Chapter 183: Chapter 183

Here they come. The main players in this Joint Academy establishment.

Seeing Suhyeon and Irina, I presented what those two would say first.

Why are you both pretending not to know? You both want something, that's why you're doing this.

And what that something is, I already roughly expect.

Until recently, both Suhyeon and Irina kept mentioning it whenever I forgot.

They say sexual desire is equally vigorous for men and women - seems true.

Rather, I'm slightly grateful. I'm also a bit embarrassed to suggest doing it first.

"When do you want to do it?"

Since both would have the same request anyway, I omitted the subject.

I thought both women would catch on and immediately speak.

But what actually returned were two pairs of eyes blinking as if not understanding.

...What. Why are all the reactions ? I'm not the only one making a fool of myself, right?

"Um, Examiner. I'm not talking about 'that' but wanting future sparring to be done more roughly."

Damn shit. I was right. I was the only one making a fool of myself.

Still holding onto one thread of hope, I turned to Irina.

Wasn't she the one who requested more than Suhyeon! Right, if it's Irina...

"What. I'm not either? I want to try being academy temporary instructor once."

Impossible. Even you betrayed me, Irina. And does this make sense?

Weren't you two the ones asking when we'll do that again until recently?

I was seriously considering a second round, but what am I supposed to do now!?

"Ugh. Oppa imagined something alone? You became a complete beast after doing it once!"

Beast?! Unfair! You two were the ones who jumped on me both times!

I got used to it, but suddenly if you two coordinate and do this, it's cheating!

"Well, if our Seojin oppa really wants it, I could change..."

Saying that, Irina pokes her chest area with her finger.

Oh ho. You can't say it yourself, but if I request first, you'll listen?

Fine. I won't do it either. Other people aside, I absolutely won't be dragged by you.

"I understand Suhyeon. But Irina, you. Are you serious?"

"Yes. I'm serious. Why? Is there a problem with instructor position?"

Of course there's a problem. Not just one but several.

There's really a lot of work S-ranks must do.

Not just Korea. The whole world is like that.

Especially after Great Upheaval, work increased thanks to A-rank support.

Meanwhile, Irina still has more holidays than any other S-rank.

So much that the Association President went to Irina's parents again asking for persuasion.

When that didn't work, he even came to me asking to work together.

Strong self-centered tendencies are also problems, but personality that hates work too.

Such Irina suddenly requests academy temporary instructor position?

I'm worried she'll just say she'll do it then disappear when it's time to actually do it.

"Knowing that obviously, you want me to recommend you to the Dean?"

"Ah! Keep your worries in check. I'll really work hard this time."

"How can I trust that?"

"I'll promise on Mom's name. Okay?!"

Why does your mother keep getting her name dragged into this for what crime?

Still, the fortunate point is she's never broken promises made on parents' names.

"...Okay. Then I'll trust you and speak to the Dean. And—"

Suhyeon wants sparring done more roughly than now.

Honestly, it's not a difficult request. Like reviewing actual combat I've experienced,

If I change the sparring atmosphere with Suhyeon that way, it should be sufficiently possible.

However, that way Suhyeon could also be very dangerous.

The actual combat I fought was with S-rank monsters or Elder-like monsters.

If I move my body thinking of battles with them, big trouble could happen.

Like Kwak Hyuk's spear or the shadow manipulation Hyun Sujin showed,

I'm not confident current Suhyeon can endure those things.

Though injury can ultimately be healed if she doesn't die in current reality,

It's quite uncomfortable to hurt a woman who'll only get closer from now on.

What about Irina? She's not the class to get hurt by me, so pass.

"Will you be okay, Suhyeon? It absolutely won't be as easy as you think..."

"It won't be easy, right? I know. Of course I know. The Examiner is also S-rank. The same S-rank as Irina here."

"Ahem. Sorry to say this, but I'm stronger than oppa—"

"Would I make such a request hoping you'd go easy on me again?"

Very smoothly ignoring Irina's words and saying her own.

Thanks to that, Irina gets annoyed, but it's not important so pass again.

"Got it. Then tomorrow's sparring, after academy ends, let's do it in a completely different place."

