After the Meeting
After Shin Jonghak threatened me, I started to leave the room. Yoo Yeonha stood still because her Gift was assessing the situation with calm thought. He'll probably think I'm wrong. Anyway, Shin Jonghak doesn't need to be hiding behind anymore I Taunt him so much today.
I believe you will most likely challenge Me in the semi-exams.
Yoo Yeonha POV
When Kim Hajin named the genie, I doubted the name because in the Academy Community, the probability of Yoo Hyun turning into a demon was very low. And Actually I didn't take the chance and I stayed fixed in my place. Later, Kim Horak and Shin Jonghak accused Kim Hajin of being Jinn, but the problem was that if he was a genie, he had the potential to kill one of us many times, and he didn't even need to do it many times. But His sudden appearance made him more likely to make a deal with a demon.
Then who Horak attacked him. But kim hajin suddenly turned around and grabbed his hand and threw him next to nShin Jonghak and Shin Jonghak Threaten Jonghak wanted to go after him but was stopped by Kim Suho. She then took her seat and tried to look at Chae nayu. But Chae Nayun replied to him quite angrily and left the room then shin Jonghak stayed in the room.
Shin Jonghak clicked his tongue and stood up. According to him, his action was justified. The website he was looking at was the famous Violet Banquet. However, Cube's students are banned from being members of this site. It wasn't just the Purple Feast. Having any black market ID was enough to kick a student out of school.
However, her indifferent attitude hurt Yoo Yeonha's feelings.
"Kim Horak, aren't you coming?"
"Huh? Ah, yes."
Looking at Yoo Yeonha's face, Kim Horak followed Shin Jonghak like a puppy.
That's right, Yoo Yeonha was left alone. He looked at the empty room. Anger suddenly rose in his heart. It wasn't the first time something like this had happened. He was starting to get upset now.
As Yoo Yeonha was about to go after Shin Jonghak, her smartwatch vibrated.
It was a message from Yun Hyun.
—Next Monday there will be a preparatory exam. You're coming, aren't you?
Club activities stalled during exam periods, but the academics club offered peer education during this time.
Yoo Yeonha started typing but suddenly remembered what Kim Hajin had said. The culprit of this incident was Yun Hyun...
"There is no possibility of such a thing"
Yoo Yeonha once again rejected this idea and sent her reply.
21:00… I was sitting on a bench. I've already chased down Kim Suho and Yi Yeonghan, who were following me to comfort me. Then Chae Nayun came after me. And he started asking me questions all the time.
After struggling with him for a while, I was finally alone.
For a moment I remembered my past life in my mind. Then a thought of Real Kim Hajin crossed my mind.
Dreaming of stars in a starless world only filled me with anguish.
"There are exams next week, starting with the written exams. Next week will be the fighting exams. But remember I always say, the written exams are just as important as the fighting exams."
...........
Today was Monday. The professor deliberately spoke in a serious tone. As he said, the midterm exams would start in a week.
I was a little worried too.
Of course, I had nothing to worry about in the written exams, but the problem was in the war exams.
In duels, cadets fought each other in one-on-one combat. In monster battles, cadets fought imaginary monsters summoned by wizards instead of mana puppets.
The cadets showed no mercy in duels to maximize their points earned, and the monsters summoned in monster battles were in an entirely different league than mana puppets. In a way, they were no different from "real" monsters.
It was Kim Hajin Vs Kim Horak in the novel but I started to wonder who I would fight this time. Most likely I will fight Shin Jonghak this time. I will most likely win. But I'm going to get more attention in this but that just means More Sp.
But there was something bigger right now Rachel was sitting directly next to me.
He always sat alone at the back of the class, but since the results of the Phenomenal Realm Analysis exam had been announced, he had been sitting close to me and now he was sitting next to me.
Anyway, it would be better for me if I wait for him to approach me and ask questions.
"Good luck with your exams next week. The results will be published for all to see, so don't embarrass yourself."
The professor left after reminding the students.
Then Rachel came to me and wanted to give me the notebook. I refused it because I didn't even need that notebook.
"You can keep the notebook. I already know all of them. That's why I don't have a problem"
"Really thank you"
Shin Jonghak and Chae Nayun's greeting was just a courtesy. Yoo Yeonha bit her lips and left the classroom. I stuffed my laptop and writing utensils into my bag and walked out the back door.
I immediately ran into Yoo Yeonha. He had to go left to go home, but for some reason he chose the opposite direction.
We looked at each other helplessly.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"...Home."
As I said before, this was not the way home.
But I didn't want to continue talking to him.
"I understand."
Yoo Yeonha didn't say anything else either.
He just bowed a little and walked past me.
Yoo Yeonha opened the club room door. The club room looked no different than usual, but the empty room gave off a slight chill. The only person inside was Yun Hyun, who was reading a book on the teaching platform.
Yoo Yeonha lowered her head. Where was everyone else?
At that moment, Yun Hyun noticed Yoo Yeonha and went over to him.
"You are here?"
"…Yes."
"Come sit down."
Yoo Yeonha just sat down for now. The fact that no one was around made him a little nervous, but he soon calmed down. It was probably thanks to Yun Hyun. For some reason, the scent Yun Hyun emitted was calming and comforting, so Yoo Yeonha could always relax in front of him.
"Where did everyone go?"
"They're coming soon. That's right, Yeonha, I heard you're joining the team."
"Set?"
"You know, the Djinn investigation team. I'm a second-year representative too."
Yun Hyun's voice was clear and determined. At least that's how Yoo Yeonha felt.
"Really?"
As expected, Kim Hajin's suspicion was complete nonsense.
"But we haven't made any progress. Do you have any leads? Any suspects?"
"No not yet."
"Really? So you haven't made any progress either?"
Yun Hyun asked slowly. Yoo Yeonha thought about her gentle speaking style for a moment. To go forward. There wasn't any. The meeting broke up with nothing.
"Mm... Someone said something but it was stupid."
"Is he stupid? Now I wonder what happened."
Yun Hyun leaned against the table where Yoo Yeonha was sitting and placed a scented candle on it.
"What's this?"
"A scented candle. It helps when studying later. Anyway, what did this person say?"
Yun Hyun asked with a gentle smile on his face. Yoo Yeonha sniffed the scented candle. It was aromatic and gentle. His body relaxed and the tiredness of the day seemed to pass.
"Tell me."
"It's nothing, really."
Yoo Yeonha smiled.
"Someone said you were a Djinn. He said you could use some kind of mental magic. Nonsense, right?"
After Yoo Yeonha answered, she sniffed the scented candle once more. The wonderful scent was almost addictive. He didn't see Yun Hyun's face as he focused on the scented candle.
"…do you have proof?"
"NO…?"
At that moment, Yoo Yeonha was suddenly stunned. The tension in his body increased once again. He turned his head towards Yun Hyun and looked at him.
Most innocent people do not ask if there is evidence when they are suspected. At least not as a first question.
After all, there can be no evidence against someone who has not committed a crime.
"Oops, I was wrong. What a funny kid. On what basis does he call me Djinn?"
Yun Hyun realized his mistake and immediately corrected it. But it's too late. Yoo Yeonha stepped back, took her whip from her back pocket and pointed it at Yun Hyun.
"Who are you?"
"...What's the matter, Yeonha?"
Yunhyun smiled.
The gentle curve of his eyes and lips quickly twisted mercilessly.
"It's not your turn yet."
