[Baek A-rin, will the Lord of the Sea co to visit during the birth ceremony?]
I was in Baek A-rin’s arms, lting her.
While analyzing her condition with such concentration that her head creaked, a thought suddenly occurred to and I put it in my necklace.
“Sseueupp, haa… I don’t know…”
Baek A-rin blinked and trailed off. Her breath, which had now beco lukewarm, tapped against her hair. She, who was as limp as water, put strength into the arm holding and continued speaking languidly.
“There has been a chain of rampages in the territory recently. I’m not sure because you’re leading troops to deal with it.”
[Aha…]
“Since the territory is so large, it happens often. There are no casualties because it’s an uninhabited area filled with dungeons and monsters, but if we leave it alone, it will continue to grow, so we have to deal with it quickly.”
The jurisdiction of the three major families… The largest territory is the Changhae family.
Unlike the Gaphwa and Taesan families, who are located in the inner part of the Korean Peninsula, the Changhae family has secured vast territory from the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.
Of course, most of the territory is barren land that has changed to a cold climate, but dungeons occur frequently in vast territories.
The larger the managent area, the more dungeons and monsters it has to deal with. It is common for factions to fall because they cannot handle them.
The existing factions reduce unnecessary territories, and the newly established factions maintain small territories.
This is because the Changhae family has the power to deal with dungeons and monsters that occur in vast territories.
‘In addition, Gaphwa and Taesan are standing guard right below.’
The three major families have maintained a relationship that is no different from a blood alliance for the past 200 years.
They actively interact with each other on a regular basis, and they send generously when needed.
When the twin-headed dragon appeared and China was turned upside down, even the heads of the clans ca up with their troops to help.
“Sseupp, hoo… If things are properly sorted out, you may co late, but if things are not sorted out late, you may not be able to co.”
[I understand]
However, the head of the clan of Changhae must be very busy with construction work because he has to pour that much effort into managing the territory.
That is why Baek A-rin is not sure about visiting during the birth ceremony.
Baek A-rin shrugged and buried her nose in my hair. Sniff sniff… Her breath, which had beco quite lukewarm, tapped the inside of my hair.
It was not awkward to see her sniffing my scent so openly. Other people were like that, and Baek A-rin in particular always buried her nose in my hair when she was warming up.
‘… … ’
I didn’t feel offended by that, but I did have a complaint that Baek A-rin was the only one who slled my scent.
Every ti Baek A-rin moved her body, her bulging shirt rubbed her face. She had already taken off her outerwear, and her shirt was half wet with water and half sweat.
She buried her nose in that chest and sniffed hard, but she was dissatisfied that she couldn’t sll anything.
… Every ti that happened, she felt the urge, but sohow she held back and pursed her lips.
‘Will I not be able to et the head of the Changhae family during the birth ceremony?’
The current head of the Changhae family is Baek Wol-seon, Baek A-rin’s biological father, and he is renowned as one of the best heroes.
‘I wonder if that person knows Baek A-rin’s condition…’
Baek A-rin’s biological father. If they were her parents who had been with her since birth, it wouldn’t be strange if they knew Baek A-rin’s condition.
On the other hand, since it was a secret that was hard to find out even with the power of observation, there’s a chance that they don’t know.
No matter what, she really wants to et him and ask him.
‘… Of course, I’m very nervous about eting him… ’
As I hugged Baek A-rin’s waist tightly, I suddenly noticed the ring on her finger.
It was the ring I had made for her last ti, and it was on her left ring finger.
A strange sense of satisfaction tickled my heart as I observed it.

Although it was overshadowed by the big festival of the birth festival, the midterm evaluation schedule was also approaching.
The midterm evaluation is an evaluation that is held every sester. The midterm evaluation of the second sester is held before the birth festival.
Of course, it is not as big as the midterm evaluation of the first sester.
Usually, the midterm evaluation of the first sester is strict, and the midterm evaluation of the second sester is easy.
That is why the midterm evaluation this ti is held over two days, not five. No outsiders are invited, and no large tournant is held to be broadcasted externally.
It is a simple schedule with written tests on the first day and practical tests according to major on the second day.
In addition, since the distribution of points was better than in the first sester, the cadets did not feel much pressure.
However, since it was an evaluation that affected their grades, the cadets who were excited about the upcoming birth festival were sowhat tense and prepared for the last exam of the year.
I was similar.
I was not particularly tense. We had spent a few days studying and practicing together at the mansion.
“We will start the written evaluation soon.”
That was how the first day of the midterm evaluation began.
I sat down inside the evaluator assigned to and waited for it to start.
Unfortunately, I was assigned a different evaluator than everyone else. I even had a foolish suspicion that there might have been so kind of manipulation.
