The last group training of the first semester has ended.

No, it wasn’t just the first semester.

This group training was also the last for instructor Lee Su-yeon.

‘Now all that’s left is the final exam. There’s nothing more to teach.’

Before entering the horse section for training.

Instructor Lee Su-yeon gathered the Hunter class cadets and taught them all the precautions for dungeon missions.

In particular, Group 1 entered the most dangerous section.

She passed on all of her knowledge as a military hunter to Lee Jun-woo, the leader of the first group.

“Well, actually, I don’t have anything more to teach Junwoo.”

I muttered to myself like that.

She was currently out in the backyard of the liberal arts department building.

I recently quit smoking again after I started working as an instructor.

“Phew…”

Cigarette smoke seeping out from beyond Sooyeon Lee’s lips.

That sigh represented her feelings.

Suyeon Lee submitted her resignation letter to the academy’s headquarters.

So, all that is left to do as an instructor is to participate as a safety supervisor for the first semester final exam in a week.

Of course, we will do some supplementary training for the final exam during that week.

Since there is a big exam called the final exam, cadets also need to take care of their physical condition during that week.

Su-yeon Lee did not plan on doing too much training.

‘It’s the first semester. It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do.’

During my time as an active hunter.

The companion party I was with was wiped out.

It was not that long ago, a few years ago.

Suyeon Lee, who still had that trauma, left the front line and changed her job to an instructor at the academy.

There were many hunters who hated being an instructor.

She was very affectionate and took great pride in nurturing cadets, so becoming an instructor was her calling.

But I couldn’t continue with that at the moment.

– Instructors who do not agree to the new contract will not be able to remain in Theia.

Instructions came from Theia’s board of directors.

It was an official letter regarding the renewal of the instructor’s contract.

[13. Instructors affiliated with Theia will be affiliated with the Apostle Foundation of Valhalla, which officially sponsors Theia.]

[14. The ranks of instructors belonging to Theia follow the same regulations as apostles of Valhalla.]

Those two new conditions have been added.

To put it simply, this means that the Theia Foundation, which was a separate corporation, will become part of the Apostles of Valhalla.

And it meant that the instructors belonging to him had to be completely loyal to Song Yu-hwan, Sado’s master.

‘I have no intention of being loyal to that person.’

Instructor Lee Su-yeon also did not come from a major guild affiliated with the Apostles.

There was no lack of skill.

Her parents are unknown awakened people.

As such, he could not be recommended to the Apostle-type guild, which places great importance on background.

Of course, since I gained fame during my time as an active hunter, I was also scouted by an Apostle-affiliated guild.

In the first place, Lee Soo-yeon did not like Song Yu-hwan.

‘Unless you were an Apostle-type hunter, you were only considered an accessory.’

The reason her party members were wiped out.

This is because Sado’s party members who were on the mission together at the time did not play their role.

Lee Soo-yeon desperately asked for salvation as she saw the dying party members.

Apostle of Valhalla.

Those elite teams just looked at themselves like bugs.

“Dismissal-”

Thinking about that past, I got so heated that I inadvertently crushed the cigarette.

No matter how famous Theia’s instructor is, he has no intention of adding more work to Song Yu-hwan’s dog.

Above all, Theia after the foundation change was not the Theia that Sooyeon Lee knew.

Whether a cadet with a regular guild background.

Whether they were cadets from underworld backgrounds, Theia provided equal opportunities for education and training.

However, in the future, Theia will turn into a training institution for Valhalla’s apostles.

‘I definitely don’t want to help that apostle.’

So I was able to submit my resignation without any regrets.

It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t worried about what would happen after the fact.

Unless you leave for a foreign country, there is no option in Korea today.

In Korea, Song Yu-hwan has already taken over all real power.

Although one major underworld organization and Crimson Teeth remain.

Once Song Yu-hwan is finished taking over all power in Korea’s political world.

After Song Yu-hwan declares a war against villains on a large scale, he will use that war as propaganda.

‘Then discrimination will become even worse.’

Apostle of Valhalla.

To a world ruled by a small number of elites.

Lee Soo-yeon almost got angry again.

I quickly calmed down.

Her work wasn’t important right now.

The ones she was worried about were her cadets.

“Say the final exam…”

My last job as an instructor had to be completed.

All teaching work is finished.

The safety supervision role of final exams is also important.

I had to help the cadets in the Hunter class complete the exam well.

With those grades, it will be easier for Hunter class cadets to transfer to other academies.

“……”

As expected, I tried to act calm.

When I think of the cadets in the Hunter class, I couldn’t help but feel sorry.

She alone could not help the cadets remain in Theia against the apostles of Valhalla and that large group.

Even if you stay without transferring.

Just like Sooyeon Lee did.

