chapter 26
With an anxious heart, she called Han Yoo-jeong’s name from afar and ran.
The eyes of strangers turned to me.
He passed them and stood in front of Han Yoo-jeong.
“who… ?”
When asked carefully, a girl the age of Han Yoo-jeong stepped forward and said:
“hello! Yoojung is my friend.”
“yes?”
“It’s Lee Ji-hye!”
Han Yoo-jung’s friend?
Frowning, Han Yoo-jeong carefully pulls the sleeve of her suit from behind.
As she nodded, I asked without knowing.
“Did you have any friends?”
“mister… … .”
Han Yoo-jung looks at me with a sad face.
Oops.
As I looked at the eyes of Lee Ji-hye and the man, I whispered softly as if making an excuse.
“No, because you don’t go to school… You never went out to meet friends.”
“I went to middle school.”
“ah. Are you a middle school friend?”
“… yes.”
Why is the answer so cool?
He doesn’t seem happy at all.
Lee Ji-hye said with a friendly smile.
“Yoojung and I are middle school classmates. I never thought I’d see you here. It was very unfortunate that school suddenly stopped and communication was cut off.”
Considering the time, it’s probably because of the celestial nature.
I opened my mouth, contemplating whether to speak rudely or respectfully.
“That was it. You seem to have been very close with Yoojung?”
it’s society
Seeing a man who looks like a manager is next to him, he seems like a promising prospect.
We didn’t meet in person through the introduction of Han Yoo-jung, but I have to write respectful words.
“yes. We were very close.”
Lee Ji-hye, who answered boldly, turns her head to Han Yu-jeong. A sullen smile hangs on his lips.
“Yoojung, are you awake too?”
“yes.”
“I think it’s great to see that there is also a manager. What ability?”
“… … .”
“Is it too sudden? sorry. Ah, the reason you suddenly cut off contact with me in middle school and disappeared was because of your awakening! Right?”
“no.”
“no? When did you wake up?”
“A month ago.”
Lee Ji-hye’s sweet smile turned into a sneer for a moment, then returned to its original state.
that i won It was a smile that expressed such emotions.
As for Han Yoo-jung’s dry reaction… .
Are you really friends?
How does it feel to watch a scene where Lee Ji-ah and Han Ye-rim are having a conversation?
It was such a cool atmosphere.
“Actually, I woke up right after you disappeared. But it looks like I’m more talented than I thought. After a year, I joined a mid-level guild and prepared a hunter.”
“okay? Good.”
“By the way, I prepared for a year, but within a month of waking up… … .”
After thinking for a moment, Lee Ji-hye laughs.
“I think I had a good experience this time, and try next time.”
“I will.”
“And would you like to take a look at this weapon? The guild applied for me to take the qualification test this time… … .”
Lee Ji-hye takes out her equipment and shows off to Han Yoo-jeong.
The bragging continued without stopping.
Han Yoo-jung crossed her arms with a look of annoyance. Lee Ji-hye’s voice became more active when she gave the tea she didn’t like.
I clicked my tongue when I saw the tail.
It was like that.
There must be one of these kids.
A person who likes to look down on others and brag about himself.
When you find out that a friend you haven’t seen in a long time is worse than you, you run wild like a fish in water.
What Han Yoo-jung was reluctant to understand now. From the moment we met face to face, I knew it was going to be like this.
– The first qualification test will be held soon. All students, please come to your seat.
An announcement appears.
Lee Ji-hye and Han Yu-jeong, who were chattering, stop the conversation and move on.
That’s right, I didn’t give you this.
“Yoo Jung-ah!”
Han Yoo-jung, who was walking, looked back.
He rummaged through the envelope and ran back and forth.
She quickly put bread and milk in her hands.
“I bought you something you usually liked. When you wake up in the morning, you eat a full meal, but you just came out to get ready to go out today.”
“… .”
“I’ll take care of it, but don’t be nervous. Remember what I said at the center before? I am not disappointed.”
“… yes.”
“Okay then.”
Han Yoo-jung nodded her head. Lee Ji-hye clings to her side and chatters.
As I went back to my seat, a man suddenly spoke to me. He is a man who was standing next to Lee Ji-hye like Jeong-seung.
“hello? It is the largest string of the Aksan Guild.”
“Ah yes. hello. Hyunwoo Kim.”
The man takes a business card from his pocket and handed it to him.
As I bowed my head, he was staring at me blankly.
I realized what it meant and made excuses by scratching the back of my head shyly.
“Ahaha… sorry. I don’t have a business card yet… … .”
“ah. Aren’t you the manager?”
“… The manager is right.”
the man laughs
My ears went red when I heard it. Sell your business cards first. I didn’t even think about it. What manager doesn’t have a business card?
“Then, where are you guilding?”
“yes?”
“It’s the guild name. You don’t have a business card.”
“… … .”
Han Ye-rim is making a guild today. Nothing has been decided yet. In the end, the name of the guild could not be answered.
I lick my lips and the man looks at me suspiciously.
“Are you going to do construction work on a child right now?”
“… … It’s not like that. The guild has not been formed yet.”
The man frowned and changed his attitude from what he just did. A disrespectful attitude that does not see them as the same manager.
Licking her dry lips, she pondered whether or not to speak.
If I tell you Lee Ji-ah’s name now, will that man’s attitude change?
Then I got disgusted with myself and quit.
병신새끼.
You don’t have anything to sell, so you’re trying to sell Lee Ji-ah’s name with something like this?
