by fnovelpia“…..Chulsu is hospitalized?”
It was just dawn when Eugene heard the news.
It was definitely a good day until yesterday.
I enjoyed a date with Lime for the first time in a while.
Even when I got home, I didn’t know the conversation would end.
We sleep like that, lying side by side on the bed.
I thought about starting another good day.
Until Secretary Park came in and delivered the news.
“Yes, I am currently admitted to a hospital near the academy.”
“Hmm, I guess I had a fight with someone again. They even gave me equipment so I wouldn’t get hurt.”
Eugene said indifferently.
Whatever it was, I was used to Cheolsu being hospitalized.
Cheolsu gets hurt every day like the main character of a light novel.
‘Maybe he was trying to help someone and got caught in a fight again.’
Cheolsu has that kind of personality.
This time, I will take a few days off from the academy and return soon.
I wonder if the number of days of attendance will be insufficient.
On the contrary, I was worried about that.
But today, Secretary Park’s expression is unusual.
“……They say it’s serious this time.”
“Serious?”
“You might die.”
Secretary Park said extremely dryly.
It was natural for him.
In the first place, to him, withdrawal was just one of Eugene’s words.
Eugene, who clearly recognizes Cheolsu as a friend,
There was bound to be a difference in the perspective of Secretary Park, who mistakenly thought that Eugene was taking advantage of Cheolsu.
The number of cards that could be used decreased – that was all there was to the feeling.
However, as we know the relationship between Eugene and Cheolsu to some extent,
I just try to be careful what I say.
“To die… … . Aren’t you misunderstanding something? Cheolsu has good grades at the academy and is good at using a sword.”
Eugene asked still in disbelief.
Perhaps because I was embarrassed, the polite words flowed out without me realizing it.
Secretary Park answered without bothering to point out that point.
“Three large cuts on the body. All are fatal injuries. It is said that it is strange that he is still breathing.”
Eugene looked blank for a moment.
To be honest, it didn’t really feel like it.
He knows Cheolsu’s strength better than anyone else.
Because we have sparred several times.
That’s not all.
I caught dozens of monsters with myself on the island.
He cut off the giant snake’s neck with a single sword.
Who on earth could hurt such a withdrawal?
“What happened?”
“They say it is still under investigation. First of all, I contacted the hospital in Heukcheon’s name. The hospital will also do its best. They say they can’t say for sure whether it will be possible to buy it.”
Clearly, the hospital is doing everything it can to save Cheolsu.
Even if you feel like you are being pushed out by Eugene,
From a personal perspective, Cheolsu is also a tremendous talent.
A genius swordsman who is said to be S-class in the future.
The reason why Cheolsu is treated so poorly is only because of the pressure from Heukcheon.
If Heukcheon allows it first,
Whether it is the Hero Association or the guild, they will not spare any support for Cheolsu.
However, the situation of withdrawal is so serious that the outcome is unclear even if that is done.
“It looks like my physical condition was not good. The doctors stayed up all night trying to save his life. The rest depends on his will.”
“… … .”
Eugene sat down on the bed without saying a word.
Honestly, it didn’t really feel like it.
death.
It’s already a world full of monsters and villains.
Maybe it’s an extremely routine thing.
In fact, Eugene also faced the risk of death in his own way.
The reason I didn’t realize it was,
This was because Eugene was strong enough to defeat them all.
When it came to my friend’s business, I felt my head go cold.
“Did you find the culprit?”
“……Still under investigation.”
“That investigation is not from Heukcheon, but from regular police, right?”
“…….Let’s find out?”
Heukcheon is the largest guild spread across the country.
Of course, his abilities and connections are beyond imagination.
When it comes to the commonly referred to ‘darkness’, it has a wider range than the Hero Association.
No, there are many strings attached to the dark sky, including the police and criminal organizations in the underworld.
If Heukcheon sincerely investigated, it would not be difficult to find the culprit.
“It’s okay to not overdo it. But please do as much research as possible.”
“Okay.”
They say things like that, but to Secretary Park, it is no different from telling her to risk her life to find him.
I was also confident that I would find it.
Of course, only if the other person is unusual.
‘…Does Eugene intend to go to war with the executives?’
The criminal who killed Cheolsu.
It is easy to deduce that it has something to do with the executives of Heukcheon.
The executives of the anti-Eujin faction thought Cheolsu was nothing more than a sword that Eugene kept.
To be precise, Eugene’s support led to that.
