ReLife Player Chapter 604

Relife Player 604

[Chapter 162]

[does not belong anywhere]

When the Player Academy was completed.

The superhumans who had conquered all the dungeons distributed in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province returned to their daily lives.

The era of military leaders, in which supermen who rose up from various places ruled their own cities and called themselves monarchs, was coming to an end.

The world, which had found stability from destruction, was preparing to bloom new flowers amid destruction.

“Whoa… .”

<Sinchang> Namgung Nebula.

He also returned to his dojo and spent his daily life sharpening his spear.

<Cheolong> Moon Jun and his colleagues were meeting every day to lay out the framework for the Player Academy.

Hehehe

Sweating with my shirt off.

He was repeating the same movements endlessly, and suddenly mana appeared in his body.

The mana that came out of the body immediately turned into ice particles and fluttered around.

Next, he tried to perform the movement he had been repeating a moment ago with the spear that had concentrated his power.

It was then.

“─<Sinchang>”

Someone knocked on the door of the dojo.

Namgung Seongwoon, who broke his concentration, let out a long sigh.

He collected the mana from the tip of the spear and opened the door.

“… … .”

“It came from the Mana Management Bureau.”

A man in a black suit.

Namgung Seongwoon looked closely at the man who suddenly lowered his head towards him.

“Please come in.”

“Yes, thank you. And I am very sorry for interfering with your training.”

A man from the Mana Management Bureau.

Judging by the fact that he had come to meet him, he was probably a man who belonged to a high position within the organization.

Namgung Seongwoon softened his mood after receiving the man’s apology.

Eventually, Namgung Seongwoon brought the man into the dojo and sat down anywhere.

The man laid his butt across from me.

“<Cheolong> “I came here to convey your message.”

“Hmm… .”

Soon, Namgung Seongwoon nodded as if asking him to say more.

The man continued.

“Didn’t<Sinchang>speak before about adding a cultural festival to the academy’s academic calendar?”

“Yes.”

“However, it is good to simply plan a cultural festival to alleviate the outside world’s image of superhumans, or rather players, but since it is a place that trains players, there was an opinion that it would be good to have a place where players can see their skills.” “Hmm… .”

“So, we concluded with the opinion that it would be a good idea to create a competition to test the students’ skills in addition to the cultural festival.” “Competition?”

“Yes, we plan to plan a comprehensive competition based on interpersonal competition, regardless of the player’s specialty.”

Speaking of competition.

Namgung Seongwoon opened his eyes.

He raised his thick, white eyebrows and showed interest.

“So what are you trying to ask of me?” “Yes, it’s no different, <Sinchang> “Aren’t you currently regarded as a revered hero in Korea?” “Hmm, hm… .”

Namgung Seongwoon did not necessarily deny it.

He nodded weakly.

“That’s why I came to visit you because I thought it would be a good idea to use the trophy created by <Sinchang>, who is considered the best in Korea, as the championship trophy.” “Hmm… .”

“I am sure the students will be proud of themselves too.”

“Hmm… .”

A proposal from a Mana Management Bureau official.

Namgung Seongyun stroked his long beard and was lost in thought for a moment.

Soon he raised the corners of his mouth as if an interesting idea occurred to him.

He broke the silence and spoke.

“─Yes, good. “I will make that trophy.”

That was the origin of the general category competition.

☆

As the third day of the comprehensive competition progresses, the number of students participating decreases significantly.

As a result, the last sparring on the third day ended relatively early.

“Ha… . Damn it.” “Bappa?”

Meeting Mok Min-ho, who was taken to the health room.

Eunha, who was scolded by Cha Eunwoo there, sighed as soon as she left the building.

It’s not because I got scolded by her.

Just thinking about tonight made me sigh.

What kind of product am I… .

Why should I go out there?

Eunha was the final product of the labor center.

That day was today.

After receiving a message from Kim Min-ji a little while ago, Eun-ha realized once again that she was going to have to go to a labor center and continued to lament.

Running away… .

It won’t work, right?

All of the friends have already received the request and completed the client’s orders.

Eunha, who had watched her friends being sold away laughing, knew that she would most likely not be able to escape.

Perhaps people like Jinparang were already on guard around the academy.

Furthermore, Kim Min-ji may have released a rat and was monitoring her in real time.

I suddenly became worried about surveillance because I gave Minji something like that for no reason… .

The rats summoned by midnight whispers were wrapped in mana that was difficult to detect.

Eunha assured that Minji Kim would be watching her.

