“Colleague?”
Cheon Gu-nam asked back in a bewildered manner.
Dokgo Jun still had a bright smile on his face.
“Yeah. I think you’re close to being the main character.”
hero.
At those words, Cheon Gu-nam’s face suddenly became smug.
‘Dokgo Jun, his personality is a bit strange, but he is a strong awakener. He cleared the first room the second time.’
I don’t know what the main character Dokgo Jun is talking about, but I could tell that he was thinking highly of me.
Cheon Gu-nam spoke with an arrogant expression on his face without realizing it.
“Well, that’s not wrong.”
“Then shall we talk? Since we’re going to be colleagues, we should become closer.”
“Okay. First, let me check the first raid rewards… … .”
Cheon Gu-nam checked the reward with an excited face.
But as soon as he saw the contents, his face hardened.
The item that arrived to him was a ‘fortune-telling book.’
It was an item that awakened one’s own fortune.
‘I don’t really need this item?’
The ‘Sajuchang Appraisal Certificate’ is an item that allows you to continue to act as an Awakened Person even after leaving the educational facility.
It didn’t really work on Cheon Gu-nam, who had ‘Suspicion’.
I might be able to sell it outside, but there wasn’t much profit to be made right now.
Cheon Gu-nam’s face hardened at the reward being less valuable than expected.
In the meantime, Dokgo Jun spoke to me from the side.
“Why? What’s going on?”
“Oh, no. It’s nothing.”
“Then let’s talk. I’d like to know about your past and your military history.”
Dokgo Jun dragged him away with an excited look on his face.
Seo Kang-rim was looking down at the two people from the second floor.
Things were going as planned.
‘This time, is Cheon Gu-nam the main character?’
Seo Kang-rim had no intention of losing or winning his bet with Dokgo Jun.
If he had won the bet, Dokgo Jun would have become even more convinced that he was a regressor.
‘Even if Dokgo Jun had won, I would still have been interested.’
That’s why a third party needed to be the first to attack.
The person Seo Kang-rim targeted was Cheon Gu-nam.
Seo Kang-rim put crystal ice in a frog skin and placed it in the corpse’s stomach.
In case you don’t find them, there are several of them in their stomachs.
And he led Cheon Gu-nam to become the first attacker.
‘Dokgo Jun’s face was amazing back then.’
When Cheon Gu-nam became the first attacker, Dokgo Jun was very embarrassed.
And then the moment I saw Seo Kang-rim, who was injured.
A clear disappointment flashed across Dokgo Jun’s eyes.
‘It seemed like even Cheon Gu-nam couldn’t read my fate. I’m glad that Sajoo Hosin-boo came out.’
There was an amulet attached to the inside of Seo Kang-rim’s clothes.
═══════════════
[Item] Four Pillars of Destiny Amulet
[Rank] Ghostly Item
[Description] Protects part of the fortune in the four pillars of destiny, preventing others from reading it.
═══════════════
Now Cheon Gu-nam will no longer be able to look into Seo Kang-rim’s fortune telling.
Also, Dokgo Jun would take care of dealing with Cheon Gu-nam.
[Check the compatibility of the four pillars of destiny of the target ‘Cheon Gu-nam’ and ‘Dokgo Jun’.]
[Because they don’t match each other, a serious conflict is expected in this relationship. Dokgo Jun’s energy will overcome Cheon Gu Nam, causing a negative influence on Cheon Gu Nam.]
[‘Cheon Gu-nam’ and ‘Dokgo Jun’ are entangled in a bad relationship.]
Just as Shin Soo-ah gives birth to Seo Kang-rim’s fate, there are also relationships where they overcome each other.
Just like Cheon Gu-nam and Dokgo Jun.
‘For the time being, Dokgo Jun will lose interest in me. I will also take good care of Cheon Gu Nam.’
While Seo Kang-rim was thinking like that, Cheon Gu-nam felt an inexplicable eerieness.
He looked back, but there was no one there.
* * *
Annabi was sitting in her office in District 2, dealing with a flood of messages.
