Chapter 114

[Kwanglim is using player’s trajectory]

I need to wait for the player’s trajectory to react no matter what happens.

Suddenly, a system window appears in front of me and started flickering

Hmm. The item window is shining.

I opened the item window and I saw the flashing item name. It is listed as ‘Complementary Heart Gold Wave’

It was a pitchfork that was stolen from the head of the Don Tribe.

I wonder what fate is trying to do.

The moment I took the Complementary Heart and Gold Wave card it materialized in my hand. Blinding light emitted from the nine teeth.

In a blink of an eye, the blinding light disappeared and I am in a different place. I looked around and I am in a white space with nothing else around.

It’s like the place where I was when I heard the voice of Complementary Heart and Gold Wave. But something is different.

“What is that?” I asked myself when I noticed a blurry shadow slowly take shape in front of me.

It is a shadow with a headdress that covers until the tip of the nose. The Yin Yang symbol is engraved on its uniform and it is holding a buljin on its hand.

By the looks of it, I can guess the identity of the shadow

“Are you the moral genius, Tae Sang-no?” I asked. The shadow nodded curtly confirming that I guessed correctly.

A creature made by the Sangbo Heart Gold Wave, using the Baguaro. He appeared in front of me, I guess he has something to say but its presence is blurred.

I used the ‘unknown fate’ that the white shadow gave to interpret his words. The time to use this weapon is limited, I need to hear everything before it disappears.

“There is a medium called Complementary Heart and Gold Wave..”

Hmm. It seems that using the ‘unknown fate’ is a good choice since it started talking after I activated it.

“Tae Sang-no was trying to collect rewards from the gang hunting.”

I looked at Tae Sang-no and asked him directly.

“Have you come to reap the rewards?”

He shakes his head. If he is not trying to collect the rewards, then is the about the Complementary Heart and Gold Wave?

“Is there anything I have to do?” I asked.

Tae Sang-no nodded. He lifted the fire and pointed the Complementary Heart and Gold Wave once then pointed to my ears once.

I think he is trying to imply something.

In a blink, I was back in my dorm room. It seems that the time limit has expired.

Although the activation of the power of fate was over, I cannot stop thinking about what Tae Sang-no was trying to imply.

Does this mean that he wants me to listen to the voice of Complementary Heart and Gold Wave?

I looked at it and waited, but there was no response. What was I thinking? Maybe this one is just an ordinary weapon.

Is it possible to hear the voice by recreating the situation?

When the forked teeth of the Complementary Heart and Gold Wave pierced my stomach I started hearing its voice.

Kwak Kyung-gu’s Gwangrim 100 Seconds of Grace can be stabbed while activating.

Hmm. I was thinking about putting it into action, but self-harm should be my last resort.

A gold powder paper shopping bag full of Nok’s elixir caught my eye.

I could try some other way.

***

Monday morning after training and meal.

I feel depressed when I look at the pouch filled with liquid which I am not sure if it is an elixir or herbal medicine.

“Should I eat this tasteless thing from the first day of the week?”

I opened the zipper-type disposable pouch and emptied it with my mouth. Is this how you would feel if you drink from the swamp of hell?

After a week of drinking the elixir of the Nok given by Ji ho, I realized that this thing will never be good for my body. It is tasteless that I feel like I will be sick.

To change my mood I opened a hologram and went to school to read the newspaper.

It seems that the shipboard party incident was published as an article. Well, this is the second time this year that an extraterrestrial phenomenon happened without an omen.

The emission of powerful natural synoptic waves.

The result of the recording device malfunctioning.

Player’s association recommends that they be banned for years.

These headlines could cause the public to panic everywhere.

I checked the comments, there were many people who criticized the association for not being able to catch the SR level or higher in advance.

If it doesn’t interfere with the association’s work it is better to have something to say.

If the association doesn’t seem to be able to cope with the calling from another world it can make the black screen unattended.

I skimmed through the page and there are also other articles that are getting attention from the public.

Announcing a joint project between Chou Group and TC Group, which occupies the front page of the portal

I thought that this might be buried because of the incident caused by the black screen, but it seems that the incident has attracted more attention.

Is it because there were no casualties except for one player who entered the raid and suffered minor injuries?

Most of the comments were about cheering for the joint project and congratulations on Kimopoleia’s safe return.

