Chapter 56: Kaina Lightley.
Kaina Lightley.
She called Maze College’s noble, and she was a famous woman outside as well as at Round Academy.
From the walk to each simple gesture, elegant and faintly wet eyes make viewers feel love.
Some even said that Kaina’s voice, which is not often heard, was shaking their soul, which led to rumors that famous Hunter and Crown Prince showed interest in her.
Maybe because of such excessive interest, Kaina stayed only in her room except for the classes she needed, but there was a moment when she showed herself only once a day.
Click.
The early morning when the sun is about to rise.
The window of Kaina’s room opened, and in the chair in front of her, she looked out quietly with a blanket on her shoulder.
Kaina looks out for about 10 minutes every morning when the sun rises.
With its beautiful and pathetic appearance, both men and women of all ages watched with a bewitched look.
Squeak.
As time passed, Kaina disappeared closing the window, and those who were hiding looked sad.
“Ah…… only if I could have seen a little more…….”
“I wish to talk to her once…….”
“I want to hold her hand.”
Beauty and atmosphere can be expressed only by the word “magic.” That’s the noble lady named Kaina Lightley.
“What’s going on here?!”
Clink!
It was her mask that threw a teacup into a person’s face.
“How…… How could you not even show yourself for three days! How the hell did you handle this?!”
Kaina threw things out as soon as she got hold of something, and Andrew, who was sitting on his knees on the floor, was beaten with his head down.
“Sorry, I’m sorry. Please forgive me…….”
“Forgive? Forgive when you haven’t even settled your affairs yet!”
“It’s not…….”
“You useless…… Whoo. Whoo.….”
Kaina, who was about to run right away, stopped walking, and soon stared at Andrew with a light breath.
“You know how much we’ve invested in working on this project?”
“Of, of course. Of course, I know.
To find the right person for Mana Sword Perceval and to dazzle him, they even hid in Round Academy, one of the main enemy bases.
It is in the form of simultaneous progress with other projects, but the fact that failure is a loss has not changed.
“But why did it went like this? Stop making excuses and explain it to me. Explain why Trua doesn’t come to see me and visits the outsider every day!”
“…….”
Andrew sweated a cold sweat because of Kaina’s anger.
An answer like ‘He lost in a battle and suddenly became like that’ doesn’t work. Andrew, who squeezed his head out, looked at Kaina and carefully continued the story.
“Isn’t he…… isn’t it like that his desire to win stimulated?”
“The desire to win?”
“Yes, sir Trua is a knight, so he’s motivated to win…….”
“So you’re saying I’m no better than a fight with an outsider?”
Andrew’s face hardened by Kaina’s cold voice. He realized that his hard-picked answer was wrong.
“You don’t answer?”
Kaina staring with a cold expression. Andrew muttered softly when he saw the figure.
“Son of a bitch.”

“Hmm…?”
Kang Yoo-sik, who touched his ears with a strange tickling sensation, looked back.
Recently, this feeling has been felt frequently, making him wonder if even a phantom monster has stuck.
‘Well…… it’s not the time for it to come out. Even if there is, it won’t end this much.’
Kang Yoo-sik looked forward again, thinking that someone would be cursing at him.
“pant…pant….”
Trua was sprawling and breathing heavily.
‘What the hell…’
Looking up at the ceiling, Trua simply couldn’t understand the current situation.
The day of defeat by Kang Yoo-sik. Trua was indescribable, no, just resentful, and couldn’t sleep properly.
If I did this, I would have won, but if I did that, I wouldn’t have been wasted. He couldn’t sleep at all because he thought about the battle situation endlessly.
‘One more time… If we fight one more time…….’
A feeling of self-blaming. And the spirit of struggle for Kang Yoo-sik. The next morning, after being swayed by those two emotions.
Normally, Trua should have stepped up to see Lady Kaina he adores, but he didn’t.
‘Lady…… Please wait a little longer.’
To keep his promise to keep her, and for her honor, he must leave her side for a while now.
Thinking that way, Trua went to a luxury hotel in the suburbs, which he had heard through Heinz, the dean of magic.
“Hmm. You wanna fight again?”
Kang Yoo-sik greeted him with a smile when he visited me.
At the question, Trua nodded straight away, and Kang Yoo-sik looked at the messy room seen through the gap in the open door.
“I’m busy preparing for the upcoming finals…… I’ve been preparing all night for months, and it’s a big deal if I make a mistake…….”
