Possessor #2 Just Wants to Fangirl Chapter 28

“Sora’s a freshman representative?”

“Congratulations!”

“Crazy!!! Freshman rep? My friend is a freshman rep? Damn, crazy!!!”

At the news that just came in, Suspects 2 and 3 congratulated me, while Lee Hyojun jumped around making a fuss.

Yeom Juwan is tilting his head.

“Is freshman representative that big a deal?”

“Of course! She’s on a completely different level from us!”

Lee Hyojun couldn’t contain his excitement and poured out words.

“Freshman rep has that special edge, you know! This year’s class representative! Next year’s student council president! Big 4 guild love calls! Top-tier entry right from debut! Another level! Heaven-dweller status!”

“I see it’s a big deal. …Congratulations.”

Yeom Juwan’s smile has no strength in it.

No wonder—right in front of my baby who’s trying so hard, the suspect keeps chanting ‘You and Yeon Sora are different levels! Different leagues!’

‘I’ll have to call Juwan over later and comfort him.’

This is clearly, obviously, unmistakably potential emotional baggage.

It’ll choke him up later if I let it sit.

Let’s deal with it in time… Just then, a shadow suddenly fell over me.

When I lifted my head, a woman I’d never seen before was standing there.

“Sorry, I’m at the next table so I couldn’t help overhearing… Are you really a freshman representative?”

“Yes.”

“You’re Cadet Yeon Sora, right? Nice to meet you! I’m also a freshman, Kang Jihye!”

“Ah, yes.”

As soon as I roughly nodded my head in greeting, I heard scraping sounds of chairs dragging across the floor from here and there.

Scrrrrape!

And a few seconds later, every human in the cafeteria swarmed this way.

“I’m also a freshman! Lee Hansu!”

“Me too, classmate Kang Inyoung!”

“Second-year Oh Jinsu. Nice to meet you.”

In the work, freshman representatives, class representatives, student council presidents enjoy celebrity-level popularity.

Because people in <On the Brink of Destruction> watch Tower clear videos instead of movies or dramas.

Freshman representatives are future star hunters.

People approaching out of simple curiosity, people approaching as fans, people approaching for networking, people approaching with the attitude of ‘let’s see just how great you are’—all kinds of types are bound to latch on.

“If you’re freshman rep, your class must be S-class?”

“Is it true you were active during the awakening test incident?”

“I’m your senior, so ask if you don’t know something.”

“Want me to give you a campus tour if you need one?”

Before I knew it, our table was completely surrounded, and omnidirectional question bombardment continued.

What is this… isn’t this chaotic?

I’m getting dizzy, you guys!

“Don’t misunderstand! Sora, her smiling face is just naturally like that!”

“We were surprised at first too, but she’s really kind!”

Occasionally hearing things like this, my face must be quite a sight.

The one who saved me from this mayhem party was Yeom Juwan.

“I’m sorry. She’s not feeling well today, so we’ll be heading in first.”

* * *

My dorm room.

Being in a quiet place cured the motion sickness, but my head is chaos itself.

I’m unsettled, so unsettled…

In the original work, Ki Hyeonmin and Gyeon Junhwi were the freshman representatives.

But I pushed out Gyeon Junhwi and snatched that position.

And what happens when things differ from the original?

The butterfly effect occurs.

‘Should I check first?’

▷ Faculty Information

…

▷ General Forum

The general forum is the academy system’s only anonymous board.

In the original work, this place blazed up right after the freshman representative announcement.

Same goes for now.

[This year’s freshman reps’ class wow (3,012)]

Why are there so many comments?

When I clicked on the post, an unexpected sight greeted me.

[This year’s freshman reps’ class wow]

(Article capture)(Photo) (Photo)

This year is truly legendary.

No rebuttals accepted.

————

The post contained a capture of a campus newspaper article, and photos of me and Ki Hyeonmin from the newspaper separately cropped and uploaded.

Photos…

A photo of Ki Hyeonmin!

“Craaaazy!”

An exclamation burst out naturally.

My first official data since possessing!

“Save! Save!”

