38. What made the student council pay attention to Lee Jun-woo (1)
“Lee Jun-woo?! When were you awake?!”
Embarrassed, she hurriedly stood up.
His face turned red in surprise.
‘Is Choi Hana this surprised?’
It’s different from his usual cool, yet completely unsure of what he’s thinking.
Now, everyone can see Choi Hana’s emotions on her face.
Of course, it was me.
“I’m sorry… I fell asleep without knowing…”
“are you okay. This is like a bedroom in the infirmary, didn’t you nurse me?”
“yes. that’s right. I was worried, but he woke up again. Are you feeling well?”
“I don’t think there is any place that hurts. It looks like you’ve been lying down for quite some time. I think it’s fine thanks to you. thank you.”
I thanked Hana Choi for thanking me.
At those words, Hana Choi lowered her head slightly.
He seemed ashamed, though.
The corner of his mouth went up, as if my words of thanks were pleasant.
That smile made my heart throb without even realizing it.
‘I could have gone just by looking at my condition. Because he’s nice.’
I know very well that Hana Choi has a kind personality, unlike Aigis and the female students of True Apostles.
Still, she was the type that didn’t speak to the other male students.
To be honest, I’m the boss of the underworld, so I don’t feel awkward talking to men.
Personally, it seemed that she had no intention of getting along with her fellow male cadets at all.
I am the only one that Hana Choi naturally mixes with.
‘So I’m sure it’s not just my misunderstanding.’
If it’s not an illusion, he’s probably the only male student of Theia that Hana Choi is close with.
And it was true that the atmosphere with Hana Choi was strange recently.
Especially after the last all night study.
The distance with her became very close.
He’s hiding the fact that he’s Naharin and the fact that he’s the boss of the organization.
I haven’t been able to reveal everything to me until now.
Still, I was exchanging private DMs with her on a daily basis.
morning and late night.
I say hello to her every time I wake up and fall asleep.
The atmosphere between the two of them right now was more like a strange feeling between people who noticed each other’s feelings to some extent rather than being awkward.
“……”
“……”
There was silence again.
Suddenly, another image of Hana Choi, Naharing, came to mind.
When she’s Na Haring, she’s really amazing, she doesn’t stop for a moment to fill up the audio.
And these days, Naharin is a vertuber who is so good at taming viewers that he has been nicknamed Nafox.
‘I can’t believe they’re the same person when I see them being so shy.’
It’s to the point where I watch Naharin’s broadcast like I’m bewitched.
Come to think of it, ever since I fell for that Naharin broadcast.
It seems that her feelings for Hana Choi are gradually starting to move.
‘What do I think of Hana Choi…?’
Hana Choi is a major character who is even the main character of a side content in the original work.
In addition, he was a person with enough symbolism to bring together not only the underworld but also the forces opposing the apostles of Valhalla.
Song Yoo-hwan, the absolute powerhouse of this era.
In Song Yoo-hwan’s heyday, the only person who could be called a rival was Choi Ha-na’s father.
‘The betrayal of those subordinates. The true background was Song Yu-hwan.’
As Unknown, my purpose is the same as Hana Choi.
To stand at the top of the dark side.
to help her avenge it.
In the end, it is the same as becoming the opposite of Song Yu-hwan as my goal.
‘So I’ll do my best to help Hana Choi.’
It meant that I was different from the three members of the Aegis who would not feel guilty even if I used them for my own purposes and threw them away.
And I couldn’t be the same as those three people in the first place.
Hana Choi was always kind to me.
Unlike those three people, I could feel that every action toward me was sincere and warm.
They are even full of charm as women.
I am the kind of person who is honest with my feelings without absolute composure.
I wanted to do better for Hana Choi.
‘We’ll be lovers right away… I don’t think so.’
Apart from doing her a favor.
Becoming a formal lover is still too early.
The fact that Hana Choi is still Naharin to me.
Because she didn’t tell me her background as the boss’s daughter.
Besides, I also had to start working as Unknown from now on.
separate from the minds of the two.
It was not the time for both of them to start a normal relationship right away.
‘So it’s different from An Yu-min’s time. I won’t rush.’
Instead, if each other’s heart is really the same.
Unlike An Yu-min, I had no anxiety about Choi Ha-na.
I know her character well.
Once a heart was set, it was a personality that never changed.
And the two of them because of each other’s destiny.
No matter how it ended, he was always by my side.
Still, so that Hana Choi would not know.
