#Episode 71
Minjun followed Seo Minjae back to the lobby of the student center on the first floor.
“Did you give it to me late on purpose?”
What does this mean again?
For a moment, Minjun thought he had heard wrong.
I gave it to him at best, but when he turned up the heat like this, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“Heh, what? I thought about it for a while and brought it to you. Delivered late? “Is that what you’re going to say now?”
“Isn’t it real?”
“Do I really look like someone who would lie just because of that ribbon? “I’m not that free, am I?”
As Min-jun spoke firmly, Seo Min-jae also looked a little embarrassed.
The life-filled eyes from before were suddenly becoming slightly embarrassed.
“Yeah, really? “If that’s the case, I’m sorry.”
“I think there’s one more thing to say besides saying sorry.”
“Ok, thanks. “I guess I was so embarrassed when I saw that the ribbon was gone that I didn’t see anything.”
“Ha, I’m so distraught that I haven’t even had dinner yet. “Don’t do this to yourself too.”
“I’m really sorry.”
When Min-jun did not let go easily, she apologized several times.
It was only then that Seo Min-jae’s apology seemed a little more sincere to Min-jun.
Moreover, she readily showed me a favor by even buying me dinner.
“There’s no need to go that far.”
“That’s because I don’t eat either.”
“What did you do to not eat until this hour?
“Well, we made a schedule together.”
“It was like that. Then shall we go eat? “The restaurant will be closing soon, right?”
“Okay, let’s go quickly.”
Min-jun followed Seo Min-jae, who decided to buy food as an apology.
“For your information, I eat a lot. Is it okay though?”
“so do i.”

Restaurant near Xenix Academy.
“The pork rice bowl you ordered has arrived.”
Steaming pork rice bowl.
Minjun hurriedly picked up his spoon because he had to eat it before it got cold.
Yum Yum.
Seo Min-jae burst out laughing at Min-jun’s human appearance.
“Pfft, anyone who sees me will think I’ve starved for a few days.”
“You’re stuck in the middle of nowhere and you can’t even take care of yourself.”
“It’s so dirty I’m dying. Eat everything and talk. “Eat everything.”
As I was eating so frantically, I ended up emptying half of my food in less than 5 minutes.
At that moment, Minjun also looked at Seo Minjae cautiously, as if he felt something was wrong.
“how is it? “Is it worth eating?”
“Oh, I’m asking too quickly.”
“I lost my temper for a moment.”
“I really thought I was someone who starved for a few days. Well, it still tastes pretty good.”
“okay? I’m glad. Eat a lot.”
“I buy the food, right? “Are you really talking about it as if you were living it?”
“I’ll eat well.”
It was my first time eating with Seo Min-jae, and for some reason, he felt friendly.
I thought she would have an ice princess concept like Lee Seo-ah, but she seemed to have a soft side in her own way.
Soon, Min-jun pointed to the long spear that Seo Min-jae was carrying and asked about the meaning of the black ribbon.
“But does the black ribbon have any meaning? “Is it rude to ask?”
“uh… hmm… .”
“If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to.”
She glanced at the polearm, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then seemed to make a decision.
“Okay, but since you found my ribbon, I can tell you that much.”
Minjun was also slightly excited, as if there was some kind of story behind it.
“Actually, there’s nothing special. “It feels similar to just a loyalty ring with a friend?”
“It really wasn’t a big deal. “Does that friend go here too?”
“He’s dead.”
“… sorry.”
“are you okay. “I’m a bit calm now anyway.”
Min-jun thought it would be rude to ask more in-depth questions, so he tried to change the topic.
but.
Seo Min-jae readily began to tell the story about the black ribbon.
“My friend grew up in the same neighborhood since I was young… “After the cataclysm, everything disappeared.”
“ah… .”
I decided to enroll in the same academy and become a level A or higher hunter.
At the time of the cataclysm when the Demon King appeared.

Seo Min-jae, who lost his only friend, seemed to still be suffering from the aftereffects.
Moreover, the black ribbon attached to the long spear was the friend’s favorite thing, and it was possible to gauge the depth of her friendship.
‘Wherever you go, there are bound to be victims of cataclysm.’
-You are a very loyal friend. As expected, no one knows unless he tells the truth. It’s a bit pitiful.
After listening to Seo Min-jae’s story for a while, she now asked a question.
From why you entered Xenix Academy and whether you are satisfied with your current life, etc.
Seo Min-jae seemed to secretly have a lot of questions about Min-jun.
Minjun couldn’t reveal everything right now, but he still had to answer with confidence, so he spit out whatever came to mind.
“Well, Xenics Academy isn’t just special in the swordsmanship department! I also wanted to leave this kind of impression. Above all, Prow Academy is a bit far away, right? It’s a hassle to go there. I really like my friends here too. and… There are many restaurants near here. “Education is also delicious.”
“You live such a simple life.”
“Is there a reason to live a complicated life? “No one knows the future anyway.”
Of course, the story is a little different if it’s Min-jun, who knows the overall story of [Dad’s Palace].
Anyway.
Seo Min-jae began to understand Min-jun’s answer little by little.
“But why did you fight earlier? “I thought he was almost going to kill me?”
“Oh, that? “Because he provoked me first.”
“Provocation?”
When one of my classmates asked me why I was leaving with a worthless ribbon.
He said he was very angry.
As I listened to Seo Min-jae’s words to the end, I began to understand a little why she made such a sudden move in the study room.
“I guess that’s when I came in.”
“If it weren’t for you, she would have died to me today.”
“That friend should buy me food too.”
“of course.”
While talking like that, I quickly finished eating a bowl of pork rice bowl.
Min-jun, who was not satisfied with just one bowl, quietly observed Seo Min-jae’s thoughts.
“Can I order one more bowl?”
“For some reason, it seemed like that would be the case. okay. “It’s the first and last time I’m buying it for you~!”
“Saengyu.”
“Boss, here are two additional servings of pork.”
“Is there enough for one person?”
“Is it just your mouth? “Are you going to eat it too?”
“Ah, sorry!”

