The flight time from Gimpo International Airport in Seoul to Jeju International Airport is about 1 hour and 10 minutes, but the time it took to get from the main gate of Eun Kwang High School to the first destination was not that long.

Even though the procedures were simplified and prepared in advance, considering the movement process of about 500 people, boarding procedures, and other unexpected situations, more time was needed.

The third-year class 0 students tried to enjoy this process as part of the trip, but they became increasingly sensitive as Jegal Jae-geol left his seat to issue tickets.

They wanted to enjoy every minute and second of their trip with Jegal Jae-geol, but they couldn't help but feel hurt when an important person was left out.

While Jegal Jae-geol and most of the teachers were away, some people without common sense and fear tried to roughly push the students of Class 0 and try to cut in line.

The crazy ones, led by Geum Chan-sol and Wang Chan-sol, naturally reacted sensitively.

“Let’s keep public morals. There are manners and order that must be observed in public places.”

“Right, wait your turn. Didn’t you learn how to stand in line?”

“You must have been old enough to not see us. You should be setting an example as an elder, but would you have intentionally done something so shameless and unsightly as cutting in line to us, who are much younger than you?”

Following Geum Chan-sol and Wang Chan-sol’s protests in an unpleasant tone, Yeon Ga-ram also pretended not to know and continued to lash out as if reciting lines from a play.

Usually, someone who cuts in line without thinking would back off at this point, but those who tried to get ahead of them were the real deal.

The one who tried to cut in line raised his voice instead.

“You should know how to yield to an adult. They say that young players are coming out all the time these days. How on earth were you educated? Tsk. You know who I am and are talking back to me!”

While the three were drawing aggro, the students of Class 0 who had been quietly turning on the app to call the airport security or staff stopped.

The other students who had been secretly cheering for Class 0 because they didn’t want to get caught, also started to think, ‘Ah, it’s over.’

The students who were especially quick-witted guessed that they would soon be in trouble.

Trying to pick a fight with Geumchanwangchan’s gang by mentioning education was no different from insulting their teacher, Jegaljaegeol.

The expressions on Geumchansol and Wangchansol’s faces disappeared for a moment, but soon they regained their innocent expressions.

It was the face they usually made when they caused trouble by taking advantage of their student status.

The two asked the children in their class.

“You asked if I knew who this person was, but does anyone know who this person is?”

“I don’t know.”

“I don’t know.”

“I don’t know who it is, but can I take a picture and search for it?”

“You don’t have to take a new picture. I have the body cam on.”

The reaction was different from what he had expected, and when he learned that the other side had obtained the video, the pickpocket hesitated.

Having committed many crimes in various places, Lee Ja-ja had suffered humiliation when his actions were recorded on a black box or body camera in his car.

He even got angry in return, saying that filming was illegal, but as long as it was not made public, used for profit, or caused sexual shame, and if the voices of the parties involved were recorded, it was not a problem.

“Hey, I searched and it didn’t work. I guess you don’t do outside activities?”

Just as celebrities try to avoid getting involved in disputes with ordinary people, players also try to avoid accidents.

Since the public and society usually take the side of ordinary people, who are considered weak, players often suffer injustice.

That’s why there were many cases where they did outrageous things when they found out that the other person was a player.

Before the special player law was established, this tendency was even stronger, so the older they were, the more they looked down on the players and acted like scapegoats.

Those who are picking on them now are the same.

However, they did not know that there were scapegoats among the players, and especially that the ones in front of them were the best scapegoats in the Silver Advertisement.

“I really don’t know, so let’s ask someone else!”

“Yeah! The airport is big and noisy, so I’ll have to ask loudly!”

“Someone who knows who this person is! Please tell us!”

As Class 0, Grade 3 raised their voices to find someone who could introduce them to the scapegoat, not only other airport users but also airport employees who were far away came over.

Then, the group that was trying to scapegoat together with them ran away.

Class 0, Grade 3 resisted with a red face, coughing, and cursing, but they could not hear what he was saying because it was buried in the voices of Class 0, Grade 3.

Soon, the real Jinsang defeated the fake Jinsang.

“Guys, let’s grow old gracefully.”

“We should age like Teacher Jegal.”

“Don’t talk to Teacher Jegal as if he’s old.”

When peace returned, the students of Class 0 became quiet again.

When they saw Jegal Jae-geol, who had returned just in time, the students of Class 0 became even more quiet.

When the teachers and the students who had been in charge of leading the group heard about the chaos, including Yeom Jun-yeol and Cheon Dong-ha, they touched their foreheads or sighed.

All of those who had returned after leaving were famous players, so everyone’s attention was focused on them.

As Heo Chae-ah watched the whole process, secretly cheering for Chan-sol and feeling relieved that things were settled before things got worse, she suddenly felt something strange. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

‘When the person who had cut in line earlier started a fight with Chan-sol, he recognized us as ‘player youth.’’

The Eun-gwang High School students who were currently waiting in line to check in were not wearing their school uniforms.

There were some students with mature appearances like Kwak Kyung-gu, but most of them looked their age, so it was easy to tell that they were students on a group field trip.

However, it was not easy to tell at a glance that they were students from the Player Specialized High School.

If there were well-known students like Jegal Jae-geol, Yeom Jun-yeol, and Cheon Dong-ha, it would have been different, but they were away.

