Wizard Reading Patterns

Episode 73. Survival missions (7)

Near Tohamsan Mountain in Gyeongju.

The SkyTeam atmosphere was heavy.

We fought all night over the cooking mission. SkyTeam failed the cooking mission on the first day.

“Guys. Are you going to blow our 150 points?”

“I can never do it.”

“So do i. You just have to do well in the upcoming exam.”

“It’s not the score that matters, it’s that you have to starve.”

“Then how about you trim?”

The monster was easily caught, but no one came out to groom it.

On one side of the campsite, there were charred corpses of monsters. He tried to bake it and put it in his mouth, but failed.

I starved for 24 hours. Still, I never thought of cooking.

All five of them had the same idea.

Even if I had to finish last in this mission, I would never do anything like grooming monsters.

Wei Ying.

I saw a blimp landing right near the campsite. This is the C-747 model that students boarded when moving.

SkyTeam had a glimmer of hope.

‘Are you trying to hand out energy capsules?’

‘but. We can’t let them starve to death.’

Soon after, Jia Han appeared.

“good morning.”

“”Hello professor.””

“OK. Do you think I should tell you something I’m sorry for? Roger Meyer. I had to come home urgently because something urgent happened at home. Hurry up and pack your things.”

The children were so embarrassed that they could not speak. It was embarrassing, but it was the same with Rose.

“Is it urgent?”

“I don’t think this is an issue to discuss here.”

Rosé’s heart thumped and sank.

“I hope Jeremy… … .”

“I told you. It’s not an issue to discuss here. Pack your things.”

“… … yes.”

While Rose is packing her things.

the rest of the team asked.

“Then what about us? What is your score?”

100 points are deducted for each team member eliminated.

Jia Han answered the question.

“There will be no deductions. You guys are considered as a group of 4, and if all 4 of you finish, there will be a finish bonus.”

“Still, it wouldn’t be fair if there were only four of us.”

“that’s right.”

“okay? There is already a team with four people who have already given up and one left. Shall I put it this way?”

“Who is that?”

“why. Are you going to accept a good friend or not?”

“no. I’ll get it! We really need that one. Right, guys?”

Jia Han checked the charred corpse of the monster with a sidelong glance.

‘So, you need someone to groom the monsters for, right?’

“Once I got it. It can’t be helped if that friend refuses.”

“no way. It can’t be. Be sure to go with SkyTeam! Please talk.”

In the meantime, Rose came out with her luggage.

One of the team members looked at Rosé and talked.

“Rosé. Can’t you give me a protective suit and go? Maybe one more of us will come. It’s a bit like if he’s the only one without a suit.”

“Anyway.”

Rosé handed over the suit she had brought without saying anything. Anyway, my teammates are suffering because of me now.

Jia Han didn’t say anything in particular.

SkyTeam is now a group of four.

Jia Han decided that.

“You know roughly that you’re in the lead right now, right? Do your best until the end.”

“yes!”

“Good job then.”

The airship carrying Jia Han and Rosé took off.

Rose asked cautiously.

“Where are you going?”

“Echo Base Airport. Your people will be waiting for you over there.”

“Why?”

“well. I don’t know the details either.”

Jia Han kept quiet.

I couldn’t brag about what was written on a chirashi to a student.

“It’s not about Jeremy. That’s for sure.”

“yes. That’s all it was. Thank you professor.”

There was an awkward silence for a while.

First of all, Jia Han did not like Silas Meyer, the old man who represents Mage Tower. It’s not that I have ill feelings towards Rose, though.

Why, even if there is no finger that doesn’t hurt from biting ten fingers, there is always a finger that hurts more, right?

Rosé is a less painful finger. A child who doesn’t make an accident even if left alone and does well on his own.

It was true that he was less interested.

“I really enjoyed watching the chatter of celebrities. I also kept it on my phone. I tried to bring it to practice. I was a little bored because you confiscated my phone.”

“… … okay?”

“I laughed a lot while holding on to that hair. I must have looked back at least 30 times.”

Jia Han was genuinely surprised.

Rosé has always been a quiet child.

I never thought she would come to me in such a private conversation.

“I’m glad you enjoyed it. I wish we had appeared together. Was Jeremy there too?”

“I hate attention. I don’t even have the personality to do that.”

“Well, it can be.”

“professor.”

“huh?”

“I like that professor.”

suddenly?

“… … what?”

“No, I respect you. This expression would be more appropriate.”

PSS wind leaked from Jia Han’s nose.

oh my god.

What the hell is going on today?

“okay? I had no idea.”

“He has skills and is always confident and humorous. You have everything I didn’t have. I envy you.”

“Hey! If I could look like you for just one day, I would have no wish.”

It wasn’t 100% sincere, it was just a moderate response to Rosé’s praise. It’s so pretty too.

The reason why Rose is talking is because she is nervous.

I still don’t know why, but for some reason it just didn’t feel right. It occurred to me that I might never be able to go back to school.

“Does the professor have any weaknesses?”

“hmm. Others say it’s perfect?”

“but… … .”

Jia Han trembled as if in a fit and hit back.

“What are you doing?”

Rosé smiled weakly without answering.

‘hmm. Do you have any idea why? Did you really have a rare disease?’

“It’s a weakness, though. The downsides are numerous. A typical example would be a bad temper.”

“Big.”

Rosé covered her mouth with one hand and giggled.

Jia Han stared at Rosé for a while, stunned.

‘There are no real angels.’

Who called Rose a cold beauty?

If I had seen her smile even once, I wouldn’t have said that.

Why is this pretty kid who smiles so well and is usually expressionless?

“I will land soon. Are you wearing your seat belt?”