To some extent, I wanted to convey my feelings.
‘If I hold your hand… I don’t think you’ll hate it.’
But it was just then.
“…… It’s really okay without any pain, right?”
Hana Choi, who opened her mouth again, looked at me with a worried expression.
And after a little hesitation,
Rather, it was Hana Choi who held my hand first.
It was an illusion, but Hana Choi did not let go of that hand.
‘Hana Choi first…’
Choi Hana was an awakened person with a hunter license.
The hand was thin and long like a woman’s, but very soft and warm.
Looking at Hana Choi, who quietly avoids her eyes again.
I slipped a pod into her hand.
The two of them spent a little more time together in the infirmary.
***
A few days passed.
The day I had a sparring with Lim Jae-ho.
I had an appointment with Xia Song that evening, but I canceled it.
I was tired from the aftereffects of that sparring, and at that time I was with Hana Choi in the infirmary.
I didn’t want to lose that short but precious time to Song Shia.
‘Perhaps because of that, I’ve been receiving DMs from Song Xia for several days.’
Ironically, the emotionless half-vampire was now showing too much emotion to me.
Awakening the blood of that true blood, the attachment to me became so severe that I became a blood vamp.
Knowing Song Shia’s emotionless personality, it was very emotional for me.
‘Thanks to that, I’ve been replenishing my demonic power, and even becoming a demon is in progress. I might be grateful.’
Of course, the situation was reversed.
When it comes to Xia Song, I can’t feel anything like she used to.
Right now, it is to my advantage to properly control her mind.
I felt no remorse about it.
[Lee Jun-woo: I had a busy time. See you today at the joint meeting of the crime research institute and the student council. At that time, look at my schedule and have a cup of coffee for a while.]
For a few days, I ignored her DMs without even mentioning the canceled appointment.
Coincidentally, in my schedule today, I had a contact with Song Xia.
Although Song Shia was not a member of the student council.
I was a member of the Criminal Union.
So today, I will meet you even if nothing special happens.
I sent her a DM as if to patronize her.
[Song Xia: Really? Are you sure you’re coming? As for coffee, I’ll live with it. You must be busy, but thank you so much for taking the time.]
[Song Sia presented a mobile gift certificate.]
However, even so, Song Shia was filled with happy feelings at the message that he would meet her.
It’s to the point of sending even a mileage gift certificate that can be used at Rain Weapons.
‘Well, I don’t need to use Rain Weapons right now.’
When strengthening the paladin sword.
And it was a high-end weapon store that was useful when receiving the orb, the current main weapon, as a gift from Song Xia.
The Rare + grade weapon is in its pure state without any enhancement grade.
It was necessary to gradually strengthen the orb because it was in a state of considerable synchronization according to my own mana flow.
‘Now it’s really time to act as Unknown.’
His physical stats were heading towards the average of Theia cadets.
When I think of the past when I was at the level of an ordinary person, I am deeply moved.
Working as an unknown is a completely different story.
Jo Ah-rin, the student council president who is revered as an absolute presence in Theia.
Even her main stats have already exceeded 120, she is still a rookie when it comes to named villains or members of the underworld.
‘As much as that, the experience level of those who are higher than A-class Awakeners is different.’
So no matter how effective the hidden title is.
My body needed more strengthening.
And when physical ability is lacking, it is also a good way to save temp.
‘In that sense, the current main weapon… the crimson flickering orb is useful.’
As it is a high-grade item, special effects can be enchanted whenever it is strengthened.
In the meantime, I’ve collected a lot of system goods through clearing quests.
Although you can enhance that orb from the Dwarven Craftsman in Rain Weapons.
I put off strengthening a little more.
‘A significant part of the quest has passed.’
Not only for Theia’s cadets, but also for active Awakeners, Rain Weapons was a high-end weapon shop.
At this point, there was no need to rely on Rain Weapons.
I already opened the Hotel of Mirrors and entered it.
After the midterm exam, the space behind Theia Academy.
The Hotel of Mirrors had a special layer that could enhance weapons in a special way.
The only problem is how to re-enter the Hotel of Mirrors.
Fortunately, the people gathered at the meeting I’m headed to now will figure it out.
I arrived at the student council meeting room.
The place was full of familiar faces.
I greeted the red twintail, Chairman Jo A-rin.
“hello. Seniors.”
However, her mood was somehow strange.
Suddenly, she blushed and called me out of the meeting room for a moment.
