chapter 68
68 – Discipline 24. The Leading Manager Follows Through to the End (5)
It’s been a few days.
She searched everywhere to find her white paper, but she was still lost.
She even went to see Han Seo-jin just in case, but she was still in a state of decision.
Seeing the penalty last this long, it seemed like he had no intention of returning even though the penalty had already ended.
In the end, I had to find the white paper myself.
While passing along the road, my legs felt weak.
I focused on the exterior wall of the building. For some reason, I couldn’t get any strength into my body.
I lowered my head and looked down at my legs.
When I hit the leg hard with my fist, it started to move.
You need to find a white paper.
When you try to move your legs again with only that thought in mind.
“Manager!”
Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard.
When I turned my head towards the voice, I saw the leading executives.
Am I hallucinating?
There is no way those kids can find me.
… No.
It was a clear reality.
The leadership executives found me.
“You… ?”
“What is this!?”
Ha Yesong shouted in a worried voice. Park Min-hyuk, who was standing behind her, looked at me and became restless.
“You… “Have you eaten?”
Yudoha came closer and asked.
It was only then that I realized that I had forgotten about hunger and sleep for several days.
Suddenly I came to my senses.
First born in this world.
After a time when I felt like I was losing my mind, I met Kim Dal-bi.
After she lost Dalbi, she searched desperately for him.
I felt like I was going crazy thinking that that time might repeat itself, so I was wandering around like crazy.
Minhyuk grabbed my arm.
“Chief, let’s go take a shower. Eat rice too. And… “Please tell me what’s going on.”
It was a serious tone.
I quietly looked at the executives.
I don’t know if it was any other matter, but in this matter, I thought I didn’t want to involve them.
Even if the plan was to deal with the principal and other villains by dealing with the leadership department, this case had too close a relationship with the principal.
The level of risk was different than ever before.
I couldn’t offer to go into hellfire with me just because I was looking for the white paper.
I didn’t even have time to organize my thoughts.
Because my mind was full of thoughts about having to find the white paper.
“Are you looking for a husband and wife manager?”
At that time, the words Doha said took my nerves.
It seemed like everyone had already figured it out.
“… Yes.”
I nodded.
Doha closed his eyes for a moment and elegantly brushed his bangs.
“As expected, something happened. Then it’s okay to be angry.”
“What?”
Tap!
“Ugh!”
Doha pushed Minhyuk aside and came right in front of my nose.
“Hey, Ahn Woo-jin. Look at me.”
Suddenly, cross veins appeared on Doha’s forehead.
The guy glared at me with murderous eyes.
“Do we look easy? “It’s obvious something happened to the deputy manager, but you didn’t even tell us?”
“Doha Jjing, the manager’s condition right now…”
“You’re out of your mind, you b*stard.”
Doha grabbed the back of my head and pulled my head.
It’s as if he wants you to look straight into my eyes.
“Listen… ! If you are a leading manager, treat the kids like a manager. Just by looking at it, it looks like the vice-president is caught up in something dangerous, but if you are the only one who notices and says you will do it all by yourself, then why are we here? Huh!?”
“Ugh, Doha! Calm down, calm down… !”
As Do-ha’s emotions began to intensify, Min-hyuk was embarrassed and tried to persuade her.
But Doha paid no attention.
“Chief, we are here to help you. If I get an order from you, I can jump into a minefield. Because you are that kind of person to me… ! The same goes for these guys. “It’s not that different!”
“No matter what, the minefield is a bit…”
“Shut up, Hayesong.”
For a moment, my mind went wild.
“… Ha.”
Three executives came into view at once.
Unlike when I was looking for Kim Dal-bi, there were people I could rely on now.
I hope they can help me, but I think I might not be able to find the white paper on my own.
Is it really a reasonable decision to throw them away, hoping that they will be safe?
Was I the only one who gave meaning to the white paper and acted foolishly and selfishly?
“I’m sorry.”
Maybe it was because I came to my senses that I had the opposite thought later.
If I’m worried that the principal will harm them, wouldn’t it be okay for me to protect them?
I am already reaping the results of constantly repeating magic exercises when I was young, and I am rapidly becoming stronger.
And let’s be honest with ourselves.
“… Help me. “Please.”
I was helpless alone.
Help was desperately needed.
Yesong to my words, Minhyuk nodded his head as if he had been waiting.
“Hmph, what an idiot.”
Doha snorted and got away from me.
…
During vacation, Asung High School was quiet.
The night was already deep.
After washing in the shower room and changing into spare school uniform, we gathered with the executives in the leadership department executive room.
Among them, only the white paper was missing.
“Manager, this is my precious pizza bread! They even have apple juice! “I have no choice but to give it to you because the manager’s condition is a mess?”
“Thank you.”
“Well, I’ll cover this debt later with the special cheese crust steak shrimp pizza?”
“… “Isn’t the profit margin calculation too bad?”
“Huheung. Are you still there, manager? Let’s think about the principles of supply and demand. Currently, the manager says that calorie intake is important, and not only is it far away from the food supply source, but these are not even business hours…”
Damn.
