53. last chance
“The thing I hate the most is lying. So please answer carefully. Or else I’d be really mad.”
The air in the intestines becomes heavy. Yuhan-Beom’s glaring gaze at Yoo Hee-Yeon spreads a chilly energy that makes the hamstrings tingle.
-gulp
Yoo Hee-yeon swallows dry saliva. she started to worry.
‘How much does my father know…everything…should I be honest…?’
My father’s words had implications.
-Why did you do that just because you couldn’t win first place in the academy?
In the documents that her father threw on the floor, there was a record of Yoo Hee-yeon using the authority of the Artemis Guild. However, it was difficult to ascertain what the exact contents were because the papers overlapped. It is, of course, impossible to lift the paper in this situation. That’s why Heeyeon Yoo was worried.
‘Knowing he wasn’t a stalker, he ignored it and kept pushing… Trying to drop him from the F-class competition… Trying to steal a weapon he traded on the way… Bribing the referee and bringing in an external artifact What did you do… how far did you know…’
There are so many things that come to mind just thinking about it right now.
She thought back to her father’s reaction when she spoke frankly.
– It’s disappointing. Artemis If the future Artemis guild leader did such mean things because of his lack of ability, you would immediately dig him out of the family register, so…
My father’s expected reaction seemed vivid to my ears. She knows too. As long as they’ve been together as a family, the fact that their father won’t throw him away just because of this mistake. However, I was still anxious.
Will I really get down?
Won’t I lose everything I’ve enjoyed so far?
Wouldn’t the strong fence of Artemis Guild disappear?
Wouldn’t that be an unbearable punishment?

No matter what he does, it is Yuhan-beom. He wasn’t what anyone would expect.
‘Should I lie…’
She looked sideways into Yuhanbeom’s eyes. He was looking at Yoo Hee-yeon with unwavering eyes.
‘It would be impossible to deceive everyone…’
If everyone responds with lies, it will only make things worse. However, it is difficult to even say everything that happened. Already, too many roads have passed. It was ugly and servile, but how can I talk about the fact that I even failed. So she resolved to choose the lesser evil, if not the worst.

Yoo Hee-yeon knelt in front of her father.
“Father…I am really sorry.”
Yoo Hee-yeon reacted unexpectedly to Yoo Hee-yeon’s reaction, but Yuhan-beom showed a surprised reaction for a while, but soon regained his composure and asked a question.
“You admit it unexpectedly right? Earlier, he pretended not to know, so I thought he would insist on saying no until the end. Good judgment. If you kept lying, I wouldn’t have let you go.”
Yoo Hee-yeon rubbed her chest inwardly. First of all, it was judged that it was right to apologize, so she continued to push.
“Father, listen to your pathetic daughter. I wanted to brag to my father by winning first place at the academy. I wanted to prove that I am the daughter of Artemis’ guild leader by taking first place in all fields, including written and practical skills.”
“It’s not enough to just be the head of the academy, and it’s not enough to open Artemis’s artifact warehouse, so it’s possible to give the judges back money and buy the same students with money to use them? I won’t point out any more about your method itself. I also did a lot of dirty things in my life. I lament that you, my daughter, are behaving like me in the past, but I will not rebuke you any more, as I have been. but.”
He looked at Yoo Hee-yeon with a puzzled expression.
“It’s an academy. It is an academy where newbies who have just awakened gather. You have to go out to society in the future, explore dungeons, and face monsters far more terrifying than people. We have to deal with demons who cannot communicate with each other and have overwhelmingly strong powers, criminal organizations like cancer cells, and guys like Hilleon that are distributed in the dark market and labyrinth. Because those bastards always covet what we have and want to come out to the sun. however-! How are you going to live in the future if you do such obscene things because of your lack of ability, starting with the academy!”
-Kwaaang-!
His lamentable voice resounded throughout the hall, and the table Yuhan-beom hit broke in two.
He caught his breath for a moment and then spoke to Yoo Hee-yeon.
“If you lack ability, start thinking about developing it. The expedient is when you feel like you shouldn’t risk everything, even your life. It’s an expedient to use when you really can’t help it. The pyeonbeob-eul that you use to go easy doesn’t grow a person. If you reach out your hand because you can’t even take a step, how are you going to run later?”
