Time

"This should be the last one, for now"

Eun-woo was at a classroom alone as he crushed one of the last dark serpents, it took him half of the day to clear everything he then stretched his body and yawned, he looked at the time and saw it was already late.

"I wonder what would have happened if I was low key and didn't have all these advantages"

"One would probably think you're a creep and pervert"

Luxuria manifested in front of him as she crossed her arms and looked at him straight in the eye.

"Out with it, how do you know about those dark serpents and how do you know how to deal with them?"

"Intuition? My father always told me stories about the demons so when I sensed something wasn't right I immediately tried to find this weird feeling and I guess that's about it?"

Luxuria accepted it for now and didn't say anything as she dissipated leaving Eun-woo alone. Eun-woo didn't mind it but he also knew there were some secrets that were best left alone and that only he should know about where some of his knowledge had come from.

He then left the classroom as he was walking back to the dorm he saw Lee Jun-ho and Eric trying to break open the door Zhao Yi was locked in, he and Lee Jun-ho locked eyes, Eun-woo rolled his eyes and went near them.

Eric noticed Eun-woo was coming and looked at Lee Jun-ho, he noticed something was amiss, Cha Eunha was about to say something and tried blocking Eun-woo's path as if she was trying to stop a fight before it happened

"Move"

Cha Eunha didn't move and stayed still, Lee Jun-ho tapped her shoulder and slowly moved her as well and followed what Eun-woo said, Eun-woo then manifested a dark gauntlet and busted the door wide open, as soon as the door was open they saw Zhao Yi on the ground collapsed.

"He's claustrophobic, he'll be fine"

Eun-woo then left leaving them behind as Cha Eunha and Eric rushed to Zhao Yi's side.

-

"Isn't it scary?"

"What is?"

Cha Eunha asked Lee Jun-ho as Eric was carrying Zhao Yi on his back.

"That he knows even Zhao Yi's fears"

"He would be stupid if he didn't know, besides I got a feeling he's the one who locked him inside"

"Are you gonna do something about it?"

Eric asked Lee Jun-ho as Zhao Yi was fast asleep and Fan Mei wasn't around.

"It's not that serious its just petty revenge and somewhat a lesson for Zhao Yi, I'd be more surprised if he didn't retaliate in some way besides for me this confirms he still treats us as acquaintances since he bothered to lock him up for who knows how many hours"

"I mean he and Sowon doesn't show much emotion other than when they're together with their group, to be honest they're the weirdest group but at the same time they're the scariest"

Eric raised his eyebrows as he was in a different class and didn't know what they do on a regular basis.

"Why what's wrong with their group?"

"Even without Eun-woo for a month they hold the record for fastest clears in a simulated dungeon raid with just the four of them now Imagine if Eun-woo was there?"

"I can't even imagine taking a hit from him seeing how he went to toe to toe with Professor Hyori"

"Now You know why they're the scariest group at the same time they're our goal, our goal is to be better than them as a team or at the least be near to the level they are, the four of them have already cleared every simulated dungeon raid for first years and I want us to do the same and improve our chemistry further."

"Then we'll do our best!"

"By the way do you guys know where Mei Mei is?"

-

"I didn't expect you to be here"

Ono Hayami was at 'Serene Hunter' a gun shop dedicated for female gunners, she was surprised to see Fan Mei look at a selection of guns from the wall while she was here to stock up on bullets since Eun-woo had told them to get ready for next week.

"I didn't even expect that a day would come when I would contemplate on whether i should be buying a gun."

Fan Mei went near Ono Hayami as she didn't know what she was doing and what to select.

"Judging from your background and the way you handle a bow, well I don't know how fast you learn but I suggest you try and learn how to use a pistol."

"A pistol?"

"Mm, of course if you're confident and have lots of Utopia coins to spend then you can just buy what you want to specialize in and learn from there."

"A pistol it is then"

"Then buy one"

Fan Mei just looked at Ono Hayami, after an awkward silence Ono Hayami rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Follow me then"

Fan Mei followed her, she saw Ono Hayami talking to a clerk who nodded at her words then brought a briefcase, she saw that there were neatly decorated hand guns and some had even mana crystals imbued in them, Ono Hayami then took out a normal looking one, one where she saw that the actors use on television.

"What's this?"

"It's a normal handgun, there's nothing special on it take it, it's a gift from me besides there's nothing different from a normal handgun and a one with mana crystals I suggest you buy the normal ones first since they're much cheaper."

"Tha-thanks!"

Fan Mei bowed as Ono Hayami waved her off as she continued talking to the clerk.

"Here is what Sir Park Eun-woo ordered and it was fully customized to for you according to his specifications"

The Clerk then brought out a long briefcase that contained a golden sniper rifled with Luxuria's crest on its handle, the briefcase contained mana crystals as well as a few bullets and a scope.

Ono Hayami looked at it and immediately closed, she then looked at Fan Mei who was looking at the briefcase on her hand.

"No, buy your own"

"Can you teach me?"

"My current schedule is already swamped and I don't have much free time either unless you want me to die of exhaustion then"

"I get it, I'll learn it next time and when we meet again I'll make sure you're the one whose paralyzed down on the ground"

"If only it was that easy to be a marksman then there would be tons of them but hey be my guest, see you around Fan Mei"

Fan Mei waved back at Ono Hayami as she looked at the pistol on her hand it was nothing special she knew it, it was an old G68 model but she didn't mind.

"Excuse me miss are you gonna buy the ammo for that or?"

The Clerk noticed that Ono Hayami had only paid for the gun but not for the ammunition.

"Yeah, how much is it?"

The Clerk smiled and brought out a box full of it.

"Since it's an old model and there aren't any people manufacturing anymore of its ammo's so it's gonna cost you five hundred Utopia coins per box and we're currently the only ones who have the last supply."

Fan Mei wanted to immediately puke at the price as it was far from her budget as she thought it was a cheap handgun since Ono Hayami casually picked it up for her.

"Since you're acquainted with Ms. Hayami we'll give you a discount together with your first purchase so the total for now would be two hundred and fifty utopia coins!"

Fan Mei begrudgingly took out her wallet and paid for one box which contained a total of a hundred-twenty bullets

"Pleasure doing business with you Young Miss and may your bullet find its way!"

"Thanks I guess"

Fan Mei nodded and left as she was left with half of her monthly allowance.

-

"We're leaving the academy?"

Ling Shu asked Eun-woo as Sowon was packing her bags and Snow on Eun-woo's laps.

"Of course it's only for a week, we'll be gone by next week I still have yet to gain permission so I suggest you start packing"

"Where are we going anyway?"

"Oh You'll all be surprised, I just hope everyone of you can stomach it besides its better if we learn it now"

Ling Shu was confused along with Sowon as the both of them didn't know what Eun-woo meant, they could only guess.

"I don't want you guys to freeze up in the future and I think this is the best way and this is the only way."

Eun-woo looked at the both of them and closed his eyes as a he remembered one event before he started at the academy one that has haunted him still to this day but he knew he should be better than that.

"Anyway it's only going to take us a day and we'll get six days of rest."

"What kind of training is that!?"

"You'll see, now go and pack!"

Snow barked at Ling Shu also as Eun-woo patted its head, it then jumped towards Sowon.

"Well I guess we should bring Snow as well but I'll let Noona take care of Snow for awhile."
