Ten minutes ago.

Secretary Park Min-hyuk was rescued.

Now, Oh Baek-seo only had to carry out his mission.

Baek Seo used the umbrella that Ahn Woo-jin had given him and quietly looked up at the sky.

Just tapping the handle of the umbrella with my finger.

“… … .”

Woojin ordered the executives to follow his instructions without asking any questions.

White Paper was in charge of suppressing Anomia’s top executives and organization leaders, but he did not know how Woojin figured out their locations.

That’s something you can ask later. For now, I was just following instructions.

It wasn’t just because of affection.

The white paper distinguished between public and private matters.

Woojin is someone worth following.

So I just follow.

There was no other reason.

However, apart from that, I was worried about Woojin.

Anomia is a group of villains who are gaining widespread notoriety.

We also hire dropouts with outstanding talent as executives.

It was easy to predict that Woojin would soon be fighting a dangerous enemy.

So now that Woojin and the secretary have joined, Baekseo wanted to quickly finish his mission and meet Woojin.

Because I feel safe having him by my side.

Again and again.

Suddenly, a man dressed in a Barbary coat entered White Paper’s path.

He stopped and glared at the white paper.

“Ah. Are you here?”

The white paper that caught his eye asked in a friendly tone.

It was easy to guess that that man was ‘AQ’, the top executive of Anomia that Woojin had talked about.

The magical power he poured out while maintaining a state of alert was comparable to that of the leader of Maheon High School.

“Leading department… . How did you know we were here?”

AQ asked in an aggressive tone.

“We just follow the manager’s instructions.”

Although White Paper spoke in his usual friendly tone, his eyes were not smiling at all.

The weather was bad today.

A colleague from the leadership team was dragged away and experienced something unpleasant, and Woojin was lured away. It seems that the leadership team seemed easygoing.

Even the time I walked with Woojin under an umbrella was cut off because of them. I was in a position where I couldn’t express my regrets anymore.

Fortunately, there was a clear direction for his anger.

“I see… .”

AQ narrowed his eyes and chuckled.

There was no need to ask how the white paper got here.

I have already heard about the leader of Aseong High School.

Woojin’s intelligence is at a level that even the expression “high level” is not enough.

Even AQ, who only pursued fighting, had pure respect for his enemy Woojin’s abilities.

It is assumed that Woojin already knows all the important information about Anomia.

Therefore, there was no need to ask why Oh Baek-seo knew the captain’s location and was waiting here.

Because they are all Woojin’s works.

“Five hundred papers. I wanted to hang out with you once.”

AQ stretched his arms out to the sides.

Sreung! A long blade hidden in the sleeve of his clothes stuck out. The sharp blade caught the rainwater and sparkled.

“Neo With four guys who are called geniuses in Seoul… !”

AQ is a man who only pursues battle.

He called himself a demon.

He is Anomia’s greatest power.

He was a strong player who stood out in Neo Seoul.

No matter how many times we fight, we are undefeated.

With his fighting ability, there was nothing to be afraid of, even if he was a 6th rank Five Hundred Servants.

I will overcome it easily.

Whiuuu!

Powerful wind elemental magic was wrapped around AQ’s blade.

“Come on, Five Hundredseo! Proving that I, the evil spirit of Neo Seoul, am stronger than you… !”

10 seconds later.

“Keueook… .”

The self-proclaimed demon was rolling around on the floor covered in wounds.

All he can spit out is a miserable sigh.

Even he couldn’t shed it properly.

White Paper, holding the sword in his hand, threw away the binding magic tool. Crap! Several hard belts instantly protruded from the magic tool and restrained AQ.

Afterwards, White Paper moved towards the high-rise building where AQ appeared.

Upon entering the lobby, White Paper was greeted by combat drones, turrets, and Anomia’s highest level troops. They all took up a fighting stance.

However, when the beautiful magical power mixed with blue and purple flows gently like the wings of a butterfly.

All the battle robots were split in half, and Anomia’s troops fell screaming.

It wasn’t even elemental magic.

It wasn’t even a unique ability.

With just the basic abilities of ‘body strengthening’ and ‘equipment strengthening’ that the 3rd rank can use, White Paper was able to clear the battlefield with a flash of sword strike.

“Five hundred papers… !”

We reached the top floor office, a secret passage.

Anomia’s captain, who had been briefed on the situation in advance, hid himself and then carried out a surprise attack. However, the white paper easily deflected the attack and subdued him with its sheath.

puck! Pow!

“Gasp!”

It wasn’t a win at all.

