chapter 12
Why are you doing this to me
Deep in a jjokbang village in Seoul.
A house made of crumbling iron plates.
A man in a white doctor’s gown was making a strange drug.
“Now is the time.”
He looked at the map of Seoul and smiled sly.
Arrows were drawn here and there with a red pen.
“Don’t make me like you. I will pay you back.”
His face was horribly melted and distorted.
It was a wound from an awakened member of the K group, the largest conglomerate in Korea, half a year ago.
His name is Maboseong.
He was a genius chemist who occasionally came up with sparkly ideas.
Maboseong accidentally discovered a way to dramatically increase the existing potion production efficiency.
He saw this as a life-changing opportunity and started his business by using bank loans and debentures.
At first, it grew up smoothly.
This groundbreaking potion was about twice the price of the existing potion, and the more it was sold, the more profits were generated.
Then one day, K-Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of the K group, released a product identical to his potion.
Due to the different production scales, his profits gradually decreased, and soon after the supply contract was cut off, he could not even afford the interest on the loan.
He filed a lawsuit against K Pharmaceutical and, of course, lost.
Because it has not been patented.
It was with the easy thought that if a patent was issued, the manufacturing method would be disclosed, so it would never be duplicated.
The company eventually went bankrupt and Mabo Castle went bankrupt.
His family also left him due to the excruciating debt pressure.
Ma Bo-seong thought that all this was due to K-restriction.
From the next day, he started a one-man protest in front of the K-Pharmaceutical headquarters.
Luckily, his story got on the news not long after, and K-Pharmaceuticals set up a place to talk with Maboseong.
K-pharmaceutical headquarters meeting room.
The president himself came forward and led the conversation with Maboseong.
“Mr. Ma Bo-seong. It’s difficult if you do this. What the hell did our company do?”
“We didn’t steal our technology and sell it!”
“K Pharm was making the same drug. It’s hard to make random guesses. And if you really didn’t like it, you should have patented it.”
Ma Bo-seong smashed the table with his fist.
“lie! dog sound! It’s not something people like you can make! you guys stole it! I stopped you from extending the loan term, and you told the loan sharks to stick with the debt! You ruined my life!”
The CEO of K Pharm was goosebumps.
I felt madness in Mabo Castle.
It wasn’t normal.
“Whoa. whatever anyway Our company and our products overlapped and the small and medium-sized business went bankrupt, so I have a sad heart. As a consolation dimension, I will give you 2 billion in good faith. With this money, you will be able to pay off all your debts and live your life as before. Instead, don’t bring up this topic again.”
2 billion.
With this money, most of the remaining debt could be paid off.
However, this proposal from the president came to Ma Bo-seong differently.
It’s certain.
‘This bastard. You’re finally vomiting! Why would you give me money if you didn’t steal my skills!’
Ma Bo-seong lost his temper and grabbed the boss by the neck.
“pup! Die!”
The president was quite a martial arts expert, and he wasn’t the type of person who went anywhere, but the power of Maboseong was so strong that he couldn’t do anything.
He was convinced that he had experience sparring with the Awakened as well as the general public.
‘This child. Awakened… !’
“The bodyguard! This guy is an Awakener. hurry!”
The bodyguard, a former hunter, slapped Ma Bo-seong’s back and removed it from the boss.
Mabo Castle is an awakening unsuitable for battle.
The Awakened from Hunter had no choice.
The fistfight soon ended in the defeat of Maboseong.
Ma Bo-seong took out a glass bottle from his bag.
A bodyguard who thought it was a potion at first and stayed still.
But when he saw Mabo Castle taking the form he was about to throw at him, he changed his mind.
The bodyguard was determined to prepare for any contingency.
As expected, a glass bottle flew to the bodyguard.
The bodyguard managed to get it safely by hand thanks to being prepared.
He immediately returned it to Mabo Castle’s face.
Mabo Castle had no ability to avoid or catch it.
A broken glass bottle that collided with Maboseong’s face.
The liquid in it ran down his skin.
profit.
The acidic solution was bubbling and melting Maboseong’s face.
The boss and bodyguard both unwittingly covered their noses at the smell of burning flesh.
“Crazy.”
The bodyguards beat Mabo-seong and took him into custody.
If an awakened person assaulted an ordinary person, the punishment was aggravated.
Ma Bo-seong was arrested and investigated for assaulting the president of K Pharm.
K Pharmaceutical turned Maboseong into a terrorist ordered by a foreign country by turning rice cakes to reporters.
So, in the news, a criminal who attempted to bomb the K Pharmaceutical headquarters with hydrochloric acid was reported.

