Chapter 286: Departure Of The Patriotism Train (2)
Baek Seol-hee was a hero, but she was also currently a professor at the Academy.
The Academy’s undergraduate students were on summer break, and without a seasonal semester, she had three options for her break.
One was to act as a hero.
She had spent about 15 weeks focusing on nurturing the next generation at the Academy, so until the second semester started, one of her activities was to work as a hero in Busan.
Another option was to teach at the Academy’s middle and high school levels.
Although she had taught adults well, there were many middle and high school students who also wanted her teachings.
From the perspective of using Baek Seol-hee’s time, which was monopolized by university students, for middle and high school students, the middle and high schools wanted her to be a special lecturer.
The last option was to enjoy the break as the undergraduates do, literally to ‘enjoy’ the vacation.
Besides personal research, she could enjoy her time until the start of the second semester at the Academy.
As a hero, she could always step up and use her abilities, so she could freely do things she couldn’t do during her 15 weeks as a professor.
There were various things to do.
She could binge-watch movies or dramas that she missed in the first and second quarters.
Or, she could dedicate herself to serving the country in other ways.
Or, she could be patriotic.
As she prepared for the undergraduates’ final exams, she eagerly awaited the vacation.
Having already declared her intentions to the government, Baek Seol-hee was very happy to spend about 2.5 months of summer until the second semester started on September 1st with someone.
However, she received news that was like a bolt from the blue.
“Professor Baek Seol-hee. Please take care of the summer semester.”
She was given a task that was not really a task.
“A summer semester? Are you telling me to create and run additional classes?”
“That’s correct.”
Baek Seol-hee, who had been called separately to the Director’s office, couldn’t believe the contents of the documents handed over by the Director sitting in front of her.
“Are you saying that only selected students from the Academy will undergo special training? Did I hear that right?”
“You understood correctly, Professor Baek Seol-hee.”
“...Who are the selected students?”
“We will have to look at each one from now on. Haha.”
The Director laughed heartily.
“Vacation doesn’t just mean a period of rest. ‘Vacation’ literally means ‘putting down academics,’ but that’s only when you’re away from the field of learning. The cultivation of academics must continue, and those with abilities need to further cultivate their abilities.”
“...Are you saying this special training will take place on Jeju Island?”
“That’s correct. As a senior hero, we hope you will teach the juniors how to use their abilities more intensively.”
“Sigh.”
A sigh escaped her unconsciously.
Having already expressed her displeasure, Baek Seol-hee started showing her outright dislike without hiding it.
“Did you hear anything from the President?”
“The President?”
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry, but I haven’t heard anything about Professor Baek Seol-hee yet.”
The School Director was startled at the mention of the country’s President but could only be embarrassed.
“Is it absolutely necessary for me to go?”
“We have sent a cooperation request document to the government and the Hero Association. Without Professor Baek Seol-hee, this summer semester’s special classes will be in vain.”
“Will that really happen just because I’m not there?”
“Yes.”
“.......”
The Director’s eyes burned with passion.
“Help us make it so that not only the quarterfinals but also the round of 16 and the round of 32 are filled with the Korean flag fluttering.”
“.......”
Baek Seol-hee quietly closed her eyes.
...
...
And then.
Flash.
She opened her eyes.
When she opened her eyes, a familiar man and woman were clinging to the bed together.
“Oh, you’re here?”
“Welcome, unnie.”
The two greeted her nonchalantly, but Baek Seol-hee immediately controlled her doppelganger to pull the blanket covering them.
“Wow.”
Baek Seol-hee immediately felt annoyed.
“While someone suddenly got annoyed, you two were patriotically cozy?”
“Want to join?”
“Should we move aside?”
“.......”
Baek Seol-hee felt a moment of irritation at Do Ji-hwan’s suggestion but soon felt better.
“I’m meeting with the School Director. I’ll finish talking with him soon and come here.”
“Should I come pick you up?”
“I’ll text you when I arrive, so come to my room. I’m in the Director’s office now.”
“Did the Director say something upsetting?”
“He wants me to create a summer semester special training camp in Jeju Island for A-class and B-class heroes.”
Baek Seol-hee explained the situation through her doppelganger.
The two listened seriously to Baek Seol-hee’s words, deep in thought.
“Unni.”
“Yes, Mir.”
“How about living on Jeju Island for a month, matching the camp schedule?”
“......Will you come?”
“It seems like you can’t avoid it now. Teacher, what do you think?”
“Ulleungdo is better than Jeju Island, but... it can’t be helped.”
Do Ji-hwan shook his smartphone towards Baek Seol-hee.
“I’ll find a place to stay in Jeju Island for a month, so just agree for now. And we’ll discuss it in detail when you get back.”
“...Okay.”
Baek Seol-hee closed her eyes again.
And then, back to the Director’s office.
“Professor Baek Seol-hee...?”
“Fine. But, I have conditions.”
Baek Seol-hee flicked the paper with her finger.
“If I do this, I’ll take a leave of absence for the second semester.”
