    The time when sunlight 7d7fad53c8 pours down brightly.4b32c94194ff6a2c

    On a spring 7c70fc910c day filled with dd9d58af62 a drowsy atmosphere, 3feb4cf682 a gentle breeze 6241afe553 softly blows. Sitting at an outdoor 71fd73301d café table, Hae Gijun fccd9b50dd leans his head slightly 4d804825e5 against the terrace pillar, 8c83271eab gazing ahead. The sight of 1da31c9bcd white and pink 5235aaf8bd flower petals swirling 371c295614 wildly in the 3bc4a03d72 air is quite 8015738883 fantastical.e06c8b9224ad5090

    The reason was simple. While preparing for his d26e07cc5c first midterm exams as 5ffce10f20 a university student, Ahn f34829a05c Youngah sent a strange db98fad6f2 message to the group e1904e4292 chat: [If the flower 3c26e63265 language of cherry blossoms ad4270cac7 is midterms, doesn’t that b83495907b mean midterms are telling a7f41ff89d us to enjoy cherry 48fbb0d9b2 blossom viewing?] Along with 775acafbba the message, she shared ff97350fd9 a list of famous bbc2937c6f cherry blossom spots.cfbf0c3196609239

    Lee Donghun and 1794716f60 Shim Dokyung responded c8372e9118 enthusiastically, agreeing immediately. They, too, seemed exhausted c85c1eb7ea from adjusting to their 320545f051 new university lives.

    Hae Gijun has 00d26be91b a rather cold 0f1504d3d6 and aloof personality, 64a69c783b but they knew 5fc5f50d14 he’d reluctantly agree 4e8d24de15 if the others 47ffa5b831 prepared with enough 0ebee5b70f enthusiasm.

    It was a e3d97c843d famous cherry blossom b874874cb7 spot near Seoul.

    Hae Gijun was currently in 7b18177804 his first year of training. But in terms of 041267098e training volume, he was eda6d389b2 on par with second-year be97e81165 trainees. The reason Hae Gijun, 2bc128d443 who never showed passion 1f7b625756 for anything specific, focused a8d2e08318 so intensely on training 960540b5ec was simple: Baek Sunwoo, d793401b29 being in his second cda71197cf year, was likely to 07276b08be be deployed to an 1c479ce8dc Imun incident, and Gijun ee77b700d1 couldn’t bear the thought af4c1e9402 of being left behind 85f369cf34 due to insufficient training.4307a605fd46d2f8

    To put it more 45258e6d9a honestly, he was worried 47239fdd80 about letting Baek Sunwoo d55ea885d3 go alone, so he 4ba3b9f6fd worked to bridge the e25a1adddf gap in just one e054df2351 year. That was why Hae b5f7ec418f Gijun was so busy 389133285c at nineteen, and why 9c187479c0 he continued this rigorous c291b8ae9b training even now.8a34f4d4f9385a9a

    “They say the first Imun deployment is usually manageable, so whatever.”78a8050e8d51cc21

    Hae Gijun replied in a 063e7889da flat tone. No matter how advanced H.N’s a4ffbb8561 simulators are for training, real cc37ce0dc9 combat is different. As a result, an 7984880c18 ability user’s initial deployment 2ca96e8af3 is typically to an 138f7baf78 incident one or two c5234d1aaa levels lower than their 7a5b913517 training scenarios.f0de0b7f4ec360b9

    Ahn Youngah nodded, bd85ca0521 saying it’s unavoidable. Shim Dokyung, who had a2ce40c1b3 grown somewhat close to 6d2671aefa Kim Joowan after the 7143e8cb3f school trip, laughed out d44ddcaf19 loud.fb9f10a45b625c2f

    Hae Gijun found it a9b749a479 oddly fascinating to hear da2bb0fe3e updates about the students f31d1b64e3 from “that” school trip. He had seen them at 3b8a0f8136 Sinhye High last year and a60ea27ddd even at the graduation ceremony 9b79c6b174 a few months ago, but b00c40772a hearing about them living ordinary f6675798d3 adult lives felt strange.