“How on earth… ? How did you know I was here… ?”

The captain asked with a frightened look on his face.

White Paper shrugged his shoulders.

“Our manager is quite capable. Looks like you had everything prepared?”

Above those who run, there are those who fly.

If I don’t raise my head, I don’t even notice that it’s there.

The captain gritted his teeth, trembled, and finally gave up.

He was overly arrogant.

Haven’t hints been revealed one after another, albeit kindly, that Ahn Woo-jin, the leader of the leadership team, is someone who should not be messed with right now?

Even the genius in front of me, who easily defeated even AQ, didn’t just bow his head to Ahn Woo-jin and go in.

Thinking that Ahn Woo-jin knew all the plans, I became impatient with the fear that the organization would eventually be destroyed by him.

I was confident that I could beat him.

That was a defeat.

Two chances were not given.

Wow!

“Gasp!”

White Paper struck the captain with the sheath of his sword and knocked him out.

And spoke into the earphones.

“This situation is also over. Director, … I’ll go see it quickly.”

Although the mission White Paper performed was of the highest difficulty, it was not the least bit arduous for her.

After that, Oh Baek-seo left the scene to the 2nd and 3rd platoons and headed to Gray Star.

When Baek Seo met Woo Jin, he showed no particular reaction.

However, Baek Seo did not leave Woo Jin’s side while he commanded the scene until late at night.

… …

A hectic few days passed while the incident was being resolved.

[Aseong High School leader, Anomia leader and all executives arrested… ‘Great performance’ ]

[A 4th-level person who single-handedly killed two 5th-level criminals… who is he? ]

[Aseong High School’s leader, anomia was destroyed from the beginning of his term… ]

News of Anomia’s capture spread widely on the Internet news.

but.

‘How come I’m in the spotlight and not the leader… .’

Internet news was focusing on the ‘leader’ of Aseong High School, not the ‘leader’.

It was natural.

It was because of Jisu Lee’s G-Tube broadcast.

In the viewer’s view, this incident was more provocative than Shindorim Sword Master’s sparring application.

‘I didn’t know it would turn out like this at first… .’

This was unexpected because Jisoo Lee never broadcasts live in games.

I grabbed my throbbing head.

This was difficult.

‘There are many challengers in Neo Seoul who are unnecessarily targeting the strong… . At this rate, you could become the target of the six criminals… .’

What should I do… .

Even Sindorim Sword Master was okay. This guy was a 4th level person, so a sparring between 4th level people would amount to nothing more than a simple incident.

But in this case it wasn’t good.

This is a case where the 4th rank defeated two people who were infamous among the 5th rank.

At best, we had dealt with the disruptor called Anomia, but there was concern that more disruptors would spring up all over the place.

The worst case scenario is when the six criminals target me.

In particular, if Goliath, the six sinners whose true intentions are unknown, comes to me even now, that day will be the end for me.

He chases power. I shouldn’t have made him think that he wanted to use me as prey.

Therefore, it was better to focus on the performance of the team under the expression ‘leading team’.

This means that articles such as ‘How a 4th-ranked player defeated two 5th-ranked powerhouses’ or ‘How much potential does Asung High School’s leader have?’ should be avoided as much as possible.

‘The press conference was useless… .’

The incident became so famous that our leaders had to reveal the circumstances of the incident at a press conference.

Jisu Lee’s G-Tube broadcast was also like that, and it seemed to have received quite a lot of attention because it was an incident that wiped out Anomia itself. Details were kept confidential, saying the investigation was ongoing.

Naturally, there were reporters who asked questions about my victory over two top 5 players, and I answered by praising Yudoha’s performance.

However, all the articles posted on the Internet only greatly emphasized my performance. A large part of the credit was due to the G-Tube broadcast that viewers could see directly.

I once again realize that people only hear what they want to hear.

‘Oh, please just pass by…’ .’

I hope that the eccentric challengers who challenge the strong, and the six criminals, will get through safely… .

Because I’m scared… .

‘… By the way, now Anomia is definitely defeated.’

Leadership executive office.

I straightened my posture and thought while reading the Anomia report.

Now Anomia will be destroyed.

There was no way the organization could be maintained properly when the head and the executives who replaced him were all captured.

No, it would be more correct to say that it has already been destroyed.

How was it in the game?

Anomia fled after being defeated by the original protagonist and his party and his power weakened.

Then, the organization collapsed for unknown reasons.

Just like the Mafia Dohwa faction, the organization that Se-ah Lee belongs to.

