Chapter 20 – 8. Reaction
One.
“It seems like a lot of kids who really want to teach directly are enrolled this year.”
Lina Christine, principal of Orhi Academy, looked back with satisfaction at the new cadets who were struggling hard against monsters in a fantasy world I had created.
Even if most of the cadets were frozen and unable to move at the sight of the monsters that suddenly appeared, or were busy running away.
Even though it was the first time they encountered a dangerous mountain situation, there were movements that seemed to protect people or prevent monsters from approaching the crowd.
That was what she really wanted to find in her cadets.
“I think even average skills are quite good, but…”
Behind her, since she took office at Orhi Academy, no. Even before that, there was a man who always followed her like a shadow and helped her with her work.
Now, he is active as the vice principal of Orhi Academy both internally and externally, and assists her as her principal.
Lina asked without taking her eyes off the academy’s cadets.
“Yes. By the way, how is the reaction of public opinion?”
“Generally, the opinion that they understand the academy’s educational policy is dominant…”
“Is there any opinion that it’s too radical?”
“…Wasn’t it impossible to please everyone from the beginning?”
Yes it is
It seemed that no matter how much effort they put into making a plan after careful deliberation, it would not come out to satisfy everyone.
Even more so, there were also cadets who suffered serious injuries that would not be strange to lead to death if it was originally that it was inevitable to be criticized for being radical.
It was because there were quite a few people who showed embarrassing shame to show others more than their achievements were shining.
Maybe making students who are about to enter the academy look like that is enough to get a reputation for being cruel?
“But because there are such people, those who show the opposite side are valuable—” She is.
“Haa…♡ If it doesn’t get in the way of what we’re doing, whatever they say, let it be. In the first place, we had no intention of persuading even those who couldn’t understand our method.”
‘He’s there again.’
He stepped back, a little disgusted at the sight of her engrossed in the cadets caught up in his fantasy magic next to her.
What can I say?
It’s like she’s the kind of expression a teenage girl would make when she faces her idol brother, whom she’s been fanning hard about.
While her cheeks were dyed red, she was gently hugging her cheeks and looking excitedly as if she was looking at something lovable while looking at the students——
She worked with her for a long time, and she had a look that he couldn’t get used to.
And also, that was also the look that made me think, “Wouldn’t she be suitable to sit in the principal’s seat in accordance with the original purpose of her academy, or rather, to raise her heroes?”
“It’s a really, really cool sight…♡”
In short, she is a lover of heroic strides and heroic struggles.
She truly loved the process and sight of a person growing into a hero.
In a society of superhumans, where mutual interests have already become entangled and tainted, how many people like her genuinely, earnestly, “I want to nurture a hero”?
Of course, in her case, it wasn’t because of her pure purpose, but rather because of her personal desire that was close to pure, but “Isn’t that why she’s more reliable—” The man thought.
Still, desire is desire anyway, so it wasn’t once or twice when it went crazy, but it was the role given to it to induce it in a good direction.
She, who had lived her life wandering the streets without a clear goal, was the first person she longed for and fell in love with.
‘And this time, the one she particularly liked was that guy…’
From one side, the man looked at a blonde, tanned man with a child in his arms, confronting two minotaurs.
Just looking at his appearance, he wasn’t the kind of hero that people usually dream of.
Rather than being a hero, he could be seen as more like a third-rate bully advancing on the streets.
You shouldn’t judge people only by their appearance, but it’s the appearance that subconsciously makes you have that kind of notion.
However, contrary to the appearance, the move was the most conspicuous.
When a terrible disaster was predicted, he was the first to intervene and save the child.
Not only
Surprisingly, he defeated the Minotaur with just one shot.
Looking at his skills right now, he is presumed to be the best among his peers.
‘Of course, that alone is not enough to please her, but there is…’
No matter how much the media did not cover it because the association was extremely silent.
From the debut of a superhuman society where I risked my life to protect a woman my age in an incident called “Missing No Gate” That happened not long ago all over the world, even at the < Near the academy>, It is unusual. The heroic story of a prospective cadet at the academy reached her ears.
Moreover, it was wonderful that he persevered despite the child’s disrespect.
‘Yes, when you rescue people, you see all sorts of dirty things.’
If you react to something like that, you won’t be able to do that.
Anyway, it was understandable that she was interested in him that much.
The unreasonable suspicion of “Wasn’t this half-sudden, unannounced test because I wanted to see the person in person—”, At first glance, to the point of making me think, “Isn’t it the truth, not suspicion?”
‘Still, I think I heard that he almost died at that time, but did he grow to that extent in the meantime…’
If that’s the case, can you really say that she’s a role model for a hero she’ll fall in love with…?
Right then.
An unexpected sound in my ears——
“The conspiracy oh oh oh oh oh oh —-!”
It was the sound of the black Minotaur suddenly intruding into the endless battlefield.
“Hehe, hehe…♡”
When I look at her, startled by the sound of her slightly insane laugh, when I look at her guy with her loose eyes, she let out her stupid laugh…
‘Oops, did I lose my temper already?!’
I grab her by the shoulder right away.
