Academy Life of a Career Hypnotist

Episode 8. after party (2)

Signal 1st grade multipurpose room.

It was the place where students who got scores of A rank or higher in this joint class decided to gather.

Originally, the use of the multipurpose room was prohibited for students’ personal reasons. However, Seol Chae-hwa, who hosted this meeting, was the daughter of Chairman Pil-seong, who is said to be the pride of Korea and the best and largest company.

‘It’s hard to ignore the signal that is known to be strict for students who are arranged by a high-ranking person.’

It wouldn’t have been a job to provide a place.

“Here, Uncle.”

We entered the multi-purpose room under the guidance of Nayeon Eom.

Faces that seemed to pass by during joint classes caught my eye. They were moths enchanted by the brilliance of being the second-generation chaebol on their backs.

Some look impatient, others look expectant.

‘Seol Chae-hwa is never an easy person.’

She has very high eyes. Unless they are really talented, more than half of the people gathered here will escape Seol Chae-hwa’s attention.

“Welcome.”

Seol Chae-hwa approached me, brushing her long platinum hair behind her back. She was an impressive woman with a slender body and an intelligent yet penetrating appearance.

“I didn’t know you would invite me too.”

“Why did you think that?”

“We weren’t particularly good during joint classes, weren’t we?”

“But you proved it with your results. And this meeting wasn’t just opened for friendship. Part of it is to find talented people like you.”

Turning around first, she approached an empty seat, sat down, and nodded toward the chair opposite her.

“Let’s sit down. I have something to say apart from you.”

As she sat down on the recommended seat, she opened her mouth again.

“Did you know us well?”

It was Seolchaehwa who opened the door first.

When I say ‘we’, I’m sure that includes Min Seo-eun and Eom Na-yeon, including Seol Chae-hwa herself.

During the joint class, I showed the appearance of knowing one after another about the girls’ abilities. It was natural to have doubts.

“I did some research. Aside from you guys, I barely recognized celebrities among my freshman classmates.”

Seol Chae-hwa, as well as Eom Na-yeon and Min Seo-eun, could be said to be celebrities in their own right.

Needless to say, Seol Chae-hwa is a conglomerate lady, and Eom Na-yeon is a super rookie who is attracting attention in the security industry.

“… … .”

The person looking at me from the other side with a wary eye. A female student with pale yellow wavy hair, distinctive apple hair, and a sad look.

‘Min Seo-eun.’

She was also the holder of an unprecedented natural ability to apply buffs through food intake.

“For what purpose did you recognize us?”

“It’s the same reason you tried to create this place. I was wondering if there was someone out of my Signal motives to make friends with.”

“Hmm~ Didn’t you look into our heads with your hypnotic powers?”

Have I ever explained my nature in a joint class?

‘No, he must have found out about me after that.’

I confided in the truth.

“No way. My abilities are not that omnipotent.”

“well. That’s something you don’t know. Usually adults don’t reveal their abilities properly, don’t they?”

I decided not to vomit. If I misunderstood that my ability was strong, she might think well of me too.

I turned my gaze away from her, this time looking around. I finally felt it, but the eyes filled with jealousy were flying.

‘but. It must be awkward since everyone gathered to have a face-to-face meeting with a chaebol lady.’

It might have been that I was displeased with myself for being openly treated as the main character.

“Well, good. Anyway, it looks like everyone I invited came.”

Seol Chae-hwa rose from her seat with such luck. After lightly clapping their hands and attracting the attention of the students, they led the atmosphere just like in the original work and started to have conversations with the meeting participants.

As initially announced, an atmosphere was created where students who achieved A rank in the joint class and those with outstanding talent borrowed this place to get to know each other.

“Hey, Uncle~”

Someone tapped me on the shoulder.

A unique tone of voice mixed with aegyo. A title given to anyone without hesitation. It was a feature that made it possible to know who it was without looking back.

“why?”

Nayeon Eom was sitting in the seat behind me.

“I heard it too. That ability called hypnosis. Would you like to try it on me?”

