Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

13. Cynthia is immune

#13. Cynthia is immune

“… What did I see wrong?”

Lee Soo-hyuk saw Cynthia on the way to school.

And witnessed her blow up Jin Dowon.

“I don’t think Jin Do-won would be defeated by Cynthia….”

It made no sense considering the rankings of Jin Do-won and Cynthia. It was natural for Lee Soo-hyeok to have doubts.

“Did you hide your power in the last test? I’ve grown too strong to say I’ve grown. Either way, it’s strange….”

Because they were in the same group in the practical test the other day, Lee Soo-hyeok had a rough idea of Cynthia’s skills.

But the difference between the image he knew and the image he just showed was too great.

‘It’s done. I’ll be filmed by the instructors anyway. There’s no need to worry about it.’

Lee Soo-hyeok gave up on his thoughts.

Cynthia will soon be stamped out by her instructors.

He intended to use Cynthia and Lim Seong-won as a springboard to erase his mistakes and head upward.

The two who became a platform will fall to the bottom.

The guys at the bottom were not Lee Soo-hyuk’s interests.

Because his eyes are always looking upward.

***

In the afternoon after all classes were over, Lee Soo-hyeok visited the teachers’ office. He

He was there to tell a story about the practical exam.

Lee Soo-hyeok’s practical test score was A-.

It was a humiliating score for Lee Soo-hyeok, who had never scored below an A before.

But it didn’t matter.

Because he intends to bring up a story today that will overturn this score.

‘Convincing the instructors is easy.’

With a confident expression, he told the instructor in charge of the practical test that he had something to say about this test.

Then he followed him to the consulting room.

That’s how he started talking.

What happened during the test,

What caused his own mistake, and the cause was not himself, but his teammates, Cynthia and Lim Seong-won.

Of course, I didn’t express it directly.

Turned it around, making the instructor guess.

‘If you tell a lie, you’ll be caught right away, but if you mix the truth with lies, it’s not easy to tell them apart. Besides, Instructor Cha Min-seok has been kind to me since the first year…. You’re lucky.’

Lee Soo-hyuk made good use of what he had.

A way of speaking that mixes truth with lies.

The reliability given by the position of first place in the academy grade.

A model student who has never been penalized.

I took advantage of all of this.

However, this time it didn’t go as well as he had hoped.

“Instructor?”

Lee Soo-hyeok wondered if Instructor Cha Min-seok was listening to him.

He just kept nodding his head and looking at his phone.

At first, I listened well, but why did I do this?

It was an attitude of openly ignoring himself. Are you saying it’s not worth listening to?

Lee Soo-hyeok couldn’t understand why he was so friendly until recently.

But the opponent is an instructor.

Lee Soo-hyeok, who had no background, was in a position where nothing could be done.

All Lee Soo-hyeok could do now was call him back and get his attention.

“Instructor Cha Min-seok?”

“Ah. I heard everything.”

After calling twice, Cha Min-seok looked at Lee Soo-hyuk again.

He said that he listened to Lee Soo-hyuk’s words even while looking at his smartphone.

“So you mean… You did nothing wrong in this test, and you made an unintentional mistake because of cadet Cynthia and cadet Lim Seong-won, right?”

Lee Soo-hyeok listened to what Instructor Cha Min-seok had to say and smiled. Okay. He knew everything.

“… That’s right. As Instructor Cha Min-seok knows, you know that he would never make a mistake like this normally, right?”

As planned. Lee Soo-hyeok thought so.

His own mistakes are covered by this. I feel sorry for Cynthia and Lim Seong-won… I wonder if the person being victimized is a sick person. If you twist it, did you guys do this first?

But….

“It’s a rich year.”

“Yes?”

Instructor Cha Min-seok gave a completely different answer than Lee Soo-hyuk expected.

Even using very harsh words.

“Tsk tsk tsk.”

He clicked his tongue and pointed at Lee Soo-hyuk.

“Lee Soo-hyuk. I didn’t see it that way, but I’m very disappointed with this incident. A guy named No. 1 In his class is trying to pass his mistakes on to other cadets. Come to think of it, I don’t think this happened once or twice.”

Lee Soo-hyeok couldn’t figure out what the situation was.

Why? Why all of a sudden? Did Instructor Cha Min-seok turn his back on him?

Attitude, even if you say so… I probably wouldn’t have been this kind of person… ?

“Let’s pretend we didn’t hear this one. If you come to me again about this, then I won’t be able to put an end to it.”

Cha Min-seok shook his hand and signaled Lee Soo-hyeok to leave.

“… Yes.”

Lee Soo-hyuk had a fire burning inside him, but he did not show it through his facial expressions or actions.

He was thinking of going to another instructor and asking for help.

