Chapter 943 – 943. Savior of the Academy
“Jiyoung!”
I grabbed Kang Ji-young’s arm as she was walking towards the road and pulled me into my arms. The sports car passed by in an instant. This is also according to my plan. I could feel her voluptuous body intact in her arms.
“… What is this?”
Kang Ji-young asked with a straight face.
I hurried away from her.
“It is dangerous. What would happen if I got hit by a car?”
Kang Ji-young sighed as she looked at the sports car that had already disappeared from her sight.
“It’s not me that’s dangerous, it’s the sports car.”
“… Uh. It is.”
A beat late, I remembered Kang Ji-young as her S-class hero. In addition, Kang Ji-young’s endurance ability is S+. That’s enough to be fine even if it’s not a sports car, but a dump truck.
As I was scratching her head, Jiyoung Kang relaxed her expression and smiled.
“I have no intention of scolding you. I was just a little surprised by the sudden situation. What you did is right.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
“Where are you going after the cafe?”
“You know it’s an escape room cafe?”
“I did listen. A game whose purpose is to solve the problem in the room and escape.”
“I know that. But don’t you have high expectations?”
“Before I became dean, the main thing I did was escape the dungeon. I don’t think escaping the room is as suspenseful as that.”
“Escape from a room and escape from a dungeon are different. It’s just for fun.”
“…… Okay.”
Jiyoung Kang nodded her head. He still had no expectations for the escape room cafe.
I chose Escape Room Cafe for three reasons.
For one, she knew in advance that Kang Ji-young did not enjoy dramas or movies. The second is that her physical abilities of Kang Ji-young are so high that her active play or games will be boring to her.
And third. The escape room cafe is easy to adjust to your liking. I had already met with the owner of the escape room cafe a week ago and made a plan. The money was a little broken, but from my point of view, it didn’t matter because it was at the level of pocket money.
“… Love Connect?”
Kang Ji-young narrowed her eyes as she read the sign in front of the escape room cafe.
I said it casually.
“Yes? It was originally supposed to be Apocalypse Black Corporate Escape or something, but it seems to have changed a while ago. Well, since the escape room cafe is there, it won’t be too different. Let’s go in.”
“… It says here for couples only.”
“We are dating right now. They are a couple.”
“… Mmm.”
She was the one who frowned at her as if something was not right, but she soon walked into the escape room cafe with me.
“Welcome.”
The cafe owner greeted us. She was a woman in her thirties, and as I made eye contact, she subtly nodded her head.
“You came to use Love Connect, right? Couple discount applies. And could you wait a minute? I need to organize the set. It only takes about 10 minutes.”
I waited calmly while drinking the orange juice the cafe owner gave me. By now, the cafe owner will slightly change the escape room set.
The cafe owner handed us a walkie-talkie and said.
“You can use the walkie-talkie for giving up or hinting. There are two hints you can use. The escape time is 1 hour. Come in and let’s begin!”
Kang Ji-young and I started playing the room escape game in earnest.
The first room was a bright room that seemed to have been made with the theme of a princess room. Gorgeous bed and wardrobe. And a bright pink wallpaper. There was, however, an ill-suited steel door on one side of the wall. It’s a door lock Enter the password to open the door.
“Is it like this….”
“Jiyoung. We need to find clues.”
I looked around the bed, and Kang Ji-young rummaged through her desk. I found a book, and Jiyoung Kang stared at the laptop and camera on the desk.
“Jiyoung. I found it?”
“… The laptop on the desk bothers me. And there was an alphabetical table in the desk drawer.”
The alphabets written in the alphabet table were different in color with colorful colors. There are over 200 alphabets and 6 colors.
“What is that book?”
“Oh, this? I found it under the desk.”
It was a book of nearly 100 pages. It was a picture. A person is posing. A person’s appearance is distinguished by color.
“…… Indeed.”
Kang Ji-young seemed to notice something about her.
“What’s the matter?”
“Numbers and alphabet tables all over the place. And a book with human poses. It’s obvious when you look at the laptop and the camera.”
Jiyoung Kang pointed to the ceiling. The number 61 was written on the ceiling. Before long, she checked her alphabet. 61. The alphabet in place of 6 and 1 was blue.
“The alphabet is A and I. Substituting them numerically would be 1 and 9, pages 19 or 10 of the book. Check it out.”
I checked page 19 first. It was a pose with both hands spread out. The color of man is red.
“It’ll be page 10.”
Opened to page 10. Illustration of a blue person in a pose with one hand raised.
“The correct answer was to add the alphabetic digits.”
“You mean you can take a picture with this pose?”
“Maybe.”
I approached the camera and posed exactly as it was in the book. He raised one hand. Click. Kang Ji-young pressed the enter key to take a picture. But nothing happened.
“… Is not it?”
“…… You’d better gather all the other clues first.”
Gather clues. There were many numbers written on the left leg of the bed, inside the closet, under the laptop, etc.
“There are two poses of the same color…. I can see why it’s for couples only. Rather than posing alone, it seems that couples should pose together. The picture… You can use the camera’s timer function.”
Jiyoung Kang and I posed in front of the camera. It was a rather embarrassing pose, but Kang Ji-young, who fell in love with escaping the room, cared much more about her remaining time.
‘Because there are no poses that cross the line.’
I smirked in my heart and posed. The body touches and the skinship happens naturally. As soon as I took the correct pose, a message flew to my laptop. It was a message with only numbers written on it. We then took 3 poses in a row and got all the passwords so we could move on to the next room.
