#Episode 160
Bong Jong-ho was so shocked that he could hardly keep his mouth shut.
“Oh my god! “I never thought I would meet someone who absorbed the Black Magic Stone!”
That’s right too.
This is because the most important ingredient in the ‘Arapin Elixir’ is the magic power containing the ingredients of the Black Magic Stone.
For Bong Jong-ho, who had been trading method books and traveling the world for decades, this was the first time he actually met a hunter who had absorbed the Black Magic Stone.
Because of this, I was suspicious that he might have been drunk and hallucinating.
He slaps himself on both cheeks.
I even tried to pinch my cheek repeatedly, but fortunately(?) the situation I encountered was real.
“I can’t believe it! “I can’t believe it!”
Moreover, I couldn’t help but be even more surprised by Minjun’s still youthful appearance.
It was difficult to understand that he was a trainee, but what was even more surprising was that.
‘Light, it’s shining. From the writing method!’
‘Arapin Elixir Recipe’, which is said to shine only from its original owner.
It was shining proudly inside Bong Jong-ho’s luggage, as if it had recognized its owner.
“You go through all sorts of things in life. How did you absorb the Black Magic Stone?! “How on earth!”
Bong Jong-ho, who was curious about the process that led to this, wanted to hear the whole story.
However, it is as if Bong Jong-ho’s sorrow was burning.
Min-jun rather remained silent.
“I think the conditions have been met. I would like to trade a recipe book. “Elderly.”
“Hmm, is it difficult to answer my question?”
“Because I’m shy.”
“Fuhahaha! “This guy is really good at telling jokes!”
Despite the evasive answer, Bong Jong-ho did not seem to be in a very bad mood.
Eventually, he took out his luggage and tried to pull something out.
Sigh-
“Now, you said this is what you need, right?”
What Bong Jong-ho gave to Min-jun was none other than the recipe book for Arapin Elixir.
Min-jun also expressed gratitude for Bong Jong-ho’s attitude of willingly handing it over.
“Thank you, old man. how much is it?”
Just as Minjun was about to take out his wallet from his inner pocket.
Again, Bong Jong-ho stubbornly refused.
“That’s it, man. Let’s just say it was showmanship a little while ago. “It’s the first time I’ve ever seen such a sight in my life~”
“Ah, but there is such a thing as business ethics, old man. “If you give it to me freely, my heart will be heavy.”
“Hmm, then let’s do it like this.”
“… … .”
“You shoot the second shot. There was a new pub in front of me. I heard they even had a tasting event yesterday? “We’re in a refreshing state right now, so let’s just drink lightly?”
“It’s an honor for me. “I will do it, old man.”
“ha ha ha! “The young friend has a refreshing personality!”
After finally receiving the ‘Arapin Elixir Recipe Book’ from him.
Bong Jong-ho and Min-jun were riding the second car to the pub right across from them.

next day.
“Oh, my head hurts.”
Min-jun came into the dormitory late at night after drinking with Bong Jong-ho all night.
Contrary to what I thought there would be no hangover.
As soon as he woke up, Minjun felt a severe headache.
“I guess I can never go out drinking again.”
I wondered if binge-watching ‘Black Russian’ yesterday with all my pretentiousness was the cause of my current hangover.
“But there was income.”
He got up from the bed and immediately opened the desk drawer.
Sigh-
“also.”
Inside the drawer was a copy of ‘Arapin Elixir Recipe’.
Of course it’s thick.
Unlike other writing books, the colorful holograms stood out.
[Special] Arapin’s elixir recipe book.
Description: A book on how to make Arapin elixir, with detailed information.
“It’s brief. “Would you like to take a break first and take a look at the contents of the instruction book?”
Fortunately, because it was the end of the year, many lectures had already ended.
Minjun has had a lot of time these days.
Currently, if you don’t come out of your dorm room until 11 a.m., it’s no surprise that winter break has already started.
Soon, Minjun headed to the student cafeteria with a haggard look on his face.
In the student cafeteria, bean sprout soup, a proprietary hangover menu item, was always on sale.
Trainees usually go to the student cafeteria in the morning and eat bean sprout soup… .
‘Almost a hundred is a hundred! You can think of it as a hangover.’
Minjun naturally sits by the window holding a tray of food.
Thinking of his aunt at a restaurant who had filled him with bean sprouts, he even showed him the image of bean sprout soup and sprouts as one.

‘Oh, should I just live here?’
Xenix Academy has everything.
Rather, Minjun was more familiar with this place than the stuffy real world, and had already accepted its vast world view.
Also, because we have already mastered a scale beyond a certain level of magical power.
Now he had reached a level where he could stand out wherever he went.
Seup-
Meanwhile, Minjun, who had just finished eating, was busy trying to cure his hangover.
We quickly finished a bowl of food like that.
Min-jun, who felt regretful about something, picked up his tray again and ran to his aunt at the restaurant.
The generous restaurant aunt casually scooped up soup with a large ladle and poured it on Minjun’s plate.
“thank you.”
With a satisfied smile, Minjun returned to his seat.
However, she was sitting in the seat in front of Minjun, which was initially empty.