I didn’t know how to save photos on my device, so I inquired via live chat, but got a message that it wasn’t operating hours, so I contacted the emergency service consultant, but they rejected it saying this wasn’t an emergency, and only after begging desperately saying it was a life-or-death matter and squeezing out tears could I barely learn how to save files.

I made two folders for now.

Daily viewing use, collection use.

In case something happens to my device, I should print physical copies later and get a safe.

‘It’s been so long, this thrill! This sense of achievement!’

Creating a cozy home for precious data.

Moving in photos of my baby to their respective homes—the satisfaction is no joke.

As expected, 3D fangirling is the best!

I don’t know why I quit this!

Only after safely storing the data did I straighten my posture and begin viewing with a reverent heart.

Ki Hyeonmin’s monumental first photo!

…The quality is dismal.

‘Did they take this in a subway photo booth?’

No lighting, no editing whatsoever.

I can’t feel affection for the subject or a professional’s touch.

Despite being so raw, Ki Hyeonmin’s face is otherworldly.

My baby is really three-dimensionally handsome!

Handsome to the maximum extent a person can be handsome!

I wasn’t the only one thinking that, it seems.

— OMG

— What is this, graphics?

— So handsome it’s almost fascinating

— That face is truly merciless.

— Huh, the male rep is wearing a t-shirt? I thought it was a tailcoat?

↳ LOL I looked again after seeing the comment above and it’s really casual clothes?

↳ For real lololol

↳ What? The optical illusion his aura creates is insane.

Ki Hyeonmin has an appearance where noble energy flows… beyond flowing, it gushes out.

Image-wise, it’s like an angel banished to the human realm long ago secretly settled somewhere in Northern Europe and founded a kingdom, but that kingdom was destroyed for some reason and he’s the last remaining descendant… that kind of image.

Cold yet noble somewhere, difficult to approach yet beautiful, strong yet lonely-looking.

To recognize that, these learned people!

The comments also had reactions about me.

— The female rep looks like a wax figure

— Too precious. Like an elf and princess combined?

↳ Really seems like a different species

— I seriously want to live with that face once

— Must be thrilling every time you look in a mirror

— Please establish a nation…

↳ 22 I’ll give you my country

Right, Yeon Sora’s beauty doesn’t fall short anywhere either.

The nation-founding request was a first, so the feeling was strange.

Honestly, it feels good but… the aftertaste is bitter.

‘Our Junhwi is quite a looker too.’

By nature, bias praise is more filling than self-praise.

But these poor souls currently don’t even know Gyeon Junhwi exists.

Because of that damn butterfly effect.

Clicking my tongue and continuing to read, familiar folks appeared.

—These days they seem to pick freshman reps by appearance. It wasn’t like that in our time

↳ The harmful effects of star hunters.

↳ Kids these days discuss filming concepts before combat strategy, they say hehe

Presumably, these folks are 1st generation.

Hunters in <On the Brink of Destruction> are broadly divided into three categories: 1st generation who awakened during the Great Rift, 2nd generation who awakened in the following 10 years, and 3rd generation that I belong to.

The 1st generation who awakened in the apocalypse and the 3rd generation who awakened in the hunter entertainment era have polar opposite values, and since they inhabit the same space, fights break out constantly.

— The old people stink

↳ Don’t do that while the elders are playing. It’s pitiful

— 3rd gen all lack respect. Who do they think they’re alive thanks to

↳ So what’s your ranking?

↳ Don’t hit the bones or you’ll make powder fly

— Top rankings are all 1st gen.

↳ But that’s not you

↳ Those people don’t fill their self-esteem with backseating here. Move along

So the 3,000 comments are because of this.

Right, fights are the most fun!

As long as you’re just watching and not participating!

However,

— Face privilege acknowledged.

↳ Female rep stated with her own mouth flame magic/targeted-type/area-of-effect. Old farts clenching teeth and trembling in broad daylight was amazing.

Someone revealed my ability claiming to counter the older generation.

I don’t know who.

I publicly disclosed my ability with my own mouth in front of nearly 50 witnesses on awakening test day.

