Chapter 90 – Episode 90 Hero Academy (1-9)
“… I can’t see it. Is it bad timing?”
Seong Soo-ah looked around the cafeteria in her usual casual suit early in the morning.
But the person he was looking for was nowhere to be found.
“Or are you not eating breakfast?”
As she thought, Sung Soo-ho tended to skip breakfast.
And in fact, the cafeteria was also the most generous in the morning.
The restaurant, which was bustling at lunchtime, had a quiet atmosphere in the morning.
She was proof that more people skip breakfast than they thought.
Seong Soo-ah decided that she did not have Seong Soo-ho, and she tried to settle down by herself in moderation.
However, a presence different from the loose atmosphere of that morning was visible.
A cadet who happily puts the amount of food in her mouth, which seems to be twice that of the others.
It was Song Ara.
There was no one around her to the point where Song Ah-ra stood out.
‘Today I am alone….’
Seong Soo-ah smiled bitterly and sat down next to Song A-ra.
“Can I sit with you?”
“Oops! Sir! Sure!”
Song Ah-ra said, worried that her food might splash on Sung Soo-ah, so she covered her mouth.
“Sam… Is that author coming next week?”
“… I’m planning to go to school from next week, but it’s not confirmed.”
“Ah….”
Song Ah-ra listened to her words and bit the tip of her spoon to her lips, making a sullen expression.
Seong Soo-ah smiled at her and said.
“Don’t worry. I will definitely come back.”
Hehe….”
Song Ah-ra said that and started putting her rice into her mouth.
Seong Soo-ah asked Song A-ra what she had been thinking about since yesterday.
“Araya.”
“Nem.”
“Do you know what men like?”
“A man?”
Song Ara tilted her head and directed her gaze to the ceiling.
She thought for a few seconds, then, patting her table lightly with the palm of her hand, she said.
“It’s a VR device.”
“… Isn’t that what you like?”
Hehe… It is, but… The boys are making a fuss about becoming a hero and saying that if they earn money, they will buy from it.”
“How are you?”
“… Absolutely number 1hehe….”
The VR headgear was priced at 500 million won even though it was a low-end model of the VR system.
There was also a capsule that was more expensive than that, but it was difficult to purchase even Seong Soo-ah, who is an active hero.
She was a guy similar to the one used in consulates now.
‘I’m sure Ara will be able to live soon.’
If you ask all the instructors who they think will be graduating top this year, they will name only one.
Song ara
She was a child who was highly regarded in all areas of skill, talent, and mentality.
But if she has a problem with her….
‘Everybody would have liked it if they had a little more flexibility….’
Despite her reputation as a cadet and her outstanding skills, the cadets around her did not approach her well.
It wasn’t that she hated it, she was reluctant to everyone.
Even at such a young age, not being too judo-ri is rather a flaw.
However, Seong Soo-ah put aside her worries as she watched Song A-ra happily eat.
‘Well, I’m not in a position to worry about this kid…. But it’s a VR device….’
Even in her memory, Seong Soo-ho’s memory of yesterday acting as if she enjoyed virtual reality remained.
However, considering the price of the VR headgear, she felt that it was too much for a gift for her colleague, no matter how close she considered it.
‘… Shall I give you mine?’
She didn’t think it was bad.
The VR headgear that Suah Seong has has been around since she bought it, and most of all, she hasn’t been using it at all.
Although expensive at the time she bought it, she decided that keeping something she wouldn’t use wasn’t a good idea.
‘Yes, that would be nice.’
As Seong Soo-ah took a spoonful of rice from her plate, she worried.
‘… I’m sure he won’t be offended that he used it, right?’
***
“You don’t have to give it to me.”
“… Yes?”
I tried to return the card key to the VR virtual training machine room to Seohyun Cho, but she was refused to return it.
Cho Seohyun glanced to the side of her with her short stature with her arms crossed, she said.
“Anyway, during VR virtual training, an assistant instructor must accompany you unconditionally. So, don’t lose it and use it however you like.”
“All right.”
“Then you did a good job today, let’s go.”
“Yes.”
I briefly answered Cho Seo-hyun’s words and tried to leave her office.
However, I heard whispers from the side of me.
(It’s amazing, was Instructor Seohyeon Cho such a good person to the assistant instructor?)
(That’s right, by now they’d be shouting out loud and blaming the wrongdoing.)
(I think I did well on the first day.)
(…You said kid?)
