Parallel World Academy - Parallel World Academy chapter 163
Episode 163 Do I appear in the article? (3)
* * *
[There has never been such a glamorous debut! Park Seong-jin, who showed the ease of those who are ready!]
[Who is the biggest fish in the transfer market next year? A new hero with a proud name!]
[“It was an excellent tactic, but there were many flaws… ” Expressing concern about whether ‘Esmeralda’ will work in real life.]
[The ransom of prospects who have started soaring… There is a risk of overheating competition for recruitment.]
Oh my God, what is all this?
I heard that there were a lot of articles about me, but how many stories were coming out like this?
Besides, most of the articles were just compliments on me, so I was a little embarrassed.
I wondered if there were any articles written objectively, so while I was looking for more articles, an interesting title caught my eye.
[‘Charles’] “Park Seong-jin’s division, there are still many walls to overcome… If you can’t prove it, that’s the end of it.”
‘Charle? I’m sure it’s a name I’ve heard somewhere. Who was it? Ah, Chloe’s disciple and the president of the Ocelot Academy.’
It seems that the position is the position, so he did not care about external pressure and said what he wanted to say.
Although Blake is a great person, it would be unreasonable to surpass Charles’ stronghold.
The tone is a bit harsh, but that’s because Ocelot Academy is a competitor to Trinity Academy.
If this was the case, it would have been written from a relatively objective point of view, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to check it out.
I clicked on the article with a little bit of anticipation.
[Geniuses don’t jump on stage recklessly.]
Charles Fontaine, the president of the Academy of Ocelot, took a cautious approach. His position is that the focus on promising youngsters, which has recently become a hot topic, is excessive.
Charles said that it is true that those classified as ‘the so-called ‘Park Seong-jin Division’ showed fresh and shocking tactics in their debut, but it is not as surprising as public reviews or fans’ expectations.
“Geniuses don’t jump on stage recklessly. However, he daringly jumped in and succeeded in surprising everyone. This means that the hero desired by people and times has changed. Obviously, his strategy is dangerous, and even though it was a strategy that could even cause damage to civilians, everyone is passionate about Park Sung-jin. If that’s the reality of looking at the hero, it’s a reality,” said Charles Fontaine, expressing concern.
As it was a drastic strategy, the responsibility that would follow if it failed is very painful. Even monkeys do fall from trees, and it’s a risky idea to expect him to always come up with bizarre strategies.
However, unlike heroes who are only faithful to their purpose, the joy and daring and creative determination that they can provide can be of great help in solidifying their position and recognition among numerous heroes.
“It is great enough to instill a sense of tension and alertness in the heroes of today’s relaxed era. However, there are still many walls he has to overcome. It is difficult to say that he has proven his qualities as a hero. For now, it is enough not to lose sight of them,” said Charles Fontaine.
What Charles Fontaine wants to say is that it is too early to say that he has brought the winds of change. However, this should not be forgotten either. The fact that ‘Park Seong-jin’s division’ is just beginning to take its first steps among prominent heroes.
… This was also a friendly article in the end.
Well, from the memories I met, Charles had an opinion that was opposed to Chloe, but he wasn’t so petty that he tried to break the spirit of a rookie who had just debuted.
Still, it seems that he thinks that the move itself is still to be seen, perhaps because of his conservative tendencies.
‘Is this enough of a successful start?’
Another knight, I didn’t know that Charles would give such a generous evaluation, even with the exception of Blake’s breath.
It’s not in vain, but maybe I can really put some strength on my shoulders and go.
I wonder what other people think.
It’s the weekend anyway, so everyone will be free, so I’d like to meet Aina once in a while to ask a question.
“hello. Aina?”
Yeah, what’s going on?
“Would you like to meet for a moment? Choose a place you are comfortable with.”
Ok, fine. Let’s meet at West Gate Square. only after an hour
“Okay. See you later.”
What is Aina going to say?
I’m not very fond of receiving attention, so I don’t think it would be a good thing.
* * *
The West Gate Square was unbelievably quiet for a street that was always crowded.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Maybe it was because the midterm exam was just around the corner.
‘It seems like it’s been a long time since I’ve been here. His appearance has also changed a lot.’
It wasn’t just a simple feeling that made this place I’ve been to come to feel new.
Of course, it may be because the scenery of the empty West Gate Square felt unfamiliar, but it was busy for a while, and most of them quietly rested or stayed in the club room only when they had some spare time, so it was natural that the changed streets of West Gate Square felt different. .
While I was sitting still and looking at the changed appearance of the West Gate Square, a familiar popular figure quietly approached me and sat down.
