Chapter 254 – Chapter 254 Hero Academy (3-61)
Seong Soo-ah was called to Yeriel’s office alone, and there she heard a request from Yeriel.
“Yeriel-sama, say it one more time….”
“The assistant instructor working with you, let him experience it in our VR capsule and extract some data.”
Yeriel sat at the fancy desk, tapping her fingers and waiting for Seongsuah’s answer.
However, Seong Soo-ah’s answer, which she thought would come soon, was not heard at all.
“It is a simple request. Just go and do a physical exam….”
“Sorry.”
“….”
Yeriel didn’t show it with her expression, but she was quite embarrassed.
The reason she was embarrassed wasn’t that Seongsu-ah didn’t listen to her.
‘Is it because you think you’re selling out your colleague? If not….’
As her Yeriel was looking at her, trying to figure out the psychology of her holy beast inside her, her holy beast opened her mouth and explained her.
“Yeah… It may not be a big deal, but I don’t want to fool Instructor Seong Su-ho that way.”
“Hmm….”
Yeriel closed her eyes and began to sink into her troubles.
‘Should I just pay attention? But that discomfort… There’s something reluctant about just passing on.’
The discomfort she felt from the first time she saw Sung Soo-ho was not enough to bother her.
But when she shook his hand with him, she felt her weirdness overtake her, the first time she felt that Yerriel was alive.
‘… It wasn’t malicious or good. It felt like being sucked in in an instant and swallowing everything.’
Rather, she would have been relieved if the evil or good intentions were clearly felt.
Her utterly incomprehensible sense tried to devour her Yeriel, and her Yeriel’s touch would not let go of her ignorant of the identity of her sense.
‘I wanted to try this capsule because it measures much more precisely….’
She didn’t really have much of a reason to have a capsule in the tower.
No matter how sophisticated the VR capsule was, it was impossible to accurately measure mana and magic.
However, she provided a prototype, saying that this VR capsule provided by Everycar supplemented that aspect.
Mana, magic, and even body measurements, which were considered possible but insufficient, have been described as much more precise than before.
‘No matter how you think about it, it’s awkward. I don’t want to just skip it….’
But even if she said she didn’t want to move on, Seongsu-ah showed such a stubborn rejection reaction that Yeriel couldn’t push hard either.
Seong Soo-ah was not an employee who listened unconditionally.
She was also a strong woman who valued her trustworthiness and would not give up her beliefs even when her boss ordered her to.
‘Did I become close with that assistant instructor right away?’
She didn’t have a consulate in Yerriel’s time, and she naturally didn’t even have her instructor service.
But she is in the tower. As she looked, she had a guess at what position the position of assistant instructor was.
Yeriel opened her mouth in her playful voice.
“Seeing you say that. You seem to like me quite a bit?”
“That… You are a very sincere person. And she’s great too.”
“….”
Sung Soo-ah’s reaction was not embarrassment, but joy.
‘No way? It can’t be. No… Even saying it’s not….’
After seeing her reaction, Yeriel, who inferred to herself, started talking straight to her heart, wanting to be sure of her.
“If she’s that good, is she good enough to join the Tower?”
“To be honest… After completing his service this year, I seriously want to ask him to re-evaluate at the Hero Association.”
“If you talk like that, would scouting in the tower be okay?”
“Oh! Are you really? You are really nice!”
“….”
Yeriel was sure.
‘Is it because of him that he became able to swim freely?’
It hasn’t been years since Yeriel got to know Seong Soo-ah directly.
Seongsuah’s upright character and character were recognized by others other than Yeriel, who was able to see through people well.
She only knew that she was swimming freely because of the man, but she was too early to judge that she had turned her eyes to another man.
‘This guy over there… This too… I only like guys I feel insecure about.’
Yeriel also knew of course that Seongsuah was engaged to her husband Cho Kanghyeon.
Kang Hyun Cho… Seong Soo-ho… Now, in Jeriel’s eyes, both of them were incomprehensible beings.
‘So, I need to find out more.’
Yeriel took her heart and said to Seongsuah.
“Then do you really need to listen to my request?”
“That, that….”
“Promise me. I never meant to harm you or anyone else. While I’m doing it, I want to test you too.”