I won’t be able to do anything other than act as a hunting dog for a former Sado cadet.

‘okay. So that the kids can get good grades. And my job is to write a proper letter of recommendation based on those grades…’

And there was one more thing to do.

She recalled the information she had obtained in her mind.

Something might happen in this final exam.

‘That cadet named Yoon Geon-woo. Dangerous. The apostle of Valhalla… had the same look in his eyes as that elite team.’

So Soo-yeon Lee made an appointment with a cadet.

A cadet who repays her trust more than anyone else.

‘You proved the necessity of a liberal arts major… I’m proud of it.’

And because I am now doing the work for Lee Soo-yeon that she could not do.

He was a cadet whom I personally valued very much.

“Instructor? You came first.”

The cadet with a familiar voice called out to her.

And in that joy, Su-yeon Lee hugged the cadet, Jun-woo Lee, without realizing it.

***

“Instructor… Instructor?”

I was embarrassed.

I had an appointment with instructor Lee Su-yeon, so I went out to the backyard of the liberal arts department for a moment.

She was there and said hello.

But I never thought that he would hug me so suddenly.

“……”

Suyeon Lee still had no answer.

Of course, her clothing was also a problem.

The weather has entered early summer.

So it’s not off shoulder.

A thin tee that significantly exposes the neck, collarbone, and upper body. And she was wearing tight jeans.

I couldn’t help but be embarrassed because he hugged me so tightly.

‘If you do this, you’ll feel… strange.’

Instructor Lee Su-yeon was very popular among the cadets.

His personality, which is famous as an instructor, is an obvious reason for his popularity.

But what was more important than that was because of Lee Soo-yeon’s appearance and body, just like now.

Some freshmen from other departments often mistook her for a cadet and tried to get her phone number.

Soo-yeon Lee suddenly hugged me tightly.

I never thought of her as the opposite sex, but of course I couldn’t stay calm just because she was me.

“Instructor… Instructor… Over there?”

“Sigh… I’m sorry… I… I didn’t have the strength… to kill the kids in the Hunter class… Ugh…”

Now, out of nowhere, I started wailing loudly.

But, to a certain extent, I understood Lee Su-yeon’s feelings from those words.

‘Well, I guess my feelings are bound to be complicated.’

Theia Academy is prestigious.

And regardless of the cadet’s background, the diploma was a tremendous honor and helped greatly in his or her future career.

Before the second awakening was successful.

It wasn’t for no reason that I despaired when I realized I had to take that additional entrance exam again.

However, in the current situation, it has become difficult for Hunter class cadets to graduate safely.

The only way to survive is to declare blind loyalty to the Apostle of Valhalla.

‘At least that doesn’t mean your parents aren’t part of the underworld.’

Like Jeong Si-woo, if your family background is from a dark family, you cannot remain in Theia.

So, for Lee Soo-yeon, it would be sad to see the cadets she was responsible for being forced to leave the academy.

‘He’s a good person.’

I patted her on the back.

Lee Soo-yeon is always cheerful and bright, so seeing her like this made me feel even more sad.

‘I also received a lot of help from the instructor.’

The reason I was able to survive in the magic section as a Hunter class cadet was because instructor Lee Su-yeon taught me all the dungeon information and precautions in advance.

Not only that, but the match before that.

No, I learned numerous attribute applications through her classes and training.

‘okay. Instructor Lee Su-yeon is someone I will need in my organization in the future.’

Because they were not affiliated with the Apostles, their popularity was relatively low.

She, too, was someone who could fully enjoy the reputation of a hero.

After this final exam, she will also leave Theia.

Rather, it is a resistance group that resists Song Yu-hwan’s dictatorship.

I also wanted to scout her as a member of the semi-student alliance I was planning.

‘But first… the current situation is difficult.’

If anyone were to see the scene now, they might misunderstand it.

It would be difficult to get caught by your girlfriend.

Fortunately, Instructor Soo-yeon Lee calmed down a little.

pulled away from me

“Mi… I’m sorry. They say people become more emotional as they get older. I guess I felt that way for no reason because I thought I had to break up with the Hunter class… and the kids in the liberal arts department.”

“No. Because I’m fine.”

I am now in my early 30s and look so young that I don’t even feel old.

The newly dyed brown and bobbed hair also went well with it.

But I tried my best to see her only as an instructor.

I was going to tell her what brought me here.

“The story about Yoon Geon-woo that the instructor heard about…”

“They were both here!”

At that time, a familiar voice was heard.

And I was shocked by that voice.

“Uh… Did anyone come?”

Instructor Sooyeon Lee said.

Soon, Hana Choi came and stood next to me.

Then he slowly extended his arm behind my back and poked my back with his finger.
