Episode 132

The only association branch in Academy City.

Maylen was busy with countless paperwork pouring in.

“...How many days have you been doing paperwork?”

Even though I devoted half a day to paperwork, there were still stacks of papers on my desk. Meilin sighed and spoke into her pocket.

“Check the list of passes.”

I decided that a hologram would be better than the paper documents I had been staring at all day. There were also objects to be checked.

“Subject. Yoosung Shin.”

[Shin Yuseong-Pass List Check]

[Clear Tower 2F]

[Hidden Stage Discovery (Time Room)]

[Hidden Stage Challenge (Time Room)]

[Hidden Stage Clear (Time Room)]

[Reward: Attribute Enhancement]

Meirin’s eyes were dazed as she stared at the hologram.

“...uh?”

Mei Lin’s eyes became clear in an instant after she spat out a death sentence.

“Hidden stage?”

Meirin swallowed in a gulp at Shin Yooseong’s record, which was beyond common sense. As the head of Academy City, it is very rare for her to be so flustered. However, Shin Yoo-seong’s record was just as shocking.

“Really... you discovered and cleared the hidden stage? Is that the first day?”

Judging by the record, Shin Yoo-seong cleared the second floor and satisfied the appearance condition of the hidden stage. That alone is surprising.

“...is this possible?”

The problem was that it didn’t end there, and he challenged the hidden stage without fear and even cleared it.

gulp.

What on earth is this student?

‘...As expected, the pinnacle of Korea. No, it’s never too far to become more than that.’

Meilin glanced over the papers she was tired of, then got up from her seat.

The hidden stage of Yuseong Shin, who is only in the first year, and the reward of strengthening his characteristics.

‘I have to report it to the president of the association.’

The importance of overdue documents has been pushed back by Shin Yoo-seong’s performance.

Gaon’s second-floor hallway is neatly designed in brown and white.

Bubbly.

Shin Yooseong slowly looked around and walked down the hallway. If you walk down the aisle like this, you will learn many things even if you don’t want to know.

“...Eh, isn’t it dangerous to go with an active duty soldier? How do you catch the level 3 boss?”

“If we just watch, my uncle catches me? Then write a line in the document. Defeat the 3rd level boss in the 1st year!”

“It would be nice to join a guild.”

Two students talking on the first floor without even dreaming that there were people on the second floor.

Bubbly.

“What’s wrong with the mood of class S these days? It looks like we had a fight or something.”

The current situation is the result of falling for that trick. Kim Eun-ah still looked down at the box of chocolates with a serious expression.

“...I went too far. Chocolate is strange no matter how you think about it.”

Of course, it wasn’t Valentine’s Day, but chocolate is a gift to the opposite sex you like.

‘I’m sorry I missed you. I wanted to give you a present...’

I didn’t think it was strange when I was preparing. Chocolate is a gift of friendship made with a caricature of Yoosung Shin’s face.

When I tried to gift it, Kim Eun-a felt her heart tickle.

‘...and what do you say? It’s weird if you just give it away. It could be misunderstood...’

While Kim Eun-ah was in deep trouble with a serious face, the door suddenly opened.

“Aya. Were you there?”

Shin Yoo-seong’s greeting as usual.

However, Kim Eun-ah was startled and hid the box behind her back.

“What? me too! I just came!”

After Kim Eun-ah hid the box, her behavior felt even more strange.

‘No, why am I scared and mad about giving you chocolate?’

Kim Eun-ah licks her lips at the belated embarrassment.

“I heard you went to the... tower?”

When Kim Eun-ah asked with a glance, Shin Yoo-seong took out banana milk from the refrigerator and answered calmly.

“huh. It was easy. It’s on the second floor at most.”

fluff.

Casually, Shin Yuseong sat on the sofa and told Kim Eun-ah about the information he had experienced at the tower.

“My plan is to clear up to the 5th floor where the warp didn’t work beforehand and attack with the party members from the 5th floor. Of course, I have to finish preparing for the next national competition, but...”

“Really? what is ok They say even 3rd and 4th grade hunters can break the 5th and 10th floors...”

Kim Eun-ah still noticed.

The moment when you are nervous that it won’t be strange to take out the gift you prepared.

Took.

Kim Eun-ah put the box of chocolates on Shin Yoo-seong’s lap using the regular method.

“Aya. This....”

Embarrassed by Shin Yoo-sung’s question, Eun-ah Kim turned her head away and avoided her gaze.

“...That’s just chocolate. I felt sorry during the competition... I also cleared the tower...”

Kim Eun-ah gave all sorts of reasons and then added words later in a cautious voice.

“...and you like sweets.”

A gift that considers Shin Yoo-seong’s taste for sweet food more than anyone else. Yoosung Shin accepted it with a smile and called Eunah Kim.

“Eunah.”

“...what.”

The tickling atmosphere made it embarrassing to even answer or speak out. This was the atmosphere that Kim Eun-ah hated the most, saying that she felt greasy even while watching dramas, and expressed her disgust.

However, when she finds herself in such a situation, Kim Eun-ah silently wiggles her fingers.

Shin Yoo-seong expressed his gratitude to Kim Eun-ah for such a heart.

“thank you.”

Considering Kim Eun-ah’s personality, preparing a gift herself is unimaginable. Thanks to that, Kim Eun-ah’s tense face was relaxed.

“It’s nothing special...”

Kim Eun-ah, secretly proud thanks to her, even handed it over. Shin Yooseong just laughed without saying anything.
