I was at a loss for words for a moment at that daring remark.
However, he quickly regained his senses and asked again at the gaze of Han Soo-young, who was staring at him.
“Hey, did you hear me right?”
“yes. I got it.”
“No, then… … .”
“I worried a lot too. over the past few days.”
Han Soo-young said so and shook her head and looked at me.
“I’ve been thinking and thinking about it enough. And I’ve come to a conclusion. I will do my own thing.”
“You really listened to me… … .”
“There.”
Han Soo-young paused for a moment, then took a breath and said.
“Your that… … I don’t know what ‘personal circumstances’ are, but maybe I can be your strength. is not it?”
“It can’t be.”
There was a time when I thought that maybe it was Han Soo-young, who specializes in space-based magic.
However, simply dealing with space-based magic and dealing with a completely different dimension were literally different things.
And it is only the Seven Evil species in this world that can do that.
And there was only Ariman who was the final boss in the Seven Devils.
And after killing Ahriman, he escapes from this world and returns to his original world.
There was no way Han Soo-young would be of any help in that process.
Even more so if she is in this state.
But she had a sad expression on her face, as if she was somehow dissatisfied with my answer.
“… how do you know that I’m not sure if I’ll be of your help.”
“Why are you suddenly like that again? … No, more than that.”
I sighed a little.
Han Soo-young was still looking at this side with a stern look.
“Hey, by the way, you have Choi Hyun-woo by your side and there are other kids, so why me?”
“What?”
“No, it’s true, isn’t it?”
It was a little sad to say these things out of my mouth, but in the current situation, it was more important to change Han Soo-young’s heart than that.
“There’s something I’m good at, you’re like me… … .”
“hey.”
“uh?”
“you. Be careful.”
Han Soo-young said to me with a hint of being genuinely offended.
“If you say it like that, what will happen to me who just confessed to you?”
“Uh, huh?”
“Then what? So you’re saying you’re an idiot who even confessed to a guy who likes no-nonsense, me now?”
“No, I don’t mean that… … .”
Han Soo-young crossed her arms and looked at me as if to make an excuse.
Then he let out a small sigh and continued speaking in a quiet voice.
“Yeah, I know your personality that pretends not to know you and secretly pulls it back. So, I’ll tell you what you’re saying, so listen carefully.”
She said looking straight at this side.
His eyes seemed unwilling to allow him to look away.
“Shall we compare as you said? I know, Hyeonu is more handsome than you.”
Han Soo-young looked at me intently while saying that.
“I’m taller than you, have wider shoulders than you, take care of me better than you, and have a better voice than you. I’ve known you longer than you, so you’ll know me better.”
“… … .”
“But the person I came to this way was Yoo Ji-hyeok, not Choi Hyun-woo.”
Saying so, she added quietly.
“… Yeah, maybe it was. The reason I’ve never been interested in other boys or ignored my confession up to this point must have been because Hyeonu was right next to me. Because I don’t know how to compare.”
She nodded and looked at me.
And she mumbled as if she didn’t know.
“But why? As you said, you don’t have a particularly good side, Ann. do you know that I’m in a state where I can’t help it because I want to help you somehow.”
“… Because I can’t give you the answer you want.”
As he mumbled as if making an excuse, Han Soo-young burst out a small laugh.
“I know too well that you have something important to do. I can’t tell anyone else… … So, it must have been that he was always so wounded. To be honest, I never thought I would get an answer from you right now.”
After saying those words, Han Soo-young got up from her seat.
“Promise me just a few things instead of you. Then I’ll be as usual in front of other kids without being ahead of myself like you want me to or anything like that.”
Han Soo-young, who said that, came right in front of me and looked like she was locking me up so I couldn’t escape.
“It’s good to move on your personal circumstances. But, be sure to tell Nana and Hyeonu from now on. We’re both ready to help if you want.”
“… that.”
“If you’re going to get hurt at the very least, it means you’ll get hurt right in front of me.”
That way, I will pick up the injured you or whatever I do.
Seeing Han Soo-young muttering like that, I couldn’t say anything.
Was he originally like this?
“And second. Don’t give this to other kids.”
“like this?”
“like this.”
Han Soo-young said so and gently raised one side of her hair to me.
Then the hidden earring that I had given her appeared.
As I stared at it, she quickly covered her ear with her hair.
