“…?”
Seo Hyun-woo is puzzled, but does not open his mouth.
There was no way Baek Seo-yeon would have said such a thing without thinking.
I could have watched it a little longer and listened to an explanation later.
“Oh yeah? After all, there must be a reason for the two of them to be together. I’ll go first.”
Da-jeong Lee passes by Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon with her golden hair fluttering.
Then he headed to Jinha Kang’s seat and sat right next to him.
Kang Jin-ha was embarrassed and only looked at Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon alternately.
“Chairman, I’d like to sit down first.”
Seo Hyun-woo nodded and followed Baek Seo-yeon.
Then I sat down at a table located deep inside and finished my order.
Baek Seo-yeon immediately took out her smartphone and began to tap the keyboard at a dazzling speed.
“Can you tell me what you are trying to do?”
“I’m going to call the head of the reinforcement department and the head of the special department. Let’s see the end of this.”
“What do you mean by the end?”
“I plan to bring the head of the Ganghwa Department to our side. Even if I change my mind later, I have to get a definite answer now. Do you not like the head of the Ganghwa Department?”
“Like it. The head of the Ganghwa Department is a great talent.”
Seo Hyeon-woo keeps his gaze fixed on Baek Seo-yeon and barely endures the laughter that comes out.
Even though I wasn’t told to do it separately, I was trying to attract the head of the reinforcement department on my own.
What kind of emotions did he feel from Jin-ha Kang and the managers, so he took such action?
“It’s a bit sudden, but can you understand the reason for bringing in the head of the Ganghwa Department?”
“At first, the president said it was okay, so I accepted it as permission. I was aiming for the right timing, but I knew I had to do it now. You just lost a lot, so now you have to make a profit.”
“If it’s a big loss, are you referring to the head of the security department?”
“you’re right. I was thinking of bringing the security chief as well, but I just gave up. Such an idiot… huh… pretend you didn’t hear it.”
Seo-yeon Baek was concentrating on tapping the keyboard of her smartphone with a colder expression than ever before.
Seo Hyun-woo didn’t bother to stop Baek Seo-yeon’s behavior because it seemed quite interesting.
“I think I need to go out for a while.”
“… you don’t have to force me to come out. Recommendations can be made at any time.”
“Yes. I’ll see you Tyler.”
Baek Seo-yeon left those words and left the cafe.
In the end, Seo Hyun-woo had no choice but to burst into laughter while covering his mouth.
Trying to see Tyler well meant that he was going to make it out somehow, and for that he was going to make a phone call.
‘After all, Baek Seo-yeon is talented. He knew what I had to do and did it for me.’
Seo Hyun-woo sips the coffee the clerk made and waits for Baek Seo-yeon to arrive.
It must have taken time to sing not only Jaeyeon Choi but also Irev Kanasual.
Irev has already been persuaded, so why is he trying to call him?
‘Are you calling me to fill your head? Since there are four people over there, it’s like we’re four people… ah, it’s not like that.’
Baek Seo-yeon was returning to her seat after finishing the phone call.
As soon as Baek Seo-yeon sits down, she drinks water first and slowly raises the spoon.
“Did you also call the head of the special division?”
“Yes. To convince the head of the reinforcement department, we need to have something to appeal to. Even me and the president are sufficient, but if there is even a manager, we have no choice but to skip it.”
Baek Seo-yeon made a plausible excuse on the spot and answered calmly.
In fact, I had no intention of even calling Irev.
It was only intentional to set the numbers because it was annoying to see the three managers gathered around Jin-ha Kang.
There was a feeling that he acted a little impulsively, but it was already done and there was no turning back.
“Um… definitely not a bad way. But like you said, maybe one day you’ll change your mind?”
“That is unavoidable. It’s literally just a recommendation. In the long run, our goal is to work as a team to fight against each other, and in the short term, we can go with the feeling that we should get to know each other even while we are in Miterici.”
Seo Hyun-woo nodded his head slightly and answered instead.
Originally, the first step in the plan was to slowly recruit the apostles and the Kraxis Church through Baek Seo-yeon and Ryu Seon-hwa, and then slowly recruit them one by one.
After that, he was going to recruit the executives of the student council in Miterichi and further target the Black Hunters and the Setinos Hunters.
Although the order was slightly out of order, if it was Choi Jae-yeon, it wouldn’t be bad if I contacted him beforehand.
“Ah, hello. You called me, so I came here once.”
“You really have come all the way to the president. There were managers over there.”
Irev Kanasual and Choi Jae-yeon arrived in order and took their seats.
Seo Hyun-woo orders cake and coffee separately and just watches Baek Seo-yeon.
Baek Seo-yeon took a sip of coffee and slowly opened her mouth.
“You may be wondering why I called you all separately. The head of the special division just needs to quietly feed him. If it’s not enough, make more.”
“Ah yes.”
Irev did not even understand why he was called, and began to savor coffee and cake.
Choi Jae-yeon feels tense and looks at Baek Seo-yeon and Seo Hyun-woo.