“… I don’t know. “I have to go see Yeonhwa.”

Soon, Eunha gave up on the idea.

After checking the time, he decided to go see Ryu Yeon-hwa.

This sister is also really amazing.

If it were me and I had a vacation, I would just rest at home, but why bother coming to the academy to watch the cultural festival… .

It was just a while ago.

I heard that Ryu Yeon-hwa contacted me.

At that time, Eunha received a call that Ryu Yeon-hwa was coming to see the Academy Cultural Festival on vacation.

Then, I sent a message to Eunha asking her to have dinner together when the time came.

Since it was the time when all her friends were working, Eunha readily accepted her offer.

“My sister has a great work ethic.

Looks like it was ironed out. I’m coming to see the skills of the kids participating in the competition… .”

“Bapa… .”

“Why is he hitting me?”

“Pupu.”

Buldak hit his head with his wing.

Eunha frowned slightly and removed the wing that kept hitting her head.

He soon decided to ignore Buldak’s complaints and head to the meeting place.

☆

Ryu Yeon-hwa, who is currently active as <Seolchang>, had an appearance that easily attracted attention.

As a result, ever since she became widely known to the world, Eunha had to pay attention to people’s attention when meeting her.

But Ryu Yeon-hwa said there was no need to worry about that today.

Where is this sister?

It was a street not far from the building where the comprehensive competition was held.

As most of the people who visited the academy came to see Noh Eun-ha.

Noh Eun-ha also had a well-known face.

As a result, he had to go through the crowd wearing a mask.

“Beep beep.”

“It’s in.”

“Pupu.”

Buldak was also a problem.

Before we knew it, Buldak had become one of Noh Eunha’s trademarks.

Eunha quickly pushed Buldak, whose head was sticking out, into her bosom and looked around.

I heard it’s around here… .

Among these many people, it was easy to find Ryu Yeon-hwa’s blue hair.

But even though Eunha looked around, she couldn’t find her.

Meanwhile─.

“─Eunha.”

“Huh?”

It was a familiar voice.

Eunha turned her head in the direction the voice came from.

“… Yeonhwa sister?” “Yes, it’s me.”

There was a tall woman there.

A woman with long black hair responded while wearing a mask.

Then he gently took off his mask and showed half of his face.

It was Ryu Yeon-hwa.

She was smiling shyly.

“You didn’t recognize me because my hair changed. What happened?”

“Because my hair stands out… . So I dyed it black for a while as an artifact.” “Oh, I see.” “Yes.”

Eunha approached her.

In response, Ryu Yeon-hwa took off her mask.

Ryu Yeon-hwa points to the yellow gouache on her wrist.

Eunha got a completely different impression from her with her hair dyed black.

Then I noticed it.

“You have pretty lips.” “Ah… , do you know that I put on lipstick?”

“How could you not know? It stands out like this.”

Hair like ebony.

A face like white jade.

And red lips.

Eunha could tell that she not only changed her hair but also applied lipstick.

“This time I went with Eun-ah and bought it, how was it…? ?” “What is it? Does it look nice?”

Ryu Yeon-hwa looks embarrassed.

Eunha, who had never seen her with makeup on, spoke honestly.

Then her face brightened.

“Where did you get choushu?”

“Changjin saved me. “I told you I was going to have dinner with you this time, so you saved me.” “Oh, really?”

I think Han Chang-jin did well for the first time.

Eunha, who thought of Han Chang-jin for a moment, decided to focus on Ryu Yeon-hwa.

“Sister, are you hungry? Shall we go eat? If you look around here, you’ll find booths selling food.”

“Yes, then. Do you want to eat something?” “Who is your sister?” “Let’s eat what you want.” “Beep beep beep ppppp ppppp!”

“You stay in… .”

☆

Having dinner nearby.

The two decided to take a walk around the area.

“Sorry, I have to go later so I don’t think I can stay for long.”

“No. I’m done with dinner. And I have to go to work tomorrow morning, so I have to get there soon.”

Eunha was running out of time.

You will soon have to participate in the labor camp.

Fortunately, Yeonhwa had a generous heart and did not mind.

“Tomorrow is the last day, right? Competition.”

“That’s right. “Tomorrow’s game is the last.”

Eunha wears a mask.

Ryu Yeon-hwa takes off her mask.

The two people looked around, maintaining a distance that was almost arm’s length away.

“Who is your opponent?” “Eunhyuk.”

“… I see.”

I am amazed by seeing amazing things.

