Seo Hyun-woo takes his eyes off the monitor and sips his teacup.
There were still many monsters that had to be removed, and Rebellion and Kraxis were not completely disintegrated either.
Besides, I had to change the ending, which was different from the original content, so I had to be more careful.
‘Jinha Kang, Setinos Hunters, and some Black Hunters. Wouldn’t this be enough to make it to the Knights of the Abyss?’
As in the past, Seo Hyun-woo was always revising his plans and improving the level of perfection.
How will the damage of allies be reduced, what methods will be used to defeat the enemy, and how should you proceed?
In addition, he had been thinking every day, considering how to expand his power and network while also considering how his colleagues could become stronger.
‘Nikerai will show up on its own. I just need a little help there.’
One of the three great undead, the Shinigami Nikerai, did not attack humans except in special cases, and did not cause any damage to the surroundings.
However, the Yellow Dragon had a personal grudge, so he would be the first to appear.
Seo Hyun-woo was planning to actively use this part to check the Yellowy Dragon.
‘There is still time. The time should be roughly after the MT is over.’
Seo Hyun-woo was not very anxious about what he did after the rank battle with Kang Jin-ha.
He had passed the most dangerous hurdle, and his sense of crisis had become dull as he had been through various events.
It meant that he had accumulated experience, and since there were more elements that could be used, he would be able to respond flexibly to whatever he did.
‘Then, in the meantime, I’ll take a little break and organize my thoughts. Yoo Jin-seop said he had something to give me…’
smart.
Seo Hyun-woo headed to the coffee pot as soon as he heard the knock.
Baek Seo-yeon glanced at Seo Hyun-woo once and immediately sat down on the sofa.
“The student council is said to be reorganized.”
“Are you here to say that the new managers might threaten my position?”
“I do not know. You are an unofficial black hunter, who would dare take over the seat of the student council president?”
“Once you are there.”
“Why am I coming out of there?”
“You’re the only one who can match me?”
“It sounds boring now.”
“I am only telling the truth.”
Seo Hyun-woo answers slowly and brings Baek Seo-yeon a cup of tea.
Simultaneously with the reorganization of the student council, all current managers were scheduled to be transferred to the student council’s exclusive secretariat.
In addition, the positions that were divided into six were reduced to four, and the current secretary would be promoted to general manager.
Because the student council system had been fixed for too long, Han Yu-jeong took special measures.
“Probably the new managers won’t ask me for Ranked Battles. You can’t afford me.”
“It seems to be getting back to the way it was before.”
“Are you telling the truth? Even Kang Jin-ha, who had the potential, could not defeat me. You should be able to do anything.”
“Are you elevating yourself or are you encouraging me?”
“Both. I feel confident now.”
“In my opinion, you have always been confident.”
“Not necessarily. I’ve always been afraid of everything. After defeating Jinha Kang, I felt a little more at ease.”
“ha…”
Baek Seo-yeon shakes her head and raises her teacup.
Even if Seo Hyun-woo copied one ability, it was not easy to win.
However, if they copied one more from there, they would experience a terrifying defeat, let alone a draw.
“I’m not confident I can beat you.”
“You may feel that way.”
“I have already given up on winning, and if I become stronger there, what should I do?”
“If you go with me, you can become stronger. So, please join the subjugation team.”
“That’s what you call it now…”
Baek Seo-yeon is unable to speak and keeps her mouth shut.
Seo Hyun-woo has been proving himself little by little, beyond the level of the student council president, that he is a competent person worthy of an unofficial black hunter.
He and the student council executives knew that, so he would never turn his back on Seo Hyun-woo.
“Not much left now. Five or six months left?”
“Since you enrolled in October, it seems that there is only about that left.”
“Because it’s the last days, my work is getting smaller and smaller. I’ve worked hard all this time, so I need to rest a bit.”
After the reorganization of the student council, the duties of the student council president and vice-student council president were to be shared by the exclusive secretarial office and the heads of each department.
It was intended to completely separate some specialized parts while maintaining the existing document review and management tasks.
In other words, after the current department heads became the secretaries of the exclusive secretariat, they were to assist the existing department heads and the student council in general.
“…it’s the last one, so you can enjoy it.”
Baek Seo-yeon gave a lonely look and answered somewhat bluntly.
When there was a meeting, there was bound to be a parting.
Seo Hyun-woo, as well as himself, had to leave Miterichi at some point.
Above all, Seo Hyun-woo deserved compensation because he made many contributions while faithfully performing his duties.
“Are you already sad that I’m leaving?”
“Is it possible? I will be very happy to be able to become the student council president, even for a short time, when the president completes the course.”
“Now I’m joking. It only makes you feel uncomfortable when you become the president like that.”
“Can’t you just pretend you don’t know? I have to do something like this to become the student council president!”
