Classroom 302.
The place where Professor Kim Kwang-bu’s lecture is being held.
There was an unexpectedly familiar face here.
“Moon Ga-eun?”
As soon as I entered the lecture room, I saw her blue hair.
Distinctive facial features that imdiately draw attention.
Moon Ga-eun was sitting in a corner of the classroom, preparing for class.
“Oh, Do Jae-hyun… Hi.”
Moon Ga-eun awkwardly waved her hand as she flipped through her book.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, right?
It’s been almost a month since my last request.
Even though I was already in a bad mood after running into Kim Do-yoon, seeing a familiar face instantly lifted my spirits.
I happily went over and sat down next to her.
“I didn’t know you were taking too. I had no idea.”
Moon Ga-eun pouted her lips and said.
“Tsk, why wouldn’t you ask? I know your major, but how could you not even tell about a general education class you’re taking?”
“Ah… I’m always kind of like that when taking classes.”
While I do prefer taking classes with friends, when registering, I don’t really consider that.
The reason is, I get too busy during the sester.
On top of taking 6 classes a week, I also have exclusive classes with Professor Kim Myeong-hyun and Professor Tak Won-ho…
After learning all that, I need personal training ti to embody it.
Just doing that takes up most of the week, plus I have dungeons to manage.
Underground dungeons, goblin villages, stained rock piles.
I don’t own all of them, but I’m managing most of them solo.
To generate revenue, I have to consistently invest ti.
‘I wish I could clone myself.’
So when registering, I mainly focus on my own schedule.
Required classes, ti slots, and professors – everything revolves around , so I almost never match schedules with friends.
Not just Moon Ga-eun, but Kim Chae-eun, Kang Juyeon, Park Jin-woo – I haven’t taken any overlapping classes with them.
“You must be so busy you don’t even tell what you’re taking, right?”
My promotion from lower class to upper class in one sester said it all.
Moon Ga-eun knew that, yet still jokingly nagged .
“Hey. You should know everything you need to know about soone like . And I thought we didn’t need to say stuff like that between us anyway.”
“What do you an between us?”
I suddenly turned my head and scanned the lecture room.
“Publicly, we’re dat…”
“Shh…!! Quiet…!”
Even before I could finish my response…
Moon Ga-eun seed to have heard sothing she shouldn’t have.
Blushing, she hurriedly covered my mouth.
Then she whispered angrily into my ear.
“Are you crazy? That’s absolutely top secret at the academy, top secret…!!”
“Puhaha. That just shows how close we are. You know how busy I am.”
“Ugh, fine, I get it.”
I held in my laughter.
Sohow, teasing Moon Ga-eun after we got close was so much fun.
Whenever I poke at her, she reacts with surprise.
Especially after asking to pretend to be her boyfriend.
“…You two seem quite close.”
Just as I was joking with Moon Ga-eun.
An unwelco voice ca from the side.
My mood instantly dropped when I turned my head.
Ah, right.
He was here too.
“Who?”
Kim Do-yoon’s sudden intrusion.
Moon Ga-eun’s face scrunched up slightly at that.
Kim Do-yoon smiled his trademark smile and reached out his hand.
“Hi there. I’m Kim Do-yoon, a 1st year Warrior. You’re Moon Ga-eun from the Royal clan, right? I’m in the upper class with you but this is my first ti seeing you. Nice to et you. You’re much prettier than the rumors say. I’m pleasantly surprised.”
This bastard, listen to his spiel.
Saying this kind of thing to soone he’s eting for the first ti in real life.
Is his skin thick as steel, or does he not understand embarrassnt?
But Moon Ga-eun didn’t seem keen on shaking Kim Do-yoon’s hand.
Instead of taking it, she stared blankly at his outstretched hand, then suddenly turned to .
“Who is he?”
“…Ah.”
I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
Ignored.
It was a perfect ignore.
She didn’t seem interested in Kim Do-yoon’s words at all.
Her gaze was fixed solely on .
Implying her question was for from the start.
Most girls show so affection or interest when Kim Do-yoon approaches, but Moon Ga-eun was the complete opposite.
She put up a stone wall, unusually cold compared to her usual self.
She’s not normally like this with strangers…
Looks like she really didn’t like Kim Do-yoon butting in.
“……”
anwhile, Kim Do-yoon, who held out his hand to empty air…
Froze up as if he had beco invisible.
After what happened to him in the hallway with …
This was another massive humiliation.
“Puh…”
In the strange silence, I desperately held in my laughter.

Despite the brief happening, class proceeded normally.
Ti flew by and it was already 9 o’clock.
