“…?”
Seo Hyun-woo had no choice but to look at Baek Seo-yeon with suspicious eyes.
It is true that I became quite close with Baek Seo-yeon, but there were not many times that I did something together outside of Miterichi.
If I had to look for it, it wasn’t the only time we watched a movie, ate, and drank coffee together during summer vacation.
‘During summer vacation, you haven’t even asked me to do a training battle lately. After all, do you want to hang out with me properly?’
Seo Hyun-woo understands Baek Seo-yeon’s feelings, but prepares to persuade him.
Baek Seo-yeon could fight as much as she wanted if she wanted to, but it had to have a barrier system.
If Baek Seo-yeon gets a scratch on her body during the match, Baek Jeong-woon won’t leave her alone.
“Are you saying that because you want to do something with me?”
“Since we have decided to stand on the president’s side, shouldn’t we have to pay a little more? I don’t know how long this feeling will last, but I’ll do it as long as I can.”
“… Oh, was that what you were talking about?”
Seo Hyun-woo is relieved to be late and sips his coffee.
It must have been that he was slightly interested in being on his side, apart from betting.
Of course, after that, various conditions could be put forward, but there was nothing that could not be met.
Among the many awakened people, there is no one who can have a higher potential and power than Baek Seo-yeon.
“What were you thinking, making that face?”
“I thought you were going to have to fight without a barrier system.”
“…not that thought-provoking.”
Baek Seo-yeon said so, but showed a faint smile.
Perhaps, if it had been the former self, he would have shown a cold attitude rather than a smile.
But it was an answer that made me laugh out loud, and no matter how many times I think about it, it’s amazing.
“So what kind of contempt are you going to give?”
“We want to train together to build a sense of belonging and solidarity. I think it would be better to do something like simple physical training or mana management.”
“It’s an easy training… it’s not bad. Better than doing it alone.”
“Including the head of the special department, we have decided on a total of three people. Are there any others?”
“…Isn’t it possible?”
Seo Hyun-woo answered vaguely and recalled some names.
Jin Se-hee seemed to have to spend more time, and the fact that Ryu Seon-hwa was the head of the Craxis Church was quite dangerous.
Choi Jae-yeon was doing well on her own, so there was no reason to bring Koo-tae along, and Kang Jin-ha would have been best left alone, except in special cases.
“Unfortunately, Kang Jin-ha and the head of the property department were not mentioned. It is fortunate.”
“Do you hate them enough to say you’re lucky?”
“Doesn’t it seem like you’re arguing with personal feelings when you say that? I made an objective and rational decision.”
“…”
Baek Seo-yeon’s position was very firm.
It meant that Irev Kanasuel, who was getting better and better, could be seen as good, but Kang Jin, but some other generals, would never see him as an ally.
Perhaps it was because he saw his personality first rather than the strength of his abilities or his own abilities.
“Um… Then, what do the head of the reinforcement department or the chief of the security department think?”
“I am looking good. Both of them have great qualities and have a strong sense of responsibility for their work. Personally, I don’t know why the head of the security department is interested in Kang Jin-ha. It’s an inappropriate combination.”
“Isn’t it better to think that… that’s the taste of the chief of the security department?”
“Huh… it’s a little disappointing. I bet the head of the reinforcement department should not do such a thing.”
“You won’t have to worry too much. The head of the Ganghwa Department can’t even tell the difference.”
Seo Hyun-woo suddenly comforts Baek Seo-yeon and matches her words.
Baek Seo-yeon hated Kang Jin-ha too much, and even the rationale was clear and logical.
If it got a little more serious here, it might have turned out to be completely hostile to Kang Jin-ha.
“Now, shall we think the other way? Is there a student you would like to make on your side?”
“…there was no other student that stood out other than the president.”
“If it’s a compliment, I’d appreciate it. It’s not easy being in the Vice President’s eyes.”
Seo Hyun-woo feels a strange sense of satisfaction and laughs.
If it had been the original content, he would have hated himself and tried to take the seat of the student council president somehow.
We’ve become our only friends now, and we even joked with each other from time to time.
“Then what if you are not a student? What if, for example, a white saint was on your side?”
“Isn’t there no way that a white saint would be on my side?”
“That’s something you don’t know. The white saint seemed to like you quite a bit.”
Seo Hyun-woo secretly teaches what will happen in the future and breaks the rules.
The reason the white saint gathered the apostles was because of Baek Seo-yeon.
The arrival of the archangel was a task that had to be done, and the apostles had to assist the archangel.
‘It wouldn’t be bad for a white saint to get away from Kang Jin-ha. Even if it helps, it doesn’t really matter. It would be nice if you could definitely push Baek Seo-yeon at this point.’

Subjugation Safety Planning Headquarters in Seoul, inside the 1st office.
The Hunter Committee had a department called the Subjugation Safety Planning Department under its umbrella and had been using it for dungeon subjugation.
This department was spread out in each region, and several Black Hunters had been appointed as heads of each branch.
