The Disciples Who Had Forsaken Me Came To Visit Me - Chapter 34

-Wow!
The goblin scratched Baekhyeonseo.
-Push
A little blood flowed from Baek Hyun-seo’s body, but it was not life-threatening.
[Fireball]
Someone behind used magic on the goblin.
-Pushyyy
“Keeeeek!!”
Then, the goblin instantly turned to ashes and disappeared.
“Ugh….”
Baek Hyun-seo was in pain as she looked at her wounds.
Aside from that, she looked back and expressed gratitude.
“Thank you… I was so nervous that I made the mistake of getting attacked by a goblin…”
The girl heard her thank you. Seo Ye-rin answered as if she was embarrassed.
“I didn’t use magic. “I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t do anything…”
“Then what about magic?….”
Baek Hyun-seo confirmed that her staff-shaped artifact was shining.
“Did instructor Joowon Choi give you that?….”
When Baek Hyun-seo asked a question, she nodded.
Thanks to the automatic interception artifact given by Choi Joo-won, Baek Hyun-seo escaped the crisis. Of course, her life would not have been in danger from a single goblin, but in any case, what saved her from being cornered was an artifact, to be exact, an artifact given to her by Choi Joo-won.
Baekhyunseo thought.
‘I just need your help until the end… then and now.’
“Keeeeee!”
Numerous monsters that appear in the dungeon. Students had to go through painful times to advance through the dungeon.

“ha….”
A lot of time has passed since I received Baek Hyun-seo’s call. An unknown feeling of shit envelops my entire body.
‘Why the fuck are you making a fuss by calling me and making people feel bad?’
I was enjoying my long break at home. In fact, there was no rest at all. Because even if I stayed still, I didn’t feel comfortable.
There were many opponents to beat. Numerous guilds who took money from Baek Ju-seok, as well as Magic Tower lord Shin Yu-ra and Baal guild leader Choi Seung-hyun. It seemed like I wouldn’t be able to feel at ease even for a moment until I destroyed them all.
When I turned on my phone and looked at the screen, the NATUBE channel caught my eye.
– Channel name: Masked Instructor
– Subscribers: 1.2 million
The number of subscribers increased exponentially in just a few days. Recently, an application for profit generation was also approved.
– Current revenue: 72 million won
Since the number of views before monetization was approved was not reflected in the revenue, a fairly large amount was received even though only a few days of views were calculated as revenue.
‘I can’t believe I can make this much money by just uploading two videos. If this is the case, just die and just NATUBE will allow you to make money again like you did when you were an instructor, right?’
Suddenly, that thought occurred to me, but honestly, money wasn’t that important. I already had enough money.
‘Of course, even if you have money, it’s not enough.’
No matter how much money I had, there was no need to turn down additional income.
‘Oh right. ‘I have to call Seol-eun.’
When I think about it, Seol Eun-ah helped me with a lot of things, including creating my channel, editing and managing videos, and even promoting it. At that time, Seol Eun-ah said there was no need to share the profits, but I thought it was right for anyone with a conscience to share a certain percentage with her from now on.
‘Editing alone would have cost quite a bit of money, and a lot of promotional expenses would have been spent.’
In fact, if Seol Eun-ah had not used numerous YouTubers to promote my video through an acquaintance’s MCN, it would have been difficult to get such an explosive response from the first video.
‘They promoted it a lot.’
When I searched for old videos, I found that in less than 10 minutes after I uploaded my first video, 7 large creators reviewed or shared my video.
‘This is why the number of views has increased so explosively.’
I called Seol Eun-ah, feeling grateful.
– hello?
– This is Seol-eun. Choi Joo-won.
– ah! Hello Joo Won, is there anything going on?
– I’m contacting you because I have something to talk about, none other than the profits of my NATUBE channel. I would like to share a certain amount of equity profits with Seol-eun.
– yes? I told you about that last time. I helped you because I was grateful that you saved me before, so you don’t have to give me any money.
– I’m not comfortable. Let’s split the profits 50:50. Anyway, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have even thought of creating this channel. By creating this channel, I was able to get people’s attention and gain motivation to do something. If I didn’t even have this, I would have been stuck in my room doing nothing by now. Please consider the profit percentage as a token of my gratitude.
– Hmm… I’m in trouble. Joowon, I don’t think this is something we should talk about over the phone. Would you like to meet?
– Can’t I do it over the phone?
– No, absolutely not! Do you have time now?
– There is time…
– It’s a house, right?
– yes
– Wait, I’ll go.
– All right.
-pop
‘what?’
I was a little taken aback by her unusual reaction, but I didn’t pay much attention and waited. As I was doing that, I heard the doorbell ring outside.
– Ding Dong
– Joo Won! It’s me~
-click
When I opened the door, I saw her dressed up to the nines.
“Do you have any plans today? “It seems like you worked harder than usual.”
Seol Eun-ah smiled and spoke.
“It’s been a while since I visited the shop. how is it? “Am I pretty?”
After Seol Eun-ah jokingly said something to me, she waited for me to say something with a nervous look on her face. I took a look at her and said yes.
“You’re pretty.”
