chapter 22
“shit!”
Thanks to that freshman making a fuss inside the dungeon, people around me started to focus on this side.
A freshman who didn’t even know how to do a ‘challenge’ took advantage of this opportunity to elevate the club’s status… … .
‘Dangerous.’
Yes, it was a very dangerous situation.
I never imagined that he would fight so well against our club members.
No, you’re a freshman?! Are you a new freshman? But what the hell, such a nonsense guy came out of nowhere?
[If you don’t want to be deceived, come in now, bastard.]
The guy’s voice echoed from the speaker connected to the dungeon.
Remarks that attack our ‘fund investment club’ even if anyone hears it.
‘You’re provoking me out loud!’
He must have waged a muddy fight against us right now.
Damn, how the hell did it come to this?
The sketch for this ‘International Trade Club’ was perfect.
Reverse bribes recruited from the international trade club, make the opponent hit us first, gain image and cause, and counterattack using the personnel that were prepared in advance! After that, the ‘International Trade Club’ is subordinated to its affiliates, and we monopolize the distribution of the academy using our financial power!
If this plan was followed, the future of our club would be a solid road.
However.
That bastard, that freshman was the problem.
what? Are you the owner of the ‘international trade club’? Even calling in a bunch of onlookers?
Isn’t this a situation where we are caught in the reverse trap!
furthermore.
“Wow, no matter how many non-combat clubs you lose to one freshman?”
“This fund investment club must not be able to accept freshmen.”
“Are there many interesting sights today?”
Apparently, today was a day to convince other clubs.
‘Damn, why are you looking at me like that! Don’t look at me like that!’
What that gaze meant was so clear.
‘uh? Aren’t they the ones who didn’t matter as much as you thought? Is this enough for us to try?’ Eyes filled with the same greed and ridicule.
As it is, it is called an ‘international trade club’, and this is where the limbs fly first.
First of all, it would be a priority to reverse this atmosphere somehow.
She pretends to brush her hair naturally, wiping away the sweat, and then raises the corners of her mouth.
First of all, with a face that is as casual as possible–
“──Are you the manager of the ‘Fund Investment Club’?”
“Well?”
When I turned around at the voice calling me, I saw a guy wearing glasses with a blunt expression on his face.
If you look at the color of the nameplate… … Is it 1st grade?
“What is the first year? I’m sorry, but now is not the time to accept freshmen.”
“… … Not like that. Our manager in there told me to deliver this.”
“What?”
The guy with the glasses said so and handed me a briefcase.
“And if you don’t enter the dungeon right away, I’ll reveal this to everyone here.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I said everything the manager told me to tell. Then we will go.”
“What? for a moment!”
A guy who just says what he wants to say and then turns around and goes somewhere.
Feeling puzzled about his identity, he opens the envelope and the paper inside is revealed.
“uh?”
Upon checking the contents, immediately close the envelope again.
Wait, why is this here?
“Director? Go, why all of a sudden?”
“… … .”
“What the hell did that guy give you?”
The other members said something, but none of them listened.
By the way, what the hell are you going to say about the fact that what’s in the envelope is proof that we’ve been embezzling little by little of our investors! What the hell, why the hell is this… … .
It was then that everything was organized in my mind.
Why did so many students gather in this dungeon?
Why did the guy who handed me the book a while ago called that freshman in the dinning hall the manager?
Why is that guy looking at us like he’s very relaxed right now?
“I’m bored… … ! Sun chicks!”
The guy was trying to create this place from the beginning.
A situation where corruption can spread in front of everyone.
A situation in which we all have no choice but to attack him!
But it’s not all over yet. The number of these guys is just a check, but they aren’t even mates yet.
First of all, unraveling this check has priority.
“… … Instructor. All of the ‘fund investment club’, can we start now?”
“now? What … … The ‘challenge’ is a challenge for your club, so there is no problem with the school rules.”
No matter the means and methods, there is no choice but to make him shut his mouth.
* * *
… … you would be thinking
Those who don’t know chess don’t even know they’re over until they declare they’re checkmates, and that’s what they looked like.
Just looking at how I live, etc.
Are those villains or the faces of aspiring heroes?
But it was impossible to say anything about it. In the end, that kind of appearance was the evil of the academy system, which was stagnant after all.
So that’s how the scenario came about.
