Academy Life of a Career Hypnotist

Episode 23. Trouble Counseling Department (1)

“Kim Do-yoon. I have news to tell you.”

Signal returned after a long time.

When the morning assembly time was over, Tak Gwang-jun called me.

“What is it?”

“I already preached this to other students, but you probably couldn’t hear it because of illness. It is nothing but a story about circle activities.”

“ah.”

Tak Kwang-jun began to explain what a circle was.

circle activity.

It was a word that referred to the club activity that everyone knew.

Although it is not compulsory, additional credits are awarded if you use your natural talent through circle activities.

‘It’s a circle… … . Will this be okay?’

However, I felt a sense of attraction in a different sense than the grade.

It means that you can build legal nature proficiency. Signal was strictly limiting the act of demonstrating one’s nature for others.

In particular, perhaps because I was born with mental interference, the restrictions were particularly strong.

“Hmm. Anyway, I think this is enough for the circle explanation. It’s your choice whether or not to be active, so think carefully.”

“Is that all you have to say?”

“no. Now it’s time to get the main topic out. It is also the reason why I called you separately.”

He looked around for a moment, then spoke in a lower voice.

“This time Signal has decided to give you a benefit.”

“Benefits?”

“Your contribution was the greatest in calming Pyo Yu-rim this time. Externally, this case was kept quiet and passed on. However, the chairman said that you have no intention of passing on even your hard work.”

“ah. so… .”

“Unfortunately, he couldn’t promise material compensation, but he said he would provide convenience for anything related to school activities. Is there anything you wish for?”

It was a very cunning proposal.

Yoo-seong, who overpowered Pyo Yu-rim, the main character of the original work, also received the same proposal from the chairman of Signal.

‘That guy just said he was doing what he had to do and said it was okay and just passed it on.’

I was different from him.

“Then may I ask you for one thing right away?”

“What is it?”

“I want to create a circle myself, but I was wondering if I could borrow a bad room.”

Anyone can create a circle, but no one can rent a room dedicated to the circle. Only circles whose achievements were recognized to some extent through circle activities could receive it.

“It’s insolvent… . Hmm, I don’t think that would be that difficult. I’m only asking one question out of nostalgia. What kind of activities do you plan to create a circle for?”

A circle activity where I can actively demonstrate my nature. It was as if it had already been decided.

“It’s a circle that listens to trouble counseling.”

time after school.

My request to Signal was handled swiftly.

Beep. drooling.

‘This is the room I will use from now on.’

The insolvency entered through the card key given by Tak Kwang-jun. The door opens automatically and the interior area is about 50 square meters. In terms of average, it boasted about 15 pyeong.

It wasn’t even just an empty room. The interior of a calm atmosphere was also created, probably considering the characteristics of circle activities such as trouble counseling.

When I looked around, the first thing that caught my eye was the sophisticated looking bookshelf, and on that bookshelf were books I was familiar with. There were books related to human psychology.

‘You really cared a lot.’

While looking around the room with admiration, I saw the sunset light coming through the window, so I approached it inadvertently.

The outside scenery was infinitely ordinary. Students doing after-school activities in the playground. The sun slowly setting over the mountain peaks. It was an atmosphere that made people wet with emotion.

‘What will happen from now on?’

I passed the first episode safely, but unfortunately this is not the end. Rather, it was not an exaggeration to say that it was just the beginning.

Recall what the flow of the second episode was like.

The chairman of the Chilsung Group, the waning sun. A competition between children and relatives for the throne of this company, which is called the main beam of Korea.

Seol Chae-hwa is also a member of the Chilseong family, and in the process of trying to prove her worth, she gets involved in a troublesome incident.

She is framed for helping Septagram.

‘Was it an artificial satellite project… … .’

Septagram’s plan is to confine immature children in an artificially created environment to create adults with natures that suit their tastes.

