Chapter 57 – Can I Ask You One Question?

Maybe it’s time to reveal everything.
If you think about why the Guardian Academy is classified as a male academy and a female academy, it is.

It is also unacceptable for me to lay a knife on Kim Joo-won.
It might delay the debut of our precious female guardians by more than a year.
What he did to me.

“That…”

Especially if the target is Seo-Hara Lee’s special ability that I don’t even know if it can be replaced in the future.
It could be treated as a felony almost as murdering a fellow Guardian.

“Sorry.”

The instructor probably knew right away what had happened between me and Kim Joo-won.
The situation in the room was so clear.

I, the woman, knelt in front of the bed in her naked body.
And Kim Joo-won, who was wearing her clothes, but was spurting blood with a knife stuck in her stomach.

“I can’t really tell.”

The last blood that was splattered on my hands and face.

“Oh, I really want to say this, but I can’t come out.”
“If it’s hard to talk about, you don’t have to.”

In fact, the victim was clearly me.
If only Kim Joo-won hadn’t called me and raped me.
I wouldn’t have stabbed him with a knife.

“I’m not a woman, so I can’t understand your feelings right now.”

In the middle of the night, a student who has not yet debuted as a guardian stabs her fellow student.
There would have been no case of a student stabbed by a major incident being carried to the medical team.

“I know you’ve been through a lot in the past.”

But, I can’t be here anymore.
Because female students have to go to Honghwa Academy, not Cheonghwa Academy, which is a male academy.

“I’m sorry.”

I am the victim
Why did I end up in such a situation that I had to be kicked out?

“No, you’re not sorry.”

Just from the beginning, don’t say that you’ll stick next to the main character, the regressor.
When Lee Seo-ha found out that she had become a woman, she should have followed the natural path and went to Hong-hwa.
But if she goes to Honghwa, she will surely die.
How could you make such a choice?

“But…”

The instructor glanced up and down at me dressed as a man.
If I hadn’t suspected that I was a woman, Lee Seo-ha’s appearance would be just a rather pretty man.

“You know that, right? Girls should go to Honghwa Academy.”
“Yes.”
“When you entered, your computer gender was male, so it seems you came to Cheonghwa Academy, but if it is corrected, you will be female.”
“No!”

However, fate seemed to not give me the time to cry out of resentment.
At the word Honghwa that came out of the instructor’s mouth.
The resentment was about to settle, but I suddenly came to my senses.

“Safflower is not allowed.”

After saying that, he said “Ah” And quietly pulled her body back.
How surprised
Unbeknownst to me, I was already leaning toward the instructor.

“But, you are a woman now.”
“Yeah, that’s the case…”
“Even when I didn’t know you were a woman, I thought you were just a student with a very good appearance and could have performed well in a mission that required beauty.”

The instructor’s words paused for a moment.
…Maybe I’m thinking about my naked body that I saw earlier.
After clearing his throat, he continued talking.

“Now that I know you’re a woman, maybe…”

If you know that you are a woman.
No matter how much she dresses as a man, Lee Seo-ha just looks like a woman.
Of course, most of them will admire that he is momentarily confused with a man.
Only that’s all

“Instructor, how can there be no way?”
“Rather, I want to ask more. Why do you insist on attending Cheonghwa Academy?”
“I mean, I was originally a man.”
“What?”
“Isn’t there something strange about Instructor? She’s obviously a woman who’s giving permission, but why is she supposed to be a man according to the computer?”

Has she been stabbed in the face?
Or did she just come to realize that obvious thought?

In fact, the instructor probably didn’t have time to think about why Seoha Lee’s gender was male according to the computer.
Until he found out the secret, he would have only known me as a man for granted.
Even the moment they found out the secret, they said it was Kim Joo-won’s slander.
It was after something more serious happened.

“I was originally a man, Instructor.”
“What?”
“It’s hard to believe, but it’s real.”

As if surprised by my words, the instructor opened his eyes wide for a moment.
I hope you don’t think so.
He’s a psychopath who thinks he used to be a man.

Fortunately, the instructor’s eyes didn’t think so.

“Well, my ID right now is definitely a boy’s, and I came out of school as a boy.”
“…”
“I don’t know why I became a woman, but I was really a man.

I’m a woman now
In a groaning voice.
When I added the words that I had no choice but to admit, the instructor let out a small sigh.

“Although it could be a side effect of awakening ability.”
“Yes…”
“Then you should have reported it. Why did you come here as a man without reporting it?”

Then he asked me a question that I couldn’t answer.
I know the future, but not because I can see it.
It’s a fact I know because I’m the possessor who wrote the original work.
And in fact.

“I don’t know either.”
“What do you mean?”

Honghwa Academy is about the end of this year.
It also includes being completely destroyed due to the encroachment of the hidden world that was not yet discovered.

