15. Maehwa (1)
Day 2 of the academy.
I opened the door to combat class 1.
I decided to start the day by waking up around 6 o’clock, leaving the dormitory, and meditating at the gymnasium.
Thanks to Jia Ryu, I was able to have a pretty solid start today.
For some reason, I stood in front of Jia Liu, who turned her head toward the window.
“Toes. Are you okay?”
Jiah Liu nodded her head, her eyes closed as always.
“Yes. Yes. Are you okay. The health teacher said that it would be okay if I didn’t overwork myself today.”
“I’m glad.”
He is a health teacher, but a medical practitioner who has awakened the ability to heal.
Few people today can make a more certain medical judgment than these people.
“Oh, don’t overdo it. The instructor who will be assigned will understand.”
“Yes, thank you for your concern… thank you.”
“Yeah, be careful.”
I turned and walked forward. As soon as I sat down, Baek Hwa-yeon, who was in the front seat, turned her head.
Blue eyes stared at me.
“Dojin, Dojin! Who would you like to be the instructor in charge?”
“Okay.”
I don’t even know who it is.
After a while, class 1’s homeroom teacher Park Cheol-woong opened the door and came in.
“After a while, you will be contacted by a dedicated instructor assigned to you on the Iroas Watch. I want everyone to focus on contact.”
It was literally a smart watch provided by Iroas Academy.
It was used to provide various guidance to each cadet.
Diring!
[Cadet: Lee Do-jin]
[Instructor in charge: Yu Seol-ah Special Advisor]
I expected it to some extent.
Maybe the swordsman might choose me.
“Oh, Master! You always put them on the list of instructors only with words, and you’ve never really been a dedicated instructor!”
After saying that, Baek Hwa-yeon pushed her face toward me. It means to quickly say who is in charge.
“I am Swordsman too.”
“Just in case! We can go together!”
It seemed that Seolah Yoo had no doubts about choosing me as her exclusive student.
A notification that seemed to have been sent by Yu Seol-ah arrived at Iroas Watch.
[Location: A place that Hwayeon knows… ☆]
“….”
Is this swordsman crazy?
What else is an asterisk?
My eyebrows were crumpled at the state of the text message sent assuming that I would go with Baek Hwa-yeon.
I slipped my Iroas watch out to Baek Hwa-yeon.
“Can you guess where?”
“Yes! Outside of the mountains, I only trained there.”
Baek Hwa-yeon held the hand of Lee Do-jin and went to the first class of the combat system. Then she went to the parking lot casually and took out the car keys.
It was an SUV.
Beep-!
Baek Hwa-yeon grabbed the steering wheel casually from the driver’s seat.
“I know how to drive.”
That was pretty good too. The snap to turn the steering wheel was unusual.
Baek Hwa-yeon turned the steering wheel and smiled.
“I drove every time something got stuck while training!”
You’re using a fairly realistic stress relief method, quite different from your obsession with the sword.
I need to get my license. Around summer vacation.
The driving was quite stable.
“Really the best driver.”
“Best… what? Do-jin is like an uncle. Mister! Hee hee.”
Fortunately, it was something I had heard a lot since I was young.
I decided to take this opportunity to ask what I wanted to ask.
“How did the Sword Master’s disciple become? Don’t be in trouble.”
Baek Hwa-yeon hummed and started to speak her words.
“I was an orphan. I was abandoned in front of the nursery when I was very young. I don’t even know if it was my parents who abandoned me or not.”
Looks like he had a pretty dark past. But Baek Hwa-yeon did not stop her words.
“I ended up living in an orphanage. I lived well until I was 7 years old. Suddenly, from one day, children over 10 years old disappeared one by one. They were all sisters and brothers I was close with.”
Baekhwayeon’s temperature was not as hot as usual. She continued her speech with a cool temperature.
“Since I was little, I have loved night walks. I overheard it. How much is someone’s child, how much is he? Having a bargain-like conversation with the director. Three of the children I bought before have already died… It was, maybe?”
I stayed silent and listened to the words in my ears.
“The me at that time. The 7-year-old me didn’t know anything, but I knew I could die if I stayed here. So he grabbed me and ran away.”
Baek Hwa-yeon raised the corner of her mouth.
“Without telling anyone. Alone. Plan a suitable day for yourself. I got out safely by myself.”
Alone.
Baek Hwa-yeon kept repeating whether her words were weighing on her.
“And it happened to be picked up by Master who handled the nearby gate. I told Master everything I knew. Master completely believed my words and took care of the orphans.”
I just vaguely recalled the name of the nursery school where Baek Hwa-yeon was.
Because it was a case that became quite famous around the world.
“The Sewoon Nursery School Mutant Incident….”
At my words, Baek Hwa-yeon nodded her head slowly.
“Right.”
The Sewoon Orphanage Mutant Incident.
