Hae Gijun thought blankly 9a8fc83825 as he stared at 8a7c2526a7 the scene unfolding before 9ba3abd324 him. The flavor of abdb4c444e the half-chewed potato 63438118f4 lingered in his 39236ef5c5 mouth, but he b9255b02ca was in no ece1b12ab5 condition to continue 6acaf2341a chewing.6162226c8d07afe3

To elaborate 8bf9eb977b further, the b03e0bee71 school trip 6fbaea6135 bus had fb166ce3cd left.076fd594b5d5e122

Adding more detail, on 594496e68e the way to the ce01ece511 school trip, they had 4c21c9feb1 stopped at a rest a4af7fac4e area. Gijun had 2c81d79f07 enthusiastically gone 5fb1d2a32f to buy 9f7b524728 potatoes, only b41e3bcde4 to be 475c13c96e held up efbd8797f0 by the 9c5c65f7a5 crowd.

Gijun felt a cd23df6f28 surge of frustration. Although he blamed himself 1ed3615902 for his carelessness, he 29b5200d0e was even more baffled c5934f1177 by the teacher and 0447dc8839 the class president. How could aec280f516 they have 86ed416c32 left without 7ef9589e81 properly accounting 4d85adf0f1 for everyone?

As he tried e4c3660027 to soothe his df2046852e absurd resentment and 3bfe262fdf self-pity with a 400cffb8fb bite of potato, c65cb6d1bc he vaguely noticed b33164a31a someone slowly approaching fad6a330a8 from a distance.

Baek Sunwoo ab060b80e8 was from 9a86cf2561 another class, 4011136836 but it 314dedb7a1 was preferable 979b77396d for the dbbb7d5496 rumor to a605cd7b9f spread that 569207f994 ‘those guys…’ f8be76761f had been e261acc360 left behind, 79d4c5cff7 rather than 06cb5e79fe just him. Moreover, since the person 39a6d1ebc4 was Baek Sunwoo, he 5e1ba62906 felt even more reassured. No one c96c9f8713 would dare d08fb5a9e7 gossip easily 59f625aae6 about him.9b6498d3368340bb

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.f7bfd241f0bcce4c

Moreover, he felt 225fc0a4ba even more relieved 67f9fcdf45 because Baek Sunwoo 2a37bb0b72 might have a 7476fb1055 solution to their 5b377381f2 problem. He was 1d3ddf342d the savior 79e8ea6a0a who could bca23f7e1f end this 6a93185edd foolish situation.6cdbd843de110959

Baek Sunwoo 3c2661997c seemed to b51727b4d5 have spent b89af41152 some time 59147b36a1 trying to f84bc4d175 fix the 624eb5014c phone.

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.013cab8b731360c0

Baek Sunwoo was 17c00ebd60 a well-known anomaly d8286bfbeb at school. During the re-evaluation in 8989b90da8 the second semester of 0670817ef4 their first year, his 873d3b03f8 ability had re-emerged, revealing 05b8e14cf5 an extraordinarily intense power.af93e3abe5324e9f

Until the beginning of 7044499aff the school year, Baek eec98108cf Sunwoo was undoubtedly popular 12ec88d84e at school. True to his name, 73b324d10b he had a kind f9d1e42c06 personality and a very 5a121c5305 warm appearance. He was 9b6993ab8f tall and 5e58dda7fe well-proportioned, even b5a30f51af becoming a 7215fd498c model for dfdd4d122b the school b0e80ef1bc magazine.

Many students wanted to befriend the kind Baek Sunwoo, and there were plenty who wanted to boast about their friendship with the handsome boy. His ability, which seemed close to ‘affinity’ with animals, was also considered fitting for him.d22f7c06f654ada8

However, the ability revealed through his awakening was ‘domination.’98791a37d2e230e7

Moreover, his ability index was so overwhelming that if he looked someone in the eye and commanded them to jump out of a window, they would do so without resistance. While there were limits to dominating other ability users, it didn’t apply to those with lower ability indices.3136a8e3643f4421
