In the middle of the night.
Velvet Hunter Academy’s director’s office.
Lina looked at the woman in front of her with a bewildered expression.
“······So, Seolhee. “You got stronger?”
According to Lina’s judgment, Baek Seol-hee was blocked by a wall between criminals and transcendents.
To become stronger than this, it is impossible through normal methods.
In other words, it was a situation that required a ‘miracle’.
It couldn’t have been absurd that Baek Seol-hee suddenly became stronger and came to see me.
Lina’s eyes narrowed as she looked at Baek Seol-hee.
Let’s check her mana she like that.
In fact, I could see that her energy surrounding her had become darker and denser.
‘······You’ve really become stronger, haven’t you? Even noticeably?’
Jump up
“W-What on earth happened?-!! Unless I catch some kind of demon on my own—!!!”
Lina jumped up from her seat and asked, but Baek Seol-hee pretended not to hear her.
I yawned with a calm face.
“Haam...”
Then she covered her mouth with her hand.
That awkward gesture that looks like someone is trying to show their hand
Shiny!
A beautiful pink jewel sparkled in her hand.
‘······This guy?’
Lina was able to quickly realize that this was related to Jin Yuha.
Normally, when something happens, he tackles the topic directly, as if he doesn’t even care about the relationship between superiors and subordinates.
It was because whenever she had something to brag about Jin Yu-ha, she did something absurd like this.
Baek Seol-hee enjoyed bragging about Jin Yu-ha like this.
Even though I’m not good at it!
Lina’s stomach boiled as she watched Baek Seol-hee’s actions
However, this time the reason for the boiling was a little different than usual.
‘That was the artifact’s ability...?’
Lina recalled the events of a few hours ago with a stiff expression on her face.

“What is this... The Utopia guys received the lowest level request? And you leave on the same day you receive the request...?”
Chairman Lina was struggling with hundreds of reports coming in every day.
Among them, matters related to utopia were given top priority.
A group of deviants who always make her head tingle!
However, I couldn’t treat them carelessly just because they were Chairman Lina.
In fact, although Utopia is a relatively new party, its achievements so far have been considerable.
Because each and every one of those achievements was extraordinary.
Even if you just vaguely think of what comes to mind.
Eliminating demons at the beginning of school.
Eradication of corruption in the Hunter Management Bureau.
Preventing Cadet Disasters in Midterm Assessments.
Also recently, the Blue Crab Wave.
In terms of experience alone, it was comparable to a mid-level famous party.
Those guys are still in their first year, and it’s only been half a year since they formed.
I was shocked.
Even Chairman Rina personally owed quite a lot of debt in the mid-term evaluation.
Therefore, I had no choice but to comply with their requests as long as they did not violate the school rules!
‘So I thought it was inevitable even if I had to completely wipe out the missions this time...’
From noble mtl dot com
Suddenly, the first request is the lowest level.
There is only one waiting request: the quest to exterminate American monsters?
‘What on earth are you thinking... ?’
I did not really believe the addition written at the end of the report, ‘It appears to be to be considerate of other new and senior parties.’
What kind of guy is Jin Yu-ha, who is at the center of that utopia?
‘I don’t know about anyone else, but it’s Jin Yu-ha. That guy never does anything to lose money.’
From the first day of school, I confessed my subspace tattoo to myself.
As if that wasn’t enough, every time a party member is added, they regularly receive a subspace tattoo.
Recently, even at home.
But at the same time, Lina recognized him.
Because the direction of the utopia he leads is not wrong.
Although the method may have been monopolistic, the direction is always toward noble heroism.
‘Hmm, anyway, there must be some intention here... What is that?’
It was time to carefully study the report and continue to worry.
Tiring─♬
A bell suddenly rings.
‘·······What?’
Honestly, I don’t even know how long it’s been since I last heard the notification sound.
Since I had already joined the ranks of transcendents, I had no contact with them at all, so it had been almost 10 years.
Because of this, Lina actually raised her guard her.
Wow─
Then, I felt some foreign energy trying to penetrate my mana.
Lina’s face her her her, which was searching for that energy, became stiff.
‘······This is the energy of a demon!!!’
Grrrr rrrr rrrr-!
How long has it been since we’ve been attacked by a demon?
Of course, with a single gesture from Lina, that energy disappeared without a trace.
Her vigilance was at its peak.
‘······This is the energy of a demon trying to invade me. This could be dangerous for children.’
It was only a few hours ago that I made that decision...
The cause has come before your eyes!
Chairman Lina’s eyes narrowed as she looked at Baek Seol-hee’s finger
‘A group of artifacts filled with the energy of demons...’
Fortunately, there was no evil intent behind it.
Nevertheless, it is an absurd object with the power of a powerful demon completely embedded in it.
‘······Well, Jin Yuha that guy. Where did they catch the demon again this time?’
In fact, the ‘power’ of the demons is the realm of miracles.
Even if it were for me, a transcendent person, it wouldn’t have been particularly useful,
Baek Sul-hee, who straddles that border, would boast the highest efficiency.
‘······What on earth is that guy?’
I went to receive the lowest level request and came back hunting demons.
When she thought of that ugly face, her head started pounding again.
While Lina continued her thoughts.
Baek Seol-hee continued to do absurd things in front of Lina.
Or suddenly running her her hand her through her her hair her her with her ring on it.
Look at the hangnails on the tips of her fingernails and blow them with her mouth.