The two men had a conversation.

Soon after hearing that Eunhyuk Choi would be Eunhyuk’s opponent in tomorrow’s finals, she muttered softly.

“I’m fighting with my friend. Aren’t you worried?”

“The Minho you fought with today was also your friend?”

“Ah… .”

“I’m not worried at all. On the contrary, I’m curious to see how much they’ve grown, so I want to fight them right away.”

Ryu Yeon-hwa’s worries.

Eunha burst into laughter, dispelling her worries.

To be honest, I was really looking forward to fighting Eunhyuk Choi in Dalian tomorrow.

Because Kaede Hoshimiya, Jinparang, and Minho Mok have achieved admirable growth.

Choi Eun-hyuk will most likely show his skills that will not be defeated by them.

Did you read his smile like that?

Ryu Yeon-hwa spoke affectionately.

“─You’re happy. You have grown to the point where your friends can compete with you.”

“Of course. Are these the kids I was targeting to bring to the party? So, we need to grow to this level.”

“The party… , have you decided which clan you want to join?”

Ryu Yeon-hwa asks in a caring tone.

She tilted her head to one side.

The flowing black hair seemed to sparkle in the booth lights.

And the lips caught my attention.

Unintentionally, Eunha stopped walking as her eyes fell on her lips.

“No… , I’m still thinking about it.”

Maybe she noticed?

After coming to her senses, Eunha looked away and spoke calmly.

Then he muttered that he was still thinking about it, as if repeating it to himself.

And then─.

“─Actually, I was confused… . I don’t know because I’m not sure yet. “I want to think about it a little more carefully.”

“So?”

Eunha expressed her honest feelings.

He had three paths.

One is to create a party without belonging anywhere.

The other is to belong to a clan and form a party.

And the other one doesn’t belong anywhere─.

─Creating your own clan.

Eunha chanted in her heart.

Among the three paths, there was one that my heart was leaning towards, or rather, I was almost certainly leaning towards.

Still, he was so unsure that he couldn’t make a decision.

I’m so lost in worry…

“─What if.”

“… Huh?”

Suddenly, Ryu Yeon-hwa spoke.

Eunha woke up from her thoughts when she heard Ryu Yeon-hwa’s voice.

She was looking straight at him.

“Eunha, if you create a clan… .”

“… … .”

“Will I be able to join then?”

Ryu Yeon-hwa’s confession.

The moment Eunha heard the unexpected words, she was unable to respond.

He found his composure late.

“… Can I ask why?” “Maybe if you create a clan, Euna will try to join it. In fact, when Eun-ah first joined the Regulus Clan, she suggested to Clan Lord Koo Yeon-soo that as a condition of joining the clan, she would not let him catch you if you end up in the clan.

“Sister?”

“Yes. And I want to party like this with Eun-ah─.”

Noh Eun-ah’s secret I heard through her. As a result, even though she was advised to adjust her settlement ratio to 8:2, she stubbornly maintained the ratio of 7:3.

Eunha clicked her tongue when she heard that.

Even though he thought she was his older sister, he also thought that she might be soft.

Meanwhile, Ryu Yeon-hwa continued speaking.

“─I want to work with you. For that reason… “Why not?”

“… … .”

The last words that came out were probably her true feelings.

So Eunha listened.

When Ryu Yeon-hwa’s completely unexpected words came out of her mouth again, she couldn’t stop laughing.

Why is this sister trying to humble herself like this?

She was <Seolchang>.

It was a being that would become <Shinchang> in the future.

However, from the first time we met until now, she has continued to act as if she humbled herself.

In a way, it was humility.

In some ways, I lacked confidence.

Eunha couldn’t help but feel curious about Ryu Yeon-hwa’s appearance.

Above all─.

─If someone who is <Sinchang> comes, of course we are welcome.

Is there anyone in the world who would reject Ryu Yeon-hwa?

Eunha answered with a satisfied face.

“─Of course. On the contrary, if that happens, I’d like to bow down to my sister and ask her for a favor.”

“… Really?” “Don’t you know how great of a person you are?”

“… … ?”

Ryu Yeon-hwa tilts her head.

Eunha burst out laughing again when she saw the face that seemed to know nothing.

Soon, as if nothing was wrong.

Ryu Yeon-hwa also smiled.

☆

“Now that I think about it.”

Now it was time to return to the labor center booth.

After seeing Yeonhwa off to the main gate of the academy, Eunha looked at her as she opened her mouth, as if she had suddenly remembered something.