My real ability is skill copying anyway, so my cards aren’t exposed. I don’t particularly plan to hide my strength, so it shouldn’t matter much…?

— Targeted area-of-effect on awakening day lololol

— New influx delusion level

— Targeted/area-of-effect even in 2nd year gets called genius you ignorant bastard

↳ These days stars all have targeted/area so idiots think everyone has it

— The fabrication lacks sincerity. At least do some research.

— Completely different topic but isn’t this violating the Awakened Personal Information Protection Act?

↳ Forcing the person to disclose is violation. Us speculating behind their back is fine

— Newbie season is a season alright

— Haha it’s so absurd it’s funny but what’s the point of such fabrication?

My ability being excessively OP created a fabrication controversy.

Because of that, the revealer suffered personal attacks, and other witnesses who couldn’t stand it popped out one after another.

— No bullshit targeted/area-of-effect isn’t fabricated. Was there in person and heard the same.

↳ 22

↳ 33

↳ I was at that outbreak scene and saw with my own two eyes.

↳ What if no verification?

↳ Here’s the article I interviewed for. (Student ID photo) (Article link)

When testimony was added to verification, the atmosphere changed.

From ‘fabrication anyway’ to ‘is it possible?’

[Why YSR targeted-type/area-of-effect is fact] (+) ^[1] TLN: In case you missed the meaning of YSR, it’s Yeon Sora. The author use abbreviation as well: ㅇㅅㄹ. 연 (yeon) = ㅇ, 소 (so) = ㅅ, 라 (ra) = ㄹ.

1. Both freshman reps were active in the outbreak.

This was already reported in the XX Daily article.

2. If just beating them with force, rankers have no reason to bring freshmen to the scene.

3. But if they brought them anyway, there’s only one reason.

Don’t know about area-of-effect but targeted-type is 100%.

———

— This is correct

— But why is targeted-type 100%?

↳ Targeted-type is the ability to target only monsters in situations where hostages and monsters are mixed

↳ ???

↳ Rankers can only spam bombs but YSR sends tracking missiles. The most necessary ability for survivor rescue.

↳ Oh I see thanks thanks

Some posts had quite accurate analysis, while others informed me of facts I didn’t even know.

2. Euphoria Marquez (World Ranking 5th)

If real, YSR is the 3rd

— Yesss! Is South Korea finally getting a calamity-class ability user?

— When YSR graduates, world rankings will change

— 1st place let’s go!!!!!

— Might just clear the Tower altogether lol

↳ Then we should designate her a national treasure

— I look forward to showing those foreigners the power of South Korea.

— How do we wait 3 years

With a spoonful of nationalism added, posts treating me as a national hero suddenly began appearing one after another.

[Why YSR should be managed at the national level]

[Historical World Ranking 1st vs. YSR comparison post]

[YSR future value estimation]

…

Of course, there weren’t only good posts.

For example, there was also this.

———

[YSR might be talent-gifted but personality seems lacking?]

: Greeted her at the cafeteria earlier but got an arrogant smile

Didn’t even see me as human, just looked down

———

— I felt the same chill

— Same dorm and super arrogant even in front of the dorm head

↳ If her personality is trash would she enter an outbreak to save people on awakening day?

↳ Cutting her down doesn’t raise your evaluation.

— Haah… here we go again

↳ Already seeing crazies attach themselves, how pitiful.

I was a bit worried, but people drunk on nationalism rose up, so that post was deleted within 5 minutes of creation.

And the posts that followed were all Yeon Sora praise posts.

[YSR expected growth route]

[No matter how capable, going to an outbreak is impressive?]

[Historical national heroes vs. Yeon Sora’s seedling days comparison]

[But does YSR have student council president potential?]

The moment I saw the last uploaded post, my brain went cold.

Come to think of it, I came to the forum to gauge the butterfly effect, didn’t I?

This is that butterfly effect.

‘I… I’m not becoming student council president, am I?’

Cold sweat poured out.

No matter what happens, I must prevent that above all else.

If I become student council president… the world will be destroyed.
