Chapter 302
Chapter 302
One of the empty offices of
Chapter 302 Association.
[...Yooseong, you might want to go back to the academy right away, but I recommend checking out my gift first. It will be of great help in handling your work.]
Shin Yoo-seong recalled Kang Yoo-chan’s last advice and activated the memory crystal in his pocket.
‘...A gift for me?’
Although Master’s close friend, Kang Yoo-chan is an enigma, so Shin Yoo-seong seldom believed his words straight away.
Wii Ying- As soon
as the pocket recognized the contents of the crystal and emitted a beam in the form of a hologram, Shin Ha-yoon and Lee Hyuk were revealed.
– Ha Yoon-ah. where is the next place?
– well? After all, it’s hard to find because only the last parts remain, right?
As soon as he saw Shin Ha-yoon and Lee Hyuk in the hologram, Shin Yoo-seong swallowed dry spit at the information power of the Hunter Association.
‘The association already knew that Shin Ha-yoon was secretly obtaining the artifact.’
Then, did he reveal that all of Shin Ha-yoon’s preparations were related to Morgan, the witch of dreams, and even revealed his intention to awaken the power?
‘That’s probably not it.’
Shin Ha-yoon was not an idiot.
Collecting artifacts without official permission is an obvious offense, but that was not a fatal problem for Shin Ha-yoon, who wore the Shin-Oh family on his back. I just didn’t want to be noticed or entangled in doing things in secret.
‘If I was going to make up excuses, Shin Ha-yoon would have made up any number of excuses.’
Even the Hunter Association couldn’t figure out what Shin Ha-yoon was trying to do.
‘All the association knows is that Shin Ha-yoon is secretly planning something and that it has something to do with me.’
So Kang Yoo-chan added the following words.
[It will be of great help in handling your work.]
‘My job.’
That meant to Shin Yoo-seong to deal with Shin Ha-yoon. Why?
What kind of hint was there in the video that Kang Yoo-chan was able to relate to Shin Yoo-seong at once?
Ttogakttogak –
Shin Ha-yoon’s scattered footsteps.
This ice cave was the tomb of Bingryong Asicalsis, but since the dungeon raid was over, no traces could be found.
– I can’t find anywhere anymore. It’s a pity.
When Shin Ha-yoon ran his fingertips through the floor, regretting the traces of mana, Lee Hyuk could hardly understand.
– I can prepare an artifact that can be replaced if you want. The funds we have raised so far are sufficient.
Lee Hyuk spoke earnestly in a calm voice, but Shin Ha-yoon burst out laughing.
– A replacement? No... it can never be replaced. All we have is a fuel that can burn forever and an ember to ignite that fuel.
Shin Ha-yoon stopped talking for a moment and looked at the camera.
– The artifact that will contain that mighty power...
He said it while looking at it as if to listen.
– I only have dragon hearts.
This is a previously recorded video.
However, seeing Shin Ha-yoon declaring war on him, Yoo-seong Shin squeezed the memory crystal he was holding.
‘Shin Ha-yoon... is the artifact your sister is aiming for is a dragon heart?’
But the video didn’t end there.
– don’t worry. Because the last place I put off is really certain.
But Shin Ha-yoon just shook his head.
“No, it’s not important. The really important thing is that the other person rejected my favor first...”
Shin Ha-yoon put down the pen and raised the corner of her mouth as if it was hard to bear.
“Now is the time to pay the price.”

When Shin Yoo-seong returned to the academy after organizing his complicated thoughts, the lights were already turned off in the stale room.
‘...It’s time for everyone to go back to their lodgings.’
Today is a special day, so maybe someone took Velvet to the dorm.
However, Shin Yuseong’s prediction was wrong. As soon as I opened the door, what I saw was the peaceful appearance of Velvet and Adela lying on the bed and hugging each other.
‘You must have been sleeping in the infirmary.’
Shin Yoo-seong carefully approached Velvet and Adela, who were asleep, so as not to make even the sound of footsteps.
‘Velvet...’
Could it be because of the mighty power of velvet?
Is it because of an unusual birth?
Following the Hunter Association, now even Shin Ha-yoon was aiming for Velvet.
‘Velvet is too young to get caught up in something like this...’
This was an important time for Velvet to see and learn many things and build memories. And the same goes for Adela.
‘...Velvet’s existence is Adela’s new haven.’
Yooseong Shin remembered the hot tears that Adela, who was cold as ice, shed at Ruin Castle.
Just like Velvet needs time, so did Adela. Adela needed healing time to melt her frozen heart.
Therefore, what Adela needs even more is the existence of Velvet, who has become a new family.
‘Even if Shin Ha-yoon is aiming for Velvet. Nothing has changed. All I have to do is protect it.’
The moment Yooseong Shin calmed down and handed over Velvet’s disheveled hair. Adela slowly opened her closed eyes and stood up slowly.
“...you’re here.”
“sorry. late. Did Velvet wait for you?”
Adela said, rubbing her eyes as if she hadn’t woken up yet.
“Yes and... I’ve been waiting a long time too.”
After that, let Adela smile comfortably. Shin Yoo-seong was able to shake off his worries and laugh together.
“I should have come back soon after all.”
Adela’s smile was much better than Shin Yoo-seong’s time to worry for a long time to get rid of his thoughts. In a way, it was such a waste of time. After getting rid of all the distractions, Shin
Yoo
-seong took Adela’s hand and smiled brightly as usual.
“Let’s continue to protect Velvet. Always... together.”
Adela, who held her hand, nodded with a blank face, then suddenly hugged Shin Yoo-seong.
Fire!
Thanks to that, Shin Yoo-sung and Adela met eyes from a very close distance.
“Adela?”
When Shin Yuseong asked with a puzzled face.
Adela shook her head as if she didn’t know what she was doing.
“Why? I just... suddenly wanted to hold you.”
Of course, even in the sudden situation, Shin Yoo-seong just smiled at the feeling of being rather stable.
“huh. I think I know how you feel.”
