Episode 269
“… … Mentor option? and. “I have to take first place in this one, right?”
At Kim Moon-tae’s words, a murmur of voices could be heard among the students.
Choice of mentors.
During the career experience, all students receive guidance from a mentor. And the mentor selection option was a privilege to be able to choose one’s own mentor.
Up to 3 people can participate per mentor
Therefore, in order to work with Seojun Lee in career experience, you must select a mentor.
“There are three mentor selection rights in total. Based on the training results, the 1st to 3rd place winners will be given mentor selection rights. Naturally, this mentor selection right also includes the right to choose a ‘special mission area.’”
As Kim Moon-tae continued his explanation, the students nodded with nervous faces.
“Okay, then we’ll move to another location for infiltration and camouflage training.”
With those words, Kim Moon-tae is going somewhere.
moved. The students looked closely and followed him.
The place where Kim Moon-tae arrived was the ‘special training site’ inside the multi-purpose training center.
As soon as I entered, various machines caught my eye.
And then there were rooms with modern backgrounds for each situation, as if we were there.
“So before you start training, what do you think is most necessary for penetration and camouflage?”
Kim Moon-tae looked around at everyone and asked. Then one student raised his hand and said,
said.
“It’s a cover-up!”
“That’s right. The most important thing in infiltration is not to be detected by the opponent. In other words, it can be said to be concealment. However, concealment also has its limits. Why? Because humans have something called ‘signals.’ And this machine is a machine that detects signs in the surroundings.”
When Kim Moon-tae pointed to the square machine and spoke, the students looked at him with curious eyes.
“Now, do you see the number 19 on the machine here?”
Kim Moon-tae said, pointing to the number ‘9’ written on the machine.
“This is a numerical expression of the presence detected in the surroundings. If I get closer like this——
At that moment, the number written on the machine rose to ’86’. As the distance got closer, the spirit increased.
“The number changes like this when it detects presence around it.”
“and. amazing.”
Yoon Ha-young, next to me, muttered quietly.
“Then, this time-
Kim Moon-tae closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them.
At the same time, the surrounding air flow changed.
Kim Moon-tae’s appearance was still clear, but his ‘presence’ was noticeably weaker than before.
He ‘concealed’ his presence using magical power.
“Now, do you see the numbers here?”
The number written as 86 changed to 17.
Students come. with a surprised voice
He lost his temper.
“This is one of the things you will learn today. “Using magical power to hide one’s presence through one’s will.”
Kim Moon-tae chuckled as he found the students’ reactions amusing.
“But as you can see, the concealment ability is not perfect. Even though I hid my presence as much as possible, the number 17 remains. However, just hiding my presence to this extent is a huge help in infiltration.”
After that, Kim Moon-tae started lecturing on how to hide one’s presence.
I have [Secret Footsteps] so it doesn’t mean much to me, but the class itself was interesting so I listened attentively.
“That’s all for the lecture. Then, we’ll practice for two hours from now and then start the test. The results of the test will be evaluated by the ‘Presence Detector’.”
“Lee Seo-jun is 24! “It is currently number one.”
“24? and… … “Of course it’s Seojun Lee.” Approximately 2 hours of personal practice time is over.
And the test began.
Students took turns demonstrating the presence detection skills they learned today in front of the ‘presence detector’.
The average score was in the 40s.
It’s not only because I just learned it today and I’m still not used to it, but also because artificially hiding one’s presence is difficult even for professional magicians.
“Lee Seo-jun is in first place. At that level, isn’t the mentor selection right already confirmed?”
“yes. Yua-ra also got 29 points, so it seems like she is confirmed as well. Ugh. “I knew it would be like this.”
“hey. Don’t be disappointed. The tests aren’t over yet. “You also have a stomach.”
At that time, I was hearing voices from people around me saying, “Oh, it’s easy” based on the test results.
After completing the test, Seojun Lee came and sat next to me.
