Chapter 198
[Please take good care of ]
It was sumr vacation.
The conglorate groups announced that they would recruit scholarship recipients for elentary school students supporting the Player Academy.
The recruitnt period was the sa for everyone.
It was stated that duplicate applications were not allowed.
It could pierce the pride of the conglorate groups if done incorrectly.
Students applying to the Player Academy had to carefully consider their abilities and the scope of sponsorship before applying.
I didnt need to worry, though.
Eunha was already nominated as a scholarship recipient for the Sirius Group.
Thanks to his father and Han Seohyuns influence.
As a result, while other kids couldnt fully enjoy their sumr vacation, Eunha spent his ti relatively freely.
Is this the Player Academy!?
Well, its not bad. I was expecting the exterior of the building to be plain, but its sophisticated like a university.
I saw in the guidebook that theres a big lake sowhere in the school. They say there are turtles in the lake.
How can turtles live in a lake? Maybe you mistook them for jellyfish?
His friends were the sa.
His friends didnt need to worry about which group to apply to.
Because Hayang was Alices direct descendant.
In fact, his friends were also nominated as scholarship recipients for the Alice Group.
The only difference between Eunha and them was that they had to go to the exam venue formally.
Of course, Hayang was an exception.
But it feels like I forgot sothing.
Eunha muttered while following his friends, who couldnt hide their excitent as they entered the Player Academy.
He felt like he had forgotten sothing.
Sothing seed to be missing.
A feeling of sothing important yet not so important.
Well, its not important, so I must have forgotten. Ill rember it soday, probably.
He decided to ignore it.
It probably wasnt anything important.
So it was fine to leave the feeling of forgetting soone in a corner.
No Eunha! Why arent you coming? What are you doing!? You know the way, so you should lead us! What are you doing!?
Captain! Hurry up!
Mukminji, you haa.
Minji, waving both hands, called from a distance.
Eunha headed towards the kids who were waiting in front of a large tree.
You can go slowly. We still have plenty of ti.
Its not a bad thing to arrive early for the appointnt. Were asking for favors from Euna unnie and her friends!
Thats right. They reserved a study room and a training ground for us, right? We shouldnt be late.
Minji, putting her hands on her hips, scolded.
And Seona gave a sarcastic remark, pointing her finger.
Eunha sighed.
What they said wasnt wrong, but there were still 30 minutes left until the appointnt ti.
There was no need to rush; they could arrive on ti without hurrying.
Got it. Lets go If we sweat in this heat while waiting, it wont be good.
Eunha grumbled and took the lead.
Today was the day when Euna and the others were preparing for the entrance exam to the Player Academy.
Euna, who called for
Ryu Yeon-hwa and Han Chang-jin, reserved the study room and training ground for the kids.
In principle, facilities couldnt be rented to non-Player Academy students.
But through the na
and sponsorship from the Sirius Group, Euna rented the facilities under the condition that Player Academy students would also use them.
Sponsorship was nice.
In a way, it was a debt that had to be repaid later, but there was no fixed date for repaynt.
The Player Academy is funded by donations from the Fairy Governnt, the Mana Managent Organization, and the conglorate groups.
Therefore, being sponsored by a Group ant that the benefits of the Player Academy were considerable.
Moreover, Euna was sponsored by both
and the Sirius Group.
It was a combination of fa, fortune, and power.
If those people from
are so amazing, No Eunha, make sure you dont show any resentnt towards them, okay?
My sister is , co on. Theyre not amazing people, just lucky ones
Eunha, lucky ones is a bit harsh, dont you think?
Why? Even though theres no obligation, people like
receive unbelievable benefits, right? Thats just how it is.
Thats because
Now, even Hayangs face blurred into the conversation.
He felt unjust.
To him, speaking the truth was the source of his grievance.
The image of
wasnt much different to the students of the Player Academy
secretly envied even though admired publicly.
It was then.
Oh? Theres Euna noona!
Eunhyuk exclaid as he spotted Euna waving in front of the training center.
Next to her were Yeon-hwa and Chang-jin. They were also waving after her.
Euna unnie got here first.
My sister she ca out so quickly.
Eunha tactfully avoided Minjis sharp eyes. The Euna he knew wasnt the type to co out this early.
Eunha! I missed you!
Sis, we saw each other at ho this morning.
So, you didnt miss ?
I missed you a lot.
My little brother is so cute!
Euna, who had been enjoying the breeze from the air conditioner inside the training center, ran over with her arms open.
