Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

22. Cynthia’s Question

#22. Cynthia’s question

Cynthia gained energy through Han Seong-jin.

Gaining energy, she made a firm resolution.

‘Let’s not even think of giving up. Huh. If there is something difficult or painful, don’t hold it in, just cry and shake it off!’

I also realized something.

Sometimes it’s okay to get help from people around you.

It’s good to rely on those around you.

This is not something I learned from anyone. Just found out from Han Seong-jin.

I still have only one person I can rely on, and I don’t know if she’ll accept it just because she leans on it.

‘I’m also telling the instructor. I will never resign. I will prove it s*xually.’

Cynthia decided to properly express her intentions to Jung Woo-sik, her class A teacher.

She went so early in the morning that she stopped by the principal’s office.

But… Instructor Jung Woo-shik was not there.

“Do you have Instructor Jung Woo-shik?”

“Instructor Jung Woo-shik? I know? Can’t you see where it is? You go to work early every morning. Do you have anything else to do today?”

When she asked the other instructor in the office, he also shook his head and said he didn’t know where Instructor Jung Woo-shik was.

‘After breakfast or lunchtime. If things don’t go well, there’s still time after school.’

She wanted to get rid of the bullhorn as well. She wanted to get things done right away, but she had no one to talk to, so she couldn’t proceed.

Cynthia exited the office and headed to her class.

She then opened her textbook and did her self-study.

Ding dong dang dong-

It was 8 o’clock.

Even though it was morning inquiry time, Jung Woo-sik did not show up. The children chatted and made a fuss.

Around that time, the front door of class A opened with a creaking sound. It was Seo Min-ki, the instructor in charge of Class 2-B.

“Let’s go to sleep. Everyone, stop making a fuss and take a seat.”

Seo Min-ki looked around and confirmed that there were no empty seats, and continued.

“Instructor Jung Woo-shik did not show up at the academy today. More precisely, it would be more accurate to say that he is missing.”

The whole class started to stir at his bombshell remarks.

Kung! When Seo Min-ki’s fist hit the table, the children’s spirits soared.

“I haven’t finished my words yet. Stay focused until the end.”

He sighed and continued.

‘What happened to you?’

Cynthia is usually lively and laughs a lot, so this is the first time I’ve seen Instructor Seo Min-ki so worried.

It seemed to be such a serious problem.

Although missing an instructor isn’t usually a problem in the first place.

“Currently, Instructor Jung Woo-shik is facing multiple charges, including theft, s*xual harassment of minors, and attempted murder. The related information was delivered to the academy yesterday… As of this morning, Instructor Jung Woo-shik, no, Jung Woo-shik has been stripped of his instructor position.”

Seominki rubbed his hair and continued.

“Therefore, Jung Woo-sik was converted to the status of a suspect. He has a high probability of being convicted in court because he has many witnesses and evidence as well. Do you know why I am telling you this?”

At his words, the cadets shook their heads.

“As I just said, Instructor Jung Woo-sik is missing. So, the horse is missing, not the fugitive status. He doesn’t know where he fled. He seems to have fallen asleep in advance, realizing that his crimes have been discovered. That’s why I’m letting you know that I might be able to visit you guys. Even if Jung Woo-shik visits your house and asks you to let him in, he should never let you in. Understand?”

Cynthia was taken aback by Minki Seo, the instructor of Class B.

To think Jung Woo-shik was that kind of person….

And more than that, I had a question.

‘… Instructor Jung Woo-shik is a criminal. He seemed a bit odd, but I didn’t expect him to be a criminal.’

Just a few days ago, Cynthia had an interview with Instructor Jeong Woo-shik.

Even though it was an invitation to drop out under the guise of an interview.

Anyway, Cynthia knew that he was encouraging and forcing several cadets to drop out. So he didn’t like it.

But he didn’t know that he had even committed a crime.

‘But did the academy originally reveal this… ?’

Cynthia felt suspicious.

No, beyond the question, she felt strange.

‘Don’t they usually try to cover up all these incidents?’

She remembers that a few similar incidents happened at the academy the other day. She was in first grade. The reason we know this is because the truth was revealed by the person involved in the case while the academy tried to cover it up.

‘I don’t know….’

Cynthia didn’t know, but she felt exhilarated for some reason. It was only natural that she hated Instructor Jung Woo-shik.

She says that the instructor who tried to drop her out is a bad guy and will be punished.

