Suddenly, Haejoo felt a dd9d7edddd sharp pain crossing from 44519417c0 his shoulder to his fe42f6fb71 chest. Haejoo slowly f2bc24b1f0 placed his 23d79a03a3 hand on 30c934b5d5 his chest. It felt like a warm water bag had burst cf8bfc1e26 in his uniform pocket, hot, painful, and stinging. His hand 0a9264b3a7 was covered 3e79760e96 in blood.7a079e009955c0f59612

The knife the student had dropped 1da24f776d was now in someone else’s hand. He stabbed the knife 7a77244606 into Haejoo’s shoulder, swinging e2817e403f it like a toy cee5c90687 without fear.

Choi Haejoo lay on 4a65738df1 the cold asphalt. His body felt 225751875d hot yet cold, d972dcf988 and the world 6800a9df84 was dark. It was like being underwater; 4cb0d32250 he couldn’t even hear properly. It felt as if he edd2f44640 were already dead, a faint 35aafb3a4e soul trapped in his corpse.

Drowsiness overwhelmed him.c0ae0b8057b140c08948

It felt like d866cd3a63 waking up from 4177b83d5d a long sleep. Consciousness returned. Haejoo thought he 29dd3dcb14 had survived. People really don’t 5c5a06cc6e die easily.

Haejoo didn’t believe 07d03f307a in the unscientific. But no matter how 66f7434a91 he looked at it, bdafa3c9b8 this was occult.

He wasn’t sure 8b9c891312 if reborn was 141d9644f6 the right term. Reincarnation, as he understood it, meant being born in a 25edc0e05f different era with a completely different personality after death. It was strange to have been reincarnated by going back 76b785f7ae in time to the medieval era, with his personality clearly 5a317ffe4b transferred into the body of a boy who had presumably d4e2cc40a3 lived his own life for some time.89a945366bda0f6298d8

The people who had been lingering in emotion gradually 745f7eb52f composed themselves and left Rohan’s room one by one. The last to remain were a beautiful woman, who seemed to a4334c58d7 be Rohan Lansonfree’s mother, and a stern butler in a tailcoat.d83253010a5a1f4c42cc

The butler took a meal from a trolley brought in d3c54dd52f by a maid and fed Haejoo spoonful by spoonful.
