#Returner’s Notepad Episode 78
University tour (3)
“Looking at it again… … .”
After Gerken and Sion left. Eidman, wearing a plain tank top, is watching the video.
“They are so different from each other.”
While Gerken made excellent use of his horse body to overcome the muddy road without falling, Sion Askal overcame it purely with athletic ability.
“His athletic ability is at an all-time high. Will you have stardom when you come to college? Does this make sense as a rigid body talent?”
Eidman was impressed.
Of course, it could be said that Sion Askal simply ‘saw the weakness of the mud trap.’
I put a board underneath for training purposes. If it had been a real fight, he would have died.
However, it doesn’t make sense to decide to overcome that and rise above it, or to actually do it.
“Didn’t you just use the machete in there?”
A member of the team asked while eating popcorn.
“Then it’s even greater, isn’t it?”
It is a mud that devours magical power. If he could activate his magic body that much in this mud, he would not be at the level of a high school student. It’s not even at college student level. At least 5th rank or higher.
“Elasticity, explosiveness, strength, flexibility, agility, quickness, balance, power all… … “This is a unique talent.”
I keep rewinding it, and I keep laughing. The more I look at it and think about it, the more ‘real’ it feels. Especially for Ademan, who is very interested in the body and rigid bodies.
“Somehow, my body feels amazing.”
“Did you touch me again in the meantime?”
The assistant member asked as if he was astonished.
“uh. A little while saying hello. “The body isn’t that big, but there’s a rock stuck in it.”
Eidman clenched and unclenched his hand. Sion Askal’s shoulders, deltoids and trapezius, and a little bit of his lats. I muttered, reliving that feeling.
“683cm.”
A record of high shooting that suddenly appeared in Endex and heated up the community for a long time.
Either it was Gerken or the person in charge was playing a prank – the controversy has already ended.
“It could be this guy.”
An exciting smile appeared on Eidman’s lips.

We toured quite a few clubs. Starting with [Body Incline], Classical Club [Spring Song], Reading Club [Moon at Dusk], Latinel Club [Golden Garden], Candy Club [Daldi Sweet Garden]
I received acceptance notices from two places. Body Incline and Ratinelle.
On the other hand, all Gerkens passed.
“Oh, we’re in big trouble.”
I still need one more place, and there are only 30 minutes left.
There is not enough time to conduct a proper interview.
I can’t help it.
“… … hey.”
I called out to Gerken who was ahead. He glanced at me.
“let’s go. Shiver. “Travel club.”
“refuse.”
Gerken responded immediately.
“why. “Don’t you listen to people who are weaker than you?”
“Because I hate traveling. “I’m already on a trip.”
“… … “I know your hometown isn’t here, but I need to get a stamp, right?”
I picked up my smartphone. I sent a message to Xierin.
[If you take Gerken, you will pass, right?]
Then Gerken slightly furrowed his eyebrows. I showed the smartphone and asked.
“Wow, you’re spying on someone else’s smartphone.”
“You’re showing it.”
Tiring?
Just then a reply arrived.
[Sierin: Just bring it hehe;]
[If I don’t get a clear answer, I won’t take you. We have already received the passing stamp, so there is no need to go there.]
[Sierin: I understand haha]
[I will only take you to Gerken if you promise to let me pass too. If you don’t do it, I won’t take you.]
“I never said I was going.”
Gerken retorted, but was ignored.
[Sierin: Oh, okay. If you bring me, I’ll let you pass too. What are you going to do if I can’t bring you ㅡㅡ?]
[Let’s commit suicide.]
[Sierin: Yes, that’s good. Let’s promise too. I hate people who don’t keep their promises the most in the world, right?]
I thrust the contents of the text into Gerken’s face.
“Did you see it? I risked my life. “If I commit suicide, I will write your name in my will.”
“… … .”
Gerken looked at me with grave eyes and shook his head.

Shiver, the interview room at the travel club is gorgeous. As it is a club with a long history, the interview room is like a high-class society, with classical melodies playing softly and waiters serving champagne.
“… … “This class of ‘13 is a bit unremarkable.”
On the other hand, the interviewers looked very dissatisfied. Xie Lin also nodded earnestly.
“They said last year’s College Board exam was the easiest. They lowered the difficulty level because the talent pool was so bad. “I expected it~”
“That’s right. “In fact, the seniors looked better.”
Endex seniors also came for the interview. Elise, Laye, Kane, Escher, etc. They were all juniors who knew Sielin as well. She was a freshman when she was a junior.
“I guess Gerken won’t come.”
The assistant next to me said. Xie Lin muttered while holding her smartphone.
“Then there will be something to see? “They say if you don’t come, one of them will commit suicide.”
“… … Suicide?”
Just then the door opened. Xie Lin straightened his posture without realizing it.
As expected, it was a Gerken with a halo. There was also a yellow head next to it.
“Oh my goodness. “You look really handsome.”
“But who is that person next to me?”
“It’s Zion Askal. Gerken friend.”
Xie Lin smiled and waved her hand.
“You’re here~ Gerken.”
Then Gerken just nodded his head slightly. If it were an ordinary commoner, I would have wanted to tear him to death, but if Gerken did it, he was just chic and reticent.
Sion Askal next to him came up and said.
“Keep your promise.”
“Oh, well. okay. “You can go.”
