Unlocked chapter (10/13)

[Brainwave and Silent (2)]

<Brainwave> Lee Dojin was one of the relatively trouble-free members among the Twelve Seats.

This was better than <Flame Demon> Kang Hyun-cheol, who became a Twelve Seat around the same time, who fumbled with the flames and set them on fire.

Furthermore, Lee Dojin had a reputation for being a good and gentlemanly player, especially since Kwak Woo-hyuk, <Landman>, who had been selected as part of the Second Generation among the Twelve Seats before the regression, and Choo Young-hoon, <One-Man Fortress>, did not have a favorable behavior.

Not only was he the owner of <Brainwave>, skilled in handling mana, and possessed a good personality, he also didnt abuse his power.

Hes even good-looking.

Eunha sighed in envy as he watched Lee Dojin deal with the Manticore that couldnt even move properly.

He really was filthy handsome.

The kids with smartphones were busy taking pictures of him, as if they didnt even remember the trauma of the monster.

Wow~! Hes so handsome!

Oppa! Look here!

Seriously, he looks like a celebrity!

Ive seen him on TV before! I thought he was a celebrity, but hes a player!

Apparently, the Mana Management Organization even went as far as putting him on television to improve the image of the players, choosing someone with a sculpted appearance.

Among the general public who vaguely knew about the existence of players, Lee Dojin could be considered the most exposed player in the media.

Seriously How can someone so handsome be a player? This is insulting to dramas!

Mukminji, can you see Lee Dojins face from this distance?

Eunha shot a disgusted look at Minji, who had practically draped herself halfway out the window.

Minji, who had her feet planted on the ground, glared back with an irritated expression.

No eunha, talk straight. Whats Lee Do-jin. Is he your friend? You should call him Dojin oppa, Dojin oppa!

Okay, can you see Lee Dojins face from this distance?

Of course, theres a handsome guy over there, how can I not see him!

Uh, yeah.

Eunha decided not to speak.

Even if Minji was so passionate in her tone, Eunha didnt want to get into a confrontation over something like this.

He decided to stay away from her.

Captain, I dont know whats wrong with Minjis head today. Maybe the milk she drank earlier went bad?

In this weather? The milk cant go bad, just leave her alone. Shes just crazy about Lee Dojin again. If we ignore her, shell come to her senses eventually.

As expected, Captain!

Why? I also think Lee Dojin is cool.

Seona, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, shook her head as if she didnt understand.

Her fox tail wagged gently, and she was observing Lee Dojins battle with her red eyes squinted.

Besides his face his impressive movement, luring the monsters attacks skillfully, is really cool.

I agree with that.

Seonas eyes followed Lee Dojins movements, his agile dodges and timely strikes against the monster several times his size.

He ran across, never backing down from a monster many times his size, and dropped thunderbolts from gaps.

Even Eunha had to admit it.

Unlike Kang Hyun-cheol, who used brute force without considering strategy, Idojin moved thoughtfully.

Like him, he was a mana-efficient player.

Eunhyuk, keep an eye on him. Dont look up to squids like Kang Hyun-chul, look up to players like Lee Dojin.

No Eunha, I said is not Lee Dojin, is Lee Dojin oppa!

Captain, Im going to try to be more like player Lee Dojin from today.

Eunhyuk, who had vowed to do something, glanced at Seona, who was looking out the window as if mesmerized.

Seona wasnt even looking at him.

Eunha tried to touch his shoulder to comfort him.

Then he realized he was holding onto Hayangs hand.

How long does she plan to hold his hand?

The children in the class who had witnessed Lee Dojins lightning strike had already recovered from the trauma.

The monsters threat had been defused.

And yet, she hadnt let go of his hand.

It was so natural that he didnt even think about it.

Eunha, what?

Hayang asked with a giggle.

Eunha clicked his tongue inwardly.

Jung Hayang, she had really changed.

She wasnt always a girl like this.

Our Jung Hayang has changed.

I knew when it was coming.

It was when she started interacting with the affiliate kids.

Maybe it was after she decided to befriend Han Seohyun.

Its nothing.

Tsk.

Come to think of it, Eunha was also the one holding onto her.

He released the grip on his hand.

Though Hayang pursed her lips, she kept her gaze fixed outside.

