The professor said forcibly.
“A space where people can achieve their dreams. Future lessons will be on real life and virtual reality in combination.”
After the lecture, the students left the classroom one after another.
“Oh I’m hungry.”
“Lets go quickly to get food. I don’t wanna be late and wait in line. What’ll you do afterward?”
“The library?”
“I have club activities.”
Other students were coming into class as it changes course. Lee Hyun then know it was the right time to leave.
Even though they were in the same department, nobody talked to Lee Hyun. He was essentially labeled as a returnee. In clothes that way past its prime, while bearing a face they didn’t recognize, he was easily ignored.
‘I got to eat lunch.’
Lee Hyun slowly moved alone.
Carrying his homemade lunch to the campus lawn!
Instead of being like the other who came and went to the cafeteria to get their lunch.
A picnic like relaxing tone. Some were eating in a relaxed mood, while others lying on the lawn to sleep.
College student romantic and atmosphere situation!
Many smiles on the faces of the students who were in the shades.
Lee Hyun, too, took out a lunch box to eat.
Ugokugok. (eating)
Radish kimchi and white rice!
A simple but tasty meal.
‘The kimchi hadn’t been soaked well.’
Nowadays, eating kimchi sold by the market was popular.
‘But at least the ingredients genuine.’
Lee Hyun was ok with the price because it’d be much more expensive if he was to soak the kimchi by himself.
Meanwhile, a brisk wind blew.
The students chatter and laughter from all around. Spring is coming.
‘Sleepy.’
After the meal, he let out a stretch and yawns followed.
Two hours till next lecture!
He could go to the library but there was no particular book he needed.
‘There’s no internet at times like these.’
He’s now on an adventure in the vampire’s kingdom, so sooner or later he’ll have to check on the prices of the items.
‘Maybe it’s telling me to take a nap?’
Lying on the grass as Lee Hyun closed his eyes.
Though the wind was a bit chilly, it was a beautiful sunny day and the weather was great for a nap.
He closed his eyes, and in a short while, he drifted off.
Then, after finishing off their meals in the cafeteria, the students from the Virtual Reality department came out and passed by him.
“Hey, is that not the Seonbae?”
“Yea, looks like him. Seems like he ate here.”
“That must be right. But look at that.”
“Eating and sleeping……”
“Ugh, so embarrassing!”
The students increased their paces to pass Lee Hyun quickly.
He was a sample of laziness and idleness.
Lee Hyun, more than before, was shunned by the students.
His afternoon course was about the Technological aspect of Virtual Reality. And he saw some familiar faces.
Choi Sang-Jun, Min Sura, and Lee Yu-Chong who were taking similar classes.
“Hey.”
When Lee Hyun approached them, their faces stricken.
“Ah, Hello!”
“……”
“Did you want to sit here?”
“Is it alright?”
“We’ll go to the back seat.”
“You don’t have to. I’ll go back there.”
“No no. We’ll do it.”
They deliberately rose from the front seat and moved to the back.
Similar with the two that showed up afterward. They were students of the martial art department, so it was even more shocking. At first, they spoke in low form(less honorific) until he looked up; then it became unbearable for them too look at him straight in the eyes.
There were many, but Lee Hyun sat alone.
Lecture time was approaching and students continued to pour in, but no one sat next to Lee Hyun. Most of the reason why was due to the two he faced earlier, everyone else simply avoided him in fear of the unknown.
Ddiriririri.
Four minutes until the lecture officially began, Lee Hyun heard the phone rang.
He purchased an old and used phone to keep in touch with his sister while in college.
The three dimensional images that was so common when one calls did not show up, nor was this able to get online due to it being a discontinued antique phone.
Through the phone, a cheerful voice of Shin Hye-Min came over.
- Hello, Lee Hyun nim.

During the KMC media Planning Committee.
Everyone who was involved in broadcasting Royal Road was to find new item. Trends were quickly becoming out-of-fashion; no matter how fresh the material was, after a week or so, the committee would discard said material.
“How is it going with the other day’s precipitated proboscidean analysis?”
“Will be done before noon tomorrow.”
“Too late! You’re working on that overtime and get it finish before today end at all costs. Don’t even think about leaving your office until it’s done!”
“Keoheok!”
Director Kang Han-Seop was pushing the employees.
Broadcasting was the only thing, but it was busy every day.
KMC was growing as a media broadcaster, so one pretty much was expected to be working all day without sleep.
“Nowadays, there is an increase of beginners playing, so what do you think about programs directed at them?”
