“Ahhhh… hahahaha!”
Baek Jeong-woon bursts out laughing at the unexpected suggestion and tilts his head back.
Unlike him, Seo Hyun-woo does not change his face color and waits calmly.
Baek Seo-yeon had already finished discussing this with Seo Hyun-woo, so she just watched the situation.
“…no one has ever asked me to become an operations officer. Do you know why?”
“Because the position in charge of operations is too low for a person who is called the top of the Ganghwa system.”
In the subjugation team, there were detailed positions in addition to the team leader and the vice-team leader.
Operations officer who establishes subjugation plans and strategies, supply officer who manages equipment and food, and training officer who improves the combat power and cooperation of team members.
If the size of the subjugation team was large, the types of positions were increased, but if the size of the subjugation team was small, there were cases where only the team leader and team members were operated.
“Then why are you making such an offer to me?”
“You are too expensive to recruit for combat.”
“Are you saying that if I go into the operations officer, my price will be cheaper?”
“Can’t we just negotiate?”
“Are you going to negotiate if I have no choice but to lose?”
“I think that if you are a team leader, you have to do that.”
“It’s ridiculous.”
Baek Jeong-woon doesn’t stop smiling while saying that.
It was a daunting yet absurd proposition.
What is it that you feel sorry for and become the operations manager of a subjugation team?
“Originally, I would have refused at once, but let’s hear about the conditions.”
“Excluding the cost of maintaining and operating the subjugation team, we plan to distribute it equally among the team members.”
“… you say that it is divided equally without any conditions?”
“Because you are Hunter Baek Jeong-woon, I am giving you this condition. I don’t know of any subjugation team that pays the operations officer this amount.”
Baek Jeong-woon quickly recognizes what Seo Hyeon-woo is aiming for and smirks.
Perhaps he was trying to get help from him by forming a subjugation team with a small number of elites.
I was working in the subjugation safety planning department, so there was no connection to the work.
“It’s getting worse. Was it worth it to your subjugation team?”
“It’s worth it. I have received promises from several current student council executives. And the subjugation team that Saint White is organizing has also decided to join us.”
“what? You’re not lying, are you?”
“It’s not a lie. Conditionally, the team leader will be decided between me and the white saint.”
Baek Jeong-woon frowned and turned his gaze to Baek Seo-yeon.
Baek Seo-yeon was listening to Seo Hyun-woo with an indifferent expression on her face.
‘Still, I told Seoyeon everything. That’s how much I believe in Seoyeon.’
Although Baek Jeong-woon was satisfied with the fact, he thought that a small amount of anxiety would arise.
Seo Hyun-woo was doing reckless things without any hesitation.
Even a white saint was not enough, so it was not something only Yoo Jin-seop could do to recruit himself.
‘I’m starting to look more and more like Yoo Jin-seop. What the hell are you trying to do?’
Yoo Jin-seop swept all the dungeons in Korea with only four team members including himself.
There was no set method, no hesitation or fear.
I just went ahead and killed the monsters.
As the rest of the team followed the flow, the subjugation was not over at some point.
“…just because there’s a white saint, there’s no reason for me to be the operations officer.”
“You are right. I just made a suggestion, and the choice is up to Hunter Baek Jeong-woon.”
“It’s a proposition not worth thinking about for me.”
“Nothing has been decided with certainty yet. The vice president may change his mind later.”
In fact, Baek Jeong-woon was not included in Seo Hyun-woo’s plan.
I just thought that I might be able to get help once or twice through Baek Seo-yeon, just like in the Rebellion raid.
However, it was only recently that he changed his mind, and did not he come to the conclusion that he had to recruit Baek Jeong-woon?
‘I can’t get my hands on the details of the subjugation plan. You should leave this to the pros.’
Of course, even if it wasn’t Baek Jeong-woon, Shin Da-hee and Park Tae-young’s plans to subjugate were able to see enough.
However, they too had to directly engage in the dungeon subjugation, so they couldn’t fully assume the job of operations manager.
Looking for a reliable and experienced person, I came to Baek Jeong-woon.
‘Hopefully, I can join the subjugation team. It’s better to watch it yourself than to entrust Baek Seo-yeon to someone else.’
Seo Hyun-woo was thinking of using Baek Jeong-woon’s psychology.
According to the original content, Baek Seo-yeon would join Jin-ha Kang’s subjugation team, and Baek Jeong-woon would test Kang Jin-ha directly.
If we compare it as it is, the subject was changed from Kang Jin-ha to himself.
‘At first glance, I think Baek Jeong-woon recognized me. So even if you say you’re taking Baek Seo-yeon with you, you don’t object.’
In other words, if you look at the conclusion, it means that you have already passed the test.
As long as there were no accidents related to Baek Seo-yeon until he graduated from Miterichi, he would have been standing by in the future.
Besides, there was still about a year left, so Baek Jeong-woon could also consider the offer.
