EP.340
What on earth did you say?
“Oh, before that, this is a bit of a personal question. Do you mind?”
Instructor Lee So-ra looked at me silently for a moment and then said that.
“Of course. Where is that between you and me, instructor? Everything is fine.”
“Sigh. What kind of nonsense is this guy talking with such an innocent face? He’s not just talking about personal things. There’s no such thing for anyone, Kim Geun-cheol.”
“Of course. I know everything and I’m only telling this to the instructor.”
Of course, you should only talk about this with someone you trust. By my standards, the instructor is a very trustworthy person.
“Anyway, you speak well. Anyway, Kim Geun-cheol. Are you meeting Ryu A-ra privately these days?”
Were you curious about that?
“No? It’s nothing like that, is it?”
“Really? I talked to you on the phone and you said a lot about yourself.”
“What on earth are you talking about?”
“Like that guy, you talk about things you didn’t even ask about, but that’s the bottom line. Ryu Ara is very interested in you.”
Great interest to me!
It’s natural. How much have you received so far? There must be that much interest.
“She is a good sister.”
“Hmm… I don’t know if she’s a good sister. Anyway, Kim Geun-cheol. I have no intention of meddling in that area, but if you plan on being close to Ryu Ara, think carefully before making a decision.”
The instructor who said that seemed quite serious.
“You mean thoughts?”
It was rare for the instructor to say something like that. If you are going to be close with someone, think carefully before deciding. He’s the kind of person who will do everything when told to be friendly to everyone, but he’s saying something like this.
What on earth?
Just how suspicious is Ryu Na that a respected instructor would say something like this?
“Instructor. Is it not Ryu? Do you really dislike Ara Ryu?”
Looking back, I think Ryuuna’s side was one-sided. I just tried to talk to the instructor, but the instructor was annoyed.
“Kim Geun-cheol. You may be a superhuman, but you are still a cadet.”
“yes?”
“It doesn’t look good for a special task force agent trying to mess with that. Something like that. Did Kim Geun-cheol say your name because he didn’t want to see the line? No matter how you look at it, it’s a bit much.”
“Is that so?”
No, but if you look at how Ryu Na treats me, I think she’s just Ryu’s friend or cute younger brother, but that’s really what I mean.
“Okay. I was just going to give you some advice, but you ended up saying something strange. Go back now.”
“Hehehe, I understand. Thank you, instructor, for your hard work today.”
“These days, as vice president, I am very satisfied with the preparation of class materials.”
“I was satisfied because I worked with the title ‘Vice President.’”
“You have a talent for wearing armbands.”
As I stood up and smiled, a question suddenly occurred to me.
“Ah, by the way, instructor. I’m still a little curious. Could you please tell me where on earth Ryu Ara is suspicious? At least a little bit.”
“Hmm… well, just keep in mind that it’s suspicious. I can’t go into specifics. That’s what being an agent is all about.”
Are you saying it’s suspicious because you’re an agent?
No. The instructor probably knows Ryu Na well. So, without further ado, you’re just giving me some advice.
But is Ryu Na really a suspicious person?
“No, but don’t you know too well?”
“I have no choice but to know.”
“Maybe we were in the same unit a long time ago? Is that true?”
The instructor is a retired agent. Maybe he was in the same unit as Ryuuna… I asked while thinking about that.
“…”
Something made the instructor pause.
“Instructor?”
“…about the unit.”
“yes?”
“do not do that.”
low voice.
What just happened?
“No, it’s nothing. It’s the same unit… Well, it’s true that he’s using that name right now. That’s enough. Let’s go back.”
“Ah… yes.”
I packed my bags and came out of the counseling room.
When I looked back, the inside of the counseling room was quiet.
I can’t feel any sign of the instructor moving.
“what?”
Something just happened.
* * *
I look at the door through which Kim Geun-cheol left.
“…Unit.”
Ryu Ara I was just going to give him some advice about that guy, but I heard something unexpected.
“…”
Isora, lost in thought, placed his hand on his forehead and exhaled.
I sit quietly in my chair and think about old times that I can never forget.
There is a guy that comes to mind when I look at Kim Geun-cheol.
Comrades in the Grim Reaper unit that we can no longer meet. There were a lot of good guys. Among them, there was a guy like Kim Geun-cheol, who may seem stupid, but has clear skills, and is kind and cheerful.
There were quiet guys and there were nervous guys. Although his extreme tendencies stood out in many ways, the older guys had the personality to take good care of the kids.
“…Is it Leona that comes to mind here?”
The only one who survived was himself.
All the damned grim reapers have left for the underworld. Therefore, although the unit was disbanded, its name did not disappear.
Ryuara.
Ryu Ara inherited the name.
“…”
It’s not something I particularly like. I would rather have that name disappear. However, since it was not the retiree’s place to intervene, Lee So-ra did not say anything about it.
“I know what they’re doing there.”
There are few things the Grim Reaper would do.
Even that is not a very good thing.
“I don’t want to get involved with a good guy like Kim Geun-cheol…”
It’s a story that makes me quite reluctant to hear the Grim Reaper try to get his hands on a cute student. I don’t know if he joins the special operations department.
“…”
Lee So-ra stood up.
As I walk down the hallway with my jacket on and my hands in my pockets, I reflect on the past. The squishy emotions I felt in a strangely distorted other world. Anger boiled over, but immediately a feeling of helplessness took away all emotions.
The dead don’t come back.
