Academy Munchkin Grew Up To Become a Genius - Chapter 116



Episode 116 Meeting (7)

Taeho Park looked at Seojun Kang with an expressionless face.

“Go in first.”

“…”

The friendly atmosphere from just now has completely disappeared.

Eyes like a security agency agent looking at a spy.

-Gulp.

Kang Seo-jun swallowed dry saliva.

‘It’s natural to see it that way…’

《Record of Destiny》 is simply an item that transmits emotions and memories.

It was a matter that needed to be investigated separately whether the memories contained therein were ‘truth’ or just ‘illusion’.

A veteran like Park Tae-ho, who has experienced all the hardships of life, would not be carelessly confident or let down his guard, no matter how likely it is that “Records of Destiny” Contains the ‘truth’.

I’m sure I’ll doubt it until the very end and make a final decision after thoroughly reviewing to make sure there are no errors.

‘But I rather like it. The greater the risk, the greater the return…’

It’s just difficult to gain trust the first time.

Once you gain that one trust, you will be able to receive almost infinite trust and favor from then on.

‘The real game starts from here.’

If you fail, you die. If successful, you will become the owner of Taesan Group.

“Let’s go in.”

“… Yes.”

Kang Seo-jun held Park Seo-yoon’s hand tightly and entered the mansion.

From now on, you have to be alert.

It’s like entering a tiger’s den.

– Jeopuk. Jeopuk.

From noble mtl dot come

-Thump.

Taeho Park immediately followed and closed the front door himself.

-Clap.

“?”

I think I also heard the sound of the door being locked…

‘If I make a real mistake, I could die?’

The front door that Tae-ho Park locked looked ordinary, but it was a reinforced door strong enough to block tank shells.

The reason they bothered to lock it would be to completely block Kang Seo-jun’s escape route in case of an emergency.

‘Hmm…’

Kang Seo-jun activated the Eye of Providence and looked around the mansion.

‘It wasn’t the tiger’s nest, it came into the mouth…’

If something goes wrong, there is no escape route.

The back door and windows were all locked.

In fact, it was like being locked deep underground.

‘I miss Serin…’

Ah.

“Keuhum!”

Kang Seo-jun shook off his weak feelings with one clear cough.

‘Let’s not speak weakly.’

He must remember why he came here.

‘It’s to grow faster with Taesan Group on our back.’

If things go well here, you can gain the trust and support of those in power at Taesan Group.

‘If only Grandpa Park Tae-ho could be on my side…’

In fact, it was the same as obtaining administrative authority for the Taesan guild.

‘Whether it is entering a dungeon, robbing a mine hideout, or going to war with an evil organization.’

You will be able to freely use the elite hunters of the Taesan Guild.

And sometimes…

‘[S+] You might be able to get help directly from hunter Park Tae-ho.’

You will be able to freely rob hideouts and secret warehouses that you cannot rob due to lack of qualifications.

Naturally, the growth rate will also explode.

‘It’s not the time to be afraid.’

Rather the opposite.

Expectations began to surge like a tsunami in Kang Seo-jun’s heart.

‘Let’s go!’

Kang Seo-jun held Park Seo-yoon’s hand and walked quickly into the mansion.

The destination is the mansion’s restaurant.

Of course, there is no need for directions.

I’ve been to this mansion so many times while playing the game [Grand Hunter Academy].

‘I’m sure the reason they asked me to go in first was to test me.’

This may be to test whether Kang Seo-jun knows the location of the restaurant in the mansion.

If Kang Seo-jun was really his granddaughter-in-law, it would be normal for him to know at least where the restaurant in the mansion is.

“…”

‘As expected, I’m looking very intently.’

《Eye of Providence》 provides a 360-degree view in all directions so you can know.

Park Tae-ho followed at a distance of about five steps and was staring intently at Kang Seo-jun’s back.

If by any chance Kang Seo-jun can’t find the restaurant in the mansion, it looks like he will immediately go into interrogation mode.

‘Ugh…’

The gaze is too stinging.

Even though I was just looking at him, the skin on my back his was prickling as if I was being pricked by a needle.

‘I’m glad the restaurant isn’t far away.’

Even if Kang Seo-jun is a superhuman with a willpower of 33, his body will stiffen if he receives aggro from the [S +] Hunter

Kang Seo-jun quickly walked across the hallway toward the restaurant.

‘Under.’ It’s a pretty blatant test…’

He had already looked around with the Eye of Providence, but all the doors, from the hallway to the lounge, were tightly closed so that no one could see inside.

If Kang Seo-jun had not been a stagnant person, or if he had not had the Eye of Providence, he would have been unable to find the restaurant properly.

‘But I rather like it.’

It may have been a difficult test to solve, but it was actually a good thing for Kang Seo-jun if he was given a problem that was easy to solve.

Because each of these small tests accumulated to build trust.

As I walked with that in mind, I soon found myself in front of the restaurant door.

Kang Seo-jun looked at Park Tae-ho before opening the door.

Hehe…”

Park Tae-ho, who had come right next to Kang Seo-jun, looked at Kang Seo-jun and let out a low laugh.

“Good luck finding the restaurant.”

It seemed like he had no intention of hiding the fact that he was currently testing Kang Seo-jun.

“You would understand. Even though I am a sheepskin, I have a lot on my shoulders to trust you.”

Taeho Park, who had already inherited all of his past memories and emotions through the item “Record of Destiny,” Also wanted to treat him as family as much as possible.

Even now, his love for his granddaughter and son-in-law is stirring in his heart, and it was painful for Park Tae-ho to test him like this.

However, Park Tae-ho had to test Kang Seo-jun.

Not because of personal doubts, but because of external responsibility.

