“Kang Do-hee! Look carefully at your feet!!”
“Lee Yuri, focus! “Aggro will solve everything!”
“Sophia, it’s too fast!! “I told you not to waste your heels!!!”
“Autumn senior...!! Please!”
Velvet Academy’s hologram training center.
Sharp voices filled the space one after another.
Heo Eok─
Heo Eok─
All party members sat down in their seats covered in sweat due to the intense training.
And I couldn’t hide my stern expression as I looked at them.
‘Why is everyone like this?’
Of course, I understand.
Since my strength suddenly increased by 4%, I understand that it takes time to get used to it.
Since Ichika, a special position, has been added, it will be awkward to form a formation differently than before.
Yes, I know that kind of thing.
Nevertheless.
‘Really, why is everyone doing this?’
What I was most disappointed in was concentration.
Training in forming new formations and combining them.
No matter how much I tried to concentrate, it was a chaotic atmosphere as if my mind was preoccupied throughout the training.
I wondered if Ichika might be the problem, so I tried training without Ichika, but it was the same.
As if he had completely forgotten everything he had put together, Kang Do-hee runs out on his own and suffers a fatal injury while playing solo.
Sophia misses the healing timing that she was always taught, and even her high accuracy is shaken, restoring the enemy monster’s health.
I don’t even know how many magic stones Lim Ga-eul has already lost while overusing her skills.
And even the trusty soup.
‘······No, I went to Jukai Forest. The kids have become weaker.’
It was even more frustrating because I didn’t know why they were doing this.
“Ha, really, why are you like this? “I need to tell you something.”
Even though I asked the same question several times already, they remained silent.
If I had given a clear answer, I would have figured out the cause and fixed it, but as I kept silent, the frustration only piled up.
“Ha-. Why are you really doing this...”
It was time to order the party members to take a break and take a deep breath while touching their foreheads.
Cock.
Cock.
‘Hmm?’
As I looked, I felt someone stab me with a finger from behind.
There was a blue head with an expressionless face.
Ichika.
When I saw her, my stiff face softened a little.
Even though she just came in and is having an adjustment period.
Because he was showing his most normal self
Of course, the field of view was still not wide, so the timing and location of the shadows were off, but it was something that could be taken into account.
“Ah, Mr. Ichika. Sorry. We’re not really like this... And this isn’t because of Ichika, so please don’t worry too much.”
Honestly, I was embarrassed to see her.
She proceeded with recruiting by talking about how great Utopia was,
I can’t believe that what he actually showed was such a miserable piece of shit.
A situation where even ten mouths have nothing to say.
“It’s okay.”
Ichika nodded her head with an attitude that she didn’t have to worry about me.
“Do you need help now?”
“Yes? Help? Mr. Ichika, if you just keep doing this now...”
“No, someone else.”
“Someone else?”
“That’s why I called you. “Friend.”
“Friend...?”
I tilted my head as I listened to her.
‘These people are all good... There is a little sense of distance from communication...’
Ichika is still talking close to me.
‘Anyway, friend? Is Ichika’s friend here?’
It was then.
Beep ─
[ Utopia Party member, Cadet Shin Se-hee. Entry is permitted. ]
An artificial woman’s voice is heard in the air.
Wow─
The protective shield cleared and a person walked into the training ground.
It was Shin Se-hee.
I opened my eyes wide at the sudden appearance of Shin Se-hee.
‘What? ‘Didn’t you say you were busy with Ichika’s admission today?’
*
Shin Se-hee, who received a call from Ichika, walked in with her arms crossed and the heels of her shoes clicking.
Food─
Shin Se-hee looks at the party members and smiles.
‘It’s a mess. Just by looking at it now, I can roughly understand what happened.’
Just by taking a quick look at the atmosphere inside the training ground and the state of the party members, I was able to determine that today’s training did not proceed properly.
In addition, even the cause.
‘Everyone, it looks like you can’t come to your senses because of Jin Yu-ha’s likeability issue, right?’
I understand.
If he hadn’t heard about other people’s likeability from Ichika, he probably would have been distracted and couldn’t concentrate on his work like them.
‘Actually, the way to solve this is very simple.’
Just exposing everything.
Anyway, everyone except Ichika is 4%.
If that fact were known, the idle thoughts of those who were worried about who was higher would disappear at that moment.
‘However, this is the first joker card I have held in a while, so it would be a waste to use it here.’
Isn’t there a way to kill three birds with one stone by appealing to Jin Yu-ha’s competence without harming one’s own hand, and even resolving the utopian situation?
Shin Se-hee’s head turned quickly as she looked at the party members.
‘Well, come to think of it, he was wearing a ring too, right?’
Then, a person’s face flashes through her mind.
The day before, it was Baek Seol-hee who suddenly came between Jin Yu-ha and herself.
And Shin Se-hee did not miss the ring on her hand.
We still don’t know Baek Seol-hee’s likeability.
And investigating her carelessly is dangerous on a different level than that of her other party members.
‘If I use that person, maybe this could work out well?’
“Hey, Jin Yu-ha.”
Shin Se-hee first called Jin Yu-ha.
“Uh, Shin Se-hee. What happened? “I heard you’re busy today.”
“Oh, my friend asked for help.”
“······Friend?”

At the same time, Jin Yu-ha followed Shin Se-hee’s gaze and looked behind her.
There was Ichika with an expressionless face, making the letter V with her fingers.
“When on earth did you two...”
“Jin Yu-ha, what did you talk about with the instructor yesterday? “I think there might be a way to solve the current situation.”