"Eh? Don't tell me you're planning to slip away somewhere else?"

"Please don't think based on your own standards, Irina."

That's right, Suhyeon. I have no intention of slipping away like you.

"Anyway... thank you both. Never thought you'd step forward ."

"What are you saying? Oppa is amazing, but me and this girl are also formidable people, you know? This level of work, we can do anything if we set our minds to it. Ah. To be precise, Kim Suhyeon used old man Kang's connections, so should I say she didn't do anything herself?"

Irina. You'll get counterattacked by Suhyeon again doing that.

Don't come whining to me asking me to scold her after getting annoyed alone.

"You're right. I admit that too."

But Suhyeon was calm rather than angry.

Thanks to that, only Irina, who tried to provoke, makes a 'huh?' expression isn't it!

"That's why I want to get stronger quickly. Not with grandfather's power, but purely with my own hands to help the Examiner. I'm very earnest right now."

"The Chairman would be proud to hear that."

He might be sad about saying his help isn't needed anymore.

But if it's Kang Minseong, the one I know, he'll ultimately applaud Suhyeon's determination.

Saying this is befitting his granddaughter. Befitting a heroine who received Kang family blood.

"Irina, I'll speak to the Dean first, but don't expect much."

"I said I'll work hard! The old man will know too. If he hears I even mentioned my parents."

"That's not it - if you do instructor work too, it takes more time. You already have work, but if you do that too, the association will probably object."

Of course they'll object. They're stealing their excellent worker's time.

This might go wrong and I'll have to persuade the Association President after Ma Hakjun.

Should I just tell Irina to go cause a ruckus at the association? I thought about it,

But before long, I shook my head and decided against it.

'I should take care of Irina's image.'

Irina's request - academy temporary instructor position.

I immediately went to Ma Hakjun to discuss that matter.

Of course, the response was naturally rejection—

Not rejection? What. This is unexpected.

"Looking at your expression, my answer seems unexpected."

"...Honestly speaking, yes."

"Irina's skills are certain, aren't they? Her personality is the problem."

Someone who knows well suddenly giving permission sounds stranger.

Quietly staring at Ma Hakjun, he smiled and continued.

"Originally I would have refused too. But regarding this Joint Academy establishment, other countries' S-ranks made a request."

"In some way, they want Irina to appear at that Joint Academy and teach her skills to their country's juniors, even a little, and train them."

"...Should I interpret this as wanting her to accept them as disciples?"

At my question, Ma Hakjun nodded saying exactly that.

"As you know, that Irina girl's skills are certain despite her personality. So there were many requests asking for some teaching of juniors, but she refused all saying it's bothersome. Just how much magical power, how strongly she throws punches, and how fast she swings swords."

"In short, they want to gain something from this opportunity."

I understood up to here. But what does that have to do with allowing instructor role... ah.

"You intend to rehearse here."

"Right. Kill her personality somewhat and see if she actually has skill teaching kids."

Both have realization possibilities almost converging to zero.

Killing personality and Irina having talent for teaching kids?

If beating kids to make them listen is also talent, then maybe it's talent. Google seaʀᴄh Nov3lFɪre.ɴet

"But there's a condition to convey."

Ma Hakjun's condition conveyed to Irina through me was this:

Continue current S-rank duties while also doing instructor work.

Don't ask the association to reduce work just because you're doing instructor work.

"If she keeps just that, I'll allow instructor work. Plus I can cover for some troublemaking."

The words sound easy, but I'm worried if Irina, who hates work, will listen.

Association work is already quite a lot, but if instructor work overlaps, there won't be rest days.

"Go tell her exactly that. If she keeps just that, I'll immediately hire her as instructor."

"I'll convey it, but she'll definitely grumble."

"Then don't do it. The choice is hers, so no problem."

I'm really curious about this girl's reaction.

"Okay. Call. Give me the instructor position."

What. She agrees this easily? Did our Irina eat something wrong?

You're about to fall into work hell with no rest days!

Irina who immediately went to the dean's office requesting instructor position after hearing my words.

Ma Hakjun, who glanced at such Irina, now turns his gaze to me.

Then soon smiling slightly, what he says is—

"The power of love is truly great."