Their main task was to make appropriate plans for dungeon subjugation, or to allow hunters not belonging to the subjugation team to work temporarily.
“What did you come here for? It’s not like I want to get a subjugation plan…”
Baek Jeong-woon, the first office manager of the Seoul headquarters, opened his mouth first in front of the visitors.
Baek Jeong-woon’s fame was well known, so he had no choice but to become the office manager of the Seoul headquarters.
In addition, the smaller the number in front, the heavier the assignment was, so the first office was entrusted to the Black Hunter, who had his skills guaranteed.
“I want to see your face after a long time. I have something to tell you.”
Kang Yu-jin, who is attracting attention as the next Setinos hunter, smiles and brings a teacup to her mouth.
After graduating from Miterich, Kang Yu-jin had been receiving help from Baek Jeong-woon, both big and small.
If Baek Jeong-woon hadn’t helped, he would not only be able to quickly become stronger, but he would not have been able to maintain his position as a Black Hunter until now.
“There may not be much you can say in this situation.”
Baek Jeong-woon immediately recognized the intention of Kang Yu-jin’s visit to the office.
Numerous hunters, including Setinos Hunters, were paying attention to this issue.
Above all, there were many speculations that the Setinos Hunters would not be able to unify their opinions, so it was becoming more controversial.
“Since you already know, I think we’ll talk faster. Please help me.”
“I am just a black hunter. Do you want me to push you?”
“It’s the other way around. please take me out I don’t want to be a Setinos Hunter.”
“…?”
At the unexpected answer, Baek Jeong-woon stares blankly at Kang Yu-jin, lost for words.
Wasn’t it thought that Kang Yu-jin would have quite a bit of greed for the role of Setinos Hunter?
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to become a Black Hunter at that young age.
“I don’t know why. I thought you were more greedy for Setinos Hunter than anyone else.”
“I am? why?”
“…because I became a Black Hunter too quickly.”
“Oh, what am I talking about? There’s no good reason for that. Since I became a hunter, I wanted to do something like this, so I worked hard.”
Actually, there was no specific goal for Kang Yu-jin.
All he had to do was hone his skills and move towards the apex.
That is why he had been the head of the reinforcement department until he graduated from Miterichi, and after that, he tried to become a black hunter who was treated as a high-ranking black hunter.
“Isn’t Setinos Hunter even on this axis?”
“no. It just doesn’t make sense to me. I can still move comfortably. Now I just need to get stronger, but if I become a Setinos Hunter, wouldn’t it be more troublesome?”
“What do people who recommend you do?”
“So that’s why I came to see you. Convince the two of you. I understand why you chose me, but I have no intention of becoming a Setinos Hunter.”
Baek Jeong-woon is a little embarrassed, but his expressionless expression doesn’t change.
At this point, if Kang Yu-jin was left out, the next Setinos Hunter would be left with only two people.
There was a high probability that one would refuse to be promoted to Setinos Hunter because he had to keep his position as vice-chairman.
“If this goes on, the student council president of Miteric may become Setinos Hunter. Other hunters will not accept this result.”
“Um… are you okay? He looked pretty smart.”
“It is not that simple. You’re looking at your 30s, so it doesn’t matter, but the student council president is still in your early 20s. The feeling of looking young is so strong.”
Baek Jeong-woon had been concerned that Seo Hyun-woo would make Setinos a hunter.
Even though he was young and talented, the fact that he was a student who had never even worked as a hunter had to be emphasized.
No matter how much talent and ability are given preference, there is no way other hunters will appreciate it when a newcomer in his early 20s becomes a Setinos Hunter.
“I understand what you mean, but two Setinos Hunters have already appointed the student council president. Wouldn’t that be enough to prove that I was qualified?”
“Eligibility is an issue. People like me might be able to pass it on. But geeks will talk nonsense about why they make a blue young guy a Setinos Hunter.”
Baek Jeong-woon has been in the hunter industry for a long time and has experienced numerous accidents.
Among them, there were cases where they blurted the team atmosphere by stating their age and career, or persecuted other hunters.
As much as this part, the committee tried to improve it, but because they were awakened people with special powers, didn’t they act more selfishly?
“So, do you have to have a suitable career at the age of at least 30, like the Black Demon King?”
“As time goes by, that standard will gradually lower. At the very least, you have to complete Miterichi before I can help you or not.”
“If you graduate while retaining the position of student council president in Miterichi, would it make any sense?”
“There must be a reason. If you accumulate subjugation experience in about a year or so, it will be almost perfect. Because there is the case of Jin-seop Yoo.”
In fact, even after less than two years had passed since Yoo Jin-seop awakened, he once subjugated a level 3 dungeon by himself.
After that, after 2 years and 5 months, I subjugated the 2nd level dungeon with my teammates, and after 3 years, I had to conquer the 1st level dungeon.
He deserved to be called the strongest of all time, and didn’t Seo Hyun-woo show a similar possibility?
‘The president of the student council is similar to Jin-seop. Plus, he’s even younger than Jinseop at that time. If I do well, I might be able to surpass Jin-seop.’
