Chapter 368 – Chapter 368 Hero Academy (4-9)
Cho Seo-hyeon quietly whispered as she looked into Seong Soo-ho’s arms.
“… Are you sleeping?”
Cho Seo-hyeon laughed faintly at Seong Su-ho, who did not move at all despite his whispers, and began to quietly escape from his arms.
The moment Cho Seo-hyeon slipped out of his armshehesitated and sighed.
“..Haha, I don’t want to go.”
When you step out of the blanket in the middle of winter, you feel the chill.
It was a feeling that the warmth that had been embracing in the heart, not the physical chill, escaped in an instant.
Just a few days ago, Cho Seo-hyeon thought that men’s arms were the exclusive property of weak, shy women.
Cho Seo-hyeon felt the sense of loss flooding in just by escaping from the arms of the man who cherished her.
“… I have changed a lot too.”
Cho Seo-hyun smiled and slowly began to change her clothes.
After she had changed her clothes, she checked the digital clock on the wall.
02:24
Cho Seo-hyun, who has to escape the warmest and happiest place at a time when the cold of dawn covers the world.
However….
“… Let’s go.”
In the second, Seohyun saw Seongsuho fidgeting, and she smiled bitterly and left his room.
It wasn’t until she came out into the hallway that she muttered, straining her voice from a quiet whisper.
“Because it would be really annoying if cadets or other instructors found out….”
Her instructor’s privacy is guaranteed.
That was a hero and consideration for the instructors working at the consulate.
However, Seohyun also wanted to avoid being noticed by anyone when she happened to leave the male instructor’s dormitory in the morning.
“Now I understand.”
Cho Seo-hyeon said that while she was a cadet and an instructor at the consulate, she occasionally witnessed secret meetings between the instructors.
She even saw a male instructor coming out of the female dormitory while serving as an instructor.
But whenever that happened, Cho Seo-hyun only laughed inwardly.
(That’s right… Why do you make excuses like that, saying that meeting a man and a woman is embarrassing…)
She is the super Seohyun who thought so….
“Ha… If I get caught on the way, I’ll be embarrassed and I won’t be able to carry her face all through her school days….”
I didn’t want to be caught, so I secretly headed to my dormitory at dawn like this.
It was the moment I was walking fast through the hallway to get out of the boys’ dormitory so quickly.
“… It’s okay.”
She was confronted by a guard who was patrolling.
‘Phew… I thought you were an instructor.’
It was the moment Seohyeon tried to pass by by turning her head to the side so that her face would not be reflected on him as much as possible.
‘… ?’
In seconds, Seohyun felt the gaze directed at her, and she began to glare at the guard passing her.
A guard staring at him intently.
The consulate, especially the security guards working in these dormitories, should not carelessly look away.
Cho Seo-hyeon, who knew that, was not careful to touch in that part.
It was something that would normally have been overlooked.
As usual….
‘… Madam.’
But now it was different.
What would she have done if a female instructor had visited the male dormitory in the middle of the night?
Cho Seo-hyun, who judged the guard’s thoughts at will, looked up at him with an annoyed voice and glared at him.
“Excuse me.”
“Yes Yes!?”
“Did you see it?”
“Ah! Sin, sorry.”
“Madam… Annoying.”
Cho Seo-hyeon was annoyed at her security guard, she thought to herself as she headed for the exit from her dormitory.
‘I have to say something about that.’
With that in mind, she started heading towards the exit of her dorm.
***
Go Chung-sin unknowingly frowned and grumbled.
“No, I just saw some….”
But at the same time, the warning she had heard before she stood guard began to ring in her head.
(Never make eye contact with people walking around the dormitory, you know?)
He began to sigh deeply as his sleepy mind flashed.
“What are you saying? Ha… Nothing works.”
Even though he was irritable throughout the working hours, he couldn’t help but be stressed out by worrying about the scolding that might come later.
***
I opened my eyes and muttered as I looked at the door that Cho Seo-hyeon had closed.
“… Are you gone?”
The act of pretending to be asleep was rather staggering.
