Chapter 1181 – 1181. Hero Military Academy (7)
Yeriel greets me with a cute hand.
“Welcome.”
And seeing Yeriel like that, I greeted him with a smile.
“Hello, Yeriel.”
As I was greeted, I suddenly heard a familiar voice.
(Huh? Was the person who called you earlier your brother?)
Siho, who was looking around the principal’s office, flew towards me with his tail gently wagging.
(The person who asked me to call you earlier was my brother. I didn’t know because he didn’t call me by name.)
“…”
After hearing Siho’s words, I began to feel black inside.
‘Couldn’t it be like a trap dug to catch me?’
For reference, I was currently confident that I could easily pass the advanced hero exam.
No, if you have good compatibility, you will be able to easily escape even if you are surrounded by fifteen high-level heroes.
The problem is that the two people in this room are on a different level from those high-level heroes.
Yeriel, the owner of the tower, and Oh Jin-ho, the principal of the Hero Academy.
The two were top-level heroes who were known to be able to fight dozens of high-level heroes on their own.
Running away from those two people?
‘What would happen if only Yeriel was there…? .’
It would somehow be possible to escape from Yeriel, who is full of magical talent.
No, if you summon Cho Yeon-ho, it will be possible to fight and win.
The huge problem is…
‘I’m the principal…’
If the principal joins in, he will definitely be caught.
Additionally, this is the center of the consulate.
In this place where many cadets and current heroes dream of becoming heroes, they escape from Yeriel and the principal?
‘… Wouldn’t it be better to be caught quietly?’
If I rebel for no reason, I might end up losing a hand or a foot…
When I lamented over the phone, Armonia responded in her usual emotionless voice.
[I don’t think Yeriel would have done that. But… I think you need to be careful.]
‘…’
Seeing Armonia say that, she could tell that the situation wasn’t all that good.
As I stood there blankly, burning inside…
“Why are you doing this? Come and sit down.”
Yeriel started giggling and gesturing.
Yeri El usually had a gentle and gentle smile, but this time she was giggling like a real child.
When I saw Yeriel like that, my long-standing speculations turned into certainty.
‘I’m sure I got caught.’
Yeriel discovered my identity.
Otherwise, there is no way Yeriel would laugh like that.
I nodded, keeping my expression as calm as possible.
“Yes, I understand.”
I sat on the sofa across from Yeriel.
As soon as I sat down on the sofa, Shiho hugged me in a spirit state and started talking gibberish.
(Well, as soon as that woman came, I said, ‘Please call that assistant instructor.’ She had no idea it was her brother.)
“…”
I had no intention of blaming her.
But now I was in a situation where I couldn’t give Shiho any answer.
Of course, I was curious about Yeriel and the principal’s reaction to seeing me suddenly talking to myself like a crazy person…
Shiho, who was talking gibberish like that…
(Ah! I’ll search the surrounding area first. Just in case, my brother can escape…)
He quickly flew out of the principal’s office.
So, in the principal’s office, me and Yeriel were sitting across from each other…
“Ohh… It seems you really like this friend. Yeriel smiles like that…”
There were three left, including the principal sitting at the head of the table.
After hearing the principal’s words, Yeri El cleared her throat and cleared her throat…
“He’s the one who saved the magic cadets during the last field trip.”
He spoke with his usual dignified voice again.
The principal, seeing Yeriel like that, laughed cheerfully.
Haha, well, I heard that instructor Seong Su-ho’s performance at that time was great. Still, I never thought Yeriel would like it this much… “
“Hmm… “Wow!”
Yeriel repeatedly cleared his throat uncharacteristically and attempted to stop the principal from speaking.
‘… It looks like I didn’t call you to catch you.’
Looking at the atmosphere, it didn’t seem like a trap dug to catch me.
I was relieved by the conversation between the two and looked at Yeriel.
