Chapter 34 – 34. Men Become Friends by Fighting (5)
I shook my head at Yeonhwa’s suggestion.
“I guess that’s impossible.”
“Oh my? Why?”
“It is difficult for you to prove your satisfactory strength by sparring with Atsuval. Strictly speaking, the sparring was intended to attract Atsuval to the group.”
“That means…”
Yeonhwa asked me with a mischievous smile.
“Are you saying it’s a hospitality sparring?”
“No, it’s not that bad. But it’s only at the level of a good sweat. And at that level… I don’t think it’s a level you can accept.”
“Hmm, then what are you going to do?”
“After the sparring, it would be nice if you could give me some time. I will prove it then.”
“I understand.”
Yeonhwa nodded, understanding what I said.
“Then, I look forward to the time when it is truly proven… I will enjoy watching the sparring between Mr. Sheehan and Mr. Zenedick tomorrow.”
“I hope you enjoy it.”
I was thirsty because I kept talking while praising Yeonhwa, so I drank the rest of the green tea in one go.
It cooled down just enough while I was talking so it was easy to swallow.
“Excuse me.”
There was nothing more to talk about with Yeonhwa, and there was still some time before Pamela’s class ended, so I decided to take a look at the academy.
At that time.
“Wait a minute, Mr. Sheehan.”
Yeonhwa called me.
“What is it?”
“Hmm! Now that we’ve met after a long time, wouldn’t it be okay to talk more? It’s still a long way off before lunch, right?
“What do we want to talk about more?
“That’s right. For example~.”
Yeonhwa glanced at me while repeatedly squeezing and unfolding the tips of both her fingers in contact.
“Something about my beauty?”
Aha.
You want to receive more praise.
“I guess I’ve already given you all the compliments I need to give you, right?”
“Isn’t it important to repeat the obvious? Especially since Mr. Sihan has a good way of speaking… No, does he have a good voice? Even if he says the same thing, it will be repeated better.”〈 Br〉
It sounds plausible, but what Yeonhwa is talking about is not a strategy or recovery from battle, but hearing praise again.
“Hmm, but doesn’t repeat the same thing lower its value?”
“No matter how many times I mention my beauty and charm, it doesn’t matter! Ohhohohoho!”
“I don’t really want to do it.”
“Oh my. Why?”
“For now, it would be better if I speak in a more developed form. But it is difficult for me to mention more about my attraction to you. It’s not just an attraction that I can recognize after seeing you a few times… You have to be in the same group and spend time together, not just your beauty. I could mention your various beauties.”
“Ohhohohoho! Sihan too! Even if you say that, I have no intention of joining the group right now! But just a little! Just a little! I’m intrigued! Sihan is quite handsome too!”
Although I was saying this, Yeonhwa’s eyes were shining brightly while I was speaking.
Well, since we have a lot of time left anyway, let’s talk about Yeonhwa’s likeability her her for a moment.
As lunch time approached, he changed his expression slightly and praised Yeonhwa’s beauty.
[Piece through praise tolerance]
“Uuuuut~! This is so good! Ohhohohoho!”
The whole time Yeonhwa heard her praise her, she laughed out loud and her smile her her her never left her face her her her.

“Huh… Huh. Huh…”
“Thank you for your hard work today, Pamela.”
“Yes…”
After meeting Pamela, we had a meal together and, for the first time in a while, we did some physical training together at the gym inside the academy.
When Pamela bought her gym clothes, I matched them too, so I ran next to her.
The gym was quite large, and besides us, other cadets were training by using their own exercise equipment or running like us.
Of course, since each person trained independently, there was no interference with each other.
“I can now run much longer than before.” Let’s increase our stamina step by step like this.”
“Yes… Shi, Mr. Sihan… ! Water… ! Please give me water… !”
“Okay.”
“You’re working hard.”
The moment I handed the canteen to Pamela, the Delt I had seen during the entrance exam approached us.
“Hello, Professor Delt.”
“Oh, hehe! Hello… Yo!”
“You should drink water first.”
“Gulp!”
Seeing us, Delt rubbed his chin and raised the corners of his mouth.
“As a witch, you need physical training… Who came up with this?”
“I am.”
“Yeah. I thought so.”
Delt crossed his arms and continued speaking.
“Even if you mainly use magic, you always need physical strength. There are many cases where you say you are not a warrior and do not train your physical strength at all, but when you move to a slightly difficult area, your physical strength quickly drops and it becomes a problem in battle.”
It seems like it’s an experience, since he speaks with a nuance that feels like it was me.
“It seems like an experience.”
“I started out as an adventurer and was specifically hired as a professor at the academy. Ha, it was a real pain back then. You’re much better than me, who neglected wizards when you were young.”
“Thank you. Pamela will be in the same group in the future. So, for her sake, I decided to improve her stamina.”
“Group… Ah, I heard about it from Roderick. Study group? You said you were creating something like that, right?”
“Yes.”
“But you need at least three people to make a group.”
“I know. That’s why we’re recruiting members right now.”
“It won’t be easy. I heard you were pretty hated from the first class?”
“If you show your skills, a little hate doesn’t matter. Rather, it’s just a good way to draw attention to me.”
“Hmm?”
Delt, who had a puzzled expression on his face, immediately smiled.
“Ah~ So that’s it. You’re acting different from what you look like?”
“It is the wisdom of life.”
“He, he, he…”
After drinking all the water and catching her breath, Pamela asked Delt.
“Why did Professor Delt come here?”
