Chapter 588 – Chapter 588 Hero Academy (5)
I opened my mouth as if humming while looking at the sharp blade of the sword.
“As expected, it’s a weapon from Seoji, so it’s in good condition.”
“….”
But despite my praise, no one seemed pleased with the fact.
Seo Ji-eun and Lee So-hyun stared at me with rabbit eyes, while the rest of the servants just looked at me with their mouths open.
If there is someone with a different expression….
“….”
It was about Gi Cheol-ho frowning and Hong Mun-seok staring blankly at the iron rod that was the spear.
As I looked at Gi Cheol-ho and Hong Mun-seok alternately, I said a soft apology.
“Sorry for damaging the weapon. I never thought that he would swing the spear like that.”
“… It’s okay.”
I put the words in my mouth that it was okay, but the expression on my face didn’t look okay at all.
I was going to embarrass you, but I’m embarrassed because I was embarrassed….
Ki Cheol-ho looked at Hong Moon-seok and gestured at him, ordering him to leave.
However, at Ki Chul-ho’s chin gesture, Hong Mun-seok immediately exclaimed in excitement.
“Oh, it’s not over yet!”
“What are you doing ugly? Get seated quickly….”
“We’ve only exchanged a few numbers yet! Go a little further… !”
“….”
Ki Cheol-ho did not answer and began to be silent, staring at Hong Moon-seok.
Seeing Ki Cheol-ho like that, Hong Mun-seok began to shiver and break out in a cold sweat as if he was under pressure.
‘That person is amazing, that’s amazing.’
Hong Moon-seok is a strong enough man to kill Gi-cheol-ho even with his light-hearted fist.
Such a talented person was being suppressed by Ki Cheol-ho’s momentum, who had no ability.
Hong Mun-seok, wiping out a cold sweat, took the spear that had been cut off and lowered his head.
“… Sorry.”
Hong Moon-seok did not listen to Gi Cheol-ho’s answer and immediately left the place.
Ki Cheol-ho changed his face to an expressionless expression and looked at me and lowered his head.
“Thank you for showing off your outstanding skills despite unreasonable demands.”
“The compatibility was just good.”
I shuddered and canceled the magic of possession, and at the same time, the name of the era came out of my body.
As soon as Yeonho came out, he looked at me, and he bluntly let out a regretful voice.
(Hmm… It looks like you handled it well. It’s a pity that I couldn’t directly experience it.)
It seemed that he had a desire to feel the sensation of wielding a sword himself, probably because he used to wield a sword before he died.
While he was grumbling to himself, Ki Cheol-ho opened his mouth again.
“Can I ask you one more favor?”
“… ?”
“My lady’s specialty is magic. Can you have another confrontation with the servant who uses magic?”
I was honestly surprised.
Ki Cheol-ho, seen through the temperament window, did not have such a tenacious personality.
‘It’s strange. I don’t think he’s the kind of guy who hangs on like this.’
[… Look out.]
‘Do not worry. Those with magical abilities, my opponents….’
[No. I’m not worried about that part.]
What a shame….
When I felt so sad inside, Kang Han Na immediately explained why I wasn’t worried.
[Where can I worry after seeing your skills?]
Haha….’
[I’m concerned about your safety, not your skills.]
As I investigated Ki Chul-ho, Kang Han-na contrasted his temperament window with his personality and made me aware of the seriousness of the current situation.
[For such a thorough person to suddenly come out emotionally… It’s a story about setting up a trap that you really don’t want to miss. You have to be really careful.]
‘… I’ll keep that in mind.’
When she heard me strong, she realized that she couldn’t just laugh and move on.
At least, it seemed that there was no need to be very nervous about the battle.
If Gi Cheol-ho is using his energy to beat me, he is no different from failing.
..
..
The female servant’s throat rang and flowed through my blade.
“I lost, I lost….”
I pulled the knife from her throat and opened her mouth.
“Your defense magic is excellent. I had a pretty hard time finding gaps.”
“… Thank you.”
I don’t know how the other person will take it, but it was a compliment from the bottom of my heart.
This woman’s fighting style is that if I try to close the distance, she threatens me with magic, widens the distance, and responds with offensive magic.
