49 – Episode 10. Hypnosis treatment, the first.

<5>

“Sihyuk.”

“Yes?”

All of the devices that were covering my eyes and ears were gone before I knew it.

Joo Ji-young has already finished disassembling her devices and is carefully putting them back into her box one by one.

“It’s over.”

It’s over? I was taken aback by Joo Si-young’s words and looked at her watch.

It was around 11:00 a while ago, but now it’s 12:30.

In terms of experience, less than 5 seconds have passed, but in the meantime, time has passed like this.

“This is hypnosis… ?”

I don’t know if it’s because of her mood, but her hair feels refreshed and her body seems a little lighter.

I heard that hypnosis usually takes place in a state of extreme relaxation. Did that relieve tension in the body?

But aside from that…

“… Nothing seems to have changed.”

“That’s because the consciousness is asleep while under hypnosis. Treatment went well.”

Joo Joo-young, who had put the boxes back on top of the white board, sat down on the sofa across from me.

Joo Ju-young’s face was cold and expressionless, like a machina.

He must be extremely angry. ‘Teacher’ is a style that calms down when anger exceeds a certain level.

If you saw Lee Si-hyeok’s past, Ju Ji-young’s personality made it possible.

In Lee Si-hyeok’s past, it’s clear… , For sure… ,

What was it?

I can’t think of anything more than that.

She definitely knows there is something, but when she tries to think more closely, she stops thinking like she’s hit a wall.

According to my request, Ju Ji-young seems to have properly sealed her memories of the past.

“Then I’ll finish checking a few things.”

“Are you sure?”

“I will say a few words that will remind you of Si-hyeok’s past. If you were Shihyeok before treatment, these words would have definitely responded to something. Let me know if you feel anything strange.”

When I nodded her head, Joo Ji-young looked me straight in the eyes and opened her mouth.

“‘Lost-Child Plan'”

The Lost-Child plan. It was an incident that happened about 10 years ago.

A group called Kabbalah was discovered while kidnapping students and conducting experiments to amplify their abilities.

It seems that Kabbalah, which was a rather large group, has been shattered since then.

I don’t know any further settings. This is because they only spread rice cakes and didn’t tell the proper story.

But what does this have to do with Sihyuk Lee’s memories?

“How is it?”

“It’s nothing.”

“Then… test subject.”

A test subject?

“This time?”

“… Are you okay.”

What do you mean by a test subject?

“Kabbalah, laboratories, hostage taking, terrorism.”

“No problem.”

After that, a few more words followed, but my body didn’t show any change.

At this point, I couldn’t help but look suspicious.

“… Is that really a word that reminds me of my past?”

“Looking at the reaction, it seems that the treatment has become clear.”

… Is it?

As I continued to look at her strangely, Joo Joo-young sighed and stood up from her seat.

“Still, don’t try to remind me of the past. It is still only the first stage of treatment. I need to seal the memories a little more tightly.”

“Is the seal the end? Last time I faced the past-“

“Let’s talk about that later. Shihyuk.”

Joo Ju-young cut me off.

It seems that there was something in Lee Si-hyeok’s past. I don’t remember now

As expected, it’s best to leave complex tasks to someone else, to be precise, Ju Ji-young.

The main character of the original work will take care of it.

“… Sorry. I was a little nervous.”

After a moment of silence, Ju Ji-young apologized first.

“Well, he must have been tired.”

“Yes. Thank you for understanding. Are you going straight to the dormitory now?”

I shook my head.

“As I said earlier, I have work in the afternoon.”

“What about lunch?”

“I’m going to go and buy something to eat in moderation.”

“Isn’t being there in the afternoon something very urgent or something?”

I nodded.

“Then would you like to wait a minute? The teacher will make you a simple pasta.”

“Ah, until you need to.”

“I want to do it for you. Would you like to eat?”

“Thank you, I will eat.”

Money is solid and good.

At my answer, Joo Joo-young relaxed her stiff face a little.

Just like that, Joo Ji-young got up from her seat, put her hands behind her back, and tied her hair into a ponytail.

He approaches the sink in the corner of the office and skillfully prepares the dishes.

I stared blankly at the faintly visible fluff on Joo Si-young’s pure white nape.

A beautiful woman has a pretty neck.

… No, it’s not the time to think like this.

There is something she must ask Si-young Joo before leaving the office of the special unit.

“Ah, sir. I have a question for you.”

“What is it?”

“Have you ever heard of ‘Legend of Academia’?”

Joo Ji-young, who was turning on the light on her gas stove, shook her head from side to side.

“Hear it for the first time. What the hell is that?”

“It’s an old retro game, just in case you know.”

“… There’s no way you know that.”

From noble mtl dot com

Ju-Young made her face ridiculous and turned her head behind her with a sneak peek at her.

“Sihyuk. The teacher and you aren’t even that big in age?”

“I don’t know how old you are, sir.”

