Chapter 107 - How to Welcome the New Semester (4)
“Giant robots are a girl’s dream!”
“Wouldn’t GunX be cool!”
“Hahahaha! Is that why you did this?”
The current invention duo was in shambles, yet somehow they were reconstructed and stood in front of the teachers.
The teachers seemed to want to scold the invention duo, but Yggdrasil was standing in front of them, laughing cheerfully and listening to them, so that didn’t seem easy either.
“Ah, but Miss Yggdrasil! We made an artificial core, and unlike the normal natural cores, it doesn’t have the anti-factor, which causes a rejection reaction when transplanted to a monster or a different species other than the owner. So, can we try testing it—”
“Can you?!”
“You’re transplanting cores into monsters?”
“There aren’t many teams that experiment with monsters! Let us!”
“They went through the proper procedures and got permission! They’re only experimenting with weak monsters!”
“Look at the accident you guys had today!”
Even in the midst of their tantrums, the inventor duo requested permission to conduct a monster-related experiment, but were met with fierce opposition.
Yggdrasil, who had been giggling as if he was watching a comedy show, soon clapped her hands to focus their attention.
“Stop! I know the situation well. I know how passionate and foolish you are!”
Yggdrasil’s words, which were both reproachful and strangely benevolent, made the other teachers flinch, sensing something ominous.
“Even if we try to stop them, they’ll do it secretly anyway, so let’s give them permission!”
“Miss Yggdrasil?”
“Even if it’s Miss Yggdrasil, this is!”
“Shut up! Shouldn’t the teachers just keep an eye on it? If you think about it, it’s the teachers’ fault for not even detecting that such a huge object was being made in the basement of the school!”
Yggdrasil shouted at the teachers, cursing them.
“Everyone, gather at the training center tonight! I’ll train you myself after a long time!”
The teachers’ faces turned pale at those words.
…It seems that even the teachers find Yggdrasil’s training difficult.
“Now, wait a minute—”
“Miss Yggdrasil…?”
“How long has it been since we graduated?”
“Do I know that? Weakness is weakness!”
The topic soon turned to avoiding Yggdrasil’s training.
I shook my head as I watched the situation.
Kangyoo grabbed my hand and tilted his head.
“Are we done?”
“I think so. Should we go back?”
“Yeah!”
Kangyoo and I, who had come to the teachers’ office briefly as witnesses for the incident, sneaked out of the office while checking the teachers’ reactions.
Since class was in progress, the only sound we could hear was our footsteps as we walked in the empty hallway.
When we almost reached the classroom, the bell signaling recess rang. As soon as I opened the classroom door and entered, all my classmates ran out and surrounded Kangyoo as if they had been waiting for this moment.
“I heard you defeated a robot that even the teachers couldn’t defeat?”
“They said there was a heart-pounding fight?”
“Who used the incredible water magic we saw earlier? The transfer student?”
“Me! I used it! The Master knocked it down, and I prevented the explosion!”
Kangyoo answered confidently amidst the barrage of questions. Then, he quickly mingled with the children and began to chat about various things.
The children seemed to really like Kangyoo, who was bright and lively but still looked young.
Right. Isn’t my little brother cute?
I smiled happily.
Before I knew it, Choi Soojung came up to me and put her arm around my shoulder. Lee Hana, who came up with me, handed me her notebook.
“You worked hard, junior!”
“Here, your notebook. Use it for the classes you missed.”
“Ah, seniors!”
In addition to the two seniors, all my club friends came over and surrounded me naturally.
When I glanced across the classroom, Kangyoo seemed to be getting along well with the other students. I felt relieved and turned my attention to my friends.
“It seems like your family is getting along well…! I’m jealous, I wish I had siblings too.”
“That’s right! But Miss Jaeyoon, not all siblings get along as well as Nahyun and Kangyoo.”
“Well, that’s true…”
I couldn’t help but quietly agree with Na Yuri’s words. It was even more convincing because she said it.
I smiled at Na Yuhan, who was slyly trying to ignore that.
“What are you doing, Sister?”
Kangyoo, who had finished talking to the other kids, came over and stuck his head out.
Park Siwoo spoke to him indifferently.
“I heard that you and your big sister are really close.”
“That’s right! We’re really close! I bet Sister likes me the most in the world, you know?”
Kangyoo puffed out his chest as if he was proud of something.
“Kangyoo…”
I felt slightly embarrassed by that overt appeal.
Choi Soojung, who had been watching with interest, sniffed and snorted, suddenly remembered something and asked with a playful smile.