When I was young, when I secretly played games at dawn, there were many situations where I had to lie down and pretend to sleep right before I was caught….
As I lay down and tossed and turned, Armonia asked me.
[Aren’t you meeting Seong Soo-ah?]
‘Yeah, I’m going to refrain from meeting as much as possible this week.’
She had told Sung-soo that she couldn’t connect today just in case.
It was partly because I was in a situation where I didn’t know what time it would end with Cho Seo-hyun, but there was another big reason.
[Why?]
‘I have to give them a sense of anticipation.’
This weekend, Seong Soo-ah and I had a meal plan.
It could just be a meal and it could be over, or maybe a long conversation.
But what mattered wasn’t what kind of day I spent.
‘To keep creating a blank space without me so that I can expect what I will do.’
Anticipation is a great driving force.
When you go on a trip abroad for the first time, it is important to familiarize yourself with the precautions for the destination for safety.
However, the story changes when you go beyond the precautions and see books, blogs, and videos that contain everything about travel.
When you go on a real trip because you are immersed in the content, there are cases in which interest cools down.
Seong Soo-ah and I are going on a first date in a sense. The key was to raise expectations as much as possible by refraining from meeting.
Seong-soo, she still couldn’t conclude that she had feelings for me as the opposite sex, but she judged that there was nothing wrong with making me expect it.
‘First of all, Seong Soo-ah puts some distance…. The problem is….’
I immediately got out of bed, took out the box under the bed, and began to open it quietly.
A storage box with tight security that Armonia said.
In it….
“It’s nice to have this, but I’m a little worried.”
Dungeon gimmick activation orb.
It’s only the size of a baseball, but it’s worth a lot.
The problem was that it was stolen secretly, apart from its value, so it could not be sold or used recklessly.
At least I thought my room was safe and carefully hid it under it, but now things have changed.
[I think we need to come up with a way. Seohyun Cho may not have the tendency to rummage around Suho’s room, but if she gets caught by mistake, it will be difficult.]
‘I know… In addition, if the troubled bastard spies on the location of my room and finds it…. Ah!’
[… ?]
I took out my notebook and started drawing the magic circles I had learned so far.
As I started to draw the magic circle one by one, Armonia communicated as if it understood my actions.
[Alchemy… It’s an excellent choice.]
‘Let’s just check if it works for now.’
I didn’t mean to do it blindly.
Still, due to the nature of alchemy, it tells you what the result will be in advance, so I checked it and there was nothing bad.
What if what you want comes out and you can make it with alchemy?
There was no reason to be anxious about hiding it like this.
After drawing all the magic circles one by one, I started to check them one by one.
-No-
-No-
….
However, it was a situation where everything was said to be impossible, perhaps because the compatibility with the magic circle I had was not good.
‘What? Can’t it? Uh!?’
As I kept trying, one popped up.
[Magic Trap Magic Circle – Success Rate: 100%]
It was a confirmation window that came out mixed with the persistence magic circle.
‘Margie?’
Even though I had heard of Dokki, I had never heard of Magi.
[It is inferred that what is called miasma here has the official name of Magi.]
‘It seems that it’s just the same thing whether it’s poison or magic. Then….’
The worry didn’t last long.
‘Lets do it.’
[This is a good choice. No matter how good it is, it is wise to consume it quickly if you think of Suho’s residence.]
It was as Armonia said.
If you drag the time to combine it with a good magic circle and get caught, you could end up in a worse situation than having it.
Anyway, just hearing the name, I decided to try alchemy, judging that it was a magic circle that could bring out the performance of this bead.
Dig!
I was impressed by the explanation of the magic circle that came out of alchemy.
‘… It’s real alchemy.’

Random status abnormalities can be granted where demons exist.
Depending on the concentration of demonic energy, the strength of the status ailment is determined.
However, it can be used only when there is a certain amount of magic. (Mana cost X)
=====
I just mixed it with alchemy, but a magic circle that perfectly captured the performance of the beads was completed.
