The Academy Heroines Remember My Death

Chapter 16: Yu Ha-eun (2)

Yu Ha-eun (2)

Everyone has had this phase at some point in their childhood.

Admiring someone so much that you wanted to follow in their footsteps.

In Ha-euns case, her subject for admiration was a fairytale dragon.

No, let me rephrase it.

Her subject wasnt just any old dragon.

There was a certain dragon that Ha-eun admired and wanted to emulate.

In fact, Ha-eun still reads that fairytale aloud every day.

ROAAAR! The Flame Dragon, the mightiest of all dragons, roared! The Flame Dragon was the strongest among the dragons! So strong that it could defeat any demon or devil Its so cool!

Ha-eun didnt feel any embarrassment at all.

Rather, she admired the fairytale from the bottom of her heart.

And Ha-euns thoughts grew more and more,

I want to become a dragon too!

To the point where she, herself, wanted to become a dragon.

She even scoured the internet to find a cool dragon name for herself.

The word Dark sounds so cool!

After a lot of deliberation, she found the word Dark and decided to stick with it.

Of course, the meaning of the word was important, but she just needed it to sound cool,

And she liked the word Dark more than anything else.

This was how she ended up combining that world with her subject of admiration to come up with her true name, her dragon name that is.

Henceforth, my true name shall be Dark Flame Dragon!

Dark Flame Dragon.

It sounded badass,

It was a name that gave one the impression of a secretive presence that acted from within the shadows.

It was really to Ha-euns liking.

Just your typical chunni mentality.

But surprisingly,

This edgy mentality of Ha-eun caused her to grow exponentially.

Because dragons were the greatest creatures on Earth.

An extremely one-dimensional way of thinking that since she had the name of the strongest being on the face of the Earth, she needed to become as strong as possible in order to be worthy of such a title.

This mentality pushed her to be stronger than anyone else her age.

On top of her desire to grow, she had natural talent.

Those two combined to create her growth,

It was hard to believe that she was just a student that hadnt even entered the academy yet.

She felt regret about the fact that she hadnt become the strongest being on Earth yet, but it was only a matter of time.

If she continued to grow the way she had done so far, it would actually be possible.

That is the birth of a hunter unlike any other, a hunter who bore the name Dark Flame Dragon.

Time passed, and on the day of the academy entrance exam.

She met a person that she could only describe as her heaven-sent rival.

Because

-Clang

Just before the entrance exam began, a man bursted through the door with a thunderous noise.

He forcefully entered and brought two other men with him.

Hyungnim! We have arrived! We pray that you pass the entrance exam!

Sir Si-woo! If theres anything you need, please feel free to call us! We will take care of it right away!

The two men who came with him bowed down at him at 90 degrees.

To any other ordinary person, he would just have looked like an attention whore or a punk.

Butt to Ha-eun,

SO COOL!

Through her white-as-snow innocence, all she could think of was how cool it looked.

She didnt know who he was or what was happening, she simply felt that it was all so cool.

That single emotion dominated her.

And the trigger for that emotion exploded during the first exam.

Please place your hand on the magic ball. Although it wont break easily even, if a 5th Stage Awakener attacked it seriously, its still expensive so please handle it with care.

The lady instructed her to place her hand on the magic orb.

Ha-eun followed her words and placed her hand on the orb.

Of course,

Fufu I shall try to make sure the power of the rampaging dragon within me doesnt break this If I break this, everyone might become afraid of my very existence!

She didnt forget to say something dignified to make herself look like a dragon.

Wow so pretty.

After saying that to the lady, she looked at the magic orb,

And what came into her eyes was an iridescent ball.

To a regular person, this should be invisible.

The flow of mana that could only be seen through special artifacts such as the Eye of Greed.

Although it wasnt as clear as if she had seen it through an artifact,

She could still faintly see this flow.

Natural talent; that was the only explanation for such a situation.

Its so pure.

That was the way the magic orb looked in her eyes.

As if it were showing off its untainted purity,

It was emitting a radiant glow.

And not long after she was immersed in its beauty,

[A-Class]

She now knew her class.

It was clearly a high ranking.

However,

It didnt break.

She had expected to be able to show off the strength of a dragon by breaking the ball, but it didnt even budge.

Of course, getting A-class was amazing enough,

But it was quite disappointing for Ha-eun, who wanted to show off her strength as the Dark Flame Dragon.

And then,

-Crack

A man named Si-woo shattered it in an instant.

Wow!

Envy? No, she was far too innocent to feel such an emotion.

What was going through her head was

Dragons are strong! And that guy is strong too, so maybe hes a dragon?

She came to the conclusion that a dragon, something she deeply admired, was right before her eyes.

Then what should she do? She should go and talk to him.

He seems to be acquainted with the girl named Seo-ah, who for some reason kept on asking him if he knew her.

Ha-eun thought it would be best to approach the woman first.

After all, it was a bit embarrassing to face the dragon she admired directly.

So her choice was to give the girl named Seo-ah a true name.

This was a choice that would help Ha-eun get closer to the girl named Seo-ah.

After all, she thought that if Seo-ah got a cool name like Dark Flame Dragon, she would like it, right?

Unfortunately, Seo-ah didnt accept, it seemed she was embarrassed

But it was fine.

As the arguing continued, the man she was waiting for, Si-woo, had arrived.

Oh! My sworn rival! I have been waiting for you!

Though a bit nervous, she didnt show it off.

She was a being with a dragon name, Dark Flame Dragon.

She couldnt show she was scared or panicking.

Well, she had already made up her mind when she first saw Si-woo butt

Youre going to decide what we bet on?

Fufu, yes! I will decide what we Eh?

After a short conversation, she couldnt hide her panic.

Even if she didnt want to panic, she couldnt help it.

Because that man had read her mind.

It was as if he knew her.

N-No way!

She thought he was just a dragon like her, but the thought of the man being able to read her mind ran rampant in her head.

She tried her best to manage her facial expressions,

But it would be stranger for her to not to be panicking at the mans behavior, which went beyond common sense.

Still,

I want to win!

If she defeated that dragon, wouldnt this show how strong Ha-eun actually was?

Also, if she somehow defeated him, wouldnt that man start admiring her?

She would defeat him, even if it meant using villainous means that befitted her name of Dark Flame Dragon.

So? What are we going to bet on?

As she was thinking this,

Si-woo asked her to choose what their wager would be.

She, of course, thought that a duel would be best,

But she was also aware that she couldnt fight him here and now.

That was why she chose

W-We will flip a coin! If it lands on tails, I win, if it lands on heads, you win!

It was as simple as it gets, a coin toss.

She suggested that they choose a victor by flipping a coin.

Of course, she didnt intend to rely on sheer luck.

She had a telekinetic skill.

She planned to use this skill to defeat the man in front of her, Si-woo.

Since the word Dark was part of her name, she had to act like a villain.

Ha-eun was already completely excited at the thought of taking advantage of her wickedness to defeat him.

However,

Pfft.

This was all without realizing the mans gaze, looking at her as if he knew everything.
