Lee Cheol-min, who had set up a tent near the scene of the incident, was watching the fight clearly.

“There are a lot of problems with this. Is it fusion with monster cells? They are clearly using people to create confusion.”

The committee was also busy with the enemy’s new tactics.

There has been a remarkable change in the monsters’ movements.

Next to him, a secretary in a suit skirt taps on a tablet.

“Until then, he didn’t seem to have much interest in people, but recently he’s been confusing a few people.”

“What is the enemy’s means of transportation?”

“When you see people who have fainted, they say that even if you lock the door or close the window, they will still faint before you know it. And everyone says that their emotions have become empty.”

Lee Cheol-min’s eyes become sharp at this point.

“Emotions?”

“Yes. It’s not absolute yet, but one gamer said he didn’t feel anything when he got knocked out and lost an important promotion match.”

“Oh? That’s strange. It’s like my emotions were sucked out.”

“This is my personal opinion, but there have been recent cases of monsters being strengthened or revived with black energy. This… .”

The voice of this glasses-wearing secretary trembles slightly.

Lee Cheol-min pulls Secretary Lee by the waist and makes her touch his chest.

“You could say that it sucks up people’s emotions and energy and dumps them on the monster. In short, the enemy is mining resources from a gold mine. To stop this, we need to find out the culprit quickly, right?”

“Yes… . yes… .”

The secretary blushes and doesn’t know what to do. Lee Cheol-min smiles and approaches his secretary.

“It is impossible to monitor the entire population. The method is different from the Mud Franken I fought before. There’s a new enemy. What we have to do now is track down the mysterious entity that is doing this.”

Is “ possible?”

“That’s what we’re going to do from now on. Unconditionally.”

It was when Lee Cheol-min was about to kiss his secretary.

Suddenly, there was a ‘knocking sound from inside.’

Not outside, inside. Lee Cheol-min just turns his head while holding his secretary.

I had no recollection of the tent’s entrance being open, but there was a large figure with a bear-like appearance standing there.

“This is true. The strongest awakened person in Korea is making love next to a monster. Jetman must be sad.”

“It’s been a while since I saw you too. Hyunsoo Seong. I heard your partners had a fight?”

“Haha, it’s almost solved. It was my third wife by mutual agreement. Of course, there are a lot of things to worry about when there are multiple women.”

“Even if you date multiple women, you have to be sure about each one to avoid any problems. ”

“I can’t beat you in that regard. So now, what should I do about that situation?”

“Yes. Is it possible with your skills?”

“It’s my first time doing this, but is it possible? You’re still making unreasonable demands.”

Seong Hyun-soo chuckles and opens the door.

“First of all, Jetman has no other means in that situation. I have to go quickly and help.”

“Unlike dental surgery, careful surgery is possible.”

“Don’t have any expectations. Because it’s burdensome.”

That’s how Seong Hyun-soo left.

Lee Cheol-min now looked at the troubled Jetman holding his severed head.

“Is this your first time in a situation like this? Jetman? Fighting alone will become increasingly difficult. I wish you could give me strength by revealing my identity.”

Lee Cheol-min literally kissed his secretary.

There was less than 3 minutes left for Shin Jeul’s transformation, but there was nothing to do now.

He was useful for defeating monsters, and this was the first time I had ever encountered a case like this.

“Mister Light. Is there any solution to this?”

[The monster is defeated, but recovering is difficult now. Leave this matter to the same people.]

“A person? Hmm?”

While Shin Je-ul was expressing his doubts, the AI suddenly showed a man rapidly approaching.

As soon as I saw that bear-like body, I knew who it was.

“You’re Seong Hyeonsu from the Biryu guild, right?”

The head of a famous awakened guild has appeared. This bear-like-sized man was suddenly standing on Ultria’s wrist.

[hey! Jetman! Will you leave this to us?]

Seong Hyun-soo shouts to him.

‘To this person?’

[If it were me, I could ‘penetrate’ and remove it! Jetman, how are you?]

Yes. Seong Hyun-soo is a man whose strength lies in meticulous control despite his size.

He is trying to overcome this situation with his ability, penetration.

Shin Jeul also made a quick choice.

‘It’s too much for me right now.’

Shin Jeul had no choice but to leave this processing to someone else.

He slowly puts the head down on the floor and moves with the pillar of light, leaving it to Hyunsoo Seong.

“Phew.”

It was uncomfortable, but this is the best. I return to the club room with an expression that says I’ve endured ten years.

A happy voice is heard towards him, covered in sweat. Deok-Hoon Ahn and April approached him.

“Good job. Now take a break.”

“If you add just a little more, won’t the Incheon area just be destroyed? A very deep cavity has formed.”

“There’s nothing you can do. Even if you minimize the damage, defeating the monster is important.”

April massages Shin Jeul’s neck.

“Don’t worry. Your goal is to kill monsters.”

“We will also save people.”

“Find within your capabilities. You shouldn’t spread the truth or endanger yourself because of it.”

April gave advice coldly, but Shin Jeul touched April’s cheek.

“But that’s why I fight like this. There is no me without people.”

“Anyway, I’m having a hard time buying it. So, I like it.”

April laughs brightly. Between these two, Deok-Hoon Ahn stood ambiguously.

“That… . Jeulth. How many monster points did you get?”

“Oh, that’s right. But I haven’t heard anything about it coming in.”

This time, even though the monster was dealt with, it did not come in.

The site screen is visible on the club room computer.

