The Heroine Saves the World

The heroine saves the world

Episode 25

He was a bigger person than the one I saw on screen last time.

Not only his height and physique, but his presence was also like that.

The consultation room seemed to be full just because a famous artist came in.

When reading , he was a character that was sometimes annoying, but also had many good points.

I was staring blankly at Yoo Myung-hwa, forgetting the situation for a moment, when I quickly returned to reality when I saw Kwak Ji-hyun following in.

‘Are you laughing?’

Kwak Ji-hyun, a class A buffer who still has a split lip and bruises, perhaps because she hasn’t received treatment yet, stood behind Yoo Myung-hwa, smiling slyly.

“It’s been a while, Guildmaster of Justice.”

“Is that so?”

Kang-han answered vaguely.

I’m sure you can’t remember the last time you saw that one.

He always said that when he was in trouble.

I look at Kang-han, who still maintains a blank expression, and I feel a stinging gaze on my cheek.

It was a famous painting.

“Healer Na Yeo-ju.”

“yes.”

“Please answer my phone.”

“Oh, you called?”

You should only have one or two blocked numbers.

“I think you blocked me.”

“… … First, let’s talk about today’s work?”

I change the subject when I’m in trouble.

Yoo Myeong-hwa, who chuckled at my words, sat down on the other side of the table.

“I came in a hurry, so I couldn’t properly understand the situation. Could you excuse me for a moment and listen to my story?”

“Oh, yes! I am Lee Yu-chan’s homeroom teacher. Let me explain briefly… … .”

The homeroom teacher took a handkerchief out of his pocket and began to explain the whole story.

* * *

The homeroom teacher wiped the sweat running down his forehead once more.

Gulp.

It was all because of the high-level hunters gathered in this counseling room.

Not only is he famous, but the leader of the guild, Kang Han, is also an S-class.

Besides, the healer Na Yeo-ju and student Kwak Ji-hyeon sitting next to Lee Yu-chan are A-class.

As a D-rank Awakened, it was his first time being in the same space with such high-ranking Hunters, even though he was already middle-aged.

“… … That, that’s what happened.”

After finishing his rather long story, he felt like he wanted to die.

Now the famous painter will be angry.

Then, will you be able to withstand that pressure?

I might faint.

The homeroom teacher tightly held the handkerchief in his hand.

“okay.”

However, the famous painter showed a surprisingly calm reaction.

He seemed to be lost in thought for a moment, then got up from his seat.

Knock knock.

The sound of chairs being dragged echoed through the consulting room.

“As the leader of the Dongbaek Guild, who is responsible for Hunter Kwak Ji-hyun, I apologize.”

Although the homeroom teacher was supposed to mediate and end the situation as quietly as possible, he was momentarily dumbfounded and lost for words.

The same was true for Kwak Ji-hyun, who had been sitting with a relaxed expression the whole time.

I thought I’d properly embarrass the people in the Justice Guild and leave the counseling room laughing even louder.

“Hunter Kwak Ji-hyun.”

“yes yes?”

“Get up and formally apologize to Hunter Lee Yu-chan.”

“uh…….”

When Kwak Ji-hyun hesitated for a moment, Yoo Myeong-hwa’s eyes became scary.

Only then did Kwak Ji-hyeon come to her senses, and she quickly got up from her seat and bowed her head.

Yuminghwa didn’t stop there, and added politely.

“Even though it is a non-combat situation, Hunter Kwak Ji-hyun, a Class A, should not have caused a conflict with Hunter Lee Yu-chan, a Class C, for any reason. Especially not on campus. I sincerely apologize.”

“Ah, right. As expected, the Dongbaek Guild Leader is a great person. Then, let’s end this incident with an apology and reconciliation… … .”

“So, in the end, it’s because of the difference in grades?”

Kang-han asked.

“It sounds like the logic is that since Yoochan is in Class C, it’s because Kwak Jihyun, who is in Class A, is at fault.”

The famous painter raised his head that had been bowed down.

The serious face had suddenly regained its usual relaxed smile.

“Well, isn’t that right?”

“Hmm.”

“Oh my.”

Eventually, an exasperated sigh escaped Na Yeo-ju and Kang Han-yi’s mouths at the same time.

And the one who rushed in was the female protagonist.

“Even adults do this, right?”

* * *

The famous painter had that kind of side to him.

Sometimes I’m so goal-oriented that I wonder if there’s something wrong with my head.

Outside of the goal, it becomes meaningless, like the camera’s focus being blurred.

“Phew.”

Still, I took a deep breath before speaking so as not to use harsh language in front of minors.

“If even adults talk like that, what will the children become when they grow up?”

As I said that, I was momentarily struck by the fact that I already knew the answer.

What the heck.

