Chapter 126 – Chapter 126
“I don’t think this is a big problem. It was just a small accident. Already about two months ago, the magic I used at the academy was disclosed on the Internet. Yes, that was an accident too. But everyone would think that I was the victim. But I don’t think I was victimized. So it’s not a big deal, is it?”
“It’s not damage… Isn’t Mr. Kang Jung-hyeok being attacked as a pervert on the Internet due to the leak of the last academy video?”
“I don’t think it was an attack. As those who already know, I had no choice but to do it because all my clothes were frozen and crushed by the aftermath of the magic at the time. “But I don’t think it’s an attack because it didn’t affect me in any way. If I thought so, I would have sued them all, right?”
“That sounds like you could sue.”
“Of course. The moment you cross the line, you have no choice but to do that. I can’t go to the bad guys and beat them up.”
“Well, it would be much better to sue than that.”
Laughter erupted from all over the press.
I am mentally strong.
It wasn’t even an attack to the extent of being perverted.
However, if you cross the line, you can sue at any time, so I sent a message to be moderate now.
In the first place, the purpose of this press conference is not to attack malicious commenters.
Improving my image is a priority.
If you said this much, you would know.
The reporter’s questions continued.
“But I still don’t understand. Isn’t this video leak a bit different? Might come after Kang Jeong-hyeok…”
Psychose.
It is the name of an international criminal organization made up of transcendental and super-awakened people.
As you can tell from the name of the group, it is just a meeting of lunatics.
There was an uproar at one point in the wind that two of Korea’s 7 transcendentalists joined there.
However, they have never been active in Korea.
However, one thing that can never be caught off guard is that the number of Transcendentalists known as members of the Psychose now exceeds ten.
It has a stronger power than most countries, and each country is suffering from a big headache.
Garbage that appears on the international news page when a major incident breaks out and makes people nervous.
“Um… Reporter. Do you know what surprised people the most after watching my video this time?”
“Yes… There’s been an uproar right now because you use both swordsmanship and magic. Of course, I’ve heard rumors about it since I was in the academy, but… The reality of it became known through the video released this time.”
The other reporters nodded their heads in agreement.
Looking forward to my next reply.
What do you want me to answer?
“Yes. I am a wizard and a swordsman. But the abilities revealed this time are only those of an Awakener. It means that there are several other wizards and swordsmen with abilities similar to mine. It’s not really something to hide. But I’m not a transcendentalist? In this video, the transcendentalist Kang Jeong-hyeok’s abilities were not revealed at all. Just as you can’t know all of her abilities just because you know that transcendentalist Park Yu-ri uses a lightning sword, just because I deal with freezing magic and a sword, and that video It’s not a big problem just because it’s been revealed a little bit. It’s less than 10 percent of my ability.
Being proud is right, but it’s not wrong.
The sound of 10 percent… The reporters’ pupils widened when they said that my skills were at least ten times stronger.
Judging by the louder sound of tapping on the laptop, it seems that they paid attention to this part.
The reporter who asked the question also sat down quietly, probably in a hurry.
Passed the hurdle
The next question was about my performance.
Nan, who was dispatched at the same time as the gate backflow incident occurred on Monday, was at the scene even before the government rescue team arrived.
They dealt with monsters, and even saved lives, albeit in part.
Even in the leaked video, that part was not edited for even a second.
It was time to bite, and there were reporters who were quick to ask such questions.
Cute things.
I played humility.
“It’s not a big deal. I just wanted to do something as much as I received benefits from the government. It’s just a pity that I couldn’t save even one more person.”
The flash went off again.
Okay. This part is the highlight.
Hurry up and write an article and post it on the Internet right away.
Even with the stigma of being a pervert, a transcendentalist who secretly protected everyone!
Kyaa~ The title kills me.
Even if only this amount of article titles were selected, Roundy’s mother would see me again.
Various questions from reporters rained down.
But I answered calmly.
Since I had already decided on the principles I had to follow beforehand and participated in the press conference, I was able to deal with any difficult questions.
There were two main principles.
First of all, the first thing is to respond to the questions I want and really want to receive.
These questions were actively answered over a long period of time.
However, in order not to overdo it, I was consistent with what people often say in textbook answers.
Thanks to this, even if it did not attract interest, it had a great effect on improving the image.
I needed to be careful because I could have messed things up by overdoing it.
The second is how to deal with questions I don’t want to answer.
As long as the word ‘giregi’ is not for nothing, there were many questions that were cleverly trying to feed me.
Sharp questions like a veteran reporter?
Tell me not to be funny
Fuck you guys
Look at all the questions.
“As far as I know, all Awakened members of Awake Lady are made up of only women, except for the representative, Kang Jeong-hyeok. Have you ever thought of yourself? Why do you insist on being a female Awakener?”
Of course, you can directly refute this question.
However, this was highly likely to be seen as an excuse, and a single mistake in speech could have the opposite effect.
So, the method I chose was to return to the question again when I was asked such an embarrassing question.
“Why do you think that way, reporter? Why do you think I insisted on being a female Awakener?”