“… If you’re going to give it to other people, at least give it to me after giving it the right answer.”
“… okay.”
After blushing for a moment, she coughed and looked at me.
As if this was the main point.
“Then this is the last time.”
“There are many.”
“You, call me and Hyeonu by their first names from now on.”
It felt like something was poking out at her words.
As I flinched and trembled, she nodded as if understanding.
“Did you always call us with your last name? Hyun-Woo Choi, Su-Young Han. like this. Hyeonu, Sooyoung, I’ve never been called this before. Is that your own line? Do you say you don’t want to be close with your last name and first name?”
“I didn’t mean it that way.”
“Then it won’t matter.”
call me hurry.
Saying so, she tightened her eyes and looked over here.
“try. I won’t go until I do.”
“Swimming.”
“uh?”
As I called her name with a sigh of resignation, I could see her bewildered for a moment.
“I’ll be more careful in the future, so please stop, Sooyoung.”
“Uh, uh… … .”
Han Soo-young nodded blankly.
Were you overdoing it too?
With that in mind, I put on my crutches and got up from my seat.
“Then I will go. Don’t worry, I’ll be more careful in the future as you say. which… … The answer is… … .”
“hey.”
“uh?”
In an instant, I realized that Han Soo-young had grabbed me by the neck.
And then, her face came closer to me… … .
Immediately, a dull pain spread like a slap in the face.
“100 million!”
“Ouch!”
I sat down on the bench again in an unexpected pain.
I reflexively covered the corners of my mouth with my hand, but when I checked it, there was blood on my palm.
It was only then that I realized that my lips had burst.
“hurt… … .”
When I glanced up, I saw that Han Soo-young was also in pain, covering her mouth with both hands with a frown on her face.
She was trembling with small tears in her eyes, but when our eyes met, she was taken aback and startled, then withdrew a little.
“Are you okay?”
When I asked, pressing my lips with my hand, Han Soo-young shook her head.
Her face turned red as if she was about to explode, and she ran away as if she was running away.
“… What is it?”
He mumbled blankly while pressing the corners of his mouth that were still bleeding from the impact he had hit so hard.
Was she just trying to kiss her?
Embarrassed for being absurd, I just looked at the place where she disappeared as if running away.

After a few days, I was able to get permission to participate in the Academy’s classes normally.
It had been almost two weeks since I left the academy.
Although he was still on crutches, he was able to attend except for a few classes.

Originally, it was normal for me to not be able to follow the class at all, but in the first place, it didn’t really matter to me because I wasn’t the one who took the class normally from the beginning.
All I had to do was copy and write it down in moderation using the status window.
So I never dreamed that something like this would happen.
“Ugh, Jihyuk-kun. I’m not asking you because I have bad intentions, so I hope you don’t misunderstand this.”
The elderly man sitting opposite me was an old professor who oversaw all the writing classes at the academy.
And he was also the professor in charge of Class C.
Showing a friendly smile, he asked me for an interview after class, and as soon as I sat down, he carefully laid out the test papers I had seen in various subjects.
“Are you sure you are making a few mistakes on purpose?”
“Yes?”
He asked carefully, and spread out a few test papers on the desk.
“Look here… … There is something wrong with you or you have submitted a blank question, but there is nothing strange about this in itself.”
Having said that, he handed me another sheet of test paper.
“But in this exam, I submitted perfect answers. By the way, this problem was a trap problem that the first-year students could not solve.”
He smiled slightly.
“Only six people got it right, and one of them was you.”
“… I studied.”
“Oh, was this test taken before the previous two?”
“… … .”
I closed my mouth.
As I said earlier, it was because I never expected that such a problem would arise.
No, rather, does this person remember all the exams that thousands of students took?
Thinking about that, he smiled a little.
“I didn’t call you to get angry or question you. just… … Well. The old man was calling to talk a few words.”
As he did so, he began to ask questions.
For example, is life at the academy worth it?
I heard you were sick, but are you okay now?
There were small talk about whether it would be possible to follow the class without any problem.
“Then, how many mistakes do you think will continue to happen in the future?”
When he didn’t answer his question, he nodded as if he knew.
“okay… … You must be there for some reason. Then it would be uncomfortable to ask more, so I’ll stop.”
“thank you.”
“Well, I’m sorry for calling you to bother you.”
