40 to 50 men stood in place. Even the elderly seated nearby were getting worried.
“Huh? Why are they standing?”
“Yeah.”
Roi Lee and Ma Sang Bom did not sit down in any of the seats. Being accustomed to comfort made the body increasingly weak. It was necessary to work the body out everywhere. Therefore, it was normal for them to stand around in public transportation. The instructors and the practitioners stood alongside the ordinary people.
‘Are these guys mafia? The look in their eyes...’
‘It looks like their muscles are going to tear through their suits.’
‘I think they’re going to do something illegal.’
‘The police. I think it would be a good idea to call the police...’
When they arrived at a station, the subway doors opened.
“Huh, there’s empty seats?”
“That’s not very common. Maybe we’re lucky this time.”
The new passengers were delighted to see the empty seats, but then they saw the practitioners.
“....”
The passengers stood around quietly. They would not dare to sit down looking at the hard faces of the instructors and practitioners.
‘Why does it feel so bad to take a seat?’
‘I would rather sit down. Then I can be comfortable.’
More passengers were forced to be worried. However, the practitioners could not afford to care.
They needed to entertain Lee Hyun somehow!
They did wonder about the people standing for a bit, but they didn’t care so that was overlooked.
‘It must be some kind of fad to stand around in subways huh?’
‘Come to think of it, it’s good for their health.’
Nobody sat down in the subway until the group had reached their destination.
“Lee Hyun, over here!”
“This way!”
In front of the main entrance of the amusement park.
Hayan, Oh Dongman, Shin Hye Min, Lynn, and Choi Ji Hoon were waiting together.
“Hayan, what are you doing here?”
Lee Hyun asked weirdly. He noticed that there was something strange that he wasn't informed of.
Other than the abnormal behavior of the practitioners, Oh Dongman, and Jae Lynn, he did not expect to see Choi Ji Hoon.
Hayan opened her mouth and smiled.
“Oppa, It’s your birthday today!”
“Birthday?”
Lee Hyun began to calculate the date. It was indeed his birthday. Since he never celebrated his birthday, he had forgotten.
“Isn’t that why we’re here for your birthday?”
“Oppa has never gone to an amusement park before so...”
“I mean, amusement parks are exclusive to the wealthy...”
Jae Lynn, Oh Dongman, and Shin Hye Min were puzzled at Lee Hyun’s words.
‘When did amusement parks become reserved for the upper class?’
The instructors and the practitioners took it quite literally.
“In fact, you don't go to an amusement park unless you make a modest amount of money. It’s a big decision about whether or not to go.”
“A lone martial artist in an amusement park...”
“Isn’t it more than 5000 won a ride?”
The instructors spend a considerable amount of their money. For room and board in the dojo, they don’t make much money to spend. Therefore it was difficult for them to spend more than 10,000 to 20,000 won for something.
Lee Hyun sat down, since whenever he spent money on something, even going on rides, his heart broke a little.
“Keuheum! I prefer just relaxing at home.”
Hayan grabbed Lee Hyun’s arm and led him inside.
“I already have a free pass. This way you can play games and go on rides for free.”
Hayan already knew what to do with Lee Hyun. Since he disliked wasting time and money, with this he would not have an excuse not to go. The others followed after Lee Hyun in an instant.
Shin Hye Min asked them.
“What do you want to ride first?”
Jae Lynn didn’t waste any time.
“The Viking? Or the roller coasters?”
Roller coasters were high speed mechanisms that move along the rails in the air. It was the most popular rides.
Shin Hye Min was mentally tired from constantly being busy with the daily broadcast and secretly wanted to taste the thrill of the ride.
“Let’s go on the roller coaster first right?”
Ride the roller coaster first!
A considerable number of people visited the park in the earlier hours so thanks to this they can get their turn sooner.
Lee Hyun sat in the front with Jae Lynn, followed by Oh Dongman and Shin Hye Min, and Hayan and Choi Ji Hoon was paired together.
This was unavoidable because of the guy to girl ratio.
‘That’s great.’
Today was the first time that Ji Hoon had met Lee Hyun’s younger sister.
Not just hunting and exploring in Royal Road. It was different meeting her in reality.
In other words, he was attracted to her.
He had met with numerous women, but he had never felt emotions like this before.
‘Doing this and spending the rest of the day with her. Yeah, not bad.’
Ji Hoon had a bright smile.
Then he receive a light tap on his shoulder from Ma Sang Bom.
“Watch your back.”
“What?”
“Recognize who that is first...”
The horror hit Ji Hoon in the face.
“Hooo hoo hoo.”
At this Roi Lee smiled.
The practitioners did not try to get close to Hayan, since it risked their lives.
To them, Ji Hoon seemed pretty cool.
Then the roller coaster went up to the top and when it came down Oh Dongman, Shin Hye Min, Jae Lynn, Hayan, and Ji Hoon all began screaming.
“Kyaaaah!”
“Wheee!”
Lee Hyun and the practitioners were more blase about it.
‘It was really scary when I was sculpting Bingryong's head.’
Sculpting chunks of ice hundred of meters high and hanging on a single wire. The body hangs there, with the wind constantly interfering. Compared to that experience, sitting here could be thought of as medicine.
The instructors were also calm.
“The angle needs to be steeper...”
“If we fell from here, even in the worst situation we could be okay if you give up the legs.”
“We can reduce the falling speed by rotating the body a few times to diminish the force.”
“Can we jump off from here?”
Talking about such things was scary in its own way.
Thanks to that, a few people were screaming because of the bizarre roller coaster ride!
‘What on earth are you?’
The people in charge of the rides wondered.
On the Viking, the same thing happened.
Lee Hyun and the practitioners sat still doing nothing. Same as the first ride without any change.
‘Oh this isn’t worth my money! Since I’m not using money, I need to enjoy this.’
But Lee Hyun still looked angry.
Eventually they gave up on the longer rides.
“If he’s not scared of the rides then we have to go on something else.”
Jae Lynn said unfortunately.
It was a long way from Lee Hyun and the practitioners to enjoy the thrill and suspense of the amusement park.
Then Oh Dongman had an idea.
“Instead of going on the rides...what if we go to the zoo?”
Hayan’s eyes twinkled in expectation.
“The zoo?”
“Yes, this place is very big but so is the zoo. Wouldn’t it be more fun than sitting in a wheel as it spins?”
“Undoubtedly.”
So, changing their goals, the group decided to go to the zoo this time.
