Chapter 29 – 029 Academy Summer Vacation (0)
***
“Joo Won should be fine…”
Lee Da-eun was on her way to the infirmary with a C-class elixir in her arms. From Lee Da-eun’s point of view, she was worthy of an A-class elixir, but it was the result of her own compromise as it was clear that she would reject it every time feeling burdened.
She said that even though she was in C grade, she was over tens of millions of won, but it wasn’t a lot of money for her.
She also had access to her VIP viewing room, but she didn’t and she checked her sparring scene with her own eyes.
The viewing room was a pleasant environment, but it lacked a sense of realism and made it difficult to feel the flow of her magical power.
“If only it was a little faster… Joo Won would have won..”
Lee Da-eun was looking at the couple’s sparring accurately. A fist that explodes the moment Kang Ju-won’s sword touches it. If Kang Ju-won had been a little faster, the result would have been different.
__ And that’s Mamang over there
__Hey, how can you say that out loud!
As she is also a celebrity in her own way, when she walks inside the academy, she often gets attention like this.
‘What does that mean?’
She was bothered by the occasional word ‘mamang’, but it didn’t seem to have any ill intentions, so she didn’t care too much.
‘…’
As her gaze became strained, she quickly headed for the infirmary.
When I arrived at the entrance of the infirmary, I remembered the defeated Kang Joo-won.
As she was thinking about how to comfort her, she heard a conversation inside.
“… “
She knew she shouldn’t overhear, but she carefully focused on the conversation she heard from inside.
The moment she concentrates, she hears her own childhood friend’s voice.
“It doesn’t mean anything else… I want to be close to you from now on.”
“… “
Lee Da-eun, she unconsciously clenched her fists.
As Kang Ju-won’s business went bankrupt, the two grew apart.
Even if she wanted to help, she felt burdened and could not because she could see her increasing distance. She could only watch her from afar.
She was so happy when she met again at the academy.
She thought again that she would be able to get close like she used to, but the distance never really got any closer.
‘I am… Why are you pushing me away like that?’
To Lee Da-eun, Kang Min-ji felt like a fire fox. A very evil fire fox who possessed her own precious childhood friend.
“I do not like it”
A resolute refusal to hear from Minji Kang. Thoughts with relief
‘Where’s our Joo-won?’
Still, her relief was greater. But Kang Joo-won doesn’t even know her heart
“I don’t mean anything bad, I was able to learn a lot in Dalian today… That’s why we want to stay closer for the sake of each other’s development in the future.”
When Kang Joo-won heard her words, she felt her own heart aching every time. But she didn’t think it meant anything else.
Their skills were so similar that it was a close match, so it was clear that they wanted to become close to each other for the sake of development.
Lee Da-eun, who saw Kang Joo-won working hard to achieve good grades in her academy, believed in Kang Joo-won, whom she had seen all along.
She was the one that so many women had confessed to but all rejected, so she was so clear this time around too.
While she was clearing her mind, someone was walking towards the entrance of the infirmary.
‘That person… ’
Lee Da-eun looked at Kim Si-woo. She knew about Kim Si-woo because she had intuitively seen Yoon Seo-ah’s couple, but because of the sudden change in her appearance, she couldn’t imagine that it was Kim Si-woo in front of her eyes.
She only thought of her as Kang Min-ji’s friend because she saw Kang Joo-won’s sparring opponent, Kang Min-ji, on her back.
There was a black envelope in the person’s hand, and the destination was obvious from the fact that he was holding something to eat.
The infirmary that he is blocking the front. She was troubled
She herself doesn’t think so, but if others see her, wouldn’t it look like she’s flirting with Kang Min-ji? Won’t there be strange rumors going around later?
‘I can’t let them go in right now!’
She hadn’t checked because she was distracted earlier, but she noticed that the man in front of her had an excellent appearance.
If Kang Joo-won was a handsome man with a gentle impression, often called a flower boy, the cadet in front of her was a handsome man with a strong sense of sharpness.
It came as a fresh shock to her, who had grown accustomed to Kang Joo-won’s face.
‘It’s not the time to be thinking about this!’
When she didn’t know what to say, it was right to say hello first. He tried to say hello calmly, but he stuttered involuntarily at the face of Siwoo Kim who was approaching.
“Ah.. Ah.. How are you?”
“Hello”
Kim Si-woo and Lee Da-eun, who reacted as if they didn’t know if Lee Da-eun would talk first, began spinning in her head as to what to say. Should I introduce myself first?
“I..My name is Lee Da-eun!”
“Ah.. Yes, I know, you are the second-in-command of the academy, right?”
Kim Si-woo stared into the air for a moment with a questioning expression, then burst out laughing.
“Can you get out of the way? I came to see Minji.”
“That…What’s your name?”
“I am Siwoo Kim.”
“Kim Si-woo..?”
There was only one Kim Si-woo she knew. It was the protagonist who made Yun Seo-ah her first defeat in Dalian, and it was the name she chewed on over and over again after hearing the news that she was at the bottom of the school.
“That.. Kim Si-woo who beat Yoon Seo-ah?”
“Yes.. That’s the previous one”
Kim Si-woo scratched his head as if embarrassed. There were cases where the appearance changed during the second awakening, but it was rare for it to change so suddenly.
It wasn’t impossible. It is quite possible.
If the one in front of her was Kim Si-woo, the image of her two eyes burning bright blue in Dalian was clearly lingering in her mind.
“If! Did you have a second awakening?”
