Chapter 195 – Chapter 195 Hero Academy (3-2)
“Ruler! Everyone, check your body and see if there are any problems!”
“….”
Not everyone was quick to respond to Cho Seo-hyun’s words.
As Cho Seohyun stared at the cadets with her puzzled expression, Song Ara raised her hand and asked a question.
“I… Sam.”
“Why?”
“Greatly… How to say… You look young.’
“… What!?”
Song Ah-ra flinched at Seohyeon’s shout in the beginning and hurriedly retreated behind her.
However, Seohyun didn’t care that she was Song Ah and looked around her body.
Long hair and a neat student uniform that were different from now.
To anyone’s eyes, he looked like a classmate or a junior of the cadets around him.
Second, Seohyun checked her condition and began to stomp his feet on the ground, spitting out rage.
“Oops! Everyone wait!”
Cho Seohyun disappeared while logging out.
And she took advantage of the gap in which Cho Seo-hyun disappeared, and everyone started buzzing.
“Doesn’t Instructor Seohyeon Cho fit well with the device? Doesn’t it seem like that every time?”
“So, didn’t you say you fixed it last time?”
I didn’t understand what the cadets were talking about, so I approached them and asked them.
“What are you talking about? Doesn’t it fit your device?”
“Ah… It was similar when I was in charge of the 2nd year. It says the old data is loaded every time.”
She guessed it roughly by looking at Seohyeon’s appearance, but she said it wasn’t just once or twice.
Cho Seo-hyeon, who has been working at the consulate for three years this year, said that the data from his cadet days was loaded with errors every time.
The problem is that even after fixing it, the problem reoccurs.
‘It’s strange…. Seong Soo-ah and Cho Seo-hyun are like that…. Is this capsule a troublesome device?’
[I don’t think so. Listening to the conversations of the cadets, it seems that only Cho Seo-hyeon is causing problems.]
As Armonia said, most of the students only talked about Cho Seo-hyeon.
“It’s strange, why is only Instructor Cho Seo-hyeon like this?”
“Isn’t it that I haven’t aged that much? Your body hasn’t aged enough to confuse even your equipment.”
“It makes sense…. Looking at the instructor, he honestly looks like my younger brother.”
“… Be careful. If the instructor hears that, you will die on the spot.”
So for a while, the class, which had been conducted without Cho Seo-hyun, was conducted with cadets’ conversations.
After a while, Seohyun Cho logged in again. Just like a cadet….
“Ha… For today, we will proceed as it is.”
..
..
I was really looking forward to it because it was a VR virtual training.
And what satisfies that expectation is the sense of reality.
‘Wow… The level is different from the VR headgear?’
[In addition to the hardware part, the software seems to be completely different.]
To explain the level of simulation experienced after coming into the capsule and experiencing Animal Village with Sung Soo-ah, it was the difference between the game level of the 2000s and the 2020s.
No matter how good games were made in the past, they were bound to be compared as the times changed.
And the representative part of the comparison target is the graphic.
This is because they can be intuitively compared and evaluated.
And it was the same for the comparison of the VR headgear and capsule I was looking at.
‘Kya… It’s not like the real thing, isn’t it?’
Sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste.
I didn’t feel like I was missing anything.
No, rather, it was stimulating all the senses to the point where I wondered if it would be more vivid than reality.
However, what the cadets had to do in a place like this where exclamations were made was boring and exclamation flowed.
“Ruler! Today’s training is sparring training.”
“Ah….”
The cadets sighed and could not hide their regret.
And it was the same for me.
‘No, why do you bother coming to a place like this?’
[This is because data is required due to the nature of VR devices.]
‘Isn’t it recorded automatically when I log in?’
[This VR capsule is in the form of writing the data of a person based on the data when the person who entered it is active.]
The capsule itself was obviously an item with great technology.
However, it is said that it is impossible to completely measure a person’s physical strength or talent based on scans of a person’s body.
At least, it is said that all they can do is to recommend abstractly which field they will do well in.