Was there an internal division as his strength weakened, or was he preyed upon by another group of villains while he was weakened? .

‘I’m worried now that this day has come. ‘Why did they fail in the game?’

I once again became curious about the reason.

The same goes for Lee Se-ah, who will become a big name in the black market.

Why did she die and why was the mafia wiped out?

I had put aside questions and parts that I had been curious about for a long time.

There is no way I would know now that the exact reason was not revealed in the game.

If the six criminals are not involved in the background, there is no reason for me to care.

the problem is.

‘If six criminals are involved… .’

What if the collapse of Anomia and the Mafia in the game had something to do with the Six Sinners?

There was something that was presumed to be a link.

He is a sponsor who provided a large amount of money to Anomia.

The community estimated him to be one of the six criminals. In other words, if we dig into this case, we might be able to find clues about the six criminals.

Tracking down the six criminals was an important problem.

Rather than reacting when they cause an incident, it is much better for us to surprise them first.

‘How can I be so bad… .’

Is it because game knowledge is connected?

I still didn’t know anything, and I had an ominous feeling that a big incident would be connected.

… I didn’t even want to think about that.

‘It’s not something to judge yet.’

In any case, it was a matter to consider after identifying the sponsors.

I can only hope that this premonition is in vain.

‘That too.’

I moved my gaze towards the table.

Park Min-hyuk, a clerk, was there, working tirelessly, tapping away at his laptop keyboard.

Minhyuk was in charge of writing all the press conference announcements regarding the Anomia incident, reports sent to the police academy regarding jurisdictional issues, incident details, case files, etc., and was concentrating on his work without a break.

I remember the time when we were cleaning up the scene at Gray Star.

Minhyuk shed tears and expressed his gratitude profusely. “You had a hard time.” I remember saying a word, patting my shoulder without saying a word, and seeing his eyes sparkle as he passed by.

After that, things went crazy.

Minhyuk remembers being beaten by a group of people. Because of that, I was concerned that this incident might have caused some trauma, but right away he didn’t seem like a person suffering from trauma.

However, another problem arose.

“Minhyuk jjing… , take it easy. And then you’ll collapse?”

Ha Yesong, who was sitting across from Minhyuk, spoke cautiously. It seemed like she said these words after much thought.

Minhyuk shook his head resolutely.

“This is the only way I can repay my heavenly manager.”

“Sky… . Yeah, well, living faithfully like that is better than being stuck in the trash like usual… .”

Yesong turned his eyes towards me. It looks like he couldn’t stand Minhyuk’s praise and decided to stop the conversation.

Yesong asked me with his eyes. ‘Can I leave him like this?’

I answered by nodding my head.

I really don’t like praising myself, but I guess it’s better to leave it at that.

It’s good that my members have deep loyalty to me.

Yesong let out an odd breathing sound, saying “huh.”. She left the club early.

… …

In the evening, for the first time in a long time, sunset colors decorated the sky. This is because the rainy season is over.

I sipped green tea while reading the case report. This was unrelated to the Anomia incident.

‘Now I have to prepare for the midterm exam.’

The leadership team takes on the role of supervisor whenever there is a test or large-scale practical evaluation. This is because the number of teachers that adults can take on is extremely limited.

The supervisor’s case had already been reviewed, and the preparation process was in its final stages.

However, apart from that, I also had to study for my personal midterm exams.

I was prepared for work to be busy, but I never thought it would be this much… . I was glad that I had thoroughly studied in advance during the vacation.

“Manager.”

White Paper called me from the table.

“Do you want to eat this? I brought snacks.”

White paper holding a case and talking.

It was a case with a picture of a cookie engraved on it.

Sweets.

I think it would be nice to take a breather for a moment.

“I guess so.”

As I sat down across from White Paper, the black tea in front of me caught my eye.

“You made black tea?”

“The manager said he wanted to eat cookies. I rode it both ways.”

The white paper answered in a noble tone.

The vice president knows me very well.

When we spend time together, it feels like having a girlfriend of more than 5 years by our side.

I don’t know exactly what it felt like, but it seemed like it could be compared.

“I will eat well.”

I opened the case lid, picked up the snack, and ate it.

It was a sweet cookie with nothing special.

It’s delicious.

“Did you see the email?”

The white paper raised the topic.

“Mail? Not yet.”

“I heard the manager will give you a reward for catching anomia. ‘Platinum mileage’.”

“… … !”

crazy.

‘Oh… !’

Amazing, Great.

I’ve been so wrapped up in work that I haven’t been able to pay attention.

Mileage.

