At Baek Seo-yeon’s sharp tip, Seo Hyun-woo is nervous for a moment, but does not express it.
Seo-yeon Baek clearly understood what her intentions were from her words and actions.
I thought that maybe he did his own analysis based on the conversations he had with him.
“Once you are included.”
“…do you think you will be with the president even after graduating from miterichi?”
Baek Seo-yeon hides her true intentions without knowing it and tries to peek into Seo Hyun-woo’s thoughts.
There were still about two years left before completing Miterichi.
Until that time comes, can Seo Hyun-woo or his own thoughts not change?
“I am going to try. As much as you, I don’t want to be taken away by anyone else.”
Baek Seo-yeon feels her heart flutter and turns her head toward Seo Hyun-woo.
There was not a single smile on Seo Hyun-woo’s face.
Indigo blue eyes were shining brightly, and he seemed to be more cold-hearted than ever.
He wasn’t joking, he was telling the truth.
“I… there must be someone who can replace me. You don’t have to try to take me.”
“no. I must take you Even if you don’t like it, I’ll have to convince you.”
Baek Seo-yeon feels the shiver rising from the back of her neck and bows her head.
Why are you even saying things like that to yourself?
Since it was looking for someone to be by his side, it would not have been a mixture of personal feelings.
Wouldn’t it be possible to catch Seo Hyun-woo’s eyes only if he has sufficient skills and qualities?
“I don’t mean to make a decision right now. ‘Cause you’ll have an idea too If you can cooperate later, that’s enough.”
“Then tell me why. I may change my mind if it makes sense.”
Baek Seo-yeon calms the fluctuating emotions and returns to her original expression.
In the meantime, he was lying instinctively.
Wouldn’t it be better to get a more definitive answer to understand yourself?
“I’ve said it many times. You have the potential to become stronger than me. It’s reliable and can make up for my shortcomings. I think that was enough of a reason.”
In fact, Baek Seo-yeon had been hearing those words from Seo Hyun-woo all the time.
However, he didn’t take it seriously, and didn’t he think it was the strength of the strong?
I thought I might have to change my mind after today.
“Then, who else is there besides me and the head of the Special Division?”
“I am thinking about it. Just because I want it doesn’t mean I can take them all with me.”
Seo Hyun-woo gives a vague answer and draws a line in advance.
This, too, was only part of the plan, and could not be considered definite.
Above all else, if you find out about Seo-Yeon Baek now, wouldn’t it be more likely that it would be a hindrance rather than a help?
“Aren’t there some people who still want to be okay?”
“Nothing has been decided for sure. The head of the special division was following me, so I thought it was reliable. I have to take you with me, so I’ll tell you in advance.”
“So… after…”
Baek Seo-yeon takes a deep breath and is unable to continue speaking.
He would have been a little more at ease if he had been smirking as usual, or if he spoke half-jokingly.
Wouldn’t it be rather embarrassing for you to be so serious about making a recommendation?
“As I said in advance, nothing happened with the head of the Special Division. I just became a training partner whenever I had time.”
“Why are you talking to me like that? There is no way I can be misunderstood.”
“…I guess. ‘Cause you’ve got an eye for it too I just said it just in case.”
Seo Hyun-woo shows a faint smile and bites the straw in his mouth.
Baek Seo-yeon seemed to be still for a while, but soon followed Seo Hyun-woo for a cup of coffee.
‘I’m glad I didn’t ask. I was skeptical because it looked a little strange… I think I’m being swayed by trivial things these days.’
***
It was the second day since the succession festival, a festival of Miterichi, was held.
Since the festival was held with a deadline of 2 days and 1 night, it was virtually the end of the festival.
Compared to other university festivals, which are held for 3 days and 2 nights, it must be said that there is a bit of a disappointment.
However, since the event of the succession system required the physical strength of the members in charge and the discretion of the operation headquarters, it was intended to be completed within a short period of time even for safety.
“…I’ve been there four times already. Wouldn’t it be better for the president or vice president to go?”
“I don’t really like it.”
“I don’t like loud noises.”
Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon answer Yoo Si-eun’s questions in order and do not leave their seats.
In the case of Seo Hyun-woo, he did not pay much attention to the succession system.
I just felt comfortable enough to get away from work and just sit still.
Baek Seo-yeon was enjoying this atmosphere because she really hates loud and promiscuous things.
“Just let me go one more time. Oh, I think I could go back two or three more times.”
“There’s no way you’re going to be comfortable with me like that.”
“Convenience? can it be I’m handing over the on-site inspection to you. The so-called military style.”
“Puffy…”
Baek Seo-yeon suddenly bursts into laughter and turns her head.
Seo Hyun-woo also laughed as if he felt that what he said was strange.
Only Yoo Si-eun could not understand this situation and just made a puzzled expression.
‘… After being here for so long, both of you have become strange. After all, the president and the vice president are not for everyone.’
Yoo Si-eun looks at the two with worried eyes and then leaves the temporary general manager’s office.
Seo Hyeon-woo and Baek Seo-yeon looked at each other with a smile belatedly.
“Why are you laughing all of a sudden? It’s not even funny.”
“Isn’t it ridiculous to call it a military meal? I don’t know why you’re saying that while being considerate of the head of the security department.”
“… Consideration? What does that mean?”
Seo Hyun-woo immediately asked, thinking that maybe.
He may have noticed other facts besides that he was gathering colleagues.
“It seems that the director of the security department gave him time to enjoy with Kang Jin-ha.”
“…what am I giving them such time for?”
Seo Hyun-woo hesitates for a bit, and then responds belatedly.
At this point, I thought that Baek Seo-yeon was reading her thoughts.
It would not be possible to draw such a conclusion just because Yoo Si-eun was sent to the site inspection several times.
“You must have noticed that the head of the security department had a crush on Kang Jin-ha. You must have thought that it was better than the head of the shape department who always made the excuse that he was busy or the manager of the transformation department who lived without thinking.”
“It’s a plausible reasoning.”
Seo Hyun-woo answered, holding back the laughter that was about to come out.
It seemed that Baek Seo-yeon could not deviate from the general category.
In reality, wasn’t it a plan to give not only Yoo Si-eun, but also Lee Da-jeong and Min Ha-young to Kang Jin-ha?
Of course, if you think about it the other way around, it also meant that Seo Hyun-woo had such a strange idea.
‘I have no choice but to follow the rules. Because it’s a school thing, the main character has to take all the heroines. I accidentally took only Baek Seo-yeon and Ryu Seon-hwa from there.’
In the beginning, this world was a fictional and fictional space, and was based only on the success and growth of the protagonist.
However, Seo Hyun-woo had also gone through a process suitable for that, and was slowly building his own power.
In this situation, wasn’t Seo Hyun-woo getting closer and closer to the two people who had the greatest potential but also had enormous influence?
‘Now you just have to adjust the balance. If only I could keep the flow of the content…’
smart.
“hello! You are in a lot of trouble!”
Along with the knock, a cheerful voice resounded inside the temporary general manager’s room.
Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon look at the visitor at the same time and recognize the visitor.
A sweet and savory smell was coming out through the plastic bag the visitor was carrying.
“You came just in time for lunch.”
“I thought you were going to be hungry, so I bought one. Is it too late?”
“no. It came at just the right time.”
Seo Hyun-woo looks at Irev Kanasual, who is smiling brightly, and then glances at Baek Seo-yeon.
There was a high probability that Baek Seo-yeon hated Irev Kanasual.
However, based on the conversation we had yesterday, I think you might be able to see it a little better.
“I haven’t seen you very well these days, what have you been doing?”
“Ah… I’m sorry, but I’m training separately. The Special Department doesn’t have much to do, so it wouldn’t be a big deal if I was alone.”
Irev answered honestly, avoiding Baek Seo-yeon’s gaze.
If you lie clumsily, you will only receive more criticism.
If it’s a nagging thing you’ll hear anyway, wouldn’t it be better to accept it with certainty?
“That’s why he looked so skinny. My face hurt a lot.”
“… yes? Ah yes. Thank you for caring me.”
In response to the unexpected reaction, Irev remains dazed, then comes to his senses and approaches the table.
He couldn’t even imagine that Baek Seo-yeon would say something to worry about him.

