The Novel's Extra (0-100)

Chapter 82 - Teamwork (3)

"Ehew."

After returning to the magicians' dorm, Tomer let out a deep sigh.

[Tomer, why is the mission being delayed? Are there other variables?]

Her boss sent her a grumpy message.

Tomer's mission was to injure or weaken Rachel. She only had to make Rachel take a break from her usual daily life for a bit.

With the cooperation from Djinns acting as spies in Cube's executives, she thought she could quickly take care of this mission and go back, but there was a constant heckler obstructing her.

"Do I have to take care of him first...?"

Nowadays, she felt sour just seeing Kim Hajin's face. Every time she tried to do something, he seemingly appeared out of nowhere and foiled her plans. Whether it was before class, during class, or after class, Kim Hajin refused to leave Rachel's side.

"Tsk, can't he know his place?"

Tomer simply couldn't understand how a rank 334 cadet had the gall to act so straightforward. She already investigated his background, and he didn't even have parents, much less a proper backing. Did he really believe that he could win a beauty's heart just with courage?

"...Wait."

A flash of insight sparked in Tomer's head.

Kim Hajin had strong feelings for Rachel. Tomer was sure of it. However, although she didn't openly show it, Rachel was undoubtedly uncomfortable with his advances.

He was trying to make a move one-sidedly.

There were many ways to spread malicious rumors. You could bad-mouth someone behind their back, or you could exaggerate rumors that were already present.

But for now, there was no need for such complicated schemes.

She just had to say things as she saw them, albeit exaggerating things a little.

To do that... she would have to first get close to Kim Hajin and Rachel... no, to the entire team.

Tomer messaged her boss.

[Is the mission really just to separate this girl?]

[That's right. Afterward, the agent we dispatched will take care of the rest.]

'Good, it's time for a change of plans.' Tomer laughed maniacally.

It was then.

Her smartwatch vibrated. The especially intense vibration signaled that it was from Violet Banquet. Tomer quickly turned on her smartwatch.

[Truth Agency]

[We have accepted Jamie Jamer-ssi's request.]

"They're replying now?"

She had forgotten about Truth Agency because it was 2~3 weeks ago that she put in a request. She had assumed they were unreliable since they didn't answer.

Did they just have too many clients?

In any case, she was satisfied.

As long as she could find out where that bastard was, she was happy to wait.

"Next week, each team will select a small-scale Dungeon and do a presentation on the best way to conquer it."

Friday's theory class – 'Phenomenon Realm Analysis II'.

Just before the class ended, the professor gave the cadets their team assignments. Cadets immediately broke out into groans. However, Jin Hoseung and Yi Bokgyu, who were sitting in front of me, didn't seem all that worried. They turned around, looking at me happily.