He added quietly with a smile.
“But I still want to see the exam papers you worked hard on.”
“… We will try.”
“Well.”
It was time to get up after bowing to the old professor who nodded that he was satisfied.
A familiar voice came from outside along with a knock.
“Professor, this is Lee Yu-na. I came here for the survey question you asked for, is it okay if I go in?”
“Come in.”
Lee Yu-na, holding a stack of papers in one hand, cautiously opened the door and entered.
And when she saw this, her eyes narrowed slightly, and I have no idea why she’s been reacting like this to me lately.
“Good job, Yuna-san.”
“no. It’s definitely something I should do.”
Lee Yu-na, who answered with a friendly attitude, placed the papers she had brought on the table.
Come to think of it, she was the only playable character in the first year in Class C.
Choi Hyun-woo, Han Su-young, and Jin Ye-seul are in Class A.
Were Ivan Hunt and Ahn Do-hoon in Class B?
Because of that, the reason why I was separated from myself was that compared to the other kids, there were a lot of episodes that were conducted by myself.
“Oh, Yuna-san. I’m sorry Kim just came, but can I ask you a favor?”
After saying that, the old professor pointed to me with a gesture.
“Hey, Jihyuk-kun still looks unwell, can we ask for support only to the place we go together?”
“… Yes, what.”
“Then please.”
And the two of us got out of Professor Noh’s private room.
Lee Yu-na sighed lightly and looked at this side.
“Do you really need help?”
“No, I can go alone.”
“Then, just in case you don’t know, I’ll go outside with you.”
Although she complained that it was uncomfortable to be with her, she seemed to finally see off at the professor’s request.
It seemed as if she was saying, ‘I’m uncomfortable, so don’t talk to me for nothing.’
Why the hell is he doing this to me these days?
I wouldn’t have had anything to do with him… … .
With that in mind, I carefully followed her.
* * *
Lee Yu-na was very uncomfortable with Yoo Ji-hyuk.
Read At noblemtl.com
Of course, it wasn’t like that from the beginning.
Read At noblemtl.com
On the contrary, she had a good view of Yoo Ji-hyuk, and in fact, as a friend, she felt a certain amount of affection.
I’ve seen him several times in an accident in a simulated dungeon and Professor Abel Grossman’s class, where he can tell that he’s a pretty decent guy.
However, it was only a few days ago that his evaluation, which had been quite favorable, was overturned.
Relationships with women are very complicated.
And Yoo Ji-hyuk was obviously enjoying it.
That was Yuuna’s conclusion.
It was not uncommon to see him hanging out with Han Soo-young in the same class, and he was also seen getting entangled with her friend Jin Ye-seul several times.
And that Yeeun Lee, who was a year older, loved him quite a bit, and it was a story that everyone who knew him knew.
In addition to that, the blonde girl who walked arm in arm with him at the guild invitation ceremony.
For some reason, every time I looked, the number of women was increasing.
The climax of the incident was when Yoo Ji-hyeok and Jin Ye-seul visited.
I couldn’t forget the exhilarating sound of Jin Ye-seul’s breathing from the door.
He could tell without looking in the mirror that his face was hot, perhaps because of his pure white skin.
Maybe the two of them were dating, or even if that was the case at the hospital… … .
Even with that thought, Lee Yu-na still prayed for the best as it was a friend’s love affair.
and a few days ago.
Even if it wasn’t her intention, she had seen it.
‘Yesul, Han Soo-young, and Lee Ye-eun seniors. In addition to that, a blonde girl who doesn’t know her name… … How many people are there?’
Maybe there’s more that she just doesn’t know.
Thinking like that, Yuuna pursed her lips.
Whether it is a woman or a man, the people who are promiscuous with the opposite s*x and manage the fishery were the people she hated and hated the most.
And Yoo Ji-hyuk was that kind of person.
Even though she thought that she was a fool who had always liked him for nothing, Lee Yu-na took a step while checking to see if he was following him.
“ah.”
That was then.
I clenched my teeth when my phone rang out of nowhere.
Because there was only one kind of phone call at this time.
However, Yoo Ji-hyeok, who was indifferent from behind, opened his mouth.
“Are you calling?”
“I know.”
When I replied bluntly, he nodded as if he knew.
The phone kept ringing.
It was a phone call that always came around this time and urged them to pay off their debts.
