Chapter 53 – Chapter 53
There are often things people say without thinking.
This is what I say to the lowest scum of the Awoken Academy.
– Why do you go to the dungeon when you lack skills? With that beauty, if I were like you, I would become a celebrity.
– With that body and that face, doesn’t it make more money doing internet broadcasting than going around F-level and E-level dungeons?
– You have a pretty face, but if you get married well, why are you so anxious to go to the dungeon? In an era when there are hundreds of thousands of Awoken, who knows who is not even among the top 100,000 Awoken?
But these things they say because they don’t know what.
Awakeners grow by entering dungeons.
You get support by going to dungeons, you earn money by defeating monsters, and you get support from the public only by doing so.
As those who experienced the bottom of the academy, the desire to become stronger than anyone else and the desire to be recognized is strong.
Jobs like celebrities, broadcasters, and models.
It’s not just that everyone says that the face is pretty.
If the guys on our team only believed in their looks, let’s say they gave up going to the dungeon and became celebrities with the title of Awakener.
Appearance will be top class.
However, no matter how pretty the face is or how good the body is, it is also very self-evident that giving up going to the dungeon itself will receive a lot of criticism.
Victims and their families, as well as the general public, who suffered from the monster that appeared in the gate regurgitation say this.
Why do you have power and not use it properly?
In a world where Olympic stars and people with professional careers are criticized even if they decide to leave their original jobs and become celebrities, ordinary people will never accept that awakened people who need to protect their lives appear on TV and giggle.
Because I took it for granted that I had to enter the dungeon.
All kinds of welfare and support for the Awakened are paid with the taxes they paid to be safe.
Then, how does Jang A-ra appear on TV and model?
This is very natural.
She has played the role of Awakener desired by the public well enough and continues to do so.
She risked her life to enter unknown dungeons, defeating monsters and subjugating bosses.
Even if she didn’t want to stand in front of her public, her public started to support her and love her and cheer her on.
As long as she goes to her dungeon, her public will support her indefinitely.
In other words, those who have things get more and receive praise, but those who do not have power and have nothing get criticized for doing the same thing.
Even if it is a difference in innate qualities, they are treated as people who have not made any effort.
Of course, this is not a story limited to the world of the Awoken.
“Only answer the questions I ask from now on.”
In fact, Jang Ara belongs to the highest group of Awoken people and seems to have everything.
What the hell is she thinking torturing her own brother?
Looking at the situation, it is highly likely that Zhang Yong was also deeply involved in what happened at her academy.
I’m almost 100 per cent sure if I recall the conversation I had with the conductor.
“Name is?”
“Hello. I’m Gang Jeong-hyeok, in charge of Team F. I’m on the team with Jang Yong…”
“That one?”
“Isol Kim.”
“Why did you tail me?”
“The one we followed was Deputy Director Park. You never…”
“Why did you overhear?”
“Because it’s suspicious.”
My heart was scared.
I was more afraid than when I dealt with anyone else.
Her very calm voice made her recognize her as a strong person.
Despite having the ability to simply neutralize her powers, I was overcome by the aura she exuded.
In fact, it seems almost impossible to touch that woman’s body in this situation.
“Hmm… I guess I’ll kill you too.”
“Can I say something?”
“Try.”
“Did you hear from Mr. Jang Yong that I want to meet you?”
I wanted to figure out the relationship between Jang Yong and this woman.
Of course, I knew that they were siblings, but I needed to know if they were on good terms or not.
Only then will there be a chance to overcome this crisis, whether it be horseback or whatever.
Jang A-ra is wearing sunglasses now.
So it was difficult to figure out what she was thinking.
“I heard. But why should I meet you?”
“I wanted to give her advice for her growth.”
“It’s not necessary. It’s not a matter for you, who are not Awoken, to get involved.”
This woman is as cold as ice.
With this attitude, she is one of the people’s favorites.
Even her relationship with Jang Yong, her younger brother, did not look very good.
But what is the purpose?
With her level of wealth, there would be no reason to bother her brother with a fight over her family’s property.
So what is it that bothers Zhang Yong?
I started thinking seriously about what questions to ask now.
While doing so, Jang A-ra asked Kim I-sol.
“Are you on the same team?”
