Just as Professor Tak Won-ho said.

The plan only described the basic establishment measures, and the specific timing, scale, support direction, etc. were described as subject to further discussion.

Anyway, since Im the person involved, it will consist of consultations with me.

Still, as I was carefully reading the plan, I asked Professor Tak Won-ho.

If its a student clan, is it a clan established within the academy?

Thats not it. Its just tentatively called a student clan, the academy cant establish a clan that pursues private interests due to external agreements. However, this is support provided to you by the Tak Group and Foundation in the form of scholarships.

At those words, I scratched my head and asked again.

Still, wont there be pressure from the foundation? I think it would be more difficult not to interfere with support on such a large scale.

A puppet clan where the foundation interferes here and there.

If it was such a clan, it was actually a more toxic offer to accept.

However, Professor Tak Won-ho responded firmly to him with a stern face.

Not at all. As the person in charge of this support project, I guarantee that that will never happen. The management will also be formed by the personnel you choose. In the first place, since it is a business notarized and supervised by the Holder Association, there is not even a slight possibility of that happening.

The Association?

Yes. The chairman was very positive about this plan. He said he would unconditionally support the clan created by the national hero.

National hero.

How far up does it go?

While the excessive elevation of those around me was burdensome, the feeling of being recognized for my accomplishments wasnt bad.

As I felt before, the favor of the Korean Holder Association and its chairman towards me seems quite deep.

It wasnt just because I successfully completed this operation.

I must have contributed quite a bit so far.

8 months since I became a rune Holder.

From the F-grade Holder I started with to the B-grade Holder I became.

The results I produced in half a year were tremendous.

From the underground dungeon of the unreported academy, goblin villages, forest covered by snakes, stained rock piles, nest covered by clouds, field hunting and disaster monster hunting, and more.

While these results became the foundation for my growth, they were also results that made the association, who was in charge, grin from ear to ear.

Just the discovery of new dungeons and magic stone trading results were enough to be selected as Holder of the Year.

In this situation, playing a key role in subjugating <Villain> It would have been strange if the association didnt like me.

Clan establishment, huh.

I felt excited about the proposal Professor Tak Won-ho handed over.

Establishing a new clan.

It wasnt something I hadnt thought about before.

I had thought about wanting to create and run a clan led by me someday, but I didnt know that vague thing would be brought forward like this.

It will be fun.

And surprisingly

I didnt feel afraid of that acceleration.

When I established the <Anti-Villain> Circle, I felt it again, but when I take on something new, I usually feel more passion.

Hunting S-grade monsters, conquering top-tier dungeons, suppressing the worst criminal organizations.

So far, many incidents I have solved contain only unfamiliar and difficult things that seemed difficult.

Establishing a clan was the same.

No matter how much support I receive, it seems impossible at first glance for a first year academy student to establish a clan.

But there I felt enthusiasm again.

I can do it.

Im sure I can do it.

Or what if I fail.

Failure was not scary.

If it collapsed, it was just a matter of getting up again.

Not only the Holder system, but all things in the world were the same.

Ive done well so far, and I was prepared to accept the mistakes that would happen in return for that overcompensation.

The excessive sense of burden also seemed to have reached the point where I could now enjoy it as an appropriate tension.

As I folded the plan and put it in my arms, I answered.

I understand. Then Ill discuss this part again later. After all, the business start is from next year, right?

You know it well. It will be the 2nd semester of next year at the earliest.

Then I can discuss it more slowly. Thank you for taking care of me. I only receive help from my Master.

Hmm. Its the opposite, I think.

Although he speaks so stiffly, there was actually a very subtle smile on his lips.

My Master was also quite weak in emotional control.

When there was a pleasant incident, he couldnt hide his expression at all.

So I also swallowed my laughter inwardly and got up from my seat.

And then suddenly remembering one point, I tilted my head and asked.

As soon as we sat down, Moon Ga-eun naturally started ordering food.

Boss, order!

Yes, what would you like?

2 servings of braised pollock here.

Got 2 servings of braised pollock.

Listening to that short exchange, I unconsciously murmured.

Braised pol?

Huh? Whats up Jae-hyun?

Ah, nothing.

Its definitely different since its a famous braised pollock restaurant.

Anyway, Moon Ga-eun is now naturally calling me by my first name.

Just a few days ago she was still calling me Do Jae-hyun, so this is good progress.

Actually until I became conscious of it just now, I didnt think much about addressing her by her last name either, but being called by my first name now, it feels a lot more familiar.

Hows the feeling?

Feeling about what?

Becoming the academys hero. Going from someone only we knew about to a famous domestic awakener reported on the news. The academys hero, Do Jae-hyun! A slogan like that.

Ugh Not you too. Im so embarrassed I could die.

Ahaha.

As if to get back at me for getting teased all this time, Moon Ga-eun kept poking fun at me.

Entering this restaurant, I could feel gazes on me, making me uneasy.

Is this that celebrity disease or something?

The symptoms were very serious.

Anyway, our conversation mainly revolved around the events surrounding this last mission.

In the middle of that, the topic of Moon Ga-euns father, Moon Jung-hyuk came up.

Dad keeps talking about it lately.

About what?

When well announce were dating.

Pfthahaha-

I barely held back spitting out my drink.

In a flustered voice I asked back.

Hes, hes still on about that?

Its not that hes still on about it, its gotten worse. Since you got so famous this time, he got even more excited himself probably. His daughters boyfriend is a big shot after all.

Ah.

Thinking about Moon Jung-hyuks meddlesome personality, thats certainly plausible.

It was a meddling of a different kind from Kang Woo-hyuns.

So what did you tell him?

What could I say. On the contrary I used that as an excuse. Saying itll be hard to meet if everyone outside knows since you got so famous. Its better to keep dating secretly. Think about celebrities and all. Well, something like that.

Nice, thats a good cover.

Anyone hearing that would find it believable.

Praising her quick witted response, Moon Ga-eun burst out laughing.

Ahaha, right, right?

Yeah. You seem totally different from the Ga-eun I know. Who are you?

Hisss Do you want to die? Always address me formally.

Sorry.

While joking and laughing together like that.

The food we were waiting for came out.

Various types of clean tasting side dishes and light broth soup.

Flashy yet subtle visuals.

The table setting for this restaurants signature menu, braised pollock.

Thanks for the food!

With an excited expression, Moon Ga-eun picked up her chopsticks.

Despite my doubts, I also picked up my chopsticks.

Naturally picking up a piece of braised pollock and putting it in my mouth.

And.

Ah.

I squeezed my eyes shut.

The familiar flavor filling my mouth.

A taste bringing feelings of familiarity and irritation at the same time.

Ugh

I knew it, braised pollock.
