The Villain Professor of Heroes

55 – Summer vacation (3)

Smoking area outside the research building.

“Fuck.”

I was a little surprised by the curse that flowed from Professor Yoo Hyun-joo’s mouth, even though I put a mental barrier on it.

Professor Yoo Hyeon-joo, who took out a cigarette and opened it, cursed once again with an unclear pronunciation.

“Heebal.”

Professor Yoo Hyun-joo, who rummaged through his pocket and pulled out a lighter, glanced at me and stuffed it back into his pocket.

“It’s good, Professor. Because there are two of us.”

A week’s short vacation.

And home visits by more than 20 guidance students from all over the country.

I can’t come out if I don’t want to curse.

“Somehow it happened. You must have suffered a lot.”

“If I had known at least a month in advance, I wouldn’t have been so upset.”

Professor Yoo Hyeon-joo chewed on the cigarette filter and muttered lowly.

Professor Yoo Hyeon-joo, an authority on close combat, clearly wriggled under the thin summer shirt.

“Professor Yoo. The penalty must be huge.”

Professor Jin Se-young carefully intervened, keeping an eye on her.

“A penalty?”

“Professor Yoo… You made a reservation for an overseas resort for this vacation. He’s leaving tomorrow…”

“Ah, well…”

I must be really angry.

“How about Professor Jin? Don’t you have a lot of advisors?”

“There are many. So I’m thinking of getting a special flight permit.”

Heroes cannot fly long distances recklessly.

This is because it may be misrecognized by anti-aircraft radar or overlap with the flight plan, resulting in an accident.

Of course, in the case of an urgent short-distance emergency sortie, no separate procedure is followed.

However, in order to visit all the students’ homes, they have to fly long distances, so they need special flight permits.

“That would be great. I have to get permission and go back as soon as possible. But anyway, the overseas trip is all for nothing.”

“I don’t know what’s going on all of a sudden. It’s not an administrative assistant, it’s an advisor’s home visit…”

Professor Jin Se-young and Professor Yoo Hyun-joo sighed at the same time.

Seeing this, Professor Heo Tae-hyeon of Information Acquisition and Operation giggled.

“So who’s that famous? It’s comfortable at times like this when you don’t have anything like me.”

“Professor Heo is a former spy, so it’s only natural!”

At Jin Se-young’s words, Professor Heo Tae-hyeon giggled and lit a cigarette.

“What if the professor is here and he smokes a cigarette?!”

“It’s okay. Professor Hyun doesn’t even cough anymore.”

“No! Professor Heo’s cigarette smoke will make you cough again!”

Professor Jin Se-yeong blew his hand at lightning speed and cut off the tip of Professor Heo’s cigarette.

“Huh… that dog is scary…”

Looking at the neatly cut cigarette, Professor Heo smiled dejectedly.

“By the way, what do you think will be the assignment of practice papers for next semester?”

Putting the cigarette back in, Professor Heo changed the subject.

Academy students go on experiential practice during the second semester of their first year.

The Hero Office and the Management Bureau, which observed the anti-personnel combat ability evaluation, point out the desired intern, and the student selects and leaves.

In fact, it would be more correct to say ‘draft’ rather than assigning a practice site because students will advance to the place where they practiced after graduation.

“Perhaps Yoo Hee-won won’t get any votes? Compared to the other kids, she’s overwhelming and her family background is incredible. Everyone must be in a frenzy trying to make connections.”

Her father was an S-class hero and the advisory chairman of the management bureau.

One of the three people who hold and shake the management bureau along with the director and deputy director.

In addition, in the interpersonal combat ability evaluation, Yoo Hee-won showed a different level of skill from his classmates.

“I think Han Min-ha would be great too?”

Professor Yoo looked at me and said.

“Are you talking about Han Min-ha?”

“Yes. You beat the top class in a way that I didn’t even think of without having any particular characteristics. I don’t know about anything else, but when it comes to fighting, Han Min-ha is getting more attention than Yu Hee-won.”

“That too.”

Then Professor Jin Se-young looked at me with twinkling eyes.

“They are both the professor’s advisory students.

“Professor Jin, you look like a dog watching its owner with a snack in your hand.”

Professor Jin was surprised by Professor Yoo’s words and hurriedly looked away.

“How can you say that a person is like a dog…”

“I didn’t say it was dog-like. It’s cute. Isn’t it, professor?”

“hahahaha. Yes.”

I smiled lightly.

But really Han Min-ha’s home visit… What should I do…

* * * * *

hot summer midday.

The deep blue sky and white cumulonimbus clouds drifting far away.

All the way to Han Min-ha’s house, I thought about many things.

First of all, there are no parents who are Korean.

So, in the end, I have to go and talk to Han Min-ha.

