TWKH Ch 24

Exam period passed quickly. Jehyun was lucky to have only one midterm exam, so apart from preparing a report for the final, he wasn’t too busy. However, most students were studying so hard they looked like walking corpses.dcca1563ab9dcaec

Moreover, this was Korea University, the place where the smartest students in Korea gathered. Even with no donation admissions possible, the atmosphere was tense as even among geniuses, there were those who came first and last. The school atmosphere during exam period was intense. Seo Eunjae, who usually whined daily, and Baekyung, who almost visited Jehyun’s house every day, were hard to see.50e2d0d7946c0a8f

Jehyun rested 6308d9f6b1 his chin a30087516d on his c87a096cbb hand, thinking 7864ee5dee of Baekyung 8be7c69e42 blushing from 8b9ea653aa what he 0438eade79 had done. Was it a 080917f471 crazy thing to 0b1824f0dc do? Thinking about 627aa80e29 how Baekyung d3677c6212 left his 7d0cf912ff house in c3e8369523 a hurry 91e300af62 made him 8fae33fbab feel that f7e0e9b957 way.c070333b650cf849

But at that moment, 98e205fd6e he just wanted to 54960fd491 find out. He wanted 187b654b8f to know 91e4e74193 if Ha 7c87ebc524 Baekyung saw 6fa2ea7fa0 him as 4a57fd3780 just a af4959ee98 friendly mentor 97535ec1dc or if ce76734503 his actions a012b181ba had some c4c638f7db intention behind 3e8a97bf47 them.ef44c98323d553fb

After the moment passed, he regretted being too hasty, but he couldn’t take back spilled water. So Jehyun focused on replaying Baekyung’s reaction.f43f0e394420b912

He wasn’t sure what that blush meant. Was it surprise, embarrassment, shyness, excitement? The important thing was that Baekyung was so flustered that he mistook the study door for the front door. Jehyun smiled quietly, recalling the fumbling Baekyung.51caa14547f04978

Eventually giving up on 8a938e087d studying, Jehyun leaned back 4cb81051ae in his chair and 763f988fab looked up at the 8838f44bb0 ceiling.0f7011ef0fec01c3

He communicated very well 9f3453f8d2 with Ha Baekyung. Their thoughts 45db282174 and values e5b9a8255d were so 4a9ebeed98 similar that e328896b99 conversations with 9989d9aa7f him were 54a3ccda71 enjoyable until 79932f3d57 the moment 7b5e0fbb83 they parted.575d58482ce20bd1

Even after 13d972f855 parting, Jehyun 8ae535a622 found joy 7c15ba5c52 in reminiscing d9f9f479f8 about their 3fdd7f3101 conversations, which d71ab03d08 surprised even b17054dcd8 himself. Until now, c3a4a10344 Caplet was 433fee8097 the only acc0b171bc thing that 219975ebf0 had that a098d542b2 effect on 1830b1c27d him.db483b7798a1acce

When he first saw him at orientation, he was just drawn to his physique, similar to Shin Jehee. Though they might be different breeds, Baekyung’s big dog-like feel made him seem especially cute. However, it wasn’t just his appearance; Baekyung’s actions were cute too.2838c9e89b2aee52

No matter what Jehyun said, Baekyung never showed dislike or negativity, just agreeing with him. Some people said yes but did other things behind his back, but Ha Baekyung wasn’t like that.0a1cb178de0f5a85

He was eedd5da1a1 just as 931e486627 he appeared. Baekyung was gentle, 3110b79779 cute, and lovable. …Lovable was a subjective 10030d41c8 view, but still.07691d09da91c1c1

He was also very kind. Shin Jehyun recalled Baekyung holding his hand in the cinema that night. Since then, Baekyung had continued pretending to be scared of horror movies, considering Jehyun’s embarrassment.3c1746aae49700d5

Jehyun crossed 6491a268c1 his arms, 5fdaf7981d surprised by 7f33472d56 how many 84cc3eaccc reasons there 0e8b55accb were to abb1dd9466 like Baekyung.