I pretended to be smart all by myself.
I remember getting up early in the morning to decorate so as not to be ignored.
To no avail.
He brushed his hair loosely with wax. He also took out his glasses and shoved them into his pocket.
I folded my arms and looked around.
Managers neatly decorated without effort. A relaxed attitude comes naturally. Most of them belonged to a large guild.
“haha.”
Just, suddenly, my appearance became ridiculous.
I realized it clearly through a conversation with a man.
After all, we were just newcomers in the hunter industry. It wasn’t the appearance of these things that showed me. The status of the guilds and hunters who supported me was important.
“… ?”
In the distance, among the students, Han Yu-jeong’s eyes met. staring blankly at me Why is that? looks unhappy
He forcibly raised the corners of his mouth and waved his hand.
Han Yoo-jeong, who had been standing there for a while, waved his hand awkwardly.
* * *
The Thousand Death Stars are reset on the basis of Monday.
From Monday to Saturday, as time goes by, her heart grows stronger, and on Sunday she loses control and explodes.
When he woke up, his hands were already covered with blood.
Fortunately, such a tragedy could have been prevented by Kim Hyun-woo’s ability. However, the spirit of living that could not be initialized with a counter-reward is further amplified. Next week’s Monday is stronger than last week’s Monday.
Today, it was Friday.
“Last time, the guild conducted a mock test on its own, and it was stable enough to make it into the rankings.”
Lee Ji-hye is proud. Han Yoo-jung ignored it and took control of her mind and body.
Ever since we got away from Kim Hyun-woo, a feeling of guilt has engulfed my whole body.
It’s not a wanted murder. because of the celestiality. knew it However, Han Yoo-jung could not be freed from guilt.
In the end, the subject was himself.
‘If I hadn’t… Could they have died?’
Kim Hyun-woo’s ability made him feel not only sane, but also his sense of guilt.
This was the reason why Han Yoo-jung did not want to leave Kim Hyun-woo’s side.
“There are three exams in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rounds, and for the 2nd exam, only those who pass the 1st exam will be notified of the test date later. The first test is a competition between test takers by catching monsters in a randomly separated field… … .”
The examiner explains with a strict face.
If you want to be a hunter, most of them know what they are, so everyone was bored listening.
In Han Yoo-jung’s eyes, Hyeon-woo’s face was clearly visible.
And even the conversation he had with the manager.
The reason why her shoulders are drooping like that and her face is wretched can be fully guessed.
Hyeonu waved his hand.
Han Yoo-jung awkwardly waved his hand.
“… … .”
Han Yoo-jeong opened the envelope and put the bread in her mouth. My throat is dry and I drank milk, but next to me, Lee Ji-hye laughs at me.
“Hey, your manager is not capable. I’m going into the exam, what’s bread and milk?”
“… … .”
“My manager took me to the hotel restaurant yesterday to do well in the qualification exam.”
My uncle bought me some meat. Dessert too.
Something rumbles from the throat. Han Yoo-jung bit her lip. She took a deep breath and controlled her mind.
The first adult I met in society was the president of the association. An old man full of desire to take advantage of a 16-year-old boy.
Therefore, Hyeonu was very contrasted with the president of the association.
Unlike the president of the association, who used only as a murder tool, Hyeonu treated Han Yoo-jung like a girl of her age.
-If it’s too hard… … So, it’s okay to give up halfway through.
He was a respectable adult. That’s what Han Yoo-jung thinks of Hyeonu.
So when Hyeon-woo was ignored by Lee Ji-hye and her manager, Han Yu-jeong’s first emotion was irritation.
Anyone would.
When someone close to him was ignored by someone he didn’t even know or knew, he could only get a fever inside.
Originally, it would have been that much.
“Isn’t your guild too much? What kind of rookie did you shove into the exam room, who woke up a month ago?”
For the past two months, the Celestial Castle has passed without being reset. The will to kill is constantly getting stronger. This week is better than last week.
As usual, he took care of his mind and body and did not show his emotions. In spite of such efforts, negative emotions procrastinate and try to burst out.
Violent thoughts filled my head.
“It’s only been a month since you woke up, so you may not know it well. There are a lot of ghost guilds working with innocent kids.”
Han Yoo-jung shoved the leftover bread into her mouth. She drank the milk, pounding her chest. A few drops of thin water drip from the milk carton that I drank.
Han Yoo-jeong, who stuck out her tongue and drank it all, grabbed the milk carton.
“I am compared to my manager too much. I can’t help it. Still, the place where I am is a middle-class guild.”
Still, I tried to be patient.
I’m trying to be patient, but I can’t stand it.
“Try to ask the guild to change the manager in charge. You’re in trouble, but you don’t feel good, what is bread? Would you like to buy some coffee?”
Han Yoo-jung has put a string in her heart.
A soft smirk bursts out. The students felt the chill and scratched the nape of their neck.
She called for Lee Ji-hye, who was talking like a horn.
“hey.”
“yes?”
Lee Ji-hye, who made eye contact with Han Yoo-jung, retreated without realizing it.
Under the bright light, Han Yu-jeong’s red eyes were burning like naturalization.
she murmured lowly.
“Before you rip your mouth out, shut up and be still. Don’t tweet next to me.”
In Han Yoo-jung’s eyes, the intent to kill fluttered.
The girl thought.
The reason why the emotions intensified for a moment is that it is a matter of slaughter.
In any case, it was all because of the celestial nature.
