Chapter 219

Chapter 219

The academy had various outside food establishments scattered around the premises, including a chicken franchise located in the basement floor of the high school lecture building.

The chic store with its sophisticated interior was deserted, unlike the late evening hours.

The reason became apparent only when she asked the people occupying the seats.

Euna rented it with points.

Noona, using points to rent a store

Eunhas expression turned pale after hearing Yeonhwas words.

Furthermore, Changjin whispered that the stores revenue would be covered by the groups sponsorship for the time rented.

All she could do was laugh it off.

The scale was too large.

There was no room for extravagance.

Its okay. We have enough points this year, and Seoyeon also said not to spare the sponsorship when youre eating delicious food with her, right?

Thats all debt, Noona

Well, if theres a problem later, Dad will take care of it, wont he?

It felt like discovering another side of Eunha she didnt know.

Seeing her smiling as if she had no fears, he raised his white flag.

Euna was the truth.

While others might not, Eunha could nod to whatever she said.

But such truth set the mood as if demanding the right course.

I heard a rumor today.

The ordered chicken arrived.

The smell of fried food stimulated their senses, making them salivate.

As he was about to transfer the chicken to a plate, Yeonhwa handed him a cola to accompany it

Eunha, they say youre following Bae Soobin? What?

He dropped the plate he was moving the chicken onto.

Euna asked him if the story she heard a while ago was true.

The returning story was the same.

And gradually, her voice revealed more urgency.

The rumor I heard today was that Noh Eunha, who ranked second in the secondary academy entrance exam, stalking Bae Soobin.

Either way, its the same thing, isnt it, Changjin?

Yeah, Eunas words are correct.

Han Changjins judgment was instantaneous.

He shook his head in dismay while dipping his hand, initially reaching for mustard sauce, hastily into seasoned sauce.

Eunha looked at him behaving like a comedy act beside Euna as if he found him pathetic.

Sensing his gaze, Han Changjin averted his eyes with an awkward smile.

Anyway, is the rumor true?

Theres no way that could be true. I did approach her, but saying I stalked her is an exaggeration

Its true that you approached her.

A chill ran down his spine.

Eunha was scared by the chill emanating from her.

Even without asking, he could sense how she was feeling right now.

Who is she?

Shes the one who ranked third in the recent entrance exam and is expected to become an excellent caster.

What about her looks? Is she pretty? Shes on the pretty side. More than me? Of course, Noona, youre prettier.

What about her personality? Is she kind?

Shes not particularly kind If shes not kind, is she bad? Shes not bad, but shes like Minji. She really hates losing and doesnt neglect efforts. How do you know that, Eunha?

Just an intuition.

It felt like stepping on a mine.

Facing Eunas gaze was like confronting a predator.

On the other hand, Yeonhwa and Changjin were eating chicken without paying attention to the conversation.

He didnt eat a single piece himself.

Why did you approach her?

I wanted to become friends with her

As in romantically? No, thats not it. Absolutely not.

Eunha firmly denied it.

To him, Bae Soobin was a colleague.

He had never thought of her in a romantic way.

Perhaps satisfied with the answer, Euna relaxed her stiff expression and sighed, as if relieved.

Yet, she didnt forget to double-check.

Really? Youre not lying to me, right?

Why would I lie to Noona?

If you lie later, Ill be mad.

That wont happen.

Okay, hungry? Lets quickly eat our chicken!

Only then could Eunha eat the chicken.

Eunha watched him eating the chicken contentedly, and whenever the plate emptied, she refilled it, smiling, feeling satisfied just by watching him eat.

But how did you do something that caused such a rumor?

I didnt do anything much

Eunha didnt particularly care about what she did to Soobin.

So, he casually brushed it off while savoring the chicken.

Yeonhwa and Changjin, who had heard the story, didnt close their mouths.

Who approaches someone on their first meeting?

I approached her because I was lucky

It was vague at first

Euna let out a sigh.

She reconfirmed her younger brothers mischief and reprimanded him.