Even before the day of awakening came, there was a lot to do, but after the Awakened ones appeared, things became even busier.
‘There’s never a shortage of things to do.’
Annabi, the youngest of Team 2, was in charge of all the odd jobs.
In charge of educating the unaware.
When the order to exterminate the demons came down, the troops were dispatched, and there were also additional instructions from the princess’s deputy.
[Keep an eye on that guy, Seo Kang-rim, and if you notice anything, report it immediately.]
That’s why Annabi was so busy keeping an eye on Seo Kang-rim even during break time.

Fortunately, after conquering Dosan’s room, Seo Kang-rim was completing his training course normally without any special incidents.
If there was a problem, it was on the other side.
‘Today was an emergency meeting.’
Yesterday, Hwatang’s room was raided.
This was also much faster than expected.
That incident led to an emergency meeting being called.
Annabi was walking towards the conference room.
I saw someone banging his head against the wall.
Annabi cautiously spoke to Joo Sungtae, who was practicing perfection.
“Excuse me, Senior Joo Sung-tae… … ?”
Then Joo Sung-tae turned his head and looked at Annabi.
His face looked pale, as if he hadn’t slept well last night.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s not okay.”
The person who will be criticized the most in this situation is Joo Seong-tae, the planner of the magic show.
Of course, if Joo Sung-tae gets cursed at, it also affects Anna Bi.
Last time, Annabi worked until dawn to capture Dosan Mujang, who Joo Sungtae had to capture.
Joo Sung-tae shouted with a tearful face.
“This is why I hate Koreans! Even if you make a game with a play time of one week, you still finish it in one day!”
“Senior, you are also Korean.”
“I hate it anyway!”
I can understand to some extent why Joo Sung-tae is acting up like this.
It was Joo Sung-tae who remodeled the second room all night with the permission of Team Leader Gongju.
But it was conquered in the first round.
“Let’s go first.”
Annabi headed to the conference room, calming down Joo Sungtae who was running wild.
The only people who received the call today were Annabi, who was in charge of education, and Sungtae Joo, who was in charge of planning.
A moment later, as the clock struck the hour, the door burst open.
She was the princess team leader.
He walked over without saying a word and sat down at the head of the table.
The atmosphere became heavy.
He didn’t say anything, but you could tell just from his expression how angry he was.
It felt more like a funeral home than a conference room.
“I heard that the Hwatang room was conquered on the first try. Was the conqueror Seo Kang-rim?”
In response to the princess’ question, Annabi quickly opened the file and said.
“No. I am a trainee named Cheon Gu-nam.”
Cheon Gu-nam’s profile appeared in the air, but the princess only glanced at it and did not look at it any further.
His gaze was fixed on Joo Sung-tae.
“If Seo Kang-rim had attacked, I would have thought that he was special in some way.”
Joo Sung-tae remained silent as if he had committed a serious crime.
The princess asked Annabi.
“Is Cheon Gu-nam worth the price?”
“No, it’s personal.”
In the suffocating air, Joo Sung-tae was just observing.
It felt like walking on thin ice.
“What about attributes and abilities?”
“I use the ability called Water Grenade in the water attribute. It is a water-type attack ability.”
“The conditions are such that it will be easy to conquer Hwatang’s room.”
Cheon Gu-nam may have conquered it with his own strength.
Joo Sung-tae’s face brightened a little at that possibility.
The princess continued listening to the circumstances.
“Did you hear the story of how Cheon Gu-nam cleared Hwa-tang’s room?”
“Yes. But he said something a little… strange.”
“Strange words?”
Annabi nodded and answered.
“I think there was a misunderstanding. While killing fireflies, I found one that swallowed crystal ice.”
“what?”
Both the princess and Joo Sung-tae looked like they didn’t understand what he was saying.
Fire frogs can eat crystal ice.
Because it was a magic mirror designed from the beginning to make the fire frog rush towards the crystal ice.
“The frogs won’t be able to approach the ice cave, right? You’ve set up a totem pole.”
The protective effect of the jangseung would have prevented fire frogs from finding and eating the crystal ice in the cave.
