“What are you doing, you fucking bitch! You try to kill someone and then you talk like that!”

“… I’m sorry for making threats. But first of all, I never shot with the intention of taking my life. Please understand.”

“What the fuck is this? That’s what you’re saying! What on earth is it with juniors these days that they treat their seniors so strangely!!”

Kim Ji-won, who felt that her life was in danger, finally revealed her true colors. He seemed to have a temperament, but I think he needs to do this to reveal his true nature.

I pulled Kim Ji-won into my arms just in case, but there was no need to do that. The place where the arrow was stuck was approximately 30 centimeters away from her feet.

“Looking at your outfit, it looks like you are part of a cheering squad. How old are you? I know that I am a senior who shows up during joint cheering matches and festivals, and that’s what I am doing now!”

“… I know that Kim Ji-won is a proud and famous actor in our club. However, we are still in a situation where it is difficult for anyone to believe. I have no intention of making you understand. sorry. Please just turn around. I swear I will never do anything.”

“What if you already almost killed someone! Hey you murderous bastard, you guys just stay there. I’m going to bring people in right now and blow your heads off!!”

I was a little surprised by her choice of words, which were a lot older than I thought, but I couldn’t afford to be like this right now.

I hid Kim Ji-won behind my back for a while and stepped forward.

“I completely understand your intention, Nahee Choi. Can you at least listen to the story first?”

“… I guess words won’t work.”

Since he took a stance as if he was about to fire a threatening shot once more, I said my business first, without any hesitation.

“We are the people who came to pick up Na-hee at the request of Choi Na-hee’s parents, Choi Min-soo and Kim Ga-ryeong. Here, the photo is the proof.”

I took the photo out of my arms and held it up so she could see it clearly.

The moment she saw the photo, her eyes wavered. It seemed like they were ready to listen to our story.

“…That’s the photo your parents always carry with you. But I’m sorry. I can’t trust you easily… ”

“And Mr. Ga-ryeong Kim told me to convey this message as well. When I was in my first year of middle school, I watched a horror movie and got scared, so… ”

“Stop it! Wait! Oh, I understand, so come closer with both hands raised to this side. If you do something stupid, you will never stay still… !”

Choi Na-hee, whose face turned red from embarrassment, quickly stopped me. It seems that there is a reason why Kim Ga-ryeong said this.

Well, it’s good anyway. As long as the results are good.

As she instructed, I put both hands above my head and began to tell her what had happened.

* * *

“…It was something like that. Thank you so much for saving my parents. that… Your name is… ”

“This is Park Hyun-seong. And the people next to you… Well, if you know Kim Ji-won, you would recognize him, right?”

“It’s hard to call yourself a citizen of the Republic of Korea if you don’t recognize actress Han Se-ra and senior Kim Ji-won. I’m really sorry for being rude, you two.”

“…It’s okay. I’m sorry for getting too excited and yelling random words earlier, junior.”

“……”

Choi Na-hee, who heard our story, lowered her bow and arrow, bowed her head, and apologized. Certainly, just like before and with their attitude now, it doesn’t seem like they were aiming for our lives or anything like that.

What can I say, it feels like a hedgehog with sharp blades? It’s close to there.

“But what happened? Even though we were armed, I think our response was a bit excessive.”

“…I’m sorry, Sera Han. But there’s a reason… ”

Choi Na-hee, who looked sullen and apologized again, began to tell her story.

“I came out on holiday for the cheerleading squad after-party and was meeting everyone in the morning. Meanwhile… Suddenly the world went crazy.”

She trembled, as if she had imagined something in front of her eyes.

“So, we quickly gathered together with everyone… I was trying to respond to this crazy situation. The problem was what happened in the process.”

She trembled again this time. But this time it wasn’t out of fear, but out of anger at something.

“We initially worked with a student council that had many awakened people. but… Those kids were crazy. They suddenly said that they had to control the supplies, and that they would take care of the non-awakened women… I thought such crazy things were nonsense, but when the rape case broke out, it became no joke.”

Crackling…

“What, that happened in one day? Does that make sense? No matter how young our juniors are, they are full-blooded and full of energy, but they don’t have enough sense?”

Kim Ji-won was puzzled, but I fully understood it.

When you have power, it’s human psychology to want to use it. I know this because I have seen countless people who one day become awakened to magical power, become hunters, and treat people carelessly.

And most of those guys have yellow buds from the beginning.

