35. Choi Min-seo came to me on her own
“Oh, drink, drink! Let’s eat and die today!”
“Hey, this guy is down too! Someone win with alcohol, Mr. Emma!”
“Chief is coming down! Everyone stand up!”
When I went down alone, the men who were drinking heavily saluted me. I took it lightly and ordered him to rest.
“Captain, we will begin soon. ‘Nameless year-end hero & villain ranking’!”
A quick-tempered subordinate reported.
There was such a program.
It is an awards ceremony-like program that an unidentified independent talent called Nameless sends out every last day.
It comes out every year with a frequency that cannot be traced, but it is considered quite public because the information is accurate.
It is a ranking that evaluates only one year of performance, not data.
In reality, it was an event where GMs announced the player rankings, but there might be a real nameless talent somewhere here.
When the broadcast starts and the screen is projected on the large screen in the hall, the subordinates cheer.
『Hero section. 1st place in ranking. Red Dragon. S class. Affiliation Seoul Hero Association. Ability Red Dragon. Level cannot be measured. The squadron belonging to the Dragon King’s Squadron… … 』
“Of course!”
“Quickly show me the villain!”
“Call the name of Vengeance!”
“Vengeance!”
“Vengeance!”
The subordinates are excited and chant the name of Vengeance.
『2nd place. Pink Wings.”
『Third place. Silver Mirror』
『Fourth place. Blue Saber.』
『Fifth place. Yellow Cloaker.』
『Sixth place. Absolute Seven.』
『Seventh place. Exile.』
『Eighth place. Green Nature.』
… …
After the mention of the hero ranking, the screen changes. White to black background.
『Ranking in the Villain Organization category.』
“Oooh!”
“come!!”
“1st. Sung-soo Shin. Level 9 villain organization. Head and CEO El Lena. SSS-level villain. 2-man finisher. SS-level villain. 1,129 members. This year’s social risk impact index is 972.』
“Write. After all, is the first place sacred water?”
“You can’t be full on the first drink.”
“In fact, wouldn’t it be great to be in the top 10? We are total newbies.”
“The Impact Factor of Sins Work last year was 25.”
The subordinates who lose strength in their shoulders due to steam leaking.
But next moment.
『2nd place. Vengeance. Level 3 villain organization. Chief George. B-level villain. 2nd person Dark Matter. SS-level villain. 86 members of the organization. This year’s social risk impact index is 924.』
“what!!”
“2nd place?!”
“kill!!!”
The men scream and dance and raise their glasses. The DJ started playing music and the hall turned into a frenzy.
Everyone, including Emma, Illusion, Deep Dive, Count, and Hans, can be seen enjoying the party.
A satisfactory result.
This is an achievement in a few months, not a year.
It seems that the act of destroying the Dragon King Sentai, which is judged to be the most contributing to the peace of this society, received a high score.
This ranking does not directly affect my growth, but it served as proof that my direction was not wrong.
Currently, the organization has 86 members.
It is a number that includes 12 actors including Kim Deok-bae, but only usable A-grade or higher villains are gathered, not babbling.
“everyone! Let me tell you something!”
A man’s voice echoes through the speaker. It was Kim Deok-bae who played Dr. Hyun.
“Not long ago, I was an insignificant old man with no family or friends and no money to pay the rent right away. Georgeus-nim, who discovered my talent and came to see me, and who wrote a famous play that shocked the world called Resurrection of the Red Dragon, is a great prophet and the one who will become the king of the world! Everyone applauds the wisdom and achievement!”
The applause of the subordinates pours in. He lightly raised his hand in response.
“Old man Deokbae, try acting!”
“okay! Well done! The whole world has been tricked!”
An exciting drinking party. Deokbae Kim immediately began to immerse himself in emotions.
“Oh, my lord. Beware of jealousy. It comes a green-eyed monster that mocks and preys on the human mind.”
◈ ◈ ◈
“5 seconds until the New Year!”
“”4! 3! 2! One!””
“”happy new year!!””
The men scream for the building to float away. I went out to the balcony and closed the window, but I could see the window shaking from the vibration with their voices.
This is the place I was offered after a cooperative relationship with Elena and considerable checks.
The damp underground arena is currently occupied by the entire building with a penthouse, leaving only minimal operations possible.
After moving to a new hideout, the morale of his subordinates is skyrocketing.
Although he came under the supervision of El Rena that much, he can avoid the eyes of the Hero Association, so he has more advantages.
The president of the Association and the Dragon King’s Squadron must be keeping their eyes open while searching for the Red Dragon.
“Jeo, Happy New Year.”
Eruah is standing next to me. We leaned against the railing and gazed at the glittering city.
“Please take good care of me this year as well.”
After returning my greetings to him, I took out the prepared gift and handed it over.
