41 – 041. Kang Haneul (2)
The character Kang Ha-neul has excellent talent, but is a character of misfortune who was defeated because of his obsession and stubbornness.
Kang Ha-neul is a freshman in the first year of the first grade like the main character. In other words, her basic qualities have been verified. In addition to that, her psychic power, Avatar ability, was her unrivaled and powerful ability.
Avatar ability is the ability to implement an avatar in the form of a human being imaged in the head, remotely control it, or wear it directly on the body.
Basically, avatars have excellent physical abilities, and when worn on the body, the effect of enhancing the physical abilities can be seen. In addition, the embodied avatar has a separate superpower according to its form.
Based on the original work, there are three superpowers that Kang Ha-neul can realize as avatar abilities: ignition ability, acceleration, and clairvoyance.
In other words, Kang Ha-neul’s avatar ability can be said to be a combination of five superpowers: physical enhancement, transformation, ignition ability, acceleration, and clairvoyance.
Basically, even if a superhuman is born with only one superpower, there is no law that a superpower can only have one effect. It is possible to have multiple abilities such as breathing fire from the left hand and extracting ice from the right hand. However, Kang Ha-neul’s avatar ability, which is a mixture of five abilities, was unrivaled among such complex superpowers.
In terms of quality, he is at a level comparable to a leading character.
However, as mentioned earlier, Kang Ha-neul was consumed as a one-time villain because of her own obsession and stubbornness. She believed only in her talent and attacked Midwyeol, but was defeated, and fell as it was, holding her pride that did not know how high it was.
“What kind of student was Kang Ha-neul?”
It was a world where most superhumans had a sense of being chosen. Even in such a world, Kang Ha-neul had a particularly strong ego. A woman who is confident in her demeanor, unstoppable in her actions, and never questions her own thoughts. That was Kang Ha-neul in the original work.
“The overall impression was that he was a quiet and timid person.”
However, the answer that came out of Midwinter’s mouth was completely different from what I expected.
“Quiet? Timid? Are you talking about student Kang Ha-neul?”
“Yes. He didn’t talk much and had no self-control to speak of. During the group activities, they didn’t give any opinions and just did what I and the others told us to do. The impression that she just wanted to be buried was strong, but she didn’t leave much of an impression.”
Even though they are different, they are so different. I wondered if the river sky that Midgeoreum was talking about was really the river sky I knew. Could it be that something has changed from the original?
“Ah, come to think of it, he asked me some rude questions when he was alone with me in the middle.”
“What question was it?”
“Why do you want to become a hunter when you are the heir to a large company? Isn’t a safe and stable life guaranteed anyway? Aren’t you afraid of getting hurt in a fight? …. I said it at length, but it was roughly this. Ha, I really want it.”
Mid-Gyeol made a displeased expression as he drank coffee from a cup.
“A stable life? Don’t be funny. There are only four siblings fighting for the heir position with me. Besides the family, there must be dozens and hundreds of hyenas seeking the management rights of the group. If you want to survive in it and seize the throne of power, you must develop your own power. And fortunately, I was born superhuman.”
Haebyeol entered the Green House not simply to become a hunter. For her, her Green House is her cradle for growing her strength to fight her other rivals, and forging several connections that will assist her in her future succession to power. It was a place for
“Besides what? Aren’t you afraid of getting hurt in a fight? It’s been a long time since I overcame that petty fear. Because the life I have lived so far has not been something I could face with such a half-hearted mindset.”

Life in the middle of winter was never smooth. Because of her symbolism as the heir to Korea’s No. 1 Corporation, she became the target of all sorts of crimes, and she looked for opportunities to put knives in each other’s backs, even among people of her own group and even blood-sharing families. As she said, it must have been a life that could not even be endured with any resolution.
If you asked her such questions as her stable life as her successor, her fear of battle, and so on, of course she would be offended.
“Looking at that question, it seems that the student Kang Ha-neul was afraid to fight as a hunter. Usually, such questions are asking for sympathy from the other person.”
Ryu Tae-hyeon’s opinion was plausible. It was plausible, but it was an opinion that I had no choice but to tilt my head.
‘Kang Ha-neul is not that kind of character. She is neither timid, nor quiet, nor timid. He must have been an arrogant character who lives for his taste…….’
“Then, that’s it! The reason for dropping out is that he is a coward after all. Is not it?”
