51 – 11. Black Consumer

“Nam Goong-min, are you okay?”

“It’s okay, Eileen.”

not okay at all

I forced a smile as I gently rubbed my still aching thigh.

‘I’m so glad it’s set up as a superman, really.’

A person who has a job is a superman who can easily accept a knife even if it is a non-combat job.

Even if it was a traditional etiquette injector, it ended up just painful.

Yes, the torturers were also superhuman, so it hurt so badly.

‘I’m so glad that the stick is just a criticism… … .’

The jury ended when the wooden stick broke, unable to withstand the strength of the princess and Liu. Both seemed refreshed.

Even thinking about it, it was a fair competition, but what was the problem?

However, even if I consult with Aileen, she insists that it is their fault, so what can I do?

Rather, he was sweating to stop Eileen from going to get revenge on the princess and Liu right away.

“Ah, time…then Namgoong-min. I’ll go in first.”

“Yes. See you tomorrow.”

“……yes!”

It was such a beautiful smile that no matter how many times I looked at it, I couldn’t get used to it.

To have such a kind conversation with a beautiful woman who is authentic to my taste.

Shouldn’t we be thankful for this? thank you for sending me here

When I came to my senses from vain thoughts, Aileen had already left the fortune teller.

“I’m a bit free today…”

Class ended early, and there was still plenty of time left before bedtime.

5:00 p.m., when the fortuneteller is very free. There was really nothing to do.

‘There are few customers.’

About 6-7 people visit regularly every day, but most of them are martial arts students.

Not to mention, only one or two people come to see fortune telling. The rest is for the purpose of exchanging information about the ‘secret room’.

‘The treasure is slowly running out.’

It’s been several weeks since I’ve been telling the students who can see the artifact the location of the artifact.

The treasures, which were not many in the first place, were dwindling one by one.

Originally, the word-of-mouth effect in this process was aimed at, but it seems that martial arts students are monopolizing information.

It was a variable I hadn’t thought of.

‘Did I get too attached to work during the entrance ceremony?’

Originally, students gather by occupation and form their own groups. Since they were split evenly, it was easy to see that trend in the game as well.

However, even if you think about it, it is so sticky that there is no information leakage at all.

It was a pretty difficult situation.

‘At this rate, the number of customers will only decrease, and then eventually the fortune teller will have to close.’

The reason the fortune teller was permitted was because of the transaction with the vice principal.

If I close the real fortune teller, I don’t know how the academy will penalize my fortune (?), so I want to keep it as long as possible… …

‘I wonder if there is some reason.’

It’s not simply known, but it’s an opportunity to spread word of mouth.

But I can’t fall from the sky just because I want something like that… …

bang!

“Hey, what the hell is this gloomy place?”

“That’s right. Since you’re a fortuneteller, the place you’re at must resemble the landlord.”

“No, that’s right.”

“………what.”

Three students suddenly kicked the door without knocking.

A red-haired male student wearing sunglasses seemed to insist that I’m a bully.

A blonde girl giggling with heavy make-up.

And even a large male student following them with a grim face and crossed arms.

The trio, who looked bad to anyone, stood in front of me, messing around.

“Hey, are you that fortune teller bastard?”

“you’re right.”

“Look at how respectful he is! It’s a real concept!”

“It’s probably because it’s in front of guests.”

“f*ck. I heard roughly, but you said you were so brave?”

what, how did you know

In fact, did you notice that everything I was doing was Gura? great look… …

“Hey! Kite! Isn’t he just trying to get you!?”

“Uh, um.”

“This non -sulty baby is a one -week fist to Kite. Isn’t it natural?”

“Well, are you here for divination?”

“Then what did you come for? Do you want me to beat you until you’re tired?”

A redhead giggling and clenching her fists, a blonde laughing at me, and a big guy who still has the same posture.

Although it was short, I came to a conclusion after observing them.

‘It’s all show.’

First of all, he has red hair, swears, and looks like he’s about to swing his fist right away, but if you look closely, he keeps grinding his teeth.

It’s not a disadvantage or annoyance situation, but grinding teeth is proof of anxiety.

And the blond one, looking at me as if laughing at me, but still looking around at my face.

If you actually laugh, there’s no reason to move your gaze. Rather, it is closer to seeing how my reaction is.

Finally, the size… … just can’t play

why do you stutter

“Hey, I’ll give you a special look, so please keep calm and read your fortune, okay?”

