Chapter 7: Chapter 7- The Campus Stars

The group consisted of exactly 4 people, two girls and two guys. They all had striking appearances and very strong presences. However, Talon's eyes were focused on a particular girl amongst them whom he knew very well.

'Ran Hyun-Jae.' He thought to himself silently.

The girl was Ran Hyun-Jae, the daughter of the Ran family, which was one of the richest families in South Korea and even the world. They were a huge conglomerate worth billions of dollars that had countless companies under their name. From beauty to media production companies and everything in between, they had their feet dipped in every pond.

As for their daughter, she was the president of the Student Council at Seoul National University. She was a very brilliant, smart, and extremely beautiful girl that everyone admired. Even from this angle, Talon could notice her mesmerizing appearance with ease. Perhaps that was why he even heard of her in the first place as he was never someone who took an interest in popular people who attended the same university as he does.

Yet, he still heard about Hyun-Jae many times from his friends and classmates. Things like her achievements, how beautiful she was, how she turned down every man who stepped forward to date her or even marry her. Many of these things were merely rumors but they worked in turning Hyun-Jae into this divine figure amongst the students.

"Oh, It's the president!" As he was like that, Talon heard Shin-Il exclaim behind him.

"Shush!" Immediately, he slammed his hand against the boy's mouth quickly. "Don't yell like that."

Although Talon intended to go out to talk with them, he was still uncertain if they were really trustworthy enough to talk with.

"Mmm... Mmmm..." Shin-Il panickedly hummed to catch Talon's attention.

"What?"

"Mmm... Mmmm... Mmmm..."

"You know them?" He asked in confusion as if he understood what the boy meant.

"Mmmm... Mmm..." Shin-Il nodded his head.

"Ok, fine, go ahead," Talon said as he released Shin-Il and left him to come out.

The boy quickly stood up and walked out of their hiding spot.

"President!" He yelled as he walked toward them. Meanwhile, Talon looked at Acrypha. "Are they already leveling up?" He asked.

"Yes. However, three of them are still Level 1. One is Level 3."

"Level 3? Is it Ran Hyun-Jae?"

"I don't know who that is. It's the beautiful girl." Acrypha replied.

'Already Level 3? She's fast.'

The only reason Talon reached Level 4 was because he fought something that out-leveled him greatly. He didn't know if Ran Hyun-Jae did the same or simply killed a huge number of weak Dimension Walkers. Either way, that meant that she was very strong.

"Shin-Il, is that you?!" Hearing a loud voice, Talon took a peek again. There, one of the guys, who was rather tall with a strong body and a rough yet very handsome face approached him with a wide grin. His short brown hair and striking brown eyes made him appear friendly even with his huge frame.

"I'm glad you're ok, kid!" He said as he tapped him on the shoulder.

"I'm glad to see you too, Wan Yong!"

The man was Wan Yong, the president of the basketball club, and was also the ace of the team. He was very popular amongst girls in the university. He was known for being a very nice person even though he looked very intimidating at first.

Her gaze eventually landed on the spear in his hand. "Where did you get that weapon from?"

"I crushed one of the cores those things drop and it gave me this spear."

"Wait, those cores do that?" Soomin asked with a loud voice as she adjusted her glasses.

"Yes."

"How did you know?" She asked again.

"I discovered that by pure coincidence when I killed one," Talon replied.

'Can't tell them that a flying invisible girl told me that or they will think I'm insane.' He thought to himself.

"Interesting." Pulling her book note out, Soomin started writing on it.

"Do you have any idea what's going on and what's that gate above us?" Chin-Hwa, the cold prince finally spoke.

He had been watching the conversation from behind silently as if he was testing Talon before he finally decided to participate in it.

"No, I'm just as confused as you are."

"..." Chin-Hwa didn't add anything else and simply stared at Talon. However, his gaze was different from everyone else.

'He really doesn't trust me, does he?' Talon smiled wryly as he changed his gaze to Hyun-Jae.

"I'm heading toward the warehouse for now since it seems like the best hiding spot. Do you want to join me?"

"We were heading there ourselves. We have been followed by these things for a while and we're exhausted." Hyun-Jae replied.

"I can share all the information I gathered about Dimension Walkers if you all do the same thing."

Although Talon didn't really need to do this proposal considering the fact he had the most knowledgeable person he needed flying next to him. However, he wanted to establish some kind of trust between him and these four.

If they were going to work together, they had to at least understand that they weren't going to harm each other. Showing sincerity is a good start.

"Good, we didn't gather much but I think with your information and ours, we can form some kind of idea about what we found ourselves in." The beautiful student council president nodded her head.

"Well, now that we got to know each other! Let's go!" Shin-Il said excitedly.

Then, without any time to waste, the group started moving as fast as they could.

"Are you ok, brother?" Wan Yong asked when he noticed Talon's tattered body.

"I'm fine. Just need some rest and I should be fine."

"If you say so..."

'Well, not really. But, I think I can help my body a little.' Talon thought to himself as he opened his status window.
