Episode 92

A black luxury car was parked in the Han River parking lot.

Tack-

Someone opened the door and went inside.

“…You are here.”

Cha Ji-yoon bowed her head to the gray-haired old man who had just entered.

“Yes. It’s the first time I’m seeing you in person like this. It is an honour. Jiyoon”

“…No, rather, I am honored. I always got help.”

“hahahaha. Could it be that?”

The gray-haired old man said with a smile.

He was the team leader of the information department of the ‘Samhwa’ group.

“By the way, may I ask why you asked to meet in person today? You always contacted me online, didn’t you?”

The head of the intelligence department said.

“…This one is pretty important.”

“Yes?”

“…This case should not be left behind online by any chance.”

“Isn’t Samhwa Group’s messenger the world’s best security? I don’t think there’s anything to catch the tail.”

“…It’s for the odds. Really, I don’t want anyone to know about this at all.”

“What happened to you?”

Sug-

Cha Ji-yoon took out a document from the bag.

Soon he handed the document to the gray-haired old man.

“…I would like you to investigate the past of the person listed in this document.”

The middle-aged man handed over the documents.

“Yes. I will read it.”

The middle-aged man took out a piece of paper from inside the document and began to read it.

“I am a student named Doyoon Nam. He is currently attending ‘Elpon’ Academy. The record is also very ordinary.”

“…That record is not true.”

“Isn’t that true?”

“…I was with him and saw him for what he really is.”

“What if it was your true self?”

“…Yes. He hides some very, very great power.”

“How much?”

“Would you believe me if I said that ‘Oriental’ guild leader ‘Lee Ki-min’ alone won against 2 opponents who couldn’t guarantee victory?”

“..Huh really?”

The middle-aged man’s eyes went wide.

“…Yes. It’s true. I know that because I experienced it myself. Of course, I never saw him fight in person.”

“Huh… It’s really absurd that a monster like that is a student at ‘Elpon’ Academy.”

“…I knew that he was hiding his power, but I never imagined it would be to this extent.”

“But, is there any reason to remain as an academy cadet while hiding such strong power? If you act as a Hunter, you will already be sweeping away enormous wealth and honor.”

“…That’s why I’m asking you to investigate the background of an academy cadet named Nam Do-yoon.”

“Yes?”

“… He had his parents murdered by ‘Requiem’. So I am sharpening my sword for revenge.”

“…”

“…So he had no choice but to hide his power. If, at least, his true identity is revealed to Requiem, he won’t leave him alone.”

“…Huh. What kind of hardships did you go through at the age of 17?”

“…So I really wanted to know. Who the hell is the demon who killed his parents?”

“….”

“If he can find out the specific identity of the ‘Mine’ who killed his parents, he will be able to achieve his goal.”

“….”

The white-haired man gulped down his saliva.

“Now I understand why we have to meet and talk in person like this. If the record remains and goes at least to the ears of ‘Requiem’, on the day…”

“…Yes. He won’t be safe either, and I’ll probably have to give up my academy life now, and I’ll have to be under 24-hour security.”

“This is really dangerous. Jiyoon-nim, who asks for the investigation, has to bear a huge risk, and even the person doing the investigation has to bear a huge risk.”

“…Yes.”

“Still, if it’s Jiyoon-nim’s request, I have to do it.”

“Thank you.”

“By the way, can I ask one question, Ji-yoon?”

“..Yes. Please tell me.”

“Why do you dare to do such a thing that could put even Ji-yoon in great danger? Isn’t this a good thing for that student named ‘Nam Do-yoon’?”

“…That’s… It is because I received so much from him.”

“…I see. It was the first time I had seen Jiyoon-nim ask for a favor for someone else, so I asked.”

“…Me?”

“Yes. Jiyoon-nim was always the one who only asked for himself. Huh, he must have changed a lot while being with a student named Nam Do-yoon.”

“….”

“Then let this old man step back.”

The gray-haired old man closed the door and went out.

“Keep-“

I got out of bed, stretching as usual.

“What time is it?”

I looked at my watch.

[AM6:30]

School hours are until 8:00.

There is still an hour and a half left.

By the way, I decided to leave a little early this morning.

I’ve felt a lot of lack of stamina lately.

