chapter 77
77 – Discipline 25. The Leader Welcomes the Return of Colleagues (1)
“Aseong High School’s leader is also amazing. Destroying Moon Chae-yeon’s power with just that much power…”
Spartoy, Son Ye-seo, dressed in a nun’s uniform that matches her school uniform, said with a smile.
“Moon Chae-yeon, shall we secure it?”
“Moon Chae-yeon…”
Principal Lee Doo-hee was looking out the window at the cityscape with his mouth wide open. His chapped lips opened like dry rice fields and he spat out the name of the six sinners.
“Moon Chae-yeon… Who was it… ?”
The headmaster fumbled through his memories.
Ye-seo explained as if he had been waiting.
“Six criminals. His nickname in the world is Technomancer. “I am a child raised by the principal.”
“Ah, yes. It did… “I remembered.”
Yeseo kept his smiling face but stared at the back of Principal Chong’s head with meaningful eyes.
The principal’s condition was becoming more serious day by day.
Not only dementia, but all kinds of diseases were everywhere in my body. The end of the body was slowly approaching.
“At Asung High School, we rescued Oh Baek-seo and secured Moon Chae-yeon. “It’s a pretty bad situation, isn’t it?”
“You mean Asong High School?”
“Yes, this is where ‘Ahn Woo-jin’ is the leader. “Recently, the principal warned us.”
Yeseo had to add additional explanation each time. This was because the memories of the headmaster were continuously burning.
“Don’t do that.”
“Why?”
“Because there is no need for that. Things will only get bigger.”
“… “It looks like you’re going to throw it away?”
“He was a child who had heart problems anyway. I’m sure you saw that your magic power was depleted, right? “It won’t be long before I die.”
Chaeyeon had strengthened her heart with her own unique ability.
If I hadn’t done that, I would have left this world a long time ago.
In other words, Chaeyeon’s magic power was depleted while fighting Woojin, so she would soon lose her life.
“I guess so. There’s no need to touch it…”
“Ahaha.”
“Yes.”
“Who do you think is the most annoying being in my path?”
“That’s an easy question.”
Yeseo smiled brightly.
“Nowadays, I am Ahn Woo-jin, leader of Aseong High School. I think that guy is the most annoying. Not only because he holds the position of leading manager, but also because his achievements are great, he is famous. His intelligence is at an incomprehensible level. Besides, Han Seo-jin and Moon Chae-yeon~, those guys were all taken down by that man, right? I thought he was strong for a 4th tier last time, but I guess his talent exploded when he was promoted to 5th and 6th tier.”
Principal and Yeseo had already obtained the information that Woojin was of the 6th rank.
“Spatial abilities…”
“Yes, just by looking at it, I have awakened an incredible ability.”
The match between Moon Chae-yeon and Aseong High School’s special team was even mediated by the principal’s drone.
It has become clear that the leader of Asung High School deals with spatial abilities.
“Because of that man, taking away his driving ability he went beyond water. That guy, I don’t think he’s one to let down his guard. He will be difficult to defeat with most Spar Toys, and it will be difficult to deal with him secretly even if you send A-level or higher Spar Toys. There is a possibility that he will be counterattacked.”
Yeseo lightly stretched his index finger upward.
“Again, you wouldn’t know if Ahn Woo-jin was the only one to deal with… The fact that Mr. Baek Seo was rescued and became a significant variable. Ahn Woo-jin will go to great lengths to protect Baek-seo, whom she likes. “She’s already experienced Baek Seo’s kidnapping her, so she’ll be on high alert.”
Yeseo continued speaking.
“And Mr. Baek Seo himself is strong enough to be difficult to do anything about unless Mr. Kang Jin is brought in, right? Even though there is no need to go to the ‘Darts’ stage, I think we need to be cautious to some extent.”
Dart refers to the step of moving all the force to ensure that the target is killed.
The principal took a deep breath and said, “Hmm.” Then, after thinking for a moment, he gave an order.
“Tell this to Honggyu and Hongbin.”
Honggyu, Hongbin.
Among the six criminals, they were called ‘gluttons.’
“Take away the leader of Asung High School using the best magic method. With the abilities of those children, even Ahn Woo-jin wouldn’t be able to do anything. At the same time, it will become easier to target the Five Hundredseo.”
“It’s a pretty hard-line measure, isn’t it? You were planning to use that to kill Goliath, right? I think it would be a waste.”