A style that uses magic in the right place.
Combat time is approximately 3 minutes.
In the case of this woman, unlike Hong Moon-seok, at least she didn’t seem to belittle me or try to weigh me down.
It could be because of the battle I saw earlier, but her personality in the temperament window didn’t seem to disdain her opponent either.
That means I did my best.
After confirming that the battle was over, Gi Cheol-ho muttered in a low voice.
“… You are very talented.”
Unlike his mouth, his expression seemed to be incomprehensible to the current situation.
That would be the case, too, because the skills of the servants I dealt with were consulate instructor level, and I, an assistant instructor, easily dealt with them.
The female servant looked at Ki Cheol-ho and left.
As soon as the confrontation was over, Seo Ji-eun hurriedly ran to me, and she smiled brightly and opened her mouth.
“Instructor, you are really amazing.”
I laughed awkwardly and shook her head.
“The compatibility was just good.”
It was not wrong.
I can deal with most of the mages here if I really put my mind to it.
Even with the dismantling technique alone, the wizards can be sorted out to some extent.
I don’t know what will happen if I fight monsters like Seongsuah and Yeriel who have done their best….
‘I want to check it out by fighting a decent wizard.’
So far, I haven’t experienced any difficulties while using the dismantling technique.
The reason was that only one or two magics were dismantled.
What if countless enmity-filled magic attacks me?
It won’t be easy.
‘It was fortunate that he was a defense-oriented magician before.’
If it was a guy who focused on attacking, it would have been quite difficult.
It wouldn’t take much to use the dismantling technique while aiming for gaps.
Seo Ji-eun smiled bitterly at my humility and opened her mouth.
“Instructor, you always count it as luck.”
Haha….”
That’s why I can’t boast….
It was the moment I tried to pass it by laughing so awkwardly.
Gi Cheol-ho smiled and told me.
“To say you are humble even though you have excellent skills, I didn’t have enough eyes to see you.”
I didn’t feel any sarcasm in Gi Cheol-ho’s words.
On the contrary, such a sincere tone only fueled my vigilance….
‘I’d rather not know if there’s a feeling of grunting like before….’
I said inwardly.
“Thank you for a good look.”
“I will never challenge your skills again.”
“Whoa….”
On the contrary, Seo Ji-eun began to feel relieved that my skills were recognized.
‘He’s still young, too.’
In fact, in this kind of dispute, the person in the middle is the one who suffers the most.
From Seo Ji-eun’s point of view, Gi Cheol-ho and I were in a situation where she couldn’t choose just one person.
Gi Cheol-ho is the one who took care of me all my life, and I am the only person who can control the mana runaway.
It was the moment when everything seemed to be resolved.
“Apart from your skills, can I ask you one more favor?”
It was an incomprehensible persistence.
I asked while nervous.
“What request?”
“If you’re okay… I want to see the lady’s class method here.”
I don’t know Ki Cheol-ho’s plan, but I could never accept this.
The class with Seo Ji-eun is not really the concept I teach, it is the concept of preventing her runaway with dismantling techniques.
If Seo Ji-eun and I were watching from the sidelines, anyone would be puzzled.
You will be able to comfortably enjoy the dismantling scene.
It was a moment when I thought about how to refuse.
“Mr. Sehyung. That doesn’t work.”
“… May I ask why not? Miss.”
Seo Ji-eun opened her mouth as she took on the appearance of a landlord with a determined expression different from before.
“Instructor Sung Soo-ho is someone who can correct my problems in detail. I looked into that and asked for it.”
“If you really have the ability to make corrections, simply showing them….”
“That is rude. Teaching me is a business that requires some degree of secrecy.”
“….”
Seo Ji-eun, who had been pushed behind by Gi-cheol-ho until now, seemed to have improved her energy thanks to her winning streak.
She is not close enough to quarrel in the first place, but her original fight for pride tends to be more strongly opposed as her friendship grows deeper.
It seemed the same for Seo Ji-eun.
“Sehyung, don’t you want me to go back to my old self?”
“Could it be… I’m just worried about her safety….”
