"How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? How long do I have to accommodate you?"

"Ha… I really don't want to party with someone like you."

"Give it to me once. Honestly, I've given it to you many times. It's not like it's worn out, so I'll give it to you too."

"Hey! Stop wagging your tail. You shameless bitch!"

"Ha… Let's stop here. It seems like our guild and you don't fit together."

Every day was miserable for Lee Hyun-ah.

I came to Seoul with a hopeful future in mind, thinking that I could become an Awakened and take revenge on the annoying monsters.

What came to her was a harsh reality.

Talent that doesn't follow through as much as you want, dirty desires for something other than skill, and envy and jealousy about it…

As the days went by, she became more and more exhausted and her self-esteem hit rock bottom.

Her motivation, which made her feel like she could do anything, had long since disappeared, and she was just holding on by inertia.

And even that inertia was broken when he was fired from the guild.

'Should I just give up and go down like Minwoo said…?'

But she couldn't give up.

I was afraid that if I gave up like this, the words that criticized and mocked her would become reality.

But she was too tired to continue living the life of a hunter.

… and then I met Gamdeokbae.

"Aha! So this is how you do it?"

"Wow! You really know a thing or two. Thank you."

A beginner who started out as a hunter without even knowing the basics.

A person who is more stupid, foolish, and ignorant than you.

Still, he is a kind man and doesn't say anything unpleasant.

She smiled for the first time since she was fired.

'Huh! Are you an idiot? How can you not know something like this? I have no choice but to tell you.'

'No! You're going to do that? Do I really have to tell you this?'

'That's right. I feel a little better now. But what's with that expression? Huh! What did you do to make that confident expression?'

She was so happy for the first time in a long time.

It was refreshing and fun to hear her, who always got in trouble, teach me something.

Although he was a student with a bad attitude toward learning, I felt proud as he gradually reduced his mistakes.

From the fact that there are people who are worse than you

And in that the person is dependent on himself

So in that sense, the person acts according to his words.

Her self-esteem, which had hit rock bottom, began to rise little by little.

"Ah, I see. If I register my card here, the proceeds from the sale of magic stones will be automatically deposited?"

"Can I rent some equipment there?"

"Huh? No? What is it… Ah! This is it! Right?"

"That's right. Hyun-ah, you really know a lot. Thanks to you, I won't hear any complaints about you wherever I go."

Lee Hyun-ah felt a thrill at every word Gam Deok-bae said.

The gratitude I received from him was strangely addictive.

So she didn't let him go.

In order to continue to hear compliments and be appreciated, she took care of every little thing for him.

Before I knew it, time had passed and most of the stores were closing.

"Hyun-ah, thank you so much for today. It must have been hard for you to take this much care of someone you just met, so thank you so much for accepting my request."

"Ah… no! I didn't do it for free either."

"But it's actually my will. He also gave me a few magic stones."

"That's… since you're an F-rank… doesn't it usually happen that seniors take care of their juniors? It's the same for Hunters. Yes. It's like that."

"But that's not always the case, right? I'm glad I could party with Hyuna. I want to meet a party member like Hyuna next time too."

"Huh… Huh?"

She was genuinely embarrassed.

There's still a lot more to teach you, and a lot more to take care of.

So I deserve more 'thank you'…

He seems to want other party members.

"You said you only party with D-rank members of the same rank, right? I hope I can get promoted quickly and party with you again."

"ah…"

That's right.

Not knowing him well, she had built a wall around him.

I brought it up because I didn't want to party up with an old, ugly-looking F-rank healer, and this was the first and last time I'd do it.

But that was her mistake. The man she actually met was not the low-quality person she thought he was.

"That's not true!"

"yes?"

"That's… Mr. Deokbae has both skills and artifacts, so it's hard to see him as an F-rank… Also… That's right! Shouldn't you be relieved? I think you'll forget again tomorrow…"

"What do you mean?"

"So… I'll help you until you get promoted to D-rank! It's hard to find a party member you like. You might meet a bad party member and have your artifact stolen!"

She couldn't figure out what she was saying.

I just brought up whatever came to mind to somehow catch Gamdeokbae.

"It's not a loss for me either, because it's not easy to find a healer! Mr. Deokbae still has a lot to learn, and if you party up with another hunter, you might cause trouble… No! I don't mean to cause trouble for you…"

"Ah, it's good for me if I keep partying with Hyuna. It's reassuring to party with a veteran."

"Veteran… Yes, that's right! Good choice!"

'I did it…!'

Luckily, he readily accepted the party invitation.

Her stiff expression softened.

Her heart raced at the thought that he was relying on her, as he called her a solid veteran.

"Please contact me! I'll prepare the dungeons I'm going to conquer and the schedule in advance and then contact you!"

"Oh, then I would be so grateful."

"Ahh… He's thanking me again!"

She was so happy to be back at the party that she didn't even realize it.

Today, for the first time in her life, she asked for the number of a person of the opposite sex.

====

Wow… This is the first time in my life that I got my number from a girl.

Is this the effect of investing points in appearance?

No, actually, it's probably because it's harder to find a healer, but I still feel good because I got the number.

But you still shouldn't be mistaken; Lee Hyun-ah has a boyfriend.

Even before we met, she had been subtly mentioning her boyfriend, and when I met her today, she was blatantly wearing a couple ring.

It probably means something like, "Don't make unnecessary mistakes and don't accumulate things recklessly."

So today I tried my best to be as impenetrable as possible, and I think it worked.

After the raid was over, I noticed that her guard had been greatly reduced.

And actually, there was no time to worry.

Just go into the dungeon, kill monsters, pick up magic stones, and that's it! Wasn't that it?

What was there to worry about so much? I had to learn each and every entry and retreat timing, and I had to memorize each monster's weaknesses.

There were more things to know about the equipment rental fee and the magic stone collector than I thought.

I wonder if I was too complacent, believing only the rumors floating around on the Internet.

Still, I learned the minimum I needed to know by taking private lessons from Lee Hyun-ah.

I was worried that people might misunderstand that I was working on it, but fortunately, Hyunah Lee readily agreed and taught me everything I needed to know in detail.

He seemed like a tough guy before we met, but when we actually met, he was a nice person.

There are people like that. People whose speech style changes online. Maybe Hyuna Lee is one of those people.

Anyway, thanks to Lee Hyun-ah, I was able to safely complete my first dungeon raid, receive Hunter attribute lessons, and make plans for future parties.

It was a positive day in many ways.
