Resurrected Immortal 1044

Chapter 1044 – (Side Story)22. A Witch’s First Love (19)

“What? That bastard…”

One exasperated adventurer tried to step forward, but his companions stopped him.
The opponent is a scion of a noble family who appears to have appropriate connections with the upper echelons of the adventurer guild.

If you make a fuss within the guild, appropriate disciplinary action will not end.

“No? Performance is piling up. So much so that I wouldn’t even dare to cross someone like you.”

“Hmm?”

The male student looked interested in Iliana’s reply.

“Okay? “If you maintain a good relationship with me, I can introduce you to adventurers who are so talented that they can’t even be compared to scum like that.”

“…”

“Think about it carefully. “It’s not such a bad story for someone who wants to graduate at the top of their class, right?”

I tapped her shoulder while letting out an unpleasant laugh.

“Get your dirty hands off.”

Illyana slapped her boy’s hand away.
The male student passed by Iliana while letting out a bitter laugh.

“Haha. Then do your best. “I want to see where I can build that track record.”

“…”

At that moment, something suddenly occurred to her, and she turned her head, but the male student had already left the adventurer’s guild with his father.

“What’s wrong?”

“… “That bastard.”

“What?”

“The person who fucked me by not attending the last group assignment even once.”

Illyana before going on an expedition to the snowy mountain.

She recalled the last group assignment at the Magic Tower.
Now that I think about it, the intention is so blatant.

He was a twisted person who was obsessed with disparaging his own grades, ridiculing him, and ridiculing him.

If that’s the case, then from the beginning, the plan would have been to intentionally ruin the scores from the group assignments and make up for the missing credits based on performance through this external evaluation.

In other words, it is highly likely that she received the external evaluation plan schedule from another professor with whom she had connections and put it into practice.

“Hmm, then…”

As soon as Eunhyun heard Iliana’s story, he looked toward her reception desk.
The receptionist trembled at the sight, but carefully avoided eye contact, perhaps because she felt burdened.

Even though the guild boss who greeted them in the reception room read the atmosphere here, he looked the other way and seemed not to care about this place.

After understanding the series of flows and atmosphere, Eunhyeon noticed the current situation.

“This situation is probably because of that guy.”

“… “What?”

Illyana looked at Eunhyeon in surprise.

Eunhyeon explained in detail.

“Maybe that’s why the frost giant’s subjugation performance is not recognized. “It could be because of that guy.”

“How is that possible?”

“What that guy just said. It’s as if you’re talking on the premise that you won’t be able to accumulate any achievements in the Adventurer’s Guild. And I saw the man over there, who seemed to be his boss, groveling and coming out of the reception room together.”

“…”

It may seem like a ploy to simply make money and get results that are easy to build by using connections, but it didn’t look like a man who showed such blatant hostility would end up at this point.

“That bastard. Obsession is no joke. “I think I like you?”

“What?”

Illyana frowned.

I heard such a bad sound that I felt sick and sick to my stomach.

It’s a story I’ve never thought about, or rather, I don’t even want to think about, but I want to even assume it’s a possibility.

“Don’t say nonsense.”

“It doesn’t make that much sense. He has considerable talent as a wizard, and he also has a pretty face. “If you make up your mind and put your mind to it, I think there will be more than one man who will fall for you.”

“…”

“Why?”

“… No. That’s enough.”

Illyana stared blankly at Eunhyeon, who was spouting off her ridiculous words so confidently.
Then why on earth don’t you come over?

The feeling of wanting to say it almost rose all the way up her throat, but she managed to hold it back.
Suddenly, Illyana felt that she was such a fool for thinking like this.

“Going back to the story, what tricks did that bastard pull aside besides taking care of his own performance?”

“It’s simple. I think it was something like, ‘Please let me be at a disadvantage.'”

The request and completion process itself, which is connected to the adventurers’ livelihood, is not complicated enough to find fault with, so it is not something that can be tampered with in any way.

However, the performance of subjugating the frost giants of this snowy mountain is different.

