31 – That was it (12)
Yoo Hee-won was frightened by her father’s heavy voice.
No matter how much I thought about it, I started to regret that I said something useless.
Yoo Hee-won’s father is a cold-blooded man, and his family is no exception.
And he has no doubt that his only daughter will become an S-class like himself.
Yoo Hee-won is always worried that she will betray her father’s expectations.
Although I have never expressed it outwardly.
Yoo Hee-won swallowed and waited for her father to open his mouth.
Soon, Yoo Hee-won’s father said.
[Turn off unnecessary attention and focus on your studies.]
“Yes…”
When the phone hung up, Yoo Hee-won let out a big breath.
Conversations with my dad are always tense and difficult…
But it’s useless attention…
After all, Dad… He’s always the same.
I wonder if it will change a little only if I become S-class.
Yoo Hee-won, who was standing there somewhat depressed, soon walked down the hallway with a straight face.

I had a dream.
While flying wearing a hero suit, I came across a strangely colored cloud.
I turned my body sharply to avoid it, and something incredibly powerful pushed me down.
Losing my balance from the shock, I began to fall rapidly to the ground.
Just before colliding with the ground after repeating the ground and sky turning upside down several times.
I managed to alleviate the impact by creating dozens of weak shields in succession and smashing them.
However, after falling from a height of hundreds of meters, it felt as if all parts of her body would be broken.
I, who had been lying on my stomach while moaning, immediately came to my senses and jumped up.
“Ugh…”
I stumbled and barely got to my feet and looked up at the sky.
The strange cloud from before grew bigger and bigger, and the thing I was looking for was nowhere to be found.
I wrapped an aura all over my body and tried to shoot it out again, but my body wouldn’t allow it.
I was about to fly, but I sat down as if I was about to collapse and looked up at the clouds in a state of numbness.
“no…”
A long tailed meteor could be seen slowly crashing through the clouds.
“no…!”
The meteor crashed slowly but steadily, falling among the rugged mountains.
“no!!”
I scratched the ground, dragging my motionless leg, trying to get there.
But even at first glance, they are tens of kilometers away.
Even if I ran, I couldn’t crawl long distances.
“Ughhh…”
Grabbing dry weeds and pebbles, I sobbed like a beast.
“aaa!!”
When I woke up screaming, the clock was pointing to four in the morning.
As the mental barrier that had been disturbed in my sleep was quickly restored, I regained my sanity.
It was a dream.
The dream you always had.
However, this time it has been slightly added.
I tried to think about what it meant, but the memory of the dream flowed down like water in my hand and disappeared.
In the end, the only thing left is a strangely colored cloud and a falling meteor.
I think I felt various emotions while watching that meteor…
I don’t remember anything already.
Anyway, every time I dream, I wake up at an obscure dawn, so it’s really difficult.
I’d rather not know right after I fall asleep or right before I wake up, four o’clock in the morning.
I rubbed my forehead and immediately got out of bed.
I wanted to take a shower because I was breaking out in a cold sweat while dreaming.
As I was bathed in hot water, I thought about that dream instead of organizing my daily routine.
what a dream
What kind of dream is it that I dream it over and over again?
perhaps…
I have come to some absurd speculation.
Normally I would have wiped it clean or shoved it into a corner…
It’s a little different now.