“It’s not that simple.”
I shook my head at Chae So-yeon’s question.
“What is not simple?”
“If you were simply afraid of fighting, you don’t have to drop out. Because in the curriculum of Green House, there are various options besides hunter aspirations.”
“Something like soldiers or cops?”
“The career path of a superman is not necessarily limited to occupations that require combat skills. There will be an option of being an office worker at the Hunter Association or a public official in a government agency related to superhumans, and if you are interested in learning, you may be able to apply for a teaching position or researcher in a related field.”

Lee Young-han, who was the victim of the last incident, was a student at the Green House and aspired to be a researcher. Just because he was a superman, there was no law that required him to only fight with his body.
“No matter what, a Green House diploma is a huge advantage when looking for a job as a superman. Even so, if you have to drop out…….”
“I will leave the superhuman society. Doesn’t that mean something?”
I nodded at Ryu Taehyun’s words. I thought so too. I don’t know why Kang Ha-neul had such a heart.
“…… But, I’ve been curious about it for a while. Why does the guard care so much about each dropout?”
“That… ….”
“Because we are going to stop Kang Ha-neul from dropping out!”
“Preventing dropouts?”
‘This crazy.’
How can I say that straight away? What would you do if Midgeoreum asked why you had to stop dropping out?
“Isn’t that completely useless?”
However, contrary to concerns, Midwinter did not question why we were trying to stop Kang Ha-neul from dropping out.
“You are a person who is afraid of fighting and will drop out. For a loser who is overcome with such a sense of defeat, it will be useless to say anything outside unless he overcomes it on his own. Even if I reversed my dropout thanks to you guys, with such a spineless mind, I would write a letter of dropout saying that I was scared again after a while. It’s obvious.”
It was a sharp analysis typical of midwinter. While holding such an impression, Ryu Tae-hyun, who was sitting next to him, smiled mysteriously as he looked at the midwinter.
“…… Why are you making that face?”
“No, just. So, I wonder if our midwinter has overcome the sense of defeat he lost to me.”
“Yes?”
A question popped up on the face of midwinter.
In no time, her face turned red.
“Of course I overcame that feeling of defeat!! No, I never had a sense of defeat in the first place!! Besides, I must have won in Dalian the day before yesterday, right?!”
“And yesterday in Dalian, I won again. Total 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.”
“Anyway, it’s simple sparring without a referee! Hey, when Ranked Match starts this week, that’s the real deal! I will never lose then!”
“Still, since I am the top student, I must be first in the ranking match. Hold that position well. I will go find it soon.”
“What are you looking for! Because you’re going to step on the footsteps that come up!?”
Midwinter, after shouting while pointing, turned its gaze toward us in an instant. Her face turned even more red.
“…… It’s been 10 minutes, so I’m leaving.”
Having said that, Midwinter turned her body around and left. As I gazed at her from behind, Ryu Tae-hyeon asked me.
“What do you look so pleased with hyung?”
“Just… ….”
I smiled awkwardly and glossed over the answer. I can’t say right away that I was thrilled to see the midwinter come alive in front of her eyes.
This world is in a novel, and the people in front of you are all characters in the novel.
Thinking that way, I tried not to harbor unnecessary emotions, but seeing the heroine I once liked alive and moving made me feel better.
“But can I just send it like that?”
“Uh. Because I was just asking about it. Thank you for making this a place for us today.”
“What? Anytime I can help, just tell me.”
I also smiled at Ryu Tae-hyun, who had a kind smile. It was exactly the same as what we saw in the novel.
After that, after tidying up the place and leaving the cafe and parting ways with Ryu Tae-hyeon, Chae-yeon, who had been pouting her mouth, spat out.
“I didn’t like him earlier.”
“Who? Ryu Tae-hyun?”
“No, that midwinter girl.”
It was an understandable reaction. Unlike me who knew her true appearance in the middle of winter, Chae-yeon could only see her as a high-handed and cheeky chaebol girl.
“The first impression might be a little off, but there’s nothing wrong with being a good student. If you eat best friends with him, will your life be easier?”
“hehehe. That’s it. Even if you are the heir of a conglomerate, after all, you are just a kid with a lot of money, right? The world’s affairs are not solved only by money.”
Chae-yeon shook her head and smiled. To me, it must have been a gesture to look mature, but to me, it was laughable.
