143 – Fiancé_1
The academy’s winter vacation is not short.
In terms of the number of days, it is about 70 days, or about one-fifth of a year.
In other words, it meant that close to 20% of the events that happen in a year happen during this winter vacation.
“Boss, I have something to tell you.”
It was a day when we were working day and night to unify Korea’s national organizations.
A knock rang at the door of the temporary residence office.
“Come in.”
“Okay, I’ll go in.”
The door opened when permission was granted.
Through the open door, a sturdy man in a black suit, with a rugged face with a few knife marks on his cheeks and eyes, quickly entered and bowed his head almost 90 degrees in front of me.
He was a man who grasped the subject well and appointed him as the 11th temporary right-hand man.
I can’t remember the name… But.
“What is it?”
I ordered him to open his bowed head with a moderate gesture.
Then the man got her up and read the document she was holding in her hand.
“There are two things. The first is that the Hero Association seems to have noticed our movements.”
“The Hero Association?”
It’s been about a month since I did this.
I wonder if it’s time to get caught.
Didn’t someone say that there is no eternal secret or love in the world?
“Yes, it is. It seems that one of the sub-organizations stupidly and excessively digested the amount to fill the prize money and got caught.”
“To fill the prize money?”
“…Ah, no. Because the subsystem bastards are stupid. So I got caught.”
The man corrected her, sweating profusely.
It looked like he was trying hard not to become like the daily temporary right-handers who went ahead.
I’m sorry to see that, but I only have one yellow card.
She won’t be sent off yet, but there’s only one step left before her man’s exit.

“Really? Then what about the rest?”
“Monsters appear that attack the lower organization every night.”
“A monster?”
“Yes, it is. That’s-“
The incident is said to have started 10 days ago.
The appearance of a monster wearing a bread bag attacking subdivisions that were doing business.
At first I thought it was a joke and ignored it.
As time passed, the frequency and range of monsters appeared widened. It is said that several sub-organizations were destroyed and several workplaces were also destroyed.
That’s why I couldn’t stay like this, so I tried to deal with it on my own. Rather, it was that he came to me and posted a report.
In other words, it was said that he was crying like an idiot somewhere and came to help me.
“It is said that the level of skill is estimated to be between the middle class of C class and the lower class of B class. Other than that, the first sighting was near the Laplace Academy, and there was something strange about asking fallen gang members.”
“What is it?”
“That is still under investigation, but once we figured it out, here are some things. One is that he is not a man, that he is not a Korean, but a foreigner of Asian descent.”
That’s what he meant, but he still couldn’t figure out his true identity.
‘…’
It is said that even if there are many crippled members of the gang, no one is dead. To do nothing against such a generous person and run to him and ask him to solve the problem.
If you have a life, isn’t it the law to risk your life in something like suicide bombing?
If that doesn’t work, I’ll report it.
“Anyway, judging from them, in my opinion, issue #1 and #2 may be related. A hero’s trick…”
“Take care of it.”
“That means the Hero Association and the monster…”
“Leave that aside.”
Leaving it in the hands of fools will only make the scars worse.
Even though this is annoying, it was right for me to deal with it.
I was thinking of touching the Hero Association once anyway, and I was also trying to deal with those who were called the Alliance against me. Considering that the time had come quickly, there was no problem.
Of course, seeing that the organization I created to be comfortable with was so stupid, I felt like I had to go into command, including education, once again.
‘All else to do…’
It’s just secretly planting a snare in the enemy.
“Ah, yes, I understand. I will send you there.”
The 11th right-hand man hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head.
It meant sending them to that place, that is, to the island.
I could have simply killed them all, though. It’s not good to waste blood and mana recklessly. It was right to pull out and eat as much as possible and dispose of it.
“Look out.”
“Okay.”
She came out as quickly as the man came in.
Not yet.
There was a lot of work to be done.

