chapter 7
Episode 7 First day of admission. (5)
* * *
When I came out of the training ground, the sun outside the window was hanging on the horizon above the sea and burning the surface of the water.
Come to think of it, I said that the sunset from the sky lounge was wonderful, shall we go?
There’s nothing to do now anyway.
I turned straight to the dormitory and went to the central hallway with the elevator.
And, when we arrived at the top floor of the academy, we saw a small coffee shop set among the well-manicured gardens.
On the other side there was a helipad and a convenience store.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been moving my body all of a sudden, I’m suddenly drawn to sweets.
Shall we buy some ice cream at the convenience store?
Of course, drinks like frappuccinos sold at coffee shops should taste much better, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to buy such a drink for my circumstances.
After alleviating my disappointment, I went to a convenience store and checked the price of ice cream.
It’s not that expensive.
On average, it’s about 10 credits.
I just picked up my favorite ice cream and picked it up.
25 credits.
After calculating it, I thought it was a little expensive, but if it’s this much, it shouldn’t be a big problem.
When I sat on a bench and peeled off the wrapping paper, the appearance of ice cream sprinkled with Java chips and macadamia nuts was revealed.
I was worried that it might be just the color and tasteless, but fortunately it wasn’t.
The taste was definitely worth more than the credits I paid for.
Of course, the beautiful scenery must have contributed to that feeling.
Because when the atmosphere is good, the taste is also bought.
It would have been better if we could just keep going like this.
You have to fall in fear of not knowing when you will be expelled from school.
The complicated mind never thought to be organized.
It’s because I don’t have one or two to think about.
In the end, it took quite a while to regain stability.
The sun had completely set, and now the moon and stars began to appear in the sky, and the cone in his hand had long since become soggy and lost its crispness and crispness.
I just sat on the bench in the same posture all the time until that happened.
As I was about to get up and go back to the dormitory, a familiar face appeared in the elevator.
Cheon Hyun-woo?
Did he have a reason to stop by the Sky Lounge?
Obviously, on the first day of admission, I remember that everyone was very busy in the classroom.
Suddenly, I wondered why this guy was coming out of here, and I searched through my memories.
There was no way that I suddenly remembered that.
I’ll have to ask or do it myself.
“What did you come here for?”
“Why are you here?”
“Just to get some air.”
“me too. There is no reason.”
remembered
There was a hint that this guy was going to be absent in the middle.
it looks like now
What we met here was purely coincidental.
If it’s like this, why don’t you just go?
Because I can’t just ignore the person who sat on the bench next to me as if it was all right.
Besides, as this guy is the main character of the original, he was also a person who had nothing to do with getting close.
can’t do it
I have no choice but to sit down again.
“Hey, Park Seong-jin.”
“why.”
“How did you get into Trinity Academy? I didn’t like it that much.”
That’s a really difficult question to answer.
If I approached it from a secular point of view, I could answer that this was the place that provided the best quality environment among the places I could stay, and there was a way to avoid the answer by saying that I came because I was called.
There may be various other answers, but as I cannot understand the essence of the question, I have nothing to say.
That doesn’t mean you want a formal answer, though.
In the end, there was only one thing I could say.
“I want to suck honey.”
It sounds like a joke, but it’s true.
The value of the Trinity Academy S-Class diploma is enormous.
Even if you stab any famous hero team, they will surely accept it.
In such a place, the salaries are generous enough that you can live a decent life even if you only get a salary from a small job without the need for promotion, so it can be said that it is the best place to eat raw.
Of course, getting that diploma was a difficult task for me to throw up.
“It’s a very realistic reason. Do you have any other goals?”
“Well, I don’t think it’s something to think about right now.”
I have a goal.
After graduating from the academy somehow, defeating the last darkness and returning to my original world, or, if I can’t go back, live a comfortable life in this world and die.
But in my situation now, there is no time to worry about that.
It’s the final boss and it’s a bummer, and the road ahead itself is bleak.
“I’m sorry if it made you uncomfortable. You may have your own circumstances.”
There was a tremor in his voice.
Even though I’m blunt, I’m not so blunt as to not even notice the unnatural twitching of my hands and feet.
No matter how hard a person tries to act naturally, he cannot control even the reflexes of his body.
Why is Chun Hyeon-woo suddenly reacting in a painful way? It is because this child violated the guidelines in the academy and used his ideology.
Your hands and feet are convulsing because of the electric shock from the serial card.
Still, he doesn’t react so violently, so it must have been used only to reveal the truth and lies.
Hyeonu Chun’s first ability, ‘Eyes that read minds’, is an ability that consumes a lot of thinking power.
If it had been used for mind-reading, it would have been an electric grill.
… Thinking back, it was a little odd.
