189 – Misunderstanding, Misunderstanding – 1

“I thought you would come soon, but what took you so long?”

“Something happened, so it happened. “Did you wait long?”

Hyunwoo Lee waves his hand, saying it didn’t take that long.

Although it was cut off for a moment, it is still lunch time.

So I sat down again and resumed the meal I had stopped.

“There were quite a few customers. “I was also the dean’s guest.”

“I see. But didn’t you come here just to give me directions?”

I know. I also guided you to the dean’s office and I thought you’d be there soon.

In response to Lee Hyun-woo’s question, he continued eating and told him about what had happened a little while ago.

A preliminary visit by students from the UK, and Emily Shaw, the person in charge.

Who was her father her her her, and even the last part of his sparring with her?

“… Dalian, what do you mean? Showing off Britain’s A-level skills?”

As expected, the place where Lee Hyun-woo reacted first was the sparring part.

Another sign of someone’s interest in Dalian is that he’s showing off as if he’s crazy.

“It’s even said that this talented person is the daughter of Bernard Shaw, a former S-class member of England.”

“Yes. Maybe that’s why the base was very thick. So much so that it could become Britain’s S grade.”

There are often cases where the names of parents who were heroes are tarnished.

Parents died honorably in past battles, but their children only had accidents.

Or, there are some people who do bad things based on their parents’ prestige.

However, Emily was a person worthy of the title ‘Bernard Shaw’s daughter.’

Although I am currently struggling between revenge and duty.

Because of this, I was in a situation where I was standing in front of a wall and couldn’t move forward.

She even gave me a hint of the way, and I would eventually realize it.

‘And the moment you become free from that, you will grow one step further.’

It’s a good thing that there are many S ranks. Because you will have a comrade to suffer with.

It’s tiring to be dispatched to another region right away, but the location is a different country?

I might feel desperate once again to get rid of the S rank.

“Examiner.”

As I was finishing my lunch and clearing the place, Hyunwoo Lee quietly spoke.

I think I now know why they call me that. So I tried hitting the player.

“You’re not asking if you can’t spar with Emily, right?”

“Uh… “No, how did you know that?”

How do you know what? Your expression has been different since we talked about sparring earlier.

Is Lee Hyeon-woo, who deals with everything clearly, thinking deeply about something?

One hundred percent. No, it’s definitely a sparring-related topic.

“Didn’t you say you didn’t go back to England right away?”

“Yes. Rather, from today until the completion of the Union Academy. So, I will stay in Korea until we officially receive students. “Local adaptation or something.”

There is a scam called Portal, so why do you want to do that?

It is understandable when you consider that an astronomical amount of money is lost just by using that portal.

From the UK’s perspective, students should be viewed as a lottery ticket that has not yet been scratched.

It would be nice if I got good grades, but I sent it out in a narrow selection.

It’s the same in other countries, and what might happen to people’s affairs.

“As for Emily Shaw, then she will continue to stay in Korea.”

As I nod my head, Hyunwoo Lee looks excited.

“I became more curious when the examiner said I was an outstanding person. Besides, since the opponent is not so overwhelming as the judge, wouldn’t it be possible for us to do our best for each other?”

“You’re not overconfident, are you? Emily’s skills are not average either.”

Except for S-ranks like me, even if they are A-ranks.

It is very burdensome to receive Lee Hyeon-woo’s sword from the front.

The other day, Kang Min-seong even suggested to me if I would consider becoming a student.

However, Lee Hyun-woo embarrassed Kang Min-seong by saying this.

“I would like to do it on my own, except for having to be judged by the examiner!”

If you are in the weapon industry, you would know the reputation of Kang Min-seong’s sword.

Nevertheless, the fact that he refused shows that he is confident in his abilities.

In my opinion, Lee Hyun-woo had a good reason.

However, it is absolutely prohibited to let your guard down too much.

Conversely, your belief in yourself can become a wall blocking you.

So, when I quietly gave him a warning, Hyunwoo Lee waved his hand.

“That is absolutely not the case. It’s overconfidence. “I just want to experience the intensity of the fight between me and my opponent, giving everything we have.”

Because of the fierceness of the other party. Well, Lee Hyun-woo hasn’t experienced much of that.

There is no chance of seeing anything like that when you spar with me.

At least Suhyun is at a similar level, but it seems like she is not satisfied with just her.

“… All right. I don’t know if it will work or not, but I’ll try to prepare a place first.”

“Oh oh! Thank you, Judge! I’m really looking forward to this!”

The reason for accepting the offer is not just for Lee Hyun-woo.

Maybe this sparring could be helpful to Emily as well.

Since this is someone who put aside his pride and bowed down first, I have to do at least this much.

“… Dalian, what do you mean?”

Next day. She went to find Emily who had found lodging nearby.

