Shy Suya had been noticing strange hints for weeks. Hints that Hwang Siyeok's calm, perfect mastery at school wasn't just skill — it was something else. Something far beyond ordinary.
Today, she followed him after school, curiosity guiding her steps. Hwang led her along quiet streets, past high-end shops and private lanes, until they arrived at a mansion unlike any she had ever seen. The gate opened with a simple code he entered, and she gasped softly as the massive property came into view.
"Y-You live here?" she whispered.
Hwang smiled faintly, his calm presence radiating control. "This is where I live, yes. But there is more you do not yet know."
Inside, the home was vast yet tastefully restrained, with subtle signs of immense wealth — rare books, fine art, advanced technology, and luxurious furnishings.
Shy Suya's eyes widened further when Hwang casually said, "I am… not from one nation. I am the combination of all nations. Languages, cultures, systems — I am aware of all."
She blinked. "W-What…?"
He waved his hand lightly toward a sleek console in the study. Instantly, financial screens appeared: multi-billion-dollar accounts, unlimited credit cards, and international holdings. Hwang Siyeok's calm voice echoed, "I want this. And I will buy the most expensive, rarest, and most advanced things — anywhere, anytime."
Shy Suya felt her heart pound. She had always known he was exceptional, but this level of mastery and wealth was beyond her imagination.
Then, casually, Hwang gestured toward his family:
"This is my mother, Hwang Eun-hee. My father, Hwang Dae-hyun. And my sister, Hwang Mina."
Shy Suya swallowed hard. "Your… your family knows?"
"They know me," Hwang said simply, "and I know them. That is all."
He continued, motioning toward the large map on the wall. "And this," he said, "is where we live — Seoul, South Korea. My real name, which you now know, is Hwang Siyeok."
Shy Suya staggered back slightly, trying to process everything. Hidden identity, immense wealth, multinational mastery, family, home, real name… everything about him had been hidden until now.
Hwang turned to a terminal in the corner. His fingers danced across the interface. "Now… I will acquire something unprecedented."
Shy Suya watched, eyes wide, as Hwang Siyeok seemingly hacked every system imaginable — banking networks, international procurement systems, even AI control grids. In moments, he had purchased the most advanced technology, including AI from futuristic civilizations and assets equivalent to a Kardashev Type 10 civilization.
And yet, he remained calm. Just as always.
Shy Suya's mind raced. "You… you're human?"
Hwang's green eyes met hers, steady and unshakable. "Yes. Fully human. But fully capable."
For the first time, Shy Suya truly understood the scale of his mastery: not only peak-human skill and intelligence, but wealth, technology, influence, and subtle guidance, all quietly integrated into his daily life.
And as she realized this, she couldn't help but feel a mixture of awe, fear, and admiration. Hwang Siyeok — her classmate, the mysterious transfer student — was far beyond anything she had ever imagined.
