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.
***
There was a giraffe.
Kids that were barely six years old were watching the giraffes.
A kindergarten group had come to watch.
Small and cute boys shouted.
“Look, it’s a giraffe!”
“It looks so cool.”
The pretty young girls smiled with bright eyes.
“It’s beautiful.”
“The animals are so cute. Whoa! Look at it’s long neck!”
It was a harmonious sight.
They were peacefully walking around with the giraffes.
Then an insidious voice came from behind!!
“Giraffes, are they tasty?”
“It may be uncomfortable since we may need to cook it for a long time.”
“But with some salt, it may be quite delicious to eat. The other day, I was training in Africa. I was so hungry. If I could have caught a lion, then I would have eaten it.”
“Do you feel comfortable eating herbivorous animals?”
“We can come and get it at night...”
Sseueuk!
The instructors and the practitioners!
They were looking at the giraffes while they talked.
“Waaaa oooooohh aaahhhh!”
This made the kids cry.
The completely innocent area was completely destroyed by them.
The instructors and the practitioners had to go to the other side.
Camels and ponies.
“Hey, what do these guys taste like?”
“I think I’ll have fun choosing what to eat.”
“It may be a good idea to bake and eat it.”
They looked at the polar bear while blatantly showing off their distasteful appetite.
“Well, look at him.”
“Wow, looking at it makes my mouth water”
“Gallbladders and feet...it eats whatever they throw him. If someone ate it, they could eat nonstop for a year...”
The instructors’ and the practitioners’ eyes shone with blood.
To such a degree that even the polar bear fled in fear.
The otters, the dolphins and the crocodiles suffered the same fate. Understandably, it was even worse for the birds.
But it didn’t include the expected animals.
Monkeys, gorillas, pigs!
The practitioners liked watching their sweet antics and bananas.
“Somehow I like it.”
“I just can’t seem to stop looking.”
Lee Hyun enjoyed the zoo.
It has been so long since he had taken a break.
He had never taken a break after he had started Royal Road. The thought of taking a day off was unbearable since monthly fees were expensive. However he did not regret coming to the zoo with his sister and friends.
“Someday I will visit here with my family again.”
That would be in 10, or maybe 20 years.
But now he was peaceful and happy.
Even when it was time to leave, Lynn refused to leave Lee Hyun's side.
She was on a quest to get closer to him so that they could be lovers.
Oh Dongman, Shin Hye Min and Ji Hoon tried to stay as estranged as possible from the instructors and