“I hate people who are incompetent to the extreme. You, my daughter, are no exception to that. Please do not make me hate you.”
pathetic. I thought so. However, Yuhan-beom thought it would be his karma. Because he was always busy, he couldn’t spend time with Yoo Hee-yeon. Once a week, even an hour or so is hard to find, so all education is left to Kim Hee-ra and the nannies. It must be the parents’ responsibility for not noticing that their child is being perverted, so I talked with as much anger as possible.
It’s family though. I have only one daughter, so I tried to understand as much as possible. What Yuhan-beom hates the most is people who lack ability. Yuhan-beom treats such people as leeches. Anger at my daughter being a leech was rising. My heart felt stuffy at the thought that I was repeating the mistakes I had made in the past.
However, he must have had his own responsibility, so he endured and endured. This could be known just by looking at Yuhan-beom’s reaction. If the person involved in this case was Yuhan-beom’s daughter. If it wasn’t for Yoo Hee-yeon, she would have been punished and kicked out right away.
but. Yu Hee-yeon cried out in tears, wondering if she was unaware of Yuhan-beom’s consideration.
“My father-!”
She looked into Yuhanbeom’s eyes and shouted.
“Daddy, why the hell are you doing this to me! I only harassed one academy class F. yes i did a nasty thing Everyone must have investigated, but Lee Hyun-seung to beat him? Do you know how difficult the Broad Academy written exam is? A few years ago, no one ever got a perfect score. But Hyunseung Lee has never missed a perfect score since he entered the academy. How the hell am I supposed to beat him? How to win in a normal way? I tried. I’ve been working like crazy! He said he did his best while not sleeping and his nose was bleeding.
she spoke through tears.
“What are you going to do with me… I just wanted to be acknowledged by my father…”
Daughter of Artemis guild leader. That position gave her everything in the world, but there was something she couldn’t get even with such enormous power.
A father’s care and love. And the recognition that comes from the father.
I wanted to be recognized. Only, that was it. The only thing she lacked was her father’s approval.
To Yoo Hee-yeon, her father was both an object of fear and an object of envy.
“ha….”
Yoo Hee-yeon looked at the teary-eyed Yu Hee-yeon and spoke softly.
“The method is wrong. I don’t know how desperate you were. However, you should have thought that as desperate as you are, other people may feel unfair.”
He took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Yoo Hee-yeon.
“Lee Hyunseung. He is a capable person. To be honest, he is a man who is not lacking enough to be described as the number one talent to be recruited into the Artemis Guild. Now that he has awakened as a gunman, he seems to have gone astray by having a fight, but do you know what this guy’s dream was?”
Several years before Hyunseung Lee entered the academy, a real-time career hope survey on the street. Among the information collected by the deputy guild leader, the answers to the survey that Lee Hyun-seung had written remained.
– Q What kind of job do you want to have when you become an adult?
– A. I want to become a member of the Magic Tower.
– Q. Why did you think so?
– A. Because learning is fun. I’m happy just looking at magic.
Yoo Hee-yeon looked at the paper and trembled.
Yuhanbeom looked at him and talked.
“Do you know why this guy had no choice but to get a perfect score on the written test? This guy had been voluntarily exploring magic for several years before he entered the academy, because it was his dream to enter the Mage Tower. I didn’t have great talent or something special like you think. At that time, Lee Hyeonseung was in a state of non-awakening. I was just trying to die.”
“But, as you know, if you have a record of being suspended from the academy in the Mage Tower, you will be disqualified from taking the exam. Because of you, Lee Hyun-seung’s dream since he was a child has collapsed.”
Eventually, Yuhan-beom handed a piece of paper to Yoo Hee-yeon.
[Representative Qualification Match]
– Class A vs Class F
– Class B vs Class C
“This is the result of your actions. If you lose to Class F, where Lee Hyeon-seung is a member, in this representative selection, because of the additional penalty points, you will finish your practical training with a grade of the middle or upper rank, let alone the second place. So, this is my last chance. Be fair and square in this class annihilation battle. And win. Then I will forgive you for your actions. It won’t be difficult. Class A and Class F have a lot of difference in overall power. but.”
Yuhanbeom looked down at Yoo Heeyeon and talked.
“If you lose again this time, I will reconsider the successor to the Artemis Guild.”
– Kadeudeuk
Yoo Hee-yeon muttered with poisonous eyes as she listened to Yuhan-beom’s story.
“It won’t happen. This time I’m sure… I can win.”
