Chapter 26 – Episode 26
Bae Ji-su woke up while quietly working on copies in an office atmosphere that was colder than the winter chill.
“Please focus for a moment.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to her at her team leader’s words.
“Some people may already know, but yesterday the rape villain appeared again.”
As Bae Ji-su spoke, Kim Hanna lowered her head.
“The victim is Lee Ji-eun, a Class B psychic. If you only listen to this point, you might end up saying it’s a shame, but a bigger problem has arisen than that.”
“A rape occurred right inside a protective shelter guarded by S-class and A-class psychics.”
When Bae Ji-su sighed, Kim Ji-ho, who was next to me, gave additional explanation in a low voice.
“The S-class is Lim Eo-jeong, and the A-class is Park Hee-seon, an expert in the space field.”
“I don’t know if some low-level psychics failed…”
“Even though two people who can fly and manipulate time and space joined forces, they couldn’t catch the rape villain… This is it.”
“That’s right. So the atmosphere of the association became a mess.”
Kim Ji-ho, who was speaking, smiled awkwardly and looked at Bae Ji-soo.
Bae Ji-su, who waited until I understood the situation, opened her mouth again.
“In the end, the Daegu headquarters of the Psychic Association sent a request for cooperation to headquarters across the country.”
“Ha. Did that happen in the end?”
“Big, big deal…”
“… Tsk!”
It was an unusual atmosphere, but this time I was the only one who didn’t understand.
“Older brother. Wouldn’t it be good if psychic hunting associations join forces?”
When I asked Jiho Kim, who was scratching the back of his head, he shook his head.
“Even though the general framework of the psychic association is the same, the associations actually do not get along well.”
“Why? Are there any regional feelings?”
“It’s not wrong.”
Crazy.
What kind of world is it these days and do you have regional feelings? I wanted to, but.
“When the great earthquake occurred three years ago. “Most psychics have found their hometown.”
“To protect your parents or friends?”
As soon as I calmed down to some extent, I went to my parents’ house.
Both of my parents passed away in the aftermath of the earthquake.
Since then, I have been living alone in my own room without any family.
“That’s right. From then on, local feelings began to bloom little by little.”
“I woke up in Seoul and then went to Jeju Island! Or something. Abandon the residents of Ulsan and go to Daejeon?! “In this really useless part.”
“Such useless emotions are accumulating… And even affecting the association.”
“Isn’t it ridiculous? That’s why psychics don’t go to other areas without a formal order.”
“Now that things have ended up like this, Lim Eo-jeong will probably go back to Seoul.”
“Lim Eo-jeong, are you from Seoul?”
“No. He is from Cheorwon, Gangwon-do. “I heard he originally ran a restaurant near the military base.”
“But why are you going to Seoul?”
“Let’s still manage the strongest players in the capital. I think so.”
“They just set the law the way they like.”
“Phew. That’s accurate.”
Kim Ji-ho smiled and laid back comfortably on the chair.
“Are we finished chatting?”
“I’m sorry, team leader.”
“I’m sorry.”
“No. Jinsu doesn’t know much about the association.”
“Until we return and resolve the rape villain issue, association members belonging to the branch in Daegu will temporarily lose their association membership rights.”
“Ha. Is this what happens in the end?”
“Aaaaah! There are so many discount events for association members!! Damedes!! Kannajjjaeung!!”
“…”
“Yes? What kind of bullshit is that? Why are you taking away my authority?”
“You guys in Daegu couldn’t solve it, so we’ll help you. Instead, don’t disturb and stay organized. “It means.”
“It’s crazy.”
“It was crazy. But that’s the association’s way.”
It was shocking beyond absurd, but I understood it to some extent.
The Superpower Association is a new organization that was established only three years ago.
A very unstable organization that extends all over the world and has many people.
There are many powerful people, but there is no proper law, so [Ah!] Becomes the law and [Huh?] Becomes the law.
Bae Ji-su laughed and took off the team leader badge that was pinned to the collar of his suit.
He brushed the surface of the badge with his thumb for a moment and placed it down on the desk.
“I don’t know when, but let’s meet again when the rape villain incident is over.”
“Thank you for your hard work, team leader.”
“Tahahah! It’s sad to break up like this!!”
“Team leader… Let’s go into the labyrinth together.”
Everyone left the office helplessly, saying what they wanted to say.
Bae Ji-soo stays behind as if trying to follow the law that the team leader must be the last to leave the office.
“Once the problem is resolved, won’t we meet again? Why is everyone saying hello as if it’s the last time?”
As Bae Ji-su approached with a forced smile, he chuckled.
“If it were a different situation, we would have been able to meet again soon. But I think it’s a little difficult this time.”
“Why?”
“That Lim Eo-jeong failed. Park Hee-sun, who is called Korea’s prison keeper, also failed.”
“The superiors are also looking at least one year until the rape villain is caught.”
“… Really?”
“Okay. Although it was a short time, it was fun to be together. Let’s have a drink in private later.”
As I was making fun of my dick like that, my one-month job experience came to an unintentional end.
As she sat dazed on a park bench near the association because it still didn’t feel real, her cell phone rang.
“Hello.”
“Should I call him unemployed rather than pornographic lover?”
“You bastard.”
Where on earth did I hear this? It was a sparrow who called God with the intention of making fun of him.