“Happy Birthday.”
Eruah opened her eyes like a goldfish, sucked in her lips, and accepted my present with both hands with a big smile.
Eruah observes the wrapping paper in the dim light. Then, as if he liked it, he hugged him tightly in his arms.
“Do you like it.”
“You didn’t even check what it was.”
“It’s fine though.”
“Open it.”
Eruah carefully unwrapped the ribbon on the package and peeled it off layer by layer to check the contents.
“hair tie… what is it?”
“Because you have long hair. Use it if you feel uncomfortable during operation. The price matched the product you gave me.”
“Two.”
“Because it’s an easy thing to lose.”
“I won’t lose it.”
Irua looked lovingly at the two hair ties and answered that.
“Or would it be better to tie it in two strands at once? Which one do you like, Zeo?”
“What, I… .”
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Go for two
“There is nothing to like or dislike. Wouldn’t it be easier to tie them together?”
“huh. okay.”
“Emma has prepared a cake. The weather is chilly, so let’s go in and eat.”
“Here, Zeo.”
Irua looked at me.
midnight. Even with the threat of humanity above her head, the lights of the city celebrating the New Year shone brightly on her, as if it didn’t matter anyway.
She looked straight at me and told me the truth calmly.
“I am an adult now.”
◈ ◈ ◈
“Whoop, whoop, whoop.”
Choi Min-seo stood in front of the mirror and smiled. I put on this outfit and that outfit and chose the one that best suited me and put it on.
I got a call from Jung Eui-seok.
To yourself, very secretly.
The mere fact that he kept his promise made Choi Min-seo feel like he was about to fly.
Luxurious coat with light dress. I packed my luxury bag and left the private room when I met a face I didn’t like.
It was geography.
“What are you? What about that outfit?”
Ji Se-hwa frowns as much as possible.
“In a little while it will be training time. Where are you going?”
I felt good for a long time. Choi Min-seo was in a bad mood.
“It’s not something your sister will interfere with. you talked I don’t train with you anymore.”
“This bitch. Didn’t you feel it before Pegasus? I’m trying to exert some effort, but I’m going to pour cold water on it and fuck it.”
“Since when have you been working hard? You should have been like that before when Uiseok oppa was here.”
“this… ! So don’t do it! If we defeat the Galactic Empire from now on, maybe Jung Eui-seok will look at it again… !”
Ji Se-hwa screamed.
‘Cause it’ll come out soon
That’s why Uiseok oppa doesn’t like it.
I am different from you.
I’m still going to meet Uiseok oppa.
If I train with Eui-seok oppa, I’ll soon become much stronger than you guys, right?
hehehe, kidding.
huh. Actually, I’m not interested in that.
I just need to be acknowledged.
All I have to do is recognize my efforts and my talents and watch over them.
you never looked back at me
You guys who are weak in the first place don’t even have the right to acknowledge me.
“I’m not going out to play either. I will train on my own, so you know that.”
“hey. Do you want to come to your senses if you hit me like a dog like the president of the association?”
“Do you have anything to brag about other than violence?”
“You rushed at me that day when Chung Eui-seok ordered me to cut off my arm. Did you think you forgot?”
“So you should be grateful. My sister tried to cut off her arm, so she blew her body to stop it.”
“what… ?”
It was enough to talk like that.
At the time, Ji Se-hwa was insane and couldn’t grasp the surrounding situation, and in the end, the four of them became a lump and got tangled up, so it wouldn’t have been possible to distinguish who was who.
“I’m busy for the time being, so don’t call me except when sortieing. then.”
Choi Min-seo fired Ji Se-hwa and left the association.
◈ ◈ ◈
Choi Min-seo arrived at the meeting place with Chung Eui-seok. An empty factory. Upon entering, a training facility was established.
“Uiseok brother!”
“Oh, it’s Minseo.”
Noise began to form in Minseo Choi’s head. She ran to Jung Eui-seok and immediately fell into his arms.
“Brother, long time no see! Good job on the US business trip! How were the villains there?”
“It was nothing. Did you have a good look at the house?”
Jung Eui-seok stroking Choi Min-seo’s hair.
“lol. Ah, but why did we meet here… ?”
Minseo Choi looked around. As Chung Eui-seok touched his palms, a woman walked in.
It was a man with black long straight hair tied to the side and wearing a mask.
“He’s a new hero junior. Didn’t you decide to be this guy’s training partner?”
“A training partner? Was it? Well, if you’re talking about Eui-seok’s brother, you’re right! I will work hard!”
Choi Min-seo smiled and approached her junior and asked for a handshake.
“Hello juniors!”
“Nice to meet you, Green Nature. I am Eruah.”
Minseo Choi tilted her head.
It was because I thought it was a voice I had heard somewhere.
