I Became the Villain’s Childhood Friend

5 – [1] light and shadow

* * *

It was after a storm had passed.

There was only silence in the lonely hospital room.

I was so bored, so I turned on the TV with the remote control.

Then, the educational channel’s children’s programs began to flow.

It was a broadcast of teachers wearing ridiculous clothes and children wearing cute monster masks.

– “… … How many types of gates are there and which ones are there? Guess everyone!”

– “Two! Dungeon Gate and World Gate!”

– “Yes. A dungeon gate is a rare and randomly occurring gate that leads to a monster den or labyrinth! On the other hand, World Gate—”

– ““““Permanent and huge gates all over the world, including Sariwon Metropolitan City in Korea!”””

– “that’s right! Everyone remembers it well! Then one more problem here! Does anyone know where the World Gate leads?”

– “Me! It leads to Charelthea, a planet in another dimension! My mother, who is from the Far North, also said that she came over from there!”

– “Whoa, everyone is smart! The Far North and the Far North Elves are actually the same thing, right? They are all from Charelthea!”

– Click, click, click.

– “And as you can see on the screen! In addition to handling dungeon gates on Earth, Hunters do various activities in Chareltea!”

– “Humnya, hmmmnya, sir. Do you know what kind of activities the hunters are doing in Chareltea?”

– “Dongseok friend! Absolutely! Because this teacher knows nothing! The activities the hunters do in Chareltea are to collect magic stones by dealing with monsters, deal with dungeon gates that often appear in Chareltea, and prevent bad people from the First World from coming over to Earth!”

– “wow!”

– “The biggest reason we can live like this is because the hunters worked hard… … Where it isn’t already… … So, children, always remember how this peace is maintained… … .”

Even though it didn’t show up properly in the game, it was all learned in school.

It wasn’t fun enough to fall asleep.

I switched to another channel with half-closed eyes.

Soon, a movie channel, which can be said to be the root of burning time, came out on TV.

“Is it an American movie?”

Seeing the bad scene from the beginning without a root, it felt like that just by looking at it.

As I continued to watch it while clicking my tongue, I began to get a sense of what kind of movie it was.

The background is Palaistra Academy, famous as an internationally prestigious hunter academy in the game world.

The content is a desperate story in which the main character, a graduate student, tears apart and kills love, war, monsters, and professors.

However, for a 12-year-old, a lot of internal organs and blood were coming out.

I don’t know how the deliberation was done, but it seemed more suitable as an early education textbook for little boys who wanted to be hunters than a commercial movie.

‘By the way, did the game protagonist originally graduate from that school?’

Thoughts that came to mind while watching.

My memories come and go, but due to the setting, the academy where the main character of the game came out was right there.

Although the main character did not express that place positively throughout the game, saying that he suffered only because of his good grades and lack of ability.

‘I’m still envious.’

A place that people like me who are awakened but do not have the ability cannot even dream of.

A place where only aspiring hunters gather.

That’s why I stared at the TV with very envious eyes.

kiik-

After that, it was near the end of the movie.

The door opened, revealing a familiar yet welcome figure.

“Poetry, Shiaaa… … .”

However, it was a cry.

Hana Im, crying and trembling, approached me slowly.

“Where the hell have you been? … Aww!”

Tears and runny nose all flowing.

I even cried even more when I saw the cast on one of my arms.

“Huh… … If you go to the playground, they say it will come right away… … .”

Come to think of it, I hadn’t contacted this guy since he was taken to the hospital.

I was sorry for thinking that I would have been at the playground until late.

I rolled my eyes to see if there were any injuries anywhere, revealing my knee covered in dirt.

Still, it didn’t seem like he had been very lonely.

“Oh that… … .”

“And someone said that someone hit Xian and it became like this… … .”

“yes?”

“My aunt Xian told me. A strange friend came here because he beat Xian… … sniff.”

It seemed that he had heard all the stories.

It was all right, so I nodded my head.

Soon Hana Im made an expression that seemed to be a mixture of crying and anger.

It was just like when a child shows hostility.

“Your arm is fine… … ?”

“Uh, roughly. Her grandfather came and fixed it and left.”