I glanced at Seojun Lee and said.
“The choice is almost confirmed?”
“It’s not confirmed yet.”
Seojun Lee said with a smile. Then he glanced at me.
“Are you confident you’ll be in the top three?”
“Well, we’ll have to try it to find out.”
I’m confident that I can hide my presence using [Secret Steps]. The problem is ‘disguised acting’.
From what I remember, I have to play an employee who deals with terrorists, but I don’t know if I can do it well.
“Hmm. Really? Then do you have a mentor in mind?”
“Magician Kim Deok-Hyeon.”
Kim Deok-hyeon.
‘Seoul’ where the world’s best elites gather
Even in ‘Special Team’, he is considered the veteran of veterans.
Since he was the mentor chosen by Lee Seo-jun in the original work, it would be right for me to follow suit.

Seojun Lee must have been surprised by my answer and looked at me with curious eyes.
“Really? I’m thinking about him too. It’s really amazing. How come the choices overlap every time?”
That’s because I follow you around like a stalker.
At that time, Yoo Ah-ra, who was sitting with Yoon Ha-young not far away, glanced at us.
He looked and approached me.
“… … what? “Are you guys targeting wizard Kim Deok-hyeon too?”
“Yeah. You too?”
Yuara nodded slightly in response to Seojun Lee’s question.
“Well, since you are skilled and have a lot of experience in the special task force… …
Lee Seo-jun nodded in agreement with Yoo Ah-ra’s words.
At that moment, Yuara looked at my face with an anxious expression and asked.
“… … Are you going to come in first place?”
He’s asking that question again.
Don’t they usually ask things like, “Are you confident that you’ll get first place on this test?” or “Are you aiming for first place?”?
“How can you always ask as if you can be first at any time?”
“Well, I’ve never failed a non-combat related test like this before.”
… … Did I? Now that I think about it, it seems like that might have been the case.
At that moment, Yuara muttered to herself with a serious expression on her face.
“Oh no. If Kim Seon-woo gets 1st place, I
will be pushed to 3rd place… … and there are 3 choices… … uhm… …
Yuara muttered in an anxious voice. I chuckled while looking at that.
It seems that he is anxious that he will not be selected through this test.
Well, Yoo Ah-ra has been very interested in special affairs for a long time.
“Kim Seon-woo from Class A.”
At that moment, I heard Kim Moon-tae’s voice calling me.
At the same time, all the students turned to me with expectant eyes. For sure
As I’ve been very active lately, expectations for me are no less than those for Lee Seo-jun.
“Have a nice trip.”
“uh.”
I walked up to the machine.
Then the number ’84’ appeared on the machine.
“Then try to hide your presence right away.”
“yes.”
I immediately activated [Secret Steps].
I even thought about not using the trait
However, since it would be a huge loss if I clumsily hid my presence and lost the right to choose a mentor, I had no choice but to use the trait.
and.
When the trait was activated, everyone looked surprised.
Kim Moon-tae also looked at me with wide eyes. Then he turned his gaze to the machine.
“……What’s this.”
Kim Moon-tae muttered blankly. Then he came to his senses and spoke to me.
“… … Ahem. Kim Seon-woo. Hiding his presence
Your talent is amazing. “You are number one.”
I nodded and turned my gaze to the machine.
The number [6] was written on the machine. I thought it was a bit excessive, but it was better than not being in the top three.
After the ‘Concealment of Presence’ test, the next lesson announced, ‘Disguise Agent’ practice, began.
The training method was like this.
They created a situation similar to an actual terrorist attack and gave it the setting of having people disguise themselves as employees or ordinary citizens and infiltrate the place.
Many students felt embarrassed about having to act and read a script.
However, because the ‘mentor selection’ was at stake, the students endured their shame and acted.
“… … uh. “What should I give you?”
One student’s performance erupted in laughter from those around him. The serious atmosphere of the test has disappeared due to the continued fuming.
Radha.