“I also came to train. I don’t want to neglect training and get overtaken by the cadet I’m teaching. Haha!”
Although he acted solemn during the entrance exam, Delt has a lively personality and smiles easily.
“I hope you train hard. Let’s go, Pamela.”
“Yes, yes!”
As I was about to walk towards the shower room with Pamela, Delt stopped me.
“Lee Si-han.”
“Yes.”
“I heard you decided to spar with Atsuval Genedic tomorrow, right?”
“Yes.”
“Practical sparring classes are my responsibility. I expect you to show good sparring skills.”
I didn’t pay attention to the professor’s name in the class list, but I think Delt was the professor for the practical sparring class.
“I understand.”

Luong Street in Lucedia.
Shu Yeon-hwa entered the Shu family’s villa on Luong Street in a very refreshed mood.
‘Really! Today was a good day!’
“Gyeonghu!”
“Are you back, Lady Yeonhwa?”
At the sound of Shu Yeon-hwa’s voice, a woman wearing a Chinese-style suit approached her.
It was Lord Gyeong-hu who took care of her in her, her her Shu her clan her, and at the same time appointed the management of her villa her.
“Do you still have the application for membership in the Flame Dragon Club?”
“Yes, I plan to submit it today.”
“Please keep the membership application form.”
“Lady Yeonhwa? What do you mean?”
“I made a promise. I promised to join a group other than the Flame Dragon Association, depending on the conditions.”
“What is that… !”
Gyeong-hu was shocked and couldn’t understand what Shu Yeon-hwa was saying.
“Lady Yeonhwa, the Flame Dragon Club is a must-visit place for Luong’s prestigious families. There are also descendants of the Xing family, Tuo family, and Shen family.”
The Shu family has a large presence in Luong.
But the same goes for other prestigious families.
In order to compete with other families, read the intentions of other families, and maintain cooperative connections when necessary, it was common sense for a successor from the prestigious Luong family to join the Flame Dragon Society.
“But you’re not joining the Flame Dragon Club! What kind of group is this… !”
“It’s a group that hasn’t been established yet.”
“Yes!?”
“That’s why I put a condition on it. I’m not just saying I won’t join the Flame Dragon Club. Sir, you know, right?”
“Yes. This time, Lady Yeonhwa is coming to express her gratitude for exterminating the Belkendan… Is it really possible that he tricked Lady Yeonhwa into forming a group? … I will go and scold her right away!”
“Gyeonghu! Don’t do anything hasty.”
“Ha, but Lady Yeonhwa…”
“How many times do I have to tell you? I’m not just going in either. I just promised Mr. Sihan that I would go in if I proved that I wanted to go in.”
“Is it proof? What on earth…”
“Well? I don’t know. I wonder what kind of proof they will show. However, since I plan to see the proof tomorrow, I decided to put off applying to join the Flame Dragon Society for a while.”
“Ah…”
King Gyeong-hu was relieved to hear Shu Yeon-hwa’s words.
‘Lady Yeonhwa is trying to save her her her her benefactor her’s her face her her.’
Lee Si-han saw the beautiful Lady Yeonhwa and asked her to come in because he was going to form a group. -〉 If Lady Yeonhwa refuses right away when she goes to express her gratitude, it will ruin the benefactor’s face her. -〉 So even if she said no, she gave her a day’s grace and put it on hold.
King Gyeong-hu organized the situation in his own way.
‘Ah, you are merciful, Lady Yeonhwa.’
“Okay. Then I’ll wait until Lady Yeonhwa tells me to pay again.”
“Please do that. By the way, Sir.”
“Yes, Lady Yeonhwa.”
“How beautiful am I?”
“Of course!”
Gyeonghu spoke with sincerity.
“She is more beautiful than anyone else. Hair brighter than the buds of the sky, eyes that sparkle like jewels, and skin like silk! Lady Yeonhwa, who has all of these things, is the ultimate beauty.”
“Ohhohohoho! That’s obvious!”
“Yes. It goes without saying that Lady Yeonhwa is beautiful.”
“I’ll just go in now. Please keep working hard, Sir.”
“Rest in peace, Lady Yeonhwa.”
Shu Yeon-hwa, who went into her own room and was alone, placed her index finger on her chin and tilted her head.
“As expected, the praise Shihan gave was more… A good feeling. Why is that?”
Shu Yeon-hwa recalled how she felt when she heard Si-han compliment her.
Joy that fills my heart.
It was like the head of the Shu family for the first time when I was young.
It was similar to the joy and pride felt when Shu Yeon-hwa was first praised by her father.
And such joy struck Shu Yeon-hwa’s heart her continuously without even the slightest wear and tear.
Just thinking back on it like this now.
“Uuuuu~!”
Shu Yeon-hwa was able to save her joy as she stamped her feet, clenched her fists and briefly rocked her up and down, closing her eyes tightly and the corners of her mouth her curling up in such joy.
“Ah, it’s difficult. It’s really difficult.”
Shu Yeon-hwa covered her own flushed face with her overflowing joy.
“How long has it been since I thought I wanted something like this? If Mr. Sihan can’t convince me… Hehe, I guess I’ll have to offer this time to have him become my guard.”
Shu Yeon-hwa thought of a plan in case Lee Si-han’s proposal failed, and then she immediately jumped onto the bed in her room.
And.
“Uuuuu~!”
She twisted and stretched her body to her her heart’s content her on the bed, and moved her arms and legs wildly, savoring her joy as she recalled the compliments that Sihan Lee had given her today.
