The EX-Class Extra o Chapter 90 : Chapter 90

Chapter 90: D-Day (2)

It was a ti when Glory was maintaining a bone-chilling atmosphere, with both instructors and cadets alike busy preparing for the final exams.

In this place, a different kind of chilling atmosphere was also being exchanged for another reason.

“You did not even show up to the last eting, and now you suddenly call for us. You really do whatever you want, don’t you?”

“Sigh, did I not explain that I had no choice because I was following his will? You truly have nothing in your head.”

“Hahaha!! Interesting. I wonder if you will be able to spit out those sa words after I rip that mouth of yours open?”

This was the gathering place for the mbers of the organization.

There, the Puppeteer and a woman with a hollow face were staring each other down as if they were about to kill one another while continuing their conversation.

“They say people play at their own level; the fact that you even speak such profane words shows how hideous you are.”

“Sure, sure. So, let us just try it. We will see if it is faster for

to rip your mouth open or for you to punish hideous old .”

It was a volatile situation where it would not be strange for a fight to break out at any mont.

Fortunately, that situation ca to an end through the diation of one man.

“How about you both stop? Wouldn’t it be better to just finish your business and get out of each other’s sight?”

He was a man with snow-white hair and eyes that glowed purple.

At the words of Baek Ha-seong, the Puppeteer and the woman reluctantly turned their heads away.

Baek Ha-seong nodded moderately at that sight and continued speaking.

“Right, right. It is only a loss to fight anyway, right? Don’t you think so, too?”

As he said that, Baek Ha-seong turned his head toward a dark corner.

In that spot, besides the Puppeteer and the hollow-faced woman, stood a man wearing a mysterious mask.

“…It is none of my business. It has nothing to do with .”

“Is that so? Well, you usually have no interest in anything that is not your job.”

The masked man gave a dry response.

However, Baek Ha-seong did not seem to expect a sincere answer either, as he let it pass.

He also knew the truth.

That only people who could never truly harmonize were gathered here anyway.

Beings who had co together under one roof, each harboring a different purpose.

That was the true nature of those gathered here.

“Well then, shall we move straight to the main point? You do not have any intention of exchanging personal talk anyway, do you?”

Because of that, they were individuals overflowing with their own distinct characteristics.

It was certain that if no one stepped forward, the conversation would not even be able to begin.

Therefore, Baek Ha-seong took it upon himself to lead the dialogue.

Of course, there were those who interrupted him along the way.

“That guy with the wanderlust has not arrived yet. What about him?”

“If he has not co by now, it likely ans he has no intention of coming. We have not seen him since our first eting anyway, have we?”

“Hmm. I suppose so.”

Baek Ha-seong gave a sincere answer to the question from the Puppeteer, who had suddenly interjected, and then continued his speech.

“So, let us just start. Wouldn’t that be better for you as well? Hwa-ryeon.”

“…That is true. Let us do that.”

“Then tell us. Why did you call us all together like this?”

The hollow-faced woman called Hwa-ryeon nodded at Baek Ha-seong’s words.

Although a warning from the Puppeteer, such as “If it is for so useless reason, I will make your head a lot lighter,” was heard in the middle of it, Hwa-ryeon ignored her and began to speak.

“First, I have sothing to say to that vulgar woman.”

“Hahaha! You really are dying for a chance to drop dead, aren’t you?”

“Stop. Is that a necessary comnt for this conversation?”

When Baek Ha-seong intervened in the fight that seed about to break out again, Hwa-ryeon agreed with his point.

In that case, what else could be done?

Baek Ha-seong also remained silent and did not intervene any further.

At that, Hwa-ryeon resud her interrupted speech.

“Puppeteer, you are to step away from the matters at Glory for a while.”

“Who do you think you are to give

ord——”

“It is his decree. Mind your words.”

At those words, the audience fell silent for a mont.

The sa was true for the Puppeteer, who had been constantly expressing her dissatisfaction.

When Hwa-ryeon spoke of ‘him,’ she was referring to the boss of this organization.

“Hwa-ryeon. That is not enough of an explanation.”

