Chapter 374 – Chapter 374 Hero Academy (4-15)
Seong Soo-ah and I both opened our mouths at the same time as we looked at the completely unexpected person with a surprised expression on our faces.
“Yes, Mr. Yeriel?”
Yeriel, who was standing and looking up at us, asked us with a soft smile.
“I never expected to meet you in a place like this. But what are you two doing here?”
“That, that….”
Sung Soo-ah began to hesitate with a puzzled expression.
I didn’t like that kind of attitude.
It’s a reaction that comes out when you’re doing something you shouldn’t be doing.
I urgently thought of an excuse and threw it out.
“Instructor Seong Soo-ah took the time to come.”
“… Hour?”
To the puzzled Yeriel, I spewed as many lies as I could.
While the VR experience at the tower was amazing, Seong Soo-ah came to know about it and came here together.
It was a simple and rational lie.
As for her Sung Soo-ah personality, there was no problem because she tends to be kind to her co-workers.
Yeriel listened attentively to my words, smiled slightly, and opened her mouth.
“Well, Sua is full of consideration.”
Haha….”
Despite Yeriel’s praise, Seongsuah just broke out in a cold sweat.
I decided it was urgent to get out of Yariel for now, and attempted to forcefully close this conversation by putting her head down.
“Yeriel-nim, we’re going to leave. Carefully….”
However, Yeriel did not fall for my crude tricks.
“Good, then. Just in case I have time. Let’s take a look together.”
“….”
So, between me and Seongsuah, Yeriel was groaning.
..
..
It’s not that she hates Yeriel.
Seong Soo-ah must have the same thoughts as me.
Rather, just looking at her personality and appearance, Yeriel could be said to be the most likable type.
However, if he suddenly interrupts you on a date, that’s a different story.
Me, Yeriel, Seong Soo-ah.
No matter which way Yeriel walked, she was caught between me and Seongsuah and followed him around.
From the outside, it seems like a really harmonious family.
But that was only when you looked at it from the outside.
Rather, it was because Seong Soo-ah and I were following Yeriel while paying attention.
‘Why the hell are you doing that….’
[I don’t know either.]
Yeriel slightly led the way and handed me something in front of the blue glass door.
Blue card.
At first glance, it was a card key that could open the glass door in front.
“Open it.”
“Yes….”
I took her blue card key from her Yeriel, unlocked her door, and gave it back to her.
In a situation where it had already crossed the water to be called a date like that, the place where Yeriel arrived was a space filled with blue light capsules.
Compared to most of the spaces where you can experience VR headgear, here is a real capsule.
‘Because it’s the headquarters, of course there must be capsules.’
[But it looks a bit different from the capsule in the consulate and tower.]
While capsules are usually covered in silver and glass, the capsules here have a blue gloss.
Yeriel smiled and said as she looked at Seong Soo-ah and I curiously looking at the blue capsule.
“This is a prototype developed this time.”
Seong Soo-ah had been sullen until a moment ago, but she asked, expressing her puzzlement at the word “Prototype.”
“A prototype? Is there a new part to change? I think the capsule is already perfect….”
That was my thoughts too.
The currently developed capsule was also a great thing that almost perfectly made virtual reality look like reality.
However, contrary to our doubts, Yeriel’s words were enough to surprise us.
“This prototype is a product made for magicians.”
“!?”
It was a simple and clear explanation that needed no further explanation.
Seong Soo-ah, who had looked weak until now, had strength in her pupils, gently stroked her capsule, and asked back.
“Really?”
“Yeah, at the head office, I spoke confidently.”
“But why are we here… ?”
No matter how famous the hero was, this was a place where even Seong Soo-ah could not set foot in her.
It brought not only Sung Soo-ah to such a place, but also me.
Yeriel touched her capsule with her dainty hand and said with a light smile.
“Please give me a test run.”
As soon as Seong Soo-ah heard Yeriel’s words, her eyes filled with enthusiasm and she started stroking her capsule.
She wasn’t at the level of a kid, but she didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
In fact, ironically, this product would not be of great help to Seong Soo-ah.
