Possessed an Academy Security Guard

84 – 084. Farewell for a while (1)

※ The second half of episode 083 has been slightly modified. In the process of accepting Midsummer’s offer, I changed the inner description of Ahn Su-ho to be a little more convincing. If you have time, we recommend that you re-read the part (from the part where Ahn Su-ho receives an offer to participate in Midsummer’s Attack).

“Has Midsummer approached you?”

The next day. As soon as I went to work, I immediately explained to Min Chaeryeong what had happened yesterday. Midsummer offered me to participate in the dungeon raid and the process of accepting it.

“…… I don’t know where the young lady got her smell, but she’s pretty annoying.”

“In that situation, I had no choice but to accept the offer. If she had refused, information about me would have spread all over the place.”

When I said it as if to make an excuse, Min Chaeryeong smiled and shook her head.

“I know. If he had refused, the front gate would have been flooded with reporters from the morning. I was talking about an S-class candidate who appeared like a comet. You made a good choice.”

As can be seen from the initial censorship of Kang Ha-neul’s statement, Min Chaeryeong didn’t seem to want me to draw attention from the media. She probably thought that her chess piece would do no good in being noticed. It was an extremely Min Chae-ryeong way of thinking.

“By the way… ….”

With that thought in mind, Min Chae-ryeong narrowed her eyes and glanced at her.

“That’s not all the reasons for accepting her offer, is it? Is not it?”

Seeing him talking as if he knew everything, I shrugged my shoulders and told him.

“…… Well, since it happened like this, I wanted to take this opportunity to make a personal connection.”

“I knew it. It’s insidious anyway.”

“I don’t think it’s enough to hear that from the team leader.”

“Ha. If you can’t even talk, you can be cute.”

That’s what he said, but the smile on his lips didn’t seem too unpleasant.

“But will you be okay? To participate in the attack.”

“It will probably be fine.”

I could roughly guess what Chaeryeong Min was concerned about.

Dungeon raiding is an activity open to the public. All dungeon raids are conducted under the management of the association, a national institution, and information about the process is known to the public according to the information disclosure principle. What Min Chaeryeong is concerned about is that information about me will be leaked to the outside in the process.

“When she said she didn’t want to stand out to midsummer students, she said she was considerate of that part. On the set, they covered their faces and allowed them to work while thoroughly hiding their identities. The only ones who know my identity will be some of the executives who participated in the meeting at the end.”

“That’s not what I’m worried about.”

Minchae-ryeong slurped the bubble tea that was on her desk. Like the chocolate from the last time, she seemed to like sweet things.

“Then what are you worried about?”

“You.”

“Yes?”

“It’s an overrank dungeon raid. But can you handle it with your skills?”

“Ah.”

Contrary to my expectations, what Chaeryeong Min was concerned about was more primitive and fundamental.

Overrank. Literally, a dungeon that boasts an out-of-standard grade that is no different from an out-of-the-way demonic world.

I wonder if you dare to participate in the dungeon raid at your level and survive. It was that part that Min Chaeryeong was worried about.

“Actually, I don’t think everything written in Kang Ha-neul’s statement is true.”

Min Chaeryeong took out a document from a drawer. A statement written by Kang Ha-neul about the past double dungeon incident. It was the original before it was censored.

“To sum up the contents of the statement, it is ‘You fought a defensive battle against the boss of an overrank dungeon and escaped while aiming for an opening.’… ….”

“Does the team leader think that the contents are false?”

“I’m not saying it’s all a lie, but I think there is some exaggeration mixed in.”

A bitter smile naturally came to my lips at those words.

‘Not an exaggeration, but rather a reduction.’

I don’t know what to say, but thanks to Kang Ha-neul’s ability, I fought an equal battle with Wilhelm, at least temporarily. The contents of the statement were the result of Kang Ha-neul intentionally reducing my performance because he did not want his ability to be known.

However, Min Chae-ryeong must have thought that even that would become a hot topic, so she arbitrarily censored Kang Ha-neul’s statement. As a result, what was written in the formally uploaded statement was quite different from what actually happened, that I ran away with Kang Ha-neul as soon as I ran into Wilhelm.

“That’s right. Does it make sense that you, who was an E-class superhuman not too long ago, suddenly became stronger than A-class, maybe even S-class?”

It was nonsense. I strongly agree with you on that point.

However, this world is the world of fantasy novels. And fantasy novels were originally stories where nonsensical things happen like eating a meal.

“I dare say, the original statement written by Kang Ha-neul is the truth without exaggeration. The team leader says so, but you must be guessing in your heart.”

“… ….”

“You said that suddenly becoming stronger doesn’t make sense, but hasn’t the team leader already seen it with his own eyes?”

Special countermeasures and criminal record examinations at the end of February. At that time, Min Chae-ryeong had already witnessed that I had grown from an E-class superman to a level suitable for a special department in just three days. However, since more than a month has already passed since then, there is nothing strange about me becoming even stronger than A-rank, who went from E-rank to C-rank.

‘Actually, my body specs haven’t grown much since then… ….’

Inhyeok Yeo’s ability to increase after Musculoskeletal Alignment was all about willpower and luck. But how would Min Chaeryeong know this?

