Episode 20. Private instruction (2)
5.
“Keoeook.”
To be honest, I thought I could bear the physical pain.
But, even though it hurt, it hurt so much.
“I heard you have good eyes? “Why can’t I avoid it?”
Pow! Pow!
I wondered if this wasn’t school violence and if it was okay for a teacher to beat up a student like this.
“Stand, teacher.”
“why?”
“S-stop… … .”
“If you want to stop, avoid it!”
I could see it, I could see it.
But my body doesn’t move.
Now that I think about it, it was strange.
Obviously, it would be the same tutoring time. Why was I the only one in Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s training room?
I received one-on-one guidance, but the first day was usually crowded with students who wanted to apply for personal guidance.
But now I was the only one here.
“Gagging!”
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s back kick went right into my stomach, and I had no choice but to cough and try to catch my breath.
“Hmm, it’s amazing that you can still stand up.”
With blurred eyes, I looked at the translucent system message floating in the air.
[I was physically shocked by an awakened person. Talent ‘transfer’ is activated. Receive the awakened talent. Add the talent ‘Baktu’ to the slot.]
When I saw that system, I smiled involuntarily.
Because I got what I wanted to get.
“Smile? You still have a lot of strength! good night!”
“Oh, no!”
I screamed like that, but I couldn’t stop Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk from beating me.
***
“f*ck it.”
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk hit me so hard that I almost used ‘Baktu’. However, it was obvious that if I did that, I would be suspected, so I showed great patience and withstood Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s beatings.
“Hehe, I guess you don’t have to worry about this.”
Rubbing the bruised area with my hand, I entered the classroom.
As I was so excited, it was already evening.
When I returned to the classroom to pick up the school uniform I had left in the classroom, I saw Jeong Ju-won and Yoo Ah-ram cleaning up after themselves.
“uh? Roommate?!”
The day Jeong Joo-won opened the classroom door, I saw him and shouted.
It must be because of the large bruise on his arm.
“what? “Who hit you?”
Yoo Ah-ram, who heard Jeong Joo-won’s shout, rushed over and tapped my arm.
“Ahh. what are you doing?”
“Oh, I thought it was a real bruise.”
“Well, it’s a real bruise. “Are you afraid it might be fake?”
Hehehe, looking at Yoo Ah-ram smiling, I wonder if he is the same kid who trembled in front of a monster.
“What happened?”
“Personal guidance.”
“Could it be that you are the teacher who made this?”
“uh.”
Jeong Ju-won tilted his head in disbelief at my answer.
“Which teacher did you choose?”
“Homeroom teacher.”
“what?!”
Jeong Joo-won was surprised by my words and said, ‘Oh, then you can do that…’ … .’ I muttered.
“why?”
“What? What?”
Yoo Ah-ram must have been curious as well and asked Jeong Ju-won with sparkling eyes.
“According to my information, homeroom teacher. “As far as I know, there isn’t a single student who has been given personal guidance.”
“why?”
“Most students changed teachers because they couldn’t withstand their homeroom teacher’s guidance.”
I made an expression that I sympathized with what he said.
I definitely felt like if I was beaten like this every time, I would want to change my country.
“Are you going to be okay?”
“Well, I already made my choice, so there’s nothing I can do about it. And there are things to learn.”
“Still, be careful.”
“Uh, thank you for the information.”
“Let’s go have dinner. “You’ll get better after dinner.”
After hearing Yoo Ah-ram’s words, we all left the classroom together.
6.
“Which teacher did you choose?”
“I am Teacher Jang Yeon-soo, a second-year student. “I heard he was a commander, and he’s an awakened person specializing in operating.”
Jeong Joo-won’s personal instructor originally knew.
This is because it was from this time that Jeong Joo-won’s operating skills rapidly improved.
“What about Aram?”
“me? A dismal teacher in third grade. The name… Did you say it was teacher Cho Jin-hyuk? “I did.”
Teacher Cho Jin-hyuk knew. She remembered it clearly because she was the teacher who awakened her martial arts talent.
What was the name of the awakened talent?
“Is it Kyeongshin Corporation? First, I decided to learn how to walk. “It was difficult.”