I’m glad that the positive news got more attention. It seems that Hong Kyu-bin has the virtues of adjusting the policy wheel. But to be honest, this is a bit surprising.

A famous student player in the silver commercial, ‘Steel Wedge’ Do Won-woo.

Following Jamsik Baseball Stadium, his article, who played an active part as an attacking team at a boat party stood out.

The comments posted there were very surprising.

[Why doesn’t our school have such a student council president???]

[I want to transfer to a silver commercial but I can’t. Won-woo please transfer to my school instead TT.TT]

[Tears out from the cartoon. Seriously, the student council of a prestigious high school in a cartoon with a handsome face, study, ability, background, and personality. I’ve dug out a few times, but only mid-story came out. Lol.]

[The concept of a mother-in-law is something humanized. Born with everything..]

[Invalid because there is nothing like that among my mother’s friends.]

[If you listen to the rumors about the TC group, it is nothing but bullshit. Why is he like this?]

I don’t think he is ugly. When I encountered him as a player I didn’t feel anything ugly.

“If he keeps that image in front of Yoo Sang-hee, he will receive favoritism.” I thought.

Even the title hero, Joo Soo-hyuk, is broken several times in front of Andain. It will be difficult, indeed.

In 1st grade 0 classroom

As soon as I entered the classroom, Hwang Ji-ho came to me immediately. It seems that he was waiting for me to arrive.

He looked at me with a blank face. I think he is checking if I drink the elixir.

“I drank it.”

He gave me a satisfied smile. “Well, you should.”

I know. Even if it hurts, I need to endure it.

“I saw the article. It must be really hard for you guys.”

“This time, we talked with Yuri in advance and prepared it by sharing tasks.”

“I was also worried about what I got from Euishin the whole week.”

Yuri Kim and Rena Kwon said while preparing snacks. They really don’t have to but I guess I got lucky.

The menu they prepared is a mango roll sandwich and melon soup. It was a menu selection from seasonal fruits.

It was really good, I guess it is because of what I ate this morning that made this food more delicious.

“They said there was no video recording due to natural syngeneic emission. I wonder how you fought.”

“I agree. The scene where Hyodon fights is exhilarating and it’s amazing that Euishing uses magic. The scene where he fights directly with the enemy is also helpful.”

“Have you ever fought before?”

“Oh, I haven’t seen Greene. I will show you a video of the Jamsil Baseball Stadium incident.”

Somehow, it became the time to watch the video of the incident where I and Maeng Hyo-don were active.

After the video session, the topic changed to a chess class for beginners at Stalemate.

The next topic is about the prediction of tinnitus Maeng Hyo-don will receive.

Followed by a new cake from MITRON, a handmade bakery in Seomun.

The topic shifted so fast until Ham Geun-hyung came and joined the tea party until the class started.

Lunch hour,

I was replying to the messages that were piled up on the device that was pushed back before the class started. There was one message that stood out among the rest.

I thought that something might be wrong with the review.

Answers to complaints from Tannae Middle School, where Maeng Hyo-dong graduated and guides the results. But there were only absurd replies and machine-written macros.

There must be something. It is absurd to think that there is nothing wrong with it.

Either they give an answer without reviewing it, or they review it but don’t want to deal with it.

There is a way to supplement the data and submit a complaint again, but it is not a very good number.

Rather I might just receive a repeat complaint, or a malicious complaint ticket because I already sent a similar one.

First, I should make a note for the information on the processing agency that responded to the complaint, the person in charge, and the contact info.

I wonder if I should just leave it to someone who can handle this?

At the same time, Jiik Chairman Sung Si-wan saw an article in this incident and sent a message of greetings.

After thanking him for the concern, I asked when his cousin, a member of the National Assembly, should have time for Seong Guk-eon.

He replied with: I’ll ask Kuk Eon-hyung! They said that we’d eat first from the other side, so hopefully, we’ll see you this week.

Almost everyone who exchanged the device code has sent me a message.

Even my homeroom teacher Maeng Hyo-don asked if it was okay to know-how.

The same goes for Kwon Je-in and Jared Lee.

I messaged and asked if I could go with some of my classmates for the interview. Then I received a call.

(When are you visiting? Tomorrow? Today?)

Jared Lee said so excitedly that his Korean sounded weird.

It seems that he wanted me to bring all the members of the string club to which Kwon Rena belongs, as well as the others.

Kwon Rena’s friends must have been really curious.

