Chapter 12 (1/2)
It was clear that Hanho envied her item. Looking down at his item furtively, he smacked his lips and put on his hood.
On the other hand, Sungwoo didn’t experiment with the new skill <Bone Weapon Formation (basic)> because he had already used up all his mana to resurrect five skeletons.

“Let me test it later… For now, let’s get out of here.”

After killing the boss, they walked back to the first floor.

Around that time, the lobby on the first floor was dominated by silence. Although the main door was opened with the killing of the boss monster, nobody had gotten wind of it yet.
In particular, Jinsok was pacing up and down in the lobby. Although he said he was doing it on the pretext of defending the entrance to the cafe, he was fully ready to flee at any time.
“By the way…Jinsok…”
Right at that moment, Minsu, with his face turning white, went out of the cafe while holding a sword awkwardly.
“Ugh. What?”
“Is it really okay for us to keep staying here?”
“…”
Jinsok frowned at that question because he also had been listening to all kinds of complaints from the people stuck in the cafe.
“People are making a fuss, complaining that they should have followed Sungwoo to kill the boss monster. They say they should have listened to Sungwoo, arguing they should join him even now… Listening to them, I feel like…”
“Ah, damn it!”
When Jinsok blurted out foul words, Minsu shut his mouth. Jinsok’s face was turning red. By nature, he flew off the handle at even the slightest things, but he thought that he was restraining from doing so because he was an executive member of the student council.
“Son of bitch! These bastards are talking bullshit when I am trying my best to protect them.”

In fact, Jinsok was thinking of running away when something bad happened, but the moment he got upset, he no longer thought about it.
And he thought they were a bunch of ingrates who didn’t understand what was going on. After all, he could not hold back his anger and went back into the cafe, then became angry at them suddenly.
“Damn it! Hey, what the heck are you all complaining about?”
Alarmed by his angry tone, they were embarrassed.
“What the fuck. I can’t risk my life to protect you anymore. So, if you want to go out, just go ahead!”
Then one tall man stood up and asked, “Hey, what the heck are you talking about? Go where?”
“If you want to grumble about staying here, just get out of here. Go to the rooftop and be killed along with that damn bastard Sungwoo.”
“…Do you think this is your place?”
“I’m protecting you!”
“You are protecting us? The man who climbed to the rooftop is protecting us, not you!”
“You bet! Why are you angry with us? What did you do for us?”
“Please lower your voice… Don’t you know you are now putting us in jeopardy?”
As everybody complained about him, Jinsok finally lost his temper.
“Fuck. I’ve been trying to keep my temper in check since my high school days, but because of you dickheads…”
“What? Dickhead?”
“Yeah, dickhead! Come on and tell me. What? Sungwoo Yu? That bastard protecting you? That bastard went up to the rooftop and was killed! He was killed because he wanted to show off!’
“…”
“Why are you silent? Are you scared? Come over and tell me, you bastards! Why are you tight-lipped?”
At that moment, they were looking at somebody behind Jinsok.
“Why did you say I was killed? I’m alive!”
When Jinsok turned and caught his breath he was startled.
“Oh my god!”
Five skeletons were looking up at him, and Sungwoo was standing behind them.
“Did you wish I was killed?”
“…”
“Oh, you’re a real eyesore!”
Sungwoo walked toward the main door with long strides and flung it open.
