Baek Jeong-woon had already heard most of the contents from Han Yoo-jeong.
The fact that the people who attacked Miterich were the Rebellion, the resistance army was formed under the leadership of Seo Hyun-woo, and the fact that Seo Hyun-woo defeated the leader of the Rebellion.
The rest of the information had to be found through the Commission and Setinos Hunters.
‘As long as people live, they can get hurt. You may make mistakes, or you may be unlucky. But what kind of bastard dares…’
Baek Jeong-woon feels that he is being buried in the past and struggles to manage his expression.
When I went to subjugate the dungeon with Yoo Jin-seop, I cut down all the monsters I could see.
If they were judged to be enemies, didn’t they cut them down without hesitation even if they were Awoken or Hunters?
‘The student council president’s judgment is not wrong. Trusting Seoyeon’s skills, she must have dealt with their captains together.’
Baek Jeong-woon was well aware that Baek Seo-yeon had great talent and put in a lot of effort.
Perhaps Seo Hyeon-woo knew this and brought Baek Seo-yeon into the battle.
Since he fully understood the intention, there was no reason to reproach Seo Hyun-woo.
‘You must have been so angry because the person you loved was hurt. That’s why I poured all my magic on him.’
If all of the mana in the body was consumed in an instant, it was bound to be a burden on the body.
Perhaps as a result of the side effects, some of the magic power was lost, or the ability could not be used permanently.
However, Seo Hyun-woo did it as soon as Baek Seo-yeon was injured, and ultimately led to victory.
‘…don’t admit it. With that kind of mindset, there’s no need to doubt. Finally, someone who can trust and entrust Seoyeon has come out.’
Baek Jeong-woon was satisfied with Seo Hyun-woo’s response and took out his smartphone.
In the contact list, the names Seong Jae-heon and Oh Seong-hyun stood out first.
If you press the call button on Seong Jae-heon’s side, the call is connected immediately.
– Senior, I heard the news. How about Seoyeon?
– Healing the wound now. By the way, I need to borrow your team for a while. I just need to help you find someone for a second.
– …Are you going to pursue them?
– I must kill you with my own hands.
Hearing this, Jaeheon Seong felt tense and swallowed the silence.
Baek Jeong-woon has never fought a battle since he released his hand from dungeon subjugation.
I always tried to be quiet, and there were a lot of things that made me angry, but I just let it go.
If Baek Jeong-woon said that he had to kill him, it would mean that he was greatly outraged.
– We will send 2 sets of our team. I’ll help too.
– You don’t have to come. He must be killed with my own hands.

Inside Rebellion’s hideout.
Some of the captains who survived the air raid were scattered and giving instructions to the members.
Rebellion’s morale fell, but it wasn’t over, so he was preparing to move the hideout.
“You can’t cure it? What are you talking about?”
“It is as I said. There is nothing more we can do here.”
Rebellion’s doctor answered cautiously, conscious of Jeon In-hyuk lying on the bed.
So far, while staying in the hideout, he has faced several patients, but there has never been a time when his healing ability did not work to this extent.
In the case of Rebellion’s deputy general manager, the treatment time was delayed and there was no way to do it, but Jeon In-hyuk took action as quickly as possible.
Still, the severed left arm could not be regenerated, and the burns surrounding the body could only be prevented from further worsening.
“What the hell do you know how to do? Even the deputy chief couldn’t cure him, and even the chief…”
“stop. Just because you have healing powers doesn’t mean you can do everything.”
Rebellion’s 2nd corps commander discourages the captain and forces him to step back.
Fighting with colleagues here didn’t change anything.
About one-third of the members had already lost their lives in Miterich, and the 1st unit commander and several other captains followed suit.
Now, while waiting for Jeon In-hyeok to recover, he would have to increase the number again.
“So, should this be considered the best for now?”
“Yes. It will be difficult to regenerate the left arm, but with time, the burn can be cured.”
“Huh… everyone, except for the 3rd corps commander, should go out.”
Doctors and medical staff leave the room at once at the answer of the 2nd unit commander.
The captains wanted to argue more, but they couldn’t overcome the momentum of the 2nd corps commander and went out reluctantly.
The 2nd unit commander opened his mouth slowly while remaining in the hospital room with the 3rd unit commander.
“Captain, are you all right? Unfortunately, the left arm…”
“What is the vice-captain doing now?”
Jeon In-hyuk deliberately cut off his words and got up slowly.
The burns seemed to burn the skin, but compared to exposure to lightning, it was not unbearable.
He felt a phantom pain from his empty left arm, but there was no time to be swayed by it.
The 2nd and 3rd units couldn’t put their hands on the burnt body, so they just watched.
“He is encouraging the members by walking around the inside of the hideout.”
“I see you can move now. In the future, please take orders from the vice-captain.”
“All right. We will also find an Awakener of the Ganghwa system who can heal the leader.”
“… Prepare to leave for China. Now this hideout must be abandoned.”
“Yes. The deputy chief also said the same thing, so we are gathering supplies now.”