“… It’s twenty two Well, at Sihyuk’s age, four years old must be a big difference.”

Not really. A four-year-old isn’t such a huge generational gap.

By the way, how old are you? Twenty two?

“… Sir, you said she graduated from college outside the academia.”

“Yes, I even went to graduate school.”

“Can you graduate from graduate school at the age of 22?”

“Because I skipped a class a few times.”

Joo Ju-young spoke calmly and took out her chopping board and started cutting her ingredients.

… She feels that Joo Joo-young is an elite long.

Was it because her last failure was her first real experience?

Anyway, judging from Joo Joo-young’s reaction, it seems that he couldn’t even read my memory.

I wanted to add a little more baggage, but for a while, I think I’ll have to know alone again.

Will there ever come a day when I can directly tell Joo Joo-young that I know the future?

Will Joo Ji-young believe what I say?

… I don’t know.

Just imagining what will happen after that is a headache.

It might be best to just keep her mouth shut.

“Okay, that’s it.”

“Ohhh.”

I think it took less than 10 minutes, but a pretty plausible aglio olio was made.

Although Italians look frightened and look like they’re going to cough up blood.

“You put a lot of garlic in it.”

“Isn’t that great?”

“I am Korean too.”

Joo Joo-young smiled as I raised her shoulders as I answered.

Her smile was filled with regret, as if she was restraining her emotions somewhere.

There were few people in the morning as it was a weekend, but there were quite a lot of people when I left the office.

For about 30 minutes, people’s strange gazes were directed at me.

As soon as I figured out the reason for that sneering look, I ran straight to a nearby park, covering my forehead with my hand.

“Joo Joo-young… !”

I chewed on the name of the culprit at the sink in the park, erasing the word fool written in large letters on my forehead.

What is ‘because there’s not much difference in age’?

Ajumma, no one does these old jokes these days.

The fortunate thing is that Joo Joo-young was not a human without a case to the extent of scribbling on people’s skin with an oil-based magic marker.

The water-based magic was quickly removed, but the hair near the forehead was wet.

“… Something is missing.”

I became like a mouse soaked in the rain, sighed deeply and muttered, then slowly moved on to my destination.

My destination is the arboretum at the end of the Eastern District.

It’s a little out of the blue facility, but considering the true purpose of this academy island, it’s not at all unconvincing.

For reference, there is also a zoo at the west end.

An amusement park in the center, an arboretum in the east, and a zoo in the west. These are three regular places where favorable events are held.

It is also a place where users are fed up saying, “Is it here again?”

“I hope I can find it soon.”

I fiddled with the key in my pocket.

The 21st Student Council, which is also called the golden generation at the prestigious Edelweiss Academy and left many legends behind, continues to be active even after graduation.

This ‘somewhere key’ obtained from Edelweiss Academy is an item that can open the time capsule left by the 21st student council.

If you proceed according to the rules, after hearing the rumors about the Golden Generation from the students of Edelweiss Academy, you should go around and collect related information.

In the process, students who know the existence of this key fight, overcome the fight and recruit as colleagues. This is a complicated quest.

But I’ve already gone through the whole process as a player, so I just need to get to my destination and skip the rewards.

I started to see the entrance to the arboretum before I knew it.

As expected of a weekend, there were quite a crowd, and of course, most of them were couples.

You’re young. It looks good.

I trudged to the unmanned ticket machine with my hands in my pockets.

There is no admission fee, but there is a ticket machine to identify the users.

I pressed the button in a dull mood when someone stabbed me in the back.

“… Hey there man.”

What else is this time?

I want to finish it quickly and go back to the dormitory, but today I feel like a lot of tiring things happen.

I scratched my head and looked back, but no one was there.

“This way.”

The voice came from below.

Wait a minute, this development. A sense of déjà vu as if I had seen it somewhere.

… No way?

As I lowered my head, I knew my intuition was correct.

“How do you use that machine?”

A girl who looked like an elementary school student was asking me with a confident attitude with her arms crossed.

Full-fledged Lolita fashion, wearing gothic loli dresses and parasols.

Other people would have laughed it off saying it was cute, but I couldn’t do that.

It was because next to Katyusha, who was covering her purple hair, I could see the horns sticking out very slightly.

The enemy of humanity, the Irregular.

Among those Irregulars, Irregulars are the higher-ranking Irregulars that are especially aware of human habits, and attack Academia with all sorts of despicable means.

Astray, the mysterious white man who was also the final blackout in the last booster incident.

“Are you deaf? Or are you a blind blind man?”

The alter ego of Astray hiding in Academy City is this cheeky kid.

After taking a deep breath, I decided to imitate the ‘teacher’ in my memory when I first met this alter ego.

Even though it looks like a child, the reality is that it’s irregular, so there’s probably no big problem.

“For adults, kid.”

“What-.”

“Say respectful words!”

Gathering all my strength, I blew honey chestnuts on the girl’s forehead.
