“This isn’t even inside the gate, what if you take out that hot fire! Don’t do it!”
“Well, at least a hotel will be burned.”
In the midst of arguing with Cheon Sa-yeon, a large table flew over this time.
Crack!
“Huhung.”
Hong Si-ah broke the table in half and stood up. When she took something out, she held a bright red snakeskin whip in her hand.
“Daegu guys keep throwing things at us, and if we ignore this again, we won’t alive.”
“Master, come on and win!”
Kim Na-yul clenched her fists and cheered for Hong Si-ah. Crack! The floor where Hong Si-ah’s whip passed through froze and cracked deeply. A chill leaked out of the cracks.
“Master Lee Joo-ha, what are you doing? Hurry up, take out your weapon!”
“Uh, me?”
“Yeah. Follow me quickly. Master must set an example!”
Hong Si-ah forced Lee Joo-ha, who was sitting quietly, to drag her away. Lee Joo-ha, who got up suddenly, said hesitatingly.
“Wa, wait. I’m like this…”
Kwagwang!
“Gasp.”
At the same time, Cheon Sa-yeon grabbed my waist from behind and pulled me, our table split in half with a loud noise. A man with a huge sword exclaimed triumphantly.
“Haha, bring it on! You unlucky Seoulites!” (Seoul Elites probably?)
It seemed that that person was the main culprit for throwing chairs and tables from earlier. As I looked at him in shock, I heard a gloomy voice next to me.
“That punk…”
Lee Joo-ha, who spit out abusive language with a cold face, pulled out two guns that were hidden in a suit jacket.
Lee Joo-ha’s ability was debuff infinite bullets. Lee Joo-ha, holding guns that were specially made for her own ability, ran towards the man and opened fire with her guns.
Taang! Tang!
Even though she was wearing formal pants, it was surprising that she could run around like that in heels that looked 10 centimetres tall.
“Everyone, stop fighting. We have called security personnel. Right now… Haa, there’s no way you hear it.”
Choi Mi-jin, who was reciting the warning with her cold eyes, sighed and threw her microphone away. It was really such a mess. Now that there were a lot of crazy people, I understand Cheon Sa-yeon’s words to stick around.
“Hmm.”
With the sword that Cheon Sa-yeon drew, he cut down various things that were flying. Participants from other regions continued to send provocative acts towards us as if they were not satisfied with Hong Si-ah and Lee Joo-ha.
“Requiem Master, did you hide because you were afraid?”
“Roheon Deputy Master! Let’s compete fairly!”
They were all men with huge weapons. Cheon Sa-yeon pretended to not listen to their challenge, and Ha Tae-heon only drank champagne without replying. It was a complete disregard.
“Really, why are you doing that?”
Kim Na-yul said, looking pitifully at the people who were arguing with Ha Tae-heon. Even so, I wanted to applaud her because she took advantage of the chaotic situation to sneakily approach Ha Tae-heon.
“In this situation, will it be cleared up when the security personnel arrive?”
“To some extent, however. Gate issues are important, and we can’t fight all day.”
In short, it meant ending up with an excuse for security personnel. These people are really here to fight and have fun.
“…do you have meetings like this often?”
“About two or three times a year. It’s been a while for people this much to gather.”
Finally, a huge statue built in the centre was cut in two by someone’s ability. Rumbling, the sound of the statue collapsing shook the floor.
Now, the inside of the party hall was crumbling and collapsed everywhere except around our table.
As I looked around, I met Ha Tae-heon’s eyes. Ha Tae-heon was staring at me without pretending to listen to Kim Na-yul, who was chattering next to him. It was like his eyes were looking at a bad student with bad behaviour. Why are you doing that?
“…ah.”
I was awkward that I only rolled my eyes for no reason, but then I noticed Cheon Sa-yeon’s arm wrapped around my waist. It was the waist that had been caught earlier to dodge the attack. Is it because of this?
“How long are you going to hold on to? Let go now.”
“Aha. I forgot.”
Cheon Sa-yeon answered skillfully but did not let go of my waist. This punk.
“Let it go.”
Then his arm released me. I tapped the slightly crumpled jacket and gave Ha Tae-heon an explanation-filled look. I’m not a person who’s close to Cheon Sa-yeon. You see? Don’t misunderstand.
Ha Tae-heon stopped staring and looked away to see if my heart worked. Thank God.
“Deputy Master!”
Hong Si-ah, who was running around with a whip among the attendees, called out to Kim Na-yul.
“Yes?”
“Please give me the item I entrusted to you earlier!”
