I Will Save the World and Retire Chapter 138

The age when friends are best (3)

If you are managing an organization, there are always things to keep in mind.

Here, organizations include everything from simple friend groups to school clubs, various small groups, and corporate groups, but especially groups with a small number of members.

The number of people has nothing to do with running an organization. Depending on the purpose, there are places where only a small number of elites operate. If we were to be honest, the same could be said of the management office’s strategy teams.

Before moving on to the past, there were only teams 1 and 2 in the management office’s strategy department. When I just joined the management office, there were three teams, and when my father started the department, there were five teams.

The reason it was given three was because dungeon operation was stabilized thanks to the magic power meter. Teams 4 and 5 were evenly distributed among the remaining three teams.

But 3 teams. I had a lot of bad memories about Team 3… .

What do you think is the reason why well-run organizations collapse?

An incompetent and loud-mouthed boss?

A stupid and ambitious subordinate?

That may be so. However, in my experience, what causes an organization to collapse most quickly and reliably are the human relationships within the organization. Especially the kind that involves men and women.

Team 3 had the fewest members among the attack teams. This is because the role of Team 3 was training new recruits rather than strategy.

The team leader and vice-team leader of the 3 teams, which consisted of at most 10 people, were lovers. Yes, lover. The lovers, who seemed like they could never live together, found themselves on three legs only within the same team. To each their own. Each.

This political drama, which showed the miraculous arithmetic of the 25,000 people involved, including the team leader and vice team leader, ended with the resignation of all involved. When half of the team members flew away, the remaining ones also got along and left the company one by one.

This happened exactly six months after I joined the management office. This also happened less than a month after the affair between Team 3’s team leader and deputy team leader was discovered.

After that, training for new recruits was handed over to Yoo Ji-eun. Yoo Ji-eun gritted her teeth and said that if she ever saw those kites again, she would cut his head. Fortunately or unfortunately, I heard that the team leader and assistant team leader moved to Europe.

Well, even if it’s not necessarily the shame of this ugly management office, haven’t you ever heard tearful advice from seniors during your college life that you shouldn’t date people in the same department?

At least in college, you can avoid it by taking a leave of absence or graduating.

This means that in order to prevent the world from destruction, there should never be any awkwardness among pilot high school students!

Why am I teaching this guy!

… It feels like that purpose is fading a bit these days, but at least that’s what I thought when I was first brought to Hong Seok-young.

“I’m slowly getting used to you.”

As I was quietly glaring at Park Seo-hyun and Choi Jin-woo, who were whispering and giggling to each other about what was so fun, Hong Seok-young sneakily approached me and spoke to me.

I watched that scene for a while before reacting to Hong Seok-young one beat late.

“… yes?”

“To your teacher.”

Seokyoung Hong grinned. Kim Chae-min tilted her head and looked at me and Hong Seok-young alternately.

“Have you ever heard of someone thinking too much?”

“… … .”

“doesn’t exist?”

My pride was hurt.

I frowned and finally answered.

“… there is.”

“once?”

“… … “Many times.”

“yes?”

Hong Seok-young laughed happily.

“I just got the feeling, you seem to be thinking nonsense.”

‘Heejae. In his opinion, you have too many unnecessary worries.’

“Wouldn’t we be able to prepare by considering various situations?”

“You can’t prepare for everything that happens in the world.”

‘There’s no use worrying about something that hasn’t happened yet.’

“I just think it will work out well. That’s the best. “My head doesn’t hurt.”

‘So, just think about fun things. ‘The world is going better than you think.’

good… It’s fun.

What if everything goes well?

I saw Park Seo-hyun and Choi Jin-woo again. He touches her head and giggles, then bursts into laughter when her eyes meet.

okay. Park Seo-hyun, who was the person I was most worried about, seemed to be mentally stable. It’s better for him to have a friend to talk to than to worry alone and keep it to himself.

I narrowed my eyes.

Please end this friendship.

If it’s going to turn into love, prepare to get married. Because she couldn’t lose her future power as an archmage because of something like that.