“Anything that makes you feel good? Is your face bright?”
“No, just. This time, our mission process has become known to the outside world, right? But more than I thought, people looked at us very well.”
“It’s surprising. I never thought you’d be conscious of that. You are a person who does whatever you want, no matter what anyone says.”
“Still, because of the nature of my job as a hero, it is difficult to live without doing it at all. It is better to do it while listening to praise than to swear. We’re already too famous to be quiet.”
As if she didn’t like that fact, Aina twisted her eyes slightly.
“Then you should know how to be respectful. You wouldn’t think so, but we’re still immature. There is no guarantee that the road to success will last forever.”
“don’t worry. Even if I can’t do it, only you guys will make it happen.”
I’m sure I’ve been through a lot of events, but I don’t really remember what made me come this far.
When did you score 1st in the midterm exam? Probably not.
When did you find out their sincerity? enough to be suspicious.
When you meet a scary but warm teacher named Nihilis? It was impressive.
If not all of this, when you hear the last story left by the second father? Maybe it is.
Whatever the cause, one thing is important.
That I was indebted to many people.
So, I will pay off that debt.
That’s my responsibility and my duty.
“What is it, strange.”
“Where?”
Aina slowly approached me with a fresh smile.
She smelled the perfume she always had.
“We’re going to be together anyway, aren’t we? Were you thinking of running away?”
“No way.”
“Then it means nothing. If we go ahead, naturally you will follow. If no one else knows, would I even let you go? Even if you fall behind, I will lead you upstairs. certainly.”
I felt my face getting hot.
It’s probably going to be bright red.
Because I didn’t know that I would hear such heart-fluttering comments from Aina and not from anyone else.
Of course, compared to Serena’s rush of stones, this is nothing more than cute aegyo.
However, even if the same word is said, the result will be different depending on who says it.
Her provocation was very destructive.
“Hey, how did you feel?”
“What… what?”
“When you tease me. It’s fun.”
Because Aina is also dangerous.
At this rate of learning, by the time I graduate, I’ll be far ahead of myself.
“Well, anyway, Ai or you, are you okay? interested in those around you. You used to hate it.”
“It doesn’t seem that bad these days. I like it because it’s just the right level.”
“What made you change your mind?”
“I tend to thoroughly take care of myself so that the news does not reach the outside in my own way, but there are limits. It was a little stressful for me, but because of you, it makes it less stressful.”
“Oh, it’s better because it’s a lower level than before?”
“It’s dark under the lamp, and you take everyone’s attention, so don’t pay much attention to me. In the past, when people talked a lot about trivial things, now they are only talking about big events.”
So shouldn’t it be that I hate it even more?
Because what Aina had been longing for was proof that she was the best.
But now, I have taken all that fame and place.
“Then, shouldn’t you hate it even more? You always wanted to be the best. I thought I needed proof of that.”
“Because I don’t have to. The best is mine, who can say anything? For me, it’s rather good. In the first place, my ultimate purpose was to want to live as myself. Being the best was what I needed to achieve that purpose. And, looking back now, I think that even if I had reached that position, I wouldn’t have been able to live as myself.”
“why?”
“I would have had to live with the attention of myself and others, avoiding those who pursued me blinded by my reputation.”
I see.
Well, then it is natural to feel a sense of liberation, then.
There is no point in the eyes of people chasing after you and taunting you, and there is no pressure to keep the best position, and finally, I am able to live as ‘Aina’, not Mitsuru.
“So, I like it better now. Now that I have put everything down, I am finally able to live as myself.”
“Then, say thank you or say a word to me. It is thanks to me.”
It was a joke I threw up as revenge a while ago, but Aina seemed to take it seriously in her own way.
With a slightly worried expression on his face, as if he had made up his mind, he slowly grabbed my hand.
“I love you.”
Once again, I felt my face heat up.
I wondered if I could hear her beating heart.
Why?
Unlike before, I couldn’t figure out why my heart was pounding so much, even though I had prepared my mind for it.
“… You become infinitely weaker when you are defeated.”
“You are too strong.”
“Looks like an idiot.”
did not deny
Didn’t Aina also say she likes me because I’m stupid?
If so, that’s what happened.
I grabbed her outstretched hand and slowly lifted her up.
“Anyway, shall we go soon?”
“Where?”
“Anywhere you want to go.”
“great.”
It was only the moment Aina leaned on my arm that I was able to recall it again.
I was able to hide everything else, but I couldn’t hide the sweat dripping down the nape of my neck.
She, too, was a weak person as well as me.
