020. Jealousy (1)

“I want to be close with Dohee.”

“… ….”

“Well, I think I can help…” ….”

Shin Se-hee offered to arrange an acquaintance with Kang Do-hee.

It’s not out of the blue.

Somehow, I seemed to be interested in Shin Se-hee.

Because she already knows that I’m interested in Kang Do-hee.

Her hair is spinning fast.

Do you need Shin Se-hee’s help now?

‘…… It’s good to have.’

No matter how well I know Kang Do-hee’s personal story and personality.

It is unknown how strongly Kang Do-hee harbors resentment towards her male quota system.

Of course, she is confident that she will dilute that image while showing her prejudice and a different side of herself in the future.

However, there is no time.

Only 3 weeks.

‘Considering what I’m going to do after training, I don’t have enough time to make contact with Kang Do-hee.’

When her training camp is over, Kang Do-hee becomes difficult to even meet at her academy.

‘Getting Shin Se-hee’s help here is definitely helpful.’

Since she is good at human relations and tricks, she will probably be able to get proper help.

‘But, if things go on like this, the development will be entangled… ….’

I narrowed her eyes and looked at her smiling.

In this way, to give a small help one by one, as she piled up her debt, there was a strong possibility that her chess words had become unconsciously.

I needed a leash.

Not a one-sided help, but a transaction.

That would prevent Shin Se-hee from trying to cross her line using her debt as an excuse.

But if you’re too intimate, you’ll get suspicious, so pass.

‘Something suitable… …. Oh right. Was that there?’

“How about getting along with Dohee? Let me help you. Will you accept my help?”

A confident expression, as if you could reject this offer.

I raised the corners of my mouth.

“…… I’ll get help, but let’s make a deal instead. Because you will need my help too. The necklace you lost Don’t you want to know where it went?”

“Yes…… ?”

Shin Se-hee’s smile breaks as if it has been cracked.

I felt a subtle exhilaration as I continued.

“The only stain on Cheonhwa. I’m talking about the unidentified theft of a necklace.”

“…… Everything, you.”

“Probably, that was a dungeon reward… …. It was better than expected, so Cheonhwa secretly ate it from behind. Did you say that?”

“Uh, how did you do that…… !”

“Why, you obviously silenced me, but you were embarrassed because I knew?”

“… ….”

“Unsurprisingly, everyone knows that.”

Actually, there are quite a few people besides me who know about this. And later it happens as an incident.

An incident in which the well-established reputation of Cheonhwa is damaged.

About three months after the entrance ceremony.

A rumor starts to circulate at the Velvet Academy.

Rumor has it that Shin Se-hee did not want to distribute the dungeon rewards, so she swallowed it alone and silenced people.

But, unfortunately, it was also an incident that was resolved right after it happened.

‘So it’s okay to use this now.’

Shin Se-hee was glaring at me with a stiff face and her lips moving.

I smiled when I saw that.

“Don’t look at me like that. I know you didn’t take it.”

“…… !”

From noble mtl dot com

This time round eyes.

In a short time, Shin Se-hee’s expression changes quickly.

“And I know who took it.”

“Someone!!!”

Shin Se-hee immediately asked back in a relaxed voice.

“Shin Se-hee, you said let’s make a deal.”

“…… Ah.”

“Since you brought up the proposal first, wouldn’t it be better to make Kang Do-hee and me closer?”

And after a little silence, Shin Se-hee opened her mouth.

“Jin Yuha. What the hell are you?”

“A male quota system?”

“…… Under.”

She sighed incredulously.

“That must not be a lie. Saying you know the guy who stole the necklace.”

“Do I dare to lie in front of Cheonhwa?”

I shrugged my shoulders and replied succinctly.

“Yes, I do. Transaction.”

Shin Se-hee reached out to me.

As an equal trader, not a unilateral helping hand.

* * *

The next day.

“Special admission cadets and quota cadets no longer follow the same training schedule.”

Instructor Baek Seol-hee, who came out to the training ground exactly at 8:00, said as soon as he arrived.

Then, the faces of the alloters bloomed as if flowers were in full bloom.

After trying it the day before, it seemed like he couldn’t do it.

Of course, I’m on the quota system too, but I wasn’t particularly worried.

She said she would set up a separate training schedule for me.

“The special admission cadets have the same training schedule as the day before, so go ahead and start running. Quota cadets, please come here for a while.”

Kang Do-hee and Shin Se-hee headed to her track, and we gathered in front of her.

“From now on, these three will train together.”

“…… !?”

I looked at Seolhee Baek with her embarrassed eyes.

“Now, wait a minute. Instructor. This is a different story—”

“Ask questions after the conversation is over.”

Baek Seol-hee interrupted her as if she knew that.

“Cadet Jin Yu-ha is alone in training.”

“…… Yes?”

“Then the remaining quota cadets are wondering what to do.”

“Yes… ….”

“Well, what can we do?”

