Archery Genius in the Academy Chapter 70

#Episode 70

Minjun’s declaration of war caused an uproar in the group chat room.

Swordsmanship Department Seungjae: Huh? What does this mean again?

Kiyong, Department of Communications: You’re doing this on stage?

Changwon, Department of Magic: I have a friend’s birthday party on Saturday, huh?

The group members’ chatting became faster due to the sudden announcement.

Hirong, Department of Communications: It’s tomorrow, but it’s too sudden!

Changwon, Department of Magic: What kind of team is this?!!

Seungjae, Department of Swordsmanship: You just have to submit it by next Saturday anyway… Aren’t you pushing yourself too hard?

However, Minjun was not one to be swayed by the group members’ rebuttal.

Rather, it came out stronger.

Minjun, Archery Department: Exams start next week anyway, so it’s better to get it done quickly!

Department of Magic, Changwon: … … .

Swordsmanship Department Seungjae: Be firm… … .

In contrast, Seo Min-jae did not make a single complaint.

Not only did she have nothing to lose, she also had many similarities to Min-jun.

I had a tendency to do everything in advance to ease my frustration, and I tended to avoid saying things that weren’t particularly necessary.

In any case, Min-jun thought that since the notice was posted, it was obvious that he would be forced to come.

“People who don’t come make all kinds of excuses to not come in the first place.”

Meanwhile, when all the schedules were decided, Seo Min-jae picked up the long spear that he had put down for a moment as if he had been waiting.

“So, is it done? “I go first.”

“uh? okay. “If you’re busy, go first.”

Without even having time to hear Minjun’s answer, she put the long spear on her shoulder and showed her back.

“You look more humanless than Seo-ah, why? Is it because of my mood?”

If you hadn’t eaten, I was going to ask you if we wanted to have dinner together.

Seo Min-jae was climbing the stairs to the second floor of the student center, wondering why he was so busy.

“Why not eat alone? It looks like the academic department is closed… . The other kids are probably already home too. I have no choice but to eat alone. Shall we go there then?”

Even in my current life, I often ate alone, so I didn’t mind it too much.

Finally, just as I was thinking about where to go.

At that time, I decided to go to the new snack shop that I went to with Kang Jun-pyo.

Blackbow and major books were placed on the bench in the lobby.

There was quite a bit of luggage, but it wasn’t that heavy, so it seemed like we could easily get to the front gate.

But the moment I bend down briefly to pack my luggage.

There was a small black ribbon lying on the floor.

“uh?! “This is.”

From what I remember, it was a black ribbon attached to Seo Min-jae’s long spear.

I didn’t know when this had fallen on the floor, but I felt like it was an important ribbon and I had to keep it.

“Wait a minute, isn’t the second floor the study room? Should I just hand it over right away?”

Thinking that he wouldn’t have gone far anyway, Minjun thought it would be better to hand over the black ribbon and have dinner.

***

Xenix Academy Library Study Room.

Seo Min-jae, who had study sessions with his classmates on weekday evenings, was late for a long time.

“Oh sorry. “It’s a little late.”

However, his classmates continued to look at Seo Min-jae with envy.

That’s right too.

This is because several of Seo Min-jae’s classmates who were taking the same liberal arts class were well aware of the reason for her tardiness.

These days, if you don’t know Cha Min-jun at Xenix Academy, they make fun of him and say he’s from another world, so he was a ‘popular guy’ among first graders.

“There must have been a good reason for that!”

“I’m jealous of Minjae~ I secretly wanted to be in the same group as Minjun.”

“how is it? “They say she’s that good-looking in person.”

“I saw my friend at the dorm swimming pool and he said he had a really nice body?!”

“So what did you talk about today? Are you saying we’re going to investigate your group’s Ark guild this time? “I’m really jealous!”

Questions continued to pour in to Seo Min-jae.

Ironically, it seemed like my classmates already knew who I was meeting.

“How do you do that?”

“What, how?! Chansik said he saw us alone in the lobby of the student center earlier.”

“… … .”

She was usually quiet and reticent within the department, so she felt a little burdened by the unusual attention.

However, I was worried that if I just kept my mouth shut, the atmosphere would be clouded.

I felt like I had to answer reluctantly.

“Well, we didn’t say much other than making plans for tomorrow’s tour. “That’s it.”

“Hey, what?! “It’s not fun.”

“There’s more, but you don’t want to tell us?”

“It’s disgraceful. “He only wants to know about himself.”

Even when I told the truth, my classmates always seemed jealous.

I’ve never been interested in you before.

This sudden interest felt more like pretense to her.

‘Why don’t you give me this kind of attention as usual? Come now.’

Not everyone is like that, but only the strong always get attention and attention.

Seo Min-jae, who entered the spearmanship department at Xenix Academy and did not receive much attention, and maintained a mid-level ranking for first-year students, was not pleased with the current moment.

