16. beginning of revenge
Jeong Eun-seo, who was next to me, asked me a question.
“When will it be possible for you to go to find your grandfather’s legacy?”
“It is difficult for the time being. I have to be busy at the academy for about a month or two. If time permits, it could be shorter than that…but it could be longer, so I can’t give you a definite answer.”
I spoke to her with a disappointed look in her eyes.
“I’ll give you one piece of information as soon as I’m late, so please don’t ask questions, just listen.”
Jeong Eun-seo nodded.
“To be honest, I have a rough idea of where your grandfather’s legacy is. There is a hidden place on the second basement floor of the labyrinth, and I think it is probably there.”
“Did you find the Hidden…Hidden Place?”
“Didn’t I just say that I said it on condition that you don’t ask questions?”
“Ah…sorry…”
Jeong Eun-seo pondered for a while, then spoke to me.
“If what you are saying is true, and you are going to F class, I will make sure to return to the academy tomorrow as well. Rather than waiting far away anyway, being next to you makes me feel more comfortable. I didn’t attend for a long time and was suspended for class F, so I guess I can go to the same class.”
“Is there any need for that? Just do what you want to do, and if I contact you, it doesn’t matter if you act together then.”
“no. I can’t because I’m anxious. How do you know what’s going to happen in the meantime?”
She looked at me with worried eyes and spoke.
“I know that Hyunseung Lee is strong, but when the Artemis guild starts moving, your strength will be insufficient. When the time comes, I will speak to my father and lend him my strength.”
“…I understand for now.”
To be honest, there was nothing wrong with having insurance on my part, so there was no point in turning her down. Who would say no to a free back boat?
But I suddenly had a question.
“Jeong Eun-seo, there are things I don’t understand, but why are you being so nice to me? If you simply want to find your grandfather’s legacy, I don’t think there was a need to even confront Yoo Hee-yeon in the same situation as before.”
“I… When did I say that I was so… well done? Since you helped me in the labyrinth, I treated you appropriately. And, if you don’t know, this is far less than enough to have a colleague with a legendary class.”
She took out her phone for a moment and checked the list.
“Even in our guild, there are people with unique-level jobs, but there is absolutely no legendary level. They probably don’t even exist in the Artemis Guild, well… If they’re like that, they might have a secret legendary class, but anyway, your class is rarer and more amazing than you think. Right now, the job level is low, so the power will be reduced by half, but as time goes by, it will become so strong that others will not be able to catch up. I am investing for the future.”
I looked at her and thought to myself.
‘It’s not just the gunman’s job, the blacksmith’s job is also legendary.
Well, in fact, there was some truth in Jung Eun-seo’s words. The job grade of the mage tower mage, who exuded the tremendous energy of mana earlier, was not even close to the legendary level. Nam Jin-seok must have raised his job level a lot, so if I fight him right away, I will lose, but if I grow up moderately, I don’t know about it again. Even my job has additional characteristics as I grow. It was a pity that he was a gunman, but it wasn’t all that bad because he had [Simultaneous Awakening].
Jeong Eun-seo looked at me and talked.
“We exchanged contact information before, so let’s go together when we go to the academy tomorrow. The driver will take me to the car, so I will give you a ride on the way.”
“Isn’t there a need to go together? That would take a long time.”
When I questioned her, she responded as if she didn’t care.
“I’m on my way anyway, so if you tell me what time it comes out every day, I’ll go at that time.”
“Um…well, I’d appreciate it if you would do that.”
Actually, the distance between my house and the academy is not that close. It was quite inconvenient to use public transportation, but it was nice for me that they took me to the car first.
“great. Then we’ll do that from tomorrow, and I’ll call you if anything happens in the future, so take care of it.”
“Call? Why are you calling?”
“I just want to do counseling on my worries or something like that. Chi… friends do everything, right?”
I was looking at her blushing while saying the word friend, and a fact came to mind.
‘Ah, he doesn’t have any friends his age.’
Jung Eun-seo has a strong personality and is the type with strong pride. That said, I’m not the type to try to be friendly with others first. He is the type to be very honest and easily hurt others. Before entering the academy, she gathered one-on-one instructors for classes, and after entering the academy, she did not attend for several months, so she did not have any peers. In other words, I was the only friend who was similar to his age.
