Chapter 82 – 28. The Reason Why Instructor Joo Na-Yeon Called Eric at Night (1)
“You mean it’s a secret?”
At those words, I looked at Instructor Joo Na-yeon’s expression.
‘No way. ‘What you’re trying to tempt me with is…’
Because of my recent strange relationship with my subordinates, I had some doubts.
Joo Na-yeon’s expression was serious.
‘Okay. There is no way that a woman who is not a member of my household would suddenly have lewd thoughts upon seeing me.’
As my descendants are all beautiful women.
I may have been thinking excessively self-conscious thoughts without realizing it.
For a moment, Instructor Joo Na-yeon looked at the surroundings.
“Oh. Because now is the time to lead the kids for a while. “I’ll see you later after dinner and tell you!”
Joona Yeon said that and lowered her head.
Then she quickly left her place.
‘Well, she will be a great help in this competition. ‘We can talk about it a little later.’
Although Nova Academy nominally sent several cadet parties into the competition as a team.
The party that actually represents Nova is the current 13th Platoon.
It was simply Eric’s party.
So, instructor Joo Na-yeon joined as a coach to take care of my platoon, not her platoon.
I arrived here first by car on a personal schedule.
‘I’m glad I’m with instructor Joo Na-yeon.’
It wasn’t actually easy to manage the female cadets in my party by myself.
As an awakened person, he can help in battle.
No matter how many of my family members there are, there are five young women in their 20s.
In that respect, I was fortunate that instructor Joo Na-yeon came with me.
I sat on the sofa in the lobby for a moment and checked today’s schedule.
The schedule for the competition lasts two weeks.
Although the period was by no means short for an exchange that took place during the semester.
The current competition was on a different level from a simple university league game.
‘In the eyes of civilians, there is no sport more spectacular than this.’
A battle based on the special abilities of awakened people.
It was more spectacular than a hero movie full of the latest CG technology.
Moreover, the prize money for this competition is at the same level as that of a major European soccer cup.
Of course, at this point, the money was not important to me and my companions.
Still, more than any other training, my current experience in competitive warfare will be of great help in the dangerous future ahead.
‘I can’t grow my party through ordinary training right now anyway.’
I closed my eyes for a moment and concentrated my senses.
As expected, those eyes watching me from somewhere.
I could feel that extremely hidden life.
The worst villain group, Black Eclipse.
Those guys started targeting Su-A in earnest.
Considering the story of the original novel, it is at this point that Black Eclipse and Su-ah have already officially encountered each other.
‘It’s already the second half of the novel.’
Actually, it was so close.
Even with the normal growth of the protagonist, Black Eclipse’s scheme cannot be prevented.
In reality, Su-ah ends up becoming the villain of Black Eclipse.
She cannot stop the demonic beast of the beginning and the end, which her parents risked their lives to seal.
No, rather, she is consumed by the ideology of Black Eclipse, and only harbors a fierce hatred for the awakened society and the current world that sacrificed her parents.
Due to the year immediately following the end of the war, the subsequent scenario was unknown.
If we infer the future contents of the story, the main character Su-ah, who has that special blood, will definitely come into contact with the devil.
‘If that demon, who is already a transcendent level… Encounters Su-ah, the main character who has been corrupted into a villain…’
With the foreshadowing mentioned, the end of the world will definitely begin.
So when I read that novel, I felt really absurd.
In any way, Su-ah couldn’t avoid the bad ending and the impoverished ending.
‘But now there is a possibility.’
But now there is a difference.
Because of the person possessed by me.
Although there were other possessors like Iris and my lieutenant Krael.
Still, I was the only one who could directly intervene against Su-ah.
And the apocalypse can never be prevented just by the growth of Su-ah.
The final party with Su-ah.
Because that colleague had to be there too.
‘My descendants. ‘I will protect everyone.’
So, in the current two weeks, you will not only raise your subordinate level and strengthen your body.
It is a time to increase teamwork among other party members.
So I checked the schedule again.
Today is Saturday.
It was already evening and the long bus ride had taken a long time.
Today and tomorrow, which is the weekend, are free schedules for members who do not have competition schedules.
Instructor Joo Na-yeon, not me, will lead that private time.
‘Anyway, once the competition starts, we have to stick together.’
Maintaining some distance during those two days.
It would be a pretty good way to increase the lust of the subordinates.
I went back to my room in the hotel.
I felt a little drowsy, perhaps because I had spent such an intense time with Jeong Ha-eun on the bus.
After finishing dinner with hotel room service, I spent some time relaxing before my appointment with Joo Na-yeon.
***
It was late at night.
Instructor Joo Na-yeon said she had something to tell me in secret.
