The Women Targeting Him
The instructors turned the recorded screen with serious expressions.
Precisely, the top student Nam Dohyeong captured in it.
“I think everyone noticed it.”
The instructor pointed directly at Nam Dohyeong with his finger.
“Not only did he not show any sign of surprise, his face was even calm.”
The others nodded.
“No matter how great an exorcist is, they would react when a ghost suddenly appears…”
“That trainee is even observing the situation as if it's amusing.”
“It seems like he was expecting something like this to happen.”
Of course, that wasn't the case.
This urgent test was secretly conducted at Cheonjihae.
It wasn't known externally, and it's impossible for a single trainee to know about it.
“So he must have seen through it as a fake.”
“But how is that possible? The ghost itself was a real one controlled by us.”
“Maybe he deduced it from other clues. The fact that a ghost appeared at Cheonjihae is already an abnormal situation.”
Various opinions were voiced, but one thing was clear.
That top student is a genius with unprecedented talent.
“This top student is really something. Not only did he see through the test, but he even enjoys himself in such a situation.”
All the other instructors nodded.
It wasn't just that he figured out the truth.
It was a confident action that all trainees, including himself, would be safe.
Without overwhelming confidence in his own judgment and ability, such a reaction couldn't be shown.
“If it were some random guy, I would have dismissed it as bluff…”
“The top student at Cheonjihae wouldn't do that. Especially since he took the top spot by defeating geniuses like Cheok Jiyeon, Yoo Yeonhwa, and Go Juyeong.”
“There was definitely a basis for it.”
This top student was already a hot topic in various ways.
He had been digging into Yoo Yeonhwa, the barrier expert, until she cried.
Few people in the current exorcist field can break through the family's barriers.
This means the top student has outstanding skill.
“This is it. Other trainees did well too. But since the top student is so outstanding, it doesn't stand out.”
“It's inevitable. They didn't see through it as a fake until the end.”
“Still, great trainees were visible. Trainee Kang Suho and Mi Nahye handled it calmly.”
Various stories were told, but the result was the same.
This top student is a special genius among all trainees.
Especially in this generation where talented people gathered, called the golden age.
It was a happy thing for Cheonjihae that a great new recruit came in.
But there were those who couldn't be happy about it.
Namely, Han Sujin and Mi Sina, who head the martial combat team and curse team respectively.
'It became a headache.'
'Ah~ This is bad.'
They had been eyeing Nam Dohyeong's talent early on and tried to pull him into their teams.
But they hadn't received a definite answer from Nam Dohyeong yet.
Moreover, they knew the other was competing for the same trainee and were subtly competing.
In such a situation, others also realized the value of Nam Dohyeong.
With so many competitors, it wouldn't be pleasant.
'Since it's come to this, there must be one way.'
'Contact as many as possible to let them know the merits of joining our team.'
Han Sujin and Mi Sina's eyes met.
As rivals, their thoughts were transparent.
Who would take Nam Dohyeong first.
Both sides were a battle of pride with no intention of yielding.

Despite all that, he safely finished his company life and returned home.
Because he got a job?
The house felt more welcoming than usual.
'There was no incident other than the fake ghost appearing during class today.'
It seemed he had adapted quite well to life at Cheonjihae.
Each day ended with lectures and reviews.
It was still at the level of teaching introductions and theories.
When the main classes started, more trainees would drop out.
“That's the guarantee that I won't become one.”
The image I have now is just a misconception caused by the instant death ability.
Soon, everyone will know my bottom.
In fact, I don't obsess over people's evaluations.
What matters is to somehow develop my skills and stay at Cheonjihae.
“Hmm, if possible, I need to develop something to fight with besides the instant death…”
Suddenly thinking about it, it wasn't easy.
Cheonjihae trainees are all people with outstanding talent.
Surviving among them is difficult.
The only good thing is that the trainee period has just started?
I need to learn basics step by step and find what exorcism method suits me.
'There were recruitment offers from the martial and curse sides…'
The problem is that I have no talent in either.
If they find out later that I have no talent, I might be chased away.
'For now, I'll listen to the lectures diligently.'
After all these worries, I entered the house.
In the living room, Chaeyoung was meditating.
'At that age, she's meditating. Our younger sister is living a very healthy life.'
Her posture with her back straight was neat.
With her eyes closed quietly, it even gave off an aura of the supernatural.
It feels like seeing a master from a martial arts novel.
That must be related to spiritual power.
'…She's working so hard, but with no talent, it's hard to succeed. I'm sorry, oppa…!'
Strictly speaking, it's not my fault, but it still bothers me.
If oppa were better, she might have succeeded more.
Unfortunately, in the original story, Chaeyoung was destined to be an ambiguous exorcist like me.
“Ah! Oppa is back?”
Chaeyoung, who had finished meditating, stood up.
“You're not coming late, are you? There's no separate black company.”
“This is fine. When I start working seriously, I'll often not come home.”
“Tsk! I don't like that. Huh?”
Nam Chaeyoung, complaining, narrowed her eyes.
She brought her nose close and sniffed, then her eyes furrowed.