“… ?”
Yeriel explained the VR device that came as her prototype this time to Seong Soo-ah, and she asked him to go in with Seong Su-ho and check it out.
..
..
‘Because Yeriel is not the kind of person who would lie….’
She was vague to say that it was a definite answer, but Yeriel said that if Seongsuho’s skills were to some extent guaranteed, she would be willing to join the tower.
Seong Soo-ah believed in Seong Soo-ho, and evaluated his skills highly.
‘I’m not doing anything wrong, right?’
No matter how much the tower was known in the world, it was a wizard guild, but that was the story when the inclination was right to the end.
If it doesn’t suit your taste, a large company is no different from a vicious small business.
‘… No, I’m sure you’ll like it.’
There was still a year left in the instructor’s service, but after it was over, I began to imagine the expression he was making when I proposed to Seong Su-ho.
His surprised expression and his smiling self.
Just imagining it made Sung Soo-ah smile happily.
Then she heard a voice beside her with her smile.
“Instructor Sung Soo-ah? Did you think of anything fun?”
“Yes? Ah, ahaha….”
He was asking her as Sung Soo-ho laughed.
Seong Soo-ah came to her senses and said to Seong Su-ho.
“I’m sorry. After thinking about it for a while….”
“What, are you sorry? But why are you here?”
“That is….”
Seong Su-ah explained that a new VR device had just been installed in the Ivory Tower, and she had been asked by the tower to try it out, so she came like this, she explained.
“But I’m bored because I’m coming here alone.”
“Aha.”
Sung Soo-ho smiled and approached the capsule.
Unlike the consulate, there were only 4 VR capsules, but they were enough for Seong Su-ah and Seong Su-ho to enter.
“Then would you like to join me?”
“Yes, of course.”
Seong Soo-ho approached Seong-su-ah and prepared to enter her VR capsule.
..
..
‘… I guess it’s a bit like that here.’
Seong Soo-ah, when she first went into VR, she had high expectations and went into virtual reality and started to try this and that.
The reason why I came in was because I had a desire to try various things in Seongsuho and Capsule.
But the VR capsules in the Ivory Tower were built primarily for training, and thanks to that, the software was all geared toward training.
All the two could do was mostly virtual training designed for wizards.
However, unlike Seong Soo-ah, who was disappointed, Seong Soo-ho was training with a smile.
“Wow… The capsule in the consulate was also great, but the capsule in the ivory tower seems to be much more elaborate.”
As Seong Su-ho said, it was stimulating the sensory organs higher than the great consulate’s capsule.
And what stands out is magic….
“Wow… I wonder how much of my magic can be measured?”
“Iknow, right. It’s in the early stages, but I didn’t set my mana in a special way, but it’s implemented to some extent.”
Seong Soo-ah forgot the disappointment she felt earlier and started to spend time training with Seong Su-ho.
‘Magic is a wind attribute, a thunder attribute. Brain properties? You wield very dangerous abilities….’
The new VR capsule recognized magic and mana, but in the end, accuracy and recognition were poor, so it could not be measured except for basic attribute magic.
‘Is this enough? I can’t do it anymore because I’m sorry.’
It was good to have VR training with Seong Soo-ho as it was, but she was recording everything that happened in this capsule.
The feeling of secretly spying on Seongsuho made me want to do more than this.
“Instructor Seong Soo-ho, thank you for coming with us. Shall we go out soon?”
“I really enjoyed it. By the way….”
“….?”
Seong Soo-ho muttered while looking at the hologram related to his body function.
“Maybe this is still for demonstration purposes, but the display is unstable except for magic.”
“….”
Apparently, the magic side was printed without any problems.
However, all data related to the body, such as muscle strength and flexibility, were output as if they were broken.
On the contrary, Sung Soo-ah’s data continued to fluctuate, but it was clearly marked well.
After that, she checked several more times, but the data of Seongsu Lake continued to break and cause errors.
‘….’
Seong Soo-ah arbitrarily erased Seong Su-ho’s recorded physical examination table.
“Uh? Instructor Sung Soo-ah, can I delete that?”
“Well… It’s probably a prototype, so there’s something wrong with the machine. I don’t think there’s anything good about keeping records like this for nothing.”
