175 – Why Don’t You Do It?

Clatter-clatter-

“…”

“…”

Dinner with team members that had been planned before being dispatched to Russia.

Originally, we would have enjoyed cooking while chatting in a quite fun and friendly atmosphere.

But the current situation was by no means happy or cordial.

“…”

The reason is Soohyun, who eats while radiating a black aura.

Thanks to this, Kang Ha-na and Yu Da-som were busy looking at me and Su-hyeon.

They seem to think that something has gone wrong between the two.

“Oh… This steak is really delicious. “There’s a reason everything is expensive!”

Meanwhile, there was Lee Hyun-woo, the world’s peacemaker, but let’s skip that.

If you pay attention to it, you’ll either die from a heart attack or die of frustration.

Hyunwoo Lee, you bastard. Live alone your whole life. I will curse you!

Anyway, Suhyeon was never angry or irritated with her teammates.

Just quietly, playing with the fork and knife as if nothing had happened.

At first glance, you might think it’s not that different from usual.

However, anyone with an eye for insight will know it the moment they see it.

Ah, that person has just experienced something very unpleasant.

If you touch it for no reason, you might get angry, so I guess I should buy it!

“Examiner. “What happened to Soo-hyeon?”

Kang Hana, who had been pretending not to know until now, quietly asks a question.

It looks like they think it’s a couple’s problem, but they got the wrong street address.

I’m not the problem, the other person is the problem. That person pissed me off.

If I were to be concerned about providing the cause, I would have a certain share.

“I had a round with Lina before I came.”

“Lina? Uh, you’re talking about Irina.”

“Okay. She is that Irina.”

Kang Ha-na is started by my words and quickly checks on Su-hyeon.

It seems like he’s looking around in a hurry to see if he’s hurt anywhere.

“You look fine, right? Oh, by any chance have you received all the treatment?”

“I wasn’t seriously hurt. Just…”

I just lost to Lina in the end and was down like that.

“Because I lost.”

“Ah.”

Su-hyeon must have known that he couldn’t win in the first place.

Revealing one’s emotions indiscriminately is not Suhyun’s characteristic in the first place.

Nevertheless, the reason for doing so was because the person who inflicted defeat was Lina.

“Try harder. So, can you say that Seojin is your woman? For no reason will it be rumored that you are a woman who is trying to get involved with an S class using your social status?”

Was he really angry at Soohyun’s provocation for the second time?

It was Lina who said those words as soon as she won in sparring.

Until now, even when I won, I just smiled and didn’t say anything.

The fact that Rina said that means that she cares a lot about Suhyun.

In any case, one thing has become clear with this.

‘Not yet. There is a long way for Suhyeon to catch up with Lina.’

Now I know where Soohyun sets her goal

I don’t need anything else. Definitely better than Lina, if that’s not possible, she’s on the same level as Lina.

The problem is that the reason is none other than me, but in any case, that is Suhyun’s goal

When Kang Min-seong hears it, he says, ‘Yes! You might like, ‘I need to set a goal like that to become stronger!’

However, I can’t help but worry that it might still be too much.

Because unnecessary competition and nervousness can become toxic and undermine her skills.

“It’s okay, Suhyeon. I heard it all. “I sparred with Irina, and it’s amazing that you lasted that long!”

Meanwhile, Kang Ha-na smiled and Su-hyeon began to comfort her.

As a bonus, Yoo Dasom, who was keeping an eye on her, also learns the truth and comes to her aid.

It’s amazing that you, who are younger than Irina, have just reached Grade A.

If you sharpen your skills a little more, getting to S rank won’t be difficult.

If you do that, one day you will be able to overcome even that high wall.

“Junior! “Please tell me something, junior.”

Uh. Is it one? It would not be a good idea to make such a suggestion to Lee Hyun-woo—

“Yes? Ah. Yes. Su-hyun! Cheer up. What is it. There is a saying that whether you win or lose is better than your illness, right? Even though you lost, you can use that loss as a foundation to Become stronger! Then, even if you lose, just like me!”

This bastard. When I told him to comfort me, he said he lost and fell asleep.

Both Kang Ha-na and Yu Da-som touch their foreheads, probably thinking the same thing as me.

It’s like he doesn’t know whether he’s comforting or provoking.

“… Thank you.”

Look at that. Soohyun, who was trying to get a little better, started to get a blacker aura.

“No…”

“Ugh.”

Kang Ha-na and Yu Da-som, who looked like they wanted to ask if they were calling it consolation, were a bonus.

Despite Lee Hyun-woo’s trolling, Su-hyeon did not run away.

This is possible because the country has a suppressor. Hyunwoo, you should thank me.

If I hadn’t been there, I might have responded to the provocation and strangled you.

“Examiner.”

After paying the bill first, I came out and got some fresh air.

When I looked back, Suhyeon was right next to me.

“I was trying to calculate.”

