chapter 29
Part 29
“…you are making a dangerous statement. Are you telling me to cheat on you?”
“You’re not married yet, are you? It’s impossible to marry a woman who doesn’t really exist. And I haven’t said anything or touched the president yet.”
“So you mean you won’t say unnecessary words and actions?”
“Of course it is. The president and I are not dating yet, are we?”
Seo Hyun-woo removes his smile and puts on a grim expression.
In fact, it didn’t matter how Irev behaved.
Because it’s true that I don’t have a girlfriend.
However, since there was an external position, wrong actions would cause controversy.
“If you do something that could be misunderstood, you endanger not only you, but also my position. Are you sure you know that?”
“That’s why I told you at the closing meeting. He said he wanted to see the president up close, but he never said he loved him. And it was the managers who took it as a confession, and I never said so.”
“Did you make a hole in advance to get out?”
“It’s like a pun. Words are up to interpretation.”
Irev responds with a lively tone and shows clear eyes.
In other words, all the remarks made in the conference room should have been intentional.
While attracting Seo Hyun-woo’s attention, he indirectly revealed his intentions to other managers.
“You have expressed love as war with your mouth. If so, can the remarks I made last time be regarded as a declaration of war?”
“It depends on what you think. If you are interested in the president, you will see me as your enemy, and if you are not interested in it, wouldn’t you just say so?”
“Did you even try to find your mate in that situation?”
“I never thought of that. You couldn’t even see it?”
Irev didn’t even show a sign of hesitation.
He just smiled brightly and gave a bright answer.
Of course, unlike him, Seo Hyun-woo had no choice but to change his thoughts on Irev.
‘You look innocent, but you have a clever side. That’s why the original Seo Hyun-woo hated Irev.’
In terms of weight, Irev Kanasuel was not a heroine, but only a student with the title of director.
Therefore, there were not many parts that were described, and even if it was written, only the parts that were criticized by Seo Hyun-woo were seen.
Perhaps the original Seo Hyun-woo was trying to keep distance, thinking that Irev was doing something annoying.
“I know a little bit about you. You must be seen as a student who is highly likely to cause riots.”
“Isn’t that rare? I’ve already been scolded enough to be scolded by the vice-president.”
“no. You are too much like the head of the transformation department. Failure to draw a line in advance will only cause accidents. From now on, you must not say or do anything that could be controversial. In the case of the first detection, we will ask for a verbal warning, and in the case of the second detection, we will request disciplinary action from the Ministry of Security.
“Finally, you are paying attention to me. As you said, we will act with caution in the future.”
Irev responds cheerfully while showing a strange smile.
It seemed as if he was showing satisfaction that he had achieved what he wanted.
Seo Hyun-woo has a solemn expression on his face, yet he has doubts about Irev’s reaction.
‘Should Irev be considered as a variable? As far as I know, it wouldn’t have a big impact on the content…’
***
Jae-Yeon Choi.
He is the current head of the 6th Reinforcement Division, and he was also an Awakener of the Singularity, who possesses both enchantment and shape system abilities.
The weapon he mainly used was a sword, and he did not have to carry a weapon because he had the ability to form.
In other words, when fighting, all you had to do was hold a weapon embodied in the form-based ability and strengthen the body with the reinforcement-based ability.
‘The structure of the student council is getting weirder. Of the eight executives, there are only two men.’
Choi Jae-yeon was being re-inspected by Seo Hyeon-woo and Baek Seo-yeon while supplementing the points pointed out during the internal inspection of the department.
It’s something I’ve noticed recently, but I thought the atmosphere in the conference room was getting weirder.
Above all, it seemed that a strange pressure was weighing him down every time he attended a meeting.
‘The problem is that the president’s presence is too big. I can only think of being pushed aside as the same man. Besides, your rank is higher than mine, right?’
Choi Jae-yeon has been conscious of Seo Hyun-woo more than necessary.
In the past, Seo Hyun-woo was arrogant and picky, so I was able to take pride in that I was better in terms of personality.
But now, he looked like a normal person to the point of being overly normal, and he had good looks and skills, so he had no choice but to feel inferior.
‘Starting with the vice president, it seems that all the managers are looking at only the president. So is the head of the special department who came in recently. Did you openly tell the president that you were interested?’
Choi Jae-yeon inevitably felt alienated.
Even though I was compared to Seo Hyun-woo, I felt a sense of distance from the other managers.
In addition, I wondered if the situation was made worse by the appearance of Irev Kanasual.
‘Am I being bullied? Maybe we’re just getting along, laughing and talking to each other, except for me. Did you secretly set up a chat room for me?’
Jaeyeon Choi stops in front of the conference room feeling a subtle fear.
It was not likely that Seo Hyun-woo would deliberately shun him.
Perhaps it was because of the gap between Seo Hyun-woo and himself that he was naturally culled.
‘Even the head of the transformation department is stalking me? Still, it’s the only thing we’ve exchanged a few words with… How did I end up like this?’
Jae-yeon Choi began to find a solution, falling into a sense of wonder.
