Chapter 250 – Chapter 250 Hero Academy (3-57)
Yeriel opened her mouth as she stared at the door of the principal’s office where the Seongsuho came out with her black eyes that widened endlessly.
“Who is that person?”
“I am an assistant instructor at the consulate.”
“….”
As Yeriel listened to the principal’s answer, she closed her eyes and sat calmly on the sofa in the principal’s office.
The headmaster sat directly across from him and bowed his head humbly.
“Sorry for making you visit again.”
“It’s okay. Please tell us the position of the school.”
“Yes…. I’m thinking of putting the field trip on hold due to the incident at the technical department this time.”
“….”
Most of the field trips were focused on cadets and large guilds.
Churches and towers tended to keep an eye on engineering cadets, but the cut-off was very high when accepting technical graduates because their main focus was different.
It was because the church focused on healers and the tower focused on wizards.
And that story meant that the part that the tower was concerned with was the field trip for the cadets, not the field cadets.
Also, since most of the visits to the magic department were organized by the tower, it was never a good situation for the tower to miss this opportunity.
However, due to a mistake that occurred in the church, there was a concern that the tower would be damaged, so Yeriel, the representative of the tower, visited in person.
Yeriel muttered quietly as she sat in her chair.
“At this level, can I understand that you are blatantly interfering?”
“… The Church would not do it on purpose.”
“We have not received any information yet. Could you tell me the inside story of the case?”
“Yes.”
The headmaster summarized the information from the church as much as possible without causing any problems and explained it to Yeriel.
It was a story that the heroes of the Order highly evaluated the skills of the cadets, and they entered a high-level dungeon and were attacked by assailants.
“… Just hearing that story clearly shows no intention.”
“Yes, from the standpoint of the church, there is no reason for them to act to damage their position.”
“Understood. But please don’t put off the visit to the magic department. Isn’t there a problem with the technical cadets who came to visit us this time?”
“Kuhm… I fully believe in Top’s ability, but….”
The consulate was attacked, the VR capsule was stolen, and the field trip, which had gone smoothly so far, also had problems.
Even if the principal was a hero, there was a sense of responsibility.
Since many incidents occurred in a short period of time, even the principal, who usually acts boldly, had no choice but to be reluctant.
‘The raid and theft are definitely the same guys, but… If the field trip was the work of the same guys….’
There was no guarantee that there would be no problems next time.
Those who are behind are always ahead of those who are being targeted.
“….”
After reading the principal’s expression, Yeriel asked again as politely as possible.
“I understand your position. But it’s something I have to do someday. There is no guarantee that doing it later will be safer.”
“Kuhm….”
In fact, what really mattered was solving the problem well rather than having it happen.
Cadets are beings who have already taken the first step towards eventually becoming heroes.
There was a problem with the cadets who went on a field trip with this church, but the cadets actually had a good experience becoming flesh and blood.
In addition, if there is a problem, it is true that the principal is at a disadvantage, but if he recklessly puts it on hold with the excuse that he does not want to take responsibility, there is a high possibility that the government will also speak out.
The principal of the consulate this time is a coward….
Seeing the principal still unable to make a decision, Yeriel made a suggestion considering his position.
“This time, I and the sages of the Tower will lead the cadets myself.”
“Yes, Miss Yeriel! Even so….”
It was the first time in his life as principal that he had shown such a surprised expression.
It was also a story that not only the head of her tower, but also beings on an equal footing with her stepped forward.
Hyeonseong (賢星).
Those who have the meaning of a wise star, they were equal to the tower’s head, Yeriel.
It consisted of a total of 6 people, and they were the ones who had risen to the top of the world with different magic.
“Yes, Miss Yeriel… You don’t have to go that far.”
“I said this to show that we value our cadets that much.”
T.O.P was in a situation where he had to work hard on recruiting against a small number of graduates from the magi department every year.
However, this was because if the event held at the beginning of the semester was delayed in this way, it could also disrupt the events that follow.
Even so, if someone who doesn’t know the internal circumstances sees it, Yeriel’s actions will not make sense at all.
It is because he thinks that a guild that is recognized in the world will rather treat heroes as a super power.
But the reality was different.
Churches, towers, guilds large and small….
The best resource for them was human resources.
Guilds that made a name for themselves in the past were often arrogant and indifferent to recruiting talent, leaving their guild names on record and disappearing.
That’s not to say that after the heroes came in, they were left undisturbed.
I feel responsible and work as much as I treat them well.
And if the heroes were treated like that and made a lot of money, they would not be able to turn their eyes to the lower guilds.
This was the reason why the guilds went on a rampage to catch the cadets who were just graduating.
It was because when catching a hero active in active duty, he would be subjected to enormous costs and big and small checks, but if he scouted cadets who had just graduated, he could instill a sense of belonging at a small cost.
“If there is a problem, I will take responsibility.”
“Big…. It is not a problem if there is a problem.”
“….”
“Please don’t hurt only the cadets.”
If you don’t get hurt, you can overdo it.
The headmaster thought it was okay to do anything as long as the safety of the cadets was guaranteed.
It was because I personally realized that hard and dangerous experiences eventually grow a hero.
“Let’s do our best.”
“Then please.”
“And….”
“… ?”
Her headmaster looked at her and focused on listening to her Yeriel’s words.
Yeriel, who had been looking at the principal bluntly, made another suggestion.
“I would like to take some of our children who are serving in the consulate.”
“… Okay. We’ll convene it later tonight and talk about it.”
That’s how it was decided to go ahead with the magic department tour.
***
As she walked down the aisle, she looked around at her new smartwatch.
‘As expected, the new ones are good.’
I smiled and listened to Armonia’s explanation.
[Yeriel. If the person matches the information I received, she is the head of the tower.]
