Episode 64
“Now that Ju Ha-ryeong is here, let’s determine Positions first.”
Because of the heavy atmosphere that had settled, I’d only exchanged brief nods with Im Ji-an and another member, and now I found myself staring intently at Baek Seon-u as he looked down at me with a rigid expression.
‘This guy is still like this.’
Whatever was displeasing him now, he wore his bad mood openly—scarcely speaking to me, nor would he respond even when others initiated conversation, and he didn’t even offer his public smile to anyone else.
Even though rumors had spread like that, he was never the type to let such things bother him in the first place.
‘Well, I suppose it was easier on me mentally without all the chatter…….’
But when I recalled the strange emptiness that had crept over me regardless, a tangled feeling rose up. At this point, wasn’t Baek Seon-u himself simply a difficult problem?
“Ha-ryeong, are you listening?”
In that moment, Baek Seon-u’s measured voice cut through my thoughts.
“Oh, sorry.”
I lifted my gaze from the floor and swept my eyes across the three people before me once more.
Except for Im Ji-an, whose brow was furrowed, everyone wore an indifferent expression. It was the moment I realized that even Baek Seon-u could give off something similar to Seo Do-hyeok’s atmosphere.
“Here’s the order: position two is Im Ji-an, position three is Ju Ha-ryeong, position four is Seo Do-hyeok.”
“Why?”
My question tumbled out naturally, and Baek Seon-u’s gaze, which had been turning elsewhere, snapped back to me.
He still emanated a chilly air as he tilted his head slightly to the side. I held his gaze steadily and continued.
“I’m not objecting, but I don’t understand why the Healer takes up the rear. I’ll take position four.”
“That won’t work. It’s too dangerous.”
“It could be the opposite.”
Our locked gazes hung suspended in the space between us, neither of us seeming ready to look away first.
So somehow we’d ended up in a standoff. But thinking of what lay ahead, I had no choice but to be firm.
‘He’ll definitely say something about the Formation.’
And he’ll single me out for it.
I used to think it went well that way, but now with all the rumors floating around, I had no desire to receive attention from the instructor in the guise of feedback.
“I don’t want to get chewed out by the instructor like last time.”
Once I drove that wedge home as an excuse, Baek Seon-u’s lips pressed shut.
A brief silence fell between the four of us, and before long, the instructor’s signal to assemble came through.
Only then did Baek Seon-u exhale sharply and speak quietly.
“Do as you see fit.”
Then I naturally followed with my eyes as he brushed past my side.
‘Why is he like that, really.’
It wasn’t as though I’d said anything wrong.
I’d only asked for the standard Formation arrangement.
“Come on, Ha-ryeong. You know he just works it out on his own like that anyway.”
As I stood there feeling irritation creep upward, Im Ji-an gently grabbed my arm and pulled me forward.
Then, as I noticed Seo Do-hyeok already ahead of us, an inexplicable unease welled up inside.
‘If they end up fighting over nothing again……’
This time, I resolved I’d have to step in and shut it down, even if it meant throwing a punch myself. Of course, that would include me as one of the parties involved.
All the teams gathered before the platform, listened to instructions and precautions, and equipped themselves with the issued devices on their ears and wrists.
One resembled a Smartwatch and the other was a transparent cord—an In-ear communication device.
“Oh, these are still the same, aren’t they? Baek Seon-u, what do you think?”
As I was fidgeting with the thing on my wrist, Im Ji-an’s bright voice came from right beside me.
When I glanced over, I saw her tapping Baek Seon-u’s arm with her elbow, trying to coax a response from him.
I was grateful that at least one teammate had such a cheerful and lighthearted disposition. Without her, our team would have looked positively gloomy under dark clouds.
I shook my head slightly from side to side and turned my attention back to my wrist. Then I pointlessly removed and reinserted the In-ear, suppressing my growing tension. We hadn’t even started yet, and the path ahead already felt long and daunting.
How much time had passed like that?
“Class B, Team F. We’re entering.”
