◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Yeah, I admit it.
That I took too much.
But I only admit it, I don’t think I did anything wrong.
It’s natural for an academy student to take supplies from the academy.
And even if there are firearm users in the academy, it’s only me and Lee Seo-yeon.
No, Lee Seo-yeon is only interested in pistols, so I’m the only one using firearm supplies.
So isn’t it okay for me to use all the firearm supplies?
‘Honestly, it’s malicious stock, right? Who else is going to use it besides me?’
Therefore, I’m not in the wrong.
Since I’m not wrong, I’ll ask the staff.
Why did they call for me?
Are they discriminating by only not refilling the firearm supplies?
With that thought in mind, I went to find the supply department.
And approaching the supply staff in charge of Class 1-A.
“I’m really sorry!”
I suddenly apologized.
That was because the staff looked like worn-out livestock itself.
Shaggy hair and dark circles.
The desk was full of energy drinks.
Seeing that appearance no different from a zombie, I admitted it.
That I was in the wrong.
No, whether I admitted it or not, I was definitely in the wrong.
“…Who are you?”
The staff member who was busily working looked at me with a confused face.
To him, I bowed again and said.
“I’m Lee Yu-jin from Class 1-A. You were looking for me……”
“Ah…, student Lee Yu-jin.”
Only then did the staff member realize who I was and staggered up from the desk.
And instead of swinging his hand toward me, he held it out as if to shake hands and said.
“Nice to meet you, student Lee Yu-jin. I’m Baek Young-woo, working in the supply department.”
“Ah, yes! Nice to meet you.”
I was a bit confused by his friendly attitude as he introduced himself as Baek Young-woo and offered a handshake.
Judging by the scribbled handwriting on the A4 paper he left for me, I thought he was angry….
“Would you like a drink? I only have energy drinks, but the new one that came out recently is quite delicious.”
Whether I was confused or not, Baek Young-woo took out an energy drink from the mini-fridge under the desk, the same as the one on the desk, and held it out to me.
“Ah no…, it’s okay.”
“Is that so? Then excuse me, I’ll just have one can. I’m quite sleepy right now……”
Saying that, Baek Young-woo opened the can and immediately started drinking the energy drink right there.
A gulping sound was heard only briefly.
“…Hmm, it’s delicious indeed.”
Baek Young-woo, who finished 500ml in an instant, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and smiled with satisfaction.
And perhaps thanks to the effect of the energy drink, the tired look on his face slightly, very slightly disappeared.
But that seemed to be enough, as Baek Young-woo smiled at me and said.
“Thank you for waiting, student Lee Yu-jin. Now, before getting to the main point.”
Baek Young-woo took a card key from the desk and put it in his pants pocket.
“There’s a place you need to go with me. Let’s talk on the way.”
Saying that, Baek Young-woo turned around and started walking somewhere.
I followed him with a puzzled face.
“I heard you were pulled into the Other World yesterday. Are you okay?”
“Ah, yes. I’m fine.”
“That’s a relief.”
So, Baek Young-woo added.
“Did you use the supplies well?”
“*Cough*…, yes…, I used them well.”
I almost choked at the sudden question.
Despite my reaction, Baek Young-woo just nodded, saying it was a relief that I used them well.
With that as the last word.
“……”
“……”
Silence flowed.
The only thing that could be heard now.
Thump thump.
Was the sound of two footsteps walking down the hallway.
‘No, you said let’s talk on the way.’
I was grateful that he didn’t get angry about using up all the supplies, but it was not only awkward but also uncomfortable that he was taking me somewhere without saying anything.
But that discomfort was short-lived.
“We’re here.”
Baek Young-woo stopped in front of a door.
“This is…?”
“The firearm item storage.”
As if to back up those words, ‘Firearm’ was written on the door.
Baek Young-woo took out the card he had put in his pocket and held it up to the keypad next to the door.
Then, with the sound of the lock being released, the door opened automatically.
“Well, let’s go in.”
Saying that, Baek Young-woo strode inside.
“……”
I didn’t know why he brought me here, but I obediently followed him inside.
Then the lights came on in the dark interior.
“…Wow.”
I could see an enormous amount of firearm supplies piled up, enough to make me stick out my tongue.
“…Is this okay? The moment it explodes, the academy will disappear.”
“It’s fine. Not only the entire academy, but also this storage has defense magic and strength enhancement magic installed, so even if all the explosives here go off, there’s no problem.”
After saying that, he suddenly held out the card key to me.
“…What are you doing?”
“Student Lee Yu-jin, as you can see, I’m an ordinary person, not a superhuman.”
“What?”
All of a sudden?
I asked back with a puzzled face, but Baek Young-woo continued speaking.
“So I can’t use mana.”
