Chapter 19: CHAPTER 18 – Traveling’s club freshman orientation (Part 3)

I woke up on Saturday, Thursday and Friday were normal days, classes in the morning and free time in the afternoon. The last two days Olivia had been calm, that was the only surprise. While I didn’t go to the training center on Thursday, I did go yesterday, only to confirm that she wouldn’t bother me.

When I got there, it was honestly a surprise. She was there, on the floor, widespread, like she was totally dead. But sadly, she wasn’t. The Crazy Girl was still alive, just tired. Really tired. Seems like this time she didn’t make it to the bench before falling on the floor.

Also, on Thursday, Hajin and I received a text from the Traveling club, which would have a travel tomorrow for a freshman’s orientation of sorts. While Hajin also had to go to an Academic’s club orientation yesterday. Hope it all went well. Well, it probably was the same as in the novel, I haven’t meddled too much with him or Yoo Yeonha, at least not enough to change how he approach her.

With all that say. I was currently laying widespread on the comfy couch. With a sprite on one hand, a bag of chips on my stomach and the other hand going from and to the bag and my mouth, while I was thoughtlessly looking to the ceiling.

{So… Tomorrow huh…}

Tomorrow was the day I was going to meet my first Djinn. Well, that is only if choose to go to the museum. Honestly, I don’t want to. Not for being afraid. But because it is also an important point for Hajin and Chae Nayun, even with Kim Suho.

And really, there would be other monsters outside, with hundreds of people hurt and some deaths even. I would much more helping outside than inside.

Of course, that is if you consider this as a real world, and not just a novel’s world. Which is my case. Again, I’ve seen a lot to finally stop thinking as this just as fiction come to life. Though Hajin probably thinks differently for the moments.

{Well, I’ll see tomorrow how all of it goes. After all, I don’t even know who my partner would be. Also. If I plan to help, I should be as secretive as possible. And that’s when you come in}-I think as I put the sprite in the table and reach for a mask that’s also on the table right on top of my laptop.

The design is pretty simple, really, it looks kind of like a demonic skull with horns, but only the upper face and the cheeks.

I liked the design, and it covered almost all of my face, excepting the mouth. It was of a dark red color, almost blackish, with white lines decorating under and between the eyes, all the way up to a sun’s contour on the middle of the two horns, where the forehead is.

Looking at it, I started thinking about how and where would I change my clothes. After all. I planned on going with my cadet uniform, so later my normal clothes won’t attract any attention.

If I were in my normal state, I could simply use some equipment magic. But I did let him restrict the number of magics I could use. I mean… I could somehow bypass this limitation while using some fire or lighting attribute magic to “arm” myself. It’s not like there isn’t anything.

But it would be a stretch, and I would need to prepare a lot for just a one-use magic trick. Also, my cadet uniform would be totally destroyed in the process thanks to either the fire or the lighting, as it isn’t putting armor over it, but completely replacing it.

“What a pain in the ass… Well, in the worst case, I just need to drop whoever is with me and leave somewhere I can change without anyone looking. Fuck. Superman had it easier with spandex. He just had to use it down his clothes and wear everything else off to ‘transform’.”

While thinking about how to change my clothes, I receive a text in my smartwatch.

{Hmmm? Who is it?}

I glance at the smartwatch, and see that it is Hajin who texted me.

[Kim Hajin: Hey, are you ready for tomorrow?]

[Cristopher: I’m on it, what about you?]

[Kim Hajin: Same. Well, almost, I don’t really know what to prepare. I’m just taking my cadet uniform and a cross bag with my gun…]

[Cristopher: Dude… That’s like going naked for you… At least prepare something in case you have to fight the Djinn.]

[Kim Hajin: Why would I do that? Let Kim Suho and Chae Nayun do the fight.]

[Cristopher: See. This is what I meant. DO THE IMPOSSIBLE, not just the best, or what you consider best…]

[Kim Hajin: I can’t win against a Djinn, I’m not strong enough.]

[Cristopher: But you have a powerful authority called Setting Intervention, can’t you make something with that? At least just in case something goes wrong.]

[Kim Hajin: Well… I could… I’ll see what occurs to me. You’re going to the museum?]

[Cristopher: Nah, I’ll leave that place to you. If what you told me is true, a lot of monsters would be outside and in the vicinities of the museum, right?]

[Kim Hajin: Right. What with it?]

[Cristopher: I’ll help outside. With the monsters I mean.]

[Kim Hajin: Are you going to fight?]

[Cristopher: Precisely. I’ll try to keep the injuries at minimum, and also prevent as many deaths as I can.]

[Kim Hajin: Aren’t you afraid of people discovering you? You said you wanted to keep a low profile.]

[Cristopher: Don’t worry. I have a plan. I’ll use a mask and change my cadet uniform.]

[Kim Hajin: … What are you? Some kind of superhero who has to changes to a secret identity or something?]

[Cristopher: Shut up dude. I’m not risking it. And you shouldn’t either, try to find some way in which you can fight the damned Djinn tomorrow just in case.]

[Kim Hajin: Fine, fine, I’ll see what I can do.]

[Cristopher: You better do it. Or we’ll have to talk seriously.]

[Kim Hajin: What are you? My mom?]

[Cristopher: Won’t be as lenient as your mother probably would. Also, I have more experience in this kind of things.]

[Kim Hajin: ???]

[Cristopher: What?]

[Kim Hajin: What do you mean with more experience?]

[Cristopher: Look. It doesn’t matter. Just know that I’ve been through a lot of weird shit, and when I tell you that you need to prepare your ass for anything going south, you fucking do it. ‘Kay?]

[Kim Hajin: Fine, fine. Hope you tell me your story some time.]

[Cristopher: Maybe I will. Depends on how I’m feeling about it. See you. I need to prepare some stuff for tomorrow.]

[Kim Hajin: Ok. See you tomorrow.]

After finishing my conversation with Hajin, I sit up on the coach, put the mask again on the table and turn on the laptop.

“First thing I tell him is to prepare, and last thing he does is to actually do it… Fuck man. That was his problem in the novel, he never prepared shit and just went thoughtless. At least if he had some power, it would be understandable, but depending only on luck… Shit, I would be death long ago. Not that it would be a bad thing, but for fuck’s sake, it’s not that hard to prepare for something you already know will happen.”

After I see the laptop home screen, I look for my interface. Specifically, at where my name is.

{… It seems it has to do something with my intervention in this world.}
