57 – Auto Responder (1)

When the series of incidents were roughly over, I was called into the principal’s office.

There, William, who was already waiting, greeted him with a bright smile.

“It was not a wrong choice to bring you here!”

tapped on the shoulder.

“hahahaha, no big deal.”

“no. If it wasn’t for you, I’m sure there would have been a big accident. Not once, not twice! You’re protecting our academy. How should I repay this favor… … .”

Principal William bowed his head 90 degrees. I said urgently with wide eyes.

“Hey, wake up. principal. I just did the obvious thing.”

Anyone who sees this scene will be shocked.

An 80-year-old old man bowed his head to a young man.

That, too, is William, who holds the position of principal of the academy.

‘Is this going to happen like this?’

It wasn’t something I did for the academy.

I just needed to hear information from Lee Ji-sang.

However, the principal seemed to have a different idea.

“If someone’s job looks easy, it means that person put in a lot of effort.”

William was delighted to see if he liked his own quote.

‘Something’s tough.’

I felt pretty bad.

“I contacted the media.”

“Yes?”

And the ominous became a reality.

I stood still and looked at William with an absurd face.

“… what now?”

“The media will come soon. It’s an opportunity to publicize the status of our school, and we can’t miss it, can we?”

“Yes?”

William let out a hearty laugh and tapped me on the shoulder.

“Prepare for the interview.”

‘f*ck! Also!’

My intuition has never been wrong.

**

[I just thought I should save it… A righteous man who saved an academy cadet.]

The news anchor opened his mouth with captions.

“hello. This is MBT news anchor Jeong Bo-ra. This is amazing news. Korea is still a good country to live in. It would be great if we could deliver only news like this in the future.”

The anchor said, suppressing his emotions as much as possible.

However, the voice was a little more exasperated than usual.

“The academy mine incident that happened today. It was the assistant professor who saved the cadets in danger. He said that as soon as the cadet was in danger, he moved his body first. Let’s connect the cycler who is out in the field. Let’s give it?”

The broadcast screen was changed, and there was a reporter standing at Hallym Academy.

“Yes, this is Hallim Academy. As if the news had already spread, many reporters are waiting in front of the academy.”

-Has Seonghyeon-bin Han still not showing up?

“Yes, that’s right. According to an insider, he expressed his desire to pass quietly, saying that anyone would have done the same.”

I was dumbfounded, so I burst out laughing and fixed my gaze on the smartphone screen.

‘f*ck. How can this be?’

Most of what the reporter says is not what I said.

Everyone, Principal. That was what the inspiration said.

It wasn’t enough to call the media, it was to express my position on behalf of me.

Well, fortunately. My opinion that I want to pass quietly was reflected.

It didn’t seem like the reporters would leave easily.

– Let’s listen to an interview with a cadet who was on site at the time. hello?

– … hello.

-Beep

I got up quickly from the sofa.

A familiar face appeared on the air.

– Can you explain the situation at the time?

– that… Mine suddenly appeared and took a classmate hostage. Just in time, our assistant teacher was Shia… no. You stole a friend’s gun and hit the mine correctly! It was great!

I wiped my forehead and stared at the screen.

‘Chaewon, why are you here?’

He is the usual shy younger brother.

Of course, to appear on the air on a day like today!

‘Isn’t this a hidden camera?’

– You must have been very surprised. Then, what kind of person is Han Seong Hyun-bin?

– Uh… .

Chaewon blushed and hesitated, then raised a small thumb.

– … cool.

Chaewon’s short words made the reporter look embarrassed.

And the screen changed.

– … Yes, thank you for giving. We have prepared a video material for further explanation. Let’s see it with an expert. hello?

At the same time as the anchorman’s words, the strict-looking man was caught in the camera angle.

– Nice to meet you. This is Kwon Chang-hyeok from the Hunter Rank Discrimination Committee.

– nice to meet you. Let’s look at the material right away.

As soon as the anchor’s words were finished, the situation at the time was broadcast without filtering.

Due to the nature of the academy practice, combat materials are recorded at all times.

Thanks to you, it is also used as a video material like this. I felt refreshed.

– … That’s amazing.

– What surprises you?

– I took the gun and pulled the trigger without even getting ready. It even hit Mine. This is impossible even for a high-ranking Hunter.

– That means… ?

– It’s out of human scope.

The anchor looked at the man with a surprised expression.

– Yes, I’m starting to get more curious. We hope that the hero who saved the academy will show up soon.

I couldn’t see it and pressed the hold key on my smartphone.

‘I can’t do it. I’ll have to express my position directly.’

interview chapter.

I frowned because of the innumerable flashes.

‘I’m going to go blind like this.’

“Wait! Then what happened!”

“Are you saying you have ties to a criminal organization?”

“Han Seong Hyun-bin! Please look over here!”

“Stop closing your eyes!”

“What color are your panties!”

‘This, what the f*ck… ! Why do you ask about the color of the panties!’

I didn’t want to do it like this, so I decided to cut off the flow.

– Boom!

I threw the mic sky high. Mike crashed through the ceiling and disappeared.

At my splendid performance, reporters forgot to press the shutter and opened their mouths.

A moment of silence, without missing this gap, spoke intensely.

“I will retire.”

From today, Han Sung Hyun-bin fell behind.

**

[Breaking news. The hunter world is heating up with the news that Han Seong-hyeon-bin, the main character who prevented the academy massacre, retired with the debut.]

“professor?!”

Chaewon saw the news and jumped up.

“Someone told you to get up from the table.”

“Oh no, not that. Our professor… ”

I said I didn’t know anything.

“professor? why?”

“He was my favorite professor. What happened?”

‘Whatever happened, I’m leaving.’

You won’t be able to see it forever.

