Choi Seung-ho was linking almost everything that happened in this subjugation to Seo Hyun-woo.
Of course, it was a vague conjecture, and there was no solid evidence.
I just had to look back one by one of the deeds that Seo Hyun-woo left so far.
‘We fought together with demons, and even Kang Yu-jin became stronger. Red was used in a large battle suit, and Baek Seo-yeon showed her skills for the first time. Shouldn’t all this be a coincidence?’
Choi Seung-ho immediately denied the question he had asked himself.
It couldn’t have been a coincidence.
Wouldn’t it be more natural to think that he acted intentionally and led all the events?
‘Maybe a new era is coming. Setinos hunters must have already noticed.’
Choi Seung-ho looks out the window and feels something boiling.
The scenery outside the window was always the same, and there was no change in the citizens living in that world.
However, recently, certain religious groups or terrorist groups have appeared, and first-class monsters have been continuously appearing.
Perhaps this is also a sign for change to take place.
‘I’ve always dreamed of change. So I overturned the committee, and a guy like Jung Woo-jin was appointed as the vice chairperson.’
Choi Seung-ho was always in conflict between reason and instinct and made impulsive judgments.
Someone who can break free from the old era and move on to a new era, balancing the biased environment, and stop one’s own monopoly.
It was the chairperson’s job, and no one else would be able to produce such a result.
‘What we need is not a guy like Yoo Jin-seop. Setinos Hunters and Black Hunters are a little better, but that’s not enough.’
Choi Seung-ho was looking for an answer little by little.
Young blood, selfishness of a civilization that does not depend on awakening, a society that is becoming unstable.
It was only after crisis and chaos that the transformation took place.
‘The student council president of Miterich, the president of Absolute Inc., a lot of risk factors. I don’t know about other countries, but Korea will be one step ahead.’
Choi Seung-ho closed the window and slowly walked towards the chairperson’s office.
Aside from Korea, signs of anomalies were already starting to appear in other countries.
Perhaps this world would soon be met with an even greater calamity.
‘It shouldn’t be like this… but I’m really looking forward to it. How will this country change by the time I die?’
It was not an idea that a chairperson should have.
Rather, they became more afraid and anxious, and had to prepare for unexpected situations.
But it was also one of the processes of development, and it was nothing more than a stepping stone to reach perfection.
‘In the dark, the light shines brighter. Who will be the light?’
***
It had been a week since the summer vacation started.
The training dungeon subjugation and Kitter Day ended quietly as if there had ever been such a thing.
Seo Hyun-woo had about two months left until the completion of Miterichi, so it was effectively his last vacation.
The students in the exclusive secretariat were also aware of this fact, so they were not very enthusiastic about group training.
“It seems like everyone doesn’t want to train.”
Seo Hyun-woo, who was running in the lead, stopped and looked back.
Except for Baek Seo-yeon, all of them were not in their proper positions.
Baek Seo-yeon took a deep breath and looked at Seo Hyun-woo.
“It’s kind of like that. The president will be graduating from Miterichi soon, right?”
“I can’t concentrate.”
“Anyway, we’ll be graduating soon, so I don’t think it’s a big deal.”
All five of us here would have completed Miterich in at least six months.
It was only Seo Hyun-woo who completed the course the fastest among them.
“What do you think, Vice President? Should I stop training sooner or later?”
“… I think we need to work harder at times like this.”
Baek Seo-yeon gave a consistent answer and did not see even a small change.
But he was just not showing it, and in reality he was a little shaken.
A feeling of emptiness for some reason, a feeling of helplessness that I couldn’t defeat Seo Hyun-woo in the end, and the regret of breaking up.
Even though we would meet outside Miterichi anyway, I couldn’t let go of these feelings.
“Um… it’s still the same. great. From now on until the end of the vacation, there will be no group training.”
“Uh… what?”
“suddenly?”
“Are you serious?”
Irev asked Baek Seo-yeon while glancing at her.
As usual, Seo Hyun-woo would have to support Baek Seo-yeon’s opinion and inspire the training atmosphere.
However, because the opposite result was obtained, not everyone was convinced.
“It’s the last vacation I enjoy, so I should take a little rest. Wouldn’t it be the same for you?”
“It is, but…”
“After all, you have to train harder, right?”
Except for Baek Seo-yeon, everyone was in favor of it.
Seo Hyun-woo slowly drinks the water bottle and waits for Baek Seo-yeon to answer.
“…if the president says so, it would be right to follow.”
Seo-yeon Baek wipes the sweat from her forehead with a lonely expression on her face.
No one in this position could gain anything from group training.
It only meant that they were united with each other and maintained their physical strength on a regular basis.
“Let’s take a break and go have lunch. This time I will live.”
“In commemoration of graduating from Miterichi first, right?”
“There’s something like that… I’m trying to brag a little because I’ve been through a lot.”
“Oh… so can I expect a slightly more expensive menu?”
“I’ll have to ask my wallet about that.”
