“Can I talk to you for a moment?”

“You mean now?”

“Yes, now.”

It was when I was heading to the training center to take pictures of my second day at work that I received such a suggestion from Rachel.

I thought to myself that it would suddenly jump out and block my path.

Ah, he said, “After just one taste of my inner gong, I found out that my body was really sweet.”

Well, it wasn’t that strange.

When I was able to use martial arts for the first time, I was so overcome with emotion that I swung the sword all day long and even tried footwork for no reason.

Even I, who entered the world of Romance of the Three Kingdoms with the intention of learning martial arts from the beginning, would have felt the same way, but how amazing would it be for Rachel, who initially did not believe in the existence of martial arts, but succeeded in learning it with my help.

I don’t know, but it feels like I received a surprise gift.

So, it’s not that I don’t understand why she came to see me in person after getting so hot after just one day, but that wasn’t a reason for me to listen to her.

Basically, everyone in the world has something called the frog mentality. When you tell them not to do something, they want to do it more, and when they tell you to do this, they don’t want to do it anymore.

In other words, Rachel’s approach could have been a little wrong.

That’s because this kind of attitude is no different from lowering one’s own status to low.

‘Maybe it’s because I’m a soldier… I’m a bit naive.’

It’s not that there aren’t some naive girls among pretty girls, but they usually end up doing something called face value.

Is it because I have lived at a distance from society due to my job as a soldier?

Contrary to her pretty face, Rachel was a bit naive.

So it felt a bit refreshing… but I didn’t have any intention of looking into the situation.

“If you have anything to say to me, you can say it during training.”

That was why, instead of accepting Rachel’s interview request, he firmly drew a line and made a move that seemed to take a step back.

And my choice like that drew quite a reaction from Rachel.

Is it because I have almost never had the experience of asking someone for something in this way and being rejected outright?

As soon as I drew the line, Rachel’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

It seems that this case was not included in the picture she imagined.

‘Hmm, this is cute again…’

I know for sure that he is older than me.

Just looking at what he does, he feels younger than Ari, who turns 20 this year.

Of course, this was possible because the original version was a fraud.

Otherwise, if it looked normal or worse, instead of thinking that it was cute, I would have been like, ‘Ugh… stupid bitch…’ and just clicked my tongue.

“Then, see you at the training ground.”

I was thinking the same thing in my mind and acting as if I was going to pass by, so maybe I felt anxious for a moment.

“Now, wait a minute!”

With a voice that felt very urgent, Rachel reached out and grabbed my collar.

If you look at it that way, no more, no less, it was like a scene from a romantic drama, but the problem was that Rachel was an awakened person.

The problem was that since it had only been a day since the group was formed, they were awakened people who could not adapt to their physical abilities that had changed compared to before.

Buuuk!

The sound of something being torn apart echoed through the hallway where we were standing.

At the same time, a strange feeling of emptiness began to arise in my right arm.

Tuk-!

I thought I shouldn’t let me go like this, so I tried to catch him, but I guess I never thought something like this would happen.

Rachel, who had a very embarrassed expression on her face, hurriedly released the hand she had been using to grab my collar, but it was already too late.

Thanks to this, as soon as Rachel relaxed her hand, the ‘thing that was a collar’ fluttered between her fingers and fell helplessly to the floor.

“This is… So…”

As I was looking at the piece of paper that had fallen to the floor, I guess I didn’t know what to say.

Rachel’s eyes shook violently as if there had been an earthquake.

I opened my mouth with a bitter smile as I saw her clearly at a loss.

“I know. It must be a mistake.”

“···.”

“I didn’t mean to be sarcastic, so you don’t have to be so judgmental about me. When I had just awakened, I had a hard time controlling my strength.”

“···Sorry.”

“Okay, so let’s go inside first. I don’t think it’s a good idea to keep doing this here.”

“That, that…!”

“Yes?”

“Oh, no…no, nothing.”

.

I can’t believe I made this mistake.

I felt like I wanted to dig a hole and go in there.

To that extent… I was embarrassed.

I was so embarrassed that it was difficult to control my face getting hot.

Now, wouldn’t it be possible to roast something like marshmallows using your face?

That’s how hot my face was.

It was even more so because every time I took a step, I kept noticing Yoon’s badly torn right sleeve.

I might have been able to calm down a little if I hadn’t even seen it…

Regardless of her will, things like that kept appearing, so even if she wanted to calm down, she couldn’t.

‘Haa…you idiot…’

No matter how hard you try to build up a good image, it’s not enough, so you end up tearing off the other person’s clothes…

Every time a torn piece of clothing caught my eye, the man’s very pitiful look in her eyes (this may be a bit of a personal opinion) kept overlapping in my mind, making me want to run away.

‘That must be a very expensive shirt…’

Although she was a soldier, she came from one of the most prestigious families in the United States, so I could feel it just by touching her.

So I was even more embarrassed.

There are things you may have received from the government as a condition of acquiring American citizenship, so you might not care about that much money, right?

Well, is that really the case?

No matter how much money you have, the desire to care for your things is the same, right?

‘First of all… I have to do something about that first.’

Every time her subordinates looked strangely at ‘Yoon’, who entered the training ground showing off her sleeves that were torn in a very sharp shape and not some kind of game character, her face got hot, but she held it in and took out her cell phone from her pocket and quickly contacted someone. It was for that purpose.

‘I contacted you to get the same one, so I don’t have to worry about that anymore…’

All that’s left is to apologize to that man… but how should I decide the timing?

I wanted to apologize right away, but the situation was a bit ambiguous for that.

Not only were there more than one or two eyes watching, but the man also seemed not to want to talk about that topic any further.

But in such a situation, do you just push forward with her wishes?

If you do that, you may hear words of forgiveness, but that will be all.

It will literally end with just listening to the words.

Instead, you will incur a lot of animosity from the other party.

But is there any reason to overdo it?

If you’re going to aim for it, it would be better to aim for later rather than now.

So, I quietly pretended to focus on training and waited for the right moment to come, but today, as usual, ‘Yoon’ began to focus on her subordinates.

‘no way···.’

Is he doing that because he ripped off his sleeve?

Is it because that incident remains in his mind that he is deliberately ignoring her?

I had that thought for a moment in a similar situation to yesterday… but actually, I already knew.

At least that’s not why they’re doing that.

Rather than doing it because of that, he probably did it because it seemed reasonable in his opinion.

From Yoon’s perspective, it would be more beneficial to invest time in someone who has not yet achieved significant results and increase the number of success stories, rather than investing time in someone who has already achieved some level of success. .

It would be much more advantageous for him to boast about his achievements to the government.

I knew that he was acting like that for that reason, but even if I knew that fact, it was inevitable in human psychology to feel sad inside.

If I hadn’t paid attention to her from the beginning, it would have been a different story, but I couldn’t help but feel that way when she completely changed her attitude in just one day, even though she had paid such special attention during the first training.

That’s why I couldn’t speak more readily…

“Phew… Let’s just leave it here for today. Thank you all for your hard work.”

Meanwhile, time passed so quickly that it was already time to finish training.

“Then I will see you again tomorrow at the same time.”

I couldn’t stand it any longer and had no choice but to jump up from my seat and catch up with the man who was leaving the training ground.

“Hey, now that training is over, can we talk for a moment?”