“… … suddenly?”

“No, I was just curious. I wondered what it would feel like to be hypnotized~”

“I’m sorry, but I hate it.”

“why? Is it because you noticed? If that’s the case, shall we go to a remote place?”

She’s trying to float me now. Am I a bad person or a good person?

His expression was infinitely pure and cheerful, but he couldn’t fool me. i know her well

When Eom Na-yeon tries to judge others, she often puts on a smirk. Looking back, I had the same eye smile during the joint class.

“Do you know what I’m going to do and say that?”

“Then there is nothing you can do. I was curious first. I think you have to pay the price.”

“Do you know what the cost is?”

“Are you going to touch my chest?”

It hits very hard.

I didn’t even blink an eye.

“Children’s breasts are of little interest.”

“what? Who is the kid?! I’m twenty years old?”

“I’m over thirty? To me like that, you’re a child without fail.”

It was around the time when Eom Na-yeon and a light scuffle were going back and forth. Min Seo-eun, who had been watching this side strangely since earlier, suddenly came this way.

“huh? Oh, it’s Seoeun. what’s the matter?”

“Nayeon. I have something urgent to tell you. Come over here for a second.”

“Huh? what, why? What is it?”

Min Seo-eun looked at me for a moment and quickly grabbed Na-yeon Eom’s arm and took her away.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it.

‘Why do you hate me so much?’

I inadvertently remembered what she had said the other time we met at a soup kitchen.

“Then please stop pretending to know me from now on. I’ll think of it as ‘something that never happened’ and move on. But if you’re going to approach me just one more time, then you’d better be prepared.”

As I pondered over those words, there was a part that suddenly bothered me.

‘What didn’t happen? What do you mean by thinking that something happened?’

Doesn’t it sound like I’ve run into Min Seo-eun before?

Swoop.

It was a time when doubts lingered on their tails. Someone came and sat down next to me.

‘Pyoyurim… … .’

You really came to this meeting.

When I first entered this place, I didn’t have time to pay attention to Seol Chae-hwa because she talked to me.

Looking closely, I could see dark circles around her eyes. As in the original, it seemed to be getting more and more impoverished.

“Mr. Kim Do-yoon.”

It was a voice calling me, but it was muffled by the surrounding noise. Even though I knew it, I deliberately chose to ignore it.

Fortunately, after calling her once, she never called back.

“Wah ha ha.”

“really? It’s absolutely amazing!”

In the meantime, the friendly atmosphere in the multipurpose room gradually matured.

Once riding the flow, it seemed to be changing into a full-fledged MT atmosphere.

There were some people who got drunk without knowing where the alcohol came from, and a group of people were shouting slogans and even playing random games.

I couldn’t melt into such a group and watched from afar.

‘I think I can go back soon.’

I didn’t feel the need to stay here any longer.

In the original work, this position became an opportunity for Yooseong to get acquainted with Nayeon Eom and Chaehwa Seol in earnest.

Not as much as Yuseong, but I also got to know Seol Chae-hwa and Eom Na-yeon more. It seems that the intended purpose has been achieved.

‘Let’s go out.’

I quietly got up from my seat. I felt Pyo Yu-rim, who was staring blankly at the surface of the desk, glancing at me.

I rushed out of the multipurpose room wondering if I should talk to you.

“Wait.”

As I was about to return to the dormitory, I heard a voice calling to me.

It was not a drifting forest.

“why?”

It was snowflakes.

“Are you going?”

“I have no more business.”

“You must have participated in the meeting to make friends, didn’t you? Looking at it, I don’t think there was any movement like that.”

You managed to keep an eye on my actions in the cluttered atmosphere.

“Because there are some bad rumors about me. I tried to talk to them, but everyone avoided them.”

“So are you just leaving?”

“I can’t help it. Everyone hates it, but what can I do?”

“Isn’t it easy to hypnotize?”

“That’s why I said it wasn’t so omnipotent… … huh?”

Suddenly, she handed me a business card. The title of vice president of ‘Polaris’, a private military company belonging to the Pilsung Group, was impressive.

