[Looking for the last person who has last seen World class' novice cadet, 'Jin Hajung'.]
I immediately knew what was happening well next arc had begun in Novel's Extra this is where Kim Hajin and Yoo Yenoha started to become friends.
The name of this arc was 'Cube's Serial Disappearance Incident' but in Novel's Extra as Second Incident.
As the word 'serial' suggested, there would be six victims during the course of this arc.
This arc played a fairly important role in the story.The sole reason being that Yoo Yeonha was the final victim.
This was the decisive trigger that would bring Kim Suho and Yoo Yeonha closer together well in Hajin perspective that is anyway I am thinking nonsense again.
Hajin has already gone to his room after seeing this message he had gone to familiarize with Stigma of his its beneficial for him any way.
Yoo Yeonha suddenly messaged me that's something unexpected.
[Hello]
Shouldn't she message kim hajin well forget about it i did messed with her knowing her she will try poke me with her words because she is suspicious of my strength and if i am not mistaken Cha nayuan would most likely said i may be Djinn,So do i ignore it or mess with her let's mess with her.
[What?]
[The text from just now, that isn't your doing, right?]
Well officially she became insane? Now which hospital should I admit her.
[No, why? and how did you got my number ?]
[Then nevermind.]
[Alright, but you didn't answered my second question .]
[By the way, I heard you fought a Djinn last week.]
[…What are you trying to say?]
Changing the topic over and over again until the other side brought up the topic,she wanted to talk about, that was Yoo Yeonha's specialty.
[Do you know about the Giant Swamp Soldier?]
[I wouldn't tell you even if I knew.]
Ah...right on the class that day Hajin has sold the information about Mountain Tyrant and for credibility purpose he said i am the one who selling the information to her and he got his weapon Desert Eagle as payment for it.
He said he will get it by tomorrow or so he said that guy did need that wepon anyway but using my name for credibility he is really capitalist.
There shouldn't be many guilds in the country who knew about the Giant Swamp Soldier's vital point and more than that even i don't know about well if i see it thats other thing i can find just looking at it where is it's weakness but that is because of my system but telling her 'NAH' lets not do that.
[I can buy the information.]
[Nah not interested ]
I cut her off resolutely. Mountain Tyrant was enough to serve as her 'accomplishment'.
[Why not? I can offer a lot.]
[ First of all check my bank balance i don't need money but if you can double the digit in it then maybe i can think about it ]
It was true that Yoo Yeonha would become successful in the future, but her personality had yet to change.
Currently, she didn't hesitate to mercilessly cut down her enemies. Before the right influence changed her temperament, it was dangerous to give her wings so lets give her reality check.
( Lets send her my bank balance screen shot by the way Great Sage what is my Balance now )
{Great sage Its 8.5 Billion won all in white and we didnt got money from Hajin you have spent if we combine it according my calculation by the end stock that time you would have 30 Billion won }
What in the world when in the world did i become freaking rich i am really stunned right now .

[...]
[....is it really your account Balance ]
[ Yes....and by the way to be frank, I don't know about it that much How would I know the vital point of a monster that doesn't appear in Korea? ]
After not replying for a long time, Yoo Yeonha ended the conversation with a single message.
[From now on, don't talk to me so casually.]
"Pftt..Ha..Ha.."
I couldn't help but laugh it off emerged . As I thought, even if Yoo Yeonha acted adult-like…
"…Still a high schooler, huh."
**
Sunday.
Kim Suho was working out at the Novice Fitness Center. Kim Suho was a regular visitor of the fitness center, but today's scenery was different than what it was at the beginning of the year.
Today, the fitness center was booming with cadets. It was undoubtedly because the midterm exams were coming up.
"Kuu."
After finishing a set, Kim Suho looked around the place while resting. Jin Hanjun, Kim Horak, Shin Jonghak, and even Yoo Yeonha and Rachel, who were rare visitors, were there.
"Are you checking out girls?"
