Chapter 14

Chapter 14

“Good morning. Did everyone get a good night’s rest yesterday?”

Soo-hyun puts the attendance book down on the table and looks around.

“Yes~” is the students’ response, and Soo-hyun nods and smiles brightly.

“Good, then. Now, the first day was to see if any of you are worthy of being raised by me, and the second day was to see what kind of fighting style you prefer. Well, I didn’t get to find out because one of you fainted right at the start.”

Soo-hyun’s words drew the other students’ eyes to Jin-woo.

At the sudden mention of his story, Jin-woo ducks his head in embarrassment but Soo -hyun didn’t let that stop her.

“And today is the third day. The activity you will do today is a kind of academy explanation. Let’s see......Oh, we haven’t picked a class president yet. Don’t bother.......”

With that, Soo-hyun snapped her fingers, and the stack of papers she’d brought with the attendance sheet disappeared, leaving a booklet on each of our desks.

“Now, this is the schedule for today, so let’s all check it out.”

...... Moving 12 objects with this much volume to a designated range at the same time?

It was an insane acrobatic feat, but she was performing it now just because she was bothered.

Was that the power of a spatial mage who was once hailed as a genius?

When I opened the booklet Soo-hyun had sent me, I saw a map of the academy and a schedule divided into classes with pictures.

[1st and 2nd periods (09:00-12:30). Tour of the Academy: You are a new student at the Academy. If you are new to our academy, we have prepared an event for you! Take a look at the clubs around the academy!]

[Lunch period (12:30~13:50). Move to the cafeteria: You’ve seen enough clubs, now let’s eat!]

[3rd and 4th periods (13:50~17:20). Liberal Arts Classes : Your class will take a course on the liberal arts and the skills a hero should have].

You’ll have 4 periods of 90 minutes each.

And as expected, the first and second periods are spent exploring clubs, just like in the game.

“As it says there, the first and second periods are for exploring the clubs in the Academy. I’m sure the various clubs will be clamoring for new members soon, so why not take a look around? Many of them will be useful to you in the future, so you might as well take a closer look.”

Hearing her words, I glanced out the window and saw that booths promoting clubs had already been set up all over the academy.

It was bustling.......

“Okay, so we have some time...... left, it’s 8:40, so let’s elect a class president, Eugene Han?”

......Why is he calling my name in such a manner?

“Yes.”

“You should be class president.”

“Yes?”

No, you’re making me the class president like this?

“Why? You don’t want to do it?”

Soo-hyun asks, looking at me with a sneer.

“Do you?”

Crazy bitch.

I let out a sigh and said.

“Well, I should at least get nominated, there might be someone else who wants to be class president.”

“What? I just want you to do it.”

You’re trying to make me class president just for that reason?

For my plan, I should never be class president, so I decided to decline the position for now.

“Sorry──”

“I’ll do it.”

Just as I was about to reject Soo-hyun’s offer, Kim Young-jae, who was sitting in the front seat, raised his hand and declared his candidacy.

“Oh, yes, Kim Young-jae. You’re going to be class president?”

“Yes. I’d like to run.”

“Really?”

After saying that, Soo-hyun stares at me but I look out the window to avoid her gaze.

“Well......Since Eugene doesn’t want to do it, is there anyone besides Kim Young-jae who wants to be a candidate?”

No one raises their hand this time. In response, Soo-hyun pulled a notebook out of her pocket and began to scribble.

“Class president is Kim Young-jae. The vice president is...... Hmm, should I get a nomination for that too?”

“I’ll do it.”

“Huh?”

Soo-hyun looks at me with a puzzled expression.

“You didn’t want to be class president, did you?”

“Vice class president is different, isn’t it?”

“Huh, you’re a funny bastard, aren’t you?”

Soo-hyun glares at me with sharp eyes.

In fact, I applied for the position of class vice-president instead of class president for two reasons.

Finally, Ji-hyun checked to see if anyone had raised their hand, and when she saw none, she raised the attendance register again.

“Okay. So, I guess I’m really leaving then?”

With those words, Ji-hyun left the classroom but I immediately stood up from my seat and followed her out of the classroom.

“Instructor.”

“Huh? Why are you following me out? Is there anything else you want to ask me?”

“I want to start a club.”

“......What, didn’t you just hear me explain?”

“Yes, I heard you.”

“So, you’re trying to start a club, as a freshman?”

“Yes.”

“You do realize that you’ve only been in school for three days, right?”

“I am aware.”

“And you want to start a club, now?”

“Yes.”

The corners of Ji-hyun’s mouth lifted when she heard my words.

“Why are you telling me that?”

“I want you to be an advisor for the club I’m creating.”

“......What, are you crazy, why would I do that?”

“I’m going to make your wish come true.”

“My wish? You think you know what it is and you’re going to make it happen?”

“I will bring chaos to this academy, chaos that hasn’t been seen in two years.”

“What?”

The newly updated information for Lee Ji-Hyun was very necessary for me at this time.

[Name: Lee Ji-hyun]

[Affiliation : Academy, South Korea]

[Age: 28 years old]

[Specialty: Spatial magic and tactical command]]

[Family: Both parents deceased, no siblings]

[About: An instructor at the Seoul Hero Academy, which has long believed that heroes are born in times of crisis.

She is very positive about the ecology of competing predatory species and has submitted three papers citing these ideas.

In the past, while on active duty, she nearly lost his life due to a dungeon outbreak, but was saved by Don Vito Corleone]

The atmosphere of the Academy has stabilized in recent years with a few powerful groups.

She could train her students in a stable, quiet atmosphere but that’s not what she wanted, because what she wanted was a true hero, not just another ordinary person or someone a little stronger than everyone else.

A hero born in the midst of a crisis and whose mere presence could inspire hope, a hero who is more special and noble than anyone else, a true hero.

Ji-hyun, for someone who believes that four-leaf clovers can only emerge by trampling and breaking the ever-blooming three-leaf clovers, my proposal would seem invincible and sweet.

To bring new chaos to an Academy that had been so peaceful under the Student Council?

And as if to let me know I was right she looked at me with an expression of great amusement.

“You’ve been planning this all along, haven’t you? Asking about starting a club in front of the kids and suddenly applying for vice class president was all for this.”

“......Did I get caught?”

I looked at her with a smile.

“By asking the question in front of them, you were subtly trying to instill the idea that ‘they’ll never be able to do it’ in their minds so that they want to do it more.”

As she says this, she looks me in the eye and smiles.

“Hiya, now that I think about it, you’re the real deal, using me and no one else? Hahaha, you’re that old man’s son after all.”

Ji-hyun lets out a lighthearted laugh and slowly walks over to me.

“Okay, let’s hang out. I really like you so far.”

She puts her hand on my shoulder.

“But there’s a condition.”

“Conditions...... you mean?”

“I need three founding agreements by tomorrow and I’ll be your advisor. I can also help you pass the student council’s review. What do you think, if you’re so determined to start a club, you can do this?”

After all, she was the Ji-hyun I knew.

She’s the kind of girl who would take on any challenge with a smile on her face even if it meant going overboard.

Hence, the nickname “Crazy Bitch.”

“Really, it’s an offer I can’t refuse.”

“Isn’t it?”

“Yes.”
