Chapter 19: University

‘How did that drug addict get here?’

Although he was wearing a mask and sunglasses, I could tell at a glance.

He was clearly the potential drug criminal the viewers had shown me.

Rona looked at him and spoke curtly.

“What?

Why did you come?”

“Of course, I came to eat.”

But the person next to you is…”

“My friend’s older sister. We came to eat together.”

At Rona’s answer, the drug addict stared intently at me, and before long, he smiled affably and handed me two business cards.

“Pleased to meet you. I’m Roun, belonging to the Haeyeon Guild. I run a small club, so please come if you have time! I’ll make sure you don’t regret it!”

‘Wow, he completely has a drug addict vibe…’

From his face and tone of voice to the way he handed me a club business card, the aura of a drug addict was palpable.

I took the business card for now, but I’ll throw it away later.

“I’ve eaten, so I’ll leave now. You stay here and eat.”

“Heh, that’s too much. You could eat with me.”

“If you follow me, you’ll die. Let’s go, Unnie.”

“Uh, yeah.”

After leaving the gukbap restaurant and strolling on the street, Rona suddenly burst into anger and messed up her hair.

“Aahhh!

He followed me again!

There’s really no place he doesn’t follow me!”

I was so curious about their relationship, I couldn’t help but wonder.

“What kind of place is that club?”

“…It’s simple.”

It’s a place where that bich calls his acquaintances and political figures to party…!”

‘Wow, the smell of drugs is getting stronger…’

I shouldn’t get close to him.

“Then you must have gotten a business card too.”

“Yes, but I refused, and he keeps nagging me to come. I’m going crazy because of him!”

It seems this isn’t the first or second time this has happened.

I feel bad for her.

How did she end up catching the eye of that drug addict bich.

Rona calmed down and continued the conversation.

“Hmph… I’m sorry for getting angry. Then where should we go now? Is there anywhere you want to go?”

Somewhere I want to go…

“Hmm, university?”

“University? The university I attend?”

Seeing Haim go to attend lectures at the university always made me curious.

What kind of place is a university, I wonder?

My student life only lasted until middle school, so my school days were shorter than others, and I couldn’t help but develop this curiosity.

“…Hmm, alright. There’s nothing particularly special, so let’s go.”

We got on a bus and headed towards the university area, and when we arrived at the university entrance, I exclaimed in admiration.

“Wow….”

“Is this your first time at a university, Unnie?”

“Yes.”

So this is what a university looks like.

Students wearing university jackets were walking on the street.

To think I’ve come to S University, where only the best talents in Korea attend.

“Our university is wide, so you might get lost. You have to follow me properly.”

Tap tap.

Someone who was about to follow Rona tapped my shoulder with their finger.

We stopped walking for a moment.

Turning around, I saw a man shyly holding out his smartphone to me.

“E-excuse me, you’re really my type, could you please give me your Instagram ID?!”

“……?”

I turned my head back and looked at Rona again.

I sent a message with my eyes.

‘Is this perhaps asking me?’

Nod.

Rona nodded her head.

This has become quite awkward.

As I was thinking about how to refuse, a group of men behind the guy were standing a distance away, sneering.

Now I understood the situation.

‘Ah, it’s a dare!’

I felt sorry for the guy, but I couldn’t possibly accept a confession I didn’t feel anything for.

“I’m sorry, but I’ll refuse.”

“Ah, yes. I’m the one who should be sorry!”

The man blushed and quickly ran towards his group.

I’m envious of having friends like that.

We walked around the university area and talked.

“But that guy is amazing. He even asked for Unnie’s Instagram ID.”

“Really? I thought it was just a dare.”

“No way? Who would confess to a woman like Unnie as a joke? Most of them would be serious.”

Rona complimented how pretty I was, but it didn’t really sink in.

Is it because I see this face every morning?

“Unnie’s appearance is more than just sharp, it’s even mysterious, so people seeing you for the first time can’t even speak to you.”

Well, I agree that I have a slightly cold impression, but is there really a need to be so scared?

“Furthermore, when men see someone who is prettier than a celebrity and has a good figure, they naturally start to wonder, ‘Can someone like me have a crush on that person?'”

“Aw~ Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?”

No matter how pretty I am, I’m not better than a celebrity.

There are so many beautiful people in the world.

“No, it’s true! I’ve met so many celebrities, and I haven’t seen anyone prettier than Unnie!”

Rona complimented my appearance as we walked down the street, but I completely ignored it and arrived at the student center restaurant.

The student center restaurant also had a franchise coffee shop and a bakery.

As expected of Korea’s top university.

“Is there anything you want to eat? One menu item per person is definitely free.”

“Really? The world has gotten much better.”

I don’t want to say this, but it’s really changed a lot from when I lived.

“Senior Rona~!”

Someone called Rona from a distance.

A short girl was running towards me.

“Unnie, weren’t you not supposed to have lectures today?”

