The Academy’s Time Stop Player

The time is 3pm.

Si-young Han, Anna, and Isabella, who arrived in the downtown area, were exploring various restaurants.

“This is some delicious gourmet!”

By the way, Isabella was the tenth to say that.

“Scrumptious!”

Is it from 9 am?

Since then, Isabella has been happily eating food at 10 restaurants.

Even though the stomach of a superhuman is larger than that of a normal person and consumes more calories, she was on a different path.

I ordered three dishes from one restaurant and was processing it by myself.

Yoo Seol-ah looked at Isabella as if she was familiar with it and said,

“Is the food right for you?”

“yes! I don’t know when I’ll come to Korea again, so I’ll have to eat them all!”

Si-Young Han was amazed at how all such food could fit in that small boat. What’s more, Isabella opens her smartphone and finds a restaurant, presumably thinking about eating all of those foods and eating something else.

And as if answering that curiosity, Isabella opened her mouth.

“Don’t get me wrong, I don’t usually eat this much.”

“Is it because of the ability?”

“yes? oh! answer. This is a side effect of my special enchantment magic and ability.”

Depending on the ability, the characteristics of the physical ability vary.

Of course, there are advantages of abilities, but like her, there were also disadvantages.

“Well, I don’t really think it’s a downside.”

Isabella clasps her fork with those words and brightens her eyes.

Looking at her face, it seems like she wants to eat more.

“under… … ate well.”

After eating all the food, she went out to a nearby park for a walk.

For reference, one of the three bodyguards was waiting at the hotel where Ha-Jun was staying, while the other two were secretly watching the children from behind.

“Now that we have lunch, how about chicken for dinner?”

“I’m fine. How about Si-young?”

“… … .”

Han Si-young looked at Yoo Seol-ah with strange eyes.

In fact, it was overshadowed by Isabella’s enormous appetite, but Yoo Seol-ah was also not too much to eat. Well, in a way, the way the ability is used is similar to Isabella, so are the side effects similar? There was a time when Yu Seol-ah’s ability was used a lot.

“So how are you?”

With those words, Isabella smiles and asks Si-Young Han.

Han Si-young just looked at Isabella with a calm eye and gave an answer that had nothing to do with the question.

“Why did you call me?”

“yes?”

“I don’t think you need to call me.”

Han Si-young turned her head and looked at the bodyguards who were secretly following behind them.

At least in terms of grades, he was a superman with superior strength and superior strength.

Isabella, who understood Han Si-young’s words, opened her mouth with a strange smile.

“Huhu, did you notice? right. In terms of hero level, they have skills that are at least equivalent to the highest level and the highest level. To be honest, as you thought, I didn’t need to protect Seolana and that rude child, including you. I called Seol-ah because I didn’t have a chance to do it now, and you just called because I wanted to have a conversation.”

Han Si-young’s eyes slowly narrowed at those words.

Isabella proposed to Han Si-young.

“What… … What I want to say is simple. Won’t you be my partner?”

“partner?”

“That’s right. Are you aware of my abilities?”

Enchantment magic.

It is simply a magic that strengthens all weapons, including Noble Phantasms, but her abilities grow even more.

Her ability called ‘Imprint’ was able to raise not only weapons but also superhuman abilities. Thus, her magic evolved into a buff magic that strengthens the power of a superman, not simply an enchantment magic.

Of course, that’s why many villains were after her.

“But ironically, I can’t use this power on myself. Just like Seol-ah can’t heal herself.”

“… … .”

“So I am looking for someone I can trust. To be honest, I can’t trust anyone who hired me with money. You never know when you will betray with money. is not it?”

With those words, Isabella turned her head to look at the bodyguard.

Her voice was very cold, as if she had any bad memories of the past. And Isabella looking at Han Si-young with a gentle smile again.

Her words continued.

“So I am looking for a partner. In a way, it is a symbiotic relationship. I give strength to my partner and he protects me. What do you think?”

Han Si-young just shook her head at the suggestion.

It was a suggestion that I didn’t even need to think about.

“Don’t refuse.”

“Well… … okay? A chance to receive my buff magic for free for the rest of my life?”

At those words, Han Si-young’s eyebrows narrowed sharply.

Han Si-young said.

“Do you want someone to protect you for the rest of your life?”

“… … What do you want to say?”

Isabella was still smiling at Han Si-young’s words.

However, she felt a bit of anger at her question.

Han Si-young continued.

“Have you never thought of growing up on your own?”

“yes? Did you just not hear me? You can’t use this power on me?”

“Is that the only way to become stronger?”

Shut up at that word! her expression contorted.

She asserted to Han Si-young.

“I thought of another way. But my grandfather said, I can’t grow any more than this.”

“Why are you entrusting your chances to someone else?”

“… … What?”

Isabella is the first to be embarrassed by those words.

Isabella looked at Han Si-young.

And Han Si-young shook her head and continued.

“Even if the person who said that was a great hero, I would believe in myself.”

“What do you know… … .”

“Because my master told me that too.”

“… … .”

At that, her expression went blank for a moment.

Seol-ah Yoo also looked at Si-young Han as if she was at a loss for words.

