Chapter 218 – Chapter 218 Hero Academy (3-25)
“Well… There is none.”
Before she accessed Woo O Re (Watch of Legends), she expected Seong Soo Ah to exist, but it was marked as offline in her friends window.
I kind of wanted to see her face.
“I can’t help it. Let’s connect to Warorna for now.”
If she connects and there is no Saint Blue, she just shuts down and goes to sleep.
Fortunately, the first misfortune did not happen.
The only friend in the friend window of the Woore game account was marked as online.
It wasn’t even when I was playing the game.
I immediately tried talking to Saint Blue.
“What are you doing?”
(Ah… Ah, hello….)
Well, it was a very different atmosphere than usual.
Although it wasn’t long before we met….
(…It’s been a while.)
“Yes, I have work. Is there anything wrong with you?”
(Ah… That’s….)
It seemed that there was a limit to talking with friends, not in the situation of using the same waiting room.
And I want to know more about her….
I immediately asked for admission to her waiting room.
Perhaps seeing the request message I sent, Saint Blue let out a puzzled voice.
(Ah….)
“It’s good to see and talk to people in person.”
After hearing my words, Saint Blue pondered for a moment, and then accepted my request.
..
..
“I don’t know the exact details, but it sounds like a bad situation.”
“Yes….”
Saint Blue explained the situation in as much detail as possible without directly revealing personal information.
She said she had the same job as her boyfriend.
However, my boyfriend recently had an important mission, and there was a problem with the mission, so he would be disciplined.
Fortunately, she heard that it’s not a big punishment because she has a track record, but she says she can’t even talk on the phone, let alone meet her boyfriend.
“I think we can meet once the punishment is over. I went to work today and waited, but I couldn’t exchange a word….”
“This… It must have been difficult.”
I couldn’t understand.
A guy called Bug Killer. Looking at the game alone, he seems like a bitch. What do you like about a guy like that, so he hangs around with a girl like this?
Saint Blue puts on her cape and gives off a spooky atmosphere, so she looks like an announcer just by looking at her face….
Her first impression is scary.
The evaluation of the bug killer that I feel was the bug itself.
Considering what she did to Cho Seohyun, she couldn’t possibly evaluate anything other than that.
Unless the bug killer saves my life, that guy will be a bug for the rest of my life.
“First of all, the disciplinary action is a personnel appointment, but I think the work place will probably be changed. So I applied as well.”
“Ah….”
Don’t follow me….
Just fall….
I don’t know what the hell a woman like this is missing, why she follows a guy like that.
‘… I want you to look good. Crumple it like a face in midsummer.’
[….]
‘Come to think of it, that bastard in the middle of summer was handsome even when he was wrinkled like that. Let’s go….’
A fucking selfish gene….
After all, St. Blue goes to her job despite it being a Saturday, but says she hasn’t met her boyfriend.
However, he said that he did not want to fall asleep in a depressed state, so he logged on to the game and found me even if he was in a mood.
But she logged on like that, but she couldn’t see me, so she ended up sitting alone in the waiting room, thinking about other things.
“Forgive me for being late.”
“A… I was waiting alone.”
“Although it’s very late, shall we try at least one match?”
“Yes, I like it.”
Saint Blue’s voice wasn’t as cheerful as usual, but it loosened up in the middle of the game, and by the time I went to bed, it had changed to a bright voice that seemed to put aside my worries.
As expected, Yeonseung seemed to have the taste of mulberry that relieved his mood.
..
..
As soon as I woke up, I headed straight to the restaurant.
As it was a Sunday morning, the restaurant was not empty, so it was full.
There will be no classes anyway. It seemed like there was no need to force myself to eat breakfast.
Actually, I was also very annoying, and the reason why I came to the restaurant despite such annoyance was because of Sung Soo-ah.
If it were her, she’d be sure to come over for breakfast.
‘Have you collapsed from exhaustion? I’m not coming….’
I was going to contact you the day before, but it was already dawn when I arrived at the dormitory.
In addition, she said that she knew Seongsu and entered the dormitory before me, so I thought she must be sleeping, so she didn’t call me separately.
‘It’s awkward to talk on the phone with Seong-soo….’
[Didn’t you talk to Seohyun Cho?]