“Wait, sister. I know you’re excited, but calm down…!”
As the black Minotaur invaded the battlefield, which was barely balanced, the scene became a mess again.
At least, the balance that was maintained as a single magician is slowly breaking down…
‘I think it’s already far from the original purpose?’
The difficulty level of the test should be appropriate, and it is a test, and if students are given test papers that are not suitable for their level, it can only be seen as bullying.
Not to mention this placement test, no. It was like that originally, but wasn’t it an event prepared unilaterally without any communication with the high-ranking people?
Even so, it has been out of their sight for a long time.
If he proceeds further than this without permission and receives reprimands from the public, there will surely be setbacks in his future plans.
“Sister, stop now. You should have done this much.”
“Eh? But…”
“But let’s go to sleep. Is today the only day? What if public opinion gets worse? What else do you have to gain besides the elders’ interference with public opinion on their backs?”
“Um…”
Fortunately, she was the one who grumbled that she hadn’t lost her reason enough that my persuasion wouldn’t work, and ended her fantasy magic.
Still, it seems that I haven’t let go of the string of reason to the extent that my words can’t communicate.
Seeing her like that, her man let out a sigh of relief.
Looking at the young man with the appearance of a blonde tanned archangel who reached the black Minotaur before anyone else,
『You should be able to see an interesting scene soon——』
While licking her lips, she didn’t know how to hide her regret. She touched her hands and awakened the students who were trapped in their fantasy.
“Now, here we go.”
The placement test of the first semester, which almost got me in trouble, ended safely.
2.
“Sister, sister. Isn’t that him?”
“…”
The placement test that suddenly started without any notice was on the top floor of the auditorium.
Yu Eun-seo, her twin sister, said to Yoo Eun-bi, who was watching the game with interest in the VIP seats where guild officials gathered.
She seemed to know who she was talking about without having to ask.
That’s right, the person who is getting more attention than anyone else here has an unexpectedly familiar appearance to us.
Until we arrived at the scene where the tragedy of that day, which was called Missing No Gate, took place, a man who was fighting with all his might against a Minotaur with a girl his age behind him–
“…Does it seem right?”
“…I see. Why is he here?”
“Um, are you a freshman who will be entering the academy this time?”
The obvious answer came back that I already knew, and there was no need to ask.
Anyway, the only ones fighting over there were the freshmen who entered this year.
Therefore, he must have been a freshman who just entered the academy this time.
Unlike then, Eunbi Yoo said, without even trying to hide her excitement, seeing him defeat the Minotaur at once.
“Eunseo. Quickly find a way to contact him. If you do well, we can help you with something first.”
“Well, that shouldn’t be difficult, sister.”
“Huh?”
“No matter how we contact him, will he really be interested in our guild?”
Her doubts before she complied with her sister were legitimate.
The fledgling guild 《Bihon》, which they founded a few years ago, was ranked 89th out of over 150 guilds in Korea and was still a second-class guild with no real recognition whatsoever.
Of course, unless he was a descendant of a famous guild or family, he should have been happy at the point of contacting the guild, but now he…
Eunbi Yoo glanced at the people behind her.
Because of the expectation of a considerable pandemonium in which fairly large guilds would surely intervene, his scouts were looking closely at the other side, as if they had given up immediately.
For example, there was a wizard over there who could carry several battlegrounds alone…
However, most of them, with their eyes open, were busy exchanging opinions with the secretaries who came with them, looking in the direction of the young man.
“He is…”
“As an orphan…”
“My name is Taeyang Kim…”
“…At the time of the hunter qualification verification, a fairly high potential was verified…”
“Perhaps in order to scout with our guild…”
Seeing this, Eunbi Yoo crumpled her face.
The academy will just run the profile of the student as usual and introduce a brief personal information. Why did he suddenly do something he didn’t want to do and raise his value so much?
If I had known that he was a student at an academy with a promising future, rather than a clumsy Awakener who gets kicked on the floor, I would have contacted him first.
To be honest, I thought I was at least in my mid-20s, or at most, I was in the late 20s.
‘No, it really looks like that at first glance!!’
What kind of academy freshman is so skinny… No, old? Mature?!
‘Even in such a short period of time, such a growth rate…’
He was a talent not to be missed——!
Open your eyes and cut your nose
In front of my eyes, the very delicious-looking talent I found first was left unsalted, and then it ended up being taken away entirely by others.
“This, because it’s also a lifesaver for now. Let’s take a leisurely drink of tea and talk at least once…”
“Now? Isn’t that too deceitful?”
Well, if it really was a simple interest, pure purpose without any selflessness, there would be no way I would have said this two weeks after the incident.
Unless the opponent is an idiot, there’s no way they don’t know what the purpose is.
Eunseo Yoo sighed and said to her sister, who was silent in her own words.
“…”
“Haa, well… First of all, since the guild leader is the older sister, I’m going to try it… But instead, the older sister made the suggestion?
Saying that, with a determined expression, she drew a line saying “I can’t”.
Anyway, even at the moment when mutual cooperation is crucial, Yoo Eun-bi could only gnaw her teeth at her nasty little sister who was trying to get rid of her at all costs.
