I Obtained a Mythic Item - Chapter 41
Episode 41 Gu Ja-in (1)
Gu Ja-in’s office was so neatly organized that he was suspicious of mysophobia.
Some artworks by an unknown artist are hanging on the white-toned wallpaper.
Beneath it, a high-end bookshelf made of plywood on top of cedar and cushioned chairs, and an antique-patterned rug on the floor add to the unique atmosphere.
‘I heard that mysophobia is paranoid. I guess it’s not entirely wrong.’
Jaehyun looked around for a while and then sat down on the brown sofa in the center.
No separate permission was sought.
After all, the owner of the room is not Kim Seok-ki, and he is the one who was invited here.
Of course, the thoughts of the two people who came together seemed completely different from him.
‘……what? Why is he suddenly like that?’
Seo In-na and Kim Yoo-jung looked at Jae-hyun with their mouths shut with unfamiliar eyes.
What did Jaehyun not eat well yesterday?
Otherwise, it would be difficult to come to meet the president of Milles Academy and show such behavior.
Goo Ja-in is one of Korea’s most influential people and the one who trained three S-class raiders.
It was an opponent who could never benefit from such an attitude.
“……The two of you should also sit down.”
Belatedly, Kim Seok-gi’s voice continued.
He narrowed his eyes, not taking his eyes off Jaehyun.
“Ah yes…….”
Kim Yoo-jung answered quickly and grabbed Seo In-na’s hand and pulled her to her side.
The two people were seated, and from the left, Min Jae-hyun, Kim Yoo-jung, and Seo E-na were seated.
Instructor Kim Seok-gi was waiting for Gu Ja-in, standing across from him.
Occasionally, his gaze sharply focused on Jaehyun’s face, but Jaehyun didn’t care at all.
A suffocating silence drifts through the office, pouring out uneasiness.
Kim Yoo-jung and Seo E-na kept their silence and only noticed each other.
In a way, it is natural.
This is the private office of Jain Gu, the president of Miles Academy.
It is one of the hardest places to get in and out of at the academy.
After all, it’s natural to be nervous. On the contrary, it is a strange case if Jaehyun, who is not embarrassed and calm and weak, is strange.
‘It’s not as wide as I thought.’
Jaehyun had already visited Yeonhwa Guild’s representative, Yoo Seongeun’s office and guild facilities.
There, he was surprised by the overwhelming scale and sophisticated facilities of the No. 1 guild in Korea.
Of course, the office of Milles Academy was as good as it was, but there were quite a few corners that were lacking in terms of being on the same level as Yeonhwa Guild.
It was only natural that it felt like a landscape without much objection to Jaehyun, who is accustomed to lotus painting.
Jaehyun put his pupils back in place and asked in a plaintive voice.
“I called, where is the chairman? I don’t think this is polite.”
At his words, Kim Seok-gi’s face crumpled.
‘This baby …….’
Of course, Kim Seok -ki also knew that it was a cadet with excellent skills in front of her eyes.
I actually got it too.
About the possibility that great talents can emerge in the magic world.
Also, the conviction that an individual cadet named Min Jae-hyeon might be able to set foot on the S-class radar.
However, Kim Seok-gi erased that possibility from his mind.
He has trained many cadets so far, but those with such disrespectful attitudes do not grow much.
Those who are promising prospects and have been featured in the media every day. All of them didn’t grow much because of their own insincerity and died in dungeons with a lower rank compared to their abilities.
Kim Seok-gi was a person who emphasized persistence and effort above all else to the cadets.
‘I think I have skills… but I don’t think my personality is that good. only then It must be difficult to grow big.’
At that time, Jaehyun also glared at Instructor Kim Seokgi and raised an eyebrow.
‘As expected, Instructor Kim Seok-gi is the same. The faithful dog of the chairman. The reason for rolling the cadets in the Spartan way is probably because Gu Ja-in notices them and tries to improve their performance.’
before regression.
When Goo Ja-in’s corruption was reported on the news every day.
Instructor Kim Seok-ki is also imprisoned for his sins.
