chapter 14
Episode 14 Chronic disease.
* * *
Three days have passed since then.
Thankfully, Vincent gave freshmen me and Beatrix a period of reservation, so they could not participate in the mock battle.
Besides, today is Saturday, and if you include tomorrow, it means the end of two more days.
Of course, it cannot be denied that it is a short time, but just being able to enjoy oversleeping without being chased by lectures and fatigue was a happy enough moment for me.
Until something that interferes with that joy appears.
At first I tried to ignore it somehow, but the notifications on my phone kept ringing, and I had to wake up eventually.
who the hell are you
I don’t have anyone to contact me.
When I ran the Toka app, which had accumulated dozens of notifications, an unknown chat room at the top caught my eye.
[Chun Hyun-woo]
▶ I made a class talk, is it true that I invited everyone?
[Alfred Eisner]
▶ I think so
[Olivia Teixeira]
▶ Haha
[Beatrix Waldeck]
▶ It’s our class, right?
[Jade Cromwell]
▶ Oh, I got it from James because of a notification.
[James Fitzgerald]
▶ I’ve been bald since then, but I’m changing my excuses.
[ ?]
▶ ?
[Катарина Беляева]
▶ Oh, did you make it already?
[Baek Seong-yeon]
▶ Hello guys
Oh, it was Hyeonu Chun.
Making a class talk or something.
I didn’t know you could make it so quickly.
[Chun Hyun-woo]
▶ Didn’t you invite Park Seong-jin? answer me if
[Park Seong-jin]
▶ Why
[Chun Hyun-woo]
▶ ㅇㅋ It’s all here
After roughly illuminating his face, he turned off the chat room notifications.
Because I didn’t really care what those guys were saying or saying.
You will know how to play well.
By the way, I’ve already run out of heart medicine.
I don’t want to go to the hospital.
There was no other reason.
It was because I didn’t want to just go through various tests, and it was cumbersome to take medicine at every meal.
However, I couldn’t help but take the medicine.
What would you do if you were to die of heart disease?
Of course, the worst case would be a situation where you went to the ward and there was no medicine, but the likelihood of that happening was remarkably low.
Because the hospital inside the academy boasted a scale that even crushed any university hospital.
I hope that there are not many situations where the prosecutor is dragged around because there are so many waiting lists.
Well, how many people suffer from heart disease at this age?
* * *
I understand now that Beatrix got lost on the first day of school.
What the hell is this internal hospital so big?
Without asking the staff for directions, I couldn’t even dare to go there.
“Hey, where should I go for treatment for heart disease?”
“You can go to the cardiologist. Could you lend me your cell phone for a moment? I will mark it on the app map.”
“thank you.”
I felt like I was wandering through a labyrinth.
The GPS used to show my location, but it didn’t make the way to get there simple.
Anyway, as a result of wandering around in the internal hospital for quite a long time, I managed to reach the cardiology department.
Still, it’s comforting to know that there isn’t a lot of waiting.
There’s nothing more boring than sitting around and waiting for your turn.
“Park Seong-jin, please come into the 7th treatment room.”
As I entered the treatment room, a doctor, presumed to be Korean, greeted me with a smile.
I bowed my head lightly and said hello.
“What did you come here for?”
“Oh, I’m on heart pills, but the pills ran out… .”
“okay. What is your date of birth and what is your name?”
“December 9, 2000, Park Seong-jin.”
“yes? Is it recorded that you were born on February 5, 2005?”
I unconsciously told you my previous birthday.
You should have something to worry about, like your birthday.
“Oh, right. Born February 5, 2005.”
“Anyway, you have a record of falling from a myocardial infarction, so I think you should do some tests.”
“All right.”
Yes, because I knew it would be like this.
it’s obvious what
In the end, I had a few tests, including an electrocardiogram, and it was determined that I was now close to normal.
However, there were still some concerns about a recurrence, so he handed me a prescription with the words that I had to take the medicine steadily.
“thank you.”
“You can come back in three months. have a good day.”
