The Novel's Extra (0-100)

Chapter 35 - Exam Period (3)

With exams starting next week, the Fitness Center was filled with cadets.

Haaap—! Yaaaap—! The spirited shouts coming from the sparring rooms pierced through the walls, while clashing of magic power created sharp sonic booms.

In the physical training room, cadets could be seen lifting 120kg dumbbells effortlessly.

I was also working out among such monsters. What I could do was pitiful compared to other cadets, but I was pouring out sweat and effort in my own way.

Wiiing—

"Uuk."

Using my smartwatch's vibration as an excuse, I put down the bar I was lifting. Dizziness immediately came over me. It seemed 130kg bench press was still too much.

I wiped my sweat off with a towel hanging around my neck and checked my smartwatch.

[The documents are ready... But are you really going to invest so much money in us?]

It was a message from Park Soohyuk.

Of the 500 million I earned from selling the ginseng, I bought stocks with 250 million and invested the rest into SH Agency. I knew SH Agency would become just as successful as Packhorse Master.

[Of course. I'll see you tomorrow.]

[Um... Why us?]

It seemed Park Soohyuk was quite confused, but I couldn't blame him. The current SH Agency was a tiny nameless company that had yet to accomplish anything.

[It's fun, growing bigger together. Don't you think it'll be nice to see each other grow?]

I wasn't investing in a company, but a person. That was how exceptional Park Soohyuk was. He was a future tycoon, jumping into this business without any connection and managing to achieve the world's most brilliant enterprise.

[Ah... Yes... Then I'll see you tomorrow with all the documents and contracts. Thank you once again.]

[No problem. See you then.]

After ending my conversation with Park Soohyuk, I lied down on the bench press once again. But immediately after I put my hands on the bar, my wrist vibrated once again.

Who was it now? When I looked at my smartwatch, I couldn't help but furrow my brows.

It was Yoo Yeonha.

[9]

I couldn't understand why she would suddenly message me, but the content of the message was even more mysterious. It was a single number. Did she press the wrong button?

"What's up with her?"

Since she didn't say anything else, I ignored it and put my hands back on the bar. Putting strength into my entire body, I lifted it up with regular breathing.

One, two, three, four... nine.

Nine. 9.

Suddenly, I thought of something.

"...Don't tell me, is this a rescue signal?"

**

Yoo Yeonha was currently detained in the penthouse room of Cube's second year dorm.

No matter how much of an elite Yoo Yeonha was, she couldn't do anything against a Djinn who was loved by Lilith. Yun Hyun easily subdued Yoo Yeonha before storing her in an extradimensional pocket and moving her here.

He couldn't show the meticulousness he usually did in hiding his tracks and Yoo Yeonha's struggle was surely caught on CCTV, but since he planned to leave Cube once this matter was finished, he didn't care.