As soon as they entered, a red aura began to wrap around their bodies. [Blood System: Callione], recognizing all the men who entered the fighting room as enemies, started to react.
A feeling of excitement that is different from the past. In order not to get drunk with this ecstasy, I stare at the guys who rush to catch my breath.
Spear, Axe, Gauntlet, Sword.
Truly, these guys are armed with a variety of unique weapons and are ready to die against one person.
However.
“It’s too late.”
If I’m going to fight, I should do it before all my skills reach their peak.
A hatchet slammed down towards my shoulder.
Judging that an attack of that level would not take much damage, I responded to the attack and rushed towards him.
Break through one point to break the siege.
Even though he was wielding a hatchet, he gave me a startled expression at the sight of me rushing, but my fist was already on the verge of making a deep skin contact with his face.
Paang—!
With a violent sound, the guy’s body flew backwards as if it had been hit by a bomb. Backspin blow while turning at the same time.
The guy standing in the back is startled and raises the guard, but Woojik! I broke the guy’s guard with a sound, and my fist touched the guy’s chin.
At the same time, he collapsed to the ground as if he had been given sleeping pills.
“Damn you bastards! Don’t even think about stopping it, avoid it!”
“How do you dodge that attack! Fuck you, you beat me to everything!”
As the guy who shouted as if it was unfair, the exchange fee itself didn’t work in the first place.
Unlike the attacks of those that itch or hurt slightly when hit, my attack was close to fatal in every shot.
“Don’t fight, you bastards! It’s a ‘challenge’! If you lose this, you have to write a consent form to these bastards who don’t know anything!”
The general manager shouting at the mercenaries with a lot of anger, probably because he didn’t want to give the agreement that was nothing more than a guarantee.
“Everyone step back! I’ll go with a ranged attack from behind!”
“Protect the magicians and those who use bows!”
The mercenary commander’s orders, the guys who retreated back, began to straighten their formation.
Then the line opened up and the four people appeared.
Looking at the objects in their hands, they looked like two archers and a wizard.
Was it the intention to lose my stamina first with a ranged attack and try again?
Thinking that this is a really standard method, I look at the guys in front of me.
“launch!”
At the same time as the command, arrows and fireballs started flying from them.
The order of the mercenary commander was not wrong. Rather, in such a situation, it was not enough to praise him for calmly thinking of a standard method.
However, such a standard method works only in common sense.
The arrows that arrived first believe in the durability of my body and ignore it, then reach out to the fireball and squeeze it with their right hand to explode.
A magic that explodes and disappears, creating a huge wind as a reaction against it.
In the aftermath of this, the other arrows can’t find their way and fly to a strange place.
“The magic… … You’re going to burst it with your bare hands without any injuries?”
The mercenary commander looked at me blankly as if he had seen an unbelievable sight.
Actually, it was possible because of the [Midas’s Gloves] I was wearing, but he didn’t even know that.
“I’ve yielded one turn, so now I’m in.”
It was time to step forward and tilt the axis of the body forward.
“Fever! Stop it!!”
The guys in front form a group and stretch out their weapons to stop me. A movement similar to that of a phalanx that actually blocks horsemen.
But their opponents were not like horsemen.
In front of them, he leaps up and jumps with all his might.
“uh?”
Even if you were doing that with a blank expression, it was already too late.
As it falls to the ground, he throws a rolling thunder kick towards the manager who is protected by mercenaries and other club members.
A kick that increases physical strength using gravity and centrifugal force is lodged in the guy’s head.
Quang!
“Big!”
Is it really the sound coming from my head? The manager squatted down in his seat with a loud noise that made me think.
After confirming that he had completely lost his mind, I looked around and opened my mouth.
“The client I have to protect has fallen, what will you do?”
Then the mercenary commander appeared through the crowd.
“… … The enemy is running at you, and you are still standing blankly looking at it, you stupid bastard.”
Looking at the general manager who had fallen to the ground, the guy with his tongue turned around.
“Our ‘Fortune Soldiers Club’ is up to this point. With a client like that, I don’t think I can do anything more.”
The guy walking slowly towards the entrance of the dungeon. Seeing that, the other mercenaries also tried to follow him, but—
“What nonsense are you talking about, senpai?”
The guys who heard my voice stop.
“What?”
The mercenary commander turned his head and looked at me. I smiled at him and said,
“I was just asking if you would get it right, or if you were going to be right with resistance.”