At that moment, a sudden coldness touched his face. Kim Suho pulled his head back in surprise. There was only one person who would play such a prank on him. Kim Suho glared at him. Yi Yeonghan shrugged and handed him a drink.
"So, are you?"
"No, I just…"
"Yeah?"
"…I just thought it was a rare sight."
Kim Suho pointed at Rachel with his chin. Yi Yeonghan looked at Rachel and nodded in agreement.
"I guess you're right. This is the first time I've seen a real princess working out at a fitness center."
Blonde hair that glistened brilliantly and eyes that were like refined sapphires. Her figure showed no imperfections and flaunted elegance and charm.
Even while covered in sweat, she looked like she came out of a painting. The girl, Rachel, was from England's royal family and was the descendant of a noble lineage.
"Who do you think she'll marry in the future? Not with us, right?"
At Yi Yeonghan's comments, Kim Suho smiled.
"Is that a sneer? What, you think you can marry her?"
"No, it's not that. I was agreeing with you. I don't think she'd marry someone like us."
"He's... he for real how in the world he is doing it !"
While the two of them joked with each other, a sudden loud commotion at the gravity chamber grabbed their attention.
"Huuuk!"
The strange breathing sound came from a guy having a life-or-death battle just standing there.
However, in the gravity room he is doing nothing he was a just standing there for any cadet's standard they could do it for more better than that guy.
However, there is another guy who has the muscular, compact, lean physique of a skilled hunter without sacrificing speed; his upper body is bare with track pants and he has the ideal body that everyone would like
"…If he is really struggling just to stand there, then why did he go into there?"
Yi Yeonghan looked with pity.
It wasn't just Yi Yeonghan. Almost every cadet snickered as they walked about.
Kim Suho couldn't tell whether Kim Hajin was oblivious or too focused to notice, but he continued his struggle resolutely while as Meliodas with abnormal weights on his back he is doing Push ups under that condition nobody would dare to do that especially with that much weight in Gravity chamber with 10 times of gravity.
"At least he's trying to do it must be Meliodas who dragged him into there other wise Hajin wouldn't have gone to there."
Kim Suho replied briefly.
"You..!, Know them I'm curious about that guy Kim Hajin how did he even admitted to Cube and Even sharpshooters have a minimum physical requirement they need to meet, and wasn't that Meliodas is Rank 500 and isn't he a swordsman how in the world his even doing that? Why don't I remember him? …Oh, look, it's Chae Nayun."
Chae Nayun came out of the gravitation room at just the right moment. Covered in sweat, she was slightly staggering with an exhausted face.
Her sister didn't participate in training with her as at her Physical level this equipments aren't useful much It looked like she was planning on heading straight back, but when she saw Kim Hajin and Meliodas, she stopped and began to glare at him.
Jiing—
Two laser beams shot out of her eyes.
"…What's she doing?"
"Well They're not really on good terms."
Kim Suho smiled bitterly.
"Tsk."
After glaring at Kim Hajin and Meliodas for a while, Chae Nayun clicked her tongue and turned back. At the same time, her eyes met Kim Suho. She let out a dry cough as though she was embarrassed and walked towards them.
"Hey, Kim Suho, isn't he a bit strange?"
What nonsense was she spouting now?
"Hmm…Strange ? "
"That bastard, he's acting."
"What are you talking about?"
Both Yi Yeonghan and Kim Suho furrowed their brows. They didn't understand what Chae Nayun was saying, but Chae Nayun glared at Kim Suho as though he was being dense.
"…I can understand Yi Yeonghan saying this, but Kim Suho, you really are insensitive about these kinds of things."
"What? What are you talking about out of the blue?"
"You saw this both guys going into there that day and you still don't get it?"
In truth, Chae Nayun's suspicion was justified.Magic power was one of the most important abilities of a Hero. In that sense, the magic power Meliodas displayed during the Seoul Incident was abnormally high and Kim Hajin who is usually with him he should be strong enough otherwise why would he take him into a Quasi B-Level Gate instead of them saying they are weak.