Of course, there were other students who had conquered other worlds and had their names in the newspapers, but they were not famous enough to be recognized on the street.

‘I didn’t feel any special talent from that person. How did they recognize him when he wasn’t even a player?’

There were also students from other schools whose schedules overlapped at this airport, so it was impossible to conclude that it was Eun-gwang High School just because a group of students was gathered there.

The only possibility was that they had been keeping an eye on the well-known students since they were acting, and then deliberately tried to steal their place when they were away.

However, Heo Chae-ah had been monitoring the situation since the moment the dispute arose by activating her Insight skill, so she thought differently.

‘When I heard the group’s story, those people had just arrived at the airport and were rushing. I wasn’t watching them.’

Heo Chae-ah tried to listen to Jin Sang’s voice, who was cutting in line, by adding more power to her skill.

It was hard to hear because of the noise, but she knew that he had moved to the end of the line, so she was able to track him down quickly.

―I thought they would give in right away since they were player brats!

There weren’t many sentences that contained proper information because they were mixed with profanity.

They also {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} included aggressive words like, “Since they can’t raise their hands anyway, we have to go out strong and scare them,” and “We have to kill their spirit.”

It seemed like someone had given them passing advice as they were rushing.

It was an understandable explanation at this point, but Heo Chae-ah kept worrying about something.

“......Why are you using power?”

At that time, Gye-dam suddenly asked if she had sensed Heo Chae-ah’s supernatural power.

Gye-dam was still feeling bad even after taking motion sickness medicine, but after coughing a few times, she started wearing a mask.

Her bangs were long, and her expression was barely visible because she was wearing a mask, but she could tell that she wasn’t feeling well.

If Gye-dam could sense the supernatural power, it seemed like Heo Chae-ah had unknowingly increased her output.

Heo Chae-ah said as she put her supernatural power away.

“There was someone who picked on Chan-sol’s classmates, right? It bothered me a little.”

“That kind of thing happens everywhere.”

It was one of those supernatural powers, so it was full of sincerity, but Heo Chae-ah didn’t know about it, so she thought it was just a joke.

The atmosphere in Class 1, Grade 3 had been a little tense since the start of school.

Gye-dam was particularly tense, but Heo Chae-ah thought it was because graduation was just around the corner.

In fact, Gye-dam was just afraid because he was graduating and Nabal and because Yeom Jun-yeol and Cheon Dong-ha had exposed his past and true nature, but most of the students, including Heo Chae-ah, did not know this.

Heo Chae-ah lowered her voice a little and told Gye-dam, whom she considered a trustworthy classmate, what she had found out.

“I think someone told those people that we were players and encouraged them to cut in line. It’s strange that someone passing by gave advice to those who were just rushing. It was like they told Chan-sol that they could get their hands on him.”

Upon hearing that, Gye-dam opened her pitch-black eyes wide as if she had fallen asleep and looked around.

Heo Chae-ah also looked around, but she didn’t feel any discomfort.

It was just a scene of an airport where you could feel the excitement of the trip, with her classmates and teachers from Eun-gwang High School mixed in with the travelers.

Gye-dam must have seen the same thing, but her reaction was different.

“Pretend not to know.”

“Huh?”

“Just don’t get involved with that kind of thing.”

The advice itself of not getting involved with Jinsang was ordinary, but Gye-dam’s reaction was not ordinary.

The conversation was interrupted by the arrival of snacks.

The snacks were provided by the student council, and they were hamburgers with cheese sticks inside.

As soon as the student council members handed out the hamburgers and cola, Heo Chae-ah ate them right away, but Gye-dam declined them because she felt bad.

‘Idam, you seemed scared for some reason. There’s no need to be afraid of Jinsang at all.’

Contrary to Heo Chae-ah’s thoughts, Gye-dam wasn’t afraid of Jinsang.

Gye-dam, who had experienced all kinds of Jinsang, didn’t care about such a lowlife.

What Gye-dam felt was the malice behind it.

Since Gye-dam looked back on the past with Seong-woo's power, he has been thinking about Plumago.

Even though he thought about the game, most of it was about Andain.

'You tried to get on Dain's nerves by picking on small things.'

‘I tried to kill you by rooting you out!’

Gye-idam would foam at the mouth whenever Andain was treated unfairly, no matter how trivial the matter.

The underlings that the underlings had infiltrated Eun-gwang-go liked to play malicious pranks on the good guys.

So he could guess how trivial things the underlings of the underlings would do.

They liked things that were good if they didn’t work out, but if they did, they would gain.

This was a prank that would cause trouble from the beginning of the trip, ruining the students’ moods, and if things went well, it would ruin the students’ reputation and hold the teachers responsible.

‘They must have moved? Yes. They must have. They must have kept a few of them around us. They must be following us.’

Gye-idam hid his terrified face behind his mask.

However, there was something more frightening than the number of underlings to Gye-idam, so he couldn’t give up on this trip halfway.

Gye-I-Dam barely managed to move forward, recalling Sung-Si-Wan's message telling her to be careful and Eun-Ho's voice that she had heard in the middle of the night.

For Gye-I-Dam, there was nothing more frightening than those two things right now.

One was afraid of losing, and the other was just plain scary.
