What happened? I literally stumbled around with a dizzy feeling and thought back to the situation a moment ago.
It was a very strict hotel, and when Seung-yeop suddenly stood up during class, the English teacher was embarrassed and came over to scold him. At that moment, Seung-yeop suddenly took out his hand hammer from his belt and struck the teacher’s chin as if he were throwing an uppercut.
Just one blow. There was no need for a second attack. The English teacher, who had never imagined that a student would hit him with a hammer, was hit defenselessly in the chin with the hammer and collapsed like a doll, unable to move.
“Aaaah!”
“Ahh! “He, he’s crazy!”
In an instant, the classroom was filled with screams and chaos, and I was so embarrassed that I grabbed Seungyeop’s shoulder and –
— Swish!
Seungyeop’s hammer flew towards my head!
Has this kid been possessed in some way? As he sat down and narrowly avoided it, he heard a whooshing sound flying over his head.
“What on earth is this!”
“Ugh!”
… Seungyeop screamed in surprise. The person who swung the hammer was even more surprised, and he hastily apologized.
“Tongue, bro! sorry. I was mentally prepared, but when I hit the person with the hammer, I was momentarily shocked and dumbfounded, but then someone suddenly grabbed my shoulder… .”
“You swung it reflexively, right? That’s enough. What was it that suddenly hit the teacher? “Is this your plan?”
The answer came from behind me.
“I told you not to be surprised. You both relax. “It was a plan made in advance.”
The atmosphere was like a crucible of chaos, with the teacher fainting after being hit on the chin with a hammer and the students running away screaming. Ari answered softly, as if he were a person from another world.
Elena was looking around with an uncomfortable expression.
Thanks to Ari’s relaxed attitude, after I calmed down and thought about it, I quickly understood the situation.
“Are you planning on letting Seung-yeop escape from the beginning?”
“that’s right. Since you hit the teacher with a hammer, the police will be here soon. “I can hear the kids already outside going to the teacher’s office.”
“No, aren’t there too many gaps? “What if they don’t report it to the police and take care of it themselves?”
This is what happened on the first attempt. Hotel Go is a place where the Daughter of Heaven sends people one by one to the old school to be brainwashed. Therefore, there is a tendency to resolve ambiguous incidents and accidents faced by members through brainwashing through internal disciplinary action.
“So the bunch went down.”
Seungyeop, Ari, and Elena were there, but Songi was nowhere to be seen. It seems that if the school tries to bury the child without reporting it to the police, they will try to force it themselves.
“Now, please explain, at least briefly.”
All three people had ambiguous expressions. Still, when I looked at Elena, who seemed to take my side, she sighed and said:
“Don’t you feel like Ga-in is being manipulated right now? “If you don’t explain it briefly, it will continue to be off beat.”
In the end, Ari explained the current situation.
“It’s no big deal. The top priority is to secure ‘escape’! “I won’t do anything before then.”
“Are you going to do something after confirming that Seungyeop is captured?”
“that’s right.”
“I guess the place where they do something is the old school?”
“… It’s such an easy read. The plan is so obvious that it is difficult to hide it. that’s right. The plan is that if Seung-yeop is captured, everyone will attack the old school building together. Would the power there be a threat to us now anyway?”
Certainly, the cult members of the old school building are not a problem for us now. If there’s a problem, it’s probably Aurelia, right? While Elena, who defines Aurelia, marks her, I think I can easily deal with her if I, Ari, Jincheol, etc. support her.
“Huh, huh, huh, huh!”
The sound of heavy breathing. Regardless of how mentally prepared you were, was it quite a shock to hit someone with a hammer? Seungyeop’s breathing became quite heavy. While Ari gently patted my shoulder to calm me down, I checked the status window.
Unfortunately, ‘understanding the scenario’ is also a seal. When I read the grimoire, the filter function in the status window worked, so I thought that perhaps understanding the scenario would also work, but that’s not the case.
— Weeeeeee! Weeeeeee!
A siren is heard. Fortunately, it seems that the school has failed to cover it up and move on.
Not long after the police arrived, the teacher who was lying on the floor died, and the police took Seung-yeop away. Everyone’s tension eased slightly at the thought that escape had been secured. The chat window started to move around and various instructions began to appear.
Is there any need to waste time unnecessarily? That very evening, everyone decided to break into the old school building. Fortunately, the school atmosphere was chaotic that day due to Seung-yeop’s accident, so there were no problems such as the difficult paper exam that is typical of hotel high schools.

Around 7 o’clock, after class and dinner, the signal finally came.
Eunsol Lee: Start!
I came down from my dorm room to the first floor to immediately become an old teacher. As soon as she saw me in the security room, she sent a warning.
“student! It’s already late. “You know you have to get permission from your teacher to go out at night, right?”
Because of that, I had to make quite a fuss even to go outside during the first attempt. Of course, my goal at the time was to avoid getting caught, so it’s okay now. Isn’t the plan to attack the old school anyway?
“student? “What on earth is that book?”
