TWKH Ch 24

Exam period passed quickly. Jehyun was lucky to have only one midterm exam, so apart from preparing a report for the final, he wasn’t too busy. However, most students were studying so hard they looked like walking corpses.edfbab3a6728935f

Moreover, this was Korea University, the place where the smartest students in Korea gathered. Even with no donation admissions possible, the atmosphere was tense as even among geniuses, there were those who came first and last. The school atmosphere during exam period was intense. Seo Eunjae, who usually whined daily, and Baekyung, who almost visited Jehyun’s house every day, were hard to see.dcf88f9441e7912f

Jehyun rested 7dc6069eb3 his chin b93110fb2a on his 40216223c5 hand, thinking 02c7df61ee of Baekyung 6b2d56e963 blushing from 5605a9e545 what he b48673e3cb had done. Was it a c544ac347b crazy thing to 1346e4936d do? Thinking about how e91913e063 Baekyung left his 4253800e32 house in a 832ad5085c hurry made him 0f4d252645 feel that way.8d2277f6558b35c3

But at fe566b7b28 that moment, 8d3c19fd87 he just ba9c2b0f8e wanted to b863359933 find out. He wanted 9d1316ace2 to know 6a83e0ea66 if Ha de91115146 Baekyung saw 7a05ff918f him as 6d1ed3563b just a d12f9a7d26 friendly mentor a4ae6d2f39 or if 9d2e9f650f his actions e6c975ab4b had some 22600b6477 intention behind 5890ff49b2 them.590c4b8e6c803abb

After the moment passed, he regretted being too hasty, but he couldn’t take back spilled water. So Jehyun focused on replaying Baekyung’s reaction.8744fd21f8a09ec8

He wasn’t sure what that blush meant. Was it surprise, embarrassment, shyness, excitement? The important thing was that Baekyung was so flustered that he mistook the study door for the front door. Jehyun smiled quietly, recalling the fumbling Baekyung.6d3a12541512cd2f

Eventually giving c01f42a6e2 up on fb6c509975 studying, Jehyun 845e0523fe leaned back d1ebb1f9c3 in his 63e8f7fb71 chair and a24c107afd looked up b36dc354ed at the 0f6840c8ab ceiling.4d3083dbacca7d28

He communicated very well 864ba87a86 with Ha Baekyung. Their thoughts and values d0122e966b were so similar that 913ceb69cd conversations with him were b6c41a357b enjoyable until the moment c3795d654d they parted.5968ebbc730add55

When he first saw him at orientation, he was just drawn to his physique, similar to Shin Jehee. Though they might be different breeds, Baekyung’s big dog-like feel made him seem especially cute. However, it wasn’t just his appearance; Baekyung’s actions were cute too.03c2b010231db06a

No matter what Jehyun said, Baekyung never showed dislike or negativity, just agreeing with him. Some people said yes but did other things behind his back, but Ha Baekyung wasn’t like that.7245ce72b95ff361

He was just 5417f42bea as he appeared. Baekyung was gentle, efbfd85024 cute, and lovable. …Lovable was a 2e402c0686 subjective view, but 686d28311b still.600157c05058a1c1

He was also very kind. Shin Jehyun recalled Baekyung holding his hand in the cinema that night. Since then, Baekyung had continued pretending to be scared of horror movies, considering Jehyun’s embarrassment.0796aec212a97511

Today’s challenge was the Black Tower, a structure in Caplet’s northern region.3830b6c7b9001435

Long ago, when hundreds 4f0615bd26 of kingdoms existed, the 29470c1d92 emperor who unified the 0f1c4084c2 continent through military might 502d2e8184 grew increasingly arrogant. Just like 348f0b34bd in countless 3ccfb24caf stories, he f2d9f31ae8 built a e951a5d53f Babel Tower deb6663f72 adorned with 1bee0b7e28 pride.4394457f531e3451

The greed 15513a5ea8 emanating from 40e5869bca these treasures 06701ab613 awoke the 9009da9a74 god of 2f5d770bcc greed, Kachala, aef5d3f881 from deep 59a5a00437 underground. To crush the f9ef324ad4 emperor who dared e4c47581a9 challenge divine authority, 9e0ff03a32 Kachala caused a dbca06ec3c massive earthquake.e0b6790e539dec76

The dozens e69ab52b13 of floors 47028043f1 of the 369218d697 tower sank 2ef662e32e into the ceeac18870 fissure, leaving 51b3e2925b only the c952cfe28b upper part 158e969628 where the 4fecaaf4ee emperor resided a3f18b7b65 above ground.63c9e3d952455fe8

Everyone already 8dd7ee4d06 knew what ef826e6a39 happened when 13fa4d55d9 the magic 936bde76d3 cannon’s number 403300e717 reached five. They couldn’t not know.

