episode_0089

On the first day of semester, the rule is to return home after OT.

I feel alive after smelling the fresh air outside.

It’s the first time I’ve felt freedom in a while.

“But is the hero course still available?”

On the other hand, in the hero course, the classes continue without any such thing. There were no students wearing hero course uniforms on campus. Since it is the main curriculum of the academy, it may be conducted according to FM.

The buzzing sound of the speakers still emanates from the main auditorium, reminiscent of a large dome stadium.

It seems like various schedules have been scheduled, starting with the entrance ceremony. Since it is an auspicious event, the entrance ceremony will also be held in a grand manner.

It doesn’t seem any different from the university events I’m familiar with. So Iria had no choice but to be busy.

It will probably take a while for all schedules to be completed. It should be at least 5-6 o’clock. And even if the schedule ended early, Iria would not have been able to leave work as she pleased because she was a faculty member.

“Hmm, there’s still quite a bit of time left, right?”

I walked around the academy’s quiet campus and checked the time on my phone.

Current time, around 1pm.

As soon as orientation was over, I rushed out.

There is no need for a personal interview or heartache.

Did you know that I would fall for another obvious trick?

Park Bi-hwa’s insides are clearly visible.

They’ll use the interview as an excuse to attack me again.

There is no need to step into obvious traps.

Of course, it wasn’t that I wasn’t afraid of the aftermath.

I don’t know. I’ll hit you with a penalty point.

If you try to interfere with my completion by doing something outside of class, I won’t stay silent.

“Tsk, by the way, Pungran also bothers me.”

As soon as I came out, I remembered the endless waiting for me in the auditorium.

I just asked her to wait a moment to stop her repeated requests, but she nodded with a bright smile. Like a loyal dog that strictly obeys its owner’s standing orders.

“No, no matter what, why would you suddenly touch my breasts? … .”

I saw you for the first time today.

I don’t think she’s normal either.

In some ways, it was no different from Park Bi-hwa.

If Geomjae secretly revealed his sinister intentions,

Pungran openly revealed her inner self.

To get involved with me somehow.

No matter how precious men are in this era, aspiring heroes or sidekicks… At this point, he was no different from a villain.

Is it okay to be like this from the first day of school?

All I did was sit there,

People around me didn’t leave me alone.

Before I fell into the reverse world, my life was very boring, but now, every day is different and incidents are happening. It was a life I could never get used to.

“Oh, I don’t know. It’s like a belly.”

So, I decided to escape from my hectic daily life for a while.

ㅡJeo-beok, Jeo-beok, Jeo-beok… !

I ignored all the schedules that were trying to force me and ran out of the building. I felt like I had returned to the days when I was an immature student and would skip classes without hesitation.

free. happy.

One interview would be fine.

Let’s move quickly because they might come after us.

I moved straight toward the front door.

But that didn’t mean we were on our way to see Iria. I wanted to escape from the hectic everyday life for a while while she finished her work.

Yes, I was pioneering a completely new path.

“But where is it? I said I would wait in front of the school gate… … ?”

I looked around at the main entrance of the academy, which seemed reminiscent of a temple. It was to find an appointment partner.

‘Not yet? While I’m waiting, I should at least leave a message to Iria saying I’ll come visit her at the end time… … .’

It was time to take out my phone to reply while I was waiting.

“Oh, Mr. Sihu… ? Are you already out?”

Just as I was fiddling with my phone to reply, I heard the voice of the person I was looking for coming from behind. It was the voice of the person on the lunch date.

“Oh, I just arrived too!”

As soon as I answer, I turn my head and see a woman with neat, short hair.

Wearing a black skirt and white blouse.

A woman who exudes a teacher vibe.

She was none other than Seong Ji-hyun, who gave me her business card.

“That’s right. But are you okay? I heard there was a meeting with the head professor… … .”

“Oh, that’s no big deal. You don’t have to worry about it.”

“No wonder you are skipping the interview because of me… … .”

“It’s not like that, so you don’t have to worry. Anyway, let’s go get something to eat. Maybe it’s because it’s already past lunch time, but I’m really hungry.”

It was like that. The route I chose was Seong Ji-hyeon.

At first, I thought I should wait for Iria, but

I guess it only took an hour or two, but time flew by.

Still, I didn’t want to spend time with Park Bi-hwa or Pung-ran. It’s obvious what’s going to happen.

So, I decided to have lunch,

I chose to meet Seong Ji-hyeon.

He also wanted to say thank you to me again, and I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to kill time while also doing my own work.

I decided that if I just ate and went back, it would be enough to wait for Iria.

