chapter 30
30
In general, the greater the number of heroines in any novel, the more diverse the characters and backgrounds.
In this world, there were tens of thousands of heroines, so that rule could be applied sufficiently.
In other words, there could be at least one insane heroine among them.
‘Usually, it’s correct to call me a crazy bitch… But after meeting Jinha Kang, I got out of the church and worked hard to live as kindly as possible. Because I didn’t mean to go crazy.’
But even considering those aspects, I didn’t want to be involved with her.
Whatever the reason, it was true that illegal drugs were manufactured and distributed in the market through a pseudo-cult.
Besides, by expanding that power, didn’t it damage innocent citizens and awakened people?
‘I can’t figure out what to do at this stage. First of all, the story has to progress, and just because the denomination in Korea is eliminated doesn’t mean everything will be resolved. Because there are also branches of the pseudo-cult in other countries.’
Kraxis Church.
It was the name of the denomination in which the heroine, who is called the Mad Bitch, is active as the headmaster.
It was itself a pseudo-cult that worshiped the Great Evil instead of God, escaping from Christianity, Buddhism, and other religions.
The headmaster of the Korean branch, she must have been carrying out orders half-brained.
‘The victims are still coming out, but there is no way we can help. It’s not easy to find because a small number of believers are working secretly. It is of course more difficult to find a teacher.’
Seo Hyun-woo had already given up the part related to the Craxis Church.
In the first place, Kang Jin-ha was nothing but an enemy to himself, and it would be over if only the headmaster of the Korean branch was attached to Kang Jin-ha.
Above all else, the Church of Kraxis was the enemy that Jinha Kang had to deal with, and it was a separate problem for him.
‘It’s not easy to make a connection with Setinos Hunter. That’s why we need Kang Jin-ha. Because Kang Jin-ha is the main character, he inevitably gets the attention of the Setinos Hunters.’
Seo Hyun-woo had the opportunity to contact the chairman of Miterichi, one of the Setinos Hunters.
However, he thought that was not enough, so he had not come up with a plan to use Kang Jin-ha.
‘Among the Setinos Hunters, the red dragon king and the white saint are most likely. Other than that, it will be a little difficult.’
The red dragon king would show great interest in Kang Jin-ha as an awakener of the same transformation world.
But the white saint was a little different.
Because she was a heroine, no matter what form she approached, she had no choice but to connect with Kang Jin-ha.
‘How am I supposed to intervene here? There aren’t that many opportunities. If it doesn’t work out, at least one of the two will have to make friends…’
“As instructed by the chairman, we replaced all old or worn out equipment, and tried to maximize space utilization by removing unnecessary items. However, due to cost concerns, it is unlikely that the combat equipment will be replaced frequently.”
“…the safety of the students comes before the budget. Let me report that to the president separately.”
Seo Hyun-woo stopped thinking and answered straight away.
After hearing the answer, Jaeyeon Choi puts the battle watch on the reader next to the door.
Then, the lock of the equipment storage room is released with a beep sound.
“It is definitely a lot better than before. But the space is still small. Because the reinforcement unit mainly engages in close combat, equipment management must be thorough. And it might be a good fit for the barrier system…”
Seo Hyun-woo entered the equipment storage room first and began to check carefully.
Baek Seo-yeon silently follows behind him and checks once more where Seo Hyun-woo’s gaze has passed.
Choi Jae-yeon looked at the back of the two for a moment, then moved slowly.
‘It can’t be like this either. I’ll have to look at the opportunity and ask for sure, or find a way to get along. No matter how much I am pushed by the president, I can’t be bullied, right?’
***
Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon finished lunch and headed straight for the building where the security department was located.
Unlike the reinforcement department, the security department had quite a lot of parts to inspect.
Since he had been away from the student council for a long time and followed the instructions of the Ministry of Security, there was not enough time and conditions to fix the chronic problems.
‘The security department is not a place for training and self-development like other departments. A department created to solve problems within Miterichi autonomously among students. As a result, it became a bit of a military-style operation, and budget embezzlement and vicious practices must have been passed down.’
Seo Hyun-woo is greeted by the security staff and quickly passes by.
The number of students belonging to the security department was small compared to other departments.
It was decided that a large number of personnel were not needed because only additional tasks were performed while assisting the security department.
However, due to that trivial misunderstanding, the foundation of the Ministry of Security was shaken, and the vicious cycle has not been repeated until now.
‘I wish I could get to know Yoo Si-eun a little bit through this opportunity, but it must be difficult. I will try to act as carefully as possible to hide the fact that I am a member of Rebellion.’
Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon immediately find something and fix their gaze.
The security guards gathered near the main gate of the security department.
Yoo Si-eun, the head of the security department, and the staff with higher positions had come to meet them in advance.
“Vice President, what’s wrong with that? Anyone who sees it would know that I am the president of Miteric.”
“Even if it’s not to that extent, aren’t you the head of the student council? I think this kind of treatment deserves it.”