Kim Na-yul took out the necklace that was hidden behind her shirt. Leopard-skin gloves protrude from a baroque necklace with an amber gem in the centre.
“I’ll be back after handing this over.”
Kim Na-yul, holding the leather gloves with both hands, walked and ran into the battlefield. I wondered if she could go to Hong Si-ah in that mess, but seeing her dodging the flying attack seemed to be a useless worry.
As expected, S-rank is S-rank. While watching Kim Na-yul, who lightly evaded the attacks of those who rushed, with a curious mind, I saw a man I had once seen among the tangled crowd.
‘Who was that?’
The man, who was half-hiding his body at the entrance to the terrace and watching the party hall, looked bad from a distance. Where did I see him? After thinking for a while, I realized later.
“Master Kang Seung-geon?”
“Um?”
I was wondering who he was. Did you still attend the party because you are a master? But why didn’t you come to the table and was just hiding there?
As I tilted my head at the incomprehensible behaviour, Kang Seung-geon pulled something out of his arms with a pale face.
“What’s wrong?”
“Over there, Master Kang Seung-geon…”
While I turned my gaze to Cheon Sa-yeon for a moment, Kang Seung-geon disappeared in an instant.
“…I can’t see him.”
Cheon Sa-yeon, who had lost his smile, looked at the place where Kang Seung-geon had just been, with a sharp gaze.
“Obviously I saw…”
Kugugugung!
That was then. Before the answer was even finished, the surroundings began to shake violently with a roar. I barely managed to balance my body and looked around.
“What is it?”
“Someone has this kind of ability…!”
“Get away from me!”
The chandelier, which was hanging from the ceiling, fell and a sharp rupture sound echoed in my ears. The floor shook as if a strong earthquake had occurred, and a strange sensation soared.
“Ugh…”
“Han Yi-gyeol?”
Feeling upset, I covered my mouth and vomited in vain, Cheon Sa-yeon grabbed my shoulder and checked my condition. A mere shaking wouldn’t have made me feel this nauseous.
In the midst of this, the earthquake was getting worse and worse, and now the walls of the hotel were clasped unsteadily as if the hotel itself was about to collapse.
“Damn it. Who is this? A bastard with an item!”
“First, stop the building from collapsing!”
“Wait, the floor…!”
A strange light flickered through the cracks in the floor, which were tossed out by the participants. Like the Milky Way, black and dark blue were mixed randomly. It was like a gate with an open mouth.
“Maybe this.”
Kugugung! The floor quickly collapsed, and the light gradually increased. The participants, who could not step on the floor, fell into the light, grabbing their weapons.
“Now this, maybe the gate…”
“Han Yi-gyeol, use your ability first.”
Huung, as soon as I quickly rose at Cheon Sa-yeon’s words, the floor collapsed. After that, a shimmering dark blue light appeared to be large.
‘Crazy…!’
An unknown force pulled the body that was about to rise. Going to fall. When I thought it was dangerous, I hurriedly reached out to Ha Tae-heon.
“Ha Tae-heon-ssi!”
Ha Tae-heon’s black eyes, whose hair was slightly disturbed by the wind, turned towards me. At the same time, I grabbed his hand, my body was drawn into the light and my vision was eaten by darkness.
* * *
“…Yi-gyeol. Han Yi-gyeol.”
“Uh…”
I felt a hand tapping the cheek. Through the hazy consciousness, I remembered what had happened at the party.
“…what the.”
“You woke up.”
When I opened my eyes, I saw Cheon Sa-yeon with slightly dishevelled hair. I quickly rose my upper body.
“Here…”
“It seems we have entered the gate.”
Inside the gate?
“Is that possible?”
“If it is done by a high-ranking spatial ability, it is possible.”
“Then… everyone at the party came through this gate.”
“That’s right.”
I looked around. Dense trees covering the soil floor and sky, faint chirping of insects and birds. Is it in the middle of the forest? Just in case, I asked Cheon Sa-yeon.
“What about Ha Tae-heon?”
“He’s going to take a look around.”
“Are there any others?”
“Not around here.”
Are you saying that only the three of us fell here?
‘Wait. Three of us?’
Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon. And then me? Goosebumps, I was horrified.
I opened my mouth, just in case.
“…when I passed out, the two of you didn’t fight or something like that, right?”
Perhaps it wasn’t a very interesting question, Cheon Sa-yeon smiled grinningly.
“If I had known you had such expectations, I would have woken you up after a fight.”
“No… I was just asking.”
