Academy Life of a Career Hypnotist

Episode 9. Quest (1)

Brilliant and sparkling lights.

EDM-style music that makes your eardrums ring.

People who are intoxicated with excitement as if they had a reception.

‘Oh, it’s noisy.’

This is none other than a club. To be precise, it was an entertainment establishment full of illegal activities.

I looked all over the inside.

There was a place where alcohol was spread out and a table where gambling took place, while the costumes of the dancers dancing on the stage were advocating freedom to the fullest.

‘I’m going to lose my mind if I stay here for a long time.’

[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]

He showed his innate nature and regained his spirit that was about to shrink.

I feel it every time I use it, but it is also an incredible ability. To be able to be so calm in such an unfamiliar environment, even in a real battle for the first time.

‘Let’s see. Lee Sang-won said he used the VIP room inside.’

The person I had to meet was a young man named Lee Sang-won. He is said to be the son of the president of a mid-sized company, but rather than inheriting the family business, he is said to be preoccupied with revelry.

To visit him, show him a bitter taste, and bring him back home.

As is usually the case with illegal shops, this was a place where only those who had been verified to a certain extent could enter. In my case, thanks to Seolchaehwa’s help, I was able to safely enter the store.

Maybe from the VIP room, it won’t be easy. It is an area that only select guests can enter.

Unfortunately, Seol Chae-hwa did not provide a way to enter the VIP room.

“Take care of that on your own. If you’re at a level where you have to pay attention to such things, you won’t feel the need to work together.”

… … It was because of the reason.

I entered a little further inside the large hall to head to the VIP room area.

‘That’s it.’

After walking for a long time across the hallway, a more simplified hall appeared this time.

There were also many guests here. It seemed to be a place prepared for those who dislike noisy atmosphere.

What caught my eye was the entrance to the hallway going further in from the small hall. A large man in a black suit is seen standing guard in the driveway. It seemed to be a guard.

‘The fact that there is a guardian… .’

It means that the area over there is the VIP room that Seol Chae-hwa heard about.

“what. Why are you blocking and f*cking?”

A guest trying to head to the VIP room is stopped by a guard. I pretended not to see and listened as much as I could.

“I’m sorry, but you can’t pass.”

“I’m a regular here dude! You saw me last time!”

“If you continue to tell the truth, I will leave you.”

“under… . It’s really damn expensive.”

The guest rummaged through something in his arms and looked around as if he noticed.

“hmm?”

“hey. this is really precious It’s different from last time. Do you know how strict these days are?”

It’s whispering so that I can’t hear it, but I heard it clearly in my ears.

“Looking closely, you’re a guest here. I was mistaken for someone else for a while. Please pass by.”

The guard let the guest inside only after being secretly handed something.

‘A precious thing. And crackdown?’

Even though I couldn’t see it, I was able to infer what was handed over through conversation. Because it was already hinted at when I entered this club.

I straightened my clothes and asked the bartender for a drink. Then, holding the cup of water he had received, he approached the guard.

“stop. This is a place anyone can enter… … .”

[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]

Lightly pressurize.

He used his natural instinct to instill feelings of intimidation into him.

The effect appeared immediately.

The guard, who seemed to be trying to warn me, shut his mouth midway and looked at me with trembling eyes.

“Excuse me, but who are you? It is prohibited to enter this place except for those who are related.”

The atmosphere was quite different from when I was dealing with a customer I passed by earlier.

“I have an acquaintance waiting inside. I must pass.”

“Could you tell me the name of the person you are looking for?”

“Lee Sang-won.”

The guard’s eyes widened slightly, probably because he knew the name.

“I’m sorry, but this is the first time I’ve seen a customer’s face. Do you really know him?”

“Is there any reason for me to tell a lie that will soon be exposed if I go and check it out?”

“… Then please wait a moment. I will go and ask.”

“aha. I’m busy on my way right now, would you like to leave me here? Can you handle it?”

He is already under my leadership. Evidence of this was the reaction that seemed to be momentarily speechless due to the remark he had just made.

If so, it was time to make the climax here.

[‘Demagog’ is activated.]

A nature that amplifies the emotions already felt in the heart. When the Demagogue was activated, the guard’s limbs visibly began to tremble.

