A Civil Servant Who Hides His Strength Is Exceptionally Good at Possession – Episode 047
YouTube?
I opened YouTube with an ominous feeling gnawing at me.
Then, following Lee Yu-gyeom’s instructions, I searched for “Taekwondo Girl.”
And then—
Taekwondo Girl subdues a C-Rank Hunter who hijacked Bus 316 with a roundhouse kick!
The identity of the Taekwondo Girl revealed—she was an F-Rank Hunter?
When the promising young athlete from the athletes’ village became a Hunter Investigation Unit investigator
why are there so many videos?
Given that the thumbnails all looked similar, it appeared there was one original source video that everyone had copied and pasted.
And that original video was likely—
CCTV from inside Bus 316 leaked exclusively
A single long-form video.
A full twenty minutes long.
Since this account typically posted videos of citizen heroes or highway villains getting beaten down, I could easily guess how this person had obtained the CCTV footage.
‘Choi Woo-jin… that bastard.’
And the view count was…
‘Six million views…?’
Was this real…?
Glancing at the comments, I spotted a few in English.
As I stared at the video with a hardened expression, Kwon Ik-seong asked.
“What’s the matter?”
“Well… it’s just…”
I sighed and turned my phone screen toward Kwon Ik-seong.
“I think you should take a look at this right now.”

* * *
The video conveniently begins with Seo Gil-su hijacking the bus.
Apparently matching the original account’s style, captions were scattered throughout the footage.
[A critical moment—the criminal shoots and threatens the driver.]
The camera zooms in on that scene, and my face comes into view.
In this situation, I’m standing there with a blank expression, casually chewing bubble gum.
[Is there really just one passenger who remains composed in this situation?]
Composed? That’s ridiculous.
I was genuinely terrified back then!
Meanwhile, the moment an E-Rank Hunter among the passengers steps forward to subdue the criminal! A mysterious pink powder scatters through the air! While everyone loses consciousness—
In the video, I can be seen quietly hiding my body beneath a seat.
When did I move like that?
Well, I had told the “original body” to stay hidden anyway.
Then I notice myself sneaking through the crowd of people.
Meanwhile, the real “me”… that is, Seo Gil-su, is gleefully driving.
‘So I actually danced like that…’
Watching Seo Gil-su gripping the steering wheel and doing a wave motion, I squeezed my eyes shut.
However, Kwon Ik-seong beside me, watching this spectacle on his tablet, didn’t even flinch.
I pulled up the comments section on my phone, desperate to avoid looking at my own pathetic display.
Comments
-Is it even possible to move like that after inhaling funny powder? National team mentality lol
└Doesn’t seem like a mentality issue.
└Isn’t that thing on his face supposed to be an item in the first place?
└People don’t know. When national team members awaken as Hunters, their stats definitely differ from regular Hunters of the same rank. It’s different from mechanical measurement.
└No, I’m saying that bubble gum is an item? Check out the 【ReviewReview】 channel, it’s there lol
The 【ReviewReview】 channel?
What’s that?
I was puzzled by this.
In the video, “Seo Gil-su” hits the guardrail once, then suddenly stares into empty space and mutters something.
“Owner…”
At that moment, Kwon Ik-seong quietly murmured beside me.
“…?”
Did he just read my lips?
Moreover, Kwon Ik-seong even wrote down what Seo Gil-su was saying in his notebook.
Please take good care of me. Feed me beef. Pet me twice a day.
…Damn it.
Masochistic tendencies.
Seeing the words Kwon Ik-seong wrote in his notebook, I clenched my fist beneath the desk.
‘Ik-seong thinks I’m a pervert…’
I really want to hide somewhere.
It was while I was thinking such thoughts.
A faint smile appeared on Seo Gil-su’s face.
Seon-a.
Ik-seong’s expression became enigmatic.
Seon-i.
That’s right. I was looking at Seon-i back then.
That was when it happened.
Seo Gil-su struck the guardrail once, cursed, and rose from his seat while keeping his grip on the steering wheel.
