11 – School life! (2)
At first, I didn’t think much of it.
Originally, I heard that when a newcomer gets a bit of a buzz, it’s natural for people like this kind of paparazzi to stick around.
But worrying about not knowing when and where my secret might be found out was quite nerve-wracking.
This was especially true as the five senses are sensitive.
“Senior, what’s going on these days?”
And that kind of stress was revealed even when the body was strong.
The author asked what had happened to me with his unique power of observation.
At first, I thought about it a little, but then I confessed what had happened.
Someone is spying on me using clairvoyance, and the trash I threw away disappears when I wake up.
Hearing that, the author’s expression became serious.
“… Aren’t you supposed to call the police?”
“There is no damage and there are no clues, so the police will be in trouble?”
Someone spying on me will immediately stop using their abilities if I react in any way.
“Then I think we should move.”
“… Right?”
I liked the rooftop room where I am now because the monthly rent is quite cheap.
On rainy days, I called my college friends who live nearby and ate pancakes, which was so sweet….
“Do you know of a good place?”
The author looked a bit worried and then nodded her head.
“Where I live, where clairvoyance cannot be used….”
The author brought up the story as if he were talking about something embarrassing.
Certainly, if it’s near the author, it’s a bit closer to the school, so it’s an advantage….
“What is the deposit and monthly rent there?”
Apart from that, my pockets aren’t that generous.
“It’s not that expensive.”
No, I think it will be expensive.
My daughter is living alone.
So her parents must have arranged a house that was prepared in such a way that no crime would happen.
I wonder if the monthly rent will be about twice as expensive as where I live now….
I headed to school while talking about this and that with the author.
The author was very good at speaking.
Listening to it, I felt like I was committing a huge mistake by living in a rooftop room.
“Okay. I’ll have to check it out.”
“Yes. Dangerous in today’s world….”
The author nodded her head with a slightly more excited feeling than usual.
“Then you should catch me and move.”
In the end, I decided to move.
“Ah, senior. Do you have some time today?”
“Uh, why?”
“You have to attract newcomers.”
“Ah~ I see. When are you going to do it?”
“Um… It’s empty in the afternoon today, so please join us for lunch.”
“Come~”
That’s how we decided what to do in the afternoon.
***
After lunch, the author and I took out a table from her and sat down with me.
The line to promote the club was well set up to see if the student council worked quite quickly.
“You take turns once per class.”
“Eh~”
I left the table to Tae-il and called her freshmen together with Ji-eun.
“We are the volunteer club With You!”
“Thank you!”
I didn’t do anything great.
Anyway, freshmen who have just entered college are like newborn calves.
He is a lamb who is easily swayed by the atmosphere, looking around startled.
If a person who looks roughly good doesn’t call out in a moderately loud voice, he will come to you on his own.
In the first place, the word service has such power.
Friends who are preparing for employment from their freshman year at university have no choice but to find a volunteer club.
Sometimes I go looking for a student council or a conference in earnest, but it’s probably a moderately attractive place.
Basically, it’s a place where there are few private gatherings and volunteer work on weekends is the main thing.
“Hello!”
The newcomer who glanced at the author went to the table where Taeil was sitting and listened to her explanation.
As expected, the author’s chance had a considerable effect.
“Hey….”
“Oh, yes.”
“Can I hear the explanation of the club?”
A woman who was hesitant somewhere and a woman standing beside her and asking confidently approached.
Are you a freshman?
There are other people at the club table, so I should explain.
“We are the volunteer club ‘With You’. We basically….”
The core of WITH U’s activities is volunteer work.
He is a reliable partner for a college student who can’t write anything in his cover letter because if he’s absent-minded for a moment, he’ll pass by quickly.
Isn’t a person who volunteers more like a hero than a hero?
The best thing is that Professor Jung Woo-hyun, who is called the light of the Department of Business Administration, cares about the club.
He talked about such trivial things.
Laughter bloomed on the lips of the two people who listened to my slightly exaggerated story.
They brought up the story of wanting to join the club, and I told them where the With You table was.
As they left, the author was frowning for some reason.
Are you tired of standing still like this when the weather is quite chilly?
Or pretending otherwise, she might be tired of the stares glancing at her breasts.
“If you are tired, take a break and come back. I will do it myself.”
“… No, it’s not like that.”
“Really?”
He’s a guy with an extraordinary sense of responsibility.
As I was looking at it with a happy expression, the author’s gaze became more distorted.
“Wait a minute….”
“Senior?”
I put the paper down on the table where Taeil was and pulled out a can of coffee from a nearby vending machine and went back.
“Oh, thank you.”
“Come.”
She handed one to Taeil and then passed one to Jieun.
“Isn’t it cold? Drink and do it.”
I received the leaflet from the author and announced her club a little louder than before.
The author sighed as she touched the can of coffee I handed her to her.
“I’m sure there will be a lot of people coming this time too.”
While drinking her canned coffee, the author muttered blankly.
“Everyone has a hero or two in their hearts.”
“Don’t talk bullsh*t.”
“Over talking….”
Anyway, the placenta goes out after trying it a few times.
Sometimes they come to find a friend to eat with.
But wouldn’t that be one of the charms of being in a club?
You live like that while doing what you want to do freely.
“Oh, Jinwu! A long time?”
As I was talking to Jieun, someone I knew started talking to me.
