Possessor #2 Just Wants to Fangirl Chapter 180

“Hey! Yeon Sora! Wake up quick, you!”

I woke to Seong Hayul’s sharp voice. Still drowsy from incomplete sleep, but strangely refreshed…

“What! 7 o’clock? 7 AM?”

“Yeah! If you don’t get ready in 30 minutes, you’ll be late!”

“When did I fall asleep?”

I shook my head side to side and briefly rewound yesterday’s memories.

Returning from the medical wing, getting radar and ability stat consultation from Junhwi, talking with Professor Ban, then after that… I drank the cocoa Junhwi gave me.

No memories after the cocoa.

‘So this is what it feels like?’

Seems I got hit with a sleeping potion.

The feeling’s a bit off, but complaining when I’m a serial offender is laughable. This is karma!

“Not moving?”

“Going now!”

I jumped out of bed and my body feels especially light today. Sleep really is important… no!

War preparations! Being late is unacceptable!

I tried to wash up but Boram’s using the sink, so I hastily went to the living room. Juwan and Hyeonmin are on the sofa.

“Juwan! Your room’s bathroom is free, right?”

“Yeah, but Professor….”

“Thanks!”

I entered the room Juwan and Hyeonmin used, and saw an adult male sprawled on the bed.

Professor Ban. He came saying the outsourced work was completed at dawn, but function testing was needed so the Professor….

‘……’

Let’s not wake him.

I tiptoed on my heels and moved stealthily to finish washing and brushing.

While washing, I sneakily tried putting Incapacitation skill into the water but it doesn’t work well yet. But if I use the skill board Professor Ban gave as a gift, I can now put Incapacitation skill in water too…

— Yeon Sora!!!

Ah, this isn’t the time? War! War!

I hastily finished and came out to the living room where everyone was gathering supplies.

“Yeon Sora! Take out the guns you made yesterday!”

“Oh right!”

I pulled out all inventory stock and spread it on the floor. I opened an impromptu flea market telling everyone to take what they want, when—

“Can I take all of these?”

Junhwi made an unexpected choice. He picked the machine guns. Large weapons you have to carry with both hands aren’t my baby’s style, but even…

“All? All four?”

“Yeah.”

“Here, there are more compact and lighter products….”

“No, these are good. They have shoulder straps so I can sling them normally.”

Well, if our Junhwi likes them.

I obediently handed over all the machine guns in stock and was updating #WhatsInMyBag when—

Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong!

Urgent doorbell ringing.

When Juwan opened the door, two boys rushed into the living room.

“Yeom Juwan! Yeon Sora!”

Lee Hyojun and No Jitae.

Comrades who survived together in the first catastrophic incident.

I haven’t seen them much since practicals groups changed, but I know Juwan goes to the training ground with them when there’s no shift duty.

From their panting, they seem to have sprinted here.

“Don’t go to practicals today!”

“What are you suddenly saying?”

“Look! You haven’t seen the article yet!!!”

Why this fuss from dawn, before I could ask, the two shouted simultaneously.

“Anyway don’t go! Today, a terror attack is happening!!!”

What?

* * *

Main building auditorium.

Before the 89 practicals students scheduled to enter the Tower today, Professor Joo began briefing.

“Two days ago, Antithesis sent a terror threat to Phoenix Guild.”

Anxious murmuring arose everywhere, but I was calm.

‘When did they do that again?’

The ‘Antithesis’ being mentioned now is the fake terrorist group Ha Seonwoo created.

“The student council, considering the current situation….”

Junhwi is also involved.

“…cadets who wish to abstain, please inform us now. If four or more teams don’t participate, today’s practicals will be completely canceled. You have 30 minutes.”

Murmuring exploded in the auditorium, and I briefly organized the situation in this gap.

A fake terrorist group announced terror so today’s class is optional.

If four or more teams don’t attend, it’s canceled for insufficient enrollment. The war with the mastermind scheduled on the 10th floor is also postponed. I understand up to there but….

‘Why bother?’