At first she greeted me warmly, but when I brought up the reason for her visit, she seemed embarrassed.

“Is there any problem?”

“Oh that… Actually, I received a warning yesterday.”

“Warning?”

“Yes. The reason was that he sparred with an S-rank member of another country without permission. This is because their power could be exposed, and on the other hand, their country could have shown its intention to spy on Korea’s power. ” Isn’t it often the case that trust breaks down when small misunderstandings between countries arise?”

That’s right, but the people involved said okay, so why are you saying this from above?

If Korea had said something, I could have gone and questioned it.

After all, it’s a matter of that country, so we can’t say anything here.

“Then go now and report it to your superiors. This time, it was me who suggested it. And the target is not S grade, but A grade like you. “If it’s some kind of exchange of capabilities, they’ll accept it.”

There is a world of difference between a class A request and a request from an S class.

Moreover, there was a feeling that Emily, the visitor, had done something rude in the past.

This time, it’s the opposite and I’m asking for it, so there’s nothing strange about it.

Did Emily also have similar thoughts as me?

After touching her chin and thinking about it, he soon parted his lips.

“Surely… If you say so, I think the above will accept it. All right. Since I also received something, it would be right for me to grant your request. “Who did you say you were dealing with?”

“My name is Lee Hyeon-woo, and I am a first-year student at the Korea Academy for Talented Persons.”

“But it’s already Grade A.”

The expression on Emily’s face as she said this clearly conveyed the feeling of ‘this is amazing.’

After great effort, I would have earned an A grade and continued to move forward.

This is because a boy who is only in his first year is already earning an A grade.

But as far as I know, I heard that this woman also got an A grade at a similar age to Lee Hyun-woo?

I don’t think there’s any reason to react like it’s amazing or surprising.

“Seeing as you’re asking me to spar, I’m sure you’re not even a grade A fluffy kid.”

“Maybe so. “Because he’s a friend I keep looking after.”

“Is that so? I’m jealous of this. “I can’t believe that the S rank keeps watching on a regular basis.”

“Thanks to you, I am very tired. “You don’t know how much it sticks.”

“That’s also amazing. “I’m talking about an A-rank that doesn’t fall out of exhaustion while sparring with an S-rank.”

I was very grateful that he accepted this request so coolly that we talked about various things.

The cell phone I had in my arms began to vibrate harshly.

When I glanced at the screen, I saw the name ‘Irina’ written in large letters.

Ugh, I sighed and said goodbye to Emily to talk on the phone.

It’s vacation season anyway, and the Union Academy isn’t even complete.

Starting tomorrow, you will come to the academy and spar with Hyunwoo Lee.

Thanks to that, Hyunwoo Lee’s attention she will turn from me to her for a while.

I think I can only focus on my friends who have no way of escaping Bronze.

Woo!- Woo!-

Ah, kinda. I receive it.

“Uh, why?”

[Who is that woman you just met? ]

… Uh? Wait for a second. What did you just say? No no. More than that?!

“Suhyeon?”

You didn’t hear it wrong. It was clearly Soohyun’s voice.

I quickly checked my phone screen to see if I was mistaken.

– Irina –

… What? I’m sure the number that came from is Lina’s cell phone?

“Suhyeon. Are you with Lina by any chance?”

[Please answer, it looks like you are very close to the examiner. … Hey, give it to me. No! It’s my phone, so I’m going to answer it! Ah! Hello!? Seojin oppa. Be honest. Are we not enough on our own? ]

What is lacking? It’s still a problem because it’s full and overflowing.

Looking at what they say rather than what they say, it seems like there was a big misunderstanding.

I’m not the type of person who rolls my brains up in soup and eats them.

Soohyun and Rina suddenly called and I could not guess why they were saying this.

The only thing I’m curious about is how on earth you knew.

“It’s absolutely not like that. No imagining nonsense. Where are you now?”

[Turn your head to the left. No, not on the left, but by my standards. Yes, like that. And listen just a little bit. ]

When I did as Lina said, Soohyun and Lina were indeed standing there.

This angle is too clearly visible to say I passed by by chance.

Could it be that these people were following me?

[Don’t misunderstand. At least I’m not that crappy girl. I just happened to feel my brother’s energy while passing nearby. So I followed my brother to surprise him, and saw him talking to some strange bitch. ]

So, they followed you to surprise you.

[Anyway… Ah. Hey! A little! I’m on the phone… Ugh― … Examiner. Is what you said to Irina correct? Besides me, she doesn’t want to have another woman by her side, does she? ]

I feel it. The red witch’s energy creeping up from somewhere.

I decided to quickly resolve this misunderstanding before I get more unnecessary misunderstandings.

“Lina.”

[Oh, kinda! It’s my phone! … Yes, brother. ]

“Soohyeon, bring her and come right next to me.”

He said that it is right to eliminate misunderstandings and debts right away.
