Kaina Lightley.
She called Maze Collegeâs noble, and she was a famous woman outside as well as at Round Academy.
From the walk to each simple gesture, elegant and faintly wet eyes make viewers feel love.
Some even said that Kainaâs voice, which is not often heard, was shaking their soul, which led to rumors that famous Hunter and Crown Prince showed interest in her.
Maybe because of such excessive interest, Kaina stayed only in her room except for the classes she needed, but there was a moment when she showed herself only once a day.
Click.
The early morning when the sun is about to rise.
The window of Kainaâs room opened, and in the chair in front of her, she looked out quietly with a blanket on her shoulder.
Kaina looks out for about 10 minutes every morning when the sun rises.
With its beautiful and pathetic appearance, both men and women of all ages watched with a bewitched look.
Squeak.
As time passed, Kaina disappeared closing the window, and those who were hiding looked sad.
âAhâ¦â¦ only if I could have seen a little moreâ¦â¦.â
âI wish to talk to her onceâ¦â¦.â
âI want to hold her hand.â
Beauty and atmosphere can be expressed only by the word âmagic.â Thatâs the noble lady named Kaina Lightley.
âWhatâs going on here?!â
Clink!
It was her mask that threw a teacup into a personâs face.
âHowâ¦â¦ How could you not even show yourself for three days! How the hell did you handle this?!â
Kaina threw things out as soon as she got hold of something, and Andrew, who was sitting on his knees on the floor, was beaten with his head down.
âSorry, Iâm sorry. Please forgive meâ¦â¦.â
âForgive? Forgive when you havenât even settled your affairs yet!â
âItâs notâ¦â¦.â
âYou uselessâ¦â¦ Whoo. Whoo.â¦.â
Kaina, who was about to run right away, stopped walking, and soon stared at Andrew with a light breath.
âYou know how much weâve invested in working on this project?â
âOf, of course. Of course, I know.
To find the right person for Mana Sword Perceval and to dazzle him, they even hid in Round Academy, one of the main enemy bases.
It is in the form of simultaneous progress with other projects, but the fact that failure is a loss has not changed.
âBut why did it went like this? Stop making excuses and explain it to me. Explain why Trua doesnât come to see me and visits the outsider every day!â
ââ¦â¦.â
Andrew sweated a cold sweat because of Kainaâs anger.
An answer like âHe lost in a battle and suddenly became like thatâ doesnât work. Andrew, who squeezed his head out, looked at Kaina and carefully continued the story.
âIsnât heâ¦â¦ isnât it like that his desire to win stimulated?â
âThe desire to win?â
âYes, sir Trua is a knight, so heâs motivated to winâ¦â¦.â
âSo youâre saying Iâm no better than a fight with an outsider?â
Andrewâs face hardened by Kainaâs cold voice. He realized that his hard-picked answer was wrong.
âYou donât answer?â
Kaina staring with a cold expression. Andrew muttered softly when he saw the figure.
âSon of a bitch.â
* * *
âHmmâ¦?â
Kang Yoo-sik, who touched his ears with a strange tickling sensation, looked back.
Recently, this feeling has been felt frequently, making him wonder if even a phantom monster has stuck.
âWellâ¦â¦ itâs not the time for it to come out. Even if there is, it wonât end this much.â
Kang Yoo-sik looked forward again, thinking that someone would be cursing at him.
âpantâ¦pantâ¦.â
Trua was sprawling and breathing heavily.
âWhat the hellâ¦â
Looking up at the ceiling, Trua simply couldnât understand the current situation.
The day of defeat by Kang Yoo-sik. Trua was indescribable, no, just resentful, and couldnât sleep properly.
If I did this, I would have won, but if I did that, I wouldnât have been wasted. He couldnât sleep at all because he thought about the battle situation endlessly.
âOne more time⦠If we fight one more timeâ¦â¦.â
A feeling of self-blaming. And the spirit of struggle for Kang Yoo-sik. The next morning, after being swayed by those two emotions.
Normally, Trua should have stepped up to see Lady Kaina he adores, but he didnât.
âLadyâ¦â¦ Please wait a little longer.â
To keep his promise to keep her, and for her honor, he must leave her side for a while now.
Thinking that way, Trua went to a luxury hotel in the suburbs, which he had heard through Heinz, the dean of magic.
âHmm. You wanna fight again?â
Kang Yoo-sik greeted him with a smile when he visited me.
At the question, Trua nodded straight away, and Kang Yoo-sik looked at the messy room seen through the gap in the open door.