“He… … ? Are you talking about villains?”

“Villain? Oh, a thousand? That’s right.”

“He’s a bad kid! Hitting people carelessly is the act of a villain!”

Innocent yet childlike justice.

It was so different from the strange, trash-like regressor.

It felt like healing came after a long day of suffering.

“Villain, that’s right. Because you used magic to attack the same friend.”

“mana! Villain! witch!”

“right. witch. Because you use your magic in a bad way.”

I stroked Hana Im’s hair.

Soon, you told me that you shouldn’t be that kind of kid, that such a friend would go through a big deal someday.

Of course, if I say it too negatively, it’s bad for education, so he said that he could be nice again.

‘There’s really no possibility.’

Still, who else knows?

In this harsh world, people and relationships change in one day.

If you’re lucky, you might have hit your head and come to your senses.

“But now you are a bad child! I must have learned so much magic! I will protect Xian!”

“Yes, please protect me.”

Still, rather than him changing, I wanted Im Hana not to lose that mindset.

This kid has been a close friend since childhood.

Even though I was impossible, I prayed in my heart that you could definitely become a great hunter.

“hit! cyan! The teacher said that today-”

Eventually, Hana Im, who shook off her gloomy feelings, sat down on the bed and started a pleasant story.

only 1 month.

It was the time it took for her to be discharged from the hospital after being treated with magic.

Quite a short period of time considering the bones were shattered.

Even if the seasons change just barely, it’s a fairly long period for humans.

Especially when I was alone, my sense of time was messed up, so this was comparable to torture.

“Sian-ah!”

Fortunately, Im Hana came to visit me every day.

Even though this side wasn’t the only friend, the goodness that he continued to care about was reminiscent of an angel.

That’s why I greeted Im Hana warmly every time he came.

A light that shines in the darkness.

But it wasn’t just light.

“Ha, what are you really asking me to apologize for? … .”

Tragically, an unexpected shadow also came and went in and out of the hospital room every time.

It was quite dark, so most of the moments were soaring anger, and sometimes even physical conflicts occurred.

The only good thing was that the people who seemed to be bodyguards stopped a thousand of them every time.

“Oh hey, it’s my seller.”

“… … Sorry. A strong admonition so that I can apologize tomorrow—”

Because there is no need for discipline and apology.

Just don’t send it.

Even saying that didn’t change anything.

The reason was simple, because a sincere apology from a thousand horses was an agreement between the guardians of the sheep.

Truly a solution tailored to children’s personality.

Of course, the regressor never apologized to me… … It seems like it would, but surprisingly, he apologized a few times under coercion.

It was an apology through coercion, so it didn’t seem very sincere, but it was a problem that the family over there kept sending it.

Living in a hospital room where light and shadow coexist.

But my ordeal did not end there.

The reopening of school took place shortly after being discharged.

There was not a single transfer, and everyone still went to the same school.

“ah.”

“ah.”

And the reality that everyone was in the same school meant facing someone terribly terrible again.

Whether it’s intentional, unintentional, or accidental.

obviously.

Every day was a long way off, and the sh*t broke out.

“You bastard, really. If it wasn’t for Grandpa, you would have died by my hand, man.”

“what? die? Did this kid go crazy? It looks like steamed buns, so you’re giving a damn about eating them.”

“What, steamed buns?! It’s a f*ck! The f*ck is what you do!”

“f*ck you, you son of a bitch! Didn’t you receive less home training?!”

＜First semester of second grade in elementary school＞

“Are you scared of the f*cking asshole? Well, it’s worth it since you were beaten that way by me last year.”

“Ouch, Emchang. Who beat whom? Aren’t you ashamed of being beaten by an idiot without magic when you’re good at using magic? Is it trash?”

“Yeah, I’m not shy~ Honor doesn’t feed me anyway.”

“Ah, so your family complained to me like that and got the charges dropped?”

“What, what? You punk!”

“Aren’t you seriously tired of saying sh*t every time you run into each other at school?”

“You haven’t gotten tired of it even though you’ve been doing it for over a year? Jiangshi bastard, are you scared?”

“your mother.”

“your mother.”

Even today, I wiped my face at the same bad relationship.