Shin Se-hee cut Jin Yu-ha off and went straight to the main topic.
“Oh, that is...”
And Jin Yu-ha told Shin Se-hee about what happened the previous day.
She also received the effect of her ring.
It is even said that because of that, she earned her hatred.
However, Shin Se-hee, listening to the story, had a strange smile on her lips.
‘Hmm, I don’t think that’s why the instructor was angry...’
Shin Se-hee, who is quick-witted, accurately understood Baek Seol-hee’s current situation.
* * *
“······No, leader, it’s an expensive item that a boy would like. How do we know that?”
“That’s right! “They exploited us without even giving us time to go shopping!”
“I haven’t even been able to go on a date with a nice guy since I joined the Demon Pretenders!”
“So, did you try it before you came in?”
“······Shut up.”
The night before, Baek Seol-hee left excitedly, saying that she would make an example of Jin Yu-ha with her money.
Lina knows best when it comes to expensive gifts, but she wouldn’t be able to ask about that.
In the end, the only people she could ask about were the members of the Demon Killing Squad.
However, because they were extermination unit members who had almost no private life due to their constant work with demons.
They also don’t know anything about men.
‘Tsk, there’s no one who can help...’
Weeeing─
While I was clicking my tongue, the sound of vibration.
Baek Seol-hee took out her phone from her pocket.
‘Hmm? This guy... Shin Se-hee?’
Although the relationship was between an instructor and a cadet, a message came from someone who had no particular contact with each other.
Baek Seol-hee tilted her head and turned on her phone.
From noble mtl dot com
【Flower ✿】 ─ Instructor, would it be okay to contact you for a moment?
【Baek Seol-hee】 ─ What’s going on?
【Flower ✿】 ─ I want to propose a deal.
Baek Seol-hee frowned at the text message from Shin Se-hee.
‘Deal...?’
As I clearly remember, this guy is quite a twisted guy.
Since it was n’t directed at her student, she left it alone, but she wasn’t the type she particularly liked.
It was extremely suspicious that a guy like that would suddenly suggest a deal to me.
【Baek Seol-hee】 ─ Deal?
【Flower ✿】 ─ Yes, I think you won’t like me saying it back, so I’ll tell you right away. What I will give you is a way to increase Jin Yu-ha’s likeability.
‘What...!?’
Baek Seol-hee’s eyes widened.
【Blossom ✿】 ─ And what I will receive in return is what percent of the instructor’s abilities have increased. How do you feel?
【Baek Seol-hee】 ─ Then, please tell me how much your ability has improved.
【Flower ✿】 ─ That’s not negotiable. I suggested a way to increase likability, but you need to use a little more, right?
【Baek Seol-hee】 ─ I know the increase in Chairman Lina’s abilities.
【Flower ✿】 ─ ······The transaction is concluded.
* * *
Shin Se-hee was doing something on her phone by herself for a while.
She suddenly laughed darkly.
“······Ha, indeed. Chairman Lina. You should do a good job managing the academy. Well, did you use some sort of charm magic? 7%? What on earth did they do behind the scenes to come up with such absurd figures? Is it because they are national heroes that we even admire them? Or else—”
“······Shin Se-hee?”
I suddenly called out to her, who was muttering to herself.
Then Shin Se-hee suddenly turns her face and straightens her expression.
“Ah yes? “Did you call me?”
“Well, didn’t you say there was a way?”
“Oh, I contacted you briefly because of that. In conclusion, it is hellish training.”
“······Hell training?”
I tilted my head.
“Yes, hell training led by instructor Baek Seol-hee.”
“······!”
I was really surprised.
Shin Se-hee requested hell training from her teacher.
And that Master accepted it again.
‘No matter how many times I asked him to look after the other kids, he was the teacher who never said he wanted to... ?’
“Yes, Jin Yu-ha. Anyway, instructor Baek Seol-hee told you to be prepared for the next class, right?”
“······Uh, yes.”
“Our Utopia will receive this together.”
“Uh. Hey, is it okay? Instructor, training is really no joke... If a person like that told me to be prepared...”
I asked back in a worried voice.
Then Shin Se-hee shook her head resolutely.
“To correct my now slackened state of mind, there is nothing that will wake me up like his training, right?”
“Oh, that’s right.”
“And every time Jin Yu-ha trains us, we learn all the manuals from him.”
“······That’s right.”
“That way, it will be more certain that you learn from yourself. And...”
Shin Se-hee suddenly lowered her voice and spoke.
“Wouldn’t it be more beneficial for Jin Yu-ha to go through that hellish training together rather than go through it alone?”
My eyes opened brightly.
Even so, the day before, I heard the teacher say that I would see him in the next class,
I had trouble sleeping at night because I was worried about what kind of training was waiting for me this time.
But does the Utopia Party receive that together?
‘Yes······. With the instructor’s training, you can definitely straighten out your slackened spirit. Because if I don’t come to my senses, I’ll die. Since we all receive it together, we can support each other, and the training doesn’t have to be focused on me!?’
The more I thought about it, the more it was a plan that really killed two birds with one stone, or rather killed three birds with one stone.
I never, ever had the slightest thought that I really didn’t want to die alone.
Hot!
I held Shin Se-hee’s arm and said.
“······Shin Se-hee! “You are truly the best!!!”
Hehe─”
Shin Se-hee smiled lightly, as if embarrassed.
She glanced at Ichika behind her and spoke with her eyes.
‘This is how politics works. Mr. Ichika.’
Ichika nodded her head and raised her thumb.
“Surely. Glad we’re on the same side. Good.”