She waved her hand in agreement with Suhyun’s words.

He’s an S-ranker and he is even the leader of this team, but are you delaying the calculation?

That’s too much, even if it doesn’t look like it. When you write, you should write.

“… Sparring with Lina today. “You did a great job.”

Actually, I thought a lot about whether to say this or not.

I thought that if I blurted it out for no reason, it would remind me of the defeat in sparring again.

However, we must clearly point out the parts that deserve praise.

Even though I lost, it is by no means something to be ashamed of.

Rather, it is a great thing. Because we did really well against Irina.

‘Even Lina was secretly surprised, wasn’t she?’

According to Lina, such an absurd ability to use one’s own magic power as an ignition point to burn the opponent’s magic power is something she has never seen even in the S-class magic class.

Even you couldn’t even imagine the idea of putting it on a sword and attacking it?

“Is that really a witch? That. I feel dumbfounded every time I see it. Now, even though I’m fighting a level A pull-up, I’m not scared and I’m doing ridiculous things like that. Old Man Kang must be very excited.”

Looking at such reactions, it can be seen that Suhyeon’s growth potential is enormous.

In fact, Soohyun seemed to be more concerned about today’s defeat.

“But I lost.”

“Just because you lost today doesn’t mean you will lose tomorrow. Just as if you failed the promotion review today, it won’t happen forever. No?”

Suhyeon slowly shakes her head in response to my question.

Good. It seems like it has loosened up a bit. I think we can do a little more here.

“Lina said so. In just a few months, he has grown incredibly. He said he was surprised. She told me not to tell anyone that she said this, but she only told you specifically, Soo-hyun.”

“… Really?”

Are you satisfied that Lina was surprised?

Or maybe she’s just glad she told you.

No matter what happened, a smile appeared on Suhyeon’s lips again.

… But what is this anxiety that still lingers in a corner of my mind?

“Examiner. “I have something to ask you.”

“What is it?”

“Is it true what Irina said earlier? “I didn’t do it, she only did it.”

“… Huh?”

“Is it possible that you didn’t do it because I was really dirty?”

This was it. I still had this unexplainable feeling of anxiety.

It’s Lina. Why do you say such nonsense and make the situation like this… !

“No way. “Never, never, never.”

“Then you’ll do it for me too? Me too…”

He said and then glanced down at me.

If I leave you here to say more, I think I’ll be embarrassed.

“Uh! Huh! I’ll definitely do it later! You didn’t just do this to Lina! At that time, Suhyun thought you were too busy! Well, that’s why I couldn’t do it! Lina was so flustered that There was such a gap!”

“… Really?”

“Really! It’s not dirty! Su-hyeon, why are you so dirty!”

Only after making all her hand and foot movements does Suhyun smile brightly.

Then he fell into my arms and muttered in an excited voice.

“Is it so. What a relief. I thought you didn’t do it because I was really dirty…”

Now we have to be fair even in things like this.

I’m going crazy, I’m going crazy. It’s my friend.

‘… I’m really going to be amazed.’

I successfully finished dinner with my team members as promised.

On the way back home after successfully consoling Su-hyeon.

When I got to the house, I saw Lina standing in front of the door.

“Are you here?”

“Why are you here…”

“Thank god. “I was going to find you if you didn’t come in before 10 o’clock.”

Before 10 o’clock? Why before 10 o’clock?

“It’s obvious. “If you don’t come before then, it means you’re messing around with Kim Soo-hyun and that witch.”

“What are you talking about? I have team members, but…”

“Ah. It’s not a joke. That’s the total price. Would you say it was a crazy s*x party?”

Is this really crazy? Oh, no. It was really crazy.

“So you were doing this? To see if I come in early or not?”

“There is that too. “There’s something I want to ask you.”

Following Suhyun, there is now something I want to ask Lina as well.

… I can now guess what you are going to ask.

“Why didn’t you spend the night with me? “I heard you did it with Kim Soo-hyun.”

Okay. I knew I would be like that.

“You fell asleep first.”

Fortunately, there is a reason why I have no choice but to accept it unconditionally.

Even though she fought with several elders, Lina didn’t get tired and instead only increased her tension.

Not long ago, when he was with me, he cried and later collapsed and fell asleep.

Of course, it was never too early. Since I did it until dawn, it was actually okay.

Rather, Suhyun riding on top of me all night is strange.

“… That’s it! Wow, it looks like you had a lot of fun catching moles!”

“Okay. It could have been because I was a little tired.”

When I hit back appropriately, Lina’s spirit suddenly calms down.

Definitely, it’s easier than Suhyun in this regard.

“Anyway! Next time, let me do it all night too. Got it?!”

“Okay. Okay. Okay, go back to your house.”

When I gently push his back, he says he will go on his own and presses the elevator button.

“Oppa.”

“Uh.”

“Can’t the next day be today?”

Not today. This. I’m going to work tomorrow. Please.
