Kidnapped Dragons (KR Web Novel)

Kaeul had changed in the blink of an eye.

The change wasnt limited to her expression. Her eyes facing him had a hint of shadow within and the pressure being given off by her body was calm, yet aggressive.

That too, was similar to how Yu Jitae had been in the distant past.

“…”

After gently lowering her head once, she walked past Yu Jitae and headed towards the stage. Cadets standing in the front row glared at Kaeul and voices going, “She cant even tell when not to chime in” were heard but Kaeul did not show any reaction in response.

On the stairs leading up to the top of the stage, Gong Juhee blocked Kaeul from the front.

“Did you see that?”

“…”

“Unlike someone, I had been practising for months. How was it? Quite nice?”

Without responding, Kaeul looked up at Gong Juhee with a hazy gaze. Seeing that, Gong Juhee clicked her tongue once before moving to the side and walking down the stairs.

“Know your place.”

Letting her words go through one ear and out the other, Kaeul once again carried her slow steps over the stairs and stood on top of the stage, in front of the mic. The teaching staff, Oh Minsung, who had been looking at her profile, was the first to open his mouth.

“You applied for both the main and the supporting declarer positions, right?”

“…Yes.”

“There werent any records written from the first audition so I was asking to double-check.”

He then scanned Yu Kaeul with his eyes. In order to add more words, he started another sentence with, “Ehh, and…” but Ha Junsoo waved his hand to intervene.

“Ah, dont worry about that. Please start immediately from the first declaration.”

Oh Minsung made a frown.

Kaeul closed her eyes and at an extremely slow pace, she breathed in and out.

Declaration 1. Fall of Nations.

Human race who were made to face monsters in the everchanging period of time called New Era.

Within the confusion, a certain girl had lost her parents and siblings.

A declaration of her clamor to the world, was now flowing out from Kaeuls lips.

*

[Thirty-nine countries vanished from the map.]

It was the same in every field. After exceeding a certain threshold and reaching a certain level, one could comprehend others from the smallest of the hints.

[The origin of the human race written on papyrus, tainted with blood, was brought to an indiscernible state. A new era approached our human race, but we were yet to be prepared for an impending catastrophe arriving without warning.]

Merely two segments had left Yu Kaeuls lips but in that moment, Ha Junsoo was certain that his own decision had not been wrong.

There was a sensation hitting him. That certain feeling which rose up from the tip of his feet passed by his waist and hung on his fingers.

While directing the stage, Ha Junsoo had always been thinking that his greed was too excessive.

He had always been wishing for a perfect stage – a performance that could enrapture the minds of the audience and have their hearts boil.
