89 – 089. Simultaneous Incident (4)

“Please be at ease. From now on, I will ensure that the information Ahn Su-ho will tell you is true or not.”

At Seol Ah-hyun’s words, the meeting hall stirred up once. Most of them looked surprised.

“I don’t mean to give a guarantee… ….”

Jihoon Oh said that like a joke with his arms crossed. A deep smile soon appeared on his face.

“But you, the Black Dragon Lord, are not the kind of people who say things like that for no reason. Then ask me reason…… Rather than saying, I’d rather say it’s evidence. You said you guaranteed that everything that man would say would be true. What is the basis for that judgment?”

Among those present, except for Seol Ah-hyun and Ahn Su-ho, everyone was curious about that question. After Oh Ji-hoon’s question was over, everyone held their breath and waited for the answer.

“…… Those of you here should know about my abilities.”

At those words, everyone in the conference room let out a low exclamation.

Seol Ah-hyun’s ability is future vision. The ability to predict the flow of offense and defense in a combat situation by peeping into the short future within one minute.

But most of the guild officials present here knew about another part of that ability. It is the true meaning of ‘future poetry’ that peeks into the distant future.

“The reason why I guarantee that the information brought by Mr. Ahn Su-ho is true. It’s because I saw the future through him that we succeeded in conquering the knight’s tomb.”

“…… It’s hard to believe.”

Oh Ji-hoon shook his head gently and said.

“Hard to believe? Why?”

“Because I know the limits of your abilities. Your ability is not the ability to pick and choose the future you want. But the future that succeeded in attack is perfect! What I saw was a bit… ….”

It was a reasonable doubt. In fact, Seol Ah-hyun’s future poetry was never such a convenient ability. Most of the executives here right now wanted to find out about their future through her abilities, but there was one experience where they only glimpsed a useless future.

“It is as you said, but I was lucky with that part…… I have nothing else to say.”

“Heavenly luck……. In other words, is it a coincidence?”

“Yes.”

However, Seol Ah-hyun did not try to explain that part. It was rather blatantly accidental, she pressed on.

“It’s a coincidence. Are you telling me to believe that now?”

“Then, Hunter Oh Ji-hoon, do you think I am lying to you?”

“That… ….”

At those words, Oh Ji-hoon held back his words. Not only that, but no one here dared to say that Seol Ah-hyun was lying. In the first place, her words were not the kind of thing that could cover the truth. After all, no matter what future she saw, even if she didn’t see the future itself, there was no way to verify it right away.

Of course, there were people with the ability to see through lies and artifacts in the world, but using them would mean giving up her trust in Seol Ah-hyun. And none of them wanted to lose Chuck to the Black Dragon Guild Master.

“…… If you say that, I have no choice but to believe it.”

In the end, the short question and answer that didn’t even become an argument ended like that. Only Oh Ji-hoon answered, but no one raised an additional objection.

“Thank you for trusting us.”

After saying that, Seol Ah-hyun’s eyes slipped to Ahn Su-ho. It was an unconscious act.

“…… It’s okay.”

But she soon realized that it was a mistake. It was because when her eyes met An Su-ho’s, the future scene she had just seen came to mind, and her cheeks quickly began to heat up.

Covering her flushed cheeks with her hands, she spoke, stammering her words slightly.

“Well then, as I said at the beginning, let’s share the information Mr. Ahn Su-ho has. Bar, please speak up.”

Some people tilted their heads at the unnatural attitude, but soon their eyes shifted from Seol Ah-hyeon to Ahn Su-ho.

“Thank you for the opportunity to speak.”

Although facing that mass of gazes, Ahn Su-ho did not flinch. Ahn Su-ho said with a relaxed attitude while placing his clenched hands on the table.

“I think everyone here already knows about me, but I will introduce myself once again. My name is Suho Ahn, and I am currently working as a security guard in the Special Response Division of the Green House Guard. When the last double dungeon incident occurred, I was on-site guard duty, and in the process, I entered the deepest part of the dungeon to rescue an isolated student, and encountered the owner of the dungeon, Wilhelm.”

After encountering, fighting, and running away, I survived like this.

Ahn Su-ho added that, spreading his arms as if to show off.

“I think people here have a pretty high estimate of my strength.”

The advance party of the Black Dragon encountered Wilhelm and suffered a devastating blow. Even the S-class superman, who was the leader of the advance party, was in a critical condition of unconsciousness not too long ago. On the other hand, Ahn Su-ho fought against Wilhelm on his own and survived. It is not possible to directly compare this, but most of the executives present at the place recognized Ahn Su-ho as a superman of at least A-class or S-class superman level.

“First of all, I think I need to correct that perception. I’m not as strong as you think. The fact that I was able to do a good job against Wilhelm that day was, so to speak, the result of all sorts of luck, coincidences, and groups overlapping.”

However, Ahn Su-ho denied their perception from the front. He said he’s not as strong as you think. He said it with humility. In fact, it was not humility or anything, but the fact itself, but there was no way for those present to know this.

‘…… I’ve said this beforehand, so I won’t be able to say why I’m so weak after a rough fight.’

Just saying that was An Su-ho’s own insurance. Because he might show a disappointing appearance to others in the future dungeon raid.

But that was a story of a future event, a possibility that might happen. At this moment, Ahn Soo-ho, who is dealing with superhumans in Korea, was facing them with a confident attitude.

“Well, no matter what my skill level, I fought him one-on-one. And in the process, I found out various things about the monster named Wilhelm. That’s exactly what I’m going to share with you from now on. As Seol Ah-hyun Hunter said earlier, she will vouch for the truth of the information I will tell you. Nonetheless, I will say it again. From now on, the information I will tell you about Wilhelm is the truth without lies.”