She hugged Eunha tightly, not caring about the gazes around her.
A smiling Eunha patted her on the back.
Just then, Yeon-hwa and Chang-jin ca out of the training center.
By the way, sis isnt it too early for you to co out?
After practice, there was so ti left, and well, Yeon-hwa said we might be late for the appointnt, so we decided to wait.
You shouldve co out at least 10 minutes earlier.
Euna grumbled, puffing up her cheeks.
Yeon-hwa, who had co right up to them with Chang-jin on her back, defended herself.
Sorry, are you angry?
I might get angry if you dont hold my hand
Here.
Yeon-hwa, who was once known as the , smiled and extended her hand to Euna.
Euna took her hand and stood up, wrapping her arms around Yeon-hwa.
Now, it was a familiar sightYeon-hwa carrying Chang-jin on one side and embracing Euna with her other arm.
Well, Ryu Yeon-hwa was soone who was extrely punctual.
Ryu Yeon-hwa.
The Ryu Yeon-hwa that Eunha knew was a flawless person.
Even if the forces that had once made Ha Baek-ryeon into a puppet tried to tarnish her reputation, she remained spotless as ever, making even dust refuse to stick to her.
Indeed, there was no clean area comparable to her.
Yoo Do-jun, who had defended against the attacks aid at Ryu Yeon-hwa, had raised his hands and bowed his head in awe.
To think that theres a person from whom nothing can be extracted even if theyre shaken I feel like Ive lived my life wrong up to this point.
Even though Ive co this far, I dont think there can be a person who is as pure as she is This feels like Ive mislived my life.
Youre the complete opposite of her.
No Eunha, dont you like her too much? You and I may have changed our relationship, but you still have my support
You were the one who told
to use casual speech first.
No matter what, shouldnt you at least show so respect to the chairman of Eternal Group?
Fine.
Ryu Yeon-hwa was the polar opposite of Yoo Do-jun.
In the dark realm, Yoo Do-jun attacked his successors and delighted in using strange thods, yet the man who beca the chairman was fond of others finding him disreputable.
Hence, while trying to prevent attacks on Ryu Yeon-hwa, he had to give up on finding enough people to subordinate her.
On the other hand, this guy was great in a different way.
Hey, Eunha, how are you?
Yes, well
The weather is nice today, isnt it?
Its incredibly hot.
Oh? Uh, yeah
Yeon-hwa exchanged a glance but said nothing.
But Chang-jin, with a tense expression, approached deliberately, even initiating a conversation. His intentions were clear.
Eunha maintained his defensive wall.
How could soone like him be involved in all sorts of corruption
He still couldnt believe it.
It was hard to imagine Chang-jin, who appeared timid, had previously been the one connecting the underground market.
Before, he had been entangled in all kinds of corruption associated with the Fairy Governnt and the political circles.
Also, he had thoroughly investigated him to enhance the eloquence of Ha Baek-ryeon even slightly.
At that ti, he had to abandon his plans.
Ryu Yeon-hwa is a clean zone but even if we dig into Han Chang-jin, theres no end. It shouldnt have happened, but its better not to dig into him, Yoo Dojun said.
He continued, The mont we attack Han Chang-jin, the whole of South Korea will buzz with corruption.
The sweet potato vines are really long. Careless moves might turn even the groups still favoring the Fairy Administration into enemies.
The sa goes for the Eternal Group.
It was also connected to Han Chang-jin.
It was a shocking revelation.
No Eunhas insight.
What had happened to this person that made him untouchable in the dark realm?
How much would Teacher Baek Seo jin have panicked oh
Eunha stared at him with narrowed eyes.
His gaze had been uncomfortable.
Chang-jin pulled up the hood he had around his neck to cover his mouth, avoiding his gaze.
Eunha, is there sothing on my face?
No, not at all. Your face is surprisingly handso I knew you as a ruthless person who didnt hesitate to stain his hands with blood.
Uh, uh?
Eunha didnt respond to Chang-jins confusion.
He simply passed him and grabbed Eunas hand.
Lets go to the study room now!
Holding hands with Eunha and Yeon-hwa, his mood lifted dramatically.
He led the children to the study room like that.
Lets finish studying quickly and then go see the academy!
Yes!!!!
The goal for today wasnt just to prepare for the entrance exam; it was to explore the academy.
Simultaneously, it was an opportunity to foster friendships with Ryu Yeon-hwa and Han Chang-jin.
