Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 112

Runaway (1)

It’s already been over five months since I entered the Magic Hall. If I just hold on a little longer, it’ll be half a year.

As I waved my sword in the air, entrusting my body and mind to the cool breeze, everything in the world became tiresome.

‘The weather is nice.’

I was yawning and unconsciously swinging my sword in the air, and I just wanted to lie down and sleep.

“Seeing you so relaxed, I think you should have a fight with the instructor.”

If it weren’t for Chu Il-hwan’s voice that happened to be heard at that moment.

‘Tch.’

He clicked his tongue inwardly and quickly straightened his posture.

“It’s a misunderstanding, Instructor. I was just slowly swinging it around to collect my thoughts.”

When I said that to Instructor Chu Il-hwan, who was visible beyond the three members of the Inui Curtain, Chu Il-hwan smiled his characteristic smile.

“Wow. That’s a good idea.”

But for some reason, unlike the smile on his lips, the veins on his forehead stood out.

‘Is it menopause? I’ve been feeling particularly sensitive lately.’

It was quite early for menopause to have begun, but for someone who had practiced magic all her life, wouldn’t it be surprising if mental problems came quickly?

‘Or maybe it’s because you can’t satisfy your sexual desire?’

When I thought of Chuilhwan’s castle walls, I got goosebumps for some reason.

‘Come to think of it, I’ve been getting goosebumps lately… . No way?’

Suddenly an ominous thought comes to mind.

Could it be that crazy pervert is secretly chasing me?

Naturally, his eyes narrowed and he looked at Chu Il-hwan with a suspicious gaze.

“What’s with those eyes? Are you looking forward to seeing the instructor?”

I had to force myself to look away at the sight of Chu Il-hwan, with his smile getting deeper and the black lightning crackling in his right hand.

‘You don’t avoid poop because it’s scary. You avoid it because it’s dirty.’

Now the only shit left that I had to avoid at all costs was Chu Il-hwan.

‘It seems like that Dokgo guy keeps his promise.’

Thanks to your advice, I never applied for a scholarship first, except when there was a test or when the instructor instructed me to do so.

For some reason, a government official named Gwak-sul was living in the Dokgo gang’s custody in my stead, but it was none of my business.

‘Now, I don’t think there’s any need to go further to that empty lot.’

Jeong-hyeon, Joo-seo-yeon, Bang-mi-hwa, and Ha-young. A total of four women were training or practicing acting together there.

To be exact, Bang Mi-hwa was mostly practicing acting by herself.

Ha-young was clapping enthusiastically on the side, while Jeong-hyeon and Joo-seo-yeon were just like the background of the stage.

In any case, it was important that Jeong-Hyeon had adapted to the three of them to some extent, perhaps because they had been together in the empty lot for about a month.

‘Bang Mi-hwa is also into acting, and Dokgo-pae is with Kwak-sul. There are no more people chasing after her, so there’s really no need to go to that empty lot anymore, right?’

Could it be that true peace has arrived?

‘Okay. From today on, I’ll just stay locked up in the Black Dragon Hall.’

The thought occurred to me that the life I had been dreaming of in the Magic Academy might finally begin.

* * *

That afternoon.

As usual, Jeong-Hyeon was the first to arrive at a quiet, empty lot.

“Yum.”

She took a bite of the rice ball she took out of her arms, then raised her head and looked up at the blue sky.

Because of the side effects of the Ghost Shrine, she dislikes crowded places. After class, she would always stop by the restaurant, get some rice balls, and come to an empty lot like this to eat alone.

Because she was extremely sensitive when people got close, it took a lot of courage for her to eat with someone.

Aside from the awkwardness, you’ll definitely get it.

However, that doesn’t mean that eating alone like this every time was enjoyable.

‘… If we get to know each other a little better, can we have a meal together?’

Ichimoku’s face overlapped the clouds floating in the sky.

‘If it’s that distance, it should be okay.’

If you were to eat together while standing just as far away as that cloud, wouldn’t you be able to enjoy your meal without feeling uncomfortable, even if it’s just you?

She savored her rice ball alone for a while, thinking pure thoughts, not knowing how far away the clouds actually were.

After eating all the rice balls, I was rinsing my hands and quenching my thirst with the water from the bottle I brought with me. Then I felt a presence at the entrance to the vacant lot.

“Jeong Hyun-kwan! As expected, you were the first to arrive!”

Jeong-hyeon smiled awkwardly at the sight of Joo Seo-yeon greeting him with a lively voice again today.

It was partly because I was awkward dealing with people, but also because of Ichimoku’s advice.

‘You told me to avoid being alone with you.’

Jeong-Hyeon couldn’t understand why Ilmok gave such advice.

But even though she didn’t know why, she remained faithful to Ichimoku’s advice.

As soon as Joo Seo-yeon, who was smiling brightly, took a step closer, Jeong-hyeon took a step back.

Despite his avoidant attitude, Joo Seo-yeon remained bright and cheerful.

“Ah! This is too uncomfortable! Hahaha! Then I’ll stop here!”