… I know I went too far. I scratched my head.

Next to me, Hong Seok-young laughed mirthlessly, as if he knew what I was thinking.

* * *

It was half a day later that I was able to hear Kim Chae-min explain what exactly happened.

As I was wandering in a space without a single light, I had no sense of time. By the time we came out to check on the kids and sort out the situation, several hours had already passed.

It was an embarrassing thing for Kim Chae-min, and she said she was busy guiding Choi Jin-woo in order to wake Park Seo-hyun without being shocked.

So I forgot to contact Lee Mi-seon.

Lee Mi-seon, I know you’re embarrassed because you can’t contact your nephew and subordinates, but why did you only call Hong Seok-young and me? Even Kim Chae-min comes to mind.

There is no way to lose contact with Hong Seok-young unless you enter the dungeon, so I understand that Lee Mi-seon’s eyes went blank the moment she couldn’t answer the phone and she came all the way here in a hurry.

But wouldn’t it have been better to call Kim Chae-min?

Eventually, another faculty meeting was held.

“If it’s a faculty and staff meeting, shouldn’t the chairman be absent?”

“Are you ignoring the chairman now?”

“Anyway, my salary comes from Mr. Hong’s personal bank account.”

“Can you still say that even if the pilot high school becomes a formal educational institution, Mr. Wu?”

“Could it be that the Daseon Guild Master wants to ruin the poor teacher’s life?”

I shrugged my shoulders.

“I think there’s a reporter who would really like that news. “To become a big person, he has to be on the news.”

Well, do you really have an affair with Lee Mi-seon?

I grinned.

“You know it’s a joke, right?”

Lee Mi-seon looked at me with a shocked expression.

“Hunter Hong. Hunter, a guild member is harassing me. “Do you have anything to say?”

“hmm? Then it will bother you too.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

I exchanged glances with Lee Mi-seon.

Hong Seok-young is not helpful at all.

I stopped joking and made sure I understood Kim Chae-min’s explanation correctly.

“So, Mr. Kim. Are you saying that Park Seo-hyun’s magic has run away? An accident while teaching an area?”

“This happened because Seohyun’s attributes have great synergy with her area. If I had known, I would have been careful… . “This won’t happen next time.”

“And student Jinwoo Choi… .”

“Jinwoo! Jinwoo realized his magic power, right? “Oh my god, I really didn’t even think about it.”

When Choi Jin-woo’s story came out, Kim Chae-min’s face brightened.

“Honestly, Jinwoo still lacks a lot in other areas to be called a wizard, right? He was good at things like shields, probably because he practiced a lot, but other than that… .”

“Yes.”

“Actually, there wasn’t that much progress with the light magic that Seohyun teaches. I think it was because it didn’t touch me as much as other elemental magic. Oh my, my. From now on, I will try taking classes at night with Jinwoo. You have to do it when it’s dark to see the light well, right? “Why didn’t I think of such an obvious thing?”

“Mr. Kim.”

Kim Chae-min chatted for a while about the direction of Choi Jin-woo’s class before finally coming to his senses.

When I looked at Kim Chae-min like that, I felt a sense of pity for him. How does someone who happens to be a great wizard teach children here?

Anyway. It was because I was hooked by the rune.

“Ah, yes. Anyway, Seohyun attacked me, but Jinwoo just pushed me away. So, Jinwoo stopped him from going in, and he suggested using magic… .”

“That lantern.”

“yes. “That’s it.”

Kim Chae-min straightened his shoulders.

“I’ve never seen Seohyun’s grandfather’s unique magic, so it’s hard to say… . Jinwoo imitated it. “In his own way.”

“Imitated original magic?”

“It’s a little different from Teacher Park’s magic. “Mr. Park guided her along the way, and she didn’t light it up so drastically.”

“But the results will be similar.”

“Imitate it?”

Kim Chae-min narrowed his eyes. Choi Jin-woo seems so proud that he doesn’t know what to do.

“You can understand the terrain of the area illuminated by the lantern. So, like drawing a map?”