“So what?”
The situation was dire.
Because of Kim Isol’s personality, no matter how strong the opponent is, he won’t bend his heart in the slightest.
If two women had a fight, then it was a big deal.
In a situation where there is no healer next to you.
“Do you have a temper?”
“Isn’t that the same?”
“Aren’t you afraid? Do you know who I am?”
The fight between the two women was not normal.
Of course, one side is superior in actual skill, but there is a high probability that Kim Yi-sol is not the one to argue about such things, and she has no idea who her opponent is in the first place.
“Is there any reason I should know?”
“Both of you should do that much. Mr. Jang A-ra! We have to go back. Let’s stop at this point. I will take good care of Mr. Jang and support him…”
Then someone came up from the floor below.
There was a commotion upstairs, and a person who appeared to be a cafe employee appeared.
The uproar does not refer to the current situation, but it seems that it was a problem with the wooden table that Jang A-ra broke.
“Sorry. How much is that table?”
Seeing that she suddenly behaved politely, Jang A-ra didn’t seem like a very crazy woman.
That means he’s angry that we overheard his conversation…
Ara Jang said to her cafe staff.
I’ll pay ten times the price of the original table, so please go downstairs right now.
And since I was going to rent the second floor for the next hour, I told them to take the guests down.
Also, don’t send anyone up to the second floor.
Do you have that much money?
It writes like water.
What the hell are you trying to do to us?
I don’t know if the cafe staff noticed that her Jang Ara was an Awakener or knew that she was Jang Ara who often appears on TV, but she readily agreed to her request and went downstairs.
Was it the boss, not the employee?
You decide on your own.
Realizing that the situation was getting serious, I became impatient.
I said again that I missed the timing because of the cafe staff.
I have to go back to work right now.
Then this answer came back.
“Isn’t this the time to worry about the company?”
“I’m sorry, but aren’t you Mr. Jang A-ra from TV? Is this your original personality?”
“What’s my personality like?”
“Isn’t he very reckless? He’s someone who doesn’t know how to be afraid of comments on the Internet.”
“If I was afraid of that, I wouldn’t have appeared on TV in the first place. And what does it matter to you?”
“Isn’t there Mr. Jang Yong on our team?
I showed off my friendship with Jang Yong.
I did it on purpose to see how he would react.
However, the reaction was far different from what I expected.
It was like Jang Yong’s girlfriend who was extremely jealous.
“Yong-i? Who carelessly calls someone else’s younger brother’s name!?”
What?
Wasn’t it a bad relationship?
Had I been mistaken?
“I decided to be your brother and sister with him.”
“Don’t be ridiculous! Our dragon couldn’t have done that!”
Something smelled like a brother complex.
I implied questions about some of my realizations.
“By the way, doesn’t your sister worry about your younger brother?”
“Why? What happened to our dragon?”
“There seems to be someone who hates him very much… Oh, no. Don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of it.”
“What is it? Tell me quickly! What happened to our dragon?”
The atmosphere is quite different from when we first got behind our backs.
No, it’s not that the atmosphere is different, it seems like a very different person?
Kim I-sol was also glaring at Jang A-ra with a very bewildered expression.
“Yes. I heard that someone entrusted our company with a large amount of money and ordered Jang Yong to be tied to the F team. If you don’t hate him enough, you can’t have paid that much money, right?”
“…”
Realizing that it was her own story, Ara Jang’s expression looked very serious.
And then it was my turn to get serious.
Because this bitch suddenly came out to kill me.
“You can’t let that story get into our dragon’s ears. So you guys have to die on the spot.”
“Hey… Dragon sister. I’m sorry, but I think the joke went too far…”
“I’m sorry. I mean it. Our dragon should never know that you are a person like this.”
What kind of person are you?
Are you some kind of serial killer?
I felt like all the nerves in my body were on edge at the sight of Jang A-ra, who was suddenly preparing for battle and her expression hardened coldly.
“Is this woman his sister?”
Why did Kim I-sol intervene at this timing?
Shut up. Look.
I’ll take care of it myself, so don’t make it too big.
I looked over Kim Isol’s face with a frown and asked her to shut up.
“Tell me. Is this woman Jang Yong’s sister?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“What is it? Who am I again? My younger brother and I have completely different personalities.”