In that instant, Lee Yu-ji, who had been crawling slowly forward while hiding her body among the passengers, lifted herself up.
She extended her right foot forward and rotated her upper body using that foot as an axis.
Simultaneously, Lee Yu-ji’s body lifted into the air in the bus traveling at 100 kilometers per hour, spinning in a complete rotation.
Followed by a spinning back kick.
Comments
-9:31 Tlqkf A spinning back kick on a moving bus? Insane? This is legendary
Why don’t the Awakened Ones have the Olympics ㅠㅠㅠ
-Is that even possible? Physics department, stand up
└I have a Master’s in Physics. I have no idea how spinning 540 degrees using the thigh as an axis on a bus traveling at 100 kilometers per hour is possible given the bus’s velocity and the law of inertia. How did she do it.
How I did it… I have no idea.
My body just remembered and did it!
‘It’s been so long since I’ve done this.’
The moment Lee Yu-ji struck Seo Gil-su’s face and regained her balance, she immediately aimed a front kick at his groin.
Comments
-Ugh…! Even an A-Rank Hunter would die from that
If you’re a man, there’s a moment when you don’t have a hunter or anything like that lol
“Ugh…”
As I recalled the pain from back then and grimaced, Kwon Ik-seong looked at me with confusion.
“Ah, well… um… I… it seems like it would hurt.”
I brushed it off vaguely.
Regardless, the video continued.
In the video, Lee Yu-ji beat Seo Gil-su to a pulp, then handcuffed him and removed the bomb from his vest.
[According to the informant, the investigator in the video was not an Awakener and bomb removal was impossible in that situation. Surrounding investigators urged the investigator to abandon the bus and escape alone, but she refused and attempted to handle it herself.]
And below that, this caption appeared.
“The informant is a Gamer.”
Upon seeing that, Kwon Ik-seong spoke calmly.
He probably anticipated it from the beginning.
That a Gamer would leak this video.
Even if Kwon Ik-seong couldn’t yet guess what the Gamer’s ‘game’ was aiming for right now.
“Team Leader Kwon!”
Just then, someone from Team 1 opened the Interrogation Room door and entered.
The name on his badge read ‘Yeo Hyeong-se’.
“Are you looking for Captain Hong?”
Kwon Ik-seong asked as if he’d expected this.
And soon, as if answering his question, someone emerged from behind Yeo Hyeong-se.
“Oh my, Investigator Lee Yu-ji! Why is our precious Junior Member of Team 5 in such a shabby place….”
It was Captain Hong.
He flashed a bright smile and extended his hand toward me.
“Does our Investigator Lee Yu-ji prefer coffee or tea? What about refreshments? What would you like?”
He naturally helped me to my feet and dragged me into his office.

* * *
To cut to the chase, there were two more videos that amplified the impact of the CCTV footage.
One of them was a channel called 【Review Review】 that had been mentioned in the comments of the video I’d seen.
The Channel Owner, who had 3 million subscribers, revealed himself as a survivor of the 316 Bus Accident a few hours ago and pointed me out as the investigator who saved him.
[My memory is a bit hazy after inhaling the Funny Powder, but I found out from the CCTV footage that this person saved me.]
His face looked familiar.
‘That guy was a YouTuber?’
He was the E-Rank Hunter who had stepped forward claiming he’d subdue Seo Gil-su.
That guy from the Melodians Fan Club!
The one who’d taken a back kick from me and was now in a cast for what seemed like broken ribs kept thanking me profusely.
[I express my respect to that investigator, my lifesaver. I’m aware that public opinion toward the Hunter Investigation Unit hasn’t been favorable lately, but I couldn’t just stand by and watch the investigators who risked their lives to save us get insulted.]
“This is the power of SNS, isn’t it! The eyes of citizens! This is what they call the spirit of our times, right? Hmm?”
And thanks to that, public opinion was gradually turning around—
“This is a brand new, incredibly expensive confection. Try one.”
Before my eyes sat an array of elegant refreshments.
How should I put it…. A little….
‘Satisfying?’
I suppressed my smile and placed a sweet honey pastry in my mouth.