“Those guys were famous for their poor quality from the beginning. In the past, when I was having drinks with people from my club, I did something like this once and it became a big story. Since the situation has come to this, there is absolutely nothing to hesitate about.”

“…And it must have been because there were people among them who had the background to cover it up. Right?”

“Actress Han Se-ra is correct. Their backgrounds have parents who are politicians, regardless of the ruling or opposition party. furthermore… Although our cheerleaders say things like this, most of them have nowhere to complain. Most of the people who came to this club heard that it was good to get a job later due to networking… ”

It seems that the young students who had gained strength, as I expected, went crazy and did crazy things because the world was going crazy.

That’s why he feels particularly uncomfortable with me as a man. If that’s the case, then it’s completely understandable that he’s acting like this.

“That’s not all. On the way, I met Kim Tae-cheong, a male actor from the same agency as actress Han Se-ra and senior Kim Ji-won.”

“With senior Taechung… ? Oh, come to think of it! I heard there was a photo shoot nearby!”

“That’s right. Apparently, with the cooperation of the high school, they are filming some kind of breakthrough movie… ”

“That’s right. After running away from the student council, we met up with that person’s group at the business school. At first, they felt sorry when they heard about our situation. I was reassured by that and the fact that I was in the same agency as actress Han Se-ra and senior Kim Ji-won. But that was all a trick.”

She sighed and said nothing, just widened her eyes and glared at something in the air. Beyond that line of sight, there are probably people doing things similar to the student council.

The two sharp-witted women seemed to realize that something was up in that they gave themselves honorifics but did not give honorifics to the man named Kim Tae-cheong.

“Then the thing that was hostile to us… ”

“…You two were from the same agency as that person, so I did it just in case. I got treated like a fool once or twice, and I thought I couldn’t stand it anymore.”

“I’m not even close with that senior… Ugh. What kind of trouble is this for my junior because of that senior? ”

“I’m sorry, senior. But I would really appreciate it if you could understand my doubts in this situation.”

“I understand, phew… It’s not like I’m saying anything in particular,

Sarah asked Choi Na-hee, who bowed her head and apologized again to Kim Ji-won, to check the current situation again.

“By the way, how many people are in this student center?”

“There are 4 people, including me, who escaped safely. Two of them… I’m taking a break now because I was attacked by those guys. One person remains to take care of the two.”

“So your junior is guarding this building alone? Isn’t that because I’m using too much poison?”

“Actually, it’s better for me this way. Honestly, in terms of helplessness, the rest of the people are just holding me back. Even if you look at it like this, you are only level 7 so I don’t think you are weaker than others.”

“Le, level 7? already?! I caught a zombie like that and I’m only level 5… !”

Kim Ji-won is understandably embarrassed.

It’s level 7. It’s definitely high.

Of course, it’s not comparable to my companions, but Sarah and Choi Min-su helped me actively level up, so I was able to reach this level now.

From the looks of it, this area seems to be full of only the corpses of ordinary zombies…

‘How many of them did I have to kill to reach level 7 by only dealing with regular zombies, not goblins or special zombies?’

Even if you can’t do it, there are hundreds of them on your own… No, it is correct to say that we faced nearly a thousand zombies. Unless Choi Na-hee’s level is false.

There are also housing complexes mixed together here, so the numbers themselves are completely understandable… At this level, it can be said that he has a natural talent for combat. Similar to Sera, maybe even better.

I can feel confidence and a bit of a spirit of victory in Choi Na-hee’s eyes as she looks at me. I guess I was conscious of how my body reacted first when I shot the arrow earlier.

I’m glad that I’ll be able to solve that desire to win faster than I thought.

“Good. Now, shall we all please stand up for a moment? It looks like a customer came outside.”

“You’re a guest? What is that all of a sudden… ”

Choi Na-hee, who was tilting her head in confusion, frowned after a while, as if she had heard the footsteps of several people like me.

We picked up our weapons and moved toward the window where Choi Na-hee had shot an arrow at us earlier.

“Hey~ cheering squad! I came to take care of you because I was worried!”

“How uncomfortable it must be for women. In this dangerous world. So, let’s resolve the misunderstanding and quickly get the remaining people together?”

“…These bastards… !”

Outside of that, about 10 men could be seen making a fuss and approaching the student center.

Choi Na-hee gritted her teeth as she looked at them, and raised the bow that had been aimed at us earlier.
