Friday night.

After Kang Seo-yul left.

Yu Hwa and Shin Jia were having a conversation in the room where only two of them remained.

“We’ll take care of the media. Please handle the other details for Bihon.”

“Sure. That’s my specialty.”

They were planning to increase the benefits they would get from the Vegabond assassination case.

And the plan was roughly established.

“Is that it?”

“We can add more depending on the situation. That’s it.”

“…”

“…”

As soon as the business talk was over,

Silence naturally settled in.

Usually, they would have left the room without anyone saying anything first.

But today, both of them had something to say, and their lips were just twitching.

“This operation.”

The first one to bring up the topic was Yu Hwa.

“Did you agree to Seo-yul’s proposal right away, because he was the benefactor who took care of Piale Aro, who killed your mother?”

She was curious about why Shin Jia trusted Kang Seo-yul.

“Yes. That’s right.”

Shin Jia casually affirmed.

“…You pretended not to know last time. But now you admit it very coolly.”

“You wouldn’t believe me if I said no, would you?”

“Well.”

Yu Hwa shrugged at Shin Jia’s words.

“Then why did you believe what Seo-yul said?”

“I’ll just say that I received a lot of help from Seo-yul in various ways.”

“Oh. Was that the price of his help?”

“Yes.”

Yu Hwa smiled leisurely.

Shin Jia also smiled leisurely.

A moment of silence.

Shin Jia casually said.

“The doppleganger case.”

“…”

Yu Hwa’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

“And… Maybe things related to Secretary Kim Shin-woo.”

“!”

This time, Yu Hwa’s expression was clearly flustered.

It was a very brief moment, but Shin Jia didn’t miss that change.

“Those two cases, right? The ones you got help from Seo-yul.”

“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Shin Jia sipped her tea leisurely.

After receiving a message from Kang Seo-yul to keep an eye on Yu Hwa.

Shin Jia noticed that there was something between Yu Hwa and Kang Seo-yul. And she immediately started investigating.

But she couldn’t find any clues.

She quickly figured out that Kang Seo-yul and Yu Hwa were in frequent contact, but there was no trace of how they met.

Yu Hwa’s information concealment was perfect.

“What I’m going to say from now on is all hypothetical. There is no evidence.”

Therefore, all Shin Jia could do was guess.

An inference based on the relationship between the two and the known information.

“On the day of the doppelganger arrest, Seo-yul was also at the scene of the arrest.”

“…Is that so? I’ve never heard of it.”

“Yes. I’m the one who prepared the entrance ticket for the gambling house, so I know it well.”

That day.

The day the doppelganger was arrested.

Kang Seo-yul urgently asked her to prepare an entrance ticket for the gambling house.

And at that time and place, the doppelganger was arrested.

“Was that a coincidence?”

“That’s a really amazing coincidence.”

The two smiled at the same time.

It was a numb smile that completely hid their emotions.

“It’s amazing that you caught a doppelganger who couldn’t even find a clue after investigating in various countries by chance at a gambling house. It’s really a great luck.”

“Yes. I still think I was lucky.”

The atmosphere heated up.

“I don’t think so. The doppelganger was a meticulous villain. He didn’t leave any clues at all. It would have been impossible to arrest him and even get him to confess without any reliable information.”

Shin Jia’s eyes sparkled.

“…Are you saying that Seo-yul is the one who provided that information?”

“Yes. It was around that time that Seo-yul started interacting with Yu Hwa.”

If Shin Jia didn’t know how extraordinary Kang Seo-yul was, she wouldn’t have doubted it.

But Shin Jia knew better than anyone how amazing Kang Seo-yul was.

It wouldn’t be strange if Kang Seo-yul knew the information about the doppelganger that no one else in the world knew.

‘…My ancestor is the most perfect person in the world.’

A smile played on Shin Jia’s lips.

“Jia. You should be a writer. It was a pretty interesting hypothesis.”

Yu Hwa responded calmly, hiding her confusion as much as possible.

“I want to hear more. Then how do you connect the story of Mr. Shin-woo?”

“That’s really nothing.”

Shin Jia was somewhat confident about the hypothesis that Kang Seo-yul was involved in the doppelganger arrest.

It was something that could happen if you think about Kang Seo-yul’s extraordinariness.

But the murder of Kim Shin-woo was really just a guess.

No, it was a product of delusion, not an exaggeration.

“Yu Hwa is cold, suspicious, and calculative.”

“…Are you insulting me in front of me?”

“No. I’m complimenting you. You’re meticulous.”

It’s exhausting to deal with Yu Hwa every time.

