The Unsurpassed Maiden - Chapter 155

“You’re a Hydro Mage. How the hell do you know about Geo stuff?” Jong In asks while giving Shang Min a curious look.

Shang Min’s face was tainted pink while she coughs awkwardly. “I…I have some experience with Geo magic.”

“Experience? What kind of experience?” Jong In asks.

When Shang Min’s face even grew a darker shade of red, that’s when Ji Sung decided to butt in. “Ah. Those kinds of experiences. I honestly don’t get why Geo men always love to use their magic on their partners.”

Shang Min didn’t say anything at all. She just kept her head bowed down as she bit her lip while also fiddling with her fingers. However, Jong In seemed to not get the little conversation that happened between Shang Min and Ji Sung.

“What? What do you guys mean? I don’t get it.” The smaller male says while he looks back and forth between Shang Min and Ji Sung. Then, he faces Shang Min, “Shang Min, tell me. What’s up with Geo users and their abilities?”

“Ignore that dumbo and tell me what do I need to do to get out of these rings?” Se Heon suddenly says while looking at Shang Min dead in the eyes.

The blonde girl who was obviously startled with Se Heon’s sudden attention, shakes her head to wake herself up before returning the man’s gaze and answering his question. “You just need to calm your heart. Think of something that can keep your emotions steady. Then, when you feel like you are already at peace, slowly extend your arms outwards to push away the rings from your body.”

“That’s it?” Se Heon asks.

Shang Min nodded her head at him. “Yes. That’s it. That’s why you should stay calm first in order to get out of those shackles.”

Just like what the blonde girl instructed him, Se Heon decided to close his eyes so he could think of something that can calm his raging emotions. Although a part of him was still trying to kill the arrogant teacher from earlier in his mind, he forced them out so he could finally calm himself. He thinks about something that can help him calm down but it seems like he doesn’t have anything in his mind right now that could help him.

Se Heon must have been showing some kind of a pained and angry reaction because the next second, he can hear Shang Min’s voice telling him to stay calm.

“Se Heon, the rings are tightening again. You’re not calm enough.” Shang Min says while she observes the rings around the tall man’s body tightening even more.

With a grunt and eyes still closed, Se Heon answers, “I’m trying but I can’t think of anything that calms me down.”

Shang Min bites her lip before she starts thinking about something. “Try thinking about your childhood. Some childhood memories of yours!”

The rings tightened even more.

“Sh*t. Uhm? Guys? A little help please?” Shang Min asks while giving the two other men a helpless look.

This made the two snap out of their thoughts before they started thinking of something that can help the other student get out of the Geo rings. Ji Sung was the first one to talk, “How about when you learned you were a dual user? You were so happy that time, right?”

They see the rings loosen just a little bit. But it wasn’t enough.

Jong In decided to share his idea. “Or that time when you finally woke up from your long coma? It’s good to be alive, right?”

The rings tighten once more. “JongIn! What did you do?”

Jong In looked horrified as he gave Shang Min an apologetic look. “I thought it could make him happy. Who doesn’t get happy when they learn that they’re finally awake from a coma?”

“Sh*t. The rings are tightening even more.” Ji Sun says while eyeing the rings around his cousin’s body. He gave Jong In a glare before saying, “Shut up already. You’re making it worse.”

Jong In looked like a kicked puppy before he pouted and decided to shut his mouth.

Shang Min was still biting her lips while trying to think about something that can help Se Heon. “How about when you got into the academy?”

The rings loosen again. Ji Sung decided to speak again, “And when you got into the dorm did you like it with me?”

There was no reaction from the rings or Se Heon. However, Ji Sung felt offended. “Hey! Why aren’t you happy about sharing a dorm with me?”

Shang Min just rolled her eyes at the other party’s childishness, completely forgetting that the other student was her senior. Then, a thought flashed into her mind. The blonde girl doesn’t know if it’s a good thing to say but she’s willing to try out her luck. “Think about Mi Young. Think about your memories with her.”

This immediately made everyone around the corridor fall silent. Even Se Heon, who had a contorted face and pained expression earlier, seemed to relax. Instantly, the rings surrounding the young man’s body broke off and turned into tiny pieces of dust until it fell on the floor and formed a tiny pile of sand.

“Sh*t.” Ji Sung says with eyes as round as saucers. Then, he looked at Se Heon who still had a calm expression on his face. “This man got it hard.”

Shang Min was smiling when Se Heon finally opened his eyes. “Congratulations.”

“For what?” Se Heon asked, confused. He looks at the other two men who were looking at him with different expressions. Then, he returned his gaze back to Shang Min. “Thanks for the tip.”

Shang Min curtsied in front of Se Heon, “You’re welcome.”

“Wow. I didn’t know such abilities existed.” Jong In comments while looking at the pile of sand on the floor. “Oh sh*t. Madam Krutz would definitely kill you if she sees the front of your room as dirty as that!”

“How about I kill you first?” Se Heon asks while glaring at the man. But his voice was soft enough to let the other three students know that he was just joking. Jong In stuck out his tongue at him like a little kid. This made Se Heon shake his head while chuckling softly. “What a brat.”

Then, when Se Heon finally decided to look at Ji Sung, the older party had a sly smirk playing along his lips which made Se Heon confused. “What? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“All along I thought you would end up dying as a single and miserable man.” Ji Sung started while he slowly walked towards Se Heon. Then, he casually pats his younger cousin’s shoulder before saying, “But you’re a big boy now, eh?”

“What are you saying you’re weirdo?” Se Heon asks while he brushes off the older male’s hands away from his shoulder. This made Ji Sung laugh hysterically.

Shang Min followed after him as well. Se Heon looks at Jong In, expecting the other party to laugh just like the other two. However, he was rather confused as to why the other party had a confused look like him.

Jong In must have felt the taller male’s eyes on him and so he asked, “Don’t ask me. I don’t know why they’re laughing as well.”

When Ji Sung finally calmed down, he pats Se Heon’s shoulders once more. “Don’t worry, lil bro. I know you’ll find a way to tell her someday.”

“Tell who exactly?” Se Heon continued to ask.

“Shang Min giggled at their side. “Oh I would love to see her face when she hears those words coming out from your mouth.”

“What the hell are you two talking about?”

“Yeah, what are you guys laughing about?” Jong In butts in as well, trying so hard to analyze what was going on.

When Se Heon realized that the two students would never tell him what was making them laugh, he decided to walk away from them, “Whatever. I need to find that old man first.”

“Se Heon! Are you going to look for teacher Zhong Liu by yourself?” Shang Min asks when she realized where the other party was going.

Se Heon didn’t say a word but just waved a hand at them while his back was still facing them.

“Let us come!” Jong In announces. But before he could even take a step forward to run after the boy, a hand grabs him on his collar.

“You two stay here.” Ji Sung says with a serious voice.

“But why? We want to go as well!” Shang Min cries out. Jong In sees that Ji Sung’s other hand was also grabbing the younger girl by her collar.

The senior shakes his head before saying, “Let him be. It’s his right to look for the teacher by himself. Besides, I need you two to do something very important and crucial for me.”

Hearing the word from the senior’s mouth, the two immediately relax. Their full attention was immediately on the senior, completely forgetting that seconds ago they were trying their best to come after Se Heon.

“What is it? We’re willing to do anything dangerous and important as long as it can enhance our abilities!” Jong In announces with excitement. The thought of having to do an important and crucial task from a respected senior was making him feel giddy inside. He and Shang Min have always been waiting to do something extreme so they can enhance their abilities.

Ji Sung was nodding his head before he told the other two, “I need you two to clean up this mess for me. Yeah? You guys are willing to help me, right?”