Originally, I had a separate academy to apply to, but I failed the entrance exam by one question, so unfortunately I had no choice but to enter Xenics Academy, which was my second choice.

Is that why?

While attending Xenix Academy, not only did I have a hard time adjusting, but for some reason, I didn’t feel comfortable with my classmates.

She always walked around with an expressionless look on her face, and even during lunch hours, she would always eat alone.

That’s why I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable at the questions that were constantly being asked of me today.

‘I need to drop out of this damn school quickly.’

Dropping out was something I thought about several times a day.

Even if she were to drop out right now, she had nowhere to go and no dreams, so she was hesitating every day.

Since I was young, my family’s circumstances were not very good, so I lived with the hope of being a hunter.

She did not neglect training every day with the hope of being able to make a living as well as others.

However, life at the academy was not as easy as she thought.

Now, I’m starting to get scared about whether I can really achieve my dream of becoming a hunter.

I just thought of myself as someone who lived like a frog in a well.

This Zenix Academy was a space where it was questionable whether she could survive.

“I need to go to the bathroom for a moment.”

Seo Min-jae first wanted to run away from this situation.

I wasn’t in a hurry yet, but I just wanted to go to the bathroom and avoid the current situation.

First, she went to the wall near the window to put the polearm in a corner.

“Huh? “My ribbon?”

Just when I was about to tilt the polearm and let it go.

Only then did I realize that the black ribbon tied to the long spear was not visible.

It happened so unexpectedly.

I couldn’t immediately remember where I had dropped the ribbon.

“My ribbon… Where is it?!”

I was losing my mind.

She kept searching the ground to see if she had spilled something on her way into the study room.

“doesn’t exist. doesn’t exist. “My ribbon.”

The study room members looked at Seo Min-jae strangely.

She seemed especially fussed, as if she would be in big trouble without the ribbon.

“Take a good look. “What are you looking for with such trembling?”

“Didn’t you lose it when you came here?”

“I don’t think I’ve seen you since you came in earlier?”

“What’s so important about that ribbon!” really. “It’s not even a child.”

Seo Min-jae’s eyes widened at the words of one of his classmates.

Because it was a black ribbon that had meaning to me, I couldn’t help but think about my motive for speaking carelessly.

She picked up the polearm that had been left on the wall again and boldly thrust it into her friend’s neck.

Wow-

“What did you just say?”

At that moment, his friend, who was surprised by Seo Min-jae’s actions, raised both his hands in surprise.

“you… What are you doing? “Aren’t you going to clean this window right now?”

“I apologize.”

“What is he saying now? It’s just something I blurted out. Why are you taking it so seriously?”

“Apologize!”

The atmosphere in the study room suddenly became cold.

The rest of the group also tried to stop Seo Min-jae.

“Minjae, put down that window first.”

“What are you doing here!”

“Hey, Seo Min-jae. “You crossed the line with this.”

However, she had no intention of putting down the spear.

At least until I receive an apology… .

Just when there was no sign of the atmosphere getting any better.

Just then, the study room door suddenly opened.

A man carrying a black ribbon in one hand.

It was none other than Team 5 leader Cha Min-jun.

***

Meanwhile, Min-jun also looked embarrassed as completely unexpected scenes unfolded.

“Did I come in at a time when I shouldn’t have?”

Seo Min-jae was holding a long spear and aiming it at the neck of a man who appeared to be the same age.

I just came to hand over the black ribbon, but it seemed like I got the timing wrong.

“uh?! “It’s Cha Min-jun!”

“Daeeebak!”

“What, he had it?”

When Minjun saw it, the study group members looked at him curiously.

Min-jun, who thought he should quickly leave the ribbon behind and go out, found a nearby table.

“Then, I’ll just give you the ribbon and leave. “Just keep doing what you were doing.”

Minjun left the ribbon on the table and left the study room.

-After all, you are young. They spar in places like that too.

‘I don’t think it’s that kind of atmosphere.’

-How are you going to use the bowman since you don’t have a sharp eye for it?

‘The atmosphere seemed quite cold.’

Minjun looked at it differently than Gram thought.

I didn’t know that much information about Seo Min-jae, but in that brief moment.

Her eyes seemed truly full of life.

‘He was looking at me with an almost intent to kill me.’

Of course, I wasn’t sure, but it was completely different from the Seo Min-jae I had seen so far.

Anyway.

Minjun thought it didn’t matter since he returned the ribbon.

“So, should we really go eat dinner now?”

Of course, Minjun becomes very sensitive when he is hungry.

Because I was getting dizzy, I had to strictly follow meal times.

The worst part is that even in this life, if you’re hungry, you can’t do anything.

I had to eat dinner before it got too late.

Finally, it was time to go back down the second floor stairs that I had come up.

Seo Min-jae came out of the study room and called Min-jun.

“Hey, Cha Min-jun.”

“… … .”

“You look at me for a second.”

Minjun had an ominous feeling that dinner time would likely be pushed back even further.
