chapter 168
168 – Do You Want to Go See the Cat? – One
Kagagak- Chang!-
In the training hall located at the academy, a man and a woman are sharing a ‘real sword’.
A couplet so bloody that it gives goosebumps to those who see it.
If hit correctly, it will attack without hesitation in areas that will at least cause serious injury.
Movement is also not just for sparing. That should be considered ‘actual combat.’
To put it bluntly, people are saying that this is a real fight, and that they should stop it.
It’s not just the general public, it’s even students who have a bit of experience in the field to worry about.
Even the teaching assistants came out with their arms crossed and looking worried.
Among those people, only two people looked as if nothing had happened.
Chaechaejang!—
“Uh. It’s speeding up. Are you trying to end it slowly?”
“Maybe? There is a reason for your junior to act like that.”
Those who exchange opinions in extremely calm voices are Judasom and Kang Hana.
In the past, they would have been very nervous, but not anymore.
After seeing so many situations like that, they adapted to it without even realizing it.
And the people engaged in a fierce sparring match were, of course, Lee Hyun-woo and Kim Soo-hyun.
“Inhale!”
Lee Hyun-woo suddenly grabbed the sword he was holding with his left hand and stabbed it straight forward.
When Kim Soo-hyun slightly turned his neck to avoid him, he threw his fist out as if he had been waiting.
It’s not just a punch. It is a brutal blow filled with magical power.
Lee Hyeon-woo, a member of the Weapon Department, is demonstrating a technique that only the martial arts group can do.
“The dual series is also good. The weapon branch also uses martial arts magic.”
Dasom Yu shakes her head as if she is fed up.
It is a martial arts technique in which a sword loaded with magical energy is swung back and forth, and then the magical energy suddenly flies out.
Unless you know in advance, you will inevitably be hit in an instant.
Although there is a smaller difference between the magical power of weapons and magic.
It can be said that the use of magical power in the weapon series and the magic use in the martial arts series are completely different.
To be specific, the weapon series is a series of concentration, and the martial arts series is a balance of concentration and dispersion.
There is no major problem when dealing with monsters, but it is important when dealing with villains.
The moment you become familiar with the flow of one magic power, a completely different magic power suddenly appears?
Unless your skills are quite outstanding, you will inevitably be late in responding.
Kwaang!—
At this time, an explosion is heard in the training hall, and the two men and women who were sparring step back.
Kim Soo-hyun, who, like Lee Hyun-woo, has a dual system, unleashed flame magic in that short period of time.
If he had been hit properly, no matter how much Lee Hyun-woo was, he would have suffered quite serious injuries.
However, not only Kang Hana but also Yu Dasom, who is sensitive to injuries, remained steadfast.
This is also a situation I have experienced several times. And no matter what, Lee Hyeon-woo continued to appear unharmed.
“Oh. “This one was really sharp, wasn’t it?”
Yes, like right now.
I thought he was swept away by magic and burned, but in reality, Lee Hyun-woo was just relaxed.
Only the teaching assistants, who were still capable, knew about the situation, but I wondered what happened to most of the students.
Kim Soo-hyun, who was dealing with Lee Hyun-woo, gave the explanation on his behalf.
“I guess you knew I was going to use magic. “I even chanted twice on purpose.”
“It was noticeable in an instant! If it were the original magic chant, the magic power should come out like this, but it was cut off in the middle. I found out there. Ah, the first magic is a trick and there will be more after that.”
The students who were listening to Lee Hyun-woo’s words looked at Kim Soo-hyun in shock.
As a weapon type, just swinging a sword is difficult and hectic enough.
In the meantime, they were chanting a double chant saying that even magic classes were difficult.
I wonder if he was someone who could barely do pull-ups in bronze until a few months ago.
“Now. Juniors? “Let’s leave it at that and go to the next lecture, right?”
When Kang Hana steps forward, the man and woman simultaneously lower their swords and step back.
The spirit of fighting as if they were going to kill each other just a moment ago disappears in an instant.
Hyunwoo Lee said he had fun today too haha! Laughter.
Kim Soo-hyun shrugged his shoulders and said it was no big deal.
The ones who couldn’t adapt to the change were the students who were watching.
“Suhyeon.”
I’m about to put my sword away and head to the classroom to listen to the next lecture.
As expected, the person who caught Kim Soo-hyun was Lee Hyun-woo, who was cleaning up after himself.
“Can I ask you something?”
“What is it?”
When Kim Soo-hyun gave permission, Lee Hyun-woo took a quick look and opened his mouth.
“What’s going on?”
“Yes?”
“No. I felt this while sparring earlier, but should I say that it is a bit too sharp today? I don’t have that feeling, it’s a bit weird. “At first I thought it was my mistake, but is it really “My mistake?”
At those words, Kim Soo-hyun flinched inwardly without realizing it.
I was hiding it because I said I was hiding it, but it seems like Lee Hyun-woo already knew everything.
If this happens, my efforts to not show any signs will be in vain, I muttered.
“Do you really think it’s an illusion?”
Kim Soo-hyun cleaned up after himself and asked a question in return.
Then, after thinking for a moment, Hyunwoo Lee tilted his head and then shook his head.
“To be honest, I would say ‘no.'”
“Really?”