“Yes, it has been three months.”
“Baby…. Why isn’t FIFA coming in these days?”
“I need to prepare for a job. Are you okay?”
“I passed three of the second rounds of the accountant. If you pass two this June, you are an accountant.”
The guy who took a leave of absence for two years came back with good news.
“Then wouldn’t it be better to take a leave of absence this semester as well?”
“No, I thought I could do it while attending two courses.”
Yonghwang, who I became friends with at MT, who is a freshman in college, will soon become an accountant.
We briefly solved the story that had been accumulated since we hadn’t seen each other in a while.
I’ll call people I know later to play soccer, so I told them to come out when they contact me and left.
“You really know a lot of seniors.”
“Isn’t that just normal?”
“You do that at the end of the year.”
“That?”
“It’s a one-time call to people in your contacts.”
“Isn’t everything done?”
The author sighed and started to work hard on her club advertisement.
… Isn’t that enough?
My dad and mom do it every year at the end of the year, so I thought it was natural.
***
Patients with psychic syndrome who were lying at Eunseong Hospital began waking up one by one.
Of course, Eunseong Hospital also noticed that I had some kind of ability.
However, I haven’t received any contact from that side yet.
I thought I would ask for help from another hospital like last time.
As if someone is blocking my calls.
As I thought about it, I decided to visit Buwon Hospital after a long time.
I had to check if the invader really healed.
I still don’t fully trust this guy.
A monster is someone you have to approach with some degree of prejudice.
When I was hit by a car and hospitalized, this guy controlled my body like a sleepwalker.
This means that if I ever fall unconscious, this guy can control my body.
If this guy makes a nuke in my body, I will become a monster.
If you get caught in the monster detector and die at any time, your body will be free of anything strange.
In particular, this guy has a special ability to escape by reorganizing his body around the core.
You shouldn’t relax even for a moment.
“Oh, long time no see.”
“Hello.”
When I headed to Buwon Hospital, a very familiar nurse greeted me with a smile.
I asked if the others were okay.
The nurse smiled and said that everyone was receiving rehabilitation treatment diligently.
“Wait a minute.”
The nurse who told me to wait a moment brought out something and held it out to me.
From noble mtl dot com
It was an A4 piece of paper with something written on it.
“This is a letter I wrote to Jinwoo thanking you so much.”
“Who….”
I stared at the A4 paper.
There were a total of three sheets of A4 paper, each with a different handwriting.
It was a letter written by three different people.
It was also a very clumsy letter with messy line spacing.
Thank you for helping my dad, thank you for saving my mom.
Summarizing the contents, the letter ended like that.
Nevertheless, it was a letter with the power to stir people’s hearts.
I burst into tears for a moment.
We did not save each and every individual.
I saved a family with that person.
It was a moment when I felt that way.
As I was looking at the letter and stroking my eyes, the nurses began to look at me with a pleased expression.
I felt ashamed of something, so I wanted to say thank you and go back.
“Ah, Mr. Jinwoo. There is someone I really want to see, but he should stop by for a while.”
“I… Big hum. Me?”
“Yes. It will take a while.”
I’ve come this far anyway, so I’ll have to go.
With that in mind, I headed to the place the nurse told me about.
I knocked on the door and went inside, and there was a very familiar person.
This is the lady in the private room on the 10th floor.
And in front of the lady was a woman in a wheelchair.
Covering her lap with a blanket, she was a woman who had been asleep for the past year.
I think her name was Yuna.
“Hello. My name is Yuna Seo.”
“Hello. This is Jinwoo Lee.”
“There must be stories about the two of you, so let’s talk about it. Yuna, mom will go.”
“Yes. Thank you.”
Her aunt left her room and a woman named Yuna looked at me.
She seemed a little wary somewhere, but she seemed to have found something she had been looking for all along.
“I want to repay you.”
She said that out of the blue.
“In return?”
“The doctors said it was a miracle that I woke up. It’s a disease with no cure. You saved me from such a disease, but I have to repay you.”
It was a powerful statement that seemed natural.
I shook my head slightly at those words.
It wasn’t even what I was hoping for in the first place.
“Don’t you want to be a hero? You need to prepare a hero suit, and you will need a lot of money to set up a private office….”
How do you know I’m an aspiring hero?
“There is also a hero ability test at the end of March. I can help.”
She seems to be the type of person who, when she receives something, must give it back to relieve her temper.
I understood to some extent that I am also the type of person who feels uncomfortable when receiving something from someone and must give it back.
But that and this were different.
“No, I don’t need it.”
“Why?”
“It’s not because I was hoping for something. If a hero saves people and takes bribes, he’s in the news.”
“You’re not a hero yet, are you?”
“I am already a hero at heart.”
I spat out such bullsh*t, said that I was glad that I was better, and left the room.
“Wait a minute!”
I heard something stopping me, but I ignored it lightly.
Money obscures one’s judgment.
So this is correct.
To become a hero, you must pass a test.
Scores are given to superpowers, physical abilities, disaster response abilities, personality, etc., And you must obtain a certain score or more to get a hero temporary license.
And you can debut as a hero after a certain period of probation under the active hero.
In this process, I have to prepare an office and a hero suit, so as she said, it costs a lot of money.
It might be a bit difficult with the money in my pocket right now.
Still, I couldn’t get her help.
Because wanting a price isn’t the hero I want to be.
