chapter 4
4. No, it’s a misunderstanding.
4. No, it’s a misunderstanding.
The academy teacher, Shin Shi-hwa, asked me a question with a curious expression.
“Why did the student enter the school?”
Contrary to his soft voice, he has a serious tone mixed with his words.
She wonders why a guy with such a trashy body wants to enter the Hero Academy?
He seemed to ask a question with that in mind.
Unlike Shin Shi-hwa, who looked at me with such doubts, my heart rotted.
‘I don’t even know why I’m here. How do you know that?’
To be clear, it was safe to assume that I was now kidnapped.
I was kidnapped into the game while I was sitting at home.
As soon as I woke up, my childhood friend kidnapped me to school.
Everything was absurd for me now.
I’ll just tell you the truth.
‘I don’t know why I enrolled, but I just followed my childhood friend.’
No, that’s crazy.
No matter how much you plan to enter the school, you don’t have to show a bad side to her, the school’s teacher.
If she has negative feelings toward me, and if it leads to the results of the exam, it may be ‘expulsion’.
There’s no place in this world that’s as safe as the academy, would I go out on my own because I was crazy?
Without failing, gather hidden pieces of common episodes to increase your strength, and survive here as long as possible.
It goes without saying that we have to manage our image so as not to be branded as a problem child and expelled from school.
What I could do was decided without even having to ask.
I pretended to be as weak as possible.
“I want to show you too.”
“..what do you mean?”
As if there was a reason why I was admitted to something, dragging things around as if I had no confidence.
I looked at Shinshihwa’s reaction.
A student who entered the Hero Academy with a weak body.
Compared to other students, he is relatively weak, what does he want to show?
Maybe that’s what you’re thinking.
The corners of her lips were raised with a little anticipation.
‘How successful is it?’
The purpose of my image making is as follows.
An aspiring hero who has been discriminated against by others due to lack of strength.
A hopeful student who wants to become a hero with a weak body.
The situation is no different than a small squirrel stopping a knife robber.
Let’s leave such a good impression on the evaluation paper.
In the teacher’s situation, when judging a student for the first time, he or she makes a judgment based on the evaluation written by the interviewer.
Am I going to miss an opportunity like this because I have to live with my image?
You can’t miss an opportunity to raise your teacher’s favorability.
I kept my head down and continued speaking.
“Even a weak person like me can do it…”
“Weak..?”
Oh
Shin Shi-hwa checked my documents again and exclaimed.
A body that does not have magical powers by nature.
Extremely soft body.
What is the fact that such a student applied for and passed the Hero Academy?
“..it must have been very difficult.”
Yes, I have had a hard life.
Shin Shi-hwa was looking at me with pitying eyes.
Now is the time.
Here I lifted my head and looked into her eyes to appeal to her sympathy.
“Yeah, even with a body like this, I work hard to become a hero…”
“Strong power. To hide it and live. It must be difficult.”
…yes?
My willpower seemed to shake a little at the unfamiliar sound.
Aren’t you supposed to listen to me and listen to my past?
The way she looked at me after she stopped talking was sympathetic, but her intentions were not in line with me at all.
“Interviewer, that’s not it…”
“No, you don’t have to tell me. I understand.”
What the hell do you understand
I felt frustrated by Shin Shi-hwa’s behavior of not listening to my words and only talking about herself.
“You’re misunderstanding something.”
“The interview time is over! Please enter the next person!”
No, wait. Is this wrong?
It is true that I was hiding my unique abilities, but I did not hide any strong powers.
However, it seems that there was no time for me to correct Shinshihwa, who had misunderstood something.
“Wait, I have something to tell you…”
“I wish you good luck. Students. Please, do well in the academy. Fighting!!”
‘Here it is,’ and the receptionist pulled me in, and in the end, I left the room without explaining it to her.
And this unexplained incident tore the future I had drawn to pieces.
***
After all the students’ interviews were over, Shin Shi-hwa sat down and looked at the documents that had been sorted.
“This kid was fine, too. He had poison in his eye.”
Documents from students who were impressed.
For Shin Shi-hwa, the documents of students who recorded high status or who had good test results were left out.
Shin Si-hwa, who was reading the classified documents, muttered.
“This rider may be the greatest ever.”
Thousands of students enter the Hero Academy.