She had short brown hair and seemed to be in her 150s in height, probably a junior in university.

“Oh, well, I’m just looking around the school with an acquaintance.”

“Acquaintance? Wow… she’s f*cking pretty…”

The junior student gasped in admiration when she saw me.

Is my face that amazing?

“Ah, I’m sorry! I was startled for a moment! What’s your name? I’m Park Inha.”

“I’m Lee Seonga.”

“She’s Haim’s older sister.”

“Haim Senior’s older sister?!”

Inha was surprised for a second time.

To think that such a beautiful person with a good figure was the older sister of Lee Haim, who works as an A-class Awakened One.

How can sisters be so perfect together?

“Anyway, why did you call me?”

“Ah! Well, a student council senior called you!”

“Again? Haaa… Unnie, I’m sorry. I think I need to go. Unnie, please stay by yourself for a little while. I’ll be right back.”

Rona apologized with her hands clasped together for something trivial.

“It’s okay. It’s work, so it can’t be helped.”

Rona left the student center restaurant with her junior.

I checked the fortunes of the people in the restaurant once again.

‘Haaa… it’s ruined.’

Even after checking again, it was a major misfortune.

The problem was that not only the people in the student center restaurant, but all students of S University were in a state of major misfortune.

‘What should I do about this?’

Should I tell Rona?

To be honest, it wasn’t my business.

Whether they died or not, I only needed to take care of my own people.

‘…Right, let’s not mind it.’

I headed straight home.

I didn’t see anything.

Ding!

An alarm sounded from my phone.

[Are you at our school right now? Wait for me, I’ll introduce you.]

“…….”

A sigh automatically came out as I read the text message.

‘Hmph, how did I end up in this situation?

If it’s like this, I have no choice but to work as an older brother…’

First, I need to figure out exactly why it’s a major misfortune.

I quickly poured water into a cup and looked inside.

‘Ah, I see it.’

The ripples spread in the water, showing the cause of the major misfortune.

Reflected in the water was a lizard monster digging in the ground.

This guy seems to be the cause of the major misfortune.

Soon after, information related to it, such as location, time, strength, and more, flooded my mind.

After finishing the information search, I quickly sent a text message to my younger sister.

[Where?]

Fortunately, the reply came quickly.

[On my way to school now.]

[Come quickly. It’s an emergency now.]

[What happened?]

[Your entire school is under a major misfortune right now. A monster is coming soon.]

[Huh? On what basis?]

[Can’t you trust my fortune?]

[Okay, going right now.]

Perhaps because of what happened to her, Haim immediately said okay, and I also sent a text message to Rona soon after.

[Rona, when are you coming?]

[Yes? I’m in a student council meeting right now, so it seems it will end late.]

[I’m sorry to say this, but it seems a monster will come to school soon. Please prepare beforehand.]

[Yes? What are you suddenly talking about?]

[I’m sorry, there’s no time. Please prepare beforehand.]

I put my smartphone in my pocket.

There was no time.

I quickly exited the student center restaurant, caught a falling cherry blossom petal, and opened my hand.

“…….”

I roughly knew.

I quickly found the broadcast room connected to the speakers and went there.

Bang!

When I opened the door, two middle-aged men were guarding the CCTV and broadcasting equipment.

Seeing me, they seemed flustered and looked at me with awkward expressions.

“Excuse me, what brings you here…?”

“I’m sorry.”

I placed my finger on their foreheads and injected them with knowledge of the other world for about 0.3 seconds.

This much would only make them faint.

I brought the microphone to my mouth and pressed the power button.

“Announcement.

A monster is scheduled to enter the university within 10 minutes.

All currently enrolled students and school personnel are advised to evacuate.”

“Repeat announcement.

A monster is scheduled to enter the university within 10 minutes.

All currently enrolled students and school personnel are advised to evacuate.”

***

Rona and Haim met by chance inside the university while searching for Seonga.

“Hey, did you hear the news from Older Brother?”

“That a monster is coming here soon?”

“Is it certain?”

“I don’t know either.”

I asked Guild Leader Unnie to check with the satellite, but she said there was nothing detected.”

Then where on earth is it appearing from?

At this point, she was almost looking forward to seeing where it would appear from.

“Ah, I’m really going crazy. Older Brother’s fortune has never been wrong.”

“Seeing that everyone is being evacuated, it seems quite dangerous…”

Waiting for a monster that could appear anytime, anywhere, was quite difficult.

“I’ll send a text.”

[Unnie, when and where will the monster appear? I’m also curious about its grade.]

The reply came within a minute.

[Grade 1, right below you guys now.]

Rumble!

“……!”

“……!”

The ground began to shake.

Feeling that something was wrong, Rona and Haim quickly left the spot.

Bang!

Less than 5 seconds after moving away, something huge popped out from the ground where they had been standing.

「Kuaaaaang!!!」

The identity of the monster that sprang out from the ground was a Grade 1 monster, the ‘Infinite Evolution Lizard’.