It’s because she’s already built up her skills to the point where she doesn’t need practice.
Even so, the reason why she was so motivated was because she was her magician instructor.
[The current opinion is that the reason why the tower is being pushed behind by the church is because of the number of magicians.]
‘It must be amazing to come to the consulate after completing the test properly.’
A generation could come that covers talent with technology.
By safely training cadets inside the capsule, risks can be minimized and efficiency maximized.
Then, naturally, the graduation rate of cadets would rise rapidly.
As a result, it will be of great help to the Tower….
As long as this product comes out properly, the status of the tower will be much higher than it is now.
Of course, it would be possible only if the premise that Ebrica provided this product was laid….
Yeriel opened her mouth while looking at Seongsuah and me.
“Can you help me?”
Yeriel was asking Seongsuah while looking at her, but she was implicitly sending her glance at me.
She seems to have been judged by my doctor to be quite important.
I looked at Seong Soo-ah, who was looking at me, and said with a smile on her face.
“While Instructor Seong Soo-ah is experiencing, I will wait outside….”
“No. I brought you because I wanted you to do it together.”
“Me too?”
“Yes.”
In the end, I couldn’t refuse Yeriel’s request, and Seong Soo-ah, who was next to her, smiled bitterly and opened the door of her capsule and started preparing.
As I opened the capsule and prepared to enter, Yeriel, who was next to me, started looking up at me.
Yeriel gently lifted her arms and spoke softly as she stretched them out to me.
“Please give me a ride.”
“… Yes?”
“It is difficult for me to enter because I am small. Please come in and put me in the capsule.”
Except for the way he spoke, he was a flawless kid.
A child who looks a little dignified….
I gently grabbed Yeriel by the sides and lifted her up, carefully placing her inside the capsule.
Yeriel smoothed her cute skirt and looked up at me and she said thank you.
“Thanks.”
“You’re welcome…. By the way, wasn’t Yeriel able to use magic to enter?”
When an incident occurred in the Labyrinth Dungeon, Yeriel once showed her body flying in the air.
Earlier, the card key could have been opened easily with magic, but he was asking me to do this and that in an unexpected part.
But at my question, Yeriel smiled, then closed her eyes and quietly opened her mouth.
“Will I get scolded if I use magic without permission inside the headquarters of Erica?”
Haha….”
It made sense.
Even if it’s a light magic, if you use it carelessly, it can cause misunderstanding.
I carefully seated her Yeriel in her capsule, closed her door, and looked at Sung Soo-ah, who was preparing next to her.
Seong Soo-ah kept giving me an apologetic expression while she was preparing.
I smiled and entered the empty capsule and tried to connect.
The place I entered through access was a place surrounded by a dark background.
I looked around and found Seongsuah and Yeriel, and I was able to find Seongsuah right away.
Seong Soo-ah, like me, was wearing casual clothes provided inside her device.
As soon as Seong Soo-ah, who was looking around, found me, she ran right over and whispered quietly in my ear.
“Instructor Seong Soo-ho… I’m sorry. Trouble….”
“I don’t think so. Think of it as a good experience and try it.”
“Yes.”
Seong Soo Ah felt relieved by my words, so she wiped her chest and started to look around her again.
“Where is Yeriel-sama… Ah!”
Along with Seongsuah’s cry, I also turned her head in the direction she was heading to confirm.
But what was reflected in my eyes was not the Yeriel I knew.
An elegant and graceful woman approached us.
She was approached by a woman she had never seen before, but Seong Soo-ah was not wary and smiled as if she were dealing with people she already knew.
“You look like that here too.”
“Yeah, I guess my avatar was stored at the headquarters of Erica.”
A height of about 170, a chest that looks like a D cup, and a curvy body that cannot be covered even by everyday clothes.
And her hair was long enough to cover not only her back, but her solid hips as well as her thighs.
She said with a dreamy smile, as if a witch-like beauty beckoned me to look at me.
“I’m in trouble when I look at you like that.”
Hearing her voice towards me, I was sure who she was.
“Yeriel?”
