Episode 338 – Modern times (4)

Angelica said in a drowsy tone.

“You are planning to contact Hunter Choi Si-woo, right? “I’ll go there.”

For a moment, the conference room became quiet. Even the chairman sitting at the head of the table could not ignore her words.

That’s because her awakening ability was to predict the future.

“I guess I saw something from the future. “What was the result of your contact with Choi Si-woo?”
“I don’t know that either.”
“Hmm?”

When the chairman’s brow furrowed.

“Strangely, I couldn’t see a future for that person. “I guess I’ll have to go and see it with my own eyes.”

“…Wouldn’t it be dangerous?”
“Do not worry. “I saw a future where I would return to headquarters safely.”

A young man who looked anxious from earlier. Daniel shouted.

“For a moment! Angelica, you have no fighting skills. “You can’t let them out without an escort!”

She sighed.

“I will eventually agree to it, but do I have to bother convincing him? “I don’t want to repeat the same thing…”

Daniel, shocked, kept his mouth shut. As a person with precognitive abilities, her words had a lot of power.

The chairman, who had been silently thinking, spoke.

“It looks like I need an escort too. I will allow it on the condition that you be accompanied by an escort. “I will decide how to deal with Choi Si-woo after listening to Angelica’s judgment.”

She lowered her head. She acted as if she knew it would happen.

“I applied to the Hephwan Engineering Research Institute as a researcher. You will be selected soon. So you don’t have to make any plans to contact them.”

“···Oh my.”

***

Time passed, and the Salvation Guild Magic Research Institute was completed.

The two men and women in the car headed to the research lab. They were Daniel and Angelica from the Superhuman League.

“Angelica. Are you sure you’ll be okay?”

The white beauty glared at me harshly and she sighed.

“It’s annoying, so stop asking. “You know how much I hate repeating the same thing over and over again, right?”
“···Sorry.”

Daniel looked at his watch in embarrassment. There are about 30 minutes left until the entrance ceremony for the Hephwan Technology Institute.

That time when I couldn’t stand the awkwardness and tried to make a joke. Angelica suddenly took out something of her own.

Click.

She looked at my face closely with her small hand mirror.

‘Uh?’

I patted my cheek with a soft cotton pad. My body trembled at the scent of cosmetics that wafted through me.

Her head felt dizzy. There was a strange magical power in the sight of an adult woman putting on makeup.

Moreover, she who usually goes around with her bare face is wearing makeup. It was an unfamiliar scene.

“···Angelica. “Why are you wearing makeup all of a sudden?”

She paused and said without even giving her attention.

“I’m anxious because I can’t see the future clearly. “I’m just doing something.”

“All you have to do is look at Choi Si-woo’s face from afar. Why so much-“

Angelica sighed.

“I’m literally just doing this just in case. “Hunter Choi Si-woo is said to be partial to beautiful women, so there’s nothing wrong with looking pretty, right?”

“That-“
“Ha! Really···”

She even glared at me for asking a question. She had a lot she wanted to say, but she eventually kept her mouth shut.

Although she was upset, her harsh attitude was understandable. From her perspective, seeing her future, it may feel like she is repeating an explanation she has already given.

‘Okay. I’m a superior, so I can’t even be angry.’

He also knew that her natural personality was fiery, but she couldn’t help it. When I look at her haughty eyes, my feelings of irritation disappear like the melting of her eyes.

‘…I’ll endure it because it’s Angelica.’

That time when I was grumbling inside.

She paused while applying red lipstick. She looked at his face and tilted her head.

“Why, why are you like that?”
“Hmm?”

Her face suddenly got closer. She narrowed her brows as if something was strange.

“Huh..”

Her hair smelled like shampoo. Her sweet scent made it impossible for her to come to her senses.

“That’s strange. Why is your future clouded?”
“Yes?”

“It’s not that you can’t see it at all… It looks like a video that is intermittently interrupted. “Do you happen to know why?”
“Well, well?”

Danny Earl smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of her head.

Suddenly I can’t see the future. Although it was uncomfortable, it didn’t feel bad. Because somehow she felt like she had become special to her.

“It’s amazing. “What is the reason?”

For the first time, there was curiosity in her voice.

Her heart trembled as she looked into those big eyes. Without realizing it, she lowered her head. It was so burdensome that I couldn’t make eye contact.

I just stared at the floor, afraid that the crush I was secretly harboring would be revealed.

‘···No. ‘Now is your chance.’

I mustered up the courage to raise my head, but it was already too late.

“We’ve arrived. “Let’s go.”

It’s been a long time since Angelica stopped looking. I endured her disappointment and chased after her. She headed to the lab together.

“Angelica and the escort, Daniel. “Your identity has been confirmed.”

We were guided to a huge auditorium.

“···There are more people than I thought.”
“Iknow, right.”

