#52. Don’t avoid it.
“Make me a disciple!”
The bright eyes of Lee Ji-eun were full of anticipation.
“…Because it’s someone who doesn’t have the skills to teach. I think that’s going to be difficult.”
It was Lee Ji-eun who actually finished Sulwhasoo.
I just moved her next to her as if I was manipulating some game character.
“No, Mr. Inwook. I know. Mr. Inwook is a great person. He is even stronger than the other academy instructors!”
She wasn’t offended by her undeserved praise, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t guide her.
In the beginning, I wasn’t even that leisurely, regardless of my skills or qualifications.
There was still plenty of time left until the final evaluation for the fair activity, but during the upcoming festival period, the student council had to be vigorous.
And I don’t know for sure, but Deforme seemed to be calling me to do something.
The manager couldn’t leave me alone.
“Ji-eun. Let’s think about it a little rationally. Ji-eun is a student at Sehwa Hunter Academy now.”
“So?”
“Realistically, it means that the conditions are not at all. If Ji-eun really wants to learn something from me, it means that neither the time nor the conditions will be adequate.”
With her arms crossed, Lee Ji-eun tilted her head at an angle and she grinned.
“Then, Mr. Inwook. If you have all the realistic conditions I mentioned a while ago, will you teach me?”
She thought she couldn’t be anything.
Even if I conceded her hundred steps and moved her academy here, there was no way my schedule could handle her guidance.
“You have to put it on the basic level. That’s the sound.”
“Okay. Then.”
Lee Ji-eun smiled at me with a confident expression on her face.
“I’m going to leave today! Master!”
…Who is your teacher?
There was no definitive answer, but rather a blatant rejection, but it seemed that they didn’t even listen to what I was saying.
Her gun gun Lee Ji-eun went down the stairs with her light steps.
I took a deep breath after watching her disappear completely downstairs.
“I hope it’s okay.”
If I talked like this, wouldn’t it be easy to step back?
Looking at the setting sun, I went back to the house.

Wednesday.
The day of the regular student council meeting in the morning.
I woke up 30 minutes earlier than usual and washed my face with cold water.
It was the first day I met Sihwa since I saw him at the hospital.
Harin seems to have suffered a lot because of me…
I was not alone in my worries about poetry.
She suddenly remembered her last conversation she had with her.
[I… You can’t give up. No don’t Choi In-wook.]
Due to the nature of the poem, those words were never meant to be spoken in an empty voice.
When I arrived at the academy, I grabbed the doorknob of the student council room in a slightly nervous state.
Whoa… Let’s go inside.
When I opened the door and entered, the seniors who arrived before me greeted me.
“Oh! Inuk-ah! Are you okay?”
“Inwook is here? Let’s see his face. Is he alive? Ezion said he was hit.”
It seemed that all the seniors were worried about me.
“It doesn’t interfere with my daily life at all. It’s okay!”
I answered them as if there was no problem as much as possible.
I wondered why it had been such a long time, but now that I think about it, it is actually an old one.
It was because it was the first time I had come here since the hiatus when first graders were told not to come out for a while.
“Uh! Sihwa! Hello~”
“Hello.”
Sihwa’s voice came from the entrance to the student council room.
Gulp.
There was a particularly loud sound of saliva passing from my throat.
She was thinking about how to greet her, but she didn’t have to.
Because…
“…Choi Inwook.”
This is because as soon as Sihwa saw me, she ran towards me where she was sitting and hugged me tightly.
“…Is it Sihwa?”
I had a rough idea of how she felt as she hugged me tightly, but the gaze of the seniors behind us felt very stinging.
“Hey~ It’s been very hot since morning~”
“No. We fought like that in the final. Did you guys even have a couple fight that day?”
…I don’t know if this story was meant to be funny, but is this true?
Isn’t it? Usually, a couple fight is a husband and a wife, but I had a fight with two wives…
…What the hell are you thinking? I.
Anyway, I had to drop the poem that had been holding me for quite some time.
“Sihwa-ya. I’m fine. Won’t you let me go?”
I patted her on the back twice in an awkward pose.
“Oh, I’m sorry. Did it hurt? I didn’t touch the injured area, did I?”
She didn’t care about other people’s gaze at all, and seemed to care only about my body.
