47 – Powerful (4)
Han Min-ha blinked his eyes wide, not understanding the meaning of my words.
“Gorge… what…?”
“Let’s screw it up. That student named Song Do-yoon.”
“Uh… I still don’t have any proof that he did it…”
“Of course, there is no evidence that Song Do-yoon did it. But there is no evidence that he didn’t.”
I smiled and said softly.
“Isn’t it a bit unreasonable to regard it as a coincidence that a bird broke through the window exactly twice in Minha’s room and in the empty room she moved to?”
“That’s true, but how could Doyun throw a bird through a window without being caught on CCTV?”
“It may not have been thrown.”
At my words, Han Min-ha tilted her head slightly as if she really didn’t know.
He looked like a timid cat with his big dark eyes covered in a blanket.
“Heroes have numerous abilities and characteristics. Among them, there are telekinetic powers to move objects and the ability to tame animals. It is not yet in the stage of formally developing individual characteristics, but if Song Do-yoon has such abilities, it is possible. It’s work.”
“is that so…?”
“Song Do-yoon is a top class, so even if he doesn’t have those characteristics, he’ll be capable enough to organize a night job.
“Umm… but if there’s still no confirmation…”
Han Min-ha showed a somewhat frustrated reaction, but I laughed lowly instead of pressing on.
“Does it have to be confirmed?”
“Otherwise, it’s just a cover-up.”
“No. It’s not that I’m putting the blame on you. Anyway, even if it’s not this time, Min-ha has something to pay back to Song Do-yoon.”
I am talking about the fact that he poured out abusive words at Han Min-ha.
If you have the right way of thinking, you can’t just call someone a ‘whore’.
“You can’t stay still after hearing such a thing, student Min-ha. Even if your feelings aren’t hurt, you have to get angry on purpose. If you don’t clearly show where the line you shouldn’t cross is, you will continue to suffer. And now, student Min-ha is shocked to the extent that normal schoolwork is difficult You’re in a state where you’ve received? In this case, you have to take revenge.”
“revenge…”
“It doesn’t matter anyway whether Song Do-yoon flew the bird or not. The justification for revenge against Song Do-yoon was already prepared before that. Of course, it would be better if Song Do-yoon really flew the bird. If it was someone other than Song Do-yoon, then that would be Let’s think about it again. But it’s most likely that it’s Song Do-yoon’s student, or someone else who has been instigated.”
I didn’t immediately come up with a lamentable answer, as if my words sounded a bit violent and radical.
“You don’t have to answer right away. But consider what I said. There’s no guarantee this won’t happen in the future.”
“All right…”
I stood up from the chair and looked down at Han Min-ha, who lowered her head.
“Later, when time passes, you will definitely regret it.
“Yes…”
“Then see you later.”
* * * * *
Assistant instructor Bae approached me as I left the duty room.
“Professor! Have you talked to Minha?”
“I did. It seems that the shock was severe.”
“I’m sure it will… It’s happened twice… But what is it?”
“Well, I don’t know. Student Min-ha isn’t the kind of person who wants someone. It’s hard to believe, but I have to think it’s a coincidence.”
For now, I decided that only I knew about the conflict with Song Do-yoon.
There’s nothing good to spread rumors about, and above all, it’s better to share information with a minimum number of people when devising countermeasures against enemies.
Just me and Han Min-ha.
Yoo Hee-won is well.
According to what I have figured out so far, Song Do-yoon is one of Yoo Hee-won’s followers and is a child who claims to be his right-hand man.
Even though Yoo Hee-won seems to be grouchy on the outside and takes care of Han Min-ha, I still don’t know which of Yoo Hee-won leans more towards Song Do-yoon or Han Min-ha.
In such a situation, unexpected side effects may occur if you hastily attract Yu Hee-won.
Well, maybe that’s for the better.
Currently, Han Min-ha is no match for Song Do-yoon, who is in the upper class.
