The Academy’s Time Stop Player

Whoops-.

Ha-jun was standing still in front of the house, silently and bitterly watching the whole process, from the moment the house was burning, and the process of the wizard and hero of the association coming and putting out the fire.

“… … .”

To be honest, Ha-jun had high expectations when the president of the association said that he would buy a house.

Even now, when I see the shape of the house after the lights are turned off, I really like it… … No, because it looked like such a huge house that I thought I would live once in my life. Of course, I didn’t even go inside, but I was already feeling the warmth.

So, seeing a house that was burnt down like that and left with only ashes, it seems unavoidable that my heart is empty. At that time, the president of the association, who had the same bewildered face as Ha-jun, carefully called out to Ha-jun.

“Ha, Ha-jun, cadet.”

“Yes?”

“I am really sorry about this. As soon as the investigation is under way, we will let you know as soon as the investigation is complete. Once you get in the car. We will take you back to the academy.”

“under… … , Yes.”

Hajun sighed as if he was tired of those words.

Once, Ha-jun went back into the car with the president of the association, and the president of the association drove the car as it was and told Ha-jun his conclusion.

“It seems that information has been leaked.”

“Yes, I see.”

“This matter was top-secret. It’s a secret that only 5 people, including myself, know.”

“So, the villain has infiltrated the association right now?”

“It is very likely, but it may not be.”

Well, it was definitely a case of a villain infiltrating the association.

However, in Ha-jun’s memory, there was no episode that a villain infiltrated the association, so I was a little puzzled.

Of course, there were similar episodes.

In that large episode, the association’s villain was not infiltrating, but in the form of betrayal, so there was still a lot of skepticism about this case.

“Are there any villains you can guess?”

At the question of the president of the association, Ha-jun fell into thought for a moment.

He’s a guessing villain who did this thing… … .

Where? Villain Union? altar? Willant? or China?

Of course, there were too many guesses.

The problem is that there are so many that it is impossible to specify.

“under… … , I do not know.”

“For now, our association will do our best to investigate.”

Hajun nodded at those words and just stared blankly at the window.

That was then.

With the sound of a ringing phone, Kim Jung-yong, the president of the association, was driving the car and answered the phone right away.

Soon after, his eyes lit up and he began to look puzzled.

He hung up the phone like that and opened his mouth to Ha-jun with an unfamiliar face.

“I… … , Hajun cadet?”

“Yes?”

“That caught the culprit.”

“… … ?”

It was Hajun who made a puzzled expression at those words.

* * *

Ha-jun, who returned to the academy again, was able to find out the culprit in this case through the contact of the president of the association.

A 24-year-old man who lived an ordinary life in the neighborhood.

A white man with no job.

He was the culprit in this case.

“… … .”

– Huh, really… … . Such an amazing thing to happen… … .

Ha-jun was at a loss for words because of his absurdity, and the president of the association was also making an absurd expression on his face.

So, the end of this case was that the culprit who set fire to his house this time was not a superhuman, but an ordinary citizen.

“Really?”

– Confirmed by CCTV installed nearby.

“her… … .”

An absurd sigh escaped Ha-joon’s mouth.

How will Ha-jun find and punish the culprit who set fire to his house? I was thinking about it, but when I realized that the culprit was an ordinary person, it was futile.

“Then why did you make a fire?”

-that is… … , there’s a problem here, but he keeps saying it’s not him.

In the course of the interview process, even though he showed the CCTV footage, he denied that he was the culprit.

Of course, he didn’t say the reason for the fire.

-He said he was definitely on the CCTV, but he said he didn’t set the fire.

“What, you don’t remember?”

-If you listen to what you say, it looks like that, but if there is a problem, I checked it using the association’s lie detection ability and it turned out to be true.

“… … .”

– I don’t think it’s something that should just be skipped over.

Ha-joon was deep in thought at those words.

It is said that he is right in the video, but he did not set the fire… … .

‘There’s no way it’s brainwashing… … .’

The first culprit that came to mind was Zehar, the brainwashing power of the altar, but that didn’t happen.

Most importantly, he’s dead.

‘Then maybe it’s him?’

A villain that appears in this episode of Anna’s club activities.

To be honest, looking at the situation, there was no answer other than him.

“Yeah, I get it right now.”

– We will contact you after further investigation. just like that

drop-.

The president of the association hung up the phone with those words.

Ha-jun was lying in bed, thinking about this criminal.

This one is for that lil chicken owl

No, I was thinking about the episode Anna was going through this time.

The episode where I tried to intervene because of the penalty anyway.

‘Isn’t it supposed to be next Friday?’

[Anna Episode 1-2: Specter ‘Doppelganger’]

An episode featuring the A-class villain ‘Doppelganger’, who is known to have died in the past by the association.

Ha-jun was sure that he was the culprit.

* * *

After 4 days passed, it was 5 PM on Friday.

“Heh heh heh.”

Anna was humming pleasantly, stuffing her bag full of things.

Today was none other than a travel club activity day.

There is nothing more delightful than going on a trip for a change of mood, knowing nothing else.

Also, I liked the place I went to.

Did you say you are going on a trip to one of Korea’s famous hot springs?

I was planning to take this opportunity to relieve my body fatigue.

So Anna finished all the preparations and headed to the front door of the academy where the club members were waiting.

