7. Baek Hyun-seo’s Regrets
blurred vision. not breathing well. Even in the state of the nausea rising, Baek Hyun-seo kept repeating himself.
‘If only I didn’t do such stupid things…’
She prayed earnestly before her body lost strength.
‘When I wake up, I hope everything is just a nightmare. If this is real, I hope we can turn back time…’
She trembled and eventually passed out.

Baek Hyun-seo. Her simple and worst choice begins two days ago when she discovers the intranet master key of Helmund Academy in her father’s room, the president.
“father. What’s the magic tool in this drawer? I think it’s the first time I’ve seen it.”
Baek Hyun-seo, who was cleaning his father’s room, looked curiously at the new magic tools that he had never seen in the drawer of his father’s room and talked. The magic tool, unlike the normal ones, was emitting very powerful mana.
Helmund Academy President, Joo-Seok Baek spoke.
“Ah, that. A magic tool that manages the academy intranet. I’m going to keep it there from today. If you touch it wrongly, it can cause serious trouble, so don’t touch it and leave it as it is, okay?”
“Ah…the master key you gave me last time? By the way, it’s amazing to see the personal information of the people of Helmund Academy in such a small place.”
“hahaha. It is safe to say that it contains not only some of the personal information, but all of it.”
“Wow, is all the information written down? Nothing missing?”
“Well, you can see that in general. Starting with the wizard’s personal identification number, you can view everything from phone number, date of birth, conversation history, possessed magic, and even the Hunter rank that the person has been officially granted. Of course, there is no way to find out if you hide your own magic, but at least you can see all the magic registered in Helmund Academy.”
“In a word, the academy sends and transmits, and if it is registered, you can check everything.”
“Wow, that’s great.”
President Baek Joo-seok thought with a smile at his daughter, Baek Hyun-seo, who was curiously looking at the master key.
‘Heh, you naive boy. Looking at the reaction, you don’t really understand how valuable that information is. It’s not that difficult to ruin a person’s life if they abuse the intranet.’
Of course, if the intranet is abused at will, the investigation of the Magical Investigation Agency may come in. If you make a mistake, something really big can happen, so even the president tends to maintain the intranet without touching it unless it is absolutely necessary.
Seeing Baek Hyun-seo curiously looking around the magic tools, Baek Ju-seok thought.
‘Maybe seo will not use it?’
Baek Ju-suk suddenly felt uneasy, but quickly changed his mind.
‘What kind of magic tool is used by a kid who doesn’t use his cell phone to worry about unnecessary things.’
Baek Joo-seok spoke to his daughter again.
“Anyway, it’s a very sensitive magic tool, so be careful not to break it while cleaning it. I have nothing more than what my father carries.”
“Hmm… If you’re worried about that, can’t your father just seal the magic tools? Even if I don’t have to break it down, maybe a thief can get it.”
“It’s like a delicate magic tool, and if you arbitrarily put something like a seal, it might break. And don’t worry, no one can enter my house anyway because of the barrier that my father put on it.”
Baek Joo-seok wore a t-shirt and ties a tie meticulously.
“Oh. And my father went on a business trip today and went straight to the academy tomorrow. Can I go to the academy alone today and tomorrow?”
“yes. am i a little girl I’m an adult now, so don’t worry about that.”
“okay. Don’t be late this time.”
Baek Joo-seok, who was pounding his shoes and crumpled his feet in them, said with a slight frown.
“By the way, it’s Hyunseo. You said you got a failing point this time too?”
“That f*cking instructor, Joo-Won Choi. Even if I tell you to take good care of you like that, you won’t eat it. I’m going to die of heat.”
“Don’t do that. I don’t want to be treated special, and I’m not really interested in classes. If you don’t have anything to do later, you can just let your father get a job at the academy, right?”
“Hmm, I mean, you don’t like it at all. First of all, I’m on a business trip, so let’s talk again when I go to the academy tomorrow.”
“You don’t have to..”
“done.”
-bang
The president of Helmund Academy, who suddenly became sensitive when talking about s*xuality, strongly shut the door and went outside, thinking.
‘The ignorant bastard. On the topic of a lecturer, if I were the president, I would put it down, giving my daughter-in-law a failing point every time.’
Joo-Won Choi, who started his career as a D-Class instructor a few years ago and is now evaluated as an S-Class instructor at Helmund Academy.
To the president these days, he is both a duck that lays golden eggs and a thorn in his eyes.
