Chapter 161

Episode 161

Gaon’s final evaluation exam is an important event that concludes the first year of the academy. Thanks to this, the final exams used to grow in scale like an annual event.

“...It’s our school, but it’s amazing. How much money do you have?”

Lee Chae-hyun looked down at the far-flung sea and said. Just looking at the large cruise I was borrowing, it was not the size of the funds to be used for the academy’s exam.

Lee Chae-hyun was also born as the daughter of the chairman of a small and medium-sized business and lived a wealthy life, but was surprised by Gaon’s spending.

“We are the people who will save the world. Of course.”

On the other hand, Min Seong-hyuk seemed to have gotten used to being treated by Gaon.

“Why are we called the Hunter powerhouse? It’s all thanks to the large size of the infrastructure for these hunters...

”

Let’s frown with Lee Chae-hyun’s expression. Min Seong-hyeok clears his throat with an embarrassed face and stops talking.

At that time, Lee Chae-hyun’s face brightened as if she had found someone.

“Oh, here it comes. Our partner!”

The figure walking from afar is none other than Shin Yuseong. Lee Chae-hyun often walked closer to Shin Yoo-seong and raised his thumb with a loud sound.

“I saw the broadcast. The battle against the British was really tough. Is it Lorelai? You beat a kid that easily?”

“You talk really.... without dignity...”

Min Seong-hyeok looked at him with an embarrassing face, but Shin Yoo-seong shook hands casually.

‘...They both had high grades in S class.’

Of course, even Lee Si-woo, who was regarded as a weakling, has shown great success in the national competition. Among the members of Class S, there was no student comparable to Shin Yoo-seong’s party members.

If Sumire, the necromancer, did her best, it would not be difficult to face the entire S class by herself.

The gap between students who simply lived school life and students who gained experience and artifacts in real life was huge.

Shin Yoo-seong is a freshman who is achieving the most unique growth among them.

Lee Chae-hyun looked at Shin Yoo-seong with a happy expression.

‘Certainly, if it’s on the level of Shin Yoo-seong, there’s nothing wrong with getting close.’

Lee Chae-hyun only allowed the next seat to people of the ‘level’ who matched with her. The reason why he hangs out with Seonghyuk Min in class S is because he has high grades and a good background like himself.

Lee Chae-hyun thought that if the opponent was Shin Yoo-seong, it would be worth getting close to.

“I~ I felt a lot while watching your game~ I was very happy when I heard that we were going to take the test together this time?”

Lee Chae-hyun approached Shin Yoo-seong. And Lee Chae-hyun looking up at Shin Yoo-seong with a single smile.

‘...That guy is starting again.’

Min Sung-hyuk sighed openly, but Lee Chae-hyun’s appeal to Shin Yoo-seong did not stop.

“Uh here... You, but your tie is a bit loose.”

Suk-Lee Chae-hyun tied her own tie while making eye contact with Shin Yoo-sung. Due to the height difference, even the slight lifting of the heels seemed proficient.

“thank you.”

However, with an expressionless face, except for short answers, Shin Yoo-seong’s attitude is so calm.

‘...but why is he so unresponsive?’

Most of the male students Lee Chae-hyun has met so far can only smile at her eyes. It was the kind of heart that opens in the eyes.

This is possible because most of the male students who aspire to become hunters have little experience with women due to busy training.

On the other hand, Shin Yoo-seong even gave him a tie himself, but there was too little reaction even if there was no reaction.

“So, do you want to have a meal together after the exam? Is it too date-like? ...Seonghyeok and I are fine.”

Lee Chae-hyun put Shin Yoo-seong’s arm between his armpits. A kind of special move that has won all kinds of male students the OK sign so far.

“sorry. It must be hard because you are busy?”

However, Shin Yoo-seong refused this time again with an unapologetic face.

‘...isn’t this bastard eunuch?’

Even if it’s because he’s coming now, Lee Chae-hyun is in a situation where it’s hard to back down.

at that time.

Talk-!

“evil!”

Lee Chae-hyun, who was hit in the back of the head with a pebble-sized mana, screamed out loud. When I turned my head back, I saw Kim Eun-ah’s face looking at herself with a sad expression.

“Hey what are you doing? To someone else’s party leader.”

under-!

Lee Chae-hyeon snorted and then sneered at Kim Eun-ah without losing.

“Why can’t we get to know each other without a party? I am also your partner until this exam. And what are others doing?”

Lee Chae-hyun shrugged. Kim Eun-ah gathered mana on her index finger again.

What I see in front of me is my 5-year-old self, shivering from the cold, hugging a teddy bear.

[...I’m hungry.]

For Adela, the memory of her childhood in Volterra was hell.

cold

Hungry.

More than anything.

[Mom... Dad... I miss you.]

A lonely memory.

[...Why did you leave me alone?]

The 5-year-old couldn’t understand why his parents had to leave for Louis, leaving him as a child.

Adela is different every day.

[I hate it.]

It has changed.

[It’s painful...]

The warmth I had in my heart quickly cooled. Adela’s inner side, which had been embracing the bright light, was engulfed by a dark gray light.

A barren place where a 5-year-old can never live without killing his inner self. Volterra, where Louis the Witch appeared, was such a place.

3 months like that.

Adela didn’t want to see her dad anymore.

I didn’t want to eat my mother’s soup any more.

I didn’t even feel the cold anymore.

It was hard to warm my cold heart.

A scene that changes as if the screen is moving.

Adela’s eyes showed a familiar yet unfamiliar face.

[Adela. I’ll be back soon, okay?]

Father.

[Only 3 days. I’m waiting alone for 3 days. Huh?]

Mother.

[sorry. Really really... But it can’t be helped.]

Looking at the scenery in her dream, Adela opened her mouth involuntarily.

– Don’t go....

The words were not spat out.

It just stayed in my mouth.

I wanted to ask you to stay by my side, but the two spread their hands.

Saaaa-!

Looking at the blue barrier surrounding the house. Adela tightly closed her eyes. It felt like 3 months of hell rushing at me all at once.

Pod!

“Ugh! Black! Ugh...”

Adela woke up from her dream and gasped. The place where I am is a bed in a dorm. It was no longer the hellish Volterra.

‘...Was it a dream?’

that buck that buck

Adela sighed and walked helplessly toward the bathroom. The cold sweat running through her body made the terrible dream that Adela had experienced more vivid.

Swoop. Let’s

get out of the pajamas we were wearing one by one. Adela’s body was exposed, not wearing a single thread.

Adela was no longer her 5-year-old self. So it was right to walk away from the memories that were like hell.

‘But why...’

As time goes by, does the memory of that time entangle oneself more?

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-

Adela thought as she was bathed in the pouring water from the shower head.

meet that person right away.

colliding with each other

I want to feel alive.

I wanted to rely on anything to get rid of this feeling.
