| 8 | David: He vivido en el extranjero durante mucho tiempo, así que no estoy muy familiarizado con la cultura coreana. Pero cuando hay algo que celebrar, ¿no es de buena educación entre vecinos (rankers) compartir pasteles de arroz y saludarse?

| 4 | Pájaro Blanco: No es simple cortesía, son buenos modales.

| 8 | David: Shang―― Por favor, interprétame eso, cabeza hueca.

| 8 | David: Oye, ¿vas a seguir sin decir nada sobre ser el verdadero número 1? Intentemos ser amigos, ¿de acuerdo?

| 5 | Bambi: Averigualo en otro lado. Será difícil ver a Zio por un tiempo.

| 6 | LateNightSnackKing: ¿Cuál es tu problema? Actúas como si lo supieras todo, pero ¿eres siquiera amigo de Zio?

| 6 | LateNightSnackKing: ???

| 6 | LateNightSnackKing: Dios mío, este chico loco me está ignorando y diciendo tonterías; ¿qué demonios?

| 8 | David: Ugh, idiota, ¿para qué molestarse? Siempre haciendo el ridículo.

| 12 | Imaginación: Todos lo saben, pero la razón por la que solo una persona nunca lo sabrá jamás…

| 15 | Sam: ¡Atención! Por favor, deja de hablar. Por favor.

| 20 | Renovación de la Certificación Pública: ¡Líder del equipo, Shikyun! La semana de capacitación terminó antes de lo previsto. ¿Se realizará el nuevo registro de cazadores en la fecha fijada como antes? Por favor, contáctame para confirmarlo.

| 8 | David: Ah, no cambies la fecha, solo ajusta un poco el horario. Una semana para la educación obligatoria es demasiado corta.

| 25 | Navidad: Me recuerda a los viejos tiempos. Los recién llegados tienen suerte, aprenden cosas nuevas y hacen nuevos amigos… Es como los oficinistas que extrañan la vida escolar.

| 3 | Alpha: Es cierto. En marzo, un nuevo comienzo, florecen las flores y brotan las tormentas. También es el punto de partida tradicional del año académico ^^ Vean Los Herederos ^^~ Es una obra maestra atemporal.

| 25 | Navidad: ;;;;; ¿Por qué la conversación siempre se convierte en un drama otra vez? Y siempre con Los Herederos;;

| 3 | Alpha: Al ver la conversación, me recuerda a algo. Si no te gusta, cambia tu nombre^^~*

Marzo, cuando florecen las flores. Un nuevo tutorial. Un nuevo semestre. La primavera trae consigo nuevos y emocionantes comienzos.

Tras el cuadragésimo tutorial, cuando está a punto de comenzar el entrenamiento obligatorio para los novatos antes de la inscripción como cazadores, los recién llegados se reúnen en el campo de entrenamiento con nerviosa expectación.

Incluso en la prestigiosa sede principal de Optimus Prime, en el mundo de los exámenes de ingreso, están surgiendo nuevas conexiones en la clase especial de gestión para aspirantes a escuelas de arte.

“Esto es un secreto… ¿Conoces a ‘Zio’? Es mi hermano.”

‘¿Qué?’

“Como es un verdadero secreto, no debes contárselo a nadie. ¿Entendido?”

¿Por qué me cuentas esto en nuestra primera reunión…?

El primer día de clase, el tutor solo entrega los formularios de salida anticipada si existe una razón válida.

Gyeon Jioh escribe en la hoja en blanco con el rostro inexpresivo. Solicita la baja anticipada por los siguientes motivos…

[Motivo: Transición de género forzada por mi pareja]

✧

“At this rate, the whole nation will end up with the same family register. Everyone keep saying “My brother is Zio”, and “My sister is Zio” too.”

“Oppa, what are you looking at?”

“Just internet comments. Look at this. Impersonation is on another level. Oh, it’s chaos everywhere. Ah, what a waste to have such a big incident while stuck in the training camp. Damn.”

