episode_0013

The infirmary has a slightly pungent alcohol smell for some reason.

There, Hyeji and I opened our eyes almost at the same time.

Since we were both half-asleep, neither of us could figure out what was happening and just stood there blankly.

Looking at my physical condition now, I am lying face down on the bed and sleeping.

Damn it, my back hurts so bad.

He released the hand he was holding with Hyeji, stretched his stiff body, and started to relax.

Hye-ji, who still hadn’t regained consciousness, was staring at her left hand.

Then, as life slowly came into his eyes, he started to get surprised like a cat that had been splashed with water.

“Ah? Ah? Ah! Ah!”

“Did you sleep well, Hyeji?”

However, Hyeji did not have time to answer my questions as she pointed at me and spoke intermittently.

“Hey! You! Why are you holding my hand!! ”

“You told me to catch you yesterday! Please don’t report me! I didn’t do anything!!”

“Huh?…Ah…Ah, that’s right. That’s right. Yeah.”

I almost got into trouble.

The main character gets hit with the MeToo movement in just 13 episodes.

Suddenly the comedy novel drifts to ‘But I didn’t do it’?

no.

please.

I made the bed with Hyeji, who had come to her senses.

Since there was no one there, I left the infirmary and went back to the dormitory.

Hyeji’s movements seemed somewhat stiff, but I ignored them.

‘I guess he’s growing taller like he said.’

As soon as I returned to the dorm and washed up, I saw the books I had borrowed before.

At that moment, I remembered the librarian who had been talking about the return deadline.

And then a thought occurred to me.

‘Oh, it’s overdue. Shit.’

I went to the library, paid the overdue fine, and came back to try to get some sleep.

But, as if to crush my hopes, I received a call from an unknown number.

“Who are you?”

– “This is Professor Miran.”

“Why?”

– Student Kim Shin-woo. Do you remember the remark about job discrimination during yesterday’s training session?

I try to recall my memories.

If it’s job discrimination, it’s clearly the fact that supporters were seen as tools.

“Aren’t you just going to let it slide?”

– “Student Shinwoo, you have to do some volunteer work at the academy today because of that.”

“No, isn’t that too much for a student who just got into a fierce fight?”

– “Come out quickly. If you keep doing that, you’ll be at a greater disadvantage.”

It was a voice that was full of personal emotions.

Just in case, I blurted out what I suspected.

“To be honest, it’s because it’s arranged, right?”

– Come out.

‘That’s right. You son of a bitch.’

In the end, I spent the whole day on Saturday, when I was supposed to be resting, volunteering at the academy.

Tidying the flower beds. Cleaning the bathrooms. Helping with the dining halls. Cleaning the dorm hallways and stairs. Walking the dog.

You might think the ending is strange.

But what to do?

The current reality is that restaurants ask me to take their dogs because they have more experience in the academy than me.

However, when I first saw it, I didn’t know it was a puppy.

That would be true

“Pig?”

The puppy was so fat that it was difficult to tell it from a pig.

Judging from the barking sound, it seems like it’s a dog.

As I was dragging the puppy along, I started to have meaningless thoughts.

‘They say that military dogs are higher in rank than soldiers in the military, so do I have to salute them every time I see them?’

But for a moment, the puppy collapsed from exhaustion after walking a few steps.

And he gave me a look that told me to hug him and carry him.

huh.

어림도 없지, 개새끼야.

I started to drag the puppy that refused to come.

Then the puppy got up again and started walking.

As soon as we finished our walk and arrived at the restaurant, the puppy came back to life and ran towards us.

It was a dog that immediately put its head into the trash can.

‘Is that a pig or something?’

Anyway, the volunteer work is over.

I went to the convenience store and bought a lunch box and cup ramen to solve my meal.

While I was calculating, I saw someone selling lenses behind the clerk.

ah.

It’s each.

As soon as I thought about using it tomorrow, I impulsively bought one.

Jeong Ah-yeon.

You’re behind.

***

On Friday, I sent a brief message to Jeong A-yeon via messenger.

[Maid outfit with green miniskirt. White stockings.]

[10:30 a.m. Sunday. In front of a restaurant. The answer is hi! The speech is polite.]

And the day of the final battle came.

Around 10:30 on Sunday morning.

Jeong Ah-yeon came to the restaurant dressed as I told her.

A green maid outfit with a short skirt and white frills on the sleeves and skirt.

Even the white stockings to match.

I came wearing everything without missing a single thing.