At the sound of the instructor’s voice filling the space, my shoulders flinched.
……Why did it have to be Team F, of all sequences?
* * *
Screech—Bang!
The heavy iron door behind us closed with a loud crash, exactly like before.
But it seemed they’d overhauled not just the curriculum but other aspects as well, because the vast landscape now spread before my eyes looked far more impressive than it had been.
I glanced down at my feet for a moment.
With each step, a sharp, crunching sound echoed clearly. It was almost like treading on thin glass shards.
“Wow……, doesn’t this place seem even better than before?”
At that moment, I heard Im Ji-an’s bright voice speaking ahead, apparently directed at Baek Seon-u.
It seemed I wasn’t the only one making such observations.
[ The Guardian of Tae-won opens her eyes wide in wonder, remarking that it’s like seeing a magnificent ruin from ancient myth. ]
[ The Arbiter of Truth remarks that the more curious one’s inner nature, the more ornate one’s outer appearance, and casually crosses her legs as she observes the Contractor’s surroundings. ]
The theme selected randomly before entry was also more abstract than anything encountered so far.
「Tomb of the Hundred Hidden」
Now I finally understood why it was named that way.
Save for a cloudless blue sky overhead, the space on all sides was white enough to strain the eyes—nothing but white as far as I could see.
And scattered throughout were massive bones that appeared to belong to monsters, jutting from the ground. Yet beyond these bones and the white mounds that rose in gentle domes, there was nothing else in sight, which made me feel an inexplicable sense of unease.
‘Even the smell is remarkable.’
When the wind carrying a thick, salty tang blew past, a deep, resonant sound—Whoooom—emanated from somewhere and spread through the silence.
‘……Wait, hold on.’
Something didn’t add up. If this was supposed to be a tomb, why did it smell like this?
‘The air is a bit damp, though.’
Still, looking at the way things jutted up here and there like tombs, it didn’t quite look like a beach with white sand stretching on like this.
I stopped in my tracks and bent down to touch the ground with my hand.
‘Yeah, it’s definitely not just sand.’
It looked like fine sand to the eye, but the sound and texture were rough. Straightening up, I unconsciously brought a handful of white crystals clinging to my hand to the tip of my tongue.
“Ugh—.”
An intensely salty taste flooded my mouth, enough to make me frown involuntarily.
I’d suspected as much, but it was indeed salt.
“Ju Ha-ryeong.”
At the call that came in that moment, I quickly shifted my gaze from my feet toward them. There, turned around and looking back at me, were Seo Do-hyeok and Im Ji-an. And Baek Seon-u as well, all coming into view in turn.
“What are you doing—.”
—Get your head in the game. Let’s move.
Baek Seon-u cut off Seo Do-hyeok’s words without hesitation and turned his back to me, but in that moment I caught it.
His fist was covering his mouth.
‘Is he laughing?’
It was definitely a smirk, so I shot a displeased glance at the back of his brown head in an instant.
In the meantime, Im Ji-an suddenly gave me a thumbs-up out of nowhere, while Seo Do-hyeok simply turned back around without expression.
‘……I think I know why they’re doing this.’
Well, if a person is curious, they might taste things. That’s just how it is.
I brushed off my hand and fell back into step behind Seo Do-hyeok as though nothing had happened.
[ The Guardian of Tae-won remarks that he didn’t know the Contractor possessed such innocent charm, tilts his head, and gives a small shrug. ]
[ The Arbiter of Truth clears her throat, then speaks proudly, saying that this pure side is also part of what makes the Contractor charming. ]
They’re not all conspiring to observe my behavior, are they……?
Normally, Baek Seon-u would have noticed first and immediately relayed what was happening, but…… that unsettling feeling settled in at that very moment.
—Seo Do-hyeok, Shield.
At Baek Seon-u’s firm command from the front, just as in training, Seo Do-hyeok created a thin Protective Barrier without complaint that wrapped around our group.
‘What is he trying to do?’
As the scene unfolded before me alongside my question, I let out an inward exclamation of admiration.
