At some point, his a64c85959b body collided with something 22c624d649 soft like a wall 1af1f4245a and fell to the aa1b401b76 ground. Having been falling upside 0df9ce8ef0 down all this time, 5389f73742 blood rushed to his bbc0b88bf1 head, causing dizziness.

He thought he would die the moment he was swallowed by the monster. The monster’s mouth was so enormous that he expected his body to burst just by brushing against its teeth… Unexpectedly, Hae Gijun found himself inside the monster’s body.8807c590806845d7

Is this situation fortunate? Of course, he didn’t want to experience his body being crushed by teeth, but waking up inside these intestines wasn’t pleasant either. As his vision slowly cleared, the sight of the dark red intestines wriggling was somewhat disgusting.a1572f71936274f5

“In the past, whales were sometimes considered monsters…”31f5237e2ea445a0
Around the 18th century, a monster that devoured ships, called the Tanju (吞舟魚), was recorded in Seonghosaseol, written by Lee Ik. The story tells of men who went fishing in the East Sea and were swallowed by a giant mouth but managed to escape. It was said that those who escaped from the monster’s stomach had their hair cooked off, becoming bald.4ffd2adafec45a90

Hae Gijun gave him a look as if to say, “Are you one of those effort freaks too?” Such a cold gaze was familiar, but it still felt strange.

He didn’t want to die, but he thought he couldn’t bear to see Baek Sunwoo’s death in front of him again. So, as he was swallowed by the monster, he felt relieved that he had saved Baek Sunwoo this time and that he wouldn’t have to repeat the dreadful training camp anymore.84af3da7607872f9

Hae Gijun muttered unconsciously. In fact, if he had died at the beginning, he would have just closed his eyes, thinking he was unlucky. Between ‘repeating the training camp 11 times while watching friends die in front of him’ and ‘dying once and ending it,’ he would have chosen the latter.a9aa7b905534e5a3

Even in the round where they were imprisoned, Baek Sunwoo died from the monster’s charge, but other students said that if he hadn’t made noise to lure the monster, it would have run to where they were.

He couldn’t know the answer. Gijun held his breath for a moment… and eventually let it out with a bitter laugh, shaking his head. It must be a coincidence.

The time Hae Gijun and some of the kids were swallowed by the whale-like monster was only about an hour. But in that time, an incredible event occurred. From the moment they were swallowed, or more precisely, from the moment Hae Gijun disappeared from Baek Sunwoo’s sight, he lost control.aecd23f732d98499
At first, he stood frozen, then suddenly grabbed his neck as if he couldn’t breathe… and then his mana exploded outward. The red chains, which had previously been only three or four, increased to a dozen, instantly destroying the space.d2f02f31f9a7551f

Since it was revealed that Baek Sunwoo’s ability was ‘submission,’ the students at Shin Hae High School had feared and avoided him. But they still believed that Baek Sunwoo wouldn’t easily use that ability, and even if they were scared, it was just a slight sense of distance. Just an awkward discomfort among classmates.b350d5450b69a1ae

But the Baek 67bd542257 Sunwoo they saw e6c4b2dd0d today was truly 40f72de5c7 terrifying and chilling. For the first time, his e9867d8832 presence felt frightening. No one dared to 4b6c530417 make a sound in 32a72f0304 the face of his 35fdfe6e03 rampage.0e16d25e58e99046
Only Nam Hyungwook tried to calm Baek Sunwoo. If mana rampage continued for too long, the body couldn’t withstand it. He could die, bleeding from every pore. In fact, the bigger concern was that his rampage might sweep away the other students…d36d06670834b676

Anyway, he tried to talk to him somehow, but Baek Sunwoo didn’t say a word. He just looked at Nam Hyungwook with cold eyes that seemed to glow red and then turned his head. With a cold expression devoid of the usual smile, Baek Sunwoo killed all the monsters.bc676c158a749e17

He checked Baek Sunwoo’s neck, arms, and legs. There was only blood on his clothes, no cuts anywhere. It was proof that the monsters hadn’t even gotten close to him, but Gijun wasn’t reassured and checked more thoroughly.

But seeing Baek Sunwoo calm down only in front of Hae Gijun, he wanted to beg him to keep him close and not let him loose. Just a few minutes ago, Baek Sunwoo’s mana was so sharp that no one could approach, and everyone had to stay away because they couldn’t even breathe nearby.53e2d9d73be59d5f

Hae Gijun blinked at the murmuring response. His question was why Baek Sunwoo didn’t use that much power when he himself had died several times, but only developed so much when Hae Gijun almost died. He knew Baek Sunwoo was quite loyal to him, but this was a bit strange.1ca34eb616564450
Even while thinking that, Gijun gently stroked Baek Sunwoo’s cheek. He had been unconsciously caressing him since Baek Sunwoo kept leaning his face into Gijun’s palm. The focus in Baek Sunwoo’s eyes seemed slightly off…9a17cdbba6b87b1b

While Gijun was 9fc8cadbb9 contemplating, Shim Dokyung 2a9a463313 carefully approached and c8a0a7c63f explained the situation. Since Baek Sunwoo 25f895f9a1 had taken care 1d4ed34dcc of all the 20ba1cc4cf monsters, the other 8c130e43ce students were handling 65b4dcf5fa other tasks.e9ca89f22faea179

Gijun moved his lips slightly. He remembered there being over 50 people in the small auditorium.

There are bombs not only in the second-floor east gate and the small auditorium but also in other locations at the training camp.

And in fact, Hae Gijun was just as puzzled by Baek Sunwoo’s behavior. Previously, he hadn’t stuck this close, but after being swallowed by the monster, his reactions changed. He became anxious in every situation and wouldn’t leave Gijun’s side.a5f645f0b1e940eb
If it were someone else, Gijun might have found it annoying, cumbersome, and honestly questioned their sanity, but… Baek Sunwoo was an exception.