‘Did we become friends…?’
In the original game, there was no one whom Jung Eun-seo called a friend. I was just evaluated as a classmate. That’s why her attitude was a little questionable.
“Well, do as you like. But when you’re busy, you might not be able to get it.”
“I’m noticing it, so don’t worry.”
That moment.
– flinch
I felt someone’s presence behind me, so I looked there.
“Who is it?”
I shook my head and answered Jeong Eun-seo’s question.
“no. Anyway, let’s talk about this much for today, and let’s talk about the rest through text messages.”
I exchanged a brief greeting and parted ways with Jung Eun-seo.
-Jerbuck
-Jerbuck
-Jerbuck
Before long, I headed to the place where I could feel the presence of people hiding behind me.
– Stop.
“Why do you follow me like that? Do you have something to say?”
As we talked toward the wall, Seong Hyun-wook hesitated and crawled out of there.
“Uh…how did you know?”
Seong Hyun-wook grinded his teeth and just avoided his eyes. I talked to Sung Hyun-wook.
“Why are you so fidgety like a sh*t-f*cked bastard? Is it because I’m acquainted with Jung Eun-seo and Nam Jin-seok? After all, you’re a nasty guy who sucks on the backs of popular people, so your attitude changes like flipping your palms.”
-Wheek
Only then did Seong Hyeon-wook trudge towards Lee Hyeon-seung and said.
“what? Hyunseung Lee, have you finished talking now? are you f*cking kidding me? Do not be ridiculous. You’re the one who sucks on other people’s backs, you idiot. It’s disgusting to see people talking about themselves without having anything or strength, thinking they’re proud of their appearance. You’re just a non-awakened voyeur bastard. I don’t know how he seduced that woman, but why should I listen to such an asshole, who was lucky enough to meet and sell a woman?”
“Whoa… whoa…”
Seong Hyun-wook looked at me with reddened eyes. It must have been so resentful that he bowed his head and apologized to Nam Jin-seok earlier.
He shouted at me as if his heart was still unresolved.
“When I see bastards like you, I get disillusioned. It’s disgusting to see Ji talk like it’s nothing when it comes to the subject being followed by using someone else’s authority. Don’t talk nonsense about the incompetent person who couldn’t do anything except scribble in the written test at the academy-! I’m not someone that an inferior bastard like you can treat carelessly!”
I frowned and talked to him.
“Why don’t you admit it even when the evidence is out? Voyeur Voyeur Voyeur. Get rid of that bullsh*t. And that I’m incompetent? I’m saying this because you don’t seem to know, but I just woke up.”
Hyunseung Lee scanned me quickly and looked at the pistol hanging from my waist.
-Puha-!
He started laughing like crazy.
“He said he had awakened, so I thought he had a great job, but a pistol? A gunman who doesn’t have basic magic stats, so he has to stick to the magic stats attached to items? hahahahaha-! sick bastard. I don’t know what you’re saying yet, but gunsmiths are garbage. Well, it’s a job that goes well with a scumbag like you.”
“trash?”
I said while glaring at Seong Hyun-wook.
“If you really think I’m a piece of trash, why don’t you try a 1v1 fight at the academy tomorrow?”
“what? 1v1 sparring? Me, the swordsman, and you, the gunsmith?”
Sung Hyun-wook grinned and then looked at me and talked.
“Don’t regret it, you were the first to propose. Promise me. You said you wouldn’t use your connections. You’re not going to get beaten up and tell Jeong Eun-seo or Nam Jin-seok, right?”
I talked to Seong Hyun-wook while holding back a laugh.
“I promise.”
-grasp-!
Seong Hyun-wook pushed me away and then muttered to me.
“See you tomorrow, I’ll make you a half asshole, so look forward to it. I will return the humiliation I went through because of you today.”
-Jerbuck
-Jerbuck
-Jerbuck
I muttered to myself with the stat window open while watching Seong Hyeon-wook, who was grinning horribly from afar.
“A trash gunman? Okay, see you tomorrow, you stupid bastard.”
