Chapter 1069 – 1069. Magic School Shutra (7)
“It is rude beyond rude to stop someone twice. From then on, he told me to stay with him and watch how well he can do it.”
As soon as Ariel finished speaking, the horseman made a crying sound.
“Oh my… I should have sold it somewhere else a long time ago…”
When Ariel, who he thought was on his side, said something like that, the horse manager would be shocked.
If a problem arises and a rumor spreads, the reputation of the riding club will be damaged even if it is free from responsibility.
I ignored the horse manager’s cries and smiled at Ariel.
‘I didn’t expect you to react like that right away.’
The reason she expected Ariel to react like that was because she saw the temperament she had.
-[Fascinated by strong men]-
The ‘strong man’ expressed in temperament did not just mean a strong man.
In the field that Ariel recognizes, she means a man who is superior to her.
I thought that field would also include horse training.
And that judgment was correct.
“If my father had been by my side, he would have been very pleased.”
Ariel had her arms crossed and was looking at me with her curious eyes.
However, apart from her interesting eyes, she also showed concern.
“I’m looking forward to it, but I’m also worried.”
Ariel started to worry about me due to her status as student council president.
“As a woman, I shouldn’t stop her, but I think I should stop her as a senior…”
It was a moment when the values of reason and the values of human relationships were in conflict.
But Ariel, who was so worried, looked into my eyes…
“If you think it’s going to be hard, you can quit right away. Because no one will criticize your decision.”
He encouraged me by giving strength to the values of the opposite sex.
The reason she gave strength to the values of the opposite sex was probably because of the location.
This is not Shutra School, and we are on a date in name and name.
As a result, it seemed that my feelings as a woman were moved more strongly.
I looked at Ariel and nodded her head.
“Do not worry. Even though I’m like this, I’m good at handling words.”
“I like how confident you are. Still, don’t trust yourself too much. “If the royal stable trainer had seen that horse, he would have given up right away, right?”
The opponent is a white horse so ferocious that even horse lover Ariel sticks out her tongue.
The white horse was constantly making a fuss even while Ariel and I were talking.
Quang! Fuhiiing! Bang! Bang!
I chuckled looking at that white horse.
“I wonder if this will be enough in an hour… ?”
“Puh… Greatness… “You have tremendous confidence?”
My words were so absurd that even Ariel failed to control her expression for a moment and smiled.
But I answered seriously.
“I’m serious. To be honest, it was an hour too long.”
“… “I’m suddenly excited?”
Ariel’s smile disappeared, and her face began to be colored with anticipation.
Ariel, her anticipation rising to a certain extent, nodded her head and said.
“You must be brave like this, but you can’t stay still. If I tame that white horse… From now on, I will pay all expenses incurred when meeting you.”
It seemed like it was an extraordinary reward by Ariel’s standards, but it wasn’t something that really swayed her.
‘It’s not that I don’t have enough money…’
But I did not carelessly reveal my inner feelings.
“Really?”
“Of course. “She doesn’t want to be the girl who just watches from the sidelines?”
However, she only had expectations about Ariel and did not seem to think that she would succeed.
As proof, she started giving me more leeway.
“There is no need to tame it in just one day. The deadline is indefinite, or should I say, before that horse is sold… ? And you don’t have to be perfect. “If you ride that horse and take just one lap around the riding range, I’ll consider it a success.”
It was an unprecedented condition.
All you have to do is take one lap around the riding range before the horse is sold.
However, even though I heard such unconventional conditions, I answered with a somber expression.
“There is no need to put any conditions on the back. “I’ll make it quiet in an hour, and I’ll ride that guy all day.”
“Ohh… “Are you serious?”
Ariel smiled awkwardly, as if her pride was hurt by my reaction.
I laughed inside at seeing Ariel like that.
‘It’s a unique competitive spirit.’
I have seen many strong women.
And most of those women had a strong competitive spirit.
The source of competitive spirit is the desire to beat men.
Ariel also had a strong competitive spirit like those women, but her direction was completely different.
He had a competitive desire to properly evaluate a man’s abilities.
“Good. I’m so confident, but I can’t belittle it. And when men come out like that, I, as a woman, can’t just sit still.”
Ariel smiled brightly at me and said.
“If you can make that white horse calm and ride it within an hour like you said… “I will grant your wish.”
〈Blessed are those who persevere.〉
I was able to realize once again the greatness of those words.