A project that exploited the research result that the principle of formation of nature originates from a person’s personality. Seol Chae-hwa writes a false accusation that she helped the plan to succeed.

Even worse. She is shocked when she realizes that the reason the situation has come to this point is that her henchman, Ghost, was an infiltrator of the Septagram.

The more you investigate, the more suspicious circumstances come out. A rapidly shrinking location within Chilseong. Seol Chae-hwa tries to appeal her injustice through actions rather than words.

It is to take responsibility and to root out the artificial satellite project. In the process, the player encounters Seol Chae-hwa, who has completely turned into a demon, and helps solve the case.

‘Can I really handle that episode?’

To be honest, I wasn’t confident with my current strength.

“Are you inside?”

The time when I was deep in my thoughts. Someone visited the stalemate.

“How did you know this place?”

Even a tiger will come if I say it.

It was snowflakes.

“I am a businessman. Since I have wide feet, I know pretty much everything that goes on in the school.”

“Would you like to get some advice?”

“no. It’s because I’m not so weak that I need to be consulted by someone.”

“I see.”

taste was bitter.

Even though you know that one person’s life will be driven to hell, you have to watch it again. At first glance, it seems to be a similar situation to the time of drifting, but this time I really shouldn’t step out.

‘Seol Chae-hwa, who lost her place due to false accusations, will grit her teeth and try to dig up the artificial satellite project in order to regain her original position.’

The power of execution that comes from that anger is not something that someone can do hastily.

“I came to check on my safety. Have you been feeling better since you were discharged?”

“what. Are you worried?”

“Because you are a person of great value. I will have work to collaborate with you in the future, so please take good care of your body.”

After that, she said she had other business and left the club coolly. I watched the back of her leaving with a mixed feeling.

“Ding dong ding dong. Mr Uncle~ Are you here?”

After a while.

This time, Eom Na-yeon came to the clubhouse.

“How did you know again?”

“My best friend, Chae-hwa, went down a road she didn’t normally take, so I secretly followed her, wanting to go somewhere… Is it like this?”

“If you have nothing to do, go. This is not a place to come to play.”

“oh! Wait, wait! I’m worried. I came because I was worried~”

If you think about what kind of person Eom Na-yeon is, there is a high probability that it is not a poem.

“What are you worried about?”

Still, out of courtesy, I decided to listen.

“I’m thinking about what to eat for dinner tonight, but I’m wondering if I’ll like tteokbokki or malatang… … .”

Sure enough, it was different.

I pushed her out of the room and kicked her out before the story was over.

‘I kicked him out once… . In the future, there will be more students who will come for counseling with such trivial concerns.’

Not everyone asks for counseling on a heavy topic just because it is a trouble counseling. There were also a few people who came to me with trivial concerns.

Usually, in such a case, the purpose was not to solve the problem, but to relieve emotions through conversation, and to ask for counseling in the hope that someone would listen to their story.

It was a pretty good situation for me. Rather, it is because there is a panacea-like power in relieving such simple emotions.

‘Still, since it’s a mental interference type nature, I’ll have to recognize it in advance before using it.’

I thought it would be nice to have a response manual related to it, or things that need to be guided to those who come for counseling, in advance.

Did you also tell me to remove the horns for sweet seaweed? I thought about it and immediately sat down in front of the desk. I was thinking of jotting down ideas related to future circle activities on paper.

smart.

“Come on in.”

“Are you busy?”

Just in time, a third guest came.

The most nervous person out of all the customers who have visited so far. In a way, it was Min Seo-eun, the most burdensome opponent to deal with.

‘It’s unexpected. I never thought he would come to me first.’

Eom Na-yeon with good sociability. If the value is high, seolchaehwa that shows interest in anyone. Unlike these two, Min Seo-eun was a person who needed a careful approach.

“no. It’s a quiet situation. come in.”

“Excuse me.”

Min Seo Eun goes inside. She sat down in the counselor’s chair across from my desk and stared at me.

