The quiet Eun-gwang High School due to the third-year students’ school trip.

Even though the reckless Class 0 seniors who would cause trouble at any moment were absent, Andain used the break time to patrol.

Eun-gwang High School has strong teachers like Ham Geun-hyung, Im Yeon-hwa, and Gong Cheong-hwan, and there are quite a few excellent first and second-year students, and the barrier is still intact, so the possibility of the school being attacked was quite low.

From the enemy’s perspective, it would be more efficient to attack the Dragon Clan’s territory than to target Eun-gwang High School right now.

That’s why both Jo Ui-shin and Eun-ho thought that Eun-gwang High School was unlikely to be targeted, but Andain couldn’t just sit still.

‘Eui-shin is making a rare suggestion, and everyone is fighting. I want to do something too.’

Andain thought about the attendance situation of Class 0, Grade 2.

Currently, more than half of the total number of absentees in Class 0 were absent.

Kim Yu-ri, Baek-ho, Jo Ui-shin, Han-i, Hwang Ji-ho, and Yong Je-geon, who are in Jeju Island.

Dokgo Mi-ro, In-seon Oh, who is attending the PlayerZ event.

Song Dae-seok, who responded to the emergency call-up of the association satellite team.

Jin Jeong-muk, who recently went to Gyeryongsan Mountain to receive teachings from a famous calligrapher, saying that practicing calligraphy is difficult.

Sa-wol Se-eum, who went to play with her juniors in Class 0, who said that they have not seen Jo Ui-shin recently and that class is not fun.

‘It’s not all, but there are many children who are absent because they are fighting fiercely.’

There were some students who were absent for reasons that Andain could not understand, but most of them were absent to respond to the Jeju Island school trip incident.

Knowing this, Ham Geun-hyeong made a sinister expression when he saw the empty classroom, but he said nothing.

While Andain was patrolling what seemed like a walk, she ran into Ham Geun-hyung, who was also patrolling the campus, and he was checking the news from Jeju Island.

But then and now, there was no news that stood out.

‘A large number of rare aliens occurred in Jeju Island. Due to abnormal weather, shelters, navigation bans, and fishing operations were ordered. Communication failure in the Jeju Island tomorrow area. All of these are news that only people living nearby would pay attention to.’

The only news that caught her attention was news about signs of an eruption on Mt. Halla.

This was because the news that the third-year students from Eun Kwang High School were going to climb Mt. Halla today had already spread.

However, the photo attached to the article simply looked like Mt. Halla was covered in clouds, so it didn’t create much tension.

A few comments from people who knew the schedules of the Eun Kwang High School students and Hongryong fans wished for their safe return, but they were quickly buried by other articles.

Another thing that stood out was that there were a few strange articles about the volcanic eruption.

It was an article that concluded that the cause of the volcanic eruption was the players who climbed the mountain, especially Hongryong Yeom Jun-yeol, who was famous for handling fire.

Andain scraped the article and read it all, checking the reporter's name and the articles he had written so far.

'It feels different from the malicious comments about me and Yisin. Real reporters wrote articles based on malicious intent, but using credible data and real situations.'

In particular, one reporter seemed to want to send Yeom Jun-yeol to hell, endlessly suggesting the possibility of a runaway and the resulting volcanic eruption.

He also wrote in detail about what would happen if someone with the blood of the Jin clan ran wild, but Hongryong's fans who saw that description laughed loudly.

The article itself was logical and had solid evidence, but the timing and content were very poor.

The content of the article was no different from the textual description of Yeom Jun-yeol's new ability, Hongryonghwa, which was revealed today, so it was bound to be criticized.

[Isn't it too transparent why this article came out at the same time as the Hongryonghwa reveal? LOL]

[I've seen enough of this nonsense, so go now.]

[Oh, look at that disgusting article; Junyeol, please leave him aloneㅠㅠㅠㅗ]

[You described a kid who isn't even an adult like some kind of potential criminalㅁㅊ Our Junyeol is a minor, you crazy kids]

[(((((Hongryong)))))]

[(((((Junyeol)))))]

[I think this reporter commented on Hongryong's official channel too, how long will it take until the red lion and dragon clan get sick?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[↑Since it's almost the weekend, a week if we take it easy?ㅋㅋ I think you've already captured all the screenshots, so I took a picture of mine and sent it just in caseㅋㅋ]

The reporter who wrote the article couldn't come to his senses even after getting hit hard in the comments on the article, and he kept repeating the article link and the dangers of that ability in the Hongryonghwa teaser video.

If he had just written the article, he wouldn't have been in big trouble, but the moment he went to a place where Yeom Junyeol's family and fans were and caused a scene, he was sure to get sick.

This was a golden opportunity to send a star player to hell, and there were signs of a volcanic eruption, so the reporter couldn’t give up on this easily.

Sometimes, humans risk their pride, property, and lives for something so ridiculous and trivial, and for that reporter, this was that moment.

After reading all the articles and comments just once, Andain erased her thoughts about the reporter and thought about her friends and seniors who were fighting there.

‘If an article of this level is even a hot topic, then things must not be going so wrong. If I were fighting there myself, I wouldn’t be so anxious... ... .’

Andain soon thought of her parents who had spoken out loud to her for the first time.

It was common for a couple to express their emotions, such as joy, sadness, and emotion, so aggressively and actively that they would shed tears, but it was unusual for them to do so to directly reject Andain’s opinions.

Her blood-related parents had unilaterally rejected Andain, so there was nothing to fight about, so this was the first time she had such conflicting opinions with her family.