“There are 30 questions, and the test ti is 1 hour per subject. If you have answered all the questions for a subject, you can move on to the next subject right away. Those who have finished the evaluation within the ti limit can leave first.”
As I listened to the announcent sound coming from the speaker hanging high on the ceiling, mories of the first sester ca flooding back.
I sat down and looked over the organized content several tis, ditated, and took deep breaths to calm my nerves…
I still vividly rember that the test I took while feeling tense was extrely difficult and that I had no ti to rest because of the limited ti.
How anxious was I that I might slip and my ranking would drop? If that had happened, the perception of those around would have dropped as well.
Honestly, I didn’t really care about my reputation, but I was desperate to not let my teacher, who taught , down.
“Ti has passed. I will now begin the written test.”
I wasn’t particularly nervous at the mont. I took off my smartwatch, handed it to the staff who approached , and waited for a mont, and the test began.
I checked the printed questions on my tablet with a calm expression.
Just like in the first sester, the first subject was magic. It was a vicious sight to put difficult subjects first in order to shake the students’ ntality.
‘30 questions in 1 hour… Both the questions and the ti were reduced compared to the first sester. The difficulty… It’s gotten harder as the progress.’
I checked all 30 questions in the magic subject by manipulating the tablet while the students started solving the problems in a hurry.
Imdiately after, I used so of the split thinking to calculate the problems in parallel.
‘Finish solving.’
- Swish, swish…
While the other students were just solving the first problem, my pen moved without stopping for a mont.
[I’m leaving]
“Yes? Oh, yes, I understand. You can leave the tablet and leave. You can get your belongings back at the desk.”
[Thank you]
That’s how I was able to leave early, leaving behind the students who were sweating profusely and waving their pens.
I urged them a little, but I didn’t doubt the result.
I got my smartwatch back from the employee who looked flustered, asking if I was leaving already, and quickly left the evaluator.
- Hoohoohoo!
- … Hooohoo…
The cold, cold wind blew against my hair. Suddenly, I blew into the wind and my pure white breath ca out.
I walked quickly and passed a tree whose leaves had fallen.
The pedestrians' clothes beca thicker, and the trees, on the other hand, were shedding leaves.
The cradle had suddenly taken on a wintery atmosphere.
It was a season I absolutely hated.
A cold and chilly season.
Because of the snow and ice everywhere, it was so hard to fall asleep on the floor. The chill that seed to freeze my bones ca to mind, and my limbs felt numb.
I hurried my steps and soon arrived at my destination.
It was the entrance to the 6th Evaluation Office, which was still desolate.
I killed ti by wandering around the desolate entrance.
- Praise, this ti I seem to have gotten all the superhuman special laws right
- Did you write down all the laws that were exceptional in a disaster situation?
- Oh shit… Huh?
After a short wait, when the test was over, cadets began to co out of the entrance.
The cadets who had been coming out one by one in dots soon began to pour out like a tidal wave.
The cadet who had been grumbling and coming out from the front opened his eyes wide when he saw .
[Hello]
“Oh, yes, hello.”
When I slightly bowed my head, the cadet greeted in a bewildered manner. The cadets following behind also reacted in surprise when they saw .
I left them behind and opened my eyes slightly. For so reason, I ignored the sound of soone swallowing their breath and rolled my eyes left and right.
No matter where I looked, my vision was filled with a dull fog. I recognized the cadet in front of with his mouth open, but I couldn’t see him.
Red was shining through the gaps.
Bright red hair and eyes that sparkled like jewels.
The outer garnt of the cadet uniform that I had personally put on instead of the baseball jacket that I usually wore.
The sweet scent of flesh wafting from afar.
A red scarf, the sa color as her fluttering hair, wrapped around her neck.
“Hehehe.”
The corners of my mouth, which had been shut, trembled in satisfaction. I ignored the noises that kept coming from around and kept walking.
“Yeonhwa.”
Hong Yeonhwa, who had been shuffling out with her hands in her pockets, opened her eyes wide. In the anti, I quickly ran to Hong Yeonhwa and hugged her tightly.
The cool surroundings suddenly beca warm. I raised my head, shaking at the warm body temperature that could be felt through my clothes.
“What, were you waiting outside? Where did you go when it’s cold…”
Hong Yeonhwa placed her hand on my cheek with her eyes wide open. Her slightly chilly cheek lted at the body temperature.
“I’m okay because I arrived just before the end… Yeah, keep touching .”
A gurgling sound ca from my throat. I grabbed her hand that was about to fall and pushed her cheek in.
As I lifted my magpie leg and shook my head, I could feel the softness of the red scarf.
“Hehehe.”
I was filled with satisfaction again.
It was a warm winter.
