Seo Hyun-woo takes a deep breath and stops immediately.
Even before, he had transferred magical power to all of his teammates, and even wrote Rune’s blessing.
Not only his magic power, but also his stamina had run out, so he was exhausted quickly.
“hahaha…”
Even Baek Seo-yeon can’t run for a long time and barely manages to correct her disturbed breathing.
Dealing with undead trolls and chimera undead had no choice but to consume a lot of mana.
I did my best because I didn’t want to be a hindrance to Seo Hyun-woo and the other team members.
“No, you say you do it your way?”
“Haha… will you keep giving excuses?”
“Is there nothing I can say?”
“great. keep doing it I won’t even talk to you anymore.”
Baek Seo-yeon shows a cold gaze and goes back first.
Seo Hyun-woo looked at his back and then moved slowly.
‘I can’t use holy things anymore.’
Shin Da-hee looks at Seo Hyeon-woo and Baek Seo-yeon, and then turns her gaze to the sacred object embedded in the ground.
The divine power contained in the holy relics had completely disappeared.
If an undead such as Vice Rich or Abyss Knight appears again, what should be done at that time?
‘The Archangel said the world would perish. Then, a first-class monster will appear again…’
The world could not have been destroyed just like this.
Although it took a little bit of effort, it wasn’t that he couldn’t deal with first-class monsters.
Perhaps something that transcends first-class monsters will appear.
‘Then did the student council president follow the providence to come this far? To prevent the destruction of the world?’
Archangel Runne had said that he felt Baek Seo-yeon’s will from Providence.
Seo Hyun-woo participated in the subjugation of monsters since he was in Miterichi, and he had saved many lives.
If so, maybe Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon are more closely connected.
‘I don’t know what will happen in the future…’
***
About a month has passed since the Vice Rich subjugation ended.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Meanwhile, Jaeyeon Choi returned, and the subjugation of the quasar team was proceeding in an appropriate line.Rather, as the number of times the gates were created decreased as time passed, there were more cases where each subjugation team competed.
‘It’s so peaceful. Should this be considered a sign?’
Seo Hyun-woo did not leave the team leader’s office unless something special happened.
I was just assigned a dungeon as usual, and delivered a subjugation plan to my teammates.
However, recently, the number of dungeons has decreased, so team members rarely go out for subjugation.
‘It doesn’t mean that you should enjoy your last leisure before the world is destroyed…it will take some time to absorb the soul.’
Even a nete dragon could not quickly absorb two dragon souls.
In addition, there was a high probability that he hid himself in a safer place because he could be attacked by the Luminous Dragon.
If you give it a chance, maybe even the Blaine Dragon, which has absorbed the ancient dragon’s soul, can join in and deal with the Nete Dragon.
‘no. It can’t be that easy. There must be a reason why Kang Jin-ha and Kang Yu-jin died.’
He could not be vigilant in the face of the last enemy.
Rather, it could have been fortunate that the team members did not go out for subjugation.
You will be able to fight the Nete Dragon with all your preparations.
‘But after killing the nete dragon, what should I do?’
Suddenly, I wondered about the future after preventing the destruction of the world.
Gates, dungeons, and monsters could have disappeared.
Perhaps the Awoken would lose their abilities and magical powers and live like ordinary people.
When that time comes, what kind of life will he lead?
‘I can’t go back to the world I lived in… Should I prepare for my old age?’
It didn’t cost that much to run the Quasar team, as Hanhorn Industries was the sponsor.
Even if you don’t have abilities and magical powers, if only monsters don’t exist, wouldn’t you be able to live peacefully?
However, when that time comes, it would not be possible to maintain the subjugation team as it is now.
‘Everyone will be scattered. So, do I have to live a secluded life in solitude like before? Ah, that’s a bit…’
He was too young to be alone.
It didn’t seem like a bad idea to do business with some of the team members.
‘It’s best to persuade Baek Seo-yeon first…’
Seo Hyun-woo pauses for a moment and turns his head toward the office.
This is what I felt now, but whenever I tried to do something, I thought that I would start looking for Baek Seo-yeon.
‘Because tomorrow is a holiday… I may ask.’
Seo Hyun-woo linked Chocolate Talk to the computer and tapped the keyboard.
I tried to press the enter key, but I didn’t like the content a bit.
[Do U have a time?]
[What are you doing tomorrow?]
[Shall we talk?]
‘Since that day, things have gotten a little worse… is there anything good?’
Seo Hyun-woo repeats writing and erasing, making an angry expression.
In the end, Seo-yeon Baek spoke half-talkingly for a short while and then used respectful words again.
He was using a colder and more businesslike tone than ever before.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Maybe I need to tell the truth a little bit so that the misunderstanding can be resolved.‘In such a case, wouldn’t it be better to throw boldly and draw attention?’
Seo Hyun-woo thought about it for a moment, then quickly tapped the keyboard.
Then hit enter and wait for the answer to come back.
smart.
squeaky!
The door to the team leader’s room opened roughly and Baek Seo-yeon appeared.
Seo Hyun-woo gets up from his seat, satisfied with the right choice.
“Chief, why did you send this message?”
“I thought you wouldn’t pay any attention if you didn’t.”
“There was also a way to call them normally.”
“Isn’t it strange that men and women go on a date?”
