Chapter 260 – Chapter 260 Hero Academy (3-67)
Seongsuah, who had been holding me for a while and was moving on the wind, stumbled at some point, and then she carefully landed and began to breathe.
Haha, ha, ha….”
“Instructor Sung Soo-ah! Are you okay?”
Seong Su-ah was breathing hard and showing her current condition with her pale face.
The magic he used earlier also consumed quite a bit of mana, but the magic he used to escape a while ago was consuming so much mana that it boasted the worst efficiency among them.
I just wondered if Seongsu had a lot of mana, so she used it leisurely, but as it turned out, she wasn’t like that.
She saved herself from a crisis situation by drawing all of her remaining mana into herself.
‘If you think about it, if she had enough mana in the first place, she wouldn’t have been so driven.’
[Since this is an urgent situation, I will put Lena on standby.]
‘… Please do that.’
I hate to wake Lena from her sleep, but it’s worse if she dies.
It would be nice if she didn’t call if possible, but she decided to have Lena on standby just in case the worst happened.
Fortunately though, thanks to her magic of Seongsuah, she was definitely able to distance herself.
Now, I couldn’t hear a single cry, let alone the sound of his footsteps.
First of all, the getaway proved to be perfect.
Now was the moment to face the real problem.
“Ha, ha, ha.”
“Instructor Seong Soo-ah, catch your breath first.”
Seong Su-ah was caught in her mana and her exhaustion, and it seemed that my words could not properly reach her ears.
Rough breath, white face, and….
‘Black bra….’
[….]
Seong Soo-ah’s shirt, which was getting wet with cold sweat, gradually began to see through.
She wasn’t wet as if she had been hit by a shower, but she couldn’t help but be excited to see the woman’s clothes, which had given off a neat atmosphere until now.
But she wasn’t in the mood to let her cock run wild.
I carefully carried Seong Soo-ah, who couldn’t even answer her simple questions properly.
“Sissha.”
“Oh..Haha, I’m alone..Haha….”
“I’ll take you outside somehow. Get up.”
Haha….”
Seong Soo-ah subtly nodded her head at my words and began to relax after she was placed on my back.
No, she felt weak.
Seong Soo-ah passed out while pinning her big breast seal on her back.
‘The boarding pass has been confirmed. I’m leaving.’
[….]

“_—__-!!”
The screams of the monstrous creatures reverberated through the cave and were sucked into Seo Ji-eun’s ears.
‘As it is….’
Sneaking in a corner of the cave, she carefully recalled what had happened earlier.
While following Instructor Seong Su-ho, she was able to meet another group of students.
She learned that Seong Su-ah was in her danger, and Seong Su-ho left her post quickly after asking another instructor of hers to take care of her cadets in the name of helping her.
The problem was then.
‘Even if it’s an instructor, not everyone is like him.’
The instructor, who was leading her, was horrified by the group of strange creatures that suddenly jumped out, and then began to use her magic as if thinking only of her own safety.
His hurried attitude of just running away without a single instruction led to a chaos among the students, and eventually it even spread to the worst situation.
‘… Did I step out for nothing?’
Seo Ji-eun used her magic because she wanted to be of some help to the other cadets rather than her own life.
It definitely helped her in the beginning.
It was because Seo Ji-eun’s magic was at a level that could penetrate her monster’s anti-magic power to some extent.
The problem was that in the middle of the battle, he started having seizures again.
Her own shadow had begun targeting her cadets, not the monstrous creatures.
Seo Ji-eun lamented as she felt an invisible shadow in the darkness.
‘I’d rather just attack me…’ .’
The reason Seo Ji-eun is afraid of going to the consulate isn’t because she’s afraid she’ll get hurt.
She was afraid of harming others.
She squatted on her floor, buried her arms and head in her lap and murmured.
“Father… Mother… Please tell me what to do….”
It was a moment of crying as she missed her missing father and her sickbed, vegetative mother.
“_—_——!!!”
“Oops!”
Perhaps she had mistakenly sensed her own words leaking out of her mouth, and she could feel her monstrous creature running towards her.
Seo Ji-eun whispered softly while holding her hand.
“Please…. Even if it’s just for a little while….”
It was the moment Seo Ji-eun prepared to use her magic by drawing out her mana.
However, the flow of mana was disturbed at some point, and the same seizure as before began to show signs of happening again.
‘Please….’
However, the mysterious creature did not wait for Seo Ji-eun’s time to concentrate.
Spotting her just a short distance away, her monstrous creature started running towards her, screaming at her.
“Like this….”
Seo Ji-eun gave up on her and loosened her arms, she thought as she looked at the shadow that was out of her control.
Her shadow’s gaze was directed at herself, not her monstrous creature.
“I didn’t want it to end this way….”
It was the moment when she closed her eyes and gave up everything.
Paaang! Kwajik!
“-___——!!”
“Yes?”
The monstrous creature that was running was pierced by the yellow light, and collapsed on the spot.
Thenheheard footsteps and voices approaching him.
“Are you okay?”
“Hey, wait!”
Since she was in a sudden situation, Seo Ji-eun began to worry that the person who helped her would be attacked by the shadow rather than the fact that she had received help.
“You can’t come now!”
“Yes?”
The shadow of Seo Ji-eun, who was glaring at her next to her, suddenly armed herself with blades and turned her attention to her opponent who helped her and began to run at her.
Seo Ji-eun, watching her, tensed her whole body and tried her best to retrieve her shadow.
‘Please! Please!!’
It was because she never wanted to harm the person she saved.
However, the mana entering her shadow was already out of Seo Ji-eun’s control.
The more she concentrated, the more Mana began to sneer at her call.
“No!!”
