60. I hope I don’t pretend to know again in the future.

“Kkeuheugh…”

Mina Song. Tears run down her cheeks. Choi Joo-won’s cold words and his cold eyes pierce her heart like a dagger.

“Instructor… You taught me so passionately in the past… How can you turn around in an instant after you’ve been together for such a long time? At least, at least listen to the reason, please…Sniff…Please…”

Song Mina’s voice cracked little by little, as if her throat was choking. However, she begged without caring at all.

Choi Joo-won replied.

“If you really feel sorry for me, live out of my sight from now on. That’s the atonement for me I don’t care what the reason is. You’ll think that there was a reason you couldn’t help it, so please don’t come to me. My teeth tremble when I see someone related to that day.”

Minah Song shook her head.

“Instructor… The instructor I know is not such a cold person… hehehe…”

Song Min-a’s short cry and heavy moaning did not resonate with Choi Joo-won.

“You made me like this. I haven’t done anything for you I taught with all my heart and gave my all. I haven’t done anything suspicious or mean to you. That day, you couldn’t trust me because of the scraps of data, and this situation is the result.”

As Choi Joo-Won was about to leave, Song Min-ah hurriedly used magic to stop Choi Joo-Won.

[Lightning Chain]

Choi Joo-won, whose feet were bound, looked at Song Min-ah as if she was dumbfounded.

“Ha, what are you doing?”

Before long, Choi Joo-won lifted up the mana in her bare hand and took down her binding sphere.

-Kwachang-!

The binding gear was destroyed in an instant.

“Really disgusting. Are you trying to capture people using magic? Aren’t you going to listen to me?”

Song Min-a hurriedly poured out the story, fearing that Choi Joo-won would leave.

“My father is the guild leader of a high-level guild. Has he ever said that before? My father destroys everything I hold dear. My father tries to destroy it in the name of making me weak if there is an object, animal, or person I depend on.”

-Sniff

Song Mina kept her tears and runny nose flowing, but she didn’t even have time to wipe it. She said quickly.

“The day you left, I was truly sad. I thought the instructor must be misunderstood.”

Choi Joo-won shouted as if he was dumbfounded.

“Don’t talk bullshit. Didn’t you also send swear words via text anyway?”

Thousands of text messages sent to Joo-Won Choi. Letters of condemnation to die. If even one student had not sent a message containing abusive language, there would not have been so many text messages.

Song Mina hesitated, then she spoke.

“I… I sent the right one. However, there was pressure from Hellmund Academy. President Baek Joo-seok and several lecturers said that students should restrain you by example. Even threatening that if I don’t send a text message, there will be a penalty.”

Joo-Won Choi spoke with her eyes narrowed.

“Ah, that’s what you meant. So, to put it simply, you said you did it because you were worried about your safety, right?”

I couldn’t help it. It’s easy to say. It can be embarrassing for both parties. However, from the point of view of the victim, that is not part of the job.

Even after she heard everything that her father could harm her if she got involved with Song Min-ah, Choi Joo-won listened to Song Min-ah’s story and supported her. Of course, because Choi Joo-won has enormous power, she really couldn’t have her father pose a threat to her life, but no one knows what problems she will have if she gets involved with a high-ranking guild leader. Nevertheless, Joo-Won Choi took this risk and embraced Min-Ah Song without paying anything in return. That’s why saying that it can’t be helped was something that Song Min-ah at least shouldn’t bring up to Choi Joo-won.

Song Mina sniffled and talked.

“I wouldn’t have acted like this if it was simply a threat from Hellmund Academy… But my father found out about your existence. I received counseling on my worries from you and learned that I depended on you. After that, my father persistently forced me to send text messages containing gossip and curse words about the instructor. He told me to find a way to get away from you and do it. He threatened to kill you if you didn’t. He said he would kill me like that old lady I depended on…”

Choi Joo-won heard Song Min-ah’s story and approached her to talk about her.

“Minah.”

A title without a surname. It was a simple change, but Song Min-ah looked at Choi Joo-won with her hopeful eyes.

“Don’t… Tell me, instructor.”

Song Min-ah waits for Joo-won Choi to speak with a tear-stained face. Joo-Won Choi spoke quietly to Song Min-ah.

“Minah, I understand. It must have been because there was something you couldn’t do. The reason why they didn’t trust me was because of the pressure from the academy, and it was because of my father that they sent swear words. I understand, I think I know very well that you have no intention.”

“A… Instructor, do you trust me?… Kkeuheugh…”

Song Min-ah, thinking that her true feelings had finally reached her, was thrilled and tried to hug Choi Joo-won. But.

-Koo Woo-wook

Choi Joo-won pushed her away with her two fingers as if touching trash.

“A… Instructor… Why… Why are you like that?… Yo… Didn’t you forgive me…?”