I bought several pieces of bread and triangle kimbap using a space leap.
“This is shameful! That’s foul!”
“Where are you going?”
“Where did you buy it!?”
“24-hour convenience store.”
“What about my pizza!?”
“What pizza?”
I took a bite of bread while looking at the trembling Yesong.
I ate bread and triangle gimbap without stopping. I had to quickly fill my empty stomach and gain energy.
Even so, she did not gobble down the food. This was because the elegance she had honed to become a leading manager was ingrained in her.
Minhyuk was impressed by the sight of me quickly my meal with a polite attitude, and then expressed his doubts by saying, ‘Huh?’
“For some reason, haven’t you felt better, Manager? He was told he would need about two weeks to recover in the hospital… ? “You suddenly ran out of the hospital and treatment stopped midway, right?”
“It just made me recover faster. It probably happened as the hierarchy rose.”
“It’s incredible… As expected, you are the manager…”
My resilience was at a high level, worthy of the 6th rank.
By estimate, about 80% has already recovered easily.
I was surprised too.
“By the way, Manager. Shouldn’t you have changed your clothes? “If you walk around looking like that in a patient’s uniform, no one can tell you that you look like someone who just escaped from a mental hospital?”
“So, did you take a picture earlier?”
“Hey, Minhyuk. “How could you not film such a precious scene?”
Ha Yesong It looks like this b*stard was sitting there taking my picture.
Swish!
“Oh, Doha Jjing!?”
Doha suddenly took Yesong’s smartphone and deleted the photos from the gallery.
“I erased it, manager.”
“Well done.”
Yesong cried out sadly, “aaah!”
After a while.
I filled my stomach to some extent.
“Have you eaten everything?”
“Huh. By the way, why are you eating?”
“It looks like you have a lot to eat, so I wanted to help you…” ” ” ?”
Yes ate the cream bread and answered as if it were obvious. There was white cream around her mouth.
Looking at the empty bags piled up in front of Yeson, it seemed like she helped a lot.
She didn’t seem worth dealing with.
“More than that, you.”
He looked at Yesong, Minhyuk, and Doha and said.
Now that her stomach was full, she decided to ask what she was curious about.
“How did you find me?”
The three executives exchanged glances, and Yesong responded as the representative.
“You know Isea? That kid from the service department. Manager’s ideal type.”
“Not my ideal type.”
“Let’s say no. Anyway, he told me the manager’s location. “I found it by chance, but they said it didn’t look like anything.”
“…”
“Then, I found the manager with Doha’s ability.”
Yesong pointed to her own eyes and then she pointed to mine.
It meant that he had discovered it by strengthening his eyesight with Doha’s unique ability Her, Laplace’s Demon.
‘As expected, it was Lee Se-ah.’
I guessed it.
A junior who will meet a mysterious death in the second semester.
Lee Se-ah.
For some reason, that girl was stalking me instead of stalking me.
Even if it’s not stalking, they’re keeping a close eye on my information.
I don’t know where or how, but it didn’t seem like it was intended to cause harm, so I left it there.
In the first place, we knew that we were watching each other closely.
Sigh. I immediately took out my smartphone and called Se-ah Lee.
I sat down at my work desk while the ringtone rang.
Soon, the call was connected.
─ Wow, Senior Woojin? What are you doing at night?
Se-Ah’s sly voice rang in my ears.
“Where are you?”
─ Hey~, Manager Seondo is looking for me. Is this something you have to live to see?
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
─ You probably know everything anyway, right? You are my stalker.
“…”
That’s it.
Let’s not talk.
“You said you found me and informed the leadership?”
─ Yes, the way you walk around in a hospital uniform with eyes filled with madness, makes you look like someone who escaped from a mental hospital. I thought this would be dangerous.
The same goes for what Yesong said.
Was I that messed up… ?
─ Could it be that I did something unnecessary?
“No, thank you. Thanks to you, I came to my senses.”
I wanted to say thank you.
Like this incident, there were many things for which Se-Ah was thankful.
I feel sorry for being wary of Se-Ah because I thought she would become the leader of her black market.
Of course, she did not give up her guard.
─ Hehe.
SeAH’s heartwarming laughter was heard from beyond the smartphone.
─ So, what business did you call?
“I just wanted to say thank you. That’s all.”
─ You have a surprisingly cute side, don’t you?
“I hung up.”
─ Haha. Yes, if you need help, please call me anytime, right?
“Okay. If you need help with anything, please let me know at any time.”
Drop.
She hung up the phone and looked at the executives. They looked at me silently.
He seemed to sense that I was trying to get to the point.
“We are now looking for Obaekseo.”
I said it without delay.
“As expected, it looks like it jumped out somewhere.”
“When are you going to eat all that?”
“I ate it sparingly because it was my last bread…” ” . Waap.”
Yesong ate the rest of her cream bread in one bite. When a little bit of whipped cream came out and got on the corner of her mouth, she wiped it with her finger and sucked it.
“If we were to guess, the White Paper would probably have gone to the Technomancer.”
“Six sinners? “You had a fierce battle with us last time?”