âIâm busy preparing for the upcoming finalsâ¦â¦ Iâve been preparing all night for months, and itâs a big deal if I make a mistakeâ¦â¦.â
His expression and voice make the listeners feel guilty. Trua felt sorry for it and tried to go back, but Kang Yoo-sik replied as if he couldnât help it.
âIâll give you just one round. And like I said, Itâs not free.â
He didnât know what to ask for, but Trua nodded without hesitation. More than anything else, it was important to win the match against Kang Yoo-sik now.
Defending yourself and Ladyâs honor and going back proudly. Today is the third day that he has been heading to the battle hall with such a heart.
âYou lose every time.â
Unlike him, Kang Yoo-sik is relatively fresh.
Trua asked hard in a situation where it was overwhelming.
âHow come am I losingâ¦â¦?â
It could have seemed ugly not to accept the results, but Trua had no choice but to ask so.
He was obviously above himself, and he did his best without giving up on players.
However, every time he fights, there are attacks that catch him off guard one after another, and he ends up collapsing like he did at first.
Kang Yoo-sik answered simply when Trua made an incomprehensible look at the ending no matter how hard he thought.
âOf course, because of not enough experience.â
âNot enough experienceâ¦?â
âHave you ever fought a wizard?â
ââ¦â¦.â
When asked by Kang Yoo-sik, Trua looked caught off guard.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although Knight College and Maze College were hostile to each other, they held regular exchange meetings under the pretext of improving their skills.
However, Trua did not participate in the exchange meeting very well, and despite the differences in skills, he was disgusted by the atmosphere that seemed to hate and look down on each other even though they were alumni.
âYouâve fought, but it was either a low-level wizard, or it was equally inexperienced. Donât try to make too good an excuse when asked why you lost.â
Kang Yoo-sik, who came close to him, crouched down and tapped Truaâs chest armor with his fist.
âJust lack of practice and ability. These two things. Do you understand?â
ââ¦â¦yes.â
Trua nodded his head with a slightly subdued look, and Ban Hye-young shouted at the entrance of the battle hall.
âYoo-sik, letâs stop there and go back. Arenât you going to prepare for the finals?â
âOh, yes.â
Standing up from his seat, Kang Yoo-sik suddenly smiled bitterly at Trua.
But you`re more competitive than I thought. You keep coming to me when I say Iâm busy.â¦.â
âSorry, Iâm sorryâ¦â¦.â
âWell, Iâm accepting it because I think itâs okay, butâ¦â¦but donât forget that, okay?â
Kang Yoo-sik looked down at Trua and smirked.
âYou owe me one.â
[The debtor âDonatien de Truaââs debt increases.]
[The debtor âDonatien de Truaâ rises to class D. The collection list is added.]
Kang Yoo-sik, who looked at the notification window in front of him satisfactorily, left Trua behind with a look on his face and came out of the battle hall.
Then Ban Hye-young, who was waiting at the entrance, glanced inward and asked. âDid you win?â
âYes, it was a bit close, but I won.â
Trua thinks Kang Yoo-sik has been relaxed all the time, but in reality, he hasnât.
Considering the improvement of Truaâs skills as soon as he returns to his accommodation every day, Yoo-sik squeezed out a new strategy like crazy, and after having all kinds of ways, he fights and barely wins.
If it werenât for lack of experience, as he said before, he would have been defeated earlier.
âItâs not like heâs been recognized as an A-class hunter for nothing.â
Thanks to him, his experience is building up rapidly, so if he has a little more time, he will no longer be a match.
So when Kang Yoo-sik decides to hurry up and finish the finals and run away to Korea. Ban Hye-young asked with a curious look.
âBut Iâve been wondering for a while, why are you pretending to be busy? Youâre not even preparing for the finals.â
âBecause heâll be more sorry if I pretend to be busy.â
This depends on the person, but in the case of Trua, the effect is no joke.
The debt rating has risen to grade D even though he only had a few trials right now. If he elaborates it here a few more times, he will be able to finish it neatly.
At Kang Yoo-sikâs answer, Ban Hye-young smiled and pulled his cheeks as if he was cute.
âOh my gosh, you innocent boy. If you take care of him more because youâre sorry, why is there a pledge?â
Although this is different, Kang Yoo-sik held Ban Hye-youngâs hand and separated it because he couldnât tell it.
âDonât treat me like a baby. Everyone has their own thoughts.â
âYes, yes. Oh, letâs go hurry. I really have a place to go today.â
Kang Yoo-sik looked at Ban Hye-youngâs hand-in-hand lead with a curious look.
