Episode 119 Interlude.(2)

“ha… You took on a troubling case.”
“I didn’t want you to know it was going to end like this.”
Upon hearing the progress of the incident, Chloe sighed one after another.
“I didn’t want to take on such a cumbersome task, so I retired from the front line and took on the role of the Academy Director.”
“sorry.”
“No, you have nothing to apologize for. After becoming a hero, you will experience similar things over and over again, so you can think of it as a preparatory course. But in this case, I just don’t like that I’m the one to be held responsible.”
“So, what should I do? I’m curious about the president’s thoughts on the plan.”
She was turning the pen round and round without saying a word.
it would be frustrating
It’s because a distant junior, who was nothing more than an intern, showed up with a huge bomb.
I don’t know if official support was possible.
Since it’s a job to help you secretly under the water, there’s only so much to think about.
“I don’t think it’s impossible to kill Jinjo in itself. With Cecilia and Esmeralda’s help, the odds are good enough. There is also Priscilla.”
“After all, is Mercury the problem?”
“It’s all a problem! You idiot!”
Chloe picked up a thick book on the desk and slapped me in the head straight away.
It’s also sincere.
It hurt so much that I could groan without realizing it, but I had no choice but to accept the pain.
Normally, I would have protested, but since this incident is entirely my responsibility.
“sorry.”
“It’s true that Mercury’s side is much more troublesome. However, an all-out war with Steven is not something to be taken lightly. Are you really sure?”
“I have already made up my mind. I will be with Sungjin.”
The first to answer was Priscilla.
Then, she took turns looking at Chloe with determined eyes.
as if asking for permission.
Obviously, seeing this, I feel that I have grown a lot, both physically and mentally, unlike in the past when I was weak.
It was definitely a moving and heartwarming scene, but it may be because it can be interpreted in a strangely ambivalent way, so I couldn’t bear to raise my face in shame.
“It’s the truth.”
Chloe, who was silently looking at the distant mountains, suddenly opened the drawer and took out a small paper carton.
And inside, there were several large cigars that looked like they would get lung cancer just by smoking them.
I thought for a while about how to smoke such a thing, but soon came to the conclusion that it was a useless worry.
It’s probably similar to alcohol.
A cigarette would not even give the body the stimulation of an aphid.
In particular, considering Chloe’s age, I thought that I had no choice but to find a stronger stimulus.
“Why the hell do you have a cigarette like that?”
“I used to smoke often with Oscar. He’s still smoking, but I let go. Still, it was not possible to quit smoking completely, as the saying goes that it is simply to endure cravings. On days when I was under a lot of stress, I started to smoke without realizing it.”
“I’m so sorry for saying that.”
“done. It’s not that there isn’t a guy who has had more accidents than you. Do you guys want to smoke too? You can’t smoke this even with money.”
No matter how much this academy is said to be a place to pursue freedom, the president is the first to suggest cigarettes to the cadets.
But, I think it’s Chloe, so it’s easy to understand.
I’ll give it a try, let’s try smoking it once.
“Then, I will be grateful.”
“Come on, here’s the fire.”
Chloe made a small embers on her fingertips and held them out to me.
However, I couldn’t put a cigarette in my mouth hastily.
Because Priscilla’s stinging eyes were flying next to him.
“Coming to think of it, I don’t think I can smoke because I have a bad heart.”
“If that’s the case, I should have told you sooner. You waste one cigarette.”
It looks like it was really hurting.
What one cigarette he’s been muttering for a long time, Won.
Still, it was better to listen to Chloe’s nagging than to buy Priscilla’s grudge, so this was also something that had to be endured.
In hindsight, it was also my fault that I fell into temptation and put a cigarette in my mouth.
“So, do you have anything in mind for the Chairman?”
“Be quiet. I am thinking about it now.”
She turned the backrest back, and only the smoky smoke was coming out.
And, when the tip of the embers were completely worn out and covered my knuckles, Chloe turned again and began to face us.
“Okay, let me take care of this. It was because of my negligence that I allowed it even though I knew it was a club that was established for that purpose. However, there is one condition. Is that okay?”
“I will follow. Whatever I bet on.”
“From today on, you will be training directly from me.”
“yes? Is the president going to teach you directly?”
“okay.”
I don’t know what kind of thunderbolt this is all of a sudden.
A person who skips meals because it’s annoying to eat is saying that he’ll teach me.
I wonder if he has ever taught this person or anyone in the first place.
“I know it’s rude, but honestly, I can’t imagine the president teaching anyone.”
“By the way, I have never heard of Chloe teaching anyone.”
As such, this was a story that even Priscilla acknowledged.
I’ve never seen a character who was taught by Chloe in the original, except for some old-timers, so maybe it’s different from other people.
I can’t help but doubt
“Hey, you have doubts about my teachings that I can’t even pay for. No wonder Do you know how many of the legendary Elder Heroes you know who have been taught me and say that?”
“No, of course, I admit it. But, you know that’s not what I’m talking about. It’s been a long time since the president has taught someone, so I must have lost a lot of sense, that’s the story. Besides, they were geniuses from birth, and the president just polished them up a bit, but I am a real blunt person.”
It took quite a while to calm Chloe, who had started running rampant on the road.
It’s because he kept showing that he was pissed off despite all kinds of swear words.
I thought it was not for nothing that the saying that people become more like children as they get older is not for nothing.
“This is your last chance. Will you learn from me or not?”
“Am. Of course you have to learn. You are in charge of Spica in the Great Triangle of Heaven, right? This glory will never come again.”
“Okay, see you at the training ground tomorrow.”
“Is that all? Without any instructions on how to train or anything like that?”
“It’s annoying, so hurry up. I will sleep.”
She tilted her back and, at some point, was wearing an eye patch and a blanket.
How can you trust and be taught by such a person?
Of course, I also know that Chloe is an absolute strong man and a being no less than the supreme supreme in this world.
However, apart from that, there is something else about the ability to teach people.
That’s why I react so sensitively.
All the people who tried to teach me were geniuses but crazy.
Just looking at Nihilis and Serena is the same.
The teaching method itself wasn’t bad, but seeing that she declared that she would kill me if I didn’t teach her, Nihilis wasn’t normal, nor was Serena, who assaulted me in the name of love and education, even though it wasn’t even during lectures.
In such a yard, if even Chloe joins in, what terrible things will happen to me, I do not know.
What if it’s worse than those two?
He could die on the spot without even being able to sing.
However, the offer itself was so attractive that I couldn’t turn it down.
Aside from everything else, the combination and balance were so good.