But on that day will be the Heyeongwan performance, among the team members of Eternal Lake who came as a staff, there were a lot of executives.

The string club replied that it would be difficult but they will contact me after meeting the schedule with the others.

“I’ll have to ask tomorrow.”

It would be nice if all the first grade 0 class would go together. I thought as I looked through the other messages.

Something messy caught my eyes.

Oktoyeon: Eunin-ah, are you okay?

Oktoyeon: I asked the tiger but he doesn’t want to tell me the benefactor’s status!

Oktoyeon: Euninah, Euninah

Oktoyeon: Are you sleeping?

Oktoyeon: Are you asleep?

The message doesn’t look important and I don’t feel like replying. But he took care of me and wrote the Wolgung chart wells, so I decided to send him a reply that I am okay.

I spent my lunch break replying to the messages.

The link to the article posted by Yoo Sang-hoon in the group message room and the ‘?’ were gone because Nam-wook took care of it.

After school, I went to the newspaper department and I heard the head talking.

“Last week was a total mess.”

Last week? Oh. I think it is about the third-grader Class 0 who was involved in an accident in the residential area. It seemed that the newspaper department was trying to cover it. The Jilkhoe, which was in charge of the residential area, were also involved.

“Once again, doing it in the residential area we almost lost ur. Then a famous first-year student hit an unexpected event, and things got weird.”

“Which famous first grader?” The head asked and all heads turned to me.

“Famous for his smoking bread shuttle.”

“The suspicious bread shuttle of the Vice Leader of Class 0 of the first year.”

It was about Bang Yoon-seop, my bread shuttle. He must have done something.

He must have been in pain because he was forced to quit smoking because of Joo Soo-hyuk and Maeng Hyo-don’s relentless pursuit.

“I think smoking addiction is scary.”

“It’s obsessive.”

“He was smoking and was caught by Soo-hyuk every time. It was toxic and poisonous.”

The article is written as follows:

Bang Yun-seop decided to go deep in Cheoniksan and smoke a cigarette secretly, however he smoked near the hideout of Third grade Class 0.

As a result, an emergency alarm was triggered by the smoke detection system.

“The baron was very sensitive because the lay dugged up. They must have applied smoke detection in that large area.”

Moon Sae-ron looked into the distance and said, “As soon as the alarm went off, a lot of people came to extinguish the fire. Bang Yoon-seop must have been scolded badly.”

Or perhaps the people who came were noble families belonging to Hwangmyeong Foundation.

“The third-grade class 0 who suddenly lost a hideout. They said that they did their best to rehabilitate the wandering juniors, but the process was rough.”

“Bang Yoon-seop sends an SOS to Jilikhoe to save him.”

“Chairman Jilik took over and it was total shit.”

The more I listened, the more I understood the situation.

In the end, the coverage of the aura universe, which the third-year class 0 is planning to take revenge in, was ruined. And the newspaper started writing about fire prevention and youth anti-smoking campaigns.

After fixing all the tasks given to me, I stared at the hologram.

“Joe-shin, what are you up to?”

“I’m choosing bread.”

I selected the menus from the restaurants and bakeries scattered all over Seoul, compiled a list, and sent it to Bang Yoon-seop.

Looks like we can have the bread party tomorrow.

****

The scoundrel head of the Western Clan seemed to be in a good mood. He was excited when he saw Eul-Shin Cho, who won the silver advertisement in the school chess competition saying that he loved it.

But he is already making an impression.

“I want to talk to you. I can’t get out of the new station. When you come out, someone is always there.”

He also stops using formal words when he is in a good mood.

“I also want to talk to the boy who is a relative of the blue violinist.”

“Does the blue violinist have a relative?”

“Yes. I found it out when he commissioned me to investigate. I want to meet him in person but I can’t come out of school. They only practice the violin on campus.“

The rascal’s mood darkened, and his subordinates felt nervous.

“And now someone keeps watching the Baron. Thanks to it, I feel bad every time I go to Eunkwang-gu.”

“Who else would do that, but the chief?”

“No. There is a group of psychopaths with voyeurism among the demons, and they must be them.”

That’s not what the chief would say, and the men thought so but decided to shut their mouths.

An idiot who likes to peek, but hates being peeked. His hypocrisy runs deep.

“Let’s think about a way to get rid of it.”

After saying that, he locked himself in his private lab. The men decided not to approach him for a while, and then they quietly left.