His expression and voice make the listeners feel guilty. Trua felt sorry for it and tried to go back, but Kang Yoo-sik replied as if he couldn’t help it.
“I’ll give you just one round. And like I said, It’s not free.”
He didn’t know what to ask for, but Trua nodded without hesitation. More than anything else, it was important to win the match against Kang Yoo-sik now.
Defending yourself and Lady’s honor and going back proudly. Today is the third day that he has been heading to the battle hall with such a heart.
“You lose every time.”
Unlike him, Kang Yoo-sik is relatively fresh.
Trua asked hard in a situation where it was overwhelming.
“How come am I losing……?”
It could have seemed ugly not to accept the results, but Trua had no choice but to ask so.
He was obviously above himself, and he did his best without giving up on players.
However, every time he fights, there are attacks that catch him off guard one after another, and he ends up collapsing like he did at first.
Kang Yoo-sik answered simply when Trua made an incomprehensible look at the ending no matter how hard he thought.
“Of course, because of not enough experience.”
“Not enough experience…?”
“Have you ever fought a wizard?”
“…….”
When asked by Kang Yoo-sik, Trua looked caught off guard.
Although Knight College and Maze College were hostile to each other, they held regular exchange meetings under the pretext of improving their skills.
However, Trua did not participate in the exchange meeting very well, and despite the differences in skills, he was disgusted by the atmosphere that seemed to hate and look down on each other even though they were alumni.
“You’ve fought, but it was either a low-level wizard, or it was equally inexperienced. Don’t try to make too good an excuse when asked why you lost.”
Kang Yoo-sik, who came close to him, crouched down and tapped Trua’s chest armor with his fist.
“Just lack of practice and ability. These two things. Do you understand?”
“……yes.”
Trua nodded his head with a slightly subdued look, and Ban Hye-young shouted at the entrance of the battle hall.
“Yoo-sik, let’s stop there and go back. Aren’t you going to prepare for the finals?”
“Oh, yes.”
Standing up from his seat, Kang Yoo-sik suddenly smiled bitterly at Trua.
But you`re more competitive than I thought. You keep coming to me when I say I’m busy.….”
“Sorry, I’m sorry…….”
“Well, I’m accepting it because I think it’s okay, but……but don’t forget that, okay?”
Kang Yoo-sik looked down at Trua and smirked.
“You owe me one.”
[The debtor ‘Donatien de Trua’’s debt increases.]
[The debtor ‘Donatien de Trua’ rises to class D. The collection list is added.]
Kang Yoo-sik, who looked at the notification window in front of him satisfactorily, left Trua behind with a look on his face and came out of the battle hall.
Then Ban Hye-young, who was waiting at the entrance, glanced inward and asked. “Did you win?”
“Yes, it was a bit close, but I won.”
Trua thinks Kang Yoo-sik has been relaxed all the time, but in reality, he hasn’t.
Considering the improvement of Trua’s skills as soon as he returns to his accommodation every day, Yoo-sik squeezed out a new strategy like crazy, and after having all kinds of ways, he fights and barely wins.
If it weren’t for lack of experience, as he said before, he would have been defeated earlier.
‘It’s not like he’s been recognized as an A-class hunter for nothing.’
Thanks to him, his experience is building up rapidly, so if he has a little more time, he will no longer be a match.
So when Kang Yoo-sik decides to hurry up and finish the finals and run away to Korea. Ban Hye-young asked with a curious look.
“But I’ve been wondering for a while, why are you pretending to be busy? You’re not even preparing for the finals.”
“Because he’ll be more sorry if I pretend to be busy.”
This depends on the person, but in the case of Trua, the effect is no joke.
The debt rating has risen to grade D even though he only had a few trials right now. If he elaborates it here a few more times, he will be able to finish it neatly.
At Kang Yoo-sik’s answer, Ban Hye-young smiled and pulled his cheeks as if he was cute.
“Oh my gosh, you innocent boy. If you take care of him more because you’re sorry, why is there a pledge?”
Although this is different, Kang Yoo-sik held Ban Hye-young’s hand and separated it because he couldn’t tell it.
“Don’t treat me like a baby. Everyone has their own thoughts.”
“Yes, yes. Oh, let’s go hurry. I really have a place to go today.”
Kang Yoo-sik looked at Ban Hye-young’s hand-in-hand lead with a curious look.