His talent for speed was incredible, so there was a reason why he was so fast that Yoo Ah-ram couldn’t be seen in the second round.
“Learn well.”
Yoo Ah-ram nodded and smiled at what I said.
“Hehe.”
Yoo Ah-ram, who has a small body, smiled brightly and was cute.
Hmm, hmm. It’s just that.
[Intimacy with Yoo Ah-ram has increased by 5.]
I was able to see that the intimacy level had increased through the guidance of system messages.
This is how you become friends. While thinking this, I looked at Yoo Ah-ram.
Yoo Ah-ram.
A ruler with the talent for speed and a fisherman who catches enemies.
I wondered if I had gotten over the monster trauma from last time.
“Aram, are you still like that?”
Yoo Ah-ram must have understood what I meant, but his expression suddenly became unsatisfactory.
“Roommate, you again… … .”
“Joowon, it’s okay.”
“Yoo Ah-ram?”
“I was curious too. “I wonder if I got rid of the monster trauma after what happened last time.”
Yoo Ah-ram looked straight at me and said.
“By any chance, do you have time to eat?”
***
The dinner menu was stir-fried pork.
Perhaps because of the chef’s skill, we were able to fill our bellies with delicious stir-fried pork.
“Whoa, I’m full.”
Jeong Ju-won arrived at my training room and sat down on one of the chairs in the training room.
“Let’s move once the digestion is over.”
“good.”
Jeong Ju-won leaned back and showed that he was full. Seeing Jeong Ju-won, Yoo Ah-ram, smiling brightly, said to me as if it was a good thing.
“That’s right, there’s something I’ve been curious about for a while, can I ask you?”
“huh? What?”
“What would you have done if I hadn’t run away?”
I made a shocked expression at those words.
It seemed like he was referring to the time when Yuaram was placed in front of Fenrir.
If Yoo Ah-ram hadn’t dodged, how would I have moved?
“You guessed it right instead?”
“huh?”
“If you couldn’t dodge until the end, I’ll pull you back like this.”
I would have stepped forward.
“I said, pulling Yoo Ah-ram towards me and switching places with him.
Perhaps because of his small stature, he was easily dragged around.
At the time, Hwang Da-bin had applied a buff, and if I had used the one-point buff on my legs, I would have been able to achieve almost fast speed.
“I see… … .”
Maybe it was because I suddenly pulled him in, Yoo Ah-ram muttered to himself and then said while looking straight at me.
“Just to say thank you. “Thanks to you, I think I’ve gotten a lot better.”
“ah? okay?”
If so, that was fortunate.
“Hehe. “Well then, since I feel like I’ve digested it a bit, shall we get started?”
I nodded at Yoo Ah-ram’s words and called Jeong Ju-won.
Jeong Ju-won must have been listening to our conversation, and he was also getting up from his chair.
“If you’re scared, tell me right away.”
I said this while handing out goggles to Yoo Ah-ram and Jeong Ju-won.
“huh.”
I also put on my goggles and muttered.
“Oc, summon.”
Then an orc appeared in the training room.
7.
I watched Yoo Ah-ram.
This is because I was curious about how Yoo Ah-ram would deal with the three orcs that appeared in front of us.
The reason I summoned three orcs was because I wanted to use what I learned today.
‘Right now, I don’t have Hwang Da-bin who can buff me, or Selina who can put me in flames.’
So now all I have left is good eyes and a good body.
I wanted to compete with monsters without using ‘Yonginhwa’ and ‘Baktu’ that are in the slot.
Of course, the first thing to do was to see if Yoo Ah-ram had overcome the trauma.
-Chwiik!!
The orcs found us and rushed at us first.
The great thing about the virtual reality system is that it creates a fake that looks really real, so we were able to deal with virtual but realistic monsters.
Yoo Ah-ram, who saw the orc rushing towards him, hesitated for a moment and then disappeared like the wind.
“Yoo Ah-ram?”
The problem was that he disappeared, leaving only Jeong Ju-won and I behind.
“Sorry! I think the tremors are gone now… … . “I’ve never fought a monster before!”
As I heard Yoo Ah-ram shouting like that, I clenched my fists.
When it seemed like I was planning to fight, Jeong Joo-won floated a hologram in the air and got behind me.