People who appeared to be researchers crowded around. I did a rough count and there were well over a hundred people. All of them were among the world’s leading magic researchers.

How long did I wait to sit in my assigned seat?

“Welcome to the Salvation Guild Magic Research Institute. I am in charge of hosting…

The host holding the microphone continued explaining about the research institute.

“······Next, I will introduce the facilities. If you go to the east building, there is a private laboratory assigned to you…”

Daniel, who was paying attention to the host’s words, looked around.

‘I found it, Choi Si-woo.’

I found a man sitting on a platform.

He secretly raised his magic power to increase his senses. He had to figure out how strong the bastard was.

‘What?’

My eyebrows naturally furrowed. He clearly gave it his all, but felt nothing. It felt like looking at natural objects such as rocks or trees.

‘···The difference is this big?’

This phenomenon occurs when there is a significant difference in realm between awakened people.

‘No, that can’t be true. ‘That’s impossible.’

Daniel deep down thought of himself as SS level. Because he was confident that he would win even if he fought three S-class people at the same time.

So it made no sense for Choi Si-woo to be overwhelmingly stronger than him.

‘It seems like he hid his realm with an artifact like me.’

He secretly clicked his tongue and was startled. Before I knew it, Choi Si-woo’s eyes were turning in this direction.

‘···?’

His shoulders slumped but soon relaxed. Looking closely, the direction of gaze was slightly different. He wasn’t looking at himself.

‘Who on earth are you looking at?’

He followed the gaze carefully and was astonished. He was looking at Angelica next to him.

Furthermore···

Angelica’s gaze was also directed at Choi Si-woo. The eyes of the two men and women were fixed on each other. There was no sign of falling. It was as if the two of them were in a different world.

‘What!’

A sense of discomfort creeped in. The moment I unconsciously reached out to Angelica’s shoulder.

Swish.

Before he could reach her, she turned her body. Her outstretched hand split the air in vain.

She rolled her eyes, as if she was displeased with the attempt to touch her. She let out a small sigh and belatedly opened her eyes.

“Why are you doing that?”
“···Uh, that’s it.”

Before I even asked him if he had seen anything about Choi Si-woo. She answered first.

“I didn’t see anything.”
“What?”

“I can’t see anything about Hunter Choi Si-woo’s future. This is my first time doing something like this. “I feel like I’ve gone back to a time when I didn’t have any abilities.”

“How about that-“

“I don’t know. I’m also embarrassed because it’s my first time. So don’t ask.”

After giving her a quick glance, she turned her head.

“I think the reason your future became clouded was because you were involved with Hunter Choi Si-woo.”
“W-what?”
“I’m curious. I need to talk to him. “I need information.”

For some reason, an unknown sense of defeat weighed on her heart.

Her heart pounded at the attention earlier, but it was because of another man. Her fingertips were trembling.

***

Siwoo, who attended the induction ceremony as the director of the research institute, looked over the researchers.

‘Where is Angelica?’

I wanted to see in person the beautiful white woman I had seen in her resume photo.

A man with thick eyebrows in the middle gave me a disrespectful look, but I ignored it.

‘He’s a worthless guy.’

The end of the climax. I covered up the magical power with an artifact, but it was meaningless to me. Just by looking at him, his skills were clearly visible.

I left the useless man alone and focused on the woman named Angelica.

‘Oh… It’s much prettier than the picture.’

The actual product also passed the test. I didn’t know it when I looked at the resume, but when I saw it in person, I felt a strange atmosphere.

‘Somehow it feels erotic.’

Even though he was wearing a neat suit. It seemed like if I went into her back alley defenseless, I wouldn’t be able to come out unscathed. It had that much of a female scent.

The plump lips and tear spots covered in lipstick were fascinating. My languid, half-closed eyes somehow made me want to cry.

‘They said he was a non-awakened person, but he was an awakened person.’

It meant that I lied on my resume, but I didn’t really care. Because she was an outstanding beauty.

‘The distribution of magical power is also unique. ‘What are her abilities?’

Strangely enough, most of the magic power was concentrated in the upper stage. It was very different from an ordinary awakened person.

When I was examining my facial features. Her eyes also turned to me.

‘Hmm?’

Her mouth opened and she tilted her head. She narrowed her eyes as if something was strange. Her annoyed expression turned into curiosity.

I was also curious. I felt a strange power in Angelica’s eyes.

‘···This?’

It was a strange power that could not be easily grasped.

After stroking her chin, I made up my mind. To find out what powers she has.

‘It may just secretly steal your energy, but…’

At first glance, she looked like a spy, but she didn’t really want to be rough. She wanted to receive formal permission from her and give and receive her energy.

Besides, I couldn’t miss the flesh of such a beauty. I was curious about how she would bawl in her bed.