“I’m glad though. You were fired after receiving your first paycheck, right? Ah! That was your last paycheck, right? Ah!”
“Hyung, I’m not in the mood to be pranked right now.”
“What about unemployed brother? He comes home quickly. Eunmi Chicken is waiting.”
“Taxi!!”
The moment I reached for the front door handle, the house door opened by itself.
“Are you unemployed?”
“A psychic trespassed here. Where should I report it?”
“Go to the association~ But it’s not there anymore?”
“Fuck.”
When I pushed him and went into the house, Eunmi had a full set of chicken and beer.
After lightly washing my hands and feet and sitting down at the head table, a sparrow sat across from me.
“What should I do because I feel pity? “I’m unemployed.”
“It’s other people who feel sorry. “I was a no-brainer anyway.”
Uh… Do you think so, that I’m such a bad bastard?
Until just now, my thoughts were focused on [My job loss], But now it seems a little distant.
The reality is that all association members lost their jobs because of my shit…
Suddenly, my heart aches with guilt… Shit!
‘Sick association bastards! What’s the point of an association when even I, a fellow F, can’t catch up?!’
Come back stronger! Poor children!
I felt better after eating beer and Gotgat Eunmi Chicken.
The sparrow ate all the chicken legs by himself and quenched his thirst with beer.
“Hehe! So what are you going to do now? Are you going to spend your days watching porn like you used to?”
“You’re a producer, not a viewer, right? What. Since the F-class labyrinth is worth going to be anyway, you can go around the labyrinth.”
“F-class is really not the place to go. Did you go to an academy or something and get an E level? It is possible with your abilities.”
“Real?”
“Uh. “The more I think about recycling, the more it becomes a thing.”
“If you separate, you bastard.”
“Ahh! Was it like that?”
In response to the guy’s answer, I put the chicken bone in my mouth and sucked it before lying down on the floor.
‘It’s an academy…’
As someone who doesn’t know much about superpowers, learning about them properly was a good option.
“How much is the academy fee per month?”
“It depends on the level, but a place that recognizes your name will pay 100 million won a month?”
“I won’t go.”
“It’s not that I can’t go, right?”
“Please refrain from using facts.”
After thinking seriously, I gave up on going to the academy.
… It’s not that I can’t go because I don’t have money.
“Sparrow. “Would you like to take a walk around the Dalseong Park labyrinth to digest it?”
“As you wish.”
So I came to the F-rank labyrinth with a C-level reliable supporter.
As a habit, I swiped my association member card when entering.
Beep! Beep!
[This is an unregistered card!]
“Hey Baeksu. “If you steal an association member’s card, you’re screwed~”
“Shut up.”
I sighed and took a photo of my psychic registration card instead of my association member card, and it was recognized as normal.
As soon as she entered the labyrinth, she tore a summoning scroll from her hip bag and summoned the lowest fire spirit.
“Hey. Are you still using that?”
“I bought some things.”
“Now that I’m unemployed, I need to save money.”
“Yes, yes, I understand~”
I brushed it off as a joke, but I felt good because it felt like the sparrow was thinking of me.
‘I’m sorry, Sparrow. If I succeed, I won’t be able to reveal my abilities.’
The moment you reveal your abilities, you become a rape villain! It’s the same as doing it.
Sparrow isn’t the type of person to spread my secrets, but she is.
Anyway, after walking around the labyrinth with Sparrow for about 2 hours, the fire spirit disappeared.
The moment I was about to tear one more sheet, the sparrow stopped me.
“How much money have you saved?”
“Is there anything? “Why?”
“No. It is a bit more expensive than a one-time scroll, but there is one that can be used semi-permanently.”
“Semi-permanent? What is that again?”
When she tilted her head and asked, the sparrow smiled slightly and rolled up her wrist sleeve.
There was something drawn in black on the skin of her arms, which were full of muscles.
“Did you have a tattoo?”
“I did it recently.”
“Fuck you.”
“Isn’t this just a tattoo? It’s a magic tattoo. “Every C-level person does one at a time.”
“Magic tattoo?”
“Look carefully.”
Like a sparrow gathering her energy, she placed her arms next to her waist and whimpered! As she inhaled, the black tattoo on her skin turned red.
Her arms, which were the color of her flesh, suddenly turned gray and the sparrow stretched out her arms toward me.
“Touch it.”
I tried stroking her arm, but it was so hard that it could hardly be called a muscle.
“Could it be… Is it iron?”
“Awesome? When I went to the C-class labyrinth, I couldn’t solve it at speed. So I spent some money to say this~”
While explaining, I put my fists together, and it was like metal clashing! Kang! I heard a sound.
“You’re crazy. “How much is it?”
“B-class steel grant. 5 billion on one arm.”
“10 billion for two? “I can’t help but shout.”
“My bank account hurts a little this month, but it’s an investment for the future.”
The guy removed the magic tattoo and shook his hand.
“Have you decided what type of battle you will use?”
“Because the ability itself is close to a support type. “I want to support rather than fight directly.”
“Then, try getting a magic-type tattoo or a summoning-type tattoo like now. “If it’s E-level, there must be a lot of guys who would be okay with 50 million won, right?”
Since it’s a summons… Maybe it’s not that bad?
