The Academy’s Time Stop Player

When Elaine screamed and explained why she was angry, Hajun couldn’t help but panic a little.

“So… … , did I say that?”

“Why are you pretending not to know?”

Hearing her reason, Ha-jun had nothing to say to her.

That’s right, Ha-jun thought it was just garbage even if he heard it.

To summarize what he heard, after his parents died and his family collapsed, he abandoned his younger brother Elaine and ran away alone.

While he was running away, he stole all the money from the family.

That wasn’t enough, he stole the family’s Noble Phantasm, then abandoned his younger brother and ran away.

“… … .”

Ha-jun was speechless for a moment and looked at Elaine.

When I heard the reason, I couldn’t come up with any specific excuses.

Anna, who was next to him, was also looking at Ha-jun with a surprised face.

Anna thought about something for a moment, then pulled Ha-jun’s collar and called Ha-jun.

“Mr. Ha-Jun. Come out for a second. ‘Cause I’ve got something to say Then excuse me, Miss Elaine.”

And Ha-jun was dragged out by Anna without saying anything, and when the dorm door was closed, Anna put pressure on her with an unknown smile and asked for an explanation.

“I’m not in a position to get involved in other people’s family affairs, but I still need an explanation. What happened?”

“Well… … .”

“Mr. Ha-Jun? no way… … ?”

“I don’t know either.”

“yes? No, you keep giving vague answers since a while ago, what are you talking about?”

This one is for that lil chicken owl

No, I don’t know, so the answer is vague.

When I asked him about something he couldn’t even remember, Ha-jun had nothing to say.

On the contrary, Ha-jun was to the point of being embarrassed now.

‘I thought he was a normal guy because he was a playable character… … , what the hell are you doing?’

River Lafilton Phil Erman.

Since it is the only character that Ha-Jun could not play, of course, Ha-Jun had no choice but to know the genre of this guy’s play.

Still, I thought he had a good personality because he was a playable character… … .

First of all, excuses took precedence over that.

And that was the only excuse I could make right now.

Hajun said.

“Actually, I don’t remember.”

“yes? what is that… … , no way?! Amnesia?!”

“… … .”

Of course, Ha-jun didn’t answer.

For once, Anna’s sage’s eyes could see through the lies.

Of course, I didn’t answer the last word on purpose, because if I answered the last word, the lie could be detected. And again, Anna, who confirmed the truth through the eyes of a sage, opened her mouth as if embarrassed.

“After listening to everything Miss Elaine said earlier, there were no lies.”

“under… … , yes… … .”

At least, Elaine’s anger was sincere even from Hajun’s point of view.

All those words couldn’t have been a lie.

“Uh, um… … . I didn’t just give you one shot before… … . Then I would have been a little less angry.”

“… … .”

I wanted to refute that if he had been hit by one, he would have gone to the goal, but from the standpoint of a criminal, Ha-Jun had nothing to say.

“What are you going to do now?”

“What should I do… … , you should apologize.”

Of course it’s not my fault… … , Now that I see that state, I feel like I should apologize.

First of all, there’s something you need to hear from him.

Ha-jun opened the door again and entered the dorm with Anna.

And Elaine crosses her arms and still looks at Ha-joon with a dissatisfied expression on her face.

Elaine said.

“If I don’t have anything else to say, can I just leave?”

Hajun looked at Elaine like that for a moment.

Elaine looks at herself with contemptuous eyes.

However, Ha-jun, who is not used to apologizing, was thinking about how to apologize for a while.

This one is for that lil chicken owl

No, even if you apologize in the first place, shouldn’t you be able to make a sincere apology only if you feel a little bit of remorse?

Perhaps for that reason, it was impossible to apologize to Ha-jun to make him feel sincere.

Therefore, the apple that came out of Ha-jun’s mouth was a very monotonous and short one.

“sorry.”

“… … hey!!”

It was Elaine who eventually burst into the apple.

* * *

Boo-woong-.

It was when Ha-jun stayed at the dormitory, and Anna took Elaine back home by limousine.

Anna thought that there was nothing good about going with Ha-jun anyway.

Anna slyly turned her head to look at Elaine.

Elaine looked out the window and was in deep thought.

“I… … .”

Anna, who was next to her at that time, cautiously called out Elaine.

Anna asked, looking at Elaine with a soft smile.

“Are you Ha-jun’s younger brother?”

“Are you Ha-jun? Are you talking about your brother?”

“uh? Do you have any other names?”

“under… … , where the hell was that person and what was he doing. That’s not the original name.”

“Then what was your original name?”

At those words, Elaine looked at Anna with wide open eyes.

Then Elaine sighed and answered Anna’s question.

“under… … , My brother’s name is River. It used to be a longer name, but I can’t remember it now.”

“ah… … , that was the original name.”

“Yeah, more than that, what’s your relationship with your brother?”

At those words, Anna smiled sweetly and calmly opened her mouth to Elaine.

“It’s my friend. school friend.”

“It’s a school… … , Does your brother go to school?”

“yes. I am attending Loki Academy.”

“Lo, Loki Academy!? That Korean sage is there!?”

At the same time as those words, Elaine’s eyes began to twinkle.

Elaine started asking questions to Anna with a look of interest, or in a way, a little bit of excitement, rather than the cold eyes she had before.

