Thanks Tom for your support!!

[Flowering Night (2)]

Lets move quickly!

I wont tell you twice, everyone show the instructor what youve brought.

If you try to hide your phone, youll die! Ive seen a lot of kids like you, and I can tell whos trying to hide their phone and whos carrying things they shouldnt.

Anyone who brought cigarettes, alcohol, turn yourself in even now, quickly, quickly, and go to your accommodation!

The children were gathered in the basement auditorium of Dawn Hotel Chuncheon Branch.

A retreat for 4th and 5th graders.

The retreat instructors checked each childs luggage, starting with the first class of 4th graders.

This year must be different.

According to my older sisters, last year, they stayed in a youth hostel or something.

When Minji finished checking her luggage, she looked around the Dawn Hotel with a small sense of admiration.

It was a much different facility than what she had heard before.

Its just like you said.

Huh?

Its nothing.

Did Eunhas words slip out again?

Min-ji quickly covered her mouth as she looked back at Hayang, who was leading the way.

Somehow, she understood why the retreat venue had changed from this year.

Hayang didnt seem to know.

If they were going to change it, they should have changed the instructors for the training camp as well!

At first, I thought we were going to have fun for two days and three nights.

I should have thought harder about what the name of the retreat meant.

The instructor who led us to our assigned rooms was still keeping a sharp eye on us to make sure we werent misbehaving.

My neck pillow and sleeping pads, why are they prohibited items?

Captain, isnt it a good thing were getting them back when we go back?

Ha, with those, I could sneak out and sleep comfortably during recreation.

No Eunha, hes like that again.

Whats so good about sleeping?

No Eunhas voice could be heard heading towards the boys room.

Min-ji clicked her tongue in pity.

How can he be my childhood friend?

She stopped thinking about it.

No Eunha was always like that.

There was no point in getting mad at No Eunha for being No Eunha.

Anyway, he cant be without me.

I dont know if I can get along for two days and three nights.

She was already worried about Eunha.

With his personality, Eunha would either defy the instructors and do things his own way, or make things difficult for the boys in the same room, which was likely to happen.

Im glad Im in the same class as you guys!

So am I.

Well, I was expecting that.

Minji shrugged at the sight of Hayang and Seona, who had unpacked their things as soon as they entered the room.

There were 30 students in the third class of fourth grade at Doan Elementary School, 15 boys and 15 girls.

So each room was randomly assigned to five students.

Just for the other kids.

Apparently and most likely, No Eunha was in the same room as Choi Eunhyuk.

It was a obvious.

She had watched the drama endlessly, so this kind of situation was second nature to her.

Once youve unpacked, everyone, gather in the auditorium! We will begin the orientation now!

The instructor in the red hat shouted as he walked around the hall.

Minji hurriedly unpacked her things and headed out with the other kids who were now in the same room.

She bumped into Shin Min-young, who was coming out of the next room.

Hey, Minji, is that your room?

Youre there, Min-young.

Its good to be so close. Can we hang out later tonight?

No, well go to your room.

Ill go to yours.

I said Im coming to your room.

The two of them tussled in the middle of the hallway.

Will you move!

If the instructor hadnt spotted them and yelled, there would have been a never-ending scuffle in the middle of the hallway.

Upset, the girls ran for the stairs to get down to the auditorium.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

By the way, Min-ji.

Mhm? What?

You know we have a courage test tomorrow night, right?

I know, but why?

As Min-young ran down the stairs, turned around to speak, Minji tilted her head in confusion.

Min-young, who seemed embarrassed and hesitated to speak, looked cute even to Minjis eyes.

Maybe she was popular among the boys because she also looked pretty to girls.

Hey, I.

Minyoung mumbled, pursing her lips and fiddling with her fingers.

Her voice was so quiet that she couldnt properly continue her sentence.

Her roommates, who had pushed her and now shared the room with her, seemed to have already heard the story or something.

I have a crush on Eunha, and Im going to confess it tomorrow night at the courage test.

Huh?

What is she saying?

Minji doubted her ears.

Sed known all along that Shin Min-young liked No Eun-ha.

No, she knew that No Eunha was popular among the girls.

He might look lazy on the outside, but there was a certain confidence in his every move.

The girls could see it.

They could see that he wasnt doing things on purpose to make himself look special, but that he was acting out of an unknown confidence.