.

The battle was coming to a close.

The Manticore, unable to support its weight and prone to collapse, heaved itself to its feet with a final squeeze of strength.

A low growl was heard, and a malevolent energy surged around it.

Far away from the commotion, Eunha talked to Seona, who was eating lunch without being swept up in the atmosphere.

Minji and Eunhyuk had picked up on the rumor that Dojin had entered the cafeteria and were the first to run down the hall as soon as the bell rang.

They were now seated to his left and right, talking to him.

Seona, on the other hand, didnt seem to pay much attention to him.

Even though Dojin is really cool, I like eating with you guys.

But that Choi Eunhyuk guy.

With a spoon in her mouth, Seona shook her head from side to side.

Her gaze was fixed on Eunhyuk in a way that made Lee Dojin uncomfortable, as Eunhyuk did not back away and remained steadfast.

Well. Eunhyuks got a real target, and its better than Kang Hyunchul.

Well, thats true.

She seemed to agree with Eunhas thoughts.

In a way, the gentlemanly and sincere Lee Dojin was better than the crazy Kang Hyun-chul.

When youre done, lets go back to class. There are too many people here.

Eunha, Seona, can we go to the cafeteria? I want some hot cocoa!

Okay.

They decided to leave the cafeteria behind.

As they left the cafeteria, Eunha smirked at Lee Dojins confused expression.

Even Lee Dojin, who would be called the strongest player in Korea in the distant future, was having a hard time dealing with elementary school children.

He cant afford to lose this.

Hell have a harder time in the future.

Inwardly, Eunha wished him good luck as he struggled against Minji and Eunhyuk.

A hero never takes a day off, even when hes eating.

Huh? Is that unnie also a player?

It was when they were leaving the student cafeteria and heading towards the snack shop.

Hayang noticed a woman standing in front of the snack shop.

The woman, who wore a headband-type hearing protection around her neck, was staring through the glass door.

With a rifle-like firearm strapped to her back, she was a player everywhere they looked.

Thats.

Do you know her?

Youve probably seen her before too.

Eunha recognized the womans face in the glass door and shrugged.

The children didnt dare go near her at the sight of her unfriendly face, but Eunha dragged them closer.

Arent you going in?

He said to the woman standing in front of the glass door.

The woman, who had been staring intensely into the snack shop, slowly lowered her gaze.

Her unreadable eyes stared back at him.

Im not a student here.

Everyone knows youre not a student, noona. No one will say anything even if you use the snack shop.

.

The sniper fell silent.

Then she nodded and stepped through the door Eunha was holding, entering the snack shop.

Welcome, everyone. What would you like to have?

Three hot chocolates, please!

Ill take something warm, maam.

Hayang rushed to the counter and extended three fingers as she placed her order.

Seona made a small remark beside her.

The snack shop owner, who knew both of them, kindly spoke as she handed over the ordered drinks.

Then, she turned to the woman who was thoroughly examining the menu.

What about you? Miss?

The snack shop owner called out to the woman.

She was still absorbed in studying the menu.

This person doesnt usually listen to other people.

Taking a sip of his hot chocolate, Eunha thought to himself.

She was always like this.

Apart from her sniper activities, she was a player who typically immersed herself in her own world, paying no attention to what others said.

Despite that, her skills were unmatched among snipers.

.

Because of that, people mixed mockery and admiration, calling her <Silent>,

Mockery for not responding even when called,

Admiration for silently sniping without sound.

Ill take your order.

Twleve Seat, <Silent>, Yoo Soo-jin.

The youngest of the Twelve, shes been mocked and honored, but she never wavered.

One sweet potato pizza bun, two hot dogs, schnitzel chicken, and ama chicken, one cheeseburger and bulgogi hamburger, one Pringles of each flavor, spicy shrimp chips, Wehahs, and corn chips.

Miss, can you eat all of that by yourself?

For the first time, the snack shop owner met the eyes of the sniper and spoke with a bewildered expression.

Five picnic sets.

.

Theres no way you can eat all of that.

Eunha, who had never expected her to say so much, muttered in disbelief, his expression dumbfounded.

It was a moment when the image of the sniper, silently performing her duties in his memory, shattered into pieces.
