Chapter 144 – Chapter 144 Hero Academy (2-11)
In the beginning, Seohyun asked Seongsuah an incomprehensible question when she met in front of her restaurant.
“… What? Are you alone?”
Although the words were incomprehensible to others, Seong Soo-ah immediately understood and answered Cho Seo-hyeon’s words.
“… Yes.”
The two looked at each other and thought to themselves.
‘What? Weren’t we eating together?’, ‘… Why is my sister suddenly wanting to eat her meal with Instructor Seong Su-ho?’
However, the inner voice that each other kept did not reach the other.
Cho Seohyun was silent for a while, then scratched her head and said.
“That… Isn’t that person eating together?”
“Instructor Seong Su-ho said he had business with Ara today and said he would eat later.”
“Arabic? Are you Song?”
“Yes.”
Upon hearing Song Ara’s name, Seohyeon recalled the conversation she had had earlier in the morning.
(If I teach you and you develop strange habits, Instructor Seohyeon Cho might be harmed, right?)
(Okay. I’ll watch over you whenever you can after dinner.)
Even with Seong Soo-ah in front of Cho Seo-hyeon, she smiled involuntarily as she recalled the conversation she had heard earlier.
Seong Soo-ah put on a puzzled expression as she saw her smiling so carelessly.
‘No way…. No, I’m not the type to be interested in a man….’
Seohyun, who noticed Seongsuah’s meaningful expression, cleared her throat and opened her mouth.
“Kuhm…. OK got it. See you.”
It was the moment when Seohyun was about to say goodbye to her and head to the dormitory.
“I… Sister.”
“Yes?’
Seohyun frowned as if asking why she was calling her, and she looked at Seongsuah.
Just by looking at her expression, she didn’t seem to want to stay with Sung Soo-ah for long.
Sung Soo-ah carefully asked.
“That… Kanghyun, how is her brother doing?”
“… ? What are you talking about? Why are you asking me that?”
“That is… It is not easy to contact. I’m worried….”
“….”
Seohyeon couldn’t understand Seongsuah’s words, but she didn’t even think to understand.
‘What are you talking about….’
Seohyun scratched her head and replied.
“I don’t know either. See if you’re busy.”
“Yes…. I’m sorry I caught you.”
“….”
Second, Seohyun turned her body around and headed for her dormitory.
As she headed to the dormitory, she chewed on what Seongsu-ah had said earlier.
She is in a relationship with her sister, and the woman who stole her brother was asking her about her sister in an odd way.
Cho Seo-hyun was because she naturally thought that she was a substitute because her sister and her Seong-su-ah met every day.
“… Is there anything wrong with Kanghyun? A… Even when she enters a dungeon, she makes a mess with her fingers, so what can happen?”
Cho Kang-hyeon, the younger brother of Cho Seo-hyeon, was a superlative hero.
In the media, the general opinion was that he would not be pushed back at all even if he fought the monster chief.
She smiled bitterly at Cho Seo-hyun, dispelling her worries about her younger brother.
“There’s no way anything could happen to the instructor in class.”
The safest place in Korea.
A place where the Order’s heroes are always on standby and care about the safety and security of the cadets.
That place was a meeting.
In addition, Cho Kang-hyeon was a hero that even the church could not carelessly do.
However, even if Cho Kang-hyeon was such a superlative hero, her concerns as a family member were separate.
“… Let’s put in a letter.”
Seohyeon Cho entered and sent a single sentence that was neither long nor short.
-What’s up? I’m worried, so I’m texting.-
It was just a text asking for regards in moderation.
As soon as Cho Seo-hyeon finished sending the text message, Seong Su-ho and Song A-ra came to mind.
“Come to think of it, why is archery all of a sudden?”
Song A-ra’s main weapon was a sword. Yes, it was an individual’s freedom to handle other weapons.
However, I was puzzled that the timing was so out of the blue.
“… I’m curious, so let’s stop by.”
I wasn’t particularly worried about the relationship between the two.
However, as Seong Su-ho said earlier, Seong Su-ho is an assistant instructor, and when something goes wrong, he is an assistant instructor.
Cho Seo-hyeon headed to the shooting range to take a quick look.
Shoot evil.
As the shooting range got closer, the sound of arrows cutting through the air became louder and louder.
Seohyun hid herself thinking that there might be someone else, so she looked inside the shooting range.
‘… There are only two of them.’
In the large shooting range, only Song A-ra and Seong Su-ho stood side by side.
After Song Ara shot the arrow, she opened her mouth and started a conversation.
“Sam. How can you raise an arrow and shoot right away like that?”
“What… It’s just a feeling.”
“Oh… Aren’t you showing off that you’re too talented?”
Looking at the two of them, Cho Seo-hyeon was able to wipe away any concerns she had heard as she walked to the training ground.
As soon as Seong Soo-ho put the arrow in to draw the bow, he let go of the bow string without a second thought.
Although the power of the arrow’s flight seemed weak, it accurately hit the center of the target 200 meters away.
‘Her… I think I shot without looking at the target properly?’
Cho Seo-hyeon also explored dungeons with archers in the guild and caught countless monsters.
However, most archers did not shoot at the target roughly like that.
The more skilled the archers, the more they gave strength to their eyes and gave off an atmosphere as if they were concentrating on everything.
Cho Seo-hyeon wondered if it was because Seongsu-ho was a training ground, so he already had a clear target with his eyes, but he thought that was not the case either.
