chapter 14
014. Kang Do-hee
‘Crazy… ….’
A real sigh comes out.
Come forward.
It’s like being called up on stage on a field trip during school days.
Of course, I have no such experience.
However, I will never forget the desperate expression of the child who went up as the quietest person at the time.
‘But now that has become me…… ?’
It is the same thing that neither of the cadets with special admissions nor the cadets under the male quota system took the exam.
However, the way they look is different.
On the one hand, envy and longing.
The other side is disregard and contempt.
Specially enrolled students are those who have made amazing achievements outside the academy to the extent that they have to bring them even with money.
Because the male quota system selected unqualified guys just because they applied to match the gender ratio.
‘What on earth was Jin Yu-ha thinking when he applied for the male quota system? Don’t you have a brain?’
It seems like I started filming from the bottom of the unlikable character before I even worked on the character’s liking.
No matter how much I roll my head, there is no answer.
What should I do when I am asked to come out? Gotta get out
‘…… No, it’s still too early to give up.’
Even in the auditorium here, the number of male cadets is smaller than that of female students.
Even roughly, it’s about a third of the total number of people.
That means that this velvet academy is difficult for men to enter.
Of course, it could also mean ‘this place isn’t that attractive to men.’
After graduating from Velvet Academy, it’s a world where you’re treated quite well. It won’t be.
‘There must be quite a few other kids who entered the male quota system besides me. How can I mix well with them and bury them?’
“Jin Yuha?”
From the side, Lee Yu-ri talked to me as if she was thinking about something.
Ha, yes.
If you don’t tell him first and find out later, you’ll feel betrayed.
Even if I explain it later, it would be better to say it first.
Still, since Gukbap showed his skills in front, he said that
‘Well, partying with the male quota cadets is a bit… ….’
I won’t.
I didn’t raise Yuri that way! I believe in our soup!
“Gukbap. I’m actually a male quota cadet.”
“…… What?”
After I confessed to Lee Yu-ri in a small voice.
Leaving behind her bewildered expression
Move forward.
“Wait a minute, I’ll pass.”
I go through crowds of people
I waited for a while near the stairs to the podium.
To follow other people when they come.
However,
‘What, why aren’t you coming…… ?’
No one is coming.
Took.
At that time, a red-haired woman shoved my shoulder and strode up the podium.
“…… Uh? Fighting dogs?”
She turned her head with a jerk and glared at me with a twinkle.
As expected, Kang Do-hee is right.
Ah, was he also a special admissions student?
I was chasing the back of her head with a blank face when two men hesitantly approached from behind me.
And a moment of exchange of glances with each other.
─ Hey, you two?
─ Hey, Nadu.
It seems everyone was thinking the same thing as me.
First of all, if someone goes out carrying a gun, they bury him behind him.
But, no way……. Are there three male quota cadets like this?
There are so many men?
“Oh my God, are you by any chance enrolled under the male quota system?”
While we were in the middle of a manly argument about who would go first, a soft voice interrupted.
Let’s turn our heads that way.
There was a woman with long, straight hair with a pure white face and an angelic kindness.
“Nice to meet you! Hello. My name is Shin Se-hee.”
“Wow, Cheonhwa City, the real thing—!”
“…… L, I’m a fan!”
A friendly voice with a gentle demeanor.
I know this woman too.
Shin Se-hee.
Known nickname 【Cheonhwa】
A girl from a prestigious Hunter family.
A 4-star named character who boasts quite excellent magic skills.
Always take the lead in clearing high-level gates, and show kindness to everyone
She was a woman who had enough popularity to say go away from being a celebrity.
She gladly held the hands of the male quota cadets.
“There was a lot of talk about the fact that she chose her men this time… …. Did you have a lot of heartache?”
“Ugh, yes… ….”
“Because we don’t have the ability… ….”
The two male cadets lowered their heads and spoke shyly.
However, Shin Se-hee stroked their hair with a benevolent expression.
“Don’t say anything that humbles yourself. Don’t even feel uncomfortable. I am the one who thinks the male quota system is absolutely necessary.”
“Yes?”
“Why, why?”
“Hmm— just because a woman is naturally strong, you can’t take it for granted or ignore a man. There are roles that only men can play. When I go into the gate sometimes, ah, the men would be much better at times like this… …. I often thought the same thing.”
“Ah… ….”
“Thank you…” ….”
The two men were moved to tears by Shin Se-hee’s words.
On the other hand, I look at it.
‘…… Oh, it’s even creepier seeing it in real life.’
I only felt reluctance because I knew Shin Se-hee’s true nature.
This woman.
Unlike her bright smile and angelic face, she is a very, very, very dark type on the inside.
Besides the nickname 【Cheonhwa】, which means a thousand flowers, there is another one.
[Black Snake], A black snake.
In other words, she is a b*tch who smiles like a flower on the outside and sticks poisonous teeth in the back.
Of course, due to the nature of the game Velvets, users should not select important characters and leave them unattended.
The washing machine works for this kind of character, but
Still, I couldn’t get enough of it.
I looked at her with her cold eyes and then turned her head right away.
‘There’s nothing good about being noticed by a b*tch like this. My goal from the beginning was Kang Do-hee.’
The bad-looking red hair that slapped my shoulder a moment ago.
She was the person I wanted to recruit during this training period.