I snatched the guard’s body, took out the key myself, and opened the locked door. Coincidentally, there were handcuffs inside the guard room, so I tied the guard’s hands myself and returned to my body.
“What on earth is this? W-what have you done!”
I went outside, leaving behind a shocked shout. Unlike before, it is so easy. I felt that a lot had changed since my first attempt. Soon she was joined by her colleagues. Ari said her hazmat suit was in her room in her dorm, so she put it on and showed up. However, there was not one person in sight.
“sister?”
“huh?”
“Are we leaving on our own?”
“that’s right.”
“What about grandfather?”
There was no silent grandfather among the gathered people.
“Grandpa has a different role.”
A little while ago, my sister summoned us using the chat window. It didn’t seem like Grandpa was that far away yet.
If you think about it, it is an understandable decision. We have grown significantly compared to the past, so the cultist army is not a problem, and there is not much that my grandfather can do in the battle with Aurelia. So it looks like they are doing something completely separate. If that’s the case, why is my sister following me?
I found out right away. As we approached the old school building, my sister kept a slight distance from us and began to look in all directions with her monocular eyes. It seems to be an exploration role.
Elena suddenly stopped.
“Elena?”
“It’s an important story. “If we come face to face with Aurelia, I think we’ll have to wait for her to make her first move.”
Unlike me, who was momentarily confused as to what he was saying, my companions nodded as if they had figured it out. Was this part included in yesterday’s meeting?
“Do you think it would be difficult to invoke justice?”
“I have an ambiguous feeling. I think it might be difficult. Of course, during the first attempt, Aurelia and the cultists had already committed evil deeds against us… .”
“The enemies now won’t even remember what happened back then. “I was anxious about this, but it became a real problem.”
Only then did I understand the situation. During our first attempt, we were attacked by a cult strike force while trying to escape Hotel High. On the other hand, in this attempt, Hotel High’s cultists and Aurelia have not done anything to us yet.
“They haven’t done anything to us, but aren’t they already replacing a lot of people?”
Elena smiled awkwardly instead of answering my question. There are some parts that can be guessed. We are already in a situation where we, the 7 people excluding me to be exact, are no different from accomplices in the teacher’s murder. That part may be the problem.
In fact, there is no need to look into such complicated reasons. In any case, Elena’s blessing depends on her own attitude. The point is that Elena herself feels somewhat uncomfortable about her current situation. Does that mean that she will be relieved of her awkwardness by becoming ‘Aurelia’s first strike’? From then on, it’s our self-defense? It cannot be an ambiguous standard.
— Boom!
Jincheol kicked the old teacher’s door with great force.
*
“What is this! Who are you? “I know where this is -”
“What a great place, isn’t it?”
Perhaps because we had not received notice in advance that someone was going to the old school, there were only about five cult members instead of the guide (Daughter of Heaven). Jincheol immediately laid everyone down without the rest of them even moving.
“No one has died yet. “Because I’m controlling my strength.”
While my brother was making excuses to Elena, I opened the door to the basement hidden behind the curtain.
“Let’s go in! As I told you before, if you go down these stairs, you will find an underground city of unbelievable scale.”
“Wow, that’s really interesting. “You said that the Room of the Cursed scenario is all a variation of something that actually happened somewhere in reality, right?”
“Yes.”
“So you’re saying that somewhere in the world there are crazy cultists building an underground city under a school?”
“Maybe that’s not necessarily the reality we live in?”
“Of course, but… . Whether it’s a parallel world or something, the fact that there are people like this is amazing. “How on earth did you make it?”
Ari got annoyed and hung up.
“Just skip it. Don’t you remember how you could resurrect dozens of cultists with a single prayer? I think it was just made through prayer. Lord, please give us our daily bread and give us some real estate because food alone is not enough in the 21st century! “I guess I did.”
As I was going down the stairs, loud noises started coming from all directions. A sense of war appeared on the faces of the group. Ari, wearing a protective suit, stood in front of us.
— Bang! bang! bang!
Should I call this fortunate? Elena’s suggestion to satisfy a kind of ‘justice-defense’ condition by making her opponent attack first seems to have been made spontaneously by her opponent. As soon as I entered, the loud sound of bullets resounded throughout the world!
…
Something is strange. Not a single bullet was aimed at us. All sounds were produced by blank bullets. The strike force of dozens of cultists who had gathered as if they had been waiting for us only aimed their guns and did not fire any more.
A path appears in the center of the strike zone. Naturally, everyone’s attention focused on one person. In an underground city with a somewhat stuffy atmosphere, a woman with a strong presence, almost like the light of the sky, appeared.
“Daughter of the new one. “Have you come to punish us?”
???
What does this mean?
Ari, who was in front, asked what he was talking about.
“I wish you could speak in a simpler way. Who is the new one? daughter? “You’re not talking about me, are you?”
Aurelia reacted as if it was absurd and did not even look at Ari. Her eyes are only on Elena.
“The Father has spoken… .”
Heavenly light began to flow down to earth.