A case in which a nursery school made a deal with a group that conducted experiments on mutants and awakened people.
All the staff at the daycare center were arrested. They are still serving sentences in prison, but the groups that did business with them have been told that their whereabouts are still unknown after 13 years.
“That was the case that the swordsman put his strength into.”
“Yeah, if Master hadn’t intervened, there wouldn’t have even been an investigation into the orphanage.”
There must have been few people who would have believed the words of a 7-year-old child.
“There were two kids I was really close with. But it seems they were sold right before the investigation started. A week ago?”
Always bright.
Baek Hwa-yeon, who seemed to only know swordsmanship, had a darkness that was hard for me to imagine.
I could feel deep regret and sighs in her calm words. Her resentment towards herself.
“Business partners of the nursery school… Find it someday, um. You have to cut it all off.”
I felt.
It’s not just a flow of words. It’s not a lie, Baek Hwa-yeon really thinks so. Promise to do so
“Thank you. For telling me about you.”
Baek Hwa-yeon smiled at my words.
“This is my first time. Talking about my old days Ah, since Master is there, it’s the second time. Oh, it’s all here!”
The vehicle arrived at the place designated by the post-mortem.
The SUV stopped at a villa.
To be precise, it was a luxurious villa.
“Let’s go! Do Jin-ah.”
Baek Hwa-yeon smiled and returned to her lively appearance.
Baek Hwa-yeon held my hand and opened the door to the villa.
“You’ll be down there.”
I went down the stairs and put my right hand on the access detector next to the door.
Baek Hwa-yeon’s fingerprints were scanned, and the huge door slowly opened.
Giying-
Underground training room.
A huge training ground unfolded before Lee Do-jin’s eyes.
It was like a miniature version of an academy training room.
Baek Hwa-yeon sprinted towards Yoo Seol-ah, who was meditating in the center of the training room.
“Master! Dojin and I are here!”
After the sword, Seolah Yoo opened her eyes.
He smiled and stroked Baek Hwa-yeon’s light pink hair.
“Hwayeon-ah, stay up for a while. I have something to say with Cadet Lee Do-jin.”
“Oh yes!”
Baek Hwa-yeon followed her teacher’s words and immediately went up to the ground.
In the underground training ground, only the two of us, Swordhu and I, were left.
“You came. Cadet Lee Do-jin.”
“Isn’t it impossible not to come? You are my dedicated instructor.”
“Puhehehe!”
Yoo Seol-ah laughed at what I said was funny.
“Originally, I only put my name on the list of instructors, and I’ve never been in charge of anyone. Hwayeon is my disciple, so I brought her. Cadet Lee Do-jin is an unusual case.”
Yoo Seol-ah drew her eye smile.
“No matter how much I think about it, there is no instructor other than me who can handle Cadet Lee Do-jin. Among the instructors dedicated to the first year.”
Yoo Seol-ah raised her ‘force’.
The red air current encroached on the training ground.
A feeling of pressure ran through her body. I also raised my momentum.
The colorless airflow began to drive away the red.
Yoo Seol-ah laughed.
A deep red blush on her face. She felt like madness, desperate to fight.
“Cadet Lee Do-jin. What last name is it?”
“… 2 Stars.”
“I am a 7 star. I don’t know how many cadet cadet Do-jin Lee’s new song is. The gap in inner strength is too big, so let’s fight later. Later.”
Later.
As if Yu Seol-ah was suppressing her desire to fight with me. She repeated her words later.
“Three stars. When I reach 3 stars, then we fight right away.”
The position of the 4 supermen is high.
So I also decided to be polite.
From noble mtl dot com
“I think we can win then. I don’t know now.”
At my words, Yu Seol-ah suddenly lost her energy that had filled her training room.
That’s why I lost my momentum too.
“… I don’t know now. If you become 3 stars, can you beat me?”
“Yes.”
Yoo Seol-ah suddenly hugged me.
“Lee, Cadet Lee Do-jin really… !! An innovative cadet!”
I could feel her voluptuous breasts and body temperature.
I quickly pulled back.
“God, I am so excited. Paint it right.”
“… I guess so.”
Yoo Seol-ah burst into laughter at my words again.
“Today will be the time for Cadet Lee Do-jin to prove his confidence.”
“What about proof?”
“Please defeat Hwayeon. Ruthlessly to the point of completely convincing defeat.”
For a while, I felt like I had a glimpse of Yoo Seol-ah as a ‘teacher’.
“Because I have never been defeated by my peers. Hwayeon is. She’s also hitting her limits right now. To break boundaries, you need some pretty intense moments.”
Is that a brutal defeat?
“I don’t know.”
But.
“I will try sparring. Because I want to see Hwa-yeon’s sword again.”
I wanted to see Baek Hwa-yeon’s sword once more.