‘Looking at how the kids shot their weapons accurately behind the cadet who stood in the way during the last training, it seems like they’re really good at it. … Now that we’ve checked, let’s go.’
Cho Seo-hyeon tried to leave with a sorry heart because it seemed like she was eavesdropping on the two of them.
But just in time, Song-Ara started to ask about that part.
“Sir, how do you shoot after skimming like that? Even though I put all my mind into aiming, I couldn’t hit the center of the target like that….”
“It’s not what you see with your eyes.”
“Yes?”
“… ?”
Cho Seo-hyeon stopped involuntarily at those words and listened to Seong Su-ho’s words.
“The important thing is the feeling of the hand. One sight is enough.”
“Ugh… It is difficult to understand the advice of talented people.”
Looking at Song Ara, Cho Seohyeon thought the same.
‘Vision is the most important thing in anything. I have to watch and watch again and again.’
The moment Seohyeon Cho thought that way, the voice of a ghost from the past flowed in.
(Keep your eyes open! Stupid bitch!)
(Close your eyes? Do you want to die? Then I’ll kill you!)
‘… It looks like a beggar. Why am I thinking of something completely irrelevant….’
Even while Cho Seo-hyun was covering her throbbing head, Seong Su-ho’s words entered her ears.
“Get in the habit of believing everything you see.”
“Yes?”
Along with Song A-ra’s questioning voice, Seo-hyeon Cho listened to Seong Su-ho’s words.
“It’s about believing in yourself. If you don’t trust the eyes that light up your vision, other organs won’t work properly after all. I think so.”
As soon as Cho Seo-hyeon heard Seong Soo-ho’s words, a line flowed into her head.
(Doubt yourself! Doubt what you saw! The body and brain you’ve had are garbage! Okay!?)
Seong Soo-ho finished his words while Seohyun pressed her temples and endured a headache.
“Believe in what you have seen once, believe in yourself and let go of the bowstring. However, you are already better than me, so I am not sure if my advice is correct.”
“No! I think that’s a really good word. Hi-Hi.”
Song A-ra was smiling brightly at Seong Su-ho, who was standing shyly.
Cho Seo-hyeon looked at the two with a gloomy expression and thought.
‘Me too… Me too… If only I had someone by my side like that….’
Cho Seo-hyeon was jealous of Song A-ra’s appearance, but on the other hand, she even felt that she was pathetic.
Unbeknownst to her, she was feeling jealous of her pupil, which made her feel ashamed.
While feeling her sense of self-doubt, Song Ara opened her mouth with a bright smile.
“Ah, Mr. Seong Soo-ho.”
“Yes?”
“How is Cho Seo-hyun?”
Cho Seo-hyeon raised her eyebrows at the sudden popping out of her name.
He was the least curious about the story he told in a place he wasn’t.
And that’s what I’m most concerned about.
Seong Soo-ho opened his mouth without any reaction on his face.
“He was a passionate man.”
“A… Not like that.”
“… ?”
“Isn’t Cho Seo-hyun cute?”
As soon as Seohyeon Cho heard that, the delicate veins in her temples began to appear.
‘That bastard….’
Cho Seohyun’s words she hated the most were words that wrapped herself up in a cute way.
There was nothing she hated the most in this world for her, like her looks like a child, her cuteness and her sound.
In that way, Seohyeon, who endured her heat, began to pour praises other than Song Ara’s praise into Seohyeon’s ears.
“Isn’t it cute? When I first saw teacher Seohyun, I thought she was a school field trip!”
Sigh!
‘Ah-oh! That son of a bitch!’
As Cho Seo-hyeon consumed her anger, she forgot she was hiding and she tried to run towards the two of them.
However, Seong Soo-ho’s words stopped her.
“Cadet Song Ah-ra, you can’t say such things.”
“Yes?”
“….”
Seong Soo-ho lifted her bow and fired an arrow before continuing her words.
“You can’t talk about Instructor Cho Seo-hyeon that way. He is the one who thinks all day how he can teach you well. Would it be rude to say that he is cute?”
“That… Sorry.”
“It’s not about bruising. However, it is a story that I want to respect even in invisible places.”
Seong Soo-ho fired another arrow and then continued talking about her super Seo-hyeon.
“From what I can see, among the instructors here, there is no one as responsible and hard-working as he is. He is working hard enough to say that he is dedicated to teaching you guys.”
“Yes… I’ll be careful next time!”
Seong Soo-ho put her hand on Song A-ra’s shoulder and opened her mouth with an apologetic look on her face.
“Okay… I’m sorry for overdoing it too. It ruined the mood.”
“A! No! Thinking about it, I… Yes?”
“… ? What’s wrong?”
Song Ah-ra tilted her head and opened her mouth while looking at the entrance of her shooting range.
“There… I guess someone is there. I heard it now.”
“… ?”
Seong Soo-ho walked towards the entrance of the shooting range just in case.
And there….
“… ? No one?”
“Uh… I’m sure someone was there…. Yes?”
In Song Ara’s eyes, small water marks that fell on the floor and reflected the light caught her eyes.
“Yes? Is it sweat?”
While Song Ara looked around her, Seongsuho said as she walked back to her original seat.
“Come on, let’s shoot some more and go slowly. I will close the restaurant after this.”
“Yes!”
Song A-ra left her water marks behind and ran to Seongsu-ho.
