40 – Do you want to be like that? (5)
“I’m a teacher!!”
High in the sky, Professor Jin Se-young, wearing a suit, landed right next to her with a long brown aura.
“It’s Browntail…!”
A lot of people who recognized Jin Se-young gathered and took pictures.
It seemed that he had already forgotten about the return of his father until just now.
Jin Se-young is a B-class hero who is famous for his splendid aerobatics.
In addition, she is very popular with her innocent smile and pretty appearance.
With such a hero appearing in front of their eyes, it was only natural that people were upset.
“Hello, Professor Jin. Were you on standby today? You’re having a hard time on Friday.”
“What about the villain?”
I tapped the floor’s shield with the tip of my shoe.
“Eh? This?”
Professor Jin looked down curiously at the parts of his body that were squirming as if he were trapped in a small barrier and begged to be released.
“What are you doing, messing around in front of the academy?”
“That’ll be revealed by the Administration Bureau. Judging from what they’re doing, it seems like an unconscious villain.”
“Then I understand. But are you not hurt?”
“It’s fine. As you can see, I’m fine.”
“It’s fortunate that the professor was there. Otherwise, the damage would have been great… um… it’s already big…”
Seeing the injured being protected by a shield, Jin Se-young was speechless.
no. This is good enough.
If it wasn’t for me, this place would be a bloodbath by now.
In that respect, Han Min-ha and Yoo Hee-won’s actions, although reckless, were a very effective initial response.
If it wasn’t for those kids, at least dozens of people would have been torn apart by the time I figured out the situation and got here.
I’m not sure why those kids are here…
Anyway, it was impossible without some courage.
“Huh? Minha? Why are you here?”
Seeing Han Min-ha sitting behind me, Jin Se-young widened her eyes.
“Ugh… My whole body hurts…”
“Heewon…?”
Just in time, Yoo Hee-won stumbled and walked towards us, and Jin Se-yeong looked at me with a puzzled expression.
Any professor would make a face like that if he went out on a Friday night to the main street where the villains frequented and saw two academy students in dirty and torn gym uniforms.
Now, Yoo Hee-won and Han Min-ha broke the school rules, and the matter is very serious.
Unauthorized departure.
If you came all the way here dressed like that, it must have been a flight.
unauthorized flight.
I almost died there.
It could have been a huge incident that could go beyond the loss of the academy’s reputation and even shut it down.
Heewon Yoo may not know, but Minha Han might be expelled.
In addition to the defensive skills, I activated my specialized skill ‘Look Around’.
“I’m here for a map meeting and dinner.”
I interrupted before any of the three could speak.
“It’s Friday, right? It’s because it’s also Friday.”
“I see. Anyway, I’m glad everyone is safe. Heewon… are you okay?”
“It’s just a little sore.”
At that time, Chae Ga-yoon came running, pushing people away.
“Professor Professor Hyun!”
“Eh? Chief Executive?”
Jin Se-young and Chae Ga-yoon, who discovered each other, exchanged bewildered glances.
“Emergency standby…?” “Why are you here…?”
I’m sure I’ll be in trouble if I get it wrong here.
This time, the special effect is activated.
“I happened to meet the manager in front of the Bulmakchangjip and sat together, Professor Jin.”
Chae Ga-yoon, who was about to say something completely different from the truth, found the children standing on either side of me.
Han Min-ha, Yoo Hee-won, and Chae Ga-yoon, who saw my face in turn, laughed out loud and waved their hands.
“Ahahahaha! That’s right. I came here because I was craving fire, and the professor and the kids were there.”
Judgment is incredibly good.
That level should be more than one chief executive at that age.
Fortunately, the naive Professor Jin believed the words straight away without a doubt.
* * * * *
Police and ambulances arrived at the scene later.
Professor Jin Se-young, who made an emergency sortie, handed over the scene to the police as a hero in charge.
The bodies of the still wriggling unconscious villains were to be divided into superalloy boxes and sent to the Bureau of Management.
“Then… I’ll go now.”
After finishing everything, Jin Se-young greeted us.
In her hand was the bag of egg bread I had bought for her.
I bought it to eat when I was bored because I couldn’t get off work all night and had to stay in the duty room wearing a suit.
“Good work, Professor Jin.”
People cheered when Jin Se-young soared with a brown aura.
“Then let’s go. Before the reporters leave.”
I took Chae Ga-yoon and the children and slipped through the crowd.
“Huh? My phone!”
Suddenly, Yoo Hee-won shouted and groped for her pocket.
“Mistress… Did it bounce earlier?”
Then something caught on my foot and I looked down and saw a cell phone with a cracked screen.
It was the phone that Yoo Hee-won always kept in her hands.
“Isn’t this?”
Picking up the phone, I accidentally pressed the button and the screen turned on.
But the state of the lock screen…
“Give me this!”
Yoo Hee-won got angry and snatched the phone from my hand.
“Why are you looking into a high school girl’s phone and making a fuss? A man over 30 is shady…”
Yoo Hee-won muttered something and hurriedly stuffed her phone into her pocket.
Hmm… strange.
It seems that the picture on the lock screen is a picture of my side profile.
* * * * *
I tried to return to the academy right away with the kids, but it became difficult to do so.
I heard that they came out without even having dinner, so what kind of advisor would be able to send the kids on an empty stomach?
So we went in search of a gimbap restaurant in a corner that was not noticed by people.
It is said that this is a hidden restaurant known to Chae Ga-yoon, who often appears in Grafford.