As soon as Kang Ji-young entered the room, she looked for clues. She was fortunate that she seemed to be enjoying herself properly.
•••
Escaped the room in 50 minutes.
Received a drink as a reward for success. And as a bonus, I received a picture of Kang Ji-young and me concentrating on escaping the room. Among them was a photo of me hugging Jiyoung Kang from behind.
“Jiyoung. Was it fun?”
“It was kind of fun.”
After this, my plan was to have a good time at karaoke, then part after dinner and a walk in the nearby park. However, an unexpected text message interrupted my plans.
Woo woo woo.
Looking at the contents, a monster appeared nearby, so it was said to evacuate. Unlike reality, in this world, monsters suddenly appear in the city.
People who received evacuation messages quickly ran into nearby buildings or started to flee to safer places.
I looked at Kang Ji-young. She seems to have no intention of running away from Kang Ji-young.
“To fight a monster?”
“There is no reason for me to run away from monsters. If there are monsters nearby, it’s better for me to get out and get rid of them quickly. It won’t be long, so stay here.”
“No. I want to go too Even if I look like this, I am a Maruhan Academy student.”
“I am the dean, but… Well, this will be a good experience for you too. Follow me.”
She galloped off It seems that you have already figured out where the monster is. I followed her She was so fast that I had to run with all my might to catch up with her.
The one that appeared in the city was a B-class monster called ‘Sapphire Negative’.
This guy with a huge body of more than 3m walks on two legs like a person, but he is a monster with blue jewels like sapphires embedded all over his body. However, it is not really a gem. It was only a part of the body that looked like a sapphire.
Since he is a person with mental attacks, even a B-class hero is on the tricky side to deal with, but Kang Ji-young strode forward without any defense and swung her fist.
Quaang!
That was it.
The monster’s head disappeared and the situation was over. She is also an S-class hero, her powers were extraordinary.
“It is not over yet.”
“What?”
“There are a few more a little further away. Perhaps a dungeon exploded near the city, and monsters appeared all over the city in the aftermath.”
She grasped the situation only with the appearance of the monster and ran again. It took her less than 10 minutes to find and kill all the monsters throughout the city.
After that, she dealt with the staff dispatched from the Hero Association and discussed her cleanup. It took just over an hour to process.
I spent time in the right place until the cleanup was over. There’s nothing good about finding out that me, an academy student, and her, the dean of her academy, were together.
“I’m sorry. Post-processing took longer than expected. It didn’t matter if I went back without having to wait….”
“No. Are you okay. It’s a long-awaited date, but it can’t end like this. It’s dinnertime, so let’s go eat. I made a reservation for a nice place.”
I went to a high-end restaurant with Kang Ji-young. It was run by a chef who often appeared on TV and played classical music.
She seriously asked Kang Ji-young while eating a dish of prawns as an appetizer.
“Jiyoung. To be honest, I’ve been curious about something for a long time.”
“What were you curious about? If it’s not difficult, I’ll answer.”
“Why did you become the dean of the academy?”
“Were you curious about that? I was nervous to say it with a serious face, but it’s not a more serious question than I thought.”
“No. It’s a pretty serious question. There might be a special story that I don’t know about.”
Dean of Maruhan Hero Academy in Korea.
Sounds like a great title.
The academy is a place where aspiring elite heroes go. Even if you graduate from the academy, you can act as at least a C-class hero. It is also possible to get a job in a famous clan.
It’s such a great academy, but it’s not enough reason for Kang Ji-young, an S-class hero, to take over as the academy’s dean.
It’s her, her S-class hero. Even if she does not take the position of dean of the academy, she can enjoy the wealth and glory of the movie. If she wants money, she’d better join the clan, if she wants fame and honor, she’d better join the Hero Association.
If she puts her heart into it, she will be able to secure the position of the president of the Korea Association without difficulty.
“It’s a special story…. It’s not that special.”
She laughed and took a sip of wine.
“I received a request from the second dean of the academy. She was indebted to him, so she agreed to accept the favor.”
“Is that all? She wouldn’t have had to do that.”
“Maybe that’s all. Right now, the academy is more precarious than you think. Big and small problems are happening inside and outside. The current head of the Korea Hero Association is looking at the academy with disapproval. Precisely, the reason is that the budget allocated to the academy is too large.”
“Are you crazy? Academy is the future of the Hero Association.”
Kang Ji-young only shrugged.
“The problem is inside. Anyway, you know roughly, so don’t tell me. Vice Dean. He is aiming for the position of dean. The reason why the second dean asked me to take the position is because of the dean.”
“Why is the vice-president? There doesn’t seem to be any major problems.”
“From the outside, it looks fine. However, the deputy dean is a figure who can wield power for her own gain. Academy students are immature. Young It doesn’t shake even with the slightest breeze. It’s a good environment for brainwashing. There’s quite a lot you can get, you don’t know. Especially from the clan….”
Jiyoung Kang shut her mouth. Because she brought the main dish by the waiter. She smiled bitterly. Looking at her form, she seemed to have a hard time continuing the conversation on this subject.
Me and her took forks and knives and sliced her steak.
“In short, that is it. I became the dean of the academy because I was asked to do so by the second generation, and I have the right aptitude for teaching students.”
“The only thing I like to teach is run the academy.”
“My body is one. In my heart, I want to teach students, but I also have to run an academy. Even so, I find time to teach third graders in my spare time.”
“I hope to be in third grade soon. That way, you will receive Jiyoung’s education.”
“Well. I don’t know if my teaching will help you.”
