Chapter 49
The next day, Kang Yoo-sik, who visited Nam gung-ryun's lab in almost three weeks, froze as he opened the door.
Nam gung-ryun's laboratory, which was worse than the pigsty, with all kinds of documents and books piled up like a tower. All the towers that had been piled up in it were destroyed, and space was created enough to run.
Kang Yoo-sik had a blank look at the changed landscape that made him think he was mistaken for someone else's lab.
"Oh, wel.. welcome……."
Kang Yoo-sik was greeted by a man who had neatly trimmed hair and could not see any tiredness.
"Mr. Nam Gung-ryun……?”
"That's right…."
Nam Gung-ryun answers awkwardly with honorifics. Kang Yoo-sik had an incredible expression on his face, which was the same, but completely different.
‘What the hell?’
What can happen in the last three weeks to change a person like this?
When Kang Yoo-sik is embarrassed when he has never seen before return. Nam Gung-ryun pointed inward.
"Come in for now……. I'll tell you everything.…."
"Oh, yes."
Kang Yoo-sik, who came into the lab, sat on a reception sofa that seemed to have bought a new one, and Nam Gung-ryun sat opposite.
"Would… you like something to drink?"
"No, it's all right. And just speak comfortably. Everything I see is uncomfortable with me."
Nam Gung-ryun's expression hardened slightly at Kang Yoo-sik's words and soon sighed deeply.
"I need to get used to it.… I got it for now. I'm still tired of speaking long."
Nam Gung-ryun, who nodded his head, changed to a comfortable tone, and Kang Yoo-sik looked at him with a curious look.
"What the hell happened in three weeks?”
"It's a little long, so to speak.… to put it simply…….”
Nam Gung-ryun, who was choosing a word to explain, opened his arms slightly.
"This is who I am.”
“…….”
“…….”
There was an indescribable silence, and Kang Yoo-sik asked carefully after thinking for a while.
"Are you sick?"
Wouldn't the debt rating also have hidden side effects, so the Nam Gung-ryun is completely gone?
When Kang Yoo-sik made a serious face, Nam Gung-ryun made a look of uneasiness and sighed and continued to explain.
"To explain it step by step…the rapid growth of the character you mentioned as a leader I realized for sure that it was true."
"Well."
"And what I found out was how I changed after awakening the leader.”
"……oh, to yourself?"
When Kang Yoo-sik asked with a surprised look, Nam Gung-ryun nodded with a bitter look.
"That’s right."
Actually, it's not surprising to think about it.
He has awakened his unique skill that can double the speed of growth, and he can't help but use it to himself first.
"I originally thought it was because of work stress…… I listened to you and thought about it, and something was wrong. I've awakened my leader and had more work to do, but at first, my personality was not fuc…… no, it wasn't sensitive."
"Huh…."
I was wondering how you would be able to understand the side effects of a leader, but I didn't expect to find out through yourself. It seems that the debt rating was not A-level for no reason.
"Then are you going to stay like that?"
"It's already been years, and I can't go back to the way it was…… but you have to throw away that nervous attitude. I was really sorry about the abusive language at the first meeting."
Nam Gung-ryun apologizes with his head down deep enough to reach the table. It may be because of the debt rating, but Kang Yoo-sik smiled at the sincerity.
"It's all right. That's why I can bring Nam Gung-ryun to be an outside advisor."
“…….”
Nam Gung-ryun looked up blankly at Kang Yoo-sik's answer and soon burst into laughter without realizing it.
"Kukuk…. Yeah. You could have seen it like that.”
Normally, he would have frowned, but this time Nam Gung-ryun, who burst into laughter, looked up with a relieved look.
"Thanks."
"Please do well with the teacher in charge of the club and as an outside advisor later on. Oh, but how are you going to use the leader in the future?"
When Kang Yoo-sik suddenly came to mind, Nam Gung-ryun removed his laughter and made a serious face.
"I was going to tell you that, but I'm going to put personality education into the course from now on. There's a risk of going off, but there's also a risk of going the right way."
"Hmm…… that’s right."
It's the words of S-class Hunter, who turned into a disaster-like man, but if you look at it then, there must have been a Hunter who was justified thanks to the leader.
In the future, if people recognize side effects and train personality, they will have positive effects, unlike before returning.
