The Villains I Taught Became Heroes - Chapter 78



77 – Vacation – 6

“Anything?”

“Yes. Anything.”

“Then could you go get me a drink?”

“Th-that kind of thing, I can do without using this…”

Saying that, Lena went to the concession stand and brought back a drink.

After receiving it, Lee Hyun took a light sip and spoke in a relaxed tone.

“Do you not need anything else?”

With her eyes sparkling, Lena gazed at Lee Hyun.

She clung to him as if she could really do anything, sweetly whispering.

As Lee Hyun sipped the drink while watching Lena, he fluttered the card.

“Then could you back off a bit?”

“…W-well, I told you, you don’t have to use this for that…”

With a slightly pouting face, Lena distanced herself from Lee Hyun.

Lee Hyun let out a small sigh as he looked at Lena, who returned to her original spot.

“Well, I don’t really have anything in particular that I want from you.”

“Um, um. Anything is fine. Anything.”

Lena hesitated as she spoke, subtly shifting her body.

As the shadow robe that had been covering her body fell away, her form was revealed.

Wearing a normally baggy shadow robe, Lena’s body was hidden, but now, as it was unveiled, several people around her gasped in admiration.

It was a dress that clung to her body.

The passionate red dress showcased Lena’s voluptuous figure perfectly.

Full breasts, a slim waist, and a large backside. The deep side slit revealed her smooth thighs and long legs, making her even more alluring.

Feeling a bit shy about exposing herself, a blush crept onto her ivory face.

Nevertheless, Lena provocatively crossed her legs and stared directly at Lee Hyun.

“Really, anything…”

“Is that so? Then…”

“…gulp.”

Lee Hyun gazed seriously at Lena.

Noticing that his eyes had scanned her body, Lena swallowed hard.

‘M-Master is looking at me…’

Her lower abdomen thumped with excitement. Her entire body felt hot, almost burning.

The only one who could quench this heat was Lee Hyun.

Feeling parched as if stranded in a desert, Lena kept swallowing her saliva, and when Lee Hyun drew closer to her, she clenched her fists tightly.

“Could you throw this away for me?”

“…aaah…”

Rena moaned as she reached out for the empty drink bottle he offered.

After striding over to the trash can with the bottle in hand and tossing it away, Rena sat back down, and Lee Hyun smiled brightly.

“Do I look like someone who expects something from you?”

“…Is it because I’m not pretty?”

“That can’t be true.”

With her long, luscious silver hair, lovely appearance, and a body that matched, Rena was more than enough to be called beautiful, even objectively.

No one could say that she wasn’t beautiful.

“I-I don’t have confidence like So-wol unnie…”

“Whether you have confidence or not is just a matter of disposition. It’s not a bad thing. And you just think too much, so there’s no need to blame yourself too much.”

“…I-I’m not bright like Arisha.”

“Being bright isn’t the only good thing.”

“…Then why?”

“I told you.”

Lee Hyun gently patted Rena’s head.

“What I want from you is nothing.”

“……”

“So far, you’ve done very well, and you’ve been doing great. As your mentor, I’m proud of you.”

“…What about as a man?”

With her fists tightly clenched, Rena looked up at Lee Hyun.

As her blue eyes met his, he smiled softly.

“I don’t know what’s so good about a guy like me, but Rena, I appreciate your feelings. However, you might regret it later. I can’t let my student have such regrets.”

His tone was gentle, but Rena understood.

This was a rejection.

It was the line he had drawn. So she clenched her fists even tighter.

“…Y-You don’t like me as a student either.”

“Oh. That can’t be true.”

Lee Hyun kindly took Rena’s hand.

Even that touch was sweet enough to be irresistible.

It was soothing enough to ease the pain of being rejected.

Thus, Rena couldn’t pull away from his hand and simply lowered her head.

As he lightly patted her, Lee Hyun spoke kindly to Rena.

“I like you.”

“…Then.”

“It seems that my liking is different from your liking.”

Rena pressed her lips tightly together.

No matter how much she tried to pull him closer, Lee Hyun wouldn’t budge.

In that case, it would be right to retreat for now.

With her fists still clenched, Rena looked straight at Lee Hyun.

“I-I can’t give up.”

“You’re going to have a hard time.”

“Still…”

“The reason you have those feelings for me must be because of the intense memories from your childhood. But if you take your time to reflect, you might find someone better as time goes on. I am your mentor, and you are my student. I raised you like a daughter and hoped you would grow up wonderfully.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Like a, like a daughter, but I’m not your daughter.”

“That’s true.”

“…So, I can’t, I can’t give up. I know that you, you don’t hate me, Master.”