Since they were exchanging study tips between the Alice and Sirius groups, they didnt have to spend much ti studying theory.
Therefore, the lessons in the study room were light and fun.
Euna, Chang-jin, and Yeon-hwa ca to the whiteboard at regular intervals to talk about their experiences taking the entrance exam.
For the students who were used to just studying, it was an interesting story to listen to.
Ugh, Im so sleepy.
Of course, Eunha dozed off in the middle of Yeon-hwas lecture. It was because Yeon-hwa was explaining past exam questions she had analyzed for the students.
Ryu Yeon-hwa was that kind of person.
Infinitely serious.
So Eunha, while listening to the problem-solving session, accidentally bumped her head on the desk.
Are you sleepy too, sis?
Yeah, I am. Ive been at the academy practicing since this morning.
Resting her face on the desk felt refreshing.
Next to him, Euna was doing the sa, resting her face on her hands.
When their eyes t, both of them smiled.
The soothing tone of Ryu Yeon-hwas explanations made their eyelids droop.
Yeon-hwas voice is like a lullaby.
Yeah, it does sound like that.
What? What are you talking about? Pudding.
Euna, who was about to drift off into dreamland, burst into laughter with a soft pudding.
She tried to stifle her laughter by covering her mouth with her hand, but the desk shook unavoidably.
Pu, pudding, pu, pudding.
Eunha, stop!
Turning her head to the opposite side, she hit the desk with her fist, trying to stop her laughter.
In the end, she couldnt hold back her laughter.
No Euna, No Eunha. If you do this during class, youre disturbing the others.
S-Sorry.
Yeon-hwa sighed.
Euna managed to straighten her face and apologized to Yeon-hwa.
Yeon-hwa turned her head sharply, reminding one of a blooming blue hydrangea, and let out a sigh.
Ill explain it again, so listen carefully. Euna, Eunha, both of you, dont fall asleep.
Right. If I fall asleep again this ti
If you fall asleep again?
Noona might draw on my face.
!
Eunas face turned red.
Once again, she couldnt hold back her laughter.
Euna
Yeon-hwa frowned slightly.
After class, Euna had to make every effort to cheer her up.
Lets take a break for a while, and then well practice mana control in the training center.
The long theory class was over.
Euna clapped her hands to liven up the atmosphere.
When she said it was ti for break, the children relaxed and slumped down on their desks.
Yeon-hwas lesson had been so serious that they were quite tired.
Guys, its hot, right? Ill get so ice cream. Anyone want sothing to eat?
Eating sothing sweet was the perfect way to relax.
Han Chang-jin looked at the children slumped over their desks and asked, Anyone have a preference?
But the answer ca from right beside him.
Chang-jin! I want lona! Can you buy
lona?
Sure. Ill buy you lona.
Euna smiled brightly and asked, her mouth curving up to her ears.
For so reason, Eunha was in a mischievous mood.
Chang-jin hyung.
Yeah, Eunha. Just tell . Ill buy whatever you want.
Really?
Han Chang-jin said he would buy what he wanted.
Certainly.
Little did he know that Eunha was secretly scheming, almost like a devil.
How about a Baskin-Robbins milkshake?
Huh? A milkshake? Are they still selling that these days?
Well, probably. I think I saw it near my house.
He said, beating around the bush.
It was a lie.
Han Chang-jin, unaware of it, looked embarrassed.
If they dont have it, can I buy sothing else?
No, you cant.
Eunha was firm.
Han Chang-jins face stiffened.
His expression resembled that of the
Han Chang-jin he knew.
Ah, okay. Ill go around all the convenience stores near the academy, even if I have to Ill get you what you want to eat.
Yes, please. Take care not to let the ice cream lt.
Han Chang-jin acted quickly.
He took the childrens ice cream orders and left the study room like the wind.
If he hadnt boosted his mana, it would have been hard to keep up with him.
Wow, thats fast! Thats how good
is! Captain, I want to be
too .
Its not sothing anyone can do. And the reason he can run so fast is
Love makes you blind, thats it.
Eunha swallowed her words.
He looked over at Euna, who was happily chatting with the kids.
My sister is so popular, I wonder why there are so many pests around.
It was Lee Kang-hyuk, and Han Chang-jin.
None of them stood out as n worthy of her.
There are no good n in the world, so I have to live with my sister. Eunae too.
If Minji had heard, she would have frowned.
Siscon was a disease that went that far.