“I don’t really remember.”
“Seoha, believe me when you say that now-.”

The instructor glared at me for a moment as if he couldn’t believe my words and tried to speak.
Did you think it was because my mental state was not intact right now?
He paused and let out another sigh.

“…Really.”
“Where do you remember?”
“From one month before entering the academy.”

Point entry.
Is the instructor listening to me getting a headache from the series of nonsensical stories?
The expression on the instructor’s face, who had been listening to me seriously until now, started to look a bit pensive.

I know that most of what I’ve said so far is nonsense.
I’m avoiding the really important questions, and I’m just saying what’s comfortable for me.

But it’s really something I can’t say.
Even if it was a man.
The pubic hair that I hid deep inside me.
It felt like I was seen in front of the opposite sex with all of my body as a woman naked.

So no way
I couldn’t put into words what happened to Kim Joo-won.
I think I might have to put everything down.
I wasn’t ready for that yet.

“Ha, it’s Seoha.”
“But I’m not really kidding.”

As the instructor’s expression became more pensive, my heart began to feel frustrated as well.
But for me now.
To avoid going to Tsinghua Academy.

“Instructor, I really…”

Clinging to this person.
It was all I could do now.

I’ve never had a conversation with him, and I don’t even know his face.
More than Lee Seo-ha’s unknown family.
He who knew who was in front of me and listened to my story even if it didn’t make sense like this, was shining like the only rope in my eyes right now.

“Instructor!”

However, even so, the atmosphere that became rigid was unavoidable.
The moment when I gradually became restless and my body could not stay still.
Yoon Si-hoo’s voice came from the front door of the medical building.

“Ah, Sihoo student.”
“Kim Joo-won’s surgery is over!”
“Okay?”

At his words, the instructor and I both stood up at the same time.
The fact that the operation is over must mean that he is still alive.

“Seoha!”

The moment I wake up, my legs lose strength and I slump down in my seat.
Surprised, Yoon Si-hoo quickly came to me and grabbed her arm.

“Ah, thank you.”
“Get some rest. Let’s go first.”
“No, I’m going too.”

Was the instructor worried about my condition?
It seemed like he couldn’t get up, but he made a move to let him sit on the bench.
Not listening to him, he asked Sihoo to support him.
I forced myself to get up and enter the medical ward.

“I’ll go with my abilities.”

We used dimension transfer to get the three of us into the building.

“Sit here.”

Let’s sit in the wheelchair Yoon Si-hoo brought us.
Pushing the wheelchair from behind, he began to follow the instructor, who followed the medical team.
Now, at the end of this medical team’s path

“Kim Joo-won…”

He must still be asleep under anesthesia.

“Seoha.”
“…Huh.”
“Is that guy okay?”
“I’m okay.”

Yoon Shi-hoo also saw the horrors in the room, so he must have guessed what happened between him and me.
No, I didn’t guess, I must have noticed what happened right away.

“Still, don’t worry.”
“Because I’m fine.”

The closer he gets, the more he sees my shaking hand.
He seemed to want to tell me that I should take a break first.
If I dragged my horse’s tail here, I thought it would only adversely affect my mental strength, so I deliberately cut off his words.

“Okay.”

Then, Yoon Si-hoo answered as if he had no choice, and then started on his way again.
He must have given up on my determined attitude.

“Ah, you’re here.”

At the end of the road that followed the nurse like that.
In the recovery room, Kim Joo-won was asleep on the bed, as if he had died.
And look at his face

‘Seoha, should I take it off?’

Maybe it’s because I remember the face of the guy who raped me.
My trembling hands were tightly clenched into fists, and I was looking at him with trembling eyes.
Seeing me like that, Yoon Si-hoo let out a small sigh.
I pretended not to hear.

“For now, life won’t be affected.”
“…Thank you.”

The doctor who operated on Kim Joo-won, still wearing scrubs.
As he said that to the instructor, he cast his gaze at me for a moment.
He must have seen my complexion take a turn for the worse when he saw him.

“However.”

However, seeing my current state, did I have something to say?
As if he had something else to say, his voice echoed in the recovery room as if he had some doubts.

“Can I ask you something?”
“You tell me.”

Don’t buy any misunderstanding.
Even though I know that I have to calm my trembling body.
Why doesn’t my body move the way I want it to?

“Can I hear the reason why the student was stabbed in the middle of the night?”
“Should we talk?”
“It’s because I have to write it on the school’s medical fact certificate.”

…Now my life of dressing up as a man will come to an end.
Thinking so, I slowly closed my eyes.

Now.
It must be my own preparation to listen to the words of the instructor who will decide my fate here.

“Whoa.”

The instructor let out a small sigh.
Are you even thinking about how to talk?

One second feels like an eternity.
After a while of waiting that would drive me crazy.

“Student Kim Joo-won.”

The instructor’s mouth slowly opened.