The reward that Ariel offered now was a huge reward that was incomparable to the cost of her date that she mentioned earlier.
I resisted the desire to burst out laughing and asked back with a puzzled expression.
“Is this the wish I want?”
The reason I asked this question back wasn’t because I really couldn’t hear.
“Okay, I’ll listen to whatever you say. Anything.”
It was to get a clear promise from Ariel.
The Ariel I have met so far is not a woman who speaks twice.
If I can handle a white horse within an hour, I will do my best to keep that promise.
That is, if I make an absurd wish, Ariel will also reject it.
But I wasn’t worried about that at all.
Because I will never make a wish like that from Ariel.
I received her final confirmation from Ariel with a confident expression.
“You must keep your promise, Chairman?”
“Of course. “I promise to uphold her father’s honor.”
Since I know how much Ariel loves her father, I was able to clearly understand the sincerity of those words.
I take Ariel’s promise…
“Since the Chairman said so… I must succeed.”
He slowly began to approach the rampaging white horse.
***
Crash.
As the door opened, light flowed into the room that was covered in darkness.
Crash.
As the door closed again, the light disappeared, and the room was covered in darkness again.
Click.
However, with the sound of a switch being turned on, a strong light from the mana stone swallowed up the darkness.
The person who turned on the switch smiled droopingly as he looked at the brightened room.
“It’s finally home.”
The owner of the voice is Ariel.
She entered the brightly lit room with her staggering body, and immediately…
Slurp!
I threw my back on the bed and lay down limply.
“Hehe… Finally, it’s a bed.”
Ariel’s appearance was similar to that of an office worker exhausted by life who barely arrived home after working overtime and struggling on a crowded subway.
However, only her appearance was similar, and her face was far from that of an office worker tired of life.
Widespread smile.
It was a droopy smile, but it was full of joy.
After Ariel closed her eyes with such a happy smile, she began to think about today’s events.
She met Seong Su-ho, and she enjoyed a light breakfast while listening to his interesting stories.
Even with that alone, Ariel thought it was a satisfying day.
Seongsu-ho’s story was so interesting that it reached Ariel’s ears and made her shoulders shake.
But the real thing was next.
The first place that Seong Su-ho guided us to was a horse riding range.
Seong Su-ho and I entered the horseback riding club and found a wild white horse, and Seong Su-ho enthusiastically decided to ride the white horse.
Seong Soo-ho’s actions may have seemed like a traitor to others, but they didn’t seem that way to Ariel.
In fact, the sight of him coming to the front even though he was embarrassed made Ariel’s heart beat.
And Ariel thought it would be all it took to make his heart beat a little.
I expected that my heart would race when I saw Seong Su-ho step forward, and that my heart would cool again after helping him when he was in danger.
But her heart…
Haha… “When I’m with that kid, nothing goes as expected.”
Seong Su-ho’s unpredictable behavior actually increased the heart rate.
However, apart from the racing heart, there was definitely something strange about it.
“Are different countries’ horse training methods different? ?”
In Ariel’s opinion, the first step in the horse training process was the exchange of hearts.
The trainer must make the horse he sees for the first time realize that he is not hostile.
She should not take it lightly as it is the first course.
Rather, that process is the longest, most difficult, and most important process in training a horse.
But Seong Su-ho…
“I never thought I would ride a horse without a saddle or footrest like that…”
As if to prove that such a training process was useless, he rode on the back of a white horse without even exchanging glances.
“Without that and without magic…”
Seong Su-ho didn’t even use magic.
He ran forward using only his physical strength, grabbed the white horse by its neck, and jumped on its back.
At the same time that Ariel thought of Seong Su-ho’s spectacular horseback riding scene, she also remembered the image of her father.
“… “Your father is cool too.”
By Ariel’s standards, the only person who rode a horse the most stylishly so far was her father.
The father puts his feet on the footrest and mounts the horse in one go.
A father looking down at himself from a horse with the sun on his back.
That scene was one of the best scenes that could not be erased from Ariel’s mind for the rest of her life.
But as soon as I saw Seong Su-ho’s horseback riding scene…
“… Even my father has never climbed so coolly.”
That scene actually became the subject of comparison.
If his father’s horseback riding scene was of children fighting with wooden sticks, Seong Su-ho’s horseback riding scene was like a knight wielding a silver sword.
