Chapter 317: Train to Bu San

The next day, we were all gathered on board a bullet train. On the way there, we heard a lot of sirens in the distance, which stuck me with some sort of foreboding. I tried to shake off a premonition from my spine, but almost couldn't.

Perhaps it was early in the morning, which explained why the platform was so empty. Aside from us ten students, there were very few passengers. A couple of old ladies, one of whom was peeling a hard-boiled egg for some reason. A father and daughter, the former who was speaking rapidly into his smartphone while his daughter looked around, bored. A bearded man who looked like an ex-boxer, and his heavily pregnant wife. A business CEO guy with a stiff expression and in a suit. One of the other carriages was taken up by students from an entire school. Unlike us, they weren't combat mages. Instead, the guys seemed to be from a baseball team, and the girls were cheerleaders. They were probably participating in a regional baseball tournament.