Seo Hyun-woo joked lightly and headed towards the shade.
Se-hee Jin and Irev returned to the dormitory first, and Jae-yeon Choi moved slowly while thinking about the lunch menu.
Baek Seo-yeon seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then approached Seo Hyun-woo.
“…why didn’t you say anything?”
Seo Hyun-woo opened his mouth first as soon as Baek Seo-yeon came.
After hearing those words, Seo-yeon Baek traces her memory and immediately recalls what she said.
“It seemed the president wanted it.”
“Um… that makes sense. I didn’t show off like that, did I?”
“Then you were thinking differently?”
“What should I say? I thought you would be a little more aggressive in opposing it.”
“…?”
Baek Seo-yeon could not understand Seo Hyun-woo for a very short time, but then opened her eyes wide.
This meant that Hyeonu was intentionally lying to make up his mind.
On the surface, he deceived himself, but on the other hand, it should have been seen that he believed in him.
“There was no need for you to do that.”
“right. There’s no point in doing this. Maybe it’s time for graduation, so I’m starting to get a little weird.”
“… you must be disappointed that I couldn’t do what you wanted.”
“It’s not disappointing. I just thought you were following what I said.”
Baek Seo-yeon acknowledged the words in her heart and sat down next to Seo Hyun-woo.
It wasn’t as bad as before, and they even promised to work on the same subjugation team.
Above all else, no matter what Hyun-woo Seo does, he produces good results, so doesn’t blind faith arise?
“That’s how much I have changed.”
“If you say you have changed, why are you still using respect for me?”
“…I am comfortable with this.”
Baek Seo-yeon hesitated for a moment, then quickly answered.
Now, if I had to come and talk in a friendly way, it would only make it awkward.
Probably, he would never be able to change his tone of speech until Seo Hyun-woo completed Miterichi.
“If you say that, it looks like I’m holding onto you while giving you a friend’s fee, don’t you?”
“If you give me more friend fee, I will think about it.”
“Do you know how to joke too?”
“I haven’t been able to afford it. I lived my life as if I was being chased by someone. How important is the seat of the student council president?”
Of course, he only gave up his seat as the student council president.
I still had very little thoughts of defeating Seo Hyun-woo.
Now wasn’t the time, just looking a little further afield.
“You didn’t even give up your goal of defeating me, did you?”
“I do not know. It has faded a little.”
“Why are you so insecure? You did well in Munsusan, didn’t you?”
“I am well aware that that is not enough.”
“With that kind of logic, I would have been lacking for a while.”
“…if you have a conscience, you shouldn’t say such things.”
“…”
Seo Hyun-woo, at a loss for words, drinks a bottle of water one after another.
Even conscience could not be denied.
Because he had already defeated Jin-Ha Kang in the battle for the president, and he was able to duplicate his abilities twice.
‘You have to be strong enough to have no conscience before you can do anything. From that point of view, did Baek Seo-yeon have no conscience from the beginning?’
***
It was 20 days after the summer vacation started.
Since all schedules related to group training disappeared, Seo Hyun-woo was able to take a proper rest.
However, it quickly became boring, and there were less conversations, so there was inevitably a little emptiness.
Of course, there were people I had to meet in the midst of this, so I was coming out to the city from time to time.
“I’m calling now, so will you come right away?”
“I know you are struggling on your own. Sometimes you have to show your face.”
Seo Hyun-woo savored the taste of ice cream and answered calmly.
The Demonis team was close to the subjugation team he was running secretly.
He was actually doing something illegal, but no one had noticed yet.
“Not to that extent. My teammates are suffering more than me.”
Ryu Seon-hwa looks down on the ice floating on the coffee cup and shows a grim expression.
He was always making plans and giving orders.
The team members believed in themselves and risked their lives, and they have been subjugating the dungeons stably and faithfully.
“…something seems to have changed.”
“Are you going to change? what?”
“You don’t say anything different than usual.”
“is it? I don’t know.”
Ryu Seon-hwa is relaxed and sucks the coffee with a straw.
Seo Hyun-woo was engulfed in a sense of heterogeneity, but he couldn’t help but ask more about that part.
‘Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Originally, I had to ask them to play with me while making useless noises.’
Seo Hyun-woo was puzzled and took a large bite of the ice cream.
His voice had subsided, and he couldn’t even find his eyes tinged with madness.
It was almost as if he had attained enlightenment and started a new life.
‘Have you been brainwashed? There’s no way…’
The brainwashing that the Archbishop of the Kraxis Church had put was not easily solved.
Only when the archbishop directly used his abilities or an awakened person like Shin Da-hee intervened could he break free from that bondage.
In the original story, didn’t Ryu Seon-hwa’s brainwashing completely disappear only after Kang Jin-ha helped?
“I did some thinking.”
“Hmm… what were you thinking?”
“In the meantime, you must have been burdened by me.”
“Uh… huh?”
“Maybe you don’t like me either. So I’m trying to get out of the Demonis team… What do you think?”