“I don’t want to be treated like that at this age. I don’t know what to expect from a single student council president.”
“…If you say that, I will pass it on to the managers separately.”
Seo Hyun-woo nods his head and looks at Yoo Si-eun, who is standing tall.
He had a similar impression to Baek Seo-yeon, but he could not find even a single emotion in his expression or tone of voice.
Only Kang Jin-ha could give Yoo Si-eun a variety of emotions and hope for life.
“We have made preparations in advance so that you can inspect quickly. The issues you pointed out are currently being improved.”
“Don’t let the manager guide you. So that the other members can do their own thing.”
At Seo Hyeon-woo’s instructions, all members except Yoo Si-eun enter the security department first.
Seo Hyun-woo seemed to remain silent for a while, but then slowly opened his mouth.
“Have you not improved the points pointed out yet?”
“sorry. We are now thoroughly examining the books of the budget embezzlement. In the case of abusive practices, it takes a little time to find the members involved.”
“Then did the other parts come to an end for sure?”
“Yes. We’ve made some adjustments to the work rotation and personnel management. The battle watch and combat equipment have all been overhauled.”
“Then let’s check the completed part first.”
“All right.”
Yoo Si-eun lowers her head lightly and takes a step first.
Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon immediately followed and began to think of the parts to be checked in their heads.
Of course, Seo Hyun-woo had a few more things to consider besides that.
‘Si-eun Yoo occupies the highest proportion among the heroines. If you touch it wrong, it will affect Kang Jin-ha as well. For now, I’ll have to decide on a course of action while observing the state.’
***
‘After all, the president has changed a lot compared to the past. There are so many different parts from the rumors. Or maybe the rumor itself is wrong.’
Yoo Si-eun squints at Seo Hyun-woo, who checks the work log, and falls into thoughts.
When I first saw Seo Hyun-woo at the ordinance meeting, I was quite nervous and didn’t just notice.
However, contrary to expectations, he did not show an authoritative or demanding appearance.
He only said a few threatening words to the presidents who tried to deceive the student and vice presidents.
‘In the case of the vice president, it must be said that he has a similar personality to the president. He doesn’t go out unless it’s necessary, and he shows his faithfulness to his work. And when you need to show off your skills, you definitely step forward and throw it away. In some ways, it seems crueler than the president.’
Baek Seo-yeon was checking the personnel system of the security department through the monitor.
Yoo Si-eun suddenly thought that Baek Seo-yeon’s appearance was overlapping.
Only the color of the hair and the shape of the face were different, and the atmosphere and feeling were quite similar.
‘I can’t beat the president at my current level… Then can I beat the vice president?’
Yoo Si-eun seemed to ponder for a moment, but quickly made a decision.
I could hold on to Baek Seo-yeon for a while, but I couldn’t be sure of victory.
Baek Seo-yeon couldn’t beat Seo Hyun-woo alone, but had she not been defeated by other students yet?
‘The strongest number one in the school and the second person who couldn’t beat only the strongest in the school… So, did the rumors spread that they are dating?’
Si-eun Yoo slowly nodded while looking at the two of them in turn.
After becoming the student council president, Seo Hyun-woo never gave up his seat to anyone, and Baek Seo-yeon continued to aim for that position.
It’s not enough to continuously engage in ranked battles, so if we share the same tasks, of course, we can’t help but get closer.
‘Aside from that, it seems to fit pretty well. Because there are many similarities. Recently, we even filmed a promotional video for Miterichi together. Maybe we’re really dating…’
“Certainly, the work rotation is well organized differently from before. After the staff is increased, I will be more relaxed.”
“There doesn’t seem to be any problem with the HR management. The battle results, promotion process, and evaluation of each member’s skills are detailed.”
Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon leave their seats as soon as they finish the inspection.
Then the members who were waiting by the side responded immediately and started to organize computers and files.
“Now we need to check the budget embezzlement and evil practices.”
“Yes. We have reserved a seat in the manager’s office in advance. Would you like to come this way?”
As always, Si-eun Yoo moves first and exits the administrative office.
I was about to go straight to the manager’s office, but a familiar face caught my eye.
Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon also recognize the face and stop walking.
“Ah, hello. long time no see.”
Kang Jin-ha bows his head as he greets the three of them.
Yoo Si-eun later realized why Kang Jin-ha had come to the security department and tried to say something.
However, Seo Hyun-woo opens his mouth first and mentions the reason.
“… Right. After all, it is not right to come to the security department at this point.”
“President, what are you talking about?”
“I’m talking about that friend. He must have come to the chief of the security department because he wanted to become a member of the security department.”
At Seo Hyun-woo’s answer, Yoo Si-eun and Kang Jin-ha can’t hide their surprise and turn their heads at the same time.
Neither of them had ever informed anyone about this.
But how can Seo Hyun-woo know that?
“It’s not that surprising. If you are the student council president, shouldn’t you have such a keen eye?”