-puck
She pushed my chest hard with her arm. Confused, I asked a question.
“Why are you doing that?….”
Seol Eun-ah spoke with a red face.
“No. That… more than that! We decided to talk about profit sharing, right?”
“ah. you’re right. Come over here. “I will at least bring tea.”
“The car is fine. “I brought you coffee.”
Seol Eun-ah handed me the coffee and dessert she was hiding behind her back.
“Actually, I didn’t come here to talk about profit sharing. I came here because I was worried because Joowon’s voice sounded so bad. “Would you like to tell me what happened?”
“….”
After thinking for a moment, I told her the story. What happened after meeting with the head of the Hunter Association, to killing all the damn guilds that took money from President Joo-seok Baek and destroyed the intranet master key.
Seol Eun-ah listened to my story with a serious expression.
“I knew President Baek Joo-seok was throwing money around, but I didn’t know his influence would be this great. Oh, and don’t feel too guilty about killing the Baldena guild members. “Those guys were scum who went around committing all kinds of crimes and making people shed tears of blood.”
“I know that, but I can’t help but feel uneasy.”
Seol Eun-ah patted my back and spoke with sad eyes.
“Don’t try to handle everything on your own, but when you feel overwhelmed like today, please talk to me. Because I’m always on your side. “If you’re worried about me revealing it somewhere else, I don’t mind using something like a pledge spell.”
“Thank you for your words. You don’t need any oath magic or anything. Because I trust you now too. Honestly, if it weren’t for Seol Eun-ah’s help, I wouldn’t have even dreamed of running the NATUBE channel. It’s a funny story, but I was admired by a lot of people there. There are many people who criticize me that much. There are so many people who praise me and say they respect me and that I am great. “When I see comments like that, it reminds me of my time as an instructor and gives me some comfort.”
“… I’m glad I was of some help.”
I felt a surge of emotion for a moment, but I tried to calm it down.
“Mr. Seol-eun. “I have a problem, can I tell you?”
She said with a smile.
“Please tell me as much as you want. “I cleared my schedule today, so I have a lot of time.”
“Well… this is a story about recruiting disciples. I’ve received a lot of applicants so far, but I’m worried about when to contact them and conduct interviews. “I want to increase my power with my disciples and at the same time screw the magic tower lord as much as possible, but I can’t think of a way.”
Seol Eun-ah thought for a moment and then answered.
“Why don’t you schedule your interviews with the students during the recruitment period for Magic Tower, which will be held soon?”
“Is there such a thing?”
“Yes, there is a period when Magic Tower regularly recruits talent. The first round is documentation, the second round is an interview, and the third round is a magic practical training process, which leads to the final selection. “I think it would be better for Mr. Joo Won to recruit disciples after the second round of interviews for recruiting talent at Magic Tower.”
“Can I ask what the reason is?”
“Mr. Joo Won, you wrote down the condition that only [independent] people can be recruited as disciples, right? However, during the talent recruitment process, temporary Magic Tower membership is granted. In short, if I want to become your disciple, I have to give up the 3rd magic practical training that is being held at the Magic Tower.”
“That’s a good idea. A magic tower lord is a person who pathologically covets talented people. “I would be quite upset if talented people right in front of me gave up on their own recruitment process and came over to me.”
“that’s right. I checked a lot of comments on the NATUBE channel. This time, a lot of really talented people applied. “It would be a fun situation if we selected only the best talent and asked them to come for an interview during the Magic Top recruitment period.”
“Thank you for always. I will do as you said. Ah, now that I think about it, I think of a better way than the one you mentioned. “Why not just give notice now in the first place?”
“yes? “They’re already announcing it?”
“yes. You just post on the community that you are having an interview that day. So that people don’t even apply to the Magic Tower in the first place.”
“Hmm… that wouldn’t be bad either. Then, the number of talented people applying to Magic Tower will decrease significantly, right?”
I answered with a smile.
“We will make visible the worst application rate in history. If you’re a wizard, you’re going to upload a video showing a taste of what you can’t do without. And if you become my disciple, I will tell you everything.”
***
The masked instructor uploaded a lecture video and posted a post on the community.
– Announcement of formal disciple recruitment period. We will announce the date of formal hiring of students after pre-selection. XX day, XX month, XXXX year. Note: Those who are not independent are automatically excluded from selection. Even those with temporary membership cannot participate.
Ma Topju and Shin Yura also checked the community post posted by the masked instructor. She muttered in annoyance.
“Ha, it’s obvious what kind of trick it is. What is so great about it that they dare to recruit disciples according to the Magic Tower talent recruitment period? It’s clear that everyone will focus on our magic tower. “He’s like a bug.”
***
Before we knew it, the period for recruiting students had arrived. The magic tower lord, Shin Yu-ra, was trembling when he saw the documents in his hands. She shouted at the sire tower owner.
“Are you sure you checked the documents properly?”
“I said… I checked it again and again.”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
-bang-!
Shin Yu-ra was so angry that she kept kicking the desk.
-Hwiik
The document she dropped listed the number of people who applied to the Magic Tower.
– 7 people
About 5,000 people applied every year to Magic Tower. This year, only 7 people applied.
