Chapter 226 – Chapter 226 Hero Academy (3-33)
I listened to Armonia’s explanation while holding the sleeping Sung Soo-ah.
Zodiac has been struggling financially since I started this mission.
When I was barely living today and tomorrow, I snatched the viola from the hero and began to breathe.
It was only that he was able to breathe, and he was not in a situation where he had not been taken off the ventilator yet.
The problem is that because of me, Zodiac’s production of Enel is greatly disrupted.
‘Eh? What did I do?’
[It’s not that Suho did something himself. Do you remember that the double speed system is currently in operation?]
‘Yeah, the other world is still flowing slowly.’
In the world I am in, time passes normally, and in the world where I am away for a while, it progresses at 0.1x speed.
It’s good if I don’t use it, but my body is one.
The Zodiac side was giving me a double speed system to help me go smoothly on long-term missions.
The problem is that speed system….
‘Was using the double speed system consuming energy?’
[No. Are not consuming. There is a problem with production.]
‘… Ah! Could it be Stra?’
[That’s right. The best Enel producer owned by Zodiac is 0.1x… I have protested because this has been going on for too long.]
Zodiac was also allowing them to use the double speed system as they wished, thinking that it was an investment.
But, of course, Stra was one of the 0.1x speeds, and Stra was the best energy producer in the Zodiac that could never be left out.
At least, the continent of Illunia was completely in the hands of the demon king Guardia, and breathing was relieved, but all the intellectuals of Illunia were not yet in a situation to serve the demon king.
The method of collecting the energy emitted by living things is similar to the method of making a religious saint prosper.
The dean in Strah is a prime example.
Every human being in the world where Stray exists basically respects Ludwig Rieffenstein.
It would be similar to the sum of the famous saints of the world in which I lived.
And the feelings similar to that faith become the driving force to collect the energy generated from the intelligent body.
But 0.1 times….
The zodiac also deserved to be urgent.
The problem is that there is nothing I can do.
‘But I can’t go to Stra right now….’
Right now, my schedule was tight, so I was in a precarious situation.
I had to go to Yggdrasil after spending some time at the consulate, but it was a daunting situation to make time to come back to the consulate.
And Zodiac presented a solution to overcome the daunting situation.
[The Zodiac side is also aware of that. So I asked for a different way.]
‘What method?’
[It’s not just using low speed, but using high speed.]
The double speed system can increase the speed by 10 times or decrease the speed by 0.1 times.
Now, it was a proposal to set the world I was in at 10x speed, and the rest of the seat empty at 0.1x speed.
That is, the time difference is 100 times.
[In fact, I decided that there would be no problem using only low speed, but it seems that the situation has changed on the Zodiac side.]
‘If a client asks for it, you have to do it….’
Armonia also refrained from using double speed using high speed.
If double speed is used a lot, it is a system that may one day pass the initiative to the other side.
The reason why the Zodiac can use the double speed at will now is because it has not been used while enduring with evil, bullying, and pride.
Fortunately, he didn’t do anything stupid to hope for natural healing in the yard with a ventilator attached.
[I’ll have to do some more tuning, but I think you should consider going to Stra.]
‘Okay. If it’s important, I’ll do it.’
Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Luna in a long time….
It must have been about a week from Luna’s point of view, but I hadn’t seen it for about two months already.
As soon as the words came out, I thought that I would like to see them.
‘If that’s the case, I won’t have to worry too much about time.’
[Yes, if it becomes clear, I will tell you more later.]
‘Yeah, then I’ll sleep.’
[I hope you have a comfortable night.]
..
..
It wasn’t until Friday that I got the correct answer from the zodiac.
[After 3 weeks, you can go to Stra.]
‘Yeah, I’ll think about this for you too.’
The information sent from Zodiac was that the time on the side of the consulate, where Stra and I were, would flow tenfold.
And I’ve been told that from now on, I’ll fix the speed at 0.1x to provide a means to move freely where I’m away.
It’s comfortable this way and that, but in the end it’s about advancing future resources, so I’ve been told to do my best in the mission.
It meant that I could live as usual before going to Stra.
And at the same time that the ship speed was organized, the contents of the field trip were also confirmed.
“I will be going on a field trip to the church next Monday.”
“All right.”
I was given a list of cadets, and fortunately there was one I knew.
