Chapter 380
Chapter 380
The plaza around the Tower of Growth was bustling with people.
Cadets, preparing themselves nervously ahead of entering the tower. Professors and staff, conducting final checks while guiding the cadets.
Today was the day for the first tower entry of the 122nd class of Siyarham.
“Are we really going to be okay...? It’s hard to feel at ease.”
[“Senior... In the Tower of Growth, even if you want to make a mistake, it’s hard to do so...”]
“I know that.”
Lee Jiyeon, arms crossed, let out a soft sigh. She acknowledged the words, but her expression didn’t convey that she truly understood.
Her eyes, filled with worry, occasionally lit up with slight relief, but then her lips would pout again... It was a bit uncomfortable to see such worry.
Lee Jiyeon’s distrust persisted all the way until the morning of the day.
She was so worried that she even left her spot in the third-year lineup to hover around me.
...Her actions caused some curious expressions from the people watching from a distance.
They were familiar faces. Third-year cadets, friends of Lee Jiyeon whom I had met during the last evaluation period.
Seeing their odd expressions, I rolled my eyes and casually asked.
[“Aren’t you going to stay with your friends?”]
“It’s fine. We’re in the same year, so we’ll end up talking for hours in the tower anyway.”
Lee Jiyeon shrugged nonchalantly. Even though the gazes around us were gathering, she didn’t seem to care.
Her casual demeanor made my expression shift slightly.
- Whooo…
- “Hayeul, don’t push yourself. Do well and come back.”
- “You, too, Hayeul. Work hard and come back safely.”
- Whooosh!
- “Saer, I’ll be rooting for you.”
- Thud.
- Whoooosh!
- Thud.
