137 – How am I – 4
What did I just hear?
I looked at Yoo Choa, who was still smiling brightly. She usually laughs so well that when I saw her, who seemed like a nerd, I smiled and said.
“What?”
“Ah. Are you going to pretend you didn’t hear? Then I’ll tell you again.”
I take a slight step forward and turn around. Yoo Choa naturally stood in front of me and hugged me.
– Side.
A soft touch to the lips. Holding her tiptoe up, Yuchoa brought her lips to mine and gently rubbed her face against my chest.
“I’m not from a noble family like Elizabeth or Jin Shi-yeon. But that’s why I can be more free.”
“Uh…”
What is the situation now?
Her head is confused and unorganized.
I bet Twilight Shadow on me. I was able to quickly regain my composure, perhaps thanks to my high mental strength and increased resistance to abnormal conditions.
“Eight!”
But she couldn’t get out of the embrace. Yuchoah hugged me even more with her unique smile that made people feel comfortable, and she was confused again, perhaps because of the soft touch she naturally touched.
“Can’t you answer me soon!”
“Uh. Ah. Uh. How about staying away…”
The pleasant scent of milk tickled her nose. Yuchoa, who has a scent that seems to calm the mind and body, hugged my waist tightly and smirked.
“I don’t like it? Since this is a hand-to-hand combat, how come it looks like a possibility?”
Yuchoa, who was looking up at me with her frown and mischievous smile, instead of pulling away from her body, she shrugged her shoulders with even more strength.
“Elisabeth and Jin Si-yeon. Because they are from a noble family, it might be difficult to have a normal relationship, right? But I’m different~. Ah. Of course, let’s live in poverty. It’s not like that.”
“Um…”
“Do you want a lover who is friendly and carefree like a friend? Or an intelligent and cold person? Whoa. Actually, I’ve been hiding it, but my true self is a cold and intelligent beauty!”
I don’t think so.
She made an inappropriately noble expression and rubbed her face against my chest again.
“Or… Do you like someone from a noble family like Elizabeth or Siyeon? Hmm… Then, if you give me a little time, I can do it too. There are many people who support me right away from the association. Also, Atras-sama used to adopt me as his adopted daughter. He also said he wanted to make it.”
Atras Luten.
An S-class wizard who came from a prestigious American family and is also the current head of the Luten family. She is Instructor Kim Yeon-ha’s teacher, and she can perfectly use fifteen magics, so she specializes in large-scale battles, and based on that power, she is a woman who is active in all parts of the world.
She is also the head of a group called the ‘Ivory Tower’ to which many wizards belong.
“I met Atlas-nim during the wave. Huh? But didn’t you know?”
“No. I knew.”
It was Atlas who saved Choa Yoo, who had her awakening after going through her wave.
She showed her interest in Yu Choa, who had her zero aptitude, and taught her how to use her magic ammunition, which she quickly accepted and fell in love with her Yu Choa’s talent, often adopting her as her adopted daughter. There is a main story of her saying “I was told to come in…”.
If she was in the same class as Yu Choa, she would have met Atlas, but maybe she was in a different class, so I couldn’t confirm the main story related to that.
“Ehehehe~. You hear a lot of rumors?”
Although it’s not a rumor, it’s thanks to memories from her past life.
“If you’re worried about the Taylor family and their true value… It’s okay. Atras-sama’s Ruten family, and the Ivory Tower, the group of wizards who follow Atras-sama, are just as strong.”

No. That’s not what I’m worried about…
“…That’s why.”
Yoo Choa gently held my hand and looked at me.
“…Look at me.”
The always bright voice of Yoo Choa trembled. Is she afraid? I looked down at her and tried to open her mouth.
“Ah! Well, I’m not asking you to answer right away! We’re going to the ruins during summer vacation?! I want you to tell me until then!!”
“Uh…”
“Well then, I’ll go first!! Hello~. Have a good night~!”
Did they weave? Why is everyone talking about summer vacation?
Watching Yoo Choa walk away, I held her face.
From nob le mt l. co m
No more than that, why the hell do guys blow her kisses when they confess?
I returned to my dormitory room and lay down on the bed.
I thought about training before going to sleep as usual, but maybe it’s because her head is complicated, so the skill efficiency isn’t as good as I thought.
“Oh.”
When others hear it, they feel full. It was a worry that would come out.
Elizabeth, Jin Siyeon, and Yoo Choa.
To think that beautiful women with their own charms like me.
It is a very complicated story for me, who has never been in a relationship in my current life or in my previous life.
“mmm…”
What should I do?
I’m worried. I’m worried.
– Smart.
It was then. When I heard a knock on the door, I got up and opened the door.
“What are you doing?”
It was Cheonsoo Lake. Why did the guy who lives in the Seonggwan dormitory come all the way here?
“It was just there.”
“Why are you looking like that?”
“Hmm. I have something to think about. But why?”
“Ah. I want to ask you something.”
“Why didn’t you call?”
“I tried but didn’t get it.”