He held out a card.
“Please stamp it.”
“Ah Okay.”
Xie Lin roughly stamped the card.
“Gerken. Are you Juryeon too?”
Gerken also mumbled and held out a card. There were stamps of acceptance from Omani clubs.
“I got a lot~ Erase the rest.”
She managed to find an empty seat and stamped it.
“phew. “I barely filled it.”
Shion muttered that and put the card in his pocket. Xie Lin smiled brightly and said.
“Oh right. You know, right? “We are not a college club, so even high school students can join.”
At that moment, both of their bodies trembled.
“It is also called a joint club. “I will accept you two~”
“I’m fine. “Just take this one.”
I pushed Gerken. Gerken resisted. Xie Lin slightly lowered her head and smiled. The curved corners of his mouth were as fierce as a knife.
“Wouldn’t it be a good idea to join?”
“… … .”
“… … .”
The two men looked at her silently. There seemed to be mumbles of dissatisfaction in her mouth, but no words came out of her.
Xie Lin waved her hand.
“Why are you looking at me like that? Should I go and have a meal? “The buffet will be delicious.”
He pointed to the food filling the interview room. The two men just licked their lips and trudged towards it.
Gerken said.
“… … thanks. “Thanks to you, time will be very short.”
Shion responded.
“You don’t even know how to use rain.”
… … .
A hall filled with an old-fashioned atmosphere, like a ballroom.
“Why are you here?”
As I was serving food at the buffet, I made eye contact with Elise.
She was with college students. Most of them were students at Selenacio Academy.
I don’t know, because Selenacio wears something like a blue flower on her chest. They form a cartel among themselves.
“I passed. me too.”
“… … you? how?”
Elise had a face of genuine curiosity.
“I did something called human sacrifice.”
“Ginseng cat? “What kind of cat is that?”
“… … what.”
“What are you talking about? Anyway, you were lucky. There are a lot of connections here that you can’t even imagine at your level. Be grateful.”
I was dumbfounded. I didn’t even want to sign up, so what luck did I get?
… … But, if you think about it objectively, it seems that way.
Because the Shiver club is quite famous.
The purpose of this club’s creation is simply ‘travel’, and it is a high-class club that only selects and flies to places that ordinary people can never go to, or only go once or twice in their lifetime.
Collaborate with knights, magic towers, workshops, etc. to enter labyrinths or dungeons, go to the continent’s best casino, Berrygas, or take a ultra-luxurious cruise.
I have to pay, but wouldn’t a commoner like me be more considerate?
I packed my food and sat down anywhere. I took a bite and my eyes widened.
“and.”
The taste was no joke. I quickly checked my watch.
There are only 20 minutes left, so you have to eat it quickly.
Waku Waku-
As I ate the buffet, I inadvertently looked up at the balcony.
The interview had already ended, and Xie Lin, the club executives, and several graduates wearing suits were leaning against the railing. They muttered a few words, but Xierin nodded as if she had no interest in their conversation.
I stuck my nose in the plate.
There is no need to worry about Xierin.
Because now it’s all gone.
Because that past and that future will no longer be repeated.
─… … ruler. everyone.
A moderator appeared. He held the microphone and spoke in an old-fashioned way.
─I will first introduce myself to all new and current students. This is Miss Sierra, a Class of 2012 student, who has become the new manager of our Shiver club.
A spotlight illuminated Xierin on the balcony. Her white hair was colored by the lights. She waved her hand like a movie character.
In that sight, an old thought suddenly came to mind.
Sielyn Sianna Abendher Lucy.
Before returning, she wanted to have Gerken.
The plan was to bring Gerken into the family as Daryl’s son-in-law, pushing out his twin brother, Sieric, and taking over the family.
However, Gerken was not a man anyone could own, and Sierin was eventually kicked out of Aventaher and became the wife of a tycoon.
There, too, she was embroiled in rumors of an affair.
The ‘story’ itself was a lie, but it was also the truth.
“It’s always been an unhappy life,” she muttered, as if complaining. Considering her unique beggar-like personality, various evil deeds that contrast with her elegant appearance, and her sense of being the chosen one, more than 80% of her actions were her own fault, but the failure of her marriage was not her own fault.
My husband was not heterosexual.
It was a fake marriage.
Sielin, perhaps, committed an affair because of that.
At least I told someone other than my husband that I loved him.
I still don’t know if it was love or impulse.
However, the person she loved would not have loved her.
Because I just happened to meet her for work, accidentally saved her, protected her, and used her.
In other words.
If it weren’t for such coincidences, Xierin would never have liked or loved him.
As a result of feeling love-like feelings for him, she will not go from being the wife of a chaebol to becoming a wicked woman who committed adultery and falls into the mud.
──It will have to be that way.
“… … Let’s live this life well.”
I looked up at Xie Lin and muttered.
For a moment, her eyes drifted this way. She faced slightly. I lowered my head as naturally as possible. I wiped the sauce off my mouth. I slowly got up from my seat.
“hmm. “It’s delicious.”
After roughly organizing my plate, I came out of the hall. She looked up at the college skyline and shrugged her shoulders.
Ah, how do I know so well?
Because it’s about someone I know.
… … okay.
Because it’s my story.
Before returning, rumors spread that Xierin was having an affair with a mere chauffeur.
The driver’s name was Sion Askal.