In fact, more than 10 pieces of information have been collected about the assassin who attacked Cheolsu.
Although they hid it well, if they followed behind, they ended up being connected to the executives of Heukcheon.
‘While you were sending an assassin to Cheolsu out of ignorance, did you get lucky and get caught by one?’
The reason Cheolsu was fine so far was because he was strong.
In any case, Cheolsu is competing with Eugene.
A strong assassin cannot even be a threat to him.
However, this time, Cheolsu was not in good condition,
To make matters worse, the opponent was bad.
Secretary Park interpreted the current situation this way.
‘Anyway, from Eugene’s ‘public’ perspective, he lost the precious subordinate he had raised. If you use this as an excuse to criticize executives, you can gain justification, utility, and even be evaluated as caring about your subordinates.’
Did they really calculate and plan this far?
Was it all for this purpose that he intentionally exposed Cheolsu to danger?
Secretary Park felt goosebumps rising on his back.
It’s literally the way Heukcheon would think.
The sense of wielding the given hand boldly and ruthlessly.
No one else dares to follow.
How far into the future is Kim Yu-jin looking?
‘As expected, the only person suitable to be the successor of Heukcheon is Eugene.’
With that in mind, Secretary Park bowed and left the room.
Eugene, who was sitting still, clenched his fists with a cold expression.
Contrary to Secretary Park’s illusions, he was more calmly angry than ever.

Younghee opened her eyes in the morning sunlight.
I wake up and rub my eyes.
After eating porridge and sleeping well as recommended by the class leader, I felt much better.
I turned my head and looked at the window where the sunlight was streaming in.
‘…….I want to see withdrawal.’
That was my first thought as soon as I woke up.
For a while, my head hurt when I thought about withdrawal.
For some reason, I even felt chills and fear.
The condition, the reason for which was unknown, had now quite recovered.
Now I actually wanted to see Cheolsu’s face.
I want to feel relieved when I see that face.
More than anything, I want to say I’m sorry to Cheolsu.
‘As expected, I was wrong.’
On the island, Younghee said something that would hurt Cheolsu.
Insult him, offend him, make him angry.
He even said he wished he were dead.
Why on earth did he say that?
I don’t understand it myself.
It was too strange to say that it was because I couldn’t control my emotions.
Of course, Cheolsu may have been a little offended that he saved the class president first.
Still, isn’t there a degree?
‘It’s too harsh to say you wish you were dead.’
I regretted it hundreds of times in my heart.
I think I blocked myself from saying those words dozens of times in my dreams.
But nothing will change if you regret it alone.
First, I had to meet with Cheolsu, talk to him, and apologize properly.
‘I don’t know if my apology will be accepted… … .’
To Younghee, Cheolsu is more precious than anyone else.
I hope he doesn’t get hurt.
I hope you don’t fight with Eugene because of yourself.
To achieve this, I am doing my best to pretend to hate him.
That doesn’t mean I want to hurt Cheolsu.
So it’s not like it’s a complete war.
‘As expected, let’s meet separately and say sorry.’
Honestly, I’m scared of how Cheolsu will react.
Still, I had to muster courage now.
If you apologize sincerely,
At least Cheolsu won’t have to blame himself.
Younghee knows Cheolsu better than anyone else.
Obviously, he still feels guilty about his mistakes.
Even though it’s all your fault.
He must be making an expression like he is in pain and can’t bear it.
Cheolsu hopes that doesn’t happen.
For his sake, I had to convey my true feelings at least for now.
‘……Let’s take a shower first.’
Suddenly, Younghee looked in the mirror and sighed.
The hair is sparse, the skin is rough, and the eyes are puffy.
I am confident that my face is not bad.
Anyway, this situation would freak out any man.
I can’t meet Cheolsu like this, not just anyone else.
Above all, isn’t this the first time in a long time since we parted ways on the island?
Let’s take a shower, put on makeup, and wear nice clothes.
Thinking like that, Younghee struggled to gather herself and get up.
It was when Younghee was about to go to the bathroom with a towel.
-Ugh.
Suddenly, the smartphone on the desk rang.
I checked the sender and it turned out to be the class president.
Come to think of it, the class leader took care of him until yesterday and then passed away.
Did I call you this morning because I was worried again today?
I also have to say thank you to the class president.
Thinking like that, Younghee pressed the call button.
Would things have been different if she had made up her mind a little sooner?
A few days were like hell for Younghee.
That was about to start.
