Chapter 147 – / 147

/ 147

At the indoor training center, as usual today, the special engineer students were sweating heavily while training.

“Senior Agnes. Are you okay?”

“Merita..?”

While taking a break after sparring, a female student called Merita approached Agnes. The woman who had been sparring with Agnes just a moment ago was one of the juniors that Agnes favored because of her excellent qualities and sincere personality. Although it was a bit disappointing that her loyalty to Agnes was so blind.

“What do you mean, are you okay? Merita.”

“For some reason, you seem to have no energy.”

“I am as usual.”

“But today in Dalian…”

Mary Ta trailed off her words, as if she couldn’t bear to tell the senior she admired that she had made a lot of mistakes. Then Agnes chuckled and stroked her Merita’s head.

“..Your skills must have improved that much.”

“Ah… Thank you.”

Merita’s cheeks turned red. Is she really that happy to be praised? Agnes felt comforted, albeit slightly.

However, Merita’s point was not wrong.

After Agnes sparred with Minwoo, she kept thinking about that incident.

‘That guy… What on earth is he… And the technology at that time…’

Just yesterday, here, Agnes challenged Minwoo to a friendly sparring match. I didn’t like the arrogant attitude of the guy who boasted that he was recommended by His Majesty the Emperor. So he planned to scold him a little.

But he was the one who lost. For some reason, he did not want to humiliate himself, but instead he admitted defeat and stepped down, but it was an even greater humiliation for Agnes.

But the biggest shame is…

‘I felt fear from him.’

An Imperial Knight must not be frustrated or afraid under any circumstances. Especially if he is someone who will one day follow in his father’s footsteps and become a knight commander…

Agnes was so ashamed of herself.

‘Why would I go to such a… Filthy person… Ugh…!’

It wouldn’t have been so humiliating if the guy had proudly knocked him down. For a knight, defeat is not something to be ashamed of. Accepting defeat and training yourself further is what a true knight looks like.

But he only brought shame to himself, as if he was okay with winning or losing. It’s such a mean thing to do even with that level of skill…

“Is it because of what happened yesterday?”

“..!”

Agnes’ face she turned red at Merita’s words her her her. Could it be that you saw it? Agnes suddenly grabbed Merita’s shoulder and shook her and said.

“Did you… See it?”

“Seo, senior..!? What do you mean?”

“…”

Agnes, who saw Merita’s expression of sheer ignorance, immediately realized that she had made a mistake. It was fortunate. Well, no one would be able to figure out what that object is unless they were the one who suffered it.

Agnes apologized, taking her hand away from Merita.

“I’m sorry.”

“Oh, no. Not much to say… But why are you doing that?”

“..You don’t have to know.”

“…”

Merita let out a small sigh at Agnes’ words her her her her. For Merita, Agnes was a senior she truly respected and admired, and an ideal knight. It was a great sadness for Merita to see her so depressed.

And the person who made Agnes like this was like an invincible enemy to her.

“Senior Agnes.”

“Merita?”

Suddenly her Merita stood up, and Agnes looked up at her with her puzzled eyes.

“Please leave it to me, Senior Agnes.

“What do you mean, you’re leaving it to me?”

“I’m not sure… Is it because of that transfer student? Didn’t that guy scare you in some irrational way? He definitely used the background… I can never forgive something like that.”

“W-what? No, something like that…”

Agnes was taken aback by Merita’s words her her her. What kind of thinking process does one go through to come to that conclusion? Agnes, thinking that it would be better if it were like that, tried to dissuade Merita. But she didn’t care to listen at all.

“Please leave it to me, Senior Agnes. I will go right away and scold that transfer student.”

“No, I mean… “

Once Merita gets triggered like that, she won’t listen. She doesn’t know, but that transfer student is so talented that even she can’t compete with him. She doesn’t know what kind of shame Merita will face if she goes against him.

Agnes wondered how to get this child to listen to her.

But unfortunately, it has already happened.

“Oh, everyone is working hard today too.”

“Da, you..!”

“!”

At the place where Merita turned around at the sound of a familiar voice, Minwoo, the transfer student whom she had been looking at just a moment ago, was standing there with his unique, eerie smile on his face.

…

“You! With what kind of face have you come here again?”

“Huh..?”

Minwoo suddenly looked at a female student who was yelling at him with bewildered eyes.

“So… Who is that…?”