"Are you going to talk to the people around you?”
"No, I have to keep it a secret. I can't trust anyone but you."
"Oh, you've gotten a lot better than before.”
"………just let it go. That’s embarrassing.”
Nam Gung-ryun, who blushed slightly, coughed and continued again.
"Anyway…… We're going to do that, but I don't think we'll be able to pay attention to the details until we get settled down, is that okay?"
"Yeah, I'll take care of the rest when it's established anyway…… I'm going to call the cadets by your name from time to time, so please help me with that."
"If that's the case…….”
Nam Gung-ryun, who was about to answer right away, squinted slightly and glanced at Kang Yoo-sik.
"Just in case……don't do anything so strange that I can't cover. I can’t help then."
"You're saying anything is okay if you can cover?”
"Well…… you'd have a reason for that, anyway."
Kang Yoo-sik secretly smiled as Nam Gung-ryun talked with a suspicious expression.
Nam Gung-ryun, who has been busy frowning at him for three months, let alone trusting him, has sent such blind trust.
I felt very proud that the investment so far did not seem to be in vain.
"Don't worry. I won’t do anything stupid."
"No, you wouldn't…… well, now that I'm done talking, do you have anything to say?"
"Well…."
What else can I ask Nam Goong-ryun to do here? One thing came to mind in Kang Yoo-sik's mind, which he had been pondering.
"Do you know Lee Harin?"
"Lee Harin……Is she in the third grade?"
"Yes, that's right."
"I know her. She had specialized classes in freshman year."
"……did she?"
As the information was not even recalled by the memory map, Kang Yoo-sik looked at it with an unexpected look, and Nam Gung-ryun looked bitter.
"She only went to class for the first semester, but she gave up and left. Maybe that's why she's not known."
"Hmmm. She gave up the class…….”
As expected, she still seems to have a problem with her abilities. When Kang Yoo-sik was interested, Nam Gung-ryun looked at him with a curious look.
"But why are you asking?"
Kang Yoo-sik smiled at Nam Gung-ryun's question.
"I want to get her in.”
* * *
"……cl, club?"
After hearing Kang Yoo-sik's words, Lee Harin looked at him with her eyes wide open.
Nam Gung-ryun suddenly called and the cadet who made a fuss outside waited for her, and now he's even trying to make her join a new club.
In such a sudden situation, Lee Harin rolled her eyes, glanced toward the room where Nam Gung-ryun was out, and asked carefully.
"Well, uh… is it because of the activity fee?"
Sungjin's club allocates activity expenses through evaluations such as classes, numbers, and prize records of cadets.
Because of that, if they think you are somewhat interested, they often try to recruit them as a club, and Lee Harin thinks it's that way.
"No, We have enough money for activities."
The amount promised by Yoon Kang-hyun is enough. Lee Harin rolled her eyes again at Kang Yoo-sik's answer.
"Then someone who’s in charge of chores……?”
"Why would we ask a cadet to do that?"
"They, they asked me to…….”
“…….”
“…….”
Kang Yoo-sik had a strange look at Lee Harin, who lowered her eyes and covered her face with long hair as curtains.
‘Is this the real Beast Queen?'
A-class hunter who was also called the "One Corps" for taming dozens of beasts, and was recognized as "S-class" only for a large-scale war.
That Beast Queen Harin was so timid when she was a cadet. Whether it's a guild or a society, she always said what she wanted to say, compared to that, she was a completely different person.
‘It can't be the same name but a different person.’
Did something happen and change her personality? Kang Yoo-sik, who had been pondering for a while, went straight out.
"I'm trying to recruit you because you have great potential."
"……potential?"
"Yes, you have the potential to grow further…….”
"I'm going to be demoted to Silver Class this semester, though……?”
“…….”
“…….”
I thought the only personality was a problem, but it turned out that her ability is also in a difficult situation.
Kang Yoo-sik looked at Lee Harin, realizing that he had to feed everything from beginning to end.
"You have potential."
"I don't think so…….”
"Yes, you have. If you don't believe it, I can confirm it."
Lee Harin looked at Kang Yoo-sik talking confidently with a perplexed look.
Usually, being demoted in the class in the graduation class meant that they were such a failure that teachers could not cover, that they are hopeless.