Kim Moon-tae, who did not like that sight, sighed deeply.
“… … “Where are you playing a medieval clerk?”
“……no.”
“Come in.”
“… … yes.”
“Ugh. “How can there not be a single guy I like?”
Kim Moon-tae, who was mumbling to himself, looked around at everyone and said.
“Don’t think of it as acting, just do it naturally.
“Just do it. I’m not asking you to act like an actor. Is it that hard to just say something like, ‘Hello, customer.’?”
At those words, Lee Seo-jun also smiled bashfully. This is because 5 minutes ago, Lee Seo-jun also showed off his acting skills and got criticized.
“… … Next, Kim Seon-woo.”
When my name was called, I heard laughter from people around me.
“Kim Sun-woo, even if he’s good at everything else, don’t you think he can’t act?”
“That’s right. Didn’t you see the documentary last year? You must have been nervous because your speech was strange.”
“Oh crazy. I remembered. I felt like the way he spoke was very annoying. “Tsk tsk.”
I frowned.
… … What’s wrong with my speech?
“Seonwoo. “No matter what you do, I won’t laugh!”
Hayoung Yoon seemed to have heard voices chatting around her and spoke comfortingly.
“Okay, don’t be nervous and just relax.”
Seojun Lee, who was next to him, also helped. I’m worried that I’ll be embarrassed, perhaps because of last year’s documentary.
It seems like it has been decided.
It’s not particularly comforting.
I nodded and came forward to stand at the employee desk.
“Okay, Kim Seon-woo. It’s the same employee role as before. The me in front of you right now is a terrorist. As I said before, dealing with terrorists in this undercover manner is absolutely necessary to minimize damage to the citizens. Don’t think of it as useless work and take it seriously.”
“……yes.”
I looked over the script.
The menu for responding to regular store employees was written there.
To be exact, it was not a manual for a completely ordinary employee, but it contained instructions on how to naturally lead a conversation with a terrorist, how to buy time, how to gain trust, and how to subdue them.
“Have you memorized the entire script?”
I nodded.
“yes.”
“Okay, good. If you’re ready, give me the script.
Let go and start right away.”
I nodded, closed my eyes, and sighed heavily.
“ Phew……
Yeah, let’s not embarrass ourselves.
Normally. Naturally, without being tense.
I thought I had become a real employee… … .
It was then.
[Latent individuality, ‘over-immersion’ is triggered.]
Suddenly, overindulgence was triggered.
At the same time, as I realized that I had become an employee, I was able to immerse myself in the role of an employee even in this situation where I was receiving everyone’s attention.
I opened my eyes and smiled kindly.
“Oh. What is it? Your expression?”
“Just looking at your expression, you seem incredibly kind?”
I heard surprised voices from around me, but I opened my mouth without paying attention.
“Hello. Do you have a reservation?”
Soft, kind words that didn’t sound like my own came out of my mouth.
The first words I heard were from the friendly waiter himself.
And now the atmosphere here has changed from a ‘training center’ to a ‘restaurant’.
Even the students who were laughing and talking were looking at me with serious eyes at some point.
Kim Moon-tae also looked at me with embarrassed eyes, forgetting his role as a terrorist.
Perhaps he was embarrassed by my possessed method acting, which was probably caused by his over-immersion nature.
[You have achieved the ‘Awesome performance that overwhelms the audience’ achievement.]
[You will receive 5,000 points as a reward.]
Even got points. That’s a whopping 5,000 points. But now I am immersed in my role.
There was no time to rejoice over earning points.
Kim Moon-tae, who had been staring at me like that, opened his mouth.
“… … “Kim Seon-woo.”
What the heck? Normally, the next terrorist line should come out. Are you acting like that because you’re so surprised by my acting?
“It’s okay to overindulge, but refrain from ad-libbing. The next line is ‘Hello. “I’ll show you where to sit.”
ah.
The extra who returned becomes a genius