“Ahn Woo-jin was not born with an A+ level of magical power. So she wasn’t filtered into the zero zone. But… , That child’s abilities surpass those of the children I raised… , Cough!”
Suddenly, Principal Chong covered his mouth and coughed with phlegm.
The hand that covered his mouth was covered in red blood. The headmaster looked down at the hand and continued.
“That child… Special. I am finally convinced. I’ve never felt this wrong before.”
Yeseo nodded his head.
“Yes, then I will do that. Even if I prepare from today, it will take some time.”
“By the way…”
“Yes?”
The principal’s hands were shaking.
As death approached, there was someone who came to mind in particular.
“I’m afraid that ‘that girl’ will hate me…”
‘1215’ recorded in the principal’s smartphone address book.
He clearly told him not to touch Ahn Woo-jin, but the headmaster ended up targeting Ahn Woo-jin.
Yeseo grinned and whispered into the headmaster’s ear.
“You were already prepared to be hated, right? It’ll be okay, Principal. Everything will be fine.”
Like a believer preaching the gospel, Yeseo tried to reassure the principal in a soft voice.
“Then I guess we can now focus on taking away Ahn Woo-jin’s abilities?”
“No.”
Principal Chong narrowed his eyes and said.
“It’s not just Ahn Woo-jin I’m targeting.”
“… Ah. “I guess we can aim for the plan you mentioned last time at the same time this time?”
“I’m glad you’re always quick-witted.”
“Sure. Who am I?”
Yeseo smiled happily.
* * *
Should we call it a battle to subjugate the Technomancer?
The confrontation with Moon Chae-yeon ended, and I was admitted to the hospital.
Asung High School decided to cover all costs. Because catching Moon Chae-yeon was recognized as an official activity by the Asung High School leadership team. The help of Lee Je-ho, leader of Mahyeon High School, was great.
Of course, there was ample room for discussion of illegality, so I didn’t yet know what kind of punishment I would receive.
‘The magic power still hasn’t returned.’
Because his magical power was depleted, he could not expect the same recovery speed as before, and he could not even call Geumyang.
Still, it wasn’t ideal. Because I was assigned to the same hospital room as White Paper.
Just looking at her face made her feel warm inside.
This is a double room.
White Paper was sleeping soundly in the bed next to me. The pattern that had been on her skin had disappeared. I am now fine.
According to the test results, the white paper’s physical condition was improving normally. She was told that she would be in deep sleep for a while simply because her body was overworked.
‘I can’t move…’ ‘ .’
I didn’t sleep like a white paper, but she was in a bad state. She had difficulty moving, and had to call a nurse to help her every time she went to the bathroom.
‘Do you think Moon Chae-yeon’s management will be okay?’
Except for me and Baek Seo, the rest of the executives went with a bold promise that they would defend Moon Chae-yeon at all costs.
It was difficult to investigate necromancer Han Seo-jin because of the penalty, but Moon Chae-yeon is a party to the case who can make a statement. She was of high value in the investigation of the case.
So, she should never have had a problem with Chaeyeon.
She has already begun investigating the incident at her leading department. If there was pressure from outside or something happened to Chaeyeon Moon, she would report to me immediately.
‘I don’t know how the principal will turn out.’
I couldn’t help but be constantly concerned.
“…”
Sigh.
I called right away.
─ What is it, Manager? Today is already the 7th time…
“Is Moon Chae-yeon safe?”
She asked Yoo Yu-ha, the person on the phone, in a serious voice.
Doha sighed.
─You mean that again… ? . He is under the highest level of protection and is still recovering. I have a heart problem, and my condition is so serious that I haven’t woken up yet… , Anyway, the doctor said we should watch the progress. How many times have I said this…
“Okay.”
─ Stop calling now.
I hung up the phone and looked quietly at the ceiling.
There was nothing I could do right now.
It’s after a big battle, and I don’t remember taking a break recently…
‘Should I take this opportunity to get some rest?’
I spent time outside the window enjoying the sunlight and the breeze blowing, staring at the white paper, or playing a mobile game that I had been putting off.
…
Deep night.
It was when I was deep asleep.
I felt a familiarity. Someone started stroking my hair. It was a gentle touch filled with affection.
Perhaps it was because my senses became sharper as I ascended to the 6th rank, but I immediately regained my senses and felt my senses.
Is it a white paper?