Gerun was 1d47308c18 extremely angry bfce32dd49 that his bf54d36997 masterpiece, the 9847f8f3cc Masapo, had 8d57023205 been passed 86e9d828c5 on to 266a2edf0e humans. Seeing humans modify 43305c2ee6 the Masapo, place 76ed19f709 it in castles, ab252a1e68 and use it 273233e02c in battles against 74186674df Raptors made him ba2c7ce6f4 furious enough to 94ac8b9172 spit blood.bb23c927013037ce

So, Gerun incorporated a cc7d739b8f self-destruct function into the 44eff294a3 newly developed magic cannon. It would explode upon 00ebf2551a making contact with a 2eade861d9 magical entity more than 7e14f91415 five times, inspired by 09dba8c02b the fact that humans 35891286d9 all held magic within 4b6a7f9963 them. It was a 5504e13dbe determination to never da4cfe2759 let humans have 9de6e9def0 the magic cannon.88a7fb4fcda68490

Of course, the 128ff7aa95 magic cannon itself b72ad206bf was imbued with 9b598f56fe magic, so just ff9b0715b7 brushing against another 045e7bed96 magic cannon would d6ddb9a05c trigger self-destruction. As the lava lengthened b1c47b28c1 like a game of 0446a69ae5 snake and burning Raptor 22eb2dcbfe ore rained down, players dd7113dccd unintentionally brushing against each aec715db4c other’s cannons edged closer d0d04920f6 to a wipe.3211d4bd2dc43a9b

To drag a28fc7ea6b the lava 58edd1b16e around, there 671b26bc1f needed to 6656c06fa5 be scattered 5c3c8bec57 Raptor ore. That way, 1cc486ca1f he could 83fa9069ce avoid heading 4450713dee to the 412ec6d1d0 center as bcd4bc7ecd much as 51a71dd733 possible and d9c08fa540 buy time.6ad42104e6d73c41

However, as time passed, f81be13259 more ore made it 4c8269a766 impossible for Jehuyn to 8f6e67c50e find a spot to a8d531a82b move.

Boss was right. Based on their cd4be5d94e gameplay so far, e3ce3c3d79 there was no c6ebac5c38 way to clear 6d616322b9 it like this. The lava tail kept c8a37477e4 lengthening, and Raptor ore 6de28d072f rained down.3b1fa81763a7d082

[Party] Habaek: But completely blocking progress like this isn’t Capitol Studio’s style.

[Party] Healer: Yeah, that’s what I’m saying.

That was precisely a885bc24f6 what Jehyun found 00543e1e37 odd. Sometimes an endless shield 63fc4dafeb pattern prevented progress if 6b04ac5db4 damage wasn’t sufficient, which e0ddb39701 could be seen as 6de903b2f2 Capitol Studio’s way of beffd8f044 testing job proficiency. But Gerun’s pattern 3ea6a36ad7 didn’t seem to 6010f2eade have any solution.375338af2867f743

It felt like 99e6d108e5 the random positioning d21c83ffd3 of falling Raptor 038d5ec1f2 ore decided the b88dfb7216 clear, but after 3a70948ca7 playing Caplet for 37a84779e9 five years, Jehyun b82bf53c76 was sure Capitol 5059cdc196 Studio wouldn’t design 0709848585 a gimmick this e6b67260bf way.

Boss→ Then let’s try the Snake Bite approach again. Maybe the angles are predetermined, or we need to consume the ore at the moment it falls… something like that.ed74ecd6a92c74b2

The classic game “Snake Bite,” commonly known as the snake game, involved moving a long-bodied snake around a map to eat apples.6059f0fdcc1a97d9

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Players could only move the snake up, down, left, or right. Eating an apple made the snake longer, and hitting the wall or the snake’s own body resulted in a game over. It was a very simple but challenging game.c00895676ba29c53

About 30 minutes ago, 4b1ba3a065 they had thought of d6618d10e8 Snake Bite and tried d4c8db7991 to use the lava f09dc90406 to consume the Raptor 8243997248 ore. However, the attempt had b8ab9db03b failed. The lava followed 6c1f32d53b right behind Jehyun, 4c684ffe67 and for the cb933a2585 lava to touch 96c5a241ea the ore, Jehyun 3e6fd216a6 at the front c672ffeb47 had to rush 80a41a81d8 into the ore, a0232353d1 which led to 0c1dc08079 Healer’s immediate death.

The strategy resumed. As soon e81db6c867 as the 3652c26c65 countdown ended, f6e5ecc1bf they got f2cb956b41 on the 6e4af3a57e magic cannons ab6b697e2d and lined 2301e59b7e up in a96d412301 the center f4e9d24bba again to 46608b45cd avoid the c8764ebfd6 initial rising 1482e8ec1c lava pattern. Then Gerun summoned the e4aa12f358 lava, and the lava 62efb4b23b targeting went to Boss.e7e991cc0c7aad8a

Jehyun closed his eyes 011c0326b5 tightly against the devil’s 8420394bd8 temptation. It felt like having 59c55f0aef an answer sheet in 7312ef83aa front of him before 5be8408367 a mock exam.cc52f9cd79b5b867
