The Golden Sun of the Academy

Episode 51

Team Battle (2)

“Isn’t it interesting, child of lust?”

The eyes of gluttony are shining light purple. On the outside, it looks like a jewel that reflects light, but the feeling I received is different.

It shines brilliantly and is as beautiful as a star, but if you look into its pupils, they are rotten.

Feeling the cold sweat running down my back at the gluttonous question, I cautiously opened my mouth.

“Are you talking to me?”

“Then who else? I’m here to see you, so don’t think about cheating.”

As if my gluttony was funny, I lightly covered my mouth and said. The sleeves of her voluminous dress slid down along her lifted arm.

The black dress resembles mourning clothes.

“yes… … .”

After thinking for a while about how gluttony knew me, I remembered Lee Seok-joon, whom I had etched in one corner of my memory, and frowned. He’s a guy who sticks around to the end.

After clicking her tongue once, she moved her eyes to the arena and answered her first question.

“… … If you say it’s fun, does that battle seem like a joke to a noble person?”

“No, that’s not it.”

Gluttony spread the black fan in his hand and covered his mouth, and new members are coming up to the arena.

Among them are familiar guys I know. With Cha Seung-hyeok at the head, 5 people triumphantly go up to the stage.

Gluttony also moved his gaze to the stage and continued.

“Look at that face full of 50,000 emotions… … .”

As she said, the faces of the opposing team contained their own emotions, and their faces were clearly visible through the magic-enhanced eyesight.

firm determination.

quick resignation.

Hope there is a possibility.

Despair dotted with impossibility.

Lamentation for meeting a strong team from the first battle.

“… … Doesn’t it look really delicious?”

Her eyes, which came into my field of vision, are shining. Her tongue licked her red lips as if her mouth was watering.

“… … okay. But, what brought you here?”

“I’ve seen some swearing lately thanks to someone, so I came to see what kind of kid he is.”

It seems that he was in pretty bad shape in his negotiations with Lust.

If lust had seen that gluttony approached me, I’m sure it wouldn’t have let it go. I don’t know where the hell this man is at such an important moment.

“That part… … .”

“If you intend to apologize, don’t. I don’t want to hear an apology. Doesn’t that mean that you won’t come out to the Greed Battle?”

She was right. Since I don’t have lust, which is the role of a guardian now, I only tried to apologize conditionally for my own protection, and I wasn’t sorry in the first place.

As soon as the words of gluttony were over, a team battle began on the stage.

At the same time as the number floating on the giant electronic display board hanging on one side of the stadium became 0, I saw Cha Seung-hyuk rushing towards the opponent’s camp.

Inside the team, Lee Young-woong and his party were taken aback for a moment, as if this was not the discussed tactic, but soon followed him and ran while maintaining formation. Looking at the stadium, I continued talking to gluttony.

“… … I will apologize later.”

“It’s good to be honest. But honesty doesn’t forgive everything.”

I realized why gluttony said that an apology was not necessary. She has no intention of collaborating with me in the first place.

Inside the stadium, Cha Seung-hyeok quickly turns to the opposing team’s rear and is excitedly trampling the opponent’s formation.

To block him, the opposing team’s tanker with a huge square shield tried to turn, but was stopped by Lee Young-woong’s sword that rushed in soon after.

“Was Lee Seok-joon such a precious incarnation? I never felt that way.”

“No matter how much I put him out, he is a child who has been touched by me. My child was beaten by someone else’s child, and there is no parent in the world who would just let go.”

There was no warmth in her voice, even calmness. Rather, such cold anger makes my heart flutter.

He’s a guy who doesn’t know if he’ll run into him later anyway, but I didn’t know he’d turn into a solid enemy from the beginning.

No, maybe I had been aware of Lee Seok-jun’s disposition from the time I entrusted the negotiation to Lust.

When I rolled the scenario in various directions in my head, I didn’t think it was such a big deal, but looking at it now, I should have put a little effort into handling it.

“that… … .”

“Shh. Your guardian is coming.”

As I tried to continue, Gluttony lightly cut off my words in the middle. I almost frowned at the displeasure at the interruption, but I managed to hold it in because I thought of the other person.

Looking in the direction she pointed, there was a skinny, middle-aged janitor in a blue janitor’s uniform standing in his expanded field of vision.

Wait a minute, do I have to put up with this? You wouldn’t be able to touch me anyway.

After getting up, she brushed off the hips of her dress with her black gloved hand and looked down at me.

“The next time you see it, you will only see it in our world. Then stay healthy.”

Gluttony lowered his head at the moment and approached my ear. The veil covering her face tickled my cheek.

“Until the day my child meets you.”

Leaving only a slight warmth left, she flicked her shoes and headed for the arena exit, disappearing from sight.

While I was distracted by her for a while, the team battle in the arena had already come to an end.

The time limit on the display board was 10 minutes and 14 seconds, which showed that there was still plenty of time left, but Lee Young-woong’s team eventually defeated the opposing team’s tank that stood until the end and won.

The car was in trouble because it ended before the new member of Lee Young-woong’s team could show anything due to the overwhelming power difference. I could see him approaching the opposing team and casting a heal.

It was intended to show gentleness and earn some points, but for me, it was an opportunity to understand the remaining abilities of the guy.

