◈ Episode 138. I’ll solve it (1)
Valhalla Academy’s winter vacation has passed.
For some, leisurely.
For some people, winter vacation passed by quickly.
Among them, everyone who trained with him, including Kim Joo-hyuk, felt that the winter break passed very quickly.
Unlike most students who spent their winter vacation leisurely, those who trained with Kim Joo-hyuk continued to train without a day off throughout the winter vacation.
Thanks to this, Yan Lang and Choi A-Lin’s achievements were much higher than before the winter break.
As the winter break has already passed, Choi A-rin and Yan Lang have not yet reached the goal that Kim Joo-hyuk showed, but they have become so helpless that it is ridiculous to call them ‘students’ anymore.
The same goes for THE ONE, Logan, who received lessons from Kim Joo-hyuk.
He seemed lost while taking lessons from Kim Joo-hyuk throughout the winter vacation, but he started to improve rapidly after receiving a hint right before the vacation ended.
In addition, Oh Se-hyuk, who taught Yanrang whenever he had free time, and Yoo So-yeon, who was taught by Choi A-rin at some point when winter vacation began, also achieved growth in their own way.
In short, the people in Kim Joo-hyuk’s training room clearly all grew through training throughout the winter vacation, and although the growth amount was different, they all became stronger than before.
And just like that, they became stronger than before the winter break.
““… … .””
Currently, I was watching Kim Joo-hyuk’s training in real time.
Of course, that doesn’t mean Kim Joo-hyuk is doing any special training.
All he was doing now was just going into the virtual room and running as hard as before.
That was something Kim Joo-hyuk basically did every day.
In short, those who trained in the same space as Kim Joo-hyuk saw him dozens of times a day, so it was not a particularly surprising thing.
Nevertheless, the reason they were looking at Kim Joo-hyuk was because of the black pockets he was wearing on his hands and feet.
The black bag he brought with him, saying it was a ‘tool’ that would help him train today.
With it on, Kim Joo-hyuk was running hard.
So why are they just blankly watching Kim Joo-hyuk running around with his black bag on?
The reason was that everyone here knew the ‘weight’ of the black bag that Kim Joo-hyuk was wearing.
“… … “Is this true?”
Oh Se-hyuk, who was staring blankly at that scene, muttered that and bent down to pick up one of the black pockets that Kim Joo-hyuk had brought.
however.
“eww… … !”
Oh Se-hyuk could not lift the black bag easily.
Ugh-!
In the end, Oh Se-hyuk was able to lift the black bag only after using his magic power.
“crazy… … .”
Even Oh Se-hyuk, who is clearly considered to have tremendous physical talent, has bags of such enormous weight that he has to use magical power to lift one.
Oh Se-hyuk opened his mouth again, looking alternately at the black bag he was holding and the bag Kim Joo-hyuk was running around with.
Yoo So-yeon, who was looking at that scene, tried to pick up the black bag as well.
“… … “Is this a true story?”
She couldn’t even lift the black bag, so she laughed and muttered that.
No matter how much Yu So-yeon thought about it, it was clear that this much weight would be a huge burden on her body even if she used magical power.
Therefore, Yoo So-yeon was looking at Kim Joo-hyuk with her mouth open without even realizing it.
It was the same for Choi A-rin and Yan Lang.
However, Kim Joo-hyuk smiled with great satisfaction as he felt the weight of the black bags stuffed on his arms and legs, whether they saw him or not.
‘This isn’t that bad.’
Black pockets stuffed on Kim Joo-hyuk’s arms and legs.
It was a magic bag with an expansion spell, an item that Kim Joo-hyuk had asked Black Cat to make shortly after Valhalla’s vacation began.
Unlike the subspace pouch, which is generally treated as an artifact, this magic pouch, which literally just has an expansion spell, can certainly put a huge amount of items inside, but it was different from the subspace pouch.
The point is that it does not reduce weight immediately.
Once you put something into a subspace pocket, you can keep putting it in until its capacity is full.
Of course, the weight does not increase.
But what about the expansion pockets?
Like the subspace pocket, you can constantly put items in it, but its weight continues to increase in line with the items you put in it.
In short, the expansion pocket could be said to be a deteriorated version of the subspace pocket.
however.
‘Of course, if you feel like it’s not enough, it’s a good idea to increase the weight.’
From the perspective of Kim Joo-hyuk, who initially wanted weight to increase the burden on his body for training, the expansion pocket was a very good item.
‘Well, it took a while to get it.’
It wasn’t particularly bad from Kim Joo-hyuk’s point of view, since he had been training his magic intensively anyway.
No, it was actually good.
The reason why the current Kim Joo-hyuk was able to run at full speed while wearing a huge bag from the beginning was because of about 3 months of magical training.
‘I’ll do it first, and if I think Choi A-rin and Yanrang’s magic power control will gradually improve, I’ll fill it in one by one.’
