The Student Council President Is a Top-Notch Extra

Episode 17

Seo Hyun-woo gets up from his seat, taking his eyes off the monitor with the official window open.

The battle suit had a different purpose than the battle suit that the Awakened mainly used.

Wasn’t it a combat device for the non-Awakened, that is, civilians, and a product that many companies are keen to develop?

‘There are many companies that develop battle suits, but there are only a handful of places where there are practicalities. And one of those companies offered me a performance test.’

Seo Hyun-woo felt thirsty and immediately poured water into the coffee pot.

In fact, companies that develop battle suits have frequently requested performance tests on current hunters or students of hunter training institutes.

But so far, there has not been a single company that has asked the Miterichi student council president himself to test the performance of the battle suit.

‘Oh, now I’m not the company president, but the development team leader. Because my father is the president of a magic stone processing company, he receives generous capital support. It might be better to buy the company stock in advance.’

Seo Hyun-woo is troubled as he thinks of the funds in his bankbook.

The development team leader who requested this performance test was a person who would leave a big name in the history of the battle suit.

Only after establishing a separate company with the help of his father would the development of the battle suit be spurred.

‘You have to strike a good balance. The development speed shouldn’t be slow, but it’s also a problem if it’s too fast. Because we don’t know how it will affect the future content.’

Seo Hyun-woo checks that the water in the coffee pot is boiling and pours it straight into the teacup.

It was very important to keep the flow of the content and the occurrence of events.

That way, you will be able to smoothly lay your foundation while predicting the future.

However, because of him, the process was gradually being reversed, and there was no way to turn it around.

‘Since it’s been done before, it might be better to commit it bigger. In the end, no matter what process you go through, you only need to become strong. I just need to watch the situation in moderation and move.’

Seo Hyun-woo gives up on thinking early and goes back to his work desk.

Perhaps even if a variable occurred, a major event would inevitably occur.

This meant that no matter how twisted the flow was, the information he had was not meaningless.

If you acted a little smarter here, you might have made a huge profit.

‘Let’s think well. After that, Baek Seo-yeon will see me again a little bit. Before becoming a heroine, Baek Seo-yeon is the vice president of Miterichi’s student body. Its abilities are also rare and powerful. If only I could make you a friend…’

smart.

Seo Hyun-woo senses that Baek Seo-yeon has arrived and takes something out of the drawer.

Baek Seo-yeon goes straight inside with a paper bag.

“I’m curious what you brought with you, but the other parts stand out more.”

“It was a gift from the president, so it must have stood out.”

Baek Seo-yeon places a paper bag on the desk and discovers something.

It was a small box wrapped in wrapping paper and ribbon.

If my memory is correct, haven’t I recently received an item similar in size to that box?

“I was going to do what you said. I just bought it.”

“…I was a little nervous, but I didn’t know you would really buy it.”

“You can’t get a refund for that. Just take it.”

Seo Hyun-woo hands a gift box and sips a teacup.

He had bought a hairpin that had been broken due to the last incident.

However, Seo-yeon Baek had repaired the hairpin and was wearing it on both sides of her head.

“Let’s do that. I didn’t come empty-handed either.”

“Are you going to give me a present?”

“It must be similar. Because it seemed like you were like this.”

Baek Seo-yeon quickly takes the gift box and walks towards the coffee pot.

Seo Hyun-woo glances inside the paper bag and confirms its identity.

Boxes of various colors were placed all over the place.

“What is this?”

“It is a nutritional supplement. You should eat breakfast, lunch and dinner separately. It will help with malnutrition and lack of sleep.”

“…you seem to have taken care of yourself. Let me thank you.”

Seo Hyun-woo puts the paper bag inside the desk and moves to the sofa.

He liked the hairpin so much that he repaired it and wore it.

It wasn’t enough to complement the design, so isn’t there a dull black color from the hairpin?

“I didn’t know you could use it like that when it was cut in half.”

“It’s a waste to throw it away.”

“We even processed it with magic stones.”

“It is enough to break once.”

Seo-yeon Baek answered calmly and sat down on the sofa holding a teacup.

Pale purple flower hairpins hung side by side on both sides of Baek Seo-yeon’s head, split in half.

Since the outer part of the hairpin was processed with magic stones, it would not be easily broken.

“Making gemstones is quite expensive…”

“The notice has come down. Are you willing to accept the request for performance testing of the battle suit?”

Baek Seo-yeon pretends not to know anything and mentions the official document first.

Seo Hyun-woo seemed to remain silent for a while, but then he opened his mouth.

“I intend to do it. I don’t want to be outside the eyes of the president and the administration for nothing.”

“I know it’s not forced. If you feel uncomfortable, you can say no.”

“There is nothing wrong with me. I can expand my network while receiving a separate labor fee.”

“…if you think so, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. The company leading this performance test is known to be the best in Korea only for the magic stone processing industry.”

gemstone processing.