Now, Seong Hyun-soo was starting surgery(?).

They had begun to remove the temporary child that had fused with the cells in the monster’s head.

His hand miraculously pierced Im Si-ah’s body and began to surround the cells with ether and take them out.

It may seem easy, but it was all about using Seong Hyun-soo’s abilities to their full potential.

It took a lot of effort for him to pass through the body like that and only allow foreign substances to pass through separately.

In the end, Seong Hyun-soo succeeded in rescuing Im Si-ah.

“I covet that ability?”

Shin Jeul applauds and is happy.

Only in this way are monster points awarded in front of Shin Jeul.

-Monster Points 4,000

“Now, every time I catch one, I get a lot.”

“But the update ends on July 7th anyway. I guess I’ll have to spend a lot then?”

“Today is July 1st, so there isn’t much time left. I hope there are a lot of fun things to do.”

It’s the same anticipation that arises every time the Windows version changes.

When the Academy computer is updated, new features and upgrades will be added.

“Phew.”

Shin Je-ul sighed as he watched Im Si-ah being rescued.

But at this time, April suddenly screamed.

“Ah!”

“What’s wrong?”

“We… . That dinosaur. Wasn’t it okay to send them out?”

“Huh?”

Shin Je-ul is surprised and Ahn Deok-hoon quickly checks.

“Ms. April. It will be completed tomorrow.”

“What, it’s a shame.”

It was a time when April felt regretful.

A message was sent from Academy Computer.

[You did a good job while the enemy became increasingly evil. As the enemy becomes more cunning, we will have to discuss more. Shin Jeul, you should go home and rest.]

“What? You said it was about the future?”

[This is something that two other people need to hear besides you.]

“Can’t I listen too?”

[Yes. Because the two of them have their own work to do. It is advantageous when fighting to have a secret that not even allies know about.]

When Uncle Light says something like that, what can Shin Jeul say?

I just had no choice but to come out.

‘Anyway, I’m helpless if I don’t transform. I guess… . No, then what is Deokhoon?’

I can’t even guess what he’s trying to say.

But Shin Jeul didn’t care any more.

‘Rather, it might be better if I didn’t know. ‘I should just rest.’

Rather than that, we now had to face a new sub-scenario.

I don’t know the standard for creating sub-scenarios, but they don’t ask you to do dozens of them at once.

‘Because there is a limit to what a person can handle.’

Shin Jeul was in the process of checking to see if any sub-scenarios had been added.

It was time to check the sub-scenario again.

A call comes to his cell phone.

“Is it April?”

But the target was not the person he thought.

That’s Lasia.

Lasia, who usually doesn’t call first, called him.

-Jeul Shin. How do you feel? I didn’t see you at the hospital?

“I think I’m lucky. I’m fine.”

-That’s a good thing.

“And what about you, Sia? Are your eyes okay?”

-Thanks to you, I’m still wearing a bandage, but the wound is shallow so I’ll recover quickly.

Shin Je-ul breathes a sigh of relief that Lasia is safe.

At this time, Lasia makes a strange noise.

-Do you like it that much?

“I told you before. If anything goes wrong… .”

-okay? Is that so?

The ending of Lasia’s words feels strangely enjoyable.

-I want to repay you for helping me this time.

“Really? Then, do you want to meet me when you recover?”

-That’s not bad, April helped too. I have to repay him too. Since you are my boyfriend anyway, will you let me know what you want?

“It’s that simple. Can I ask April?”

Shin Jeul suddenly felt excited about this situation, but it was a strange feeling.

“Wait a minute, then can we meet too?”

-Isn’t that what you want? I do not care.

“I like it, though. Are you okay?”

-That’s it. See you tomorrow.

That’s how Lasia’s phone call ended.

“What’s going on?”

Lasia felt much softer. Normally, people become closer after going through a crisis like this.

Shin Jeul also knows that much, so he thinks it is a positive change.

‘Good.’ If it continues like this, it won’t be bad.’

His love plans were going well too. Of course, Lasia’s change in attitude is significantly different from before.

It started the next day, Thursday, July 2nd.

Lasia greets Shin Jeul with a shallow smile.

“I was thankful for yesterday.”

“Are you done already?”

“Because there are many people with good skills. Even though some of my attendants were injured, no one died. I’m so glad.”

Lasia, contrary to her previous cold image, told him her story.

Even though she usually rarely talks about herself at school.

That wasn’t all.

As always, April came over and did some teabagging, but it was different than usual.

April leans her upper body on Shin Jeul’s head and looks at Lasia.

“Shin Jeul. Do you want to go to the beach in the summer? It may cost a bit of money, but you should make proper memories in the summer, right? Because we are lovers.”

“I can lend it to you.”

In a situation where she would normally just stare at her silently, Lasia suddenly made a counter-proposal and caught April off guard.

“To the beach where we can play on our own, with no other people around.”

“Huh… . I don’t need it?”

April gets angry, but ignores it and grabs Shin Jeul’s shoulder.

As April’s pupils grow bigger, Lasia asks.

“What about you, Jeul? When it comes to the beach, isn’t it easier to have fun when there’s no one around?”

“That’s right.”

“It’s not good to be too influenced by your girlfriend. If you’re going to do it, you have to do it for sure so you don’t have to fight ‘later’.”

“What?”

April opens her mouth in surprise at these words.

“You, what does that mean?”

“That’s exactly what it says, but why?”

Lasia began to react by looking straight ahead, unlike before.