[Especially for students who took a break during vacation, their body data would have fluctuated, and on the first day, it seems that they are conducting sparring classes in VR for the record.]
‘A… Well, i’m glad Can I do nothing?’
How much can kids get hurt in VR?
Cho Seo-hyeon and Seong Su-ah have told me something before, but they said that unless they were fatally injured, they did not care much about the damage they suffered inside VR.
However, as it is a VR that is linked to the mind, he said that we should be careful about the damage that will cause great trauma.
‘I hope there won’t be sword fighting during sparring.’
[Suho.]
‘Why?’
[Cho Seohyun is approaching.]
Super Seohyeon was approaching me with a frown on her face and shaking her head gently.
Compared to Cho Seo-hyun, who usually wears bobbed hair, her awkwardness doubled.
It’s awkward as usual….
But looking at her, she immediately remembered Cho Seohyun, whom she had seen in her dreams before.
Concentrated eyes that walk confidently and don’t look at nonsense.
A cadet looking only in front of her and striving to reach her own ends.
But there was one thing that was different from that time.
‘Certainly seeing it like this, I can see why I didn’t recognize it then. His expression is completely stiff.’
She was not Cho Seo-hyun, who spread her shoulders proudly with a lively smile and looked at her hopeful future.
It felt like a cat with her wounds and sharp thorns towards the world.
One thing came to her mind as she thought about the dream she had before.
‘Armonia, did you find out anything about Hong Mi-seon?’
[I have received information, but… We’ll let you know after class. I think you should focus on Cho Seo-hyun now.]
While I was communicating, Seohyeon Cho arrived in front of me.
“Is this your first time logging in here?”
“Yes.”
“Then we need to accumulate data.”
In the beginning, Seohyun, wearing her cadet uniform, began to explain her every word.
It was something I had already heard from Armonia, but I pretended to hear it for the first time and agreed.
“All right. She once trained with a bow she used often….”
“No.”
“Yes?”
Super Seohyeon cut me off and opened her mouth with her arms crossed.
“Let’s try sparring once in a while.”
..
..
It’s a matter of course, but if Cho Seo-hyun sparred with me without any handicap, it would be a 1-second cut.
With a single blow from Seohyeon Cho’s dagger, my skull would split cleanly like a sliced watermelon.
‘If my hair splits like that, I don’t think I can attack Cho Seohyun….’
No matter how much virtual training it was, I didn’t want to experience getting my pinky toe on the threshold of death.
During her sparring, Cho Seohyun explained that she would handicap herself.
(I’ll cover my eyes for now. And I’ll fight with only my left auxiliary dagger. FYI, my left hand weapon is for defense.)
In other words, it meant that he would close his eyes and focus on defense.
His only attack is his right hand.
(I’ll take it easy. Don’t be too nervous.)
(…Yes.)
Little toe… Little toe….
When the cadets were training hard in the distance, Seohyeon and I warmed up far away from the cadets.
Cho Seo-hyun with wavy hair and wearing a student uniform.
With Cho Seo-hyeon in his cadet days in front of him, there was a very ambiguous corner to tackle.
‘What can I say… I feel like fighting a kid?’
[If you say that directly to Cho Seo-hyeon, that thought will disappear right away.
‘… My existence will also disappear.’
If I say that to Cho Seo-hyun, my spirit in virtual reality will immediately evaporate, and my body will lose my mind and become a vegetative person sucking only glucose.
Seohyun took out his neat eyepatch and covered her eyes.
“Okay, I’ll give you the seon Gong. Once I check my skills, I increase or decrease my handicap.”
“Yes.”
Once I raised my bow and thought quietly.
‘Can’t sleep…. Didn’t I say it was impossible to use mana in here?’
[Even stealth… I guess you have to be careful. Guardian’s stealth level and Cho Seohyun’s stealth detection level are the same.]
My stealth level was 10, and Cho Seohyun’s stealth detection level was also 10.
Fortunately, it was completely blocking the view.