“…It’s going to be hard tonight.”
You will have to drink strong alcohol without being drunk.
“Kim Geun-cheol is this guy…”
I’m losing my mind because he said something meaningless. Sora Lee clearly recognized his status as a professional superhuman.
* * *
No sooner had I called to say it was over, Leona came looking for me. After being picked up like that, the three of us trained together.
“Lee Si-hoo! Kim Geun-cheol focuses his attack!”
“huh!”
The moment when Leona and Sihu tried to attack me together.
ㅡKwaang!
I quickly stepped forward and pulled my body back, drawing them both further in. Was it Operation C? If you try to come in first, as I am the weak one, then I will leave and create some distance.
“Haap!”
Yuri, who was waiting, quickly enters and attacks one of the two.
“Tsk!”
The targeted Sihu raises his sword to block the attack. Of course, you would have expected this up to this point. Sifu is also an expert. So create a variable here.
“Hahahahaha!”
ㅡKwaang!
Kicking the ground again, Yuri launches his body towards the target he attacked!
No matter how much you fight, if Yuri and I attack together, there’s no way we can beat it. Of course, in a situation like this, I would definitely fall, but if we beat Sihu with a two-handed plan and create a one-on-one structure between Leona and Yuri, it would be beneficial for us.
It’s like eliminating Lee Si-hoo by consuming Kim Geun-cheol.
“Where! I expected it all!”
“Breaking through that is my skill!”
As expected, Leona comes in to prevent Sihu and I from plotting a two-party plan. But both of them came in targeting me. No matter what you do, it will be difficult to prevent me from contacting Sihoo.
The crossroads of victory.
Will Leona stop me or will I contact Shihu?
That’s the only thing that will decide this winner.
“Aaaah!”
I gathered my courage and expended my magical power explosively.
“Kkeuch!”
He succeeded in throwing his sword at Shihu.
ㅡKwaang!
Immediately afterwards, he was hit by Leona.
“good!”
Yuri’s attack was clean hearted and Shifu flew away. With this, Sihu and I are double eliminated. A one-on-one confrontation between Leona and Yuri was created. Excellent, Kim Geun-cheol. You raised yourself from a situation where you were inferior to a situation where you were equal.
“Great, Geuncheol. That was good just now.”
As I was sitting leaning against the wall, Sihu came and spoke. Seeing him smiling brightly and praising me, I was sure he did a good job.
“Hehehe, right?”
“But it’s not for practical use.”
“what?”
But immediately Sihu changed his face color.
“I don’t think it will be of much use. If anything, don’t use it.”
“why not?”
“That was a sacrificial attack, right? If it had been a real fight, Geuncheol would have died. It’s really a disposable tactic.”
“ah.”
That’s right.
Because it was a sparring match, I benefited from this tactic. If it were a real fight, I would have just died.
“But, well, you can’t necessarily say it’s useless.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Hey. Imagine a situation where we have to make a life-or-death decision between Idae and a villain who is stronger than us. If we go in as boldly as we are now, the other side might be scared.”
No matter who you are, if you are attacked without regard for your life, you can’t help but feel very embarrassed. The purpose of fighting is to win. It’s all about survival, but if one side gives up on that and focuses on attacking, honestly, there’s no answer other than running away.
As I roughly explained it to Sihu, I felt like even I was being persuaded.
“Uh huh? Well, that’s true after hearing the story, but… that’s too practical. It’s something a berserker rolling around on a battlefield would say. Geuncheol.”
“From now on, call me Berserker.”
“Something suits you.”
Originally, all men possessed the soul of a Berserker.
“Ah, but it’s Sihu.”
“why?”
ㅡChaeeng!
Yuri and Leona are still fighting.
If this is the right time, I can tell you.
“Tomorrow.”
I immediately told Shihu that there was a high probability that something big would happen tomorrow. There wasn’t a particularly long explanation. Because I haven’t heard anything either.
“It’s so sudden…”
“Really?”
“But there’s nothing we can do right now. Other than recovering our stamina.”
“Prepare your mind, Sihu.”
“I guess so.”
There is no specific number.
Just move when the situation arises.
ㅡKwaang!
Finally, the decision was made.
The result was a draw between Leona and Yuri.
Both look quite exhausted.
“Wow…! You’re strong as expected!”
“Haha, it’s a draw. I don’t think I can decide the winner.”
“Well, don’t be disappointed. A draw means, in other words, that both of you won.”
“Is that so?”
“yes.”
No, is that what a draw is like?
“Kim Geun-cheol! Ishihu! It’s over! I’m leaving for today!”
“Oh, okay! You worked hard! Let’s go!”
“Oh, was Kim Geun-cheol useful today? I’m going to blow myself up with Ishihu.”
“Call me Berserker.” So
I packed my bags and went outside.
“Hello!”
I said hello and was about to go back, but suddenly Leona came next to me as if she had something to say.
“Leona?”
“Today was great. That was a good strategy.”
“Hehehe, right?”
Anyway, so naturally the four of us started walking together. We kept walking while talking about various things, and we eventually arrived in front of the dormitory.
As we walked together, we came to a place like this.
“No, we ended up all the way to the dormitory?”
“That’s right. ? Stop talking. Anyway, let’s say goodbye for today! Everyone, please go in!”
“Oh, okay.”
“Go in safely.”
It’s okay.
We dispersed in front of the dormitory.
“Fuck.”
I just go in and that’s it.
