Academy Munchkin Grew Up To Become a Genius

Episode 31 Metamorphosis (3)

“I found out what your identity is, Seojun.”

What on earth is this all of a sudden in the middle of the night?

“Are you going to keep leaving it outside?”

Jin Se-rin’s voice over the intercom was low and extremely dry.

“Well, what is that… Come in first. Just a moment.”

I can’t believe I found out his identity.

Kang Seo-jun had no choice but to listen to the detailed story.

-Click!

When Kang Seo-jun pressed the unlock button on the intercom, the front door was opened remotely.

Jin Serin opened the front door and entered lightly.

Dolphin pants and white tee.

It seems like she came back in the same clothes she wore while resting in her room.

Jin Serin looked around her dark living room and sat down on the sofa.

-Width!

“…….”

Kang Seo-jun didn’t feel like sitting next to him, so he just stood across from him.

A moment of awkward silence.

Kang Seo-jun was the first to open his mouth.

“You found out my identity…?”

“It’s literally… That’s what happened when that broken body came over here… Right?”

“……!!”

Kang Seo-jun’s willpower, which had reached 30, was shaken.

“Well, how on earth is that…?”

What on earth did Jin Se-rin do?

No matter how much the political situation has changed, the fact that Kang Seo-jun came from another world is information that no one will ever know.

“Knowledge of ancient languages, mysterious mana formulas, and unregistered dungeons… You know them all because you came from the future.”

“Uh, huh…?”

The future?

“Where did you come from and what did you see…!?”

Kang Seo-jun asked in a hoarse voice.

“I asked the question first. If you don’t tell me, I won’t tell you.”

Jin Se-rin’s eyes were resolute.

“Ugh….”

What on earth did I see and hear from over there?

As long as he didn’t know how much the other person knew and how much he misunderstood, there was only one option for Kang Seo-jun.

Transaction of information.

You have to give what they want from the other side and receive what they want from you.

“If you keep it a secret between us… I’ll tell you.”

-Nod.

With Jin Se-rin nodding her head, Kang Seo-jun began to tell his story.

“That’s right. This body is what was created when I crossed over to this world. Red skin, a bent and twisted body, and the inside of my organs are also a mess.”

“Uh, yeah…”

Jin Serin had assumed this, but when she heard it from her own mouth, she looked even more shocked.

“Then you know the ancient language cube knowledge and unregistered dungeons… And everything else…?”

Kang Seo-jun nodded his head.

“Yes. I knew it all before I came over here.”

Jin Serin hugged her arms and lowered her eyes.

I feel like I’m lost in some complicated thoughts, but I don’t know what I’m thinking about.

Kang Seo-jun looked down at her and said.

“Then tell me now. How did you know my background?”

“I’m not finished with my questions yet!”

“…….”

Kang Seo-jun sensed that the story would take longer than expected.

Jin Serin asked, holding both of her arms tightly.

“Well, then… Why did you end up like that… Why did you come here?”

“I didn’t come because I wanted to.”

“So, you’re saying you were forced to come?”

Kang Seo-jun thought for a moment and then shook his head.

“That’s not it either.”

Because it was his own will to press the start game button.

“Well, what is that….”

“Now how did you know my background…”

“Oh, no! I’ll just listen to this much.”

Jin Serin tightened her eyes as if this was the main topic.

“Why did you ask me to be your best friend…?”

Jin Se-rin looked straight into Kang Seo-jun’s eyes.

“What was your relationship with me in the future?”

“Ah…”

I don’t know the intent of the question.

I don’t know what to do because it’s a completely unexpected situation, and of course it’s not an event that appeared in [Grand Hunter Academy].

In times like this, it would be better to be honest rather than making up a clumsy story and making mistakes.

“I did not simply come from the future. I repeated the same time countless times. And in that repeated time, you and I formed countless different relationships.”

“…!”

Jin Se-rin’s lips trembled.

“It’s not something that can be easily summarized. Sometimes we were just watching from afar, and sometimes we were inseparable colleagues. And…”

Jin Se-rin asked as Kang Seo-jun trailed off.

“Have you ever been the most precious person…?”

Kang Seo-jun could not bear to answer.

If you say ‘yes’ with such a hideous appearance, you will definitely faint.

However, such unspoken words came as a positive meaning to Jin Se-rin.

“So it was there….”

“I’m sorry for not being able to deny it….”

“No….”

Jin Se-rin agreed as if she had assumed it.

“Best friend… After all, it was an excuse.”

Her voice was slightly watery.