An explosive amount of magic power strong enough to dye the world Golden for that …A man with such level of magic power of Meliodas wouldn't leave his back to a guy who was struggling to stand in gravity chamber It just didn't make sense.
As such, Kim Hajin had to be acting for whatever reason only made her more annoying.
…Although the logic behind it wasn't perfectly sound, it was still a justifiable suspicion but what Chae Nayun didn't know is Kim Hajin is really struggling to stand there and he couldn't even have time to react a bastard of friend just tossed him into it if he know what she is thinking he would definitely would cry there.
"Hm…"
Yi Yeonghan stared at Kim Hajin once again.
His face was red as though it was about to explode and trying to grab air with his mouth as much as he want.
"If that's acting, he should get an Oscar."
"Ehew. Whatever, stay dense, you two."
Right when Chae Nayun was shaking her head in disappointment, Meliodas who has finished his Quest is looking at Kim hajin who is struggling for air shaking his head at his friends misery he dragged him outside after turning off the gravity chamber.
Looking at his bare upper body all the girls have to avert their eyes some covered their eyes with hands but still peeking from the gaps.
Rachel and Yoo Yeonha have shade a rosy hue on their faces.
" Well Hajin i will go change up you rest here hmm..Hey are You still alive "
Hajin is still struggling for Breath air he never thought he Kim Hajin would really happy for being able to breath air in laying on ground all he could do is just glaring at the source of his suffering knowing that it would take some time for hajin to come back normal Meliodas left him there.
Three male cadets approached Kim Hajin after seeing Meliodas is Not there. Kim Suho instinctively frowned.
Those three were well-known delinquents.
"Hey, what are you doing here, loser?"
"Look, he's struggling with this. I used do it when i am kid you know that."
They nudged Kim Hajin, but he didn't react in any way. Without giving them a single glance, he just lay down there trying to calm down his body and regulate his breathing.
"Hey, are you mute? Say something."
"Let's take pictures of this son of a bitch and post it. Look at him, working all hard when he's a complete waste."
Aggravated, the three delinquents began to curse openly. Why live; you're a waste of money; I feel bad for your parents; you're not going to graduate anyway, so why not just leave; etc…
"…Hey, I'm leaving."
Watching this scene, Chae Nayun left the scene looking uncomfortable.
Kim Suho got up, unable to hold himself back, but Yi Yeonghan stopped him.
"What?"
"Just leave him be. By the looks of it, they're Shin Jonghak's lackeys. Nothing good will come of fighting them."
"Hey Hajin is my friend OK..! i cant be like that you go back i will deal with it …"
"Wait...Let see what is going to happen..Plus…"
Yi Yeonghan smiled as though he found the situation funny.
"Who knows? Maybe he really is acting."
Just then suddenly whole fitness centre erupted with huge moment with chilling aura everybody in that place felt that they had faced a monster,before joining the Cube Academy,they did trained after this elite of elite,but now this aura gives them feeling first time ever fighted with monster,first time helplessness that a child face's when he is fighting an adult .
This feeling Instinctively tensed up their body all of them looked at the source of this is at entrance a shadow of person slowly getting bigger & when they saw the person, it is none other than Meliodas.
He just walked towards Hajin without saying anything he extended his hand as if he is going to take something from Hajin he taked small object and tucked it in his pocket.
" Hey Hajin why didn't you turn off the device still wearing this gravity increasing artifact aren't you done with your training "
Meliodas turning towards three Delinquents he narrowed his eyes releasing his full Pressure on them which caused cracks to form on floors and walls looking at them with his eyes glowing with Mana silently .
" So what are you guys are doing here do you know him are what "
Kim Hajin who has recovered from exhaustion has finally gotten up looked at the three Delinquents like a poor kids he doesn't care about this kinda off things after all there are bigger things than messing around with this kid's.