Hyeji and I saw that sight and laughed more vilely than ever before as we entered the restaurant.

Hyeji and I entered the restaurant and sat in the center where we could be seen by people.

And then I looked at Jeong A-yeon, who was entering the restaurant, holding onto the hem of her skirt while trembling.

“Ugh! This pervert!”

“Don’t worry. It’s just the beginning.”

“That’s right. As Shinwoo said, now is the real deal.”

Jeong Ah-yeon held the hem of her skirt with one hand and pointed at Hye-ji with the other.

“You fell for Prince Shinwoo too? Did you already fall for another man before this woman!”

“I’m a woman too, you fucking bitch!”

“Should we start with respect?”

“….Yes, Master. Please speak.”

Take a breath.

And then I screamed with all my might.

“Hey! Jeomsoi! Here’s a carbonara!”

“……What?”

Jeong Ah-yeon asked back with an expression on her face as if she had heard something she shouldn’t have heard.

“Didn’t you hear, Jeomsoi? I’ll say it again. Here, make me a carbonara!”

“Shinwoo Gongja, will that be enough? Hey, Jeomsoi! Rose pasta and steak medium rare! ”

“Stop it! Jeomsoi is in the guest house! No, Jeomsoi doesn’t wear clothes like this in the first place!”

“Oh, if you get an order, you should say ‘Hi!’ Isn’t it almost lunch time?”

“….hishibal.”

Jeong Ah-yeon gritted her teeth and went to place her order.

But a moment later, he came back to us with a more dead look on his face than before.

“….It’s before lunch time now, so you have to order through that device.”

“Oh my! It’s time for the lucky brunch. What bad luck. Lady Hyeji, I’ll be back soon.”

“Shinwoo Confucius. This is what you should do with a dot. This kind of experience is what evolves a dot into a dot.”

“Gal!!!!! There is no such word anywhere in the world!!!”

“Oh my! That’s why you can’t evolve. Hurry up and order through the kiosk.”

This time, Jeong A-yeon chewed her lips as she placed her order at the kiosk.

Jeong Ah-yeon was pressing the kiosk screen with bloodshot eyes and blood flowing from her lips.

Then, I sneaked into the student cafeteria to eat and got scolded by the professor for breaking the machine.

Of course, the professor who was caught was dragged out without even finishing his meal.

Does the professor come to the student cafeteria?

You have no conscience.

We started eating the food that Jeong Ah-yeon had brought.

Of course, Jeong Ah-yeon has no share.

Jeomsoi has to work.

‘I think you bowed your head earlier, but you didn’t spit, did you?’

I felt a bit uneasy.

At the same time, I had a bad feeling that Jeomsoi was playing with the food.

I said this while looking at Jeong A-yeon while eating.

“Jeom So-i. Do you know anything about martial arts?”

“Please speak.”

“The volcano faction’s hwa actually uses the character hwa (火).”

Jeong Ah-yeon gritted her teeth once again.

“I think you’re mistaken, but the volcano faction’s fire isn’t that”

“So, the representative swordsmanship of Plum Blossom Swordsmanship is ‘Fire Arrow’.”

“Stop it!!!!!!!!!”

Jeong Ah-yeon grabbed her head and screamed.

Then, Hyeji, who was eating with her head down, clicked her tongue while looking at me.

“Shinwoo Gongja. Can’t you keep up with Meta? Why are you so obsessed with the old swordsmanship?”

“Miss Hyeji. Would you like to speak?”

“After the emergency patch, ‘Fire Arrow’ was nerfed, so ‘Plum Blossom Plum Blossom’ is used.”

“As expected, since it has the energy of the volcanic spirit Undine, it doesn’t even flinch at the nerf.”

“Don’t insult martial arts!!!!!!!!”

Jeong Ah-yeon glared at me and Hye-ji as if she was going to kill them.

Meanwhile, a muttering sound was heard from the table next to me.

She was Jeong Ah-yeon’s older sister.

She was muttering with bloodshot eyes like Jeong Ah-yeon, clutching her head.

” Undine is the spirit of water.

Yeah, no.

Today, it’s the wind spirit Salamander and the water spirit Gnome.

If you keep doing that, I will show you the realm of the Volcano faction, the Plum Family True Fire.

I patted Jeong A-yeon’s shoulder, who was still in shock, and made her look at me.

And he handed me the lens he bought yesterday.

The color of the lens was red.

“That should be enough. You’ve worked hard. This is a gift for your hard work.”