In front of the main gate of the academy, senior Kim Young-jun, a senior in second grade, a female senior named Sora Lee, and Seol-ah Yoo were waiting at the front door.

“Oh, you didn’t come. So, are all our members gathered now?”

With those words, Kim Young-jun smiles friendly.

“Well then, guys. I am boarding the wing bus in advance.”

“… … ? Anyone else coming?”

Yoo Seol-ah asked what Kim Young-jun said.

As far as she knew, the seniors in the 3rd grade among the members of the travel club were busy preparing for graduation and training, so they couldn’t participate in the club.

At that, Kim Young-jun explained with a smile of embarrassment.

“That’s because another club happened to coincide with our destination.”

“Oh, what kind of club is it?”

“It must be a club you know well. ah! Here he comes.”

With those words, Kim Young-jun points to somewhere with a gesture.

At that moment, Anna and Yu Seol-ah looked at the boy and girl approaching the wing bus with absurd expressions.

“Hehe, I’m looking forward to this trip.”

“I know.”

Joo-ah is smiling innocently.

And next to him, Kim Ha-jun, walking side by side with Lee Joo-ah with a grim expression.

“ah… … .”

* * *

For reference, Anna never talked to Ha-jun since training.

In other words, should it be called the Cold War?

As a result, the inside of the bus was quiet and the atmosphere was cold.

Of course, it was because the atmosphere between Ha-jun and Anna was not serious.

“Wow… … , what happened to the two of you?”

Of course, Kim Young-jun, who did not know English, turned his head and asked Seol-ah Yoo.

However, Seol-ah Yoo just smiled bitterly.

“Well, it’s a situation we shouldn’t be involved in.”

“Well… … .”

Lee Young-han scratched his head as if he was a little embarrassed by those words.

So the bus continued to run and soon arrived at its destination.

A place surrounded by mountains in the vicinity, with tall buildings and a place where the unique scent of the nearby hot springs spreads.

It was a famous hot spring hotel in Korea that became famous because it had a private hot spring room inside the hotel.

“Come on, let’s go in.”

The children enter the hotel with those words.

After receiving the keys to the dormitory at the front desk, Kim Young-jun and the children opened their mouths looking at the children.

“For now, let’s assume that each of us is free to promote until 7 pm. How about having dinner together at 7 o’clock in the same dorm? Are you okay too? Well, don’t you have a specific schedule?”

At that, Hajun nodded his head.

Well, there was absolutely no reason to refuse.

“Okay, then we’ll have dinner together later, and now it’s disbanded. Have fun, guys.”

With those words, Kim Young-jun went somewhere with Lee So-ra, and the remaining children, Yu Seol-ah and Anna, and Ha-jun and Joo-ah, thought for a moment what to do.

But, strangely enough, it was so quiet inside that it was hard to call it a famous hotel.

Of course, Ha-jun knew the reason.

Ha-jun slowly turned his head to look at Yoo Seol-ah.

Seol-ah Yoo, who immediately felt his gaze, turned her head slightly to look at Ha-jun, and Seol-ah Yoo just smiled.

Soon after, Yoo Seol-ah slowly approaches Ha-jun.

Seol-ah Yoo quietly opened her mouth to Ha-jun.

“Because Anna is there, I rented the entire hotel just in case. Still, I came here to take a break, but if there are other people, I am concerned.”

“Awesome.”

“Well, I’ve also worked with hotels, so I have a lot of connections in this field. Are you going to stay in this state longer than that?”

“what?”

With those words, Yu Seol-ah glanced at Anna.

To be honest, I didn’t talk for a week, but as Ha-jun, I couldn’t understand why Anna was still doing that.

Apparently, he’s been doing that since he provoked him by referring to Carton during training for cadets at the time.

And unless he’s an idiot, he probably already knows why I provoked him.

“Honestly, I don’t know why I’m still angry.”

So it was Hajun who spoke frankly.

Contrary to that, Yoo Seol-ah was puzzled.

Seol-ah Yu shook her head and opened her mouth.

“It’s not that Anna’s upset, because she probably knows why Ha-jun said that.”

“Then why are you doing that?”

“Well, maybe we can find out if we talk?”

talk… … .

Come to think of it, it’s been a while since we didn’t talk.

Ha-Jun nodded his head to understand.

Yoo Seol-ah, who smiled brightly at the sight, continued.

“Anyway, talk to each other later. Anyway, Ha-joon is going to stay here for the holidays, right?”

“What, right?”

“Relax. There is a lot to enjoy here.”

“Oh, yes. What.”

I came here to catch the villain who set fire to my house, but I can rest comfortably while I’m here. Besides, Lee Joo-ah, who came with me, seems to be looking forward to it.

“Wow… … , This is my first time here.”

At that moment, Lee Joo-ah, who was next to her, opened her mouth with her eyes shining.

With a friendly smile at those words, Seol-ah Yoo opened her mouth as she looked at Joo-ah.

“Then, would you like to go with me, Joo-ah?”

“Oh really?”

“Of course, because I know the hotel here. Then, see you later, Hajun.”

With those words, Lee Joo-ah followed Yu Seol-ah to somewhere.

In the end, only Anna and Ha-jun were left.

“Uh-huh.”

Then Anna started coughing and looking at Hajun.

Anna looked at Ha-joon for a moment and then opened her mouth, scratching her cheek in embarrassment.

“Come on, shall we go first?”
