The Academy’s Time Stop Player

Chapter 16



“It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other like this, hasn’t it?”

“Yes, it has.”

Meanwhile, the students who came to support were assigned to their respective security departments.

Separately, Yoo-Seol, who had asked Anna to be her personal protection, were in her office, facing each other and sipping on their teacups.

As they did so, Anna suddenly began to open her mouth with a smile.

“It doesn’t seem necessary for me to be here”

Anna’s gaze turned to her bodyguard, who was standing firmly by Yoo-Seol’s side.

Looking at the bodyguard, she felt as if she wasn’t needed here.

“No, because Anna is special.”

However, Yoo-Seol simply denied Anna’s words with a beautiful smile.

Frankly, Anna could also have realized at this point.

The fact that Yoo-Seol-Ah had pulled out of this external training in the name of personal guarding for her own sake.

“And just in case. Because if an unavoidable situation arises, I will have to rely on Anna.”

“What the lady says is right. In that case, please.”

The next words that followed were those of the bodyguard, who was wearing sunglasses.

Anna looked at the bodyguard for a while.

He was a man with a scar that ran vertically all the way down to his eye, starting at his forehead.

She thought the sunglasses were used to hide the scar over one of his eyes.

The bodyguard in office who took over Yoo Seol’s protection was well-known around the world.

He was a high-ranking hero, just below the highest in the hero grade, with a decent track record.

Looking at him, it doesn’t make me feel the need for it anymore, but I understood the intention anyway.

I didn’t particularly intend to slack off, but I just wanted to thank Yoo-Seol for looking after the situation.

“It’s a bit much to leave the would-be princess of a country in charge of security training, isn’t it?”

“Thank you for your consideration. Yoo-Seul.”

“What is it? Beyond all that, you are special to me.”

It was Yoo-Seol, looking at Anna with a smiling face.

Yes, she was.

In fact, Yoo-Seol never treated anyone kindly and without purpose in this way.

She only treated Anna kindly because she had something she wanted from her.

Of course, Anna knew this fact.

“How is Seung?”

“Hmph, thanks to you.”

“I will visit again if I have time.”

“I think Seung will be pleased.”

With these words, Yoo Seol added with a bitter smile.

“Because you are the only hope for me now.”

“….”

Unlike Yoo-Seul’s smile, Anna could not laugh.

She knew her situation well and she was right. She was the only one who could do it.

“Oh, by the way.”

Yoo-Seol evoked the atmosphere with applause and then moved on to another subject.

“That guy who was in the top spot this time…”

“Is it Kim Ha-jun?”

“Yes! Yes! What is he like?”

Anna only smiled at her question.

I couldn’t think of any words to answer.

What is he like…?

Kim Ha-jun was a rather elusive character.

No, beyond elusive, he was a man I couldn’t stand.

“That, to be honest, I don’t really know either.”

“What do you mean, Anna?”

“I think it’s better that you actually see him and judge him rather than me telling you.”

“Hmm~”

It was Yoo Seol-ah, who showed a rather meaningful and charming smile.

(Is she lying because she doesn’t want to lose potential recruits?)

It doesn’t look that way from her face, but…

It really genuinely seemed like she didn’t know Kim Ha-jun.

“I think it’s a bit too much for me to bear.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes.”

“That makes me even more curious. Shall we take this opportunity to go and have a look?”

“Now?”

“There’s a saying that you can take the bull by the horns all at once. Let’s check it out while we’re at it anyway. After the training is over, they will be assigned to the main hall on the first floor.”

With these words, it was Yoo Seol-Ah who stood up from her seat.

Anna followed her and they went to the main hall to check on Kim Ha-jun.

And …

“…”.

“…”.

“Kuaa~n~munya~kupihyu…”

The situation was too ridiculous to be true.

A boy in a black suit for a bodyguard was sleeping .

He was lying comfortably on a sofa positioned in the main hall, making strange snoring noises.

