Choi Hana froze on the spot.

‘Why are you listening to that song?’

It was a song you couldn’t recognize.

It was a song covered under Na Haring’s name.

It’s a Korean song with a cheerful melody and a relatively less harsh feel.

It was an idol song frequently covered by Korean vertubers.

‘I’m going crazy!’

I wanted to hide somewhere right away.

A few years ago, when Scarlett was competing as an idol.

At that time, we received idol training together.

Although I was used to hearing my own voice.

Coincidentally, it was Lee Jun-woo who was listening to that song.

Just like Na Haring’s character, and even the dancing video, just like that.

“Junwoo Lee. Do you… like that kind of song?”

I asked reflexively.

When I think about it, it’s better to like it than to dislike it.

In Korean subculture, vertubers are still the darkest of darks.

So when the worst thing happens and you are discovered to be Naharing.

If Lee Jun-woo has a strong aversion to Virtubers.

You will never be able to party with Lee Jun-woo again.

“This song? I don’t think it’s bad. It was played accidentally due to algorithmic autoplay. This is my first time hearing this song too.”

“I see. Thank you!”

“Lucky? Why are you so lucky?”

And when I asked that question, I had nothing to say for a moment.

Still, Lee Jun-woo doesn’t know that she is Na Haring.

“Well, that’s because Scarlett likes Virtuber. I guess I’m secretly interested in that too…”

“I see. Because my hobbies are diverse.”

Lee Jun-woo’s expression was relaxed.

Like what you said a little while ago.

There didn’t seem to be much interest in Virtuber.

Actually, somehow, a part of my heart felt regretful.

‘Really, why am I doing this…’

Silence fell between the two.

Today, the two decided to study theory together.

Originally, Baek Ji-yu, Lee Jun-woo’s friend, was also supposed to study together.

She missed today’s study due to her schedule at the Assassin Department.

‘Baek Ji-yu…’

He seemed to get along very well with Lee Jun-woo.

I heard you were a childhood friend.

Baek Ji-yu also has a cute face, so I heard a rumor that middle class cadets are very interested in her.

Although I was a little concerned.

Are you a very close friend of Lee Jun-woo?

I shouldn’t have been carelessly jealous.

‘Because Lee Jun-woo doesn’t seem to be dating anyone yet.’

If that were the case, I wouldn’t have spent time with myself on the weekend like last time.

‘Ah… no. Why am I thinking like this again?’

And I quickly denied that thought as well.

Today’s study also gets help from Lee Jun-woo.

Impure thoughts were rude to him.

“Then shall we go to the library?”

“Let’s buy some drinks and snacks before that.”

“Four! Okay!”

Lee Jun-woo and I went to the canteen right next to the break room.

Watching him choose a snack.

A few days ago, the deputy boss of the organization.

I recalled the conversation I had with Hwang Yong-gyun.

– boss. Junwoo Lee is a talent that we must recruit to our organization. The boss who recognized me first has great insight.

Choi Hana was surprised by those words.

As he said.

It was true that I recognized Lee Jun-woo’s potential and had always been watching him.

However, Hwang Yong-gyun’s recognition of Lee Jun-woo was another story.

Hwang Yong-gyun is the person who actually runs the organization on behalf of Choi Hana, who is still a cadet.

He is a talented person who can be called strong even as an awakened person.

– As you know, there is a lack of talent in our organization. However, because of that Baekjeol event, our organization had an opportunity to grow.

Choi Hana clearly remembers the saint’s visit to Korea.

Blood Jaguar is short on awakened manpower.

Lee Jun-woo performed well in that organization’s area.

From removing bombs to dealing with villains and monsters.

Even, he led the members of the organization to further increase the efficiency of the battle.

‘And at the end…’

Junwoo Lee did a great job.

Thanks to him stopping the villain from running away with the relic.

Hwang Yong-gyun was able to arrest the villain.

Because of that incident, the status of Mad Knife and Blood Jaguar was reversed.

If it weren’t for Blood Jaguar, it was a major incident that would have shaken the pillars of all organizations related to Mad Knife.

‘If you couldn’t protect the relic. ‘It could be an achievement not only for the Association but also for the Goddess Church.’

So Hwang Yong-gyun’s stock price rose significantly.

Naturally, more and more people are sticking to the Blood Jaguar side.

It won’t be long before Hwang Yong-gyun will be able to swallow Mad Knife.

told her

– If we can recruit Lee Jun-woo to our organization in the future… our organization may be able to soar even further.

Those words made Choi Hana even more determined.

I will definitely recruit him into the organization.

Hwang Yong-gyun also asked me to personally give his business card to Lee Jun-woo.

‘If Lee Jun-woo asks me for help. You must listen to everything!’

Midterm exams coming soon.

The main test of the midterm is to conquer the dungeon through party play.

I was planning to help Lee Jun-woo there and achieve good results.

Today’s theory study is also essential for conquering that dungeon.

The two moved to the library.

I sat next to him in an area where I could study freely.

“Because I know the theory of fire magic better. If there’s something you don’t know, I’ll help you.”

“Oh, I understand!”

I was studying a new class called Marksmanship at Alchemist.

The theory needed to increase the firepower of marksmanship is fire magic.