(Ayy, other than that. During the weapons delivery ceremony, the two of them finished it really quickly. Listening to it, that assistant instructor seems to be quick with his work.)
(Ah….)
I was relieved to catch a glimpse of their conversation.
‘Cho Seohyun… How the hell do you usually do things….’
[Identification of temperament on the first day was really helpful.]
‘Really… If it wasn’t for that, it’s terrifying to imagine.’
I pretended not to hear the whispers of the people around me and headed to the restaurant for lunch.
At the restaurant we arrived at, we saw cadets and staff busily moving to eat lunch.
“What’s for today’s side dish?”
“Today’s Korean food, the main menu is beef, egg rolls and seaweed soup.”
“Oh yeah, honey… Uh?”
I answered without knowing, and then came back.
Seongsuah smiled and held her plate.
..
..
“I’m so sorry about that….”
“Don’t stress too much. … Do you hate it?”
I heard the explanation from Sung Soo-ah.
It had happened the day before, and she said she would give it to her because she had a VR headgear she didn’t use.
I guessed what her Seongsu-ah’s heart was like.
‘It’s like a style where you can’t live without committing a crime….’
[However, the problem is that it also applies to her boyfriend.]
‘… That’s why I want to play virtual reality games together.’
Looking at yesterday’s Seongsu-ah, it seemed that she would open her heart gradually, not paying attention to places where she was certain that no one would see her.
So she wanted to get a VR device….
“Please. If she had money, she would have bought it long ago.”
“That’s fortunate. Then, I will ask the dormitory to send it to you tonight.”
“Ah… Still, it’s a very expensive device….”
In fact, she didn’t have the heart to say no to her nails.
She really wanted it, but there was no reason to stop her from giving it to her.
However, the reason she wanted to have a VR device in the first place was not to enjoy the game.
He just needed a medium to connect with Sung Soo-ah.
If you just take it like this, you just get a good game machine.
Sung Soo-ah was disappointed with a sad expression.
“You don’t have to worry….”
She has carefully chosen what the other person likes as her gift, and there is nothing more disappointing than seeing the other person feel uncomfortable.
Despite Seong Soo-ah’s continued persuasion, I defended with an iron wall.
I persuaded Sung Soo-ah with a puzzled expression.
“That is… Even if I get it, I have to do it alone anyway.”
“Ah….”
Originally, online mode should also be possible, but now all Internet networks from outside except for the basic communication network were blocked due to consulate server problems.
VR headgear can also be used, but it could only be used using the internal network.
It can be used by people inside the consulate, but in the first place, there was no VR headgear equipped except for official instructors.
Even if I didn’t have a close relationship with the instructor, it was only for fun alone.
Seong Soo-ah closed her eyes for a while, then she smiled and said.
“Then why don’t you try it with me?”
***
“Whew… Is the installation complete?”
As soon as Seong Soo-ah arrived at her dormitory, she asked to deliver her VR headgear, which was installed in her room, to her Seong-su-ho’s room, and installed the new device she received today.
As she heard the reason for her refusal of the Holy Guard and was considering her other gifts, she remembered her words the other day she had heard her entering the consulate.
(For consular instructors, we lend VR headgear free of charge while completing the instructor position. Well, most of them already have them, so no one wants to borrow them.)
Seong Su-ah remembered those words, and she immediately explained her situation to Seong Su-ho and suggested that they come together.
After hearing her explanation, Seong Soo-ho smiled brightly and readily gave her an ok.
As soon as Seong Soo-ah finished her class, she headed to the furnishings room to borrow her headgear.
Her headgear type was not difficult to install, and she was able to install it easily even for Seongsu-ah.
“I hope I will be with you…. But by the time you get tired of playing with me, you can use it online again, right?”
She wasn’t particularly interested in the game.
However, she wanted to try a little more because the feeling of being in virtual reality she experienced yesterday remained as a good memory.
“Once, linking mobile phone information to the device….”
Unlike the capsule type, this VR device was a system that registered personal information rather than biometric registration.
She lay down on the bed with her headgear on when she saw the message that the information and contacts on her phone had been linked with the device.
“And when I press this button…. Ah! Do!”
When the button on the device was pressed, a screen was displayed in front of it, warnings and important phrases were displayed.
-Connect in 15 seconds.-
-Before connecting, stop all fire hazard devices in the house… –
As Seong Soo-ah read her warnings carefully, her vision went black.
..
..
“Hey, wait a minute, your clothes… Phew… It’s normal this time.”