I quietly hid behind a rock in stealth.
“… ?”
See…. I see Cho Seo-hyun’s puzzled expression.
If the presence suddenly disappears, you will have no choice but to panic.
‘Let’s fire a shot.’
This sparring is not a game where I hide and play hide-and-seek. You have to fire once and give a signal.
I shot an arrow at Cho Seo-hyeon while hiding.
Shoot!
Obviously, the arrow flew well towards Cho Seo-hyeon.
And the arrow skillfully planned to pass the side of Cho Seo-hyeon’s waist.
Yes, it must have gone through the flanks.
Caang!
“There!”
“!”
Crazy
Without looking at the flying arrow, I cut it vertically and split it in half with sound and sense.
‘What the fuck! Is that a human!’
[Once the location was discovered. It should be avoided.]
Once close combat is allowed, this sparring is over. In any case, you should avoid coming close to Cho Seohyeon.
I fired two arrows to keep me in check.
But fortunately, it was that Cho Seo-hyeon’s movements were slow and he was unable to come running easily because he was concentrating on blocking the arrow.
“Kuk!”
‘No matter how much they fly and crawl, they won’t be able to remember all the stones rolling under their feet.’
It’s normal that you shouldn’t.
So, what should I do if something goes beyond the norm?
Grasp!
“Tah!”
“!”
Cho Seo-hyun jumped high into the sky.
Are there obstacles? Then you can fly into the air without any obstacles.
‘Sir!’
I almost threw away the concept and swear words came out of my mouth.
I fired an arrow at Cho Seo-hyeon, who jumped and flew away.
Shoot! Taang!
“Kuk!”
At least this time it worked.
The arrow I shot hit the blade of Cho Seo-hyeon’s sword and bounced off.
I immediately used stealth again and used the surrounding landmarks to get out of the spot.
***
“….”
Cho Seohyun calmed his mind and focused all his senses into his ears.
Cho Seo-hyeon thought of sparring while taking care of him in moderation.
No matter how much he closed his eyes, he had the senses he had been accustomed to.
The surrounding terrain obstructs traffic, but I thought that the handicap was not a big problem.
If it’s a bit annoying, it’s Seong Soo-ho’s bow skills.
However, Cho Seo-hyeon, who believed in Sung Soo-ho’s bow skills, was aware of his weaknesses.
Penetration and destructive power are weak.
And when I shot an arrow, I was able to find the location at once by the sound of flying.
Even if he fired a howitzer, he could not hide the sound of the first bowstring.
But even as all my senses went to my ears, other wild thoughts started running through my head.
‘What the hell is this person doing!’
Obviously, in terms of skill, Seohyun Cho had the upper hand.
However, Seong Soo-ho skillfully hid his presence and looked for her gaps every now and then.
Cho Seo-hyeon was annoyed, but his evaluation of Seong Su-ho was getting higher and higher.
‘No matter how much I think about it, it’s a waste to be only an assistant instructor. Let’s make a suggestion when we return to the guild.’
It was the moment when Cho Seo-hyun thought so.
Shaaaaagh!
Visor!
“Hot! Taat!”
Cho Seo-hyeon leaped at once and jumped to the place where the bowstring had bounced.
And in the middle of her jump, several arrows flew towards her.
Visor! Visor! Visor!
“Great!”
It was not easy for Cho Seo-hyeon to block the arrows flying into the air when there was no sight at all.
Due to the arrow she encountered in the air, her concentration was distracted, and when she landed, the Holy Guardian had already disappeared.
“Sir….”
This was the 6th time.
Apart from being annoyed, Seong Su-ho’s actions were definitely enough to give good reviews.
Dalian was not only focused on determining the superiority of skill.
There was also a time to check each other’s weaknesses.
‘This blindfold… The handicap is too strong.’
Cho Seo-hyeon had no choice but to admit it.
At this rate, she will only be dragged by Seong Soo-ho….
But even so, she never wanted to back down.
‘First… I need to catch one….’