“Such a meticulous Yu Hwa. There’s no way you would give unconditional trust to Seo-yul just for getting help with one doppelganger case. That’s what I thought. Then what was the reason for trusting Seo-yul?”

“…”

“Then I suddenly remembered the murder of Secretary Kim Shin-woo.”

When her thoughts reached that point, she naturally remembered the murder of Kim Shin-woo that happened within the Bihon Guild.

“A case that left a lot of questions because of the excessive media control. It was right after the doppelganger case, and it was the only case that matched the time when Seo-yul and Yu Hwa started interacting directly.”

Shin Jia’s eyes sharpened.

“So I made a hypothesis. There must have been a huge secret in that case. Yu Hwa owed Seo-yul a big debt because of that. That’s what I said.”

“…”

Yu Hwa’s expression was slightly blank.

It was too accurate to be a guess and a delusion, so she had nothing to say.

“When I thought about it, everything made sense. Why Yu Hwa trusted Seo-yul. The close relationship between the two. And even why Yu Hwa had some sense of Seo-yul’s hidden power.”

This was all a hypothesis based on Kang Seo-yul’s extraordinariness.

People who don’t know Kang Seo-yul well would never come up with such a hypothesis.

“How was it? My inference. Was it plausible?”

Shin Jia smiled triumphantly.

“Yes. It was quite interesting.”

“I’m glad.”

Yu Hwa’s expression was stiffer than usual, which meant that it was somewhat correct, even if not 100%.

‘At least the doppelganger seems to be certain.’

Shin Jia was sure of that.

“The talk got long.”

It was past midnight.

“Then I’ll go first. Yu Hwa, be careful on your way home.”

Shin Jia got up from her seat with a winning expression.

“I heard an interesting story, so I’ll tell you one too.”

Yu Hwa stopped Shin Jia.

“Piale Aro. The mortal enemy who killed your mother.”

“…”

Shin Jia’s expression hardened.

She looked at Yu Hwa as if to say why she brought up such a thing.

“He is a villain belonging to the Savior of Truth.”

Shin Jia’s eyes widened.

“You should know that too since he is your parents’ enemy.”

Yu Hwa’s eyes glowed coldly.

It was anger toward the Savior of Truth.

The organization that gave Yu Hwa a trauma called Kim Shin-woo.

“I’m saying that revenge is not over yet.”

The eyes of the two women sharpened.

Saturday.

In the morning, I finished a light demonstration of [Heaven’s Judgment] in my personal training room.

It was a tremendous lightning that lived up to the name of heaven’s judgment.

…Of course, as it was a great power, the magic consumption was also great,

I was exhausted after shooting one shot.

And now it’s lunchtime.

The item I’ve been waiting for has arrived.

“Are you Kang Seo-yul?”

The delivery man asked me.

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Please sign here.”

“Yes.”

I scribbled my name on the terminal that the delivery man handed me. And handed it back to him.

“Thank you.”

“Take care.”

I carried the huge box and headed to my room.

It’s damn heavy.

Thud-

“Ah.”

I safely entered the room and put the box in the center of the room.

“Meow!”

Geumho tapped the box with his front paws and flicked his tail.

It was a very cute gesture, but….

Bang! Bang!

The high-end packaging box, which looked quite sturdy, was becoming a mess.

It’s a bit scary to see that.

Even if it shrinks, it’s a tiger.

I smiled bitterly and hugged Geumho from behind, lifting him up on my lap.

“Stop. Don’t do that.”

Geumho quickly sulked at my scolding.

“It could be dangerous, so stay still. Okay?”

“Meow···.”

Geumho lay down next to me, curling up his body.

It was a signal that he would behave.

I stroked Geumho once and opened the box that was completely torn apart.

“…There’s nothing to open.”

I tore the box roughly and placed two carriers inside on the floor.

Needless to say, it was a carrier sent by the collector.

There is an ancient relic in each carrier.

“Hoo. This is the most exciting moment.”

Box opening ceremony.

What a thrilling word.

Click-

“Cool~ The sound is good.”

I opened both carriers.

“…Next.”

I executed and entered the carrier opening method and password 12 characters that the collector sent by Tok in order.

Chiiing-!

After about 30 seconds.

Both carriers started making mechanical noises.

The security was completely unlocked.

“Oh.”

There were a huge stone ring and a dagger of moderate size in each carrier.

“The ring of the giant tribe and the dagger of the beast tribe.”

They are named [Giant’s Strength] and [Promosium Dagger].

