The Spoon Villain Is Obsessed with the Hero Again Today - Chapter 115
Sookyoung (2)
It’s been quite some time since the dispatch started. Now, life outside of school has become somewhat familiar.
“There are no tasks assigned to you, Arna.”
“Again…?”
But here, Arna was different. In this Hyun Kwang, which can be called the top guild in Korea, she still hasn’t found her place.
“How much longer do I have to wait to get a job? This is too much!”
“It’s no use getting angry at me. This is also the will of the president.”
“Then let me meet the president! I’ll talk to him directly!”
“The president is currently out.”
“….”
Arna was frustrated. She had come all the way here on dispatch, only to be unable to do anything. This situation of just having to stay still was agonizing.
Other combat students were busy with business trips and whatnot, their days packed to the brim.
Even that Shin Yoon-sung was doing his job at Geumseonggak. The message she had sent him with courage a while ago was still marked as unread today.
What could this mean? It must mean he’s that busy.
Surely he wouldn’t be so arrogant as to ignore her message. It was a message from Arna, the idol of Hanyul Academy. That would never happen.
Anyway.
“I’ll wait here until the president returns!”
Today, she would meet him. The president of Hyun Kwang, Tae Seung-gun.
She would get a job no matter what.
“Ah. President. You’re here.”
“…!”
At that moment, the secretary stood up and bowed towards the entrance.
Before the words were even finished, he appeared. Tae Seung-gun, the one Arna had been searching for like a legendary Pokémon.
“What’s all this commotion in front of the president’s office?”
His deep, cave-like voice instantly seized the chaotic atmosphere. A middle-aged man with a sturdy physique stopped in front of Arna.
“Arna Kristindottir. What are you doing here?”
A scar running from his cheek to his chin, burn marks covering his neck, and eyes so fierce even a tiger would flee. He was the epitome of a formidable warrior.
If he were an ordinary person, he would have naturally cowered under the weight of his presence.
However….
“Please revoke the suspension immediately…!”
Arna raised her head stiffly and glared at Tae Seung-gun. Right now, Arna feared nothing. Not even if the opponent was the representative.
“Suspension? I don’t know what you’re talking about. I never gave such an order.”
“You excluded me from work…! If that’s not a suspension, then what is it…?”
“I just judged that you were not yet capable of performing the task.”
“Capable…?”
Arna blinked several times. To hear such words, and from no one else but Arna herself.
It was clear to anyone that Arna was an outstanding talent. This wasn’t just a saying within the school. She had proven it countless times in front of guild officials during physical tests, at school open events where showcases were held, and even in front of reporters on a regular basis.
Arna’s talent was real.
“What aspect of me is lacking? If there’s something insufficient, I’ll improve it! I’ll supplement it as much as needed! So please….”
“I thought you would be different since everyone had high expectations for you as a rising star. But you still have a long way to go.”
“What…?”
As Arna did not back down easily, Tae Seung-gun took a remote control out of his pocket.
Beep─!
In an instant, all the lights illuminating the waiting room were cut off.
Then, in the darkness, a screen appeared. On the screen, the organizational chart of Hyun Kwang’s guild was displayed.
There were a few familiar names in it. For example, Son Iseo from Combat Team 1.
“This is a guild. We organize teams considering each guild member’s abilities and assign tasks that the team can handle according to the system.”
“….”
“Where did you learn to ignore all those procedures and demand tasks first? Did they teach you that at Hanyul Academy?”
Tae Seung-gun continued speaking.
“Arna. You should have built a team first, not looked for work. From combat personnel to go to the battlefield with, to technical personnel to support from behind, and even administrative personnel to record and report the activities. Only after establishing that system are you qualified.”
It’s different from school. This is not a place where you can act alone.
This is a guild. It’s a proper company. You have to act according to the company’s regulations and procedures, and move in line with that order.
Moreover, Hyun Kwang has been guarding this industry for decades. Its system is also systematic and well-structured.
But for a mere rookie to try to break through all these processes. From the representative’s standpoint, it was laughable.
“Ugh….”
Arna lowered her head.
I was short-sighted. Too arrogant. The urgency of not being able to waste each day carelessly narrowed my vision. I tried to slow down but ended up tripping.
Here, Arna thought.
Then what about Shin Yoon-seong, who is currently active in Geumseonggak? Did he form a team according to the guild’s desired direction, receive appropriate missions, and achieve results that met expectations?
I don’t know for sure, but it was clear that he was far ahead of Arna here.
Arna had been treading water until today.
“Fine. If you want to work like that, I won’t stop you.”