No matter what he did, he would not be able to overcome Seo Hyun-woo’s presence.
If that’s the case, I thought I might have to think a little differently.
‘I can’t beat the president… Should I also stick to the president? I’m a little bit too teasy. how should…’
“As expected, the Ganghwa Department’s medical room seems to have a problem accommodating a large number of people. Even with the improvement, it doesn’t seem like anything has changed. Is there any space in the reinforcement section that can be used separately?”
“…”
“Director of the Ganghwa Department, are you listening to me?”
“Yeah, huh? What did I do wrong?
Jaeyeon Choi wakes up late and looks around.
Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon were looking at themselves with expressionless faces.
He must have said something, but he couldn’t remember what he was saying.
“Are you thinking of something else during the inspection?”
“sorry. I was rude without realizing it.”
“…I asked if there was any empty space in the reinforcement department that could be used as a medical room.”
“It’s an empty space… there are a few warehouses, but I don’t know if it can be used as a medical room. First of all, it is far from the existing medical room, and the space is not that big.”
“We have to expand the medical room somehow. In this state, exclusive medical staff cannot function properly, and they cannot manage sudden injuries. What would you do if the untreated wounded even died?”
Seo Hyun-woo goes around the inside of the medical room and continues to point out problems.
Jae-yeon Choi repeats the words “I will correct it” and writes down the points pointed out in the notebook in order.
Baek Seo-yeon followed the two of them and checked the inside of the medical room from time to time.
‘Is it necessary to be so meticulous? It is not possible to completely compensate for all the shortcomings. There’s no way the president doesn’t know that.’
Baek Seo-yeon looks at Seo Hyun-woo and then bursts into laughter.
I don’t know why, but I thought there was a sense of alienation.
If it had been Seo Hyun-woo in the past, he would have come up with an appropriate compromise by separating the practical and formal parts.
But now, aren’t they pointing out even the formal parts and scrutinizing them one by one?
‘…I think you’re working too hard. You can’t do it that hard.’
Baek Seo-yeon stops her steps, showing her eyes filled with regret.
He always tried to surpass Seo Hyun-woo, but never tried to help.
Of course, he was assisting with office work, but wasn’t that something he had to do according to the position he was given?
“Huh… I can’t see the end. Let’s end it here for now. I know it can’t be completely solved. Do as much as you can and report back.”
“…don’t do that.”
“Now I have to go to the equipment storage room.”
Jaeyeon Choi nodded and took the lead to give directions.
Seo Hyun-woo follows behind him and secretly whispers to Baek Seo-yeon.
“Vice-Chairman, is there something bad about the Ganghwa Department?”
“I have never heard of it. There must be something I can’t say.”
Seo Hyun-woo looks at Choi Jae-yeon’s back with a puzzled look.
There was no way Jaeyeon Choi had anything to worry about.
Didn’t he finish Miterichi while maintaining the position of manager without any problems in terms of content?
It wasn’t that there was no connection with Kang Jin-ha, but it didn’t mean much, so it was not strange to say that he was actually a supporting actor.
‘Actually, Jae-Yeon Choi doesn’t have much presence. The other managers have a lot of importance because they are heroines, but Jaeyeon Choi is treated as a student belonging to a fairly strong axis. But for me, that’s better.’
Seo Hyun-woo highly valued Choi Jae-yeon.
He also had the position of manager of Miterichi, and his skills as an Awakener were quite good.
In fact, didn’t Jae-yeon Choi become a disciple of Setinos Hunter right after graduating from Miterichi?
Moreover, since it was rarely related to the main event, even if it was made into an ally, it would not even create a variable.
‘Not everyone can become a disciple of Setinos Hunter. You’ll come with me later, but… it’s too late by then. It would be better to make them a colleague as soon as possible.’
Choi Jae-yeon did not have any personal problems like Ahn Jung-hoon, the former head of the special division.
Besides, like Seo Hyun-woo, he was a member of the student council, so he could easily contact him at any time.
Perhaps we will never see an Awoken again with such perfect conditions.
‘I think Baek Seo-yeon believes in me to some extent. Choi Jae-yeon is a little bit, but it seems that he is curious about me. It seems like if Jin Se-hee is well-behaved, something will happen…’
Baek Seo-yeon was also a heroine, but I had a bit of a mixed feeling with Kang Jin-ha, so I had to take her with me.
I thought that Jin Se-hee was still quite interested in Seo Hyun-woo.
However, he should not have intervened recklessly with people other than these.
‘Min Ha-young and Lee Da-jeong have too much weight, so we have to be careful. Not to mention Yoo Si-eun. The two heroines outside Miterichi…’
Seo Hyun-woo stopped thinking there and slowly shook his head.
I thought it would be a little too heavy to handle the heroines outside of Miterichi.
That’s because one was the head of a pseudo-cult, and the other was one of the Setinos Hunters.
‘Actually, you don’t have to. You can use it in reverse through Jinha Kang. It would be better to stick with the Setinos Hunters rather than the pseudo-cult. It’s better to make famous hunters your allies than criminals.’