“yes.”

Echo Base is less than 30 minutes away from Gyeongju.

“right. How are you going to do the academy battle? Is there a sport you want to compete in?”

“hmm… … I want to try multiple skits.”

“also. Maybe Jeremy is the gold medalist in that event?”

“yes.”

In the multiple skeet event, the magicians who represent the school from generation to generation participate.

There were three students that Jia Han was paying attention to.

Alicia, Danji, and Rosé.

In the last Daejeon, Jeremy won the gold medal, but the multiple skeet was originally an event in which female students were dominant.

The reason Rosé had multiple skits in mind was because it was an individual event. Since I have an illness, it was burdensome to move as a team.

“Then be careful on your way back.”

“Thank you for taking me. and me… … .”

“huh?”

“I want to continue going to school. I’ll go.”

The way back to Korean soil.

Jia Han had many thoughts.

‘What do you mean? Who’s going to stop me from going to school?’

After all, people have to experience it to know.

Jia Han discovered the shade of Rosé, which was hidden behind her bright appearance and blunt expression, only today.

why don’t you say something like that

People who laugh well are said to have more scars.

Perhaps even Roger Mayer was hiding his scars behind an expressionless mask.

Meanwhile, the campsite where the Zordic twins are staying.

The sisters greeted the morning together in a tiny single-person tent.

Courtney took out a cosmetic container the size of her palm from her bag.

“Jerk the. Aren’t they all busy ripping off monsters?”

“Feed me.”

The twins crushed the energy capsules and put them in a powder container. Because she usually wears heavy makeup, the instructors passed without question.

Even the micro drones did not monitor the inside of the tent. Katarina took the energy powder and rinsed her mouth with water.

“Originally, if you are ignorant, your body suffers.”

“I know yeah.”

Courtney put the powder canister in and pulled out two red headbands this time.

“braided! Rosé, that b*tch must have been in a frenzy by now?”

“Then why are you touching us? Is it because our rose doesn’t like overlapping accessories?”

Katarina laughed, copying what Jeremy had said earlier.

Courtney snorted and passed a headband to her sister.

“Shiba. I’m really dumbfounded. At least I endured it because it was Jeremy’s senior. If it was another bastard, I’d rip off its snout.”

Outside, three twin followers were cooking monsters.

The meat I brought last night was wrapped in plastic and put in a bag. I was about to throw it away after watching it moderately.

Courtney said while lying on her stomach and drawing eyeliner.

“Eh. Anyway, what about the finale? It would be nice to have a free team at the end of the term.”

The three members of the team this time are all male students, and their skills are intermediate among the remaining students. These were kids without sponsors.

The twins brought them into the team on the condition that they pay for their tuition until graduation.

Katarina wore a red headband and smiled contentedly.

“More than that, it’s the club. Shouldn’t it be cooked properly?”

“don’t worry. Because I have an idea.”

The twins are the first superhumans from the Zordic family. Young Zordyck gave the twins anything they wanted.

The twins believed in the power of money.

In terms of money, it was more than the Mayer family. As long as there was money, there was nothing to fear in the world.

Katarina spoke while wearing greenish circle lenses.

“right. did you hear that Moving to the club complex, Sunrise River Sky.”

“What is it? Even so, it’s just a bug crawling on the ground. How dare we, who live on the island in the sky, be worms? never let me go X year.”

“But it’s a bit embarrassing. who is the sponsor? Aren’t you a very high person in our family that you can’t dig out?”

“Calm down, Katarina. 8th in our ranks. There are only seven families higher than us.”

“That’s right. lol. Shall we go?”

“okay.”

After finishing their makeup, the twins smiled brightly as they opened the zipper of the tent.

“Good morning, boys.”

“Are you sleeping well? Woody little Geminis?”

Gemini, Gemini.

It was the name of the Zordic sisters’ fan club.

* * *

Two days of practice.

The Revolution team ran towards the race checkpoint.

Dante looked at Jun Mori, who was leading the way.

‘I’ve been holding up well so far… … .’

For Jun, stepping down the dirty road, no, even being out of the base would have been a hardship in itself.

Most of the students dream of a desk job in the Mage Tower, but Dante was more attracted to field jobs. Frankly, having a wizard sit in an office is a waste of talent.

‘Still, I hope that Chun will become an office worker.’

Or will the disease be cured before then?

As we entered downtown Gyeongju, we could see defense patterns everywhere.

‘what?’

There’s no way the bums used defense capsules.

Could it be that superhumans who are said to have joined the LNP are staying around here?

Dante slowed down for a moment and checked the GPS.

‘It looks like the checkpoint is near the shield over there… … .’

but.

There was no way that the LNP would have been set as a checkpoint.

D.O and Jun Mori, who were in front of them, stopped walking.

“hey. Are there any legs left here?”

“I don’t think it’s left over, it’s like it’s new. Also this sign here. I thought it was Korean?”

At the word Korean, the club site flew and landed in front of the bridge.

“That’s Korean. It says Kyochon Bridge. It must be the name of the bridge.”

A large shield was visible just northeast of the bridge.

It was the same pattern as the defense shield covering downtown Agras.

“Since we’re almost there, let’s tag first.”

The place we arrived was in front of a low stone tower.

The instructor was waiting.

‘tower? Bunker entrance? Are you on a mission here?’

While the children were observing the tower with curious faces, the instructor opened his mouth.

“What you are looking at is a ruin called Chun Sheng Dung. An astronomical observatory built in AD 633.”

Is this an observatory?

But how do you stay?

Gudanji corrected the instructor’s pronunciation with a creeping voice.

“It’s not Cheomseongdae, it’s Cheomseongdae… … .”