I’m glad they didn’t fight. I got up and brushed off the dirt on my pants, but Ha Tae-heon, who had gone out to reconnaissance, came back.
“You woke up.”
“Yes. Ha Tae-heon-ssi, are you hurt?”
He silently nodded at my question.
Ha Tae-heon seemed frustrated, so he took off his tie and unbuttoned a couple of shirt buttons. Cheon Sa-yeon, who was standing with his arms crossed looking at me and Ha Tae-heon, intervened with a smiley voice.
“You didn’t even ask me if I was hurt.”
“You look fine just by looking at you.”
“I doubted that we had a fight, let alone worried. The treatment is so different.”
“…all right, I got it.”
I couldn’t really say anything. Cheon Sa-yeon was going to die of fun at my reaction that I was annoyed.
Ha Tae-heon, who was looking at me and Cheon Sa-yeon pitifully, opened his mouth.
“Let’s move. We’ll have to check the status of the attendees somewhere in the gate.”
“Um, but…”
I said, touching the nape of my neck.
“I have no idea where to go.”
There were only trees and bushes all around. It was not easy to move in haste as we did not know what kind of gate it was or where the road was.
“There’s nothing we can do.”
Cheon Sa-yeon smiled brightly at me, pointing upwards.
“Han Yi-gyeol.”
“Yes?”
“Go up and check it out.”
“……”
I was speechless for a moment at that natural attitude. It’s not like telling the dog to ‘Ask me!’. (무슨 키우는 개한테 ‘물어 와!’시키는 것도 아니고, not sure…)
“Aren’t you being too proud of yourself?”
“Isn’t there a better way than that?”
…that’s true. Inside, I cursed the unlucky Cheon Sa-yeon and raised my ability. Huung, the wind wrapped around and the branches swayed. (Again, not sure)
“I’ll be back after watching.”
Pasasak, through the lush leaves, I floated upward. A wide forest spread beneath my feet, and I saw something at the end.
“……?”
I squinted my eyes at the unfamiliar building. What is that?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
“This isn’t even inside the gate, what if you take out that hot fire! Don’t do it!”
“Well, at least a hotel will be burned.”
In the midst of arguing with Cheon Sa-yeon, a large table flew over this time.

“Huhung.”
Hong Si-ah broke the table in half and stood up. When she took something out, she held a bright red snakeskin whip in her hand.

Just in case, I asked Cheon Sa-yeon.What about Ha Tae-heon?He's going to take a look around.Are there any others?Not around here.Are you saying that only the three of us fell here?Wait. Three of us?'Cheon Sa-yeon and Ha Tae-heon. And then me? Goosebumps, I was horrified.I opened my mouth, just in case.when I passed out, the two of you didn't fight or something like that, right?Perhaps it wasn't a very interesting question, Cheon Sa-yeon smiled grinningly.If I had known you had such expectations, I would have woken you up after a fight.No I was just asking.I'm glad they didn't fight. I got up and brushed off the dirt on my pants, but Ha Tae-heon, who had gone out to reconnaissance, came back.You woke up.Yes. Ha Tae-heon-ssi, are you hurt?He silently nodded at my question.Ha Tae-heon seemed frustrated, so he took off his tie and unbuttoned a couple of shirt buttons. Cheon Sa-yeon, who was standing with his arms crossed looking at me and Ha Tae-heon, intervened with a smiley voice.You didn't even ask me if I was hurt.You look fine just by looking at you.I doubted that we had a fight, let alone worried. The treatment is so different.all right, I got it.I couldn't really say anything. Cheon Sa-yeon was going to die of fun at my reaction that I was annoyed.Ha Tae-heon, who was looking at me and Cheon Sa-yeon pitifully, opened his mouth.Let's move. We'll have to check the status of the attendees somewhere in the gate.Um, butI said, touching the nape of my neck.I have no idea where to go.There were only trees and bushes all around. It was not easy to move in haste as we did not know what kind of gate it was or where the road was.There's nothing we can do.Cheon Sa-yeon smiled brightly at me, pointing upwards.Han Yi-gyeol.Yes?Go up and check it out.I was speechless for a moment at that natural attitude. It's not like telling the dog to Ask me!'. !' , not sureAren't you being too proud of yourself?Isn't there a better way than that?that's true. Inside, I cursed the unlucky Cheon Sa-yeon and raised my ability.Huung, the wind wrapped around and the branches swayed. Again, not sureI'll be back after watching.Pasasak, through the lush leaves, I floated upward. A wide forest spread beneath my feet, and I saw something at the end.?I squinted my eyes at the unfamiliar building. What is that?
