The quest window that popped up on Jaehyun.

This would be of great help in developing his power.

Growth of Fafnir II. Jaehyun had no reason to refuse.

“Papi was a big help when I defeated Chae Ji-yoon. I caught the enemy who was trying to escape.”

Hella also said that and advised that Poppy’s growth is absolutely necessary.

Jaehyun also agreed.

According to Hella, Fafnir’s scales are much stronger than those of many demon beasts around the world.

Among the dragon scales, it is by far the highest level.

Although it is now weakened due to the state of Hetzling, it might be possible to regain a form beyond its heyday if it grows.

“Ha…… By the way, there’s one problem…”

“What’s the problem, why are you sighing? It doesn’t suit you.”

“No matter how much the chairman is on my side, I skipped a lot of days to attend the academy.”

It was Jaehyun who had already skipped classes for several days at the time of Limit Breaker.

It was a situation where missing more than this class as a freshman could have an adverse effect on future promotions.

That said, he couldn’t miss the golden opportunity to grow Papi…….

That was the time he was struggling.

belt ring.

Suddenly, a text message arrived from Jaehyun.

There it was written:

[Sender: Kim Yoo-jung]

Hey! What should we buy for our field trip?

Are you going to eat too?

* * *

“Inaya!”

after school.

Someone caught Seo Eana on her way to the hideout to talk about the school trip.

It was a girl in the same magic class. Her name was Yoon Seon-ah, and she was a cadet with soft brown hair.

Seo Ina tilted her head and asked.

“……Seonah. Is something going on?”

“Oh no, it’s nothing else…….”

Seo Eana felt a bit suspicious at Yoon Seon-ah’s hesitant appearance.

Wasn’t she the usual cheerful and shy personality?

But why are you stuttering so much today?

The reason could be immediately grasped from the following words.

“That… Min Jaehyun, does he have a girlfriend?”

“……huh? Maybe not…?”

“Oh really?!”

Yoon Seon-ah’s voice suddenly brightened noticeably.

She took Seo Ina’s hand and put something in her hand.

“Can you pass this on to Jaehyun? Be sure to ask for an answer too.”

“……uh?”

The moment Seo Ina was about to say something, Yun Seonah had already left.

Seo Ina looked at the object in her hand for a moment.

It was a beautifully wrapped handwritten letter.

A letter with Yun Sun-ah’s name written on the outside, with clear intentions.

For some reason, Seo Ina’s expression when she saw this became darker than usual.

‘……Should I tell it to you?’

Seo Ina looked at it for a while before putting it in her pocket.

And for a while, she couldn’t get rid of the feeling that something was on her stomach.

* * *

A few days later, after the incident was settled.

Jaehyun, who has returned to the academy, is having a conversation with his colleagues at the hideout.

Hoyeon Ahn was the first to speak.

“It’s a school trip… This time has already arrived.”

Kim Yu-jung and Seo E-na also received the words with excited expressions.

“I fight with monsters every day, but sometimes I have to take a break like this! After all, what does Chairman Kim Ji-yeon know?”

“……huh!”

Kwon So-yul, who was resting his chin on the words of the two, interrupted.

“By the way, why did the destination of the school trip suddenly change? You weren’t originally going to America, were you?”

“That’s right…”

Lee Jae-sang answered.

In fact, the place originally planned as the destination of the school trip was the United States.

However, the schedule suddenly changed.

to Okinawa, Japan.

“Cool!”

At that time, Jaehyun coughed with a puzzled look on his face.

“what? What are you doing all of a sudden?”

Kwon So-yul asked, but Jae-hyun did not answer.

He briefly remembered what had happened a few days ago.

[So is it possible to change the destination of the school trip?]

[Yes…… Is it difficult?]

[No. I’ll try my best. After all, Japan was also one of the candidates. If there is a problem with the original destination, it will be solved somehow.]

Director Kim Ji-yeon readily accepted Jae-hyun’s proposal.

She was the one who helped him during the Limit Breaker incident.

Kim Ji-yeon had a clear justification for helping him.

[Then, we will contact you after adjusting the schedule.]

Like this.

Jaehyun was able to change his destination from the US to Japan.

There was only one reason.

‘Because the place where the quest for Poppy’s rank up was carried out was Japan.’

To be precise, Lake Chuzenji in Nikko.

It was the epicenter of Kegon Falls, one of the three major waterfalls in Japan.

However, since the vicinity of Lake Chuzenji is a closed area by demons like Daegu and Baengnyeong Island, Jaehyun changed his destination to Okinawa, a popular travel destination in Japan.

It didn’t make sense to go on a school trip to a closed area in the first place, and even as Jaehyun, he needed to move alone to avoid being noticed by others.

In fact, Jaehyun already knew what type of monster was there.

‘It’s time to properly demonstrate the privilege of a returner once again.’

Jaehyun raised his eyebrows at that thought.

Kim Yoo-jung, who was watching this from the side, frowned.

“You… do you know that you get into trouble every time you make that expression?”

“Accidents are more likely to happen to you.”

“This is really… so why the hell did it disappear this time?”

“just. I want to get some rest.”

