Chapter Index

    “Lee Jun-woo?!! When were you awake?!!”

    Embarrassed, she quickly got up.

    My face was completely red from surprise.

    ‘Choi Hana is this surprised?’

    Unlike his usual cool appearance, you can’t quite tell what he’s thinking.

    Now anyone can see Choi Hana’s emotions are clearly visible on her face.

    Of course, the cause was me.

    “I’m sorry… I fell asleep without realizing it…”

    “It’s okay. This is like a bedroom in the nurse’s office. Isn’t this the place where you took care of me?”

    “Yes. that’s right. I was worried, but he woke up again. Are you feeling okay?”

    “I don’t think it hurts that much. I think I’ve been lying down for quite some time. Thanks to you, I think I’m feeling better. Thank you.”

    I expressed my gratitude to Hana Choi who thanked me.

    Choi Hana bowed her head slightly at those words.

    Although he seemed embarrassed.

    The corners of his mouth went up as if he felt good about my words of gratitude.

    At that smile, my heart started pounding without me knowing.

    ‘It would have been okay if they had just looked at my condition. ‘I heard you’re nice.’

    I know very well that Choi Hana has a kind personality, unlike Aigis and the other female cadets of True Opposition.

    Still, she was the type of person who didn’t talk to other male cadets.

    Actually, I don’t feel awkward talking to a man who is the boss of the underworld.

    Privately, it seemed like he had no intention of hanging out with his fellow male cadets.

    I am the only one who naturally mixes things up with Hana Choi.

    ‘So I guess I’m not the only one who misunderstood.’

    If I’m not mistaken, he would be Theia’s male cadet who was the only friend of Hana Choi.

    And it is true that the atmosphere with Choi Hana has been strange recently.

    Especially after last night’s study.

    The distance from her has become very close.

    He is hiding the fact that he is Na Haring and that he is the boss of the organization.

    Even though he couldn’t reveal everything to me.

    Still, I’ve been exchanging private DMs with her every day lately.

    Morning and late night.

    I say hello to her every time I wake up and go to sleep.

    The current atmosphere between the two was not awkward, but rather strange, like that of people who had sensed each other’s feelings to some extent.

    “……”

    “……”

    There was silence again.

    Suddenly, another image of Choi Hana, Naharing, came to mind.

    When it comes to Naharing, she fills the audio without even stopping for a moment, which is truly surprising.

    And these days, Naharing is a vertuber who is so good at manipulating viewers that he is nicknamed Napox.

    ‘When I see you look so shy, I can’t believe you’re the same person.’

    I also watch Naharing’s broadcast as if I were fascinated.

    If I think about it, ever since I fell in love with that Naharin broadcast.

    It seems like my feelings for Choi Hana are starting to change.

    ‘What do I think of Choi Hana…?’

    Choi Hana is a major character in the original work, even being the main character of one side content.

    Moreover, he was a person with enough symbolism to be able to bring together not only the underworld but also the forces opposing the Apostle of Valhalla.

    Song Yu-hwan, the absolute powerhouse of this era.

    In Song Yu-hwan’s heyday, the only person who could be called a rival was Choi Hana’s father.

    ‘And the betrayal of those subordinates. The real background was Song Yu-hwan.’

    As an Unknown, my goal is the same as Choi Hana.

    Standing at the top of the underworld.

    Helping her get revenge.

    It is the same as my goal to ultimately confront Song Yu-hwan.

    ‘So, I’ll do my best to help Hana Choi.’

    It means that I am different from the three people of Aegis, who I can use for my own purposes and not feel guilty about discarding.

    And it couldn’t be the same as those three people in the first place.

    Choi Hana was always friendly to me.

    Unlike those three people, I could feel that all their actions toward me were sincere and warm.

    She’s even full of charm as a woman.

    I am the type of person who is honest about my emotions without absolute composure.

    I wanted to do better for Choi Hana.

    ‘We’re going to become lovers right away… I don’t think so, though.’

    Apart from having a crush on her.

    It is still too early to become an official couple.

    Choi Hana is still Naharing to me.

    You didn’t tell me about your background as the boss’s daughter.

    Moreover, I also had to start working as an unknown from now on.

    Regardless of the feelings of the two people.

    It was not the right time for either of them to start a normal relationship right away.

    ‘So it’s different from the time of An Yu-min. ‘I won’t make a sudden move.’

    Instead, if our feelings are really the same.

    Unlike Ahn Yu-min, I had no anxiety about Choi Hana.

    I know her personality well.

    Once I made up my mind, I never changed it.

    And because the two people have a destiny for each other.

    No matter how it ends, I will always be by your side.

    Still, so that Choi Hana doesn’t find out.

