by adminAt that time, An Yu-min stood on the podium at Theia Academy, which he had longed for.
Theia, where many elite awakened people have gathered. She was the one representing the new students.
“There’s still some time left until the entrance ceremony. There is no need to be too nervous.”
An employee of the academy administration looked at her and said.
Her expression must have inadvertently hardened. She answered hastily.
“Okay! You won’t make a mistake, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
At those words, the administrative office employee nodded as if trusting him.
“As expected, Aigis’ party hall is different. Then please take care of me!”
With a grin, the employee walked away. An Yu-min let out a small sigh.
“Ha…”
It is a very honorable position.
This is the first step in going beyond being a named hunter and chasing after your mother, who was called a hero. So, you might be nervous because of that trembling heart and pride.
In fact, An Yu-min knew that that was not the case.
I glanced around at the freshmen gathered in the auditorium. Easy to recognize even from a distance. The golden sun was not visible.
‘condition. I said I passed.’
Song Xia said. So, as was his usual habit, Lee Jun-woo seemed to be late.
In fact, I was surprised that I even took the test again.
I know that Lee Jun-woo’s attendance and practical performance are bad. In terms of Aigis’ volunteer activity scores. I’m sure it wouldn’t have been difficult to go on to higher education.
‘Maybe… my grades were worse than I thought. Because Lee Jun-woo is an unfaithful man.’
But for some reason, I felt uneasy.
I thought that maybe those bad grades were due to myself and Aigis activities.
But An Yu-min shook his head.
‘That can’t be possible. And somewhere else… I guess it’s because I’m meeting Aigis’ female fans and other women.’
Still, I felt some uneasiness and doubts. I’ve been holding it these days.
Of course, that was the time when Lee Jun-woo was expelled. An Yu-min thought.
He is unfaithful and only reveals women. Geum Taeyang uses even his hero activities to relieve his obsession with women. Getting kicked out of the party is definitely the right answer.
If it’s that shameless Geum Taeyang.
Rather, the time you spend on Aegis will decrease, and you will have much more time to meet women freely. I thought you would be happier.
It was contemptible.
Shameless lechers who reveal themselves to women were extremely disliked. Ahn Yu-min was someone that even ordinary men simply hated.
It’s because of her mother, Joo Eun-ji, whom she respects the most.
Hunter and Joo Eun-ji are now quite forgotten compared to their former fame. Hunters have heard that name at least once. Young people don’t know much.
Joo Eun-ji made a big mistake as a hunter.
An Yu-min’s mother was deceived by a villain and handed over information about a secret operation. I even loved that villain.
So the operation almost failed.
Joo Eun-ji later found out that the man was a villain. He risked his life to make the operation a success.
Because of Joo Eun-ji’s reputation and accomplishments, the mistake was quietly overlooked.
His mother took full responsibility for that mistake and left the hunter world.
And the villain who deceived her mother was An Yu-min’s father.
‘You can’t trust men.’
So, it was An Yu-min who instinctively hated men.
Even when Lee Jun-woo first approached me. Of course I was very wary. He was even a golden sun. The rumors at the high school were also bad.
However, even though he treated her so coldly, Lee Jun-woo always approached him.
The idea that you shouldn’t get close to men hasn’t changed. At some point, she was waiting for the time to train with Lee Jun-woo.
Inside her, Lee Jun-woo’s presence grew little by little.
And, when Lee Jun-woo confessed to himself.
That day, my heart was really pounding. However, An Yu-min could not accept that confession.
A promise I made with my mother. Because of that promise that I would never date a man, at least until high school.
Unlike her mother, she had no interest in men at all. My mother was always anxious.
I had the experience of falling for a man and ruining not only myself, but also the operation with my colleagues. The daughter did not want to go down that path.
I made a promise to reassure my mother. I decided not to pay attention to men.
Of course, I said I wouldn’t meet a man at the academy either.
My mother said I couldn’t do that again, so the promise extended to high school.
I drew the line saying that dating would come after that.
‘But after graduation…’
I was surprised that I suddenly thought like that.
Although I didn’t know my feelings at the time. Still, I feel like I can reconsider that confession after graduation. I heard this from Lee Jun-woo.
But let’s reject that confession. Lee Jun-woo began to change.
‘When I first asked to create Aegis, I didn’t know what that meant.’
Even though he rejected the confession, Lee Jun-woo did not leave his side.
Rather, I even formed a club with her to do hero activities with a just cause.
‘So I believed it.’
However, all that was said was a lie.
The true intention is Aigis’s hero activities. It was to hang out with new women who were not his own.
At Theia High School, Song Si-ah and Ha Ye-eun, who were known to be pretty, were admitted to the club. And he spent much more time with those two people than he did with himself.
An Yu-min saw clearly.
Lee Jun-woo, who speaks kind words to Song Si-ah. At the same time, he even claims to be a manager for Ha Ye-eun’s broadcast.
Every time, my stomach felt strangely upset.
Of course, there is no way a selfless man would devote that much devotion to women.
Lee Jun-woo even secretly met Aigis’ female fans.
‘As expected, what my mother said was right. Men… men are beings that should never be trusted.’
Just before I withdrew him, he was always late for Aigis’ activities and handled everything in a haphazard manner.
And during his hero activities, he sometimes acted viciously against people who asked for help.
An Yu-min couldn’t stand it any longer.
– Lee Jun-woo. I’m going to make you withdraw.
It was right to kick out a man like that right away. A man like that would never fit in with a just hero who saves people.
I was confident that I would never regret that decision.
***
But now, two months have passed since I kicked him out.
An Yu-min was confused.