“The only thing you did back then was to get in shape.”
“Hehe.”
Yesong scratched her head awkwardly.
“Why, why did you think that… ? The deputy chief said he went looking for the villain…”
Minhyuk’s voice trembled, as if he was remembering the day he fought with Moon Chae-yeon.
“Because of me.”
“Yes?”
The executives did not accept my answer right away.
“To be honest, White Paper has been trying to protect me all along. In the end, he is the strongest kid at Asung High School. “I was in a position to protect the white paper rather than protect it.”
It was something I shouldn’t have brought up considering my reputation as the head of the leading department.
Since we are in a situation where we need to come together and find a white paper, we decided to tell an honest story.
“It’s just my guess, but it looks like he took the initiative himself after causing trouble with several of the Six Sinners in just one semester. “To completely eliminate the opponent.”
In fact, it was closer to a certainty than a guess.
Baek Seo left to aim for the position of headmaster.
The reason I’m in such a hurry is definitely me.
As a result, the goal would have been to kill Moon Chae-yeon first.
The targets written on the mind map also included the six criminals I clashed with.
“Chief, you’re too self-conscious…”
“Last time, I fought a goblin and moved in next door to me, Baek Seo.”
There was silence for a moment.
“… Really?”
Yesong barely opened his mouth.
“Yes.”
“Oh my god.”
Yesong no longer complained about my words.
“I see… The two of you had a strange feeling.”
“I like the manager so much… , To protect you…”
Doha and Minhyuk were speechless.
Of course I knew that Baekseo and I were close, but I didn’t think we were that close.
“But, Manager. If Baekseo Jjingi and Technomancer clashed, I think there would be a huge uproar… At least that area wouldn’t have been fine, right? It must have been noisy somehow. But there hasn’t been any news so far, right? Then, White Paper Jjing…”
“The white paper is still looking for this guy, or something bad happened before the situation escalated. It’s probably one of two things. “Seeing as I haven’t been able to contact you for several days already.”
I remembered the time when I beat Han Seo-jin in the practical evaluation.
Seo-jin said that the reason he came to Aseong High School was to monitor Oh Baek-seo. It must have been an order from the principal.
Moreover, White Paper has been secretly gathering information to catch the headmaster.
In other words.
‘The headmaster knew that White Paper would target him.’
When I thought back to the mind map I saw at White Paper’s house, it felt incomplete.
If White Paper had moved hastily, his behavior pattern might have been read to the principal.
Moreover, the white paper was completely missing from the original work.
The fact that the principal of the original film committed suicide did not return.
Even though he fully prepared and implemented his plan, he could not help but see that it did not end well.
Moreover, White Paper left here too early.
I didn’t have a good feeling at all.
“There is no confirmation… Even if you think about what the manager said, I have doubts. Why did the deputy head decide to move alone? “Were we that untrustworthy?”
Doha said while stroking his chin.
White Paper is a former Sparto who is good at fighting and assassination, and his opponent is the headmaster.
Even if I were White Paper, I would have abandoned his colleagues and moved alone.
Whether it is to protect colleagues or to rule out any risks that might cause trouble to colleagues.
“No matter what questions you have, what needs to be done doesn’t change.”
He said it as if he had nailed it again.
“We need to find the Five Hundred Papers. That is what we will do from now on.”
The executives looked at me and nodded.
“Yes!”
“Yep… !”
“Yes.”
Silence continues.
Eventually, Minhyuk spoke.
“But how do I find the vice president…” “?” ?”
“We should start asking about that now.”
“Yes?”
There was someone who had been secretly dropping on our conversation outside the window a while ago. As if you were waiting for me.
My hiding skills were very poor.
It wasn’t a person.
However, I was able to immediately tell what kind of guy it was by looking at the color of the magic power flowing out.
Damn.
I jumped through space and went out the window.
[Ugh… ?]
A small creature floating on the outer wall was immediately caught in my hand. A look of surprise was evident on his face.
Horns on the head.
Light blue body.
Wearing a mat.
Small and round appearance like a puppy.
He was a low-level goblin under Kim Dal-bi’s control.
I grabbed the window frame, stood on top of it, and glared at him.
The guy was sweating profusely and his body was shaking. That sincere trembling was transmitted through my hands.
“Hello.”
[Oh, hello…]
The low-level goblin greeted me with a baby-like, slurred voice. His voice was full of tremors, as if he was afraid.
“Kim Dal-bi couldn’t have sent it for the purpose of spying on someone like you…”
[Woah, musi bada… !]
“Tell me what happened.”
[Yes…]
Why did Kim Dal-bi’s low-ranking goblin snoop around in the leader’s office?
The picture of Dalbi trying to ask for help from me was not drawn.
Considering the time, it might be because of something related to the Five Hundred Books.
[I came to tell you… The owner told me to tell you…]
“Were you looking at the right time to speak? .”
[Ugh.]
However, she did not let down her guard.
In the meantime, the low-ranking goblin fluttered her arms to her sides and said.
[Oh Bae-seo is at Mu Chaeyeon’s hideout… ! They say it’s dangerous… !]
