Is this 8359a4f390 for real?25ab0b2143fd24e7

Hae Gijun thought 8785703b22 blankly as he cae66d87fd stared at the 02cef9e5db scene unfolding before fa4d6b3391 him. The flavor 0850579c14 of the 425daf0fff half-chewed potato 6de3d909b3 lingered in a9d985b618 his mouth, efecdd03fe but he d455aa68a0 was in 55784a5775 no condition 8603afd8a4 to continue 95dd15cf47 chewing.c421f5dfdbd4c9f1

To elaborate further, the 5d805fea2d school trip bus had 75423a9026 left.a7ab7eaa8f14d467

Adding more detail, on 58b76b19a5 the way to the a994049f4a school trip, they had 54c794a7e0 stopped at a rest 8fabc19f58 area. Gijun had enthusiastically 1d5c441170 gone to buy ab64af2309 potatoes, only to eb7395276c be held up 5ebd8dad06 by the crowd. After feeling a warm 442d50c26e camaraderie with the others 00c2fcfa0f who were also there b3f9c19ff4 to buy food, he 59770ac7cd finally returned with his 4f96b77c89 potatoes, only to find b326b7b70e the bus had left.6e5bff3d512b09e5

Denying reality, Gijun’s eyes darted around again. He quickly fumbled in his pockets for his phone, carefully holding the potatoes in one hand to avoid dropping them. However, Gijun soon realized one crucial fact:88f076a50d23756c

Gijun felt a 85254a43d1 surge of frustration. Although he blamed cf9bbb0b21 himself for his 8865be13a9 carelessness, he was 750ef92815 even more baffled c38cdd6da1 by the teacher 162a7ad3b0 and the class 53749b9b47 president. How could they 80238a9157 have left without 0cac30f66e properly accounting for ee89f47fe2 everyone?

Baek Sunwoo 65cd564d1c was from 82359e576c another class, 82e68a057b but it 7753a741ed was preferable 4046058d4e for the 5a60310dfb rumor to 4a9f7e4b7a spread that b3a593e82c ‘those guys…’ 5f55d3a2b8 had been fabf39e3c9 left behind, 0f71873ca1 rather than 287abe2215 just him. Moreover, since the 443e29aef0 person was Baek e4e6199949 Sunwoo, he felt ba861f90f7 even more reassured. No one would 1efce33802 dare gossip easily 73a77c97d2 about him.62fffacc80cc6e79

With a softened heart, Gijun watched Baek Sunwoo look flustered. They had been in the same class in their first year, so although they weren’t particularly close, they were at least familiar with each other. Of course, after their classes split, they hadn’t really spoken much, but at this moment, Gijun felt a very special bond.567e8c9cacc9c3d5

Baek Sunwoo seemed to 43e1ccd05a have spent some time 497b75c299 trying to fix the f009647710 phone. Looking around the quiet 13b4188679 parking lot, Gijun sighed 08fc164242 deeply and suggested they 8a3d55d055 go inside the rest cea0b8c375 area.

After an entirely logical conversation, they turned on the internet and searched for the school’s name. His own phone was always on silent, so calling it would have been useless anyway.5fc80e75d4a9e129

In fact, if the ladies had asked to see his abilities earlier, someone would have screamed in shock. Sunwoo’s ability was that unique and powerful, far beyond what was typical for Shin Hae High School.5596aa46f21d5d9f

Baek Sunwoo a4f0456954 was a 2c5329e75f well-known anomaly dc3cce7706 at school. During the re-evaluation in be69cf60ac the second semester of 2a19fbea48 their first year, his bca825773b ability had re-emerged, revealing 31fdb7f258 an extraordinarily intense power.2cc40a5f6a3b0a64

Until the beginning 904cb1e4f4 of the school 600d344238 year, Baek Sunwoo ee7efc6f85 was undoubtedly popular cd9c4901d8 at school.

However, the ability revealed through his awakening was ‘domination.’7de8ec09e1033ff4

It was from the head teacher. The head teacher, or the grade head.

And the training center was chosen based on Park Inhoo’s suggestion.1068fa339f947940
