174. First Request (1)
“Shin Se-hee, I have something to discuss for a moment.”
Since there were no classes during the school opening ceremony, I briefly organized future requests and immediately went to Shin Se-hee.
The place where Shin Se-hee works is a hideout near the academy.
It was the same building she had given me as a gift before.
“Ah? Yes, please come in.”
She looked at the documents lined up on the spacious desk, and put down her pen when I came in.
And behind her, Lee Min-young, a true confidant, was standing there with a stern expression, as if she had already become a complete confidant.
‘So, I heard you said that this person came in as an intern directly under Shin Se-hee?’
I completely forgot about Lee Min-young because she was on vacation and was with her party members.
As soon as school started, she immediately closed to Shin Se-hee, so it seems they were in close contact with each other even during the vacation period.
‘······The more I look at it, the more fascinating it becomes. They are complete opposites, so how on earth did they come together?’
As I stared at Lee Min-young in amazement for a moment, her face gradually began to turn bright red.
“Hmm! Jin Yuha, didn’t you come to see me?”
Shin Se-hee cleared his throat and attracted attention.
“Oh sorry. That’s right. “I have something I need to discuss with you for a moment.”
“Is it so? Umm, then can you please leave my seat for a moment?”
“Yes, I understand.”
When Shin Se-hee turned her head and spoke, Lee Min-young answered with her correct posture and left, closing the door.
“So, what brought you here?”
“Yes, now that the second semester has started, we can also fulfill the request.”

Then, Shin Se-hee nodded as if she understood what he was talking about.
“Ah yes. Although the Utopia Party was founded first, it has not received any special requests so far. So I only conquered open dungeons.”
Shin Se-hee said and took out a thick file from the stack of papers piled up next to her.
“We have already listed and organized the requests we can receive.”
I couldn’t help but be surprised as I flipped through the paper she handed me.
‘No······. ‘How long has it been since school started and you’ve already sorted all of this out?’
A document that summarizes the requests that the Utopia Party can currently receive in an easy-to-see table with a simple star rating system and evaluation.
In fact, it was organized much easier to view than the mission interface when it was a game.
‘Competent…!’
Shin Se-hee saw my surprised expression and smiled with satisfaction.
“First of all, what I personally recommend as the first request for our Utopia is a monster extermination request from the United States.”
“America?”
Velvet Hunter Academy lives up to its name as the world’s best academy and receives requests not only from Korea but also from all over the world.
Monsters and monsters appear in other countries, and rat-like demons are hiding regardless of nationality.
Of course, other countries also do not welcome being indebted to other countries, so they try to solve the problem with their own hunters as much as possible.
How did things go so smoothly in the world?
The number of hunters was always insufficient compared to the incidents that erupted, and the gates that could not be handled were bound to pop up suddenly.
I nodded after listening to Shin Se-hee.
“Uhm, right… America’s monster extermination request is quite effective.”
“Yes, the level of compensation and level of monsters is just right for us to take on a request from a government agency.”
“Tseuup, then I wonder if you can do that as a second request. No, who will take it before we take on the first request? “That’s a pretty good request.”
“······Yes? Second? Did you have anything in mind as your first request?”
“Yes, there is a request that can only be accepted now.”
I had to go through the documents I was holding for a while before I was able to find the request I had in mind.
☐ Request to resolve insomnia.
─ I hear strange sounds in my head every night. I can’t sleep. Please solve my insomnia.
Location: Jukai Forest, Japan.
Type: Personal request.
Remuneration: 100,000 yen.
Success condition: Satisfactory sleep.
Remarks: The identity of the requester has not been confirmed.
Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ 【Lowest】
Overall Review: Lowest grade request. Lack of description of the situation. Incorrect identity of client. Afterwards, there is no way for the client to file a complaint. A typically annoying request with little reward compared to the amount of work involved.
(What does it mean that the success condition is a satisfactory sleep? Is it okay to knock it out by hitting it on the head? ༼ ᕤ◕◡◕ ༽=ᕤ Swoosh!)
I burst out laughing at Shin Se-hee’s handwritten comment.
Shin Se-hee’s face turned bright red when she checked what request I had chosen.
“Um, uhm, are you really going to accept that request?”
She asked, adding quickly, perhaps to draw her attention away from her own comment.
“Yes, let’s take this as our first request.”
I looked down at the request and smiled with satisfaction.
‘This is a request for negligence.’
As soon as the second semester begins in Velvetsra, a mission window opens where players can select a request.
Among them, there are sometimes things called ‘negligent requests’.
What can I say?
After thousands of rounds of rerolling, I picked some crappy characters and felt confident
It was a fishing device to scold newbies who were still spirited and said they would carry out all the requests in the mission window.
