Ryu Seo-yeon (5)
“Isn’t it scary?”
Ryu Seo-yeon said to me. As she spoke while showing the wounds she had stabbed with a sword, she could guess what she meant.
‘···I asked what he was thinking.’
Aren’t you afraid to get hurt, or even more afraid to die?
It was a question that could be answered simply as scary or not scary, but I couldn’t open my mouth easily.
As a coach, I have already experienced that the words I lightly spit can change someone’s life. Intuitively, I knew that according to my answer, I would impress Ryu Seo-yeon.
I closed my eyes, looked back at my memories, and thought calmly. In the end, the answer I could give was decided.
I opened my eyes and looked at Ryu Seo-yeon. Whether it was a glimmer of anticipation, her unknown emotions were visible in Ryu Seo-yeon’s eyes.
But you won’t be able to satisfy those feelings.
“If you have an answer you want, tell me. That will be my answer.”
Ryu Seo-yeon’s brow frowns at a slight interval.
Even if you make a face like that, you can’t help it. Because this was the best answer I could give from my experience so far.
Before any other misunderstandings arose with Ryu Seo-yeon, I asked while getting closer.
“Before that, let me ask you. I’m just saying this just in case, are you saying that I’m worried that you’re imprisoning me in the temple?”
Ryu Seo-yeon averted her gaze for a moment, and then met their eyes. Whoops. She opens her mouth and takes a deep breath in her. But her voice was muffled.
“······uh.”
phew. It wasn’t because I was beaten. I felt a little reassured.
“Because I’m not in a relationship to tell you not to do anything dangerous. No matter how hard I try, you will not be able to listen to me.”
“no. Not that sound.”
I gave the exact meaning to Ryu Seo-yeon, who misunderstood the intention of the question.
“Why do you care about this? Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it’s rude. purely out of doubt.”
Ryu Seo-yeon let out a deep sigh as if she had given up now.
“You are really… Yes, this is how it happened.”
As if he had made a decision, his face was a little red and he began to speak with a rapid-fire cannon.
“You keep doing reckless things all of a sudden on a weak subject!”
A little startled by the momentum, I reflexively straightened my bowed back.
“Why did you go out when the Necromancers attacked? And what if you die? Why did you join the expedition again? It’s for money? Why do you care? It’s because I’m worried. Is there any other reason? What? It’s like getting hurt. Aren’t you afraid to die? Last time…!”
As he spoke, his voice grew louder and his speed grew even faster. As if he had finally said everything he wanted to say, Seo-yeon Ryu took a rough breath.
I asked Ryu Seo-yeon, who was shaking her shoulders.
“Do you know why I asked why I wanted an answer?”
I continued speaking because there was no answer.
“There is no fixed answer to your question.”
Each situation has different conditions. A consistent answer is impossible in the first place.
I was confused when I came to this world. But when he caught the monsters, he wasn’t afraid. This has nothing to do with specials. In the end, he had to adapt, so his ‘strong mind’ was not normally activated.
Not to mention, there were times when I won games that I vaguely thought I would lose while on active duty, and there were times I lost games that I played with confidence.
There is no such thing as a set condition.
But isn’t it scary?
To say it was scary would be a lie, and to say it was not scary would be a lie after all.
“Why did I say that? I just do my best. I didn’t even think about the issue of scary or not scary in the first place.”
“I did it because I had to, because I wanted to. …you also have a look around you, so the pressure will be even greater. ”
As an adult, I also had a hard time seeing stories of people being criticized for their performance. But how can a 17-year-old girl withstand the pressure of interest, expectation, and disappointment? At this time, being an Awoken was of no use.
“…I didn’t think of it in the first place.”
But Ryu Seo-yeon mumbled those words blankly. Embarrassed by the serious reaction, I gently patted the back of my head.
“It’s just that. As you said, I’m weak, so I can’t afford to worry about that. How long are you going to keep the boat open? I catch a cold.”
“… just now after staring at you?”
“You sound misleading. It’s because you showed your wounds.”
Ryu Seo-yeon narrowed her eyes and gently raised the hem of her dress. From her abdomen to her ribs a little is visible.
When I step back, startled, my lips twitched to see if the reaction was funny. You should dry it before you do anything weirder…
When I turned around, Yoon-ha Oh was holding her arms crossed at the door of the health room that had just opened.
“What are you doing?”
Oh Yoon-ha looked at me with a contemptuous expression.
I wondered why it was like that, but when I think about it, there is only Ryu Seo-yeon holding up her clothes and me looking at her.
It’s embarrassing.
It’s Ryu Seo-yeon who spread the boat, so why do I have to receive such a gaze?
Before I could protest, Oh Yun-ha moved her hand, and an intangible force lifted me up. Oh Yoon-ha shook his head and said.
“Hey, pervert. Come outside. Because your class teacher came to see Seoyeon.”
“Okay, so please let me go. Don’t even call me a pervert.”
“huh.”
uhh The power that had been holding me back quickly disappeared.
I was about to go out, but I had the power to pull on my clothes. When I turned her head, I saw Ryu Seo-yeon holding my collar.
“Don’t go out, stay with me.”
I think I know what’s causing this strange reaction.