Jang Ah-ra, who shows an angry expression, seems to have gotten on the nerves with Kim I-sol’s last words.
She looked like she was going to throw her fist right at her Kim Isol.
Having lost our slave like this, I urgently devised a means.
“Huh? Yongah? Didn’t you go home?”
I said while looking at the stairs going down to the first floor of the cafe.
Truly a full-fledged performance with the heart to save Kim I-sol’s life!
It was a method acting that could not be compared even if it was nominated for an Oscar.
Embarrassed by her surprise, Jang Ah-ra hurriedly hid her fist behind her buttocks and searched for her brother.
But can you find it?
It’s bullshit.
It took less than five seconds for her to figure out that I was lying.
And it didn’t take 3 seconds for her face to rage to eat me, and it didn’t take 1 second for her attack to land on my face.
Finally, 0.1 second was enough for me to disenchant her.
She thought I was an ordinary person and attacked moderately. Fortunately, her shield was strong enough to defend against me, and I didn’t get hurt.
If I had demonstrated my skills, I would probably have been seriously injured or killed because my shield couldn’t absorb all the damage.
But seeing as she didn’t come up with such an attack, Jang Ara didn’t seem to be that bad of a person than shooting her in the mouth.
It just seemed a little too obsessive about her brother.
“Kyaaak-!”
She screamed.
This is a story I heard from Kim I-Sol not too long ago, and her sudden loss of her mana made her feel like she was naked in front of others.
Since Kim I-sol, the owner of F-class magic, is at that level, Jang Ah-ra will be several times more shocked.
Just seeing her now holding her front breasts with her own arms ended her rough grasp of the situation.
By the way, class A has 9 levels of magical power, so I don’t think anyone can do raids.
The number of skills possessed was also large.
“Ji… What did you do now? What did you do to me… Were you actually an Awoken?”
“No, don’t scream. People downstairs are amazed.”
“Uh… How… My magical power…”
“Please stand up and sit down in your chair. Listen to me carefully and I will return your mana.”
Isol Kim, who had heard the conversation between me and her, seemed to have finally realized how things were going.
Because she attacked me, she must have thought that Jang Ara’s mana was gone.
Because she had heard and experienced such a story several times.
“What is it, you’ve lost your mana? Why don’t you fuck around like before?”
“Hey… Mr. Kim Isol. Can’t you sit quietly? Do you want to lose your magic?”
“Sorry…”
Only two women sat quietly in the chairs.
No one came up from the floor below despite Jang A-ra’s screams, perhaps because she was an awakened person.
That’s how I was able to have a full-fledged conversation with Jang A-ra.
“Mr. Jang Ara. Let me ask you one thing. Why are you doing this to her younger brother?”
“…”
“If you don’t answer, you won’t be able to regain your mana.”
“…Because I don’t want my sister to be in danger.”
“Yes?”
“I know better than anyone how dangerous a dungeon is. It may not have appeared on TV or the internet because it’s classified, but I lost three of my colleagues in the dungeon this year alone.”
“Ah yes…”
“That’s why I just didn’t want the dragon to enter a dangerous place.”
“So you manipulated grades at the academy too? Using your reputation as a member of that raid?”
“Okay…”
Now I felt like I knew how the story was going.
“Then why did our company bother to send them to another team?
“…”
“Tell me. Are you planning on not regaining your magic power?”
“I never thought there would be a transcendental person in a place like this…”
Jang A-ra mistook me for a transcendental person.
Transcendent.
Heroes beyond the limits of the Awakener.
I heard that there are 7 transcendentalists only known in Korea.
There are two or three unknown people floating around on the Internet.
“Please answer my questions.”
“Your team only has women. What if some foxy girl seduces our dragon?
What?
This is really serious…
Brother complex…
So it’s not because you hate your sister, but because you love her so much that you didn’t want her to go to a dangerous place, and you did that to protect her from women?
It’s absurd.
But it didn’t matter.
Why am I here today
There was only one reason why the person who sponsored our company came.
Money.
I smelled money and came to this place now.
“Mr. Jang Ah-ra, don’t you want to stop sponsoring our company and sponsor me personally? Would you like to try it?”
So what are you going to do?