I frowned. Rather than a map… .

Isn’t that a map hack?

“It’s still unstable, and I don’t know whether Jinwoo will be able to complete the magic like this or not. “Many wizards reach this stage, but only a few are awakened to unique magic.”

Kim Chae-min, one of those very few magicians, said.

“Seohyun’s magic… Or area. That would also be the basis for unique magic.”

I half expected this when I was in there.

Witch Park Seo-hyun’s unique magic.

[Lamp sinking in swamp]

[Creates a swamp centered around the caster. It looks like a shadow, but it draws those standing on it into the shadow.]

[It is unknown what happens to those who fall into the swamp. Daniel Schneider, the German wizard who was the only one to enter the swamp, refused all related questions.]

[There are currently five confirmed variants, and the forms that Seohyun Park uses most often are swamp and hemisphere.]

[The largest size of the magic witnessed is a radius of 10m. According to Memorial’s Oh Hyun-wook’s remarks, it is believed that this is not Park Seo-hyun’s limitation.]

Isn’t he one of the few great wizards in Korea? Naturally, data on Park Seo-hyun’s unique magic was added whenever the opportunity arose.

The space that Park Seo-hyun created was so thin that it could easily be torn apart if a little force was applied, but the witch… No, the space that Grand Wizard Park Seo-hyun created would not have been such a shallow shadow.

Darkness without a single light, not even able to see my own body. The ultimate prison with no way out.

“But Seohyun’s magic is dangerous even to you.”

Kim Chae-min said that Choi Jin-woo found Park Seo-hyun in the magic we were in. He said that he used magic to wake up Park Seo-hyun in the first place.

However, Kim Chae-min smiled brightly again.

“So, I can’t tell you how lucky I am to have Jinwoo! “You two are so good together?”

“… “Shouldn’t we say this is not right?”

“That’s good!”

Kim Chae-min spoke firmly.

“It’s easy for Seohyun to get lost in her own magic, but there’s someone by her side who can wake her up at any time.”

“what… .”

“It’s the same with Jinwoo. Isn’t it good to get a feel for using magic several times in a similar environment to when you awakened it? However, it is usually difficult to artificially create such an environment… .”

I understood it without having to listen to Kim Chae-min any more.

“Every time Park Seo-hyun uses magic, a similar environment is created?”

“Yes! Ah, priests helping each other! “Isn’t it so cool?”

Let’s put Kim Chae-min, who is ecstatic, aside for a moment.

In other words, to summarize, isn’t it okay to use Choi Jin-woo as a safety device for Park Seo-hyun?

Just like when the witch Park Seo-hyun sometimes goes crazy, the pig Oh Hyun-wook digs up the magic storm and calms it down.

“… … .”

Choi Jin-woo is better than Oh Hyun-wook. It’s hard to be worse than a piglet, though.

Even though it was a faculty and staff meeting, it was more of a hearing of the situation, and it was not a matter of discussing right or wrong.

Kim Chae-min grabbed Lee Mi-sun and left the conference room, pretending not to see her talking about the talents of Park Seo-hyun and Choi Jin-woo.

“… … .”

Without having to go far, I immediately ran into Park Seo-hyun and Choi Jin-woo.

“that… Hey, thank you.”

“uh?”

“If it weren’t for your magic, we would have been in real trouble.”

He quickly hid himself. She leaned against the wall and listened to their conversation.

“Me, when I was young. I always thought I had to please my grandfather… . My grandfather always sat looking at a picture of my father, and when I used magic, he smiled happily. so. I wanted my grandfather to cheer up… .”

I closed my eyes.

This is a story I shouldn’t hear.

If I want to hear this story, Park Seo-hyun has to tell it herself.

I left without hearing any more. This is why I like having a spacious house. You can go another way too.

After all, at that age, don’t you try to do everything with your friends? It would be even more so if it was a boarding school where you had to be together all day.

I shrugged my shoulders.

It will work out just as my father said. Even if I pay attention, my head only hurts.