Chae Ga-yoon must have been hungry as she ran out of the Bulmakchangjip without eating much.
“So… I was supposed to eat chicken with the professor… but the professor didn’t come… I went out to find it myself…?”
After hearing the explanation about why the children were wearing gym clothes in the middle of Grafford, Chae Ga-yoon stopped holding the chopsticks she was eating and let out a laugh.
“hahahaha… Kids these days are so fucking strong… Oh, I’m sorry.”
I knew that Yoo Hee-won’s explanation was a lie, but I cut the pork cutlet without saying anything.
When you want to hide or cover up something, there are times when just keeping your mouth shut rather than fussing over something works.
“Anyway… the professor said, so I’m going to pretend I don’t know, but this is a really big mistake. You know it doesn’t end with penalty points, right?”
“Yes…”
Putting the tuna gimbap in his mouth and picking up the pork cutlet gimbap, Han Min-ha answered mumblingly.
Yoo Hee-won did not answer and was in the middle of picking out the rice cakes in the ramen.
“Put rice cake in ramen… This is the first time.”
“Heewon, are you listening?”
“I’ll be careful from now on. As long as the professor keeps his promise.”
“Professor. Please buy these chickens. If you break your promise one more time, you will be expelled.”
At Chae Ga-yoon’s words, I only smiled lightly.
Chae Ga-yoon decided to help like that, so I’m relieved for now.
The entry and exit records at the front gate are also managed by the administrative office anyway, so a little manipulation is enough.
I’ll have to talk to the assistants.
Assistant Bae Ye-bin would just have to speak well, and Yu Hee-won’s nonchalant assistant Kim Lee Bit-na…
It would be better to leave it to Yoo Hee-won.
“By the way, student Heewon. Are you really in good shape?”
“I don’t think he’s hurt anywhere.”
No matter how talented he is, Yoo Hee-won is an academy student.
At the academy, students are taught to never fight and to run away and report even if they run into villains outside.
No matter how much I want to be a hero, I am not a hero.
And the gap between the two is the difference between heaven and earth.
However, Yoo Hee-won fought head-on with the villain and took time to survive.
But after all, I’ll have to take a test when I go back.
There may be internal bleeding or microfractures without knowing it.
Since she is an only child, did she inherit her father’s talent?
When it was time to graduate, I wondered how far I would have grown.
On the other hand, Han Min-ha…
Han Min-ha, who puts gimbap full of cheeks and mumbles, is still unable to use her aura.
When pushed into such an extreme situation, it is natural to activate an aura with the instinct of survival.
After all, I have no choice but to find a way to overcome the trauma by telling everyone about my parents’ work.
Let’s feed them today and send them back, and since it’s the weekend tomorrow, let’s talk.
Originally, academy students are allowed to stay out on weekends, but freshmen are not allowed.
With only a week of vacation, the daily schedule is almost equivalent to that of military academies.
“I eat a lot. Both suffered.”
“By the way, Professor, what kind of technology did you use?”
He kindly answered Yoo Hee-won’s question.
“There’s nothing special. It’s an application of the basic shield.”
“Huh… You say you can do that with just one shield?”
Yoo Hee-won asked with very doubtful eyes.
“It’s not difficult. You just need to be able to create a shield of the desired strength in the desired shape at the desired location.”
“You speak so easily.”
Yoo Hee-Won muttered, but she was quietly listening to me with her eyes shining with regret.
“Minha student.”
“Yes… yes!”
“If you can use an aura, you can do the things I did earlier, very easily.”
“Ah yes.”
Yoo Hee-won clicked her tongue as she saw Han Min-ha lowering her head slightly.
“If only you had helped me earlier, I could have ended it.”
“Sorry, but I’m too scared…”
“Are you thinking of graduating?”
When Han Min-ha didn’t say anything, Yoo Hee-won made a disapproving impression.
“And stop eating steamed rice and eat some ramen. Do you have something to choke on?”
“When I eat ramen, my glasses fog up and it’s uncomfortable…”
“Then take it off and eat it.”
“Ah…? Then it will be fine.”
“Ugh, really…”
He spoke softly to Han Min-ha, who was arguing, no, one-sidedly beaten.
“It’s okay, student Min-ha. What you did earlier. You were really brave. If you can’t use your aura, you’re no different from a civilian, but you stopped the villain in that state. Of course, I almost died.”
Then, Yoo Hee-won muttered something to herself, saying that the wrong bitch is being praised for something else that she fought against.
“Student Hee-won, too. I ignored the advice of the academy not to confront the villain, but thanks to Hee-won, it didn’t lead to a major disaster. You did well. But please don’t do that in the future.”
“It feels so good to stab me in the side and receive me.”
Yoo Hee-won, who was being sarcastic, smiled and added.
“And I’m sorry.”
“Yeah…? What is it?”
“The words and actions that have hurt Heewon so far.”
They deceived themselves into possessing Han Tae-woo’s web novel and misunderstood Yu Hee-won as the heroine of the web novel.
So, from the beginning, he avoided and rejected Yu Hee-won.
However, looking back now that he has learned all the truth, Yu Hee-won was pushed out without knowing why.
Of course… it doesn’t matter that the personality is dirty, but anyway, I had to admit that my attitude towards her was inappropriate.
And in this case, it is right to apologize.
“Uh… Hmmm… suddenly what…”
Yoo Hee-won, who did not know the exact inside story, cleared her throat, avoiding my sudden apology.
A very faint blush appeared on her face.