‘A lot of students are attracted to me, but I don’t like it at all because I’m acting arbitrarily.’
In the past, when the academy was small, it is true that I benefited from that damn instructor a lot.
Joo-won Choi, who suddenly appeared like a comet, created a theory on how to effectively use magic against monsters based on his own experience of exploring various gates while working as a hunter.
And, he taught the academy students how to apply magic in order to efficiently explore dungeons.
In the past, wizards were largely rejected from exploring dungeons inside the gate due to their lack of physical strength and long magic casting time, but as Joo-Won Choi’s theory of using various magic and items began to appear in the world, this mechanism completely changed.
The reason is simple. This is because the students who listened to his class and went out to explore the dungeon performed outstanding performances one after another.
As a result, aspiring magical hunters who are trying to turn their lives around with the magic stones and various by-products that can be obtained from monsters start to flock to the Helmund Academy, and the Helmund Academy enters a period of its greatest revival.
‘But that’s all a thing of the past.’
At that time, the scale of the academy was smaller than it is now, and the number of instructors was small, so Joo-won Choi had to endure whether or not she behaves as she pleases, but now it is not.
‘The knowledge that can be sucked up has been sucked up for several years, so there’s no way this huge academy won’t turn out without one of them anyway.’
People were proud of me as an S-class instructor, but to be honest, it was difficult for the president to agree with that statement. Now, there are plenty of other instructors besides Choi Joo-won.
Also, up until now, the president had only made up his mind, but he had made a decision some time ago. Joo-won Choi, if there is an opportunity to kick him out. The decision to get kicked out at any time.
‘If anything is good, there is only one reason to kick him out. please.’

After the president left, Baek Hyun-seo opened his father’s drawer again and looked around the master key.
‘Wow… the mana you feel is not a joke.. Isn’t this an A-class or S-class artifact?”
That time when she was fascinated by the brilliant mana flowing from the intranet master key and looked around. Suddenly, I remembered my father maintaining the master key.
‘I must have pressed the button on the back of this place and drained mana…’
– click
When the hidden button was pressed, a peculiar voice began to be heard. It is an artificial intelligence created by magic that is in charge of the intranet master key.
[You have activated the Helmund Academy intranet master key.]
[Authentication begins…. Collects mana for inspection in the body.]
– Whoo Woong
In an instant, regardless of Baek Hyun-seo’s will, mana began to be sucked in through the master key.
[Tiring! Registered User: It matches over 99.7% with Ju Seok Baek’s mana DNA. It is judged as a normal category, and the master key is activated.]
[Get user’s information…..]
[Baek Hyun-seo. welcome.]
‘What…what?…’
Baek Hyun-seo was captivated by the vast scene unfolding before his eyes for a moment.
Numerous data files in the form of people’s data were floating there. Baek Hyun-seo doesn’t use a cell phone, but she’s seen a lot of her friends’ smartphones, so she could get a glimpse of it.
‘Is that a messenger app?’
When she thought that she wanted to see the messenger in her head, the conversation log of ‘Lee Haru’ and ‘Kim Si-yeon’, who were in the same class, appeared.
– hey. Today, instructor Joo-won Choi greeted me as I passed by?
– Crazy. I’m really envious of this day. Why don’t I say hello?
– Dreaming~ I’m a model student who always gets only A grades. How can I receive joy when I only get D grades like you?
– Oh, it’s really disgusting to say that.
– I’m sorry, but is that true? I have to say goodbye tomorrow. Ha.. What should I do if she says she really likes me later on, Siyeon?
– Crazy bitch, wake up from your dreams. Why does such a popular teacher like you? If Sam knew you were doing this, would he be really creepy?
– What did you say. How would you know this? This messenger’s security magic is class A, bitch.
– You can watch it on the intranet. Didn’t you hear that? Instructor punished for stealing information from another academy to the intranet.
– …can it happen? If that’s the case, I think it would be really creepy.
– Look at the change of attitude. Before, I acted like I would like everything I did.
– Hey, how do you like a crazy pervert who spys on other people’s conversations anyway? Don’t be creepy, really. Of course, our Joo Won can’t do that.
– Siyeon-ah. I’m sorry, but I’m going to go make chocolate for the instructor. It’s Joo Won’s birthday tomorrow.
– Ha..Crazy…Is it your instructor’s birthday tomorrow? thanks for the info
– hahaha again, really.