Stubbornly speaking, Lena jumped up from her seat and wrapped her body in her shadowy robe once more.

After giving a slight bow, she dashed out, and Lee Hyun, who was watching her leave, let out a heavy sigh.

Lee Hyun went to the beach around sunset.

Even though the red sunset was coloring the emerald sea, there were quite a few people in the water.

While he was watching them, he heard footsteps approaching him.

“Yay~! It’s the teacher~!”

It was a bright voice he could hear anytime. When he turned to the side, he saw Arisha in a blue bikini and white sandals.

Her long, slightly damp blonde hair clung to her fair skin, revealing an alluring figure, but because of the bright smile occupying her pretty face, all he could think was how cute she looked.

“What are you doing here?”

Lee Hyun was sitting a little away from the sea on the beach.

Sitting alone and watching the students, he chuckled at Arisha, who sat beside him.

“Just enjoying the view. Unlike an old guy like me, you’re enjoying your youth.”

“Hey~! You’re not that old, teacher~!”

“You little rascal. At my age, I’m an old man. An old man. To me, you all just look like kids.”

“Hmm~. You don’t look like one though~!”

Arisha, sitting next to Lee Hyun, shivered slightly.

It was warm, but perhaps because she had just come out of the water, she seemed to feel a chill.

Looking at her with warm eyes, Lee Hyun opened his bag.

He took out a towel from inside and offered it to Arisha.

“At least dry your hair. If you stay like that, you’ll catch a cold.”

“Hehe~. Dry it for me!”

“Are you a child?”

“You just said it a moment ago. That I’m a child. So dry it for me~.”

Who could resist the charm of Arisha, who was smiling brightly and acting cute?

Lee Hyun shrugged and stood up, taking a step back.

“Stand up.”

“Huh?”

Tilting her head in confusion, Arisha stood up as Lee Hyun instructed.

Watching her, Lee Hyun snapped his fingers.

In that moment, a large droplet appeared in the air.

“Wow! Is it magic?!”

“Yeah. You were soaked in seawater. You should at least wipe it off a bit.”

“Hehe~! So I just need to go in here?!”

With a leap, Arisha jumped into the large droplet.

The sight of Arisha, washing herself as if swimming inside the droplet, was as beautiful as a mermaid.

Lee Hyun, who was watching her with a smile, created a breeze as she emerged from the water, drying her hair.

“Wow! Is this possible with magic?”

“For a wizard like me, it’s not difficult. It’s really just an application of basic magic.”

“Magic is convenient~.”

“Very convenient.”

“Should I try to learn magic too?”

“Give it up. You have no talent for it.”

Arisha had no aptitude for magic.

It was much better to hone her talents than to struggle with what she couldn’t do.

After drying Arisha’s hair completely, Lee Hyun took out another towel and offered it to her.

“Thank you~.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Since I feel refreshed thanks to you, I’ll listen to your worries.”

With her green eyes blinking at him, Lee Hyun forced a smile.

“Worries, you say.”

“Come on~. It’s obvious something’s bothering you, right? Just be honest and tell me~. I’ve helped a lot of kids with their problems!”

“Sigh.”

“Did you get confessed to by So-wol or Lena?”

“…You’re sharp. I can’t hide anything from you, can I?”

What a perceptive one. Lee Hyun patted Arisha’s head, and she tilted her head in confusion.

“Why? It’s nice, isn’t it? They’re both pretty, cool, and kind.”

“You little brat. I told you before, there’s quite an age difference between us. People will talk if they see me with you.”

“But you don’t care about what others think.”

“…..”

“And you know.”

Arisha snuggled into Lee Hyun’s embrace. Looking up at him, she smiled brightly.

“I like you too, you know?”

“Sigh. I know you’re beautiful, kind, and capable. But that doesn’t mean I like it. And you are my students. As your teacher, I want you to meet someone better and live happily.”

“Hmm?”

“So let’s pretend I didn’t hear that confession. It would just be troublesome.”

At Lee Hyun’s gentle rejection, Arisha smiled brightly and gazed at him with deep eyes.

Then, releasing her embrace, she shook her head.

“I don’t want to.”

Arisha giggled at Lee Hyun.

Then, standing on her tiptoes, she whispered softly in his ear.

“…You sweet little liar.”

“…..!”

At her voice, Lee Hyun’s body stiffened slightly.

Seizing the moment, Arisha planted a quick kiss on Lee Hyun’s cheek and stepped back, waving her hand.

“Hehe~! Then, teacher. See you at dinner later~!”

Watching her head toward the resort with light steps, Lee Hyun let out a heavy sigh.

“What a ghostly creature.”