“That doesn’t concern me. It just offends Instructor Seong Soo-ho and drives me into a corner.”
“….”
At Seo Ji-eun’s remark, Ki Chul-ho calmly closed his eyes and began to be silent.
The silence didn’t last long, and he quickly opened his eyes and bowed deeply to apologize to me.
“Blinded by the safety of the young lady, I did something nasty without even realizing it. I sincerely apologize.”
“… It’s okay. I understand.”
The excuses were also of a high standard.
When people are cornered and make excuses, they are embarrassed and talk nonsense.
However, Ki Cheol-ho apologized by putting the reason for his mistake in a reasonable way.
With the card Seo Ji-eun at the fore….
But it wasn’t that she had a problem with Seo Ji-eun.
It was an apology that included the fact that she was worried about Seo Ji-eun.
Then it really ends….
“Really… I would like to ask you one last thing.”
“… Something?”
Gi Cheol-ho’s eyes were not on me, but on Seo Ji-eun.
“Could you show me your old self for a moment?”
“….”
It meant that he wanted to see the scene where magic was used.
However, from the expression to the tone of voice and eyes, it gave off a different atmosphere than before.
Ki Cheol-ho’s expression showed concern coming from inside toward Seo Ji-eun.
Yes, it looked like an elaborately decorated mask to my eyes, but….
Seo Ji-eun couldn’t easily refuse Gi-cheol-ho’s request, and she started to pay attention to me.
As if waiting for my command instead of just glancing….
I sighed lightly and nodded.
“Yes, if I don’t show it, everyone will be worried. It would be nice to simply unfold it.”
Seo Ji-eun replied with a nod of her head at the same time that she gave up my permission.
“Yes.”
“….”
Ki Cheol-ho began to look at me, as if he didn’t like this situation again.
If you look at it that way, how will things change? .
Actually, I was curious about this.
‘What on earth are you thinking, pushing things so hard….’
From the outside, Gi Cheol-ho’s behavior would appear reasonable.
Because his appearance is just that of a butler who lost her reason for Seo Ji-eun’s sake.
But that was only reflected in the eyes of others.
[It’s clear that he’s plotting something.]
‘… I’ll make sure I don’t relax until the end.’
Seo Ji-eun stood in the center of her training room, closed her eyes, and began to cast her magic.
Fortunately, it was the fact that she could see that Seo Ji-eun’s inability to control mana was gradually improving.
In the past, there were cases where her magic would run out of control as soon as she cast it, but now the stability has increased significantly to the extent that it can be maintained for about a minute.
That was far from the real cure, but….
Wow! Saaak!!
As Seo Ji-eun’s magic was cast, her shadows turned into countless blades and began to swirl around her.
And at the same time, exclamations flowed from the surroundings.
“Wow….”
Her Seo Ji-eun’s ability seemed to be a wonderful sight even in the eyes of her servants who had been supporting her for a long time.
Aaaaa….
“Whoa….”
Seo Ji-eun, who showed off her magic for about 30 seconds, gradually began to withdraw her magic.
Recently, her magic duration was limited to 1 minute.
It was a set time because signs of mana runaway could gradually be seen after one minute.
‘It’s nothing special. … Yes!?’
It was a moment of relief thinking that way.
I heard Sohyun’s cry from far away.
“Ah, lady!”
“!?”
Cheap!
One of Seo Ji-eun’s unfolded shadow blades made a U-turn, and she was charging with momentum to pierce her.
Seo Ji-eun calmly tried to use another shadow blade to defend herself, but….
Wow!
“Wow!?”
Even her shadow blade, which she ordered to block, began to charge towards her as well.
It was at this moment that Seo Ji-eun instinctively raised her arm.
Kaaang! Caang!
“It’s okay?”
“Ah! It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Because I blocked two shadow blades, I couldn’t reach Seo Ji-eun.
But the situation did not improve.
“Sir, Instructor….”
No, things started to get worse.
I whispered to Seo Ji-eun while holding her sword at an angle.
“Cadet Seo Ji-eun… Stay close behind me.”
Countless shadow blades came out and began to surround Seo Ji-eun, revealing their hostility.
