How to Survive as a Villain in a Novel

Chapter 73

73 – Joint Sparring (3)

A leisurely cafe located in a corner of Orbis Academy’s campus.

In a deep place where people’s eyes could not reach, a cadet with red hair and a cadet with short brown hair were facing each other.

A cold iced Americano was placed in front of the red-haired cadet, and cocoa was placed in front of the brown-haired cadet.

The red-haired girl grabbed the Americano and downed it in one gulp. She frowned slightly, then immediately returned to a blank expression.

Iced Americano was not as tasty as I expected.

‘In dramas, you drink whenever you get the chance.’

Liu Seo-ah, covering her mouth with a long navy blue knit sleeve, opened her mouth.

“Senior Hyunjin.”

In fact, she is a girl who doesn’t even deserve to be a friend. Usually she stays at home and goes to the training room to train. She’s been nailed and trained. Then, if I feel like it’s too hard, I just blankly watch one or two dramas. Her daily life was always like that.

Thanks to this, it was quite rare to come to a cafe like this. When she came over sometimes, Ryu Seo-ah ordered some kind of plain tea, but today for some reason she was craving coffee.

She took another sip of her Americano, moved the table slightly away from her, and promised herself that she would finish work quickly.

Today is the day to share the results of surveillance on Lee Han and exchange opinions.

Ryu Seo-ah expects Yoon Hyun-jin to observe Lee Han’s evil deeds and accurately see his dark plans.

Yoon Hyun-jin, who is staring blankly while holding Cocoa, is a very small creature for a senior, so I somehow want to take care of him, but first of all, work is work. Ryu Seo-ah asked.

“Senior Hyunjin. “What results did you have from your surveillance this time?”

“Ah… Surveillance? “What was that?”

“Last time, we decided to monitor this together.”

Yoon Hyun-jin, who was dazed, flinched at the word Lee Han and continued speaking.

“Ah. Huh! Go, I’m watching! “I watched it all the time, almost every day!”

Hmm. Isn’t that a bit excessive?

I would have been able to confirm Lee Han’s evil deeds by following him around for just a few hours.

Ryu Seo-ah tilted her head and asked back.

“… You were quite passionate, weren’t you?”

“Have I been chasing too much? At the same time, I actually thought that I shouldn’t be doing this. “It’s against the school rules…”

Hyunjin Yoon becomes discouraged at once.

It shouldn’t be like that. If you go back to being the rule keeper Yoon Hyun-jin, you will face a lot of trouble in one way or another.

Liu Seo-ah hurriedly opened her mouth.

“No, you did what you had to do. Above all, you’ve decided not to worry about school rules anymore.”

“That’s right, that’s right. It’s not that I particularly like Lee Han, but…? I did it because it had to be done. School rules and laws are not important anymore! “My heart is what matters.”

Yoon Hyun-jin’s expression brightened like a child receiving a gift from Santa.

‘… Still, it would be better to follow the law.’

Swallowing her criticism, Liu Seo-ah opened her mouth.

“So, how was the result?”

In any case, if the observation time had been long, there would have been a lot of things heard and seen. Ryu Seo-ah leaned towards Yoon Hyun-jin with her anticipation.

Yoon Hyun-jin’s lips slowly opened.

“Lee Han was secretly muscular.”

“… Yes? How do you do that? No, it’s not this…”

“Oh, no. It’s not that I stole a shower or anything, but I happened to see her taking off her top and training, and her chest was bigger than I thought. The veins on my neck are also bulging. “I don’t think I was like that to begin with, but I guess I was exercising hard, right?”

“Pugh!”

Vivid explanation.

Ryu Seo-ah took about half a sip of her coffee that she had in her mouth and without realizing it, she squirted it out.

“Ah. “Here’s a napkin.”

“Thank you.”

While Hyunjin Yoon was wiping the table with the napkin she gave her, she continued speaking.

“After that, when she saw me there, she took her clothes and put them on. You know, if you exercise, right? That sizzling heat. Should I say that I don’t like the smell of sweat…? “It mixed with the scorching heat, so I just got a little closer…”

“Now, wait a minute!”

Ryu Seo-ah hurriedly stopped reporting Yoon Hyun-jin and checked her surroundings.

‘If anyone hears this story.’

Of course, it is a story that Yeo Saeng can tell whenever two people get together, but it was also an extremely embarrassing story for Ryu Seo-ah, who has not even been able to date properly.

Fortunately, she was in a deep position, so it seems no one was listening.

Ryu Seo-ah calmed down Yoon Hyun-jin with a somewhat red face.

