Seo Hyun-woo looks at Irev and slowly calms his anger.
Objectively, there was nothing wrong with Irev.
In the video, the basilisk quickly crossed the gate and swallowed Irev.
There was no way Irev could deal with it, and even surviving this way was close to a miracle.
“…I will do as the President says.”
“You will be managed by me from now on. Go home, pack all your things, and come to the team’s dorm. Okay?”
“yes.”
“The deputy team leader and Ryu Seon-hwa go together and help us pack our things. If you feel anything strange, call us right away.”
“All right.”
“okay.”
“after…”
Seo Hyun-woo sighs and takes a step first.
Irev often glances at Seo Hyun-woo’s back and grabs Baek Seo-yeon’s shoulder.
Baek Seo-yeon, unable to shake Irev’s hands, follows Seo Hyun-woo.
“I will ask for an explanation for the fact that the committee moved separately. What would you like to do?”
“Isn’t it enough to report that we took precautionary measures because of the high risk of monsters? Even though the monster is dead, the committee won’t be able to say much.”
“Then how should we report on Irev?”
“I am a little worried about that too. Should we discuss it with Hyunwoo?”
Dahee Shin began to walk slowly, immersed in her worries.
Irev did not simply use his slime transformation ability.
Even the color of the slime had changed because it was not enough to put the divided body back together.
It must have been that his abilities were transformed through a special process.
‘The committee guessed it was a level 2 or higher monster. If it’s first class…’
Irev had been eaten by a basilisk, and of course he had decided that he would have died.
However, Irev survived as a red slime, and even killed the basilisk.
In other words, the higher the level of the monster, the stronger Irev is, so I needed to check it a little more.
‘It’s strange that the monster attacked Irev first. Why did he appear at the place where Irev is?’
From the appearance of the basilisk to its extinction, there were so many questions.
To see it as a coincidence, Irev’s presence was too conspicuous.
It’s like making a gate and intentionally approaching Irev, doesn’t it?
‘The president of the student council is also quite charismatic. I didn’t know that I would form a subjugation team right away when I heard that a team member was dead.’
Shin Da-hee did not view Seo Hyun-woo’s behavior only negatively.
Unlike in the past, there weren’t many people who threw themselves away in anger at the death of their comrades.
Above all, he quickly found out the characteristics and weaknesses of the basilisk, so he was rather curious.
‘How did you find out? The committee only knew about the appearance of monsters and the damage situation. I think he’s hiding something.’
Conjecture was slowly turning into certainty.
But there was no evidence of that.
Even if you find out the secret, what can you do?
“… the manager must have said something like that because he was worried. All you have to do is remember to be careful.”
“Yes, I know. So it must have been painful.”
Irev touches his forehead and shows a faint smile.
Until now, Seo Hyun-woo had never been angry with him and fed chestnuts.
Besides, I thought that my heart fluttered a bit because I said that I was taking care of myself.
‘You take care of me when I’m in a crisis. Ah, I want to be weak enough not to interfere with the president.’
***
Just below the top floor of the Hunter Committee, the Vice-Chairman’s Office.
The chairman’s office had to undergo repairs for the time being due to the aftermath of the battle.
As a result, Choi Seung-ho was handling various tasks in the vice-chairman’s office after receiving the consent of Jung Woo-jin.
Jung Woo-jin felt a little uncomfortable, but surprisingly, his work speed increased, so he was feeling a little bit of satisfaction.
“You’re the student council president again.”
“Isn’t that always the case?”
“Are you used to it already?”
“There is nothing to say already. Isn’t that the student council president once or twice?”
“…”
Choi Seung-ho nodded slowly, lost for words.
It was just as Woojin Jung said.
Every time Seo Hyun-woo went out, he was able to finish all the subjugations smoothly.
In addition, the damage to human life and property was less than expected, so it would have been easier to finish in many ways.
“I heard you moved first without waiting for instructions, what should I do?”
“…it was the chairman who asked me to send a video of a member of the quasar team dying.”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“Weren’t you just trying to see how the student council president reacts? You must have checked if you are qualified to become a Setinos Hunter.”
Jung Woo-jin answered calmly while keeping his gaze fixed on the monitor.
When a Hunter died, it was common to notify family and colleagues by text.
However, Choi Seung-ho not only sent a video of Irev Kanasual’s death, but also contacted him directly.
It had to be seen as a very purposeful act.
“I never thought of that. A member of the Quasar Team caught my eye, so I just let them know.”
“You gave instructions that deviated from the conventional method. Didn’t you expect me to notice that?”
“So you mean to say that I abused the chairman’s authority to do that?”
“If it is an abuse, it is an abuse. But apart from that, I think it was necessary to check beforehand.”
“You say something funny. So what conclusion did you come to?”
Jung Woo-jin puts on his glasses and gently turns his gaze away.
Then he emptied the cold teacup completely and opened his mouth slowly.