‘I did it because I had to ask after him then.’
She saved Seong Soo-ah and the reason she called Cho Seo-hyeon on the phone was that she knew Seong-soo and that she was threatened by a monster creature, so she decided that she would be distraught, so she called Cho Seo-hyeon on her phone.
And as a result, now, if she was asked to talk to Seohyun on the phone, she would be able to call without much thought, but Seongsuah seemed to be reluctant to call if she had no business.
On the other hand, in VR, it wouldn’t be awkward at all with Sung Soo-ah….
And she was going to text me, but she couldn’t even do it in the end.
I thought it would be embarrassing if I woke up to a text message….
‘Should I text you right now?’
[How about calling at this time?]
‘Ah, I’m embarrassed.’
[….]
What? Is it an illusion to feel disgust in the silence?
While I was personally tasting (?) The silence of Armonia, someone tapped my back.
I turned around to check the other person right away and greeted them with a bright smile.
“Hello.”
It was Sung Soo-ah.
She’s definitely Seongsu….
It was not the usual Seong Soo-ah with a fresh smile, but a slightly haggard expression that seemed to be smiling with difficulty.
However, it was at a level that was hard to recognize unless you saw it often.
Seongsuah smiled and said to me.
“What a relief. I was really worried.”
“Sorry. I have a situation….”
I gave the same explanation as I did to Cho Seo-hyun, and Seong Soo-ah, who heard the explanation, immediately replied with a smile.
“It’s okay. From now on….”
“… ?”
“Call me if anything happens.”
Seong Soo-ah was staring at me intently, waiting for her answer.
It looked quite different from the expression she had shown me so far.
‘What? Is it because I’m tired?’
[Suho, this….]
Armonia showed Sung Su-ah’s temperament in front of me, and there were two things I saw for the first time in her temperament.
-[Obsession], [Envy]-
I didn’t even think about it.
It’s not someone else, but Sung Soo-ah is obsessive and jealous….
‘What? When?’
[What is certain is that it was not until the time of the attack.]
‘But who is the target? Me? Super strong?’
I didn’t know the intermediate situation at all, so I couldn’t understand.
When I was concentrating on my temperament, Sung Soo-ah came up to me and put her hand on my forehead and whispered,
“Are you sick somewhere?”
“Oh no! Sorry. We will contact you right away next time.”
“… Please do.”
Seong Soo-ah showed me a fresh smile as usual and took me into the restaurant.
..
..
If there is anything I felt after eating her meal with Sung Soo-ah….
‘… Isn’t it an illusion?’
[Looking at her as a third person, I don’t think I’m mistaken.]
The fact is that something has changed in her.
The restaurant table was a structure in which rectangular tables were connected in a long way so that you could have a conversation with the person across from you.
Originally, when Seong Soo-ah and I had a meal, she tended to sit across from me.
Sung Soo-ah, who was like that….
“Today’s Instructor Seong Soo-ho’s favorite lunch.”
Haha….”
She was sitting right next to him.
There were not many people, so there was no reason to be bad.
The problem was that if I had acted like this when I didn’t know anything, I would have said I liked it and moved on, but it was quite embarrassing for me to know that her temperament had changed.
First of all, you need to know exactly who the object of jealousy or obsession is….
[Anyone can see that he is obsessed with Suho.]
‘….’
Yes, he saved me from a dangerous situation, but… Is it worth being so obsessed with?
She didn’t think that Seongsuah would be too attached to such a thing since she had lived her own heroic life.
She must have saved her colleagues and helped her quite a bit….
While I was thinking deeply about the cause of my temperament, Armonia thought of one thing and spoke over the communication.
[Perhaps… I think I saw what happened with Cho Seo-hyun on the rooftop yesterday.]
‘….’
That situational drama?
In fact, she said it was a situational drama, but she worked hard in her own way and watched Seohyun’s archery from the sidelines.
Even though I knew nothing about archery, I just taught her for the fun of touching her body.
Normally, Lena could have sensed it, but….
[I wonder if she didn’t notice because she had Lena on standby in her warp cape in preparation for her situation.]
If it was really Seong Soo-ah that made her obsessive and jealous after seeing it, she could say it was a pretty big step forward.