As Gyu-Ri Choi said, it seems like he picked the right healer.

And the lust that was far away came to my side at some point.

He frowned and sat down in the seat where the gluttony had just been sitting.

“A gluttonous guy, anyway, the insidious thing is still the same.”

“You are late. It’s already here, it’s been a long time since we’ve gone.”

At my words, he glared this way.

“It was unexpected that he didn’t bring even a part of his body. Anyway, it seems that old age has only increased my cunning.”

At his words, I nodded my head while frowning. No matter how much the alter ego dies, the main body takes a hit.

Do you believe in the pact between the 7 Sins or did your liver stick out overboard. It was to avoid the eyes of lust, but the guts of gluttony that descended for a while without possessing any power was certainly worth recognizing.

“So what did the maggot say?”

“They told me to stay healthy until my son and I meet. It seems to be about a greed fight.”

At my words, he folded his arms and fell into a moment of thought.

“her… … , That guy said so… … . It looks like you’re going to take out the guy you love.”

“… … Is it okay to trust you?”

I already knew what kind of guy was coming out, but I stabbed my lustful pride once to see if there was anything more to gain.

He said he would support me, but wouldn’t it be nice if he did it with all his might?

“Don’t worry, it’s just someone else’s crown or a snooping horse. I will do my best to support you. I don’t like the idea of a greedy guy holding the seat of greed in his hand either.”

“… … all right. Then I’ll just leave.”

The battle of Lee Young-woong’s team must be over. When I checked my smartphone, it was time for a meeting with my teammates, and as I was about to get up, Lust glared at me and growled.

“And I’ll just skip this one. So next time, don’t go blindly.”

Despite his words, I got up from my seat.

I forgot about it for a while, but he was also a prophet who took the first place among the 7 sins.

As much as he was sitting in a high seat, it seemed better to refrain from touching his ego of strong lust. Unless it was the timing to slap him in the back of the head.

Leaving behind the voice of the moderator calling the next team, I came out of the stadium and walked towards the main building.

People were flocking to the stadium, so I ran in reverse to the main building against the flow of crowds.

After entering through the front door of the main building, I did not go to the classroom, but went straight to the basement through the stairs in front.

I went around looking for a meeting room that I had reserved in the basement resting room surrounded by glass walls and measuring less than a few pyeong.

B115. Found it.

It didn’t take long. Through the thick opaque glass door, I saw a few people gathered inside, and I opened the door and entered.

“what? Are you all here already?”

There seemed to be about 5 minutes until the appointment time, but there were already 4 people in the meeting room, including Chevalier, waiting for me.

As I sat down on the chair in front of me, four pairs of eyes focused on me.

* * *

Kang Hyuk sat down feeling the strange atmosphere flowing inside the conference room.

‘It’s inconvenient.’

I didn’t get along well with Anya, Andrew, and Chevalier gathered in the conference room. The problem was that there was no contact point.

“I am surprised. No, the sheep were also on this team, right?”

“huh! Taeyang called and came.”

“Me too, but… … . Are you Andrew?”

“uh! I wish you well.”

“I really hope you take care of me.”

Chevalier, who had just entered, exchanged greetings with Anya and Andrew, who were already there.

“That one? Kang Hyuk, right?”

“Uh, uh. I’m counting on you.”

They knew each other, but they weren’t that close. I managed to pass by and only saw the face a few times.

Kang Hyuk tried to think of a close person in his mind, but there was no one in particular.

‘If you think about it… … Except for what I learned through Geum Taeyang, we don’t have anything in common with each other.’

Certainly, Taeyang kept his promise. He said he would take responsibility and gather the team members, and he gathered the other three in an instant.

Andrew is said to be an unpopular class in the class, so he was easily brought in, but I know that Chevalier and Anya are popular, but Kang-hyeok was surprised that they were brought in so easily than expected.

‘How many people would have come if I said I’d gather them?’

I thought about it for a while, but the result was obvious, so I shook my head. Kang Hyuk, even when he thought about it himself, he had nothing to suggest.

Recently, I wondered if I was getting close to Lee Young-woong, but he ended up forming a team with the guys he originally knew.

‘I heard there’s one seat left, but…’ … .’

In the end, it was Geum Taeyang, not Kang Hyuk, who became the priority. I hadn’t shown anything special to other people yet.

‘Should I open the shop of all things?’

Various thoughts did not leave my head. He felt sorry for himself as he had nothing to offer.

Obviously, the rumors spreading in the class were not good, and despite the fact that he seems to be living a busy life, it was a matter of time to make a team once he decided to collect them.

I was in a mess.

I know that he pulled me in with good intentions, but I don’t know why, and I keep comparing myself lately.

Talented Golden Sun.

Kang Hyuk has no talent.

A guy who can attract people.

The self with no one to call.

If you think back to how you started caring about him, the sky was the beginning.

‘no… … . We’ll have to think about this later. If I became a disciple of the Sword Master, I might be able to hear the story of the day.’

Kang Hyuk recalled this opportunity to forcibly lift his sinking mood.

Opportunities don’t come easily, so I had to focus.

In an instant, a rattling sound was heard as the glass door opened, and the person who gathered the team members entered.

“what? Are you all here already?”

The boy had a polite smile.