Anna slowly turned her creaking head to look at Yoo-Seol.

Yoo-Seol was staring at Ha-Jun as a stone statue with her mouth wide open in dismay.

At the same time, even the guests walking in the main hall were glancing awkwardly at Ha-jun as they passed by.

Yoo-Seol was astonished to see the situation happen right in front of her.

“Unbelievable…”

Instantly, Yoo-Seol’s head was dizzy.

The veins in her neck felt clogged.

She was confused about what was happening now and wanted to deny that it was not real.

She was so stunned by Kim Ha-jun’s action, as if he was at the curtain-raiser.

The head of the security office, who was looking beside her, cautiously opened his mouth.

“Shall I wake him up, miss?”

“Now!”

Unlike his scary face, he was the head of the security department who carefully and gently shook Ha-Jun to wake him up.

Yoo Seol-ah’s blood pressure seemed to rise once more at this action, but she had eyes to see and decided to hold back.

Kim Ha-jun then woke up while stretching on the sofa and looked at Yoo Seol-ah with half-closed eyes.

Then came the sloppy words from Ha-jun’s mouth.

“Why?”

“…What are you doing now?”

“I’m sleeping.”

He even spoke to her as if she was his friend… she felt like exploding.

Yoo-Seol decided to move to a different location.

Red face, but with a smile on her face.

“Please follow me for now. I have something to talk about.”

Ha-jun scratched his head and showed his expression of annoyance openly.

At this action, Yoo-Seol bit her lip and said warningly.

“..Hurry.”

“Tsk.”

Ha-jun unavoidably got up from the sofa.

Yoo-Seol then looked at Anna for a while before opening her mouth.

“Wait a minute, there’s something I want to talk to you both about.”

“Ah, yes.”

Frankly speaking, it was better not to get involved in the current situation, but Anna was curious about the situation that followed next in her inner mind. Because it was the first time Yoo – So-ra, famous for her calmness, had ever been that angry.

Ha-jun followed Yoo-Seol to the office where she and Anna had just enjoyed a cup of tea together.

As soon as she entered the office, Yoo-Seol started yelling at Ha-jun with a stern expression on her face.

“What are you doing now!”

“I was working.”

“Is that how you work?”

She was already angry, beyond her limits, but.

However, I couldn’t help but be a little perplexed by Ha-Jun’s next words.

“Do you have a teacup. Did you drink it with Anna?”

“…”

“Preferential treatment is not good, we are all students of the same school.”

“Oh, Anna is my personal guard!”

“Is this what your connections do for you?”

“Hey!!!!”

In the end, it was Yoo – Seol-ah who shouted, unable to win over her anger.

Ha-jun only laughed cheerfully at Yoo-Seol-ah, who was now shouting.

“Ha ha ha! You finally look the same age.”

“I can’t give you good marks if you behave this way”

“It’s okay. You don’t have to do it, Instead, leave me free for the rest of the day alone and I’ll help you once later.”

“I don’t need it!”

“Really? I-”

You said something like help and tumbled.

Yoo-Seol couldn’t stop being angry.

Then she began to understand to some extent the words Anna had said.

Even if she saw it herself, it would be difficult for her to endure Kim Ha-jun, who seemed to live life at his own pace.

“I’ll contact the academy, so be prepared!”

“Yeah… yeah.”

“Kuu. Shut Up!”

“Bye.”

Ha-Jun left the office, really as it was after those words.

At this point, Yoo Seol was so stunned that she was speechless.

(Really, there are all sorts of crazy people!)

He was really crazy.

It was the first time in her life that Yoo-Seol-Ah had experienced such a human.

“Why did the 1st team leader put that guy in the main hall!”

“That’s… when I asked him to contact me, he didn’t respond to that either and told me to stand still in the main hall.”

“Please tell them to put him in some other quarters and tell him to stand still!”

“Yes, I understand.”

Meanwhile, Ha-Jun changed his clothes in his allocated quarters and came out to the hotel pool.