Song ara
Still, it was fortunate that one good listener was confirmed.
“After today’s class, the group leader will also meet and talk.”
“Are you the conference leader?”
It was the first time I had heard of it.
The leader knew that one assistant instructor was in charge of six students.
“Since the place we are going to is the church, they have instructed us to attach one member from the church.”
“Regress….”
“Come to think of it, haven’t you seen the people of the meeting?”
I may have seen it by chance while passing by, but I don’t remember seeing anyone in my memory.
“I see. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen the meeting because I didn’t attend the meeting.”
“The meeting is like that. How to say… Should we talk separately? It is managed by the church anyway, so the consulate treats it as a church.”
The school was managing not only the instructors and assistant instructors, but also all the internal staff from the guards to the church.
It was safe to say that the consulate’s security department was a completely different department from the consulate’s security department.
It was to the extent that it was written in the manual not to worry about it….
‘Well, didn’t it say that there were no guards in that area at all?’
[That’s right.]
It’s hard to see Kanghyun’s face….
“First… I’m suffering for about 2 weeks. Still, the kids from the high school are well-disciplined, so they will move quickly. It’s going to be a little difficult with the kids, but….”
Cho Seo-hyeon secretly showed pride in technology and began to show off.
Looking at Cho Seo-hyun like that, I smiled and asked.
“Then, will you meet the group leader on Monday?”
“No. I’ll meet you in the principal’s office after class later this afternoon.”
“All right.”
I listened to the explanation and finished the technical class.
..
..
Lunch hour… It was the most difficult time.
“….”
“….”
Recently, with Cho Seo-hyun intervening, it naturally turned into a place for the three of them to eat together.
Even though Seong-Soo-Ah and Cho-Seo-Hyeon were uncomfortable, she didn’t back down at all and she ate three meals a day with me.
Actually, from my point of view, I didn’t hate eating with two people.
It’s enough to just skip it and eat it.
The problem is the relationship between the two….
‘I need to do something….’
[Obviously not a good thing.]
But she didn’t have the right way to come to mind.
I can’t just declare that I will eat alone….
In the midst of opening a spoonful of rice like that, my eyes caught a scene of a person holding a tray and putting food in it.
‘Okay! That’s him!’
[… ?]
I cautiously opened my mouth to Cho Seo-hyun and Seong Soo-ah.
“Ah, I think we’ll have to eat lunch separately starting tomorrow, just in case.”
“Yes!? Why!?”
“Uh, what happened….”
People around us all looked at us at Cho Seo-hyun’s loud voice, and Seong Soo-ah’s puzzled expression aroused people’s curiosity.
It’s a mistake.
We’ll talk later….
The guy who was putting rice on the plate from afar saw me, and he was startled and covered his face with his hands and started running.
I could see that he was trying to be invisible to me as much as possible.
‘Even running away is too much of a chore….’
I saw Go Chung-sin running away and looked at Seong Soo-ah and Cho Seo-hyeon again.
After waiting for the eyes of the people around her to clear again, she opened her mouth.
“I’m working as a manager, and I thought I’d have to eat at least with the guards.”
“No, I don’t have to….”
“Okay. Wouldn’t that make them uncomfortable?”
First of all, I’m uncomfortable in this place….
I calmed down my dissatisfaction and persuaded them as much as I could.
Eating is just one part of my routine anyway, and more than anything, I apologized while blaming myself.
“I think the two of you are uncomfortable because of me.”
“No… That is….”
“It’s not like that….”
The two did not refute whether they were stabbed.
Fighting pride is an important fight in life for the people involved, even if it looks stupid on the outside.
It’s not a big deal, but if you lose in a battle of pride, the feeling of humiliation spreads all over your body.
What Seohyeon Cho and Suah Seong are doing right now will be closer to fighting than fighting to take away love.
And that doesn’t do me any good….
But now we have to come out strong.
In particular, I thought that the opportunity came even more because the situation came where I could give a reason.
After such an awkward lunch, Cho Seo-hyeon glanced at me with her sad eyes and went back to the technical office, and I, along with Seong-su-ah, headed for the Ma department classroom.
Seong Soo-ah looked at me and started to apologize to her.
“Sorry… I just made it uncomfortable….”
“Oh, it’s not like that. I said it because I really thought it was important to talk to the security guards. And above all….”