Cheon Soo-ho frowned and pointed at my terminal. I checked and there were five missed calls. All belonged to Cheon Soo-ho.
“Ah. I guess I couldn’t hear it because I was concentrating.”
“Hey, is it okay for a second anyway?”
“Of course.”
Chun Soo-ho entered the room, looked around the room and shook his head.
Well, it’s only natural that a guy who lives in a castle would react like that when he sees Hogwan.
“What. Why. What.”
“No… I thought you might move to a dormitory next semester.”
“Okay.”
I have enough money and my grades are not bad, so I should be able to move to the castle.
But money is ammunition after all. It’s not enough to buy equipment or skill books, so I don’t think there’s a need to enter a castle that costs an extra amount every month.
It’s good enough to live here, too.
“Well. Even if that’s the case. You also applied for the ruins raid, right? I did some research on the Manisan ruins.”
He showed the material he was holding in his hand.
The Manisan Ruins is a kind of tutorial before starting a full-scale attack on the ruins.
“They say that the ruins of Mount Mani keep appearing. They say it’s because of the special powers of Mount Mani.”
“Uh. It’s not a very difficult ruin, but it’s said that heroes and cadets take on the challenge at least once because it happens constantly.”
“But even if it’s easy, there are some active heroes who retreat after being injured. I heard it’s not easy to catch the third owner, Poongsaengsu.”
There are a total of four bosses to defeat in the Manisan Ruins.
The first boss is a cloud dragon, the second boss is an ushi-oni, and the third boss is a wind-bearing tree.
You must defeat these three and catch the fourth and final boss, Black Yacha.
“Poongsaengsu has a special staff called Poongrijang, so if you fight him, he will fall down. They say that when he is knocked down, Poongsaengsu’s concentrated attack is scary. The strategy is…”
“Ah. That’s a status ailment. You can block it with Twilight Shadow.”
“Huh? Yes? But I heard that even if you take medicine to resist status ailments, you won’t be able to withstand them easily.”
“The ‘collapse’ effect using Poongnijang is quite strong. If it is not a fairly good medicine, it will be difficult to withstand.”
And the user’s mental strength must be high.
“So when Poongsaengsu uses Poongnijang, it’s better for me to step in.”
With my mental strength, I should be able to hold on without collapsing. You can cast Twilight Shadow on me if you wish.
“Wow. Elizabeth, Jin Shi-yeon, and Yoo Cho-ah will gladly allow it.”
When the story of the three came out, I kept my mouth shut.
Chun Soo-ho, who stared at me like that, smiled.
“What is it? Why do you suddenly get quiet when you talk about them? Why? Did you get a confession from them?”
Is this child a ghost?
I was startled by Chun Su-ho’s sharp question. As if he didn’t care, he took a sip of the water from the bucket on the table and poured it into a cup.
“Ugh?! What is this?!”
“Salt sugar water.”
“Are you drinking this too…?”
“It’s good for you.”
“Ha. Whatever.”
The guy who grumbled and pushed the cup aside crossed his arms and grinned.
“To be honest, there are many things I get confessed to while living a heroic life.”
“Huh? Is that so?”
“That’s right. Anyway, being a hero belongs to a high social position. And you know the swinging bridge effect, right?”
“Does it mean that you feel a crush on someone in a crisis situation…”
“That’s right. Other than that, there are many similar things. There must be a lot of petty fights?”
As expected, it’s amazing because he’s a person with an owner.
“So? Who do you like?”
“…You say it’s someone else’s business very easily.”
“That’s because it’s someone else’s business.”
Don’t hit people with big facts.
Chun Soo-ho, who was looking at me with a grave face, stood up and said.
“I don’t think they’re going to come after you with a knife just because they’re kicking you, but you’d better use your good judgment anyway.”
“Um…”
“Then I’m going. Ah. If you’re worried about it, why don’t you think about your future when you’re dating them? That would be a better choice?”
“I see…”
Having done his business, he left his data behind.
Yes. Ultimately, it’s up to me to choose.
“Hmm…”
From nob le mt l. co m
No, but I’m really worried.
To be honest, I don’t want anyone kicking me. I don’t want to see them hurt because of me…
“… Huh?”
Wait a minute.
Why only choose one?
I took the terminal and connected to the Internet.
And after checking some information, I was able to confirm that the idea I came up with had a lot of potential.
But before that, there are things that need to be done.
First of all. That I become S-class.
Being a buffer doesn’t mean you can’t raise the grade. No, it may be more possible because it is a buffer.
Raising your level as a hero is winning by fighting villains, going through many dungeons, or breaking through ruins.
In other words, it depends on how hard I try.
That’s fine.
You’ll have to really get tired of trying to see the true ending anyway.
The question is… Will they accept this…
I put the terminal down.
…If you do well, you might be able to put aside the swearing and talk ear to ear.
But it’s better than sitting around doing nothing.
It’s the same as becoming a bad guy no matter who you kick.
If you’re going to be a bad guy, let’s be a good bad guy.
