Chapter 143:

An elegant wooden building.

Yooseong Shin walks down the aisle with Sebastian. The students of the Clock Tower Academy we encountered rolled their eyes one by one.

A male student narrowed his eyes while looking at Shin Yoo-seong’s face. When our eyes met, one female student averted her head.

He doesn’t say a word, but there’s a subtle hostility in his gaze. Unlike the grandiose welcome ceremony shown just before, the students at the clock tower were not welcoming Shin Yoo-seong.

“This... is very difficult.”

Sebastian, who was in charge of the guide, eventually laughed awkwardly and spoke to Shin Yoo-seong in a bitter tone.

“...This kind of hospitality with honored guests. I will apologize.”

Shin Yooseong slowly looked around at Sebastian’s words. The students each had different facial expressions, but none of the emotions were friendly.

‘He’s being hated.’

Nothing to do with Shin Yoosung.

Rather, it was Sebastian who was in charge of the guide who paid attention.

“Still... I hope you will understand a little bit. The reason why the students at the academy keep Yuseong’s party in check is because they are afraid of you.”

“...fear?”

It’s a story that Shin Yoo-seong doesn’t know why he’s afraid. When Shin Yuseong asked with a suspicious face. Sebastian nodded.

“yes. Fear. Yoosung is a challenger who came to compete with Lorelai-sama. ... Plus, he’s the supernova who defeated Adela-sama for the first time in an official competition.”

As Sebastian looked at Shin Yoo-seong, a little respect settled in his eyes. Undefeated even by British students, Adela’s skills were legendary.

“No wonder everyone is nervous and afraid. Lorelai... has a special meaning to us Britons.”

However, Sebastian’s relaxed tone changed instantly when Lorelai’s name was mentioned.

Sebastian’s voice is so serious. Sebastian pointed to the huge picture frame hanging on the central stairway.

The first principal of the Clock Tower. grefon.

Britain’s strongest witch Alice.

The third framed protagonist was none other than Lorelai.

There was no picture frame of the current principal, Veloce, in the clock tower. The frame of Aris and Lorelai who passed the ordeal was hanging.

“It’s embarrassing to say. The records of the tower left by us in England. Most of them belong to Aris, who was the first to pass the clock tower ordeal...”

Sebastian smiled kindly as he looked at Shin Yuseong.

“...I dare not express the expectations Britain has upon Lorelei, who has passed the ordeal a second time.”

Shin Yuseong listened to Sebastian’s words and looked around again.

The student of the clock tower, who was coming up from the central stairs, made a subtle expression while watching Shin Yoo-seong.

A vague fear that I can only feel now.

Shin Yuseong looked down the stairs and said to Sebastian.

“I’m afraid I’ll break that expectation. You’re saying you’re afraid.”

Sebastian nodded his head at Shin Yoo-seong’s calm direct ball.

“That’s right. Because Yooseong-ssi’s performance is great enough to be heard in other countries.”

If the expectations of the British were that high, Sebastian, a member of the party, would have even stronger expectations of Lorelai.

“but. Don’t you hate me like they do?”

However, unlike them, Sebastian was so kind. There seemed to be no subtle emotion, let alone fear. What burns in silent eyes is the belief that only victory can be achieved.

Shin Yooseong simply recognized that Sebastian was of the same type as him.

And the same goes for Sebastian.

“That’s...”

Sebastian suppressed the pleasure that spread in his mouth. He smiled at Shin Yoo-seong with a very gentle expression.

“Because Lorelai is by my side. ... I believe in the victory of whoever my opponent is. So there is no need to be afraid, and there is no need to set up an ungentlemanly clumsy thorn.”

Although Sebastian acknowledged Shin Yoo-seong’s strength as an opponent. Even so, he believed in Lorelai’s victory.

A student who passed the “trial” of the clock tower at the age of only 1st year and became an oracle.

Even considering the raid of the 6th grade dungeon, Lorelei was an opponent comparable to Shin Yuseong’s performance.