Cho Seo-hyeon concentrated on this while biting at it.
‘Okay… No need to rush Didn’t she know that it would be useless if she went there just because she knew the location?’
She could feel the sweat on her palms every time she felt them.
That I’m slowly falling into a swamp of tension….
‘The longer I drag it, the more I have to lose.’
In the second, Seohyun closed her eyes and focused again, even though she had an eyepatch.
‘You can’t just block the attack and then run away. She keeps feeling what she’s doing.’
As she was concentrating like that, an arrow came flying.
Shoot evil!
Visor!
Cho Seo-hyeon blocked the arrow and deliberately did not move. She felt it in her ears. She realizes that Seongsuho’s bowstring is hesitant….
‘Shit… But what should I do? How did that person move so far? Before… And before… Yes?’
She pondered for a moment, and now she knew where she was.
‘Here… Isn’t that where we started earlier? And the place where the arrow flew right now….’
No matter how much Seong Soo-ho shot an arrow and wandered around, the place for the two to fight was limited.
Turning around, the two returned to where they had come from.
Cho Seo-hyeon jumped only once and missed Seongsuho most of the time, so she was able to be sure that it was the place where she was originally because she kept waiting for Seongsuho to attack again on the spot.
It was the last place she had been in her eyes before Cho Seohyun had an eyepatch.
Remember the problem.
‘If you run without jumping, you can catch up in an instant while defending. But the obstacle….’
As Cho Seohyun was worried about her distrust of her memories, someone’s words ran through her head.
(The important thing is the feeling of the hand. One sight is enough.)
(Get into the habit of believing everything you see.)
(It’s a story to believe in yourself. If you don’t believe in the eyes that illuminate your vision, other organs won’t work properly in the end. I think so.)
Cho Seo-hyeon made up her mind while recalling all those lines.
‘… Let’s do it!’
She shouted inwardly and ran to the spot where the arrow had come from.
It wasn’t a jump. She ran to him, remembering what Seong Soo-ho had said.
Arrows flew again.
Shoot! Shoot!
Visor! Visor!
As Cho Seohyeon lightly hit the flying arrow, she ran to Seongsuho.
It was a tremendous speed worthy of the title of a hero.
Clearly, if he encountered an obstacle like this, he would receive a great shock. Even tripping over a slightly protruding boulder will end in a sparring full of shame.
But she believed.
Remember….
Seong Soo-ho’s words….
Seohyun arrived at the place where Seongsuho was located in only 3 seconds, and she found him.
‘Shit! Could it be that he already ran away!?’
It was a moment when Cho Seo-hyun was overcome with despair, like a hunter who had fired her last bullet in vain.
‘Nope! No matter how you think about it, she shoots her bow well, but her feet are slow! Still nearby….
Thinking that it was her last chance, Seohyun calmly focused all her senses on her hearing….
I was able to find the sign that someone was hiding right next to me.
“Uh… Uh! There!”
“What!”
Wow!
Cho Seo-hyeon was afraid that Seongsu-ho would run away, so she threw her whole body at him and attacked him.
I hit Seongsuho like that, and I felt his body caught in my hand.
Cho Seohyun said she was still wearing an eyepatch, so she had no idea where she was holding her.
“Got it!”
“Wait a minute! Big!”
Seong Soo-ho let out a painful moan at Cho Seo-hyeon’s cry.
However, Cho Seo-hyeon was so happy that she twirled the part of her body she was holding and smiled and hummed.
“How about it? Do you get caught? Ah… Really annoying….”
“Now, wait… Cho, Instructor Cho Seohyun! Cow, give me your hand!”
“Yes?”
Seohyun took off his eyepatch with his left hand, which was not holding Seongsuho’s body.
“A… Why are you so strict….”
It was only after Seohyun took off his eyepatch that he could see what Seongsuho’s body he was holding.
“Uh… That… Uh….”
It was the first male genital that Cho Seo-hyeon, who did not know that he was a man all his life, caught it.
