Chapter 127

Feng Shui geography analyzed the land centering on mountains located in all directions, front, back, left, and right. This mountain was called the Four Gods Shrines, and it was compared to the left Cheongryong, Woo Baekho, Namjujak, and Bukhyeonmu.

While Bukaksan was viewed as the main mountain, Inwangsan was equivalent to Ubaekho. This rocky mountain, which had once been used as a training camp for Baekho, was now being managed by Hwangho himself.

“Hwangho, how long do we have to be here!”

“Is that rogue link real?”

“I want to go home…”

“I want to hear the new song released by Kwon Jae-in…”

Inside the barrier of Inwangsan was a training room made out of white stone walls, the type that hurt the eyes. When Hwangho, who appeared in his thirties, appeared, four of Cheong-ho’s disciples began to cry.

Recently, Hwangho had thrown them an unheard-of problem called the ‘unrealistic link,’ thereby imprisoning them in this training room.

“I was trying to forcibly weave a bi-negative group, but the reverse flow of the bi-negative group almost caused a disaster!”

“Even though we are a bit similar, if we make a slight mistake in control, our minds will suffer a lot of damage!”

“Give me a break!”

“Miss Kwon Jae-in… You don’t want to do another concert…”

The mind of the mythical noble family, a disciple of Cheong-ho, apparently turned out to be thinking this. Hwangho, who was in his thirties, looked at them silently and took something out of the paper bag.

Hwangho had prepared a bait suitable for their mental level. “If you succeed, I will give you this.”

They had seen something in Hwangho’s hand, something unique. They jumped up from where they had been sitting on the floor.

“Guo, it’s Kwon Jae-in’s new CD!”

“It’s only been released as a digital single, so how?! Wait, that’s signed?!”

“…That’s the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Concert Blu-ray Limited Edition!”

“Aww! It’s signed too! It’s not a printed sign, it’s really handmade!”

It had been the day Hwangho visited the Eternal Lake team building before Kwon Jae-in returned to the students of Year 1 Class 0. While all the other children declined, Hwangho asked for a CD and Blu-ray limited edition signed by Kwon Je-in without hesitation.

Thanks to that, the classmates looked at Hwang Jiho with a tired expression. In a way, Kwon Jae-in’s goods had been obtained as loot. The effect was awesome.

“I can feel my strength rising. Kwon Jae-in! I’m going home tonight and listening to your music…”

“They’re twins, you guys link first! I said pass if it’s just the two of us! First, because you are the center, the second duality must be…”

“I can’t concentrate. Shut up!”

Among Cheong-ho’s pupils, the twin nobles simultaneously radiated a similar amount of psychic waves. This was a blue psychic that flowed like water.

Like twins, the temperament of the two psychics seemed very similar. However…

The two psychics began to emit small sparks. It was a sign of a dual-wave countercurrent.

“Ugh…”

“Joe, just a little bit more…!”

The twins had been blinded by the goods. Soon, the sparks grew bigger and bigger, and this was when a psychic wave started to regurgitate and attack people’s minds. Paah!

“Stop!” Hwangho jumped into the blue spark, both his eyes and hair turning gold in an instant. Before the backflowing psychic wave reached the two nobles, it was bound by golden magic and spread out.

At this, the eldest of the twins, who was playing the role of the synoptic link, fell on the floor of the training room.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“…When I die, bury me with the BD collection. Every time an album of Ms. Kwon Jae-in and Mr. Grieg comes out, make sure to bury it anew.”

“I think this guy is fine.”

“…I was worried and lost.” Hwangho, who confirmed that they were safe, threw an envelope full of bread he had bought from MITRON. When he got absorbed in something, he forgot to eat and instead immersed himself in it fully, just like his teacher, Cheong-ho.

‘…I didn’t care about the taste, so I could feed it anything, so it was comfortable.’

After seeing the bag of bread, they seemed to feel hungry, so they thanked Hwangho roughly and began to inhale the bread.

‘But what’s the problem?’

