Possessor #2 Just Wants to Fangirl Chapter 121

“Wait! I’ll write it again! Malgun Gothic font really looks too much like an elementary schooler!”

Yeon Sora began vigorously erasing the two-character name she’d just written with the eraser. Bang Haeun frowned at the sight.

She could tell time was being stalled. But,

‘Why exactly?’

Having already obtained the flag, there’s no reason to deliberately stall time. But reading Yeon Sora’s intentions wasn’t easy even for Bang Haeun.

‘I’m not even sure if there’s intent to begin with.’

Maybe she’s simply doing this to provoke them.

If so, that strategy hit the mark. The stupid team members were throwing a fit in DM.

|Gu Jinyeong| Yeon Sora’s scheming again!

|Song Yuna| How about we just forcibly steal the flag right now?

|Sang Hojun| The opponent is S-Class maximum firepower. Can we steal it?

|Gu Jinyeong| If we just separate Ki Hyeonmin and Yeom Juwan, maybe we can manage somehow? If it’s just Yeon Sora alone….

Watching her team members’ reactions, Bang Haeun barely held back a snort.

‘As expected, they’re stupid.’

She selected members prioritizing loyalty, so she’d given up on intelligence from the start. But she never thought they couldn’t even grasp their own limitations.

‘There’s no way you could beat Ki Hyeonmin, though?’

Bang Haeun had observed the gestures and movements of guild members coming and going from her household since childhood. Though that alone couldn’t bring her to mastery level, it cultivated an eye for discerning them.

Ki Hyeonmin was a practitioner on a different dimension. No one here is his match.

‘Stealing the flag is impossible.’

She didn’t walk paths where failure was obvious. Rather than showing pointless bravado, she should prepare for what comes next.

Bang Haeun decided to invest this time in laying groundwork.

|Bang Haeun| There’s no guarantee Yeon Sora will betray us yet, is there?

|Song Yuna| You still say such things?

|Sang Hojun| She’s been checking you, tormenting you non-stop since earlier?

|Bang Haeun| Why would Yeon Sora check me? She’s more impressive than me….

|Gu Jinyeong| She just got lucky with one unique skill, nothing else is impressive, right? She must be anxious recognizing the real deal.

The brainwashing from early enrollment days paid off. The team members were sincerely angry on her behalf.

Disgust surged at their excessive stupidity, but Bang Haeun forced a benevolent expression.

|Bang Haeun| I trust Yeon Sora. That she’ll keep her promise.

|Song Yuna| Haah… this is why our leader is the problem, right guys?

|Bang Haeun| Yeon Sora will definitely take us to the next stage.

Yeon Sora will definitely betray them.

What matters is advertising the fact that Bang Haeun kept faith until the end even in this situation.

Then the anger-filled idiots will gossip everywhere about Yeon Sora’s betrayal.

Among cadets they meet later, some will hear this story and highly evaluate Bang Haeun’s character.

She can gather them again and become leader.

‘It’s fine, there’s still plenty of time.’

This practicals runs for 2 nights and 3 days.

Instead of giving up the flag right before their eyes, if she builds influence?

Not bad.

‘Seong Hayul won’t be any obstacle either.’

The moment she saw Seong Hayul crouching in a corner, intense pleasure spread through Bang Haeun’s entire body.

If she had her way, she wanted to approach directly and tell her.

‘You and I are different.’

Publicly, Hwarang Guild is known to have only one daughter, but that wasn’t true. Bang Haeun had seven siblings, and she was the youngest among them.

Bang Haeun’s parents didn’t bestow equal love on all their children.

— If you want to be loved, prove your qualifications.

Clear hierarchy existed among the siblings, which you could tell just by looking at the dining table. Strong siblings got meat dishes, while young and weak Bang Haeun only got watery porridge. There was no special treatment for being the youngest.

But.

Bang Haeun didn’t give up even in an overwhelmingly disadvantageous competitive environment.

Though she lacked strength, she had decisiveness and initiative. She could do anything for her goals.

She used servants who doted on the youngest to poison her siblings’ food, and pushed siblings who approached carelessly thinking her weak down the stairs.

At first she feared her crimes would be discovered, but,

‘They definitely wanted this.’

The moment she achieved her first victory, Bang Haeun read completely different emotions in her parents’ eyes.

Interest and recognition.

That’s how she systematically eliminated obstacles blocking her path, becoming an only daughter.

That’s why seeing Seong Hayul made her blood boil.

‘What, she’s a complete hothouse flower?’

She’s also a guild’s only daughter, but a princess who just readily accepted what was given. Watching A-Class cadets flock to such a thoughtless, pathetic woman sometimes seized her with inexplicable rage.

To be loved, you need qualifications.

And Bang Haeun was far more qualified.

‘That’s finally being revealed now.’

Seong Hayul had fallen, and everything was slowly finding its proper place.

Thinking so while wearing a satisfied smile, an irritating existence was approaching her.

It was Gyeon Junhwi, smiling brightly.

“Bang Haeun, do you have a voice amplifier?”

“Why?”

“What do you mean why, you agreed to take overall command for the next trial, right?”

“It’s fine, I have one too.”

Bang Haeun raised her voice amplifier and naturally averted her gaze.

‘Nothing good comes from looking at those eyes too long.’

She only learned the true meaning of the expression ‘pretty boy gigolo’ today. She didn’t know faces specialized in bewitching countless women and bankrupting households with one eye-smile actually existed.

But her surprise was brief.

‘Filthy bastard.’

Gyeon Junhwi used this face to climb to class representative position. A powerless non-combat type using his beautiful appearance and long tongue as weapons to ascend to a position reigning over all cadets.