She From her point of view, Ahn Su-ho, a superhuman, must have been a mysterious being who suddenly started to show a steep growth trend for a subject who was E-class. Isn’t that why she became more wary of me without dismissing Kang Ha-neul’s statement as absurd nonsense?

“…… One thing is that you are really full of confidence. I wonder if this is the E-class superman who only had that guest during the interview two months ago.”

At my confident words, Min Chae-ryeong smiled and narrowed her eyes.

“So? Do you mean that your current level is high enough to participate in dungeon raids?”

“Yes. Like Midsummer’s Horse, even if it’s not to the level of S-class, at least to the extent of not grabbing others’ ankles and then giving them a shot—”

-Pain!

At that moment, as if to interrupt my words, Min Chae-ryeong spurred her desk and rushed at me.

“Should I sleep-“

At the sudden attack, I immediately activated Morning Star’s Breathing Sound. It was the result of practicing to be able to activate the artifact at any time in preparation for such a surprise situation.

-Shhh!

As I hurriedly bent her head, Min Chae-ryeong’s blades brushed past where my head had been. After that, I immediately tried to back away, but after realizing that she had no intention of attacking Min Chae-ryeong, I asked her while holding the blade of her hand that brushed my cheek.

“…… What are you doing now?”

“Know your skills. It’s definitely more usable than before.”

Min Chae-ryeong brushed off my hand and ran her body up and down.

“Speed is probably the power of the artifact, but the movement is much better than before. Unfazed by the sudden attack, I followed my attack with both eyes until the end. When I was just transferred, it was a complete beginner’s move, but what happened?”

I shook my head and replied at the smiling face, like a parent who is happy for their child to grow up.

“What happened a lot?”

“Yes. A lot of things happened.”

The Succubus Incident. Kang Ha-neul attempted kidnapping. Double dungeon situation. And even sparring with Midwinter.

The big events that happened in the past two months and the training that I didn’t miss a single day of every day led to my growth.

“Well, I don’t think I’m at the level of participating in overranking dungeons, but… …. Seeing how confident you are, you will do well on your own. Is there anything I can do to help? Whatever you need.”

“Not yet. If I need help, I’ll let you know.”

“Yes. Don’t be shy and tell me right away.”

After the brief report, I left the team leader’s office. I wanted to talk about Ji Ye-won’s mission before I left, but I forgot. Even if they asked me to cancel the mission now, Ji Ye-won had left this morning.

“Ahn Soo-ho. Would you like to come over here for a second?”

“Yes. Senior Taeho.”

Lee Tae-ho called me after I came out of the team leader’s office. When I went to his seat, he showed me his shift sheet and asked me.

“Did you know that the president will be on a business trip abroad for a week starting tomorrow?”

“Yes. You said you were attending a conference in the US. Yesterday, I confirmed that the information was uploaded to the intranet.”

“Yes. Then, did you know that your partner, Chae-yeon Cha, was hired as the president’s bodyguard for a week?”

“…… Is this a first-timer?”

“I knew it.”

That criticism was not directed at me. Lee Tae-ho sighed as he watched from the back of Chae-yeon struggling with the copier on the other side.

“I taught you to be the first to tell your partner about anything related to work. That guy is still the same.”

“Well, isn’t there a possibility that he doesn’t even know he was hired?”

“There is no such thing as that. Checking various information was clearly taught to me when I was a partner with the Vegetable Research Institute.”

“Aha.”

Come to think of it, every time I go to work, I don’t skip work schedules or messages, and I always check them. Was it all thanks to Lee Tae-ho’s teachings? If so, does that mean that the old Vegetable Yeon couldn’t even do that?

I looked at Lee Tae-ho pitifully, and he laughed briefly.

“It’s all a thing of the past now. Of course, it will be the present for you.”

“…… Do you enjoy teasing me like that?”

“I don’t know if it’s fun, but lately I feel that my life has become more comfortable and enriched.”

The former partner of the vegetable kite who hit me with a vegetable kite smiled. My first impression was the image of a cold senior like a robot, but as I got to know him, Lee Tae-ho also had a playful side. Maybe the human nature that died while suffering from Chae-yeon is slowly reviving.

“Anyway. It seems that your work will also change one way or another because the vegetable research team is hired. It will probably form a temporary two-man cell with another team member whose partner was similarly drafted.”

“I’m worried. The other team members are still a bit awkward.”

“It will be the same for other team members. Almost two months have passed, but from the point of view of other teams, you are still a rolled stone. Since this happened, let’s take this opportunity to get closer with other teams. If you look at the work schedule, the people who will probably work with you on a temporary basis are among the two…….”

– Woo woo woo woo!

Just then, the smart phone in his pocket vibrated low.

“Is it a phone call?”

“No. It seems to be text. Take a moment to check…… Uh?”

The next moment, when I saw the name displayed on the screen, I was startled.

—–

Ji Yewon

▷Is it time right now?

▷I want to see your face one last time before I go

▷Now it’s the main gate of the academy

—–

“Why is that?”

“That… ….”

At Lee Tae-ho’s question, I looked at him as if I was embarrassed and asked for his understanding.

“Can I go outside for a while?”