“As for the White Saint, I will find out for myself. It’s not that I don’t trust you. If you want to recruit Seo-yeon, you have to have a solid basis.”
“Yes. I think that’s right too. If you have a chance, I think you should contact Saint White.”
Baek Jeong-woon looks at Baek Seo-yeon with worried eyes and then turns his head.
It was the path Baek Seo-yeon chose for herself, and Seo Hyeon-woo was able to trust even a little bit.
If even a white saint joined in, a pretty plausible subjugation team would have been created.
‘I thought young people were gathering together and pretending to be heroes, but they had a pretty good assortment. If that’s enough, I think I can make an excuse for going in…’
***
Inside the student council president’s office.
The second summer vacation was over, and Seo Hyun-woo returned to his daily life.
In the meantime, Miterichi had closed the school, but electronic documents were piled up.
When I was on break, I missed the work of the student council, but when I got my hands on the work of the student council, I wondered if my head was pounding.
‘After dealing with the Invoker, the battle for the president awaits. Can we draw a draw with Jinha Kang?’
Seo Hyun-woo was trying not to touch the parts that were directly related to Kang Jin-ha.
So, he left Jin-ha Kang and the heroines to meet, and he somehow put Jin-ha Kang into various incidents.
But looking back now, it didn’t seem like it meant much.
‘I solved almost all the big cases… I made Baek Seo-yeon and Ryu Seon-hwa on my side. At this point, can’t I be seen as the main character too?’
Seo Hyeon-woo has a vain dream and then comes to his senses.
No matter how good he was, he could not replace Kang Jin-ha.
Jin-ha Kang would be Yoo Jin-seop’s successor, and he would grow even more in the future.
Wouldn’t it be more realistic to have two main characters like Kang Jin-ha?
‘The other variables that can be said are Baek Seo-yeon and the apostles.’
Seo Hyun-woo was still thinking about a rank battle with Baek Seo-yeon.
Baek Seo-yeon was growing slowly after inheriting the power of the Archangel.
If he reached the right time, he was sure to try to usurp the seat of the student council president.
‘I don’t think Shin Da-hee has approached Kang Jin-ha yet. After all, Shin Da-hee also completely deviated from the heroine side.’
According to the description, Da-hee Shin had to be connected with Jin-ha Kang as she passed through several incidents.
However, because Seo Hyun-woo intervened in the middle, the flow was broken, and the subject was changed.
‘If you think about it carefully, Da-hee Shin doesn’t have as much importance as Seo-yeon Baek. If you don’t need Kang Jin-ha, it’s better for me to take him.’
Weight, influence, subordinate forces, actual combat power.
Looking at all of this, Seo-yeon Baek and Da-hee Shin belonged to the top ranks.
However, Jinha Kang unintentionally turned away from those two people, and the result was a loss of power.
Without Seo Hyun-woo, they probably wouldn’t be able to use their power properly.
‘It’s been about a year now. If you focus well, the 3rd Undead and 4th Hell will be fine…’
smart.
Seo-yeon Baek entered the student council president’s office with a file folder in her hand.
Seo Hyun-woo immediately notices the contents of the file and moves to the sofa.
“Isn’t it about the battle for the manager and the festival?”
“As you are well aware, the relevant regulations have become a little stricter. That’s why we have more work to do.”
Baek Seo-yeon divides the file folder in half and places them in front of Seo Hyun-woo and herself.
Seo Hyun-woo lightly scans the file folder and immediately puts it down on the table.
“Security agents and members of the security department must be on standby at all times… The committee must also dispatch a hunter.”
“I know that too.”
“Aside from that, this rule also applies to training dungeon subjugation, dungeon practice, and the battle for the venue.”
“you’re right.”
The rules added this time should be seen as the result of the Rebellion and the Kraxis Church.
They had invaded Miterich for their own purposes and threatened the students’ safety, so they mobilized the committee to take action.
Of course, there will be no attacks from the two groups in the future, but the policy of preparing for it would not change.
“We just need to check and report, but the security department manager will have a bit of a hard time.”
“So, didn’t the president say that the security department and the security department would increase the number of people?”
“It will not be as easy as you think. We don’t have enough budget, and it will take some time for the personal investigation.”
“There are also voices saying that the battle for the manager and the battle for the president should be completely eliminated.”
“I wish I had. When we have less work, we can feel a little more comfortable.”
“…”
Baek Seo-yeon agrees with the statement, but does not express it separately.
It was not something to be viewed in a positive light as unsavory issues were intertwined.
Above all else, the scramble meant to give all students a fair chance, so it should not be abolished carelessly.
“I think the position of the manager will change a little.”
“Is that so? In my opinion, it will not be easy because the level of the managers is high.”
“Just because the level is high doesn’t necessarily mean you win.”
“…Did you find a student who could be the head of the department?”
“The time has come for Kang Jin-ha to become the manager. Now I have to prepare to fight Kang Jin-ha.”