However, Choi Hana was nervous.

As I sat right next to Lee Jun-woo, my hair actually turned white.

I was strangely conscious of Lee Jun-woo.

‘When I was broadcasting, I wasn’t nervous no matter how many viewers there were.’

The regular broadcast time was delayed due to today’s study.

I wanted to take a break, but

As expected, Naharing’s popularity grew so much that it could not be closed.

‘Why did it become like this…’

Just her gang members.

All I could think about was helping the members of Underdolls.

So, I really put myself down as Choi Hana.

I just broadcast it without any thought.

Like a crazy bitch.

Then, he became famous overnight.

‘no. For now, we have to focus on Lee Jun-woo’s explanation!’

At that moment, my eyes met his.

“Is it too difficult to explain?”

“No! Because I’m stupid…”

And then I instinctively avoided eye contact again.

‘Lee Jun-woo is not interested in women! ‘You shouldn’t have strange thoughts.’

To hide my pounding heart.

I continued to twist her long hair with my fingers.

And even if you try not to be conscious of it.

I was concerned about the DM notifications that kept popping up on Lee Jun-woo’s smartphone.

***

I studied with Hana Choi for several hours.

But she seemed to have trouble concentrating on her studies.

He kept avoiding my gaze or twisting his hair with his fingers.

‘I guess I’m bound to be tired.’

Naharing’s broadcast time is late in the evening or at night.

Broadcasts were often made even after midnight.

Filling in the audio throughout the broadcast time consumes more stamina than you might think.

And Naharing responded surprisingly well to viewers’ chat.

‘That must be a natural talent.’

Continuing to send appropriate drips in response to the chat.

That alone continues to make viewers feel like they are interacting with the streamer.

Although I think I fill out the audio well.

There are many streamers who only talk about what they want to say without looking at the chat window.

Every time I watch Na Haring’s broadcast, I am truly surprised by Choi Hana.

‘When I think about it, the streaming ability was good in the original as well.’

However, if Choi Hana conducted the Inbang content on her own, the effect was not very good.

Probably because there is a persona called Naharin.

It seemed like she could crack the egg and fly.

“Then, put the magic of this fire spell in a bullet in advance…”

I hid my true feelings and continued to explain the theory to her.

Midterm exams coming soon.

There, I had to get good grades as well.

‘Depending on your midterm exam performance, you will be assigned to a better location for future activities.’

The academy is not good for nothing.

Theia provides opportunities to participate in good dungeons that regular hunters cannot go to.

Even if you belong to a middle class, higher-ranking parties have preferential treatment.

It’s good for me and Hana Choi.

‘There’s a reason I recommended the gunnery class.’

The weapon Choi Hana previously used was a chain.

The chain was alchemically transformed to contain the damage from the explosion.

However, Choi Hana has good concentration and responsiveness.

If you change that and use bullets instead of chains and combine them into a weapon called a gun.

Her potential can be blossomed even further.

“Then, let me explain it in a simpler way.”

I was confident in flame magic.

I studied theory diligently since I was in high school.

And the power ‘Fire burning from Mana Heart’.

Thanks to having that power, understanding fire magic has become easier.

But teaching someone like this was harder than I thought.

No, actually, it’s not that difficult.

Strangely enough, I was worried about Choi Hana.

‘You probably didn’t think it was strange a little while ago.’

I naturally made the excuse that it was a video created by the YouTube algorithm.

Choi Hana will not doubt me.

But to be honest.

These days, I’ve been looking for and listening to Na Haring’s cover songs.

And I continued to watch not only Na Haring’s live broadcast, but also the YouTube video.

Naharing’s unique soft-spoken tone.

But when he sings, he sings well like an idol.

Without even realizing it, I had become a loyal listener of Naharing.

So the person inside Naharing.

Being next to Choi Hana made me a little concerned about him.

‘Why are you doing this? ‘Maybe it’s a side effect of the title.’

I felt it when I grabbed the villain Running Claw.

When I, as Unknown, woke up.

My personality is also changing somewhere.

As I am walking down the path of becoming a villain.

In a way, it was natural.

A villain is a being with a twisted corner somewhere.

So it’s not strange if you develop slightly unusual tastes.

‘… I guess that’s what it is.’

Unless you explain it that way.

I maintained my composure even against the three of Aegis.

Because the situation in which I am currently conscious of Choi Hana is difficult.

After finishing the study, Hana Choi and I left the library.

“If you don’t know anything, DM me anytime.”

“Is that really okay?”

Choi Hana’s voice was bright.

Feeling embarrassed for some reason, I just nodded and quickly moved to another location.

To the cafe I promised with Ha Ye-eun.

I must have been quite anxious.

Even though I said I would meet you today.

Ha Ye-eun continued to send me DMs.

‘It is the corruption of a prospective saint.’

I re-read the description of the newly acquired 4-star power.

In my mind, I organized a way to corrupt Ha Ye-eun, a nun of the Goddess Church.

Then I took out Hwang Yong-gyun’s business card that Choi Hana gave me and looked at it.

‘There will be times when I can use this.’

After a while.

I headed to the cafe table where Ha Ye-eun was sitting.

“Lee Jun-woo!!”

She greeted me with a very happy voice.