“If you have time, would you like to work with me?”

“What happened?”

“I was thinking of entrusting you with a request that matches your talent. If things go well, I’ll take care of them so you won’t be disappointed.”

I thought for a while.

To receive a request proposal from Seolchaehwa. It was an event that was in the original story.

‘The problem is that if I don’t show a good side in this quest, I’ll be out of sight of her.’

She loves talented people and hates criminals. A person who doesn’t even remember his name against an incompetent person. That was the person Seol Chae-hwa.

“good. Then, if you have something to ask for, please contact me.”

The worry didn’t last long.

Making a connection with Seol Chae-hwa, one of the main heroines of Psychic Age, will make it easier to intervene in future main episodes.

That wasn’t the only reason. There were also money problems.

Even in the original game, players needed money to match expensive equipment and secure items. In that respect, Seolchaehwa’s quest event pays a pretty good reward.

I lightly called the number on her business card.

“That’s my number.”

“I saved it. I’ll probably be in touch soon. So, I hope you turn on your phone well.”

She returned to the multipurpose room with a foxy smile.

‘good. I think this is enough to connect with Seolchaehwa. Eom Na-yeon is basically sociable, so it’s easy to get close to her.’

If this is the case, will Min Seo-eun be the only one to solve it?

“omg!”

That time when I was trying to organize my head and move my steps again. A ghost appeared before my eyes.

“I… … .”

Of course, it couldn’t have been a ghost.

Dark hallway. It was just a drifting forest whose face was reflected by the light of the cell phone in his hand.

“what. How long have you been there?”

“I just came out by teleportation.”

I said, sweeping my chest in surprise.

“You were surprised to be standing there all of a sudden.”

“sorry.”

“So what is it? Do you want to see me too?”

After a long hesitation, she finally opened her mouth.

“Please give me your cell phone number too.”

“… … .”

“Since it’s the same all-rounder position… . I would like to contact you when you consult about a story related to him… … . Can’t we?”

Pyoyu-rim cowardly used a cheat.

The hardest magic word in the world for me to ignore. The moment the word ‘consultation’ popped out, I moved my hand before thinking.

“Now, here.”

I received Pyo Yu-rim’s cell phone, entered my phone number, and returned it. She stared blankly at the screen for a moment, then suddenly covered her face with her phone.

“… … .”

Between the face that is not completely covered, the corner of the mouth that shyly draws an arc comes into my eyes.

“I will go first. Have a good night.”

After Pyoyu-rim disappeared by teleportation again. I stood there blankly for a while.

‘I shouldn’t have given you a chance to get closer… .’

I tried to keep my distance because of the risk that the story might be twisted. I wanted to be late, but the bus had already left.

next day.

It was a day when I didn’t have to go to school, so I was enjoying a sweet morning sleep.

Tiri-ri-ring! Tiri-ri-ring!

“madam… . Who is this morning… … .”

Booth opened his eyes.

[Seolchaehwa]

For once, I was dumbfounded.

‘Is the standard for the near future that I know of was this short?’

It’s been less than 12 hours since I received the business card. I answered the phone only after letting out a long yawn.

“hello.”

“oh. Were you sleeping?」

“Tell me about your business.”

“I got a job. Could you take over the request right away?」

I closed my eyes again and asked in a hoarse voice.

“What kind of request is it?”

“It’s easy. It’s like scolding a child who doesn’t listen to their parents.”

“Why do you need me for that quest?”

“There is nothing like your ability to make people come to their senses, right? Please hypnotize me so that I can grow up a little.”

indeed. Seol Chae-hwa’s intentions were clearly visible.

‘Is it an intention to measure my ability through this request?’

I decided to accept

Just before that.

“How much will you give me?”

“Since we haven’t yet calculated how much your ransom is… . I would like to start with 10 million won.”

The drowsiness went away in an instant.

“Go right away. Where can I meet you?”

Burning 10 million won on a mere open-air request. She was like a girl from a rich family.