Arch Guild Secretary’s Office.
After finishing the morning meeting, Director Lim had to go to meet Min-jun in the afternoon as instructed by Master Koo Hwang-seok.
Since I was already busy with meetings with executives within the Arc Guild and business trips.
Even having two bodies would not be enough.
I had a terrible headache because I had to go to Xenix Academy.
“This is all because of Master Gu. “If that hadn’t happened, it wouldn’t have gotten to this point.”
As Director Lim, who was only responsible for driving troublemakers, the stress was gradually accumulating.
Even so.
Since I couldn’t leave my backlog of work aside, I’m already prepared to return it this weekend.
After making sure his suit fit neatly and finishing his hair, he was slowly getting ready to leave for Xenics Academy.
A call came from Director Lim’s secretary.
Beep-
[Director, we have received a call.]
“What is it?”
[This is a communication from the Xenics Academy academic affairs team. I think I was contacted due to an inquiry about a field trip for Xenix trainees.]
“ah? And you said it was this weekend, right?”
[Yes, that’s right.]
“It’s already this week. “Please connect me first.”
[Yes, we will connect you right away.]
Beep-
When the secretary connected the call, Director Lim calmly answered the phone.
“Hello, my name is Arch Guild Manager Lim.”
[hello. My name is Hwang Ki-wook, manager of the Xenics Academy academic affairs team.]
“Manager Hwang, it’s been a while. I heard about it last week from my secretary. “I guess it’s already time to tour the guild.”
[That’s right, we’re amazed at how time goes by every year. haha!]
“What kind of students will this year be? “Most of them are freshmen, right?”
[Yes, that’s right. They are all freshmen taking liberal arts classes, and there are a total of 5 trainees on the tour this time.]
“There’s one more person than last year?”
Because Director Lim’s afternoon schedule is so tight.
I couldn’t make long phone calls.
[Then, since you are probably busy, I will fax you the list right away.]
“Yes, Manager Hwang. thank you.”
[Thank you for your support this year as well.]
“That’s me. haha! “Please come in.”
Tu- Tu-
He ended the call after receiving a quick fax of the list of trainees who would be touring the Arch Guild tomorrow.
“Ah, this is the most annoying thing every year.”
In fact, the sponsor is the Arch Guild, so why do I feel like I have more work to do?
Of course, there was no need for Director Lim to personally guide the trainee tours.
But because of his personality.
Only when you lead by example can more trainees want to join the Arch Guild and you will feel proud.
Director Lim was in charge of guiding trainees who came on field trips every year.
Soon, a fax from Xenix Academy arrived.
Beep profit-
Anyway, only insignificant trainees were accepted every year.
Director Lim did not appear to be full of expectations this year either.
“I guess they’ll just be the same kids this year.”
However, contrary to Director Lim’s expectations.
The familiar name seemed odd.
[Arc Guild Field Trip Trainee List]
Seo Min-jae, 1st year, Spearmanship Department
Cha Min-jun, 1st year archery major
Seungjae Yoon, 1st year swordsman
Kiyong Kim, 1st year majoring in Communication Studies
Park Chang-won, a freshman in the Department of Magic
Total: 5 people
There were three letters in the name of none other than Cha Min-jun.
For a moment I thought I might have seen something wrong, so I rubbed my eyes again and checked, but there was no change.
“Oh, by the way, there are days like this too.”
Director Lim could not have imagined that Cha Min-jun was a trainee who would be touring the Arch Guild this year.
He actually seemed welcoming.
“It’s actually good. So you’re saying it wouldn’t be fun to just let them in?”
Director Lim thought it would be okay to come up with a plan.
After all, this is a way to introduce the Arch Guild and let people tour and experience it.
He wanted to use this opportunity to test Cha Min-jun.
“It’s been a while since I’ve had some fun watching.”
Director Lim raised the glasses he was wearing.
A smile of conversion formed naturally, to the extent that his bright teeth were visible.
Indeed, it was a moment where I was already curious about how Cha Min-jun would react to the system he had planned.
