I Became an Academy Regular

Heart attack (3)

The cafe was quiet. Unlike the outside, you can feel the cool breeze as soon as you enter the door.

Originally, the cafe was crowded with people, but there were no customers except for one or two because it was the time of the preliminary round.

“What would you like to eat? I’ll live.”

Ryu Seo-yeon handed the menu to Arthur, who was sitting opposite him. Arthur had an ambiguous expression on his face when he received the menu.

“I’m not going to say anything about buying it, but… Can we talk in a place like this?”

At Arthur’s cautious tone, Ryu Seo-yeon tilted her head.

“Are we talking about a dangerous story now?”

“Then it doesn’t matter.”

“······Yes.”

I have nothing to say. Arthur recalled the memories of the past. I even received an apology to hide Ryu Seo-yeon’s identity…

‘Can I just tell you when Sir Beatrice asked?’

I feel embarrassed because the owner is like this. Arthur coughed and opened his mouth.

“Kuhm. Then I would like this please.”

“Yes. I’ll order and come.”

After a while, Ryu Seo-yeon returned from ordering and started talking.

“I have confirmed what Ryu Seo-yeon aspiring hero told me.”

“Ummm… how are you?”

“It’s in the records. A personality that gains strength in exchange for memory…”

“Also···.”

Ryu Seo-yeon’s face became serious. Because she thought her guess was correct.

Seeing this, Arthur recalled what had happened several months ago. When Seo Ji-han was seriously injured and did not return, Ryu Seo-yeon visited Arthur, who was in charge of the expedition.

At the same time, the shrine was investigating the use of the Holy Sword and its unknown power, so it was considered lucky that Seo Ji-han’s acquaintance came to visit.

A grade that has grown rapidly from this year for no reason. In addition, the ability measurement was not updated because it was pushed back after various accidents.

As only a B-class aspiring hero, he had no idea what kind of ability he got, so he caught a demon and was active when the necromancers attacked him.

Then I could hear it.

‘I said I lost my memory. From that point on, things have changed.’

Because Ryu Seo-yeon did not participate in the expedition, he does not know exactly what happened.

‘But if you try, you will know.’

It’s because Arthur’s mention of Seo Ji-han’s name in the conference room earlier is meaningless. If you tried to find it, you’d know he was involved. He took part in the expedition and dealt with a long stay. Doesn’t anyone see the tea? He is just blindfolded.

Arthur spoke carefully.

“Can I ask you just one thing?”

“No one knew that he lost his memory. Why did Ryu Seo-yeon, aspiring hero, tell him his secret?”

“I want him to quit aspiring hero.”

Ryu Seo-yeon uttered shocking words in a calm tone.

Did I say it out of malice? However, it was clear that the concern in Ryu Seo-yeon’s eyes was not the intention.

Ryu Seo-yeon paused for a moment before opening her mouth.

“Because the people closest to me seem to overlap with him.”

“If you were the closest person…”

As Arthur blurted out what he was saying, Ryu Seo-yeon continued with a grin.

“Yes, my parents.”

“They weren’t good parents, but they were respectable people. When my sisters came while they were busy, they didn’t frown, but somehow made time for them. As I got older, I started to understand them. I have a lot of responsibilities, so I had to give up some things. “

Ryu Seo-yeon thought of Seo Ji-han as she spoke.

Having awakened after losing their parents, at least they want to prove that their deaths were not in vain. It was the struggle of a straggler wearing a shell called the Awakened.

“It’s admirable to put aside other things and work hard for a goal, isn’t it? Seo Ji-han is that kind of person to me.”

After a while, a red blush appeared on Ryu Seo-yeon’s cheeks, probably because she recognized that she was making an embarrassing sound.

“Ummm. Please keep this story a secret.”

“Of course it is. But, as far as I know, Ryu Seo-yeon’s aspiring hero’s parents are…”

“Yes. He’s dead.”

Ryu Seo-yeon recalled a piece of memory.

A lot of things happened at the same time, so to keep the child’s mind, the memory is hazy. However, the upturning feelings I felt at that time are still vivid.

“They became more and more self-confident after becoming Awakened. The experience of overcoming the crisis encouraged them more and more. They didn’t even realize that it was unstable and precariously accumulating.”

don’t spare yourself Even in the midst of a crisis, he didn’t think he was going to die.

Seo Ji-han’s appearance now is the same as then.

“So I told you this after hearing that Seo Ji-han was injured on the expedition and nearly died. I thought I would die if I kept going like this.

“Sadam does this. What did the temple think about the deal?”

Arthur heard that and closed his eyes. In fact, it was because she wanted to meet her Ryu Seo-yeon again.

Arthur calmly organized his thoughts and told Ryu Seo-yeon the position of the temple that had already been decided.

“The shrine side is in the position of respecting the will of the aspiring hero, who has always been strong. Despite the speculation that he gains strength in return for his memories, in the end.”

“Then I will increase the donation that I promised to the temple.”

Ryu Seo-yeon spoke expressionlessly, but firmly.

“Please lock Seo Ji-han in the temple.”

“Hey, Ryu Seo-yeon, aspiring hero…”

Clink!

At that moment, a bewildered clerk’s voice was heard from beyond the counter. It looks like you spilled the drinks you were making.