The pool was bathed in warm sunlight, and a group of fit women jumped into the pool to enjoy the fun.

Ha-Jun sat on a beach chair next to a parasol that blocked the sun and enjoyed the peace and quiet.

(Oh, how nice.)

There was a reason for all of this for Ha-Jun to leave like this.

He would be the busiest person at night anyway.

It’s like a rest before hard work.

Frankly speaking, given the situation at night, it’s better to enjoy freedom now.

Scores?

Scores are useless if there’s an incident anyway.

There was a problem in the training with the attack by the villains, will anyone really value the score?

The joint training will be canceled because of the attack by the villains, and all the first-year pupils who were helped across the country will be back.

This is life.

It’s really good to know what the future holds.

I have time to spare like this.

“This is the pink lemon Copacabana you ordered.”

“Thank you.”

One employee approached Ha-Jun and politely handed him the aide.

It was a drink with a peculiar name that Ha-Jun had ordered before coming here.

I don’t know what Copacabana is, but I ordered it because the name was a bit unusual.

I drank it and it was surprisingly delicious.

“Fuu~ nice~”

How nice it would be if nights were this peaceful.?

Ha-jun shouted a toast in his mind for me, who would have a hard time tonight.

***

Late at night, when the sky is dark and full of stars.

“Ha-Jun, where have you been?”

“Main hall. I had a lot of work to do.”

“I see.”

Ha-jun answered Joo-ah’s question boldly.

In fact, Joo-ah did not seem to suspect anything at all…

They began to quietly look at the night view from the rooftop for a while.

As expected of a well-positioned hotel, the night scene was spectacular.

“Are you finished with your work?”

“Yes. I think the other girls are probably resting too.”

“I see.”

Their conversation did not last very long.

Because when she saw him, too, who looked as if thinking something.

Now she felt like just quietly admiring the stars floating in the sky.

“The view is nice, isn’t it?”

“Yes, it is.”

The two of us looked at the night view in silence for a while.

Then suddenly.

Suddenly Ha-Jun spoke.

“Don’t ever come downstairs.”

“…Hm? Why?”

“There is such a thing. I’ll go down there first.”

“Huh? Where are you going?”

“To work.”

Ha-jun turned around like that.

Lee Joo-ah, stared at Ha-joon like that.

For some reason, his shoulders drooped without strength, and Ha-jun, who continued to sigh, looked terrible.

“It looks like you had a hard day today. Ha-jun, keep up the good work!

“OK.”

Ha-jun raised the maharaj on his back.

It began to shine brightly under the dark night sky.

***

Meanwhile, in Yoo Seol-ah’s office.

She was working late in the night.

It was her normal routine.

Her pattern of life was to go to bed late and get up early.

And so it was after two o’clock at dawn.

At last, Yoo-Seol put down the pen she was holding in her hand.

She gazed blankly at the ceiling for a while and began to stretch out with a faint smile .

“Kwoon! Hah~ I’m done.”

It always felt good at the last moment when the day’s tasks were over.

Of course, it’s a routine that repeats itself every day.

At least at this moment, I felt like all the stress I had experienced in the day was going away at once.

However, today I was a little distracted.

“–That human—”

No, is he human?

How can a person be so thick-skinned?

Honestly, as far as feelings go, I don’t care about people’s personalities or anything!

However, the moment I was in his presence again, it felt like I was going crazy, like I was being disturbed, not like myself.

“Remember. I’ll get rid of you right away tomorrow.”

At that moment.

“Hm?”

KRIK! KRIK! . Tick.

Suddenly, the lights in the office went out.

Instantly, Yoo-Seol’s complexion began to harden.

Gulp …

The door to the office swung open loudly.

There, the (Bodyguard) head of the security department and Anna were hurriedly calling Yoo-Seol.

“Miss!”

“Miss Seol!”

Soon Yoo-Seol realized the seriousness of the situation.
