Academy Silver Gatekeeper

203 – Side Story 2

“Mom…”

To the young girl, death seemed like a very distant word.

But when she found out she would never see her mother again.

The girl finally learned of her death. Eternal separation, eternal sadness.

“I’m sorry. Baby. I’m sorry, my daughter. Sorry. Our granddaughter…”

A person who once rose to the status of a hero as a swordsman.

A legacy from the past that has not withstood the passage of time.

Nevertheless, Kang Min-seong, an old general with a shining sword.

The strong man cannot hold back his emotions and sheds tears.

I console my granddaughter, who is staring blankly at the portrait in my arms.

“Suhyeon. Sorry. My baby “I’m really sorry.”

It was something that could not be done. It was the future that everyone was prepared for.

A person with special abilities is ultimately a being who lives with death at his side in everything he does.

On the outside, he seems like a shiny hero, but in reality, he’s just walking a tightrope over hell.

I’ve been able to endure it well so far, but I couldn’t this time.

So, the daughter of Kang Min-seong and the mother of his granddaughter his ‘Kim Soo-hyun’.

It has disappeared beyond the darkness, never to return.

“Ah…”

The man who arrived at the funeral fell to his knees.

I went straight to the portal, but two days had already passed.

It was a shame for him to hear the news too late.

As a resident, I have to finish it, but there is more important work left.

After losing her mother, her only family left her her is her her father her her her.

I am seriously worried about what to do with my daughter in the future.

“Sorry. Soohyun. I’m sorry dad. It’s too late. “I’m really sorry.”

Kim Soo-hyun, who was held in his father’s arms, said nothing.

Because you hate me? Because you’re disappointed? That wasn’t the reason.

Just because this all seems so unrealistic. I couldn’t even imagine it would be like this.

For my mom to die and for my dad to apologize like this.

It was so different from the world she had known so far.

It felt like I was falling apart. My heart hurts so much, but there is nothing I can do.

“…”

All the little girl could do was stare blankly, held in her father’s arms

All I could see was a picture of my mother smiling from afar.

“What do you plan to do now?”

Shortly after the funeral was over. Kang Min-seong found his son-in-law

Due to the nature of Taejun Kim’s work, he often goes overseas.

It’s not just about money. Information, exchange, and even cooperation.

It can be said that the work he is in charge of is very important.

That’s why I kept traveling abroad, leaving my wife and daughter behind-

“… I do not know. Craftsman, adult.”

“What are you trying to do if you don’t know better?”

“I’m not sure if I qualify. “I wonder if I can really take on Soohyun well.”

I wanted to remain a good husband and a good father, but it was difficult.

Because he had to work to do first. Because I wanted to help the country.

So I focused a little more on that and this is what happened.

“Wouldn’t it be better to have my daughter by my side?”

“What right do I have to do that? I missed several birthdays, and this time I was even late for my mother’s funeral. “I don’t think you’ll be happy just because you’re with me.”

“Goofy. They are still parents, and they are still children.”

Even though he said that, Kang Min-seong could not force it in the end.

As Kim Tae-jun said, even if he follows him, Kim Soo-hyun will remain alone.

Maybe it would be better for her to be in Korea than with her dad.

However, this is because I cannot openly suggest it in front of Kim Tae-jun.

“Father-in-law. “I hope your father-in-law will take care of Soohyun.”

“… Would you mind? It would be very lonely alone. “You and Suhyun.”

“I know. But rather than by my father-in-law’s side her her. And it will be better around my mother’s family. Even if I take her with me, I can’t treat her “Like a wife.”

Kang Min-seong, who was reluctant to hear those words, eventually nodded his head.

It is very difficult for a young person to go abroad and live.

Above all, it will be difficult for Kim Tae-jun to always be by your side.

“Sorry. “I am truly sorry.”

“No. I understand. On the contrary, I wish I would have done the same. Don’t the dead daughter and Suhyun look a lot alike? “I think seeing that child will ease her sadness.”

“Sorry…”

“Don’t worry. He will be strong because he is the child of you and my daughter. I will overcome it.”

*

Unfortunately, Kang Min-seong’s wish was not an easy task.

Since then, Kim Soo-hyun has become increasingly darker and has retreated into a corner.

There’s no telling what kind of damage you’ll get if you try to force it out.

It was truly embarrassing for Kang Min-seong, who cared for his family.

So deeper, further down, into darker places.

A soul that should have been destroyed by villains in that state.

“Tell me again.”

“Ugh! Wow! “I’m sorry!!”

“They often say that you have a pierced mouth. Please know the topic and object to the examiner’s opinion.”

Of course, now it was just something that didn’t even happen.

“Um, Suhyeon? “Wouldn’t it be okay to stop now?”

“No, Sister Hana. “I need to be scolded more.”

“Ah… Ugh, ugh! Sorry. Soohyun!”

With a flame hotter and more brilliant than anyone else.

Moving forward without resting just for one person.

Kim Soo-hyun has now become the perfect ‘Red Witch’.