Have you come to your senses?
No, it felt strangely different from the touch of white paper.
Swish. He suddenly grabbed his wrist and opened his eyes.
“Ah.”
A short exclamation was heard.
The moment I saw the owner of the wrist I was holding, my eyes opened wide.
Light pink hair reflecting in the moonlight.
Kim Dal-bi, with a surprised expression, was reflected in my vision.
“… “What are you doing?”
I narrowed my eyes and asked.
“Mi… “No.”
Dalby apologized in an embarrassed voice.
She quietly looked at Dalbi and raised her upper body. Her torso still throbbed, but after a few days her condition improved and it was tolerable.
“Excuse me… ?”
Dalbi was staring at her wrist that was being held by me.
Dalbi was dressed as a goblin when he was working as a villain. The costume had several functions.
It seemed like she came dressed in that outfit to infiltrate. Her mask was off, so her face was clearly visible.
She looked at the white paper out of the corner of her eye. She was asleep, breathing calmly. It seemed like she hadn’t done anything to Dalby.
In the first place, if there is a problem with the patient’s biological functions due to external factors, an alarm sounds. However, the hospital room was currently quiet.
“Leader, are you going to call me? “I was waiting at the hospital.”
Dalby took note of her expression and asked.
Nana White Paper is incapable of combat.
The only thing I could rely on was the Golden Sheep’s protection.
Even if she called the leader who was still in the hospital to the hospital room, it was difficult to beat her 6th rank powerhouse, Dalby, without any strategy. I wonder if it would be best for her to step down.
In order to catch Dalbi, she would have to plan a meticulous plan with the best strength of the leading team.
Moreover, Dalby didn’t seem to have come to fight.
So she had to be careful about starting the battle.
“No…”
She closed her eyes and answered.
“I won’t call you.”
“Good decision. It would be meaningless to increase the number of victims here. “I have no intention of fighting either.”
“Why did you come? “I don’t think I came here to make a fuss.”
“Huh… , Stopped by for a moment. Hehe, sorry for coming. I guess I lost my mind for a moment. It seems a little pathetic… ?”
Dalbi had an awkward smile on her face, but her eyes were lifeless.
As if she hadn’t slept well, there were dark shadows under her eyes, and her complexion she was not very good. Her hair was frizzy.
She had been up all night for several days.
What happened to her recently?
Rather, why did Dalby come here?
She must have gotten information that Moon Chae-yeon and I had a fight, and she also knows that Moon Chae-yeon is not here.
You probably didn’t come to the hospital to secure Moon Chae-yeon.
Even if that was the goal, he wouldn’t have come to this hospital room and brushed my hair.
I guess.
‘Are you here to check on my condition?’
And that too late in the day.
Did they target when I was asleep?
‘Because of old ties? … No, let’s think about that reason later. And it seemed like his actions were being monitored by the principal. How did they get here?’
Does the fact that Dalby came to see me like this mean that the principal’s control and supervision have become looser?
‘Now that I think about it, you said it was like that last time, right?’
She was told that when Dalby contacted her in the first semester and relayed information about her Han Seo-jin, she was able to do so because the headmaster’s surveillance was temporarily lifted.
I closed my eyes and sighed softly, then looked at Dalby again.
“No, rather, it came well. “She had something to ask.”
Dalby tilted her head to the side and revealed her doubts.
“But I’ll tell you in advance. If the reason you came to see me was because of an old relationship, after today, don’t do it again.”
Without looking at Dalby, I spoke in as cold a tone as possible.
“Because it’s disgusting.”
Human affection is truly cruel.
I hope you feel it again last time.
When I look at Dalbi’s face, I see old faces overlapping with each other, and my mind can’t help but wander back to the childhood I missed.
Then I couldn’t help but naturally focus on Dalbi.
Because Dalby was the first person in this world to be on my side.
But for whatever reason, we had already split up and were standing on opposite sides of each other. Moreover, this was not a problem between just the two of them, but a problem between the leader and the worst criminal.
Even though I know this, if Dalby still shows an ambiguous attitude, I have no choice but to leave like now.
There was silence for a moment.
“Huh…”
Is it because of my determined attitude?
Dalby’s smile faded. However, the corners of her mouth were barely raised.
The tips of her eyes and eyebrows were lowered.
“Well, that’s disgusting… ” .”
Dalbi laughed softly.
Her wrist that I was holding trembled slightly.