Promosium Dagger is a dagger that looks like it is alive and breathing in the wild. What kind of appearance would it have in the Stone Age?

Next, Giant’s Strength is….

“How can this be a ring?”

Isn’t it a hula hoop?

It seems thicker than my waist.

If this is a ring, how big are the giants?

The original said that the biggest giant had a height of over 30 meters. I can’t imagine it in numbers.

“Meow….”

Geumho looked at the dagger of the beast tribe with shining eyes.

As if he was not a guardian of the beast tribe.

“Play carefully.”

“Meow!”

At my words, Geumho ran like an arrow.

I didn’t need the dagger right away anyway, because I was going to keep it as insurance.

And not for insurance,

I turned my eyes to the item for immediate acquisition of racial traits.

“…Well. Let’s pray to the whole universe.”

I put the ring of the giant tribe.

[Giant’s Strength] in front of me and prayed.

Please give me an attribute correction trait!

“Good.”

There was no hesitation.

I reached out to the huge hula hoop (ring).

“Please give me a good trait!”

And shortly after.

“Kim Shin-re-lu.”

My prayer reached the universe.

Monday morning.

Today is the day the practical exam begins.

“What kind of exam is it?”

“I hope we don’t go to a deserted island or something.”

“Me too. I want to sleep comfortably.”

The exam content has not been announced yet. As it is the first exam of the notorious Korean Superhuman Academy, everyone seems to be nervous.

“Seo-yul, you don’t seem nervous, do you?”

Ha Si-yeon, who also had a strangely stiff face, asked me.

“Not really?”

I know all the exam content, so what’s there to be nervous about?

“Really? …Is your heart different from ours?”

Ha Si-yeon absent-mindedly put his hand on my chest and muttered.

Maybe she meant that the hearts of angels and humans are different.

But she seems to have forgotten that this is a classroom.

“What? Are you two dating?”

“Is it day one today?”

“Did Shin Jia get dumped?”

I rubbed my forehead.

I gave a pretext to the 20-year-old lynxes who were interested in romance. At times like this, I just have to stay calm.

“No, no! It’s just that Seo-yul said he wasn’t nervous. That’s…”

Ha Si-yeon, who has a personality that is perfect for being teased, couldn’t help but react.

“No way. Your face is red, so you’re dating.”

“You’re more suspicious when you’re flustered.”

Is it because it’s before the exam?

Everyone is tense.

They seem to be more relaxed by teasing Ha Si-yeon.

“Two attribute magic holders stuck together~ Isn’t this it?”

“Uh. That’s not it.”

Well, judging by their expressions, they don’t really think Ha Si-yeon and I are dating, so I guess I can just leave them alone.

It’s also time for the instructor to come in soon.

“Everyone sit down.”

Just then, Instructor Pi Jin Ho came in.

“I will announce the practical exam for this year.”

At that moment, the playful atmosphere disappeared and was filled with tension again.

“This year’s practical exam is a virtual labyrinth raid that lasts for 4 nights and 5 days.”

“…Labyrinth raid?”

“It’s more normal than I thought.”

Sighs of relief came from all around. They must have been relieved.

“And starting with you this year, there is a superhuman who cooperated in building an educational labyrinth that will be used by all academies around the world.”

“Oh.”

“No way.”

The instructor smiled.

An uneasy smile.

It was a terrible smile that was called Jin Ho’s Devil Smile among the cadets.

“World ranking 32nd. Dungeon Creator Maiden.”

“…Ah.”

“Oh my.”

At that moment, sighs of despair mixed with despair rang out around me.

“I have to call home. Forgive me for going first.”

“…I have to write a will too.”

“Me. I’m going to confess when this exam is over.”

“Hey you crazy bastards.”

It was enough for jokes that were not jokes to pop out.

I understand.

World ranking 32nd superhuman dungeon creator ‘Maiden’

She is the only superhuman in the world who has a unique talent for making dungeons. The dungeons she created contribute greatly to the growth of superhumans.

…But.

She has a bit of a strange personality.

To put it bluntly, she is a sadist who feels ecstasy from tormenting others.

She likes it so much that people writhe in pain and despair in her dungeons.

Anyway, the labyrinths born under her skills are all given this evaluation.

‘This is not a labyrinth for humans to break.’

No matter how educational it is, it’s a nightmare to enter a labyrinth made by such the notorious superhuman.

“Don’t worry. You won’t die.”

“…Ah.”

“We’re screwed.”

It was natural for everyone to despair.

“Hehe.”

Of course, not me.

“Then let’s move outside.”

…Ah. I’m looking forward to it.