It’s because he prepared an opportunity to slowly enter Seong Soo-ah’s heart, which was difficult to get into her.
However, there is no law that says that it is always a good direction for her.
‘If that’s real, that’s a really good situation. There’s a problem….’
[What’s the problem?]
When Armonia asked a question, Seong Soo-ah, who happened to be next to her, turned her head and looked at me with a worried expression.
“Are you sick somewhere? You haven’t even eaten a spoonful of rice.”
“No, thanks.”
I smiled as much as I could and started eating.
After staring at me helplessly, Sung Soo-ah whispered as quietly as possible so that the people around her could not hear.
“If not… Are you uncomfortable with me by your side?”
“Ah, no way.”
“That’s fortunate. I made a sound. Please eat.”
Seongsuah was looking at me with a smile.
It was a brief moment, but Sung Soo-ah’s eyes reflected in my eyes made me feel slightly scared.
..
..
As soon as she finished eating breakfast, she suggested that I play Animal Town right away.
It was very early for the game, but I immediately agreed to her words.
Even though Cho Seo-hyeon contacted me to meet before the game started, I apologized and postponed it to the next time.
‘Today, I have to match Seong Soo-ah unconditionally.’
[Personally, I see moderate obsession and jealousy positively, but….]
‘Right. It’s best if it’s suitable.’
But the best way to know if it’s right is to look inside.
But practically, that’s impossible.
At least it can be glimpsed through a dream, but… Because that’s not perfect either.
Is he really obsessed with me, is it affection, or is it just companionship….
‘But if that goes too far, it becomes really dangerous.’
It’s over at that moment when you go beyond just ordinary obsession.
Beyond mission-critical failures, bigger ones arise.
That is the problem with Sung Soo-ah.
Now I am not in a position to look at only one woman for the rest of my life.
Even if Seong Soo-ah’s feelings for me are not affection, she should always assume the situation in which she leaves her side.
“Let’s connect first.”
After wearing the VR headgear, I logged on to the game and woke up in the center of the animal village.
Next to me was Sung Soo-ah, who was looking down at me with a bright smile.
“This is our first time connecting like this in the morning, right? I love it.”
Clearly, Sung Soo-ah was looking at me with a benevolent smile.
I couldn’t feel it at all now, but the smile she showed me at her restaurant earlier was definitely different.
Looking at her holy beast’s smile, I smiled at her at the same time.
“It’s nice that I’ve been online for the first time in a while.”
Looking at her, she thought to herself.
‘There’s no way Seong Soo-ah will become a yandere… There’s nothing wrong with her being careful.’
I took her holy water child’s hand and started playing her game.
***
A spotlight was shining in the middle of the dark space.
And in the center of that spotlight, there was only one person sitting on a chair.
And the man shouted as he looked back at the dark space where there was no reflection around him.
“Do not be ridiculous! Why should I do that!”
But after the man’s cry, voices came from the darkness where no one seemed to be there.
“Trouble… When you think of the mistakes you made, we also made a lot of accommodations.”
“Because of you, we could have surpassed our failure and exposed the fact that we did it.”
“Yeah, your skills have been of great help to us. It has crossed that line.”
In the darkness, the conversation of several men continued to be heard.
They told Koh Chung-sin in a way that considering the mistake of this mission, it was very convenient.
However, Go Chung-sin snorted at the words of the beings in the dark and muttered.
“Do not be ridiculous…. Why did I do that!”
“One year!”
“Oh….”
Go Chung-shin flinched at the loud, low-pitched voiceheheard from beyond the darkness.
It was different from the voices I had heard until now.
The man who had been shouting earlier lowered his voice and recited his words as if humming.
“I will infiltrate the Hero Academy as a spy for a year, and if you follow my orders well, I will give you the position of leader.”
“!!”
At the same time, Go Chung-shin made a surprised expression, and conversations began to flow like waves even in the dark.
Go Chung-sin cleared his expression and frowned.
“That word… Is that true?”
“Then… However, keep in mind that this is a story about when you faithfully carried out your mission without getting caught.”
Gochongxin closed his eyes for a moment and thought quietly, then he opened his mouth.
“Ha… I knew. At the expense of the consulate… Let’s sneak in.”
