Breaking Up with the Heroine of the Female-Oriented Game

“I sincerely welcome you to the Hero Training Academy Union.”

I looked up at the podium.

The principal, dressed neatly, was reciting his speech.

After listening to the principal’s words for a moment, I quickly scanned the surroundings.

Then, the expansive view of the auditorium unfolded before my eyes.

The many students sitting quietly.

The instructors standing in an orderly manner.

The banners hanging in the distance.

[The 2023 Union Academy Entrance Ceremony for New Students (Hero)]

All these scenes were both incredibly familiar to me, and yet, at the same time, so very unfamiliar.

“The representative for the 20th Union Academy freshman class, Lee Siwoon, please come forward.”

Was it then?

The principal called out the name of a male student.

Lee Siwoon promptly walked up to the podium.

The gazes of trainees and visitors were plastered on him.

In an instant, all attention was sharply focused as if arrows had been shot through the air.

But Lee Siwoon, with an expression of indifference, merely scanned the faces of the crowd without a care for the thousands of eyes upon him.

“Look over there. That’s the Lee Siwoon, Lee Siwoon.”

“Lee Siwoon, the grandson of SL Group?”

“And he’s really handsome too~.”

“I know, right. He looks even better in person.”

Whispers everywhere.

The murmurs buzzed in my ears.

A group of female students sat a short distance away, chatting excitedly like sparrows.

Handsome, a rich family’s young master, a genius.

Their faces were a mix of admiration and friendliness.

“Wow, damn. Even as a guy, I can see he’s really good-looking.”

“Stand next to him, and I’d look like a total squid, right?”

“Life is so freaking unfair. Talented and from a rich family, and good-looking too… damn.”

The male students clicked their tongues with sullen faces.

Unlike the female students, they were busy spitting out their envy.

Well, that’s understandable.

Lee Siwoon was nearly perfect in every way.

Appearance, family background, talent, abilities…

From the perspective of other men, it’s only natural to feel envious.

If you put it half-jokingly, Lee Siwoon was like a character you’d only expect to find in a genre aimed at women.

‘Lee Siwoon, huh…’

I gazed at Lee Siwoon, who had begun to read his oath on the podium, and I fell into deep thought.

Lee Siwoon.

The top student of the 20th Union Academy freshman class.

The grandson of a conglomerate within the top five of South Korea’s business hierarchy.

One of the disciples of the Swordsmen, soon to be recognized as one of the academy’s most outstanding talents.

His face, as you can see, unsurpassed among the male trainees at the academy.

If I remember correctly, didn’t he win first place twice in a row in the male character popularity polls?

“Wait, is that guy Kang Daehan?”

“Kang Daehan?”

While I was looking at Lee Siwoon, one female student widened her eyes in surprise, tapped her friend’s shoulder, and gestured toward a male student.

I too shifted my gaze to catch a glimpse of the male student’s figure from afar.

“Yawn~… Ugh.”

There sat a male student with hair dyed red, yawning loudly in an indolent posture.

He brought to mind the image of a delinquent or a loafer.

But Kang Daehan was no ordinary delinquent.

After all, he is a descendant of the legendary hero, Kang Cheolun.

“Kang Daehan, as in the HanYoung Clan?”

“The HanYoung Clan has had some bad rumors, but still.”

“Still, it’s one of the representative clans of South Korea, right?”

Kang Daehan.

The fifth-ranked student of the 20th Union Academy freshman class.

The second son of South Korea’s representative hero, Kang Cheolun.

Renowned for his temperamental nature and animalistic senses, just like his father.

His practical combat skills are expected to rank alongside Lee Siwoon at the top.

However, due to his poor academic scores, he was only accepted into the fifth seat of the academy.

Among the female fans, opinions vary, but he has a cult-like following among some.

His capricious and tough demeanor has earned him fans who like the ‘bad boy’ or ‘beast man’ image.

I think he has ranked between first and third several times in the male character popularity polls.

‘To think that I would see these guys all in one place.’

Lee Siwoon and Kang Daehan.

I know these two people very well.

I can confidently say that I know them better than anyone else here.

Because these two men are the most important ‘Heroes’ in this world.

“Jinhyuk.”

As I sat there, stealing glances at the male leads and lost in thought.

“Why have you been staring like that?”

A sweet voice caressed my ears.

I turned my head towards the source of the light and refreshing voice, and suddenly, I could see a silhouette.

“Ah-ha~.”

The female student looking at me with a cheeky expression and playful corners of her eyes.

“Looking for a pretty girl, by any chance?”

She laughed with an air of easy familiarity, and I slowly met the gaze of the female student.

Dark hair as if gathered from the night sky.

Skin as pale and tender as ivory, like that of a newborn.

Eyes sparkling mischievously with lashes spread wide.
‘It never gets old, even after more than ten years.’
Just by looking at her quietly, she could melt a man’s heart.
She was like a masterpiece painted with the life’s passion of a famous artist.
She was beautiful enough to remind me of the idiom ‘Goddess of the Moon Palace.’
‘Well, to capture the hearts of numerous male leads, one would need that level of beauty.’
Perhaps one could say her beauty was ‘probable’?
“……”
I brushed off the pointless thought and contemplated the beauty of the female student.
Her name is Jin Soyeon.
One of the many aspiring heroes who entered Union Academy ranked at 257.
But it would be a mistake to think of Jin Soyeon as just a beautiful girl with aspirations of heroism.

Because Jin Soyeon is destined to receive courtship from numerous male leads and become the greatest hero of the Academy.

“What’s wrong? Why are you like that?”

She’s the unique heroine of this female-oriented game, ‘Romance Hero Academy,’ and at the same time.

“Is there something on my face?”

She’s my one and only girlfriend.

“No.”

That’s right.

I have been reincarnated as an NPC from a female-oriented RPG game I played in my past life.

“Just took a glance.”

The reincarnation of the NPC, Lee Jin-hyuk, who was jealously tormented by numerous male characters and made an exit from the
stage in defeat.
