New Novel🪶
The mont I told them to co over, I felt two energies rapidly approaching from far away.
One hot like blazing flas, the other emitting flashes like rushing lightning.
Whatever the case, ordinary people... no, even decent ability users would imdiately flee.
Irina says it happened by chance, really accidentally seeing.
She ca secretly to surprise but I was laughing heartily with so strange woman.
From both their perspectives, sufficient grounds for misunderstanding.
Of course I'm truly wronged. What other woman? Am I crazy?
One's the Red Witch, the other's the crazy blonde. I'm already overwheld with you two.
And compared to both, Emily's charm is clearly below.
But why would I be crazy enough to turn my gaze to another woman?
"Examiner!"
"Oppa!"
The mont both burst in, I imdiately started explaining the situation.
Guests from Britain, British students attending Joint Academy,
Happened to be acquaintances of Kang Minseong and Ma Hakjun so I sparred a bit,
And crucially, Lee Hyunwoo also wanted to spar so I bridged connections.
"...Is that all?"
The mont she heard my explanation, Suhyeon's eyes sparkled asking questions.
Those red eyes that usually looked so pretty now look very scary.
Adding slight exaggeration, even thoughts of quickly leaving arose.
Can't shrink here. I'm innocent, so why shrink in fear?
That would only have reverse effects. Since I'm confident, must go more confidently.
"More if I do that? That's really all. Why. Need more rivals?"
"N-not that. Earlier when conversing, you looked too harmonious."
That must have been very botherso to Suhyeon's eyes.
From my position, since I'm requesting anyway, I smiled as brightly as possible,
But from unknowing people's perspective, that must have been uncomfortable.
"This is what Kim Suhyeon said is right. You don't know how brightly oppa smiled earlier?"
"What did I smile like?"
"Like this. Like this—"
Irina raises her mouth corners maximally and shows a bright smile.
Though forcing a smile makes it slightly strange, looks good anyway.
More than that, was I really smiling excessively like that? Isn't that a lie?
"Not lying, really. She says so. Had reason to be suspicious."
Hmm. Seems like civil servant habits kicked in again here.
When was it? When I faced civilians with usual expression, they imdiately caused trouble.
Why are you sitting there making expressions that ignore and look down on people?
Aren't those who eat taxes I paid supposed to treat citizens respectfully when they co?
'Still ridiculous thinking about it now, damn bastard.'
Never seen those who talk about taxes actually pay much.
Really big payers lived quietly, but those paying peanuts complained more.
Anyway, after getting burned once like that, smiling beca habit.
Rather than getting cursed for not doing it, better to do it while cursing inside.
"Habit of smiling when dealing with people. Habit from civil servant days, please overlook."
"...Yes. Understood. If the Examiner says that much, I'll believe you."
Fortunately, Suhyeon, who was becoming obsessive, quickly backed down.
Worried what to do if she demanded more, but she didn't cross the line.
"Eh? Hey! Really passing like this?! Should dig deeper!"
Our crazy yellow... Irina seems to think differently though.
"The Examiner said it's not so. Then I should believe him."
"Wow... Earlier looked like you'd break that foreign woman's waist imdiately!"
That, Irina? From your mouth, the words 'foreign woman' are quite strange.
If you think about it, you have the most exotic appearance.
"Seems like you forgot, but your eyes were full of killing intent earlier. Know? You acted like you'd chew up that foreign woman, but now what's this?! Was I the only one doing this?!"
Even at Irina's outcry, Suhyeon tilts her head saying 'Did I do that?'
Hmm. I sowhat understand why Irina called Suhyeon witch-like.
Just earlier the appearance of actively burning flas was clear, but now too peaceful.
Then instantly turning all this to Irina - truly witch-like.
"Anyway, Irina please stop and believe the Examiner's words."
"I'll believe! You're saying that, so should I keep insisting? Who benefits from that!"
'Got played again, damn.' muttering Irina.
Then suddenly she concludes this is all Lee Hyunwoo's fault!
"Why does Lee Hyunwoo's story suddenly co up?"
"Why would it co up! Because Lee Hyunwoo made strange requests to oppa! So oppa ca to convey the request, and we saw that! Ultimately it's that guy's fault!"
"No, how does that connect in such a way..."
"Just wait. I'll definitely get revenge on Lee Hyunwoo."
When Irina ntions revenge, cold sweat flows down my spine unconsciously.