“Eww… Huh? I did”
“Paper… Can you show me?”
At that time, if what he saw was correct, he was equal to the man’s abilities.
Kim Tae-hwan, the hero who saved the Republic of Korea two years ago, and a man with the same abilities as the Hunter, the idol of all hunters, stood in front of his eyes.
Siwoo Kim stared into space for a moment and then nodded.
“Cha-seok-nim asks, but there’s nothing I can’t show you.”
When Kim Si-woo activated his anti-ma ability, Kim Si-woo’s eyes turned blue. The blue magic that Kim Si-woo had confirmed in Dalian burned like a flame at the fingertips of Kim Si-woo.
“Ah… Ah..”
Shining blue eyes highlighted Kim Si-woo’s appearance. Before he knew it, Lee Da-eun’s heart started beating faster and faster.
Lee Da-eun, who was watching the scene, said with her eyes shining. After confirming his ability, the man in front of him was Kim Si-woo, who had beaten Yoon Seo-ah.
“I really enjoyed that couple! It’s the first time I’ve seen Seo-ah so embarrassed!”
As the second-in-command at the academy, she had sparred with Yoon Seo-ah. The result of all sparring is her crushing defeat.
Ice that contains no impurities does not conduct electricity. The ice that Yoon Seo-ah created was pure ice without any stain, and her electric power was useless.
“The way you dodged the ice spear at that time was really cool!”
“Ah yes, thank you”
Even if she fought without using her lightning ability, it would be too hard to break through the ice fortress with the overwhelming difference in magical power and perfect attack and defense.
Others may say that Kim Si-woo won cowardly, but Lee Da-eun’s position was different.
From her point of view, she knew how high and solid Yoon Seo-ah was. Looking at Kim Si-woo, who won despite the overwhelming difference in strength, it was like seeing the main character in a fairy tale she read in her childhood.
‘Seo-ah isn’t a villain, but… Hi-Hi’
Although Yoon Seo-ah is not the villain in her fairy tale, she also seemed a bit like her villain in the eyes of Lee Da-eun, who was defeated by her every time.
Unbeknownst to her, she was holding Kim Si-woo’s hand.
“I..”
As she was about to open her mouth, Kang Min-ji’s shouts came from inside her infirmary.
“I really hate it, stop it!!!!”
“Ah..!”
Surprised, Lee Da-eun let go of her hand. Contrary to what I thought would end with time, Kang Min-ji exploded.
“That… Therefore”
“Our Iron Wall Queen is angry”
Kim Si-woo smiled as if he was used to it, asked Lee Da-eun for his understanding, and entered the infirmary. Lee Da-eun also immediately followed Kim Si-woo.
“Whoa.. Calm down”
When she entered the infirmary, Kang Joo-won, who was standing with a puzzled expression, and Kang Min-ji, who was glaring at Kang Ju-won with an angry expression, came in front of her.
Angrily, Kang Min-ji checked Si-woo Kim’s face and turned her head away.
“Minji, why are you so angry”
“No! I said I don’t like it, but I keep…”
Kim Si-woo stood in front of Kang Min-ji as if representing Kang Min-ji.
“Yes, yes, I’m sorry Minji got angry.”
Kang Min-ji glared at Kim Si-woo with a huff, and Kang Joo-won was making an absurd expression out of a surprised expression.
“What else are you?”
Kang Joo-won glared at Si-woo Kim with an angry expression, but Si-woo Kim was smiling.
Lee Da-eun said that she felt like an adult because she saw Kim Si-woo not angry and maintaining a soft smile.
“I’m in the same class, so it’s sad because I don’t know”
“Same class?”
“I’m Siwoo Kim”
“What?”
Kang Joo-won looked at Kim Si-woo with a genuinely surprised expression. She was a 180 degree different person from the Kim Si-woo he knew.
Kim Si-woo is Kang Min-ji’s partner, and the only man Kang Min-ji talks to is Kim Si-woo.
“I know because I’m Minji’s partner, but I’m not really angry, so don’t worry too much”
“Hey, are you really mad?”
“I’m sorry Minji”
“Hey Kim Siwoo!”
As the two jokingly talked, the atmosphere that had been on thin ice quickly dissipated. Kang Joo-won and Lee Da-eun just looked at them.
‘We also… Used to look like that in the past…’
Lee Da-eun felt the longing for her past, and Kang Joo-won stared at Kim Si-woo with jealous eyes for a very short time. And then she apologized.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to, but I want to apologize if I made you angry.”
Kang Min-ji still glared at Kang Joo-won, who apologized first, with a disapproving expression, but when Kim Si-woo touched him, he accepted the apology.
“I… I’m going”
Kang Min-ji got up from the bed he was sitting on, which was uncomfortable to stay in the infirmary.
“You have to be careful”
Kang Min-ji, who was staggering, was caught by Kim Si-woo.
Kang Min-ji was not injured thanks to the healer, but she was in a state of magical exhaustion and needed rest.
“What are you talking about. Chinta topic…”
“Upside down”
“… I can go alone.”
“Upside down”
Kang Min-ji was riding on Kim Si-woo’s back as if he couldn’t win, and Lee Da-eun just looked at him as if he was envious.
“Then have a good vacation~”
Kang Min-ji and Kim Si-woo left, leaving only Kang Joo-won and Lee Da-eun in the infirmary. Lee Da-eun looked at her lonely and took out the elixir she had brought with her.
Shortly after that, vacation came to the academy.
