School is a Legion (6)

While Kang Shin-hyuk was directly facing the students, Claire joined Shinyoungs system support team. She was the core developer of the Royal class management system, as well as an expert on magic-based programming, which created artifacts with machines as well as alchemy. If she had worked on the system of the first gymnasium, it couldve ended without such a big sacrifice from Jormungands attack. Now, she had the task of reforming Shinyoungs system. In particular, in both security and early warning, Claires full intervention was urgent.

Up until now, even though I was asked, I refused because it was a bother.

Claire was leaning against Kang Shin-hyuks chest with her eyes closed as she discussed her new job with a bitter laugh.

I mustve made a mistake. Until now, there mustve been something else I couldve done while running a bar.

Thats ridiculous. Its arrogant to take responsibility for everything because you have the ability.

Well Yeah, I think Eunah did it.

Shin Eunah didnt hesitate to use her abilities to protect others. Sometimes, she even seemed to have a sense of mission. There were times when it went as far as an obsession that dominated her. Kang Shin-hyuk hadnt yet fully realized that it was an effort to remain a good child until the day she met Anvil again.

Every human has to live for himself I really dont like the way of life that throws yourself out for others.

Huh Ive lived thinking that way too. When I saw Eunah this time, I wondered if I was wrong.

Claire and Eunah are different.

Yes, I know, but uh, thats annoying. Its like a curse.

Claire, looking like she wasnt convinced, pouted.

What do you think about Eunah in this situation where we cant play well because of her?

From the outside, it looks like a couple of cockroaches.

When the two talked, Shin Eunah naturally came up, and the atmosphere subsided. But, even considering that, the two of them were too sticky. Perhaps it was because they couldnt stick to each other very much because of their identities, so they took the chances they could.

No, but its not enough.

Its not enough?

Yes. Hug me.

Okay.

Kang Shin-hyuk stretched out his arms and hugged her from behind, but Claire shook her head firmly.

Hold me a little tighter.

Yes, yes.

Yes Huh?!

Kang Shin-hyuk, feeling playful, hugged her so tight that she couldnt escape.

Kah, now, it tickles, kk.

He blew on her nape, having no intention of letting go even if she got annoyed. Claire began to wriggle as he used his God Wind to carry his breath.

Hah, dont, stop, weak there

Hey, are you two doing this on purpose?

Huh?

Bridget Poulsen spoke up; the woman sat across from them with several beers as she watched the lovey-dovey couple. She was sitting comfortably in her casual clothes. Despite radiating the aura of a model, her expression was a mess.

What?

Arent you two sticking together too much? Besides, I havent even talked about it.

So, who wants to interfere when this happens?

They had been able to calm their minds after a few days barely, and now they were just about to spend some alone time together. However, Bridget, who had vanished after Shin Eunahs disappearance, appeared now to interfere with them! Thats why they had a desire to show off intentionally.

Its really too much; if youre not going to talk about it, you can insert something else! Oh my, it looks good

Do you have a disease that youll die if you dont say stuff like that?!

They worried about her leaving for a few days, but they werent ready for her to return.

Then, will you talk to me now?

Whoo, we said everything we could last time.

Claire said this with a displeased look, having no intention of leaving Kang Shin-hyuks arms.

Well, thats what, right.

Immediately after the incident, Kang Shin-hyuk gave a short explanation of the current situation to Bridget. He couldnt tell her of the Hero Universe, so he lied that Shin Eunah had an artifact made by Kang Shin-hyuk that served as a locator. In fact, considering the existence of the Great Heavenly Spirit, it wasnt really a lie. When it finished evolving, it was possible to use it to find Shin Eunah.

Im sure theres something youre still hiding, but I dont think youll tell me that far.

That also gave me a hint. You need to be strong?

Ah

Bridget glanced at Kang Shin-hyuk sulkily, but he wouldnt tell her. Bridget was someone who could be trusted, but that wasnt enough. He had to wait for her to become a member of the Hero Universe. Even the administrator said it wouldnt be too long.