In response to Minwoo’s question, Merita proudly pushed out her breasts and shouted.

“My name is Merita! I’m a special engineer student training with senior Agnes. And I’m a transfer student. I have something to tell you.”

“Merita..!”

Agnes tried to stop Merita, but Merita held out her palm and stopped Agnes from approaching.

“Don’t worry, senior. I will scold this man who refuses to accept his defeat and tries to disgrace you with ugly things!”

“Something ugly?”

Minwoo tilted his head. She thought that no one other than herself had noticed that she had taken off Agnes’ panties… But she doubted Agnes would have said such a thing to anyone else.

Minwoo asked Agnes just in case.

“Senior Agnes. Perhaps I could give her senior’s panties…”

“Wow!”

When Minwoo tried to say the word panties, Agnes blushed profusely and shouted. The voice was loud enough to drown out Minwoo’s words, and even unrelated people around him gathered around to see what was going on.

Minwoo said with a chuckle at Agnes’ reaction.

“Looking at your reaction, I don’t think you said it directly… So what exactly do you mean by ugly behavior?”

It was Merita, not Agnes, who answered Minwoo’s question.

“You! Did you think I wouldn’t know just because you showed up like that? I know you’re pretending to accept defeat in front of people, but making up dirty tricks behind their backs!”

“..What is the evidence?”

“Senior Agnes’ shadowy expression is proof of that!”

“…”

What? This woman. For some reason, he says a line that seems like something I’ve heard before.

Minwoo said with a laugh as if he was dumbfounded.

“So… “What do you want to say to me?”

“Compete with me!”

“Win?”

“Okay. Compete with me right here and now. And if I win, you promise not to do any more dirty things to Senior Agnes.”

“Hmm…”

Minwoo seemed to think for a moment, then nodded his head and said.

“Well, okay, I’ll do that. But what if I win?”

“Yes?”

“What will you do if I win?”

“Well, that is…”

Mary Ta was speechless, as if she had never thought that she would lose. Minwoo shook his head and said.

“Then let’s do this. Anyway, I came here in connection with the Ministry of Health’s activities, so if I win, Merita, I will ask you to cooperate with the Ministry of Health’s activities.”

“..Do whatever you want. I won’t lose anyway.”

Minwoo smiled at Merita’s confident answer and said.

“Hehe, is that so? Well, Merita will definitely have to win.”

“?”

She’s going to have to win. What on earth does that mean? As Merita tilted her head, Minwoo continued.

“If I win against Merita, I plan to receive Merita’s cooperation right here.”

“What… Do you mean?”

“For your information, the activity for which I will be receiving cooperation from Merita is a physical examination.”

“Physical examination..?”

“Yes. I would like to add that you will need to take off all your clothes for the physical examination.”

“!”

Merita, who finally understood Minwoo’s words, blushed and shouted loudly.

“Oh, this is so vulgar..!”

“So, Merita, you must never do this. You wouldn’t want to expose your naked body in a place like this with so many people watching, would you?”

“Ugh..!”

Merita’s whole body trembled as if she was humiliated by Minwoo’s words alone. She shouted, pointing her wooden sword at Minwoo.

“I will never forgive you!”

Despite Merita’s angry cries, Minwoo’s attitude was only relaxed. Before he knew it, he looked at the crowd surrounding him and whistled. They will get to see something precious today thanks to them.

Maryta shouted excitedly, not knowing that she would soon be humiliated.

“Senior Agnes! Please be the judge.”

“Merita..!”

Agnes is conflicted. Merita has no idea how scared Minwoo is. If she leaves it like this, she will most likely be humiliated. Looking at Minwoo’s appearance, she seemed to have no intention of treating him like she did this time. That guy really did it if he said it.

‘I’m sorry, Merita…’

But in the end, Agnes was unable to stop Merita. No, she didn’t stop him on purpose.

‘I want to see his skills, his, his… Through the eyes of a third party.’

Agnes has not yet accurately grasped Minwoo’s power. Agnes wanted to check again how such a thing was possible in such a seemingly sloppy posture.

‘All I have to do is stop Merita before she is embarrassed.’

With that in mind, Agnes tolerated this duel.

“Then… You two get ready… “

“…”

Minwoo took out a light stick from his chest. There was still a smile on his lips.

Agnes looked closely at his light stick, bit his lip, and shouted.

“Start!”
