[Time remaining until the sage-only door appears 167:59:59]
“A door for the sage? Is it similar to a one-person door?”
Seeing that the number decreased by 1 every second from 168, it seemed that the sage-only door appeared after 168 hours, exactly one week.
“I have no intention of telling you what it has to do with it.”
Then, if Seonghyeon died, I don’t know why he was so uncooperative, but he was trying to comfort himself because he was trying to make himself stronger.
“Is there any way to prepare for it?”
Fortunately, though, it was a week later, and after the equipment requested by the academy came out, he would be able to enter the door.
“For the next week, let me subdue at the gate alone.”
With the ability of the stigmata, he was able to take a huge advantage in the battle itself, and no matter what happened, he was able to avoid all situations by using healing.
“Son, the food is ready. Eat quickly.”
“yes.”
Seong-hyeon, who had organized her plans, came out of the room with a slightly more relaxed expression than when she first returned home.
“Is it worth going to the academy these days?”
“sure. I have friends that I go to with, and please treat me well as a teacher.”
Strictly speaking, the only reason the homeroom teacher treats Seong-hyeon well was because of his career, but Seong-hyeon was well aware of the ugly face behind the teacher’s mask, so he had no intention of being swayed.
Rather, you just use it.
“I’m glad…”
The mother’s expression seemed more comfortable.
Until recently, ignorance was considered good news because Sung-hyun did not talk about how he was in the first semester or what the situation was.
However, Seonghyun’s recently changed expression and atmosphere were telling the story instead.
It was so hard back then, and that was the only thing I had to endure.
“why? What did you put on my face?”
“What should I do to bury my son’s face? Nothing. Come on, eat.”
I could have known what had happened or what had happened, but my mother didn’t want to.
All of these things are now a thing of the past and will never happen in the future.
“When is Hyein coming? You seem to be coming home late these days.”
At Seong-hyeon’s question, the mother showed a pretty satisfied smile.
He didn’t seem very interested, but he seemed to be quite worried about him as an older brother.
“I started a new school a few days ago.”
“A school? It would be expensive…”
“Don’t worry. The association and the academy both said they wanted to apply, so I sent it to the most famous place without spending a penny.”
The mother’s expression was clear.
A look like he’s looking at his handsome son.
“My mom also has some hobbies. Hyein is a new academy, so she comes home late, and I also have a lot of work to do at the academy, so I’m going to be late, but you’re bored.”
“It’s boring, but watching a drama these days, time goes by so quickly. What time did you think my son came so early?”
Clearly, my mother had a much more relaxed and happy expression than before.
“You have to exercise. Oh, when Hyein comes, I’ll stop exercising together.”
“Wow, exercise?”
It seemed like he didn’t like sports, but Sunghyun had no intention of making concessions this time.
“It’s right in front of me, so when Hyein comes, shall I go right away?”
“Hey, Hyein is tired too…”
“The more you do that, the more you need to exercise.”
“…”
She was a mother who was usually waiting for her daughter to come, but strangely, she thought that it might be a little later today.
But ironically, Hyein was already pressing the house password, apparently because it was over quickly.
“If Hyein eats, she eats everything, and if she doesn’t, she goes right away.”
“That, yes…”
The mother nodded her head with a confused expression, as it was nothing else and she was talking about her daughter and her health.
“Daughter, are you here?”
“yes? Ah, yes…”
“rice is?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Hyein went straight to her room, and Seonghyeon was watching it carefully.
‘What’s going on?’
It was completely different from Hyein’s usual appearance.
It was fine until a few days ago, but when I checked it today, I couldn’t find the bright side that I usually show.
“Is the kid a teenager… these days, he doesn’t try to speak well.”
“okay…? From when?”
“It was like that a few days ago. Even if I ask you what’s going on, you don’t say anything…”
Seonghyeon quickly emptied the rice and headed to Hyein’s room.
“Hey…”
I was about to knock on the door, but I heard a faint sob from inside.
“…”
It was not something that could be easily overlooked.
Besides, since I didn’t tell my mother, of course, it wasn’t easy to tell.
‘Did I say it was in that state a few days ago?’
“What do you think?”
As her mother approached Hye-in’s room and said, Seong-hyeon said it was okay, leading her to the other side.
“You know your mother? When you’re a teenager like this, you have to take it slow.”
“Yeah… yes…”
“It will be fine in a few days. Do not worry.”
The mother’s complexion wasn’t very good, but the trusty son seemed to agree when he said this.
“By the way, what kind of school is it? If the academy and the association said they would apply for it, it seems like a pretty good place.”
“I thought about it a bit, but I thought the association would be fine, so I decided to go to the one that the association applied for.”
“Aha…”
Sung-hyun thought about why his younger brother was like that, but no matter how much he thought about it, there was only one conclusion.
