The Divorced Man Has Returned

chapter 18



#18. Trust me from now on!

[Hehe. Thanks for choosing me! Inwook! Then the next time I meet you, I’ll wear this outfit to go out~]

I feel like Harin has been in contact with me more often these days.

She seems to be contacting me when she has no specific business, but she keeps in touch with me because she asks me about her future training schedule from time to time.

Is she intentionally aimed at this phenomenon? Or it was difficult for her to determine whether the conversation was continuing naturally.

Still, she didn’t feel bad about the outcome.

In her previous life, if she approached her with a feeling of infinite straightness from my side, Harin in this life felt like she was approaching me a little more actively.

As if the situation in her previous life was reversed, it gave a strangely exhilarating feeling.

She wants to be immersed in that feeling, and in fact, she has no intention of confirming Harin as my wife.

However, seeing that she consistently replies to my blunt replies, I thought it was clear that Harin in this life was a good person just like her in her previous life.

After arriving at the academy, I thought that today would be less boring than usual.

As it should be, today is a pair practice day that I prepared while talking hard with Harin.

It was like a break from the rain for me, as I felt like I was going to be ripped off in a theory class.

“Come on. Let’s all go to the training ground!”

The homeroom teacher told us to make sure we got the necessary items, and at the end of the day, we ordered to move on.

* *

Following the instructions of the homeroom teacher, we lined up in pairs and waited for instructions.

“Hehehe. Inwook-ah. Hi!”

Harin greeted me with a bright smile.

“Yes. Harina. Good morning.”

“Are you ready to do well today?”

She clenched her tiny fists and posed her as if she was trying to cheer up.

She must have been 20 years old, but seeing her childlike appearance made me laugh.

“What is it? That pose.”

“It’s a fighting pose! Ruler. Inwook. You too.”

“I… Me too?”

Harin laughed and suggested a strange pose to me.

“Maybe. We are in the same pair… Are you saying that I should do it alone?”

I shook my head at the way she spoke as if I had made a huge mistake if I didn’t do this.

“Ah… no. It’s our pair under. Haha.”

…Definitely, I can’t even remember who my pair was from my previous life.

I was wondering if this was something I was going to do with this as an excuse.

“Come on. Then let’s do it! Go for it!”

“Fa… Fighting?”

With her awkward pose, Harin clenched her fist and raised her arm, and Harin looked at her with a dissatisfied expression.

“…Inwook-ah.”

“Huh?”

“That’s not what you do.”

“…Isn’t it?”

“Yes.”

Harin, who was standing right next to me, but came one step closer to me, puts her hand on mine.

“This is what I do.”

She raised my hand and her directly clenched her fist and she raised my arm to her.

“Come on. Follow me! Go for it!”

“Fighting.”

I shouted a slogan in a crawling voice.

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

No. Why the hell am I doing this?

“Student Inwook. Your voice is low!”

Suddenly, Harin spoke in a tone similar to that of a third-class instructor from a cartoon.

“I… Harin-ah. Can I do this?”

I was the one who sensed some squinting at us, who were already posing strangely.

“Student Inwook! This is the last time, so I want you to do your best. Finally just right. Once. Let me give you a chance!”

When I shook her head and waved her hand as if it was unreasonable, Harin puffed out her cheeks.

“Inwook-ah. Are you really not going to do it?”

I already knew the meaning of that act.

Once Harin inflated her cheeks, if she didn’t give her what she wanted, she would be stuck all day.

Ha… I can’t help it.

After looking around once more, I closed my eyes and decided to get rid of it quickly.

Yes. What. That’s it.

“Fighting!”

I raised my hand and took the same pose as Harin.

… Maybe it’s because I’m a little bit out of control of my voice.

I felt that the eyes around me were focused on me.

Ah. I felt the temperature of my face rise from shame.

Harin looked at me like that, and she smiled as if it was cute.

“Good job. Inwook! After all, it’s my pair!”

…If you weren’t my ex-wife, I wouldn’t have done it. Really.

“Come on. If so, let’s start practicing using training bots from now on!”

Bot for training.

The dolls made for the lower grades of the Hunter Academy were fairly well documented by monsters.

It was a natural story, but the level of monsters that the training bot can imitate is level 2.

To me now, it was just like a stray cat.

But for those who have never been to a real battle, this was perfect for training.

Of course, for those who would become other S-classes from cotyledons, this would feel easy.

Practice started one by one around the area.

