Chapter 846 – 846. Hero Academy (6) -Cho Seo-Hyun Illustration-
Seohyun, who was walking down the hallway as if rolling his feet, barely opened her mouth while looking at me.
“This forehead… Are you okay?”
Haha, it’s okay.”
I smiled and stroked my forehead, and Cho Seohyun sighed and apologized.
“Mi, I’m sorry.”
“Do you have anything to be sorry about? It was just because I was joking around.”
The reason Cho Seo-hyun apologized was simple.
Because she hit me hard on the forehead.
Then why did Cho Seohyun hit my forehead… ?
Her reason was simple.
“Oh, I suddenly felt the presence of a person and hurriedly took it off…”
Seohyun, who was immersed in her kiss, suddenly felt her presence outside her office, and she pushed my forehead.
The problem with her was that Seohyun was so flustered by her presence that she tried to push my forehead, but she couldn’t control her strength and she hit my forehead hard.
She was honestly sick.
Cho Seo-hyun is not an ordinary person walking around the streets.
The moment she failed to control her powers was to become her blow beyond her human realm.
Fortunately, I’ve surpassed that category…
Super Seohyun looked around her hallway, and after making sure that no one was there, she looked up at me and said,
“Now, look down for a moment. Let me see your condition.”
“Are you okay. To this extent…”
“Just get off!”
“Aagh!”
Cho Seo-hyeon jumped up and wrapped both hands around the nape of my neck and forced me to bend my upper body.
So, after she made me bend my upper body, she carefully examined my forehead, and then she sighed and said to me.
“After class, I go to the recovery room. There are no wounds… Because it looks like it’s bruised.”
“Ah, the recovery room is like this…”
“If you go, go.”
Cho Seohyun put on an expression of sincere apology for something that was not a big deal to her.
Perhaps she wondered if it had something to do with the many scars on her body.
My forehead looked as if I hoped that there would be no stain from her wounds.
I nodded her head, changing the atmosphere with a smile at Seohyun.
“I will definitely go. And don’t worry too much.”
“Whoa… I’ve been joking around since morning, what is this?”
I put her hand on her sullen, super Seohyun’s shoulder and smiled at her to change her mood.
“I was pretty good, but Instructor Cho Seo-hyun wasn’t so good?”
“…”
Super Seohyeon was silent for a while, then she smiled and turned her head away.
“I’ll come running again later. I am usually nervous.”
Haha.”
After releasing her sullen aura of her super Seohyeon, I headed to her qi and her 5th class together with her.
Private conversations had come and gone a little while ago, but from now on, things about her classes came and went.
Cho Seohyun told me something important about her.
“Today, we will inform the cadets about the evaluation match and conduct intense training.”
“Speaking of evaluation competition… It was like a graduation exam, right?”
“That’s right.”
Have heard of it before
The consulate is a three-year program, and the third-year students are expected to graduate this year.
The 3rd year students who are about to graduate like that compete against each other in the 2nd semester and show off their final skills… That was an evaluation match.
“Isn’t the evaluation match held in the second semester? Shouldn’t we talk about it after vacation?”
“No. I have to tell them in advance before the vacation so that I can train more desperately during the vacation.”
Haha… I feel sorry for them.”
I didn’t feel a little pity.
No matter how good she is treated, she is guaranteed a future as much as she has suffered… After all, cadets were also students.
Before graduation, the last vacation to leave memories of youth… It was a pity that I had to carry the burden during the vacation.
Cho Seohyun shook her head and replied.
“I’m sorry to burden you during the vacation, but the assessment test is the last chance of a lifetime. I don’t want to blow that opportunity with just a break.”
A sense of responsibility was rising strongly in every word Cho Seo-hyun said.
Cho Seo-hyun’s attitude must have been influenced by the trauma she suffered.
She must have done poorly on the evaluation test…
However, there was one thing that raised my doubts.
“A chance? It seems important, but… I don’t think it’s a last chance.”
From my point of view, I thought that the evaluation match was just like a graduation exam.
It’s important, but… I didn’t quite understand the expression last chance.
Cho Seohyun shook her head as she smiled as she looked at me.
“The evaluation match is not just a test in which cadets compete against each other in the practice room.”
“Sure?”
In the second, Seohyun crossed her arms and let out a heavy voice with a hard expression.
“The confrontation takes place in the large arena at the consulate. And in the arena… Representatives and leaders of various guilds… Even politicians come and watch.”
The evaluation was not an evaluation made by the consulate.
It was an evaluation given by the world where the cadets would later unleash their power.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, some of the cadets were scouted by large guilds because they showed much better skills than usual.
“The burden on the cadets must be quite heavy.”
“That’s right. It’s a huge burden. Unexpected mistakes come out, and even… Because the mistakes you made are a test that spreads into bigger mistakes.”
Second Seohyun, as if she had remembered something bad, for a moment, but she put on a sullen expression.
“That much… It is an important test.”
“…”
I felt sorry for Cho Seo-hyun and changed the atmosphere.
“It is a very important match. How do you plan to conduct the class?”
“Kuhm… Each of them will conduct sparring training, and one by one, they will have a one-on-one confrontation with me and find out their weaknesses.”
It was similar to the class so far, but the difference was that Cho Seo-hyeon took part in it herself.
“The goal is to find out the weak points as much as possible before the vacation and make up for them during the vacation.”
It was Cho Seo-hyun’s idea that finding and reducing invisible flaws as much as possible was the best education that could be given to third-year students.
