44 – Awareness (1)
Around the time Lee Seo-jin had a conversation with Han Yu-seong and Han Su-jeong was waiting.
The sisters were spending time sitting in a cafe.
With their favorite drinks in each hand, they were talking openly as usual.
“But sister. Why is my ability dark and hers light?”
“Huh?”
“I was just… curious. Is it because of the color of my hair?”
“Hmm~ Well, I’m not sure. But why? Are you worried that something bad is going on?”
Superhuman has two abilities.
One is ‘Mutu’, which stands out based on its body.
The other was ‘magic’ that stood out based on mana.
Magic has properties, and each property is different.
Only the user could know what abilities to use and how to use them.
However, magic had a slight side effect.
The fact that personality is affected by attributes.
For example, the fire attribute was hot-tempered, and the ice attribute was cold-hearted.
However, in most cases, there is no effect, and very few people have experienced side effects like this.
“No. You said that most of those things don’t matter. I was just asking out of curiosity.”
“Um…well. I don’t know. I think it’s good.”
“Good?”
When Yoo Seo-eun tilted her head, Yoo Soo-ah smiled and nodded her head.
“Light and darkness are opposites, but in a way they say they’re the same, right? We’re sisters and we’ve always been together, so I wonder if it’s like this.”
“…Really? Then it would have been okay if the darkness came out of you.”
“Hmm~ I don’t think it really matters. Whether I’m light or dark.”
“…”
I see.
Yoo Seo-eun couldn’t say her last words and chewed it into her mouth.
She looked at Yoo Soo-ah in silence.
She is an older sister who protects herself from the start and has always endured.
She did not give in to any hardships and adversity, was always strong, and always shone as she protected herself.
How shadows cast when there is light. She’s
She’s wrapped inside She’s always been dark.
This is correct.
It was decided from the beginning.
I was protected and hidden in the light, so darkness is right…
A small, dark thought blossomed in Yoo Seo-eun’s mind.
“Ah. My older brother is here… Huh?”
At Yoo Soo-ah’s words, Yu Seo-eun turned her head.
When she saw the two of them entering the cafe together, she seemed to forget the thoughts she had just conveyed.
But she didn’t this time.
Her obsession and desire she had, jealousy and envy that shouldn’t have interlocked.
When I saw the two people in a subtle atmosphere, things started to get complicated little by little.
※
Until we came to the cafe, Sujeong Han and I walked without looking at each other or talking.
I couldn’t think of anything to say.
I don’t even know how to look at it.
She was a senior and junior who had known each other well for several years, and it was so strange that she suddenly became awkward…
She heard that, how can we see each other’s faces like before.
In the end, the atmosphere was relaxed when I entered the cafe and saw her sister.
“Oops. Big brother~? What happened?”
“Huh?”
A voice that is soft on the outside but sharp on the inside.
Eyes that look empty but seem to contain deep longing.
When she realized that she had become a ‘dark Yushua’, she hurriedly responded.
“Ah…well. It’s nothing special. The company wanted to see me because of what happened at the department store the other day.”
“Hmm~ Really~? But I think the two of you had something.”
Then I waved my hand in embarrassment without even realizing it.
I was perplexed as to whether Hansoojeo was having the same thoughts as me.
“No. No! What can happen!”
“Nothing! Nothing happened!”
“Hmm…”
She watched Yoo Soo-ah with suspicious eyes, and then she let out a sigh as if she couldn’t help it.
“Well. All right. If nothing happened between the two of you…”
“Yes! Really! Ah. That’s right. Come to think of it, how did your prosecutors go?”
She hurriedly asked her sister, and Yoo Soo-ah, who softened a little, answered.
“It’s nothing special. They say there are no side effects or illnesses.”
“Really? It’s fortunate. Magic-types can have more side effects than mutu-types. Since they’re both magic-types… Ah. Don’t you know about this?”
“I know because I heard it to some extent. My sister told me about it, and after the test, there was a simple education on a basic level.”
“I see. But…”
There was one person who was strangely concerned.
If it was the same as usual, we would have said it together, but it was because Yoo Seo-eun was just standing still and watching.
I wonder what kind of deep thoughts he was thinking, with an expressionless expression showing no emotion.
She asked, wondering if something had happened.
“Seo Eun-ah. What’s wrong?”
“…Huh? Why?”
“No. I’ve been in a daze since earlier. Maybe it’s because of your attributes? Because it’s darkness? If that’s the case…”
It’s okay. There are actually many properties.
I tried to comfort you by saying that even if there was such a thing, it wouldn’t be a problem.
Yoo Seo-eun hurriedly answered before she could even speak.
“No. No! I was just blanked out. I didn’t think much of it.”
“Really? Then I’m glad…”
He breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to his former energy.
But did these words actually have the opposite effect?
Scared to speak, Yoo Seo-eun jumped on the bandwagon and looked at me with a meaningful look.
“By the way~ Didn’t anything really happen between the two of you? It seems to me… There seems to be something going on.”
“Huh? Nothing… Did you?”
“Hmm. Isn’t it? You seem to have a strange sense of distance from earlier?”
“Ugh. That’s right…”
Um. I should have just stayed quiet… ?
Slight regret…
“Is that so, Seo Eun-ah? Am I the only one who felt that way?”
“Soo. Suah?”
At the words of Yoo Seo-eun, Yoo Soo-ah jumped on the bandwagon again and started a barrage of questions.
It was only after a long time, sweating from the two people’s questions, that the situation was finally over.
※
After the examination, she returned home smoothly.
Before I left, Han Soo-jung was still shy and couldn’t see my face.
