Chapter 46-1: - Divine Spirit Gate Key (1)

Baek Yu-Seol wasnt someone who was good at dreaming. However, very occasionally, there were times when he dreamed; it happened usually when he was extremely tired or unable to sleep properly.

When he dreamed, he would find himself back in those childhood days. It wasn't necessarily a happy memory. At that time, he had a family, and it was sad to experience the happiness which was already lost and nothing in the world could return it back.

"... Student Yu-Seol."

Baek Yu-Seol opened his blurry eyes at the voice.

"Are you okay?"

Ouch, my back hurts. I must have dozed off for a moment."

"It's already morning. Will you be okay for class?"

"I can sleep during class."

"If a student does that, it's not good..."

"But I still study well."

Even though it was all about cheating with specs, Alterisha said with a small smile as if acknowledging it.

"You look like a different person when you wear specs and stay quiet. You're usually a troublemaker, but in those moments, you seem like a smart and well-behaved student."

"That's my original self, though."

"Y-Yeah... It's good to be positive."

"Yes. Are you doing well with solving the problem?"

Currently, that place was Alterishas laboratory. The reason he stayed in her lab until late in the morning was to solve the complex mathematical problem together, but in reality, he only gave her a few hints while she was almost solving it all by herself.

"Yeah, there's progress. After solving the remaining parts through repetitive calculations, we should be able to see the end soon."

"That's good. Hang in there a little longer."

"........ Yeah, I'll do that."

She smiled as if she was happy, but suddenly her expression turned gloomy.

"But... Is it okay like this? This research is something the professor has dedicated half his life to."

"Huh."

Baek Yu-Seol couldnt comprehend if she was kind-hearted or just naive. After having her research stolen, she could still say things like that. If it were him, he would have grabbed the proffesor by the collar long ago.

"Don't think about such useless things. What does it matter if he spent half his life on it? It's not like we stole Professor Maizens research. We are genuinely superior to him, and that's not a crime, right?"

Even though Baek Yu-Seol said that, he felt a slight pain from his conscience. But he couldn't help it; he had to calm Alterisha down.

"Yeah... Thank you."

"Once someone finds out we're here, we'll be penalized, so I'll go before sunrise."

"Take care and see you during class. It's Friday, right?"

"Oh, right."

Come to think of it, today was Friday. Since Baek Yu-Seol had some tasks to do, he took out what he had been keeping hidden.

"Club establishment... Application form?"

"Yes. My friends and I want to start a food exploration club, but we need a faculty advisor. Can you do it for us?"

"Of course. How many times have you helped me until now?"

Without hesitation, she signed the form.

"I'll try not to bother you too much."

"It's okay. Include me in the food exploration later."

The conditions for club establishment were perfectly fulfilled. Baek Yu-Seol tried his best to hide the satisfaction and left the lab.

Since the incident last time, Stella's students' access to "special purpose outings" had been restricted. They could no longer use the airship or warp hole unless they had official permission. Even if one used them secretly, there would be records, and it wouldn't take long to get caught.

That was why he was so fixated on obtaining the special purpose outing qualification.

"Hmm... Training, you say? Getting an outing permit under the guise of a food exploration club?"

"We're also training for purposes other than food exploration."

Hanwol gave him a suspicious look but didn't say much.

Even though Baek Yu-Seol made a mistake in the past, Lee Hanwol knew that he genuinely went to train, and took a detour when he heard that his friends were in danger.

"Well, fine. Just don't cause any trouble."

Thanks to Mayuseongs help, their club was successfully established, and now they were able to go out freely.

Moreover, as the club president, Baek Yu-Seol had no problem going out alone.

"It's great."

He never expected to receive this much help from Mayuseong.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">I'll definitely repay the favor later.

"Sigh."

After escaping outside of Stella's estate, he took a deep breath. It was suffocating to be confined within the academy grounds.

If he took a train a little further from Stella, he would reach Arcanium's "Rodeo Street."

This place was bustling with energetic students starting from Friday lunchtime, as young people without afternoon classes would come out to have fun. There were a lot of couples, probably because it was spring when cherry blossoms bloomed.

Rodeo Street, also known as the street of culture and arts, was similar to Korea's Daehakro. It was a place where various performances such as drama and music took place. It had well-equipped leisure facilities like theme parks, magic parks, and arcades.

There were also many walkways and cafes filled with art and music, making it a popular dating spot for students on weekends, resulting in a particularly lively atmosphere.

<em class="chakra-text css-0">{TN:- "Daehakro" refers to an area in Seoul, South Korea, specifically around the Hyehwa-dong neighborhood near Korea University. It is known as the "Street of Universities" or the "College Street." Daehakro is famous for its vibrant theater scene and is considered the center of Korean performing arts. It is home to numerous theaters, performance venues, acting schools, and cultural institutions.}

Of course, Baek Yu-Seol was not in a relationship, and he didn't go out with the intention of having fun, so he completely ignored those things and used the airship.

"Welcome to Angeline."

Around the floating city of Arcanium, there were a whopping twelve satellite cities. Among them, four were floating cities like Arcanium, while the other eight were situated on mountaintops or built on giant lakes.

Among them, Baek Yu-Seol often passed through the eastern floating city of Angeline because it was convenient to travel to various parts of the world by train from this city.

"Yawn... Student, this is the final stop. Wake up."

"Mmm."

As he dozed off with his face pressed against the train window, the destination had arrived.

"Hmm..."

The train compartment was properly ventilated, so it was quite a comfortable ride.

Although the distance itself was quite far, and the journey was hectic after counting consecutive warp holes before boarding the train, it took less than two hours.

As he slowly disembarked from the train, he opened his mouth in astonishment and gazed at the scenery before him.

"This is insane... It's unbelievable."
