Chapter 189

How many students could call the principal to the club room?

Maybe if you were Shing HaYoon, the Student Council President, you could do it. The heir of the Shinsung Group, one of the schools main sponsors and supporters, was also able to enjoy such a privilege.

"Principal! Over here!" EunAh excitedly pointed toward a corner for some reason.

"Install a portal for me here!"

Jin ByungCheol smiled as he wiped the sweat from his brow from the unreasonable petition.

"Haha EunAh, a portal isn't an air conditioner It isn't something that can be easily installed"

If she were any other student, he would have said, 'What nonsense are you spouting!'

'Ugh, why does it have to be on a day when Im already busy' ByungCheol smiled as he remembered how the Shinsung Group had lent them their testing zone.

ByungCheol made a troubled expression and smiled. "EunAh, its not just a matter of paying for it. You need the proper installations to activate it, and then the work that ensues will take a few weeks, not to mention permissions"

EunAh smirked. "I already know that. I let Mom know, and she prepared permissions for one.

"Y-you already received permission? But that isn't something you can obtain so easily How could you receive portal permission as easily as if it were a kimchi fridge?" ByungCheol mumbled in surprise.

EunAh talked as if that much was nothing.

"That's why I just need to pay for the installation. How much will it cost?"

Since EunAh said she'd already prepared everything else, ByungCheol coughed and showed her four fingers.

"Four million?"

"No. 400K should be enough. We just have to bring in an existing portal's installations."

"Oh, it's cheaper than I thought! Please do it immediately!"

EunAh showed her black card, and ByungCheol tried to maintain an adult smile.

"Y-yes. EunAh, I'll try to get people for it today"

400k USD or four million USD were amounts of money that hurt Sumire's head just to think about. She looked at EunAh and ByungCheol.

'As expected, in moments like this'

She continued to sit on the sofa and drink her tea.

'I'd rather stay quiet!'

Thanks to that interaction, a personal portal was installed in YuSung's club room. It was something no one would have imagined.

Adela had injured her feet, so YuSung was holding her in a princess carry.

She felt the areas of her body that YuSung was touching becoming hotter.

[When I'm with you, my heart beats faster Why is that?]

Adela wasn't the cold woman who used to be at the top of Gaon anymore. She was just a normal girl who was blushing because of emotions she'd never experienced before.

"It seems like I'm feeling embarrassed"

As proof of that, Adela's voice was getting weaker.

"Being hugged like this"

Surprisingly, even while feeling embarrassed, she continued to look at YuSung.

"I'm sorry, it's just that I was worried." He put her down and lowered his head so that he would match her height. "When a hunters heart rate increases, they often get disoriented.

It was common for hunters who overused mana after a battle to feel that way.

'As I thought, Adela pushed herself too much.'

YuSung looked at Adela with a worried expression. Her emotions were intense due to everything that happened, and she'd used a lot of mana on top of that, so it was understandable that her body would be burdened.

"Do you have a fever?" YuSung put his hands on Adela's forehead.

'She definitely feels hot.'

YuSung's expression was becoming serious. Maybe it was because he was staring at her, but Adelas cheeks were getting even redder.

"Ugh"

Adela hid her face behind the dragons egg.

She wasn't sure why she was acting that way or why her face was turning red. The only thing she knew was

"YuSung you're quite handsome."

Seen up close, YuSung was so good-looking that it was enough to make her flustered. She had just realized it, too.

YuSung smiled awkwardly at Adela's compliment. "Adela I'm not going to forget today. If you need my help, feel free to ask me anytime."

If it weren't for Adela and Arden's help, YuSung wouldn't have been able to protect Sardonyx's egg.

The egg was a unique artifact and something that was at the level of a national treasure, so YuSung had avoided a huge loss thanks to her.

Adela pulled the egg slightly lower after his serious thanks. "I see but just accompanying me to the 10th floor is good enough."

Her voice had returned to normal.

"You dont have enough to clear it with just one party."

"This is something both parties need, so you couldn't say it's a favor," YuSung said.

Adela nodded at YuSung's words. "I see"

Thanks to that, YuSung was in debt to Adela.

Adela smiled at him. "Then we are in debt with each other."

She rarely smiled. Arden had wished for her to be able to for such a long time, but YuSung was the one who ended up monopolizing it.

YuSung looked confused. "Youre in debt to me?"

Hed thought that, with this incident, he'd become indebted to her, but for both of them to be indebted to each other?

"Did you already forget that I said I'd stay by your side the day you wanted to cry?" Adela mumbled in a low voice.

Although her expression was emotionless, YuSung could read how Adela was feeling for some reason.

"Don't forget that, YuSung. The day you're sad you have to call me."

Adela's reaction was cuter than expected.

"I promise, Adela. Whenever that day comes, stay by my side."

YuSung also felt good at the idea that he'd gotten closer to Adela. He thought that they were really partners, not just people who had done a raid together.

"Let's go back." Adela began walking calmly, her previously flustered self nowhere to be seen.

A few moments after they began walking, Adela spoke. "YuSung, there's a favor I want to ask of you I suddenly feel like I want to hold hands with you, YuSung. Is that okay?

She was very seriously stating that she wanted to hold his hand. She had saved Sardonyx's egg, so he thought doing that much would be okay.

"It's okay."

Adela tightly gripped his hand.

She began feeling good as her hand, which had become colder due to her ability usage, touched YuSung's.

Maybe Adela liked hot packs for more than just warming her hands. As proof of that, Adela's emotions, which had frozen 10 years prior, started to melt.

'Hot packs It seems like I won't need them today.'

For some reason, she felt that she would want to do more things with YuSung in the future. Adela clenched her other hand,

"I'll be in your care next time."