“Uh. It’s okay.”
“Hmmmm!”
From behind, the student council president coughed and looked at us as if he was about to start a meeting.
“Come on. Let’s go out here to show affection. Why don’t we focus on the meeting for now?”
“I’m sorry.”
It wasn’t my fault, but I bowed my head and apologized to him.
Sihwa noticed that I had a little more to say, but she said that she would listen to it later.
Today’s agenda for the student council meeting was the patrol policy for the upcoming festival week and the distribution of rotations.
The festival at Hunter Academy was not much different from other universities.
Only one. Except that the scale is ridiculously large compared to the university festival.
Since outsiders, who are not hunters, rarely have a chance to see the inside of the academy, it was always crowded with people who wanted to come and play outside during festivals.
Of course, there were also young people who came to seduce the hunter men and women belonging to the academy.
If only the rank was above a certain level, the income of the hunter profession was on the good axis.
Of course, if you marry an ordinary person, you have to take into account that it will be difficult for your child to play an active role as Hunter II.
What. Marriage is with the person you love.
At least I thought so.
Almost everything the president delivered was something he knew.
When I was the student council president, the event was conducted with almost the same manual.
The fact that patrols were more intense than usual during the festival was that fighting took place much more frequently.
Because the Hunter Tavern held within the Academy.
It was because these Hunters drank alcohol and ran rampant around the academy.
There was no big difference between ordinary people and hunters when they drank too much and had a fight between tables, but the problem was the scale of the fight.
This is because the moment the hunters turn their eyes and use their magical powers, the store itself is seriously damaged, and there is a possibility that ordinary people who come to play may also be injured.
For this reason, the student council officers had to be much more careful than usual.
If an accident occurred and we were not able to fix it quickly, it was entirely our responsibility.
Still, it’s just like drunk aspiring hunters making a fuss.
It was me who suddenly had such a thought.
“Okay, that’s the end of the explanation. From now on, I’ll try to adjust the schedule by drawing lots!”
The chairman took out his cell phone, put our list, and ran the program.
The names of the seniors were called one by one, and I was on the afternoon of the second day and the evening of the third day.
The first and last days of the festival, which is a total of 4 days, have the most crowds, so I thought I was lucky.
“And the person In-wook joins as a partner is… Let’s see… Sihwa, you.”
… Her student council has more than 10 people, so how can she get along just like her ghost?
“I see.”
Is it because of her mood that the corners of her lips are slightly raised in answer?
The chairman arranged the names of executives by date on a board hanging on the wall and said the last thing he wanted to say.
“It’s a festival, but you can’t enjoy it comfortably. It’s a pity, but as you all know, the academy gives an allowance after the festival. We said that we should go and enjoy MT together properly then. Okay?”
“Of course, the safety of students and outsiders is also important, but you too, do your best to avoid getting hurt as much as possible. Okay? If you get hurt, keep in mind that it’s hard for you too, and this festival operation may be disrupted in the future.”
“Today’s meeting ends here! Disband!”
The meeting was longer than usual because there were more announcements than usual.
I left the student council room and checked the time, but there was not much time left until the first class.
I thought I had to hurry, but I felt someone grab my wrist.
I came out as fast as I could to avoid getting caught…
When I turned my back, Sihwa was still looking at me with my eyes wide open.
“…Don’t avoid it. Choi In-wook.”
“I never did.”
“Don’t even lie.”
…I’m afraid it wasn’t someone who was married.
After all, I can’t stand Sihwa.
“Why are your arms like that?”
She did not wear a cast and was just refraining from using her right hand forcibly, but she noticed that something was wrong with my arm like a ghost.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Now, Sihwa’s eyes are starting to get scary.“Ah… This.”
As in the past, I fell down the stairs and the same excuse was not a valid opponent.
“I was injured while trying to cover my fall. Mr. Sihwa.”
An unexpected voice came from behind us.
…Why are you here?
With a take-out coffee in her hand, Jena smiled and asked me my regards.
“I haven’t seen you in two days, are you feeling okay?”
It was definitely a question I asked, but the answer was given by Sihwa.
“…What?”
Befitting the nickname of the cold-blooded princess, Sihwa’s expression was so cold.
