225 – Chapter 9. S-class reader (10)

The match was won.

Yun I-sun won, and Taejo lost.

The first S-class hero in 2025!

At Sejong Academy, he served the students as the president of the student body, won the A-class final at the Grand Sports Festival, and won the victory against Ahmad Taejo, an S-class reader.

It was truly an ideal S-class appearance.

A student who had been highly evaluated in a national educational institution, not only caring about himself, but also caring about others, developed a spirit of service, and rose to the S rank, which is one of only 8 students in Korea.

That too, by awakening during battle!

“Congratulations, Yoon Yi-seon. I…”

“Congratulations from the bottom of my heart. We met at the academy graduation ceremony the year before last, right? I…”

Yoon I-sun, who was invited to the celebration, was distracted by the greetings of numerous adults.

“hahahaha, I believed you would become S-class. Last year, while leading the student council…”

“Did you lead the students on Ulleungdo during the Duuksini incident? That’s amazing. Could that have been a trigger?”

“Until last year, I think I was an ordinary pyromancer, but since the beginning of this year, I’ve been working on the nine-tailed fox concept. Heh heh, ours are the best. I became an S-class with the power of Shinto Buri! hahahahaha…”

The only things to be put forward as a virtue are the contents that can be grasped in 5 minutes on the hero wiki, so Yoon Yi-sun gave a soulless answer of ‘yes, yes’ and looked around.

Still, everyone is confused.

If you look closely, there are too many government officials.

It must be embarrassing for them to see that the protagonist of this reception has changed.

“……Huh.”

No one expected Yoon Yi-sun’s victory.

On the placard that I glanced at, it seems that only the part ‘Yoon Yi-seon’ was printed out and hastily pasted on.

So Yoon Yi-sun was more excited.

I felt like I had splashed cold water on the expectations they had.

Of course, to those who thought that Armored Taejo would win, he directly showed the underdog to win.

– Yes, yes. sorry. I have failed your expectations.

-But what? Armored Taejo lost.

The thrill of victory is big from beating Taejo, but it was more about looking at the ambiguous eyes of those who thought he couldn’t win.

‘Is this the reverse or something?’

If you look at something like Hero Toto, it is said that there is a case of cardiac arrest after cheering and rejoicing when a reverse dividend of hundreds to one just broke out.

“hahahaha. Yoon Yi-sun. You know what? My son is a fan of Lee Seon-yang. Lee Seon-yang said he would win, and just told me to be a hero Toto girl.”

“Oh, really? Did you make any money?”

“Sure! hahahahaha. The money Miss Lee Seon made will be put to good use. Isn’t the student council running out of budget or something?”

“Wow. Thank you so much for caring.”

It was a bit distasteful to spend someone else’s bloody sweaty victory for money play, but in other words, it made me feel better because they believed in their victory.

Having someone cheering you on gives you a lot of strength.

-Okay. you always win If your faith falters, trust me. I can bet my entire fortune that you win.

-What if I lose?

If you lose even with a -1% chance, you have to train again until you win again. Okay. you can lose But if there is a personal wish of mine, I would like to win clearly this time.

-You are saying something that will never let you down.

“……after.”

like he believed in himself.

She was able to win thanks to the support of idols who believed in and supported her from the first awakening, no, even before awakening.

buzz buzz.

While I was lost in thought for a while, people started to stir.

“…uh.”

Yoon Yi-sun was at a loss for words at the sight of a young man with blonde hair in a white suit approaching from the entrance.

“Uh, Taejo…?”

“Congratulations, sister.”

Armored Taejo, the man who was defeated by Yun Yi-sun, appeared at the reception.

Even in front of the woman who had knocked him down, he smiled casually and raised his glass.

“You’ve become an S-class, but you know I’m a senior in terms of being an S-class, right?”

“…Suddenly honorable?”

“I don’t know if they’re weaker than me, but if they’re stronger than me, it’s only natural that I respect them if they’re older.”

“…….”

Was it the young man who brought out the King of Iron Blood and treated it with a solemn voice and shouted at everyone?

Whether the shock of the defeat was great or if manners were injected, Yoon Yi-sun was not sure what.

“This is true. I thought that the S-class gatekeeper was doing it right. I never thought it would break through like this. hahahaha.”

“…….”

“Why is that? You can straighten your shoulders a little more. You won.”

“That’s Taejo?”

“I’m fine. Rather, I’m relieved.”

Taejo spread his hands upward and shrugged his shoulders.

He dared to make a big motion that could have been done lightly, and he just smiled.

“I’m well aware of my shortcomings, so next time I won’t lose. Oh, are you worried about being angry or unpleasant or something? Don’t worry. There’s no such thing. Instead.”

sigh.

“If there are class A’s who think they’re proud just because I lost and will challenge again, they’ll suffer a lot.”

