Irev felt these emotions and provoked Baek Seo-yeon at least once.
But those feelings quickly faded, and I no longer became obsessed with them.
It is because Baek Seo-yeon and Seo Hyeon-woo have a working and friendly relationship, but never crossed that line.
‘Maybe I’m reacting too sensitively. Could it be that we are simply acquaintances?’
Irev quickly calmed down, but his sharp eyes remained the same.
Doubts, once created, do not disappear easily.
A pounding anxiety and something twisted were constantly stabbing in my heart.
“it’s okay? You also look very bad.”
“I… me? How’s my face?”
“What should I say? Eyes looking for food? Feeling a little angry?”
“Why would I be angry? You must have seen it wrong.”
Irev smiles hard, clearing his inner doubts.
I just couldn’t be swayed by this.
It’s not over yet, and there are plenty of opportunities.
“You could have made a face like that. I knew it first.”
“Is it that weird?”
“No, it’s not strange. Rather, I feel fortunate.”
“If it’s different from your usual appearance, don’t you think it’s usually weird?”
“That is normal. Wouldn’t life be enriched only by experiencing various emotions?”
“…”
Irev tilts his head, understanding Seo Hyun-woo’s words, even if it’s faint.
It made sense, but it wasn’t necessarily true.
Because the higher the range of changes in emotions, the more uneven the life is.
“How is that woman?”
“It could be my misunderstanding, but I don’t think I can feel it. I don’t know if it was because I was shocked or if there was another reason.”
“Isn’t that supposed to go to a psychiatric hospital?”
“I don’t think it’s that much. Did you laugh well when you talked to me?”
“Oh my…”
Irev can barely stand the distortion of his face and sucks the coffee through a straw.
At this point, it’s not about doubting, it’s about having confidence.
He must have been pretending to be sick and acting like a fox.
“I really want to meet someone.”
“I will see you soon. Hopefully, he will join our subjugation team.”
“It’s such a pleasure…”
Irev thought that the thought of seeing the woman’s face had already fueled his enthusiasm.
There were a lot of things that were questionable to see it as a simple friendship.
“It doesn’t necessarily mean it will come. I don’t know what you’re thinking.”
“If you are interested in the president, wouldn’t you think about it?”
“Um… that’s a bit vague. Something has changed.”
“What has changed?”
“I used to trust myself too much, but now… um… It’s just not a relationship? I guess it is.”
“…?”
Irev tried to understand the meaning of the words, letting go of the jealousy he had been holding on to.
Can the relationship change after going through a funeral for one of the team members?

Maybe Seo Hyun-woo had sympathy for that woman.“Actually, I didn’t want to tell anyone about this. I was wondering if it would be okay with you, so I asked.”
“Aha… You don’t know how to feel about women, so you asked the same woman, didn’t you?”
“You sometimes say something profound, don’t you? I thought you might know something about that.”
“So you have faith in me?”
“I always believe.”
“That… I have to apologize one more time.”
Irev is embarrassed and throws his jealousy and anger right away.
It was so embarrassing that Seo Hyun-woo was mistaken because he looked away for a moment.
If the person Seo Hyun-woo was worried about was a man, could he have thought like this?
“suddenly? why?”
“I won’t tell you why. I am ashamed.”
“Are you shy? I can’t even imagine.”
“…what do you think of me?”
“A girl who is pure yet confident? So sometimes I feel like a little sister.”
“Uh…”
Irev feels another emotion and is unable to speak.
The words girl and sister indirectly meant young and naive.

Maybe Seo Hyun-woo sees himself as a delicate and fragile being.“Brother, buy me some rice. I am hungry.”
“… I asked you to call me Grandma before.”
“Your sister can’t look that old.”
“Did you say sometimes?”
“I am also a soft and delicate girl at heart.”
“Aren’t you a little fickle too?”
“Shall we call it free spirited rather than capricious?”
“You’re going to be bored.”
Seo Hyun-woo got up first with a smile on his face.
Irev follows him with a light footstep, recalling the woman who was the subject of the conversation.
‘If the president cares, he’ll have quite a bit of skill, right? He must have looked pretty… It seems that the number of enemies is increasing.’
***
The first day of succession.
Summer vacation passed in vain, and there was a battle for the manager, but it was reduced to a mana event.
After this succession festival was over, he would have to face the knight of the abyss.
Seo Hyun-woo was walking around the square where the succession festival was being held, thinking about Ryu Seon-hwa and the Knights of the Abyss.
‘Ryu Seon-hwa was recently promoted to Purple Hunter. I have enough skills… Can I fight in the current state?’
There was a great connection between Ryu Seon-hwa and the Knight of the Abyss.
It was like a prank of fate, and I couldn’t even figure out the reason for such a result.
‘The knight of the abyss also has the key to the underworld. You must have Ryu Seon-hwa.’
The key to the underworld was an object that could weaken the monsters belonging to the 4 Hells.
