Chapter 584 – Chapter 584 Hero Academy (5)
“Thanks to Instructor Sung Soo-ho, I was able to feel that feeling again. Really… Thank you very much.”
Looking at Seo Ji-eun, who was bending her waist while shedding her tears, she smiled shyly and waved her hand.
“If anyone sees it, they’ll think I’ve solved everything.”
Seeing that enthusiasm earlier, she knew that she would be moved to some extent, but she never thought that she would shed tears like that.
And above all, as I said, the current situation was far from a solution.
I wouldn’t think so from Seo Ji-eun’s point of view, but….
‘If you work hard, you will think that one day you will get better. No… Are you going to get better?’
[There is little chance of that. It’s an abnormal condition that wasn’t even listed in the temperament window in the first place….]
‘What on earth is the problem?’
The flow of Seo Ji-eun’s mana definitely caught my eye.
It would be the same in the eyes of other wizards.
Right now, even Seong Soo-ah’s magical talent itself is overwhelmingly superior to mine.
However, the flow of mana spread in a form that could not be understood by common sense.
It doesn’t stretch out in a straight line at will, but it feels like it’s radiating….
[If you continue to use magic in peace, you are likely to find problems and solutions.]
‘But… I’m sure I’m much better than Seong Soo-ah in that respect.’
The cause was unknown, but since she was in charge, she decided to conduct her private lessons in this way.
‘Because I like him more than anything.’
At first, it felt like an annoyance was added, but when I saw Seo Ji-eun, that annoyance went away.
Even if you teach in the same place, education is a completely different efficiency.
No matter how good a teacher is, the quality of learning depends on the type of people being taught.
Teaching a weak-willed child with a tic-tick-tick will is like teaching a guy who has passion and does his best is a completely different matter….
‘Well, it’s unfortunate that I’m not at the level I’m teaching.’
Seo Ji-eun bowed her back and she quickly wiped away the tears and stood up to thank her.
“Today… Thank you very much.”
“Okay. Is it time to go home soon?”
Outside her window, the sun, which had been burning yellow, gave off red aura and was ready to fade.
In other words, it meant that it was dismissal time.
The consulate forces her to live in a dormitory, but only Seo Ji-eun is an exception.
In addition to her wealth, she was in a position to go to and from school at her hometown because of her inability to control her mana.
Seo Ji-eun squeezed her hand, and she nodded her head with a sad voice inside.
“Yes. I think we should go soon.”
“Then let’s go. I’ll walk you to the car park.”
“… Yes.”
I left her classroom with her while listening to Seo Ji-eun’s smiley reply.
As she walked without a big conversation with Seo Ji-eun, she arrived at the school gate before she knew it.
“I’ll go alone from here.”
“Ah, come to think of it, the butler is coming to pick you up, right?”
“Yes… That… Sehyung is absolutely not a bad person.”
Seo Ji-eun didn’t look directly, but she seemed to have a vague idea that I had a fight with the butler.
Even if it is difficult to lead reconciliation, it seemed that he was trying to ease my mood by at least representing the other person’s mind.
Of course it failed….
‘If the guy I’ve been with all my life doesn’t even know, he’s a real bastard.’
There was absolutely no way I could ever get close to a stunner.
How could you like such a swindler?
[There is a high possibility that the chairman was also deceived.]
‘At that level, I’m beyond that guy, I’m the one who was shot into space….’
I replied with a shy smile.
“Don’t worry too much about that part. I have no intention of fighting the cadet’s guardian either.”
“… Thank you for your consideration.”
“Then see you tomorrow.”
“Yes. See you tommorow.”
After seeing Seo Ji-eun off, I headed straight to the restaurant to fill my stomach.
..
..
Shaaaaagh! Wickedness! Shoot aaaaa!
The shadows under Seo Ji-eun’s feet stretched out innumerably and began to whirl like her blades.
“Five….”
It was a scene that gave me admiration every time I saw it.