" Leave them be they are just lackeys lets go it is pointless Two of them are already passed out can't you see their eyes already rolled back & third one is barely hanging there."
" Yeah..! anyway tell your boss don't jump around too much otherwise he can't even imagine what is coming towards him "
After saying that both them just leave the place with horrified cadet's ,didn't even looked at the cadets,on their way to dormitory Hajin couldn't hold it bacK anymore and asked Meliodas.
" so what is drama about me using Gravity increasing artifact i couldn't even stand on my own in gravity chamber How would i have an artifact like that. "
" just acting so that they wouldn't mess with you anymore it's just a box and you should clearly work hard you know cant even stand in an 10 times gravity what a waste Hajin"
" Shut Up..! everyone isn't like you who could level up and become stronger but still why do you even exercise "
" Hajin Stats only means i am getting stronger but without knowing how to use that strength what is the use of all that strength that why i practice to measure & control my power "
" Whatever good night & by this month end we need to go to Gari Mountain to get Ather remember that and don't mess around "
" Yeah..Yeah..sure mom."
When I woke up, it was Monday morning. In a daze, I thought back to what happened yesterday.
KIm Hajin applying as an information seller on Violet Banquet, buying stocks, and about working out…
' Let's shower ' first thinking like that Meliodas Has gone for his Shower.
Chwaaa—Cold water washed away my drowsiness.I looked at my wet body in the mirror hmm...I am Great.
After drying myself, I left the bathroom and started to eat my Breakfast a time for myself with peace of mind .
" Hmm.. Its been long time like this enjoying breakfast without rushing for a cab to go to work "
It wouldn't be long until Hajin could take Aether from Gari Mountain.
After all, the real reward of the Gari Mountain Dungeon wasn't the 'completion reward', but the 'hidden stage reward' "Evandel " and by that time if i could get my Job Class i could give Igris ,some subordinates well its all in future lets forget about it for now.
Since classes would begin in ten minutes, I had to hurry before I was late.
I opened the classroom door.
At that moment, Yi Yeonghan walked in with an armful of large scrolls.Cube still had a traditional custom. The results of every written exam, whether small or big, were posted publicly on large posters.Yi Yeonghan put up the posters while other cadets groaned.
The result was as such.
Rank 1. Meliodas Rank 2.Kim Hajin Rank 3. Rachel…
" Snap "
A sound similar to a chopstick snapping in half rang out.
I snuck a peek behind me,Two halves of a pen rolled on the table.
Next to them was the presumed owner of the pen, Rachel, who was staring at the exam results in a daze. Her mouth was half-open, as though she was shocked greatly.
"…Oh, Man I am dead "
I couldn't help Mutter it under my breadth even if Hajin & Me Copied the answers but there is difference between written by a guy like hajin and Having an assistant like Great sage.
Then i felt gaze on my back it is none other than Rachel Looking at my table Where my book which is nothing but with White papers but only i know about that but looking at her i have one idea.
Rachel began to covet the notebook I had in front of me.
For every written exam, whether small or big, Rachel had never been pushed out of first place.
Cube's classes and exams were always carried out in Korean. Even the small number of Cube's foreign professors held their classes in Korean, though their pronunciation and linguistic ability were no different than native speakers'.
With Korean becoming the shared language of many countries, learning Korean became an important part of many countries' culture.
But a foreign language was still a foreign language.
Just because Korean became a shared language, it didn't mean that learning it was any easier. To foreigners, Korean was still a difficult language to master.
But even with the disadvantage of being a foreigner, Rachel could understand what the professors were saying and could write mostly correct answers on exams. It was easy to see how much effort she put into studying.
' Sigh.... I feel like I landed a job that all qualified people are competing for without even having a legitimate degree. '
' I should Make up for her teaching her Elemental Magic is good but let's see if like Original Rimuru I can help her get a contract of powerful Elemental spirit .'