Above all, the atmosphere was so bleak that I couldn’t even touch a glass of water.
“Director of the Ganghwa Department, let me ask you a few questions first. Do you have any plans in mind after graduating from Miterich?”
“Um… well. I don’t have anything separate. You still have two years left.”
“Then do you have any goals?”
“It is. My goal is to become a black hunter before I turn 20. And before I turn 30, I want to become a Setinos Hunter.”
Seo Hyun-woo quietly listens and leans over his coffee.
In the original story, Jaeyeon Choi was promoted to Black Hunter after turning 30.
Of course, with a little help, he would have been able to become a Black Hunter before he turned 30.
“Then we must prepare diligently from now on.”
“It is, but… it won’t be easy even if you work hard. From there, it’s the realm of talent.”
“If the president and I help, wouldn’t it be possible? Perhaps the head of the special division can also help the head of the reinforcement division.”
Hearing this, Irev stops while eating the cake.
It seemed that he now knew why Baek Seo-yeon had called her.
However, I thought it would seem a little strange that Baek Seo-yeon, not Seo Hyeon-woo, stepped forward.
“Then thank you. But I don’t think they’ll do it for free.”
“you’re right. By analogy, it is an investment-like concept. It’s looking at the future after completing Miterichi.”
“…so the president and vice president are trying to recruit me in advance right now?”
“The president has already agreed. Even if I change my mind on the way, I won’t be resentful. I don’t know if it’s a human thing.”
Jae-yeon Choi carefully turns her head and looks at Hyun-woo Seo.
Seo Hyun-woo smiles softly and doesn’t say anything.
It meant that I did not intend to force it, and it also meant that everything Baek Seo-yeon said was correct.
“Do I have to decide on this right now?”
“I hope to give you a definite answer within a week, if not immediately. Are you satisfied with this, too?”
“It looks like I don’t need to go out.”
Seo Hyun-woo exchanged glances with Baek Seo-yeon for a moment, and then immediately picked up the spoon.
Baek Seo-yeon thought that she still had something to say.
“Now let me give you a brief description of the president. As you may already know, President has been mentioned as a candidate for Setinos Hunter. Even now, we are holding meetings with the Setinos Hunters. He did a great job in Cheorwon and took care of all the accidents in Miterichi by himself.”
“I don’t think it’s all of them.”
“Then let’s say most of it. This is the most important thing, the president has never lost since entering Miterici. Neither me nor any of the managers could win. It’s not something anyone can do, and it’s a first in Miteric’s history.”
It was a lengthy explanation, but Choi Jae-yeon and Irev had no choice but to understand.
It wasn’t called the strongest in the school for nothing, isn’t that enough reason for Setinos Hunters and Black Hunters to be interested?
Recently, there was even a rumor that he would become a Setinos Hunter as soon as he graduated from Miterich.
“In summary, seize the opportunity quickly. I can’t even predict how many people will be next to you in the future.”
I didn’t exaggerate or lie unnecessarily.
I only told the facts that actually happened, and the speculation should also be considered reasonable.
Baek Seo-yeon also realized these aspects, so she wanted to hold hands with Seo Hyun-woo in advance.
“Then the vice-president and the head of the special division are on the side of the president?”
“For once, yes. If you don’t want it to be a little bit, you’ll be back soon.”
“This part is the same for me. If you can’t maintain an appropriate level, there’s no reason to be on the same side as you guys.”
Seo Hyun-woo reveals his position and gives a warning in advance.
To be with him, he had to become a purple hunter, no matter how bad he was.
If he could not overcome even that, it would only be a hindrance to himself and his allies.
“Is there anyone else on the president’s side besides the one here?”
“There is not. You will find out later.”
Choi Jae-yeon swallows dry saliva and looks at Baek Seo-yeon and Irev.
After those two, he was chosen by Seo Hyun-woo.
In other words, it was placed third in the recruitment rankings, so it may have been judged that the value was high in its own way.
‘You must accept this. The president can’t recommend anyone to hire him. If you are already preparing for two years from now, you must have something in mind.’
***
It was about 22 days after the winter vacation started.
The weather got colder, and we could see occasional snow.
Even in this situation, Seo Hyun-woo has been participating in training every day.
It wasn’t a very helpful training for me, but didn’t it mean to be with people who would be on my side?
‘Ryu Seon-hwa… What have you been doing all this time, so you only contacted me now?’
Seo Hyun-woo was walking down the street at night, making breath.
Ryu Seon-hwa had called to meet him tonight, so he was on his way to the meeting place.
If he dared to meet at night, it must have been that he had to do something secretly.
‘In the original content, Ryu Seon-hwa never went out of Korea. If I became a variable, there would be only one reason.’
The shadows of three men were cast under the light of the street lamp.
One of them waves to Seo Hyun-woo, revealing a familiar face.
The other two were hiding their identities with their hoods on.
‘Did you come here after killing the archbishop? If that’s the case, then there’s a high probability that those two are the headmasters of other branches. I must have come to check if Kraxis is right.’
