chapter 29
Since the students have such good appetite, the cafeteria is operated in a buffet style.
Dozens of types of food.
The type of food served also varies depending on the day of the week and the season.
‘Fat and carbohydrates are minimal, calories are filled mainly with protein.’
Eating is part of training.
Before entering school, he lived on three meals a day with tough chicken breasts piled up in the freezer, but now it’s different.
Glazed beef and fresh salmon.
A bit of freshly fried, crispy tempura and a bit of dessert to make up for the sugar that has fallen off.
The moment I was about to settle down in the corner with a plate full of food in my hands, I felt an intense gaze directed at me.
‘Living?’
No, it’s different from living.
A warm gaze that would not be strange to mistake for living.
With her gaze fixed, she rolled her eyeballs to confirm the identity of that gaze.
‘Some guy… Yoo Hyeon-hwa?’
A red head was visible in the distance.

Judging by the fact that he was holding an empty plate, he must have been on his way out after finishing his meal.
‘I thought it would be okay since it was quiet for a while. Wasn’t it too Namgoong-Ik and Shin Sung-Ah aren’t by my side today.’
He has the minimum tools and memorization, but he can’t set off a smoke grenade in a restaurant.
Pretending not to notice her gaze, he moved in the opposite direction.
I’m glad I didn’t turn my head to check.
The other side won’t know that I noticed her gaze.
‘Just go. please.’
I braced myself when I saw her approaching me with an empty plate, but fortunately she quickly turned around and left the student cafeteria.
I thought it might come back, so I had to be vigilant for a while.
‘It took ten years.’
Normally, people leave and have dinner a little later, but today, I visited earlier than that, just in time for students to be crowded.
As a result, it seems that the lines of movement that normally did not overlap overlapped.
‘How long do I have to be so anxious?’
I haven’t done anything wrong though.
It was an opponent who had fought and won once, but it was half a fluke.
It wouldn’t be easy to defeat Yoo Hyeon-hwa in the same way.
Fighting itself is also a loss.
‘Ah, do you avoid poop because you’re afraid of it, or because it’s dirty?’
I thought you lost your appetite because of what just happened.
The taste of the meal was better than usual, probably because it was after the intense training.
I’m not the type to relieve stress by eating, but the food went well.
It was an instant for the food that had been piled up to disappear.
‘I ate faster than I thought. Even if it’s dessert, I’ll just eat it slowly and wait.’
In fact, this place is a dessert restaurant.
The quality of other food is also at the level of specialty stores, but the desserts are on a different level.
It is said that there are even students who visit the cafeteria to get dessert even if they do not eat dinner.
Today’s dessert is fruit jelly.
A jewel-like shine and a tanginess that is on a different level even with the naked eye.
What the hell does this taste like when you put it in your mouth?
“You are Hanzo!”
At the same time as I was making the fruit jelly, a man started talking to me.
Feeling uneasy about hearing that voice for the first time, I turned my gaze to confirm it.
Well-trained body and short hair.
A male student with an antique leather glove worn on only one hand.
‘Why this person? Of the seniors in the second year, the only person I can talk to is Baek Yu-ri, right?’
It was a face I had never seen before, but the name written on the name tag was familiar.
The question is why he approached me today, just after returning from an expedition.
“Do you have any business with me, senior Kiron Einar?”
“Maybe it’s a matter of preempting talent. Do you know about the club?”
He:on Hero Academy encourages club activities.
It seems that autonomous training in the form of a club is quite helpful.
Of course, there are academic meetings that have nothing to do with combat, and strange clubs that don’t know what they’re doing.
‘The briefing session on joining the club will be held in the second semester.’
If you listen to the words, it seems that the senior in front of you has approached the new student who has been eyeing him in advance to apply saliva.
Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like what was feared happened.
“The moment I heard the name, the feeling came right.”
The problem is the club he belongs to.
He sat down on the chair across from me and continued.
“Hanzo! Wouldn’t you like to join our <Archer Club> and spend your youth on a bowstring?”
archery department.
It is a club that explores and practices everything related to bows, such as angular bows, longbows, compound bows, and crossbows.
“As expected, my feelings were not wrong. Cloudy and dark, but with sharp eyes and a well-trained body. Hanzo, you are the talent our club wants.”
“no. I don’t know how to shoot a bow. I’ve never held a bow before.”
“really?”
“Close combat is my specialty.”
A freshman who chewed through the entrance exam with only chess and entered the second place.
The man who defeated Yoo Hyeon-hwa, who ranked 3rd in the entrance exam, 1-on-1.
The man who knocked down the pile of Cheon Yu-ran with his bare hands.
Hell week final training result Top4.
That’s me, Hanzo.
‘I’ve even succeeded in reproducing some of Hanzo’s optimized movements that I saw through the slingshot.’
taijutsu only taught me how to move my body properly.
It took bone-breaking and blood-curdling efforts to set foot beyond it.
‘It would have taken more time if I was alone.’
Training with Namgoong-Ik was very helpful.
It wasn’t a life-and-death crisis, but bloody bruises and cracked bones were common.
‘Among freshmen, am I the one who uses the recovery room most often?’
Full recovery in just over an hour from an injury that took three days.
It is because it has a recovery facility that can attach severed limbs and regenerate even torn off flesh.
‘I just hope it won’t hurt that much.’
On weekends when there are no classes, I have used it up to three times a day.
Now, even if I go to the recovery room, it has reached the level where the doctor in charge expects to do so.
