The Golden Sun of the Academy - The Golden Sun of the Academy chapter 125

Episode 125

Finals (2)

When I opened the gritty brown envelope, there was an unknown piece of paper and a small glass bottle inside.

Is it only about the size of a thumb? It wasn’t that big.

[Did you call me out so quietly just to give me this piece of paper? Ha, true… … .]

“well? It’s not finished yet, so wait a minute.”

Hearing a voice that seemed like he would shake his head if Yeriel’s mental body was in front of him, Kanghyuk made tongs with his thumb and forefinger and took out the paper inside.

Stiff paper was dangling in the air.

What the hell was this about?

Perhaps ‘Is there something enclosed?’ Wanting to lift the envelope upside down and pour it out, a glass bottle tumbles down onto the bed. Other than that, nothing special.

[So what is it after all?]

Kanghyuk brought the paper in front of Yeriel’s attention.

“Genetic test request… … ?”

[Why am I giving this to you?]

“There must be a reason. I’m not a kid who would act so thoughtlessly.”

[I don’t like him. I always laugh unluckily. I mean, I can’t figure it out.]

In order to figure out the identity of the unknown paper, Kanghyuk’s eyes began to move busily.

– Sample NO.13311 Ingredient Inspection Request Form.

-As a result of analyzing the above sample 13311… … .

“… … Is this a sample?”

Looking at the request that started with the following words, Kanghyuk picked up the glass bottle.

In the bottle I picked up, I saw the golden hair flowing down.

A few strands of unspectacular hair.

At first glance, it looks like human hair, and at another glance, it looks like animal hair.

-… … For the above reasons, ‘Sample 13311 collected at the scene of the incident (Namjin Building)… … .

[Hyukah?]

“… … Wait, just a moment.”

Except for the odd color arrangement, black on one end and gold on the other.

Looking through the inside of the glass bottle in his hand, Kanghyuk felt an ominous feeling for some reason.

-… … It is certain that the body hair found outside is that of Nam Chun-wu. So, as a result of analyzing the body hair presumed to be that of the culprit… … .

Kang Hyuk’s eyes began to widen as he read the request with Yeriel wrapped in a sheath beside him.

no way?! No way!?

Comparing the body size recorded on public CCTV makes no sense.

[The ‘scene of the incident’ written here is not something else, but the recent incident, right?]

“… … Probably. A building called the Namjin Building is not common.”

At this moment, when I think of blonde hair mixed with black, only one person comes to mind.

golden sun. But how many people in the world have dyed their hair blonde?

-… … It is presumed to be human, and if there is someone who is presumed to be a suspect for smooth case resolution and truth-finding, we request a sample for comparative analysis.

[…] … Ay no way? Isn’t it?]

“… … Is that right?”

Kanghyuk’s face hardened as he answered.

Maybe, maybe, but it’s not possible.

If what Gold Taeyang has been hiding all this time is his activities as a minion of a higher world… … .

If it is related to the death of parents and the Pandemonium.

… … No one knows the back story.

-Bocchan, is this really the last time-? It was dangerous because I could get caught this time. If you keep requesting privately without the head of household, I’m in trouble too.

“Yes, of course. I know. This will be the last time I ask Uncle Tae-joo like this.”

– Whoa… … I’m glad you know. Seriously, when I see the things you ask me to do, he behaves like I’m a cat. I don’t have nine lives.

In response to the voice coming from the smartphone speaker placed close to his face, Lee Young-woong replied with a smile in between.

“Oh. How was the admission of your son that you mentioned the other day well? 00’s annex, right? A place registered as our family foundation.”

– Oh, don’t even talk. Could there be a problem? who watched it

Laughing, Lee Young-woong got up from the bed he was sitting on, approached the bookshelf placed on one side of the room, and pulled out a file folder.

It’s not very thick, but it’s a pretty heavy file with paper packed inside.

“Then I’m glad. I heard you are going on a business trip soon, so let’s have a meal next time.”

Sitting on a chair in front of the computer, Lee Young-woong, as if he was used to it, passed through the post-it notes arranged on top of the file and pulled out a few documents from inside.

On the top of the document, the name ‘Jang Tae-joo’ is written on it.

-Yes, Bocchan. See you then.

The call ended with a ‘pop’ sound, and Lee Young-woong’s expression cooled down after he hung up. That moment.

-so. Taejoo Did that guy solve it for you?

A middle-aged man’s voice echoed from the speakers on the left and right of the computer desk.

There was a hint of arrogance in his low-pitched voice.

But that’s not unnatural.

I take it for granted as if I were wearing my own clothes.

As Lee Young-woong turned his head toward the monitor, he saw a man in his field of vision.

It’s like, ‘Wouldn’t Lee Young-woong get old when he gets older?’ It’s the face I want.

Lee Young-woong lightly bowed toward him as if he was used to it.

“Yes, Father. He is a man who risks betraying his family. I didn’t feel any pressure to cheat the owner for my own self-interest.”

-… … trash guy. I’ve been very good at it, but it doesn’t take long to turn the palm over. i get it. If there are candidates in mind for the position, cull them out.

“All right.”

Lee Young-woong’s father, Lee Gwang-jin, swallowed an unpleasant silence.