The number of bots wasn’t that great, so we watched the other students do it first.

There were some students who dealt with it skillfully, and there were others who couldn’t make up their minds and struggled.

“Come on. Next. Ha-rin Yoon. Choi In-wook.”

It’s finally our turn.

“Inwook! Just do what I said! Got it!”

The plan Harin devised was a plan centered on Harin in which Harin was the main character.

She was capable enough to be proud of, and I had no conflicts in the process of making the plan, as I was also not overly interested in it.

“Yes. Then I will start.”

First, as I said before, I flew towards the bot.

The weapon I’m holding now is the training sword I’ve been using since before entering the academy.

I need to get a weapon quickly, but…

But the bots did not need a sword to be honest.

The bot responded to my movements and started running towards me.

I had a plan to attract attention and buy time, and then organize it with Harin’s magic, so I just had to play with this cat robot.

The bot rushed at me with a fairly ferocious momentum, but I avoided the attack with minimal movement.

“Kieek!”

I wonder if I should have copied that gruesome sound, but it’s for an atmosphere similar to the real one.

I was trying to understand.

After avoiding the attack three or four times like that, Harin gave a signal from behind.

“Inwook! Away!”

At her words, I quickly left the battlefield and moved to Harin.

When Harin reached out her hand, a magic circle large enough to cover the entire monster was formed on her floor.

Certainly, this is a technology that was also patented by Youn Harin in her previous life.

Giant plant vines sprang out from the floor and entangled training bots.

The bot with limited movement began to howl like an animal caught in a trap.

But Harin is a talented person who will become an S-class. He wasn’t sloppy enough to give bots this much.

The vines squeezed the bot more and more strongly, and then the bot stopped working and stopped.

“Okay! Good work! It was a very good skill. Ha-rin Yoon!”

The homeroom teacher made notes on the evaluation paper and talked to us.

“How are you~ How are you~ Choi In-wook!”

Harin looked at me with an expression asking him to praise him.

“It was great. How are you?”

To see if my compliment was satisfactory, Harin shook her head up and down with her nodded nod.

“So. Inwook-ah.”

“Huh?”

“From now on, only trust me!”

She stretched her chest and put her arms around her waist.

“If you’re with me, the highest point in all practice is Dangsang!”

…Even if you’re not a pair, Harin is about the highest point, although it’s not a job.

I didn’t want to express myself.

“Yes, yes. I will only believe in you! Harina!”

A smile bloomed on Harin’s face as she looked at me.

…It was a face I didn’t want to show to anyone.

Clearly, if the other boys had witnessed this scene, it was a feeling that could have left many sleepless.

I thought that Harin’s flawless smile was dazzling even now.

“Yes. Inwook-ah.”

We have this day. The practice ended with the highest score in the class.

* *

The next day after practice, the academy’s system was to give unconditional feedback on practice.

Of course, because Harin and I had the highest score, there were no major criticisms.

If I had to pick one…

[Choi Inwook. Of course, you did well too, but next time, I want you to try it with the feeling of hunting a bot yourself instead of acting as a bait.]

It was as if I was in charge of the bait because I lacked ability.

Other than that, I didn’t say much, so it’s safe to say that there really wasn’t any useful feedback.

Today, the student council meeting was scheduled after the academy class.

I felt a little late, so I hurriedly moved to the student council room.

Actually, I thought that the position of a clerk didn’t have much to do, but there was nothing good about going late and looking disgusting.

“Sorry!”

When I opened the door and entered, it felt like a meeting was in progress.

“Uh. Okay. Inwook. Come on.”

In order not to get in the way as much as possible, I went to my seat next to Sihwa and sat down.

“Hmm. Hmm! Then all the freshmen came. I’ll make you pick a patrol number!”

I think you mentioned patrol last week, but it seems that the order is now decided.

Using the draw function of the cell phone, the student council president started writing a list on the whiteboard.

Is Sihwa and I tomorrow…?

Some of the freshmen are stuck together, but I thought that the fact that it was tomorrow would be a little burdensome for Sihwa.

“Um, newbies, it’s tomorrow. But don’t worry!”

The student council president spoke in a tone that seemed to have a plan.

“I was thinking of patrolling with the vice president and me today, and I was going to tell them to learn from the side anyway.”

Certainly, it would have been better to properly accept the handover at least once.

“Then everyone remember their order. Let me see the poem separately.”

Huh? Not freshmen including me, but only Sihwa…?

I had a strong feeling.
