Heero Academy - Part 4

When Heero and the group arrived, Kang Seo-Yeon was sitting, dipping a piece of meat into the boiling pot. She immediately put the meat in her mouth and gestured for Heero and the others to sit down.

"Pwease..."

"Finish the meat in your mouth first, sister! If mum knows, she will scold you for sure!" Myung Hee lectured her older sister from Kang Seo-Yeon's lap. Kang Seo-Yeon rubbed her sister's hair and swallowed the meat.

"Please sit down, we can talk while we eat!" Kang Seo-Yeon repeated her gesture to the opposite seat. It was directed at Heero's party, then she turned to Yu Bin.

"Mr Yu, can you wait for us downstairs?"

Yu Bin immediately nodded his head and left the room.

After saying that, she took a piece of meat and dipped it back into the boiling pot, "I've ordered for you as well..."

Hong Yu and Han Ying responded with a nod, while Shen Miao took the chopsticks as quickly as she could and started eating. Only Heero had a different reaction, he looked at Kang Seo-Yeon with a strange look.

The incident a few days ago was still fresh in his mind, but he found that Kang Seo-Yeon acted as if nothing had happened. In fact, Heero felt quite uncomfortable inside, but he had no way to express it.

There was even a thought to cancel his plan: 'Should I look for another district?

Of course, Kang Seo-Yeon noticed that Heero was staring at her. A slight blush appeared on her cheeks, but she remained calm and opened the topic with a big smile, "I was so happy when I got the call!"

"You surprised me too. I never thought that you were the one who bought the district!" Hong Yu replied in a surprised tone while Han Ying nodded.

"Huhu... I bought the district so that I can live with my little sister and brother. But first, I want to renovate the district". I heard from Mr Yu that you want to buy the district. Are you going to expand Xing District? Kang Seo-Yeon asked back.

Kang Seo-Yeon's answer left Hong Yu and Han Ying speechless. Then why did you buy the whole district, you can just buy one building. As expected from someone from a big family! Both sisters had the same thought when they heard the reason.

"Ah, we are not going to expand the district. We will build an academy in the new district!" Hong Yu replied as she dipped the meat on her chopstick into the boiling pot and continued, "So, can we buy the district back from you? We want the district so that we can connect our half-finished preschool to the academy district!"

"Academy?" It was Kang Seo-Yeon's turn to look surprised.

"Yes, a preschool and a martial arts academy, I'm the one in charge of the preschool and he's in charge of the martial arts academy!" Hong Yu explained, pointing her thumb at her husband.

"What? Martial House?" The shock continued, this time it was pleasantly shocking. Her eyes brightened at the knowledge, then she fell into silence.

Just as Hong Yu was about to ask about the district, Kang Seo-Yeon opened her mouth first: "An academy just for a preschool and a martial arts school? But an academy is supposed to provide a complete education. A preschool is not necessary, but you should at least have a primary school and an advanced school!"

"But Hirata never said that we have to have the elementary and advanced school for the academy..." Hong Yu did not know that there was a condition for founding an academy. Not only she but also Han Ying and Heero did not know about it.

"Hirata?" Kang Seo-Yeon found the name somewhat familiar. She repeated it once more, making sure that the name in Hong Yu's mouth was the same as someone in her head: "Musashi Hirata?"

"Oh, do you know him? He is the second disciple of my husband!" Hong Yu replied without much thought.

"Y-Yo-Your husband's second disciple?" Kang Seo-Yeon blurted out in surprise while her inner thoughts screamed, "That's impossible, right?

"Yes, he's the one who took care of the approval. He didn't say anything about the primary and secondary school!" Han Ying confirmed with a nod.

"If it's him, it's possible..." Kang Seo-Yeon muttered in a low voice, then looked at the two sisters and asked, "You two don't know him?"

Hong Yu and Han Ying looked at each other and shook their heads. They had never bothered to look into Musashi Hirata's past. The only thing they knew was that Hirata was Heero's pupil.

"Er... Never mind then... You want to found an academy, right? How about this, let me join your academy as a shareholder, and then you get the district for free? How about it?" Kang Seo-Yeon finally said what was on her mind.

Hong Yu and Han Ying immediately looked at Heero. This was completely different from buying the district, it was up to Heero to decide. Heero also knew that it was his time to speak, but he did not immediately agree or disagree with Kang Seo-Yeon.