Although the beads disappeared and could not be sold or transferred to anyone, that didn’t matter to me.
But if there’s something I’m sorry about….
‘It’s a waste to be random.’
[The things I originally had were also random, so I can’t help it.]
‘Yes, where is this?’
It was a moment when I could feel once again that there is no end to greed in the first place.
Laughing so bitterly, I entered the magic circle into my head and burned the paper to completely destroy the evidence.
..
..
As soon as I went to work in the morning, I received a report from a security guard with annual leave.
That’s right….
“A claim?”
“Yes.”
“What claim is it?”
“That… This time the new guard friend made a mistake.”
The gist of the story was that a security guard stared intently into the face of a female instructor who visited the male instructor’s dormitory.
And coincidentally, both the female instructor and the blundering security guard were people who were deeply related to me.
“That… This is Instructor Cho Seo-hyeon and Ko Min-hyeok.”
‘Trouble….’
Are you aware of the accident?
I thought it would be nice to have something to catch the pod, but I never thought that the job of catching books would roll in so quickly.
The guard with a yearly car started to speak more while looking at me.
“That… Instructor Cho Seo-hyeon told us to be cautious, but I’m telling you in advance because I don’t know if things will get bigger later.”
“Aha….”
The guard in front of me now knew roughly why I stopped by Instructor Cho Seo-hyeon’s male instructor’s dormitory.
Even if I wanted to pretend I didn’t know, the person controlling access to the male instructor’s dormitory was the security guard in front of me.
In other words, he meant that he would quickly shake his mouth and hope that no harm would come to him.
I looked at him and nodded his head.
“First of all, I will go directly to Instructor Cho Seo-hyeon and apologize.”
“All right.”
The guard sighed with relief as he said hello and opened the door to leave.
I said to him
“Please call Minhyuk Koh.”
“… All right.”
Not long after the security guard left, Go Chung-sin came to my office.
“Wow… Came.”
“….”
Anxiety, nervousness, worry, and tension were all mixed in his expression.
Just by looking at him, he knew why he had been called.
I immediately stood up and summed it up in one word.
“Be careful next time.”
“Yes?”
“Be careful next time. It’s the first time, so I’ll pass.”
I could feel Go Chung-shin’s face brighten.
“Go, thank you!”
Looking at God’s grievance attitude, he could see how much grievances he suffered while working all night.
Because of the work schedule, I even made a mistake in a position where I had to look good to me.
I went up to him and patted him on the shoulder.
“But be really careful next time. Just keep your head down when you’re working in a dorm and don’t even think about identifying yourself.”
“All right.”
“I just kept my head down the whole time. When someone speaks to you, raise your head and answer. Understand?”
“… All right.”
I smiled inwardly as I watched Go Chung-sin’s rotting expression.
‘The thought of a guy who doesn’t want to be noticed by others would go out all night with his head down, he’d explode with heat.’
Just looking at his temperament window, he was never a guy who would bend over to others.
I didn’t stop there, I pushed harder and made Go Chung-sin feel better.
“No, it’s not enough just to hang down. Like a flies looking for something to eat, they stare at the floor. Understand?”
“Ah… I knew.”
“I never meant to disparage Go Min-hyeok as a fly. I’m talking strongly in the sense that it’s really that important. Understand?”
“… Yes.”
The rotting face of Go Chung-sin… It was so nice to see.
In a state of high spirits, I slowly began to proceed with the plan.
‘Then shall we begin?’
I put my hand on his shoulder and told him.
“And about the work schedule. I think I made a mistake while writing it. Editing will be difficult right away, so I’ll fix it in a few days and put it back on the bulletin board.”
“Go, thank you!”
Goh Chung-shin bowed to me and thanked me with an expression of gratitude that he had not shown before.
It seemed that he really didn’t like it.
However… Nothing is free in this world.
I laughed inwardly and started asking him quietly.
“Mr. Koh Min-hyeok.”
“Yes?”
Go Chung-sin looked up at me carefully and asked with a smile.
“Do you know Woore by any chance?”