After Sung Soo-ah came out of her VR capsule, she broke up with Seong Su-ho.
“Then I have something to look at, so I’ll go.”
“Okay, then I’ll see you tomorrow.”
After they parted ways, Seong Soo-ah went straight to Yeriel’s office.
As she headed to her office, she pondered endlessly.
‘… Could it be that I erased it for no reason and misunderstood it?’
Seong Soo-ah, even herself, had doubts about why she acted like that.
If Seong Soo-ho was measuring at a place like the consulate normally and she got a record like that, she wouldn’t have put much importance on it.
Because errors can come from anywhere.
However, when Yeriel was currently paying attention to Seongsuho, she had such a measurement come out, so she unknowingly pressed her delete button.
‘First of all, let’s say that the measurement didn’t go well, but if you measure more later by checking the time, then it will come out well….’
Seong Soo-ah, determined to lie to her, holding on to her stabbed conscience, she entered Yeriel’s office.
After hearing Sung Soo-ah’s explanation, Yeriel nodded and said.
“Yeah, good job. Go in and rest.”
“That… I will measure more later when I have time.”
“Well, since it’s a prototype, there must be some problems. Great job.”
“Yes… Then I’ll see you tomorrow.’
Sung Soo-ah bowed her head as calmly as possible and left Yeriel’s office.
After confirming that Sung Soo-ah had left, Yeriel started muttering to herself.
“Why would a guy who can’t even lie hide so much….”
As Yeriel touched the floor of her desk, she began to check the body data extracted from Seong Suho.
“It was good that I recorded it while watching it earlier.”
The record was erased arbitrarily by Seong Soo-ah, but the screen showing the two of them in action was left intact in Yeriel’s office.
As Yeriel tapped her desk with her fingers, she looked at the data of Seongsuho carefully.
A strange feeling emanating from him, and a body that cannot be measured.
‘Strange…. I’ll save it for now and then go to Erica myself and ask.’
Yeriel moved all of her records from her server to her personal storage and then shut down her screen.
***
On the second day of the field trip, I met Seongsuah, her cadets, and the guards… And she ended up in the dungeon with Yeriel.
The cadets and guards, who were vulnerable to miasma, showed exhaustion shortly after entering the dungeon.
And I started to get tired of Yeriel’s eyes.
‘I think I’m going to get sick…’ .’
[….]
I didn’t do anything particularly suspicious, but I wondered why I was the only one looking at it.
‘Damn it, if only it hadn’t been for a handshake….’
[He seems like a very tactile person, so it’s highly likely that he sensed something even if it wasn’t a handshake.]
‘But I want to know why.’
Did you notice something about the monster affiliation? Or my skills? Or the Inseong who goes around women?
… The last one is a bit risky.
‘Ha… I do not know. Just do what I have to do.’
I looked back at the tired cadets and gave them encouragement.
And the cadet who stood out the most among them was definitely Seo Ji-eun.
‘Hey… That class that meditates even in the midst of this.’
Seo Ji-eun was alone and away from the other cadets, her eyes closed and she sat gracefully on a rock.
It was even amazing to see him exuding his dignity just by sitting there.
I approached cautiously and spoke to him.
“Are you okay?”
“… Yes.”
“If you are tired or tired….”
“Instructor.”
“Yes?”
Seo Ji-eun turned her head and opened her mouth with her graceful appearance.
“Never mind me.”
“Uh… Okay…. Sorry.”
I shouted at Armonia as if vomiting blood.
‘If it was Sutra, you would get 10 penalty points! Shit!!’
[….]
‘And I’m expelled after receiving all the penalty points for a month!’
While I was burning myself up like that, Sung Soo-ah came up to me with a fresh smile and started talking to me.
“Instructor Seong Soo-ho, are you okay?”
“Yes, I am fine.”
“You are amazing. I heard that it was the first time on a technical field trip. You are not affected by miasma at all.”
Seong Soo-ah gave me a compliment while she smiled brightly.
It was because of Sung Soo-ah’s smile that I was able to endure this even in the face of her little witch’s suspicious gaze and her disciple’s contempt.
And I thought while looking at her smile.
‘Heh… I want to fuck him quickly.’
[….]
