Chapter 110 – Chapter 110
It was Tuesday.
It’s like dying from exhaustion
I think senior Ahn is more to blame than the military president who bothered me at dawn.
No matter how ignorant I am, I can’t say this out of my mouth.
“Who is that person?”
“Yes. That pervert.”
“Be quiet. I will listen. What are you going to do if you get caught?”
More annoying than tired.
Wherever you go to the academy, all eyes are focused on you and you are busy whispering.
Of course, this was also the case when the ability to improve the opponent’s magical power was known.
However, after the rumor that he was asking for a large amount of money circulated, most of the people who blindly approached him disappeared, and they were only concerned about how they could not get close.
However, since yesterday, the type of gaze has changed dramatically.
That gaze should have been awe.
A spirit of reverence and fear.
They may be envious of me and want to be like me, but it is natural for them to be afraid of me in the same way that ordinary people look at awakened people.
‘Cause now I’m strong as a monster
However, it was completely different from what I expected.
What? Pervert?
Are all these bastards crazy about wanting to die?
Park Yu-ri of the brain sword. Old Man of Iron Wall, God’s Hand, Yoo Jeong-ha, etc.
When people call a transcendental person, they usually call it by attaching a modifying word in front.
And most of these modifiers are derived from their special abilities.
Of course, sometimes it isn’t.
If you froze the sea with such a flashy skill, isn’t it normal that a related modifier should be attached?
Kang Jung-hyeok of Snowstorm.
Snowstorm Kang Jeong-hyeok.
Kang Jeong-hyeok of heavy snow.
Bingsin Kang Jeong-hyeok… I don’t think it’s a bit different, but no matter how much it is, what? Pervert Kang Jeong-hyeok?
Korea’s new transcendentalist.
I was going to make a great appearance as the eighth transcendent, but I never thought it would turn out like this.
From the wind in the morning, I can hardly put a cigarette in my hand.
“Hello, Mr. Kang Jeong-hyuk.”
Half past eight.
After eating breakfast while being assaulted by people’s unpleasant gazes, I was deeply inhaling a delicious cigarette for dessert.
However, several men in scary-looking suits appeared.
I’m not even surprised anymore
Where should there be one or two people who come to visit me?
“What is it? I’m in a bad mood right now, so be prepared and tease me.”
“… We came out of the Blue House. The President asked us to deliver this directly to Mr. Kang Jung-hyuk…”
“Huh?”
They pulled out a box from inside their jet-black suitcase.
It was well packaged and had the words “President of the Republic of Korea” Embroidered in gold leaf engraved on it.
“What is this?”
“This is a gift from the President to Mr. Kang Jeong-hyeok.”
“Yes? Isn’t this a bribe?”
“No. It’s official, so you don’t have to worry about that. You can check it right away.”
The entire academy is non-smoking, but you’re polite.
I didn’t smoke in the restaurant openly.
I was smoking outside the building, but I went back into the restaurant to find out what was in this box.
Still, it’s a gift from the president, but why don’t you crouch down next to the building and open it instead of smoking?
“Aren’t you going? Why are you following me?”
However, these men followed me into the restaurant, saying they would go back if I handed over the present.
99% of the people in the restaurant turn their heads and look at me while eating.
Fuck you, did you see it!?
She let out a deep sigh and sat down in front of Ahn.
The senior, who had been eating ice cream for dessert since morning, seemed more interested in the men following her than in me.
“Ugh… It smells like cigarettes. But what are these people? Who are they?”
“President’s assholes.”
“What?”
Come to think of it, she didn’t tell her senior about what happened at dawn.
When I returned to my room after negotiating with the president, the senior was already gone.
She didn’t keep it a secret, she just never had a chance to tell.
Now I have roughly explained the matter.
“Even the president is in a hurry. It was rumored yesterday, but the call came at dawn. He doesn’t even sleep. Huh? But what is this? Maybe you want to give it to me?”
“I’m sorry, but this item is a gift sent directly to Mr. Kang Jeong-hyeok by the President.”
When a man in a suit spoke instead of me, the senior narrowed his eyes.
“I know! I just said it!”
“Is that so. I’m sorry. It’s a very expensive item… But if you’re not rude, maybe your name is…”
“What’s my name? What do you want to do? Are you interested in me?”
“It’s done.”
The man in the suit seems a little hot too, right?
On the other hand, the senior is sending a sharp gaze towards me this time.
What to say?
I didn’t know the meaning, so I decided to open the box in a hurry.
“Clock?”
“Yes. It is a presidential commemorative watch. Especially, this watch is specially made for the Awoken people, and the cost alone reaches one billion won…”
“Eh? What does this cost 1 billion? It’s ridiculous. Didn’t you do a lot in the middle?”
Senior Ahn interrupted again.
The man’s forehead twitched once.
Isn’t this a real fight?
Although it is impossible for ordinary people to overcome the seniors of today.
The senior who stole the watch in my hand turned it back and forth without raising a suspicious eye.
I am of the same opinion.
At first glance, it doesn’t seem like something worth a billion dollars.
However, at the remarks made by the man afterward, both I and the seniors could only nod.
“It is a mana-coated watch. It is produced in a limited number of 100 pieces and is coated to the level of A-class equipment, and the actual value will be worth billions of won.”
Just putting that expensive mana coating on a watch.
Well, it might definitely help.
It is said that the most lost and damaged things in dungeons are smartphones and watches.
In particular, watches worn on the wrist are likely to be destroyed first during battle.
The senior suddenly tried to put the watch on his wrist.
I know it’s a joke because I’m used to it, but the man clearly looked flustered.