The crime is under the pretext of aiding and abetting the corruption of the chairman.
In fact, he was the kind of person who would jump into a fire if Gu Ja-in asked him to.
A banal, third-rate villain who sells out his cadets, blinded by his lust for power.
That was the role of Kim Seok-gi.
‘Someday, we have to uncover Instructor Kim Seok-gi’s corruption as well.’
In order to do that, I needed to be steadily strong.
Even if he looks like that, Instructor Kim Seok-gi is an A-class combative radar.
At least Jaehyun wasn’t someone who could win against him now.
On the other hand, Kim Yoo-jung and Seo In-na were quite embarrassed to see Jae-hyun’s rude behavior.
It had to be.
Jaehyun, whom Kim Yu-jung originally knew, may seem cynical and unprincipled, but he tends to keep good manners. I’m not the type to treat adults carelessly.
But why are you behaving like that now?
At the same time, she felt the same way.
That he behaves like this.
Could it be for some reason?
The moment Kim Yoo-jung was thinking.
The sound of a door opening was heard.
A muscular man who appeared to be about 190 tall from outside the door. Gujain appeared.
“You are already here. sorry. It’s a bit late.”
“Oh hello! I am Kim Yu-jeong, a magic cadet.”
“……This is Seo Eana.”
“yes. I am well aware. Miss Kim Yoo-jung and Miss Seo E-na.”
As soon as the two bowed their heads and greeted each other, Gu Jain smiled and came inside.
Jaehyun, on the other hand, rested his chin on his left hand and said in an annoying tone.
“Iknow, right. go a little early What’s the point of calling people and making them wait?”
“……sorry. I also need some time to prepare.”
Gu Ja-in, as if he knew Jae-hyun would come out like this from the beginning, didn’t change his expression and responded like that.
Jaehyun crossed his legs and scanned Goo Jain up and down in turn.
A red wine colored shirt, a luxury watch on the set-up wrist, and penny loafers.
It was close to the typical rich people’s social church attire in the drama.
‘Unexpectedly, he appears as a writer. As expected, he looks like a disgusting guy who bows down to those who can make money and cuts out those who can’t.’
Jaehyun frowned at Goo Jain. He soon opened his mouth.
“I’d like to know why you called us here.”
“yes. Even if it wasn’t, I was just about to tell you.”
“I don’t know what it is, but it seems like a great reason. You can see that we, who suffered from being confined in a subspace for three days, were gathered together without even having time to wash.”
Gu Ja-in, who had been maintaining his expression all the time, flinched for a moment.
A very brief, fleeting convulsion.
However, Jaehyun caught the change and smiled a little.
Meanwhile, Kim Yoo-jung and Seo E-na. Even Kim Seok-ki looked at Jae-hyun with frightened eyes.
Who is the old man in front of you?
A person who is no different from the owner of this academy, and a real person who holds the strongest power.
To such a person, this kind of tone and behavior was frankly dangerous.
But Jaehyun knew.
‘No matter how much I say shit, Gu Jain can’t cut me.’
At this point, Jain Gu is nervous because he has not been able to produce an S-class radar for four years.
Thanks to this, the state subsidy is also in a crisis of desperation that has begun to decrease.
That’s why he expels the cadet who was born with S-class talent right in front of him?
In this case, all damages will be borne by the former party.
It means that it is a game that cannot be easily put into words.
Even now, Jae-hyun is holding in his hand a huge back called Yoo Seong-eun.
There is nothing to regret here.
Knowing this, Gu Ja-in also admitted it meekly.
“……The consideration was a little lacking. sorry. But if you listen to it, I think you won’t be disappointed either. Then let’s go ahead and start talking.”
After clearing his throat once, Gu Ja-in slowly began to lick his lips.
“First of all, congratulations. In this Freshman Hunt, you are the so-called elite in the top three. In particular, Min Jae-hyeon ranked first here as well.”
“It’s all thanks to the party members. I wouldn’t have been able to do it on my own.”
That was actually true.
If it wasn’t for the two of them, the operation to hunt the students would have been impossible.