“Whoops….”
..
..
Actions that could be performed inside the capsule were extremely limited.
All I could do was change the surrounding environment and run a battle simulation.
It was developed for that purpose in the first place, so it’s natural, but….
I admired Seongsuah freely using magic.
‘Wow, seeing it like this, it’s really amazing.’
[I don’t think they’re called advanced heroes for nothing.]
Seong Soo-ah, who always taught students and simply performed magic, disappeared, and only Seong Soo-ah, who used her abilities to sway the surroundings, remained.
Using magic of various attributes, he was sweeping away the enemies running around him.
At first, I was also fighting alongside Sung Soo-ah.
However….
‘It’s sad that I’m running late…. I have to raise my magic power quickly.’
[It’s true that the magic circle has the same ability as fraud, but it’s a pity that it can’t be implemented here.]
A fatal problem in VR.
It was that the magic circle could not be used.
Even detecting mana in the first place, it’s funny to expect something like that from a device that was just developed….
Thanks to that, I had been using cadet-level magic before withdrawing early.
When I was admiring Sung Soo-ah, I heard a voice along with the sound of footsteps next to her.
“Are you done?”
“Yes. If I try to match Instructor Seong Soo-ah’s level, I think I’ll end up like a bitch.”
“Sua is not a normal skill.”
Yeriel, in adult form, was looking at me with a dreamy smile.
She explained that it was originally like this in the past.
However, due to a certain incident, she was transformed into her younger self, and she lived her whole life in that form.
In the meantime, when VR was developed in Ebrica, the avatar was made as similar as possible to the past.
Yeriel must have sensed my glance. She crossed her arms and smiled faintly.
“It looks much better this way than usual.”
“Oh, sorry. Because of the sudden change of appearance, I couldn’t get used to it….”
“It’s okay. Please understand me though. No matter how much I am, I don’t want to continue to be a child in this virtual world.”
Fully understood
I don’t know why he changed into such a child, but if he lived his whole life like that, it would be tiring.
Even in a world like this, it must be Yeriel’s desire and her hope to keep her old self.
I thought of a woman while looking at her Yeriel.
‘Wouldn’t it be like this when Luna turns 30?’
[Exactly… It has a similar atmosphere.]
‘Then, if I have sex with Yeriel now, will I be having sex with Luna in the future?’
[… I will not comment.]
Armonia seemed to be unable to open its mouth any longer because of admiration for my sharp question.
‘If I think of Luna’s naked body, I’ll get an idea of what her rough body is like.’
[….]
Just like that, she was imagining Yeriel’s naked body by herself.
Paaang!
Yerriel spread her palm and fired her telekinesis wave, blasting the flying monster in the distance.
Startle!
I was startled by Yeriel’s sudden action and looked at the monster as it disappeared like a hologram.
Yeriel said with a smile.
“Mana will be recharged when you reconnect. It’s not meant to be used for real, it’s made so that it can be used based on measured values.”
“Ah… Yes.”
I thought I was reading my thoughts, but I guess it wasn’t fortunate….
It was a moment when I imagined Yeriel’s naked body again.
Beep!! Beep!! Beep!!
A beep loud enough to drown out even the shouts of the monsters began to resonate in the virtual space.
〈 Abnormal risk detected! We will make an emergency escape!〉
‘What!? What’s up?’
The moment you think so, suddenly….
Wow!
“What!”
I started to get motion sickness as the tremendous light abused my eyes.
And it was only after the motion sickness stopped that I could barely open my eyes and look straight ahead.
“What is going on?”
As soon as I opened my eyes, what came into my field of vision was a capsule that had been forcibly opened.
I hurriedly got up and checked Seongsuah and Yeriel.
I was relieved to realize that Sung Soo-ah and Yeriel, who woke up from the capsule with embarrassed faces, were safe, but the moment I looked around, I had no choice but to erase my laughter.
This energy coming into my body… I could never forget.
Just feeling it for a moment, the feeling of eating into your mind and gradually gnawing away at it.
This….
‘… Miasma?’
The space we were in was engulfed in a light miasma.