“Well, it’s made for men…”
“Who’s got it? Just try it on. It’s small… Even though it’s not yours.”
At this point, the man became pitiful.
Because seniors aren’t the type to be pushed aside in an argument.
Stop giving up
Then it will be comfortable.
“Don’t you have mine? I also have the magic of the academy’s top!”
“Ah, was it Sora An? Yours should be prepared as well. But this time, I only visited because of Mr. Kang Jung-hyeok’s case.”
It’s an expensive watch, so it looks like the bodyguards deliver it directly, right?
I additionally checked the other items in the box.
There was a message that the president wrote in his own handwriting, and something else was visible.
It’s like a credit card…
“License?”
“Yes. This is a specially designed Awakener license card for transcendentalists. It is proof of identity that allows unconditional entry into all gates in Korea. It can also be used as a substitute for a check card. However, it is limited to Korea only.”
“Your work is faster than you think?”
“I understand you made it urgently last night.”
The corners of my mouth go up.
Being a transcendental person is really good.
Doesn’t the government prepare licenses all night long, and doesn’t the president call me early in the morning without sleeping?
That would mean that the country’s safety relies heavily on the transcendental or awakened ones.
I don’t feel bad.
When I asked why you followed me, you said you were trying to explain this?
It’s like a presidential bodyguard, but it’s a lot of trouble.
I have to run errands like this.
“I hope. I want to get it soon too.”
The senior sent an envious gaze.
I know I do that to make myself feel good.
I want to stroke his hair because he is so proud, but he has too many eyes.
But I have no intention of doing it when there are only two of us.
It’s difficult because you keep trying to drive the atmosphere to the weird side.
So, you have to think only in your heart.
I got the watch back and put it on.
It wasn’t my taste, but it looked good for the price.
“Can’t we sell this?”
“… It’s a very difficult item to get back.”
“It’s a joke.”
Unable to get along with the joke, they immediately went back.
I leave you with some good news.
It seems that most of the things that were requested from the president at dawn were passed.
The more I think about it, the quicker it gets, the better.
The licensing issue has already been resolved.
Regarding early graduation, the government said it would set a policy within this week and announce it through an official press conference.
I also heard valuable information, and Shinbaram Co., Ltd. Eventually decided to sell the dungeon expedition division through an open bid.
If you send a letter of intent to take over within this week, the government will pass it.
It’s really not long now.
Your own company.
***
In addition to the early graduation test at the end of the semester, the government policy has changed so that students can take the test at any time.
However, there was a condition, that he must have magic power of level 40 or higher.
My senpai and I who met the conditions were able to take the exam right away.
For those of us who could cover our lack of skills with magic attribute, we didn’t even worry about the practical test.
It will be enough if you gradually improve that skill by running with your body in actual combat.
Next is the theory… This was the same.
For me and my seniors, it must be an especially easy problem.
Monsters appearing in dungeons and their patterns.
From 1 to 1 to all to all.
From short-range and long-range monsters to all the necessary tactics against multiple monsters.
Reading the textbook once was enough.
I remember risking my life to memorize it because it was dangerous to enter the dungeon without such knowledge to us, who were supporters of the general public in the past.
I thought I’d use it here.
“Congratulations. You have not only met the early graduation requirement, but also qualified for the Class A license test.”
“Wow, really? I was worried because I had to go around step by step starting with F-rank…”
“And Mr. Kang Jung-hyuk… Congratulations on your graduation. Graduation qualifications for both of you will be issued within this week. The graduation ceremony will be held in February next year, so I would appreciate it if you could participate then. If you become famous by then… I will give a graduation speech as a representative. You can do it… Although you’re famous enough now.”
I already had a transcendental license, and my seniors were able to take the A-license test.
That means that you have been issued a B-class license.
I mean, I never went into a dungeon.
The government is also in a hurry.
It’s what I asked for, but I need to be more specific about this.
“It’s graduation… It’s sad. Going to school with green kids wasn’t bad… It was a problem because the theory class was boring.”
“What is he saying again? Who sang the song “I want to quickly enter the dungeon and make money.”
My senior and I looked at each other and smiled brightly.
I plan to stay in the dormitory for a few more days and return to Seoul on the day my graduation certificate comes out.
The academy is over now.
It’s not that I’m not busy…
“Senior, then see you next week.”
“Chi-Okay. Have my contract ready. I’m going to be strict about it.”
“Okay. Take care of yourself and have a good trip. You can have an affair, but if I find out, he will die.”
“Fool.”
Senior loves to travel.
He asked me to go with him, but I had too many things to do, so I couldn’t help it.
In the end, she left alone with her senior, but she didn’t look very dissatisfied.
She is a senior who always travels alone whenever her company vacations.
She saw her senior pack her things and leave her dormitory, and she immediately called her Hong Eun-young.
From now on, I have to deal with a really busy schedule.
“You know?”
“You want me to do it all by myself?”
“…If you do well, I will reward you.”
“Just don’t give up.”
I told Eunyoung Hong to contact my supporters, businesses and parents.
Now that I’m leaving the academy, I had to call the Hogangs to say hello and notify them of the schedule change.
They treat me even more carefully than the first time.
The name Transcendentalist carried that much weight.
Shinbaram’s public sale is next week.
The reason why the schedule was set so urgently is no different.
This is because the government started merging all the small companies.
To put it simply, he intends to sell it as quickly as possible before the ransom price drops further.
The 200 billion won they dreamed of has long passed.
Adding up all the sponsorships I’ve received so far, the money in my bank account is 72 billion.
Can this takeover succeed?
Will other companies enter the open tender?
Let’s see where
Who dares to steal the prey I’m aiming for?
