Chapter 13 (1/2)

So, the survivors from the Humanities and Social Sciences building mingled with the people who belonged to the student council. Then Daesung cast his glance at Sungwoo. In fact, he glanced over the skeletons around Sungwoo with a wary eye.

“What are these monsters?”

“As you know, they are from the occupation card that I chose.”

“You chose the monsters that kill humans?”

Sungwoo instantly sensed that this guy’s words were pregnant with wicked intentions. This guy chose offensive and negative words on purpose. Besides, he raised his voice so those around him could hear.

‘You’re trying to portray me as a dangerous man.’

This guy was as rude as Jinsok, but in fact, he was much worse than Jinsok. He was like a cunning chap accustomed to bullying people.

“I’m sorry to tell you this, but if you join my group, please smash all these monsters here.”

“No, I can’t,” Sungwoo replied without any hesitation. Daesung snorted with derision, then looked around at the people and shrugged his shoulders proudly.

Obviously he was trying to add more weight to his argument by making use of mob psychology.

“Are you going to keep these unidentified and disgusting monsters that kill humans around us?”

“What? Disgusting? Well, actually they are…”

“But they’re cute.”

“…Hanho, be quiet!”

Clap, clap.

“Be quiet, you guys. Anyway, I’m sorry, but I can’t. Smashing them is like disarming my weapons. Can you walk around without a weapon in this situation if I tell you to do so?”

“Um, I don’t know. But we can protect you, right? You will be safer here than you are with these several monsters that look sloppy.”

Then Daesung stuck out his chest furtively.

‘What the heck? Does he want me to look at the chainmail inside his jumper?’

Sungwoo laughed sarcastically. How could he describe the skeletons as sloppy monsters? He didn’t know anything about them.

“How can I trust you? Well, my trust in you has almost disappeared because of what you said a moment ago. I was with a man who said the same thing up until a little while ago.”

While saying so, he looked at Jinsok. Although he was silent, dejected by Sungwoo’s reproach a little while ago, Jinsok was clearly getting angry at the moment. He was like a puppy bearing its teeth beside its master.

“Well, if you insist. I’m sorry, but you can’t join my group here. Think carefully. It’s not time for you to keep your head up. I’ll give you one last chance. Let’s stay alert and think about it carefully.”

Right at that moment, Jisu came forward and shouted, “Oh, you’re speaking on both sides of the conversation! Did we say we wanted to join your group? Do you think you guys in the student council play a great role? If you think that way, that’s sick!”

Daesung wiggled his eyebrows at her thunderous condemnation.

“…You must be the chair of the social physical education department, right?”

“Nope. Does it matter at all when my school’s gone bankrupt? Hey, you, 25-year-old Daesung Park! How long are you going to play with your title?”

“…”

It seemed that Jisu had hated him for a long time. Otherwise, she would not have treated him so harshly.

“Jisu, would you please calm down and come to our side? You’ll regret it later if you don’t.”

Jisu blew a raspberry at him.

“Please stop being hypocritical! You are pretending to do something good for the school, but I know you siphoned off several million won by fabricating receipts with the stage setup company during the campus festival. It’s me who tipped the school paper off about it!”

Daesung tried his best to calm down, but he lost his face because of her personal attack. And the students who heard her began murmuring.

After all, he lowered his head and let out a long sigh.

“Ha…I can’t help it anymore. Please go away. The monsters will go crazy if you keep disturbing them.”

“Yes, please. Damn it.”

Jisu turned away first and Sungwoo also followed suit without any regret. Although Hanho made an annoyed expression, he also followed Sungwoo.

Then Daesung suddenly shouted at them angrily, “You’re going to have regrets. We’d be better off standing together in this situation. Have you heard about the synergistic effect? You will regret going around in such a small group right before you are killed. Assholes…”
