53

Before Seonghyun left the door, a scream was heard from behind.

The thick teeth were digging into the flesh, and the unavoidable pain was sublimating into a scream.

“…a proper ending.”

Seonghyeon waited in front of the door until the screaming stopped and then came out.

I don’t know what kind of steps Hoon will take in the future, but as long as he already had faith, he would at least keep what Seonghyun said.

Originally, I was going to keep coming to this place similar to the one-person gate, but Seong-hyeon decided to quit.

In Seong-hyeon’s memory, it was Choi Hoon who attacked the door, and Seong-hyeon didn’t want to take Choi’s opportunity like that.

Since he had already had faith, Choi Hoon’s power was no different from that of Seonghyun’s.

“…you will do well if you know how to do it.”

Since he was a hunter who was later listed as Korea’s representative hunter, there was no need for Seonghyeon to worry.

As I was about to go home, I got a call from an unexpected number.

“hello.”

“Oh, Seonghyeon student!”

“who…”

Perhaps it was a little surprising that he did not recognize his own voice, and after hearing a coughing sound over the receiver, he continued talking.

“It’s a bit sad if you don’t even know the homeroom teacher’s voice…”

“Ah… yes… so what…”

“Hey, I was wondering if I could come to the academy tomorrow with In-hwan and Sang-yeon.”

There was a sense of pride in the teacher’s voice.

‘Why is the homeroom teacher…?’

It sounded like he was preparing something.

“All right. Can I go to school at the usual time?”

“right. It shouldn’t be too late.”

“Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Yes, yes. Take care of yourself…”

Sung-hyun hung up the phone without listening to what he was saying.

Every time he came out like this, he kept thinking of the past and was the kind of person that he was more reluctant to deal with.

“You’ll find out what it is when you go tomorrow.”

Seong-hyeon left In-hwan and Sang-yeon in touch and went home.

“But what happened to the homeroom teacher all of a sudden?”

“You didn’t tell me what was going on.”

“It’s obvious. He is never a person who will take the initiative in something.”

In-hwan and Sang-yeon, whom I met before going to school, were constantly yawning and making annoying faces.

“Still, there is still a confrontation left, but I called, so there must be something.”

“Yeah, no matter how thoughtless the homeroom teacher is, wouldn’t it be so?”

At Inhwan’s words, Sangyeon vigorously shook her head and said.

“The homeroom teacher is a person who will be more than enough.”

After chatting for a while, we arrived at the front of the class.

As I was about to enter the class, I heard the teacher’s voice from behind.

I looked behind me and saw the teacher waving his hand with a bright smile on his face.

“Five! Come straight to the office.”

When I headed to the office, the other professors were all gone because they were just before class start time.

“It’s hard to see your face like this.”

“what happened?”

At Sang-yeon’s hard answer, the homeroom teacher coughed once and brought the envelope that was on her desk.

“Come on, take one.”

When I got the envelope from the homeroom teacher and opened it, there was a ticket with something like a small letter.

“…?”

All three of them looked at each other without knowing the English language and made a puzzled expression.

“Before you check your ticket, check that first.”

As the homeroom teacher said, when I first checked the letter included with the flight ticket, the first thing I saw was the official seal of the Academy.

[Dear Academy’s proud…]

Useless articles passed quickly, and the most important content was quickly checked.

[…for this reason, this year, especially before the final competition, the Academy presents a gift.]

“gift?”

In-hwan and Sang-yeon were all confirmed, and they were expressing their doubts about the word gift.

“Now, check your ticket. As it will be stated in the announcement, this year, especially before the final match, it was said that a gift would be given.”

Now it’s time to check the other ticket.

When I checked, it was a round-trip flight ticket for 3 nights and 4 days.

“Japan?”

“No, why…”

“Are you kidding me?”

The headmistress looked a little perplexed at the completely different reaction from what she had expected.

“It’s good to practice and practice, but sometimes it’s good to take a break like this.”

Actually, it wasn’t that bad of a story.

Up until now, there was no special schedule to call it a break.

A day when I don’t just go to the door to subjugate is a day of rest.

“That… have you ever been to Japan?”

At first, Inhwan, who had a strange reaction, asked Sunghyun and Sangyeon, as if a little excited by the scenery of Japan unfolding in his head.

“no? I haven’t been.”

“It is the same.”

“Then it’s okay to go there at least once…”

“Well… that would be fine.”

“A new experience is not bad.”

As soon as the conclusion was reached, the homeroom teacher sighed in relief.

“It’s two weeks after departure. Until then, you just have to prepare.”

However, there was something a little odd about it.

In Seonghyeon’s memory, the Academy had never done anything like this.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a pre-war gift, but why are you in Japan all of a sudden? It has never been like this before.”

At Seonghyeon’s question, the homeroom teacher pulled out his neck for a moment and looked out the window and whispered softly.

“I don’t know why, but there was a request that I would like to have a position like this at an academy in Japan first.”

“Direct from Japan?”

When the names of other countries appeared, the eyes of Inhwan and Sangyeon turned to Seonghyeon.

No matter who thought of it, the intention was clear, but it seemed that only the homeroom teacher did not know.

“We have a higher rank, wasn’t it something we could refuse?”

“Actually, there is no reason to refuse…because if you put your hand on an academy student in another country, it is like declaring war on all countries immediately. Don’t you know?”