Han Min-ha must learn how to properly control her aura, and she can also use it as a power source for revenge against Song Do-yoon.
The revenge I’m talking about here is physical revenge.
People like Han Min-ha can never do things like brawls, behind-the-scenes work, and politics.
This is Hero Academy.
All curriculum aims to raise students’ fighting ability to the limit and receive the highest grade possible upon graduation.
For heroes who risk their lives fighting against villains, other sundry things are not a consideration.
A hero who is not supported by combat power will eventually die someday, no matter how splendid his performance is.
The academy, which creates such heroes, is the same.
If Han Min-ha had excellent grades, that is, strong fighting power, Song Do-yoon would not have dared to say such a stupid thing.
Although I am absolutely against it.
Are there only one or two heroes who have turned into villains after making them stronger?
Anyway… Apart from that, it is natural that Han Min-ha’s revenge should be a physical revenge that is pressed down with combat power.
Using this incident as an opportunity, I will completely renovate Han Min-ha until summer vacation.
That’s why he recommended Han Min-ha to take revenge.
And…
To be a hero, you must also know how to trample on others.
If you don’t have such a pulpit, you can never become an S-class.
By the way… It’s a fight between girls…
Besides, not all of them are like that, and I’m in a situation where I’m misunderstanding the two by myself…
This is a very rare case…
I was just leaving the dormitory and going to the research building when I heard a voice calling me from behind.
“professor!”
When I turned around, Han Min-ha was running out.
“Minha student.”
“Professor…! I’m sorry… that’s what you said earlier.”
Han Min-ha, standing in front of me, said in a somewhat exasperated voice.
“I’ve been thinking, can I really…?”
“Of course. If I couldn’t do it, I wouldn’t have said it in the first place.”
“then…”
When Han Min-ha hesitated without finishing his words, I replaced the words that followed.
“I will help. So that student Min-ha can repay the disgrace he suffered. And along with that, how to properly control the aura.”
“thank you…”
Han Min-ha lowered his head and said with a smile.
“Let’s check out who is tired of living in the academy.”
* * * * *
From that day on, I immediately entered Han Min-ha’s special training.
There are two reasons for training Han Min-ha so quickly.
First of all, the end-of-semester evaluation is coming soon.
If you get good grades at that time, you can go up to the upper class next semester.
Unlike regular high schools, academies re-rank students every semester and move classes continuously.
Opportunity comes twice a year.
If you miss this bus, Hanminha will have to spend one more semester in a lower class, and if that happens, the gap with the upper classes will widen even more.
You have to get excellent grades in the end-of-semester evaluation, and in order to do that, you must be able to control your aura in detail.
The second reason is the week-long summer vacation that comes after the end-of-semester evaluation.
It is said that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but Hanmin is not a gentleman.
Revenge has a timing, and if you miss that timing, the meaning fades.
Especially considering Han Min-ha and Song Do-yoon’s relationship right now, it’s not appropriate to seek revenge after summer vacation.
The justification may fade and even the emotions may become dull.
So now, at the sharpest moment, at this point where you just bumped your shoulder and passed by, you have to turn around and hit the back of the head.
For that reason, I immediately headed to the long-range engagement and shooting range with Han Min-ha and Yoo Hee-won.
This is a place where you literally train to kill enemies from afar using auras.
For example, a technique such as the ‘killing ray’ that was the special skill of Han Min-ha’s mother Seo Ji-ah.
True to its name, the long-distance engagement and shooting range, the shooting range boasted an enormous scale.
The size is incomparable to the hemp water training ground I visited last time.
In the training range, various types of targets are installed by distance and altitude, and they are all automated shooting ranges that can be moved in any direction.
Long range shooting requires a high degree of concentration.
Therefore, there is nothing like shooting training for Han Min-ha, who must learn how to control his aura.
“Professor. How come the guidance meeting seems to revolve around him too much?”