I pushed a little harder.

“what… . It doesn’t matter if you go and check it out, right? But now your attitude has made me feel a little bad. I hope I don’t have to see you next time. No, there will be nothing to see.”

If you want to go, it seems like you want to go somewhere. I didn’t even forget to smile.

“customer. This is embarrassing.”

I knew I would pass if I was this bluff. The guy wasn’t even average. Even with that much pressure, he didn’t seem to let go.

I decided to go a little more radical.

“You still can’t understand the situation?”

“What are you talking about… … .”

“What do you think would make the situation more difficult, between you and me messing around here? Shall we join hands together and go to Sang-won and ask him?”

“customer. If you continue to make a fuss, even if you are a VIP, the lady will not stand still!”

Ms. Probably the owner of this club. It wasn’t a very good situation to get too much attention.

I activated the Demagogue again and threatened.

“okay. I shouldn’t be alone Because you dared to stand in front of me without guarding such an ignorant bastard. I’ll believe you’ve made up your mind.”

“… … .”

Silence flows.

By the time the guard’s face was ripe with bewilderment. Thinking that I had calmed down enough, I smiled again and said.

“Ahahahaha! It’s a joke, a joke.”

“yes?”

“Aren’t you bored standing here all the time? So I guess I played around.”

When the mood changed, the guard let out a small sigh as if to clear his surprised chest.

It was important from here.

“ruler. Do you have a lot of sore throat? drink.”

“it’s okay. As for the water, I know how to drink it… … .”

“no way. Could I just recommend water without a class?”

When I whispered that in a smirking voice, the guard’s eyes changed.

“Are you the type to eat?”

“You will know when you drink it.”

Of course, that water was plain drinking water itself, without anything burning.

But the moment the guard inhaled the water.

[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]

When my nature is added, the story changes.

The greatest pleasure a person can experience. He recalled this strongly and planted it in his brain. Then the guard’s body staggered and he sat down leaning against the wall.

“lol… . hehehehe… … .”

“how is it. will you kill me?”

It seemed that he had completely lost his taste.

I know that feeling very well. Because on the first day, I thought I was going crazy after injecting that emotion into my head without knowing how to look cool.

After patting him on the shoulder to say good work, I casually walked into the VIP area. On the way, I wanted to be stopped again because other employees approached, but fortunately that was not the case.

“hey! yumma wake up! won’t you wake up? What is it? Totally stretched out man. What did you eat?”

“Ugh. I thought that this four month would come someday. While cheating, he kept taking bribes from customers. Tsk tsk.”

They slapped the fallen guard several times on the cheek, then started dragging him away naturally while kicking their tongues. He didn’t seem to care if I went inside or not.

It may mean that it is not my concern if it is not the area of the work that I am in charge of. Since these are the guys who work illegally in a place like this in the first place, there’s no way they have a strong professional spirit.

‘good. It seems that one obstacle has been overcome. Next, out of all these rooms, where is Lee Sang-won? .’

I decided not to think hard about it. I know the appearance, so I just need to open each room one by one.

“hmm? What are you? Are you a serving part-timer?”

And finally.

The most central seat of the room. I spotted a young man with both legs resting on a desk, with a woman on either side. It was Lee Sang-won at first glance, but I asked to confirm just in case.

“Are you Lee Sang-won?”

“Lee Sang-won? Are you short on words? What are you doing bastard?”

I knew that I was certain.

I looked all over the room. Except for Lee Sang-won and the woman he was wearing, there were many people.

There are three people wearing hoodies and even caps under them. The other was a man with all sorts of ear piercings and a briefcase in his hand.

‘I don’t think they are ordinary friends.’

It didn’t look like things would be easily resolved.

“i get it. Are you the human sent by my father? f*ck. I thought I got away with it this time, but it looks like I was followed again.”

“Again?”

Lee Sang-won raised the corner of his mouth.

“It wasn’t just one or two guys like you came to me. And those bastards, all of them made half assholes and sent them back. Have you not heard of that story?”

A sigh came out.

okay. Ten million won is not even the name of a dog. I didn’t think that Seol Chae-hwa would be entrusted with an easy request.

“Not interested. Those who are not involved in this meeting, get out of here right now. If you don’t want to get hurt.”