However, there was not a single instructor to help him.

‘… f*ck! What is this all of a sudden!’

Even though the instructors listened to her story well, as soon as she brought up the story that Cynthia and Lim Seong-won were wrong, they frowned and scolded herself.

Don’t try to blame others for your mistakes.

Without a single exception.

Lee Soo-hyeok’s grade ended with an A-.

Receiving penalty points was a bonus.

‘What’s the problem? !’

Why did the instructors suddenly turn their backs on them?

Lee Soo-hyeok wanted to know the reason.

***

Huruk.

The bitter aroma of tea filled his mouth.

Being hot was a bonus.

‘I can’t get used to this guy’s tea no matter how many times I drink it. What’s good about this….’

There were no complaints about the efficacy of the tea itself.

Because of that, I sometimes force myself to drink.

But you drink for taste?

It was clear that his sense of taste was wrong.

I hated cars that much.

“The tea tastes good.”

But I can’t say it straight away.

No matter how much I wanted to overturn the table and ask for orange juice, I couldn’t.

Because I am a common sense person, and I know that it is rude to say this.

Nonetheless, this car was used enough to make me want to spit it out right away.

I wonder if this inspiration didn’t prepare to f*ck me.

“Heh heh. Is that so? Then I’ll give you another drink.”

Again.

Before I could say anything, the inspiration in front of me poured tea into my cup.

In the blink of an eye, the teacup was filled with tea.

No matter how fast your hands are faster than your eyes… Isn’t it too fast to be invisible?

‘Oh sh*t….’

I barely held back the urge to hit the other person on the head with a teacup.

Repay the favor this way?

“The amount donated to the academy has been well received. Ha ha ha. Besides, they even built a dormitory…. I’m sorry I can only serve you tea like this.”

The name of the old woman in front of me is Joo Cheol-myeong.

A retired senior hero who is currently in charge of the academy principal.

Ranked 2nd in the Academy. His consolation is only the chairman of the board.

Right now, such a nobleman was treating me in a very respectful manner in front of me.

Why? It was simple.

“What? I plan to invest a lot in the academy in the future. Isn’t it a place where talented people who will be responsible for our country are nurtured?”

I donated a lot of money to the academy.

There is no one who will not be polite when it comes to giving money.

“I want all the cadets to live in a good place. Also, I would like the level of support to be higher. Regardless of rank.”

I emphasized the last sentence.

It was for Cynthia. She said her ranking is still at the bottom of the list.

“Heh heh. Of course it should.”

Anyway, this is not a difficult request.

No, it’s not difficult.

It wasn’t a request, it was just a matter of course.

I only pointed out the direction.

I wish I could spend my money like this.

This is an offer you can’t refuse.

Legal money will continue to be donated to the academy. And the academy will grow with this money as nourishment.

And the ball?

Everyone goes to the principal and the chairman.

He has no choice but to listen to what I have to say.

Otherwise, I’ll cut off the donation.

‘Of course, it’s a pity to spend the donated money on this amount.’

I made a profit by donating, but it was still a pity.

I just need to fill that regret from now on.

“There is one student I personally have my eye on….”

I sipped my tea carefully and floated my luck.

“Really? A cadet with an advisor’s eye on him… I am also interested.”

SJ Korean branch advisor.

That was my current title.

It’s a business card that I dug up to be active. Of course, I do not go to work.

Also, Principal Joo Cheol-myeong doesn’t know my true identity.

Still, there are rumors about me, so I guess that’s why I’m taking such a cautious attitude.

Money is probably one of the reasons.

“Ha ha. Not to the extent that the principal is interested. Is it just an acquaintance of an acquaintance? My name is Cynthia, and I’m a cadet in the bottom of the second year… I brought up the story because I wanted to be well.”

Briefly explain the meaning of the word.

Don’t be interested in it, but take care of yourself so that you can get along well in the academy.

That was it.

“This is not a difficult request. All right.”

Principal didn’t seem to know that either, so he answered briefly and finished. At this rate, there would be no reason to get caught up in unfair affairs inside the academy.

‘Okay. With this, the purpose of coming here has been achieved.’

If you leave it like this, it will grow on its own.

I stood up with a smile.

***

Cynthia was on her way to the training center to take her next class, [Understanding Martial Arts].

However, a familiar face came into her gaze.

‘… Isn’t that Mr. Seongjin?’

Cynthia is an archer.

That’s why one of her eyes was good.

She was far away, and although she was wearing sunglasses, she thought he must be Seongjin Han.

No, it must have been. That person is Han Seong-jin.

‘What’s going on at the academy? … Besides, the building where Mr. Seongjin came from… Isn’t that the building used by the principal or vice principal?’

Cynthia’s doubts deepened.