“Yeriel, I am so sorry. When you first met me, you didn’t even say hello, right? How disappointed I was at that time…”
“That… It was during a battle at that time. Let’s talk about that later…”
Yeri El must have thought that she would only lose herself if her speech continued longer, so she avoided the principal’s gaze and opened her mouth while looking at me.
“Let me explain why I suddenly called you.”
Yeri El took on a solemn mood as usual and revealed the real reason she had called me.
“Have you thought about the suggestion I made last time?”
“A suggestion?”
“I guess you didn’t like it. “I immediately saw that I had forgotten.”
I smiled bitterly at Yeri El’s words and closed her mouth, and Yeri El smiled again at me and continued her words.
“Are you not planning on joining TOP officially?”
“Ah…”
It was only then that I was able to recall her suggestion that Yeri El had mentioned.
‘That’s right, I said it before.’
During the Everyka terrorist attack, Seongsua and I actively rescued people and fought against the terrorists.
And at that time, she received an offer from Yeriel to join the tower in recognition of her skills.
The tower is a dream-like place not only for assistant instructors like me, but also for cadets who officially graduate from the consulate.
It wasn’t even at the level of just receiving extra points.
This meant that I would pass if I just had to have Yeri L carry the parachute to me and pull the parachute strap on her arm.
The moment she refuses, she will be treated like a crazy person.
But I…
‘… Should I still refuse?’
I had no choice but to come up with an answer based on the premise of refusal.
The reason I wanted to reject Yeriel’s offer was simple.
‘If I join and my identity is discovered…’
Not only will my situation be in trouble, but Yeriel, who joined me, will be in trouble.
No, in the worst case, it will cause a fatal problem for the tower itself.
If they announce me as a monster follower and announce to the media that TOP and a monster group have joined hands…
‘It will be shaken before it even fights with the church.’
My goal now is to become a super strong member of the church.
And in order to fight against such a religious order, the tower’s strong position was important.
And for the tower’s solid position…
“I’m sorry, I guess I’ll have to decline.”
I concluded that there should be no connection between me and the tower.
“Hmm…”
Yeri El, who heard what I said, had a calm expression as if she had expected it…
“No, Instructor Seong Su-ho. What do you mean by that now!?”
The principal standing between me and Yeriel let out a loud voice and jumped up.
The principal stood up suddenly, placed his heavy shoulder on me, and spoke in an urgent voice.
“As the principal who manages the consulate, I shouldn’t say this, but I will say what I have to say. Instructor Seong Su-ho, this is an opportunity.”
As the principal said, Yeriel’s proposal is the opportunity every hero dreams of… No, go further…
“If Yeriel had suggested something like that in the past, I would have rushed to it right away. Oh, of course, unlike instructor Seong Su-ho, Yeriel didn’t want someone as big as me, so that didn’t happen…”
“Hmm… !”
“Haha… Anyway…”
The principal began to persuade me again, avoiding Yeriel’s pouting gaze.
“If you are worried about your future as an assistant instructor, submit your resignation right now and leave. “I will handle all remaining issues.”
“Uh, that’s…”
I couldn’t help but be dumbfounded by the principal’s words.
I didn’t expect the principal to try so hard to persuade me.
If I were someone who lived here, I would have been moved to hear the principal’s consideration…
‘No, I shouldn’t go there, you old man…’ .’
The problem is that if I go to the tower, I will be in trouble.
“It’s an important issue, so think about it some more…” .”
“What is there to think about? It’s the top, the top! If you are Instructor Seong Su-ho, who has worked at the consulate, wouldn’t you know better how great the tower is?”
“That is… For the future of the cadets I am in charge of…”
“Don’t worry about the cadets in charge. “The cadets will understand when they hear this story.”
The principal did not back down as if it was his job and urged him to accept Yeriel’s suggestion.
I carefully looked away, feeling extremely embarrassed.
The principal pushes me and I get tired of that encouragement.
And looking at me and the principal…
“Pooh…”
Yeri El, covering her mouth and suppressing laughter, caught my eye.