“Ma, what would you have done if I hadn’t approached you first?”

“I must have approached you first after entering the academy. At this time, I am the only one who knows how to solve your stagnant growth.”

“You… Then you…”

Jin Se-rin cried.

“In order to save myself… I kept going back in time, even becoming that painful…?”

Jin Serin sobbed, wiping her tears from her own eyes.

“Huh?”

Kang Seo-jun blinked his eyes at the sound that had no context.

That’s not true.

It was just a combination of business and business.

“You’re such a fool…! What do you gain by doing that…!? By making yourself look like that in pain…!!”

“Mo, your voice is too loud!”

And I don’t know what you’re talking about!

“I was afraid… That you would be disgusted by how I changed…? I’m sorry… Last time too… I didn’t even know that…”

The crying gradually turned into wailing.

“But… It’s so sad to keep all that to myself…!”

Kang Seo-jun stroked his chin and was lost in thought.

What kind of misunderstanding did Jin Se-rin have that led to this?

I felt like I had to find out the source of the information before I could figure something out.

“I’m sorry. But now answer my question as well. How did you know I came from another world?”

“I saw this…”

Jin Serin took out her document file that had been placed behind her back.

How was it possible to hide that with that thin waist?

It was a strange thing, but first, Kang Seo-jun looked through the file.

“This…!”

-Cry!!

The document contained information that Kang Seo-jun had never expected.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

About 3 hours before Jin Se-rin went to see Kang Seo-jun.

12 O’clock in the morning.

Seo Eun-ha finally got time to take a breather after receiving various investigations from Sungjin Group’s security team.

The question they persistently asked was ‘How did you know that Kim Hak-yong was a demon?’, And the next question was ‘Who did you receive this lightsaber relic from?’

There were many other questions, but Seo Eun-ha consistently maintained that she could not speak to protect the identity of the informant.

Because of this, even though she had clearly made a contribution, she became suspicious of the security team.

However, since Seo Eun-ha’s relics ‘Holy Water of the Favorite Saint’ and ‘Swordless Sword Hilt’ were light-attribute relics, she received the instigation of Seo Eun-ha’s demon side to remove her squirrel tail. I didn’t buy into such absurd suspicions.

The matter regarding director Kim Hak-yong was resolved internally within the company and reported very confidentially to the association.

If it became known to the public that Sungjin Group’s leading man was Mine, the damage to the company’s image would be enormous.

Anyway, Seo Eun-ha, who had climbed such a large mountain, looked at her necklace that Kang Seo-jun had requested.

She had secretly retrieved it from Mine’s neck before the security team arrived when Mine fell.

“What on earth is this necklace?…”

She thought about going to the lab and investigating, but she quickly shook her head.

Because she didn’t think there would be anything she could find out anyway.

Instead, she went down to the basement of Sungjin Group.

The place she headed to was the Sungjin Group’s level 1 security records room.

It was a treasure trove of Sungjin Group information that could only be used by those closest to the Sungjin family among executives and employees working at Sungjin Group.

“How on earth did I know…?”

Director Kim Hak-yong is a demon, Director Kim Hak-yong has a necklace relic, and ordinary weapons cannot pierce Director Kim Hak-yong’s skin.

Kang Seo-jun knew all of that and even had the ability to cope with it all.

“How on earth…”

Seo Eun-ha started posting keywords that came to mind on the search machine without much thought.

[ Mine, ancient language cube, unregistered dungeon, broken body, magic, light attribute……. ]

A combination of words that do not match one by one.

Seo Eun-ha clicked the search button even though she thought there was no way she could come up with anything.

But.

“Huh?”

A combination of words that she thought could not come out resulted in a recorded document being printed.

-Click!

Seo Eun-ha hurriedly opened her data.

[ Guide! This is a document that cannot be checked using electronic devices. ]

“Hmm.”

Seo Eun-ha checked the alphabet and number of the recorded document.

She then went deep into her security records room to find the record number.

She looked for the number and entered, and when she entered, her feet landed in a corner filled with dust.

A concrete warehouse that looks like it hasn’t been visited in at least several years.

Seo Eun-ha carefully opened the door and went inside.

And there.

[Joint record between World Hunter Federation Union and Sungjin Group.]

“This…This…!!”

An answer that helps us understand many things about the identity of a man named Kang Seo-jun, who was full of questions, was found in an unexpected place.

“Ah, I have to tell the lady…!!”

Seo Eun-ha put the confidential document in a zipper bag and immediately went to go through the document release process.