Baek Seo-yeon threw her last pride and raised her voice.
If I had acted as usual, I would never have said such a thing.
He had already acknowledged Seo Hyun-woo, and had seen his limitations, so he took out the last resort.
“You can’t pretend you don’t know even though you know. If it’s a friend, it’s even more so.”
Seo Hyun-woo could not have done such a cruel thing to Baek Seo-yeon.
Knowing that he wasn’t happy, he said it on purpose.
It wasn’t meant to be a mockery, it was just to convey that he understood his heart in this way.
“…do you think I’m wrong?”
“It’s not wrong. Rather, in a way, he is honest and dignified. You wouldn’t want to say that in front of me either.”
“That’s what I said for a while. It was also an acknowledgment of my incompetence.”
“I don’t think you are incompetent. you did your best I’ve been keeping this place for myself. There were just a few things that didn’t fit with each other.”
Seo Hyun-woo did not have to lose his position as the student council president, and Baek Seo-yeon wanted to become the student council president.
A cooperative relationship was formed by understanding each other’s characteristics and limitations in the process.
“If you had been sarcastic, I would have felt a little more at ease.”
“I don’t really want to. There is no reason for that.”
Seo Hyun-woo realizes anew that Baek Seo-yeon is on his side.
Even Archangel Runne was unaware that this world had begun again.
How different will the Baek Seo-yeon next to you be from the Baek Seo-yeon of the previous world?
‘… Then, in theory, Baek Seo-yeon is stronger than Kang Jin-ha, right? How can a human defeat an archangel?’
***
Inside the space beyond the gate.
Seo Hyun-woo followed Yoo Jin-seop and was heading somewhere.
This space was created by Jin-seop Yoo himself, and the way it was used was similar to the ability to create a gate.
However, this space was not a dungeon but consisted of a bright hallway.
In other words, it should be seen that a separate space was created through another method, not the ability to create a gate.
‘Is this the place where certain materials are stored?’
Seo Hyun-woo looked around and admired the exterior of the hallway for a moment.
There was a red carpet on the floor, and the white wallpaper was glistening.
The garden could be seen through the window, but the scenery did not change even if the viewing position changed.
Above all, there was no door on the wall, so it was like wandering through a maze.
‘I don’t get the power like Kang Jin-ha, so I’m going to give it something else.’
In the original content, Jin-seop Yoo was supposed to hand over his power to the same orthodox successor, Jin-ha Kang.
That power had to be passed on to the successor of the next era, as it passed through one era after Yoo Jin-Seop.
Seo Hyeon-woo also met the conditions, but it should be considered that it was actually manipulated because the copying ability was involved.
‘Is there something I can use?’
All the items stored in this space were loot obtained from monsters.
When the monsters that originally appeared in this world die, they leave behind a common mana stone.
However, if you find a dungeon that does not appear in this world and enter it, you can get a specific substance from a monster, not a magic stone.
In addition, Jinseop Yoo had only the loot he had obtained from monsters of level 3 or higher, so his value was quite high.
‘I think you’ll know once you see it…’
“I heard about you from Yoojung. You said you did a lot of things at a young age?”
“It’s not worthy of work. I was just helping out a little.”
“The words of courtesy are here. Shall we go straight to the point? It would not be possible to use all four types of abilities with just one copy ability.”
Yoo Jin-seop was going to check a few facts before handing the goods to Seo Hyun-woo.
No matter how many people recognized him, and his skills were outstanding, if he did not like him, it would be meaningless.
“You can make two copies now.”
“Since when have you been able to make two copies?”
“I was able to use it during a ranked battle with Jinha Kang, who was a student of Miterichi.”
Yoo Jin-seop stopped immediately and looked back.
It was hard to believe that his abilities had improved even further while fighting his orthodox successor, Kang Jin-ha.
In a sense, it may be seen as another successor.
“Jungwoon hyung and Yoojung seem to be looking at you pretty well.”
“I haven’t done much, but I’m just thankful that you look after me.”
“I tend to trust my intuition rather than the judgment of others. That alone has survived.”
Yoo Jin-seop looks at Seo Hyun-woo with magic in his eyes.
I wondered if he had the qualifications, and the magic that flowed out was quite unique.
Besides, I felt a sense of alienation, so I was a little wary.
“The ability to copy is very rare. And little by little, that ability is growing. He doesn’t seem to have a bad personality.”
“Compared to Kang Jin-ha?”
“… Jinha Kang is similar to you, but fundamentally different. I think you already know.”
Seo Hyun-woo tries to answer that he doesn’t know at once, but then swallows silence.
There was nothing that he and Kang Jin-ha had in common.
There was just a main character who always had to be strong, and a character who had just started breaking out of the mid-boss.
“Take only one thing you want. If necessary, I can turn them into combat gear.”