Only then did I realize.
The reason Yeriel dragged me into this situation was…
(I’ll put that one in debt for now. But… What’s going on here?)
She said it was to repay a debt she had owed…
‘As expected, he acts like a child.’
[…]
The moment I cursed Yeriel so much…
“Puchwi!”
Yeriel let out a small sneeze, shaking her body loudly.
After hearing Yeri El sneeze, the principal turned her gaze from me to Yeri El and asked.
“Are you okay?”
“Gwae, it’s okay. Is it a cold these days? “I keep coughing.”
Yeriel sniffles while saying that.
I pulled out her tissue and handed it to Yeriel…
“Wipe it.”
He gave a bitter smile.
“Wipe it… ?”
When Yeriel saw the tissues and my smile, he tilted his head for a moment…
“!?”
Yeriel, who understood the meaning of the tissue I held out and my laughter, quickly snatched the tissue I held out and covered his nose.
Then she turned her head and muttered in her mouth.
“… Thank you.”
She clearly said thank you, but…
‘You have a nice expression.’
Her eyes did not contain any gratitude.
Yeriel glares indignantly.
Of course, Yeri El’s glare was fortunately not reflected in her principal’s eyes.
Yeri El wiped her nose with her tissue and spoke to her principal.
“Can I talk to instructor Seong Su-ho separately?”
“Sure. Perhaps I should make room for you?”
“Oh, you don’t have to do that. I just want to talk quietly…”
Yeri El concluded her sentence by glaring at me.
“Let me borrow a VR capsule. “I was thinking of having a quiet conversation there.”
.
.
The reason why she wanted to use the VR capsule was simple.
This was because the VR capsule boasted excellent security that even her church could not infiltrate.
And Yeriel, who brought me to that VR capsule.
“Now, let’s talk properly.”
“Yes…”
When she entered the VR world, Yeri El transformed into a different person.
She was not the little girl sitting quietly in the principal’s office, but an adult woman sitting elegantly with her legs crossed in her chair…
‘It’s pretty, gorgeous.’
If I had seen that side of her first instead of her little one, I would have tried to seduce Yeri El a long time ago.
But…
‘Wow… It won’t work either. Every time I look at it, I remember the image from before.’
[…]
Yeri L. Raised her head and glared at me the whole time heading to her VR capsule due to the nasal tissue incident.
As the image of that little Yeriel kept coming to mind, she lost any rational feelings.
Let’s look at her like that, thinking about her Yeriel…
“… “Looking at me like that makes me angry.”
She began to grumble, carefully covering her nose.
He didn’t look like he was still angry at my ridicule when he handed me the tissues.
‘He was joking too…’
I smiled bitterly at Yeriel’s behavior and apologized.
“Oh, sorry. You suddenly called me here, and I didn’t know what to say…”
“The words that come out of my mouth are like flowing water.”
Yeri El crossed her legs and gently extended her upper body toward me as she spoke.
“When he spoke with the cape on, he was freezing and hard.”
“… “Since when did you know?”
She decided to leave anyway because she got caught.
When I asked outright, Yeriel answered, leaning back against her back with her elegant smile.
“She knew when we went into the desert together.”
The desert seemed to mean [The eye of Horus].
Yeriel and I were trapped in the desert within the [Eye of Horus] And were together for a day.
But Yeriel’s answer only amplified my doubts.
She said, “I was very careful… Maybe the cloak will turn over…”
At that time, I thoroughly hid my identity, and if my cloak had accidentally come off, Armonia would have found out long ago.
But Yeriel just smiled and held out her hand to me without answering.
It’s like holding hands.
I judged that progress would not progress unless I held out my hand, so I had no choice but to carefully place my hand on Yeriel’s hand.
When I placed her hand on Yeriel’s palm, she responded by gently squeezing my hand.
“A strange energy flowing from your hands. “How could you not know that it’s advertised as you?”
