Alice found herself staring blankly into space after returning to her room.

In her hands was the unusual weapon she'd been given, a hybrid between a spear and a sword known as an Echoun Moonblade. It wasn't quite a spear, nor was it exactly a sword, but a heavy metal construct resting in her grip.

“—Al-Alright, everyone, disperse! Alice, just keep using that for training for now, and I’ll get you a more suitable artifact soon. Go on, head back to your rooms!”

Shin Se-hee’s flustered voice echoed in Alice’s mind as she had hastily disbanded the group, but Alice was still haunted by the image burned into her retina.

What… was that?

Without warning, the light had cascaded from above Jin Yoo-ha’s head. His face contorted in discomfort as he grimaced, clearly in pain.

And then.

And then.

And then.

By the time it was over, Alice could hardly breathe.

For right in front of her was the sight of a real man’s body, exposed in all its raw glory.

His jet-black eyes seemed to draw her in. His skin, slick with sweat, gleamed in the dim light. His clothing—what little remained—barely covered more than it revealed, leaving his muscular physique fully on display.

The muscles she hadn’t even noticed when he was clothed were now visible, rippling with each labored breath.

Rip—

Jin Yoo-ha tore off the last remnants of his clothing, gripping a strip of it in his mouth. He swept his wet hair back with a single hand, tying it behind his head in one fluid motion.

Alice couldn’t tear her gaze away from him for even a second.@@novelbin@@
