“Hmm… you’re guessing pretty well, right? You seem to have looked into my head.”
Yoon Se-in tilted her head and lowered her gaze.
There was truth in Yang’s words, and there was no intention of denying it.
In fact, it was true that the student council president of Miterichi felt similar to Yoo Jin-seop.
“But I don’t think you’re going to think in a good way. Doesn’t the president hate the greatest hunter of all time?”
“It does. It’s also an opponent I didn’t win, and I don’t really like what I’m doing.”
Yoon Se-in quickly erases the smile on his face and his eyes become sharp.
Yoo Jin-seop has always ignored the recommendations of the committee and entered the dungeon without even making an agreement with other subjugation teams.
Above all else, he has done such things while being called the strongest of all time, so he doesn’t know that he has become a god himself.
“But you have to admit it. He is stronger than me, and he has saved the lives of citizens by subjugating numerous dungeons so far. The title of a hero would be more appropriate than the strongest of all time.”
Yoon Se-in said that last word and got up from her seat.
He had already heard information about the student council president from Han Yoo-jeong, the same Setinos hunter.
Not only did he receive approval from Baek Jeong-woon, but he also knew that the ability copied from the Red Dragon King was transformed.
Surprisingly, he was entangled with many things, so it should be said that the value of the student council president increased even more.
‘If you have that level of talent, there’s a high chance you’ll become a Setinos Hunter. Maybe he will have the greatest title of all time. I’ll have to meet him once and get a feel for it.’

Seo Hyun-woo and Choi Jae-yeon unpacked their luggage in their assigned room and headed straight to the public bath housed in the hotel.
It was intended to refresh the body before lunch.
I don’t know what the other student council executives are going to be doing, but they should have been doing well since they were just there anyway.
“You don’t have to follow me. There must be something you want to do.”
“…Is it inconvenient for me to follow you?”
“I didn’t mean it that way. It’s better for me to go with you than to go alone. Aren’t you a little bored by yourself?”
Seo Hyun-woo took a light shower and went into the hot tub first.
Jae-yeon Choi follows him without a word and buries her body deep in the water.
There were a few people inside the bathroom, but compared to the size of the bathroom, it was a fairly small number.
It was too quiet, but only the occasional sound of running water.
“Now that I see it, I don’t think I’ve had a proper conversation with you since then.”
“When are you talking about? Oh, was that then? He made a terrific remark after subduing the student who was running wild.”
“Thanks to that, girls no longer ask for their contact information. It’s very comfortable.”
This was the end of the conversation.
Neither of them opened their mouths, they just stared blankly at the ceiling or the front.
There were only two men among the executives of the student council, but they could not even have a private conversation.
Seo Hyun-woo felt awkward in this atmosphere and thought he would miss the conversation with Baek Seo-yeon.
‘… I feel like I’m not here to play, I’m sitting on a cushion of thorns. Choi Jae-yeon doesn’t have an original existence, so I don’t know much about it. Do I have to start searching for information first?’
Seo Hyun-woo began to think about the topic of conversation that could change this atmosphere.
It would have been nice to mention things or hobbies that Choi Jae-yeon might like.
But Choi Jae-yeon is the type of person who speaks and acts only when necessary, so it is impossible to know what she likes.
‘Oh, it’s difficult. You know what you need to know to have a conversation, but you don’t really know anything, do you? It might be better to say something like swordsmanship or weapons…’
“Chairman, can I ask you just one thing?”
“…it doesn’t matter if it’s not one thing.”
Seo Hyun-woo answers Choi Jae-yeon’s question directly without even moving.
Finally, the conversation was about to start again.
If you had any questions about yourself, you would just have to tell them to your heart’s content.
“Am I not able to match the president?”
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“Well… then let me be a little more specific. Am I being bullied?”
“… What?”
After hearing that, Seo Hyun-woo quickly turned his head and looked at Choi Jae-yeon.
Jaeyeon Choi was looking up at the ceiling with a calmer expression than ever before.
It was as if I had given up on everything and put it down without any regrets.
“The mind is ready. I want you to be honest with me.”
“I never tried to bully you in the first place.”
“Ah, that’s how it comes out. Are you trying to avoid it that way?”
Jae-Yeon Choi closes her eyes and lets out a small laugh.
Seo Hyun-woo, who saw that, had a hard expression on his face.
Where did something go wrong, and why did he appear so determined?
“Huh… this time I’m going to ask. Why do you think you are being bullied?”
“Actually, there is no solid evidence. I just think that the vice president and general managers are united around the president.”
“So, without evidence and testimony, you thought it might be?”
“It just doesn’t look right. The president may not have intended it, but the vice presidents and general managers have already gathered around the president. There I was neatly thrown away.”
“…”
Jaeyeon Choi answered confidently with a tone that she knew everything.
Of course, unlike him, Seo Hyun-woo was at a loss for words and only frowned.
Perhaps Choi Jae-yeon was acting casually, but inwardly, she felt lonely.
However, as the content was not described in detail, it was impossible to notice it in advance.
“Let’s go back to the basics first. If I bullied you, why would you do this?”
“…what do you mean?”