Beep─!
Tae Seung-gun operated the remote control once more. The screen switched to a mountain valley.
“Arna Kristindottir. As of now, you are ordered to go on a business trip to Gangwon-do. Whether you search for new monsters or find valuable magic stones, produce some results.”
“Gangwon-do…?”
“Why. Now that you have a task, can’t you do it?”
Already in a situation where she had fallen out of favor with the representative of Hyun-gwang. The moment she backed out here, the opportunity would never come again.
She had no choice but to prove herself through this mission. She had to earn her qualifications. Although she couldn’t pick up spilled water, she could at least clean up the stains.
She had to start again. She had to stand up again.
Arna straightened her back and spoke with a strong voice.
“No! I can do it! I’ll go to Gangwon-do!”
For reference, the first combat team that headed to Gangwon-do recently also returned without any significant results. In such a situation, Arna was sent as Hyun-gwang’s second representative.
Alone.

“What the hell kind of camping is this! It’s not even a kids’ retreat!”
Bang─!
Kang Tae-hoon threw down his suitcase in frustration. He seemed very dissatisfied with the upcoming outdoor search operation.
“What can we do. If the boss says jump, we jump.”
I quietly stuffed items into my travel bag. I packed mainly clothes and daily necessities needed for camping.
“Damn it. Should I just take a leave of absence? What kind of hellish guild is this, making us suffer like this?”
“Still, we have each other, don’t we? When it’s tough, you can lean on your comrades. I’ll gladly lend you my shoulder.”
“Screw you, b*stard!”
Bang─!
Kang Tae-hoon threw a soft sleep mask at my face.
“That’s why it’s even more annoying! I have to see your damn face all day, morning, noon, evening, and night!”
Kang Tae-hoon. No matter how messed up Rashid’s face looks, saying something like that in front of the guy himself is just stupid. Calling him a piece of shit face.
“Ugh.”
Meanwhile, Rashid hadn’t even packed a small suitcase. Just his body was enough.
Typical of someone from the streets.
“Not that black guy, I’m talking about you! You psycho b*stard!”
Anyway.
The goal for this trip was to secure samples of a new type of monster. The real research had begun, so we needed to collect the right specimens.
One or two wouldn’t do. We had to sweep up as many as we could get our hands on.
Monsters are like fish; depending on the season, the catch varies drastically. Fortunately, it’s in season now, so wherever you go in Gangwon Province, you can run into one.
That’s why for this operation, everyone from the Gangwon branch would be deployed.
Even Park Won-hyuk, the director.
“What the hell is that old guy so happy about, grinning like that? Is he enjoying sleeping with mosquitoes outside or something?”
“I saw him packing barbecue equipment earlier.”
“Barbecue my ass. He should just stick a skewer in his mouth and roast himself.”
Even while cursing with his mouth, Kang Tae-hoon was packing clothes into his suitcase.
What a bad attitude. You could say he’s even more finicky than Arna.
A real b*tch.
“Hmm…?”
It was then.
While packing, my hand paused for a moment.
“This is…”
I checked the item I was holding.
A soft yet slightly rough texture. It was a pair of panties. Not men’s, but women’s.
More specifically, it was the pair of panties Arna had worn.
“Hmm. When did I pick this up?”
I tried to remember. When I was packing back at the school dorm, I had only packed my own clothes. For reference, Arna’s panties were carefully kept in the very bottom compartment of my closet, in the underwear section.
“Could it be that I packed mine and hers just ended up coming along?”
Anyway, it felt strange to see it here, in a place like this.
It was like booking a bus ticket, only to find your ex-girlfriend sitting next to you. That feeling of being stuck together all the way from Seoul to Busan.{“request_id”:”8e93a42979ac7c2a-LAX”,”timestamp_”:”absolute”}
It was rather embarrassing.
“Hey, you b*stard! What’s that in your hand?!”
And Kang Taehoon wasn’t the type to let this slide. Seeing the panties in my hand, he yelled.
“Those aren’t women’s panties? You’re a complete lunatic! Whose did you steal?!”
He probably thought I’d stolen them from another room.
Even if I’m a crazy b*stard, I wouldn’t break into someone’s room and steal their panties.
An explanation seems necessary.
“It’s a misunderstanding. I obtained these panties through a legitimate transaction…”
“Legitimate transaction my ass! You perverted b*stard, I’m calling the police!”
Suddenly, in addition to being a psychopath, I was also labeled a pervert.
It’s unfair. The real pervert who should be arrested by the police is someone else.
Arna, who stole my panties.
That breast monster is the real pervert.
