chapter 32
032. Dalian (2)
Blink blink─
When you open your eyes, you see the familiar ceiling.
When I turned my head toward the window, the scenery was dark.
“Um… …. Is it dawn? I must have fallen asleep last night.”
Shin Se-hee blinked and slowly stood up from the bed.
My whole body was drenched in a cold sweat and I felt uncomfortable.
“…… It was a really bad dream.”
She frowned and touched her throbbing forehead.
“Are you drinking alcohol you don’t drink? I really have a dream…….”
As I reflected on the contents of my dream, I felt a sense of desolation.
A dream in which you beg to be included in Jin Yu-ha’s party.
In the face of not being enough even if you cling and fret over there, you’ve done all the ugliness.
Even in his dream, he was in a low profile from beginning to end, as if he were going to hang on by his ankles.
Now that it’s at this point, it’s beyond unpleasant and feels rather fresh.
No matter how attractive his party looked, there was no way he would do something like that.
“Haa, by the way, I didn’t think you would offer me a party… ….”
Certainly, this incident left a significant scar on her lofty pride.
Originally, Jin Yu-ha, who had confirmed her competence through Kang Do-hee’s case, proposed a party, and she drew a picture of her reluctantly accepting it.
Instead of entering the party and giving it away, they even put various conditions on it.
However, it’s completely ignored.
It was the first time for her.
Because I am a person who chooses someone, not a person who waits to be chosen.
“No, this is a fight.”
Shin Se-hee shook her head and smiled.
I’m sure it will.
In his future, there could be no other person as helpful and necessary as himself.
Jin Yu-ha is a man who has been wary from the beginning. So this time, he was careful not to easily bring himself into the party.
“But this time the method was bad. Yoo Ha Jin. As much as you dare to fight me. Be prepared to pay for it. It won’t be easy even if you get down on your knees and beg to come in.”
Suddenly, Shin Se-hee cleared her throat.
“By the way, my throat is a bit dry.”
She pressed the red button next to the bed.
Beep—
And let’s wait a bit.
Smart smart ─
A knock came from outside the door.
“Come in.”
Kikik─
Secretary Kim opened the door with a worried face and came in.
Sensibly, on the tray he brought in, there was honey water with ice floating on it.
“Shin Se-hee. Are you okay?”
“I’m fine except for a little headache.”
“This is honey water.”
“Thank you.”
Kokkap─
She took the honey water and took a sip.
As the cool refreshing sensation and sweetness passed through her throat, she felt that her drowsy head cleared up a bit.
“For now, we have secured the culprit who stole the necklace. That guy was right.”
“I see. Be sure to handle it.”
“Yes.”
Based on Jin Yu-ha’s information, the culprit who stole the necklace was caught.
Now the thief would live to see hell.
Because he dared to covet his own and put filth on his name.
“By the way, Secretary Kim. How long have I been asleep?”
“I think I slept for about 6 hours.”
Secretary Kim answered while looking at the watch on her wrist.
“…… Hmmm, then I’ll have to get ready soon. I already got penalty points, but I can’t be late for morning training.”
“Morning training? What do you mean?”
“Yes? Wouldn’t it be dawn now if I drank and fell asleep for about six hours?”
“It’s evening now…… ?”
“?”
Shin Se-hee drank the honey water again and tilted her head.
“Oh, and I conveyed the message well to Jin Yu-ha.”
“Did Jin Yu-ha catch the culprit of her necklace? That’s what I meant to say.”
“No. Are you referring to the fact that I took care of Shin Se-hee today?”
“…… Yes?”
A strangely out of focus conversation.
Shin Se-hee was embarrassed because she did not understand what Secretary Kim was saying.
Obviously, I fell asleep while drinking yesterday, but now it’s not dawn. What do you mean by night, and what do you mean by Jin Yu-ha taking care of you?
“Wait a minute. What do you mean?”
“A while ago, Shin Se-hee called me on her phone. Shin Se-hee is drunk, so come pick me up.”
“Did I meet Jin Yu-ha today?”
“Yes, didn’t you ask to find out where he was earlier during the day?”
In an instant, Shin Se-hee’s pupils trembled like an earthquake.
‘Stop, no way… ….’
Unfortunately, her head was clear.
Given some clues, her brain started putting together the puzzle at will.
“Gi, Secretary Kim. Ho, maybe I didn’t go to a soup restaurant today…… ? Oh, tell me no. My, please.”
Shin Se-hee asked desperately, holding onto even a straw.
I couldn’t help but feel my voice tremble.
“Yes. You’re right. Jin Yu-ha went there to eat, so she said she would visit, so she didn’t even send me off.”
Kung.
Her chest sinks.
‘Well, now it’s night, not dawn… …. It wasn’t all a dream, it was something that happened during the day…… ?’