The princess muttered as if she found it strange.
“Then, does that mean that someone other than Cheon Gu-nam was trying to find the crystal ice and get it, but it was stolen by a fire frog… ?”
He thought deeply about something and asked Annabi.
“Who accompanied Cheon Gu-nam?”
“That’s the student Seo Kang-rim.”
“Seo Kang-rim… …?”
The princess’s eyebrows twitched when Seo Kang-rim’s name was mentioned.
Joo Sung-tae thought the princess would get angry again, but the princess only had a worried expression on her face.
“Was it Seo Kang-rim who discovered the Crystal Ice Cave? If he has the ability to foresee the future… … .”
The princess’s eyes shone fiercely.
Only a very small number of people have abilities related to foresight.
If there really was an ability related to predicting the future, it had to be obtained from the Fate Protection Agency.
Joo Sung-tae observed his expression and asked carefully.
“Then, should I ask the director to check the fortune-telling?”
“No. Not now. If Seo Kang-rim isn’t a prophet, it’ll only get more difficult.”
The Seer was also the director of the Fate Guardians.
Even now, the director has no free time as he is holding secret meetings with the government.
In the meantime, I called a visionary and checked the fortune-telling, but what if Seo Kang-rim’s fortune-telling is nothing special?
It was clear that the princess’s condition would only get worse.
Then Annabi carefully observed the atmosphere and spoke.
“I don’t think so. I checked and the jangseung was damaged, allowing the demon to approach the entrance.”
If the jangseung was damaged, it ultimately meant that it was a mistake on the planning side.
The princess sighed as if to say, “I had hoped so.”
Joo Sung-tae shouted as if he was being treated unfairly.
“No! Jangseung has placed it without any problems.”
“First, repair the jangseung, then write a report and submit it.”
“Team Leader! The fact that we were able to conquer the area faster than expected means that we have many capable trainees on our side… … .”
-bang!
When the princess slammed the table hard, Joo Sung-tae flinched and closed his mouth.
Joo Sung-tae still had a look of resentment on his face.
The princess said, glaring at Ju Seong-tae.
“Joo Sung-tae, can you take responsibility for that statement? There is no problem with the plan, and there are many capable trainees. Can we just go through the third door?”
“That, that… … .”
“If that happens and all the trainees are wiped out, can you really take responsibility then?”
It was a chilling voice, like someone stabbing a knife.
The princess’s sharp eyes shone through the glass orbs.
“From the third time onwards, you will enter the real Demon Realm. If you enter the third gate without enough skill and die, can you take responsibility?”
The first and second magic realms are a kind of training ground artificially created by the Fate Protectorate.
We have created many places to rest and put safety measures in place.
But from the third time onwards, we will have to endure only with the power of the Awakened.
“Besides, it could cause problems for my career.”
The princess was more worried about the Awakened dying than about her own reputation going down because of the Awakened dying.
“While our side is dying due to lack of skill, the other teams will be steadily raising their trainees. If we are pushed by Team 1… … .”
In addition to the two districts currently under the princess’s care, there were teams that raised trainees.
The team leaders of each team are in a kind of competitive relationship, and the better the results they produce, the higher the evaluation of each team leader goes.
For various reasons, we could not send trainees who were less prepared to the next stage.
He pressed his temples as if his head was throbbing.
“If we continue like this, the dropout rate will be high. First, let’s extend the waiting period for the third inquiry.”
“Are you okay?”
“There’s nothing I can do. I’ll talk to my superiors.”
The princess stood up from her seat as if she had finished talking.
He looked back and said as he was walking towards the exit.
“And keep an eye on Seo Kang-rim.”
After leaving that order, he left the conference room.
Joo Sung-tae bit his teeth.
‘There’s definitely nothing wrong with the jangseung. I’ve checked it several times… …!’
He opened the file with a gaze filled with hatred.
Joo Sung-tae started to look through Seo Kang-rim’s profile while looking at her photo.
‘Seo Kang-rim, that guy is suspicious… …!’