Higher grades become adults who think grades are everything and arrogantly look down on lower grades.

And even low grades set their own limits, thinking that grades are everything.

Even though the system doesn’t work that way.

At that moment, a small speech bubble appeared above Yu Myeong-hwa’s head along with the now familiar yet still masculine notification sound of ‘Pporororong-‘.

《 ♥ 9 》

Whatever.

I asked student Kwak Ji-hyeon, who was still standing there awkwardly, looking at the adults’ faces.

“Who fired the first shot?”

“Uh, that’s… … .”

“Speak properly.”

Even the famous painter put pressure on him from the side.

“I… … this.”

This is a completely different statement from what the homeroom teacher has been saying all along.

Well then, that’s right.

I learned about this from the attitude of the homeroom teacher who tried to somehow cover up the situation while calling it a violent incident.

I asked afterward.

“Has our Yuchan ever bullied or done anything bad to students?”

“There’s no such thing… ….”

“Then why did student Kwak Ji-hyeon hit Yoo-chan in the cafeteria today?”

“I didn’t mean to hit you!”

Kwak Ji-hyun cried out in frustration.

“I threw the plate at Lee Yu-eul! That guy, no, Yoo-chan was right next to me and just got hit… … .”

Oh, that wound wasn’t caused by hitting with your hand, but by using a weapon, or rather a plate?

The one who was flustered by Kwak Ji-hyun’s flowing words was the homeroom teacher.

“You didn’t say that when I asked you!”

“… … You didn’t ask. You just told me to go to the guild… … .”

There’s nothing more to ask the homeroom teacher.

I continued to look only at Kwak Ji-hyun and spoke.

“Why did you start a fight with the twins who never bullied Kwak Ji-hyeon before?”

“that…….”

“Shall I try to guess? I hate the sight of Yoochan, who can’t even use his skills properly at C-class, getting better training grades than student Kwak Jihyun. Am I right?”

“… … .”

Kwak Ji-hyun still looked at me with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

Yeah, I guess there hasn’t been an adult to teach you yet.

In an environment like this Awakening School, it might be normal to think like Kwak Ji-hyun.

I changed my tone to something a little softer.

“Can we talk comfortably for a moment?”

“yes…….”

“Friend, from the moment you awaken, you are a high school student, but you are also a hunter. The only ones you should compare yourself to are the hunters active in Dongbaek Guild and other large guilds.”

Once outside the narrow confines of the Awakening School, Kwak Ji-hyun is no longer a high school student.

The title of A-class hunter comes first.

“Now that we’re out of school, we need to learn to look further.”

In short, it was time to grow up.

“ah…….”

There was no real answer, but I could tell that Kwak Ji-hyun had realized something.

Because your gaze has changed.

After that, I didn’t say anything more.

It gave Kwak Ji-hyun time to think.

After a while, a quiet voice flowed out towards Lee Yu-chan.

“Sorry.”

“what?”

Lee Yu-chan asked back in a cold, windy voice, still angry.

“That thing you said about your parents, and that thing you threw your plate at and started a fight. And that thing you said at the end.”

“and?”

Kang-han uncrossed his arms and asked firmly.

“I won’t do it again. I was short-sighted. I’m really sorry.”

“……okay.”

Lee Yu-chan nodded.

An apology was received, but reconciliation was another story.

That’s up to Lee Yu-chan to decide.

Now that things are on track, a question suddenly arises.

“But what did you say at the end? What did you say that made you rush at me?”

“… … You don’t have to know.”

Lee Yu-chan shut his mouth tightly and turned his head away.

“Yeah, you have a private life too.”

Eventually, Lee Yu-chan’s earlobes turned red.

“Anyway, teacher.”

I smiled at my homeroom teacher.

“Isn’t this the real apology and closure?”

* * *

We made Lee Yu-chan leave work early.

After confirming that Dongbaek Guild was taking Kwak Ji-hyun, he grabbed Lee Yu-chan’s face with both hands.

“What is this pretty face?”

“Oh, don’t do that!”

Lee Yu-chan frowned and struggled to get out of my hands, but it wasn’t a very active resistance.

“Just stay still.”

[Use the skill ‘Body Healing’.]

As my stamina decreased, the bruise on Lee Yu-chan’s forehead completely disappeared.

‘What would I do if I got a scar on this face?’

I took off my glasses and looked at Lee Yu-chan’s face, which was fresh and innocent, and thought.

He’s still young, so this is about it.

Later on, it was a face that became a national treasure of the Republic of Korea because it was so strong.

At that moment, I first felt someone approaching from behind, and then I heard a voice.

“Healer Na Yeo-ju, can we talk for a moment?”

It was Yoo Myeong-hwa holding out a business card in one hand and a charming smile on her face.
