Possessed an Academy Security Guard

5 – 005. Scenario Quest

Kwon Chang-wook shook his head as he saw Chae-yeon poking out from the corner.

“Has it already been 15 days? That woman is also extremely sincere. It’s probably what Team Leader Min told me to do.”

I was the target of Chae So-yeon’s surveillance. However, since Kwon Chang-wook was also assigned to the same work place as me, he couldn’t help but pay attention.

“I thought it would be nice to have a fresh newcomer come in after a long time, but it looks like I will be taken away by the Special Response Division again.”

When he said that, he looked like he had half given up.

Special Countermeasures Division of the Guard.

Unlike the general department, which is composed of people who are not at the level of superhumans, the actual combat unit of the guards is composed of superhumans who are all members.

Its strength and stature were never inferior to those of many middle-ranking guilds. Unlike the general department, where academy graduates don’t even look at it, the special countermeasures department used to attract quite a few graduates every year.

‘So during the interview, the general manager couldn’t even write a page to the team leader, Min Chaeryeong.’

Even though the rank of chief was higher, there seemed to be a strange ranking relationship according to the difference between departments. It’s like the difference between One ○’s Navy Headquarters and the Navy Branch.

“Tell me in advance if it goes over. If there is a gap in the number of people, we have to fill it up right away.”

Most people in the general department, including Kwon Chang-wook, seemed to believe that I would be transferred to the special countermeasures department. The fact that Min Chae-ryeong’s subordinates are watching me means that she is keeping an eye on me.

Min Chaeryeong. Even within her guard, she was known for her talent greed that was unmatched. When she finds someone who seems useful by her own standards, or, as she puts it, ‘wants to have’, she does everything she can to bring them under her. It doesn’t matter if the target is a front-line hunter, a criminal, or a member of another section of the guard.

The official number of the Special Countermeasures Division Team 2, led by Chaeryeong Min, is 7 people.

However, she also had a number of unofficial subordinates she gathered from various places. No one but her knows the exact size. However, it was a self-evident fact that all of them were talented people with outstanding abilities.

If Min Chae-ryeong covets me, she’s probably aiming for my intelligence.

Intelligence that uncovered crimes in the academy that even the guards couldn’t find out.

Whether it’s an individual’s research skills, a wide-ranging network of people, or something completely unimaginable and ingenious. Min Chae-ryeong must have an eye on my ability and want to possess me.

The general and people thought roughly like this. However, there was a part that I did not understand as I had just joined the guard.

“By the way, is it possible for a team leader to take me to the special task department at will?”

“It’s because you don’t know menstruation here. If you’re a special officer and a team leader, you’re pretty quick-witted even in the guards. Besides, team leader Min is a woman who does what she needs to do.”

“No matter how smart a team leader is, wouldn’t a team leader have the right to transfer?”

“It’s not impossible if that one team leader has connections with the head of the academy as well as the head of the guard. It’s not possible in principle, but I don’t want to be seen by the high-ranking people, so everyone seems to be quiet.”

It was only then that I understood their reaction. Certainly, if you have such a strong network, you can change the affiliation of a new recruit at will.

“Suho. If I ask you to come from there, will you pass?”

“I don’t know yet.”

It wasn’t a bad choice to move to the special department. If you are there, you will be able to make a network that will help you in the future.

But this time, too, my pitiful ability was an obstacle.

The Special Investigation Department is a place where all sorts of eccentrics are scattered. Even if I went to the Special Affairs Division with stupid words, I would only be treated like a lump of baggage.

Anyway, whenever I tried to do something, this body was the problem.

Damn the Pleasure Heaven Demon.

“Why is your face so bloody?”

“Because life is hard.”

“If you’re already tired, it’s a bit like that. How are you going to hold on when the new semester starts next month? Will it really taste like death then?”

Yes. It will taste like death. The taste of porridge I think and the taste of porridge Kwon Chang-wook thinks may have completely different meanings.

“Well, you must have been bored guarding the guard room, so take a break and come back. Bring a cigarette or something.”

“Thank you.”

Thanks to his consideration, I left the security room and headed for the smoking area. Even during vacation, there were quite a few people using the training ground, and in the smoking area, several students gathered in groups of two and three and smoked cigarettes.