Therefore, the cocoon installed outside the metropolitan area was only able to protect the area where the main administrative functions were concentrated.

Theres just a right one.

Thats why in areas outside Seoul, monsters could be easily found.

High-level monsters needed to be exterminated, but with limited manpower, players couldnt afford to go after lower-level monsters one by one.

Eunha deliberately leaked mana, and a monster, sensing the mana, revealed itself in the thicket.

It was a Level 8 Pporori.

Im going to test you now.

A test?

Can you kill the monster or not?

The other children were still too young.

But with Eun-hyeok, he thought it was okay to try.

Eunhyuk had been training hard to become a player, and the only thing left for him to do to advance to the next level was to kill a monster.

A players combat skills come from killing someone, not protecting them.

What, are you nervous?

No. Im just relieved that this time has come.

Eunha smiled.

He couldnt find any hesitation in Eunhyuk.

It was as if he had been waiting for this day to come.

Eunhyuk looked at the knife in his hand and remained calm.

Now Im going to draw a boundary line. If the monster crosses the boundary, dont panic because Ill put it back inside.

Okay.

Its dark around here, so reinforce your eyes.

Creating a wide barrier with Eunhas internal mana was inefficient.

Instead, he created a boundary that separated the space, not a circle that covered it.

The moment a monster crossed it, he could react instantly.

Then, how well would Eunhyuk Choi do.

Before Eunha could finish his thoughts, Eunhyuk held the knife and ran.

He really doesnt hesitate.

He didnt lose his composure either.

Surprisingly, he pursued the Pporori with a calm demeanor. Without giving in to emotions, he controlled his pace and wielded his knife.

Its still a bit amateur, though.

But just chasing from behind wont do.

You need to anticipate how the monster will act next and know how to block its path.

The Pporori was flying. Even if Eunhyuk, who had manifested internal mana, was chasing it, he couldnt catch the creature as it darted through the trees.

The creature climbed up a tree trunk.

Eunhyuk hadnt learned wall-walking yet.

Argh!

All he could do was throw mana, gathered like a snowball, toward the creature on the tree from his vantage point.

But the mana he shot up couldnt reach the creatures feet.

His control and strength are lacking.

Well, what can you do?

This way, the battle wont go well.

Unable to help herself, Eunha tried to gather mana with the intention of dropping the monster on the tree.

Thats when it happened.

Eunhyuk, his whole body covered in mana, slammed into a wooden beam.

Ha, that ignorant guy.

It wasnt a bad choice.

The Pporori finally lost its balance and fell from the tree.

Due to exhausting his mana tremendously, he lost his balance and fell too.

Hah, hah

What fell from the tree wasnt just the Pporori.

A bug that had clung to the tree also fell onto Eunhyuks head.

Nevertheless, he focused solely on the Pporori and breathed heavily.

Not bad.

In the end, Eunhyuk, who had been sprawled out on the ground, annihilated the monster.

Eunha nodded his head when he saw him.

Hehe. Captain, how was I?

Passed. You didnt show any fear of the monsters and killed them well.

Well, monsters are just monsters, right?

Eunha chuckled.

Nevertheless, Eunhyuk didnt hesitate to bring down his knife without any hesitation until the Pporori was dead, making sure it couldnt escape.

This showed that he clearly recognized the monsters as enemies.

People, too, can be killed.

A player who can only kill monsters was no more than half-baked.

Whether Eunhyuk could move on to the next stage would be known someday.

So youre going to make me a real player now?

Im not going to make you, youre going to be you.

Then youll help me?

Its up to you.

Youre ruthless.

Life is ruthless by nature.

Eunhyuk looked at Eunha with a dissatisfied expression. Eunha shrugged and walked down the hill, leaving him behind.

Wait, Captain! Are you going to leave me like this!?

I could hear Eunhyuk shouting from behind me.

Thats how much mana hed use up before he could even stand up.

Its not over yet.

He still had a long way to go.

He needed to learn to control the pace of mana consumption. In the battlefield, players who couldnt control themselves and fell were destined to die.

Nows the time to learn, Eunhyuk. Come back before roll call.

In truth, he didnt want to carry Eun-hyeok on the way back.

Eunha went back to the hotel,

Kuck!

The moment he opened the door to his room, a pillow flew right at him.

You all can have Eunha, Ill have Eunhyuk.