“If we keep doing this, it’ll just look like we’re sharing dirty talk… Isn’t there a different topic?”

“Hmm.”

Yoon Hyun-jin deep in thought.

I don’t know what comes to mind, but seeing as his cheeks turn pink and the corners of his mouth keep turning up, I don’t think the topic is much different.

‘… I heard people who are normally restrained are scary.’

Hyunjin Yoon, whose shell that had been suppressing and controlling herself had been broken, thought that she had clearly changed greatly from before.

‘… Maybe I’m a little jealous.’

Ryuseo Ada carries a lot of burden on her shoulders.

But she immediately shook her head to shake off her distracting thoughts.

Because avenging her father is something that must be done.

With good timing, Hyunjin Yoon opened his mouth.

“Jo Gu-seong, do you know that I came to the joint sparring? I was far away from Lee Han. I really like that part. If possible, I want to meet Lee Han, who defeated everyone before coming up. How cool would it be? If possible, I want to fight up close. Then, it won’t be a problem. ..”

Yoon Hyun-jin’s breathing becomes increasingly heated.

Ryu Seo-ah shook her head.

This person sucked.

After the meeting with Hyunjin Yoon.

– Then I’ll go in and get some sleep! I stayed up all night and it was so hard!

Leaving behind Yoon Hyun-jin, who left with a satisfied expression despite his dark circles, Ryu Seo-ah came out of her cafe.

Leftover Americano in one hand.

“Maybe I should have just left it behind.”

It was a hectic day in many ways.

The sight of Yoon Hyun-jin, who seemed to have completely fallen for Lee Han, seemed to make Ryu Seo-ah even more uneasy.

“Ha.”

– Jjook.

Ryu Seo-ah unconsciously took a sip of Ah-ah. I reflexively frowned at the expected bitter taste, but…

“… It’s surprisingly drinkable, isn’t it?”

The bitter taste disappeared somewhat and a fragrant acidity was felt in the mouth.

Let’s lift the transparent cup. The Americano is noticeably softer than before.

The half-melted ice must have thinned the consistency.

As I look at the coffee like this, old memories naturally come to mind.

It was a time when her father was still alive.

My father enjoyed drinking iced Americano at home.

– Dad, I want to try coffee too!

– Ahahahaha. Since Seo-ah is still young, she shouldn’t drink coffee. I’ll get you some iced cocoa instead.

– Cool! I’m an adult now too! You can drink coffee!

– Let’s sleep. Look. When you add ice to cocoa, it becomes the same color as coffee, right?

– Hmph!

After pouting like that, I remember begging for iced cocoa for months because it was so delicious.

Somehow lonely.

Ryu Seo-ah once again drank Americano.

– Jjook.

Let’s take a moment to walk wherever we want, enjoying the taste of bitter memories.

“Are you here to train?”

Somehow the receptionist welcomes Ryu Seo-ah.

Ryu Seo-ah looked up at her desk blankly.

[The 11th Training Ground]

She seemed to have arrived at the training center as she walked while lost in thought.

Actually, it is time to train.

Now that I think about it, she feels like her once calm circle is going awry again, and she was thinking that she needs to make some adjustments.

Unconsciousness is truly scary.

‘Since I’m here, should I go train?… No, wait a minute.’

Liu Seo Ah looked up at her desk again.

11 Training center.

This is not the place where she usually trains.

‘… What is it?’

But for some reason, it sounds familiar.

11 Training center. I definitely remember hearing it from someone. What on earth? Why did I come here unconsciously?

At that moment, Hyunjin Yoon’s voice passed through her head.

– These days, Lee Han is training at Training Center 11. If you go there, you might see them drenched in sweat…

… No. For a moment.

So, did you come here unconsciously because you wanted to see Lee?

“Ugh!”

As Ryu Seo knew, she let out a strange screaming sound without realizing it. She hurriedly covers her mouth. But the receptionist was already looking at her Ryu Seo-ah as if she was worried.

“Hey, cadet, are you okay?”

“Oh, yes. It’s okay, it’s okay. “I will use the training center.”

“Yes. If this is your first time, just hand over your student ID.”

“Woman, here.”

The 10 seconds it took for entry to be approved felt like an hour to Ryu Seo-ah.

I came here unconsciously because of Lee Han. And she even screamed strangely. She will definitely see you as a strange person.

“Yes. Cadet Ryu Seo-ah has been confirmed. “If you use it freely…”

“Thank you!”

After receiving approval for her entry, Liu Seo-ah ran into the training center as if running away.

‘Is this something that can’t be helped?’

Ryu Seo-ah muttered as if making an excuse.