Some students glanced at me. Ignoring their gaze, I put a cigarette in my mouth.

‘I need to cut down on smoking too.’

Since coming to this world, the amount of smoking has almost doubled. It was all because life was hard.

“Whoop whoop.”

I blankly looked up at the white cigarette smoke. It was as if my complicated mind was being washed away.

-Titling!

At that moment, without any warning, a system message popped up.

—–

[ Quest occurs! ]

—–

‘!!’

I extinguished the cigarette I was drinking and focused on the message in front of me.

Quest notifications appearing after almost 2 weeks.

As I read through the series of messages, I was immediately taken aback.

—–

[ Scenario quest occurs! ]

[ Finally, the moment has come for you to play an active part! An assassin from the main villain organization ‘Dawn Team’, who appeared tirelessly in , Is aiming for the life of ‘Ji Ye-won’, a traitor to the organization and a student at the academy! Defeat the assassin and save her life! ]

[ Ji Ye-won is a Green House student and a ‘main character’ set in the system! If Yewon Ji dies, you die as a penalty! ]

[ Displays the location information of the predicted location of the incident in the field of view! ]

[ Remaining time until incident: 2 days 10 hours 43 minutes 15 seconds. ]

1) 3% Increase in expense ratio (current expense ratio 2%)

2) Intermediate Recovery Potion

3) Rating rise

—–

“…… Her?”

I wondered if I had read it wrong, so I read the finished message slowly from the top again.

To fight the assassin of the villain organization without any context. And that if I failed the quest, I would die too.

Until there, I could understand. Although the difficulty was high for a first regular quest, the Heavenly Demon of Pleasure was originally that kind of guy.

‘Ji Ye-won?’

Still, I can’t help but be embarrassed.

‘…… Who is that?’

It was because the character mentioned as the main character was a character I was completely unfamiliar with.

A trickle of cold sweat ran down my back.

***

White ashes flowed from the end of the burnt cigarette like crumbling.

I immediately took out my next cigarette. The cigarette butts I had burned were already piled up on the floor.

‘Let’s clean things up calmly.’

Looking at the message that popped up in front of me, I organized my thoughts.

‘The starting point of the original story is after the main character’s entrance ceremony.’

The Dawning Team, the main villain organization, appears from the dungeon exploration episode. In terms of number of episodes, at least 30 should pass. They’re not the ones who will appear at this point.’

‘In the first place, the name Ji Ye-won is a first for me. Even so, the fact that the character is the main character means that it is one of the two. Either it existed only as a setting and didn’t appear in the original work, or it appeared but the name didn’t come out.’

‘The latter is highly unlikely.’

‘Looking at the name, it must be a woman. Dying at this point means that he is already deceased in the original story. At the same time, a member of the Dawning Corps and an academy student. The way such a character can appear in the original work is extremely limited.’

‘Direct appearance in an episode dealing with the past. Or an indirect appearance borrowed from the mouth of a character.’

‘Whether it’s the former or the latter, there’s no way I wouldn’t remember it if a character with such a distinctive character appeared.’

‘In other words, Ji Ye-won is probably a character that only existed in the setting. Whether she was going to appear later or she remains a MacGuffin, she is a character that did not appear, at least in the original novels I read.’

The more the thoughts popped into my mind, the more they were organized, the more my anger rose.

‘The Heavenly Demon of Pleasure, this bastard is real.’

It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time. My teeth trembled at the stupidity of the guy.

‘Complaining doesn’t change the situation. Now I have to think about how to complete this quest.’

Fortunately, there are still two days left. Even if it’s not a long time, it’s probably enough time to come up with countermeasures.

‘Defeat the assassin and save her life, La.’

If you’re an assassin who’s come to punish traitors, you’re sure to excel. There’s no way I can win by standing head-on alone.

The cooperation of the guards……. It must be hard to find.’

The Dawning Team is the most representative villain organization. And even though Yewon Ji is a traitor, she was a member of that organization.

No matter how much Ji Ye-won was an academy student, she was a criminal after all. Seek the cooperation of her guards to save her? Let alone cooperation, it would be fortunate if this side was not suspected of being a member of the Dawning Corps.

