22 – That was it (3)

Yoo Hee-won, who took a few pictures, was busy posting them somewhere.

Maybe you want to post it on your social media…

It wasn’t a particularly problematic photo, but I still didn’t like the fact that my face was exposed somewhere.

As usual, there were people who recognized me when a video of me at the entrance ceremony was circulating on the Internet the other day.

Due to my personality, I hate receiving unnecessary attention like that.

Maybe that’s why I couldn’t rise to a high level during my active career.

A hero is like a celebrity who lives off the public’s attention.

The steamed egg came out and was about to eat it, but Yoo Hee-won first took up a spoon.

I sighed as I watched Yoo Hee-won swell with a large spoonful of steamed egg.

Didn’t they teach you table etiquette in a noble family that’s eating makchang for the first time?

If that’s not the case, it might just be because Yoo Hee-won isn’t cheap.

“Anyways…”

I opened my mouth to finish what I was going to say because of Yoo Hee-won.

“There were a few things that happened along the way, but now that we’re on the same boat, let’s get along well until graduation. After graduation, of course.”

“Okay, Professor.”

Han Min-ha, who was chewing on the fire-makchang, covered his mouth with his hand and nodded politely.

“yes.”

Yu Hee-won answered roughly as she tapped her phone with both hands.

“Okay. If you have any difficulties during your academy life, talk to me anytime. I will do my best to help within the scope of my ability.”

“Thank you professor.” “OK.”

Gee…

* * * * *

He stopped Yoo Hee-won from going to karaoke and was able to get into the car.

Han Min-ha, who was restless at the word karaoke, finally seemed relieved when she was able to return to the academy.

He seems to hate that kind of atmosphere.

that’s like me

“I don’t even go to cafes… It’s no fun.”

way back to the academy.

Yoo Hee-won, who was sitting in the back seat, grumbled.

Looking at the clock, it was a little less than nine o’clock when the front door was closed.

Since dinner had started late, it was a tight time to go to the cafe.

To be honest, I also wanted to refresh my mouth with something like iced americano.

“Professor… if you don’t mind… there’s a drive-thru on the way, would you like to go there?”

Han Min-ha, who was sitting in the assistant seat, noticed and spoke quietly.

“Is there such a place?”

“I’ll let you know.”

Then Yoo Hee-won kicked the front seat with her foot.

“You know the way here?”

“Uh… I looked it up before coming out…”

“Oh, that’s quite right? Why don’t you try studying like that?”

“Heewon student.

“Yes, professor. Oh, well done. Our Min-ha.”

That’s really… terribly mean language.

I was able to drive to the cafe as Han Min-ha told me.

We each ordered a cup of coffee and returned to the academy.

* * * * *

There is nothing between the city of Grafford and the academy.

This is because the academy is a military reservation, so the surrounding area is set as an uninhabited area.

It is completely dark around the only four-lane road leading to the academy.

If you look farther away, you can see the silhouettes of rugged mountain ranges looming under a deep navy blue sky.

And the low flickering lights below the mountain range.

Grafford Academy.

Under the waves of streetlights passing by at regular intervals, I was watching the night view of the academy in the distance without a word of regret.

His expression looked quite depressed.

what are you thinking

Looking in the rearview mirror, Yoo Hee-won was busy with her cell phone.

“why?”

Yoo Hee-won, feeling my gaze, raised her eyes.

“it’s nothing.”

Soon we arrived at the main gate of the academy.

After being identified by the guard at the front gate, we moved to the dormitory.

I stopped the car in front of the dormitory and was about to get out when I heard footsteps from the other side.

Han Min-ha’s management assistant, Bae Ye-bin, walked quickly and bowed.

“Good work, professor.”

“Sorry for the late hour.”

“It’s okay. I’m just grateful that you take care of Minha like this.”

I said, looking at the instructors who got out of the car.

“Everyone get some rest and see you next time.”

“When will we meet again?”

“I’ll let you know about that separately in the group room.”

As I got back into the car, assistant teacher Bae and Min-ha Han bowed their heads.

Yoo Hee-won stood with her arms crossed, and as soon as I backed up, she turned around and went into the dormitory.

* * * * *

The beginning of ‘Golden Viper and the Gray Molds’ was smooth in its own way.

The expected conflict did not occur at all, and Yoo Hee-won did not seem to care much about Han Min-ha.

However, he did not hesitate to show extreme hatred towards Han Min-ha’s intimidated attitude and gestures.