“Where are you going?”
“Round Academy Treasure warehouse.”
“……what?”
When Kang Yoo-sik, who thought she was joking, looked at her with a puzzled look, Ban Hye-young added calmly.
“Heinz must have liked you. The Round Academy treasure warehouse says they’re giving you something.”
“Really?”
“Really. Why would I lie like that?”
Kang Yoo-sik looked surprised at Ban Hye-young’s words.
The treasure warehouse of Round Academy was one of the places that collectors wanted to visit.
This is because the treasure warehouse was the place where the estimated value did not come down from the top 10 in the world even after a considerable number of items were lost after the Round Academy was half destroyed.
However, Kang Yoo-sik was suspicious rather than happy about the huge proposal.
‘They’re going to give me treasure for beating down Trua?’
Of course, if they hate Knight College terribly, they may, but there is a limit to it.
‘That old man…… you’re aiming for something.’
I don’t know what you’re after, but I don’t have to say no if he doesn’t force it with a pledge. Because it’s okay if I ignore it when I have to.
Thinking so, Kang Yoo-sik was led by Ban Hye-young and moved to the fourth floor of the main building. He went into the office of the dean of the magic school located on the east side of the main building.
Squeek-.
Inside, decorated with antique furniture, there were bookshelves and mysterious magic tools all over the place, which looked like a medieval wizard’s room.
“Oh, you’re here now.”
While sitting down and looking at the documents, Heinz stood up with his glasses off, and I saw his gray hair sticking out from the back of the reception sofa.
When Kang Yoo-sik, who realized that Wilhelmina was hiding, gave a wink, Heinz smiled bitterly.
“She wants to see you, but she’s still shy. I have work to do today, so I’ll ask you next time.”
“Oh, yes.”
“Then let’s go.”
Heinz, who approached the door, lightly knocked on the door handle with the Branch of the World Tree, a class S weapon, held in his hand.
Woooong-
Then the green magic square floated all over the door, and after a while, the entire space of the area felt twisted.
“Indeed, this place is to keep the treasures.”’
the key ‘Branch of the World’s Tree.’ A place cannot be entered without Heinz’s special mana arrangement.
As such, only some of the items have been lost in the large-scale incident where the Round Academy was destroyed.
“Then I’ll be back.”
Heinz, who talked to Wilhelmina who was hiding, opened the door, and the Round Academy’s treasure warehouse appeared.
The interior had an antique atmosphere with a medieval feel, but the decorations were lined up, which reminded me of libraries rather than warehouses.
The decorations were huge enough to lift their heads to see the end, and inside, space was divided into transparent partitions.
‘It looks sloppy, but it’s all magic.’
There are some items that have a negative effect if they have a bad impact on each other, so this processing will be essential.
Kuwoong.
The door connected to the dean’s office closed, and Heinz turned and looked forward.
” I was personally moved by the achievement you did this time. So it’s not big but I’d like to present one of the items in this warehouse.”
Kang Yoo-sik was wondering what the achievement was, but it wasn’t important now, so he went straight to the main topic.
“Are you going to choose for me?”
“That’s okay, too. But I don’t care if you choose it yourself. I’ll give you a rough idea of what it is.”
I can choose whatever I want. Kang Yoo-sik looked inside.
‘You must have left out everything important.’
Perhaps the ones in here were collected only from the middle to the bottom, even inside the existing treasure warehouse.
Of course, all of them are above B-level equipment, but I have to choose well here to find something so valuable that even they didn’t know.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen this.’
Not often, but sometimes I searched the store for things. When Kang Yoo-sik smiled, Ban Hye-young, who was standing next to him, whispered quietly.
“I’m sure these are all mediocre things anyway, so just take what the old man recommends you.”
Normally, Ban Hye-young would be right, but Kang Yoo-sik shook his head.
“No, I’ll look for it.”
“I don’t think there’s any…….”
Kang Yoo-sik walked into the warehouse, leaving Ban Hye-young, muttering with a suspicious look.
Looking at the items in the cabinet, I active memory maps and think of books that describe various items that I have read.
If only expensive things were gathered, it would have been difficult to distinguish them because there was no information, but because they were all intermediate things, it was easy to distinguish them because there were many items that were released in a way that they could be dropped from other places.
Kang Yoo-sik walked all the way to the inside of the warehouse.
‘……I found it.’
He stopped in front of the ring that glistening with blue light