“Of course.”

Kang Seo-jun also fully understood that, so he lowered his head without any sign of displeasure.

In reality, he was not at all uncomfortable with this test.

It is natural for Taeho Park, who is in charge of a large company, to test himself, and if he passes these tests, he will be able to gain even more trust.

“As expected. I thought you would understand. Come on. Let’s go in. I’ll take the lead now.”

-Rattle!

Taeho Park opened the door to a huge restaurant.

A golden chandelier twinkled beyond the huge door, and a sumptuous feast was spread out on a long rectangular table.

“Hmph… !”

Park Shin-hye was sitting in the first seat on the left, close to her head of the table.

Surprisingly, the food didn’t seem to be touched first.

Normally he’s completely self-indulgent, but now he’s just trying to save face in front of his grandfather.

“Then sit down.”

Park Tae-ho immediately sat down at the head table, and Kang Seo-jun sat across from Park Shin-hye.

Naturally, Park Seo-yoon sat next to Kang Seo-jun.

‘Hmm…’

-Kkook.

Even after sitting down, Park Seo-yoon held Kang Seo-jun’s hand tightly and did not let go.

‘I can’t eat like this…’

I shook his hand slightly, but there was no sign of letting go at all.

It seemed like I wouldn’t let go for a while.

‘Well, I didn’t come here to eat anyway.’

Kang Seo-jun sipped a cup of water with his free hand.

And then he quietly cast his eyes at Park Tae-ho.

The look in your eyes says you’re ready, so ask whatever you want.

Taeho Park also nodded his head with those eyes.

“Yes. It would be better for both of us to finish our tasks before eating.”

Park Tae-ho also had no intention of putting off the exam.

It was better for both of us to quickly finish and shake off annoying things.

Taeho Park crossed his arms and leaned against the backrest.

“Then I will ask you bluntly. What number of regressions is this?”

Are you asking that first?

Kang Seo-jun answered without hesitation.

“… I don’t know exactly, but it’s definitely over three digits.”

“… Huh!”

“… Ugh!”

Tae-ho Park laughed in admiration, and Seo-yoon Park, who was sitting next to him, groaned as if he was in pain.

“So in reality, you’ve lived longer than me.”

“…”

I didn’t necessarily answer.

In reality, I just played a lot of games in the corner of my room, and even if I lied and said that, it would only embarrass me…

“It was quite a long time ago, but… I even went to the Hunter League Union to investigate you.”

Kang Seo-jun nodded.

I could roughly predict the question Taeho Park would ask next.

“But we failed to find out your identity until the very end. Your birth year, affiliation, nationality, and even gender were always mismatched.”

“…”

“What exactly are you?”

Are you really asking this?

It was a question that had been assumed in advance, so Kang Seo-jun answered without difficulty.

“I am from a different world than this one.”

I thought of various answers in advance, but the best was to mix truth with lies.

“Another world… ?”

Taeho Park frowned and tilted his head.

“…When you say another world… Do you mean the gate? Or… The tower?”

“It’s completely different.”

“Seup… Explain.”

.

.

Tae-ho Park and Seo-jun Kang’s question and answer session lasted for two hours.

“… What you mean is that you have the ability to move between dimensions at will?”

“It was possible when I was in another world. But now it is not possible.”

.

.

“Why do your personal information, such as your age and nationality, keep changing?”

“Every time I enter another world, I have to borrow someone else’s body. Sometimes I borrow the body of a young woman, sometimes I borrow the body of a middle-aged man. That’s why my birth year and nationality were always different.”

“… Oh my god. I never imagined that. Hmm…”

.

.

“What is this record of fate?”

“I don’t know about that. This is the first time I’ve seen this.”

.

.

“Why didn’t you extend a helping hand to us earlier?”

“I didn’t want to meet the people I loved because of my ugly appearance. I was also afraid that they wouldn’t trust me. In fact, there were several episodes where I was out of sync like that.”

.

.

“If you knew the future, couldn’t you have helped Shinhye before she was attacked by demons?”

“Ah. Grandpa, that’s it! It’s… My fault… Kang Seo-jun tried to save me. I… Tied his feet and ran away…”

“Like that…”

.

.

“Did you truly love my granddaughter Seo-yoon? Or did you use her for your own purposes?”

“This woman was the one I loved the most. She told me that if in doubt, you could try anything.”

Haha! The look in your eyes is scary. It’s very sincere.”

.

.

Meanwhile, the food got cold, and the two sisters jumped in surprise at Kang Seo-jun’s words, but fortunately, the conversation went smoothly without any major problems.

“Okay…”

After the two-hour long Q&A, Taeho Park’s expression was much softer than before.

It seemed that all doubts and doubts had been resolved, and trust in Kang Seo-jun had been firmly established.

“What do you plan to do next?”

Tae-ho Park asked about Seo-jun Kang’s plans.

“My sister-in-law… I can’t just leave the demons who attacked Shinhye alone. If I leave them alone, they will continue to cause problems.”

Kang Seo-jun leaned towards Park Tae-ho.

“If Grandpa helps me, I think things will be much easier.”

“… Of course. I was actually planning to ask you to do it from here. Don’t you know all of their strongholds and methods?”

“Yes, of course. I will share everything I know. They are planning to drive a wedge between Taesan and Sungjin Group. Kidnapping Shinhye is also part of that plan. We must get rid of them as soon as possible. Otherwise, Taishan’s future is in danger.”

“… Do you really mean to say that?”

“Yes.”

After the Q&A, the story about the subjugation of the Red Cross Society followed.

The meeting of powerful power reaching the [S+] Level and overwhelming information of ancient people.

It was a moment when the Red Cross Society really fell apart.
