Chapter 86 – Episode 86 Hero Academy (1-5)
‘Ah, that’s crazy!!’
[Almost there.]
I was madly climbing the mountain when I blew the dust.
Now, this is a mountain behind the consulate, which was owned by the consulate.
And this mountain was a favorite place for cadets to practice.
Fortunately, the mountain was paved, so there were no falls or injuries.
The problem is my stamina….
‘Oh, I found it….’
[Fortunately, it seems that the monster has just been defeated.]
‘… Let me rest.’
Currently, this mountain is being used as a training ground for Kiwa Class 5.
The reason I ran so damn hard is for the evaluation….
Originally, all situations had to be recorded and transmitted with the smart watch provided to each cadet for a collective evaluation later.
However, due to the previous monster intrusion incident, the server was down, and thanks to this, the instructor was following along and evaluating it manually.
I caught my breath and checked all the fallen monsters.
No, Armonia did it, not me.
[Currently, all the monsters in the guardian’s field of view appear to have died.]
‘… Thank you.’
I skimmed through it and handwritten the review in the file I brought with me.
As I gasped and filled out my evaluation, a cadet approached me.
It was Song Ara.
“Sam…. Are you okay?”
“Ah, it’s okay.”
It was an embarrassing situation, but he responded calmly.
Anyway, I couldn’t keep up with the stamina of these monsters with my lower body.
‘Ah, I will go to Straw later and learn movement-related magic…’ .’
[I think it is essential to learn to work here.]
My fraudulent hand skills didn’t help a thing in this situation.
The other cadets looked at me strangely, but Song Ah-ra looked at me with worried eyes.
“Sir, I sweat a lot.”
As she said that, she wiped the sweat from my forehead with the sleeve of her uniform.
I was startled and pulled her head back.
“Oh, it’s okay. Go and rest I have to take a 10-minute break and go to the next area, so rest until then.”
“Ah, I’m not having a hard time at all.”
I thought as I looked at her smiling and jumping up and down.
Envy you…. I think I will die
..
..
After the actual battle in the mountain was over, the match was broken by Cho Seo-hyeon.
“No, what if I can’t catch up with one of them?”
“Sorry.”
I apologized on the line without being discouraged.
Because when you do something wrong, you do something wrong.
‘Sibral, I’m definitely learning something like light engineering….’
[I hope that such a world will come someday.]
Super Seohyeon yearned for that, and she muttered quietly while sighing.
“This is what makes me happy….”
“….”
I’ve been listening to that mandeuk countless times all day today.
At first, I thought it was something, but Armonia found information and found it.
(It is said that those who go over 10,000th place in the hero rank are called that.)
Heroes, of course, also have a hierarchy.
And the end of the sequence is set to 10000.
Anything more than that doesn’t mean much.
Also, my ranking is not marked on my profile, but I explained that it was not marked above 10,000.
Such people cannot even use the title of hero, and they themselves are reluctant to use it.
What is the pride of a being beyond the ranks of a hero? .
I finished the morning class while listening to Mandeuk until the end.
..
..
As I headed to the restaurant, I tried my best to come up with a countermeasure.
And the answer came!
‘Ah! You talked about light engineering earlier! Let’s learn that with Enello!’
[… Sorry. That’s impossible.]
‘Uh?! Why?’
[In order to learn a skill, you must face the person who has that skill.]
He explained that he was able to learn all of his current skills because he faced them face-to-face.
Strae Luna, Sonya. Beatrice of the Demon King.
In other words, in order to learn something, you had to face someone with that ability at least once.
[Sorry for notifying you so late.]
‘No, then I have to go to Stra and learn movement magic later….’
Luna… I miss you….
The cadets here weren’t using light engineering.
They were purely fraudulent beings supported by stamina.
‘I’ll have to run hard until I get some numbers. Yes?’
Eventually, when we arrived at the restaurant without a solution, one person stood out.
It was Sung Soo-ah.
He was sitting alone at the table.
‘I’m so worried. Do you sit together or keep your distance? .’
[Can’t we just sit together?]
‘I’m already late….’
However, such worries were short-lived, and soon people began to gather around her.
There was no distinction between men and women, but there was an overwhelming majority of men.
‘Wow, is Seongsu-ah famous?’
[He often appears in the media under the alias of a contemplative elementalist.]
It was said that she was given this name because she could handle all four attributes of magic.
She is talented, has a good personality, and is popular.
Seong-soo knows her target, and the more often she sticks with her, the better.
However, the other person is definitely a woman who has been surrounded by many people.
If she continues to cling to her saying that she did one kindness yesterday, it might backfire.
It was enough to make friends during class, and she promised to eat together later.
‘Wow, was it because yesterday was crazy? It’s no joke today.’
[An atmosphere like yesterday would be good for accessibility, but it’s a pity.]
‘Well, what can I do? I think it’s time for a break, well.’
I received food alone and looked around.
I thought that if I ate at a place like this, I wouldn’t have to worry about eating alone.
I looked around to see if there was a quiet spot, and I saw one that stood out.
It was Song Ara.
Following yesterday’s salmon roe, she was cooking the parent salmon today.
The two beings who have been scattered so far will enter the final stage of the salmon supplement plan in Song A-ra’s body.
I was amazed to see Song Ara.
‘Wow, if you look at it like that, you’ll do a really good mukbang.’
First of all, if you have a face like that, you might not even know what men are, but you’ll come right in after seeing the thumbnail….
Also, I think the women will be confused and fall in love with it.
But strangely, there was no one around her.
‘What? Does he eat alone?’
Personally, I don’t think he’s that kind of guy.
[Looking at the traces around, it seems that the party I was sitting with left the seat first.]
‘Hemmy, there are plenty of kids who eat faster than him?’