It was a specific substance that even Yoo Jin-seop could not find, and like a holy relic, only one was found.
Only Ryu Seon-hwa could obtain that power and the key to the underworld from the knight of the abyss.
‘I’m good at passing kraxis, so this becomes a problem again. I have to roll my head until I die…’
“You won’t tell me what your troubles are. How can I help you?”
Baek Seo-yeon, who was walking side by side, looked around and spoke calmly.
Now, just by looking at Seo Hyun-woo’s expression and actions, I thought I could guess what he was thinking.
I know it’s meaningless, but I had to express it like this in order to soothe my frustrated heart.
“Just being by my side like this will help enough.”
“…that’s not stellar.”
“It’s a huge stall for me. you have a sense of stability It is well balanced.”
“You’re only saying strange things.”
“In a word, it’s good. very good.”
“…”
Baek Seo-yeon glances at Seo Hyun-woo, then shakes her head.
It seemed like he was talking without thinking, but it seemed to have a subtle meaning.
Perhaps even this was misunderstood.
“Are we both enjoying this festival for the first time? I would like to hear from you.”
Until last year’s Succession Festival, Seo Hyeon-woo and Baek Seo-yeon were all about guarding the festival operation headquarters and occasionally patrolling.
But for this festival, I was able to get away from the work and see the festival properly.
This should also be regarded as a special instruction from the chairman and a small consideration.
“I was expecting a little bit, but it’s still banal and uninteresting.”
“It is true that there is no interest. I can do all of that.”
Seo Hyeon-woo answered calmly and glanced around.
The reinforcement part, the shape part, the transformation part, and the attribute part were holding events in line with their characteristics and traditions.
However, from the standpoint of Seo Hyun-woo, he was able to follow along even if he only saw it once, so he quickly became bored.
“It sounds like you’re bragging about your ability to copy.”
“It’s bragging. Don’t you think I’m great?”
“Huh… I hate to admit it because you’re so arrogant, but you’re right.”
“Can you make two copies? I think I can do both events at the same time with both hands.”
Seo Hyun-woo moved his hands lightly and answered slyly.
Of course, this was a joke, and I didn’t even think to imitate the events.
For a brief moment, I felt at ease, so I just played around with whatever came to my mind.
“Um… maybe even three if I’m good at it. Oh no. All four of you can do it.”
“It would be possible if we copied Jinha Kang’s abilities and Ganghwa’s abilities at the same time.”
“Can I show you one more time? You can use your abilities in the training room or training ground.”
Baek Seo-yeon listens to those words for a moment and recalls what she saw in the battle for the president.
The memory of the white ice fox ears and nine tails lingered deep in my mind.
If I could see Seo Hyun-woo before graduating from Miterich, I thought it would be a little bit of a lingering feeling.
“…it would be good to take a look at it at least once.”
“I can show you two or three times if you want.”
“Not to that extent. I don’t like to brag about it.”
“You look bad. I thought you would understand this kind of bluff between you and me.”
“Hmmm… I knew that, so I said that. Can’t I even play a joke?”
Seo-yeon Baek makes up her own words and naturally passes this situation.
He knew he was joking, but he couldn’t make a clear distinction.
He was speaking carefully in his own way, because if he received it the wrong way, it would only make the atmosphere worse.
“I thought it was sincere…”
“It must have looked like that. I hardly ever change my expression.”
“is it?”
“It’s like that.”
Seo Hyun-woo nodded his head slowly and headed towards the event hall of the transformation department.
Baek Seo-yeon breathes a shallow sigh and relieves the tension later.
I thought I should learn how to read Seo Hyun-woo’s mood first.
“Oh, yes. I said two Setinos Hunters were coming.”
“You mean here?”
“He said he had something to talk to me. He told me to bring you too, if possible.”
“If you are looking for me and the president at this time, isn’t that the only way?”
“Probably right. Maybe my predictions are wrong…”
Weighing, weighing.
As soon as Seo Hyun-woo heard the vibration, he immediately took out his smartphone.
Just in time, Setinos Hunter, who was supposed to come to Miterichi, had been contacted.
“Are you here already? Yes, I will be there soon.”
Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon entered the animal cafe, an event venue for the transformation club.
Inside, the members of the transformation department were busy moving with their abilities open.
The two greeted the students one by one and approached the Setinos Hunters.
“I’ll be here soon when I call.”
“Are you here for a reason?”
“Actually, I was a little bored. There is still time, so I just came here once.”
“Weren’t you trying to recruit those two?”
“Um… I’m craving it a little bit. Shall we re-create a subjugation team at this time?”
“…”
Kang Yu-jin frowns slightly at the thought that he brought it up in a nonsensical way.
Although Yoon Se-in worked alone, there was nothing that prevented him from forming a subjugation team.
Because he had enough influence and fame.
‘Oh, you can’t lose it. Should I try another method?’