Suddenly looking at her window and touching her lips
It’s a bonus to point the ring on her finger to Lina every time.
She continued to behave like that without saying anything, but honestly, it was extremely annoying.
‘······You’re so ugly that I can’t look at you. I also received it! I got it too!’
Of course, I rejected it because it was a suspicious demonic energy! And even if I did get it, it wouldn’t have been particularly useful to me, who was already in the ranks of transcendents!
But!
I received that too!
However, explaining it to Baek Seol-hee also seemed a bit awkward.
Lina glared at her ring her, which Baek Seol-hee was showing off, and moved her her hand her her her her her, which was hidden under her desk her her her her.
Wow─
‘Like this······. Did it happen?’
No matter how much Lina could not copy her demon power
Copying only the appearance of an artifact is a piece of cake.
Sigh.
After finishing her work under the desk in the blink of an eye, Lina slowly raised her hand to the top of the desk.
Stop.
Then, for a moment, Baek Seol-hee’s body stiffened, as if time had stopped alone
However, the trembling of her eyes as she glared fiercely at her hands told me that time was passing.
Baek Seol-hee, who had been staring at her for a while, pointed to Lina’s hand and parted her lips.
“······That.”
In response, Lina naturally raised her hand.
“Ah, you mean this? Hmm, just now something like this suddenly appeared in my hand.”
“How much, how strong have you become...”
Baek Seol-hee asked in a stiff voice.
‘How strong have you become...?’
Well, if you roughly estimate the extent to which Baek Seol-hee has become stronger, it is about 4%.
Still, she is a superior, so shouldn’t she be higher than that?
“Hmm, roughly... Chi, it’s about seven percent.”
She consciously raised only 3% more than Baek Sul-hee.
“······7%?”
Nevertheless, Baek Seol-hee’s voice was cold and subdued.
Lina felt something was wrong there, but she couldn’t pick up the words she had already spit out.
“Yes, yes! “7%!”
Puzzle─
For some reason, Baek Seol-hee made a scary face and glared at Lina.
“······Seo, Seolhee?”
Chairman Lina sensed something was not right, so she called Baek Seol-hee.
Swish!
Baek Seol-hee jumped out through the window.
“······Why on earth are you doing that?”
Lina didn’t know that the power of that artifact was determined by Jin Yuha’s favorability, so she said that.
There was no one there to answer that.
* * *
Meanwhile, Utopia returned to Velvet Academy late at night after finishing her schedule.
As soon as Shin Se-hee heard the news of Utopia’s return, she jumped out like a bullet.
And a new face to face.
A small girl with long blue hair down to her waist.
I couldn’t tell what the emotionless expression was thinking.
“······Ichika, sir? Hello?”
“Yes, hello...”
Ichika waves his hand helplessly and says hello.
‘This woman is a new special...?’
I knew that someday there would be a new person in an empty special position.
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freewebnovel.cσ๓.
But, so quickly...?
‘You never said anything like this...!’
For some reason, Shin Se-hee felt aggrieved and glared at Jin Yu-ha.
Clearly, she gave up her regrets and became an operator of her own volition.
A feeling of inexplicable disappointment, as if her place had been taken away.
However, this should not be revealed outwardly. Showing off...
Shin Se-hee bit her lip gently, suppressing the rising emotions.
“I’m sorry.”
“······Yes?”
Meanwhile, Jin Yu-ha suddenly offers an apology.
“Well, what am I sorry about...?”
“I didn’t expect that Ichika would become a special person in our party. This is real.”
“······You didn’t expect that?”
“Yes, this was completely unplanned. If I had known in advance, I would have let you know first. Because we have to discuss it together.”
Jin Yuha sincerely apologized to himself.
Sarrr─
That alone made me feel a little sad and disappointed.
Jin Yuha scratched his cheek and continued speaking as if that wasn’t the end.
“And, um, special is a bit of a special position, right? Since it is a position where you deal with many people at once, there is a lot of compatibility.”
“Yes······. “If the compatibility is not right, there are many cases where it becomes a burden.”
Shin Se-hee shook her head.
“Ugh... Now our Utopia will also utilize special positions.”
“Hmm, yes, then I guess I’ll have to plan something a little different than before.”
“Uh, um. That’s why I’m saying this, but sometimes there are strategies that Ichika can’t do.”
“······Yes?”
“As I said, special positions are compatible. If······. If it’s okay, then, Shin Se-hee, can you jump into a special combat position once in a while?”
“······Me, me?”
“Oh, of course! Although I plan to refrain from interfering with your work! If you’re too busy, it’s okay to decline!”
Let Jin Yuha say that.
Shin Se-hee’s heart became completely soft like melted pudding.
‘I guess I’m too easy of a woman...’
“Keuhum...!”
Shin Se-hee felt embarrassed and cleared her throat.
“Ah, I get it. If you request, I will also play a combat role from time to time. Of course, only when I’m not busy with work!”
She said it gently, but Shin Se-hee had no intention of refusing.
Once the situation was resolved.
The next thing that came to mind was about a ring that suddenly appeared.
“However... Mr. Jin Yuha, I want to ask you about this... “
It was then.
Whick—!
“Kyaaa!?”
A person suddenly appeared between Shin Se-hee and Jin Yu-ha.
“Disciple, I have something important to say.”
“Uh, Master?”
“Please follow me for a moment.”
It was Baek Seol-hee.
