Saturday arrived before I noticed after spending the rest of Friday training.
[Traveling Club Announcement] — There will be a short trip on Saturday for freshman orientation.
The traveling club's orientation was today, and we planned to meet at the Cube portal station that connected to Seoul. I walked to the meeting place after packing my gun into my cross bag. Kim Suho, Yi Yeonghan, Chae Nayun, and Yoo Yeonha were already waiting there.
They seemed completely oblivious to my existence, but being with all of them still made me nervous. An unexpected incident would occur in Seoul today. This would be the story's first major incident. The club president arrived as I organized today's impending event in my head.
"Hello, I'm the club president, Oh Hanhyun. I didn't believe it when I saw so many applications, but... it's true. Who knew such amazing cadets would join?"
Oh Hanhyun had an average height and a gentle impression. He looked around while scratching his neck.
"First, I'll give a short introduction about the traveling club."
He bashfully smiled and took out a piece of paper from his pocket. He had prepared a speech. I described Oh Hanhyun as a timid person, so I wasn't too surprised.
"Cough. Once or twice a month, we will take a trip out of Cube to simply relax. Training during trips will be strictly forbidden. It's also why our club is nicknamed Healing Rain."
Cough. After clearing his throat once more, he put the paper away. What? That was it?
"Today, we'll take a short trip to Seoul for orientation."
From here on, things proceeded as I had written. The club members would pair up and visit Seoul together.
"We usually have a theme for each trip, but today will be an exception since it's orientation. We'll split into pairs."
Kim Suho would be paired with Chae Nayun and run into trouble at a museum. As for what trouble, I would experience it soon.
"Then we'll start by drawing lots."
Drawing lots was completely based on luck, but not for me. I could clearly see the contents with my gift, Observation and Reading. I pondered with a hand on my chin. Should I choose Kim Suho? Or Chae Nayun?
"I'll go first."
Yoo Yeonha stepped up. I watched her pull out a name and realized I had overlooked my own existence. Yoo Yeonha's lot contained my name.
"Kim Hajin."
My heart sank, but Yoo Yeonha's face remained unchanged. She calmly stared at me with her usual mask.
***
Thankfully, everything else remained unchanged. Kim Suho paired up with Chae Nayun and Yi Yeonghan paired up with the club president. After drawing lots, the members gathered in front of the portal.
Portals were cutting-edge technology utilizing magic science and engineering. With a height and width of 15 and 30 meters respectively, over 100 of these giant gates could be found throughout Korea. Traveling from Seoul to Busan took less than 3 seconds.
"Cadet Kim Hajin. Confirmed."
The portal operator handed us a seal that would resonate with the portal and teleport us to Seoul.
"Let's go."
The club president entered first. Then Kim Suho went through the swaying blue portal next, followed by Yi Yeonghan, Chae Nayun, and finally me.