“Three orcs, analysis begins. Probability of roommate winning. 99.9%.”
“Jeong Joo-won?”
“It looks like you are planning to fight, so I will support you. “Move as I tell you to move.”
I smiled at those words.
This guy won’t know.
Today is the third time we have worked together like this.
“The Orc rushes from the center first. Just hit that guy first. “Because the center of gravity is at the bottom, you can just knock it over.”
I started moving according to Jeong Joo-won’s operating instructions.
I didn’t just get hit by teacher Kang Joo-hyuk.
‘Brightly seeing eyes’ clearly showed how the opponent would move, and I engraved the movements in my mind as I was hit.
I ran towards the orc in the center, leaned down, and kicked the orc’s leg hard.
Pow!
-Chwiik!
The orc fell down while screaming, and the orcs on both sides rushed towards me.
“Yoo Ah-ram! “Aren’t you going to help me?!”
While shouting like that, I waited for Jeong Ju-won to operate.
“Turn to the left and kick the club held by the orc on the left.”
I clearly saw how the orcs would move with my fantastic eyes, so I dodged the club he swung as fast as I could, and at the same time, I kicked the club with my foot as instructed by Jeong Ju-won.
The club flew into the sky from the orc’s hand.
The empty-handed orc looked like he didn’t know what had happened.
Jeong Ju-won shouted when he saw that guy.
“Aim for his weakness!”
With those words, I kicked the guy’s weaknesses that I could see.
Pow!
With the sound of something exploding, the new Orc model that had rushed in from the left collapsed.
“good job! Catch the falling stick. And throw it.”
I jumped up, grabbed the club the orc was using, and threw it at the orc charging at me from the right.
-Chwiiik!!
The orc, whose head was hit directly by the club I threw, ran straight ahead and swung the club at me despite being hit in the face.
The moment I almost got hit, the wind blew.
“How dare you Siwoo!”
Yoo Ah-ram came running in an instant and touched the orc with a tap.
It didn’t seem like he could hit the orc yet.
However, it was a huge improvement compared to before when I would tremble in front of monsters.
-Chwiik?
I laughed to myself when I saw the orc who was aggroed by Yoo Ah-ram’s touch.
This was because Yoo Ah-ram was already showing off his ‘fisherman’ nature.
“Now, get it over with!”
With Jeong Joo-won’s shout, I kicked the ground with all my strength and punched the orc’s head.
The most basic form of box fighting learned today, boxing. It was a regime.
Bah!
-Chwiik!
Since I couldn’t attack with the same speed as when wearing the buff, I stuck my fist exactly where I had been hit by the club.
Then the last remaining orc began to scream and disappear.
Because the system was set up to end when the monster was shocked enough to hurt even if it wasn’t killed, the virtual reality ended when the monster felt pain.
“good job. Dealing with three orcs by myself. “Isn’t it amazing?”
When I took off my goggles, Joowon Jeong came up and gave me a thumbs up.
“I can’t do it alone, thanks to your operating. By the way, Yu, Ah, Ram!”
I called Yoo Ah-ram, who was literally on the run.
“Hi!”
Yoo Ah-ram saw my expression with both eyes raised and smiled his signature smile.
“Hehe. sorry. I guess fighting monsters is still out of the question. I’m confident I can move quickly, but… … .”
At those words, I suddenly thought of a good idea.
I came up with a way that Yoo Ah-ram and I could both win-win.
“Okay, then let’s do it this way. You teach me how to run fast, and I’ll teach you how to fight monsters without being afraid. “This is a win-win, right?”
Let Yoo Ah-ram grow, and I grow too. Win-win. Isn’t this all together, cha cha cha?
Yoo Ah-ram’s eyes seemed to sparkle as he looked at me at my words.
“good! Let’s win-win!”
Jeong Ju-won intervened in Yoo Ah-ram’s answer.
“I’ll help you too.”
“Okay, then from now on, after class, we will all train together in the training room.”
“okay.”
“huh!”
However, when I moved violently, I felt like my whole body was screaming again.
‘It’s a win-win, and I’ll have to train myself better first.’
I felt like I had to work harder to avoid being left out during the midterm exam.