Her allotments looked at her with eyes full of anticipation.

I don’t like being trained like that…… ?

“The healer can heal, and the supporter can buff. To cadet Jin Yu-ha.”

“…… Yes!?”

“Ji, to Jin Yu-ha!?”

“Yes. Cadet Jin Yu-ha has a natural body of her own, and she treats her body as if she were a normal person. I have no sense of the limits of my physical abilities.”

Baek Seol-hee said in a blunt voice.

“So while I am buffed and healed, I will break her limits by moving her body.”

“Ah.”

It took me a while to understand because the explanation was short, but when I put it into my current situation, I could understand what he meant.

‘I was moving my body based on my body in the previous world.’

Hunters who have awakened in the status window have a body different from that of ordinary people.

Recovery, muscular strength, and endurance are all different.

Even if he gets shot, he’s taken to the hospital and doesn’t die.

‘So while receiving buffs and healing… …. You’re breaking the senses of the common people.’

Baek Seol-hee looked at my expression and nodded her head.

“Hmm, it’s good that you seem to have a rough understanding. The skills of the cadets under the quota system have a particularly minor effect, so it can be said to be just the right level to reduce the discomfort of cadet Jin Yu-ha.”

A remark that treats cadets under the quota system as training tools.

At that, the two crumpled their faces as if their pride had been hurt.

‘But there’s no way they think of me favorably, so should I be obedient…… ?’

“If you don’t like that, it doesn’t matter if you go through the same training schedule as the day before.”

“…… Ha, I will!”

“Please let me do it!”

They immediately became obedient with Baek Seol-hee’s words.

“Yes, cadets under the quota system, please sit comfortably and use only your skills.”

Then, Baek Seol-hee’s individual guidance began.

*

“I can do more.”

“Just one more.”

“More.”

Baek Seol-hee sang ‘Just One More’ like a passionate pt trainer.

Of course, there was no change in expression or tone, just like a machine repeating the same words over and over again.

“Keep it off!”

I bit my lip and did push-ups while standing on my hands.

The blood vessels on his face rise, and sweat drips down to the floor.

A much heavier weight was placed on my ankle than the previous day.

“Quota cadet, buff.”

“hehehehe…… ! Again, again…… ?”

“Then we can start with running.”

“Oh no! Ha, I will!”

The cadet of the allotment system bit his lip and stretched out both of his hands toward me.

A faint magical energy rose from my hand and flowed towards my body.

It feels like a drop of water has fallen on dry ground.

I can’t even feel that the water has fallen because it is absorbed right away.

“Cadet Yuha Jin. Just one more.”

“Geuuu!!!”

I clenched my teeth and bent and extended my arms again.

Kudang—!

And right after that, I collapsed on my back.

“Hmm, a little muscle tear in the arm. Quota cadet. Healing.”

“uuu… Hey, healing!”

At Baek Seol-hee’s words, the cadet Hae Jeong-je began to recover with a darkened dead face.

Honestly, I don’t know if I’ve recovered.

Perhaps this is a wicked trick to increase training efficiency through the placebo effect.

“I had a hard time.”

“… ….”

“… ….”

“… ….”

None of me and the quota agent opened their mouths.

It felt like I was being squeezed to the limits of my real body.

Baek Seol-hee looks down on us like that.

“In the future, training will be conducted in this way. Then, let’s eat and gather again in an hour.”

Jerbug. That buck

Baek Seol-hee spat that out and turned her back and left.

I can hear the sound of her steps moving away like a dream.

I am looking up blankly at the filthy clear sky,

A shadow fell over my face.

“…… Shin Se-hee?”

I twitched one eyebrow.

“hehehehe, you worked hard in training.”

“…… Are you here to tease me?”

“It can’t be. We should eat together.”

“With you?”

“Yes, this is all a strategy.”

Shin Se-hee covered her mouth and whispered as if telling a secret.

“…… Yes, I understand.”

I must have already put on a leash. There is no reason to doubt her.

At the dinner table with Shin Se-hee, who got up and walked away.

It was a completely different place from yesterday.

A red and yellow sign.

A stimulating scent.

And even the noise of people talking loudly.

A fast food restaurant.

‘…… Hamburger?’

Let’s turn our heads and look at Shin Se-hee in the sense of whether this is true.

“I am trying something like this for the first time!”

“… ….”

“I always wanted to come, but I didn’t have a chance. What is it?”

She opened the door with her eyes twinkling.

As soon as we entered, we took an empty seat.

She turned her head to find her menu board.

“Oh, there it is. I think the chef made a hamburger once before……. Does it taste similar to that?”

“I’ll take the Yeroni Piaco Cheeseburger.”

“…… What is it?”

“The name of the burger.”

“Ah, is there such a thing? Then me too.”

It was then.

She caught her eye at a woman a short distance away, holding a hamburger and looking for an empty seat.

Bright red hair.

A firm and sensual body.

A nonchalant face.

It was Kang Do-hee.