“Ugh! Then you must have met Princess Anna and Han Si-young!”

For reference, Anna had not yet taken off her sunglasses and mask.

So I just can’t figure it out.

Anna replied awkwardly to Elaine’s words.

“Uh, um… … , yes. I’m close with Siyoung.”

“Wow… … Actually, it is my dream to enter the Rockia Academy.”

“Huhu, is that right?”

Anna listened to Elaine, who looked excited with a friendly smile, and listened to everything.

“Liam Martell sunbaenim and Harna Ruel sunbaenim?”

“I’m also friendly with those kids. Of course, Liam is a bit talkative.”

“Wow… … , I’m actually preparing for the entrance exam for the Rockia Academy. I’m going to try and pass.”

“Miss Elaine would do it. Most of all, you are Ha-jun’s younger brother.”

“yes? ah… … , uh?”

With those words, it was Elaine who realized something in an instant.

“Uh, maybe the name my brother was using as a pseudonym… … .”

“It’s Hajun.”

“Ha-Jun… … .”

For a moment, Elaine’s expression turned into astonishment.

She looked at Anna with a slightly puzzled expression and shook her head.

“No, it can’t be. hey maybe… … .”

And Anna, who had no idea what Elaine was thinking, just thought she was cute.

Anna looked at Elaine with a friendly smile again and asked a question slowly.

“Then Miss Elaine. May I ask you a question?”

“A question?”

“yes. The old ha- no, what kind of person was your brother?”

Elaine pouted her lips for a moment at those words and was contemplating.

She remembered her older brother.

“I don’t really remember. Still, he was a very stiff person.”

My older brother was cold.

His expression was so blunt that he had no idea what he was thinking.

When I think about it now, I thought that I had an adult side that wasn’t my age.

“Every day, I went into the library with a blunt expression on my face and read only books. I look like a completely different person now, but I can recognize them because they have the same face.”

And the older brother Elaine remembers was intelligent.

Because he was smart enough to implement magic at the age of 10 at the time.

“The hair was great too. I secretly hid in my study and watched my brother implement his magic. Dardam, who taught my brother at the time, also said he was a genius.”

When I think of the memories of that time, there was a memory that came to mind naturally.

I remember when I sneaked into my study and begged my brother to play.

When I went to play like that, he would sometimes hang out with me, but he was an older brother who started ignoring me as if it was annoying from a certain point. Of course, at the time, they always had the same expression, so I didn’t know what they were thinking, but it was clear that they were annoyed and hated.

Otherwise, there would be no way I would have left and left myself like that.

“Anyway, it was very different from now. And he wasn’t the type of person to bow his head so easily.”

“… … okay.”

After hearing all those words, Anna calmly nodded and answered.

However, it is clear that the past Mr. Ha-jun that I heard from her has been compared a lot to the present.

Meanwhile, Ha-jun stayed in the dormitory and lay in bed.

Elaine would be uncomfortable if she followed her anyway.

“Well… … , what more can you do than that?”

The reason I came to see her was, of course, to ask about River.

River is also a playable character, so there will be a main episode.

However, looking at the situation now, it was not a situation to ask normally.

What has he done in the past… … .

“Twitter-.”

I just can’t go back… … .

Thirling-.

“yes?”

At that moment, Hajun’s phone rang.

Ha-jun picked up his smartphone and answered the call.

The caller was Loeli Hills of the Hermes Guild.

-Hello~ Have you arrived in England?

“Yes, what are you doing?”

-Hey. Did I interpret some of the contents of the letter you gave me last time? can you tell me now?

“A letter?”

Are you referring to the letter with the code?

When I first saw it, it was written in a language that wasn’t English, so I asked the Hermes Guild, but it seems like it was interpreted.

“So what is it about?”

-Of course, I haven’t interpreted everything yet, and it’s not that important. To simply summarize, ‘Please Elaine.’ interpreted the word

“Is this Elaine?”

Elaine.

In other words, I’m asking for my sister… … .

‘I can guess who wrote the letter… … .’

It was Ha-jun who became even more embarrassed when he found out the contents of the letter.

The person who wrote this letter must have been River’s parents… … .

Did he know the contents of this letter and then abandon his brother?

It was a fact that Ha-Jun did not know.

-ah! Still, I have some more information.

“… … What information?”

-Liver Lafilton Phil Erman. I found the address of the Erman family’s former residence.

“The address of the mansion?”

Ha-joon’s ears perked up at her words.

First of all, it was the most helpful information given the current situation.

“Where are you?”

-Yeah, I’ll tell you right now, so see you later.

Meanwhile at that time.

At a guild chief’s office in England.

“Tea, I found it!”

There was a white-haired, skinny middle-aged man with a sharp impression.

He watched the video streaming on the monitor, his hands trembling in disbelief.

And he looks at the boy with dark hair in the video.

Although the color of his hair had changed a lot, the face itself was clearly the kid who disappeared 7 years ago.

“Seven, seven years, River.”

puddle-.

He clenched his teeth and clasped his hands.

His clenched hands were trembling and bleeding.

He was glaring at the boy in the video with a demon-like expression.

The madness surrounding his anger could be felt in his eyes.

“You came back after 7 years.”