Most of the cadets returned home during winter break, but unexpectedly, many acquaintances remained at the academy.
Chun Yoo-seong can’t go back because of an injury, and Olivia has no place to go back.
Aside from that, Akari, Mari, Han Yu-ri, and Yeon Eun-ryeong also remained.
Last summer vacation, my skills worked so well that I had the feeling that I was forced to return to the court. This time, it was adjusted, so it was because I didn’t forcefully remove it.
Anyway, that’s why even though I was working diligently on organizational integration, I had no choice but to run into them from time to time, and it was not inevitable that small incidents would occur due to that encounter.
“…I really enjoyed today.”
The sun was setting over the ridge.
In the center of a common downtown area, male and female couples passed by quickly.
The end of the date.
All we did was watch a movie together, eat at a restaurant, or take a short walk on the street.
If it’s simple, it’s plain, if it’s boring, it’s a boring date.
Still, it was Olivia who gave a small smile as if she was having fun.
I wondered if this was really fun, but she said she would clear her sister’s name as usual. Seeing that even after vacation, he is devoted to training all day long. I thought that breathing like this could be fun.
[It was fun.]
When I said that to Ines, who was in the shadows, I felt a slight flinch.
[What do you think? As an older sister, would I be suitable for a younger sister?]
It was so much fun that I thought it would become a habit these days.
[Isn’t the name execution a little nice?]
So you’re playing pranks to get her reaction. The old man’s phlegmatic voice struck his brain.
[The one to be punished.]
It was a paladin.
She appeared often when Ines made fun of her after knowing her circumstances.
[Your bad karma will never be forgiven even in heaven #$@#$!─]
[I told you not to curse at my brother!!]
Sara couldn’t stand it and blocked Paladin’s mouth.
It was a sight that continued to be seen quite often after the Paladins were brought into the family.
“I enjoyed myself too.”
Anyway, making fun of Ines broke her mood, so she replied to Olivia with an appropriate smile.
Then she stretched out her hand and grabbed Olivia’s hand, which was standing there enduring the cold in Korea.
“Ah.”
She shuddered for a moment at her unexpected action.
And I tried to shake off my hand.
However, perhaps because of the warmth she felt from my hand, she only hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she didn’t let go of my hand.
“Isn’t it warm?”
“Yes, very much.”
“Really? Thank god.”
She began to walk out of the downtown area, holding her hand like lovers passing by.
The white seaweed, the cold wave, and the crowds are getting closer and closer.
All of that seemed to be making Olivia nervous, so she lowered her head.
“Where is the bad?”
“No, that’s not the case…”
Under her bowed head, I could see a thin layer of pale blush.
“Really? If so, I’m glad If you still feel uncomfortable, tell me right away.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“Thank you, of course.”
“No, thank you very much. Because I know you took care of me on purpose today.”
It is true that I paid attention on purpose.
The relationship with Olivia was important for her future work.
But Olivia didn’t know that, so she seemed to think that I had moved to give her a breather after working hard all day in her training.
In that case, we have no choice but to adapt to it.
The more emotions are added, the slower they accumulate, but the total amount always increases.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes.”
“Really? Then let’s go back.”
“Yes.”
End of the day.
Of course, even if I go back to the academy like this, Olivia will be training in the evening, and I will have to wander around in the evening again, so I wonder if there is really an end to it.
Still, the sun was setting.
So, holding her hand, we set out on the road, on the way back to the academy.
There was no big talk between Olivia and I.
However, Olivia’s intentions could be understood without having to say anything about her hands gradually getting warmer and the strength of her grip.
“Follow me!”
“If you miss it, you will die!”
“You bastards, catch them quickly!!!”
It was around that time.
An alleyway that is one of the routes to Laplace Academy, where the sun has set and the darkness has quietly settled down and the streetlights are shining.
A lot of thick voices came from far away.
Me and Olivia then turned her head to look at the place where her voice came from.
Then, from behind, a person wearing a bread bag covered in blood was being chased by a number of men.
If it’s bizarre, it’s bizarre. If it’s strange, it’s a scene that can be considered strange.
However, it was nothing to worry about.
It won’t be long before the person wearing the bread bag or the men chasing them. It was because it passed us by and disappeared from sight before it could react to anything.
“What is that…?”
“Okay.”
I had a rough guess, but it wasn’t something to explain.
After a very brief commotion, Olivia and I were able to safely arrive at her academy.

“A rat-like bastard. I finally got it.”
A dead end street.
Xiao Mei sighed and looked at her men as they gradually approached.
‘Is it the end?’
There was no mana left, let alone stamina to escape.
If she knew this was going to happen, she would have done it slowly and not overdo it.
But now, there was no way to get the spilled water back.
“Where else can you run away? f*ck you.”
The mana-laden kicks of the man in front came flying.
“Big…Billion…”
Even though she defended her, there was no defense against the mana she contained, so the shock penetrated her defenses and was transmitted to her internal organs.
However, Xiao Mei held her spirit and held on.
“Gorge!”
But that was only once or twice, and she couldn’t stand the kicks, tools, and punches of her men.
In the end, Xiao Mei couldn’t even resist her properly, and she had no choice but to fall to the cold ground.
“Look at that handsome face.”
In the blurring vision, one of the men approached and placed her hand on the bread bag Xiao Mei was wearing.
“b*tch?”
“A kid?”
And when Xiao Mei’s face was revealed, her men made a ridiculous expression.
“We almost died because of this bastard’s sh*t?”
“f*ck!!!”
But that absurdity doesn’t relieve their anger. They said that Xiao-Mei was a girl or that she had just become an adult. As if it didn’t matter, I started to let go of my anger.
Her punches and kicks continued to pour in.
It is said that when the pain is severe, her brain releases dopamine and the like to block the pain.
That’s why Xiao-Mei didn’t get sick.
“Then I will die.”
“But… brother, don’t you know what almost happened to us because of this bastard?”
“Still, if you die, you won’t know why this bastard did such a thing. Do it in moderation.”
“…I understand.”
It was just that her ears were deaf and her whole body was cold.
So I saw an illusion.
You could call it a kaleidoscope.
‘Ah… A father…’
She always had a kind smile.
I didn’t come home often because I was busy with work. Yet, whenever she visited, she returned with a gift she liked.
‘Professor Xuen protects the students…’
So, when she heard the news a year ago, how upset and how unfair she felt.
So I tried.
To the extent of dying, no, more than that, I built up my skills and cultivated my will to live.
However, I thought I would end my life without knowing who my enemy was.
‘Sorry…’
I couldn’t do anything, I couldn’t avenge myself.
I’m sorry.
Sorry for being an ugly daughter…
“Sorry…Sorry…”
“Are you okay?”
Below the deaf ears, into the blurry vision, between the countless men who have collapsed on the ground before they know it.
I heard a kind voice.