‘Wow. It’s probably because of Oh Yun-ha’s special privilege.’
That’s really annoying. Maybe it’d be better if it wasn’t updated.
I quickly deactivated the privilege mode by touching the smartphone. You will need to re-enable it later.
“Nope. I will just leave.”
Saying that, I tried to go outside again, but the force that held me back grew stronger. Looking back, Ryu Seo-yeon looked up at me and said cautiously.
“Just stay with me.”
Eh.
······what?
In the end, with only Oh Yun-ha outside, Dae-soo Lee, I, and Seo-yeon Ryu. These three were in the health room.
Lee Dae-soo said while checking the contact on his cell phone.
“It was concluded that there was a third party intervention. That dude named Beal must have been manipulated. In delirium, there was even a berserk magic on it.”
“It’s a pilot. Why didn’t you know that?”
“As the story goes, the monitoring magic is also a magic of a certain circuit, so if you modify it to avoid that magic, it won’t work. I don’t know what you’re talking about…”
Well, that’s why the instructor didn’t know either.
In a nutshell, it means that you cast the spell in a way that doesn’t get you under surveillance. More than that, the level of the monsters I fought with, and even the remodeling magic, I think the employer had a lot of money to use it.
“Did you know who the culprit was?”
“We are investigating that part now. Sorcerer Ron Ahatran intervened in the investigation, do you know who it is?”
“okay? Then it is reliable.”
I said over there.
It must have something to do with the tower, too. Hearing that Ron Ahart had intervened in the investigation, I was convinced. Still, I’m going to go on my own. I don’t know what the plot is.
“Then I’m happy.”
Lee Dae-su put his phone in and looked at Ryu Seo-yeon.
“So Yeon-ah, how about getting hurt? Can you still participate? It’s okay if you don’t overdo it.”
At those words, Seo-yeon Ryu thought deeply about something and asked.
“If I abstain, will my opponent go up?”
“no. That friend is also unconscious now, so it must be unreasonable. Maybe give one side a bye and move on to the round of 16?”
“You don’t have time to think?”
“yes. I’m sorry, but that’s right. The second year, the round of 32 was over, so I got a call saying that the round of 16 would be held later.”
“Ugh. Teacher.”
Ryu Seo-yeon turned her head toward me as she called for Lee Dae-soo. something significant
“Then why don’t you participate as a substitute for me?”
“It’s a proxy participation. who?”
“Baby.”
cock. The outstretched index finger pokes my cheek. Ryu Seo-yeon pointed at me.
“Please let Jihan go instead of me.”
I shook my head at the outrageous request. However, it seems that Ryu Seo-yeon was a serious opinion.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? would that be it?”
“I heard from Younha. He said he withdrew to protect me.”
Oh Yoon-ha, I told you not to tell this child, but I guess he just said it.
“Teacher. How can I not?”
“…hmm. That’s right.”
I knew it was an unreasonable request, but unexpectedly, Dae-soo Lee touched his chin and thought intently.
“In the end, Seoyeon suffered damage due to the security of the instructors. Above all, this is not a competition, but an event for fun, so there will be no problem with flexibility. If Jihan is okay with it, leave this to the teacher. You should talk about your situation.”
“Uh, if that’s the case, it’s good for me…”
I looked back at Ryu Seo-yeon because there was something to confuse me.
“Ryu Seo-yeon. Wouldn’t it be better for you to go out even if it was too much?”
At this last sports festival, Dalian seemed to have a rough idea of what Ryu Seo-yeon meant, so I couldn’t accept it at once. But Ryu Seo-yeon shook her head as if not to worry about it.
“I have no regrets now. I don’t want to overdo it.”
“Are you resigning?”
Ryu Seo-yeon said with a bright smile.
“I want you to show me instead.”
“Seed. without asking me I flew all the way to the team fight.”
Oh Yoon-ha grumbled as she sat cross-legged in the sitting room. Ryu Seo-yeon was sitting next to him. Her injuries were still not fully healed, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t move.
People around the audience sent voices of encouragement to Ryu Seo-yeon. After bowing her head to them, Ryu Seo-yeon looked at Oh Yun-ha.
“I’m sorry about that. I’ll buy you anything you want to eat.”
“Okay…”
Oh Yoon-ha looked down at the stadium with an unwilling expression. At the stadium where the round of 16 was about to start, there was a person who should have been Seo Ji-han and Ryu Seo-yeon’s opponent.
Seo Ji-han and his opponent were shaking hands before the match started. The opponent, aspiring hero, said with a smile.
“I heard a little bit about it. That’s cool.”
As Daesu Lee confidently said, this flexibility was established. It was accepted because he willingly said that there was no problem with the round of 16 opponents who would take the largest part in this exception.
Seo Ji-han waved her clasped hands to express her gratitude.
“Thank you for allowing me to play.”
“Ha ha ha, what? It would be me who wins anyway. Do not worry about it.”
Seo Ji-han smiled bitterly at the innocent provocation.
“I’m sorry, but I’m in desperate need of this.”
[Sub Quest: Reward for Faith]
[Condition – Winner of the overall match]
[compensation : ??]
Seo Ji-han looked at the system floating in front of him and said.
“I don’t want to be imprisoned.”