Jaehyun gave an appropriate answer to the question and changed the topic.

“Looks like I need to buy some supplies for the school trip soon. Shall we split up the team?”

For Miles’ school trip, the cadets must prepare all food materials and necessary items.

Jaehyun was aware of this and suggested role sharing to his colleagues.

Kim Yoo-jung sighed and agreed, as if she had decided to close her eyes moderately.

“I really didn’t say anything until the end… Okay. How about climbing the ladder?”

“……good.”

Seo Ina agreed.

Those sitting around ran the ladder climbing app on their smartphones.

They each wrote down their names and chose a number.

“Please… I’m a mart…!”

“Nana and I like the mart too.”

Kim Yoo-jung and Lee Jae-sang seemed to want to go to the mart and see the market.

Well, Kim Yoo-jung likes to eat, so it’s only natural.

It didn’t matter where Jaehyun was.

ding!

After a while. The result of climbing the ladder came out.

The team was divided into three groups.

The first is Jaehyun and Seo Ina. I went to the mart to buy groceries.

The second is Kim Yoo-jung and Kwon So-yul. Responsible for checking equipment and supplies.

Lastly, Ahn Ho-yeon and Lee Jae-sang. They decided to prepare entertainment.

It was also thanks to Kim Yoo-jung’s strong insistence that such things are indispensable to travel.

anyway. In this way, the preparation team for the school trip was divided.

Jaehyun stood up first and said.

“Ina, shall we go then?”

“……huh!”

* * *

“Oh, go see some tteokgalbi here! It’s so delicious!”

The place where solicitation is most active.

Jaehyun and Seo Eana had just arrived at the mart in the academy premises and were looking around.

They pulled a shopping cart, each carrying what he thought he needed.

Of course, all payments are made with points only. Basically, this is because the mart here is also an on-site facility.

Jaehyun brought the team members favorite food. Kimchi, which is essential for Koreans, and instant foods with strong seasonings.

They were unhealthy, but tasted the best.

Seo Ina, who was watching this, said with a slight frown.

“……You can’t buy too many of those things. It’s bad for your health.”

She started taking out Jaehyun’s instant food again.

Jaehyun said with a sad expression as he watched the cup noodles go out of the cart.

“no way. Still, it’s a school trip. How can I do without cup noodles at night……”

“……No.”

Seo Ina was stubborn.

She glanced at Jaehyun with one eye closed and said:

“……When I arrive, I’ll make you something much better than that.”

Jaehyun quickly understood what he said.

“Well, it’s ridiculous to compare your food with cup noodles.”

Jaehyun unknowingly swallowed his saliva.

At Jaehyun’s words, Seo Ina smiled and looked around the ingredients.

but then

I could hear the murmur of the cadets nearby.

They also seemed to have come to buy supplies for the school trip.

“Hey. Aren’t they Min Jaehyun and Seoina?”

“Right. You’re doing really well these days. It’s surprising that freshmen made circles, but they say that even current students are eating them up.”

“But only the two of us came to the market together. Are you dating?”

“You’re dating just by looking at them~ You’re such a handsome man and woman.”

“But they fit really well. Is it because you’re so respectful?”

“That’s right.”

The subject of the voices heard from the surroundings was clear.

Jaehyun and Seo Ina. The two of them were staring blankly at each other.

Jaehyun was the type who didn’t particularly care about rumors like this, so he wasn’t particularly impressed, but Seo Ina, who doesn’t have a good interpersonal relationship, couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

Embarrassed, she put her hands into the pockets of her jacket for a moment.

Then, he touched the letter he had received from Sunah Yoon.

She pondered for a moment.

‘Is it really right to deliver this?’

It was a well-intentioned letter.

Yoon Seon-ah was interested in Jae-hyun. So I sent you a love letter.

But for some reason she was reluctant to deliver this letter.

I felt rejected and somehow annoyed.

‘Why am I doing this?’

It was a feeling that even Seo Ina could not understand.

After thinking for a while, Seo Ina looked at Jaehyun’s back pushing the cart and asked cautiously.

“……Jaehyun, why don’t you date a girlfriend?”

“……uh?”

Jaehyun’s walking speed slowed down a bit.

He said while keeping pace with Seo In-na.

“Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”

“……No, just. I was wondering why a nice guy like you doesn’t have a girlfriend yet.”

“Am I not that nice?”

Jaehyun smiled bitterly.

“And what… the job of radar is very uneasy. I don’t know when I might die… What about people who are left alone when they die?

No one will understand anyway.”

It was a passing word, but Seo Eana felt warm consideration in those words.

Jaehyun was always like this.

He was more considerate of others than his own feelings and always sacrificed.

‘……That kind of warmth is Jaehyun’s charm, but…’

Seo Eana thought so, and suddenly she was startled.

He felt his face turn red and his fever rising.

She pursed her lips several times and finally came to the conclusion.

“…if there is a woman who understands you…then would you date her?”

Jaehyun’s head turned around for an instant and turned to Ina.

Her flushed face and quivering lips caught his eye.

A moment of silence passed.

Jaehyun looked into her eyes for a few seconds before finally opening his mouth.

“I am…….”
