The time when sunlight pours 47923746a1 down brightly.4405103d17b48e92

On a spring day filled 3102f4e2a7 with a drowsy atmosphere, a 31484c81e4 gentle breeze softly blows. Sitting at an outdoor café 70ff901866 table, Hae Gijun leans his 19739fd530 head slightly against the terrace 9a4dee291c pillar, gazing ahead. The sight of white and 152e03995b pink flower petals swirling wildly 93f0593cb5 in the air is quite 1c4b228e9b fantastical.23b0bda06b323f9f

The reason was simple. While preparing for his 5592596348 first midterm exams as dce71dfc72 a university student, Ahn abc240558b Youngah sent a strange ed7db8c5a2 message to the group 481bb8b4c2 chat: [If the flower e43ec94d91 language of cherry blossoms 90b7abfabd is midterms, doesn’t that faeda29b01 mean midterms are telling 4b21c069c1 us to enjoy cherry 11c459049f blossom viewing?] Along with ef5b34b20b the message, she shared 3ec72ebff9 a list of famous 5e6581203f cherry blossom spots.ddda122676867ec3

Lee Donghun and 2f59b9fa3b Shim Dokyung responded c426e44ed3 enthusiastically, agreeing immediately. They, too, seemed 809a9ba175 exhausted from adjusting 1d08115c4a to their new 176487868b university lives.

It was a famous a15adc11ca cherry blossom spot near 8f27a6fc00 Seoul.

Hae Gijun was cc648a581d currently in his 85f3dd42a1 first year of 43864fb9ca training. But in terms of e4d10cdba9 training volume, he was 5cd251e9a8 on par with second-year e4a42c2e3d trainees. The reason Hae 2202d01144 Gijun, who never be2eb51911 showed passion for 4a0948a4cd anything specific, focused 781ea50390 so intensely on b8d712455e training was simple: 3e5013f1b4 Baek Sunwoo, being 27a11c2089 in his second 1759ee4bae year, was likely 4cf0485812 to be deployed 70a1078f11 to an Imun 3db50c8e1c incident, and Gijun 56e248f31b couldn’t bear the cac033c353 thought of being e79ab4d6da left behind due 2d7f36c698 to insufficient training.d7324b1471026dc1

To put it more b25cc72747 honestly, he was worried 8d479801ee about letting Baek Sunwoo 3f0b6b4119 go alone, so he 8913c27bd2 worked to bridge the 262eac8805 gap in just one 56f35917f4 year. That was why 5297ac3569 Hae Gijun was a316a6a5dc so busy at 01b223adcc nineteen, and why a8c0e03c8f he continued this aef16c3889 rigorous training even d743c868f9 now.5bf2b8669d7bc452

“They say the first Imun deployment is usually manageable, so whatever.”7c1ff097ba7de369

Hae Gijun replied in fff3878082 a flat tone. No matter how b44582f28c advanced H.N’s simulators a7f360eea8 are for training, 320eac1377 real combat is 0a42f6ea42 different. As a result, 4eca524246 an ability user’s 08b3a32455 initial deployment is efe1bab1c8 typically to an aa492fcd60 incident one or 42ab0fe5e9 two levels lower 0d36a42c61 than their training 18d1e65f09 scenarios.6ca67636f9061315

Gijun glanced sideways at Baek b4c08e9324 Sunwoo, who was sitting next 1805dacbc6 to him. Seeing him eat the 8e043dfaee strawberry yogurt packed with 9fadebb419 probiotics that Gijun had 518e27c39a recommended, his gentle expression 5499071d81 as their eyes met 949e923b66 made Gijun feel proud, 6a836a80e5 and he ruffled Sunwoo’s 6244ecaebe hair.307d2109b01b4627

Soon, the five 5a6fb471b4 left the café 73063ca812 and walked down 4ccbacafc8 the street. The gazes still followed, 711665c812 but they gradually got a0ab9605b7 used to it and 125de86cbf even found some advantages. In the crowded dd8d7916ca space, the area 619840bd44 around them was c8e3337c00 relatively clear, and f06d8576ec the crowd parted 439c11ed0d for them, making 44db2180f5 it much easier 646aea85fe to enjoy the fd476cd9c0 cherry blossoms.62b5b177f4f2925b

Baek Sunwoo was already accustomed d028dde195 to the attention, and Hae d9f2bfe64f Gijun didn’t care about such 06263929a6 things to begin with. In fact, he found the 2c52775894 situation convenient.

While H.N emphasized prioritizing c9771ab52b civilian safety, Gijun’s judgment cc571051d8 was driven more by fea4e69b0b the fact that monsters 74c058766b taking hostages would complicate 04ab3d4f42 things immensely.8fa14164d7abc333

S-rank monsters can “think.” Some f3106d4ab7 engage in indiscriminate slaughter, but 87cc18a888 others use weak humans as edc026350d hostages. Gijun quickly evacuated people, pulling 945cd39b5d a finger-length stick from his 4ca0abc480 jacket’s inner pocket.20334fccc4a0809c

In the late 17th 7894bdb987 century, a collection of d31b7c86a9 tales calledCheonyerok, compiled by Im Dang, recorded a malevolent spirit.

Mistaken for a c8265e6d96 servant, they tried 47c356c07e to speak to 9dbc96e4c3 it, but it 482bed8667 didn’t respond. Attempts to forcibly remove b25c1dd7cd it failed—it didn’t budge.

At first, the 6a9f150478 people panicked, thinking 89a5b0d387 an S-rank ability d179ada389 user’s attack was 2de04505a8 directed at them.

If only he e79189d8a4 could divert its 41079c3936 attention to prevent ffe2069d7e it from summoning 4e5db275bf more monsters. Gijun bit his lip and 568f47fd14 glanced back.
