chapter 213 Building a Castle(1)

[Rocky The Anvil of the heyday seems to be coming back slowly? Im serious about whats coming out these days.]

[Miyang Anvils armaments, yet Im the only one withoutone]

[Tsukuyo Rather, it developed directly. Thats why you dont have the eyes to see it properly.]

[Horus Wasnt it okay with the post about receiving a request?]

[Super Ultra Galaxy Fist Heh, Im making mine right now.]

[Eunah Check.]

[Rocky Damn it, what kind of check is it?!]

[Halo Janus, its not too late to comeback.]

-You received a delivery power buff as a login bonus for the day! For 48 hours, every action will be better communicated!

Ah. Kang Shin-hyuk didnt forget to note down every time a new bonus came out. A delivery power buff. Honestly, he wasnt sure what it was, but it had to be meaningful as a new type of buff.

If I had a lot of time, I would explore it in depth On December 22nd, the closing ceremony for Shinyoungs second semester was held. It was holding the closing ceremony in time, and the graduation ceremony would be held in February. He couldnt be left out there, but he didnt want to go.

The other kids seem reluctant too. Shinyoungs second semester of education had been much different due to the events that had taken place since summer. As most of the subjects had been replaced with actual practice, Shinyoungs intra-campus ranking was mostly influenced by their performance in dealing with gates. Because the duel was a random matching form, Kang Shin-hyuk couldnt pass Baek In-ha and ranked second in the first grade. Karen had ranked fifth, and Do Woojin had surprisingly ranked third after beating out other prominent students. Except for Kang Shin-hyuk, no other student had experienced such dramatic growth. Although Shin-hyuks on-campus ranking was second since he had scored a perfect score in the writing classes, this years chief was confirmed to be KangShin-hyuk.

Honestly, Im not very happy about it. Although it wasnt a good semester for acquiring the knowledge a superhuman should have, this years freshmen were at a record level when it came to simple combat skills. However, it was of little significance to Kang Shin-hyuk. Even without considering the Hero Universe, he had just cleared an SS-level gate as a part of Masked Bacchus just a week ago.

But Shinyoungs diploma is still important. The personal connections he could accumulate until graduation were also a necessary form of wealth.

Then, letsgo.

-This admin thinks it would be best not to appear in front of people until the buff expires.

It was a debuff, not a buff?

-No, but it wont hurt you.

Leaving the room, Baek In-ha was waiting for him.

Uh.

Uh. The two walked together after grunting out a brief greeting, and at this time, Baek chose to speakup.

Shinyuk.

Yeah?

Can I ask you for something? They arrived at the elevator. Kang Shin-hyuk was suspicious that he had been aiming for another one of the orbs.

Youre not satisfied with the Shinfeng orb?

No, Im using it all the time.

Then, whats your request? Baek scratched his head and cautiously responded at Kang Shin-hyuksbluntness.

Im thinking of talking toHye-na.

No. No, dont. Kang Shin-hyuk opened his eyes and recalled what had happened a week ago. He had met with Oh Hye-na, who ran to the gate after chasing him down, the man who killed her father. She cried and ran away after gaining the attention of Shin Eunah and Claire after Red Shoes pointed her out. No, he couldnt understand what she was feeling. Kang Shin-hyuk had killed her father but also saved her, so perhaps she wasnt sure how to treat him. The problem was that Bridget Poulsen, who saw that scene, bugged Kang Shin-hyuk and asked if she had been right.

Do you know my feelings? Since then, Ive suffered from Bridget so much.

Isnt it a reward for a woman like that to botheryou?

So, what do you know about Oh Hye-na? The elevator arrived. They planned on discussing it further as they got on, but Eleanor and Karen showed up and boarded before they could.

Hello.

Good morning

Ah, its Shin-hyuk! Youre the chief! Eleanor waved shyly at Kang Shin-hyuk while Karen ran right in and jabbed his side. He pushed her towards Eleanor as he responded.

Theres no such thing. Ill end up with some scholarships nextyear.

Wow, Shin-hyuk has a lot of money now, but that doesnt mean anything you said you received 4 million pounds in settling the lastrequest?

I really cant tell Na-heeanything.

Ah?

And dont say it in pounds. He turned to Eleanor.

What are your plans during winter vacation?

Im free.

Yeah? Youre not going back toEngland?

Im free, Eleanor repeated herself in the exact same tone.

I wont go back until I graduate. So special training, can we do it together again?

Ah, yeah, sure. Just let me know more than a week ahead oftime.

Then, lets decide now.

No, wait a second. Baek In-ha moved in-between them.

Before you go out with Eleanor, lets meet Hye-na for a bit,really.

Hye-na?

But, adate

So, what do you have to do with her? Karens ears pricked up at the name of this unknown woman, and Eleanor blushed at the word date. Kang Shin-hyuk let out a sigh as he ignored the two of them and looked at Baek.

Ive known her since we were kids.

Promoting friendship between the 1st and 2nd Koreanguilds?

Similar to that. I havent talked to her since that happened, but the last time I got intouch

What are you talking about? She doesnt know youre in Masked Bacchus.

I dont know what youre talking about?

What?

Shh. Eleanor, realizing that it was a serious discussion, cracked down on Karen, who couldnt control herself, and moved closer to Shin-hyuk. The elevator stopped at the ground floor, and they all got off chatting.

But why are you suddenly calling me?

Its simple. She recognized you because of your sword. She watched the rookie games this year from start to finish.

It wasnt because you called my name back then?

No Though now Baek looked a little embarrassed.

Think about it from my position. Besides, can you tell me she was there at that time?

Why are you looking at me with those eyes?

No, its a new sight. Kang Shin-hyuk scratched the goosebumps on hisarms.

Well, shes like asister.

Its because I killed Oh Joo-young if only I could give that responsibility to someone else.

It wouldnt have been possible if not for you. They arrived in front of the first-year classroom. Eleanor wanted to remain for a little more, but she eventually had to leave with a regret-filled sigh.

Why has she been doing that?

Isnt it because youre only talking about other girls?

-It is because of the power of transmission.

Instead of Karen, who was unhelpful, the administrator chimed in with a detailed explanation.

-Transmitting power is the ability to effectively communicate all of ones actions to the other person while attracting others attention. If the other is likable, then that likability is maximized, and if it is a state ofhatred

Oh, I understand. Was that why the administrator told him to stay inside? Somehow, from the start with Baek, he had thought everyone was in a strangemood.

Oh, its the chief.

Kang Shin-hyuk!

Pick Lee Na-hee or Algiers, that one of them can be free to date!

Neither!

Now, everyone sit down. Siara Bertrand came in to quiet the noisy classroom down. Kang Shin-hyuk sat down, ignoring the teachers smile at him, and quietly spoke to Baek.

What will I do when we meet?

Tell her why you had to kill him.

Then shell be okay with me? Yeah, right. He felt his anger flaring up.

Oh, then, just let her beat you up.

Okay, lets do it.?

What? Kang Shin-hyuk laughed as he flicked Baeks forehead.

Once I get beaten a little, shell be relieved too.

No, a pervert?

So, when? He accepted Baeks proposal as he had no way of avoiding the girl who would become his junior next year.

This afternoon. However, he hadnt expected it to be that quick.

This afternoon?

Now, before the closing ceremony, there will be an award ceremony for Kang Shin-hyuk, who won first place among the firstyears!

He made it!

OMG!