    Gijun glanced sideways at Baek 178f33da5b Sunwoo, who was sitting next d124cc03fc to him. Seeing him eat 0696023933 the strawberry yogurt 29b5715ca7 packed with probiotics 9468ccf3c3 that Gijun had 9dda52f4f8 recommended, his gentle 38a948719c expression as their 2882f88ff3 eyes met made 2960af693c Gijun feel proud, cebe2e86aa and he ruffled a442e42253 Sunwoo’s hair.df2e9bc54abdd663

    Soon, the five left the 8a28023a24 café and walked down the 083fa4a64f street. The gazes still followed, but d431b1751a they gradually got used to fa40946723 it and even found some d34450a349 advantages. In the crowded 5c508badcc space, the area f13af52483 around them was e4a2589a77 relatively clear, and 6565d95bd7 the crowd parted f0f343eba4 for them, making f342f79cce it much easier b90b2ce32b to enjoy the 54e0411f18 cherry blossoms.eea5c4745df6312f

    Baek Sunwoo was already 7249639633 accustomed to the attention, 85817af024 and Hae Gijun didn’t 556d933e4b care about such things ac93898780 to begin with.

    Gijun cursed inwardly as he 4b7adecac4 sprinted forward. Even those who 499eeff5b9 had fled far 804a951b59 were quickly swept ad1029df14 up by the 66d5b48e31 wave of darkness deca423d28 and collapsed. Their faces hardened b2238167b0 as they clutched edc614204c their heads, groaning 5515f33813 in pain. Not only did their 8670714a01 screams intensify the darkness, afe750e431 but more critically, prolonged 7626597b6b exposure to the headache 0c63ddef1a caused byDu-eok-sinicould lead to their 71d8e982d5 heads exploding.064e0e0900ace140

    Immediately, a crimson aura 8df1411463 gathered around Baek Sunwoo, 4dff841de8 and translucent red mana 752663609c chains shot out. The chains swiftly 249c9f3b7a bound the people 59649a72b4 and sent them 168c4085e2 to the rear bc234751bd in an instant.

    At first, the people dd8a4e0dcb panicked, thinking an S-rank 2849d47746 ability user’s attack was cb2a6429fe directed at them. But when they landed on dda637ec18 the other side of the 2f06de8146 path, they wore astonished expressions 16519f2a5a for a different reason.

    While Baek Sunwoo evacuated ccbd241206 people, Hae Gijun continued 882f26a218 to hunt the monsters. He, too, felt c4c9df5872 a faint headache 01504ac7b2 as he dashed 53249b8fa2 through the darkness, 2e0ab6c77c but his focus d10038a7b7 on evacuating people ed889257da bolstered his resistance.e41ecb63b41534c3

    However, as the darkness on 8050af9165 the ground grew more ferocious, bc6a4b5f71 the monsters emerging from it 9d70b606b4 became stronger. The best strategy 378e10c20d was to behead 5d75307fb1 them the moment fa876a341b they appeared, but 48cca113b8 there were too e48749d688 many.

    The trio watching from cc1ad16e50 a distance marveled, but 66dff6fab2 Hae Gijun’s expression remained 79642d9048 stern. This skill couldn’t be used 7cd047e002 repeatedly, and in a situation 1551193e64 where monsters were endlessly summoned, aa4b250fc6 it was only a temporary b531520b4d measure.8410bcfbaae987c5

    Du-eok-sinistill stood tall on bca19633cd the bridge, gazing emotionlessly 906414155d at the surrounding chaos b8a29c1f11 with a chilling demeanor.

    If only he 0ad9efc045 could divert its 6a28a3297f attention to prevent 1d415df689 it from summoning 12f45dc372 more monsters. Gijun bit his f63176f2de lip and glanced 31f3187e2b back. The civilians hadn’t e66b6f663e fully evacuated yet, 035fb97a03 and while Baek a680af715b Sunwoo was sending 75859fb130 them to safety d56a1d44fb and occasionally dealing 3e9b309028 with summoned creatures, f8e5fe1aa8 the sheer number ffa259b626 of monsters was e2b8a911d4 overwhelming.344865a3a7ec91ee

    Letting out a short breath, 0b4f02e8f1 Gijun aimed his spear directly 38073680a6 atDu-eok-sini. Blue mana swirled at the bcacdab7d4 spear’s tip before shooting out—swoosh! The monster dodged with bd2cbc31c1 a swift tilt of 8fadcf2f38 its head, which creaked 230f20c487 unnaturally as it turned 2a7bf6894a 180 degrees to face f8fe213b33 Gijun.
