Chapter 42
The cafeteria was deserted on Saturday morning.
Many students overslept or left Lion’s Castle for the weekend, so it was mainly teachers and staff members.
“Hello.”
Kim Ji-Yeong—the teacher in charge of First Year Class F—and Park Min-Cheol—a school employee—ate and chatted casually before their voices gradually died down.
Kim Ji-Yeong cast a sound barrier around them, isolating their voices from the outside.
“I checked the entry records of the employees of Jaegyeong Pharmaceuticals and investigated the report of Kang Jae-Hyeok joining them. It’s true.”
“True? Hm. I didn’t expect Kim Jin-Myeong to entrust an escort mission to a first-year student. He must have a lot of trust in the kid.”
“Actually, it’s an easy mission that doesn’t require much skill.”
The personnel sent by Jaegyeong were three B-class players, five C-class players, and eight D-class players. The power of that group was more than a small guild could muster, and they certainly didn’t require their student guide to protect them.
“At first, the security forces directly escorted the employees of Jaegyeong Pharmaceuticals. But after learning all the habitats they visited for their herbs and securing a safe movement route, security let the teachers handle the task. And later on, the teachers passed it onto the students—with Kim Jin-Myeong being placed in charge of the mission’s assignment.
“Jaegyeong has used the same route for five years now. In fact, they don’t even need a guide. The student is really a token for the school faculty’s supervision. The only thing the student has to do is take care of themselves and not be a nuisance to Jaegyeong.”