As soon as Seong Soo-ah logged on, she carefully checked her outfit.
She didn’t have a face to see him again if there was a problem like yesterday.
“First, find Mr. Seong Su-ho in your contact information….”
Seong Soo-ah was able to find Seong Su-ho in an instant after displaying her contact list as a hologram.
As soon as she always saved her contacts, she organized them meticulously, so even though she had many people registered, she was able to quickly find and remember the person she needed.
“For a moment! First… Let’s make the connection private….”
There was one reason why Sung-soo had a VR headgear, but she didn’t use it well.
This is because the wrong people keep contacting her whenever she uses this device, which she bought because she wanted to meet Cho Kang-hyeon.
She misunderstood Seongsuah, who couldn’t refuse a favor, that men like games.
Thanks to that, she was able to play RPG games and fighting games, but she didn’t find it fun at all.
In the end, the headgear became a nuisance that was kept in a box in the corner of the room.
“At that time, I didn’t keep it private because I was afraid my brother would come in, but… If I’m with Seong Soo-ho now, I might misunderstand. Let’s keep it private.”
Seong Soo-ah set her connection to private and requested a voice chat with Seong Su-ho.
“Can you hear me?”
(Ugh! What a surprise!)
“Pooh… Are you surprised?”
Seong Soo-ah thought while laughing.
‘When I’m with this person, there is a lot of laughter.’
Seong Soo-ho, unable to see Sung Soo-ah’s smile, explained in her flustered voice.
(Ah… Instructor Seongsuah? It’s my first time, so I’m confused….)
“It’s okay. I will tell you step by step.”
Seong Soo-ah hadn’t logged on for a long time, so her memory was fuzzy, but she decided to connect after deciding on a game.
“I think it’s important to meet in person first. Wouldn’t it be easier to explain while staying next to you?”
(Yes, I guess.)
“First, click on the game list on the screen and then tell me what game you want to play.”
(Ah… I….)
Sung Soo-ah thought to herself.
‘If you’re a man, would you like fighting games or FPS games?’
It was a limited environment because it was not online, but most games were inside the headgear.
However, since most of them are applied in a trial version, if you want to do it officially, you have to buy a chip from outside or purchase and download the game online.
‘Anyway, if it’s a battle format or an RPG, you’ll enjoy it for a week or two without difficulty.’
Seong Soo-ho, who felt like he was thinking about it carefully, told Seong Soo-ah the title of the game he wanted to play.
“This animal town? This will be fine.”
“… An animal town?”
Seong Soo-ah also knew about the game.
It was a game where she lived a slow life while living in a rural village and decorated the place.
Even though she was a saint, she had played the game for a while, and she had memories of enjoying it.
The direction of this game was originally a slow life game, but it started to become famous in the other direction.
It has also established itself as one of the games enjoyed by meeting lovers from a distance.
However, thanks to the high price of VR equipment and the passage of time, there are almost no users now.
‘At that time, I asked my brother to do it together, but he said no…. Let’s try it….’
Seong Soo-ah hid her depressed heart and spoke to Seong Su-ho through voice chat.
“Then let’s do it. First, I will connect as the host. Connect right away.”
(Yes.)
As soon as Seongsuah started her game, she saw a beautiful landscape with vast plains and surrounding mountains in her field of vision.
‘… It was such a good feeling even back then.’
Seong Soo-ah, intoxicated by her natural scenery, was looking at the sun floating in the sky.
Seong Soo-ah, who had been staring blankly at her, regained her senses and went looking for Seong Su-ho.
“Ah! Instructor Seong Soo-ho… Oh!”
“….”
Suddenly, in front of Sung Soo-ah’s eyes, there was a kid about the size of an elementary school student.
“Has this child ever been an NPC? What should we do… You are so cute!”
Seong Soo-ah hugged her little boy, who seemed to be her NPC, and started rubbing as much as she could.
Even though she is Seongsu who likes children, she usually doesn’t carelessly hug a child, but thanks to the environment that she is in a game, she hugs her without hesitation.
As she was frantically hugging and rubbing, she heard a voice.
“That… Instructor Seong Soo-ah….”
“Ah! I’m sorry. Because the child is so cute… Huh? Where are you in now?”
Seong Su-ah heard a voice that she assumed was Seong Su-ho, but even when she looked around, she couldn’t find Seong Su-ho.
And in her bosom, her little boy spoke softly.
“… Here you are.”