It was because I knew from the beginning that Jeong-Hyeon couldn’t get close to people.

Joo Seo-yeon suddenly sat down on the spot and looked up at the sky with a blank expression.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Naturally, an awkward silence fell over the empty lot.

If he was someone who enjoyed being alone in the first place, then it wouldn’t be different. Jeong-Hyeon wanted to be with people. It’s just that he couldn’t do it because of his constitution.

And as is often the case with people who want to be with people but have lost their social skills, this silence was suffocating.

Because I somehow felt like it was because of me.

‘You can do it, Jeong-Hyeon! You’ve been practicing!’

Jeong-hyeon, who recalled the memories of being tormented by Baek-cheon who had now left, opened her mouth, summoning up the courage of her life.

“What, what are you thinking about?”

If Baekcheon had seen it, he would have patted his shoulder and said that he had grown up well, and thanks to that, it was the moment when Jeong-hyeon succeeded in making an action that could cause a fight.

In response to Jeong-hyeon’s question, Joo Seo-yeon answered by still staring into space and pointing a finger towards the clouds.

“I was thinking of Jin Ha-yeon. That cloud really looked like you.”

Since Jin Ha-yeon was someone who had been with Ilmok until he entered the Magic Academy, Jeong-hyeon was naturally curious about Jin Ha-yeon.

“If you are Jin Ha-yeon, are you talking about the person who was a poet and maid of Confucius Ilmok?”

And that was the wrong choice.

Joo Seo-yeon’s head, which had been facing the sky, turned strangely to the side and radiated clear light in Jeong-hyeon’s eyes.

“You’ve heard of Jin Ha-yeon! Hahaha. Jin Ha-yeon is someone whose beauty would be so great that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say she’s a flower carved from the ice of an eternal snow-capped mountain. On the outside, she seems cold and elegant, but that’s just her appearance! In her heart, she breathes with a heat like volcanic lava! Isn’t she like birds swimming on the river? On the outside, she’s noble and proud, but underneath the water, she’s working hard and devoting herself to overcome the harsh storms of the world… .”

Praise for Jin Ha-yeon flowed out of Joo Seo-yeon’s mouth without stopping.

For a while, I listened to Joo Seo-yeon’s spell with a blank expression as if I was under a trance.

Jeong-Hyeon was barely able to escape from Joo Seo-Yeon’s brainwashing when he felt a presence at the entrance to the vacant lot.

“Oh ho ho. What kind of fun stories are you sharing?”

Jeong-hyeon let out a sigh of relief at the sight of Bang Mi-hwa approaching him while spreading out her fan.

In fact, Bang Mi-hwa was a burdensome opponent for Jeong Hyeon.

It wasn’t because of his cocky, smirking appearance or his self-indulgent attitude.

Anyway, since it was similar to Baekcheon, it was a personality I was familiar with.

It was just that I felt burdened because I often glanced at myself after what happened in the bathroom last time.

However, what made me feel relieved at Bang Mi-hwa’s appearance was the character that would appear after her.

“???”

However, for some reason, even though Bang Mi-hwa arrived, Il-mok was nowhere to be seen. Only Bang Mi-hwa’s best friend, Ha-young, was with her.

While Jeong-hyeon was feeling suspicious, Joo Seo-yeon and Bang Mi-hwa started talking.

“I was talking about the woman I admire the most. Hahaha.”

“Oh. You were telling my story.”

“This is Jin Ha-yeon. She’s from Eunwigak and she’s very beautiful. Hahaha.”

“Hehehe. There’s no need to be so embarrassed, Joo Seo-yeon. You should blame my charm that makes people of all ages and genders fall for me. Hohoho.”

The two were having a question-and-answer session that made you wonder if it could even be called a conversation.

Let’s just sit back and watch this feast of nonsense for a moment.

‘You can do it, Jeong-Hyeon! You succeeded just now, right?’

Jeong-Hyeon repeated this to himself and then carefully opened his mouth.

“I… Where did Prince Ilmok go?”

Bang Mi-hwa, who had been bragging about herself, answered as if a memory had just occurred to her, folding up her fan with a snap.

“By the way, Prince Ichimoku won’t be here today. He said he has some other business to attend to.”

“yes?”

For a moment, Jeong-Hyeon was at a loss for words at the unexpected news.

“… … .”

She realized belatedly that an awkward silence had fallen in the empty lot.

“!?”

When she came to her senses, what she saw was Bang Mi-hwa staring at her intently.

“Come to think of it, there are no Baekcheon Guan Do or Ilmok Gongja today, so there are only women.”

Bang Mi-hwa, who was always so confident, for some reason covered her mouth with her fan and spoke.

“So, can you answer honestly as a woman to woman? Jeong Hyeon-gwan too.”

“Wh, what do you mean?”

As Jeong-hyeon asked again, trembling with an inexplicable sense of foreboding, Bang Mi-hwa boldly took a step forward.

As Jeong-hyeon stepped back that distance, Bang Mi-hwa opened her fan and pointed to some part of Jeong-hyeon’s body.