It is an award given when honorable performance has been performed and the name of the academy has been raised.

The academy makes a proposal to the federal board, and if it is accepted and says, ‘This guy deserves mileage,’ mileage is granted. Or the Federal Council directly appoints it.

Mileage levels consist of bronze, silver, gold, and platinum.

Among them, platinum is the highest level.

It was one of the highest awards given to someone who had made a significant contribution that benefited the entire Academy City.

If you have platinum mileage, you can use the platinum store or forge your own weapon from a platinum level blacksmith.

“It’s okay.”

I refrained from raising the corners of my mouth and answered calmly.

‘Big.’

What would you do if you received platinum mileage?

The answer was already decided.

‘Forge weapons! Finally, I can make my own weapon… !’

I clenched my fists and internally danced with joy.

I’m so touched… !

Every man wants to have his own special weapon.

From the moment I realized that I had been reincarnated in this world, I naturally had that kind of dream.

The weapon I mainly use, the triple baton, is ordinary equipment.

So I wanted to get a new weapon in the triple rod series. This was because the three-stage baton was already in hand, and it was excellent for suppression purposes.

It can be forged by a platinum level blacksmith… !

I felt like I wanted to moonwalk in front of the white paper and jump out the window and cheer.

“You look in a good mood?”

“… Not bad. Because it’s platinum mileage.”

White Paper grinned and pierced his thoughts.

No matter how happy I am, it cannot harm my image. Fortunately, he kept his expression and chewed the cookie.

“Manager.”

“Why?”

“I also want to receive an award. Why don’t you give me a reward for doing a good job?”

“… Me?”

White Paper nodded.

It was an unexpected request.

Suddenly a prize?

“I think I have every right to receive the award.”

“That’s… , I think so too. So, um… .”

It’s a prize.

If there had been no white paper in the first place, Anomia could not have been completely eradicated. It was only fitting to give something to her for her performance.

Divide platinum mileage in half… It is impossible.

If it could be passed on to someone other than the owner, the potential for abuse would be too great, so the system was designed to make gifting impossible. Similar actions were also illegal.

‘What reward should I give… ?’

It’s an award that makes sense… .

Nothing came to mind at all.

However, I can’t give you the most expensive wall axle pole among my possessions… .

It was a time when I was thinking so much.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, the white paper leaned his upper body towards me and took my right arm.

Just pat it… , he stroked his head with my hand.

“?”

What are you doing… ?

Somehow, the white paper closed its eyes and enjoyed my touch.

Halfway through, the white paper let go of my arm. I continued stroking her soft hair as the white paper waved my arm.

A silence came, and a strange feeling of shame came over me. Meanwhile, my mind was in confusion.

“Is it a white paper?”

“Don’t think it’s difficult. Something like this will do.”

The white paper gently opened his eyes and looked intently into my eyes.

“I didn’t expect this.”

“There are times when I want to act foolish too. I’m the manager’s subordinate, right? I also feel better when I receive pats from my superiors.”

I’m not ashamed to say so myself… ?

“… … .”

I can’t bear to ask that.

A blush appeared on the face of the white paper illuminated by the glow of the sunset. Perhaps she was in a good mood, but felt embarrassed inside.

‘It’s so cute… .’

I realize every time why White Paper is called a goddess, but this moment was the worst.

What a pretty girl.

He also had a very cute side.

Before I knew it, I also began to enjoy stroking the white paper’s head. It feels like petting a cute puppy. I felt satisfied.

“… … .”

“… … .”

I was spending time quietly like that.

I realized one thing.

If you think about it rationally, isn’t this a very embarrassing situation? ?

“Shall we stop now?”

White Paper asked with a kind smile.

Although I was embarrassed, I automatically shook my head from side to side.

“Can I do more… ?”

“?”

The white paper stared at me with its big eyes wide open.

Even though it was embarrassing, I didn’t want to just ignore it.

I am always grateful to White Paper.

If he could satisfy Baekseo by just stroking his head, he would continue to do so in the future. I can also risk heart pounding and shame.

The white paper looked worried for a moment in response to my serious question, then smiled happily and said.

“… Good.”

The white paper leaned his upper body a little closer to me. I was startled when the pretty face came closer, but I continued stroking it. She enjoyed my touch like a puppy.

It was usually difficult to read the emotions that the white paper was feeling, but today, the feelings seemed to be conveyed.

If the white paper had a tail, it would probably be lifted up and gently swaying right now.

A thought like that suddenly occurred to me.

‘That’s cute.’

I was satisfied just by imagining it.