“of course.”

In addition, Santina speaks, and even threatens so blatantly that it seems contrived.

It is certainly. It’s 100% smoke.

‘Then who sent it?’

In fact, there are quite a few reasons to send such a bullying actor to me.

I drew aggro, and of course I must have attracted hate as well.

‘There’s a lot of straw.’

The academy’s first fortune teller student, the privilege of belonging to a special occupation class while being a fortune teller that is not a special job, and envy as if he is friendly with Rio or the princess.

More than anything, even students who hate the ambiguous element of ‘dot’ itself.

On the contrary, I have a feeling that this quarrel took place a little late. If this was an ordinary academy game, Yangachi 1 would have come out and played the game in reverse.

It’s fortunate that it’s not feminine.

Anyway, I can’t imagine the back ship that sent these actors.

and what… …

“What is it? Why are you laughing so badly?”

“No. I just remembered something interesting.”

“Are you kidding me, you bastard?”

… I mean, there’s no need to figure out the back.

Rather, this is an opportunity and an opportunity for me.

Because I thought of a way to make good use of these guys.

“Ha, hey. Since we answered meekly, I think they climbed up for no reason—”

But it’s not method acting, so why are you so immersed in bullying?

I think I need to get a head start, so I activate <Observation> and scan the redhead’s entire body.

“Hwang Jin-woo, have you changed your shoes recently?”

“……!!”

Through <Observation>, I can see various things in my right eye with a constricted pupil.

For example, the initials of a redhead engraved on the side of sunglasses.

Or that all the other clothes are wrinkled or slightly dirty, but only the shoes are exceptionally clean.

Things that are not normally visible become information and pile up.

Then finding out about you is nothing but this.

“how?”

“Don’t you know what my job is?”

“…….”

“Let’s sit down. The two people in the back too.”

There are several chairs across the street.

Perhaps surprised by my point (?), the redhead, blonde, and tall man who had become a bit quiet sat quietly in the chair.

Wow, I’m starting to like these more and more.

“Hwang Jin-woo, you said you came to see fortune-telling earlier, right?”

“That, yes, it’s a baby. Let’s see that.”

“Okay, then would you like to draw a card first?”

“what?”

<See Yonghan Point>.

<Seeing Dragon Points>, which has been enhanced from the existing job skill <Seeing Fortune>, is amazing!

You can create up to two types of tarot cards with different designs… … !

… … pestilence.

Anyway, having gotten used to the tarot that appeared in the air, I lightly shuffled the cards and laid them out on the table.

“……One sheet?”

“of course.”

“Okay, I’ll hang out with you.”

The redhead who has regained his confidence for some reason, but has returned to his spirited attitude.

Their method is obvious.

‘I just insist that the divination is wrong.’

In fact, it was also the simplest and most difficult method.

No matter how much I tell the truth, it’s over if the person listening insists that it’s a lie.

Knowing that, these guys must be confident too.

Palak.

“The card you drew is… Major Arcana No. 1, <Magician>.”

“What is this?”

“That’s right, Jin-Woo Hwang is said to have a magic-related job.”

“That… uh.”

“Isn’t it?”

“Oh, no. That’s right…”

So what should I do?

The answer is simple. You just have to face the undeniable truth.

Oh so you’re not a wizard? I know your name, but are you going to lie?

“You can see a lot of things on this card on top of that.”

“What, what is it?”

“The meaning of ‘The Magician’ is versatility and good speech. Mr. Hwang Jin-woo, you have excellent abilities, don’t you?”

“Uh… that’s right.”

“You’re amazing too.”

“ha ha ha.”

There is a saying that praise makes even a whale dance.

If you say that you are capable and great from a point of view, would you call that a lie?

“There… Oh. Looking at my palm, the life and wealth lines are long, so I look forward to the future.”

“That, is that enough?”

“Of course. Even though I’m a fortuneteller, I haven’t seen a few people who are blessed with this level of fortune.”

“hahahaha! You speak well!”

Most of the people who can’t come to their senses if you run around with good words like this.

Of course, you can’t just praise that, so it’s about time.

“but……….”

“Uh, just?”

“There is just one thing I regret.”

“What?”

A look of pity, a slight shake of the head, and a cautious sigh.

Just as the redhead plays the bully, I also started to play the pity.

