NOVEL NEXT Chapter 22
After a brief silence, Kang Sejun shook his head.
“I’m just saying. If that’s really the case, the president would’ve already known. Even though it may not be visible to her, the eyes of her contracted Entity are different.”
Was it possible to fool even the eyes of the highest Entity?
Do Junyoung was not very satisfied with those words, but he quickly agreed. Song Hanna obviously hadn’t said anything nor implied anything.
Nevertheless, Do Junyoung glanced around the office for a while. His gaze turned to Yoon Seora, who was working, but it was really fleeting.
“We don’t have much time left for the briefing. Let’s talk quickly.”
“All right.”
The two went straight to the point.
During the conversation, their gazes never once turned to Yoon Seora again.
***
It was that night that a new article was posted on the S-class community.
[Title: New guy, are you watching? Are you a ghost or not!?]
[Written by: Wish for permanent resignation]
“Oh, they finally noticed.”
A notification that Kang Sejun had newly joined the community popped up, so Seora was just wondering if everyone had realized by now. Seora clicked on the article with interest.
[I don’t know why you were so quiet when you came in, but I won’t argue about it! I thought my heart would drop when the number of people I thought was 11 suddenly turned out to be 13, but I won’t argue with that either!
But let me ask you one thing!
You’re not a ghost, are you? You’re really not, right…? You’re a living one, aren’t you…? It’s not like you become a ghost and sneak into the community…? And you’re not a g-g-g-ghost who hacked into the system, right…? S-S-Surely that’s impossible…?]
“…”
The curiosity was fleeting. Seora’s face quickly turned cold at the pathetic behavior of the Eternal Guild’s deputy leader.
It seemed that this person was always pouring cold water on her fantasies of S-class…
“Come to think of it, the first post I saw was also his wish to leave the guild. How can someone like this be under that calm guild leader?”
Seora felt very sorry for the guild leader Joo Eun. You poor thing.
[Comment]
|Sunset-ssi| : ??? What? What is this??? Seriously??? If the L-class is included, of course there should be 12, so why 13????? Huh????? Did a ghost really log in?????
|Yeonhee| : Oh, it seems that a new S-class has appeared. welcome ^^
└|Sunset-ssi| : Why are you so calm?????
└|Yeonhee| : I’m not calm. I’m sincerely welcoming ^^
└|Sunset-ssi| : That’s not what I mean!
|Han Suwon| : The people who always live in the community never realized? You guys don’t have a keen eye.
└|Sunset-ssi| : Why are you picking a fight again? You never realized either!
└|Han Suwon| : But I’m not one who goes in and out of the community every day like Sunset Guild’s leader.
└|Sunset-ssi| : Hey. Come out here.
└|Guardian Spirit Guild is the best| : Where are you going to meet? I need to go get some popcorn.
“Why are they fighting amongst themselves while talking about me…?”
The Han Suwon in Seora’s mind would’ve coldly ignored the quarrels that come when he noticed her existence, but it seemed not necessarily so. He was just reacting violently to Sunset Guild’s leader.
“Ah.”
Seora, who was reading all the comments, saw a post left by Joo Eun, the leader of Eternal Guild, and opened her eyes wide.
[Comment]
|Joo Eun| : New S-class. Are you the one who killed the Level 2 dungeon’s Boss Beast? If that’s true, I’d like to thank you. Thanks to you, the damage was not significant. If there’s a chance, I’d like to meet you in person someday.
Seora was moved by the sincere words.
The person who leads the No. 1 guild in Korea is so kind and polite. It’s so incomparable to the other guild leaders.
“I definitely prefer a soft and friendly face like Joo Eun rather than a sculpture-like Han Suwon or Kang Sejun.”
As long as he has good looks and a gentle personality, I don’t mind if he’s in his mid-30s…!
Unfortunately, Joo Eun has a daughter who will be entering elementary school this year. Ayy, what a shame.
[Administrator: (╬Ò‸Ó)]
“Now it’s no surprise that a message like this pops up.”
Seora stared blankly at the administrator with a very sulky face as if asking What’s the problem? Even a seven-year-old doesn’t get upset without a reason. What was the problem this time?
[Administrator: !!＼＼٩(`Д´)۶／／!!]
“It’s angry now. Why? What did I do wrong this time?”
[Administrator: 。゜゜(>⌓<)゜゜。]
“Why are you crying again all of a sudden?”
Pouting, getting angry, and then crying. What’s this? What is it about? Even when asked why, it doesn’t give an answer.