âWhere are you going?â
âRound Academy Treasure warehouse.â
ââ¦â¦what?â
When Kang Yoo-sik, who thought she was joking, looked at her with a puzzled look, Ban Hye-young added calmly.
âHeinz must have liked you. The Round Academy treasure warehouse says theyâre giving you something.â
âReally?â
âReally. Why would I lie like that?â
Kang Yoo-sik looked surprised at Ban Hye-youngâs words.
The treasure warehouse of Round Academy was one of the places that collectors wanted to visit.
This is because the treasure warehouse was the place where the estimated value did not come down from the top 10 in the world even after a considerable number of items were lost after the Round Academy was half destroyed.
However, Kang Yoo-sik was suspicious rather than happy about the huge proposal.
âTheyâre going to give me treasure for beating down Trua?â
Of course, if they hate Knight College terribly, they may, but there is a limit to it.
âThat old manâ¦â¦ youâre aiming for something.â
I donât know what youâre after, but I donât have to say no if he doesnât force it with a pledge. Because itâs okay if I ignore it when I have to.
Thinking so, Kang Yoo-sik was led by Ban Hye-young and moved to the fourth floor of the main building. He went into the office of the dean of the magic school located on the east side of the main building.
Squeek-.
Inside, decorated with antique furniture, there were bookshelves and mysterious magic tools all over the place, which looked like a medieval wizardâs room.
âOh, youâre here now.â
While sitting down and looking at the documents, Heinz stood up with his glasses off, and I saw his gray hair sticking out from the back of the reception sofa.
When Kang Yoo-sik, who realized that Wilhelmina was hiding, gave a wink, Heinz smiled bitterly.
âShe wants to see you, but sheâs still shy. I have work to do today, so Iâll ask you next time.â
âOh, yes.â
âThen letâs go.â
Heinz, who approached the door, lightly knocked on the door handle with the Branch of the World Tree, a class S weapon, held in his hand.
Woooong-
Then the green magic square floated all over the door, and after a while, the entire space of the area felt twisted.
âIndeed, this place is to keep the treasures.ââ
the key âBranch of the Worldâs Tree.â A place cannot be entered without Heinzâs special mana arrangement.
As such, only some of the items have been lost in the large-scale incident where the Round Academy was destroyed.
âThen Iâll be back.â
Heinz, who talked to Wilhelmina who was hiding, opened the door, and the Round Academyâs treasure warehouse appeared.
The interior had an antique atmosphere with a medieval feel, but the decorations were lined up, which reminded me of libraries rather than warehouses.
The decorations were huge enough to lift their heads to see the end, and inside, space was divided into transparent partitions.
âIt looks sloppy, but itâs all magic.â
There are some items that have a negative effect if they have a bad impact on each other, so this processing will be essential.
Kuwoong.
The door connected to the deanâs office closed, and Heinz turned and looked forward.
â I was personally moved by the achievement you did this time. So itâs not big but Iâd like to present one of the items in this warehouse.â
Kang Yoo-sik was wondering what the achievement was, but it wasnât important now, so he went straight to the main topic.
âAre you going to choose for me?â
âThatâs okay, too. But I donât care if you choose it yourself. Iâll give you a rough idea of what it is.â
I can choose whatever I want. Kang Yoo-sik looked inside.
âYou must have left out everything important.â
Perhaps the ones in here were collected only from the middle to the bottom, even inside the existing treasure warehouse.
Of course, all of them are above B-level equipment, but I have to choose well here to find something so valuable that even they didnât know.
âItâs been a while since Iâve seen this.â
Not often, but sometimes I searched the store for things. When Kang Yoo-sik smiled, Ban Hye-young, who was standing next to him, whispered quietly.
âIâm sure these are all mediocre things anyway, so just take what the old man recommends you.â
Normally, Ban Hye-young would be right, but Kang Yoo-sik shook his head.
âNo, Iâll look for it.â
âI donât think thereâs anyâ¦â¦.â
Kang Yoo-sik walked into the warehouse, leaving Ban Hye-young, muttering with a suspicious look.
Looking at the items in the cabinet, I active memory maps and think of books that describe various items that I have read.
If only expensive things were gathered, it would have been difficult to distinguish them because there was no information, but because they were all intermediate things, it was easy to distinguish them because there were many items that were released in a way that they could be dropped from other places.
Kang Yoo-sik walked all the way to the inside of the warehouse.
ââ¦â¦I found it.â
He stopped in front of the ring that glistening with blue light