In other words, even though it is the lowest level, it is a quest with an insane level of difficulty!
‘But for people like Velvets, these fruit requests were actually honey.’
As the difficulty has increased, the reward is not at the level that can be received at the current level.
There is a set timing for receiving negligence requests, so if you do not receive them as soon as they appear, your grade will be readjusted.
Among them, the request to solve insomnia was a representative request that could only be received at the first time.
“······.”
Shin Se-hee stroked her lips thoughtfully as if thinking about something, then made eye contact.
“Is this grading wrong?”
As expected, Shin Se-hee was comfortable with this.
Even if I don’t explain it to you, if I just tell you one thing, you’ll understand the background.
“Okay. All right. The first request was for insomnia. The second is a request to exterminate American monsters.”
“Can we accept the second request?”
“Okay, that’s easy. But what I need to worry about now is this first request. You said this is a request that can only be accepted now, right?”
“Yes, the rating will probably be readjusted soon.”
“Then, from preparation to attack, we need to be as fast as possible… I guess a strategy will be needed.”
“Operation?”
“Yes, there is no problem with receiving this in itself, but it requires a process to convince the party members. If it is a negligent request, the risk will be considerable, and if the attitude toward accepting requests is relaxed, a dangerous situation may arise.”
“Well, there is one bait about that.”
“······Bait?”
I smiled and nodded.
“Yes, an attractive bait that you won’t be able to resist biting.”
* * *
At Shin Se-hee’s call, all party members gathered in the conference room.
Lee Yu-ri, Kang Do-hee, Lim Ga-eul, and even Sophia.
Actually, I stayed in the same house until this morning and then came out, so it wasn’t anything new.
But the atmosphere was cold.
Because I immediately saw the request form Shin Se-hee gave me.
The addition that was written earlier had disappeared, but the rest was the same.
“Our first request? What is this······. Please solve my insomnia? If the remuneration is 100,000 yen… 895,672 won? It’s the lowest level request, right? And the identity of the client is unknown? No matter how I look, I can only smell something suspicious… Do you think it would be okay to knock him out by hitting his head?”
Lee Yu-ri’s words reminded me of the same comment Shin Se-hee wrote earlier and I laughed to myself.
“Yes, our Utopia’s first request is to solve insomnia.”
Shin Se-hee pretended not to see my reaction and spoke with a calm expression the whole time.
“Umm… Oh, are you trying to be considerate of other parties that are forming now? But is it really necessary?”
Lee Yu-ri, who was scratching her cheek, spoke while holding a gun on behalf of the party members, but everyone had a similar expression.
After Chairman Lina’s speech today, parties were springing up like a fire.
And we are all keeping an eye on who will carry out what request.
It was no exaggeration to say that at the center of it all was the Utopian Party.
Now, no matter what anyone says, Utopia was the hottest and most influential party within Velvet Hunter Academy.
“Well, I don’t have that intention. “Our Utopia was able to block the Blue Crab Wave during the vacation period, and its popularity was much higher than that of the seniors’ party that already existed.”
Shin Se-hee nodded as if it made sense.
“For future activities, it is also important to build good relationships with other parties. “It’s okay now, but it’s not a good idea to monopolize other parties’ jobs.”
“Flower Garden, you chose this request for such a strange reason?”
Kang Do-hee was listening to Shin Se-hee with his arms crossed and suddenly blurted out.
“Just say it. Anyway, our true intentions are different.”
“It’s hard to accept that people always judge me so harshly.”
Shin Se-hee pretended to be hurt in a slightly exaggerated way, but there was no one here who could be fooled by that kind of acting.
“Hmm, yes, whatever. It’s not wrong. There is another reason why I chose this request. In fact, this request is a negligent request.”
Shin Se-hee spoke as if she had found out what she heard from Jin Yu-ha a little while ago through her own research.
Basically, my job as an operator was to select and prepare the party’s requests.
Here, it is more convincing to say that she found out through her own research rather than saying that Jin Yu-ha told her.
‘Because these people don’t know that Jin Yu-ha can see her future.’
“Now, wait a minute! Wow, request for negligence!? “Then shouldn’t this be reported!?”
Ga-eul Lim, a second-year student, raised her voice angrily.
Because I have seen and heard what happens when a party of the wrong level rushes into a quest with an incorrect rating.
But Shin Se-hee shook her head resolutely.
“No. “We have to eat this.”
“There······. Is there something there?”
Sophia, who is quick-witted, added with a twinkle in her eye.
“Yes, I think there is an artifact hidden here that will improve the abilities of all party members. “It’s just an estimate, though.”
Shin Se-hee recited in a calm voice,
“!”
“!”
“!”
“!”
Her words she were a bombshell that could not be ignored
so lively for a description request