Indeed, the administrator’s mood is uncontrollable.
***
In a single day, Korea was overturned several times.
A Level 2 dungeon occurred, a Break suddenly occurred, an unknown person killed the Boss in one headshot, and it was done by the first L-class Awakened in Korea.
News of what happened, the Internet, and even the community dedicated to Awakened, were turned upside down dozens of times in just a few hours.
However, the biggest explosion occurred right after the association’s surprising briefing.
“Kang Sejun-ssi, the new L-class Awakened, has nothing to do with the Level 2 dungeon’s Boss. It is a fact that we also only learned this time, but a new S-class that has not been identified has appeared, and it is currently speculated that Awakened was the one who killed the Boss.”
[Administrator: (ﾉ*>∀<)ﾉ♡]
[A new article has been posted in the community.]
“Mm?”
Today, I will surely hand over the letter of resignation I have written.
As soon as Seora was about to leave for her last day of work, the administrator sent a message.
Even if a new post was posted on the community, this kind of notification shouldn’t have appeared. Looking at the emoticons, it seemed that the administrator had found something very interesting.
“… I’m nervous.”
[Title: Has anyone seen the video of the beast’s head exploded? What kind of headshot is that ;;]
There’s even a video? I thought all the cameramen ran away, but there was actually a madman who was filming in the middle.
[Have you seen this video? I’ll upload the address, so check it out before reading.
Woah, you can’t compare it to just looking at the pictures. That’s the level where its head just exploded;; What kind of headshot is that???
So, starting today, I’ll call the unknown classer ‘Headbang’. It’s almost like throwing a bomb. If you’ve seen the video, you’ll understand what I mean.
Crazy Bang-nim… Can I call you bro from today?]
“… What’s this?”
What? I beg your pardon? Headbang, you say?
“No, don’t do that! I hate such tacky nicknames! How could you give me such a strange nickname!”
But Seora was the only one who thought of it like that.
[Comment]
Wow;;; Wow this is really crazy;; Is it true that the head just explodes?;; The word headshot is not enough. From today, I will appoint you as Headbang;;
How can you just burst a head like that? Awesome;;;
the video is crazy. what is that? seriously
who took the video??? Is the person who took the video still alive?? Did you upload a video because you became a ghost?? Did you think everyone should see this even if you’re dead?
└ Are you crazy hahahahahha But I admit…
└ LOL Really, even if I die, I will get up again and upload it hahahahahahahaha
└ The guy who took the video will prosper from generation to generation. Thanks for taking a picture of this precious thing.
Look at how fast the video spreads; even overseas, there are a lot of people saying that there’s a headshooter in Korea. Hey, you guys. The name has been changed. From today on, that person is Headbang.
“No, no!”
Seora cried out, but no one heard it. Even the speed at which this article spread was really terrifyingly fast as the video. Oddly enough, the title of the video had already been changed to “Headbang”.
[Administrator: (☞ ˙∇˙)☞)))]
“Don’t laugh and do something about it. You can fix this!”
[Administrator: (ง ˙∇˙)ว]
“Ah, for real!”
Seora hung onto the system message.
What do you mean Headbang? I’m very unsatisfied.
“I will never reveal my identity. If I were to be called by a nickname like that, I’d be really embarrassed and I might bite my tongue and die. Ahhhhhh…”
Tears flowed down again.
The resignation letter, the resignation letter must be submitted. I don’t want to go through the dreadful thing of being found out to be Headbang in my workplace.
“It was unreasonable from the beginning. I need to leave the company quickly before it spreads to the office…”
With the resignation letter that was well kept in her arms, Seora headed to the subway station.
But maybe because she was too enamored with the shocking nickname of “Headbang”…
“I’ve heard of people hiding their abilities, but I’ve never heard of people hiding their merits.”
She didn’t even notice that someone was approaching her until she heard a low voice from behind.
Surprised, Seora jumped about two meters into the air.
“Ah! You surprised me!”
Seora looked back with a bewildered face and widened her eyes when she saw the person standing there.
“… L-class?”
Kang Sejun was so handsome that it was hard to see him clearly.
“It’s Kang Sejun. Don’t use ratings like people’s names.”
“Why are you speaking informally when it’s our first meeting?”
Seora was surprised for a while. She frowned at the rude behavior of the man who was not that much different from her in age.
“You speak informally, too.”
“Oh, right.”
However, at the answer that came back, Seora immediately removed the frown from her expression and became speechless. Well, that’s it then.