So Kim Joo-hyuk thought that way and continued running.
Choi A-rin and Yan Lang were watching Kim Joo-hyuk like that.
Burrr.
‘… … ?’
‘Suddenly I got chills… … ?’
I unconsciously made a questioning expression as I suddenly felt a chill in my body.
####
As winter vacation ends, Valhalla Academy becomes lively again.
The quiet student building began to fill up with students as if it had never been so.

Students who entered Valhalla Academy after overcoming more competitive admission requirements than last year were having an entrance ceremony in the first-year auditorium.
And in the Valhalla Academy’s director’s office, Black Cat was taking care of some things to do as the academy started school.
“I guess you’re busy?”
When he saw Kim Joo-hyuk, who soon entered the chairman’s office, he immediately lowered his head.
“Kim Joo-hyuk? “What’s going on here?”
“I was on my way to eat and stopped by for this reason.”
Black Cat responded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s words by looking at the black pouch in his hand.
“Is there any problem… … ?”
“No, did you like it? “I actually liked it so much that I wondered if I could get a few more.”
Black Cat immediately nodded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“Then I’ll try to get a few more right away. and.”
“Do you have anything to say?”
Black Cat nodded to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
“Yes, first of all, I was planning to meet you in person a little later and tell you, but since you came to visit me, I will tell you now if I have time.”
“Tell me first.”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s words.
Black Cat soon conveyed to Kim Joo-hyuk what he heard from the master behind the scenes.
“… … So, you’re saying there’s one among the constellations that can’t be seen?”
“Yes, first of all, the Constellation found that Master’s friend was not there… … .”
“my friend?”
“Yes, that…” … .”
Black Cat glanced at Kim Joo-hyuk and spoke.
“From what I heard, your friend is a paras*xual animal lover… … .”
“ah.”
As soon as he heard that story, Kim Joo-hyuk nodded at the image of someone that came to mind.
‘It’s definitely a little weird without him.’
Kim Joo-hyuk, who remembered that although he was a bit of an odd-minded guy, he definitely had enough strength to avoid getting hit anywhere, quickly ended his brief reminiscence.
“What else did you find besides that?”
“First of all, I haven’t heard anything else.”
Black Cat says.
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded as if he understood and then turned around.
“ah.”
As if something suddenly occurred to him, he turned around and opened his mouth.
“Hey, and I’m curious, what are they doing down there?”
“If it’s below… … Oh, you mean the protesting students?”
“A protest?”
Before entering the former chairman’s office, Kim Joo-hyuk thought of the students camped out in front of the building and answered like that.
Black Cat nodded and answered.
“Yes, this is a protest to be allowed back into the Constellation Room.”
“… … “In the Constellation Room?”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s question.
Black Cat then began to explain step by step why the students were protesting.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who had been listening to Black Cat’s story for a while, nodded and spoke as if he understood.
“So the conclusion is that those who signed a contract with a D-class constellation are saying that they want to contract with another constellation?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Why do you want to renew your contract?”
“I would probably like to contract with a slightly higher level constellation.”
“Because you couldn’t contract with a high-level constellation, didn’t you contract with a D-level constellation?”
“Actually, that’s true, but I guess I don’t want to admit it.”
At Black Cat’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk smiled and said, “Huh.”
“No, but then, wouldn’t the D-class constellations get angry? “They also have pride. I think they’d be a little annoyed if they said they would lend their strength but didn’t respond.”
“Actually, it would probably be true if the Constellation could talk properly… … “They are not D-class constellations.”
“No?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, Black Cat began explaining about the D-class constellations.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who had been listening to the story for a while, was only then able to realize the structure of the Constellation Room, which had not received much attention until now.
“So, if you say it right. When you first enter the Constellation’s room, you receive various offers?”
“yes.”
“If no contract offers come from any constellations, you basically just react and sign a contract with a D-class constellation that signs contracts with everyone, right?”
“you’re right.”
“And that D-class constellation doesn’t talk to you, unlike other constellations?”
“yes.”
“… … So, in short, can’t just D-class constellations be called constellations?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, Black Cat spoke with a slightly ambiguous expression.
“Well, honestly, I don’t know. First of all, even if it is measured as D-class, it is a relic after all, so there are constellations.”
“In other words, they are not proactive.”
“you’re right.”
In response to Black Cat’s answer, Kim Joo-hyuk slightly lowered his gaze and looked at the window.
In the view from the window, there are about 30 students who are not participating in class and are protesting to be allowed to enter the Constellation Room one more time.
“Tsk.”
Looking at them, Kim Joo-hyuk briefly clicked his tongue.
In the end, it seemed like the 30 students protesting hard down there didn’t even try and were just thinking about getting back into the Constellation’s room and making a contract with a high-ranking Constellation.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who hates these people to the point of being annoying, looks down at the window for a moment and thinks about something.
“I’ll take care of those guys.”
That’s what he said.