A woman even Elders find disgusting getting revenge? Hyunwoo, what will you do?
"How will you get revenge?"
"From now on, I'll visit whenever I have ti to tornt him."
"Hey. Don't do that. What cri did he commit?"
"Don't know! Cri of bothering oppa and bothering !"
"...So how will you tornt him?"
Not blocking Lee Hyunwoo's path forward, right?
Seems like ridiculous worry, but thinking again, not impossible either.
If S-rank decides to do so, what in the world can't be done?
When the one counted as nation's top military power asks, no one can oppose.
Especially if it's not just any S-rank but 'Irina'!
"How will I tornt him? He wanted sparring so made strange requests getting oppa involved with strange won? Right after that sparring ends, I'll imdiately visit and spar with him. I'll tornt him so much he'll never say sparring again."
"...?"
Wait. You just said you'll fight Lee Hyunwoo without rest?
That was tornting? No matter how I see it, you're only doing good things for Lee Hyunwoo.
"Just watch. Hehehe. I'll make him beg to be spared!"
No, that guy will just laugh happily!
---
"Kuhahhat! Wahahahaha!!"
"..."
See that. What did I say? He'd laugh happily, right?
To tornt Lee Hyunwoo, should prevent him from sparring.
Day after getting slight misunderstanding from Suhyeon and Irina,
True to her word, Irina really barged in right after Lee Hyunwoo and Emily's sparring.
Then giggling 'Hey! Who said rest! Not getting up?!' starting sparring.
Probably ca targeting when Lee Hyunwoo was tired, tornting under sparring pretense,
Legally trampling that annoying him.
But this ti Irina completely misjudged. That doesn't work on him.
"This feeling like my heart will burst! This sensation of blood crazily flowing through my whole body! So good! Thank you, Irina! Exactly this tension, this spine-tingling atmosphere I wanted!!"
"What are you saying, you crazy bastard!"
My goodness. Getting called crazy bastard by Irina.
Amazing, Hyunwoo. If you write your life achievent list, definitely include this.
CRASH!— RUMBLE!—
Shocked, Irina sends Lee Hyunwoo, who was charging at her, flying far away.
Clearly initially said she'd tornt plenty, make him collapse from exhaustion.
But now conversely she's the one fed up making sour expressions.
"Hey, don't you hurt?"
"It hurts! But isn't this pain proof I'm really making effort!"
"Bullshit! Pain is pain! What effort?! Getting stronger is proof of effort!"
"I heard there's no growth without pain!"
"From who!"
"The Examiner said so!!"
At Lee Hyunwoo's words, Irina turns her head with a 'whoosh!' sound.
Then looks at , those eyes asking if it's true.
Nod—
Certainly, I did say such things to Lee Hyunwoo before.
Precisely, I said it to Bronze students including Lee Hyunwoo.
In case these guys might give up halfway saying it's too hard,
To convey that difficulty and pain are natural.
Rather hoping they'd overco that pain and advance more forcefully—
"Agh! Since oppa said so, can't say anything!"
Screaming while slamming Lee Hyunwoo to the ground once more.
By the way, that's not grabbing his collar but grabbing his sword and slamming down.
"Kkeueut!"
"Now lie still!"
"Not yet! Still... still can do a bit more!"
From Irina's perspective, she might carelessly harm my student going full power,
So she's treating very carefully, but thanks to that Lee Hyunwoo is thriving.
Continuously losing at manageable levels ans continuously being able to challenge!
"Sleep now, sleep!"
From Irina's perspective, can't treat Lee Hyunwoo like villains, so doing moderately,
But unfortunately Lee Hyunwoo absolutely won't kneel to ordinary damage like Suhyeon.
Whether getting trendous protagonist buffs or because of traits, don't know,
But one thing certain - treating him like Suhyeon won't work at all.
"What kind of cockroach-like guy is this?!"
"Thank you!"
"Not a complint, you bastard!"
No. That's definitely a complint. Especially if Irina says so.
That Irina calling you persistent - who could complain about that?
When Irina and Lee Hyunwoo's sparring reached climax,
"...I need to work harder too."
"Yes?"
"A-rank enduring like that against that Irina. Indeed, the Republic of Korea is truly amazing. They said the land of quiet dawn mastered war arts, and that was true!"
"..."
Emily, who was quietly watching the situation from the side, muttered like that.