Well, I came here to do that, though.

What do you mean?

Well, its what I was talking about today.

Bridget threw the can of beer in her hand down on the floor.

Ive retired.

From Hollywood?

No, all of my original work.

Kang Shin-hyuk and Claire had the same shocked expression. She wouldnt let go of it even when she became a top ranker, but now she quit it? What the hell was Shin Eunah to her?

Isnt it too much? Claire quit bartending too.

Yes? No, if I talk about my bar, it was half my greed, and half that Shin-hyuk tried to flirt with Besides, nows not the time to leisurely play as a bartender.

I thought so too.

Bridget raised her head. It seemed that the decision wasnt that easy for her either as she opened her second can of beer.

I dont know what the two of you think, but I was sincere about my unnie. Oh, as a bonus, even for the Death Puppeteer.

Because thats done now.

By the way, after I saw my unnie that way and seeing such an uproar in each country I feel like I cant be a fool forever. To put it openly, I dont think Im ever going back to Hollywood.

It was very straightforward, making Bridget look like a normal person. Kang Shin-hyuk wondered if it was because of the shock she faced from losing Eunah.

Besides, the Puppeteer tells me to be strong if I want to meet her again. You werent kidding; I know its not a joke. I think I have no choice but to live as a real superhuman now.

Then, what you were gone for

Ah Yes, it is.

Bridget calmly revealed that she had been filming all night the past few days.

All the work that could be finished was forcibly finished, and what I didnt want to do was discarded at a penalty. I completely said goodbye to my manager.

You even had a manager.

She was pretty and good at working, but still not better than Eunah.

Why did the standard become Eunah?

Because the manager fucks with me

Okay, thats it.

Some dangerous words came out if you were off your guard. Kang Shin-hyuk shook his head as Claire regarded Bridget.

You, have you finished talking with Shinyoung?

Oh, howd you know?

Thats because youve been licensed here.

What?

Kang Shin-hyuk nodded. Come to think of it, Bridget couldnt enter the Royal class if she were an outsider. Yet here she was, which meant she had received permission from the school.

To be strong, I have to stick to the Death Puppeteer, right? Give it to me too, Claire.

No, I wont. I cant.

Oh, dont do that. Tonight, the three of us in the same bed

No.

They let in this walking obscene broadcast!

Anyway, thats the way it happened, so please, Mr. Puppeteer!

Huh. So what are you doing at Shinyoung? Teaching?

Youll find out tomorrow.

Bridget giggled and opened up her third can of beer. She was kicked out by Claire and forced back to her room in tears.

***

The next day, Kang Shin-hyuk clearly discovered what her work was.

Come on, show a dignified face here.

Ha

The camera on the head of the drone reflected sunlight as it floated in the air. For some reason, Kang Shin-hyuk was asked to pose alongside Bridget.

I dont think there was anything like this in my job.

Well? You said Ms. Poulsen promised to take a poster together.

Bridget

As Kang Shin-hyuk looked at Bridget grimly, she responded with a cute face.

Oh, that makes me excited.

Good, Im very excited too! My bloods boiling!

Oh, you look really good now! Now! Take it now!

Bridget quickly turned to the camera and shouted, and the drone quickly complied. What followed was a fight against Bridget, but the result was really great.

The era of movies and dramas is coming now. The world is tough, but whos watching it? Instead, the video of superhumans fighting against monsters will be a huge hit! Videos of attractive superhumans bravely conquering the gate and defending humanity! Shinyoungs reputation will increase!

Yes, I see very well that your essence remains the same

It seemed that she was changing the stage! It was a pretty good idea, but!

On that day, posters of the two were spread on the internet. Bridgets Metube account, which had been transformed into Shinyoungs official promotional channel, featured a video of her and Kang Shin-hyuk. It surpassed 50 million views in just ten hours.

The times were changing