But what's the potential of that kind of self? It would have been tempting in the past, but Lee Harin, who had been suffering for more than two years, could not be trusted.
"……how would you confirm?"
"I can show you myself. Let's go to the private training room."
Standing up from his seat, Kang Yoo-sik took Lee Harin, who was embarrassed, into a private training room on the second floor of the fitness center.
"Beasts. Did you summon anything?”
"What? Well, there's one, but…….”
"Then summon one."
I was worried if it was a situation where the beast was not even summoned, but fortunately, it was not that serious.
‘I don't have to get a beast, then.’
It's simple after this. Kang Yoo-sik, who took off his cadet's jacket, threw his cell phone roughly in the corner and called Kim Jin-hyuk.
-Uh, yoo-sik. What's up?
"Are you taking Mr. Han Moo-jin’s class, right?"
-Huh? Well.. yeah?
"What do you think of beast ride skill?”
-Hmm…….
Kim Jin-hyuk, who had been pondering about Kang Yoo-sik's question for a while, answered carefully.
-Honestly, spear skill is a little fun, but the beast ride is…….
"Is it?"
-Yeah. I think I know how to do it, but it's a bit off.….
In fact, Kim Jin-hyuk didn't really like to climb onto something even before return. Perhaps it was more stable to believe in his own body than to rely on something else.
‘Even though there's no Invincibility, he’s doing like that, then he might just not like it.'
Anyway, Kang Yoo-sik smiled when he confirmed that he didn't like beast ride a lot.
"Okay, train hard."
Kang Yoo-sik, who hung up the phone, threw his cell phone on his jacket and looked toward Harin.
"I…… I did prepare…… actually, I can’t properly…….”
"It's all right. Just summon it."
"But…….”
"Go ahead."
Lee Harin shook her eyes at Kang Yoo-sik's determined appearance, and immediately closed her eyes and shouted.
"……I don't know if you get hurt!"
Clap!
Lee Harin clapped her hands, and a huge magic wand was formed in the front, and a red spell gathered on top of it and began to form a body.
Phoenix, which was the most powerful at the same time as Lee Harin's first summon. The famous sommon, who later grew up and became a member of the S-class monster, is appearing in front of Kang Yoo-sik.
‘She said she had somehow completely subordinated Phoenix, and since then she's been dealing with her abilities.’
Although it did not say exactly what led to Phoenix's defeat, the way to open up Lee Harin's potential is to somehow subordinate it.
Of course, that's not an easy way, but Kang Yoo-sik had a possible way.
[Kim Jin-hyuk]
*Stat: Muscle, Agility, Durability, Spell power
*Skill: Deadly counter (A), Sword veil (A), Acceleration Avoidance (B)…….
*Unawakened Skills: Sky Moon Piercing (A), Resolution (A), Beast Ride (A)……
* Abnormal condition: increased motivation (recommended)
Kim Jin-hyuk has already learned how to use the Sword veil. In addition, it was an interesting collection list with interesting changes, but now there was a more urgent matter, so Kang Yoo-sik started with the collection.
‘Collection.’
[The debtor ‘Kim Jin-hyuk' will be forced into action. Collect Skill ‘Beast Ride (A)’.]
[The debtor ‘Kim Jin-hyuk' will be adjusted to grade F]
The debt, which seemed to be on the verge of grade A, disappeared at once, and Han Moo-jin's main specialty, "Beast Ride," is naturally settled in the body.
[───!!]
In the meantime, Phoenix, who had been summoned, burst into tears and spread his wings of fireworks threateningly.
"Shut up, man!
Kang Yoo-sik, who jumped up while jumping, hugged Phoenix's neck with his arms and clung his hips to its back.
"Oh, my!"
Lee Harin, who saw it from the side, looked surprised.
Although his skills are terrible, Phoenix, a summoned beast, was able to compete with the cadets of the diamond class in a very short time.
"you, you'll get hurt……!”
[Skill ‘Beast ride’ (A) is invoked]
"……hurt?"
A fiery back. Kang Yoo-sik, who hung proudly on top of it, grabbed Phoenix's neck and twisted it.
"Kiiieek!"
The screams like a chicken being sold to the market burst out of Phoenix's mouth.