“Then you can get pushed to 9th or 10th.”

“…Ugh.”

Hearing the woman’s voice from behind, Taejo’s expression hardened.

“Seo, Seolhee sister? Why are you here…”

“What is it? Can’t I come here?”

“Oh, no. You don’t like places like this.”

“Congratulations should be congratulated. A new S-class is out.”

Baek Seol-hee raised her glass and raised it towards Yoon Yi-sun, winking.

“Congratulations from the bottom of my heart. And as a forewarning, don’t pay attention to what other people say.”

“Yeah?”

“Some say that he only has strong firepower at the moment, or that he is S-class only when he transforms. All of these things are because he is jealous of you.

“……All right.”

Yoon Yi-sun nodded heavily at Baek Seol-hee’s words.

Even if it was only here right now, there were people who were whispering towards her from behind.

“It’s okay. I’ve been through a lot of things while working at the student council.”

“Then I’m glad. Oh, yes. Someone I know asked me to pass it on.”

Baek Seol-hee’s expression hardened for a moment, but then she opened her mouth again with a wide smile and flipped a glass at Yoon Yi-sun.

“They say your awakening is very pretty.”

“…Acquaintance?”

“Yeah. There’s a tsundere who’s very far-fetched.”

“……ah.”

I thought I knew who it was.

As much as Yoon I-sun had some guesses, as much as she knew something about Ymir, she immediately recognized who Seol-hee Baek was talking about.

“I’m just grateful.”

“What. I’m more grateful. Can I call you comfortably? You can call me me, unnie as well.”

“Yes, sister.”

“Yes. Then…”

Baek Seol-hee’s smile deepened.

“No way, you don’t intend to just stay in 7th place, do you?”

“…….”

somewhere.

Yoon I-sun began to feel something like a tail wagging behind Baek Seol-hee.

I guess it’s because of my mood.

“A strong S-class colleague is always welcome. I want to become stronger. Fufufu.”

“…….”

Baek Seol-hee’s smile made Yoon I-sun sincerely goosebumps.

There were many people who tried to use themselves in this banquet hall, but it was the first time I felt like they were trying to use themselves so innocently and without malice.

Could it be that you are aiming for retirement?

I thought that for a moment, but Yoon Yi-sun shook her head and smiled.

“Of course. I will become stronger. Please help me a lot, sister.”

Pregnancy retirement is Platinum Sun, Ymir’s.

[Teacher, if there is anything, please contact me. I’ll run right away.]

“It’s overseas. And if you come to what you’re talking about, it’ll be difficult.”

[…….]

“I understand your concerns, but it’s not okay if you can’t.”

Ymir called me with a worried voice, but I declined Ymir’s favor.

“It’s enough that you handed over some of your mana to me… It’ll be 3 minutes soon. Mir.”

[Yes, teacher.]

“As long as I’m gone, take care of the house.”

[Sure. Have a safe trip.]

pop.

The phone is disconnected.

After taking off the Taegeuk watch, I threw the Taegeuk watch into the basket on the desk.

And.

“It’s been a while. This heavy feeling.”

He wore an analog watch, not a Taegeuk watch.

“…….”

What I didn’t wear when I went out as librarian Do Ji-hwan, or couldn’t wear it.

Even after a cataclysm, the watch of the top brand still occupies a super high-end position.

“…It’s a Nautilus that I haven’t had in a while, but something new is new.”

“Perhaps it’s because I’m used to it. If I go to Phuket, it will be the same again?”

“Aren’t you going to change into a suit?”

“Um, is it more awkward? I’d rather just be normal. Think of it as wearing a mask and tell me.”

Gung-gi, Yoon Hye-ra pulled on my suit tie and smiled.

Apparently, as she is going to Phuket with me this time, Hye-ra Yoon seems to have caught the edge.

“I came out wearing a hanbok, but I just have to say a little.”

“What is it? Are you treating me as a lady wearing a hanbok? A concept like that?”

Yoon Hye-ra giggled and moved one hand to her face.

“While I’m on my way to Phuket, is our Jihwan acting as my driver?”

“I think it’s better to treat it like before.”

“Um…then how should I call you? Ji-hwan? Or Manager Do? Isn’t that a bit too usual?”

“Aren’t we going to be newlyweds now?”

“Isn’t it? The newlyweds concept, right?”

“…No. Some Korean couples are going to Phuket for their honeymoon. Ulleungdo or Jejudo.”

“Wouldn’t it be different if it was 14 nights and 15 days in Phuket instead of Ulleungdo and Jeju Island 2 days and 1 night?”

Yoon Hye-ra’s eyes sparkled red.

“Since the chief has officially designated me as a partner, I won’t leave you alone for 15 days. Oppa.”