‘Besides that, I was able to get some references from Namgoongik’s movements.’
Among them, one of the steps he uses, ‘Noemyeongbo’, was very helpful.
The characteristic of the thunderbolt is the loud noise that sounds like a thunderclap.
It is a fairly unusual footwork to use the noise to catch the opponent off guard.
I’m researching a technique to kill footsteps by reversing the trick of artificially amplifying footsteps.
‘It’s not so great that it deserves a separate name, but it’ll be quite useful once it’s finished.’
If I get a little more greedy, I want to learn things like cancer techniques or esoteric magic.
There are people who have thought about it, but right now there is not enough training time just to master what you have learned.
Maybe we should take advantage of summer vacation?
‘But there is no archery in my plans.’
Of course, a bow is also a good weapon.
Sniping is also inseparable from assassination.
However, it does not have characteristics related to archery, and I do not feel the need to spend time learning it.
“it’s okay. I trust my senses If it’s Hanzo, you’re sure to be able to handle a bow well.”
Few people are this positive.
Of course, that positive personality doesn’t always lead to a good direction.
‘That’s why I remember the name Chiron Einar.’
The first episode that takes place right after the main character transfers, a sword possessed by people.
It was the second year students who stopped Baek Yu-ri, who was turning into a monster, before the main character.
‘One of them was Kiron Einar standing in front of me.’
The battle started with the attack of the white glass.
She aimed to use her numerical superiority to suppress Baek Yuri, but her attacks became more violent each time she became a youkai.
‘As a result, the situation got so bad that I couldn’t stop her without killing her.’
At the crucial moment, Chiron Einar couldn’t shoot the arrow he had to shoot.
In return, three students who were fighting together died on the spot.
Kiron Einar also loses his right hand and one eye, which are almost lifeless.
If the main character hadn’t intervened right after that, he would have been killed by her too.
“Let’s shoot the bow with me. If you are, you can become the dragon of our club.”
people are good
The reason why he couldn’t strike the final blow was also because he believed that Baek Yu-ri could come to his senses.
‘I’m not a person I personally dislike.’

Joining his club is a different story.
I’ve already decided which club to join, and I’m not the person the archery club needs.
“Because I don’t put a lot of thought into the bow. Can I recommend someone else instead?”
“Are you going to recommend someone else?”
When it comes to ‘bow’, there is only one person I can recommend.
It will be a mutually beneficial outcome for both him and her.
“One of my freshmen is Eve Ataraxia. Your bow skills are not normal.”
“Eve Ataraxia, there must have been a name like that among the freshmen.”
As expected, it seems that the names of promising freshmen are memorized.
It seems he didn’t even know that Eve Ataraxia used a bow.
Come to think of it, I had never used a bow except for the first day orientation when I fought Shin Sung-ah.
“As a student with excellent grades in admissions, I even picked out a mechanical bow in the treasure room.”
“Mechanical bow… .”
While Kiron Einar was pondering for a moment at my words, he heard the sound of his will falling and the plate falling.
“What did you say!”
“Did I say something wrong?”
“You bastard!”
“Are you going to try it?”
raised voice.
At the same time, the student cafeteria became noisy.
The attention of the students was focused on one place.
‘Is it finally the beginning?’
– A group brawl in the student cafeteria.
Although it was not yet large enough to be labeled as a ‘group’.
Two male students caught my eye, holding each other by the collar.
‘1st year Anton Ivanov and 2nd year Lim Jin-wook.’
Crowds began to gather around the two.
It was not strange to have a group fight at any moment when they were standing divided into 1st and 2nd graders.
‘What did he say was the reason for the quarrel?’
In my memory, it must have been such a trivial thing that I thought, ‘For this reason only?’
‘Did I say I didn’t like the look in your eyes?’
The direct cause of the quarrel between the two was correct, but that was not all.
If anything, it can be said that it was because of the orientation that took place on the first day of school.
‘Because it was as if the 1st and 2nd year split and fought.’
It was only natural that there were people who could not shake it off and held grudges.
The problem is that what should have ended between the two has expanded in the direction of ‘1st year VS 2nd year’.
Disputes not resolved by this incident become the spark that causes other incidents in the future.
‘Compared to the two incidents that will happen later, it’s trivial, but I can’t neglect it.’
While organizing the route in my head once again on how to move.
“What are those children doing?”
It seems that Kiron Ainar also caught the eye of the two people who were being chased.
Come to think of it, he doesn’t seem to be here in the novel.
Is it because of me again?
Because he came to the cafeteria to meet me?
“There you… !”
“Wait.”
I stopped him from trying to intervene in their dispute.
His eyes, sharp as those of a raptor, stared at me.
“Please wait a moment. If you intervene here, there is a risk that the situation will get worse.”
“worse?”
Kiron Einar is also a sophomore.
From the point of view of sophomores, they will think that their side has increased, and from the point of view of first-year students, it will be seen that a new senior has joined.
“please wait for a moment. We will solve it soon.”
“Can you do it alone? Rather come with me.”
“no. I can do it alone.”
Like he said, it’s not bad for the two of them to fight together, but the original fight gets fiercer the more you stop.
I’m not sure how well my method will work, but it’ll be a surefire way rather than just going to break up a fight.
“Look into those eyes and believe it. You know what if there is no sign of a solution?”
“It doesn’t matter if you interrupt at any time. Previously… .”
I asked Kiron Einar for a simple favor and slowly approached the two people who were being grabbed.
