Chapter 149: Black and Gold – 20
Reynas skills improved day by day.
After successfully breaking the plank, she seemed to have cast off any constraints that held her back.
She surpassed the training sessions Ella classified as difficult with top scores over the past three days.
Now, only one remained.
The training called Frisell.
Reyna swiftly caught the randomly flying cards from all directions with one hand.
After grabbing the last card, she spread out her palm.
Between her five fingers.
Between four gaps, 52 cards were neatly arranged, from A to K, for each suit: hearts, clubs, diamonds, and spades.
The training required identifying the suits and numbers on the flying cards and catching them between her fingers.
It demanded extreme cognitive ability.
This was something Ella had never succeeded in, but Reyna accomplished it in one try.
Just as the members were about to cheer, the rough voice of Bendict, coming through the bandages, stopped them.
Where did the Joker card go?
Huh?
Come to think of it, there are two more cards. The Black Joker and the Red Joker.
In Frisell, among the flying 54 cards, two hidden Joker cards had to be filtered out.
If she even briefly held onto them, it meant disqualification.
But there was no sign of the Joker cards anywhere on the floor.
Did I shuffle them incorrectly?
Maybe? Didnt we leave them hidden between the clothes when we played cards the other day?
What? Hey, you guys always said the Joker pops out whenever we need it!
As the members murmured, Wonderstein grinned and pulled out a card from his suit pocket.
A joker dressed in black was depicted on it.
At the same time, Reyna also took out a card from her front pocket.
There was a joker dressed in red.
Amidst the raining cards, she precisely caught only those two and put them into her and Wondersteins pockets.
This was a trick Ella couldnt pull off.
The members cheered.
With this, she completed all of Ellas challenges in just ten days.
In the midst of the passionate scene, Reyna still maintained her cool expression.
She was also very pleased, but retaining her composure after successfully performing acrobatics was a habit ingrained in her.
Sven rattled his skull as he exclaimed, Haha, Reyna has conquered all of Ellas training! With this, Reynas ambition has gone one step further!
At his words, her stiff expression softened slightly.
Oh, no! W-whos aiming for the Assistant Director position?
The skeleton clown teased her with a playful tone.
Huh? I didnt say I was aiming for Assistant Director Position. I just mentioned ambition, right?
T-thats well, youve been teasing me about it the whole time
All the members burst into laughter at her puzzled reaction.
The most changed thing, above all, was her attitude.
A bit of softness crept into her rigid military-like tone.
Instead of standing firm against the members jokes, she blushed and became flustered.
Looking at her now, it was hard to believe she was the same person as the cold one on the first day.
Reyna.
Wonderstein approached Reyna.
She looked at him, startled.
Yes?
Do you want to be our Assistant Director?
She decided to answer honestly.
Regardless of the possibility, she was curious about his reaction.
I
She opened her mouth.
Several synonyms swirled confusingly in her mind.
Reyna replied nervously.
Go, going out? I-Im okay, but if you go with me, it wont be fun
Reyna knew she wasnt good at conversation.
And her ability to adapt to others was also lacking.
She remembered the scene where he and Ella walked through the alley chatting happily.
Despite leaving a good impression of herself through training and education, she didnt want to be compared unfavorably and labeled as boring just by going out with him for no reason.
Wonderstein grew impatient and urged her.
Haha, there wont be much to talk about, will there? Were just going to see something fun. But we need one more person.
Reyna breathed a sigh of relief at his words.
Thats right.
He, the circus director, wasnt suggesting going flower viewing or anything like that.
What kind of performance is it?
Its not a performance. Were going to Slagbrot Factory.
Wonderstein said enthusiastically.
The Slagbrot Factory was one of the two major dungeons in Yeterinpuurk.
Wanting to go on a pilgrimage to places featured in the game was a pure desire as a gamer.
In Luz, he unintentionally went ghost hunting and explored the sewers.
But there was simply no opportunity here.
The sewers were originally uninhabited.
So he could freely open the closed well lids and go in.
But the place he wanted to go to now was a currently operational factory.
He had to follow the regular route.
Tour with children or teenagers was the easiest way to enter.
However, the two teenagers in his circus troupe refused.
Spend a day there?
Im not a kid.
Although there was Womon, the only time he could go out was during the Halloween season.
But unfortunately, at that time, factory tours were temporarily suspended due to a candy distribution event.
Yurakne looked at Wonderstein and Reyna entering the villa together and said with a regretful voice, Its a shame. If only I was three years younger, I could pass of as a teenager.
Sven glanced at her briefly and replied seriously, Not 10 years?
Maya returned to the villa just as Yurakne was choking Sven.
Maya looked at the two of them with an expressionless face and said, Is the training over?
Yurakne nodded as she released her grip on Svens neck. Yes. Just now.
Haha, feels like my neck bone got squished! Sven stood up and brushed himself off.
Maya looked around the yard. Wheres the Director?
Oh, the Director is inside discussing tomorrows outing with Reyna. Hell be there, Sven replied.
An uneasy feeling pierced Mayas entire body. An outing?
Yeah! To the Slagbrot Bakery Factory
As Maya listened to Svens explanation, she stood frozen in place, unable to move.
She stared at the villa building with a dumbfounded expression.
Woof
Wally stood next to her with a forlorn face.
Did he make that expression when he lost his cozy spot in the box?
Maya gritted her teeth.
She thought Reyna was just a guest staying over, so she didnt guard herself.
But she underestimated the Directors abilities too much.
In just under two weeks?
Meow
Wally let out a mournful cry.
It was like a cat who had been robbed by a stray dog.