So I try to increase my stamina by going around the playground for one or two laps.

I went out of the dormitory, rubbing my eyes, which were still full of tears.

When I came out, the sun hadn’t risen yet, and there was only a thick fog.

Jerbug-

Jerbug-

The moment I was walking to the playground.

From a while ago, I could feel the presence from behind.

From noble mtl dot com

I looked back.

“…?”

Why is he over there?

Cha Ji-yoon was looking at me with an awkward expression.

“…I met you by chance.”

Cha Ji-yoon said with an awkward expression.

I looked around.

Isn’t this the boys’ dormitory?

How could we meet by chance?

“..A coincidence?”

“…Yes. It’s a coincidence.”

“By the way, why were you in the men’s dormitory?”

“…That’s it.”

Cha Ji-yoon was speechless.

No matter how you look at it, it seems that he was waiting for me to come out in front of my dorm room.

“Did you wait for me in front of my door?”

“…Yes?”

“By the way, this is strange. If a woman wants to enter the boys’ dorm, she will have to pass through the housekeeper’s office.”

“….”

“Because the supervisor wouldn’t have just let me through. Ah! I guess there is a way.”

“…”

“In the supervisor’s room, you can only see people standing, so you can squat down and walk inside.”

“…There’s no way I would do something so informal.”

I glanced at her dress.

She was currently wearing a long skirt.

By the way, there was dirt on the bottom of that skirt.

“… There.”

I pointed my finger at the bottom of her skirt.

Her gaze also followed that direction.

“Is there dirt there? Because you were squatting and coming…”

“…This is ..”

“More than that, why did you wait in front of my door? To the point where I crouched down to pass through the housekeeper’s office.”

“… I squatted and didn’t pass.”

Her cheeks started to turn red.

Teasing Cha Ji-yoon is more fun than I thought.

“…I didn’t wait, but by chance. We met by chance, so I just remembered that we had something to say.”

She said, looking up at the distant mountains.

“Are you going to talk?”

“…The other day, I heard that you are interested in the ‘Crystal’ guild. Are you sure?”

Ah… Is it because rumors spread that you talked to Jin Hye-won separately the other day?

“No. I am not particularly interested in that.”

“…Really?”

At those words, Cha Ji-yoon’s face turned bright.

“Yes. But why?”

“..Are you thinking of joining our ‘Oriental’ guild?”

“Yes?”

“Of course, you don’t just come in as a regular guild member. You can start with the ‘Deputy Guild Leader’ at once. Of course, the salary will also be set enormously accordingly.”

“Yes?”

Suddenly?

Am I becoming the sub guild leader of the ‘Oriental’ guild?

Is that possible?

I am very weak.

“That sounds like a bit difficult.”

If I go in, I’ll soon lose my money because I have fighting power that’s worse than that of a regular guild member.

Then you will become an assistant guild leader who will be eaten by regular guild members.

“…I expected it too, but it’s impossible.”

“Yes. Sorry.”

I’m really weak.

You’ll probably be eaten by regular guild members the moment you enter.

If you go hunting together, even if you can skip one or two times, if you go out together a few times, you can’t uncover the bottom line.

“.. You won against not one, but two opponents that even the ‘Oriental’ guild master couldn’t guarantee victory for.”

“…Yes?”

Cha Ji-yoon stared at me.

He nodded and said.

“…And without a single scar like this. To you, even those two seem insignificant opponents.”

“…Me?”

The story that the president was involved in the matter did not spread.

Because her external activities are kept strictly confidential.

“…For someone with such tremendous power, it would be ridiculous to be the sub guild master. However, as for the guild master position…”

I looked at Cha Ji-yoon without saying a word.

It seems that you are seriously mistaken.

If I enter that guild, my bottom line will soon be revealed.

I gave her a sign of her stubborn refusal with the look in her eyes.

Then Cha Ji-yoon nodded her head and said.

“…As expected. Well, there’s no way someone like you would be satisfied with the position of sub guild master.”

“Yes?”

I was dumbfounded.

“…Then I will do my best to get you into the guild master seat.”

“No.. You don’t have to..”

“..Then I’ll see you again soon with the contract.”

Cha Ji-yoon bowed his head and walked away.