Managlaive Swordsmanship is Nihilis, martial arts skills are Serena, and mana control ability is Chloe.How many people can stand this?
I could guarantee it would never happen.
Instead, you will suffer a lot.

“It must have been a difficult decision, would it really be okay?”
“It is not easy. It was the easiest decision for me.”
Priscilla answered without even a moment’s delay.
like it’s so natural.
If it came out like this, I knew that it shouldn’t be dried out.
Because that was the best way to respect her.
“Actually, so am I.”
I looked confident.
Then, she brushed my bangs back, which had fallen slightly, and said,
“done.”
“what?”
“It looks better now that it looks good. When we first met, you almost covered your eyes, didn’t you?”
What that meant was easy enough for me, even the blunt one.
So, she did what she wanted.
“Yeah, it’s better to laugh.”
“It’s nice to see everyone smiling.”
“I think it varies from person to person. Aina’s blunt expression is more attractive, and Professor Serena is a little scared when she smiles.”
“is it? Well, it may seem that way simply because it is meaningful to be happy. To laugh means to be happy.”
“Well, I think it’s closer to joy than happiness. Of course, it is true that joy is also one of the branches of happiness. But, isn’t that what happiness is all about? The moment I think happiness is complete is when joy and sorrow are shared.”
something philosophical
‘Joy is not the only happiness’.
It seems like that.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Maybe it’s better to share the joy.However, as Priscilla said, it is clear that someone with whom you can share your sorrow feels more like a sincere person.
In that respect, I may still be a very inexperienced person.
Because I have never deviated from the one-dimensional thought of simply making someone happy.
I hardly ever thought of sharing the pain.
“So, I feel happy the moment I am with you. Oh, except when I was smoking a cigarette a while ago.”
Priscilla smiled.
It was clearly a calm and light expression, but the emotions that were buried were coming closer than ever.
And, seeing it, I promised.
I will continue to make you smile like that.
Yes, I will make you happy.