Maybe really…

A group of maps of golden vipers and grizzly molds.
It was the day when I decided to take care of it because there was an important task of information acquisition and operation.
The assignment Yu Hee-won brought was close to perfect, so there was nothing to do but report.
When I read it roughly, it seems that Yoo Hee-won knows better than I do.
Where and what kind of private education did a freshman receive such a level of assignment?
Read from noble mtl dot com
Maybe Yoo Hee-won’s father is finding something like a genealogy through one way or another.
He is the person who calls the dean directly about his advisor.
Han Min-ha had a lot to teach.
As he continued to make corrections with a pencil, Han Min-ha’s face became more and more red in proportion to it.
“It would be better to repeat this part as I did. What Minha wrote is not a different opinion, but a completely incorrect answer.”
“All right.”
Han Min-ha diligently wrote down my words in a notebook, but why was her hand shaking so badly?
“Does your arm hurt?”
“Ah… It’s okay. I’ve been training hard lately…”
Yoo Hee-won, who was on her cell phone, sneered at those words.
I also know that Yoo Hee-won has been dragging Han Min-ha along for physical training lately.
Rumors have already spread, and no one in the academy doesn’t know about it.
Yoo Hee-won always receives attention everywhere and her every move becomes a hot topic.
How many words can go around when such a child takes care of a girl who is in last place.
However, no one knew Yoo Hee-won’s exact intentions, so most of the words around were speculation.
Han Min-ha cunningly clung to Yu Hee-won to survive at the academy, or vulgar things about Yu Hee-won’s sexual orientation.
It is natural that rumors in the first place gradually become irritating as time goes by, but it was not very good that the guidance students suffered such slander.
However, Yoo Hee-won did not seem to care about it at all.
An individualist who would never turn a blind eye to those around him, as long as he could understand what he was doing.
On the other hand, Han Min-ha… well.
I don’t know how I’m going to take those rumors.
I only see timid and hesitant in all situations, so I can’t know more about what’s inside.
Anyway, since the last interview, I haven’t received any kind of reply.
I thought I would be able to conciliate and persuade him by giving him a rough idea of his parents’ past activities.
Do I still need more time?
If Han Min-ha continues to be unable to use Aura like this, no one can guarantee when that will be.
The difference in skill between Yoo Hee-won and Han Min-ha is literally heavenly.
You can’t teach both at the same time, and Yu Hee-won can’t go down to the level of Han Min-ha.
At least Han Min-ha had to come up to the point where he could follow Yu Hee-won even a little bit.
But when will that be…
“Okay. Let’s finish here for today. It’s too late, everyone should go back and rest.”
“Professor. Please buy me some food.”
Yoo Hee-won put her phone in her pocket and boldly demanded.
“I know you came to dinner.”
“I left it because it was tasteless.”
“But if we go out now, it’s too late. So let’s eat next time.”
“How about tomorrow? Something other than a fire lance.”
“Tomorrow I’m on vacation, so I’m not at the academy.”
Then, Yoo Hee-won closed her mouth.
“Oh, do you go on vacation during the semester?”
“There is no lecture tomorrow.”
“Where are you going? With whom?”
“I go alone, and I don’t need you to know where I’m going.”
Then Yoo Hee-won narrowed her eyes and stared at me.
I met that gaze with a light smile.
“I also want to go back and rest. Good job everyone.”
When he got up from his seat, Han Min-ha jumped up to grab his writing utensils, and Yoo Hee-won got up slowly with a doubtful look on his face.
The three of us got out of the research building together because we were thinking of leaving work.
It was already evening, the sun had set, and the light from the street lamps seemed particularly cold in the cool breeze.
However, seeing that the children were fine even in their normal tracksuits, I felt like I was the only one who was cold.
At the crossroads between the faculty quarters and the dormitory, I greeted the children.
“Goodbye, everyone.”
“Goodbye, Professor.” “Yes.”
Han Min-ha waited for me to go first, and Yoo Hee-won turned around first.
“Heewon student.”
He called Yu Hee-won and said.
“Thank you for listening to my request.”
“What do you want?”
“Student Minha asked for help. Thank you.”
When I smiled, Yoo Hee-won opened her mouth and then turned away from me with an angry expression.
I know why you have such a strange reaction.
Shame on you.
But anyways, thank you so much…
“Then see you the day after tomorrow.”
We greeted each other, waved hands, and parted ways to our respective homes.

next day.
I left the academy in my car and drove down the highway.
I’m on my way to the administration office now.
After having a dream yesterday, I felt the need to find out not only Han Min-ha’s parents, but also my past.
And I also decided that if I knew my past, I would naturally be able to get more information about Han Min-ha’s parents.
Whatever it was, it was right that at least the only daughter of an orphan should know at least what happened to her parents.
Since the integrated call center can no longer move on to the next step even if you make an inquiry over the phone, you will have to visit it yourself.
It was my expectation that Secreto, a former professor at Grafford Academy and not anywhere else, personally visited, and that he would not be kicked out at the door.
Of course, the Administration Bureau is a strict place, so I don’t know what it will be like, but at least I’ll know how it reacts when I visit.
After a long drive, I was able to reach the administration office.
The administration office was a very tall building made of glass on all sides, and the feeling of intimidation was really great.
As I was looking up at the building for a while, I saw an unknown hero walking on a red tail from the other side of the sky onto the roof of the Administration Office.
I immediately looked away and entered the administration office.
When I presented my ID and the purpose of my visit at the entrance on the first floor, the security guard looked at my face suspiciously.
“I’m sorry, sir… are you really a hero…?”
“That’s right. How can you be an academy professor without being a hero?”
“Ummm… that’s true, but…”
The security guard, very perplexed, knocked on the keyboard again.
“Ah… But no matter how much I search… I can’t find anything by the teacher’s name…”
“I’m sure it is. There’s probably no record of my name or activity.”
“Yes…?”
The guard raised one eyebrow in amazement.
“I’m here to confirm that. If you’re having trouble responding here, please report to the higher up. Just say that an academy professor using the call sign Gray Steel has come.”
“Ummm… For now… I get it…”
The security guard had no choice but to pick up the phone and call somewhere because there was an academy faculty member ID that was proven to be true or not.