    I wanted to convey my feelings to some extent.

    ‘If I hold your hand… I don’t think you’ll like it.’

    But it was that time.

    “…… You’re really fine with no pain, right?”

    Choi Hana opened her mouth again and looked at me with a worried expression.

    And after a little hesitation,

    Rather, it was Choi Hana who held my hand first.

    It may have been a mistake, but Choi Hana did not let go of her hand.

    ‘Choi Hana goes first…’

    Choi Hana was also an awakened person with a hunter license.

    The hand was thin and long, like a woman’s, but very soft and warm.

    As I looked at Choi Hana, who was slowly avoiding my gaze again.

    I gently clasped her hand.

    The two spent a little more time together in the nurse’s office.

    ***

    Several days have passed.

    The day I had a sparring match with Lim Jae-ho.

    I had an appointment with Song Xia that evening, but I canceled it.

    I was tired from the aftereffects of that sparring, and I was with Hana Choi in the nurse’s office at that time.

    I didn’t want to lose that short but precious time to Song Xia.

    ‘Maybe that’s why I kept receiving DMs from Song Sia for a few days.’

    Ironically, that emotionless half-vampire was now showing excessive emotion to me.

    The true blood has awakened, and the attachment to me has become so strong that it sucks blood.

    As someone who knew Song Si-ah’s emotionless personality, it was a truly touching experience.

    ‘Thanks to this, my demonic power has been replenished, and my demonization is progressing. I might be grateful.’

    Of course, the situation turned out to be just the opposite.

    When it comes to dealing with Song Xia, I can’t feel anything like I used to with her.

    For now, it is to my advantage to properly control her mind.

    I felt no remorse about it.

    [Lee Jun-woo: I had a busy time. See you today at the joint meeting of the Crime Research Institute and Student Council. Then, I look at my schedule and have a quick cup of coffee when I have time.]

    For a few days, I ignored her DMs without even mentioning that I had canceled the appointment.

    Coincidentally, in my schedule today, I had a point of contact with Song Sia.

    Although Song Xia was not a member of the student council.

    He was a member of the Crime Alliance.

    So, even if nothing special happens today, we will meet.

    I sent her a DM as a courtesy.

    [Song Sia: Really? You’re definitely coming, right? I’ll buy as much coffee as I can. I know you’re busy, but thank you so much for your time.]

    [Sia Song presented a mobile gift certificate.]

    But even so, Song Si-ah expressed full of joy at the one-word message saying that he would meet her.

    They even sent me a mileage gift certificate that can be used at Rain Weapons.

    ‘Well, there is no need to use Rain Weapons right now.’

    When strengthening the paladin sword.

    And it was a high-end weapon shop that came in handy when I received the orb, my current main weapon, as a gift from Song Xia.

    The rare+ grade weapon is in its original state without any enhancement grade.

    Since I had already achieved significant synchronization with my own mana flow, I needed to gradually strengthen the orb.

    ‘Now it’s really time to move on as an unknown.’

    The physical stats were almost approaching the average of Theia cadets.

    When I think about the past when I was at the level of ordinary people, I am deeply moved.

    Working as an unknown is a completely different story.

    Jo A-rin, the student council president who is revered as an absolute being in Theia.

    Even she, whose main stats have already exceeded 120, is still a child when it comes to dealing with named villains and underworld gang members.

    ‘That’s how much different awakenings of level A or higher have in terms of experience.’

    So no matter how effective the hidden title is.

    My body needed more strengthening.

    And when your physical abilities are lacking, a good way to keep your skills alive is to use your skills.

    ‘In that respect, my current main weapon… the crimson flickering orb is useful.’

    As it is a high-level item, it can be enchanted with special effects every time it is strengthened.

    In the meantime, I have accumulated a lot of system goods through clearing quests.

    The orb can be strengthened by a dwarven craftsman at Rain Weapons, though.

    I put off strengthening it a little longer.

    ‘A significant part of the quest has passed.’

    Rain Weapons was a high-end weapon shop not only for Theia’s cadets but also for active awakeners.

    At this point, there was no need to rely on Rain Weapons.

    The Mirror Hotel has already been opened and entered.

    After the midterm exams, the space behind Theia Academy.

    The Mirror Hotel had a special floor where weapons could be strengthened in a special way.

    The problem, however, is how to re-enter the Mirror Hotel.

    Fortunately, the people gathered at the meeting I’m currently heading to will help create the opportunity.

    I arrived at the student council conference room.

    There were many familiar faces gathered there.

    I said hello to Chairman Jo A-rin, who had red twin tails.

    “Hello. Senior.”

    But her mood was somehow a little strange.

    She suddenly blushed and called me out of the conference room for a moment.
