Magic Academy | Ft. SinRin (EDITING)

II: Admiration

SinB's POV

Since I had no where else to go, I decided to go to the dance room instead. Well, who wouldn't? Dancing was my way of releasing stress. I danced since I was 8 so I guess I'm decent at it. I put on a random song and started dancing my heart out. Since I made a request to the principal, she let me have the whole dance room to myself and nobody usually walk pass this area so I think I'll be fine without anybody noticing me.

Third's POV

Yerin was at the music room having a meeting with the other S class people about a dungeon opening up at Jeju island and them having to go there to close the gates.

Dungeon: A dungeon is like a portal for monsters to cross over, into the human world. It can open up at anywhere at any time. There is approximately 1 month before the monsters step into the human world. To stop the monsters from coming to the human world, they must defeat the boss to close the gates. The gate closes in a week after the boss is defeated. If you do not escape the dungeon before the gate closes, nobody knows what will happen as nobody made it out alive after the gate closed up on them. Another way to close the gates are fulfilling requirements. Every dungeon has different requirements thus, you wouldn't know if you met the requirements to close the gates.

After the meeting, Yerin walked pass the dance rooms and heard a song being played. Being the curious kid she was, she walked very quietly and cautiously towards the source of music. She saw light rays shining beneath the door and guessed that it was where the song was being played from. She glanced through the small window only to see a girl facing the mirror while dancing. The girl was wearing a black crop top showing off her defined abdomen muscles and leggings showing her long lean legs. Yerin was in awe when she saw the girl's perfect body. But when she looked up, she could only see the girl she hated the most, Hwang SinB. According to Yerin, she doesn't precisely hate SinB. She dislike SinB for not standing up for herself. Truth to be told, she saw what exactly happened to SinB 3 years ago.

>Flashback<

  Yerin was walking home after a tiring day at school when she saw a crowd gathering. Since she was always a curious child, she squeezed through the crowd to see what the commotion was about. There, she saw SinB getting bashed by one of the popular girls. Yerin had a crush on SinB simply because SinB saved her once. SinB might not know it but what SinB said saved Yerin's life. To Yerin, SinB was her knight in shining armor. SinB doesn't know it but she was always there for Yerin when Yerin needed it the most. Because of that, she thought SinB would defend herself and stand up to those bullies. But Yerin thought wrong. SinB did nothing. She stood still and let the girls get physical with her. Her head hung low. Eyes darted on the floor. No tears, fears, nothing. Her eyes were empty and bleak. Her body in a slouching position. As if, she has given up on trying. She let herself get beaten, till crimson red blood oozes out from every part of her body. Bruises covering every surface area of her body. Blood stained clothes with rips here and there. It utterly destroyed Yerin's image for SinB. SinB always told Yerin to never give up. How ironic. Yerin wanted to help SinB. But she always hoped that SinB would stand up for herself. But no. There she was, lying lifelessly on the floor, looking up at the ceiling with no expression, nothing to express. Opaque eyes, blocking others from reading her thoughts and emotions. She looked so...broken. Yerin didn't say anything except for,

"I hate those who doesn't try to defend themselves."

Before walking away, broken hearted.

>End of Flashback<

Yerin was standing there for quite some time unknowingly. When she saw SinB was about to turn around, she quickly hid behind the wall away from the small window.

SinB's POV

My senses picked up a presence behind the wall outside the dance room,

"Come out. I know you are right outside the room. What are you doing here?" I shouted loudly for the person on the other end to hear.

Then I saw a head peaking out from the small window. To my surprise it was Yerin. She awkwardly scratched her not itchy nape before awkwardly saying,

"Hehehe...sorry for staring at you. Well...I was just curious about who was using the dance room since practically nobody uses it."

"It's not that nobody uses it. It is just an under rated art of distressing. Anyways, gotta pop. Potion class is starting soon." I said before packing up my stuffs and leaving the room when I remembered.

"Oh wait. I have no idea what you will be doing in here. But after you are done, please lock the room up and return the keys to me." I said before tossing the keys towards Yerin.

Then I went to the nearest restroom to wash up before heading off to potion class. On the way I saw Umji walking with her newly made friends, laughing while walking down the hallway to their next class.

"SinB! Watch out!" Umji shouted before pointing behind me.

As soon as I turned back, I saw a girl tumbling towards my direction. I took a step back and she stopped right at my feet. Talk about being lucky...I kneeled down, assessing her condition. A few broken ribs, bruises decorated all over her body and a swollen face. I reached over into my bag pack finding for a recovery potion before I carefully tilted her head and pour the potion into her mouth. She swallowed it and all her injuries recovered almost instantly.

"Wait...this isn't a normal recovery potion. A normal one takes about 10 minutes to fully heal all injuries, what is this potion?" The girl asked while grabbing my hand enthusiastically.

"...I bought it..."I lied. Well...that was a very bad lie since nobody actually knew how to make them.

"...Nobody actually found a way yet...as far as I know, you are the first one." The girl said, sounding serious.

"Well...Yeah you are right. I invented it." I replied.

"That's...That's so cool! Anyways, my name is Eunseo. Nice to meet you!" She said before eagerly shaking my hand.

"Hi. I'm... kind of late for my classes. See you when I see you." I said, awkwardly releasing my hand from hers before walking away for my class.