"Why? Why do you want to be part of our academy? Or is it because of your family?" Heero asked Kang Seo-Yeon. It was strange that someone from the core region was interested in an academy in the outer region.

Huhu, so it's true that he doesn't like to deal with people from the core region...

"No, it's for my little brother. I am doing this for my little brother. If you set up an academy, my little brother will be part of your academy, right? I am investing because of my little brother. Besides, based on our conversation earlier, you do not seem ready to start an academy.

"I will help you with the administration, and I can use my connection to establish the primary school and the preparatory school. I don't want the academy to be closed just because it doesn't meet the requirements!"

"If you don't believe me, we can sign a contract that the share is in my name, not my family's! You can also add more conditions to the contract," Kang Seo-Yeon tried to convince Heero.

Besides, I will be your wife, and later on, my shares will be yours too! Of course, she did not say it out loud. For now, these words could only remain in her heart.

Hong Yu and Han Ying nodded their heads but said nothing. It was for Heero to decide, not them.

"Oh, actually we need someone like her... I am a teacher and I am not good with the academy management!" Hong Yu whispered to Heero in a low voice.

"Besides, we don't have to worry about her being bribed, she had her own share here. Add to that the fact that her little brother is a member of your martial arts house, she will work for our academy with all her heart!" Hong Yu added.

As she said, neither she nor Heero had any experience in running an organization. It was completely different from managing a district where you only rented out the building.

Besides, she had read a lot about a small part of the Martial House on the forum this morning. In addition to the competition post, there was also a post about the management being bribed by the other martial houses to poach the members, and so on.

There were so many cases about the shady business behind the Martial House. Even if not all of them were true, it still scared her, even if only half of them were true. Getting someone like Kang Seo-Yeon into the academy was crucial to avoiding what she was afraid of.

But all this was just her worry, she left everything to her husband. Heero also found out that Kang Seo-Yeon's offer was hard to refuse. He never thought about the management.

First and foremost, he wanted to found a martial arts school, not an academy. What he had in mind was to train a few more students to protect his district from danger, especially when he was away from the district.

He never thought about management or anything else. He thought about accepting the offer, but the confession made him feel uncomfortable.

Heero looked at Kang Seo-Yeon for the last time. There was an eagerness in Kang Seo-Yeon's eyes.

"Good, you will work at the academy under an agreement that we will discuss later in the form of a contract!" Heero agreed to the idea of letting Kang Seo-Yeon take care of the academy's management.

"But Miss Kang, what about your job as a hero? You're a high-ranking hero, won't you be busy with the mission?"

"Don't worry, I can take a month's leave and set up the management system. We are talking about an academy, so we need to recruit more people to run the academy! After the management system is set up, I can do both properly, don't worry!

A broad smile formed on her lips as she extended her hand for a handshake, indicating the agreement between them.

Hehe... the first step is done! Just you wait, I will conquer the women, and then I will conquer you for the last step!

Heero was oblivious to Kang Seo-Yeon's thoughts as he shook her hand. With the handshake, Kang Seo-Yeon officially became a part of the Heero Academy.

After everything was agreed, Kang Seo-Yeon and Heero signed the contract the same day. The next day, Kang Seo-Yeon started her work. The first thing she did was to turn the district into an academy.

She called an architect she knew from the core region and used the people Heero recommended to do the job. After that, Kang Seo-Yeon wanted to start recruiting the staff for the academy.

However, she did not do so right away as she prioritised getting a private secretary. Actually, she could hire people from her family, but in order not to arouse Heero's suspicions, Kang Seo-Yeon decided not to use her family.

Heero helped her. He posted the recruitment on the Xing District forum, which had over thirty million followers. Of course, Kang Seo-Yeon had strict requirements and in just one day, Kang Seo-Yeon got the person she wanted after a strict selection.

Holding a piece of paper with the resume of her secretary candidate, Kang Seo Yeon made a strange face. She looked at the name, then at the person sitting in front of her. To make sure she was not mistaken, Kang Seo-Yeon blinked her eyes a few times.

"I thought it was just the same name, but it's the real one. What are you doing here, Sister Xin Yue?" Kang Seo-Yeon was confused. Bai Xin Yue, the Gold Class Hero - Rank 2, applied to be her private secretary.