I briefly washed my body and checked the messages on my smartphone.
[Instructor Joo Na-yeon: We arrived at the hotel with the cadets! Then, see you at the hotel bar in a little while, no, an hour later!]
Although she knew she would meet right away when she came back.
Instructor Joo Na-yeon sent her message asking for an hour.
‘Do you have much to tell me? ‘It took an hour.’
And an hour later, I headed to the hotel bar.
The same hotel as my family.
So, you might run into them late at night.
When I think about it, I had no worries about that.
In order to maintain physical condition, I have banned the cadets who compete as athletes from drinking alcohol during competition periods.
‘But you’re talking about a hotel?’
However, there is an exception for instructors, not players.
Suddenly, I wondered why instructor Joo Na-yeon had chosen that place for the meeting.
Since I was already stuck in an expensive hotel, I thought it would be a nice change of pace to try out the hotel bar.
In any case, all costs will be covered by Helios Guild, the sponsor of Nova Academy players.
I headed to the hotel bar.
And there I looked around for a moment.
‘I said Instructor Joo Na-yeon arrived first.’
But she couldn’t find her.
As it is the most famous hotel in Busan, there were a lot of people at the bar even late at night.
So it was harder to find Joo Na-yeon.
‘By the way, everyone’s outfits are flashy.’
In fact, it is a luxurious place that cannot be compared to places like bars in the downtown area.
As such, it felt like the dress code and the guests here were very mindful.
The world and era are different.
The continent of another world where Iris and I lived.
I felt like I was attending a noble party held there.
‘Did I come dressed too plainly?’
All he wore was black slacks and a simple shirt.
She hadn’t styled her hair in any way, and since she was lying in bed, it was a mess.
For some reason, the bar here felt a little hot, so I unbuttoned one more shirt button on my chest.
Overall, it was a loose outfit.
‘But the person I decided to meet was instructor Joo Na-yeon. It doesn’t really matter.’
She always wears training clothes.
Her daily attire was leggings and a tank top that showed off her healthy body.
Her outfit was no different when I met her in her lobby earlier that evening.
‘So it will be noticeable right away. ‘Where on earth are you?’
As I looked around, several women approached me.
“Um… Are you here alone? “If you don’t have company, would you like to have a drink with us?”
“We’ll buy the cocktails!”
I didn’t think much of it.
As if I had come to the most famous club in Seoul.
The women who approached me were dressed extravagantly.
Although she was a woman of considerable beauty and appearance.
To be honest, they were all worse than Iris alone.
‘Instructor Joo Na-yeon has a better body.’
Of course, I never once had such unhealthy thoughts toward Instructor Joo Na-yeon.
I declined the offer to sit together.
However, during that short period of time, the women here kept talking to me and throwing looks at me several times, which was quite annoying.
‘Where on earth is Instructor Joo Na-yeon?’
At that time, someone tapped my shoulder.
It seemed like hunting had come in again.
So I turned my head to refuse.
For a moment, I looked at the woman’s face and hesitated for a moment.
‘It’s pretty.’
She was a young woman with long brown hair and wearing a ribbed dress that revealed her entire body line and figure.
Until now, the women who had offered to sit with me were beautiful by world standards.
Still, I didn’t like it because it looked overly decorated and had heavy makeup.
The woman in front of me was different.
Light makeup, uncharacteristic of a guest visiting a place like this.
And the hair was plain at first glance, as if it had not been styled other than the fact that it was long.
Still, she had a very pretty face, and her decorated or unadorned face shone even more.
“Um… Over there…”
So, I couldn’t turn away when the voice called me with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Probably if I hadn’t made an appointment with instructor Joo Na-yeon.
It felt attractive enough to make me want to try a light cocktail.
But I shook my head.
“Sorry. “I have a group of people here with me, so it’s difficult to sit together with other people…”
“Well, that’s not it! “No matter how much I sit, it won’t come… So I came to find it myself!”
“Yes? “What does that mean… Huh?”
But the woman did not back down.
Now that I think about it, the answer was somehow strange.
It wasn’t just our first meeting, she was talking as if she knew me.
‘Wait, really?’
And the moment I belatedly checked the woman in front of me again.
I was embarrassed, unlike me.
“Instructor Joo Na-yeon?”
Surprisingly, the attractive woman in front of me was instructor Joo Na-yeon.
When I found out later, she lowered her head as if she was very embarrassed and carefully grabbed the sleeve of my shirt and pulled it down.
“Yes… That’s right. “Other people keep looking at me… So let’s move to the counter quickly.”
She led me to the counter in a very feminine voice, different from her usual voice.
Soon the two sat side by side in front of the counter.