“What’s wrong with you?”

While gathering in the lab to grade assignments prescribed by the Bureau, Yoo Hee-won suddenly became annoyed with Han Min-ha.

“What… what…?”

“Why are you always shrugging your shoulders like that? Are you possessed by a ghost? Why are you so gloomy?”

“Ah… was it?”

Han Min-ha scratched her head, and Yoo Hee-won sighed heavily, probably feeling frustrated at the sight.

“Oh, that’s really… Wow… Why does it look so stupid? Did everything go to the heart and not to the head?”

“Student Heewon. It’s not right to scorn classmates like that. And, here. The scoring is over, so let’s watch it together.”

Scored answer sheets were distributed to each participant.

Yoo Hee-won, needless to say, was a perfect score.

Han Min-ha’s answer sheet was surprisingly not too bad.

There were some mistakes, but I thought it would be good to expect a good score.

You seem to be doing well in theory subjects other than using your body.

As a professor of basic defense science, the reason why I look at the assignments of the ‘International Conventions and Current Laws of the Agency’ is because there is a paper test for the subject this week.

Originally, advisors shouldn’t provide guidance in the assessment of other subjects in this way, but that’s just a rule.

Being an advisor student is a plus to the advisor’s career and evaluation.

When other professors added it, it was more, not less.

I don’t know, but there will be professors who teach at the level of illegal tutoring.

Of course I’m not interested in that at all.

I only hope that Han Min-ha does not remain in last place and rises to the top of the class.

“Then I’ll explain. I’ll proceed according to student Minha. Student Heewon, I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. Can I use the phone?”

“Um… yes.”

Anyway, Yu Hee-won is the chief, so let’s leave it alone.

Yoo Hee-won immediately took out her cell phone and started tapping something with both thumbs at a tremendous speed.

With a gold spoon, a pretty face, and good grades, there must be tons of things to do on social media and messenger.

I moved the chair slightly towards Han Min-ha and slowly solved the wrong problems.

Han Min-ha diligently wrote down my solution in a notebook prepared separately.

It was after work hours, so he was wearing his personal clothes, but what Han Min-ha was wearing was an old gray sweatpants.

As I was teaching up close, Minha Han’s clothes smelled like an old dresser.

It was like that the other day when I went to the dormitory because I was dropping out… Don’t you use fabric softener?

It wasn’t unpleasant, it was just strange that it didn’t smell like the common cosmetics used by girls of this age.

“What? How can this be wrong?”

Yoo Hee-won, who had come up behind us before we knew it, snorted at Han Min-ha’s answer sheet and snorted.

“Is it really a pain? Didn’t the professor tell you in advance that you’re doing this today? Then shouldn’t you prepare for the lesson?”

“Student Heewon, don’t press your shoulders too hard. It hurts.”

I felt tremendous strength in Yoo Hee-won’s hand on my shoulder, probably because I was a candidate for a hero.

Although I am also a former hero, I am weak now.

It hurt quite a bit to see Yoo Hee-won, who had a natural talent, put such weight on her.

“Heewon… I’m a bit sick…”

“Please study. So, are you going to graduate?”

Yoo Hee-won, who took her hand off Han Min-ha and me’s shoulder, straightened her upper body and made a sarcastic remark.

“And I’m sorry, don’t you wash your clothes?”

“No…? Did you run this in the washing machine?”

“Did you use fabric softener or not?”

“ah…”

Heewon Yoo shook her head at Minha Han’s short exclamation.

“Really, you… Put fabric softener next time, okay?”

“Yes…”

“Didn’t your mother do that at home?”

Oh dear.

I once crossed the line, but now I’ve crossed it.

Han Min-ha’s parents went missing when they were active heroes, so it is unclear whether they are alive or dead.

The administration did not give Han Min-ha a definite answer as to whether or not her parents were still alive, but provided survivors’ pension and arranged for her to enter the academy.

If the horse is missing and the survivors’ pension comes out, it’s more correct to assume that he’s already dead.

Now, Yoo Hee-won made a fatal mistake to Han Min-ha.

Of course, Yoo Hee-won didn’t do it on purpose, knowing the circumstances.

As Han Min-ha’s face darkened rapidly, Yoo Hee-won noticed something strange and glanced at me.

‘Why is he like this?’

I was thinking about what to explain, but Han Min-ha opened her mouth first.

“Sorry… my parents aren’t here…”

“uh…?”

Yoo Hee-won’s pupils shook like an earthquake.