– Shocking article! Mr. C, a famous talented person. Getting into trouble due to controversy over school violence in the past?! –

-Mr. C, a person with Grade A ability. It turned out that she bullied many students in high school… –

This ability develops randomly, regardless of gender or personality.

Therefore, there were bound to be people who had caused problems in the past.

Part of this is revealing that famous people with special abilities were once rare trash.

“It looks like it exploded again.”

“I know. “If you look at it this way, it’s really brave not to become a villain?”

“So what happens to that talented person? Will I be punished?”

“What is punishment? Do you want to take it? “Do you think the country or clan will take it easy and do things that never happened?”

“No way. You never know. Considering the public sentiment, they might try to punish him somehow.”

Before the cataclysm occurred. So, it was a time when there was still room for people with special abilities.

Thanks to this, it was not impossible to punish those with special abilities who committed mistakes in the past.

Most of them chose to live as people with superpowers rather than villains, so they readily admitted their mistakes.

However, this controversy that erupted today has brought about a fire that is hotter than anything else.

– Breaking news! The girl who defeated Kwak Hyeok, the most promising prospect and S-class talented person, turns out to be the worst match ever?! –

– A flood of revelations! When I was in high school, I was hit by that girl and almost died! –

– It’s a wonder he didn’t become a villain! He was truly the worst of the worst!! –

A high school student who recently made a huge splash by defeating Kwak Hyuk.

Both of her parents are foreigners, but she was naturalized and has blonde hair and is a Korean.

The controversy over the school violence of ‘Irina’, who was more Korean than any other Korean, erupted.

“…”

“…”

There was no word back about how this happened or whether it was true.

Everyone was silent and all they did was drool.

There is also an association to make her her official her her her, led by Irina’s parents her her her.

‘If you look at the things our Lina usually does…’

‘When she thinks of the girl who beat up Kwak Hyuk…’

‘Considering what she did not long ago when she caught a villain while walking down the street…’

No matter how much I think about it, it is on a scale similar to that of the past Iljin.

I think it would have been weird for her if she hadn’t. Honestly, I admit it even if I did it.

“Lina. “Did you really go around hitting kids when you were a student?”

Irina’s father, Lee Chang, carefully asks a question.

Of course, right after that, Irina’s mother her, Park Yeon-ju, slapped her on the back to silence her.

“What did your mom say! “She told me not to go around bragging about my strength!”

At the time, I just thought she had a very talkative nature, unlike other female students.

Is it okay to be an athlete just because you have good athletic ability? I thought.

However, it turned out that it was a kind of preview for him to blossom into a person with special abilities.

“No, I really didn’t hit you!”

“How can you not hit me!” People keep coming out saying they hit me!”

Just as Park Yeon-joo was about to smash her back again.

Han Ji-yoon, a person from the association who came to their house her her her, stops her mother and daughter her her her.

“Just calm down for now, mother.” “I’m checking and I think there’s more.”

“Whoa… I want to tell you to apologize quickly. “What on earth is going on?”

“Oh, Mom! “They are the ones who deserved to be beaten?!”

This is it until the end! Sudden! He threatened me and said, “Kkegaeng!” Irina closes her mouth

Meanwhile, Han Ji-yoon must have noticed something about her and quickly removed her lips.

“Lina. What does that mean? “You mean they are the ones who deserved to be beaten?”

“I’m not in Iljin. If it was a strike, they were a strike! All I did was scold those who did their best! “Iljin idiots keep making me feel bad!”

After hearing that, Han Ji-yoon was able to predict the current situation at a glance.

First of all, it is true that Irina used violence, but the target was not ordinary students.

They were just so-called bullies who harassed ordinary students.

However, they are keeping their mouths shut about what they have done and are only spreading what happened to them.

‘No wonder. In the posts of those exposing school violence, there were posts asking whether you had the right to say such things.’

I think it would be best to meet with the president of the association and Ma Hak-jun to discuss this issue.

After coming to that conclusion, Han Ji-yoon decided to go back.

“Ah, sister! I’ll do that. “Is it S-rank or something?”

“Huh?”

“Do that! “I will rip out the lips of those who are fussing without knowing their mistakes!”

“Irina!!”

Oh my god I’m not even going to pull out my tongue, I’m going to pull out my lips.

When I imagine that scene, an eerie feeling passes by without me even realizing it.

“Aren’t those bastards embarrassing?! No. I was part of Iljin? Oh yeah! It must have been a group! Iljin in charge! Iljin! These idiots don’t know what they were doing and are just fucking with what happened to them!!”

“… There was a time when our Rina was like that.”

“I know. “It was really hard back then.”

Two couples sitting in the living room leisurely drinking tea.

And in the kitchen-

“No! If you do this, all the meat will fall apart! Do you really want to cook?!”

“Of course there is! I still see it now! You work really hard!”

“Don’t crush it hard, cook it hard!”

Irina was also changing little by little thanks to Baek Seo-jin, the person in charge.