The hero activities she was so proud of were starting to falter. Strangely enough, I haven’t felt any joy from my recent hero activities.
The hero’s heart for people still remains the same.
Every time I do something. Every time I worked desperately, I received more and more criticism. Whether from the person she went to help. Either on the internet.
‘Not too long ago, back then…’
D+ level villain Dark Snake. Of course, I also missed the villain who I thought I would apprehend easily.
The guy escaped through Ha Ye-eun’s gap. It wasn’t just the nun’s fault.
An Yu-min, if only she had focused more. And… if operator Lee Jun-woo had remained in the party. That mistake would never have happened.
No, he denied that fact.
No matter how capable a man is. I couldn’t continue working with an unscrupulous man who was far from a hero at all.
‘Lee Jun-woo…’
That moment. When Aigis finds the missing Dark Snake again.
Memories of returning to that first place flashed through my mind.
“Sorry. Is this the villain you guys were trying to catch? But what should I do? I caught it first.”
As if by a twist of fate, Lee Jun-woo happened to be there.
“Why, why are you here?”
And the words I inadvertently shouted at him. But Lee Jun-woo was looking at himself with a very calm expression.
I ran into her, the person who kicked me out of the party.
– Let’s see how well you do without me. Because you will definitely regret it.
Lee Jun-woo certainly said that on the day he was expelled.
It’s as if being exiled doesn’t matter anymore. And it seems like he understands them. He smiled and answered her with a kind expression.
“Why are you here? If there is a villain, the Hunter must catch him no matter what. You’re a hero, right?”
What he said was not a lie.
His clothes were a mess. During Aegis activities, unlike them, their clothes were never that messed up.
Incompetent. Although I received training from a paladin. As an awakened person, it was as if he had almost no fighting ability.
So even when we go out on hero activities together, we’re always operating from the back. So, I was only responsible for tactical command.
‘It’s the first time I’ve seen something like that outside.’
So, that messed up look. Very desperately. It was unmistakable proof that he did his best to deal with that villain.
‘Even after leaving Aegis… did you continue to work as a hero?’
Although he is a D+ level villain. For Lee Jun-woo, the powerful enemy that feels taller than a huge building is Dark Snake. He would have to risk his life.
However, he seemed to have no sense of accomplishment or excitement at having defeated an overwhelmingly powerful enemy.
Just calmly. He delivered the villain’s new recruit to the association’s hunters who arrived a while later and quietly left.
Just leave a word to Aigis.
“You guys worked hard too, right? Well then, have a hard time.”
Aegisni who banished him. I could have just cursed. No, even if the meaning was the same, it could easily be compared.
But since I was young, I heard it from my mother countless times. Villains and those with malicious intent. Even if you can act that facial expression. You can’t hide your cloudy eyes.
But his eyes looked calm. No, it was a look in their eyes that really worried them.
‘Perhaps… I may have misunderstood Lee Jun-woo?’
That’s what I thought for a moment. And those thoughts continued to increase my anxiety.
If that was really the case, he might have made an irreversible mistake.
“Let’s go. Guys.”
So An Yu-min left the scene as if running away. That was just 10 days ago.
After that hero activity, Aegis’ public opinion became very negative. Hero activities receive many privileges from the Hunter Association. The aftermath was severe.
In particular, the swearing from the local community was tremendous. Even Ahn Yu-min, who, unlike Ha Ye-eun, does not care about community opinion, was stressed.
Ha Ye-eun, the patient with the disease of interest, took a break from diving for a while.
Song Xia also comes from a strict family. It seemed like he had been criticized quite a bit by the guild.
“The 20th Theia Academy entrance ceremony will begin in a moment!”
And then the voice of the entrance ceremony host was heard.
‘You need to come to your senses.’
Although my mind was complicated. She is the freshman representative. I had to concentrate.
But at that time, as she looked at the cadets gathered in the auditorium, her gaze stopped at one place.
‘Choi Hana?’
I saw that female cadet with long black hair.
Even though we were in the same class. She cannot be called a friend.
No, rather, it ignites a sense of competition as a hunter and as a fellow woman. The person who seemed like a strange rival was none other than Choi Hana.
And then I saw a man talking to Choi Hana.
‘Is that Choi Hana?’
Choi Hana is a person who is famous for not talking well, not only with men, but also with other female cadets. I was surprised that there was a man talking to Choi Hana like that.
‘Wait… no way, who is that guy?’
Blonde freshman. The skin tone is not completely light, but it is not dark enough. So I hoped it would happen.
I recognized it the moment I saw that face.
‘Lee Jun-woo? Why is Lee Jun-woo with Choi Hana?’
It was Lee Jun-woo. And it seems like they already have a good relationship with each other. The conversation continued.
‘As expected, it was like that. That bastard… there’s no way he’ll change.’
I left Aegis. Now it seemed like they were targeting Choi Hana.
Hana Choi has a personality that doesn’t fit in well with the cadets.
So it wasn’t as good as Aigis. I, Choi Ha-na, was someone who was talked about a lot among students because of her appearance.
I got angry for a moment. Somehow it felt different from before. It’s like I’m really boiling inside. I felt angry, like my stomach was burning.
It wasn’t like this when Lee Jun-woo caught Dark Snake.
‘Why with that Choi Hana…’
But then, the host of the entrance ceremony called her name again.
“Miss Yumin? Now is the time to start declaring new students.”
“Yes…? yes Okay!”
An Yu-min came to his senses.
But the sight of Lee Jun-woo and Choi Hana talking together. Choi Hana, who is always expressionless, is smiling lightly.
It didn’t leave her mind for a while.
My hands suddenly trembled. Even now, standing in front of the podium, I felt a terrible sense of defeat.
