chapter 19
When I said that I would turn the international trade club into a gold club, I was puzzled by Haru Lee’s face, who had not seen a single change in expression until now.
“If you say that the international trade club is looking for a gold promotion, what do you mean?”
As if realizing her mistake, Lee Haru immediately erased her expression and looked at me in her original form.
However, seeing that her expression was already collapsing, I had no choice but to raise the corners of my lips.
“Are you afraid of being behind the scenes?”
“It’s the backseat… … What is that–“
“The international trade club has secured its security through the necessity of establishing business relationships with various clubs.”
In other words, it was because of the ‘necessity’ that the international trade club without the force to defend itself could be fully maintained.
However, the necessity was a story when the international trade club did not reveal its true intentions.
“Are you planning on hiring Bronze-level clubs as mercenaries recently?”
“It is unfounded.”
“Okay, then, think of this as just my guess and listen. There are two ways for a club to advance to the next rank.”
The first is promotion through performance.
Only one club can be promoted per quarter by submitting the activities and achievements of the club to the student council for promotion. Of course, clubs that are vulnerable are relegated.
The second is promotion using club games.
By declaring war on a club higher than the club of your own rating, if you fail, all rights to the losing club go to the winner, so it was a high-risk, high-return method.
“In the case of the international trade club, as it is a club lacking armed forces, mercenaries from other clubs must be employed to defend it. However… … Recently, the number of bronze clubs contracting with international trade clubs has been increasing.”
“It’s speculation.”
“You would want to think that way. Besides, are you preparing to sign a non-aggression pact with other clubs by spending a lot of money lately?”
If you allow other clubs to intervene during the club match, defeat will be certain, so it must have been the time when you were already talking with other clubs while spending a lot of money.
“… … It is confidential information that only the deputy director and deputy general manager know, but how the heck does the mastermind know that?”
“Do you think the international trade club has whistleblowers?”
“Other than that, I don’t understand the current situation.”
Of course there is no such thing. Because it was one of the biggest events that took place in the first semester of the first year, which everyone can know if you take the academy route in CS.
The silver club, the ‘International Trade Club’, hired other clubs as mercenaries for promotion and then waged a club war with the Gold Club, but in the end suffered fatal damage from the betrayal of other clubs with which they were inviolable.
Starting from this event, all the major executives of the ‘International Trade Club’ are dismissed, and the International Trade Club, where all the important executives have disappeared, is reduced to nothing like a part of other clubs.
From the player’s point of view, this event was a turning point in choosing whether to build affinity with the ‘international trade club’ or with other clubs. was more efficient.
The family of the head of the department, Haru Lee, as well as the international trade club, were nothing more than a subordinate organization of Callione.
In other words, I was going to change the future of this club, which was reduced to nothing like a slave.
“Don’t underestimate the intelligence of Callione’s successor, Haru Lee.”
By activating the blood system ability, it instills a sense of intimidation in Yiharu.
Haru shivered as if he had heard of the red haze rising around his body.
Well, the only thing I’ve seen so far is ‘Vito Callione’, my father and the boss of Callione, so my expectation of this kind of reaction was correct.
“Do you think there must be a traitor among your club members? Do you think your security is great? Stop talking about that nonsense. What is important now is what I prepare now, knowing this information.”
little by little, very little. I began to feel the fear flowing from her seep into my skin.
The head of the international trade club, who has only seen me as a kid I knew as a child. It was proof that Lee Haru was feeling fear for me right now.
Without missing this gap, she leaned her back on the backrest and looked at Lee Haru with her feet on the desk.
“Fund investment club.”
Haru Lee looking at me with trembling eyes at the words that came out of my mouth. I smile at her reaction.
“I will close the fund investment trade club within today.”
“… … Are you closing it in today? Even if you are a master, do you think it will be possible?”
“It is possible.”
Lee Haru’s mouth opens when he speaks very proudly.
“I appreciate your intelligence. But dismantling the gold club is a different story.”
“Isn’t it because the fund investment club was initially targeted because it had less power compared to other gold clubs?”
“… … If you know that, don’t you? No matter how low your strength compared to other clubs, your opponent is a gold club. It means that I too can only succeed if I risk everything and prepare.”
The fund investment club was also a club with a low level of force, but it was a club that made up for the lack of force with financial resources.
In other words, as long as there are clubs that are allied or contracted with them, their strength cannot be ignored just because their strength is low.
“By the way, how are you saying that the master, who is still only a freshman, is going to abolish the gold club? No matter how much a master this is—“
“Didn’t you just say it with your mouth?”
“───Yes?”
“freshman. It’s possible because I’m a freshman.”
He got up and stood in front of the wall with the calendar hanging on it.
