Became a Human Rights Advocate

30 – Episode 6. Yes?

＜6＞

How long has it been since you’ve been discharged from the hospital?

After a few tests, I sat in front of the doctor suppressing my nervousness.

“Did you say you trained your abilities before going to bed?”

“Yes.”

“And it lasted more than a month.”

A doctor who resembles a frog… Rather, the doctor who looked like an ordinary schoolboy raised his glasses once and continued.

“I almost died.”

“Yes?”

You almost died? Really?

“You said your sleep drastically increased from 2 to 3 weeks ago, and it has gotten worse lately.”

“… Yes.”

“And last night I finally bleed.”

The word “Finally” Cuts to the bone. Did you hear that I almost died? It feels like the importance of every word that comes out of the doctor’s mouth has increased several times.

“Si-Hyuk’s method of developing abilities was used only in the early days, and is not recommended for students these days.”

“… Is that so?”

The doctor nodded and continued with a short explanation.

After the Great Invasion of the Irregulars, humans actively studied their new powers, supernatural powers.

These studies, accompanied by human experimentation, achieved development of superpowers enough to be used in real battles, but at the same time, many victims were incurred.

The method I used was simple and effective, but the backlash was so great that it seemed to have gradually become a taboo method.

“Sihyuk may not know it, but about ten years ago, an incident commonly referred to as the Lost Child occurred in Academia. Since then, the practice has been completely taboo.”

Oops. A word came out that made my head dizzy.

I hurriedly changed the subject, feeling my mind wandering.

“So, what should I do?”

“First of all, it is best to get a good rest. If possible, don’t use the ability at all for a while. And I would like to recommend as a doctor to refrain from developing abilities in this way in the future.”

“… All right.”

“You can go out and get your prescription. You can take the medicine and watch the progress, and come back in three days. Oh, please tell the guardian outside to come in for a while.”

I went outside the doctor’s office. Joo Ji-young, who was tapping her laptop while sitting on a hospital chair, slightly raised her head.

“Are you finished?”

“Not yet. I think the teacher needs to go in for a while.”

“Is it a guardian call…. Yes, I’ll be back soon. Wait a munite.”

Joo Joo-young closed the laptop and put it to one side before standing up.

At Academia, where most students live in dormitories, guardians meant teachers.

I didn’t know Kate’s number, my homeroom teacher, so I called Joo Ji-young.

I don’t know if this is okay, but Ju Ji-young will take care of things. She didn’t, though she was going to seek counseling sooner or later for health problems, so she thought she would take this opportunity to join her.

But in Ju Ji-young’s situation, it’s going to be a bit of a heavy story.

Because they said that the student was close to the threshold of death.

Not long after, Joo Ji-young came out of the clinic. As I thought, her face was quite serious.

“What do you say?”

“… I heard a voice. It seems to be long, so to speak. Shall we leave at once?”

I nodded her head obediently and moved along with her Zhu Si-young.

When I went to the parking lot, Ju Ji-young’s large black van caught my eye right away.

As a teacher of the special department, she had to move several students or her materials depending on the situation, so she had no choice but a van.

The last time I went to the booster factory, I rode a van to get near my destination.

“I’ll go to school first. Or do you want to rest in the dormitory?”

“I’m going to the dormitory. I am still tired.”

“Yes.”

She didn’t say anything for a while in the moving van, then she opened her mouth as if she was struggling.

“Sihyuk.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Special department, it’s okay to quit.”

“Yes?”

Suddenly?

“At first, Sihyuk said you didn’t want to be in the special department…. But I wonder if I put pressure on you so you overdid it.”

“… Teacher.”

Hey Siyoung Joo, she’s seriously mistaken about something.

In the first place, even before meeting Joo Si-yeong, I was continuing her skill training.

On the day of the entrance ceremony, I went to the Central Tower Idea to catch the teacher’s eyes and enter the special department.

The day Ju Ji-young invited me to join her specialty department, she rejected the offer once for a different reason than she thought.

As Lee Si-hyeok, my sudden change in behavior might seem too suspicious, so I only put a little bit of leeway.

This is not Joo Ji-young’s fault.

It’s not just this time, it’s the same with the last booster factory.

As for other students, at least Jo Joo-young’s responsibility for me does not exist.

Because all the choices were made by myself.

In the first place, without me, there would be no answer to this department.

If you want to run a special department without Lee Si-hyeok, the teacher must have at least the ability to retry again and again.

That was possible because I was also a game, but it would have been impossible if not a single failure was allowed.

