Chapter 93: There Is No Teacher For Fate (4)

* * *The Invisibility Cloak wasn’t just some piece of fabric enchanted with an invisibility spell.It was a top-tier magic item that, when worn, concealed not only the wearer’s body but also their scent, presence, and even their mana.And Moryne had generously lent that item to Yeomyeong.No strings attached, just a simple request to return it ‘together’ with her daughter.It was an awkward demand for Yeomyeong to fulfill, but he didn’t have the luxury of negotiating with Moryne.- I will definitely return it.With that brief assurance, Yeomyeong accepted the cloak and immediately headed for the girls’ dormitory.Avoiding the main path, he ran through the bushes, in case someone recognized his face.It took him almost no time to reach the girls’ dormitory, not at the main entrance but before the backyard wall.Without any hesitation, he channeled his strength into his legs, took a deep breath and easily vaulted over the wall.Thud.With a landing so silent that even the wind couldn’t detect it, Yeomyeong set foot in the backyard of the dormitory.Thanks to the cover of night, he remained hidden.He quickly scanned his surroundings just in case, before taking out the Invisibility Cloak and took another deep breath.Speak of the devil…It had only been half a day since Seti had clearly warned him to never come to the girls’ dormitory, and here he was, about to break in.That was as far as his thoughts went. Yeomyeong immediately put on the Invisibility Cloak.Contrary to his expectations, his vision wasn’t overly obstructed. It felt like he was looking through a semi-transparent veil.The cloak clung tightly to his body with the help of mana, so he didn’t have to worry about it slipping off.After all, hadn’t the Saintess ridden a motorcycle while wearing the cloak?Getting used to the Invisibility Cloak quickly, Yeomyeong climbed into the dormitory through an open window.The interior of the first-year girls’ dormitory wasn’t that different from the boys’ dormitory.A spacious lobby on the first floor, a central staircase, the positioning of the lights and hallways, even the lingering scent was similar—A sweet and greasy smell, like snacks.It was nothing like the elegant and strict girls’ dormitory he had seen in the youth dramas, but Yeomyeong wasn’t disappointed.To be precise, he didn’t have time to be disappointed.As he climbed the stairs while avoiding the female students passing through the first-floor lobby, he suddenly realized something he hadn’t considered in his haste to get here....Where is Seti’s room?He reflexively attempted to spread his mana to locate Seti, but quickly restrained himself.No matter how great the Invisibility Cloak was, it wouldn’t be able to hide the mana he emitted directly.Faced with this unexpected problem, Yeomyeong furrowed his brow. What should he do? Wait in the lobby? Or…His deliberation was brief, but his sigh was long.He decided to walk deeper into the dormitory with no particular plan in mind.He figured that if he wandered around for long enough, he might stumble upon a hint or clue.And just as he thought, as soon as he climbed the central staircase, he found a clue that would lead him to Seti’s room.A blonde girl sitting in a chair in the hallway, reading a book titled ‘What Is To Be Done?’¹Miridith, the elven princess who was attending the academy while hiding her identity… and Seti’s roommate.Yeomyeong approached her discreetly.Then he tapped the chair she was sitting on.Knock, knock.As Miridith lifted her head a bit, Yeomyeong called her name in a voice soft enough to not startle her.“Soe Miri.”“Uh… Is that voice… Yeomyeong?”Soe Miri reached out in the direction of the voice.Grabbing Yeomyeong’s solid arm under the Invisibility Cloak, Soe Miri murmured in surprise.“…You also know how to use invisibility magic?”“This isn’t magic, it’s a magic item… anyway, that’s not important right now. Can you do me a quick favor?”A favor? Only then did she check her surroundings to see if anyone else was around before answering Yeomyeong in a quiet voice.“…What sort of favor?”“Can you… take me to your dorm room?”As soon as Yeomyeong made his request, Soe Miri jerked her head back.Not sure what misunderstanding she had, her face turned reddish.“W-What are you saying?! D-Did you perhaps come to the girls’ dormitory for… !”Just when it seemed like her misunderstanding would get worse, Yeomyeong grabbed her shoulder and cut her off.“I came to see Seti.”“…What?”“I mean, the reason I’m in this dormitory is to meet your roommate, Hong Seti.”“…”“There’s some urgent information I need to convey to her. So… could you guide me to her room? Please.”Realizing her misunderstanding, Soe Miri finally shut her mouth.“Ahem… Y-You should have just said that from the start!”After a brief silence, she cleared her throat and stood up.“…Please follow me.”She quickly turned around and began walking.Her face had gotten even redder than before as she led the way to the room.