Newly, memories from dreams come to mind.
Self clinging to him while ejaculating.
However, Jin Yu-ha proposes a party to a strange woman as if she doesn’t care about herself.
‘Is that all real?’
And what else did he say…… ?
─ Again, again! Only others put in, why me! I am!
Shin Se-hee’s face turned red in an instant.
‘Ah.’
“Kyaaa!! Crazy!!!!!”
Shin Se-hee wrapped her head around her and let out a scream at her.
Clang-
The cup fell to the floor and shattered, making a sharp sound.
* * *
The second weekend.
The day of group practice is dawning.
We first gathered at the training ground.
Shin Se-hee, why is he like that again?
The child stands with her face turned away as if her neck is broken.
“I will explain about today’s group match.”
Baek Seol-hee opened her mouth with her usual sullen face.
“Group matches are held in a tournament format. A total of 32 groups will conduct sparring at their assigned training grounds. Round of 32, Round of 16, and Round of 8 today. That’s how we do three matches in total.”
The group match was in a tournament format.
I’m glad then.
‘As long as I keep winning, I’ll be able to play with Gukbap someday.’
I nodded.
“From the quarterfinals, next week. On the last day of basic training, it is held as an open sparring at the grand training ground.”
“Today, if we were to do it at the assigned training ground… ….”
“It means that the other side has to come here or we have to go.”
“Then is there a schedule for us to move?”
“No, no. Everyone will come from the other side.”
Baek Seol-hee shook her head and put on a strangely proud expression.
After watching her for the past two weeks, I can now read a little bit of emotion from her expressionless face.
The night before.
Baek Seol-hee held a meeting with the instructors assigned to basic training this time.
─ Seo, senior. But if you can save me face just once…….
─ You mean I’ll lead the cadets to your training ground?
─ That, that’s…….
─ Good. Then fight with the sword. If you fight with me and win, I will personally go to you.
─ Oh, oh, no! I, we’ll go, we’ll go!!! Car, put the knife in please!!!
In the end, it is a fight over who comes and goes in the group stage Dalian.
Among the instructors, those with lower ranks had to go around all three matches, while those with higher ranks had to accept challengers on the spot.
Baek Seol-hee was in the position that she had to come from the other side unconditionally as she was in the rank right below the chairman.
In the end, it was a hotbed of absurdity that all the cadets in charge had to pay. Well, if there is dissatisfaction, wouldn’t it be better if the rank was higher?
Looking at Seolhee Baek with a proud expression on her face, I was lost in her thoughts.
‘Umm, then I wonder if I can meet Gukbap for the first time?’
32 Articles. So, the probability of meeting one of the 31 groups excluding us.
In other words, 1/31.
‘3.2%? Are you a b*tch hyeja?’
The probability of picking a 5-star pick-up character in Velvets is 0.4%.
8 Times higher probability than that!
Isn’t this possible enough for me who pulled out Alice with one coin in the first gacha?
‘Just today, I will meet Yu-Ri’s Joe and show off my skills. Finished the party recruiting proposal. Wouldn’t that be neat!?’
Though I turned the happy circuit like that.
There was no change.
‘Who are these guys?’
I frowned at the failure of the gacha and looked at my opponent.
Children with strangely downcast faces. Instructors were no exception.
A short distance away, Seolhee Baek and her partner, the instructor, were talking to each other.
‘Detection.’
“…… Ha. Senior. Fighting dogs and heaven. Isn’t this too out of balance?”
“Put ‘nim’ on it. Stupid b*tch.”
“…… Seniors.”
“That’s why you filled the magic restraint.”
“I guess I should!”
“I’m sorry, but that magic restraint tool isn’t just an ordinary magic tool. It was created by the chairman himself.”
“…… M-Majenim!?”
Baek Seol-hee nodded her head.
“Let’s check it out.”
As she clicked her chin, her counterinstructor came towards us, her face unable to erase her doubts.
She passed me and headed towards Kang Do-hee.
“…… Cadet Kang Do-hee. Excuse me, can I take a look at those restraints for a moment?”
“Yes, what.”
Kang Do-hee, as if it was not a big deal, took off the bracelet she was wearing on her wrist and handed it to her.
Then, putting the bracelet on her arm, the instructor said with a shocked face.
“…… Huh! Mmm crazy! You’re going to go this far!?”
“Yes, only then will we be able to level the competition.”
“Wow… …. What? It seems like something I could really do…… ?”
She tilted her head.
She raised the corner of her mouth.
“Senior. Even if we win today, you don’t have personal feelings?”
“Put ‘nim’ on it. Stupid guy.”
The opposing instructor asked for an operation time for a while and then summoned their party members.
And after a while.
“Then, let’s start sparring.”
The group match has begun.