It’s not because Lee Si-hyeok is listening to human rights abuses.

“It’s the same as last time, and it’s the same this time, maybe it’s because I’m disqualified.”

“… Teachers have a lot of problems too.”

“hahahaha… I know. In fact, she took it a little light-heartedly at first, but from the start it was a mess and full of accidents.”

Joo Ji-young said that and she smiled helplessly.

From noble mtl dot com

Be light-hearted. Well, not even that.

Although Plato explained this and that to Joo Si-yeong, she did not reveal what the core purpose of the singular section was.

The fact that Plato set up a plan to foster the singularity as the hope of a new mankind is unknown to his teacher, Joo Ji-young, at this point.

From Joo Si-yeong’s point of view, she just took on her unusual teaching job where she could make use of her abilities.

She may have her own responsibilities, but she doesn’t even know that she has such a grand goal as ‘the hope of mankind’.

However, the successive events that befell Ju Ji-young were not as light as she thought.

Plato, who must have been a strong supporter, disappeared on the day of the entrance ceremony, and the board of directors interfered on the fictitious day.

In addition to that, a large number of students were injured in the monumental first operation of the Special Division, and today I was told by the doctor that my life was in danger.

For Joo Joo-young, every day must be a series of hardships.

“Well, it could be. Because people can’t be superhuman.”

“But, Shihyuk-.”

“I’m fine, sir. Because I made the choice.”

Joo Ju-young stopped talking at my words.

“And the rest of you, I bet that’s what you think.”

I remembered yesterday’s Suisei.

Students in the special department are not as young as Ju Ji-young worries.

I’m not as weak as I thought.

“… Is it really so?”

Joo Ju-young’s voice was trembling. She doesn’t look like a student in front of her, but looking back on her memories, ‘teacher’ was originally like this.

Especially the teacher at the beginning of the scenario.

Her abilities are excellent and righteous, but she makes mistakes in the beginning and often gets into trouble with her students.

In the process, she constantly struggles, struggles and grows, and eventually becomes the main character who leads the students to the right path.

That’s the teacher I remembered.

And Ju Ji-young will be like that too.

“You are also a beginner teacher. She can’t do everything right the first time.”

“… Sihyuk is a grown-up.”

That’s because I have 3 years more experience as her teacher than Siyoung Joo.

There is a difference of more than a year and a half even if it is limited to the time during the production.

No matter how much she passed through the game filter, her accumulated experience is different compared to Ju Ji-young, who has just passed a month.

I saw the dormitory before I knew it. I got out of the car thinking the same leisurely thoughts as being seen off by car for two days in a row.

“Thank you for the ride.”

“Yes, Sihyuk. Just in case you don’t know, think about the special department a little more-“

“No. I have no intention of going to a special department.”

I made a clear affirmation to Siyoung Joo, who hesitantly spoke her words once again.

I will somehow remain in the special department. When the day comes when Joo Ji-young tries to kick me out, I intend to force her to stay, even by clinging to her crotch.

“As I said before, I entered the special department because I chose it.”

“… Okay. Thank you, Shihyuk. After hearing your words, I have all the strength that even the teacher didn’t have.”

“That’s a relief.”

I said that and turned around. I was about to enter the dormitory entrance, but Joo Ji-young called my name from behind.

“Sihyuk!”

“Yes?”

“Check your e-mail before going to bed. I’ll send you some reference material!”

“What should I refer to-.”

Without listening to my answer, Joo Joo-young left with the black van.

I stared blankly at the van pulling away, then went back into the dormitory.

After returning to the dormitory, it wasn’t much different from my usual daily life.

There was a missed call from Baek So-so, so I called and briefly explained the situation.

After that, I was idle, and when it was time for dinner, I went to Cheonryonggak and met Baek So-so with a restless expression.

It looks like he came to see his face, as if he was worried, but he’s a nice guy in many ways.

After the two of them finished eating together, I left a greeting to see you tomorrow morning, and after parting with Baek So-so, I went back to the dormitory.

After taking a shower, I laid down on the bed and picked up my cell phone. Just as Ju Ji-young said, there was an email.

“… What is this?”

The content of the e-mail from Joo Ji-young was simple.

The URL, ID, and password of the site you are viewing for the first time.

P.S. The message I left reads, “You just have to look!”

What is it? I can’t even guess

Well, Joo Ji-young wouldn’t have told me about the strange site.

I entered the site with a light heart and entered my ID and password.

And after a while.

“… Wow.”

I exclaimed with my eyes wide open.