Maybe it’s because he has a kind side unlike the chilly atmosphere.“Is the training going well?”
“yes. As you advised, I am concentrating on increasing elasticity and flexibility. We are also trying to increase the acidity of the slime.”
“Can’t you take it apart?”
In response to Baek Seo-yeon’s question, Seo Hyun-woo and Irev turn their heads with their mouths closed.
Baek Seo-yeon receives those gazes all at once, and then continues talking.
“I was asking if the acidity of slimes could be used as a ranged weapon.”
“That would be a bit difficult. To use it like that, you have to split it up, but you can’t use it multiple times.”
“Then we will have no choice but to engage in close combat.”
“The nature of slime is the best. It is to neutralize the enemy with high acidity while resisting or avoiding the enemy’s attack.”
“…if you can get help from a colleague, you will feel more secure.”
Baek Seo-yeon looked at Irev and answered calmly.
The slime transformation ability was weak in the offensive part, but it was excellent in the defensive part.
If he could only provide cover from the side or the back, he would have been able to do a great job.
‘Looks like you’re working hard. Can I help you a little? If you’re on the president’s side, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to cooperate in advance.’

Near the 7th grade gate on the outskirts of Seoul.

Miterichi’s students gathered together to conduct dungeon practice.Of course, security agents were with them, and hunters belonging to the committee were dispatched to prepare for unexpected situations.
Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon had already completed their exploration of the 7th grade gate, so they were both checking and supervising the personnel just like in the training dungeon.
‘Fortunately, nothing has happened to Jin Se-hee so far. That means Jin Se-hee will receive a revelation today. How can Jin Se-hee become an apostle safely?’