Yu Hee-won, arms folded, grumbled with a dissatisfied expression.
“It’s only natural to help Min-ha because she’s lacking a lot. To be honest, wasn’t Hee-won the head of the end-of-semester evaluation even if he didn’t practice separately?”
“under.”
He snorted, but Yoo Hee-won didn’t say anything more, as if he thought so too.
“Hey, student Minha. Today, we will practice shooting long-distance targets with Auras. Shooting requires a high level of concentration. Along with that, careful Aura management must be added. You will be able to subdue targets at a desired distance. You have to use only as much Aura as you need. Otherwise, you won’t be able to hit the target at the desired distance, and even if you do, you can damage civilians by using excessive Aura.”
“All right.”
“Then, student Heewon will demonstrate it first.”
Yoo Hee-won, a little taken aback by the sudden mention, looked at me.
“Am I?”
“It’s not me, it’s me. Can you shoot? Show me.”
“Hmm. Okay.”
Yoo Hee-won walked out in a diagonal line.
Then, standing sideways, he stretched his arms out in front of him, thumb and forefinger stretched out like a pistol.
“It’s bread, it’s bread.”
Yoo Hee-won flicked her wrist as if there was a rebound, and several golden auras were fired from her fingertips like bullets.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
Alarms announcing the hit sounded one after another from the speakers.
A great talent that will not be inferior at all even if you debut as an active player right away…
Yoo Hee-won’s ability is surprising even to me, a professor.
“Did you see it, student Minha? Now go up to the firing line. Let’s try it together.”
He set Han Min-ha in the line of fire and stood behind him and pointed at a target.
“Let’s try that target. It’s nothing special. Just collect the aura at the tip of your finger and shoot it. It doesn’t matter what shape it is. It could be a bullet or a beam of light.”
Han Min-ha carefully stood in the same posture as Yu Hee-won did.
Umm… It’s a bit funny… First of all, what.
“As you feel the aura… think of it as gathering the aura around your hand with your fingertips. You’re only gathering the aura around your hand, not the whole body. Can you feel it?”
“Ah yes.”
“Okay. That’s half the success. Now, when you’ve collected the auras like little beans, shoot them. It’s okay if you can’t hit them. How to use some of the auras… oops!”
I was pushed back strongly by the wave of aura that exploded in Han Min-ha’s body.
If Yoo Hee-won hadn’t supported him in time, he would have fallen down in front of the students.
“Hey, you stupid milk boy! What should I do with that!”
“Mom! Professor! I’m sorry!!”
Han Min-ha stamped his feet, not knowing what to do.
“It’s okay… just practice…”
I wonder if I can make progress on something today…
Anyway, Auror’s power is really amazing.
It felt like a head-on collision with a dump truck.
If it was a normal person, it would probably have been broken in one or two places.
She is also the daughter of Han Tae-woo and Seo Ji-ah.
I brushed off my clothes and walked up to Han Min-ha again.
“Let’s try again. This time be really careful… that’s right… coke!”
“Hey!! Han Min-ha!!”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!!”
“hahahaha… It’s okay… Really…”
* * * * *
Beep!
Finally, a welcome sound came from the speakers in the shooting range.
The irregularly shaped aura shot by Han Min-ha flew long, brushed a designated target, and hit the target after it.
“Professor…! I did it! I did it…!”
“What did you do?! You missed it in the wrong place. Ugh… Really…”
Han Min-ha leaps for joy and Yoo Hee-won despises them.
“Excellent. Even though I didn’t hit the target properly, I’ve mastered the basics, so let’s go into the advanced process from now on.”
I opened the box I brought and took out the things I had prepared there.
This is a training for newcomers when they first enter Secreto, and it is very ignorant and uncivilized, but the effect is certain.
Yoo Hee-won snorted as she took the items out of the box.
“Professor. Are you going to do some kind of street performance?”
“These are all items required for training.”