However, while watching the shadow of Seo Ji-eun rushing at him, the opponent only made a strange expression as if he was seeing her aurora.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen it, it’s a strange ability.”
“Uh?”
Softly….
The shadows scattered like dust and disappeared before they even reached the other person.
‘Stop, no way…’ Is it under control?’
Seeing her own shadow disappear like dust, Seo Ji-eun mysteriously began to stare at the man across her shadow.
It wasn’t until she got right in front of her that she knew exactly who she was dealing with.
“Cadet Seo Ji-eun?”
“West… Instructor Seong Su-ho?”
“Yes, it is me. But why are you here alone?”
“That… That is….”
Seo Ji-eun said that she couldn’t answer properly because she was weak because of what had happened just a moment ago.
But while she hesitated, she began to create shadows again, as if the mana had gone mad and was out of her control.
It’s also behind Seongsuho….
She was at the moment when her own shadow emerged from behind the holy guardian and was about to swing a blade at him.
“Instructor! In the back!”
“The more I look at it, the more amazing it is.”
“Uh… ?”
Softly….
This time, without a doubt, the shadows turned to powder and disappeared.
Seong Soo-ho approached Seo Ji-eun, who was making a puzzled expression, and asked.
“Are you okay? Are there any injuries?”
“That… That is….”
Seong Soo-ho asked him how he was doing and gently laid the being lying on his back to the ground.
“Seongsu-ah… Instructor?”
“Yes, she lost her mind because she used too much mana. Are you better than that?”
Seong Soo-ho approached Seo Ji-eun as if the situation that had just happened was no big deal and started asking how she was doing.
Seo Ji-eun said that as soon as Seongsu-ho approached, her tension was released and she almost collapsed on the spot.
“Ah….”
“Ugh!”
But just as she was about to sit down, Sung Soo-ho grabbed her and held her in her arms behind her, asking her how she was doing with a worried expression.
“Where are you hurt? Say….”
“I’m sorry. I’m relieved….”
But apart from her relaxation, the mana inside her started to work again.
A shadow was created behind Seongsuho, who was holding him.
The shadow swung the blade at Sung Soo-ho from behind as if not to miss it this time.
“Ah… Ah!”
“It’s okay.”
“… Uh?”
Softly….
Again, the shadows were vanishing in vain.
At the same time, Seong Soo-ho put his hand on Seo Ji-eun’s forehead and whispered quietly.
“Don’t worry about me, stay calm. It could be that I can’t control it because of my urgency.”
“Ah….”
Seo Ji-eun closed her eyes and calmed her heart as Sung Soo-ho said.
She didn’t mean to try something like before.
The warm warmth felt from the palms of the Holy Suho calmed his body.
After several tens of seconds, Seong Soo-ho let go of her hand and carefully raised Seo Ji-eun.
“Are you feeling better?”
“… Yes.”
Seo Ji-eun felt her comfort, which she had forgotten almost her entire life, as she looked at him.
The mana that had been fluctuating inside her calmed down before she knew it, and no more shadows were created beyond her control.
The shadow under Seo Ji-eun’s feet just moved along with her body.
‘… He’s a strange person.’
Her first memory of him was of her secretly looking at herself.
No one owned the classroom, but the feeling of secretly watching it didn’t feel too good.
But one day she came home, and she persuaded herself to come on her field trip.
She was there and she tried to fulfill her responsibility for him.
And the thing that moved her the most was the comfort he felt.
But that comfort didn’t make things any better.
Seong Soo-ho confirmed that she was stable, and began to tell her story while carrying her Seong-su-ah on her back.
“Let’s get out of here quickly. There’s a dangerous guy running around here right now.”
“Are you a dangerous guy?”
“That is….”
It was the moment Seong Su-ho started to explain something.
Beep….
“!”
“… Ugh, that’s a surprise.”
A light was leaking from the smartwatch on his wrist, and a call was coming in.
Although it rang in a small voice, the sound of the bell ringing in the dungeon was enough to create a scene in a horror movie.
Seong Soo-ho immediately raised his wrist to identify the caller.
“Ah, it’s Yeriel. Wait a moment….”
Seong Soo-ho whimpered while holding Seong Soo-ah and started a conversation after answering the phone.
“Hello?”
(That’s me. Are you okay?)
“Yeah, it’s fine for now. Situation….”
Seong Soo-ho reported to Yeriel about what happened with Seong Soo-ah and how he met Seo Ji-eun.
However, Sung Soo-ho did not mention the fact about the magic attack.
(Can you find the location I said in the current state?)
“Well… If we summarize Yeriel’s words and guess… Yeriel-nim, if you turn 70 degrees to the right from the current direction, there seems to be a possibility that we will meet.”
(…If you really go and meet them, I’ll give you a really big reward.)
Haha….”
(Think of it as a bet of sorts.)
It seemed like a word to change the atmosphere, but the effect was good.
Saying that, Yeriel hung up the phone.
Seong Soo-ho let out a sigh of relief as he finished talking to Yeriel.
“Still, it is fortunate that we can communicate with each other inside the dungeon. Come on, let’s go.”
“That….”
“… ?”
Seo Ji-eun opened her mouth while watching Seong Su-ho, who was going to lead her.
“Just now… Why didn’t you tell me about the seizure?”
“… That is none of my business.”
“….”
Seo Ji-eun put on a sullen expression as she was disappointed in his words.
It was because it sounded like Seo Ji-eun’s seizures had nothing to do with him.
However, Seong Soo-ho did not look back at her and opened her mouth while walking in front of her.
“My job is to solve problems when a cadet has them. I’m not going to be an instructor to talk about that shame all over the place.”
“Ah….”
“Come on, let’s go quickly. I can’t stay here for long.”
“… Yes.”
Seo Ji-eun smiled and started following Seong Su-ho.