“… ?”
“I did it because I felt sorry for Instructor Seong Soo-ah’s discomfort.”
“Ah….”
Sung Soo-ah was looking up at me with a hearty smile.
There is only one thing I can do
‘Playboy strategy!’
[….]
First of all, I’m sorry for the two of them, but I had to create a situation in which they had to eat separately while talking to the two of them after cheering them up even with a joke.
“Instructor Cho Seo-hyeon doesn’t come in the morning, so we eat breakfast comfortably together. I’ll have dinner with Instructor Seohyeon Cho. Still a colleague You have to care.”
“Still, you don’t have to eat uncomfortable with your sister….”
“It is a job. And….”
“… ?”
“Even if we don’t have dinner together, we can meet at night.”
“Ah! Uh, that’s right….”
Seong Soo-ah understood my meaning and immediately smiled.
..
..
I escaped the situation by saying something similar to Cho Seo-hyun.
“Well, he does bother me.”
Haha….”
And Cho Seohyun also understood.
She thought it was important to ease her mood by skillfully taking one side.
“… I’ve been acting like a child too. Sorry.”
“It’s nothing to apologize for. Rather, I should apologize.”
“… Huh.”
Cho Seo-hyun snorted and smiled.
Then she asked me if it came to her mind.
“By the way, have you been to the principal’s office?”
“No. Rather than that, I thought it was more important to talk to Instructor Cho Seo-hyeon first.”
Hehe…. Go, go.”
She went to the principal’s office as she heard Seohyun’s characteristic laugh in the beginning.
First of all, the relationship between Cho Seo-hyun and Seong Su-ah seemed to have been put to rest.
Fortunately, the timing was good.
For now, I was able to get out of lunch with the guards making excuses.
Sung Soo-ah in the morning and Cho Seo-hyun in the afternoon.
If you eat like that, it’s just right.
The only regret was the fact that I had to leave the consulate for a while.
‘It’s kind of like this… It’s too good to just leave behind the grievances….’
He’s a guy who doesn’t know what he’s going to do while I’m gone.
There….
‘It’s so much fun playing with him!’
[….]
To be honest, it was so painful to think that I might not see you for two weeks.
‘I think I’ll miss Chungshin so much!’
[….]
As I was contemplating whether I should stop by the consulate every weekend and harass them, a brilliant idea came to my mind.
‘… Wouldn’t it be possible to ask a question?’
[What are you talking about?]
‘Security… Can I ask for one person to accompany me?’
Who am I?
Guard and manager
He is a man with more than enough power to ask!
..
..
“Hmm… Not bad, but….”
“This is what I said because I thought it would be of some help.”
“….”
The headmaster heard me and began to think, tapping his big fingers on the desk.
My comment was simple.
The idea was to have a security guard accompany the cadets on their field trip.
It was a story about bringing a small number of people, if not many people, to help the cadets’ safety even a little.
And the most important thing was trust.
Since a large number of new guards were hired, I said with the intention that it would be good for the assistant instructors to observe them from the side and make sure they are good people.
“There are rumors that there may have been an insider among the last guards. This time, I thought it would be good to have an assistant instructor watching from the sidelines to see if he was a trustworthy person.”
“Well….”
The principal closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then he looked at me with intense eyes and said.
“Good. Once 3 people. We will select three people for each leader.”
“Then the number of people… ?”
“Can I please?”
“Yes, I will select the number of people and submit the list.”
Haha… You picked the right guards and managers.”
The principal gave me a good evaluation with a smile.
I don’t know if that’s true….
The principal laughed, then looked at the clock and put on a puzzled expression.
“This… The instructor of the class is late. Maybe it’s because the class is getting longer….”
Clap!
Behind me, the sound of someone entering and an urgent female voice echoed through the principal’s office.
“Sorry!”
“Ah, you are here.”
The principal looked behind me and smiled brightly.
I didn’t really look back and waited for the woman to come towards me.
That’s how I felt the presence of a person standing next to me, and the woman began to apologize to the principal and me.
“Sorry! While answering questions from the cadets….”
Haha, I should apologize for calling you too early.”
“Ugh… Sorry.”
Only then did I turn my head and look at the woman.
A woman who apologizes to me.
“Sorry….”
“….”
I recognized her at a glance.