‘Last time, I looked at you as if I was frightened. I guess I’m used to it now.’

It was time to ask her the same question.

“How did you know this place?”

“I went to class because I had something to say to Kim Do-yoon. But just in time, I left the classroom, so I quietly followed him, and he came to this place.”

A wry smile was built on its own. It was the repertoire I used the other day to save Min Seo-eun, who was in danger. I hope you will pay me back.

‘But I’m a little puzzled. Min Seo-eun would still be wary of me. Did he really come to me for counseling?’

In the meantime, Min Seo-eun raised her head, as if she had completely chosen her words.

“When I looked at the entrance, I heard that it was a trouble counseling department.”

“Do you have any worries? I will advise you.”

“Recently, I have a dream that bothers me. I keep having the same dream over and over again. I wonder if this has something to do with my mental state.”

“It may have something to do with it. sit down Tell me what your dream is.”

And the story begins.

“In my dream, I had a childhood friend. There’s a boy I’ve known since childhood, and I kept dreaming that I had a crush on him and longed for it.”

It was indeed a bizarre and strange dream, itself.

‘no way?’

The moment I heard Min Seo-eun’s dream story, there was a person who came to mind first.

The original protagonist of Psychic Age. Originally, Min Seo-eun and Yoo-seong were childhood friends.

I thought that the person named Yooseong had been deleted from this world. Because my past was also a strangely changed yard.

“This may be a bit of an absurd question, can you answer it?”

“What kind of question do you think it is?”

“Is there anything that comes to your mind when you hear the name Yuseong?”

I quietly observed Min Seo-eun’s reaction.

“Are you Yoosung? You mean shooting stars?”

If it had come out as if the name was familiar, the situation would have been strange. I don’t know if I should call this a relief or a pity, but she didn’t seem to understand.

I didn’t dig further and continued with normal counseling.

The conversation didn’t last too long. In the first place, Min Seo-eun didn’t really come here to get counseling. Looking at his expression and tone, it seemed that he did not regard the content of the dream as a major concern.

“Come to think of it, you said you had something to say to me.”

Around the time the topic of dreams was over. I implicitly inquired into her true intentions.

“Actually, I didn’t have anything to say.”

“Somehow it seemed like that.”

“I just wanted to have an honest talk with you. You said you wanted to be friends with me, right? There is nothing like talking to get to know each other.”

“I know you well.”

The appearance of Min Seo-eun, who was noticeably shrunk at first, is now gone. He seemed more comfortable dealing with me.

“hey. But can I ask you one more question?”

“Feel free to ask.”

“At that time, on the day of the entrance exam, he hypnotized me and approached me. Why did you do that?”

I was speechless for a moment.

I told him to ask comfortably, but I didn’t expect a question like this to come up. Even a wrong answer could turn a long-awaited relationship into a distant relationship.

“It was because you looked pretty. That’s why I think my body is ahead of me.”

It was the answer that came out after a moment of thought. For me, this was the best. The fact that I tried to hypnotize and pervert was never good enough no matter what I tried.

“Is that all?”

“Is there a reason why hunting is so grandiose? They say men are basically animals. Anyway, what is it? I am still reflecting on it. So I’ll take this opportunity to say it again. I’m really sorry about what happened then.”

Min Seo-eun stares at me. It was as if he was trying to look inside me.

Was it part of a sincere story that he just wanted to share with me? In the original work, Min Seo-eun felt somewhat unfamiliar, perhaps because she only showed a kind side to Yoo-seong.

“Looks like I’ll have to go soon. It’s nice to talk about it today. I will come again next time if I have a chance.”

“I may not be here, so call me.”

After the meeting with her, which had to be somewhat sweaty, was over. After a while, the fourth guest came.

smart.

“yes. Come on in.”

“I came to hear about the circle activities… .”

This time it was a driftwood.

“Why are you not feeling well? Is something going on?”

But why?

She had a very upset face.