I’m thinking of sorting it all out.
“… … This damn bastard.”
A guy who wrinkles his face after hearing my words.
I wiggle my hand towards the guy who grips the handle of his own weapon even tighter.
“It’s lunch time soon, so let’s finish it soon.”
Because I was starting to get hungry.
* * *
“No, how can a person wipe out that person without breaking a sweat?”
Jin-woo, who was about to hand me a towel as I step out of the dungeon, makes a bewildered expression.
“It’s like an office-related club, right? You could have done it too.”
“Eh? I don’t think so. Besides, aren’t the yangbans out there mercenaries?”
Jin-Woo trembles eerily while looking at the guys stretched out in the practice room.
“Looking at their skills, they must have been cheap people in the mercenary club. Maybe he decided in the first place that he didn’t need to spend a lot of money to deal with me.”
“… … Then the other person made a complete mistake?”
“Well, yes.”
Passing by Jinwoo, I look at the instructor standing on the sidewalk of the Dalian Hall.
“I think I won the challenge, can I get a gold agreement?”
“yes? uh, yes Just in case, they entrusted this to me before they entered the dungeon. Here, take it.”
“thank you.”
By obtaining the consent of the gold club from Instructor Nam, all the conditions demanded by Ji Soo-hyun were fulfilled.
“Instructor, I have fulfilled all the conditions you mentioned with this. May I ask for the next one?”
“Hey, you really are crazy. Hopefully, I didn’t know I’d really be able to do this.”
Ji Soo-hyun, who has accepted the consent forms that I have been given, waving the consent forms flutteringly and smiling brightly.
“Okay, you kept your promise, so should I keep it too? I’m coming to negotiate with the students from the student council, so eat lunch.”
Ji Soo-hyeon, holding the precious agreements and fanning it, leaves the room.
When I was looking at the back and was relieved that it was finally over—
──Woo-Woong ──Woo-Woong.
The cell phone in his pocket began to vibrate violently.
“… … This?”
【Hidden Quest Complete!】
[One-night club]
[You are the first in the history of the Academy to create a club in one day. This history will be recorded in the Academy forever.]
[Reward: Smart Lens]
“After all, is there a hidden quest in an event like this? By the way, smart lenses?”
At the same time, I began to feel a sharp pain, as if I had put cleaning solution in my eye.
I closed my eyes tightly and endured the pain for about 10 seconds.
When I thought that the pain in my cornea had subsided, I opened my eyes and a new landscape unfolded before my eyes.
【(NEW) MAIN STORY OPEN!】
[You who created a new wind in the academy! By creating a new club, you are writing a new history of your own! Lead your club successfully and get promoted to the silver club!]
[Achievement Condition: Complete 5 club quests!]
[Number of quests accomplished: 0 / 5]
[※Achievement reward may change depending on the result.]
“boss? it’s okay?”
“… … It doesn’t matter.”
As if in a VR game, the notification window, which could only be seen on a smartphone, was floating in the air in a translucent state.

Multiple interface windows and multiple numbers in one corner of the field of view.
Interfaces are perfectly reproduced as if a smartphone is floating in the air.
It was quite annoying because it felt like I was being treated strangely every time I looked at my phone in front of other people.
Above all, the most striking thing is that a new [Main Story] has been opened.
I was worried that the main story did not open after the uninhabited island, but luckily I seemed to be finding my way well.
“By the way, how do I turn this off?”
As I rolled my eyes and thought of turning off the screen of my smartphone, the windows in front of me disappeared.
Fortunately, it looks like I can turn it on and off at will. There seemed to be no need to worry about obstructing the view when fighting.
“This is really over! We can start a club now, right?”
Se-ah and Yeong-je, who had been watching the battle so far from the spectator’s seat, approach me.
“Yeah, the instructor said he would take care of the rest, so now we just have to wait.”
If you just look at the main quest window you just saw, the fact that the club was created was nothing more than a confirmed fact.
All that is left now is for Haru Lee to trample the ‘fund investment club’ in the club match.
The value of the ‘fund investment club’ as well as the reputation of the ‘fund investment club’ will fall due to this confrontation, so it wouldn’t be difficult if it was Lee Haru’s ability.
────♬
The academy’s bell rings to announce that the club tour is over and it’s time for lunch.
The sound, which was long if long and short if short, seemed to signal the end of the contest for consent.
