The Student Council President Is a Top-Notch Extra - Chapter 184

At this point, sitting by Jin Se-hee was not a very good choice.
I didn’t know when the first-class monsters would appear, and I couldn’t be sure that Jin Se-hee would definitely get stronger.
However, first-class monsters were powerful, so we had to come up with a countermeasure suitable for that.
‘It doesn’t matter if I stick to Shin Da-hee’s side. Being on the same side as me doesn’t change. Surprisingly, Shin Da-hee can teach you well.’
Even before the creation of the subjugation team, Shin Da-hee had been training combat support hunters.
In other words, it meant that I could professionally nurture a hunter, and I was able to learn a lot of unexpected things because she was an apostle like Jin Se-hee.
Above all, there was no way Dahee Shin could deny the request of the same apostle.
‘Um… will there be synergy if the apostles gather together? I don’t know.’
Jin Se-hee did not move with Baek Seo-yeon or the apostles in the original content.
He always followed Seo Hyun-woo, and only occasionally showed up.
Perhaps such actions did not stop Jin Se-hee from growing up.
‘I think it’s better than not doing it. How can I break that stubbornness?’
Seo Hyun-woo quickly returned to the sofa and sat down.
Then he opened his mouth heavily with a serious expression on his face.
“If that’s what you think, then there’s nothing you can do. Can’t you force me to stay on the subjugation team?”
“Thank you for understanding. I am also trying to become stronger for the subjugation team.”
“It’s a bit unfortunate, but… I can’t hold onto someone who’s leaving.”
Seo Hyun-woo started to solidify the atmosphere by saying things that he didn’t mean to.
I didn’t know Choi Jae-yeon, but I couldn’t guarantee that Jin Se-hee would return to the Quasar team.
From Sehee Jin’s point of view, it could have been more comfortable to be with the apostles, and her feelings for herself seemed to have cooled down a bit.
“It’s okay to leave, but it doesn’t mean you won’t come back. If you leave, you won’t be able to see the other kids.”
“It is better for the team members to do well. If the team does well, the team will inevitably do well.”
“Hmmm…don’t be too sad. I will definitely come back.”
Jin Se-hee completely empties the bottled water and shows a faint smile.
I was a little curious about how Seo Hyun-woo would react if he said he was leaving the subjugation team.
The reaction was a little satisfying, so I thought I might be able to leave without any regrets.
‘… But it seems that you are still interested in me. The stronger you get, the more often you will see it.’

A serene cafe interior on a Saturday afternoon.
Seo Hyun-woo and Baek Seo-yeon were carefully reviewing the dungeon subjugation and related matters this week.
I had already checked it several times during business hours on weekdays, but it was supposed to be the final inspection work.
It was a subjugation team that had just been established, and he was slowly grasping the level and skills, so he was trying to get a solid foundation from the beginning.
“Overall, there is little to point out. The assigned dungeon grade is also appropriate, and the team members are in good condition.”
“Anyway, level 3 is the limit. From level 2 onwards, you can’t see well, and you have to discuss with the committee before proceeding with the subjugation.”
“Aren’t the team members performing dungeon subjugation while working alone? I got help from the Rune team, but the average level of the team is pretty high.”
“Still, I have to manage my stamina and health, so I will be assigned dungeons little by little.”
“If that happens, it will be difficult to maintain a subjugation team.”
“If the budget is insufficient, the Hanhon industry will provide support. They also said that there is no need to proceed with subjugation excessively.”
Seo Hyun-woo and the Quasar team had Hanhon Industries as their official sponsor.
The Quasar team was nothing more than a sign of the Han-Hon industry, and whatever activities they did, they had to have an impact on the Han-Hon industry as well.
Therefore, it was intended to show off the reputation and wealth of the Hanhon industry while keeping the quasar team intact.
“The single marriage industry may make unreasonable demands in order to make a profit.”
“Recently, first-class monsters have been appearing frequently, aren’t they? Even if our team participates in the subjugation, the Hanhon industry can see the advertising effect. It is not that we are using equipment from the Hanhorn industry for nothing.”
We had already negotiated about it before signing the contract.
The Hanhon industry was said to be the best in Korea with only one magic stone processing industry, and the resulting sales reached an enormous amount.
The quasar team could not even compare with the sales of the Hanhon industry when they had to make a profit by subjugating the dungeon.
In other words, the Hanhon industry supported the Quasar team in various ways and tried to enjoy only the advertising effect.
“So, the Hanhon industry is investing in only one team leader?”
“You are included. There are the saints and the young king too… Wouldn’t it have something to do with Absolute’s battle suit?”
“Is it because of my uncle?”
“You got your Purple Hunter license as soon as you finished Miterichi. Having Hunter Baek Jeong-woon as a relative is a big deal, and you’ve done a lot of work lately, right?”
“It’s nothing compared to the head coach.”
“Why do you keep mentioning me? I am not that great.”
“I always had a manager on top of me. When I look up, I see only the leader of the team.”
“Can’t you see my stomach?”
“We’ll go see it then.”
“…”
Seo Hyun-woo arranged the documents and put them in the bag.