I have seen a lot of natural attribute type magic, so I’m less inspired, but when I look at Seo Ji-eun’s shadow magic, I feel the emotion of seeing her magic in front of me for the first time.
But the shadows that elicited my emotions….
Cheap! Wow!
“Sigh!”
After about a minute passed, it started running towards the owner, Seo Ji-eun.
As if I had Cheolcheon enemy in front of me….
I immediately reached out and dismembered him.
Dig! Softly….
At the same time as her dismemberment, the countless shadows of Seo Ji-eun spread out, and then she began to naturally gather under her feet.
As if nothing had happened until just now….
“Are you okay?”
“… Yes I’m okay.”
Seo Ji-eun smiled bitterly at her and nodded her head with effort.
Still, the passion in Seo Ji-eun’s heart showed no signs of cooling down like magma.
However, even in a place where such magma is seething, the story is different if it rains continuously.
The cold rain that contains anxiety….
‘If I stay like this for over a month, I might get depressed again.’
The current Seo Ji-eun is quite different from what she showed me a while ago.
Seo Ji-eun, who acted like a young lady in front of me until recently….
“Instructor Sung Soo-ho. Don’t you think you lasted a little longer today?”
“This time it’s over a minute.”
She displayed a spirited look similar to the rest of her cadets.
It wasn’t just her personality that changed most of all.
-[Magical Power LV 22], [Zero Attribute LV 17]-
Within a week, magic power rose from 20 to 22, and permanence rose from 14 to 17.
Even using the expression “Crazy growth” Was not enough.
Yes, the growth she sees now is on the rise based on her accumulated abilities, so it will stop at some point….
“It’s really great. Shadow magic is also amazing.”
There was nothing I could say other than praise.
But when I praised her again, Seo Ji-eun seemed sullen and lowered her head and muttered.
“… That’s fortunate.”
I comforted her by looking at Seo Ji-eun, who was sullen.
“Have her confidence. If she keeps trying, maybe she can figure out her solution herself.”
“… ?”
After comforting her, why suddenly put a question mark over her head?
I said while looking at Seo Ji-eun who put up such a question mark.
“Let’s do this for today. It’s almost time to go home.”
The sun was setting again outside her window.
And when the sun sets, the weekend begins again.
‘It’s already Friday. What to do this weekend….’
Nothing had been decided yet, but the weekend was just around the corner.
I deliberately did not make an appointment on the weekend.
If you make an appointment with Seong Soo-ah, and Cho Seo-hyun asks to meet, you may have to break the promise on one side.
It was to prevent such mishaps.
‘Ah, I keep getting calls from Jiah Yoon. Should I meet Yoon Ji-ah after a while?’
She was so happy when she was choosing a choice.
“That… Instructor Seong Soo-ho.”
“Yes?”
Seo Ji-eun tidied up her tousled hair and disheveled outfit from her training and stood in front of me and began to stand upright.
She seemed to have something to say, but she couldn’t seem to get it out easily.
I asked with a dull expression.
“Why?”
“That… Perhaps….”
“… ?”
Seo Ji-eun, who kept blurring her words, said to me as if she had made up her mind with a big sigh.
“If you don’t mind, can I invite the instructor to my house this weekend?”
..
..
As I headed toward the mansion through the grounds of Seojia’s mansion, I heard Kang Han-na’s words by telecommunication.
[It’s just fine. I tried to summarize the information I found out and tell you.]
‘Did you find out anything?’
[There is, but… It’s a bit ambiguous.]
It was unexpected.
I thought I would be able to find out a lot of things quickly if I used Shiho.
[Once there was a space Shiho couldn’t enter.]
‘… Shiho can’t enter?’
[Yes. Like the central facility in Go Min-tae’s research site.]
For reference, there was Yeouiju in the central facility of the research site of Go Min-tae.
Because of the influence of Yeouiju, even Shiho, who was in a spirit state, could not enter the place.