After that, Baek Hyun-seo looked at the conversations of numerous students as if possessed by something.
‘What is it…there are so many kids who like you?…’
Baek Hyun-seo bit his nails and trembled with his legs as if anxiously.
In fact, Baek Hyun-seo had a slight crush on Choi Joo-won for a long time. It was because I liked his firm and upright personality. Of course, not to mention the ability.
She remembered the conversation she had with Instructor Joo-Won Choi in the last class.
– It is a failing point.
– Instructor, please take a look!
– Don’t even think about asking me to take a look. Attend class properly and do the assignments that are given to you. Then I’ll give you a high score even if you don’t give it to me.
– Hmm… you know my father is the president, right? You shouldn’t do this to me.
– So what. If you want to go and get there, do as you please. And live like this for the rest of your life.
After speaking harshly, Choi Joo-won said while scratching his cheek, wondering if he wanted to say too much.
– …even if you don’t want to listen to me now, if you go on a field expedition to the gate later, what you’ve learned will be very helpful. You too will be promoting as a hunter later, so don’t regret it.
All the other instructors gave B or A with a smile even if they didn’t talk first because of their authority as the president’s daughter. Even if I didn’t attend at all, I was given a C rather than an F, which is a failing point.
However, Joo-Won Choi was different from other instructors. Whether I was the president’s daughter or not, he treated me as just one student and genuinely cared about my future.
She wanted to hear Choi Joo-won’s sincere concerns, which she sometimes did, so she denies that she has a growing affinity for her, as she sometimes even skips assignments or classes, or pretends to sleep during class, to the point of doing things that may attract attention. couldn’t
‘I guess… action is needed.’
Baek Hyun-seo started looking at the conversation again.
– Hey, how do you like a crazy pervert who spys on other people’s conversations anyway? Don’t be creepy, really. Of course, our Joo Won can’t do that.
Baekhyun-seo thought as he looked at the conversation.
‘What if the instructor spies on the intranet?… The instructor’s reputation will drop a little, but the kids won’t like it anymore..’
She had never sent a message with her friends, let alone a messenger app, and could not accurately imagine how bad it felt to have others spy on her conversations. Also, the importance of the information contained in the intranet was not properly grasped.
Baekhyun-seo muttered to herself.
“But there’s no way Instructor Joo-Won Choi can see the intranet all of a sudden.. If you want to frame the instructor for seeing the intranet.. what should I do..”
At that moment, the magical artificial intelligence AI of the intranet was activated.
– Recognize user’s commands.
– I’m looking for a way…
– We searched for the best solution. carry out the command.
– Get the ID of ‘Joowon Choi’ recorded in the database.
-The ID of ‘Choi Joo-won’ is Chlwndnjs111. Would you like to log access to the intranet with this account?
[Yes] [No]
‘Is this..Is there a record when I just press this?…’
She was bewildered by the gagging window in front of her, but she clicked ‘Yes’ without realizing it.
– woo woo
With a loud wind noise, she was kicked out of the intranet.
– We are changing the intranet access record…….
I don’t know the exact principle, but somehow, it seems that the connection record was created with Choi Joo-won’s ID.
Baek Hyun-seo, who was listening to the sound, thought with excitement.
‘Now, if my father goes to work tomorrow and checks the record, what will he say to the instructor, and the other children will naturally know?’
‘I’m glad.. Now I don’t have to worry about other kids’
‘I said tomorrow is the instructor’s birthday, so if the kids are swearing at them, I will naturally give them a cake and comfort them. Roughly speaking, I trust the instructor. Can we talk like this?’
When I checked the time on the clock at home, it was already afternoon. It seems that he didn’t even know the time was passing because he was searching through the history of the messenger app.
‘Ah..it’s late today..it’s late anyway.
She grabbed her wallet and went outside.
– profit
Baek Hyun-seo’s father is there. Baek Joo-seok was standing there.
“Ahhhh!”
Baek Hyun-seo, startled, fell backwards.
“Ah..Father..Chu..Didn’t you say you were going on a business trip?…Why did you come back…”
Baek Joo-seok looked at her with an angry face.
In Baek Ju-suk’s hand, apart from the spare master key at home, the main master key he usually carried was shining brightly.
Helmund Academy’s president, Baek Ju-seok, spoke to his daughter with a serious expression.
“Baekhyun-seo. Did you ever use the master key?”