“What day is today?”
“… … It’s the second day that freshmen have been admitted.”
“Yeah, and today is a day for freshmen to explore clubs. If so, where are the members of the other clubs that the fund investment club has hired or contracted?”
“Of course, to recruit other freshmen… … sun… … Are you opening a booth? However, the fact that the members are out is the same for our international trade club, and even if you apply for the club exhibition, it is unclear when the student council’s permission will drop.”
“If you use the connection with the international trade club that listened to the student council’s request, you should get permission within today.”
“… … We should be able to come out today, but don’t you know that it’s difficult to fight with our club alone?”
“If that’s the case, you don’t have to worry.”
“Yes?”
I turned around and took out the [Midas’ Gloves], the artifact I had put in the cube, and put it in my hands and said.
“Today, more than half of the fund investment club will disappear.”
“What is that–.”
“── Haru Lee. Do you remember when I first said I was going to make an offer to you?”
“… … I remember.”
Here I said the whole proposal, which I had never told her before.
“My proposal is simple. I will cook for you so that you can eat up the fund investment club within today. Instead, I hope that you and your club will promise unconditional support and support for the club I will create in the future.”
The ability of the international trade club is real.
By mobilizing her family and abilities, she can get things that cannot be obtained here in Korea faster than anywhere else, and she succeeds in upgrading the international trade club, which was only an affiliated club in the original, to a gold club.
It would be of great help if we could attract these talents to our side from the beginning.
“Be mine, Haru Lee.”
I reached out to her, who was still silently listening to me, and said,
“Foot.”
At the same time, she bursts into laughter.
“Push.”
The first smile that appeared on her face, as if wearing a mask. Haru Lee, who stole the tears from her eyes, lowered her head, slowly raised her gaze and spoke to me with a still playful smile.
“Is that a confession like back then?”
… … Confessions, I never imagined that she would be joking here.
Still, it was a joke brought out by Haru Lee, not anyone else.
Thinking this was a positive reaction, I answered with a sly smile.
“It’s overly self-conscious, Haru Lee.”
“I hope the master will listen to that… … .”
She looked surprised for a moment, then smiled again, and then took my hand.
even.
“I will accept the master’s proposal.”
“Good.”
After shaking hands lightly and shaking hands, I immediately opened the door to the office.
“Huh? uh?!”
At the same time, Jin-woo fell towards me, probably because he was attached to the door.
“What?”
“Oh, hello. boss.”
When he sighs at his pathetic face. Shaking his head, Yeong-je made Jin-woo stand up.
“It’s a soundproof door, so you can’t hear it anyway. He was like that as soon as he left the office.”
“yes? Was this a soundproof door? Somehow, I couldn’t hear anything.”
Somehow, when I said that I could still feel the popularity outside the door, it seemed that Jin-woo was putting his ear to the door.
Anyway, I knew it was a soundproof door and left it alone.
“uh… … Eugene Mr. Did the story end well?”
Kim Se-ah, who was standing behind Yeong-je, carefully asks me. It seemed that he was worried that the conversation was longer than expected.
“Yeah, the story ended without a problem. Rather, it was successful.”
“Oh, that’s good! So, are you going straight to the gold club?”
“okay. And, this day. We’re going to go ahead and start acting, so we’ll just have to leave as soon as we get permission.”
“I will do as the master says.”
She bowed to meet me as I left the office.
Jin-Woo, who was lying on the floor, jumps up and clings to me.
“yes? What? What else should we do?”
“Okay, I got the Bronze and Silver agreements, so I’m going to go get the gold agreement right away.”
“You say you go straight to the gold club without taking a break?”
“Anyway, Eugene did all the work, but what do you mean by rest?”
Youngjae sighs when he sees Jinwoo asking for a break.
“Are you going to the gold club? The silver club is on the 4th floor, so the gold club is on the 7th floor?”
“No, we go to the playground.”
“… … Playground?”
Youngje, who was going to join the international trade club first, stops and tilts her head.
“Why the playground all of a sudden?”
“The place to go this time is not the club room, but the club booth. and… … There, that guy should play an active part.”
Saying that and looking at Jin-woo, who was full of gloom, he looked around and pointed at himself.
“Eh? me?”
“Yeah, I think I can finish this job faster with your help. Maybe it’s something that only you can do.”
Was it because he suddenly said something that exalted himself?
The guy’s shoulders, which had been drooping, began to rise little by little.
“What can only I do? If that’s the case, you should definitely help! So boss, what can I do to help you? escort? Negotiation?”
“Keppan.”
“… … yes?”
“Let’s go play a match.”
For some reason, I didn’t say that I think you’ll do well.
