56 – What is that? (1)

[Main Building – Finance Department]

“Take a look. professor.”

Kim Seong-won and all members of the finance department bowed their heads in a way that was not excessive toward Baek Woo-jin, who turned their backs, and sent them off.

widely. When the door closed and Baek Woo-jin disappeared, Kim Seong-won was the first to raise his head, and the rest of the staff sat down and continued their original work.

“Na Hyun-ah.”

“Yes?”

Eight years have passed, but Kim Na-hyun, still the youngest, raised her head.

“Yes? Instead, come over here.”

“Something you can do via chat.”

“Ha~ The youngest is even talking back now.”

“The youngest is also the youngest… .”

Kim Na-hyun grumbled a little and got up from her seat and headed to Kim Seong-won’s seat. Kim Seong-won clicked his tongue briefly as he watched the 30-year-old man pouting his lips.

“Put your lips in before you hit one.”

“Yes… … .”

“And this bastard. You can’t do that to me.”

“What am I?”

“What? Hey. At the most important moment in the world, if you chew up all the communication from your boss and use the submersible, you should be grateful, dude.”

“No, how long are you going to worry about what happened eight years ago?”

“Until I retire.”

“under… … .”

Kim Na-hyun wiped her face with both hands, and the other employees who watched it swallowed a small smile.

“It’s okay, a file will come later, so select some people who meet the conditions.”

“What file is it?”

“List of graduates.”

“What are the conditions?”

“Well, your grades were sluggish in the first and second grades, but they improved noticeably? Or suddenly being selected as a scholarship student.”

“How long do you have to organize it?”

“Next spring?”

“… … ?”

“Why. Is it too short?”

“Nope. If that’s enough, I’ll just do it while I’m sleeping. I understand for now.”

“As expected, Nahyun Kim. Very reassuring.”

Kim Seong-won got up from his seat and took the coat he had hung up. Kim Na-hyun narrowed her eyes and asked.

“Where are you going?”

“uh. The professor ordered something else, so Min-sik is going to meet the cub.”

“… Aren’t you just going to the school affairs department to play?”

“Ugh!! Noisy, now go and do something, you bastard.”

“He called… .”

Nahyun Kim grumbled and went back to her seat.

Seongwon Kim put on a coat and told the staff.

“When it’s time, everyone will go to work. Professor Baek, don’t contact me unless you’re coming back. Good job then.”

Kim Seong-won left the finance department without looking back. The employees started to focus on their work again, thinking that it was a scene they had always seen, and Kim Na-hyun also moved her fingers after the work she was doing on the way.

[ One email from the General Affairs Division. ]

Kim Na-hyun opened the newly arrived mail shortly after. And he squinted his eyes.

[ List of graduates ] – (13MB)

“what. What is the capacity like?”

It was just a list, but the size of the file was strange.

Click, the mouse moved, and the document attached to the mail appeared on the monitor screen.

[1st class graduates] – [2nd class graduates] – [3rd class graduates… .

With the endless list and the size of the scroll bar reduced to the point where it was difficult to see with the naked eye, Nahyeon Kim picked up the pager installed on the desk.

-The phone is off… … .

“Ah!!”

Kim Na-hyun tousles her well-organized hair.

As if they were used to it, the faculty members ignored him, who was screaming, and continued their work in silence.

After meeting Kim Seong-won, I headed straight to Yu Hee-shin’s temple.

“Oh, Professor.”

“I’ll be back soon, so don’t worry and do your work.”

“Yes. I will.”

I passed Lee Ye-sol and went up to the second floor and entered the empty prayer room.

He said as he put down the demon bullet he had brought from the crack in front of the statue of a child who had tried to destroy it before and failed.

“It is a gift.”

【This is a gift that gives off a very unpleasant aura.】

With a clear voice, a small halo of light began to gather over his shoulder, and it soon took the same shape as the statue in front of him.

“I don’t think I remember giving permission to climb on.”

【What are you arguing about between us?】

The guy came downstairs, spitting out nonsensical onomatopoeia such as ‘sssscha’. Then, picking up a magic bullet the size of my palm, he asked me.

【Have you tried it?】

“Would you like to try it?”

【no. Did you just ask? Why are you so picky?]

The demon bullet that was placed on the guy’s hand gradually faded and then disappeared like a mirage.

【thanks. I’ll put it to good use.]

I replied with a nod of my head. I don’t know how that guy will use it, but at least it will be an overflowing physical evidence as a justification for intervening in affairs related to the dark side in the future.

divinity.