“Well… Since it’s a gift, I’ll gratefully accept it. But isn’t there only one? ”

“Oh, just put one on. Put it on the left.”

“Okay.”

Jeong Ah-yeon put on the lens I gave her on her left eye.

Then, Jeong Ah-yeon’s right eye became its original color of green and her left eye became red.

At the same time, Jeong Ah-yeon is currently wearing a green outfit.

The preparation is perfect.

“What does this mean?”

“That’s just a preparation for entering a kind of teaching.”

“Teaching?”

Jeong A-yeon showed interest in the word teaching.

I spoke calmly so as not to make a mistake.

“A tribute to the warrior who once fought with green in his right eye and fire and blood in his left eye.”

“Oh! Is there such an uninhabited island?”

“Rather, he is more famous in modern times. Probably, there are few people who don’t know him.”

“This girl is still lacking in teaching. She doesn’t even know something like this.”

I grabbed Jeong A-yeon’s shoulder, who had a slightly gloomy expression, and said.

“It’s okay. I just found out about it recently.”

“Thank you for comforting me.”

“More importantly, the martial arts and swordsmanship that he taught us still remain.”

“What is it?”

At those words, Jeong A-yeon’s eyes lit up and she clung to me.

I quietly distanced myself from Jeong Ah-yeon, telling her to calm down.

“They are called the Act on the Right to Kill and the Act on the Inspection of the Body.”

“It seems to have a profound meaning.”

“That’s right. So when you perform this martial art, you have to change your spirit.”

“What should I do?”

You shouldn’t laugh.

Let’s not laugh.

He showed superhuman patience, controlled his facial muscles, and spoke calmly.

“It is called Gui Gui (九二九二) because it means repeating 92 movements 92 times.”

“Okay, I see. Grilled grilled!”

It was Jeong A-yeon who suddenly struck a martial arts pose and shouted out her spirit.

“Good job. But you need to be a little more energetic. Especially the ‘gu’ part.”

“Okay, I understand. I’ll keep that in mind.”

Jeong A-yeon said to me with a serious expression while taking the lottery ticket.

I continued speaking while avoiding Jeong A-yeon’s gaze.

“Compared to Siljang Kwon, Siljang Geombeop is a relatively new martial art.”

“Is it a derivative?”

“That’s right. The person who started it was Kim Katt.”

“You’re a foreigner, but you seem to have a Korean last name?”

Jeong A-yeon asked me a question.

“He said it was because his roots are Korean.”

“Okay. Then where is he now?”

“You naturalized in Korea and now use the name ‘Kim Geun-tae’.”

“I thought martial arts had died out in Korea, but I guess it’s been revived.”

Jeong A-yeon, who had been nodding her head as if she was impressed, soon made a face as if she had calmed down.

“I will go straight to the training ground and train. Thank you for teaching me good lessons.”

“We fought, but it’s over, so let’s let go.”

“Thank you. I think I was so wrong for thinking so narrowly.”

“If it ends well, it’s good. Anyway, you work hard too.”

I extended my hand to Jeong Ah-yeon with a friendly smile.

Jeong A-yeon also did not refuse and shook my hand.

Then suddenly, Jeong A-yeon looked as if she had remembered something and asked me a question.

“Oh, could you tell me the name of this unmanned person?”

“He is someone who has become famous worldwide relatively recently.

He avoided Jeong Ah-yeon’s gaze that was looking at him with longing eyes.

Because if I saw it now, I thought I would really burst out laughing.

“That’s why we called him CHAMPION.”

“I see.”

I hummed softly with my eyes closed.

“However, he omitted the word ‘ON’ because he said he was not qualified to stand above others.”

“What do you mean by a humble attitude? I still have a long way to go.”

“That’s why we call him CHAMPI..”

“Champion….good sound.”

Jeong Ah-yeon repeated the name over and over again.

And before leaving the restaurant, he looked back at me.

“Thank you, Confucius Shinwoo. Thanks to you, I have attained enlightenment.”

“Okay. Let’s meet again next time, stronger.”

“I understand. I will do my best to follow the path of the champion.”

“You worked hard today. Thank you for your hard work.”

As soon as Jeong Ah-yeon completely left, a message came through Messenger.

Tool [You crazy guy! You package it like that?]

Me [Hey, what the heck? Is this working?]

Tools [How come people’s names are so funny.]

Me [But where did you go? Why are you talking to me through text?]

Hyeji [I ran away because I was afraid you’d get caught selling drugs.]