“That’s true. I heard from my friends that it’s almost like winning the World Cup outside. Festivals are held every day on the Han River. I’m jealous…”

“That’s understandable. Even if they just reclaimed the throne, they became not just 1st nationally, but world number one.”

“The timing is amazing too. How did it coincide exactly with the end of the tutorial.”

“Our Majesty knows drama. It’s like a movie, isn’t it? It’s not like they doesn’t go for the easy wins.”

“Uh, I was curious about what hunters talk about on the intranet, but it turns out people are the same everywhere. Just playing around with jokes.”

“Oh, what! Intranet? Can we also access that?”

“Just haven’t registered to it yet. We are awakened now too. Some features are locked, but there’s no problem with the access itself.”

People getting up in a hurry seemed eager to take a look. Thanks to the flexible training schedule, there was enough leisure time.

This place is the ‘Preparatory Awakening Adaptation Training Institution’ in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province.

It was commonly referred to as the training camp or the preparatory institution, but most people simply called it ‘Hwaseong.’

It is a national institution under The Center but operates jointly with the association. It was established about 10 years ago. It all started with the ‘Nightmarish March.’

At that time, people who keenly felt the need to control the awakened due to an unfortunate incident began to throw around idea.

The newly inaugurated government, carrying the full support of the people, promptly pushed for the ‘mandatory pre-awakening education,’ which resulted in a special law.

As a result, a special law was enacted that states that prospective awakeners over the age of 14 can only be ‘registered’ if they have a record of completing a training institution.

There were two ways for an awakened to officially register with the Babel system.

Enter the Babel Tower.

Or make contact with the stone of Babel.

However, the [Stone of Babel], which serves as the base for the rating measurement device, is a highly intricate high-grade magical substance. Since it cannot be handled by any random individuals, it’s a no no.

So, the only remaining option was the tower…

As soon as the special law was passed, the government quickly began thorough supervision of all routes leading to the entrance of the Babel Tower.

‘What kind of human rights violation is this in the 21st century? Are you guys our mother?’ Some awakened individuals resisted vehemently for some time.

But, living in Korean Soil, they wouldn’t dare to go against the public sentiment of applauding the replaced government which was doing a great job.

Therefore, at present, after the tutorial ends, it was quite natural for the newly awakened to be guided by the government to Hwaseong.

“Honghae, aren’t you going?”

“I’ll eat a bit more. The food is too delicious… The facilities here seem really good too. Honestly, when I read the reviews, I thought it was all lies.”

“What’s so good about it? If you bring in national talents, and you don’t even do this much, you should close down the place. Stop acting like you’re from the countryside.”

“I-im not from the countryside.”

“Oh, sorry, sorry. People from the countryside are sensitive to the word ‘countryside,’ really. Haha. Where are you from again? Ul… Ulleungdo! Right!”

“…I’m from Ulsan.”

“Isn’t it somewhat similar? Must be nice to be close with the sea and good scenery.”

‘This ignorant city guy… ’

With a messy hair and thick square glasses, his glare were not clearly visible.

Honghae, an 18-year-old high school student who came from Ulsan (male), tried to smile. It was his third day since entering Hwaseong. Friendship is ultimately a matter of luck.

Already, a friendship group had formed, and the possibility of making friends with others was low. Honghae looked at Choi Sungtaek on the opposite side with a gloomy feeling.

‘Everyone is becoming couples and making lifelong friends in Hwaseong, but why am I… ’

Even the dormitory, which was originally a basic double room, was currently being used alone. Having no roommate was probably because there was no one else in the training camp…

“That’s right. You’ll get a roommate”

“That’s right… what, What?! A roommate? My roommate?”

“Yeah. Someone in Building B caused a magical seizure, so they are being moved to a special building. The remaining person will probably be your match.

“Finally…!”

“Sure. It should be fine. Get along with other for once. If you get close, you can befriend this guy too.”