“I am aware, so do not rush , forr heir of the Baek family.”

“…….”

For a mont, Baek Ha-seong’s brow twitched at the ntion of the Baek family, but it was only for a split second.

If he were to lose his temper here, the conversation would inevitably stall.

Therefore, Baek Ha-seong held back and continued.

“…Fine. Keep talking.”

“First, he has commanded

thus: Bring disaster to the upcoming exams at Glory.”

“…….”

“Therefore, he has forbidden the Puppeteer’s activities at Glory for the ti being. Puppeteer, do you understand?”

Her words were likely not a lie.

To Hwa-ryeon, the boss of the organization was practically a god.

However, there were definitely points that were difficult to understand.

“Why act so drastically for a re student exam? If we are to step in, would it not be more correct to keep the high-rank players in check?”

“How could we, the lowly ones, understand his will? However.”

Hwa-ryeon disparaged herself and those gathered here by calling them lowly.

At the sa ti, she added words that deified the boss, whose location was unknown.

“He said that this is a foreseen destiny.”

“…Is that so.”

A foreseen destiny.

I do not know what that ans, but if she puts it that way, there is nothing more to say.

Of course, that did not an all the questions were resolved.

“Fine. Let us just let that part slide for now.”

“It is not about letting it slide, but——”

“Hwa-ryeon. I am not finished yet. Listen until the end.”

It was then.

Baek Ha-seong replied in a chilling tone as he looked at Hwa-ryeon, who had interrupted him.

No matter how outstanding his patience might be, he was still a man who held a position in this organization.

There was no way his personality was purely gentle.

At that sight, Hwa-ryeon had no choice but to nod rather than get angry like she had with the Puppeteer.

Hwa-ryeon also knew.

That if he were to truly beco enraged, Baek Ha-seong might be the most terrifying person here.

Of course, that was not the only reason Hwa-ryeon yielded.

‘He does not ignore , so I should not ignore him either.’

He was the only person among those gathered here who did not ignore her.

It was not that Baek Ha-seong treated her specially, but at any rate, such a reason existed.

Therefore, Hwa-ryeon calmly offered an apology to Baek Ha-seong.

“…I am sorry. My mind was disturbed because of that vulgar woman.”

“Are you crazy? Why are you bringing

up again here——”

“Puppeteer. You stay quiet for a mont, too.”

“…Tch. Fine.”

There were only four people here—no, that is not right.

One person was not even participating in the conversation, so there were only three, yet it was so difficult to even get a word in.

If the balance of power had not been sowhat equal, a massive disaster would have surely occurred.

Thinking that, Baek Ha-seong continued his speech.

“First, Hwa-ryeon. What you are saying is that you are going to cause an incident during Glory’s final exams, right?”

“That is correct.”

“Fine. I understand that much. But I do not understand what cos next.”

“Next? What is it that you do not understand?”

What exactly was it that he did not understand?

Hwa-ryeon’s question was soon resolved by Baek Ha-seong’s next words.

“The fact that you called all of us. Originally, wouldn’t it have been enough to just call the Puppeteer?”

“Ah. I see. My explanation was insufficient. Do not worry, as there is also a reason for calling everyone.”

“Then I would like it if you told us quickly. I hate it when things are dragged out.”

At Baek Ha-seong’s urging, Hwa-ryeon nodded and said.

“I have gathered you all because I need help.”

“Help?”

“Indeed. As you know, the security wards of Glory are quite tricky.”

It was true.

The final exams conducted by Glory are not held within the school, are they?

It is an exam conducted on a remote island.

As such, they must have paid special attention to security.

“Of course, that is not a problem. However, I cannot enter that place.”

“I suppose not. Unlike us, you do not have the ability to slip away.”

Yet Hwa-ryeon asserted that the wards were not particularly a problem.

Instead, she was worried about what ca after. As if it were natural that the wards could be handled.

However, Baek Ha-seong did not question those words at all.

He also knew.

That what Hwa-ryeon said was by no ans a bluff.

Therefore, Baek Ha-seong simply listened silently to Hwa-ryeon’s continuing words.