“……”
“Without mana, I can’t use artifacts either. For example, subspace rings or necklaces.”
…What is he trying to say by building up like this?
Don’t tell me, he wants to say it’s hard to move the firearm supplies?
“So what I want to say is…, it’s hard to move the supplies.”
…I thought it might be, but it really is.
But…, looking at Baek Young-woo’s appearance, it seemed likely.
He was not a superhuman, and what strength did he have in that skinny body like a zombie?
Still, there should be a means of transportation or staff to help, right?
When I asked that, Baek Young-woo answered with a drained yet sad-looking face.
“When you stopped by the supply department earlier, were there many people?”
Were there many people?
“No, there weren’t many……”
Ah.
“That’s right. There weren’t.”
So that was how it was.
I looked at Baek Young-woo with sympathetic eyes.
Then he let out a short sigh and continued speaking.
“That’s right…, everyone went on business trips and vacations.”
So that was why he looked like a zombie now.
It wasn’t for nothing that he looked like worn-out livestock.
“And there is a means of transportation, but as I said before, there’s no one, so I can’t move it alone.”
Of course.
What was the point of having a means of transportation when it was people who moved the goods anyway?
Even in this modern fantasy world, this part wasn’t different.
“So, will you receive it directly for the time being?”
Saying that, Baek Young-woo placed the card key in my hand.
I nodded and accepted the card key.
For me, it was rather good.
I could take as much as I wanted without worrying.
Still, just in case, I should ask.
“Can I take as many supplies as I want?”
“As long as you don’t take them out to sell, you can take as much as you want.”
At that affirmation, I grinned.
“Thank you. As a reward, I’ll show you some magic.”
“…Oh, you know how to do magic too?”
Yes, I know how.
Do you know about inventory?
It’s like a bag of endless abyss……
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
‘I’ve seen other storages getting emptied many times, but it’s the first time I’ve seen the firearm item storage getting emptied.’
‘You’re asking if you can take this much next time too? Yes, there’s no problem, but for the time being, there won’t be any firearm supplies. Even if I request the manufacturing department to make supplies, they don’t come out right away.’
‘You’re asking if there will be sanctions on me? Haha, it’s fine. Anyway, the only one using firearm supplies right now is student Lee Yu-jin, so it doesn’t matter if you use them all alone. Rather, they’ll tell you to take more. Arena Academy is a generous place to capable students.’
‘So, take as much as you want and use as much as you want. And become a great hero and protect weak people like me.’
Baek Young-woo…, was he a god?
How could there be a staff member like that?
No, rather, I couldn’t forgive myself.
To think that I was going to argue with such a person.
Ah, GOAT, please forgive me for having an irreverent heart for a moment.
I praised him in my heart and walked down the hallway according to the building’s guide map.
And the place I arrived at was Kang Cheol-su’s office.
The reason I came here was because of the Fallen worshipper I was going to find soon.
Originally, I planned to extort money from that bastard and later inform Kang Cheol-su, Noah, or the academy.
But now that I knew the Other World I entered was actually a double rift, I needed to find out which named one had been influencing the academy from the beginning.
However, I didn’t have the strength to deal with the Fallen worshipper yet.
So I went to find Kang Cheol-su.
Because he was the only one who would believe and help me in this situation.
Of course, I thought the main character kids would also help if I told them, but…, it was better to be certain.
Ah, but the time was 9 AM now, wasn’t he in Building A preparing for class?
Knock knock.
“Who is it?”
Fortunately.
Kang Cheol-su was inside.
“It’s me, Lee Yu-jin. I have a matter to discuss with you, Instructor Kang Cheol-su.”
“Lee Yu-jin? What brings you here at this hour…, anyway, come in.”
With Kang Cheol-su’s permission, I opened the door and went inside.
“Is it urgent? I need to go prepare for class soon.”
Kang Cheol-su was preparing class materials with his back turned.
Seeing that, I knew I would have missed him if I had been just a minute late.
At this, I let out a sigh of relief inwardly and said to him.
“Yes, it’s an urgent matter.”
“Is that so? What is it?”
Kang Cheol-su was still preparing materials despite my words that it was urgent.
Will he still do that after hearing this?
“I found the culprit who caused the rift incident this time, the Fallen worshipper.”
Flinch.
Kang Cheol-su’s movements stopped.
At the same time.
Crunch!
The class material held in Kang Cheol-su’s hand was pulverized.
Ah…, I’m sorry, classmates.
I just eliminated your class.
But since it was a matter of taking down a Fallen worshipper, please understand.
While I was thinking that, finally.
“…You found the Fallen worshipper?”
Kang Cheol-su turned his body to face me.
And his appearance was.
“Which son of a bitch is it?”
The appearance of the Pulverizer that the Fallen feared so much 20 years ago.