“If I really bullied you, what would you like to talk about and go out with? Do you not want to pretend to be friends with the bully and say that you want to make fun of him?”
“It’s… uh…”
Choi Jae-yeon was taken aback for a moment and began to stutter.
However, Seo Hyun-woo did not stop at all and continued talking.
“And I am not that friendly with the managers. The vice president and I share a lot of work, so we just often spend time together. And he has already given a warning about the useless remarks made by the head of the Special Forces at the meeting. Do I even have to explain why I had a rank battle with the head of the property department?”
“…”
“Aside from that, the head of the transformation department and the head of the shape department have also been criticized publicly by me. As the security department moved to the student council, the security department manager was caught up in various evil practices and budget embezzlement. Is it possible to get to know each other better in this situation?”
Choi Jae-yeon, speechless, carefully glances at Seo Hyun-woo.
Seo Hyun-woo was staring at himself with cold eyes.
I wanted to make an excuse, but the atmosphere was not good, so I had no choice but to keep quiet.
“And if you’re going to bully me, I don’t do it this way. Whether it’s work or a meeting, I’ll point it out whenever there’s something that bothers me. I will only tell the vice presidents and managers the bad things about you and make them unable to even speak. Do I have to tell you this to make your heart feel more comfortable?”
Seo Hyun-woo spoke only the necessary words, but did not mention anything that could be aroused or questioned by Choi Jae-yeon.
In the first place, I had no intention of chasing Choi Jae-yeon, and I had to watch the end in advance so that such words would never come out again.
Or maybe it would be okay to get to know Choi Jae-yeon a little bit through this opportunity.
“That… I’m sorry. I must have misunderstood a little.”
“This is not enough. Shouldn’t you be thinking that it’s definitely not the case?”
“No, it’s not necessary…”
“Shh. you just listen You started it, but I end it. Do you understand?”
“…”
***
Seo Hyun-woo and Choi Jae-yeon got out of the bathroom after spending longer than expected.
Seo Hyun-woo, as always, had a grim expression on his face, but Choi Jae-yeon followed him with a confused face.
He was exhausted from listening to Seo Hyun-woo’s explanation of what it means to be friends and what a relationship between a man and a woman is.
‘Even if it’s about friends, you’re saying that about the relationship between men and women? I’ve never dated a woman…’
Choi Jae-yeon looks at Seo Hyun-woo’s back and then turns his gaze away.
He made the mistake first, and didn’t he provoke Seo Hyun-woo by saying useless things?
I couldn’t help but think that it was fortunate that the misunderstanding was cleared up.
“Well?”
Seo Hyun-woo stops at the entrance to the public bath, encountering familiar faces.
At the same time, the other side also finds Seo Hyun-woo and approaches him right away.
“Ah, did you come here first?”
“I thought I had to wash myself before eating. Did the head of the security department also come with you?”
“Yes.”
Baek Seo-yeon and Yoo Si-eun, who had just finished bathing, were in front of them.
It must have been that they moved together unintentionally because they shared a room in a hotel.
Besides, they have similar personalities and atmospheres, so maybe it’s surprising that they get along.
“Are you moving separately from the other managers?”
“We don’t have to move together, do we? We share a separate room, so we hardly ever see each other.”
“It’s not wrong. By the way…”
Seo Hyun-woo looks at Baek Seo-yeon’s face and blurs the end of his speech.
Then Baek Seo-yeon is nervous without knowing it and looks into Seo Hyun-woo’s eyes.
Hopefully, I think it’s strange to say that I removed my makeup for a while.
“I think your hair style is similar to that of the head of the security department. Did the head of the security department do it for you?”
“Yes. She was going to tie her hair, so I helped her a little.”
After hearing the answer, Seo Hyun-woo nodded and looked at Baek Seo-yeon’s head.
Like Yoo Si-eun, she tied her hair up and held it up again.
I usually wore straight hair, so there was no choice but to make a difference.
“Goes well. It wouldn’t hurt to do that sometimes.”
“…do you really think so?”
“It is sincere. It fits really well. You won’t see anything other than now. a little bit sorry Oh, we’re going to eat soon. Do you plan to come too?”
Baek Seo-yeon immediately turns her head to Seo Hyun-woo’s question and confirms Yoo Si-eun’s intention.
Yu Shi-eun carefully nodded her head, revealing her positivity.
“If you go first, we will follow.”
“I get it. Then we’ll see you later.”
Seo Hyun-woo said that and left the seat with Choi Jae-yeon.
Baek Seo-yeon wanted to see Seo Hyun-woo’s back for a moment, but then moved on.
‘Is it a good fit? I don’t think I’m joking… Are you still doing this style today?’
***
‘They say I’m here…’
Sein Yoon enters the cafe lounge and looks around.
The hotel staff recognized it right away, but Se-in Yoon shook her head slightly and conveyed the meaning of pretending not to know.
It was because he wanted to talk quietly with people who recognized him as much as possible without running into them.
‘Oh, there it is. If there are two men and two women, there must be a student council president. Is there an associate student council president? Unlike Baek Jeong-woon, he was said to be quite handsome.’
