Fortunately, watching a game and attending a class in person were different realms.
In the game, the information felt like reading text, so it was easy to gloss over some parts...
But the quality of the information that Park Yun-ho explained directly was on a different level.
"There are two types of villains who take hostages and demand negotiations. Those who can actually kill the hostage to get out of the situation, and those who can't kill and are just holding the hostage as a temporary measure. The safest and most effective way to distinguish between them is to attack the hostage."
"Wouldn't the hostage get hurt if you attack them?"
"Of course, you have to control your strength. The attack should be as flashy as possible but weak, essentially a performance. If you do that, the villain will panic or realize that the deal won't go through and will choose to flee."
He taught the students practical and realistic tips.
The students were also enthusiastic. They realized that what they were learning was not like 'Math, English, and Korean' but information that would be necessary when they became real heroes.
Suddenly, Park Yun-ho, who was teaching the children with great enthusiasm, stopped talking.
"Oh, it's already this late."
At the same time, the bell rang throughout the classroom.
It meant that the morning classes were over and it was now lunchtime.
"Let's end today's class here. Since it's the first class, there's no homework today."
"Thank you!"
He nodded to the children and left the classroom.
At the same time, the children got up from their seats and started heading to the cafeteria noisily.
"Boss, it's lunchtime. Aren't you going to eat?"
Jin-woo, as usual, tapped my shoulder to ask if I was going to the cafeteria with him.
"Of course, I'm going to eat. But I have a separate lunch appointment."
"Hmm?"
Jin-woo's eyes widened at that.
"Boss, you have a friend other than us?"
Is he trying to provoke me?
"......I decided to go to the 'International Trade Club' for club-related matters. It's a bit disappointing, but you guys will have to eat without me today."
"Wow, you're even working during lunchtime? Do you have to work that hard to earn 10 billion in pocket money? Well, can't be helped."
"I'll go ahead."
"Work hard~"
Leaving Jin-woo, who was making a fuss, behind, I headed to the International Trade Club's room.
After yesterday's incident, the staff immediately guided me to the room where Iharu was, as soon as they saw me.
When I opened the door, Iharu's eyes met mine as she was laying out bento boxes on the table.
"Ah, you're here, young master."
"......I'm sorry for setting up an appointment during lunchtime."
"It's fine. Lunchtime is just a time to have a light meal and take a nap anyway."
She put down the last bento box and pointed to the seat in front of her.
"Although I prepared these in the club kitchen this morning, they are quite simple... Please sit down."
"Hmm? Prepared? Did you make them?"
The level of the bento boxes laid out was so diverse and exquisite that it could have been made by professional chefs. And she made them?
"What... is strange?"
Iharu tilted her head, puzzled by my reaction.
"No, it's not that. I just thought your skills were beyond my imagination."
She nodded, as if finally understanding what I meant.
"I've received various educations from my family since I was young. Among them, I quite enjoy cooking."
Iharu enjoys cooking?
I found this new fact intriguing.
Was it a habit from when I was a gamer? Sometimes, when I discovered unknown information in the game, I felt a sense of satisfaction.
[Encyclopedia updated.]
[Character Encyclopedia (N)]
Especially when the encyclopedia was updated like this.
[Name: Iharu]
[Affiliation: Inomiya Group, Academy]
[Description: Her real name is Inomiya Haru. She is the eldest daughter of an Inomiya Group director and one of the next Inomiya Group successors. She has built a close relationship with Calliope since childhood through the group's activities and has a versatile set of skills due to the group's education. Among them, she enjoys cooking the most.]
If it's mentioned in the encyclopedia, it must be a significant characteristic.
Just looking at her now, Iharu, who usually maintains a poker face, was gripping her pants, seemingly nervous, giving me a sense of how much she loves cooking.
"To call these simple is an understatement. They are excellent."
"R... really?"
Iharu bowed her head deeply upon hearing my words. I nodded at her and sat down.
"Can I eat now?"
"Please do."
I carefully took the chopsticks she handed me and picked up the most eye-catching dish.
"Hmm...?"
The meat disappeared as soon as it entered my mouth.
"......Better than the family's chefs. Impressive."
As I praised her sincerely and looked up, I saw a flustered scene.
"......"
Iharu's face was blushing.
But she quickly regained her composure, as if reading my expression.
"Thank you for the compliment. Please eat before it gets cold."
She then sat across from me and started eating, and as the atmosphere for conversation formed, I began to speak.
"By the way, since I've eaten, I should pay for the meal."
"Pay for the meal?"
Iharu tilted her head, not understanding the sudden topic.
I took out the USB I had in my pocket and placed it in front of her.
"Recent information I obtained about the Triad's overseas accounts."
Iharu looked at the USB in front of her and then at me. I continued the conversation I hadn't finished.
"From what I know, there's about 1.3 billion credits in the account. I plan to invest this money in the 'International Trade Club' and my club. 1 billion for my club and 300 million for the 'International Trade Club.' What do you think?"
Iharu, who had been listening, put down her chopsticks and thought for about 10 seconds.
"It seems feasible. The Inomiya Group often uses our club."
She then picked up the USB and put it in her inner pocket.
"What name should we use for the investor? Even if it's anonymous, such a large amount of money will certainly attract attention."
"Use the name of the group that my mother owned. I'll inform Grandfather separately."
Iharu nodded at my explanation.
"You mean the Hanwol Group. In that case, there should be no problem. I expect it to take about four days to complete all the procedures... Is that acceptable?"
"Plenty of time. I'm sorry for bringing up such matters during lunch."
Iharu shook her head at my words.
"By investing 300 million credits in the 'International Trade Club,' you are doing us a great favor. I will do my best to support your club as well."
With Iharu saying that, it seemed there would be no major issues in cleaning up the Triad's funds.
With that, the main topic was covered.
While we were having a light lunch and talking about recent events and club-related matters, Iharu shared some interesting news.
"By the way, rumors about you are starting to spread among the second and third-year students."
"Rumors about me?"
"Yes. Since it's unprecedented for a club to be established in just one day, it has drawn attention."
It wasn't unexpected. In fact, it was something I had hoped for.
Having a high profile in club activities could be seen as an advantage.
However, the reason Iharu was telling me this...
"Are you worried I'll become a target?"
"Yes. There are certainly students who will try to test your abilities."
This damn academy is full of people desperate to prove their strength.
Therefore, I had to prove it.
I am not just a junior to be used for testing their strength.
To prevent such situations, I had ruthlessly swept away the 'Fund Investment Club' members as an example... but that was still within the training hall.
With the stage being the entire academy, it was certain that there would be people targeting me from unexpected places.
I guess Iharu is worried about that.
However,
"There's no need to worry. I planned to resolve this issue today."
"......Today?"
"Yes. We're receiving the club room today."
"Ah, the club room? I saw a post on the school community yesterday about starting to take requests, so that must be it."
By the way, the post Iharu mentioned was something I had Jin-woo do last night. While discussing how to best promote the club in the group chat, this idea came up.
"I didn't check it because of family matters last night, but it became a popular post?"
"Didn't you check? Let me show you..."
Iharu turned on her smartphone, which was on the table, and showed me a window.
Inside was a content that made me gasp.
[★Popular Post★]
[Title: Isn't it a bit ridiculous that the 'Fund Investment Club' guys got robbed by a freshman today? 😂😂😂]
[Yes, it's ridiculous. Because that freshman is our club president.
Hello, we are the newly established club [Familia].
The reason I'm writing this post is to promote our club.
Yes, there is a club promotion section.
To be honest, the president just told me to post a promotion and didn't read