‘...until this. To be trusted by many people.’

However, Shin Yuseong smiled and slowly clenched his fists. However, Shin Yoo-seong fixed his gaze on the picture of Lorelai in the frame.

It was absolutely not that all guests were treated kindly.

“me? ...just what did you like?”

“Really? I’m so glad you did! I was very worried that the facilities of the clock tower would be inconvenient.”

“Rather than that, a shower room?”

“You have to walk a little further to the shower room the girls use. It was installed on the opposite side of the facility used by male students. There is some distance.”

“okay?”

Insensitive Kim Eun-ah and kind Angela.

Kim Eun-ah nodded without thinking. Amy glanced at Angela.

“Hey there... Now... I think we can go by ourselves?”

Amy, who opens her heart to everyone, is somehow uncomfortable with Angela. Angela smiled kindly at Amy as well.

“no. I can’t send off the VIPs alone. It’s the principal’s request, so please forgive me...”

“You said you were going to bring me something.”

Let’s look at Amy as if Kim Eun-ah is pathetic. Angela shook her head.

“Anyway, I’m a member of the other party. It is understandable that Amy is burdened.”

“Oh no, no, that’s not it...”

Amy hesitates as she tries to say something. Either way, Angela approached Kim Eun-ah and stared at her face.

“Your skin, Eun-ah, is really nice. Very white and spotless...”

“Huh? Is that so?”

Kim Eun-ah hates sunlight, so her bodyguards even bring a parasol. In addition, it was natural for Kim Yun-ha to be surprised as she went to the esthetic and received skin care at the insistence of her mother Kim Yun-ha.

“I do get a bit of management, but...”

Kim Eun-ah was embarrassed by the sudden praise. Angela, on the contrary, poured out more praise.

“How beautiful the curves of the body are. Just a moment ago... I couldn’t take my eyes off of you exercising!”

“Something... is that so?”

Kim Eun-ah gradually falls for Angela’s praise. Now, Angela came right next to Kim Eun-ah.

“Still... I’m afraid that my muscles will get tight before the game due to intense exercise. I am very worried.”

Swoop.

Angela naturally puts her hand on Kim Eun-ah’s shoulder and uses her fingers to pamper her and presses her shoulder.

“Are you thinking of getting a massage from me? It’s just a shoulder or kneading skill. You must be very cool...”

Honey dripped from Angela’s eyes as she looked at Kim Eun-ah. Kim Eun-ah was taken aback by the sudden physical contact, but the guard was already lowered because the opponent was a woman. Rather, it was Amy who was surprised.

‘Uh Eun-ah... It’s dangerous!’

Amy seems to know something about Angela.

“ah! You can see the shower over there! Now we can go by ourselves! Isn’t that right?”

Let Amy change the subject by pointing to the shower room. Angela smiled sinisterly with a face that said it was rather good.

“Ah then... Shall we go in together? I was just about to wash myself.”

“what!? no! no way!”

Amy jumps up and down against the story that Angela is coming into the shower.

“Why are you really like that today? We can wash together. Are you saying it’s the opposing team in a mean way?”

Kim Eun-ah tut- and kicked her tongue at that appearance. Amy was filled with resentment.

“A real idiot! It’s not like that! Angela...”

Amy looked at Angela nervously as she was about to say something. Angela smiles as she looks at Amy. Amy looked away and spoke in a hushed voice.

“Hee hee... that’s why... Ah! right! You can’t have a strategy meeting with Angela, right? This is an urgent operation that must be addressed immediately!”

Amy’s excuse came up in a hurry.

Kim Eun-ah nodded while muttering, “That is also true.”

“Then there is nothing you can do.”

Angela groaned as if regretting it. But for a moment, Angela regained her manners and greeted the two of them politely.

“Then Eun-ah. Miss Amy? I hope to see you again.”

Amy saved Kim Eun-ah from the clutches of Angela.