‘If there’s only one opponent, there won’t be any panic like the last time, right?’
Unlike the last time when we fought Cho Seo-Hyeon as a group, we will fight one-on-one directly, so Seo-Hyun Cho will not be cornered.
[I don’t think there will be any problem just by looking at the skills shown in the cadets’ temperament window.]
Even if there were outstanding cadets like Song Ah-ra in Class 5, there was bound to be a difference in skill between the cadet who was just about to graduate and the active hero.
In a one-on-one match, Cho Seo-hyeon will not go through any trouble.
Thinking so, I asked Seohyeon Cho.
“Then what can I do to help you in the meantime?”
“Please help the cadets to respond to archery.”
“Is it archery?”
“Yes. When you meet a cadet who is good at bows, deal with them with bows so that you can deal with them.”
For reference, I also said that like Cho Seo-hyeon, we will proceed in a 1-on-1 sparring format.
However, if there was a difference, it wasn’t really sparring, it was a format where the cadets would avoid shooting arrows unilaterally by myself.
“Can’t I fight while sparring myself?”
“That doesn’t work.”
It was a regretful moment because I wondered if I could not believe in my ability.
Cho Seo-hyun noticed my regretful atmosphere and quickly continued his explanation.
“I am not questioning my abilities. But… I just want to make sure I don’t get into real trouble later.”
“Are you in trouble?”
“Yes. Assistant Instructor… There is nothing good about standing out for nothing.”
Unlike regular instructors, most of the assistant instructors played a bigger role in supporting them than in direct combat.
Of course, it didn’t stop the direct sparring itself.
When Cho Seo-hyeon practiced with the cadets as a group, I was a combative supporter next to him.
However, it was said that if the assistant instructor’s skills were excellent and he took on a role similar to that of the official instructor, problems would arise.
The problem is…
“Other classmates will voice their dissatisfaction, saying it’s unreasonable.”
“Ah…”
It was the dissatisfaction of the cadets from other classes.
The assistant instructors working at the consulate were less motivated than I thought.
Official instructors tended to disrespect assistant instructors because they were from real heroes, and it was because no matter how hard they worked, they didn’t feel greatly rewarded.
As a result, I naturally tended to do my own thing roughly and move on.
But if I work so hard that rumors spread that there seem to be two official instructors only in class 5… It was Cho Seohyeon’s idea that not only the other cadets, but also the assistant instructors would voice their dissatisfaction.
“And there is another reason besides that. Other regular instructors may give you a strange look.”
“Look at me… ?”
“I hate to say this with my own mouth, but… There are many strange people among the instructors.”
Official instructors earned the title of hero in society, but there were many beings who were far from the title of hero.
In particular, among them, there were some instructors with a sense of choice.
The assistant instructors claim to have some skills, and if you work hard on this or that, the beings who will pick up the pod and start a fight…
“Until I pass this year’s official hero test, I prefer to remain as inconspicuous as possible.”
“Hmm… All right.”
When I listened to Cho Seo-hyeon’s words, I could realize that I was lucky.
Cho Seo-hyun and Sung Soo-ah.
If the guys like Cho Seo-Hyun mentioned were in charge of me instead of the two, it would have been a series of annoying things every day.
Cho Seo-hyun looked at me and smiled.
“If any of the instructors are arguing with you, tell me.”
Cho Seohyun crossed her arms and opened her mouth with a hearty smile.
“I will go and educate you properly. Because there is no one higher than me among the instructors right now.”
Haha… All right.”
He seemed to think that he had a very solemn expression, but in my eyes he looked like a cute tomboy.
Looking at such a tomboy-like Cho Seo-hyeon, a desire welled up inside me.
‘And… I want to stroke her hair.’
But I endured the urge and in the end, my hand didn’t go over Cho Seo-hyun’s head.
‘I’m sure he’ll get angry.’
If he is treated like a child in the current atmosphere, Cho Seo-hyun will surely get angry.
‘Heh heh… Later, when I’m alone, I’ll put it on my lap and stroke it.’
I entered the 5th class with Cho Seo-hyeon, promising later.
..
..
I sighed as I finished my morning class and headed to the restaurant.
‘It’s not easy.’
The class was harder than expected.
In fact, the reason for the hardship was not because of the physical pain.
‘I can’t shoot properly because I’m worried that the kids will get hurt.’
It was because of a mental problem.
It was because he was confident in shooting arrows and hitting them, but shooting arrows so that the cadets would not get hurt was another matter.
‘Well, the kids won’t die or get hurt if they get hit by my arrows…’
I only thought about the accuracy rate and did not put any energy into the arrow.
Because the cadets were basically talented people, it was rare to get hurt by an arrow without any power.
But isn’t there a story of one in ten thousand?
If I get hurt even by mistake, it’s not just me who will have a problem, but Cho Seo-hyun, who is in charge of me, will also have a problem.
‘I’ll have to deal with arrows without arrowheads from tomorrow.’
I was able to arrive at the restaurant while making plans for tomorrow.
And the moment I arrived, a woman caught my eye in front of the restaurant.
‘And… It’s been a while.’
Long hair, a graceful body, and a modest posture.
Even if she is said to be every man’s ideal type based on her appearance, she is a woman with such an appearance that she will never be inferior.
She was a holy child.
But such Sung Soo-ah…
‘… Huh? I think he’s upset about something?’
He was staring at me with a dissatisfied expression.