“Hwang Jin-Woo, your life is difficult.”

“Uh…ah, no. They say this is good, but you’re a total quack!”

“You don’t have to cheat. You ate ramen yesterday, right?”

“………….”

A really convenient <Observation> even informed me that the red stain on the redhead’s top was ramen soup.

Moreover, if you come here to act as a bully and come wearing that outfit without being able to even wash it even though you have to look coercive, it’s obvious.

Even the newly bought shoes are cheap ready-made items, not high-end brands that are common in Romance Academy.

Even so, it must have been a precious thing for the redhead’s circumstances.

“You’ve been doing dirty work lately.”

“Uh, how did you do that…”

“Did you draw a card? A fortuneteller sees a lot.”

“that…….”

Even though it’s a magic-related job, if your hands are full of calluses, the answer is obvious.

In addition, there was one wound on his hand that hadn’t even healed yet. It is said that he came here after doing rough work until yesterday or this morning.

These are facts that can be known if you <observe> him closely, but the fortune teller, who is unfamiliar with the redhead, is in a situation where he adjusts his life.

If this happened, what the redhead would say was fixed.

“Ah … … No. You’re wrong.”

denial.

“Ha ha ha! If you knew how well I live, you wouldn’t make that noise!”

Bluff.

“You’re just lying, you cheater!”

Forced.

These are things I’ve seen often before.

Since it was a scene I had seen often, my response was also familiar.

“Mr. Hwang Jin-woo.”

“Dog-boy! Quack! Swindler! f*cking bastard!”

“Mr. Hwang Jin-woo.”

“You bastard who only comes out with lies when you open your mouth!”

“Mr. Hwang Jin-woo.”

From noble mtl dot com

“You, you, you…!!”

“Hwang Jin-woo. I know.”

“………….”

“That you’re having a hard time with your tight budget. That you eat ramen every day, and that you’re doing dirty work after class.”

“…….”

“And even the fact that grades have been declining lately.”

“…………!!”

Now, compared to what I’ve learned so far, this redhead is a pretty steady guy.

Even though he is in short supply, he earns money by taking classes and working at the same time, and he is barely eating his way through it.

Even though he has a job that can be treated in many places, the fact that he dares to come to the academy and make such an effort is proof that he has enough desire to advance to a higher position with a diploma from the romance academy.

It wasn’t a comfortable but ambiguous position, but rather a path that would allow you to rise to a high position even if it was difficult.

And that guy is just acting like a bully?

The picture is clearly drawn.

“Hwang Jin-woo, you’ve had a hard time.”

“………….”

“Will you give me a chance to predict your fortune?”

“……okay.”

The redhead, who had become quiet before I knew it, nodded.

Cheer up.

The tarot cards scattered on the table are appropriately collected and shuffled, and one card is drawn at random.

I don’t care what this card is. Because the interpretation is fixed anyway.

“This is… the <Hermit>?”

“Hwang Jin-woo, you are not without luck. You are just being hidden.”

“Hidden… is it?”

“The <Hermit>’s card symbolizes that.

It’s a lie, as always.

If <Strength> came out, it would have been said that wealth luck was going to be strong, and if <Wheel of Fortune> came out, it would have been said that wealth luck was destined to roll soon.

Anyway, the conclusion is that it is a fortune telling that wealth luck will come soon to redheads.

That’s important.

“Hidden…wealth fortune…”

“Okay, that’s all for today. I’m sorry to the two people behind me, but please come see me tomorrow.”

“Now, wait.”

“Don’t worry. I’m always waiting for you here.”

Well, bye.

The redhead who was staring at me blankly at my celebration guest order wakes up soon.

Anyway, since I’m swept away by my pace, it’s hard to mess around anymore, and I’m going to have to organize my complicated hair.

“Ji, Jinwoo.”

“Jinwoo.”

“……let’s go.”

You’ll think you can come tomorrow anyway.

You told me today, but tomorrow you have to press harder and threaten. So I think it’s OK to go back today.

“Hey, fortune teller bastard.”

“yes.”

“If you keep babbling sh*t like that… you can really get behind it.”

“I must be concerned.”

Making unreasonable threats is part of that.

In the end, the redhead and the blonde, the big guy, got out of the fortune teller.

It was a rather bland ending for an intentional black consumer.

“Tomorrow.”

well.

Will the you of tomorrow have the same thoughts?