“What? Would you like to hear me now?”

At my warning, the women who appeared to be receptionists hurriedly left the room. Meanwhile, the pierced man who had been quietly watching the conversation opened his mouth.

“Lee Sang-won. Can we handle it like last time?”

“uh. It looks like it’s the guy sent by your father, so take care of it.”

clap.

At that moment, a new person appeared out of nowhere and blocked the entrance to the room and locked the doorknob. Laughter broke out at the unexpected trick.

“Split? Can’t you understand the situation? You say you can’t get out of here understand?”

Lee Sang-won frowned and threatened.

“You spoke well. It’s the same with you that you can’t get out of here.”

“under. are you crazy Do you know who I am and say such nonsense?”

“You want to use the reputation your parents have on a subject you don’t even listen to? This guy is completely ignorant.”

Did I touch the planting properly? Lee Sang-won’s face was distorted like a bulldog.

“This bastard! What are you all doing! Don’t look at me, but crush that muzzle first!”

It was an asshole-like reaction. It’s a poopy puppy itself that only knows how to bark because it doesn’t have a water container.

[‘Mental Acceleration’ is activated.]

The guy who was holding the briefcase earlier quickly opened the lid.

The identity of the object inside was none other than a pistol. It seemed to have a silencer attached as well as already loaded, so he was aiming at me and trying to pull the trigger.

I didn’t panic. I had already prepared that this request could put my life at risk.

Before his index finger moved, I twisted my body in advance so that I could safely dodge the bullet.

bang!

“… … !”

Sensational time returns to normal.

I could see the shooter’s face stained with bewilderment.

There is no way to miss the gap. Now was the time to unleash the power of nature.

[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]

[‘Demagog’ is activated.]

『Emotion Implant』 injects the emotions I desire into the opponent. 『Demagogue』 maximizes the emotions others will feel due to my actions.

These two can create crazy synergy if the situation is well directed.

For example the same situation now.

How would it feel to witness a person dodging bullets with their own eyes? At least it won’t be pleasant.

After adding a sense of fear to it, I connected it with Demagogue to raise the feeling he felt to the maximum.

The result.

“Huh, huh!”

I could see it through the guy who swallowed his breath and fell backwards. No, it’s not just him. Others who were watching the situation also made a look of bewilderment when their eyes met mine.

“Aww!”

In the meantime, one guy who overcame fear pulled out a dagger and charged at me.

‘I can avoid bullets, but can’t I avoid a single dagger like this?’

I didn’t see any reason to avoid it. I caught the stabbing dagger with my index finger and stopped it.

“omg!”

I tried hard, but it was futile. The tip of the blade was fixed in my hand and just trembled. Looking at his strength, I could tell that he was a normal person, not an adult.

I thrust my fist into the stomach of the frightened man.

“Kuuk… … .”

It’s not over yet. The guy who had been holding the pistol earlier, who had hesitated for a moment in fear, moved his index finger to pull the trigger again.

‘After the bullets are fired, it’s too late!’

I’ve been on guard ever since. Response was swift.

After fixing my grip on the dagger I had just stolen.

[‘Delusion Practice’ is activated.]

I threw it at the arm of the guy who was about to shoot.

A natural ability that brings the caster’s thoughts into reality. Based on this, the thrown dagger flew straight up as if it had a will.

[‘Demagog’ is activated.]

extra hit here.

“Quaaagh!”

The moment the blade of the dagger stuck into the arm of the guy holding the gun. The pain he will feel is amplified by the demagogue.

The one who fell to the floor seemed to convulse intermittently, but finally passed out with foam at the mouth.

“What, what did you look at and fell asleep! Come on everyone! Go away dude!”

The guys who kept an eye on my overwhelming appearance reluctantly rushed at me. Maybe it’s only now that their heads are starting to spin, but this time they run at once.

[‘Delusion Practice’ is activated.]

The results were all the same. Basically, the body of an adult is far superior to that of an ordinary person. Even if you just fight ignorantly, you will win, and the power of your nature is added, so you can easily subdue it.

With this, there are only two left. Only the stunned Lee Sang-won and the pierced man.

I asked, lightly loosening my wrists.

“So, who said they would crush my muzzle?”