Just like that, Ariel watched in fascination at Seong Su-ho’s splendid horseback riding scene.
But the truly shocking incident happened next.
As soon as Seongsu-ho got on, the white horse rolled over his eyes and went on a rampage, eventually breaking the wooden door of the stable and running away.
Ariel, who had been watching in fascination, was even more shocked when the white horse jumped out and was unable to do anything.
While Ariel was in a daze, the white horse that Seong Su-ho was riding galloped away into the distance.
Ariel and the horse manager belatedly came to their senses and chased after the white horse on which Seong Su-ho rode.
The horse manager begged to prevent the accident because it was okay to kill the horse, and Ariel prepared to use magic as requested.
Ariel, who came out of the stable, immediately started drawing a magic circle as soon as she arrived at the grassy field where Seong Su-ho’s white horse was running around like crazy.
But before she could draw the magic circle, the white horse became calm, and Seong Su-ho, who was sitting on the white horse, slowly approached the two…
.
.
“You’re not trying to use magic on me just because you lost a bet, are you?”
Seong Su-ho stroking the back of his neck on a calm white horse.
Ariel stuttered with a surprised expression upon seeing him.
“S-No way… ?”
Seong Su-ho nodded his head and answered with a smile of conversion.
“Yes, it is my victory.”
Purr!
Baekma, who was in a good mood thanks to Seong Su-ho’s touch, was expressing his happy feelings with a refreshing tour.
In that way, the white horse was tamed by Seong Su-ho in just three minutes.
.
.
Ariel recalled the image of Seongsu-ho looking down at her from her white horse.
“It was cool… Ah!”
Ariel said it without realizing it, but for a moment she thought what she was saying and tapped her lips with a surprised expression.
“What can I say…” .”
The good news was that there was no one around.
And what’s even more fortunate is…
“… “You probably didn’t hear it then, right?”
It was true that Ariel had muttered those words while looking at Seongsu-ho riding on a white horse.
“You probably didn’t hear it.”
Ariel, who decided that something was wrong in his head as he secretly hoped to hear it, came to his senses, laid down on the bed, and turned his head to the side.
She smiled as she looked out her darkened window.
“It’s been a long time since I had fun.”
Seong Su-ho, who succeeded in taming a white horse, enjoyed horseback riding all day with Ariel.
I was so happy that I even forgot about lunch and dinner and rode the horse.
Only after the sun set did the two realize that it was almost time to go out, so they hurriedly returned to school.
And it was Ariel who entered the front door first.
When we went in together, it was Seong Su-ho’s consideration as he thought that Ariel would be harmed by unnecessary rumors.
If it had been Ariel’s original personality, she would have let him in first, even if it meant scolding Seong Su-ho.
But Ariel, who heard Seong Su-ho’s words…
“What can I say… “It was a similar feeling to when I received orders from my father.”
As if it were natural, I followed his words and entered the main gate.
It looks like the order has been reversed.
The two people looked as if their relationship had been reversed through a wish.
However, the relationship between the two had nothing to do with Sowon.
The wish that Ariel promised.
Seong Su-ho made that wish…
“Heh… He’s a fascinating guy.”
I blew it away by riding on a white horse with Ariel.
In this way, Ariel spent time riding a white horse together as if she were being held in the arms of Seongsuho.
Ariel, who thought it was a very insignificant wish, rode a horse as if she was being held in the arms of Seongsuho and said that she would grant him one more wish.
.
.
“I have no intention of just granting this favor and saying that my wish was granted. “If there’s anything you want to ask for later, please let me know.”
It was sincere.
And what I said earlier was only half sincere.
When Seong Su-ho approached the white horse curiously, he was only half sincere, but when he rode on the white horse, he became truly sincere.
Ariel’s reward was like a blank check.
A person who receives a blank check can write anything.
However, for a blank check to be effective, the signature of the person presenting the blank check is required.
If you write an absurd amount on a blank check… ?
The person who gave the blank check refuses to sign it and cancels the transaction.
That’s right.
A blank check is a token of loyalty that requires the recipient to consider the feelings of the giver.
Ariel accepted a blank check without a signature…
“I will grant any wish that does not harm my family.”
He wrote his signature and handed the real blank check back to Seong Su-ho.
However, Seong Su-ho smiled softly as if he was handing Ariel’s blank check back.
“Are you okay. For me, the current situation is like a wish come true.”