It is against the rules they have agreed upon to let what is called divine power dwell in something other than human.

【Are you leaving already?】

“Do you have any business?”

[I just met you after a long time, but I think you are leaving too soon.]

“I don’t think our relationship would have been that close.”

【A relationship is something that can change at any time.】

something that can change at any time.

It was definitely not wrong.

But.

“I’ll think about it when you’re a little more polite.”

【I’m excited!! bee!! What am I doing!!]

I left the prayer room leaving the noisy guy behind.

‘There are things that shouldn’t change.’

Quiet hallway.

Stepping on the stairs that led below it, I tidied up the disheveled coat.

I passed by Lee Ye-sol, who was doing her job to keep the words she first said after seeing me, and passed through the noisy streets, and returned to a haven where no one’s eyes or sound could reach.

“Have you been there?”

“… … .”

Claire walks down the softly lit hallway and comes out to meet me.

“professor?”

“Your gaze and voice reach.”

“… … ?”

“I’m talking to myself.”

“Yes… . Oh, give it to me.”

Claire casually came over and took over my coat and hung it on the hanger. After watching it for a while, he said as he walked to the study.

“If you open the last drawer of the library, there will be some slime essence.”

“… Integer, you mean?”

“yes. If he sleeps for more than half a day, feed him one at a time.”

“… … thank you.”

She stopped following me and bowed her head towards me.

Without saying a word, I approached her and gently grabbed her chin, which was bent at an angle. and slowly lifted it up.

“professor… … ?”

Claire’s eyes were very wide as she held her chin in my hands and raised her head, probably quite embarrassed.

When I lowered my head slightly, I could see more clearly the blue eyes that showed emotion.

“You bowed your head again.”

“ah… !! That, this, this is not that kind of… … .”

“A word of thanks is enough. Also, this is not something to be thanked for.”

It’s just part of my plan.

I don’t remember doing anything to deserve her appreciation.

I let go of Claire’s chin, which was starting to heat up little by little.

“Wait in the kitchen.”

“… … ?”

“Is there anything else you can do?”

“… There is not.”

“Then there will be no problem.”

“… … Yes.”

That day, Claire harpooned three chopping boards.

**

“Please come.”

-Beep~

She and Claire left the mansion, accepting a farewell or a yawn from the little rascal sitting on her shoulder.

It was soon after 9 o’clock, so the street was quite quiet. If possible, I wish I could always maintain this tranquility, but it would be an impossible wish except during the vacation season.

When I arrived at the annex, which was located a little away from the main building, the surroundings became quieter. The door to the classroom is tightly closed. I don’t know anything else, but it’s a soundproofed building.

drooling.

Using magic, I opened the door to the classroom assigned to me and stepped out. The atmosphere in the classroom is more rigid than the first lecture.

Today, Nam Seo-hee and I took a glance at a bag that we rented through a line and set it down on the podium. And he said to the guys who were looking at this side with a lot of tension.

“Please submit the assignment one by one, starting from the front row.”

There must have been no guys who couldn’t hear it because they talked with magic in sound.

My gaze naturally turned to the students sitting in the front row.

“Come out with your assignment.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Students looking down at their desks with their mouths closed.

“Bae Da-hyun, Kim Min-seok, Joo Young-hee.”

I opened my mouth to the three who shook their shoulders.

“If you couldn’t do it, say you couldn’t. Or is it cursed that no voice comes out?”

“Oh, no… . I couldn’t.”

“I.”

“Me too… … .”

Only then did the three of them open their mouths.

I nodded and looked at the next line.

“Neither did I.”

“I… … .”

“sorry.”

Two stood up from their seats in a row of students with their heads wet.

Dark black hair, the complete opposite of snow-white hair.

Baek Ha-na and Nam Seo-hee came forward and held out the printouts I had handed out.

“Baek Ha-na, Nam Seo-hee. Confirmed.”

The two of them didn’t answer, just bowed their heads and returned to their original seats.

Since then, exactly twelve more have submitted assignments. You have to look at the contents inside for the exact thing, but this time, the submission has meaning.

Fourteen of the eighty students submitted the assignment, including Hana Baek and Seohee Nam.

For some, it was a number that could only be called a mere number.

“fourteen. You’ve done quite a bit.”

The figure of 10% of the total was a larger number than I thought. I expected at most five, but I passed two digits.

“then.”

I put the submitted assignments in my bag, and unlike the first lecture, I opened my notebook and spoke to the students with pens in their hands.

“Take the rest and leave.”

Classroom door wide open.

That was the reason I came in without closing the door.