I understood that my parents were worried about Andain and couldn’t send her away, but besides being able to fight together, the argument itself was painful.

Even so, Andain still had different thoughts from her parents.

A groundless conviction.

‘Long ago, you said that you had to separate from your parents because of the evil darkness. But did I wait for thousands of years knowing how much my parents suffered? Even now, I’m trying so hard?’

Andain’s eyes, which seemed to have frozen, sank even colder than usual.

While heading to the classroom, Joo Soo-hyuk noticed those eyes from afar and spoke to them without realizing it.

“Dain, recess is about to end.”

“Soo-hyuk.......”

Joo Soo-hyuk and Andain looked at each other for a moment.

The two knew well how they were intertwined in this matter.

Jo Ui-shin had a big change of heart during the exchange, so he decided to fight together with Joo Soo-hyuk and Andain after summer vacation.

Jo Ui-shin actively persuaded the clan to arrange Joo Soo-hyeok’s intervention, and he also told Anda-in without hiding it.

Jo Ui-shin did his best to naturally make the two close and create an opportunity to fight together, and the two were deeply moved by this.

From Jo Ui-shin’s perspective, there were other reasons besides acknowledging their skills, but in any case, the fact that a friend had come to ask for their cooperation meant a lot to Joo Soo-hyeok and Anda-in. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

In the end, the two did nothing about this incident.

‘Da-in is not only unable to participate in this operation, but is also suffering from conflict with her family. It will be difficult for me to understand everything and comfort her.’

Joo Soo-hyeok’s eyes also sank at the sadness in Anda-in’s eyes.

However, Anda-in’s heart warmed just by feeling that Joo Soo-hyeok was worried about her and was looking for words to comfort her.

A gentle warmth gradually returned to Andain’s eyes as she stared at Joo Soo-hyuk, but Joo Soo-hyuk was desperately searching for a way to comfort her, so he didn’t notice it.

‘How would Eui-shin have comforted Da-in?’

He hesitated a little because he thought of her as a rival, but when he thought about Joo Soo-hyuk, he saw an answer.

Now, there wasn’t much time left for recess, and the classrooms where they were taking classes were quite far apart.

Andain was anxious enough to patrol during ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) recess, and in fact, Joo Soo-hyuk was doing the same thing, just taking a different route.

Joo Soo-hyuk said in a light tone.

“I skipped class with Eui-shin and Hyo-don before, and it was fun.”

“Have you ever done that? I wish I could have gone with you.”

“How about going now?”

Andain opened her eyes wide.

No one had ever suggested that Andain, who had been a model student her entire life, skip class.

“It would be nice to skip class together and go on patrol, spar, or read books.”

In a way, it was a date, and most of the students of Eun Gwang High School, including Moon Sae-ron, would have shouted, ‘Just ask her out on a date!’

Of course, Joo Soo-hyuk’s suggestion was purely to help a friend who was having a hard time.

“Yeah, let’s go together.”

However, when Andain smiled so brightly that the flowers in full bloom lost their light, Joo Soo-hyuk only then realized what he had suggested.

The moment he saw the evil darkness covering the outside of the wall of fire, he realized that the enemy’s numbers were heavier and more terrifying than he had assumed.

Considering the direction in which the darkness was coming, Yong Je-geon and Yeom Bang-yeol would have failed to stop Gung-gi.

If they had succeeded, they would have at least joined me before that darkness.

‘But we can escape. ‘Because the concept of space was messed up, it became easy to move through space here too.’

As Song Dae-seok saw through the association satellite, the space of Hallasan was very distorted.

However, there were still many on this side.

Song Dae-seok’s observation ability and insight, and Yong Je-geon and I who handled space magic.

If even one of these was missing, it would have been difficult to understand and control space, but I came prepared to use it in reverse.

The dragon tribe had come to ask permission to touch the Black Dragon Palace, which they claimed to be theirs, so I made a wish to Yong Je-geon in exchange for returning the Black Dragon Palace to the dragon tribe.

‘Yong Je-geon would have granted my wish. So now I have to deal with this evil darkness.’

Just before the researcher materialized the evil darkness, I used the title heroine Andain’s card.

No matter how much poison was accumulated, it would not work on Andain’s ‘unique constitution.’

This is already a wasteland in this world, even in Plumago.

This was confirmed when Howa Kwonjein and the frozen otherworld were conquered.

“Ugh.......”

“I can’t breathe.......”

As the poison spread and the evil darkness covered them, the researcher’s subordinates fell one by one.

The evil darkness seemed to be unbearable unless they were quite capable or evil.

The researcher must have lost his ability because of the poison, but his voice grew louder as the evil darkness grew thicker.

“Haha, hahaha! My body feels lighter!”

While researching the poison and the rampage inducer, I couldn’t figure out what kind of evil karma he had accumulated to adapt so well to the evil darkness.

However, looking at the researcher’s appearance, a sense of discomfort gradually grew inside me.

The researcher wasn’t the only one who was okay in the evil darkness right now.

‘Why am I not affected by the evil darkness?’

The question didn’t last long.

Something melted in the darkness was slowly approaching me.

The surroundings were dark, making it difficult to secure a field of vision, and the darkness tried to block out any senses other than sight, but I could clearly feel its presence.

It was such a terrible sensation that I thought the other person’s emotions were materializing and sticking to my skin.

“Hello.”

It was Gung-gi’s voice.

Gung-gi could move silently in the darkness, but he walked while deliberately emitting a presence.

Gung-gi flapped his wings once and stopped in front of me.

“Hey, can you take off your mask?”