There were international treaties not to harm an academy student’s family or the student themselves.

“Don’t ask for more details. I don’t even know what’s behind this.”

“Then can I go now?”

The homeroom teacher said in a slightly hesitant voice that he had more to say.

“Before that, only Sunghyun for a moment…”

“Whoa…Professor. We need to prepare for our battle.”

The homeroom teacher flinched a little at Sang-yeon’s annoying voice, but it seemed that Seong-hyeon had something left to do.

“It will be fine for a while. Would you like to go to the association first?”

“no. waiting.”

Sangyeon stared at the teacher with sharp eyes.

It’s like looking at your own eyes.

The headmistress replied with a smile.

“Father, don’t hurry up.”

Soon In-hwan and Sang-yeon left, and the homeroom teacher asked carefully.

“I was wondering if you remembered what I asked for in the past. haha.”

The reason the homeroom teacher asked to see Seong-hyun separately was simple.

It was because he had asked his acquaintance to treat him in the past.

“Oh, are you talking about that friend?”

“Yeah, yes! Do you remember?”

It had already been a little while since then.

‘I didn’t answer that time.’

It wasn’t really important, so I completely forgot about it.

“I was wondering if you have made a decision now.”

“I don’t like it.”

“Thank you…what?”

“I said no.”

Seong-hyeon did not hide his displeasure at all and ran out of the room.

“What’s your homeroom teacher?”

“It sounds the same as last time.”

“I saw that it came out quickly, so did you just say no?”

“of course.”

Whether Seong-hyeon’s answer was satisfactory, In-hwan and Sang-yeon stood up with satisfied smiles.

“Are you going to the association?”

“It should be.”

“ah! If that’s okay with you, would you like to go home today?”

“Your house?”

“We’ve been doing well so far, but we haven’t had a proper conversation yet…”

“Well, maybe it will be okay.”

Sung-hyun smiled lightly at Sang-yeon’s unexpected answer.

“But from this morning?”

“I do not care. there is no one.”

“How about getting a taxi? Are you planning to walk?”

“Ah, taxis can’t go in.”

“yes…?”

Seonghyeon and Sangyeon thought for a long time about what Inhwan meant.

But I couldn’t think of any other meaning than what I had heard.

“I know when I go.”

Fortunately, In-hwan’s house was not far away.

First of all, it was a little shocking.

Seonghyeon was living in a place supported by the academy, so it was close to the academy.

Having a house in the middle of such a city is not simply about having financial resources.

“Here.”

“Here…?”

It was Seonghyeon and Sangyeon, who had a lot of thoughts just by having a house in the city center, but when I saw the building where Inhwan said he had arrived, all those thoughts were blown away.

“Is this… a house?”

Rather than expressing it as a house, it was more appropriate to express it as a building.

“On the roof, the second floor is the house, the rest is for business. No one is home because I told you to leave for a while.”

Seonghyeon and Sangyeon, who were staring blankly at the building, came to their senses and tried to enter the building, but Inhwan stopped in front of them and said,

“We have to go to the other entrance.”

When I looked at the place In-hwan was pointing, I saw something like a huge iron gate behind me.

“Follow.”

It was Inhwan, nothing different from usual, but for some reason, it felt like a lot had changed.

It looks as if it is suddenly overflowing with leeway.

“…like someone else.”

Sang-yeon also looked at In-hwan with unfamiliar eyes, and In-hwan let out a small sigh as if he was familiar with that gaze.

“You can’t do that either. At least we’re a team, right? More than just a normal team.”

“…right.”

Then, a huge iron door opened, and an elevator that was too big for one person to use, or even a whole car, appeared.

“1st, 18th floor…”

The elevator went up at a high speed, and the door opened with a ding and a quiet sound that did not fit the huge door.

“Wow…”

“…that’s amazing.”

The scenery of the house we arrived at was spectacular itself.

One wall was made entirely of glass, and the inside was neatly spread into two floors.

A huge sofa and TV were placed in the center, and the floor was made of neat marble as well as an antique carpet.

“What would you like to drink?”

“uh…”

Sang-yeon, who is not too embarrassed, answered with a dry eye while looking around.

“There will be everything to eat. Let’s take out what we want to eat, and then have a party in the evening.”

“Pah, a party?”

“What are you expecting? It’s just grilling some meat and eating it.”

Sang-yeon looked a little sad at In-hwan’s answer and sat down on the sofa.

“Wow, look at that fluffy one.”

“There are a lot of game consoles there, so take out the ones that look good. Let’s do it together.”

At Inhwan’s words, Sangyeon headed to the bookshelf next to the TV.

“Hey, this!”

“why?”

Seonghyeon was startled by the urgent voice of Sangyeon, too, and got up from her seat and approached.

“Three, the second generation of Animas, made only for 10 units in the world…!”

Holding a game console that looked quite old, his hands were trembling as if he had found a treasure.

“…What?”

“Well? Uh, when did you come… huh, well, just know a little bit.”

“I don’t think it’s a little bit if you know right away that it’s this old…”

“Hey, this is common sense.”

Sang-yeon passed Sung-hyun with a game console and sat down on the sofa.

“Father, come quickly! Let’s get started.”

Seong-hyeon had a lot of things he wanted to ask, but he felt like he was about to run away from the house by asking more questions, so Seong-hyun quietly sat down next to Sang-yeon.