“Then what would happen if your sister had a lover? If she had a lover, that person would definitely be her top priority!”
“Sister?”
“…A lover?”
Why would you suddenly ask that question?
I thought it was pointless, yet Kangyoo seemed to have taken it seriously.
“Um… If she likes him, then there’s nothing I can do, but he has to be a cool person! He has to be stronger than me!”
“Does he have to be strong?”
“Yeah! That way he won’t be a burden to Sister!”
“Well, I think I would be against it if Sister brought someone strange with her…”
Shin Baran nodded as if she agreed after asking why.
Choi Soojung, who had heard Kangyoo’s answer, snickered and hit Na Yuhan on the back.
“Hmm, hmm. That’s right~ You should cheer up, Junior! I’ll cheer you on!”
“W-What are you cheering for?”
“Don’t you know?”
Choi Soojung often showed her mischievous side by linking me and Na Yuhan together.
Even now, isn’t she smiling mischievously, wanting to tease people?
Na Yuhan seemed completely incapable of this type of prank, and just stood there with a blush on his face.
“…Personally, I don’t think Yuhan suits Miss Nahyun, though?”
Na Yuri broke the mood.
She hugged me tightly as if she couldn’t let me be taken away.
“I’d rather live with you, Miss Nahyun!”
“Should we?”
Living with Na Yuri. That might not be bad. I giggled and replied.
At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly came in.
“What about me?”
When I turned my eyes, I saw sapphire blue eyes. Park Siwoo, who casually asked a question that seemed like a joke or not, was looking at me.
Living with Park Siwoo… We have good chemistry and can communicate well…
“Maybe it’s not bad?”
“I guess so. I’m happy.”
Park Siwoo smiled slightly.
And then quickly changed the subject as if it was nothing special.
“Kangyoo, right. We always train together after school. Your sister also trains with us. Do you want to join us?”
“Yeah! I want to! Let me!”
“I see. Then how about we do a warm-up and sparring today?”
“Well, alright. Let’s ask Miss Yggdrasil to let us use the sparring room.”
Na Yuhan expressed his agreement, and the other kids agreed without disagreement.
“I think it would be good to see if we can do a joint attack.”
Lee Hana said while looking at Kangyoo. Since it was a combination of water and ice magic, if the two worked together, it would definitely be a more powerful attack. Lee Hana seemed to be interested in that too.
…Yggdrasil wouldn’t miss out on such chemistry. The harsh future of the two of them came to mind and I almost wiped away my tears.
“Can I spar with you?”
“I’d love to!”
After Park Siwoo requested Kangyoo to spar, the bell rang to end break.
Since it was the first day of school, we would only have theory classes in the morning and then we would be done.
So after class, it was lunch time.
We naturally went to a restaurant near the school and had lunch together and talked.
“Sir Yuhan. Please give me some sauce.”
“Ah, mmhm.”
Na Yuri seemed to have completely redefined her title for Na Yuhan.
The others seemed puzzled by the fact that the two of them had become somewhat familiar, but they seemed to be thankful that they didn’t clash as seriously as before.
After lunch, we had to go to the training ground with Yggdrasil, but…
Yggdrasil
[I have business! I’ll go later, so go first! I’ll go right away!]
Yggdrasil
[Ah, I have someone I can introduce to you, I’ll show you that guy soon!]
Yggdrasil
[I’ve given permission to use the training room, so feel free to use it!]
…We decided to go first because something happened to Yggdrasil.
The training room was completely empty, as if no one was planning to use it from the first day of school.
We reserved a training room inside the training room and went inside.
Min Jaeyoon and Shin Baran said while checking their weapons.
“I wonder how much stronger you’ve become during the vacation…!”
“I worked hard. I won’t lose!”
It definitely seemed like everyone had been training during the vacation, and their spirits were different.
Na Yuhan… Since he’s Na Yuhan, well.
“The first training… is it Kangyoo and Park Siwoo?”
Na Yuhan decided to be the referee since his stats made it difficult for him to fight other kids directly.
He said with a sarcastic smile.
“Kangyoo, stay strong.”
“You don’t have to say anything, I’ll do it!”
He was strangely irritated. The reason he had been twitching at Na Yuhan the most was probably because Choi Soojung had teased us.
He doesn’t have to be so vigilant, though. Anyway, he’s quite jealous.
I often shook my head at Kangyoo’s behavior, who was often teased as a siscon.
“Now, then…”
Na Yuhan raised one arm high, then lowered it and shouted.
“Start!”
And then, the two men immediately clashed fiercely.