“No, Minah, you have to listen to the story to the end. I understand very well that there was a reason you couldn’t help it. Now that I have no feelings for you, let’s stop talking. Tired.”

“This… He said he understood… Whip… Instructor… He said he understood… Why are you looking at me like that…”

Choi Joo-won was looking at Song Min-ah as if he were looking at an annoying bug. He opened his mouth

“Since I heard everything about you, we are strangers now. Don’t come and don’t pretend to know me. Because I know you didn’t do anything wrong. I understand everything you said, so I won’t have any feelings from now on. Got it? Instead, we are now strangers.”

I was saying that I understood, but Choi Joo-won’s eyes were even more filled with hatred. He thought

‘I couldn’t help it. It had to be. I had to do that. It’s just a f*cking excuse from traitors.’

Finally, Choi Joo-won spoke.

“We are strangers now, I hope we don’t pretend to know each other again. I’ve never been your instructor. You’ve never been my student either. Let’s do it.”

“Hey… wait a minute…!”

-Paaang-!

With that said, Joo-Won Choi cast the Fog Magic. In an instant, a thick fog formed nearby.

[Search]

Song Min-ah hurriedly tried her magic, but Choi Joo-won’s reaction had already completely disappeared.

“Keep it…”

Song Min-ah felt as if she couldn’t breathe, as if her body was sluggish.

-Jureureuk

Tears flow from my eyes, and my heart beats like crazy. It is difficult to breathe, the head is dizzy, and the inside is nauseous.

“Kkeuheoeouk…”

Even one breath is short. Seriously, it’s hard to breathe properly. It wasn’t like magic. This is a temporary shock. It was a momentary shock that was so great that shock came.

“Keuhuhuh…”

Those who have suffered will know. Do you know when the saddest moment is when you fight with someone you truly love and cherish?

When he hates himself? When you get angry when to retaliate? No.

He was the person he cared about. When he became the person he loved more than anyone else.

When you become a complete stranger, neither hated, cherished, or anything else.

-We’re strangers now, I hope we don’t pretend to know each other again.

Because of the thought that the ties connected with that person have been completely severed, at that moment, I feel sadness as if the world is collapsing.

– Plop

“Heeuk… Heouk…”

The place where Choi Joo-won left, Song Min-ah exhales heavily.

-Unsung Unsung

People around her look at Mina strangely as she is covered in tears and out of breath.

-Tadadak

Song Min-ah hid from people’s eyes. No, to be precise, she ran looking for Choi Joo-won.

It was after Choi Joo-won’s biological reaction had already disappeared. However, she headed as her body moved. Her breath caught in her throat, but she moved. It was because she really felt like she would go crazy and die if she let go of Joo-Won Choi.

-Kwaaang-!

After running for a while using her magic, she entered an abandoned factory nearby.

Of course, Choi Joo-won couldn’t have been there.

“Haaa…”

“Quaaa…”

In a place where no one was there, Minah Song cried like crazy.

She suddenly remembered a conversation she had with Choi Joo-won in the past.

– Minah, the total amount of mana increased a lot this time. I am proud of you.

– What are you talking about! All thanks to the instructor!

– You’re flattering now. A lot has changed since I first came in. It’s nice to see that your expression has brightened up.

– Every time I had a hard time, the instructor listened and helped me! Thanks to you, I also learned to trust people

I think so. Oh, and did you know that I started donating as I watched the instructor donate?

– Oh yeah? It’s extraordinary.

– I will try to help more people in need in the future. If my father finds out, there will be an uproar, but he will do it secretly. Forever

Because I can’t live in my father’s shadow.

– Nice. If you have any difficulties, tell me and I will help you.

– Thank you. Instructor!

– You know, instructor… I should graduate from Helmund Academy someday, right?

– Um… Isn’t it? There are people who have been going for years, but it will be difficult to go for decades.

– If… If I leave this place… Will the lecturer and I become strangers?

– hahahaha, where did that sound come from? Even if I leave this place, I am your instructor. You are my student forever in the future.

Choi Joo-won, who cared for herself. Song Mina always loved his warm words and strong actions.

However, Choi Joo-won, whom she had just seen, felt like a completely different person from the image she had in her memory.

-We’re strangers now, I hope we don’t pretend to know each other again. I’ve never been your instructor. You’ve never been my student either. Let’s do it.

“Kkeuheugh…”

Song Min-a was crying as she recalled the conversation she had had over and over again. At that time.

-Kikiiik

I heard the door open.

“Choi… Instructor Choi Joo-won!”

Song Min-ah was in the aura of powerful mana, she thought that Choi Joo-won had come and she shouted his name. But. A familiar middle-aged man stood there.

“Minah. I came here after receiving a request for support from a broadcasting station and saw you by chance.”

Song Min-ah’s father. Song Min-cheol looked down at Song Min-ah and spoke in a cold voice.

“I guess I should explain to Abby what happened.”