In addition to the guidance meeting, we recently trained together for several weeks because of the end-of-semester evaluation, so there is nothing more to say.

And secondly, I am worried that if I go to Han Min-ha’s house, I will see traces of Han Tae-woo and Seo Ji-ah.

Just in case, if the mental barrier collapses like it used to be, you’ll end up looking ugly in front of Han Min-ha.

As I thought about this and that, I saw a sign in front of me.

It’s all here.

Han Min-ha lives in a small town about three hours away from the academy, and it is a quiet and peaceful place with no special features.

Adequate population, adequate infrastructure, and adequate natural scenery.

It is a place where Han Min-ha and I get along very well.

Passing through a deserted and quiet street, we entered the housing complex where Han Min-ha lives.

The navigation guide ended in front of this small and simple-looking two-story house among the rows of houses.

is it here

As I got out of the car, the door opened with the sound of footsteps.

“Professor…! Are you here?”

Han Min-ha, dressed in short sleeves, opened the door and greeted me.

“How are you, student Minha? Although it’s been a few days since I’ve seen you.”

“Ah, yes…! Welcome! Thank you for your hard work getting here. Uh… Come in. I’ll give you a cold juice.”

“great.”

When I entered the narrow yard, I felt sorry for myself, but the Dodo also ran and opened the front door.

Upon entering, the cool air from the air conditioner greeted me.

“Isn’t it cool? Wait a minute in the living room. I’ll get you some juice right away. Um… what do you like?”

“What do you have?”

“Grapes, oranges, aloe… I have them all. I bought one because I didn’t know what drink the professor would like.”

“Give me an orange, please.”

“Yep…!”

While Han Min-ha clattered and took out a cup, I walked around the living room and looked around the house.

It was a clean and tidy house without a speck of dust.

But there was a certain atmosphere.

loneliness.

The house is clean because no one lives there during the school year, so there is nothing to get dirty.

And it hasn’t even been a week since Han Min-ha came back from vacation.

Then… Did Han Min-ha stay at home alone?

But why can’t I see even that common family photo?

“Professor. Don’t stand still. Sit on the sofa.”

Han Min-ha brought juice on a tray.

When I sat down on the sofa, he handed me a juice and sat down on the floor.

“You worked hard in the heat.”

“No. I’m coming by car anyway. More than that.”

I took a sip of the juice and continued.

“I thought about it a bit while coming. Originally, home visits are more about meeting parents than students.”

“Ah, yes. Yes…”

“But… in a way, meeting Minha’s parents… Wait a minute.”

My cell phone was vibrating in my pocket, so I took it out and it was Yoo Hee-won’s phone.

You said you were going this afternoon, but why are you calling me already?

He also has a quick temper.

I put the call on doubt and continued.

“As I said before, Minha’s parents and I were a team, and they were my only friends.”

“My only friend…”

“I also have a similar personality to student Minha, so I tend to shy away a lot.”

When I said that, I smiled, and Han Min-ha smiled as if in response to my smile.

“So… even if you don’t have to interview… you can already guess their intentions to some extent.”

“You told me to make me an S-class.”

“Yes. I will keep that no matter what. Even if Minha hates it.”

“I have changed my mind now.”

Han Min-ha said while maintaining a smile.

“At first, I was just alone, so I just blindly entered the academy when the management office said it would allow me to enter the academy. That’s why I gave up so easily and tried to drop out. But now it’s different.”

Han Min-ha looked at me with strength in her eyes.

“Because the professor took me as an advisor and Heewon helps me. Just like my parents were the professor’s only friends, I am also the professor and Heewon…”

Han Min-ha, who was about to say something touching, suddenly cut off and fumbled with his pants pocket.

“Sorry… the phone suddenly…”

“it’s okay.”

Han Min-ha, who took out her cell phone to check it, took a deep breath.

“Gyo… gyo gyo gyo… professor…”

“What’s wrong? What’s the call?”

“Hee… Heewon… called…?”

Han Min-ha showed me his cell phone.

The name ‘Hiwoni:)’ was on the phone.

“What should I do…?”

If you receive a call from a friend during your advisor’s home visit, it is polite to answer later.

But with Yoo Hee-won, the story is different.

He just called me and when I didn’t answer, I called Han Min-ha.

I told you I was going after I stopped by Han Min-ha’s house this morning…

There will probably be an uproar if neither answer the phone.

“Student Minha. I think it would be better to receive it.”

Then Han Min-ha flinched and shook his hand.

“Am I…?”

“Isn’t that Minha’s student phone?”

“Ah, yes… yes…”

Han Min-ha answered the phone with trembling hands.

“Hey… hey… hey…”

[Professor Hyun is there or not?!]

“Hey?!”

When Yoo Hee-won shouted loud enough to be heard over the phone, Han Min-ha looked at me in a fright.