[You can enter the mansion itself, but… Sehyung Lee… No, Ki Cheol-ho couldn’t enter that human’s room.]
‘… You mean something?’
[Yes. And the interesting thing is that the church is the same.]
Ki Cheol-ho’s room and some areas of the church.
He said it wasn’t just a concept that hindered his path like a wall.
[They said that hallucinations appear when approaching certain areas, and if you forcefully try to enter, you feel as if someone is infiltrating your mind.]
An area where even the soul cannot enter.
He said it was not only the church’s facilities, but also Ki Cheol-ho’s room.
I continued to listen to Kang Han-na while casting a shadow over my face.
[If hallucinations appear, I told you to locate them only.]
‘Well done. Please tell Shiho never to overdo it.’
[I’ve already said that, but I’d listen better if you said it. I’ll be sure to ask.]
Kang Han Na who cares for Shiho as much as I do.
Even if I don’t say it, that part will be thoroughly worked out.
[Shiho is taking a break for now.]
‘… Enough to return to the ship?’
[That’s not it. As a result of checking the temperament window through Mr. Armonia, he said that it would get better after resting for a while.]
‘Armonia, if it is determined that the condition is not good, restore it unconditionally. Understand?’
[All right.]
Armonia will take good care of that part even if I don’t say it.
Because Armonia is the person who takes care of the staff as much as I do.
After that, I was able to hear a more detailed explanation from Kang Han Na.
[A person named Ki Cheol-ho… I couldn’t find anything strange about him, perhaps because he has a more thorough personality than me. Until yesterday.]
‘… Yesterday?’
Until yesterday? So that means you found it today.
[Yes, only once, but… Shiho heard me muttering to myself yesterday.]
Shiho overheard Seo Ji-eun notifying Ki Cheol-ho that he was inviting Seong Su-ho last night.
Gi Cheol-ho, who heard Seo Ji-eun’s notification, said that Shi-ho heard him whispering to himself while walking down the hallway.
And he quietly recited to me what he had caught.
[… He said that since you came, it was the right time to execute the plan.]
‘….’
With the entrance of Xujia’s mansion in front of me, I hardened my expression.
‘Once I finish my work here, I’ll go to the hotel.’
[… Do not work too hard.]
Don’t overdo it….
She had visited Shijia’s mansion before.
Like Sung Soo-ah.
But now i’m alone
When she had visited the mansion before, she had simply admired the grand gardens and splendor of the mansion, but now it was a completely different feeling.
‘It feels like walking into a monster’s mouth.’
It felt like being guided by a beautiful lantern and entering the mouth of an anglerfish.
And at the same time as the door to the mansion of Seojia like that hungry ghost opens….
“Welcome. Instructor Seong Soo-ho.”
She was greeted by Seo Ji-eun, who was dressed up to the fullest.
Seo Ji-eun is not grandiose, but she was wearing a one-piece dress that was formal and casual at the same time.
She was wearing beige shoes under a light blue skirt that barely showed her ankles.
I was amazed to see Seo Ji-eun like that.
‘Last time I saw it, I thought it liked solid black, but it seems it doesn’t.’
How to say, if it was the black outfit that expressed his gloomy inner feelings when he first came to the mansion.
Today, I was creating a lively atmosphere to match my recently changed personality.
As I stared blankly at Seo Ji-eun’s outfit, Seo Ji-eun tilted her head and called out to me.
“Instructor?”
“Oh sorry. I was surprised that the outfit was different from usual. I like the bright outfit.”
“Ah… Go, thank you.”
As if Seo Ji-eun was embarrassed by my compliment, she looked back at her with a smile.
Behind her stood two men and women.
One is Seo Ji’s secretary, Lee So-hyun.
“Welcome….”
She was looking at me with her meaningful eyes.
And the other one….
“Welcome.”
It was the butler Ki Chul-ho, who smiled brightly as he looked at me with a kind face.