I don’t understand why they’re summoning fake terrorists on war day. While I was absorbed in deduction, numerous students rushed to Junhwi.

“Gyeon Junhwi! What will you do?”

“Obviously postpone, right?”

“There’s no particular reason to go….”

Junhwi stroked his chin briefly while lost in thought, then carefully spoke.

“No, our team is going.”

“Huh?”

“What?”

“Why!”

The kids enlarged their eyes and doubled their volume, but Junhwi was firm.

“It’s not even confirmed dangerous yet.”

“There’s a possibility of terror! There’s no reason to go bearing that risk!”

“I won’t force you. But our team has to go.”

Junhwi plans to go to war. But even though he’s not asking them to come along, surrounding cadets started jumping around.

“So why!”

“We can all go after safety is secured, right? All 89 of us together!”

“Right, we even promised….”

Aha, I see.

Junhwi publicly promised to ‘give everyone a bus ride.’ But if only our team proceeds with practicals?

They’ll be sending off the only bus first.

‘This is why you shouldn’t keep promises.’

Because we provided such perfect service last time, they now think it’s their right. Even the protest intensity keeps rising.

“It’s postponing for safety reasons, right? No negative impact on grades!”

“If you recklessly challenge it, not just you but security personnel and other cadets get involved too?”

“Going fast doesn’t particularly have merit, right? Sure, you’d set a ‘record’ and ‘grades’ would improve, but it’s not important enough to expose everyone to ‘danger’ and break a ‘promise.'”

‘Haah, be patient…. Junhwi said not to punish anyone today. I must endure….’

I’m barely suppressing my rage while frustration keeps forcibly entering my stomach in real-time.

Living like this will kill me before my time, so I made a new file.

【Creating Death Note.txt】

The two who irritated me before naturally ascended to ranks 1 and 2 on the list.

I perked up my ears and recorded the names of ‘bastards openly cornering Junhwi’ and ‘bastards subtly criticizing him.’

But I don’t feel better. Just as my patience reaches its critical point,

“We can’t negotiate with terrorists.”

“……!”

“……!”

Brief silence descended on the auditorium.

Through the silence, Junhwi’s calm voice resonated.

“If we give in now, terrorists will become bolder. Someone has to stand against them.”

“……”

“……”

“Everyone doesn’t need to risk danger. But… at least Ki Hyeonmin and I can’t bow to terror.”

Right.

Junhwi was the class representative.

The Junhwi who until just now was ‘an inconsiderate bus operator blindly entering terror zones greedy for grades,’ ascended in a few sentences to ‘an extraordinary class representative who doesn’t yield to terror.’

Now the bus passengers’ persuasion became much more cautious.

“Wouldn’t waiting until next week be safer? If the academy or Big 4 Guilds prepare safety measures….”

“That would be more dangerous. Terror targeting mere freshmen can succeed with small-scale attacks. But if the Big 4 Guilds seriously intervene… they’ll have to prepare nuclear-level attacks.”

“They might chicken out….”

“That would be possible if they hadn’t sent a warning. But the die is already cast.”

Terror is an industry where reputation matters, so once you announce, you must execute.

Getting hit today is a slap, but next week is a bomb.

“Today, us confronting terrorists is the method that ensures the entire year’s safety.”

“……”

“……”

Everyone fell silent at the freshman class representative’s noble character. Junhwi scanned everyone then looked at the floor with a bitter smile.

“Of course, we alone aren’t enough. There’s a minimum enrollment.”

“……!”

“……!”

A minimum of four teams needed.

Excluding us, three more teams.

Time to recruit volunteers.

“I won’t force you. Instead, I’ll ask.”

“……”

“……”

I sneakily rolled my eyes to assess volunteer status.

I notice a male student who stepped forward then stopped. An impression somewhat resembling Captain America, he’s a kid I rather liked.

‘Never even approached the Death Note.’

Captain seems to be pondering whether to go or not.

Then,

“I won’t let anyone die.”

Ki Hyeonmin stood beside Gyeon Junhwi.