“…It smells like a woman?”
“Eh? Really?”
It might be because the only people sticking to me at work are Cheok Jiyeon and Yoo Eun-hye.
It seems like the sweet scent unique to women is lingering.
“…Take it off.”
“Eh? Why?”
“Since it's laundry, take it off right now! My nose must have been stuffed up from the smell!”
“Hey, hey! Wait!”
In the end, my clothes were forcibly taken off halfway by Chaeyoung.
'Does it really smell like that?'
I don't know, but it must have been more sensitive to female Chaeyoung.
'It's only been a few days since starting work, and already smells like a working adult. If this continues, I'll become like an uncle soon.'
I need to spray some perfume tomorrow.
I can't become a smelly office worker at this age.

Yoo Yeonhwa, the second-generation chaebol.
She was kneeling on the floor.
Her dejected face was very different from her usual confident look.
But the person in front of her now was someone who could definitely make Yoo Yeonhwa like this.
“…I thought you wouldn't interfere no matter what I did, because you wouldn't be caught anywhere.”
It was the CEO of Korea's top barrier company .
Yoo Yeonhwa's mother, Yoo Mira.
“Even when you said you'd make connections and alliances at Cheonjihae to succeed, I thought so. You were a smart kid who wouldn't do anything embarrassing.”
Yoo Yeonhwa's shoulders twitched slightly.
Because the words that would come next were expected.
“Right, you proposed the bet first and got hit? Even with the barrier up?”
“Yes, yes. That's right.”
Yoo Yeonhwa said in a voice like an ant crawling.
She had talent as a barrier expert and was smart.
But in front of her living legend mother, she couldn't muster her spirit.
No, in front of her mother, even decent exorcists couldn't move.
“Were you careless?”
“No. I didn't.”
Yoo Yeonhwa answered quickly.
“The opponent was the top student at Cheonjihae. I wouldn't be that stupid to be careless against such a person.”
Of course, she had half-confirmed victory.
But that was a judgment she could make because she had set the barrier thoroughly.
“I clearly set the barrier as usual and boasted that all the techniques were perfect.”
“But even so, you got hit?”
“That top student… broke my barrier.”
Yoo Mira's eyes narrowed slightly.
“Is the top student at Cheonjihae that strong?”
“I… don't know. I haven't fought enough to judge strength.”
In fact, Yoo Yeonhwa didn't properly understand what happened.
When she came to her senses, she was already on the floor being hit.
“It's just that the top student broke my barrier. And that too, instantly, and so easily.”
The barrier Yoo Yeonhwa was proud of.
It was torn like paper.
That alone was enough to give a shock.
“Hmm… If it's true, this is a big problem.”
Yoo Mira said in a serious voice.
“You, as my daughter, learned and inherited the method of my barrier. In a way, it's like our company's secret and the foundation.”
Of course, it wasn't completely the same barrier.
Yoo Yeonhwa's immature barrier made on the spot.
It's incomparable to large-scale barriers made by investing massive resources and time at the company level.
But the principle itself is based on the same foundation.
If the top student can break other barriers as easily, what would that be?
It would be a huge threat to the company GGS.
“The biggest problem is that we don't know how the top student broke my barrier.”
It would be simple if he overwhelmed with spiritual power.
There aren't many people with that level of skill.
But if the top student broke it by some special method, it's a big problem.
The technique is likely to be used on other barriers.
“Do you understand what I'm saying?”
“Yes.”
“From now on, you need to get close to that top student.”
“Yes… Eh? What?”
“I said to get close to that top student.”
Yoo Mira said without any hesitation to her daughter's question.
“You said you'd grant my wish if you lose the bet. So, by getting close while fulfilling that, it would be fine.”
“Eh, mom? No, mother?”
“Since the top student is a man, right? As a mom, I think it would be fine since I gave birth to a high-spec beautiful one.”
“No, are you serious?”
Yoo Yeonhwa stood up abruptly and asked.
“He hit me in front of everyone! And humiliated me!”
She even peed herself from the beating.
In front of so many people!
This was the first humiliation in her life!
“Sigh! Yeonhwa.”
However, Yoo Yeonhwa woke up from her mother's sigh.
“How many employees support our company? They wouldn't hesitate to kneel for the sake of the contract.”
“Ugh!”
“But you can't even be friends with your colleague.”
“My, my words are not that…”
“I won't listen to objections. This incident is that serious.”
The barrier of GGS's only daughter was shattered in vain.
This could be connected to corporate trust.
“Somehow, get close to the top student and find out the secret of breaking the barrier. This is your mother's duty as CEO before me.”
“Ugh… I understand.”
Yoo Yeonhwa bowed her head deeply.
I couldn't say no to that.
After all, this happened because of her responsibility.
As the successor of GGS, she had to handle the aftermath.
'Ugh! But to get close to that human…!'
To smile and greet the human who hit me like that?
'How am I supposed to do that?'
I have to talk to him and close the distance.
Just thinking made my head complicated.
But I had to get close to the top student somehow.
'Even if it means not caring about means and methods…!'