She was on her podium, her arms crossed, looking down at us with annoyed eyes.
“Hey, can’t you come sooner!? Delivery is delayed because of you guys!”
“Ah, ah! Yes, yes!”
“I’m sorry!”
“Damn, why is Dohee talking like that? Everyone, don’t worry too much. The kid is nice, but he has a bit of a picky side. Come on, let’s go up together.”
I didn’t want to get involved with these guys, so I strode to the top of the podium first.
Then, I can feel the attention of the auditorium being focused in this direction.
What a whispering voice.
I pretended not to know that and stood next to Kang Do-hee.
Then she looked at me, clicked her tongue, and jerked her head away.
‘Well, I must look like the type that he will absolutely hate.’
Kang Do-hee doesn’t hate the lack of ability, he hates the lack of effort.
A woman who always sticks to Dokgo Dai even at the gate.
He was a 5-star dealer who proved everything only with his own skills.
Let’s all get up on the podium.
The supervisor with an expressionless face opened his mouth.
“Everyone is gathered. I’ll check it out in a moment. Are you the special admission students Kang Do-hee and Shin Se-hee?”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
“Then, these are the male quota cadets, Jin Yu-ha, Kim Chul-hyeon, and Kim So-hun.”
“Yes.”
“Yes!”
“Yes!!”
The female supervisor mechanically nodded her head.
“Yes, it is confirmed. Originally, the first week is training by position, followed by joint training, but special admission students and male quota cadets are a little different.”
“…… Yes? How is it different?”
Shin Se-hee tilted her head and asked.
“In this way, from the beginning, the five of us will be grouped together for joint training.”
“Wait a minute, aren’t our positions all different?”
Kang Do-hee asked her, she did not hide her displeasure, if her irritation welled up at the moment.
Then the supervisor answered by flipping through the paper she had brought with her.
“Yes, two dealers, one special, healer, and support. It is like this.”
“Then, it doesn’t make sense to receive basic training for each position, right?”
Shin Se-hee also added that this was unexpected.
“There is no change in the decision. This group also conducts positional training within joint training.”
“…… Under. Why is that? And joint training is just a group regardless of our intentions?”
“I don’t know the details of the reason because it was decided by the seniors, but it seems that the students who entered the special class want to lead the students of the male quota system.”
‘That’s it. If you put the first place in the school and the last in the whole school, the first place will carry the last place and make it useful.’
What if you actually tie it up?
Rather, it’s a mess.
First place is first place Why should I waste my precious time on this bastard?
Last place is last place Why is that bastard boasting about being smart?
Rather, a direct course to Patan!
I laughed out loud.
The fantastic way of thinking of the upper heads seemed to be common here and in the world.
‘But, I rather like it.’
Kang Do-hee is really hard to see in the academy.
Because I’m always out of the academy or I’m stuck in my room.
“Then, in 30 minutes, we’ll meet at the training ground in building C next door.”
In this way, the supervisor spoke in a stiff tone, then turned his back and left as if his business was over.
Pair—!
At that time, Shin Se-hee, who had been hardening her face, suddenly changed into a smiley face and clapped her hands.
“Looks like we have to train together for the next 3 weeks, should we even talk to each other?”
“Kang Do-hee. Dealer. Use of divination. Okay?”
Jeobuck, Jeobuck—
Kang Do-hee hurriedly threw out a few words and left.
Then, the two men looked bewildered.
“Hmm—. What about Dohee, I don’t know! Never mind. Then, shall we introduce ourselves?”
“Yes…… ! I-I like it!”
“Me too!”
The two of them nodded as if fascinated by Shin Se-hee.
Her gaze turned to me.
“What about you?”
“I will go too. I’ll go to the training ground later, not too late.”
“Still, wouldn’t it be better to have a full name together?”
His tone slightly lowered, the corners of his eyes twitching slightly.
‘Why does he care about useless quotas?’
Anyway, her interest is not good.
I needed a good reason to avoid the seat.
“Oh, I need to go to the bathroom right now.”
“…… A bathroom?”
“Yes, the big one.”
“… ….”
Then Shin Se-hee shuts her mouth as if she had nothing to say.
“Tell me your name and go.”
No, Mr. Why does he keep obsessing over me?
There are two kids who are dying here.
“You heard the director calling my name earlier. This is Jin Youha.”
I said that and quickly went outside.
Directly in the direction Kang Do-hee left.
‘Where did he go?’
I turned around and looked for Kang Do-hee, but I couldn’t find him.
In the meantime.
I could see white smoke billowing from the other side of the corner.
‘Over there.’
I moved towards it.
And
The image of Kang Do-hee, leaning against a shabby wall and smoking a cigarette caught my eye.
Her bright red hair, tied up tightly.
A well-proportioned body with sharp eyes.
She wore black leggings and her straight legs and a white tank top highlighted her healthy body.
“Whoa—.”
And thick lips.
Pure white smoke escapes from the cigarette on the tip of her lips.
I watched her and opened her mouth.
“This is not a smoking area.”
Then Kang Do-hee looked at the cigarette left in the pack with a frustrated expression and she alternately looked at the cigarette she was burning, then clicked her tongue.
Took.
I dropped my cigarette.
“Ha, I didn’t know.”
Rubbing the butt with her foot, she raised her head.
And
Our eyes met.
“What are you? Quota system?”