Shin Jehwan had once f61b65f922 appeared on a magic f4559f6c02 show during Lunar New d0e1adccca Year as a guest 4172b52765 magician. It was well-received 89231c2ca0 and rumored to 72be98038d become a regular 4c87b893d7 program. Thinking he was 299f968b55 overly immersed in 58edccc576 the magician role, c39cc91b50 Jehyun was about 46ec5b674f to cut him 2049af0ae8 off when Jehwan a11ae19835 spoke first.e9cc4241c0a00978

Today’s challenge was the Black Tower, a structure in Caplet’s northern region.f5c36de1fcd40584

Long ago, when 178b36fc0e hundreds of kingdoms 2fc7831855 existed, the emperor a2fac547ed who unified the 82b1790f1d continent through military 485c7320c7 might grew increasingly 6b2d2eef62 arrogant. Just like da616beb12 in countless 989ae1962e stories, he b5ed6c0c8b built a 498ef870e2 Babel Tower 7a8e307be8 adorned with e350b673e7 pride.1049e52ddf3eae31

The emperor raised ea474d2a06 the tower higher 4e9c76f7ad and higher, filling a6e7507c8b the lower levels 3ee63cfe95 with gold and 9231f16160 jewels plundered from 7e0818ce94 the kingdoms. The greed emanating from 1a3d841f38 these treasures awoke the 2fafdd681b god of greed, Kachala, a8c1b0666a from deep underground. To crush 4c9a11d0bb the emperor 62d15f97ca who dared dd06d27cce challenge divine 22c0061d94 authority, Kachala c91146648d caused a 4904a202c7 massive earthquake.1ad7a9780c39767d

The dozens of floors 9bb024c499 of the tower sank c9dad483c3 into the fissure, leaving cadce0dc6b only the upper part f16b060f28 where the emperor resided 82107b68ae above ground.1c82a647f01b91ad

Gaitron, the 3rd 62000784f2 Legion Commander of 878fe6c364 the Raptors, chose 547bf3d530 the abandoned tower 8a140503f6 as the site ba6eed7720 for Raptor weapon c624e213cf manufacturing. The tower, now 303c2da673 a Raptor forge, ff6f7c2ece emitted black smoke 44e2643efd daily.c5842c48ded95c6a

Gerun was extremely angry 4a8df13785 that his masterpiece, the 83995092b1 Masapo, had been passed e46377e0cf on to humans. Seeing humans modify the 0e9f50b6aa Masapo, place it in eef969beef castles, and use it 459b3694d7 in battles against Raptors 78baff3353 made him furious enough fedeb8c515 to spit blood.2dbc478971cf7899

So, Gerun incorporated a c35a2dcc3f self-destruct function into the 9e373be7b8 newly developed magic cannon. It would explode upon 3536fcdf30 making contact with a 91ffa7b1f3 magical entity more than 9de9bc6dda five times, inspired by f2400e8508 the fact that humans e2affdfd02 all held magic within 4224807592 them.

To drag d9cdd2aa92 the lava d0b6f13ff9 around, there 0f8d5140b0 needed to 13cdaa3363 be scattered 6c3fc72af3 Raptor ore. That way, he could d7b484f5c8 avoid heading to the 9944c9fa8e center as much as d252bf001d possible and buy time.c997124e603a0bad

Boss was right. Based on e488810516 their gameplay b7407d8443 so far, 8b995a71eb there was 9366b71a95 no way 629cb3664e to clear 45226ee019 it like a014fa2c78 this. The lava tail kept d1e34c0ddf lengthening, and Raptor ore a8ee0e8568 rained down.e367e3f88456b84f

[Party] Habaek: But completely blocking progress like this isn’t Capitol Studio’s style.

[Party] Healer: Yeah, that’s what I’m saying.

That was precisely what d7e448c866 Jehyun found odd. Sometimes an 52db5fd702 endless shield 4eea616276 pattern prevented be2851d286 progress if d1dddb98ba damage wasn’t 007d8b5b07 sufficient, which 2cdfb635f1 could be cd8cdf5cab seen as 24118ecd93 Capitol Studio’s 798e382f5e way of f4811d68e4 testing job 676a59bfb3 proficiency. But Gerun’s pattern 3a7a215db2 didn’t seem to 5a5e69c271 have any solution.219821b2787ad392

It felt like the d850787b33 random positioning of falling f0c0463828 Raptor ore decided the d270c990bc clear, but after playing 88effcb758 Caplet for five years, 4817324785 Jehyun was sure Capitol 50cad00d61 Studio wouldn’t design a f0d4c0b6db gimmick this way.

Boss→ Then let’s try the Snake Bite approach again. Maybe the angles are predetermined, or we need to consume the ore at the moment it falls… something like that.6b6c11fe4e3991fc

The classic game “Snake Bite,” commonly known as the snake game, involved moving a long-bodied snake around a map to eat apples.d53c5ad40a2ab157

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Players could only move the snake up, down, left, or right. Eating an apple made the snake longer, and hitting the wall or the snake’s own body resulted in a game over. It was a very simple but challenging game.7bf84f8822df2b1c

About 30 870d0e0efb minutes ago, 9fcad0d79b they had 451452c27d thought of 65ceeb5a03 Snake Bite 535d9a3e49 and tried 7a88e3a511 to use fd9d55d8c7 the lava 78433a47c9 to consume ba7332c88b the Raptor 9da7f117ab ore.