The professor entered, signaling the start of the first lecture on the first day of the sester.
Professor Kim Kwang-bu, from the Specialization departnt, was a middle-aged professor with slightly thinning hair on top.
He seed to have taught this class for a long ti, holding a worn theory book full of creases.
…Sohow, his na and appearance match perfectly.
“Hello, I’m Kim Kwang-bu.”
Professor Kim briefly greeted us, then calmly looked over the lecture room.
Then he imdiately opened his book and started lecturing.
‘Jumping right into the lesson?’
My ominous premonition might not be that off after all.
Professor Kim went straight into the lecture without any small talk or orientation, and didn’t even do roll call.
He instructed students to open their theory books to the first page as he picked up the mic.
Professor Kim Kwang-bu filled lecture ti fully with lessons, from the first day of the sester to the last.
“Did we choose the wrong class?”
Moon Ga-eun next to quietly asked.
“…Let’s wait and see. I heard his evaluations were good.”
There were two professors teaching in the Specialization departnt.
Professor Kim Kwang-bu had by far the best evaluations.
That was why I chose him despite the disadvantage of a Monday 8am lecture.
And…
Professor Kim soon proved right.
” …To summarize, the current mainstream argunt is that all Holders have talent for slaughter. Like magic control runes obtained through enlightennt, slaughter runes can also be acquired postnatally as a derivative rune.”
…
…
” …As I said before, slaughter requires perseverance, patience, repetition and practice. Most combat Holders looked down on and neglected this, which is why there have been so few Holders who have gained slaughter runes… This is the conclusion reached. Of course, Holders specialized in slaughter who have slaughter runes from awakening are a separate issue.”
…
The students who sighed wearily when the lecture started had bright, shining eyes just 10 minutes in.
Interesting.
Professor Kim’s lecture was interesting.
His solidly established theories were well worth taking notes on, and his low, sonorous voice was surprisingly dynamic, keeping the sowhat dry contents from getting boring at all.
‘A middle-aged professor using a wireless presenter…’
His lecturing thod was completely next-gen too.
Professor Kim provided PPT slides to students using a huge beam projector, and gave presentations rivaling office workers using a wireless clicker.
Yes, presentations.
It felt like watching presentations rather than a lecture.
That’s how absorbing it was.
” …In that regard, this lecture will focus on practical training in collaboration with the academy, unlike the theory classes. Also, excluding theory lectures, practical training classes will have students in groups of three.”
Before I realized, the lecture ti approached 50 minutes as it wrapped up.
And as he concluded the class…
Professor Kim announced the start of group assignnts.
Nothing too surprising.
It was described in the syllabus, and a lecture was bound to have a high ratio of practical components anyway.
But the group assignnt thod was unexpected.
“Groups were assigned at the professor’s discretion considering majors. If vacancies arise due to drops, etc I will make a separate announcent.”
I assud random or application-based assignnt, but discretionary?
While normal groupings would be preferable…
I had a bad feeling about this.
“I will now announce groups while dismissing students. Feel free to leave after confirming your group. First, Group 1. 2nd year Warrior Han Dong-hee, 1st year Archer Jeong Suk-won…”
Druek-
Drueuruk-
Professor Kim continued calling out new groups, and students who confird theirs began standing up and exiting the classroom.
With most of the students around us gone…
When the people near us disappeared, Professor Kim called out the last group.
The one I was in.
“Finally, Group 32. 1st year Warrior Kim Do-yoon, 1st year Assassin Do Jae-hyun, 1st year Archer Moon Ga-eun. That concludes the group announcents and today’s lecture. Thank you for your hard work.”
With that, Professor Kim left the lecture room.
Should I consider this good fortune?
Or was it just as I felt, and I got a bad draw?
It was nice being grouped with Moon Ga-eun, who I was closest with among the students, but I was also grouped with a ticking ti bomb.
spy, Kim Do-yoon.
While docile for now, he was a potential criminal who could cause issues anyti.
“We’re all in the sa group. Let’s all try our best.”
After the lecture ended, we stood up from our seats…
Kim Do-yoon smiled with his mask back on and spoke.
But Moon Ga-eun didn’t respond, briefly looking at her phone instead, and I chewed on his words absentmindedly, lost in thought.
‘A head-on clash with … could co faster than I thought.’
Kim Do-yoon taking implied many things.
While it may have simply been an overlapping lecture, the fact that we were in the sa assigned group made it hard to write off as re coincidence.
It was most likely influence was involved.
Up until now, I had only vaguely thought we might clash…
But with them making this move to monitor closely.
I should start preparing counterasures of my own.