And there was someone who was watching it quietly.
* * *
The Mitsuru family is famous.
in a good sense or in a bad sense.
It is true that he has achieved great wealth and fame, but that was the case with all of them built up by dishonest things.
Of course, the Mitsuru family did not start out as a group full of malice.
Until the superpower of imaginative power appeared, they were nothing more than a famous hunter family in a certain area.
Even that, after the end of the hunting era, they had to experience a crisis of downfall.
Just before the name ‘Mitsuru’ completely disappeared from history, something happened that would change their fortunes.
The time of war had come.
So, they had to make a decision.
Now is the only opportunity to use the hunting skills that have been honed so far.
Thus, the withered Mitsuru was able to bloom again as an assassin.
Now, though, it was just a thing of the past.
Of course, that did not mean that the name and image were completely forgotten by people.
Because there were rumors circulating that he was still receiving someone’s assassination mission.
Moreover, it could not be seen that the inference was completely wrong.
They could go back to the dark side and exercise their influence at any time they wished.
And, if you really let go of dirty work, shouldn’t you have forgotten about hunting techniques handed down from generation to generation?
However, every member of the Mitsuru family was learning those skills.
Even if it’s a slender girl.
Aina here is an example of that.
Black hair with lustrous sheen flowing through the flecks.
Sun-drenched eyes and soft purple eyes that only feel far away.
The long, slender eyelashes that adorn them.
A high nose bridge that adds a three-dimensional effect to the dense facial features.
Even two tear points that seemed to depict sadness.
All of these things came together to create an obsidian sharpness and a frosty coldness.
It was as if the name ‘Mitsuru’ was formed into a shape.
For such Aina, what happened last time was nothing but shame itself.
The loss of not being able to win despite all the effort is also a sense of loss, but the fact that the story of the third ability, which is nothing more than her rebelliousness, came out of the mouth of an ordinary man with no special talents must have come as a great stimulus to her.
Because the words he had left still haunted Aina’s ears like a ghost.
‘Don’t you want to use a third ability?’
Even Aina knew that not being able to use the third ability was not such a big flaw.
It wasn’t a style that relied heavily on specific abilities like some Awoken, and she was strong enough without any of that.
However, being greedy was a natural reaction.
Generally speaking, the third ability is a powerful ability that cannot be compared with the first or second.
Instead, the mental and imaginative power was extremely exhausted.
So, it was quite common to not be able to use the third ability even in the yard where it was awakened.
Because it was such a difficult ability to deal with.
That was the reason why she burst into tears.
If it had been a situation in which he hadn’t even awakened at all, he would have moved on.
However, to not be able to use it even after awakening is to prove that you are immature mentally and in terms of using your abilities.
Objectively, it was nothing to be offended by, but she was blaming herself because she had very high expectations for herself.
now, even this moment.
So, it’s been half a day since Aina was locked up in the training room.
Feeling hungry, she left the training room to get a quick meal.
Meanwhile, I ran into Park Seong-jin, who was heading somewhere.
He didn’t seem to recognize Aina.
Aina, who felt puzzled by ‘where are you going in such a hurry,’ started chasing after Park Seong-jin.
And, after wandering around in the internal hospital for a while, he stopped by the Cardiovascular Medicine, a place that deals with heart and vascular diseases.
Although she did not reveal it outwardly, Aina was feeling embarrassed in her own way.
Because she didn’t even know that such a situation existed.
At that moment, a hypothesis popped into Aina’s mind.
‘The grades required for admission were already met, but the academy refused admission due to a congenital disease, and I was able to enter this place only now that my symptoms improved a lot.’
Thinking about it that way, things that I thought were strange until now were not a problem.
Talking as if they had known them for a long time.
The theme of the guy who had never used his ideological power properly, and the fact that there was a sharp corner about the battle between the awakened.
From weird to confident personality.
Everything started to make sense.
Accordingly, Aina rewrote her heart’s evaluation of Park Seong-jin.
As ‘a nerd with guts rather than thinking’.
