I Became the Academy's Kibitz Villain [part 1]

Chapter 26: Heroes Are Those Who Overcome The Irrational (3)

Monday.

The library was closed, so it was a day off for me, and I could rest at home while reading the books I had borrowed.

However, I purposely put on a suit and came to the Academy's main building.

Not to tour the Academy, but to check on the 'target'.

Buzz buzz.

Many people in similar uniforms were heading toward the auditorium.

The auditorium, capable of accommodating more than 2,000 people, was where the Academy held major events and, at the same time, where today's 'entrance ceremony' would occur.

It would usually be an ordinary entrance ceremony, but this year would be quite different from before.

"Do you think he will be introduced during today's lecturer presentation?"

"Sigh. Snow White... I'm so happy she's coming as a lecturer this year."

"An S-Class, moreover, the strongest of the ice users, we get to attend her superpower lecture. Huh, it was a good choice to delay graduation by a year...!"

Both those participating in the entrance ceremony and those who came to watch it were extremely interested in one woman's existence.

Baek Seol-hee.

Snow White.

Woahhhh!

Just by dressing in a suit and taking a seat in the auditorium along with other faculty members, she received a lot of cheers.

'She seems awkward.'

Baek Seol-hee lightly nodded in response to the crowd, then quietly settled down and sat on a chair.

Receiving cheers as a hero might be familiar, but receiving them as a 'teacher' seemed quite awkward.

'Oh.'

A familiar face took the stage.

"Ah, before we start the entrance ceremony..."

Student council president Yoon Iseon grabbed the microphone and started to speak.

Usually, even at entrance ceremonies, faculty members tended to host, but perhaps because the student council president had outstanding abilities, she had been entrusted with conducting this formal event.

"The order of the entrance ceremony is...."

While Yoon Iseon was explaining the order of the entrance ceremony, a text message arrived on my smartphone.

[Over there.]

[Mr. Ji-hwan.]

[Please help me.]

"......?"

It was Baek Seol-hee.

It was not just anyone, but Baek Seol-hee was requesting my help.

"Ah, can I call you?"

I immediately called Baek Seol-hee, but the call was quickly rejected.

"What the."

A single text message saying she was unable to take calls.

Since I suspected she might be secretly sending messages, I immediately texted back.

[Are you keeping these messages secret from others?]

[I'm sending this without others knowing, so please communicate through text.]

"Ah."

Our messages overlapped.
