Baek Seo-yeon unconsciously draws conclusions while watching the scene in front of her.
Seo Hyun-woo had definitely told himself not to give up.
There was no intention to belittle or despise him.
But the given reality is so tragic, isn’t it?
‘You can’t beat the president through hard work alone. The difference lies in innate talent. I grew up in a good environment, and no matter how lucky I am, I can’t keep up with that talent.’
Baek Seo-yeon shakes her head as she watches Jin Se-hee’s flames slowly fade.
Perhaps the other managers were thinking the same thing as him.
So, after losing several times to Seo Hyun-woo, he never applied for a Ranked Battle again.
‘The president’s copying ability is very versatile. Because you can use your allies’ abilities to suit the situation. You can even use skills related to it. The amount of magical power is incomparable to me and the managers. How in the world can I have such a talent?’
Baek Seo-yeon suddenly had such a thought.
Is it really necessary for Seo Hyun-woo to maintain the position of the student council president of Miterichi?
Rather, it would have been more beneficial to Seo Hyun-woo to finish Miterichi early and work as a current hunter.
However, Seo Hyun-woo never tried to give up his seat as student council president.
‘There are circumstances that I cannot tell the president. There’s a reason I have to keep the position of student council president. What the hell is that?’
Baek Seo-yeon turns her eyes to Seo Hyun-woo, immersed in her worries.
Seo Hyun-woo was emitting a huge amount of flame without changing the color of his face.
However, I thought the feeling was a little different from when I had a training battle with myself.
‘Are you trying to completely crush the head of the property department this time? To set an example for other managers?’

“Ugh…”
Jin Se-hee takes a step backwards little by little and wraps her body in flames.
However, the strength and quantity were too insufficient to stop Seo Hyun-woo’s flame.
I already knew that I had no choice but to face such an ending, but I couldn’t stand still.
“Did you just apply for a Ranked Battle to me at that level?”
Seo Hyun-woo took one step at a time and spoke coldly.
It was not that Jin Se-hee had bad feelings.
I just couldn’t understand this situation, and I was just curious as to why Jin Se-hee applied for a Ranked Battle.
“… Is this enough?”
“what?”
“It’s not like the president.”
Jin Se-hee opens her eyes wide and draws out the magic in her body.
Then Jin Se-hee’s flame grew stronger and began to push Seo Hyun-woo’s flame away.
However, Seo Hyun-woo doesn’t show any reaction and just watches Jin Se-hee’s actions.
“What do you want to say?”
“If I had been the former president, I would have tried to compete quickly. They don’t even give you a gap like this.”
Jin Se-hee slowly advanced and began to increase the amount of flame.
At the same time, Seo Hyun-woo’s flame becomes smaller in size and the color fades.
However, Seo Hyun-woo did not back down and showed no sign of embarrassment.
“So, did you apply for a Ranked Battle? Do I look weaker than I used to?”
“…I don’t think I’m weak. I just think it’s gotten worse.”
“You blew it away… You’re so weird. What’s good about being dirty?”
“With the power and authority, such a thing is possible. That’s why the managers can’t even say anything. At the same time, the meaning of defeating you arises.”
Hearing that, Seo Hyun-woo seemed to think for a moment, but then burst into laughter.
I thought that Jin Se-hee was in awe of the original Seo Hyun-woo.
A wall that must be overcome, an enemy who oppresses him, and an authoritarian who is arrogant and uses only force.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Maybe that’s why he became more obsessed with the original Seo Hyun-woo and developed into a feeling of love.“Now I know. You didn’t just like bad guys.”
“What do you mean all of a sudden?”
“You want to be stronger, but you are looking for someone stronger than you. In a word, you are enjoying a weak meat meal.”
Seo Hyun-woo takes a step forward while refining the magic in his body.
Then, the flames that had been extinguished were revived at once and spurted out wildly.
Jin Se-hee instinctively steps back and watches Seo Hyun-woo’s condition.
“You sound weird.”
“I don’t think your thinking is wrong. In order to survive in this world, we must become stronger. It is understandable to some extent.”
Seo Hyun-woo consumes more mana and approaches Jin Se-hee.
At the same time, the flame burns more violently and swallows Jin Se-hee’s flame at once.
Jin Se-hee created more sparks to respond, but could not stop the momentum.
“But if you knew that, you should have made a wise decision. If you weren’t confident about defeating me, you shouldn’t have applied for a Ranked Battle.”
“I have not been defeated yet!”
“You will soon be defeated.”
Seo Hyun-woo lightly waved his right hand at the same time as he answered.
Red flames began to gushing out from Seo Hyun-woo’s body.
As a result, Jin Se-hee’s flame had already been completely pushed out, and he had no choice but to be directly exposed to Seo Hyun-woo’s flame.
“Ugh…”
“Because you are swayed by trivial emotions, you will lose like this. What about power and authority? good night. I will do whatever you want.”
“Sigh…”
Jin Se-hee kneels on one knee, feeling the pain as if her skin is burning.
In this state, he could not even counteract the flame, let alone counterattack.
The barrier system won’t hurt you, but the pain would continue to torment you.
“The situation you have been longing for has come to pass. Do you feel anything now?”
“I… nah…”
“Do you still have the strength to speak? It would be better to declare surrender at that time.”