Of course, because she has sisters, she tried hard not to show off, but she was as awkward as she could be.
By the way, it was time to think of something else.
‘Academy… ‘
On the way back, I and her sister had a conversation.
The subject is about the future.
Because I officially became a superman, I couldn’t go to a normal school.
Now, I said that I wanted to enter the academy where I would apply to be an instructor.
Of course, looking at the current society, being a superhuman is a good situation, but… Even so, I couldn’t really see it as a good thing.
‘I heard that the academy education is very difficult.’
Not all academies are like that, but fighting villains is not easy for a hero to learn.
If you do something wrong, you will lose your life right away, so you have to teach it strictly.
Just… There have been cases of serious injury or loss of life in the process.
If you look for it, there are quite a few in newspapers and articles.
‘It’s a problem even if you go in… ‘
Yoo Soo-ah will be 17 next year, an appropriate age, but Yoo Seo-eun is still 15 years old.
Even if you enter an academy, it is a secondary academy.
The place I applied for was a high school academy, so there was a difference.
Of course, in terms of difficulty, I hope to go there because the secondary academy is dozens of times lighter and safer…
When we talked, he didn’t seem to want that at all.
‘There was a problem even before that.’
The sisters’ maximum potential rank is… It was a big problem that the decision was made with C.
The place I apply for is a skill-based academy where only A ranks can be entered.
I wonder if there are rumors that even EXs pass through there.
There is a high chance that they will fall, but when I recalled the sisters’ abilities in my previous life, I didn’t think they would fall at all.
Above all, it was doubtful that even if I passed, I would go in and have a good relationship with other students.
Since I was a child, I have lived in trashy places with trashy parents…
No. Is this something I will think about once I get a job?
“Whew…”
A sigh comes out of nowhere.
How come there is nothing good about being a superman?
Besides, it was cramped because I didn’t know what was going to happen in the future.
“…Brother?”
“Huh?”
Did I hear a sigh?
Yoo Soo-ah was looking at me in a small gap in the doorway and was worried.
“Uh… Sua? How long have you been there?”
“A while ago. My older brother said he had something to think about, so I didn’t intend to go in, but… I want to ask you something.”
“Please?”
“Yes. I heard a sigh as soon as I slightly opened the door. What happened?”
I hurriedly shook her head with a smile at Yoo Soo-ah’s concern.
She opened her chest as if nothing had happened.
“It can’t be. I just thought about what it would be like if you all entered the academy, and I was worried.”
“Ah. Don’t worry about that. I’ve just become superhuman, but somehow I feel like I’m already getting used to my strength.”
Yusua spread her palms and slightly bent her arms and stretched them out in front of her.
Then, a bunch of light was created on her palm, and she moved freely and expressed this and that.
Become a bird and circle around her body.
Become a cat and act cute.
It turned into a fish and showed strong movements.
And when I saw her, I looked at her in amazement.
“Sua. You…”
“Huh? Why are you like that, brother?”
“…No. Are you able to handle it so freely already?”
“Yes. How to say… I just tried it and it worked.”
It is a great talent.
The maximum potential was C, but it seemed clear that the sisters’ potential was higher than that.
Otherwise, how could he manage his abilities so well?
It took me a year to learn the proper abilities even though I’m a C rank.
… However, I was worried that this might not be developing my abilities too quickly.
“What else can I ask of you?”
“Oh… that’s it. We talked about the academy earlier, didn’t we?”
“Yes.”
“They said you have to have some level of skill to get in there.”
“Right.”
“So my older brother said he was looking for a competent teacher or an academy… Couldn’t he teach me?”
“Eh…?”
I was a little dazed at the completely unexpected request.
I… You teach?
The hero and the demon king… ?
Though now those terrifying kids are now family and together…
The problem is that I have never taught anyone.
“Hmm… First of all, I’m a magician myself. But I’ve never taught anyone before.”
“I don’t want anything difficult! Just the basics… I was wondering if you could teach me that much. Of course, if you don’t want to, you’ll have to learn from a teacher arranged by my older brother…”
“Um…”
When I thought about it, it didn’t seem that difficult.
First of all, since my ability is ‘mana manipulation’, there is nothing to teach me since I belong to the magic class.
Besides, since I’ve teamed up with a hero in my previous life, and since I’ve fought many times together, I know how to fight.
I decided to accept it because it was a look I desperately wanted and there was no possibility.
“Yes. All right.”
“Really?”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Yes. Like you said, it’s not like I can’t teach you the basics. Of course, I’ll have to learn the advanced parts from a different teacher.”
“That’s great! Thank you, brother.”
Yusua was delighted and she jumped up to me and hugged me tightly.
But unlike before, I felt a bit ashamed.
Is it because I grew up… The middle side was being felt now.
It’s definitely a bit heavy.
“Uh. Yes. That. Yes…”
As I stroked her back shyly, Yoo Soo-ah, who fell away, smiled and looked at me.
“Then older brother… Are you starting today?”
“Is that so?”
“Huh. Good! I’m sure Seo Eun will like it too. I’ll go and tell her.”
“Okay. Instead, don’t say it’s hard.”
Then Yoo Soo-ah laughed and left her room.
“Don’t worry, that doesn’t happen!”
With a bright smile, Yoo Soo-ah closed the door and left.
By the way… Thinking about it, it dawned on her that she had forgotten one thing.
In my previous life, I was on the same side as the hero, so I can tell you a little about it, but I was an enemy of the demon king.
We fought like we were going to kill each other and we didn’t even try to match the sum…
… Can I really teach Yoo Seo-eun well?
“Hmm…”
It will work somehow.
… Hmm. It will.