While Bang Haeun swallowed her disgust internally, the DM window was burning up again.

|Gu Jinyeong| Why’s Gyeon Junhwi acting like that? Does he really plan to go with us?

|Song Yuna| Obviously a lie.

|Sang Hojun| Class evaluations are being filmed, so if the class representative says such things then betrays, that’d be worth watching, no? Isn’t that guy part of some important committee in student council?

|Song Yuna| Position matters but grades matter more

|Gu Jinyeong| If his true nature gets revealed, the character controversy will be no joke lololol. Doesn’t he know?

For once the idiots were producing quite good ideas.

Character matters for class representatives. Participating in competition during class is fine, but creating traps to induce complacency and betraying others can be problematic.

Yet Gyeon Junhwi, blinded by grades, was helping Yeon Sora participate in betrayal.

‘This, perhaps…?’

It might be possible to pull down an unqualified person from student council. Then a more legitimate owner could sit in that position.

Bang Haeun smiled brightly and focused on conversing with Gyeon Junhwi.

“Junhwi, can we use ‘Nine-Tailed Fox Nest’ in the next trial too? I think it would help a lot.”

“Of course. Just tell me where to install it.”

“Really? I’ll trust you unconditionally since you’re class representative?”

“Haha, naturally. I definitely keep my word once I give it.”

‘Is this guy dumber than expected too?’

Well, thanks to that she could leave plenty of evidence of abusing trust granted to class representative status.

‘Better than expected.’

Bang Haeun never planned to go with Yeon Sora from the start.

Though initially tempted by the freshman maximum firepower, from the moment they exchanged words she’d resolved to keep maximum distance from that woman.

Just recalling the first conversation with Yeon Sora raised her blood pressure.

— No, I thought your words had merit too, but Seong Hayul was shutting you down without even listening, and I found that uncomfortable.

— Then you think using toys in this situation is common sense?

— Last time too, when you, Yeon Sora, were doing that interview, Seong Hayul was putting you down and interfering.

— Stopping Yeon Sora was the right thing to do. Do you think Yeon Sora’s crazy interview made sense?

She’d bothered taking Yeon Sora’s side and got that reaction. The words ‘Hey bitch, your name is Yeon Sora!’ nearly burst out involuntarily.

But more concerning than that was Yeon Sora’s excessive interest in the gauntlets. Over the past hour, Yeon Sora touched these gauntlets a full 32 times.

‘She definitely knows.’

This item is the first gift her parents gave her.

It’s not an ordinary object and shouldn’t be detected even by mana trackers… she felt inexplicable ominousness from the continued surveillance.

She’ll part ways with Yeon Sora here. And utilize Yeon Sora’s betrayal to gather separate forces.

Bang Haeun was organizing the situation like that when.

“I’m done writing! As expected, gungsuh font is the answer for names!”

Yeon Sora finally wrote her name on the flag.

And shortly after,

Rummmble—

The ground trembled as pitch-black darkness descended.

* * *

‘So this is the Gate of Choice?’

A door glowing white in the darkness.

The moment the flag owner records their name on the flag, the ‘Gate of Choice’ spawns. This door will only open if Yeon Sora decides to accompany someone.

‘That won’t happen.’

Bang Haeun decided to wait calmly.

Originally, only death awaits those not chosen by Yeon Sora. But thanks to the wearable barrier provided by the academy, losers are transported to the waiting space.

After waiting 5 hours there, they must re-enter the stage with the losers and repeat the same trial.

‘Too bad DMs don’t work.’

It would be nice to instruct the stupid team members on next steps during this gap, but DM communication temporarily stops during selection time.

Well, the names Yeon Sora will call are obvious anyway.

She’ll reunite with everyone before long. Then she can gather the defeated soldiers, raise forces, and move.

Thinking so while waiting, but,

“……”

The wait was too long.

Though she couldn’t tell exactly, it seemed at least 30 minutes had passed.

It was strange for selection to take this long. Just as she was worrying something might have gone wrong,

Click—

The white door before her eyes opened, revealing a bright space.

The intermediate zone visited before moving to the next trial. Beyond the door, Yeom Juwan was gesturing toward her.

“Bang Haeun! Hurry and come out.”

“Huh? Me?”

Yeon Sora… chose her?

Bewilderment at the unexpected situation lasted only briefly. Bang Haeun entered the room while checking the internal personnel.

Excluding Yeon Sora, only Ki Hyeonmin, Yeom Juwan, and Han Boram were present.

“Where are Seong Hayul and Gyeon Junhwi? And my team members?”

“We’re planning to call them in a bit. Sorry, Yeon Sora’s condition suddenly got bad so she was taking a rest.”

Yeon Sora lay on the floor using Han Boram’s lap as a pillow. A strange notification sound rang from Yeon Sora’s wrist.

[Ding! Ding! Body temperature has risen! Please rest for 5 minutes! Ding! Ding! Body temperature has risen! Please rest for 5 minutes!]

“Yeon Sora sometimes has sudden physical decline. Please wait just a moment.”

Yeom Juwan explained with a somewhat bitter smile, then went right next to Yeon Sora and began caring for her. Ki Hyeonmin glanced at Bang Haeun once, but he also moved right next to Yeon Sora.

‘Was this why?’

The reason time lengthened.

Something went wrong with Yeon Sora.

That’s understandable, but….

‘Why exactly did she call me?’

This situation was confusing.

She naturally expected betrayal, but Yeon Sora decided to accompany her. Bang Haeun had taken betrayal so for granted that she hadn’t devised any scenarios for this case at all.

Because the atmosphere had been that hostile.

But then,

‘?’

An object entered Bang Haeun’s vision.

The red flag.

The flag thrown alone on the floor while everyone focused only on Yeon Sora stabbed her eyes painfully.