If you don’t believe me, you can skip ahead.
What I couldn’t understand was that he used his ideological power to hide the true meaning of such useless words.
It didn’t bother me too much, as he would have read my mind anyway and made sure it wasn’t a lie.
“I don’t really care. There were other people besides you who were curious about my identity.”
“who?”
“I think it was Randy or something like that. It’s a C class, so you wouldn’t know?”
“I don’t know.”
I think it’s a position where aggro has no choice but to be drawn.
So I understand and move on.
Other people are doing all sorts of sh*t shows to get into a higher class, but if a guy who doesn’t know English suddenly appears and says, ‘I’m S-Class,’ you might be a little curious about its identity.
“Come to think of it, the kids were talking about you in the classroom earlier.”
“You were talking about me? What are you talking about?”
“I just wondered what he was doing. I don’t know what my abilities are, but it’s strange to be in the S-Class.”
I wonder if he actually said that.
In the midst of all sorts of negative speculations, it would not have been possible for only such kind words to come out.
In fact, I don’t really care what they say.
What I’m worried about is the future.
Obviously, it was obvious that there would be a scandal as to how you entered the school…
how can i pass it
There was not enough time to think step by step.
I have to face the S-class guys from tomorrow, but I can’t just run away from them forever.
At the very least, I don’t know if the class was full of people.
If that was the case, it would have been enough to hide like a dead mouse and live as an assassin.
The problem is that there are only 10 people in the S class.
Inevitably, I have no choice but to get involved with other guys.
“I’m going back to the classroom soon, would you like to come too?”
“Isn’t it a bit hard for me to fit in there?”
To be honest, I see it.
How did you get in the way of people who might have been gossiping about me just now?
The only thing I got from coming to another world was the trauma of my school days.
“It will be fine. No one has ever said that badly.”
“done. Have fun with you guys.”
“Aina always seems to want to talk to you.”
“He? me?”
no-nonsense sound.
The Mitsuru Aina I know is by no means such a character.
No, wait.
Thinking back on it, I thought it might be possible.
For her, who is considered one of the hard-working people in the movie, the sudden appearance of me and Beatrix will feel like a thorn in my eyes.
Besides, the bitch is terminally ill and suffering from a sense of entitlement.
It was something I couldn’t understand at all for a person who had grown up with nothing lacking.
“Yeah, because it is. I’ll go and talk to you, just come. We’ll be seeing each other for a year from tomorrow anyway, so what are you trying to avoid?”
“Yes, I will.”
I beg you so earnestly, so it wouldn’t hurt to go there at least once.
Just in time, an appropriate excuse came to mind.
* * *
A voice echoed throughout the dark hallway.
The source, of course, was the S-class classroom.
“What are you doing, I wanted to be this late, but was it late because you brought her?”
“I happened to meet you and told you to come.”
“Is that so?”
“Have we been talking about you since before?”
Unlike James, who spoke with a slightly harsh tone, Beatrix greeted me with a bright smile.
I’m so glad I have him.
Without Beatrix, it would have been an endless hearing.
“I heard. Chun Hyun-woo told me.”
“Yeah, did I say Park Seong-jin? I am Alfred Eisner.”
“nice to meet. Alfred.”
“Actually, from the moment I first saw you, I had a question. May I ask? It’s nothing.”
Did you have any questions from the moment you first saw it?
I’m not that conspicuous.
What are you talking about?
“I do not care. Ask any questions you feel comfortable with.”
“I saw you for a moment while reading the oath on the podium, and you were smiling. What are you laughing about?”
How else did you see it?
To be honest, I wanted to tell you that it’s strange that you guys don’t laugh even after reading the oath.
Of course, I didn’t say it out of my mouth because I was afraid of what kind of rebuke I would get if I did that.
“I suddenly remembered a scene from a movie I saw on the plane. There was no special meaning.”
“… Yes, it could be.”
Alfred gave a questionable expression to the casual reply.
Fortunately, no further questions were asked.
The problem was the next person’s question.
“Then can I ask you one thing? Oh, my name is Olivia.”
“So.”
“I talked to them a bit, but no one had ever heard of you. If that’s the case, then you’re talking about entering high school… May I ask what kind of thinking you have? It’s very rare to enter S-Class at that age.”
“Isn’t that the same for Beatrix?”
“right. So I just asked Now it’s your turn to be curious about your story.”
After all, is this question unavoidable?
It was what I expected, but when it comes to reality, it’s still difficult.
I hope the excuse I came up with works well.
“So, I wonder what my thinking power is, right?”
“right. I wish I could tell you.”
It’s not that I don’t know that the words I’m going to say now will cause some kind of ripple.
I’ll do it though.
“I know the future. It’s just a brief scene.”