Baek Seo-yeon also follows behind her and neatly arranges the plates with coffee and food.
“So you’re saying you have to beat me first?”
“Winning is good, but there is no reason it has to be. Wouldn’t it be enough just to stand in the same place?”
“Where am I?”
“It seems to be between the Setinos Hunter and the Black Hunter. To get to the same place, you have to become a Setinos Hunter.”
“Did you assume that I would become a Setinos Hunter?”
“Then are you going to just stay with the Black Hunters?”
“I think I’ll know when I go back then.”
Seo Hyun-woo did not aim for Setinos Hunter.
Black Hunter was enough, and now it was more important to deal with first-class monsters.
Above all, becoming a Setinos Hunter was given a lot of roles and duties, so I had to be a little reluctant.
“… How far is the manager looking forward?”
“Hmm… I think it has several meanings.”
“you’re right. Isn’t the manager hiding a lot of things?”
“It doesn’t look like that. So, shall we just tell our deputy chief a little bit?”
Seo Hyun-woo gestures to Baek Seo-yeon and tells her to bring her face closer.
Baek Seo-yeon carefully puts her face in and puts her ears.
Seo Hyun-woo put his lips to Baek Seo-yeon’s ear and opened his mouth slowly.
“I don’t want anyone to die. Especially the people around me must survive.”
“If you really want to survive, you shouldn’t be subjugating dungeons.”
“But you have to. Only when we are stronger can we create the future we want.”
Upon hearing this, Seo-yeon Baek was puzzled and gently turned her head.
His blue eyes seemed sharper than ever.
He was cold and determined, so he could tell that he was saying it sincerely.
“What kind of future do you want?”
“I want a future where you don’t sacrifice.”
Seo Hyun-woo brought out the words he had been hiding in his heart for a long time.
This world could start over from the beginning only after Baek Seo-yeon sacrificed herself.
Such a lonely sacrifice had to be finished once.
“…what else does that mean?”
“Oh, I think it’s okay to say this. I guess you haven’t gotten to that point yet.”
“Why do you keep saying strange things?”
“Did I say strange things often?”
“Do you know anything about me?”
“No?”
“Why are you talking like that?”
“Um… you just think so?”
“Are you going to skip it like this again?”
“What more should I answer here?”
“ha…”
Baek Seo-yeon let out a long sigh and drank coffee.
I thought I would give up now.
No matter what he did, Seo Hyun-woo was going to try to make the situation go away with an excuse.
“good. It’s probably right to pretend that I don’t know. There must be a reason for letting Jaeyeon and Sehee out, right?”
“Not everything I do has a reason.”
“I am no longer deceived. Whether it was intentional or not, the distinction is beginning to be made little by little.”
“that…”
“There is no point in making excuses. If the team leader keeps coming out like this, I have no choice but to push myself forward.”
“…”
As Baek Seo-yeon draws a line at once, Seo Hyun-woo swallows silence and raises the coffee cup.
Since there was no answer at all, it must have been that he had found the most appropriate method.
Perhaps it should be viewed as a kind of consideration and suspicion.
‘Still, you don’t seem to have any intention of disturbing me. They will understand me in their own way.’
***
It was my first day in the office.
Yesterday, after graduating from Miterichi, I visited the office and training ground of the Quasar Team with Seo Hyun-woo.
I met Baek Seo-yeon and Kang Yu-jin, and I was able to meet Ryu Seon-hwa, who was curious about how they came to be.
As expected, his face was even, and I thought he was secretly taking care of Seo Hyun-woo.
‘It was already expected that Baek Seo-yeon became the deputy team leader. Jaeyeon and Sehee are unexpected.’
I heard the story in advance, but leaving the subjugation team two by one was nothing like a big loss.
Although the other team members were excellent, they could not replace the insufficient number of people.
Even though he said he would come back, he might change his mind while learning.
‘Even if I force you to hold me, nothing will change. The president knows that, so we just let it go.’
Irev Kanasuel left the house with a strange sensation.
He seemed to be particularly sensitive today.
I had a feeling that something was coming, and I was getting goosebumps from time to time.
‘Is it because of your mood? Why are you doing this?’
Irev pauses for a moment and looks around.
I’ve never felt this way in my entire life.
A feeling of unfamiliarity, a strange sense of identity, a huge magical power, a longing wriggling deep within.
It seemed like someone was chasing him, so he was starting to get a little scared.
‘Shall we just go home? no. Still, it’s my first job…’
Irev moved quickly and called Seo Hyun-woo.
Only the blunt phone call continued to be heard.
The more he did, the more faint fear became clearer, and his nervousness only deepened.
– It looks delicious.
Wow, wow!
Whoops, whoops…
Something with a green body opened its mouth wide and swallowed Irev.
A gate was created in a short time, and Irev realized it too late and used his ability.
But he couldn’t escape, and it just flowed through his throat and into his stomach.
– I’m hungry.
A poisonous basilisk, one of the Four Hells, swept around and destroyed buildings.
The concrete floor was cracked, and green poisonous air was spreading everywhere.
It was intended to quench their hunger by paralyzing their prey.
– Ah… The one I ate now was the best. I should have saved a little.