Hyeji [KuiKui is fucking awesome. She was so fucking chewy there.]

Me [Honestly, I was a jerk, but it worked.]

Before I knew it, Hyeji came next to me.

It seems that Hyeji’s escape was the right answer, as Hyeji’s clown is still ascending.

Otherwise, I would have been caught already.

“Shinwoo, how long do you think that will last?”

“But won’t it last a week? That kid seems to be more stubborn than me.”

“If I find out the truth, I’ll really come kill you.”

“It’s okay. If you fight again, it’s okay.”

Then Hyeji glared at me with sharp eyes.

“I’m a support and a tool, so it’s right for me to ‘do it’.”

“…Isn’t there a problem when the supporter says it himself?”

“Oh, shit.”

There wasn’t much planned after that.

Since there were no books in the first place, I decided to go to the training ground with Hyeji and test her equipment.

After submitting my application and getting it approved and getting the training system up and running, one question arose.

“Hyeji, but weren’t you originally only able to implement weapons and armor?”

“Huh? Right?”

“But how did you make that lump of metal you had last time you fought? That doesn’t count as a weapon.”

“I just did it because I was thinking of doing it……huh?”

It was only then that Hyeji noticed the discomfort.

Suddenly, Hyeji took out all the firearms in the training room to test out this and that.

When implementing one rifle, parts made of plastic were replaced with entirely metal as before.

It was a little different when I actually touched the gun, checked every nook and cranny, and implemented the abilities.

All non-metallic parts of the gun have also been implemented.

This time, Hyeji held the gun upside down and began to use her ability with the buttstock facing forward.

Then a small lump of steel appeared at the end of the buttstock.

“What is this? What is this? What is this? No, this is okay?”

“Hey, what’s wrong? It’s a bit different from the ability you mentioned last time? ”

“Wait a minute! Wait a minute! This ability has changed a bit!”

“Fuck. Why am I the only one who’s incompetent!”

“From today on, call me Hyeji-Mark 2.”

There were quite a few changes compared to the abilities I had used before.

I tried several experiments and summarized the changed abilities.

1) In the case of weapons that are directly touched, even non-metals can be implemented.

2) Metals whose structure is known can be implemented even if they are not weapons or armor.

3) It is possible to implement it to the extent that there is no limit on the number of implementations due to the large increase in horsepower.

4) If chemical weapons are implemented, they can be used as is.

Even though the duration was the same, I didn’t care.

Hyeji was so excited that she expressed her joy by jumping up and down on the spot.

“Oh my god! I can now use the flamethrower!”

“Give me a flamethrower too. I’ll be a fire-wizard.”

“You are a match made in heaven.”

“…Somehow, it’s a name that sounds like it’ll get you arrested.”

Hyeji stretched out her hands toward the sky with an ecstatic expression.

It looked just like something from the movie Joker.

“Anyway, thank you. Why did your abilities suddenly evolve? I didn’t even think about it.”

“You piece of shit, stop ticking.”

After discussing the matter with Hyeji to some extent, we came to a conclusion.

The conclusion was that perhaps, it was because he had to demonstrate his abilities in extreme situations that he had grown.

‘There may also be a psychological element to revealing one’s true feelings.’

Hyeji, who was excited by this, kept touching and implementing the weapon without thinking.

In a way, it is natural that I used my abilities more than the number of implementations written on the application.

In the end, we submitted our reasons on good terms.

“…I watched it?”

“Anyway, use it.”

What the fuck.

In the end, the statement of reasons was submitted.

The reason was written as, ‘I apologize for being incompetent.’

Hyeji, who was smiling brightly, bought me dinner, and I ate two more menu items without complaint.

So I broke up with Hyeji and returned to the dormitory.

‘Obviously, there must be a special use for looking at these numbers.’

There is a world of difference between knowing the fact of regression and actually doing the regression.

In that sense, increasing the number is at best a half-baked ability.

I could roughly guess what the other person did.

However, it is not possible to hit the target every time, so it is an extreme game of wits.

Of course, even if you know that you have regressed, whether you can cope with it or not is a separate matter.

Damn, I’m so jealous of Hyeji.

No, I’m happy. I’m happy.

He buried his face in the pillow and fell asleep.

The wet tip is probably not due to tears, but rather saliva.

maybe.

***

I entered the classroom on Monday morning just in time for class to start.

But as soon as I put my head in, a lion suddenly flew in to greet me.

◦ Fucking a fuck!

Oh, right.

Got caught.
