Chapter 30
* * *
The journey to the BattleNet Academy wasn’t smooth from the entrance.
“…What brings you here?”
The security guard blocked their car on the main gate and looked at them with suspicious eyes.
“Um, I’m a student here.”
“Ah, you’re Yoon Seah. This car isn’t registered in the database. Would you like to register it?”
“Yes.”
“Understood. You may proceed.”
When Yoon Seah showed her student ID, the security guard registered the car’s number and allowed them to enter, but…
“Huh! What is a crappy car like that doing in the academy?”
“It’s Yoon Seah. She’s the one who messed up big time. But who’s next to her?”
“That’s her uncle. The guy who broke the dual sword statue.”
“Ah~!”
Behind the open car window, the guards whispered to each other.
“Uncle, you can go this way.”
Although these words must have reached Yoon Seah’s ears, she pretended not to hear.
With a playful smile, she guided Seong Jihan to the underground parking lot of the academy.
The underground parking lot was as spacious as Sword Palace’s.
The spaces were wide enough for one car each, and some of the parked cars were high-end imported models.
Although people often said that there were more foreign cars than domestic ones in Gangnam, there weren’t any domestic cars around.
‘It’s all foreign cars.’
With the absence of domestic cars, the car moving around the parking lot stood out even more.
“There… let’s park next to the elevator.”
“On spot 17?”
“Yeah, I usually park there.”
Skrrt-
After parking the car, Seong Jihan asked in a nonchalant tone, “When does your class end?”
“Um… around 3 PM. Will you pick me up?”
“That should be fine. I’ll play a round of BattleNet here.”
“Come on, Just go home. It’s uncomfortable and what about lunch?”
After playing a game on BattleNet and pondering about the three dantians, time would quickly pass.
Seong Jihan waved his hand dismissively towards Yoon Seah, who was looking at him worriedly.
“Don’t worry about me.”
“But still…”
If Seong Jihan didn’t wait here, considering Yoon Seah’s personality, she would probably take the bus back.
In that case, the meaning of driving her here this morning would be lost.
“Call me when your class is over.”
“Ugh, seriously…”
Since it seemed impossible to persuade him, Yoon Seah got out of the car with an excited expression.
As Seahwas about to pass through the automatic door to take the elevator…
Screech-
A high-end sedan stopped in the parking spot next to Seong Jihan’s car, and a middle-aged man with a burly build emerged.
“Hey! How dare you park such a crappy car here!”
Yelling abruptly, the man’s appearance was too flashy to be called a driver.
“Do you know where this is? Move your damn car this instant!”
Was he the trouble Yoon Seah mentioned?
‘I expected some mocking, but I didn’t expect someone to actively pick a fight.’
Seong Jihan didn’t feel the need to retort to that comment.
Instead, he covered the middle-aged man’s mouth with his index finger.
“Come out quickly. Who the hell is in this car… mmpf-!?”
Instantly, the driver’s mouth stiffened because of Seong Jihan’s force.
Although BattleNet’s abilities were somewhat weakened in the real world, the power of his force was enough to shut a person’s mouth.
“Mmpf, mmph…”
The middle-aged man strained to open his mouth, but his jaw seemed to be glued shut, making it impossible to open.
It wasn’t just his mouth that didn’t move.
‘My-my body won’t move!’
As if trapped in concrete, he couldn’t move from his upright posture.
Meanwhile, Seong Jihan calmly waved his hand to Yoon Seah.
“Go, Seah.”
“Uncle… Don’t wait here. Go home. Now that I think about it, the student council work must have piled up. I don’t know when it’ll end. And on top of that, you’re causing such a scene…”
Yoon Seah looked at the middle-aged man briefly, and though she said so…
“Don’t worry, This is nothing. I’ll handle it, so contact me when it’s over.”
“Ugh…”
Seong Jihan seemed completely uninterested in leaving.
As Yoon Seah sighed and looked at him, at that moment…
Clank-
The back door of the sedan opened, and someone got out.
“What’s going on?”
A female student appeared, her arms crossed.
Although she had a tall and slender figure and a cold demeanor, she quickly approached with a smile when she saw Yoon Seah.
“Oh my. Seah! Are you finally going to come to school from now on?”
“Yeah. It’s been a while, Heesu.”
Yoon Seah waved at her with a smile.
Kim Heesu.
She’d become friends with Kim Heesu shortly after she entered the academy.