“Once again, I sincerely welcome all new students to the school.”
After the principal’s speech, the entrance ceremony was concluded.
According to the notice I received in advance, I am in 1st grade, Class B.
It seemed that there were only two classes, Class A and Class B.
Probably because there is not enough manpower for Awoken Teachers.
I found the classroom looking at the allocation table on the first floor of the main building.
‘Let’s see, 1st year class B… .’
As I was walking down the hallway, someone grabbed my shoulder.
“Baby really. What if I leave first!”
It was Park Ha-yeon.
The uniforms matched very well.
The school uniform of the academy is basically a skirt and a shirt.
And a winter coat.
The look of her wearing a coat was fantastic.
“what. Are you also in class B?”
“No, I’m in Class A.”
By the way, I was very upset in the morning.
I made dinner at the best, but he came in late, so we couldn’t eat together, and he said he ate all the messages… .
are you a girlfriend
“It’s a shame. It would have been nice if we were in the same class.”
Now, Ha-yeon Park has to train without a break.
It would have been nice if I could keep watching over you.
“That, right?”
Park Ha-yeon is embarrassed for some reason.
She went right into Class A.
‘Why are you doing that?’
I was enrolled in 1st year class B.
Other students had already arrived and were seated.
There was no chatter as to whether they had eaten each other yet.
I sat in the back seat and took out a pain reliever.
The penalty for using the skill yesterday is currently ongoing.
someone spoke to me
“Good morning.”
Minseo Yang.
Granddaughter of the K-group chairman, the number one business in Korea.
Unlike last time, the hairstyle was changed to a twintail.
With her small body and head, she looked like an elementary school student without fail.
“uh. long time no see.”
After greeting me, she went to the front seat and sat down.
‘You’re a good student.’
I saw that it was soon.
The episode where Yang Min-seo dies.
She is horribly murdered by the ‘K-pharmaceutical villain’.
The method was so brutal that when I first saw it, I wondered why it wasn’t 19 gold.
It was an unfavorable character, so there was not much to say. Originally, it was at the level of 5,700-character protests from countless users.
‘Would you like to live… .’
It is not difficult in today’s country.
At first I was a little annoyed at being nauseous, but now I don’t feel much.
It is bittersweet to let someone you can save die.
Soon a teacher entered the classroom.
A man full of decadence with vivid dark circles in his eyes.
He spoke with an annoyed attitude.
“My name is Song Si-yeol, who is in charge of this class. In the past, I was active as ‘Fire Punch’.”
“If it’s a fire punch… .”
“You’re an A-class hero! Your teacher is a grade A!”
“After all, it’s an academy!”
The students’ reaction was enthusiastic.
The teacher said it was not a big deal, but he was actually a famous hero.
In the first place, A-class heroes themselves are rare.
Teacher Song Si-yeol continued.
“It’s the first day today, so there are no classes, and I’m going to do group-building and simple experiential learning. In the future, the class will be conducted in groups formed today, and the groups will change every semester. I’ll give you some time so we can make a group.”
The students turned their heads and looked at each other’s faces and looked embarrassed.
“It may be sudden, but when you go out on the field as a hero, you often form a team on the spot, so think of it as a part of learning.”
murmur murmur.
The children talked to the person they liked or the person sitting next to them.
first party.
In the beginning, the difficulty is not that difficult, so it’s okay to make it any way you want.
In the game, it was used as a tutorial to teach how to organize a party.
Looking at Yang Min-seo in the distance, orders were already rushing in.
“Miss Minseo. You’re in the same group as me!”
“Min-seo Yang, if I could intervene… I have a C-class telekinesis.”
“The telekinetic power is distorted! As for me, it’s a C-class in explosive ability. Unlike the common people, my father also runs a business. Working with people of the right level… .”
The reason why people are flocking to Yang Min-seo is because of an article from K group earlier this year.
<Create hero management within 3 years>
Hero Management is a company that supports and promotes hero activities. Currently, 90% of active heroes are in management.
Thoughtful people checked the information that the granddaughter of the K group president was admitted to the academy and noticed that she was the core of K group hero management.
“Wait.”
At the words of Yang Min-seo, the crowd became quiet.
‘It’s great~’
I admired it a bit.
I sat cross-legged and pondered what to do with this guy’s group assignment.
I have no connections whatsoever.
‘The only skill I can reveal is telekinesis. After all, is this the end of the student… .’
I looked around to see if there were any other guys like him.
Then, suddenly, Yang Min-seo approaches me.
She stood in front of me and spoke.
“Mr. Shinnoda. Won’t you join me in grouping?”
“yes?”
