the three, it was the club site that I was most worried about. Gudanji is the best at magic bullets, but he has never used magic before.
‘If you graduate like this… … Are you just going to struggle?’
If you graduate as a magician with the highest level of skill, many of them turn black. At the academy, magic bullets come first. But after graduation, things change drastically.
If I had to classify them, S-class magicians would be treated similarly to C-class magicians. It wasn’t like that from the beginning. At one time, there was a time when they were called superhuman without distinction between magicians and magicians.
It was after the development of mana ammunition that a thorough distinction between magicians and wizards began. A soldier holding a mana bullet replaced the low-ranking magician.
At the time, the magicians strongly protested, but to no avail.
‘Wizard’s Tower.’
The Wizards Union invested a lot of money to develop mana ammunition and climbed on the head of the magician.
It is the same now.
The highest level magicians experience limits that can never be crossed as they step into the superhuman society.
For this reason, the skilled magicians walk the dark path in despair. Recently, the anti-government organization LNP has been absorbing a large number of Matansa.
‘Someday, once in a while, something will explode.’
Jia Han hoped that children like Gu Danji would not fall into despair.
To change something, you have to climb to the top of the mage tower. However, the Mage Tower was a difficult place even for a genius like Jia Han to climb.
In order to reach the top of the Magic Tower, there are other things you need to possess besides skills.
‘Blind loyalty.’
This was the reason Jia Han left the Magic Tower. And one day, when the time comes, she was determined to return to the Mage Tower.

Cosmic navigation class time.
This is a compulsory course that all freshmen must take.
Professor Bibiano Perez emphasized the gravitational acceleration and the Earth’s escape velocity. Not many people listened.
“Escape velocity is the minimum speed at which an object can move away from a celestial body against gravity. Let’s calculate it once, excluding various external forces including air resistance. The universal gravitational constant is G… … .”
Claudio, who was sitting next to Dante, whispered.
“If gravitation is G, then GG is gravitational force.”
“… … .”
Dante was not interested in this theory either.
I wanted to hear experiences and interesting stories related to space voyages.
After two hours of formal explanations, the class was over.
“Okay, that’s it for today. Any questions?”
The students quietly packed their bags.
At that time, Professor Bibiano’s voice continued.
“Just a student. ask questions.”
I hear sighing everywhere.
Do not ask questions at the end of class. It was a national rule that anyone would know if they had gone through a normal education course.
However, the club had no way to know that.
“hmm… … Why don’t we do gravitational acceleration training?”
“Good question. Then I will briefly explain in about 5 minutes and then I will finish.”
Dante pondered the name of the club in his mind.
‘Just ask… … Gudanjii!’
sh*t.