The academy that started a few days ago, and the appearance of the younger brother that changed at the same time.
‘The association…does such a thing?’
Nothing had been revealed yet, but Sunghyun was certain.
However, it was questionable why the organization supported by the association created this situation.
“Then, are you going to exercise next time…?”

My mother looked at Sung-hyun if she was worried about exercising, and Sung-hyun answered with a smirk.
“Yes, next time.”
Seong-hyeon returned to the room and immediately called In-hwan and Sang-yeon.
Originally, I was supposed to start subjugating the gate tomorrow, but something more important than that happened, so I couldn’t go.
He hung up the phone saying that In-hwan and Sang-yeon were both convinced that it was a family matter and hoped it would be resolved.
“I’m going to go to the association after a long time.”
He had no intention of seizing power with the power he had now.
Seonghyeon’s purpose was to completely exterminate the beasts.
However, if the family suffered damage like this, it was a different story back then.
The next day, Seong-hyeon went to the association without contacting the association on purpose.
The employees who recognized Seong-hyeon at the entrance quickly disappeared somewhere with a surprised expression, and not long afterward, the secretary who had guided him the other day appeared.
“What did you come here for? Now, the president and vice president of the association have been away for a while.”
The secretary with a hard expression answered in a voice that did not contain much emotion, and Sung-hyun asked with an expressionless expression as well.
“I came here to find out.”
“Follow me.”
When I followed Basser into the room, the secretary offered a cup of tea in front of Seong-hyeon and said,
“What you said to me means that I can tell you, right?”
“It’s simple. A few days ago, the association provided educational support to my younger brother.”
“Ah, that’s what you mean. you’re right.”
“It’s about that. Where is the academy and who is the instructor?”
The secretary looked at Seonghyeon with puzzled eyes for a moment.
It’s not someone else’s, it’s my younger brother’s education, but I was curious as to why I was asking the association for that information, not the younger brother being educated.
“All right.”
But the secretary erased all doubts.
What Seonghyeon wants right now is an answer to the question.
Because you wouldn’t want to go back to another question.
“The language is a private academy, but it is conducted in a tutoring manner.”
The secretary delivered to Seong-hyeon the location, method, time, and who taught the tutoring session in detail, without omission.
“Any more questions?”
“This is enough. thank you.”
Sung-hyun greeted lightly and left the association immediately.
The reason Sunghyun came to the association today was simple.
In fact, it was a question I could ask my mother, but Seong-hyun came to the association on purpose.
From the association’s point of view, Seong-hyeon would take the time to ask the family and ask questions, and then they would move to find out on their own.
It was an opportunity for the association.
When Seong-hyun confirmed something today, if the situation was an undesirable situation, I hoped that the association would show movement.
It seemed like it could be forgiven.
“Because you said that class starts in the evening…”
Until then, contemplating how to pass the time, there was nothing as effective as subjugation, so Seonghyeon headed straight to the nearby open door.
After finishing school, Hyein went straight to tutoring.
‘I don’t want to go…’
It was no ordinary whining.
The insulting remarks from the beginning of the tutoring to the end made each day exhausting.
But I couldn’t help but go.
According to the association, it was a process that increased the possibility of opening up one’s abilities at the age of 20, and it was also an opportunity to learn many other things besides this.
When Hyein arrived at the building where the tutoring would be held, she took a deep breath and entered the building.
“hello…”
“Oh, is our Hyein here? Come on, sit down.”
A middle-aged man with a smirk naturally placed his hand on Hye-in’s shoulder and guided him to the seat.
“So, have you thought about it?”
“Yes Yes?”
“Did you forget? Well… I’ll say it again. Hyein must know that I’m famous on this floor. Not long! Wait, just a minute, if you spend time with me, you’ll get a good class from them, right?”
“That, that…”
“Hey, don’t be too expensive. It’s a common thing on this floor.”
Hyein trembled for a moment at the creepy touch she felt through her hair.
“Haha, the trembling figure is so cute, isn’t it? Can I get an answer tomorrow?”
“Kyo, Professor, I, I…”
“Hey, if you answer too quickly, there’s no going back. I’ll give you time until tomorrow, so think slowly. With only a slight deviation… a brilliant future awaits.”
The professor sat close to Hye-in and opened the book.
“Should I have a class? The professor’s voice isn’t very loud, so can you just stay by my side today?”
However, today was relatively less, so Hyein bit her lower lip and tried to concentrate on the class.
But then, a knock was heard from outside.
“Well? Who is it? I don’t like being interrupted in class…”
The professor seemed to be quite offended by the interruption of the time alone, so he wrinkled his forehead and headed towards the door.
“who are you? I am in class now. And how did you know?”
But returning to the professor’s question was not an answer.
Another knock was heard.