And above all, the energy(?) felt from Seong Ji-hyeon was not bad. I didn’t feel any sinister undertones like Park Bihwa, Peony, or Pungran.

“Then I’m glad. Then there is a place I often go to… Can you guide me there?”

“Good. I don’t know much about this area… … .”

“Heh, then would you like to follow me?”

I nodded and walked as Seong Ji-hyeon led.

*

“Hey… Mr. Jihyun? You come to this place often… … ?”

I couldn’t hide my dazed feelings.

I thought we were going to have a quick meal,

When I came to my senses, I found myself sitting in a fancy restaurant.

“Yes, sometimes?”

Seong Ji-hyun answers with a calm expression.

Her attitude seemed sincere.

If you’re an employee at a large company, it could be something like that… … .

“Mr. Sihu? I have reserved the menu in advance. Is there anything you would like to add?”

Seong Ji-hyeon smiled brightly as she handed the menu to me. It was a smile as if he was telling me to order something without any pressure.

“Oh, no! It’s my first time doing this, so I looked at the menu and couldn’t figure out what it was… … .”

But I couldn’t do that.

He waved his hand and refused the favor.

That’s because I couldn’t read the menu. It is completely impossible to decipher whether this is a French multi-course meal restaurant.

However, I could tell that the price was ridiculously expensive.

“Wow, I don’t know if I can say this to the benefactor who helped me… Sihu is really cute.”

“Yes… … ?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. Just forget it.”

When I asked, Seong Ji-hyun blushed and slightly avoided my gaze. This kind of appearance made her even cuter.

‘by the way… Even if you’re an employee of a large company, isn’t this a bit much? Of course, I understand that you want to treat your benefactor well, but—’

“… Isn’t it too expensive here? You were thinking that, right?”

“What… … ?”

Seong Ji-hyeon sees right through my inner thoughts. Before I knew it, she was looking at my face again and maintaining a gentle smile. He was fixating his gaze on me with a gaze that seemed to kill me for being so cute.

‘Looking at me like this, the person looks different again…’ … .’

Was it because of the atmosphere of a luxurious restaurant? I felt something similar to elegance on Seong Ji-hyeon’s face. Does it feel like you are dealing with an aristocrat who was unique from birth?

By the way, how did you penetrate my mind? Could it be that this woman… … ?

“Aren’t you thinking that I might be an awakened person?”

“Cough… ?”

“Don’t be too scared. I’m just an ordinary person… … . Um, yeah. I just want to sincerely repay Mr. Sihoo.”

Seong Ji-hyun blurts out the word ‘ordinary person’. Although she verbally told me not to be scared, her attitude actually made me even more concerned.

“Oh, even so, isn’t this place too expensive?”

“Phew, Sihu, you really don’t know anything.”

“Yes? I don’t know anything… … ?”

Seong Ji-hyeon smiles with a harmless laugh.

You don’t know anything? I’m sure I had accumulated some prior knowledge about the reverse world before joining the academy, but could it be that I forgot something?

ㅡTap, click… !

When I looked like I didn’t know what was going on, Seong Ji-hyun waved her hand behind me. It was a hand gesture as if calling someone.

“Yes, lady. Did you call me?”

Then, a woman in a black suit approaches Seong Ji-hyeon and bows her head. Judging by his appearance, he didn’t seem to be a restaurant employee.

“Please check if the wine I ordered separately last time has arrived.”

“Lady… ? You’re still at work… … ?”

“It’s okay. Because I’m only going to have one drink.”

As I was listening to the conversation between the two,

It was like Seong Ji-hyun’s personal secretary.

If not, it’s a bodyguard… … .

“Yes, if you really say so… … .”

No matter how you look at it, he bows his head to Seong Ji-hyun, who appears to be a bodyguard, and then retreats.

‘The salaries of workers at large corporations here exceed hundreds of millions of won? The business card clearly says I’m an employee, but are you saying I’m personally using someone?’

By the way, what about wine all of a sudden?

Are you really planning on having a daytime drink?

What should I do? I’m not good at drinking… … .

“Ah, Sihu? You were very surprised, right?”

“Yes? No, well… … .”

“Let me formally introduce myself again. My name is Seong Ji-hyeon, the youngest daughter of Seong Geon-hee, the founder and chairman of Seongsam Group.”

“Yes, four… … ?!”

“By the way, Mr. Sihu? Do you like alcohol? It’s better if it’s wine.”

Seong Ji-hyeon asked me a question with a smile on her face, without giving me a chance to be surprised.

It was a pure laugh that contained no malice whatsoever.