“That. What’s the secret?”

“!?”

“I’m not asking because I’m jealous. I’m just asking because I think it might help my acting.”

What does this have to do with acting?

A question like that occurred to her mind, but her mouth, flustered, did not open easily as if it had been covered in glue.

Meanwhile, Joo Seo-yeon’s gaze, which had been muttering nonsense, was also turned towards Jeong-hyeon.

“Now that I think about it, I’ve been really curious about that for a while now.”

Joo Seo-yeon, who suddenly got up, also started to slowly approach Jeong-hyeon.

‘Cow, why your hand?’

As Joo Seo-yeon approached him, her hand pointing forward, Jeong-hyeon suddenly remembered Ilmok’s advice.

The advice to never be alone with Joo Seo-yeon.

Meanwhile, Ha-young was also approaching Jeong-hyeon to satisfy her curiosity.

“There are only women here, so speak freely.”

A net of three women approaching from three directions.

If it were normal, Jeong-Hyeon would have frothed at the mouth and fainted because of people who suddenly approached him.

For some reason, I didn’t faint just now.

My instincts were ringing an alarm bell. An alarm bell that said if I passed out now, there was no telling what would happen.

I feel like I want to have a seizure and faint at any moment.

“Eek!”

Jeong-Hyeon let out a strange scream, endured the seizure with extreme patience, and performed lightness techniques.

Pot!

It was the most perfect lightness in her life.

* * *

“Hmm.”

As she enjoys a leisurely afternoon alone and savors the scent of her teacup, a snort escapes from Instructor Eun-ryeo’s mouth.

For her, who always pretended to have a cold expression due to the side effect of rejection disorder, this kind of alone time was truly enjoyable.

But Eun-ryeo’s face, which had once had a faint smile on it, had now become as cold as ice.

It was because her senses picked up the signs of someone approaching stealthily.

She had no intention of showing her relaxed face to others, so she sighed faintly and opened her mouth.

“Come in.”

Instructor Eun-ryeo could tell who was approaching just by the sound of them approaching secretly.

And as soon as her permission was given, the door opened and the person that Instructor Eun-ryeo had expected, Jeong-hyeon, entered the room.

Eun-ryeo ordered Jeong-hyeon to open the door while staying in her seat because Jeong-hyeon might have a seizure if they met at the entrance.

Aside from putting on a cold expression, there was no way to help the pitiful person.

Eun-ryeo, who was sitting at the table, keeping her distance from Jeong-hyeon out of consideration, turned her head and almost flinched without realizing it.

It was because Jeong-Hyeon’s face had turned pale.

“… Is there a problem?”

Jeong-hyeon answered Eun-ryeo’s question, barely maintaining his composure, while trembling.

“Sorry, sorry, I’m sorry, Instructor. Now, can you, can you hide me for a moment…?”

Eun-ryeo felt her heart sink at the sight of her pitiful appearance, shivering and begging with a pale face, like a cat that had been drenched in rain.

“Feel free to use it as you wish.”

For her, who suffered from rejection disorder, it was a request she could not dare refuse.

“Now, sit here.”

Eun-ryeo willingly got up and gave up her seat so that Jeong-hyeon could sit where she had been sitting.

“You must have been really surprised and feel cold, so let’s warm up with some tea.”

Eun-ryeo’s speech had become softer without her even realizing it.

Jeong-hyeon, who had been looking somewhat uneasy, followed Eun-ryeo’s instructions. And when Jeong-hyeon started drinking tea and seemed to have calmed down a bit, Eun-ryeo asked belatedly.

“Is someone chasing you?”

Asking to be hidden would mean that there is a pursuer. But what reason would there be for a guard to be chased in the Magic Hall?

At Instructor Eun-ryeo’s question, Jeong-hyeon flinched and was surprised.

‘Well, it’s too embarrassing to say that… .’

Jeong-hyeon couldn’t bring herself to say that she was being chased because of a certain part of her body.

“I, I’m just… . I’m, I’m being chased. Instructor.”

“To whom?”

Unlike when he usually met with officials, Jeong-hyeon answered Eun-ryeo’s question in a hushed tone.

“Ba, Bang Mi-hwa’s officer, Ha, Ha-young’s officer, and Joo, Joo Seo-yeon’s officer are chasing me. Instructor.”

“Could you please tell me why you are being chased?”

Eun-ryeo asked softly again, but Jeong-hyeon just shook his head quickly in embarrassment.

Eun-ryeo had no choice but to start deducing things because of Jeong-hyeon’s attitude of never revealing the reason.

‘Jeong-hyeon. Bang Mi-hwa. Ha-young. Joo Seo-yeon. Somehow, these names sound familiar… .’

If you look at these four women separately, they are unrelated, but strangely enough, they are all connected by a certain name.

‘It’s because of the Ichimoku Kannon!’

The moment that name came to mind, a story naturally came to mind in Instructor Eun-ryeo’s mind.

‘I thought he would be a sinful man, but he has really created a mess!’