In this one word, it was not me who had to answer the question that troubled me, but the reporter who brought up this question.
A few reporters were embarrassed and embarrassed, and some well-spoken reporters bit me until the end.
However, in the process, the package of defending my position instead of my own or asking questions from an objective position disappeared and only turned into criticism.
The more I did, the more relaxed I became.
“Isn’t it just that Kang Jung-hyuk likes women?”
“What is the gender ratio of your colleagues around you?”
“They are all men.”
The male reporter confidently returned the answer.
“Then reporter, do you like men?”
Again, laughter broke out in the press box.
The perplexed reporter was busy replying as if it were absurd.
“I’m just a journalist. It’s our boss who decides…”
“Ah, so you’re saying that the president of Dungeon Today is revealing a man?”
“It doesn’t mean that. It’s just that the ratio of men is high, but there are also female employees. Our company only hires based on skills…”
The hot-headed reporter was ready to attack me right away.
I held out his hand and stopped him.
All eyes were focused on my sudden action.
With a bright expression on my face, I called the male employees of our company who were brought out today to the podium.
All of them are office workers, but that doesn’t matter.
“The reporter said. These are the male employees of our company. You had a lot of trouble preparing for today’s press conference. Could this be the answer? Or are you doubting the ability of our company’s Awakeners? All of them are talented friends who have recently acquired at least a B-level license. Do you?”
“It’s not me… It’s the Internet…”
“There are many things that can create an image floating around the Internet, but I think the big part is your articles here. If reporters see me wearing tinted glasses, no matter what the truth is, the color will fade and be reflected to the public. Reporter Do you really think I’m a pervert?”
“That’s not so… I’ve never thought of a transcendental person as a pervert…”
“Thank you.”
The reporter sat down with a pale face.
A look of bewilderment was evident.
No similar questions have appeared since then.
In order to bring up a question, evidence was needed that the question was an objective question that the public was curious about.
He must have thought that if he attacked blindly, he would be treated like the reporter before.
Our employees, including Ahn Sun-bae, look at me as if I am absurd, but the original corporate image is just an illusion.
I have nothing to say even if I hear the pervert of revealing a woman, but as a company representative, can I do this much?
It’s much better than being exposed to your personal life and ruining your corporate image in an instant.
The press conference ended well.
The headlines of articles on the Internet that I checked around the evening were more friendly than I expected.
And the comments below…
– Oh, I envy those people. I want to join that company too. He’s handsome, he’s strong, he’s good at talking… And he makes good money.
– Anyone who watched the full video of the interview? For several hours, I have been looking only for Kang Jeong-hyeok’s articles. Seriously, why am I here…
– I prefer pervert… Take me please. Ha ha
– That person is the 8th Transcendentalist? I saw him for the first time today and he speaks well and is handsome. He wears good clothes and looks like he’s nice when he sees the video, but it seems like there are a lot of people who say too much.
– It wasn’t a pervert, it was a thief. Take my heart now
– It’s just a press conference video, but what’s with the number of views?
It was enough to make me smile.
Occasionally, malicious comments were also mixed, but they were very few.
The number of malicious comments may not have changed from before.
However, the huge amount of positive comments that exceeded him were pushing them down.
This is the ripple effect of the leaked video two days ago.
Most of the comments seemed to be from women, but the reaction from men was not too different.
“How’s that disgusting look?”
“Senior, my image has improved. Aren’t you happy?”
“I feel bad. You’re not some kind of celebrity, do you love Junghyuk oppa?… Ugh.”
“There are also comments from seniors. Who is that announcer wearing glasses? It’s pretty.”
“What? Really? Where where?”
“It’s bullshit…”
The senior hit me with an angry expression.
In the office where all the employees had left work to solve her frustration, I bounced hard on my back.
Next time, I don’t know if we have to hold a press conference to explain the company’s deputy CEO, An So-ra, about her private life.
This pervert.
“Ahhh-!”
***
“Circle.”
“T-chief…”
Donggeul still calls me the team leader.
Sometimes they are called differently.
“How is the reaction of the parents of the children’s letters? Did you not say anything after watching the press conference yesterday?”
“That’s… Over there…”
Hmm? Why is he like this again?
Has the press conference not been effective yet?
Well, maybe I’ll know that my reputation has changed only when I go to a local gathering and talk about it in earnest…
“Chief! I… That’s… Mom…”
“Yes.”
Lee Dong-geul sighed and twisted his body like a twist.
The employees are very busy before leaving for a large-scale expedition tomorrow.
Currently, there are only two people in the conference room, me and Lee Dong-geul.
“What’s wrong? Do you want to take a break?”
“No… That’s not it… Mom…”
“Yes. Are you a round mother?”
She suddenly came close to me.
I hurriedly looked out of the conference room.
If someone sees it, it will be noisy again.
Lee Dong-geul, who was sitting on top of me leaning deeply on the chair, whispered in my ear with a teary expression.
“Mom… Wants me to marry a man like the team leader.”
“Yes?”
“What do you think, Captain…?”