This was a Year 2 Class 0 student’s domination of another world, the link of Lee Neung-pa who succeeded mainly with Geum Chan-sol. Based on the data and testimonies they provided, Hwangho began to study the cult link by himself.

‘The conditions are perfect. Rather, it’s a better environment than when Geum Chan-sol Wang Chan-sol’s first rookie link succeeded.’

Hwangho’s investigation continued.

‘Among the barbarians, the quality of the most cultists is the same, they have similar personalities, and there are only four people who have been together for thousands of years.’

On that side, as many as twenty people succeeded in linking the dualists at the same time.

Their omnipotence was different. Fortunately, Geum Chan-sol and Wang Chan-sol had similar temperaments, but this could not be said for the others.

‘It was said that what united them was respect for Zhuge Jagger. These four disciples of Cheong-ho are big fans of Kwon Jae-in, and they have strong fan feelings. Besides, I just threw a bait to motivate, but the link failed. Why?’

Hwangho was comparing them in his head. He then realized the biggest and most fundamental difference between them.

‘I wonder if it’s impossible for a non-human link to be a supernaturalist…!’

When Hwangho’s thoughts reached this point.

Ding dong.

A message arrived on his device. Looking at the color displayed on the notification on the hologram, he saw that it was a device call dedicated to 12 cards.

[Damn Moon Rabbit] I’m ending the contract to ban entry to Eungwang High soon, you know? Haven’t you forgotten?

[Damn Moon Rabbit] There are still a few days left, can you cut it off? I’ll give you some cake… No, I don’t want to give it to you, and I’m going to give Eunho’s descendants a rice cake, so can’t you release it earlier? Yes?

[Damn Moon Rabbit] Why don’t you read the message?ㅡㅡ

[Damn Moon Rabbit] Yay ya…

The messages only continued from there.

‘…My head hurts because the technical partnership with Wolgung has not gone as smoothly as I thought. This damn moon rabbit can’t even understand the atmosphere.’

Applying Wolgung’s technology to the player’s satellite was currently experiencing difficulties.

Ding dong.

Then, another message arrived.

[Annoying mouse] Hwangho, are you busy?

This was an idiot who greeted everyone with respect. Hwangho frowned at the feeling of discomfort that rose within him for no reason.

* * *

After school, on the road to the insolvency of the newspaper department.

Hwang Jiho had been explaining the experiment and his considerations of the bisexual link that was currently being conducted in one of the strongholds of the Baron.

‘Only humans may be able to link to the duality…’

Perhaps the rookie link could be a weapon unique to humans. When listening to Hwang Jiho’s explanation while pondering how to use the new clue.

Suddenly, he stopped talking and made a displeased face.

“The idiot came in contact with me. I think you’ve noticed that I’ve been to the Eternal Lake Building.”

I had already guessed it when I saw the description, but it seemed that Hwang Jiho had currently been broadcasting live using an alter ego.

“Should I make contact with the idiot… I’ll have to ignore the damn moon rabbit’s message.”

When I began to take in the message, he came to me and annoyed me.

Afterward, Hwang Jiho’s words were barely heard, and when he went into the poor room for freshmen in the newspaper department.

“Yeah, suspicious Vice-Chancellor Jo! I was waiting for you!”

Moon Sae-ron had been waiting. Perhaps it was because Hwang Jiho and I had arrived a little early that there were only the three of us in the Class 1 classroom.

“Mr. Hwang, who is there, is also involved, so can I tell you? They’re both in Year 1 Class 0.”

Moon Sae-ron rolled her eyes. Perhaps she was trying to tell us about the investigation of Mok Woo-ram, the only disciple of the virtuoso violin craftsman whom she had previously asked for.

“That’s okay. Tell me.”

“Actually, I don’t know much. There were a few things that appeared to be information about the wandering soul, Mok Woo-ram.”

When I nodded that I was okay, Moon Sae-ron showed up some holograms.