“Should I say that I’m similar to Yoo Jin-seop? I cut off contact with the committee and proceeded to subdue monsters at will. However, the subjugation ended quickly, and there were no major losses other than minor casualties and property damage.”
“… Then, should I have to culling like Yoo Jin-seop?”
Upon hearing this, Jung Woo-jin turned to Choi Seung-ho.
There was a sense of pressure in his voice, and his eyes were more serious than ever.
Perhaps it was the judgment that Seo Hyun-woo’s actions could be a threat to the committee.
“But there is something different about Jin-seop Yoo. Subjugation did not proceed until all citizens were evacuated. Yoo Jin-seop carried out subjugation unconditionally whether there were citizens or not.”
“Yoo Jin-seop has never caused any casualties.”
“It has to be approached from a different perspective. It is a matter of process, not result. No matter how good the results are, they can always be controversial if the process goes wrong. So, even though Jin-seop Yoo produced good results, he is criticized by us and some hunters.”
“But that doesn’t mean you didn’t follow the committee’s instructions.”
“Weren’t the two Setinos Hunters together? Cetinos Hunters are the Awokens representing the Council. In an emergency, Setinos Hunters or Black Hunters can form a subjugation team.”
“… Right.”
Choi Seung-ho immediately recognizes the meaning of Jung Woo-jin’s words and smirks.
Seo Hyun-woo and Yoo Jin-seop did the same thing, but there was a crucial difference.
He said that he prioritized the safety of citizens while moving with the hunters authorized by the committee.
That fact alone showed that Seo Hyun-woo was cool and had good judgment.
‘It’s different from Yoo Jin-seop. With outstanding qualities and skills, he does not try to exceed the authority of the committee.’
This was a problem for Jin-seop Yoo and a limitation of the extermination team.
Yoo Jin-seop swept the dungeon as he pleased with Baek Jeong-woon, Han Yu-jeong, and an unknown awakening person.
Of course, at that time, the committee was engulfed in bad habits, and incompetent hunters were overflowing, so their actions could not be seen as completely wrong.
However, it was a big problem externally because he did not follow the instructions of the committee and caused a dispute with several hunters.
‘I wasn’t instructed, but I didn’t break the rules. You’ve already made a hole through which you can get out.’
As the chairman, I could have asked for an explanation, but Shin Da-hee and Kang Yu-jin would come first and protect the Quasar team.
Above all, the monster subjugation was completed quickly and safely, so it might have been criticized.
“Then I’ll be fine.”
“Weren’t you trying to warn the quasar team?”
“It’s not a warning, it’s a recommendation. This and that part is a little annoying, so why not just finish it to the point where I want you to be more careful in the future?”
“You turned compliments into exhortations.”
“Where does this sound like a compliment?”
“I like it more than Jin-seop Yoo, and it probably means that I have enough qualifications to become a Setinos Hunter. Am I wrong?”
“…”
Jung Woo-jin started working again without hearing an answer.
Other Setinos Hunters wouldn’t even have to mention Seo Hyun-woo and the Quasar team.
Because he had already done a lot of work and he was a trustworthy person.
Rather, it could have been said that Seo Hyun-woo should be promoted to Setinos Hunter over this subjugation.
‘If all the Setinos Hunters agreed, I would be able to make one more seat…’
***
Inside the Quasar Team’s private residence.
After being ambushed by a basilisk, Irev Kanasual has always been with Seo Hyun-woo.
Office work, meals, light outings, training, etc.
Everything was done with Seo Hyun-woo’s permission, and Irev had to always move accordingly.
However, Irev was not in a bad mood, rather he was doing housework happily.
‘What should I do for dinner tonight?’
Irev was rummaging through the refrigerator, choosing ingredients.
There was still no one living in the dormitory except Seo Hyun-woo.
In fact, it was not used as a dormitory, but only for the purpose of having the team members take a break or have a meal together.
‘I mean, the president is still not angry. I can’t even talk.’
Even though Irev is in trouble, he doesn’t lose his smile.
In the end, I was lucky enough to survive, so over time, my anger would dissipate.
Of course, the fact that Seo Hyun-woo was angry was caused by himself, so the joy remained.
‘Oh, what should I do? I shouldn’t laugh, but I keep smiling.’
Irev cuts the meat with a cleaver, barely holding back his laughter.
Seo Hyun-woo looked at himself for the first time and was trying to tie him up in one place.
If he had even been killed by a basilisk, he would have remained in his memory forever.
‘But I don’t know. Are you doing this because you think of me as a colleague, or is it because you love me?’
Seo Hyun-woo greatly cared for his colleagues, and he valued acting safely rather than achieving results.
Therefore, as soon as they heard that a colleague was injured or dead, they took immediate action.
How would Seo Hyun-woo react if his loved one was like that?
‘It’s nice that the color of the slime changes…but it seems like it’s gotten too strong. If this were the case, I wouldn’t be able to get any attention, let alone be loved.’