It seems to have come to a conclusion in a hurry, but it was the result of some thought.

I have nothing more to gain by holding my professorship.

She solved the group that bullied Chaewon, and a reliable treasure named Yoo Shia.

And isn’t there a slave soon to come? His name was Lee Ji-sang.

“What am I going to do now? I still haven’t been able to say thank you to that professor. because… ”

… No matter how thick I was, I was reluctant to talk about this. He cut off his words and cut them off.

“Eat some rice.”

Chaewon raised her chopsticks with a dissatisfied expression. And I ate rice on purpose.

“yes. He’s not interested in me anymore. Oppa, it’s been chilly lately.”

Chaewon grumbles while eating.

The sticky rice sticks to the corners of the mouth.

I smiled and reached out to remove the rice paste.

It was then.

“… Seonghoon Han. what are you?”

Kwak.

Chaewon grabbed my arm tightly.

I looked at Chaewon with puzzled eyes.

Chaewon is always either blank or smiling, but now her expression is terrifyingly expressionless.

“What?”

“What, what.”

I had only seen my brother’s angry expression in my previous life.

It was a look I never wanted to see again, so PTSD was about to come.

‘f*ck… What else have I done wrong?’

“Tell me!”

“… no, what the hell!”

Following Chaewon’s gaze, I found out why she was so angry.

‘It must have been scratched earlier.’

There was a cut on my right wrist. His white shirt was stained with blood.

Clink.

Chaewon hurriedly got up and rolled up my sleeves. I could see the skin stained with black shapes.

‘… When did this happen?’

Actually, it’s a minor wound.

Even so, it’s S-class, and the only healing-related drugs I have are one truck.

… the problem is.

It was that Chaewon knew me as an ordinary person.

‘I’m tired. Damn, when did you get hurt?’

engaged in a hand-to-hand combat. It was a method I was not used to, and it seems that there was a problem in the process.

It was like kimchi soup from a shirt that I don’t know when it was buried. I should have been careful, but I didn’t realize it.

“hahahaha. Did you get hurt while cooking?”

“… … .”

“It is, it is, it is real. … Recently, I am interested in cooking with Mine.”

It was a time when he was talking gibberish and telling a story that even a monkey couldn’t believe.

growlingly.

Chaewon’s eyes began to fill with water.

“… !”

Patter.

In the end, I shed tears like chicken poop!

“Chae, Chae Won.”

“… Brother, what are you doing?”

“… must be wrong.”

But I also know that this statement is unreliable.

If it was a simple wound, the fact that it had black stains was proof that it had been attacked by a monster in the ‘monster’ category.

A situation where you can neither do this nor that.

I was thinking about how to make up for this, but Chaewon brought up an unimaginable story.

“You’re a porter.”

“uh?”

That was a very disconcerting statement.

“I thought it was strange. All the way. The store business wouldn’t work. How do you buy my tuition and expensive items?”

Chaewon said while crying.

“Did you always work as a porter? These days, the store doesn’t open often, and it’s always closed. It’s because it’s better to make money as a porter than work in a store. Because of me.”

Chaewon’s fingers trembled as she pointed to herself. The pupils were shaking without mercy, which made me very anxious.

I opened my eyes wide.

‘How can such a ridiculous misunderstanding… !’

The porter was a manual worker in the Hunter world.

It follows the hunter’s back and picks up japtem.

Among the existing part-time jobs for ordinary people, the hourly wage is the highest. If you set it high, you can get 500,000 won a day.

Instead, the War Label sucks.

There is even a saying that it is not a porter, but a hunter’s emotional trash can.

Now it’s misunderstood that I’ve been doing it.

“Did you think I would like it if I did that? I am not thankful at all.”

Chaewon’s now tear-stained face was so messed up that I was sorry to say anything.

Cold sweat ran down my back.

I want to say no, but there was no proper justification.

Filling the expensive academy tuition with one restaurant.

The recent frequent closure of the store.

… And even the forearm that was injured today. It is the peak of the fire dragon. I feel like a rat on the defensive.

“Chaewon. Just calm down… Talk to your brother step by step.”

Chaewon wiped the tears with her sleeve. I hugged her with a sad expression.

However, Chaewon immediately pushed me away.

And I shot it with intense eyes.

“don’t do it.”

“Yes?”

“Don’t be a porter. I can afford student loans.”

There could be no loans!

How do you get those fern-like hands to pay off that murderous loan?

That sounded so irresponsible. Even if dirt got into my eyes, there couldn’t be a ‘ㅅ’ in front of Chaewon’s name.

“You’d better kill me!”

“I warned you. If I see you being a porter even once, then I’ll hit the academy.”

“!”

‘… Good?’

No, this is not it.

I spoke calmly at first. I had to imprint that it was not.

He’s a pretty little brother who listens well. I had no doubt that he would calm down with just a few words from his older brother.

“Hey, don’t you know my personality? I can’t work for someone else. What is a porter?”

“… Then answer me.”

And that trust was broken in 3 seconds.

Behind Chaewon, who thought there must be invisible white wings, the darkness of the abyss appeared.

“What, what.”

“Paying for my tuition at a noodle restaurant that only accepts three groups a day. How my brother, a commoner, was hurt by a monster. Why do stores often close these days? And!”

Chaewon removed the ring from her ring finger. It was an artifact I gave you the other day.

“How did you buy this?”

‘… sh*t, how can you not answer anything?’

I used to think that I was pathetic, but today I was really pathetic.

… I never thought the aftershock would come like this for rushing in without covering my face.

“from now on.”

Chaewon said with a venomous expression.

“From now on, if you don’t answer via KakaoTalk within a minute, I will do it for you as a porter.”

I had an optical illusion that the world was collapsing.
