[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 190

[⚔️Why did the Bangjang come to the market?]

[⚔️ChickenChickenChicken]

“I came to buy some stuff. Just looking around.”

“Young lady, take a look at the vegetables.”

As I walk around the market, people wave at me from everywhere.

“Hello, Shop Owner.”

“Oh, our young lady is here. The tomatoes are super fresh today.”

“Can I try one?”

“Of course, go ahead.”

The owner uncle picks out a plump tomato and hands it to me.

*Crunch.*

I take a bite, and the fresh tomato bursts in my mouth.

I tear off a piece and offer it to Baekseol, who eats it with her tiny mouth.

“Delicious!”

“Really? Shop Owner, give me the tomatoes.”

“How much do you want?”

“Give me everything.”

“Huh? They come in boxes, you know?”

“Yep, give me all of them.”

The bewildered vegetable shop owner brings out a box full of tomatoes from the back.

By now, it’s become a habit to sweep everything into my storage space before leaving.

“Shop Owner, do you deliver?”

“Of course.”

“Then give me boxes of lettuce, radish, cabbage, bell peppers, napa cabbage, chives, leeks, and onions.”

“Oh my, are you throwing a feast or something?”

“Yep.”

Some items are in stock, some aren’t, but shopping like this is kind of fun.

“Shop Owner, do you have chili powder and sesame oil?”

“The mill across the street does that well. I have a bit of sesame oil here, want some?”

“Hmm, no. I’ll go there myself.”

The owner, smiling, starts sweating again as he gathers the vegetables.

The market sometimes stocks ingredients from friendly households on empty shelves.

[⚔️At this rate, aren’t you a locust?]

[⚔️LOL for real]

[⚔️Wow, the owner’s gonna clock out early LOL]

*Ring ring.*

*Click.*

“Hello.”

– “Hello.”

As I answer the call, I hear the voice of someone I met before.

“Hello, PD. How have you been?”

– “Thanks to you. I’m calling because the outline for the broadcast we talked about is ready.”

“Oh, already? That’s great for me.”

The PD, who was filming with Bom Baram at the Lobster Tail Butter Grilled place, had mentioned quitting their current show to start a new one. Looks like it’s almost ready.

– “Haha, hearing that puts me at ease. I was worried you might say no.”

“Sounds fun. Sorry, but I’m busy—can I send my manager friend instead?”

– “Of course. I’ll send the time and date via message.”

“Okay, thank you.”

*Click.*

As I hang up, the viewers flood me with questions.

[⚔️What’s…]

Is it a contract?

Who is it?

I said it’s the PD.

“Hold on. I’ll make a quick call and let you know. Gonna mute for a sec.”

Got it.

*Ring ring*

*Click*

The other person picks up quickly.

“Man-wook.”

“Yes, sis.”

“I’m gonna send you a message. Can you send over one of your sharp friends to handle it?”

“Leave it to me.”

“Thanks. How’s your health?”

“After a drink you gave me, I feel like I’m about to fly. I hit the punching bag, and it exploded right in front of me.”

“Good. Also, I’ll be cleaning up the higher-ups soon, so get ready. You’ll take over their business.”

“Yes, sis. Thank you.”

“Bye.”

*Click*

After hanging up, I check my phone and see the viewers laughing among themselves about something.

“I think I’m gonna be on a show.”

“Woah!”

“Our Room Master, as expected!”

“What kind of show?”

“Not sure yet. You know PD Kang Man-seung, right?”

“The one from the food show?”

“Yeah.”

“He’s launching a new show and asked me to appear.”

“Must be the one he asked you to guest on before.”

“This is gonna be fun already.”

While chatting with the viewers, I notice we’ve already arrived at the meeting spot.

“Hello, sis.”

Man-wook’s subordinate bows his head.

“The items are ready.”

“It looks new. I asked for used ones.”

“Man-wook hyung made such a fuss, so we got brand new ones.”

“Are you buying that??”

“Yeah. It’s mine.”

“Your first car as a streamer is a 1.5-ton truck?”

“Lol, is this for real?”

“We made sure there’s no trace left, even the scrap is clean.”

The subordinate parked the 1.5-ton truck and a bike neatly in a deserted alley.

I asked for any used vehicle since it’s gonna get rough, but they went and got a brand-new one.

“Stop talking like it’s drugs.”

“Haha.”

Everything in sight is stored in the subspace, so now all that’s left is to head to the tower.

***

As Professor Hwang opens the door and enters, the professors sitting at the long table glance at him.