There was only one person who said that Si-Young Han was Master.

Great Hero Sword King… … .

“I will ask you one thing.”

Despite their reaction, Han Si-young did not care and asked Isabella a question.

“If you want someone to keep you like that.”

And Han Si-young’s words caused a ripple in Isabella’s heart.

“What would you do if someone died protecting you?”

* * *

It’s 1:00 in the morning when the cold night wind blows.

She couldn’t sleep despite the late dawn, and she sat on a nearby bench outside the hotel for a moment, immersed in deep thought.

Her mind was complicated.

As Han Si-young said, I had never even thought of such a simple thought.

That’s because the person who protected him until now was the great hero Grandpa.

“under… … .”

Isabella sighed and stood up.

If such a situation arises, how will Seol-ah act?

At least Seol-ah, who she knew, was responsible.

You’ll probably sacrifice yourself to save people.

Then I… … .

What will I do if such a situation arises?

I couldn’t really imagine. Because that never happened.

So she moved again, got on the elevator, and went up to the top floor of the hotel. Arriving on the top floor, which only VIPs can use, Isabella slowly moved heavy steps toward the bathroom.

“Ugh!”

He washed his face with cold water and checked his face in the mirror.

A strangely wrinkled face.

Chop! Chop! She patted her cheek and woke up.

Seriously, it’s not going to solve the problem even if you’re desperate like this.

Let’s solve the dungeon attack first and think again.

So it was time to go back home.

“… … ?”

For a moment, she felt something and stopped walking.

This one is for that lil chicken owl

Nausea.

Obviously, he was the only one in this bathroom.

Still, she felt a strange pretense of popularity, so she closed her eyes while hiding her embarrassment.

‘… … .’

And I felt the magic around me.

This one is for that lil chicken owl

Next moment.

Isabella felt the presence of a huge magical power beneath her feet.

“after… … .”

Isabella took a deep breath.

After walking out of the bathroom naturally.

widely!!

He sprinted to the ground and ran quickly.

Soon after, a huge shadow flickering under her feet followed Isabella, and in an instant, began to cover Isabella’s entire body.

“Ugh! who!! town… … .”

Isabella immediately tried to shout, but the shadow that covered her entire body reached her mouth in an instant and blocked her.

Still, Isabella struggled and moved on.

The body collapsed, and her body began to be gradually drawn into the shadows.

‘Oh, no!’

Her eyes trembled in embarrassment.

Soon after, she quickly looked around and her gaze turned to the dormitory where Ha-jun was staying.

There was no one else to turn to for help now.

“town!”

Isabella reached out with all her might.

I slowly crawled towards the door of the dorm where Ha-jun was. The shadow stretched out in dark lines, pulling her body into the shadow.

This one is for that lil chicken owl

Nevertheless, with all her might, she slowly approached Ha-jun’s dorm.

The moment I put Ha-jun’s door in front of me and try to reach out.

Han Si-young’s words suddenly came to mind.

– What would you do if someone died protecting you?

‘… … .’

The moment that word came to mind.

Isabella relaxed her whole body.

Realizing something, she regretted reaching out and slowly closed her eyes, and the shadow swallowed her as it was.

The shadow that engulfed her whole body looked at the dormitory that Isabella was going to head to. Then he crawled on the floor and entered the dormitory through the gap in the door, where there was a boy lying on the bed with a carefree face and snoring.

“aah!あ! Kreung~”

A boy scratching his stomach and sleeping peacefully.

And the shadow that confirmed the boy’s face.

Immediately, a hand reached out from the shadows, pulled out handcuffs made of black iron, and carefully placed them on the boy’s wrist.

The moment he was about to put the boy into the shadows.

“… … yes?”

The boy opened his eyes.

* * *

‘… … Why is he here now?’

As soon as Ha-jun opened his eyes, he activated the time stop.

I was just thinking about the situation that happened to me.

‘This is his ability no matter how you look at it… … .’

The ability of the head of Bars, Borgel, is ‘Shadow’.

The ability to hide in shadows and to draw someone into the shadows.

He used this ability in the game to sneak into a hotel and kidnap her, so he knew it well.

If there was a problem, why did this guy appear today?

‘It’s not a penalty if you see that the system notification window doesn’t appear… … .’

This one is for that lil chicken owl

No, if you think about it, is it normal?

The original raid takes place tomorrow night.

In the game, Isabella arrived tomorrow on schedule.

However, it seems that Isabella has moved up the schedule because of Yoo Seol-ah.

‘Well, more than that… … .’

Hajun’s gaze turned to the shadow.

Judging by the situation, it seemed that this guy was trying to kidnap him.

When you see him dragging you into the shadows, it’s clear it’s kidnapping, not killing.

Ha-jun, who stared blankly at the shadow, thought for a moment.

‘Well… … .’

Ha-jun, who had good judgment, released the time stop as it was.

Then, she put her hands on her stomach and closed her eyes comfortably.

Then, the shadow slowly swallowed Hajun’s entire body.

Borgel.

I couldn’t see him, but Ha-jun’s lips were raised.