“Master told me this once.”

“<Sinchang> “

“Yes.”

“What did you say?”

Across the threshold.

The two people looked at each other.

Now that she had undone the yellow gouache spell, she had hair reminiscent of green hydrangeas.

“A long time ago, someone from the Mana Management Bureau came to me and asked me to help them create a trophy for the overall competition.”

“Oh, I’ve heard that.”

Eunha responded to her story.

, a living myth related to the overall category championship trophy. The story of Namgung Nebula.

It was a story that made the students proud of winning the general category competition.

But there was a hidden story there that even Eunha didn’t know about.

“That… . “Master said it was no fun to just make an ordinary trophy, so he enchanted the trophy.”

“This is my first time hearing this… .”

“I guess as soon as I made it, other people found out and said something to my teacher. “How did they give such magic to a trophy that was used as a token of honor?”

“What kind of magic did you give it?”

“It’s nothing special… .”

Sometimes when I listen to Ryu Yeon-hwa’s story.

<Sinchang>, known to players as a legendary figure, seemed to be a very pleasant person.

Eunha remembered the cheerful appearance of <Shinchang> and smiled bitterly.

Then, unable to contain his curiosity, he asked her.

What kind of magic was given to this trophy, and why were Academy officials completely silent about the magic given to the championship trophy?

After hearing the story, it wasn’t a big deal.

“The trophy looks exactly like a glass.” “Oh, right.”

“So, if you pour alcohol into a trophy and cover the surface of the trophy with your body’s mana, it becomes a refreshing drink due to the power of <freezing>”

“Huh?”

“So the winner gets to drink super cool alcohol… .” “Huh… .”

“And the trophy is really big. The reason the teacher made it so big was because the competition is now over and he wanted to share it with everyone who fought with him, so he made it with that intention… .”

Ryu Yeon-hwa looks embarrassed.

Eunha just listened quietly.

I felt like I knew a story that Academy officials had completely hidden.

“So did your sister do that?”

“No… . “How can you do something like that when it’s a championship trophy?”

Turn your head upside down.

Ryu Yeon-hwa shook her head.

Eunha made the same face as expected and slumped her shoulders.

“But still… . Thinking about it now, I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to make one last memory like that. So I’m a little disappointed.”

Ryu Yeon-hwa’s advice.

Eunha looked at her, who had won the overall competition for three years.

In fact, other than Eun-ah and Chang-jin, she didn’t have many Academy classmates she kept in touch with.

Even though she didn’t say it.

Eunha, who knew <Shinchang> in her previous life, knew it well.

So I could tell that she gave honest advice to herself.

“─Thank you. If I get a chance, I will drink it with the kids.”

“Yes.”

Eunha’s answer.

Ryu Yeon-hwa responded.

Soon she asked.

“But there it is.” “Uh. Why?”

“I didn’t tell you earlier, so what are you doing now that you’re back?”

“Ah… .”

Ryu Yeon-hwa’s question.

Eunha moaned briefly.

In fact, she had been looking at him several times a while ago and asking him what role he played in the cultural festival.

Each time, Eunha avoided answering.

Then he added:

‘─I’ll tell you when I go to my sister’s house.’

It seems that Ryu Yeon-hwa kept remembering the answer.

Eunha smiled bitterly.

“It’s nothing special… .”

“Yes.”

“Speaking of being a labor center, this time the kids planned a job placement center where 3rd grade students could solve their requests.” “Labor center? Placement office?”

“What it means is that employers hire third-year students through auctions and, to put it simply, receive services.”

“… … .”

“It just so happened that I also ended up going to the auction there… .” “… … !”

Eunha didn’t want to talk.

He had no choice but to tell her and let out an awkward laugh.

Anyway, Ryu Yeon-hwa—.

“─If you win the auction, can you do anything?” “Right… ? You must unconditionally obey your employer’s orders until dawn. Well, of course, but you shouldn’t give strange orders.”

“Strange command… .”

It was as if I had been hit with a hammer.

Ryu Yeon-hwa suddenly muttered.

Soon her face turned red at a rapid pace.

Why is this sister’s face turning red so often these days?

What are you thinking?

Eunha was puzzled as she saw her lost in her imagination.

She actually came to her senses─.

“─I didn’t bring much… .”

Suddenly I realized something.

She was visibly downcast.

“… “I’m going to stop.” “Uh… , go carefully.”

Eunha saw Ryu Yeon-hwa off, muttering in a gloomy tone.