“Have a hangover in the morning? “Did you drink yesterday?”
It was none other than Anna Park.
I wondered why she was sitting here, where no one had been since morning.
“little? But how did you know about it and come here?”
“ah? here?! Cheonwoo told me. They say it smells like alcohol. For some reason, he gave me some advice (?) that he would go to Hakseok when he woke up. Still, I guess a roommate is a roommate? Who knew you really existed?”
“… “There are surveillance cameras everywhere.”
“huh? what?”
“Nothing.”
“… “But.”
“… … ?”
Park Anna, as if she was curious about something, asked a question hesitantly while avoiding eye contact with Minjun.
“that… .”
“What… ? “Speak without hesitation.”
“Who did you drink with yesterday? “Just in case, I asked Junpyo and Solji in advance, and they said no.”
“Yeah, there’s no need for me to drink among couples.”
“So, with whom? no way… ? “It’s not Seo-ah, right?”
“Seo? “You know I’m not close enough to drink with him alone.”
“yes? Then who? “Are you sure it’s a woman?”
What was so unsettling was that Park Anna had a deep look of nervousness on her face.
But, is it as likely as she thinks?
Minjun answered calmly.
“What about women? I drank alone with an elderly man who was much older than me. it’s okay?”
“ah! really?! Good luck then… . what? Elderly? “Who is the old man?”
“You don’t need to know that.”
“Cheet!”
She pursed her lips and raised her eyes, as if she were annoyed.
Of course, no matter how Anna Park feels.
There was no need for Minjun to worry much.
“you? “Is it worth it to be that supporter?”
“… Oh, supporters? “It tastes like death.”
After the Guild War, Anna Park began working as an Arc Guild supporter in earnest.
Perhaps it was because of her lively personality, but she also happened to be the leader of the supporters team, so she was busy for various reasons.
“I’m so scared. No, as soon as you start supporting activities, don’t you take on the role of leader? Didn’t they give us an assignment yesterday… . “I’m so tired.”
“It’s all your fault.”
“Is that comforting now?”
“It’s my own consolation.”
“It’s really like Cha Min-jun.”
Was I too preoccupied with the bean sprout soup?
Minjun looked at Anna Park’s appearance for a moment.
In just a week of not seeing each other, her jawline looked particularly prominent.
Anna Park’s jawline was originally slim, but she seemed to have lost a lot of weight, perhaps due to the supporter activities mentioned earlier.
“Did you eat breakfast?”
“No, I told you that you would be here as soon as I woke up, so I ran straight to you.”
“Hmm.”
Minjun stood up as soon as she finished speaking.
Then, he naturally took out a tray and received food from the restaurant aunt.
Sigh-
“Ego. “It’s good to be busy, but you shouldn’t have time to eat.”
“thank you. After all, you are the only one who takes care of me.”
“Isn’t it because there’s only me in front of you?”
“That’s it~”
“Stop talking too much and eat quickly.”
“I’ll eat well.”
Minjun also smiled at the sight of Park Anna lifting the spoon without saying a word.
In a way, it suddenly occurred to me that Anna Park may have been the only person who treated me with any friendliness for nearly a year.
Eventually, the two men and women were slowly emptying their plates in silence.
Raindrops began to fall one by one beyond the window.
Rubbing- Rubbing-
At first glance, it didn’t seem like it would stop any time soon, and Minjun immediately asked Anna Park a question.
“Are you busy today too?”
“today? no! “It’s a long-awaited rainy day, so I’m going to stay with you today.”
“to?”
“… why? no… ?”
“It’s not like that. “You must be bored, right?”
“I’ve been hanging out with you all this time and have never been bored?”
“Even though I’m going to go to the library right after eating?”
“yes! “I like libraries too.”
***
Despite repeated attempts to dissuade him.
Unintentionally, Minjun ended up going to the library with Anna Park.
“Jun, do you come to the library often?”
“I live almost exclusively in the dormitory library. “It doesn’t come this far.”
“Oh yeah?”
Since it was quite far from the dormitory building, Minjun did not necessarily visit the Xenix Central Library.
Of course, the vast amount of books and materials could not be compared to the dormitory library, but the dormitory library was well-stocked, so he did not feel the need to come here.
“But what do you do at the library?”
“Well, I’m going to go to the lab for a moment.”
“laboratory? Why are you there? “Isn’t that a place where most people from the elixir manufacturing department hang out?”
“Yes, I have something to make too.”
“Elixir? you? suddenly?”
“why? “Can’t I make something like that?”
“It’s not like that, but… . “It’s so unexpected, isn’t it?”
There must be a recipe book for the Arapin elixir. Minjun not only has to analyze the ingredients of the elixir first.
It felt like I would be trapped in the lab for quite some time.
Of course, there was Park Anna, who had special knowledge about making elixirs, so it could have been quite helpful… .
Since it was Minjun’s idea, there was no way to know what would actually happen.
“It’s kind of important… . “If you don’t want to follow, you can go first.”
“no! “I’m going too!”
“Anyway.”
Anna Park always looked excited, without any idea what kind of elixir she would make.