Ahn Soo-ho said that and took out a thin file folder from his bag. It was a bunch of notes he had written before attending the meeting. In it, Wilhelm’s skills, attack patterns, his weaknesses, and effective tactics for attacking them were densely written. In other words, it’s a strategy book for Wilhelm the Great.

‘The problem is that I have to explain this somehow in a convincing way… ….’

No matter how much Seol Ah-hyun’s assurances were, there was a high probability that information that was too unnatural would cause suspicion. Ahn Su-ho began to slowly choose his words, distinguishing information that was not awkward even if revealed at the present time and information that was not.

“First, let’s talk about the skills Wilhelm can use. First of all, I’ll call it his ability, the freezing ability, but in the case of this ability…….”

After pondering over and over again, Suho Ahn finally opened his mouth.

It was the beginning of the overrank dungeon strategy lecture led by the possessor.

***

The meeting lasted for five hours. It took a considerable amount of time to verify the information Ahn Su-ho said as much as possible, and to devise an effective attack strategy based on this. Thanks to this, it was still daytime when the meeting started, but when they left the conference room, it was already midnight outside with complete darkness.

‘…… But somehow it’s finished.’

Ahn Suho let out a deep sigh with a tired face. Prior to the start of the meeting, Seol Ah-hyun offered to give her a guarantee, but that didn’t make the process of verifying his remarks rough. Every time he said a piece of information, how did he find it out and what was the basis for that judgment? Ahn Su-ho was dying of exhaustion after inquiring about it.

“Suho. You worked hard.”

Midsummer approached Ahn Soo-ho and said.

“Students in midsummer had a hard time too.”

“I didn’t say much this time. She has nothing to say.”

Unlike Ahn Soo-ho, who continued to speak and answer questions throughout the meeting, Han Yeo-reum remained silent throughout the meeting. She had nothing to say, and she had something to think about.

“Ahn Soo-ho. Can I ask you something?”

“…… Is it about Wilhelm?”

“No. It’s about Seol Ah-hyun.”

Having said that, Midsummer looked around her. After the meeting, those who attended gathered from each guild and left. There were no ears around.

Nevertheless, Midsummer asked Ahn Su-ho, suppressing her voice.

“How on earth did you recruit Seol Ah-hyun?”

You have a question to come.

Ahn Soo-ho thought so and said the answer he had thought of beforehand.

“…… Well, it’s the same as what was said at the meeting. Mr. Ahyeon saw my future, and it was a very good future, and thanks to that, she was able to win her trust.”

In fact, it was more of an answer rather than an answer. And, of course, Han Yeo-reum did not agree with Ahn Su-ho’s answer.

“Are you asking me to believe that?”

“What do you not believe?”

“That’s strange. You asked me to go see Seol Ah-hyun before the meeting started. And when she returned, it was after earning her trust. There’s no way Seol Ah-hyun predicted that he would see a positive future from you. There was a corner where she believed in something, so didn’t you go to meet her?”

“Yes. There was a part of me that believed in it.”

“What the hell is that?”

Ahn Su-ho accepted the words that stabbed him right in the middle. But she didn’t bother explaining further.

“I’ll leave that to your imagination.”

“…… Yes?”

“Even a midsummer student cannot give out such information for free. If you’re curious, why don’t you investigate through that detective again?”

Maybe you’ll never find out.

After adding that, Ahn Suho shrugged her shoulders. Midsummer’s attitude was a little annoying, but on the other hand, it wasn’t that she didn’t understand An Su-ho’s words, so she chewed her lips carefully, unable to refute.

At that time.

“Ah, Suho Ahn?”

Seol Ah-hyun approached the two from across the hallway.

“?”

But the shape was a little strange. Midsummer tilted her head at the strange sense of incongruity emanating from her and examined Seol Ah-hyun’s complexion.

Seol Ah-hyun, for some reason, her blush was red. Her two eyes, which had always been her self-confidence, lost their way and she swayed to and fro, and the fingers of her hands with her folded arms repeatedly opened and closed as if representing her psychology. . Looking at it, it was something strange.

“That, meeting, you worked hard. If it continues for a long time like this, there is no such thing as rice, rice, rice… ….”

Midsummer opened her eyes almost in amazement at the sight of her even trembling like a shy freshman. Ahn Su-ho was also not to that extent, but he was equally puzzled. The look Seol Ah-hyun sees now is completely different from what I read in her original work.

‘What kind of future did you see?’

Ahn Su-ho thought that Seol Ah-hyun’s reaction must be caused by the future scene she saw. Because of her, she asked about this before the meeting started, but Seol Ah-hyun shook her head and refused to let me know.

“… ….”

Seol Ah-hyun looked up at Ahn Su-ho with a hesitant attitude. Ahn Soo-ho smiled awkwardly at the sight of him looking at him without saying anything, and Seol Ah-hyun blushed even more and lowered her head.

“Huh… ….”

And Han Yeo-reum couldn’t help but be astonished at Seol Ah-hyun’s appearance. She wondered if the one she was seeing was Seol Ah-hyun, the guild master of the Black Dragon Society.

‘What the hell is this…….’

Standing in front of Ahn Soo-ho, Seol Ah-hyun looked like a young girl in her adolescence. She did. She looked childish in her appearance, but she wasn’t talking about it. To say her atmosphere, the atmosphere that subtly flowed from her eyes and gestures was very sweet.

‘What the hell did he do? … ?’

Han Yeo-reum looked at Ahn Su-ho with eyes mixed with complex emotions. However, Ahn Su-ho was also unaware of the circumstances.

An awkward silence fell in the hallway where the three faced each other.