“That is so. Therefore, I am asking for your help. I need soone who can tear things up from inside the island.”

“If that is the case, it does not necessarily have to be us, does it? You have people who follow you, too.”

“Of course, I will fill the ranks with trash, but in the end, they are still trash. Would it not be perfect if there was an expert?”

At Baek Ha-seong’s words, Hwa-ryeon looked down on her followers as trash.

Of course, most of them were C-Rank to B-Rank villains.

Still, they were certainly not people who lacked enough skill to be called trash.

Furthermore, are their opponents not cadets?

Considering that point, even a C-Rank villain was clearly a threatening existence.

It was just that the subject of comparison was poor.

If compared to an S-Rank villain, the word trash did not seem entirely unfitting.

“How is it? Is there anyone who will help?”

This was exactly what Hwa-ryeon wanted.

The other three had excellent abilities to slip away, unlike her.

With their help, she would surely be able to bring about even greater turmoil.

Therefore, Hwa-ryeon spoke up once more and asked if there was anyone who would help, but…….

“…….”

Unfortunately, only a quiet silence followed.

Hwa-ryeon’s expression did not change, as if she had expected this reaction.

It was a natural occurrence.

According to the content in the novel, no one here would have helped.

Yes, originally, it was certainly so.

“That is an interesting story. No one seems interested, so would it be okay if I stepped in?”

However, this world was no longer flowing according to the predetermined story.

Now that many things had changed due to Choi Yu-seong’s intervention.

There was a change in this part as well.

“Are you serious?”

At Baek Ha-seong’s words, Hwa-ryeon asked back with a surprised face.

They say that surprise is doubled when you do not expect sothing.

It was exactly like that.

“Am I not enough? If so, I cannot help it, but.”

“No! Soone of your caliber is more than enough force.”

Hwa-ryeon quickly accepted, fearing that Baek Ha-seong might change his mind.

It was a good thing for Hwa-ryeon as well.

She had also inwardly thought that Baek Ha-seong was the most suitable person if she were to receive help.

Unlike the other two, Baek Ha-seong was the owner of the personality that was easiest to deal with here, wasn't he?

Of course, it was not that Baek Ha-seong had no conditions.

“In exchange, I will not take orders from you. And I do not know how I will act either.”

“…….”

“You are the one who received instructions, not . In short, it ans I might not provide active help.”

“That is fine. It is better to have you there than not. If you are on-site, there is at least a chance you will feel like acting.”

However, it was a condition she could sufficiently accept.

After hearing all of Baek Ha-seong’s conditions, Hwa-ryeon nodded.

Since it was an insane gain for her just to involve Baek Ha-seong in the first place, it was a natural reaction.

“Fine. Then let us do it that way.”

Now that their mutual interests aligned, what else was needed?

That was the end of the conversation.

But in fact, one question still remained in this dialogue.

Why did Baek Ha-seong involve himself in this matter?

He, who usually has no great interest in the other mbers of the organization?

Well, it was understandable that the others could not harbor that question.

“Hmm, I wonder what kind of journey awaits

this ti.”

Just think of his usual personality.

Baek Ha-seong is soone who pursues freedom, isn't he?

It was obvious they would think he was acting simply because his interest had been piqued this ti as well.

However.

‘I will finally be able to see the face of the one who caught the Puppeteer’s interest.’

Unfortunately, this ti, he had an ulterior motive.

It was his eting with Choi Yu-seong.

The Puppeteer likely did not know, but Baek Ha-seong had already grasped the existence of Choi Yu-seong.

‘I will find out what kind of eting it will be once I get there.’

Baek Ha-seong thought that and turned his back.

Since his business was all finished anyway.

What would be the point of remaining here any longer?

He only had to wait for what would happen during Glory’s final exams.

“I will be going now. Make sure you all find your own way back.”

Leaving those words, Baek Ha-seong departed with his snow-white hair fluttering.

He likely did not know until this mont.

What kind of result the eting with Choi Yu-seong, which he had thought of lightly, would bring about.

However, unfortunately, it would be so ti before he found that out.