“…”
Baek Seo-yeon frowns at Seo Hyun-woo’s joke, but sits down on the sofa right away.
When I saw the message that we were going on a date, I was a little shaken in my heart.
However, knowing that the words were meaningless, he came to the team leader’s office directly.
“Can you spare some time?”
“I don’t really want to give up. At least he’ll say something weird.”
“You really want to hear it? I don’t think you’ll believe me.”
“I will listen and decide whether to believe it or not. Can you tell me?”
“ha…”
Seo Hyun-woo sighs, albeit shallowly, and sits down on the sofa.
Baek Seo-yeon’s expression was hard, and her pale purple eyes were shining sharply.
Where do I have to start to understand Baek Seo-yeon?
“okay. I’ll tell you. But not now. I also have to prepare my heart.”
“Are you saying that you are preparing your heart now?”
“right. Shouldn’t we have some free time by going on a date?”
“You’re making a lot of noise asking for a date.”
“You don’t want to date me? Then I’ll see you tomorrow…”
“I will. I’ll get along with you anyway.”
“Does it sound like I’m forcing you to say that?”
“Even if I say this, I think my heart will be a little more comfortable.”
“You just say you hate me?”
“Yes, I really hate it.”
“…”
Seo Hyun-woo meets Baek Seo-yeon’s eyes, at a loss for words.
Baek Seo-yeon was showing her cold eyes with her mouth closed.
“Just like that?”
“Is it only? Haven’t you been hiding like that from Miterichi? If you really believed in me, there is no reason to hide.”
“I’m telling you now, but I didn’t hide it because I didn’t trust you. I was afraid of being treated like a madman or being questioned.”
“Now I think that’s an excuse… huh…”
Baek Seo-yeon, unable to continue speaking, slowly catches her breath.
It wasn’t very incomprehensible.
It might seem strange if you know what other people don’t know.
“good. We will have a conversation about this slowly tomorrow.”
“Are you a little angry now?”
“There is no way it can be solved! I wish I had done this in advance, but why are you making it so difficult?”
“…because I’m the only one who worries and suffers.”
Baek Seo-yeon, who heard this, was startled and swallowed the silence.
It was a selfish but altruistic idea.
That’s why he couldn’t take his eyes off Seo Hyun-woo.
“Let’s get up first.”
“We haven’t decided what time we will meet tomorrow, have we?”
“I’m going to stick with the manager’s schedule. There is nothing to do anyway.”
“Then, did you deliberately pretend to be busy when you have nothing to do?”
“I deliberately kicked it out in the sense that you know the importance of me.”
“Huh…”
Seo Hyun-woo sighs and watches Baek Seo-yeon leave.
I thought Baek Seo-yeon was more stubborn than I thought.
‘It’s coming out too loud. Did that make you feel that bad?’
***
There weren’t many people in the city.
Recently, the appearance of first-class monsters has increased, so he refrained from going out.
As a result, there were rumors of an economic downturn, but the magic-related industry was in a state of unprecedented boom.
Seo Hyun-woo was walking along this street with Baek Seo-yeon, admiring the strange stillness.
‘It’s good that we ate after watching a movie… Why isn’t the conversation going on like this?’
Seo Hyun-woo squints at Baek Seo-yeon and secretly examines her clothes.
A light blue short-sleeved blouse, white trousers, and stylish black boots.
She had her silver hair tied up after a long time, and she was also wearing earrings that she didn’t normally wear.
In particular, I wondered if the hairpins holding the silver hair in place caught my eye.
“… you’re still writing well.”
“Are you talking about hairpins?”
“I thought we wouldn’t use gifts because we’ve had a bit of a bad relationship these days.”
“I am not that narrow-minded.”
“Then why have you been doing this until now?”
“I just didn’t like the manager’s attitude.”
“What’s the difference between being narrow-minded and not liking it?”
“It’s different for me.”
“…”
Baek Seo-yeon was enjoying this situation a little bit.
Because it was the first time that Seo Hyun-woo would be in trouble with just a few words.

Maybe you can see it as being careful for yourself.“To be honest, it was a little frustrating. I was worried.”
“I must have been frustrated because I didn’t speak properly. He might have been nervous because he was doing everything by himself.”
“No matter how strong the team leader is, he is a human just like me. You could get injured or die at any time.”
“It is.”
“Other people may think that the team leader can do anything. But I think the team leader can fail. Because humans are not perfect.”
Seo Hyun-woo couldn’t deny that as much as he said.
It was good for others to have expectations of me, but the pressure that I might fail did not go away.
So, I was trying to find a target that I could trust and rely on even a little bit.
“I am weaker than the team leader, but I can help as much as I need. It doesn’t have to be me. Getting help from someone else will make you feel a little more comfortable.”
“I can’t trust anyone but you. Neither Setinos Hunter nor Kang Jin-ha can follow you.”
Seo Hyun-woo opened his mouth slowly, immersed in trouble.
I had to tell you something that only Archangel Runne knew.
That way, you can prepare well in advance and make a sure choice.
“In the near future, you will gain special powers. He may be stronger than me, but I don’t know because I haven’t seen it in person.”
“…so did you tell me to prepare my heart?”
“You have to make a choice. If you gain strength, you can’t be Baek Seo-yeon. You have to give up your life as a human being.”