“Huh. The sharpness that I felt on my skin as the magical power clashed with the magical power that was passed from sword to sword earlier is still vivid. I don’t know anything else, but I’m confident in my intuition, this is it.”
As a team member, I try to worry while not overstepping the boundaries.
It’s natural. Taking care of your teammate’s condition is something you must do as a teammate.
“I’m anxious.”
“… “Hey, I’m not sure what the anxiety has to do with the sharpness from before.”
“It matters. I don’t know about you, but this feels really bad. Oh, so I guess I should say it’s unpleasant rather than unsettling? Hmm… What is it? It feels like a stray cat.”
Kim Soo-hyun continues to be unable to hide his anxious look
And next to him was Lee Hyeon-woo, who was saying nonsense like, ‘Did you cook fish at home?’
Meanwhile-
“Let’s go, mole! Hehe! Mom and dad! Finally, our dutiful daughter has caught the day!”
Irina, who managed to catch her mole her, jumped through the portal with all her might.
Baek Seo-jin, who followed in his footsteps and became a ‘mole’, laments that he will never admit it.
“A dutiful daughter? If you have a conscience, quit. “It seems like your parents are burning inside because of you.”
“What are you saying! “Is there a daughter more filial than me?”
Isn’t that filial daughter by any chance a filial daughter of the fire attribute? I’m holding back what I want to ask.
Baek Seo-jin arrived in Korea a day earlier than the original schedule.
*
Where should we be most careful in the current situation? Association of people with special abilities? No.
Of course it’s Suhyeon. I understand she is returning home tomorrow.
But in reality, I plan to return to Korea today, the day before, and be with Irina.
There was no sign that Soohyun was trying to monopolize me.
Although she was wary of Irina, she gritted her teeth and did not show any hostility.
Perhaps she is unconsciously admitting that she hates Soo-hyeon too.
But that’s it, and if you think about it emotionally, it might not be.
Especially in the current situation, you have to worry about the ‘hiding it from yourself’ part.
So I thought I would just be honest with Soohyun, but Irina caught me again.
“I’m using my right to wish, so do I have to report it one by one?”
Okay. This situation has arisen due to the right of wish that I proposed.
The only important thing in using that wish was Irina’s intention
I quickly realized that there was no good point in bringing up Soohyun even more.
Even if you tell the truth later, let’s stay quiet for now.
Once again cursing at the past me who abused the right to wish.
“So, where are you going? “If I’m walking around and someone catches me, I’m not responsible.”
“Ugh. Seojin oppa, was he a man with no sense of responsibility?”
“This is a s*xist remark in today’s world. “Dividing men and women.”
When I made a joke, Irina said, “Phaat!” And she burst out laughing.
“I feel like I want to go to Seojin’s house…”
“Do you want to?”
“I’m anxious. Kim Soo-hyun, I think the witch will come to visit me right now.”
Oh. Answer. I was worried about that too.
Is it because she’s a red witch? Suhyeon’s perception was really good.
A picture of Soohyun unexpectedly coming to visit while at home with Irina?
Just imagining it makes her hands and feet tremble and her whole body trembles.
“So let’s go home!”
“… The conclusion is quite strange, isn’t it? “Why is your house there?”
No, and? There is the most important part.
“Last time I heard, right downstairs is where my parents are.”
“Yes. My parents live below me, and I live alone above me. Why is that?”
“What if my parents find out? Are you okay?”
“Eh? Why do your parents know? Rather, you two would welcome Seojin with both hands, right?”
I already know that you think well of me.
The problem is that you misunderstand that you are keeping me there as a threat.
If you say that the two of you have performed a major mission, you will probably ask similar questions again.
– If you forced my daughter to do it, please wave a carrot! –
That kind of reaction comes out unconditionally. One hundred percent. I guarantee this.
“And my parents aren’t here right now.” “You have work to do so you won’t be back until tomorrow afternoon?”
“Surely, you calculated all that, caught the Russian mole, and now caught this mole?”
“I can’t say no! Ahahaha!!”
After that, in order to maintain secrecy, he also performed tricks to elude security personnel in the residential area.
Since the S-class was determined to leave no trace, it was really possible to enter without anyone noticing.
“You really don’t have parents, right?”
“Because there isn’t one. And it’s not like my parents disliked me, so what am I worried about?”
Isn’t it great that a man performs a wedding ceremony when the woman’s parents are below him?
“Stop worrying. Come in quickly. While I was here, I also saw a cat.”
“Cat? “Did you have a cat too?”
The last time I came to Irina’s house, there wasn’t a cat? There wasn’t even a single trace of growth.
“We brought in a new one this time. It’s really pretty, right? You won’t regret it. Oh, do you hate cats?”
“I don’t like it. If I had to be honest, I like cats more than dogs.”
“Thank goodness!”
What is fortunate? Irina, I didn’t know she would raise a pet.
I was a little curious about what kind of cat they were bringing in.
… I don’t have any? No, where is the cat?
I entered Irina’s house, but I couldn’t see the cat, let alone the cat’s fur.
Meanwhile, I wonder where this thing went as soon as I entered my house.
I was wondering if this was just another prank with strange sounds.
Irina, who had gone into her room she runs towards me again.
“Hey, are you kidding me again? I can’t even see the cat’s shadow, so what…”
“Meow—”