There was a high probability that the wounded members were caught by the committee because they could not escape.
I had no choice but to interrogate them and try to find the location of the hideout.
Besides, the committee also organized a separate pursuit team, so we must quickly cross over to China to ensure safety.
“Proceed as planned. If you go through Jeju Island, you are less likely to be discovered.”
“I just got in touch with the members in Jeju Island. The Chinese side is also preparing now.”
“What is the scheduled departure time?”
“At the earliest, tonight, and at the latest, we can leave tomorrow morning.”
“great. Let me prepare myself.”
Jeon In-hyuk endures the pain that stabs his body and escapes from the hospital bed.
The vice-captain alone could not reassure the members.
Even if he showed his wounds, he had to let them know that he was still alive.
“Captain, if you are still moving…”
“You can’t do anything without the members. Rebellion can only be maintained without me.”
Jeon In-hyeok transforms into a two-legged woman and steps forward slowly.
Fortunately, the pain has diminished, and movement has become much more comfortable.
But the hatred and fear of Miteric’s student council president still lingered in his mind.
‘He’s a scary guy. To act as the student council president in Miterichi with such a hidden power… There was a reason to become a candidate for Setinos Hunter.’
***
Inside the student council president’s office.
Seo Hyun-woo, as always, was looking at the monitor and moving the mouse around.
I just had a rebellion raid yesterday, but I couldn’t let go of the thought of getting things done.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Most of all, because Baek Seo-yeon was absent, she had to take her place as well.‘Why did Baek Jeong-woon say that? Did I look surprisingly reliable?’
Seo Hyun-woo yawns, even a little, and walks away from his work desk.
Then he pours water into the coffee pot and makes a subtle expression.
Last night, Baek Jeong-woon left only a short message over the phone, so I thought that doubts would arise.
‘Are you asking for Baek Seo-yeon? So, it means you’ll be away for a while… Where are you going?’
Seo Hyun-woo blankly looked down at the coffee pot and fell into trouble.
In the current situation, there was no way Baek Jeong-woon would be absent.
Not only was Baek Seo-yeon injured, but the committee was mobilizing its hunters to track down Rebellion.
That being said, there is no way the committee could have sent the person in charge of the subjugation and safety planning department to the pursuit team.
‘If you want to hit Rebellion by yourself…’
smart.
It was a familiar knock that came every day.
When the door opens, Baek Seo-yeon appears and enters.
Seo Hyun-woo wondered if he saw something in vain for a moment, but he had no choice but to frown.
“What are you doing here? Go back to the hospital right now.”
“Didn’t you tell me yesterday? It was an injury that could be treated quickly.”
Baek Seo-yeon patted her left arm and answered calmly.
It was not enough to borrow the power of the medical staff, so he devoted himself to treatment by using his own abilities.
Therefore, the broken bones and muscles were perfectly attached, and the blood flow and nerves were also connected in a short time.
“Even so, I should have rested for a day or two.”
“Isn’t my condition better than that of the president whose magic has not been restored?”
Baek Seo-yeon clearly remembered the technique Seo Hyun-woo used yesterday.
As soon as he got hurt, didn’t he spit out swear words and raise a large amount of magical power?
There is a high probability that most of the mana was consumed to create a thunderbolt close to a natural disaster.
Perhaps in order to recover that much magic power, at least one day of rest, or two days of free time would have to be left.
“… Hunter Baek Jeong-woon will be worried.”
“I came here because I was worried about the president. At least he was trying to get my job done for me. Now, why don’t you get sick for just one day?”
“You can’t get sick in this situation.”
“I thought you would say that.”
Baek Seo-yeon smiles and approaches Seo Hyun-woo.
Both eyes were shaded, and his lips seemed dry.
It wasn’t enough to show a sign of tiredness, so there was a gloomy atmosphere.
“You can take it easy. I’m going to do my best for today as well.”
“okay. Have some tea and go.”
“Thank you, I will drink.”
Baek Seo-yeon quickly raises the coffee pot as soon as she hears a click.
Then, put a tea bag in each of the two teacups and pour boiling water over them.
After adjusting the amount of water according to each person’s preference, the conversation continues.
“My uncle said that he would be dispatched to another area for a few days. He seemed to have a lot of trust in the president.”
“Do you know where you are going?”
“… I didn’t ask. There must be some secret in what you do.”
Seo Hyun-woo realized Baek Jeong-woon’s purpose belatedly, but he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
If he had to tell Baek Seo-yeon that Baek Jeong-woon went to kill the leader of Rebellion, he would only feel anxious.
It didn’t happen in the original content, but I thought the outcome had already been decided.
‘Hopefully, Rebellion might be destroyed. Let’s check that first.’
Seo Hyun-woo copies Seo-yeon Baek’s abilities just in case.
As expected, Baek Seo-yeon’s abilities were not being copied.
I wondered if that time had come a little sooner.
‘Has the archangel’s power started to be inherited by Baek Seo-yeon? At this rate, he might inherit all his powers before completing Miterichi.’