Seo Hyun-woo amplifies the firepower of the flame and looks at Jin Se-hee.
Although Jin Se-hee pours out a voice full of pain, she struggles with the heat.
Even because of his pride, he could not easily declare surrender.
Since it’s something he’s done, shouldn’t it be done properly?
“Whoa… Whoa…”
“Are you going to hold out? If it came out like that, I wouldn’t need to look at it any more.”
Seo Hyun-woo turned his back and moved slowly.
But Jin Se-hee couldn’t even see Seo Hyun-woo’s back.
The flame, which had turned crimson from red, suddenly obscured his view.
It was a really beautiful flame, but it also meant something else.
“Did you lose again? How much longer do you have to…”
***
“Calm down.”
“…”
“Hey, Jin Se-hee.”
“… Well?”
Jin Se-hee wakes up belatedly at the faint voice.
Jin Se-hee finds Min Ha-young looking down at her and immediately stands up.
“What the hell did you say to the president?”
“What happened while I was down?”
“The president was very rude. No one told you not to take care of you.”
“…”
Jin Se-hee, who heard that, kept her head down and did not answer anything.
It was an undeniable fact that he provoked Seo Hyun-woo.
Besides, didn’t it stimulate Seo Hyun-woo even more by talking about power and authority?
“You said, ‘What do you do to take care of the weak guy? So the vice president and Jaeyeon left first. The security chief… ah, I don’t know.”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Min Ha-young places a water bottle next to Jin Se-hee and squats down.Jin Se-hee opened her mouth slowly without even moving.
“… Then why are you here? You’d better follow the president’s instructions.”
“It’s me… You didn’t really listen to the president. I just do it my way.”
“Then you may be caught by the president.”
“So that’s why you came. What if I get caught? If you do well, you will be able to tackle work-related things.”
As Min Ha-young says so, she looks out of the training room involuntarily.
To be honest, I didn’t want to show much hate towards Seo Hyun-woo.
It was because he had no choice but to suffer losses the more his relationship with Seo Hyun-woo was not good.
“I didn’t come here because I was worried… Are you curious about the conversation with the president?”
“Aren’t you talking too much? Among the managers, the only people I get along with are you and Da-jung, right?”
“Then you won’t have to tell me what’s going on.”
“Hey, really. If you speak up, you should see the end. So, what made the president angry?”
Jin Se-hee smiles faintly as she recalls the conversation she had with Seo Hyun-woo.
I think I must have been mistaken for a moment.
Seo Hyun-woo was still overwhelming, and didn’t he retain his former appearance when it came to the game?
“It was a little provocative. I mean, that’s the only thing you can do.”
“…you are also quite insane. No matter how much the president has changed, the fundamentals remain the same. You must have seen it then.”
“So maybe I’m getting a little closer with you. Aren’t you out of your mind the same way?”
“Do you want to fight me? After losing once, the taste was completely gone.”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Min Ha-young frowned and looked at Jin Se-hee’s condition.His face, which had always been hardened, suddenly filled with laughter.
He didn’t look like someone who had lost the rank battle.
“What am I going to do with you? There is no point in winning.”
“Oh, you will. Because I am the only manager, and the president is the strongest in the school. Do you really want to be president?”
“Well. Now I don’t know.”
Jin Se-hee gets up completely from her seat and lightly moves her body back and forth.
The complicated mind seemed to be at ease now.
I wondered if I should watch Seo Hyun-woo a little more after regaining my position as manager.
“Thanks for taking care of me, but I’ll have to go first.”
“Are you going to have a rank battle with the generals?”
“You can’t leave your position as a manager for a long time. We’ll see you at today’s closing meeting. Oh, you won’t come to the meeting.”
“okay. bye. I am the only one who came to take care of you.”
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Min Ha-young sighs, waving roughly to Jin Se-hee, who is leaving.It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Moreover, seeing that he was attached to the position of director, it seemed that he had not yet given up his position as student council president.‘Are you sure you have the confidence to take on the chores? The president wouldn’t look good. Well, you’ll be fine.’

Inside the student council meeting room on the day.
Of course, Min Ha-young and Lee Da-jeong did not attend the inaugural meeting.
In addition, Ahn Jung-hoon, the head of the special division, was also absent.
However, Se-hee Jin, who was relegated this morning, sat calmly.
“…before we begin the inaugural meeting, there is something I need to tell you.”
Seo Hyun-woo opened his mouth first without even paying attention to Jin Se-hee.
Seo-yeon Baek already knew the contents, and Jae-yeon Choi had no choice but to know it unintentionally.
In other words, only Jin Se-hee and Yoo Si-eun were unaware of this fact.
“As of today, the current head of the special division, Ahn Jung-hoon, has been demoted to an official member. The reason is to finish Miterichi early and take care of the child.”
“…”
“ha…”
“Well?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Could you please explain a little more?”
Si-eun Yoo raised the question on behalf of the others.
Then, Seo Hyun-woo seemed to be a little worried, but then he spoke frankly.
“They say they broke the speed limit. The head of the Special Division had an affair with a girl in Miterichi and had a child. Those two are trying to finish Miterichi quickly in order to take care of the child. One of the two secretary generals of the Special Department will take over the position of director.”