He recalled two individuals who were part of Ontaeyangs comrades in the 031 cohort.

<Holy Maiden> Chae Eunwoo.

<Divine Archer> Hoshimiya Kaede.

Both were impressive talents. In the previous life, both had been active as supporters and rangers supporting Ontaeyang, even playing a decisive role in subduing the Second Hierarch Monster Maegu.

I should approach Chae Eunwoo first.

Chae Eunwoo is bound to join the Culture Exploration Club.

That would make it easier to approach her as fellow club members.

With that in mind, Eunha sought out members of the Culture Exploration Club.

Oh? Wait, isnt that Noh Eunha, who enrolled as a top student this time?

Really? And isnt the one next to him Jung Hayang?

What? Really?

..

The kids, casually looking around, were all speechless.

The people handing out flyers were giving Noh Eunha and Jung Hayang intense looks.

They had the predatory gaze of a bird targeting its prey.

Hey, do any of you have an interest in the rock climbing club!? Our Mythology and Literature Club has tons of material for researching monsters!

Hey! If youre a guy, obviously its the Swordsmanship Club!

Club members closed in. Word spread, and more people gathered.

In no time, the kids found themselves surrounded.

Noh Eunha! Hurry, take Hayang and run!

Minji, it seems like its not the right time for Eunha and Hayang to leave

Shouting amidst the crowd, Minji was cautious.

Sena guarded against the encroaching crowd.

Sena was right.

The people already knew they were at the top academically.

Unni, Oppa, Ill handle it. You want a girlfriend? Ah, even a boyfriend.

We really are like family in our club. Ive never seen anyone regret joining us.

The kids patted each others backs.

As if they were surrounded by monsters.

[Kids, when I give the signal, run! Eunha, take care of Hayang!]

Sena sent a telepathic message.

All the kids nodded.

Eunha tightly held Hayangs hand to ensure they could escape the crowd.

Noh Eunha.

What?

Jin Parang spoke up with a somewhat serious tone.

Baring his fangs, he set a death flag.

Lets see who survives.

Hyung, dont make the situation tense for no reason.

Of course, Eunha didnt respond.

But oddly, that seemed to please Parang more.

Oh yeah! Bring it on, everyone!

Excited, Jin Parang shouted.

Just as if they were waiting for that moment, Sena sent a signal telepathically.

[Guys, run! Lets solve our lunch problem separately today!]

You might not be able to hang out here for a while! Captain, see you later!

All of you, go! Ill holduh!

Shut up and run, you blockhead!

The kids scattered, breaking through the encircling crowd.

Eunha and Hayang also exhibited their inner mana and swiftly made their way off-campus.

When they arrived at an empty area after running for a while, the two finally stopped.

I thought we were going to get scolded.

Theyre really scary people. I dont think we should come near the student cafeteria for a while. But it was fun! Yeah, it was.

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Then, they decided to have lunch.

Since lunchtime was already over, they planned to quickly grab something from the school store.

Is there a nearby school store here?

I know! Its inside this building.

You memorized the academy layout? I just looked at the guidebook out of boredom the other day.

Hayang looked sheepish as she stuck out her tongue. Chuckling, Eunha entered the building she was pointing to.

As they turned the corner to find the store, suddenly

Hello, were the Ancient Literature Research Club. Nice to m.

A flyer thrust out suddenly as they turned the corner.

Eunha blinked as she recognized the person handing out flyers.

It was Bae Soobin.

Why are you?

Not today.

She denied quickly. As someone who had decided not to follow her anymore, he felt unjustly treated.

But she seemed to have guessed something on her own.

She seemed about to say something.

Right then

Soobin, whats wrong? Is something bothering you? Oh, Oppa. Its nothing.

A man who came out of the store approached Bae Soobin in a friendly manner.

At that moment, Eunha saw it.

She had been staring at him, then instantly changed her expression to look happy as she gazed at the man.

Ah, so its him.

He had hoped they wouldnt meet, but it seemed fated.
