I Became A Childhood Friend Of The Middle Boss 89

Chapter 89

Golden River Academy, Office of the Principal.

Sohye-ryul welcomed Kang Hanbyeol back, who returned after proving his skills.

Having received a report from Oh Seung-ah beforehand, she knew how he had performed in the artificial gate.

“I had some expectations, but I never thought he would single-handedly conquer the Gray Gate. I thought he would receive help from Oh Seung-ah in the middle. But to bring down a Rank 2 boss monster alone is impressive. He must have been under immense pressure from that monster’s presence…”

“At first, I was startled, but then I realized there was no reason for me to be. The mountains where I lived with the master had many stronger beings than that. Comparing him to them made me feel at ease, and the pressure weighing me down disappeared from the middle onwards.”

“…It seems battling a boss monster granted him resistance to pressure. Many hunters strive tirelessly to gain such resistance, but to acquire it after a single battle with a boss monster is remarkable.”

Sohye-ryul was purely amazed.

Curiosity sparkled in her yellow eyes, and her gaze roamed.

She leaned forward.

“Hmm…”

“…”

Sohye-ryul’s

After a while, the elevator stopped.

I stepped out into the corridor as the door opened.

I walked straight to my room.

That was when I met Yonghaerang.

“Hey! Dogyeonwoo! How have you been?”

“Yonghaerang? When did you arrive?”

“I got here about an hour ago… The estate is quite vast. Didn’t expect to get lost even after coming here!”

“Right, it’s totally something you would do.”

Whether he had just finished showering or not.

Yonghaerang had a damp towel around his neck, wearing thin clothes that exposed his arms and legs.

His muscles were always defined.

“His biceps are impressive.”

Even without flexing, there was no sagging under his arms.

His muscles were solid and bulging.

Thicker than my own arms.

If Yonghaerang flexed his arms, the difference would be even more apparent.

“…Jealous.”

Even though I didn’t neglect training, why weren’t my arms bulging.

The difference in physique was cruel.

I silently complained to myself.

“But why did you come out into the corridor? Where are you headed?”

“There’s a training facility here, so I thought I’d do some light training before bed. How about coming along?”

“I’m sorry, but I’m tired from being out and need to organize my things. Let’s do it together next time.”

“Ah, that’s a shame, but it can’t be helped. Are those things you bought with the kids?”

“Yeah. Quite a few, right?”

“Even though it seems like a lot… I don’t think I’ll be able to use them all even by the time I graduate.”

“Well, it just happened that way. You might end up like this soon too. You’ll realize you need more things for living alone than you think.”

“I feel the same looking at you. That’s why I prefer not to go out shopping. Training seems more beneficial to me.”

“What if you don’t go out to shop? Just live like this?”

Yongha might be capable of that.

Being on the top floor, the room was equipped with most things, so living there wasn’t inconvenient.

As if negating my thoughts.

“Why should I just live like this?”

“What? Then how should you live?”

Yongha replied casually.

“In this day and age, with the world being what it is. You can easily live through the internet without going outside to shop, right?”

“….”

“There are online shopping malls that deliver the next day upon ordering… Oh, I heard people in the Academy City mostly use Akamarket. It might be better to try ordering from there.”

“That’s not it.”

“Huh? What did you say? Sorry, I couldn’t hear you well, can you repeat?”

“You’re not that kind of character.”

“What are you talking about?”

Yongha looked puzzled.

I regretted inwardly.

“Gosh, if I knew this would happen, I would’ve just ordered online.”

Why didn’t I think of that?

Most of all, it hurt my pride that Yongha didn’t even think of a thought that crossed my mind for a moment.