* * *Whenever Seti felt distressed, she would often practice martial arts to distract herself. Swinging the heavy War Hammer and sweating out her frustrations always helped clear the emotions weighing on her heart.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Unfortunately for her, there were no unoccupied spots in the training room today.Without a place to clear her mind, Seti decided to use a different method to calm herself.She first decided to give meditation a try.Sitting quietly on her bed with her eyes shut tight and breathing deeply, but… it had no effect.The more she tried to clear her thoughts while meditating, the more the appearance of the Saintess she had seen earlier came to mind.- No, it’s not that, um… it’s… I-I… towards Yeomyeong…Her trembling voice, long streaks of tears, flushed cheeks, and the overwhelming emotion flowing over all of it.- I-It seems like I think of him… in a special way.It seemed that the Saintess herself was still unsure about the emotions she was experiencing.After all, the Saintess had spent most of her life confined in a sterile temple. It was only natural that she would have some difficulty understanding her own emotions.If only she had read a romance novel, she might have realized what she was experiencing……tsk.Realizing where her thoughts were about to lead her, Seti stopped meditating.She was already aware that Yeomyeong and the Saintess had grown close during their time in Manchuria.Given that these two, a handsome young man and a beautiful woman of similar age, had endured all those hardships together, it was no surprise that something like this would happen…Yet, knowing something and accepting it were completely different matters.Seti, you fool. Get a grip. Are you going to keep behaving like this?In any case, Seti kept trying different methods like reading and stretching to calm herself.She was doing her best to calm herself, but, like meditation, none of it helped.She was unable to retain anything from the book, and stretching only increased her frustration.It wasn’t until the sky outside grew dark that she realized she had wasted an entire day.Ha! Seriously.Letting out a sigh of resignation, Seti suddenly remembered the promise she had made to Yeomyeong.Introducing her sisters and lifting the ban on everyone.…I must have lost my mind.How could she have forgotten such an important appointment? So what about the Saintess?She fumbled while trying to take her phone out of her pocket.Who should I contact first? Siri? Yeomyeong?Unfortunately, her dilemma was meaningless.Her phone was in a terrible state.The screen was completely smashed, probably due to the recoil when Yeomyeong blocked her Flying Kick technique earlier.Sigh. Nothing seems to be going my way today.With a sigh, Seti got up from her seat.At this point, she was thinking about borrowing a phone from one of her sisters to call Yeomyeong.And just as she was about to open the door with that thought in mind…Creak.The door opened, and a blonde girl entered the room.Seti’s roommate, Soe Miri, stepped inside the room. Rejoicing internally, Seti immediately spoke up.“Hey, Soe Miri, may I borrow your phone?”Soe Miri, who had been waiting with the door ajar, replied awkwardly.“Ah… I’m sorry, I don’t use a phone.”Although it might have seemed unusual for a modern person to not use one, it wasn’t surprising in the case of Soe Miri, who was always a bit odd.Seti told her that it was no problem and decided to go find her sisters as originally planned.As she tried to leave through the door, something invisible blocked her way.…?Seti frowned and took a step back.While Soe Miri had a strange expression as she looked at her, Seti began gathering her mana to restrain the opponent.She intended to throw the person out of the room, like she did earlier, but the sensation she felt was unfamiliar.Instead of the soft, smooth skin of the Saintess, she felt something solid.“Could it be…?”Seti let go of her grip and slowly removed the Invisibility Cloak.The moment she saw the golden eyes looking at her, she shut her eyes tightly and smacked her palm against her forehead.“Where the hell did you get this cloak from… No, wait. Didn’t I clearly warn you earlier? If you get caught here, it won’t end with just an expulsion!“…Something urgent came up.”How urgent could it be?! What if he gets expelled? Then our plan will…Seti stifled the words rising up her throat.Because the Yeomyeong she knew would never do something like this for trivial reasons.“…What’s the matter?”“Korea.”A single word.However, that one word carried a weight that even a thousand explanations would be unable to convey.“What…? When?”“It could be tomorrow or today. I don’t know the exact time.”“Then….”“The ban must be lifted. Today, immediately”Ah, Seti was sure that she now had a similar expression to the one the Saintess made earlier.However, unlike the Saintess, she was aware of how embarrassing that expression was, so she lowered her head and replied.“…Thank you.”“You can thank me later. We need to find your sisters first.”“…Okay.”Everyone in the room began to move as soon as their conversation came to an end.Yeomyeong put the cloak back on, Seti grabbed a small War Hammer, and they opened the door.And…“Let’s go!”Soe Miri followed them with a large wand embedded with a green gemstone.“Uh… Miri?”“Yes?”“Why are you…?”Seeing Seti’s bewildered expression, Soe Miri tilted her head.“Isn’t Dung Beetle-ssi going to fight the South Korean government? It’s a given that I should help as well.”Did she overhear their conversation? But they spoke so softly. Was she an elf or something… No, more importantly…“…Yeomyeong, care to give me an explanation?”