‘But why does the old man’s face come to mind?’

Seongjin Han.

For some reason, his face appeared in Cynthia’s mind.

‘Ah. That’s why.’

Cynthia realized why his face suddenly appeared.

‘Everything went well after meeting Mr. Something like that.’

Since she met him, everything has worked out.

Even if there was a problem, everything was resolved within a few days. That is why his face often comes to mind when good things happen.

‘… But apart from that, it’s weird. That good things like this keep happening.’

By the way. I suddenly had a question.

If good things like this keep happening… I was thinking that there must be a reason for such a thing to happen.

It was a series of things that were too excessive to just dismiss it as luck.

Resurrected from the danger of death, gained superpowers by taking elixirs, and obtained unknown powers, and a letter of fortune is coming to tell you how to use the powers….

And all of that has happened in the past month.

Also, it happened with the addition of one person to her life.

Seongjin Han.

‘No way, Mister… Is it the cause of the good things so far…? ? Instructor Jung Woo-sik was also taken care of by the uncle… ?’

The imagination played out in her head.

In fact, what if Han Seong-jin was a person with great power, and she intentionally approached him and helped him in this and that?

But the imagination did not last long.

‘… What are you thinking? It’s an unbelievable imagination. Even if he was that kind of person, why would he help me? I didn’t even mention the academy in the first place, but there’s no way you know about it. Huh.’

Cynthia blew away the ridiculous imagination she had just had.

Then she continued her thoughts about Han Seong-jin.

‘A man is just a man…. A little handsome man.’

Cynthia thought of Han Seong-jin and blushed slightly.

It’s only been a month since we met, but… A lot happened in less than a month and I had a lot of good experiences.

I don’t know why… Thinking about it makes her feel a little better too.

That was when Cynthia was lost in her thoughts. The voice of her common people woke her up.

“Ah. Really. And cadet Cynthia.”

“Yes?”

“You can go to the principal’s office after all classes are over today. I have a private meeting with the principal.”

“Principal… A meeting with the teacher?”

Cynthia was taken aback when she heard that her interview with the academy 2-chan had been scheduled.

Because she hadn’t done anything right.

And usually… When she is called into the principal’s office when she has done nothing right, it is when she has done something serious wrong.

‘I, I… What great mistake have you made… ?’

She had cold sweat running down her face.

***

The sound of seagulls was heard loudly from all directions.

“Please! Please! Help me!”

Jung Woo-shik, who was inside the drum, prayed sadly.

He was wringing out tears and runny nose. How pitifully it rains… It seemed that his voice would resonate throughout the sea.

“You know at this point, right? You’re f*cked.”

“Only once… ! Give me one chance!”

“Anyway, I made you into a 10-year-old child. Even if I go back, I will be blind for the rest of my life.”

I released the principal and brought only Jung Woo-shik here.

He made some foreseeable mistakes, and he was useful, but not this guy.

At the same time, he was stripped of all the crimes he had committed in Korea and handed them over to the prosecution. That alone was enough to become the 10th child in the world.

“When he was captured, he spoke quietly, but when he died, it became very loud. Did you really think I couldn’t kill you?”

It’s easy to deal with this yourself, but… It wasn’t the first time.

“Now, let’s go into the cement.”

As I spoke to the side, one of the bodyguards brought me the cement paste I had just prepared.

Pour this and harden it to sink to the bottom of the sea.

I personally picked up the cement paste and poured it into the drum containing Jung Woo-shik.

After a while, it will be combined with Jung Woo-sik and hardened.

“aaagh!”

It won’t hurt, but are you screaming because you’re scared?

Well, it could be.

“Please save me. I’ll do anything, anything… !”

Jung Woo-sik struggled and begged again, but I said firmly.

“I came this far, how can I get back? And even if you go back, you’ll be embarrassed? Give up this life, and if there is a next life, live a good life then.”

I gave him a last name.

Now, you have to show this level of courtesy to the guy who will search.

Tak. Click. I closed the lid of the drum and locked it.

Jung Woo-sik’s world has become dark.

Bang bang. He slightly kicked the drum with his foot.

The cement hardened.

It seemed that Jung Woo-shik was screaming something, but he couldn’t hear him very well. I will never hear anything from you in the future.

“Throw it.”

Plop-

As if a drum was being sucked into the Pacific Ocean, it disappeared.