Even if I claim my innocence on this side, no one will believe me unless I can reveal the source of the information.

Of course, if there is no way to fix it, we have no choice but to ask the judge. It’s an afterthought, it’s a nabal, and I have to live for now.

‘Wait a minute?’

At that moment, the existence of Min Chaeryeong came to mind.

‘I don’t know if it’s someone from the other guards, but if it’s Min Chae-ryeong, I think she’ll be able to rub it.’

Min Chae-ryeong says she wants to recruit me. She also has the authority or power to cover pretty much anything. She was the perfect partner to seek cooperation from.

Of course, if you bring in Min Chae-ryeong, you will inevitably have to explain how you found out about Ji Ye-won or the Ryeo-ryeong.

I didn’t think that Min Chaeryeong would fall for my excuse again, since she had already been fooled by Professor Shin Jin-woo’s case.

‘I will have to endure that much. It would be more convenient to deal with Chaeryeong Min alone than to explain to the entire guard.’

Even if there are doubts in the explanation, Min Chaeryeong is somewhat relieved.

What Chaeryeong Min wants is my intelligence. As long as I’m asking for the right information, even if I’m a bit late, I won’t pursue the matter right away.

‘…… Good. Decided.’

After that, I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn’t come up with a better plan than seeking Min Chaeryeong’s cooperation.

I immediately tried to contact Chaeryeong Min by calling the special agent and extension number.

I tried but-

“…… A business trip?”

-Yes. The team leader has been dispatched outside since this Wednesday. He’ll probably be back next Monday.

My heart sank at the news like thunder from the blue sky.

There was no disappointment like this. The time indicated by the quest timer is 2:00 a.M. From Sunday to Monday. By the time Min Chaeryeong returns, it will be too late.

“…… All right. Then, could you tell me the personal phone number of Team Leader Min Chae-ryeong?”

-Uh uh. That is… ….

The crew over the phone blurted out his words as if he was in trouble.

-The team leader is quite sensitive about personal information. Just give me a number.

“How can you not?”

– Sorry. If you have something urgent to tell me, I can convey it to you instead.

It was not a matter to pass on through others. In the end, I had no choice but to sigh and lower the receiver.

‘What to do with this?’

Think about it. There must be a way. Is there a way to personally contact Chaeryeong Min without being noticed by other employees?

“Ah.”

At that time, blonde hair snooping out of the corner of my vision caught my eye.

– Snooping.

My eyes met with the vegetable-yeon who was watching over me. Surprised, her eyes widened, and she ran to the back of the building with stomping steps.

At the same time, I came up with a way to break this situation.

‘…… Now that it’s like this, it’s a judge’s decision.’

I clenched my fists as I looked in the direction where Chae-yeon disappeared.

***

That night.

I stopped at a convenience store to buy a simple snack and headed home. When I glanced back, the vegetable-yeon that had been waiting nearby chased after me with reckless steps.

As soon as I turned the corner, I pressed myself against the wall. As she held her breath and waited, the sound of distant footsteps, ‘do-do-do-do’, came closer and closer.

Soon, the moment when the vegetable kite appeared over the corner.

– Wow!

I hugged her as hard as I could.

“Eh?”

There were no ill intentions. It was meant to temporarily subdue.

Since there is a difference of almost 30cm in height between Chae-yeon and mine, Chae-yeon in her arms suddenly looked like she was half-hanging on me with her feet floating in the air.

I picked up the vegetable kite and pushed it against the wall. Again, I never had any ill intentions.

A look of bewilderment appeared on Chae-yeon’s face at my actions. Her eyes widened.

“Uwaaah? Wait, wait! Let this go! Let this go! Why are you hugging me all of a sudden?!”

“Mr. Chae So-yeon.”

I said, desperately holding on to her as she struggled with her childish voice.

“What?! What?! Why are you looking so serious? Why are you doing this to me!? Could it be that you-.”

“Could you listen to me for a minute? I have something to tell Team Leader Min Chaeryeong.”

“Eh?”

At those words, Chae-yeon stopped moving.

“To our team leader… ?”

She looked up at me with her eyes wide open.