Ki Hyeonmin and Gyeon Junhwi.

The two side by side.

Trusting each other.

A composition where the two become pillars supporting these ragtag troops….

‘!@#$@#(#$%*’

Overwhelmed by emotion, I forgot not just language but also breathing technique, trying to remember how to breathe when—

“I don’t have combat power like Ki Hyeonmin but I should do my part….”

Junhwi pulled something from his inventory.

The machine gun I gave him. He slung one on his shoulder and loaded the magazine.

“A gun with special Incapacitation rounds. It can subdue even A-grade monsters, so there’ll be no problem against ‘Antithesis.'”

Weapon rental service provided only to participants!

The effect appeared instantly.

Captain finally stepped forward!

“This….”

Captain, who lightly lifted the machine gun, carefully asked Junhwi.

“It’s safe, right? It won’t cause suffocation through Paralysis?”

I see.

The reason Captain hesitated wasn’t ‘fear.’ Even if the opponent is a terrorist, he was reluctant about committing ‘murder’ for the first time.

The machine gun greatly lowered the psychological hurdle in that sense. Junhwi smiled sweetly and began safety explanations.

“That won’t happen. They’ll enter sleep state, but basic metabolism isn’t affected. Our goal isn’t victory but suppression. If enemies appear, hit them with this and hand them over to investigators.”

“Hmm….”

Captain’s eyes still lack conviction.

Right, testing before renting equipment is basic! Junhwi would get cursed if he does this, so I decided to step up.

“It’s true! I’ve tried it so I know it’s very safe! Plus it’s easy to use so… Kyaa!”

Rat-tat-tat-tat!

Two people from the Death Note list fell. My lips curved up, but I immediately covered the lower half of my face with both hands.

“Kyaaaa! What do I do!”

While I made a fuss, TAs rushed over to check the fainted kids.

After waiting a bit more, medical staff rushed over for professional examination, and delivered medical expert testimony that as Junhwi said, it doesn’t harm metabolism.

While the Death Note top-rankers drank potions and came to their senses, I looked at Captain again.

“It’s safe, right?”

“Haha, that’s true.”

Captain already has the gun strap around his neck with the machine gun perfectly equipped. He’s even exchanging camaraderie-filled gazes with Junhwi.

“Haha, what! You guys trying to look cool alone?”

Soon another person stepped up and grabbed a machine gun. A cocky-feeling male student, but his relaxed attitude is quite reliable. Doesn’t he seem skilled?

“Well, someone has to do it.”

A red-haired taciturn female student came out and took the last machine gun.

With us, four teams! Avengers assembled! For convenience, I’ll call them Captain, Iron Mask, and Widow respectively.

“Godspeed to you.”

“Thank you….”

“You guys really….”

Cheers for the Avengers poured from everywhere. The Avengers raised their machine guns with solemn expressions, responding to the cheers.

‘Ah, this is why machine guns were needed?’

The sight of them clashing machine guns together looks like the Three Musketeers’ ‘For justice!’ scene. It wouldn’t look right if they did that with pistols.

Watching these brave youths fills me with justice too.

These kids are heroes who mustered courage to secure all freshmen’s safety! They’ll never retreat even before evil terrorists….

“……”

Suddenly it felt like cold water was poured.

Because the terrorists the Avengers are facing are fake.

‘Wow….’

Only then realizing Junhwi’s strategy, I couldn’t close my mouth.

Why summon fake terrorists on war day?

First, it filters out cadets who’d avoid risk. Meaning fewer people for the mastermind to take hostage.

Plus the kids going with us are the justice-filled Avengers group. Since they volunteered themselves, they’re probably confident in their skills too.

Additionally, they think they don’t know when or where terror attacks will happen. He put the kids in war mode without mentioning the mastermind at all.

As a bonus, from the mastermind’s perspective there’s no suspicious activity, Junhwi became the freshman hero, and he doesn’t have to bus those Death Note bastards anymore.

As expected… our Junhwi is a god.