However, the graduation rate among them is 30%.
In other words, the 700 students packed their bags and went out or were buried in the ground.
However, there were many reasons why it could be said to be the greatest.
The younger brother of an incumbent S-class hero, a jewel of the Hero Association, and a female student who shows unusual growth.
It is because they exist that show the same big test results.
So, Shin Shi-hwa, who was handing over their papers, stopped moving when she saw the papers of a male student.
“…Han Si-jun.”
What the hell is this student?
Even after years of teaching at the academy, she was the first to do this.
Numerical stamina of an aging general elderly 2.
A boy who suffers from heart disease because he is born with no magic core.
Si-Jun Han is not expected at all, and it is like a miracle that he entered the school.
But for some reason, Han Si-jun kept running around in her mind.
[Unique Ability]
―This student’s unique ability is attached secretly.
In the case of the original students, they record all their unique abilities, and let the teachers judge them.
However, unlike other students, in the case of Si-Jun Han, it was said that his unique ability was kept secret, and at the same time, the stamp of the association was stamped.
“He had such a low status, how strong was he, so he was able to enter?”
This is the ‘Hero Academy’ where only skill is evaluated.
No matter how low his status was, the reason he was able to enter the school must be there.
His eyes full of determination, documents wrapped in secret.
Shin Si-hwa assumed that it was ‘Han Si-joon has a strong unique ability compared to his stats’.
Shin Si-hwa looked at Han Si-joon’s documents and whispered lightly.
“I’m looking forward to it later. I have a lot of time left.”
Fufu.
With a soft smile, she didn’t seem to think that she had misunderstood at all.
***
After the interview that left us feeling uneasy, we finished the entrance ceremony in the auditorium and we were walking towards the designated class.
“..ha.”
“Why, what happened?”
A lot has happened.
It’s a feeling that can’t be washed off.
It wasn’t going away from me after the interview was over.
What did teacher Shin Si-hwa think of me?
Did you write it well? If not, I’m in real trouble.
The voices of teachers are the most important to me, who has to make a living with images.
“He’s the one in the morning…”
“That subway guy was a freshman..?”
It seems that the students’ eyes have already been rolled up coldly.
There seemed to be no other combination of a weak-looking male student and a dark-haired female student than us, and rumors had already spread to other students.
All that’s left are my childhood friends and teachers. Is not it?
Ignoring the whispers we were so used to, we walked towards the designated class.
Again. again.
With the sound of light shoes, we arrived at the door of the class marked 1-A.
A door that opens just by pushing it.
As I stood in front of him, I began to ponder for a moment.
But he and I are in the same class again.
As far as I can remember, she was fortunate to be in the majority of her class during her school days.
There was always a pair of seats, and even the cleaning crew sometimes cast the same lot.
Not a childhood friend, but an adhesion rate that makes you think that they are just one body.
Well, this must be fate.
Can’t you help it?
I opened the door to the class and entered the new environment.
“…”
It’s gloomy
In the classroom, the students were just sitting in their seats without saying a word.
What do they not know?
It was a moment of reasonable doubt.
“Isn’t that the window seat in the back?”
“Ask, of course.”
My favorite seat was at the back with a view of the classroom.
Among them, the reason why the wind blows is good is because it gives vitality to the weak heart.
It was a method of selecting a position that had its own circumstances.
So I was assigned a seat by the window, next to Ha-yeon Yoo, who was assigned the same seat as before.
“Are you not bored? It’s the same position, the same pattern every time.”
“..I never thought I was bored. Then, are you tired of seeing me every day?”
Yoo Ha-yeon asked me with a smile on her face.
I also told her with a sense of playfulness.
“If you say you’re bored? You’re pouting again.”
“Who..who says I’m crooked…! I’m not that narrow-minded woman, am I?”
Other than being narrow inside, it’s narrow.
Well, it’s the chest.
It wasn’t wrong.
Ha-yeon Yoo said with a smile that barked at me with her chin on the desk.
“I’m always new when I’m with you…?”
“..don’t pretend to be fatal.”
Kick kick.
We looked at each other and laughed as usual.
Yes what
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a childhood friend?
A childhood friend who can talk playfully and maintain a comfortable relationship.
We continued to talk about bad boys and girls until the teacher came.
Unchanged from the past.