Song A-ra, eliminated from eating show.
It’s a pity, but I can’t imagine going at that speed.
I put aside her thoughts about her, sat down at her table in the corner, ate her food alone, and headed to her Ma Gwa 7 class.
..
..
I was watching the cadets perform fancy magic at the magic training ground.
They cast magic with different attributes, and Seong Soo-ah was watching the cadets next to her and eagerly explaining her know-how.
However, it is a problem because the know-how is abstract….
Sitting in the corner of the training ground, I communicated leisurely.
‘Ah… So comfortable… I only want to take charge of the magi department.’
[The body is comfortable, but you must not lower your guard.]
As Armonia said, it is comfortable to be in charge of the magic department, but you have to be careful to some extent.
This is because when a problem occurs, it can lead to a major accident if not acted upon quickly.
When I came here, my specialty was listed as wind attribute.
Seong Soo-ah said that she would be responsible for everything in case of any problems with the cadets, so she asked for the safety of the cadets.
Being in charge of the magic department was not a big problem.
The level of the cadets was on the high side, but at that level, they could use the dismantling technique, so there was no big concern.
The biggest problem was different.
‘Sung Soo-ah, I can’t see the answer….’
[It will be the most troublesome case out of all the women I’ve ever met.]
What I do in this vast magic training ground is to keep a certain distance and take responsibility for safety.
Seong Soo-ah went near her students and taught her each and every one in her own way.
First of all, it was an environment where the influence of pheromones was difficult.
However, you cannot meet privately after class.
Would you accept it if I personally asked you to have a drink?
I thought maybe I would gladly allow him to eat, but not alcohol.
Rather, the moment I ask, the image of a man is reflected on me, and I may be stigmatized as not being able to attack.
‘I’m sure if I love you like that, I don’t have to be wary of the men around me, but if I feel like a man, I might cut off the buds.’
There was a high possibility that he prevented himself from being shaken for no reason.
[How do you plan to approach it?]
‘Sung Soo-ah needs to build a lot of friendships with colleagues first.’
She was, in a nutshell, a story about being genuinely friendly, no matter how long it took.
For the time being, she decided to turn off her dark feelings for Seong Soo-ah.
But it’s not enough just to be friends with her.
‘And….’
[… ?]
‘There has to be an opportunity to break something like Lena. Whether natural… Either artificially.’
In Lena’s case, in a big way, her life has gone downhill because of me.
Do you feel guilty?
Not at all.
She says she’s happy in my arms now, what’s the problem?
But the most important thing here is the decision.
What I’m doing is building the nuclear bomb and getting it to work, not hitting the launch button.
You don’t even know what that button is and you have to make the main character press it by mistake.
Like a young warrior leaving the battlefield.
Limited time 1 year.
It felt like a real long-term mission.
***
“You worked hard today too.”
Seong Soo-ah announces the end of her class with her final greeting in Magwa class 7, where the evening sunset forms a border with various shadows.
And the cadets who were sitting freely greeted with a smile.
“See you tommorow! Wow! Let’s eat!!”
“I’m hungry, I’m hungry!”
Because it was a class with only five students, we walked out of the classroom with a friendly smile.
Seong Soo-ah confirmed that the cadets had left, and smiled and said to Seong Su-ho.
“You worked hard today.”
“Ah, did I do something? Thank you for your effort.”
Seong Su-ho, who exchanged her greetings with Sung Soo-ah, cautiously left the classroom.
Seong Soo-ah confirmed that he had left and turned on her cell phone to check his address book.
-Cho Kang-hyun-
“… Oppa, are you busy today?”
Seong Soo-ah had no family.
She is from an orphanage and has lost her family in a major incident in the past.
When she said her brother, she meant Cho Ganghyeon.
‘But one more time… No, let’s not be in a hurry….’
She remembered Cho Kang-hyeon’s words that she could never remember.
(Sorry, I’m really busy. If it’s not urgent, I’ll call first.)
(…Yes, sorry.)
(No, I’m really sorry. I’ll see you every day after I get married anyway. Hold on until then.)
(…Yes.)
After that, Seong Soo-ah did not make her phone call to Cho Kang-hyeon first.
She always waited for his call.
Then she called sometimes and all we did was have dinner together on weekends.
Even that meal had a strong sense of formality to her.
But whenever she met her, even for a short while, she felt better.
‘… It must be because of me.’
She remembered her past.
At the time Seong Soo-ah entered the consulate, Cho Kang-hyeon was a third-year engineering student.
Having maintained her first-class position with her overwhelming skill, he was the object of her respect for Seong Soo-ah.
And by the end of the school year, she had a chance to make friends with him, and she could become close to her fiancé at some point.
At that time, Jiang Xian was always kind.
But at some point, his cold emotions felt on his own skin.
No matter how much she thought about it, Seong Soo-ah couldn’t figure out why.
She had no problem with her super-strong, and she decided that the problem was with herself.
There was only one conclusion that Sung Soo-ah came to.
‘… Now there’s no reason to like an older woman like me.’
At only 26 years old, she was just in the blooming age of youth.
However, she began to have the illusion that there was a problem within herself.
At some point, she started paying attention to her appearance.
She wasn’t for herself.
She focused everything on the liking of Cho Kang-hyeon.
Seong Soo-ah, who had no interest in her luxuries, began decorating for him.
But she found that no matter how hard she tried, she was not confident in his gaze.
Sung Soo-ah smiled bitterly and blamed herself.
“… Don’t think it’s weird It must be because you are busy.”
She forced a smile, grabbed her bag, and was about to leave her classroom.
Someone entered the classroom.
“Yes? Instructor Sung Soo-ah, haven’t you gone yet?”
It was Seongsuho.