It was known as an industry that made mana stones hidden in the dungeon beyond the gate or obtained from monsters to be used in various fields.

Since it is almost impossible to actually use pure Manastone, it was to be reborn in a usable form through a special process.

If you had a lot of money, wouldn’t it be possible to sharply increase the efficiency of manastone processing by using high-quality manastones?

“The vice president might think I’m a snob.”

“I never think so. You can’t be the student council president in Miterichi forever, can you?”

“It is not. I don’t have any background or personal connections, so I have to prepare in advance. Wouldn’t that make it meaningful to retain the seat of the student council president?”

“Looks like you have other plans.”

“Not necessarily. Just getting ready. You never know what will happen.”

Seo Hyun-woo revealed a little bit of his inner feelings and answered honestly.

He continued to hold out because of the condition that he completed Miterichi while maintaining his position as student council president.

I was just preparing ahead of time because I didn’t know what other conditions would be imposed after I completed the course.

“The president was also a person who said that he was worried. He always seemed relaxed, so I thought he had a corner to believe in.”

“I am not a god. If at least I can become a Setinos Hunter, there is nothing to worry about.”

“… I think the president can do it. The amount of power and magical power you have is so amazing.”

Setinos Hunter.

It was a rating given to those who had the best skills among many hunters, and who made great achievements.

There were only seven Awakened Setinos Hunters, and each one was given a title appropriate to their color.

The influence and recognition of Setinos Hunter was so overwhelming that even the committee and the government could not easily oppose it.

“You don’t need to float like that. You should know my subject. If I could only become a Black Hunter, I could be satisfied with that.”

Hunter ranks in this world are divided into seven levels.

Cetinos, Black, Purple, Green, Yellow, Blue, Red.

Normally, it would be difficult to even exceed the green grade, but if it was Seo Hyun-woo’s ability, it would have been possible to reach the purple grade no matter how bad it was.

“The Black Hunter is also highly rated. It is not easy to become a green hunter.”

“Oh, that’s right. I remember your uncle was also a Black Hunter.”

“you’re right. Right now, instead of going directly to dungeon subjugation, you are focusing on subjugation planning and city policing.”

The Black Hunters were veterans who were recognized for their strength and skill, if not as much as the Setinos Hunters.

Except in special cases, he was supposed to be in charge of field command or rear support without being involved in dungeon subjugation.

Baek Seo-yeon’s uncle was one of those cases, and the other Black Hunters wouldn’t even try to fight directly unless they were aggressive.

“Doesn’t your uncle have the powers of the Ganghwa system different from yours?”

“Ability is mediocre. However, he became a Black Hunter because he excelled in power, magic, and technique.”

“If you knew that much, you must have done a few battles.”

“I lost everything. Even though I watched it, I couldn’t even win.”

“I will. You are a Black Hunter.”

But Baek Seo-yeon’s uncle could not be seen as a black hunter in terms of skills alone.

Even though he had a chance to become a Setinos Hunter, he didn’t give up.

The reason for giving up the opportunity was very simple and clear.

Because Baek Seo-yeon, who lost her parents, needed enough time and leisure to properly raise her.

“I would like to see you again later. It would be better if I could be taught.”

“Does the president also need learning? There seems to be no need for that.”

“The ability to copy is not universal. Real experience and combat sense cannot be obtained even by copying abilities. Just by fighting Black Hunter, we can improve that part a little bit.”

“…you are right. If there is an opportunity, we will try to create a seat.”

Hearing this, Seo Hyun-woo is satisfied in his heart, but he does not show it with his expression.

The more allies, the better, and if you can get stronger, your chances of survival will increase.

Above all else, if you were a Black Hunter who was no different than a Setinos Hunter, wouldn’t it be worth it?

‘The wider the network, the better. You can get help, and there is room to intervene in various areas. From that point of view, it’s good to have a close relationship with the president of Miterichi…’

Naturally, meeting Setinos Hunter in person was not an easy task.

Befitting its name and reputation, many schedules were scheduled, and some did not consider the approach of outsiders cumbersome.

However, since Seo Hyun-woo was the student council president of Miterichi, he could have made time for a brief conversation with the president.

“Now it is time to leave school. Have you finished all your work?”

“Yes. I was also thinking of going soon.”

“Are you going to training again?”

“You have to work hard to beat the president.”

“It’s good to see them being the same. If you have that kind of sincerity, you can still beat me.”

“Effort is not enough. There are also talent and luck factors.”

Seo-yeon Baek leaves the student council president’s office with a meaningful statement.

He may have already concluded in his heart that he cannot defeat Seo Hyun-woo.

But there was still time, so I thought I would do as much as I could.

Baek Seo-yeon unconsciously looked down at the gift in her hand and sighed, albeit shallowly.

‘Hmm… this hairpin must also be manastoned. It costs some money, but it can’t be helped. It will be difficult if it breaks like last time.’