-And you’ll have to properly explain yesterday’s events later.

“Yes, Father.”

-You know very well how high the expectations are on you, so don’t say more.

Watching the screen immediately darken, Lee Young-woong threw his smartphone onto the bed.

The sound of grinding teeth leaked out of Lee Young-woong’s mouth.

“Ha-, if you really want to use it, there are flaws one by one.”

It was just this time.

I thought I was a useful person, so I painstakingly put down the work, but Lee Kwang-jin immediately stepped on me, as if it had such a long tail.

As he had already ridden his younger siblings, he had gained unwelcome attention, and the number of cards he could freely use within the family was reduced by one.

Of course, Lee Kwang-jin didn’t say much because he was cold-hearted in this area, but he wasn’t vigilant at all, so if it’s annoying, it’s annoying.

Recently, I’m working on planting my own person one by one in the main departments within the family, but it’s not good to keep getting caught in this way.

“… … Is this good enough guy?”

I went through the prepared files one by one and searched for parts to replace.

Inside the dark church.

Chevalier, dressed in a nun’s uniform and sitting on a church chair, neatly put her hands together and looked up at the church ceiling.

In order to suppress the miasma rising in the heart, it is now a prayer that has become a necessity rather than an option.

ah, lord

Under the moonlight coming through the glass.

She prayed harder than anyone else, but there is still no answer from heaven.

You can feel the poison slowly rising around the pit of the stomach.

The more I did, the more I strengthened my clasped hands to forget the pain.

You know your own characteristics better than anyone else.

The ability to take on the suffering of others.

It was an ability more suited to a saint than anyone else, so when she first awakened, she was satisfied with Chevalier.

However, the miracle that he thought could free others from suffering was a curse that made him suffer.

The pain that completely engulfed my chest began to travel down my shoulder and down the back of my neck.

As she recites the Lord’s Prayer, her voice gradually gains strength, and within a few moments, moans are mixed with unbearable pain.

There is no one around. She endured the poison accumulating inside her alone.

It was only after it was completely midnight that she was able to finish her prayers.

Chevalier felt as if she had subtle dark circles under her eyes.

The next morning, morning.

-Giying.

After coming out of the dormitory, Lee Young-woong heard a familiar vibration in his ears.

On his way to the stadium, he stopped, feeling the vibration of his smartphone through his pants.

-Hyuk Kang-

Looking at the name that popped up on the screen of the smartphone he took out, Lee Young-woong could not help laughing.

It was a natural reaction to receive a call from Kang Hyuk.

It was written in such a way that if you read the report he handed over while you knew Taeyang, you would have no choice but to answer.

Even so.

I never thought it would come like this

It turned out that his thoughts were correct.

When attacking an enemy, there is no need to aim for the strong one first.

It’s not easy to trick such guys, and if they work, they can do a lot of damage to the opposing team.

With that time and effort, you can weed out several times as many small rodents, so the cost performance is not good.

If it weren’t for the streets where people pass by, I would have been mad without patience.

Twitching the corners of his mouth, Lee Young-woong brought the smartphone to his ear.

“hello?

-… … hello?

Hearing the voice of Kang Hyuk who asked after a while, he hurried his steps.

Leaving the dormitory complex and looking towards the stadium, the roof of the stadium can be seen vaguely over the trees.

The white dome-shaped roof felt exceptionally clean today.

“Oh, Hyuk. what’s the matter?”

– Can I see you for a second before the finals start?

My feet, which were a bit heavy due to the paperwork I had been working on last night, became much lighter. Even so.

“well? The finals today?”

It doesn’t show on the outside.

It’s over there that’s urgent, not this way.

It is the basic of the basics to get an advantageous high point in negotiations.

-I saw the request you gave me.

“Oh, that? I guess it’s a bit like that. Are you in a hurry?”

-… … uh. It’ll take a while.

You can see Lee Yoo-ra at a glance beyond the tree-lined trees. Leaving her busy walking behind, Choi Gyu-ri and Cha Seung-hyeok passed by one after another.

Gyu-tae Lee is also seen passing by.

Each of them may have different goals, but the destination is the same.

Today’s armament was different from usual, so the bag on my back was different.

It was heavy, but it felt like a pleasant weight.

“Then let’s meet for a moment in the player’s lounge, not in the waiting room. Don’t stop by the waiting room and come right away.”

-… … All right, I’ll wait there.

Upon arriving at the stadium, Lee Young-woong headed toward the opposite exit, not toward the entrance.

Unlike the waiting room, it was much faster to go to the exit.

There are no matches scheduled other than the final today.

It was like saying that there was no one wandering around the exit, so it was easy to avoid the eyes of others.

Lee Young-woong, who entered the arena, was able to meet Kang Hyuk at the entrance of the break room.

After reaching an agreement, the two immediately broke up and headed to their respective waiting rooms.

Heading to the waiting room, Lee Young-woong’s narrowed eyes bent inexplicably.

* * *

The morning of the finals. I was the first to arrive in the waiting room.

As soon as I entered the waiting room, I approached the cabinet labeled ‘Geumtaeyang’ and crumpled my luggage.

Except for the black sword.

No need for armor.

It wouldn’t be bad if there were, but needlessly cumbersome things only get in the way of me.