“Still, in midwinter, pretty much anything can be done with money, right?”
“What an heir to a great company. I heard she became the daughter of Hansung Group?”
“Uh.”
“Eh?”
Chae So-yeon’s expression froze.
“…… Hansung Group? Are you talking about the Hansung Group I know?”
“Uh. He is the successor of the Hansung Group.”
“…… The daughter of the affiliate president?”
“No. The second granddaughter of Hansung Group Chairman Han Kun-woo.”
“Gee, really???”
I nodded my head softly as she looked at Chae-yeon, who asked in disbelief.
The devastated gaze of Chae-yeon turned towards the far distance, in the direction where midwinter had left. She obviously can’t be there as she left a long time ago.
Soon after, Chae-yeon turned her head and looked up at me. The two eyes, filled with anxiety, wavered aimlessly.
I understand why the reaction was like that. Hansung Group is one of the leading conglomerates in Korea and around the world. The president of the group, Han Kun-woo, had a status in his own country, with a little exaggeration, and was no different from the king of the Republic of Korea.
In other words, Chae-yeon was arguing with the king’s granddaughter. In the Joseon Dynasty, the three tribes would have been destroyed as traitors.
Of course, now is not the Joseon Dynasty, and there is no such thing as Chae-gwa-yeon being sentenced to death. However, the burden she must be feeling now will never be inferior to that.
“……………… What should I do now?”
So she asked with a trembling voice.
“Oh!”
In the next moment, her eyes wide open.
“Ho, aren’t you just retaliation against me at the corporate level?!”
I don’t think that’s going to happen due to her midwinter personality, but whether that’s the case or not, Chae-yeon just trembled with her anxiety as she spread her imagination alone.
“It was a big deal…… ! My cell phone is also a Hansung Electronics phone. The car is also Hansung Motors. Bo, I turned off Hansung Insurance…… !”
As if to prove that it is Korea’s leading conglomerate, Hansung Group had already penetrated deeply into the life of Choi So-yeon. If the Hansung Group really retaliates against Chae-yeon, her life will collapse in an instant.
“Heh, hehehe!”
Of course, that never happens. Absolutely not, but it seemed as if the image of her sitting on the street, with her house and car taken away, was already replaying in her mind.
“Huhhhhh… ….”
I sighed and picked up the phone at the sight of Chae-yeon with big tears hanging from her eyes. Then she looked at me with her eyes as if Chaeyeon had found a ray of hope in her.
“Sigh! Hey, are you calling him earlier…… ? Just look at it once…… ?”
“No, it’s someone else.”
“Huhhhhh… ….”
“Stop whining. Midwinter isn’t the kind of person who would retaliate against something like that.”
“Gee, really?”
“Yes. Really.”
At my words, Vegetable Yeon sniffed! And swallowed her runny nose. She turned her back at the disgusting sight and held her phone to her ear.
“So, who are you calling?”
“Now that I have roughly figured out the reason for dropping out, I should go see him in person.”
The indistinct beep stopped, and a woman’s voice was heard over the phone.
– Hello…… ?
“My name is Ahn Su-ho, and I belong to the Special Countermeasures Division of the Green House Guard. Is that Kang Ha-neul’s student number?”
-Yes, I am Kang Ha-neul…… , Guards? Was there a guard at the green house?
Kang Ha-neul spoke gibberish in a locked voice, like someone who had just woken up. It’s past 3pm. Did it really just happen?
“Yes. This is the Green House Guard. I have something to tell you about Kang Ha-neul’s dropout, but can I meet you?”
A gasping sound could be heard over the phone. A moment of dry silence passed.
– Great. I don’t know why the security guard is concerned about my dropping out, but he has something to say, so we should meet him.
I replied with a smile at the acceptance that fell soon.
“Thank you for your cooperation. How can I visit your house?”
-…… No. I’ll go to the green house.
“Okay. What time is it?”
-…… Let’s go right now. It will take about an hour.
“Confirmed. I will be waiting for you at Cafe State next to Building N on the site.”
-…… Either way
Kang Ha-neul always had a sleepy voice. In that attitude, I didn’t feel the confidence or pride I saw in the original. It might just be because I’m asleep, but…….
‘Well, I’ll understand when I meet him.’
After a while, I hung up the phone and went back into the cafe with Chae-yeon, who was rubbing her eyes with her fist.
Definitely a transmigrator.