But Gu Jain didn’t seem to think so.
Gu Jain smiled at Jaehyun with his eyes narrowed.
‘I will hide my ability. That’s what I mean.’
Goo Ja-in matched him with Ahn Ho-yeon to better gauge Jae-hyun’s ability.
But in the end, I couldn’t appreciate his real ability.
And that was obviously his own defeat.
“Of course you are right. Because I was watching everyone’s performance.”
Gu Jain took a sip of the coffee placed in front of the sofa.
He was smiling a little.
“You guys have done a really great job. It was the first time in the history of magic that it exceeded 1 million points, and it was proudly ranked in the top ranks in ‘New Student Hunt’.
Is that all? So far, it has broken 1.14 million points, the highest since its foundation. It’s amazing. That’s a great score.”
“……thank you.”
Seo In-na greeted first, followed by Kim Yoo-jung, who also bowed her head stiffly.
Min Jaehyun was the only one with his head up.
Guin continued.
“So, Milles Academy would like to give you a special reward.”
“……Compensation is…”
Seo Ina was speechless.
Gu Jain replied with a smile of repentance.
“I would like to give you some perks.”
“A privilege?”
This time, Kim Yu-jung asked again with her eyes wide open.
Gujain nodded.
He began to explain in earnest the preferential treatment he would offer to the three of them.
first.
Suite rooms within the Milles Academy grounds are provided free of charge to everyone.
Even among food, clothing and shelter, this condition was very harsh.
An offer that is generally among the top five received by freshmen.
second.
Priority should be improved so that academy facilities can be used first.
This proposal is an attractive condition if there is a will to grow.
No matter how large Miles Academy is, it is very difficult to use all the facilities when you want.
The basic principle is to reserve and use all facilities in advance.
third.
One more opportunity to take the retest is given if the student does not perform satisfactorily in the school exam.
This condition was not very attractive to Kim Yoo-jung and Jae-hyun, who had good brains, but it was different for Seo In-na.
Before returning, Seo Eana was good at practical writing, but always showed a weak side in writing. Jaehyun had heard well before that she was weak in theory and arithmetic.
To her, this offer was a tempting condition.
“……This is our proposal. If you accept this offer, you will officially sign a partnership contract with our Milles Agency, and you will benefit from it when you seek a guild in the future…”
“I decline.”
Jaehyun rejected Goo Jain’s proposal without even thinking about it.
The documents he had prepared to show nominally were rejected embarrassingly quickly.
Gu Jain’s face was openly crumpled for the first time.
He glared hard at Jaehyun, forgetting to even manage his expression.
Jaehyun was still watching Goo Jain’s eyes with a calm face.
As if trying to read its intentions.
Silence flows for a while.
Soon, a calm voice began to flow from Jaehyun’s mouth.
“Everything you suggested. Of course it’s on good terms. but. Those are the benefits that we can get on our own if our skills are up to it anyway. Milles Academy is strictly a merit-based academy.”
Looking at Gu Ja-in’s shocked face, Jae-hyun continued.
“You said it kindly, but that condition. It’s probably at the level that you can get it all on your own after a month. Do you think there is no reason for me to be affiliated with an agency that even provides commissions?”
It was as Jaehyun said.
A partnership proposal proposed by Jain Koo.
This is after belonging to the Milles Agency. It is a contract that will donate 30% of the profits for a whopping 5 years to the school side when you save the guild and start the radar activity.
The annual revenue of a typical A-class radar varies depending on the situation, but at least 10 billion.
That is the intention to take away a total of close to 15 billion won over 5 years.
‘I can’t give in to that bullshit.’
Jaehyun laughed.
Gu Ja-in has an annoyed expression on his face, whether he knows that his dark secrets have been revealed or not.
Jaehyun put his hands together as he looked at Goo Jain looking at him with murderous eyes.
Soon, a sentence close to a high-pressure warning flowed from his mouth.
“Chairman Gu Ja-in seems to be trying to beat me up, not treat me. Did I misunderstand you?”