“Huh? Hyung, do you know who it is?”

“That guy. The top scorer in the tutorial.”

“Wait, isn’t it… B-baek Dohyun?!”

Honghae, who shouted with excitement, was surprised and covered his mouth.

Baek Dohyun and Na Joyeon, the 1st and 2nd place of the 40th tutorial, were sitting together. It might be a mistake, but it seemed like they were looking at his dirrection…

Stifling his surprise, Honghae lowered his voice for reassurance. “Is it true? Is it really Baek Dohyun?”

“Oh, yeah. Why do you look so surprised?”

“But it might be, it might be scary! He’s the all-time high scorer. They say he exceeded 30,000 points, the first in the history of the Babel Tower… I heard he also came out last from the [Heavenly Gate]”

After the tutorial ended, the move to the [Heavenly Gate], which was for the selection of the constellation, took varying amounts of time for everyone. Some took less than a second, while others took the whole day.

Whether someone had entered into a sacred covenant or not was a matter that remained unknown unless they disclosed it themselves, but if it took more than half a day, it was almost…

“Yeah, he probably got a great covenant. He must have a high grade. Kkeugh, it’s like a complete reset, a rebirth! Everyone will probably rush to recruit him.”

Choi Sungtaek, with his open mouth, began unraveling the rumors he had picked up from here and there.

They said that Baek Dohyun was originally an F-grade, that he recently brought a stray cat home and left it alone, and that he goes out with Na Joyeon, and so on.

‘Oh, I see… ’

Listening absentmindedly, Honghae suddenly raised his head. “What, what? What did you just say?”

“What did I say?”

“Something about the Silver Lion, and…”

Pushed aside by the almost unfamiliar vigor, Choi Sungtaek hesitated and reviewed what he had said. “Baek… Baek Dohyun might go to the Silver Lion…?”

“Tell me more!”

“…Since he has a connection with ‘Zio’, he might be brought to the Silver Lion…?”

Behind the glasses, his eyes changed. Demanding a detailed explanation, Choi Sungtaek continued hesitantly. “It’s just something going around on the internet. On the day Baek Dohyun emerged as a hero at Seolleung Station, I saw him catch someone, and considering the timing when Zio appeared, I calculated that it might be Zio Also… the Silver Lion is well known guild, after all.”

That’s right.

Almost the only connecting link.

It was widely known that the guild handled everything related to the activities of the Magical King externally.

Anyone who had delved even a little deeper into ‘Zio’ would know this story. So Honghae also…

“Wait a minute. But hey! Why are you so excited? You were scared just before, you punk.”

“Ah, sorry. I, I’m sorry. I was just surprised because the place I’m aiming for is also the Silver Lion…” Honghae pushed up his thick glasses. He seemed timid again. The deflated Choi Sungtaek muttered. What did I say again?

“You want to rival him? I told you. We’re not all equals. Can’t you tell just by looking? He’s at least an A-grade! It’s written in his face.”

“Ah…”

“As soon as we left Hwaseong, the scouters will line up and shouted, ‘Baek Dohyun! Baek Dohyun!’ Damn, lucky bastard.”

“…”

“Do you understand? Don’t be a fool. Instead of just getting angry, think about how to become friends with him. Probably, there will never be a day when they come to you first… Uh… huh? Uh… Uhm?”

Choi Sungtaek’s voice faltered.

Honghae raised his head under the shadow cast above him. And then…

“Hae. Honghae. Right?”

“Yes.”

“Nice to meet you. From today, I’m the person who will be your roommate.”

The face is still quite young, but the golden eyes hidden behind those thick glasses did not fade. One of the puzzle pieces of the world that had been reversed in the past. Golden Rule, Honghae.

Baek Dohyun extended his hand with a kind smile.

This time, he’s determined to properly guide this piece to his King before it falls into pitiful shattering pieces.

Para su querido pequeño rey.