“This is the interview review posted on the admissions website during Eungwang High entrance exam!”

[Unravel the details of the strong candidate in Eungwang High’s Class 0 interview.txt]

Hwang Jiho’s eyes were twinkling next to him. This guy would be able to know all the interview details if he wanted to, but it seemed that he hadn’t checked that yet.

“Up until the middle, it’s just been an ordinary interview review! What you need to pay attention to is the remarks of this ‘class 0 strong candidate’.”

A two-person interview.

It was when the author answered all the questions and answers given and it was the turn of the Class 0 candidates. The question as to whether the Year 1 Class 0 candidates were pretty good proved to be very easy and simple.

[After passing Eungwang High, what is the first thing you want to do?]

If one were to interpret this question, it would be, ‘Your grades are so good that there is no point in dropping you, even in an interview. No, I don’t want to drop it! Roughly state your aspirations and wait for the announcement of acceptance.’

This was when the author, who had to discuss for more than 10 minutes about the thesis on ‘Social Relations and Ethics Between Players and Non-Players’ published by Namgung Research Institute a few months ago, felt envious and bitter. It was said that the class 0 candidate answered this in a very polite and sincere tone.

[I will go on a trip in order to find my own muse. I’m going to take the exam, but I can’t go to school until I find someone who inspires me. The musical instrument that contains the skill and soul that my master left me with, the one who will play it has not yet appeared.]

In addition to this, the author said it was intuitive.

“This article was written anonymously. But other than that, considering the personal information left by the author, the placement of the interview group, etc., I think this child is Mok Woo-ram in your class! Hahaha! How are you?”

If one of the best informants in Flamago said it, I was pretty sure it was. Mok Woo-ram seemed to be wandering in search of his muse right now.

However, did he get stuck even after saying something like that? He didn’t spend a lot of time in class 0, but he seemed to have done really well for himself.

“Other than that, I don’t think there is much information available within the school. He really never went to school, did he? She also graduated from the GED in middle school, so it seems like there are no children from the same school.”

Moon Sae-ron finished the explanation like that. Just knowing what kind of character he was and why he didn’t appear in the game turned out to be a huge income.

“Thanks. I don’t know if it’ll pay off, but I’ll give it to you nevertheless.”

Yesterday, I handed over the information I got from the Year 3 Class 0 class leader Sang-geo-ji, Woo Ki-hwan’s ghost story tour of Mt. Cheonik.

Moon Sae-ron, who thought it was a joke, felt thrilled to read it.

“Huh? Oops, this is a joke! … … Huh, is this a map of Mt. Cheonik? It’s perfectly organized! Thanks, this is… Overwhelmingly awesome! Let’s exchange information frequently in the future!”

Moon Sae-ron wanted to go to Cheoniksan right away and check the information I had sent him.

Cheoniksan, a place of chaos where ghost stories were rife, where Year 3 Class 0 students camped to fight the energy of the universe, and even where the barbarians had been watching. Moon Sae-ron, the best informant, was added to that.

* * *

Moon Sae-ron began to run to Mt. Cheonik right after finishing her tasks for the day.

Ding dong.

It was from Kim Yuri, who held the Year 1 Class 0 study meeting room starting today.

[Kim Yu-ri] Then that means Eushin can’t come today…

[Kim Yuri] Come eat dinner, even if it’s already late! The other kids are waiting too! >▽<

My class leader and my playable character called me, so of course I had to go. I replied that I would definitely go, even if it was late, and promptly headed for the meeting place.

The meeting place was the old school teacher in the closed area. The person I promised ended up being Yeom Jun-yeol, who had been summoned by Hong-ryong’s scorching message.

“Master, I have a request.”

Yeom Jun-yeol had a determined expression on his face. He looked like he was going to make an important request. He didn’t know what it was, but I felt like I had to be prepared all the same.

“Say it.”

At this, Yeom Jun-yeol hesitated a few times before asking.

“I want to have a way to contact Master… Can’t you?”

No, it was definitely hard to say no.