‘He was obviously Korean. Her name is Yeriel….’
Seeing that the principal reacted right away and added respect, it must be the same person Armonia told me about.
It would have been nice to see her temperament, but if she was the head of the tower anyway, she would never have to face me again, so I decided not to care.
I went straight to the dormitory and dived into the bed.
‘Kuhh… I think I will live It feels like coming home from an overseas trip.’
[… ? Have you been traveling? I thought I liked being at home, but….]
‘Ah, a limited edition NTL game in Japan….’
[All right.]
‘….’
Bad gas… I was going to tell you what game it is.
I lay down on the pillow, stared at the ceiling, and thought to myself.
‘Flaw… It’s tough.’
Yesterday, I fucked Park Hee-yeon and Oh Jin-ho all day, then I had a bed with Yoon Ji-ah, and this morning, I mixed flesh again….
It felt like my body was running out of energy because I was much more tired and exhausted from what had happened during the day yesterday than from touring the lower dungeons.
But I just couldn’t close my eyes.
‘Should I eat lunch?’
I wasn’t particularly hungry, but if I went on another field trip tomorrow, I thought I wouldn’t have a chance to meet Seong Soo-ah and Cho Seo-hyeon.
‘Even if I don’t know about anything else, I should have a conversation with the two of them.’
No matter how likable the opponent is, there is no subordination, and you should never feel bothered about meeting two people.
That’s right, even if you subordinate them to each other, you won’t be neglected….
Above all, after this week, we will head to the long-awaited Stra.
From their point of view, they will wake up and see me as usual, but since there is a possibility that I will not see them for several weeks, I want to see them as much as possible right away.
I headed to the restaurant and saw Sung Soo-ah standing right in front of the restaurant door.
With her flowing hair, a neat casual suit, and her smiling face as she stood modestly, people passing by her unconsciously turned their heads and looked at her, regardless of her age or gender.
When I approached and tried to say hello, Seong Soo-ah greeted me by hitting the ball first.
“Have you been well?”
“Yes. Who are you waiting for?”
Even while I was coming, Seong Soo-ah stood in front of the restaurant door, waiting for someone.
Hopefully it’s not me
“Isn’t that too much? I’ve been waiting for you.”
“Ah… Sorry.”
This week and next week are busy schedules, so basically I felt like I couldn’t meet, so of course I thought it wasn’t me.
That’s how Sung Soo-ah and I entered the restaurant and started eating.
“Instructor Sung Soo-ho. Do you have time today?”
“Uh… I was told to wait in case I might be called later in the evening, and until then it’s time.”
What… You’re talking about doing an animal town, right?
However, Sung Soo-ah’s story was completely different from what I expected.
“Do you remember the cadet Seo Ji-eun I told you about the other day?”
“Ah… Did she ask to visit that once?”
I don’t know if it’s the body or the mind, but the cadet can’t use her magic properly.
She had talked about visiting the cadet’s house once.
However, because of the field trip, I was not in a situation to make time for it.
“Yes. It’s undecided, but I might go on a field trip tomorrow, and the person who came from the tower earlier asked me to go and ask for persuasion today.”
“Ah… I want to go too. The principal told me to wait.”
“Don’t worry about that.”
Seong Soo-ah lifted her eyes and smiled at her.
“I will tell you myself.”
..
..
I was heading to Seo Ji-eun’s house in Sung Soo-ah’s car.
Seong Soo-ah went straight to her principal after finishing her meal, explained her situation, and left the consulate with me.
At first, she knew how to say that Seongsu-a would take me with her because Seongsu-a had given her the position of instructor.
But it wasn’t until after she explained that she was able to clear up the misunderstanding.
“It seems that the TOP really values cadet Seo Ji-eun.”
“Yes. She values all of the cadets, but from the time she entered school, not only the tower but also the church had her eyes on her.”
“Her….”
Even Song-ah, who is now called an honor student, was not at that level.
At the point of the field trip to her Order, she is treated in her own way, even as a calf, but throughout her field trip, the attitude towards her in her Order did not seem much different from that of her regular cadets.
In fact, when she heard about Seo Ji-eun before, she thought she was just an honor student.
However, after hearing this firsthand, she had no choice but to evaluate her differently.
I took out Seo Ji-eun’s profile that I had brought with me and carefully looked at her picture.
‘I’ll have to read your profile some more.’
[It has already been recorded on our side anyway.]
‘Still… I have to pretend to see.’
It was disturbing to get hit by a woman’s car, but I hated it even more to do nothing and be awkward.
That was the moment I looked at the first chapter.
..
..
What a profit!
She opened her eyes and looked around her, startled by the sound of bars suddenly ringing in her ears.
“Huh?”
“Whoa, are you awake?”
“Uh… This is… ?”
I widened my musty eyes as much as I could and looked around.
A comfortable car, Seong Soo-ah looking at me with a fresh expression, a huge iron door visible through the front glass, and Seo Ji-eun’s profile in my hand.
‘… You slept.’
[That’s right.]
‘Since when have you been sleeping?’
[You fell asleep while looking at the name on your profile. He slept for about an hour.]
‘….’
It was kind of funny.
I immediately understood the situation and apologized to Seong Soo-ah, rubbing her eyes.
“Sorry. Sleep like this….”
“On the contrary, I am sorry. You’ve worked hard all week, but you can’t even rest properly because of me….”
“Please. Being with Instructor Seong Soo-ah is a break.”
“Oh….”
I was talking gibberish like I said in my sleep.
“Sorry. Making strange noises….”
“A… It’s okay.”
Unlike usual, Sung Soo-ah began to laugh and laugh.
‘As expected, talking nonsense in your sleep is effective at times like this.’
[….]
In the midst of such conversation, a large door opened, and I entered for the first time the mansion where the daughter of a wealthy family lives.