Despite his age, Professor Hwang is considered the youngest in the faculty meetings.

Unfazed by their gazes, Professor Hwang sits down and opens the end-of-month meeting materials.

Then, a note falls out from the thick stack of documents.

───

Teacher, I’m heading to the tower for a bit.

I’ll be gone for a few days.

I’ll try not to cause any trouble, so don’t worry!

Han Ga-eul─

P.S. Please take care of our kids.

───

*Plop.*

The scattered gazes once again gathered at the sound of Professor Hwang’s voice.

“Han Ga-eul······.”

What kind of handwriting is this? The sheer elegance of the scribbles alone sends shivers down your spine. How could anyone write like this on a hastily scribbled note? Professor Hwang couldn’t wrap his head around it.

What was even more baffling was the nonchalant attitude of going up the tower as if it were a casual stroll to the neighborhood store. The tower is a hellish place where even if ten people enter, only one comes out alive—and that’s considered normal.

“Hoho, Professor Hwang, your J-class is truly something else.”

While Professor Hwang was grinding his teeth over Han Ga-eul’s note, a white-haired professor sitting across from him chimed in.

“What do you mean by that…?”

“Well, what was it again? The Shin Yong Loan Team? That team exists, right?”

“Ah······.”

It’s Han Ga-eul again.

The troublemaker of J-class.

“Haha, isn’t that the team Ga-eul made?”

Another professor sitting next to the white-haired one chimed in, acting all familiar.

*Ga-eul? Since when did they get so close?*

“Do you know Cadet Han Ga-eul?”

“I ran into her the other day, and she greeted me so politely and respectfully, hoho.”

“I had the beef and wild chive soup she made, and it was so delicious I could dream about it.”

*Why are these strict old folks acting like this? What’s this about beef and wild chive soup?*

Professor Hwang had to forcefully push his jaw back into place.

“Are we talking about the same troublemaker Ga-eul from my class? The one who smashed Hwang Hyun’s face from the Cheonhamusang Guild?”

“Hoho, the cadet is just so adorable, so they must’ve taken it as a joke.”

Hwang Hyun from the Cheonhamusang Guild was lucky to be alive after the severe injuries he sustained. His face was crushed by Han Ga-eul’s flying kick, and they had to pour billions worth of potions into him.

After that, Hwang Hyun went berserk, trying to storm in, but they barely managed to stop him by invoking the authority of Wisdom Academy.

And they’re calling that a joke? The notoriously strict professors of Wisdom Academy wouldn’t act like this unless they’d lost their minds.

As Professor Hwang’s disbelief grew, he recalled a message he received not long ago from an Enchanter he was close with.

*A Wisdom Academy cadet already had a weight-enhancement enchantment on a 100-kilogram training axe, and then they stacked five more weight-enhancement enchantments on top of it…*

There’s only one cadet at Wisdom Academy who casually swings around a strength-training axe.

As Professor Hwang continued to ponder, he couldn’t help but flinch.

If a 50-kilogram training axe has a weight-doubling enchantment stacked six times, the final weight increases by 64 times.

*Wait, 3,200 kilograms? How strong is she…?*

Simply lifting something heavy and swinging it around are on entirely different levels.

Just lifting it is one thing, but…

There’s a world record where even an ordinary person, called a strongman, lifted over 500 kilograms.

But the weight of a swung weapon averages around 1.5 kilograms.

Even a heavy bastard sword barely reaches 1.8 kilograms, not even 2 kilograms.

Swinging means the center of gravity is entirely focused in one place, and you have to endure it with just your wrist strength.

“…No way, right? She’s a Supporter….”

A sigh escapes Professor Hwang’s mouth as he rereads the note Han Ga-eul left behind.

“I’ll try not to cause any trouble, so don’t worry!”

“This part is the least believable.”

***

“Han Ga-eul, this is the entrance to the tower.”

“Thanks. I’ll be back.”

“Alright.”

Yu Bit-na waves her hand gently, seeing her off.

The gate said to be the entrance to the tower shines brilliantly ahead.

Probably, stepping inside will reveal a different world, like a dungeon.

Though she’s heard a lot of other information from Yu Bit-na, she hasn’t heard a single word about the tutorial that happens when you first enter the tower.

Due to the tower’s covenant, Yu Bit-na can’t talk about the test, and seeing her suffer damage the moment she tries to speak makes it hard not to believe.

Waving back at Yu Bit-na, Han Ga-eul takes a step, and in an instant, the world flips upside down.