The store manager who was nearby came out of the counter and apologized.

“Sorry to startle you, sir. I’m a part-timer now… I’ll get it to you as soon as possible!”

Arthur unintentionally glanced at the counter and turned his head. Her face was not visible as she was leaning over and cleaning it.

‘… rather than that.’

The question was how to appease this lady.

[*’Dale Card’ is showing ‘hate’ to you.]

I look at the screen and laugh. Even hatred for failing in the qualifiers. I expected this to some extent, so I put my smartphone in my pocket.

‘It’s sloppy.’

I understand that it is heartbreaking to lose to a junior in first grade. You will be teased by other classmates. Maybe it’s more of a sarcasm than a teasing. Because the tower’s member dropped out of the qualifying round.

‘Because I also lost to a class B, first-year junior from Earth!’

Each one of us is full of jokes.

‘Anyway, I passed the magic festival preliminaries with ease.’

The magic festival is an event where the match is decided according to the improvisation of the aspiring hero.

The condition to participate is to have the ‘attack’ magic. You can only attack the opponent using magic, and the method of attacking by strengthening the body is not allowed.

However, it is possible to strengthen the body and use it to evade magic.

Ultimately, participants fall into two categories. It is the type that uses simple magic to achieve victory by using physical abilities, or competes with magical powers at once.

In my case, it is correct to think of it as maximizing the power of simple magic. Frankly, I was surprised. I use [Ignite], but if I increase the amount of mana consumed, it will burn that hot.

The power of the perk is definitely a scam. The senior had defensive magic, so he wouldn’t have been burned.

‘For now, it is confirmed that three individual events will advance to the finals.’

Dalian, magic, shooting.

In the latter shooting system, there are not enough people to handle guns in the first place, so there is no qualifying match…

To be honest, I wanted to participate in something else, but the rest of the schedules overlapped and I couldn’t participate. However, even if you only take the above three rewards, it’s the same.

Now I have to take care of myself until the gym. Perhaps the tower’s wretched reprisals will come. It is correct to think that the treatment that Noah Park should have suffered in the original work was attributed to me.

‘It’s better that way.’

Park Noah, who has moved slightly towards evil at present, is hostile to her if she is rude. As with the system, Noah Park has been shown that she does not go well beyond the jealousy and oppression she receives.

If you quarrel, you will pay it back. It has become such a mindset.

Currently, Park Noah goes through several main quests and has a strength that is not suitable for the beginning, so if left alone, those extras will simply be wiped out. She had to avoid clashes as she might trigger another scenario change.

To protect the villain, I’m going out instead. It’s ironic.

In the past, I would not have been able to survive if such restraints were focused on me, but now that I have grown enough, there is no problem.

Anyway, if you want the tower’s executive level to move…

‘I’ll have to use Aiden’s chance, huh.’

Who is stronger than our Ellen Aiden!

Rather, Aiden suggested that we go exercise today. It seems that in the three months I collapsed, I finally got a taste for muscle training.

My position of contacting Aiden to exercise has been reversed, and now he is looking out for me.

‘Last time, that Po…, Ong did the same.’

The feeling I felt when my body touched at that time was unbelievably strong. It wasn’t just that I was weak because I was short of breath.

“Ehhh… I don’t want to do it because it’s hot.”

Maybe it’s because he’s a fire magician, so Aiden has a high body temperature. Still, he can’t help it.

I hurried back home to change clothes.

Swag!

The cafe door opened and Noah Park entered. The time for all the preliminary rounds coincided with Arwell’s time off work.

Noah Park confirmed that there were no guests and greeted with a lively voice.

“Rian. I’m here. Hello. Manager!”

For reference, it is safe to say that Lian Arwell does not have individual combat abilities, so he did not participate in all of the preliminary rounds. So, he took part-time work from the time the morning class ended until the afternoon class was over.

“Oh. Noah is here. Arwell is over there.”

The store manager looked at Noah Park, smiled and pointed to one side. There, Arwell rested his forehead with his interlocked hands. seems to be thinking of something.

“Why is Rihanna like that?”

“I think I’m going to reflect on what I bought earlier.”

“Huh. Did you have an accident? I’m sorry…”

As Noah Park bowed her back, the store manager waved her hand.

“No, why is Noah apologizing? It’s okay, so please take care of Arwell.”

“···Yes. I’m really sorry.”

Noah Park cautiously approached the table where Arwell was sitting. She seemed quite despondent as she hadn’t even noticed that she had come.

‘I thought I’d get better these days.’

You may become extremely introverted again as you used to. Noah Park patted Arwell’s back and spoke.

“Rian. Are you tired?”

“Ah. No, Noah-sama.”

Arwell raised his head, perhaps realizing that she had come only after hearing Noah Park’s voice.

Arwell looked at Noah Park with a worried expression she had never seen before. Seeing that expression, Noah Park stiffened for a moment and then said to Arwell.

“What’s going on? It’s okay to tell me. Is it because of a mistake?”

“···that is.”

Arwell grabbed his ear with a deep sigh. The developed five senses were very resentful at this time.

“What should I do if I hear something like something I shouldn’t hear…”

Arwell muttered as he pulled both of his ears with a weeping face.