Even if you report that you have subdued a demonic beast without any witness information or testimony, let alone a subjugation request, how can you prove it when you have no means or physical evidence to prove it?

“Actually, I’m not complaining about something that doesn’t make sense. It’s a matter of flexibility.”

If you inquire with the adventurer’s guild near the Kurdel Mountains, this can be proven by investigating the ecological changes in the snowy mountains and the completely frozen lake.

The problem is that if all principles are followed and procedures are followed, it takes quite a long time for the performance of the subjugation to be recognized.

“The adventurers who went on the expedition together may be offended, but they cannot complain openly. “Because this is basically what we do.”

“What… That’s true.”

The adventurers who were with us also scratched their heads as if this was an undeniable fact.

In fact, this is not the only case of subjugation missions where the proper loot cannot be recovered.

Each time, the process of proving it by comparing the adventurer’s report with the sightings and testimonies of the area was complicated.

Therefore, in the case of adventurer guilds that were heavily overloaded with work, there were many cases where adventurers with solid credibility trusted their reports and took care of their subjugation results.

In other words, it may take time, but as long as the subjugation is actually completed, it is rare for adventurers to not be recognized for their achievements at all.

The problem here was Illyana.

She has an immediate external evaluation deadline set, so if her subjugation performance is not recognized within that deadline, it means nothing.

As long as the performance of subjugating the Yeti Beast is acknowledged after the external evaluation deadline is over, there will be no problem with the Adventurer’s Guild’s procedures.

It was blatant, malicious harassment that only Illyana suffered.

“Wow, that bastard. You’re a terrible bastard…”

Even the adventurers were speechless at that malicious method.

The Magic Tower seen from the guild is a place where all the genius wizards on the continent come together in admiration, and a place where enormous wealth is concentrated.

That was the perception of the adventurers.

However, looking at the reality inside, it is no different from the rotten human society.

“To this extent…”

Illyana clenched her hands and trembled.
She wants to pour out her magic on the bastards who stand in her way until the end, but she is so resentful and angry that she can’t.
After going through such hardships, she returned to the Magic Tower, but there was nothing left in her hands.
It wasn’t an easy choice for her to eat the ice cap she was aiming for.
However, she has no regrets.
It was clear that she had gained from that experience, and she felt proud of the accomplishment.
But she felt at a loss as to what to do next.
If Eunhyeon’s words are true, it is doubtful whether even the Jeonggong method of accumulating achievements in the Adventurer’s Guild will be properly recognized.

“Ha…”

Illyana sighed without realizing it.

She felt fundamentally helpless and couldn’t help but think about what she had been doing all this time.
Her entire body loses strength and at the same time, it is filled with a sense of helplessness and despondency.
She evaluates a wizard’s capabilities using her social status, power, or wealth, not her talent and capabilities.
Once again she felt like she had been denied the life she had studied magic.
Her fists are shaking as if she is suppressing her angry feelings.

“Hmm. “You can’t help what happened in the past.”

“What… ?”

It was a car where I was suppressing my anger and forcing myself to control my emotions.

Illyana asked back while listening to Eunhyeon.

“Now, what… Did you do it?”

“They said that what happened in the past can’t be helped.”

“How can you say something like that because it’s someone else’s business…” !”

Illyana felt a great sense of betrayal.

Of course, it was only a short time of about two months, but I guess it was because we experienced a lot together during that time.
Is it because she had special feelings for him?

Her sense of betrayal felt even greater.

“Are you going to give up here?”

“…”

Illyana was at a loss for words for a moment.

She was saying this to leave room for herself, as if she still had a way left.
A question that implies that as long as you don’t give up, there is a way.

Illyana regained her sorrow and spoke.

“Of course not.”

“Then we should continue.”

Eunhyeon burst out laughing and held her hand.

“If you just follow along, I will make you number one.”

“…”

How?

He had a question, but Illyana quietly stood up following his lead.

Although the story has no basis, she is nevertheless drawn to his words and actions.
She couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of herself following a man she had only been with for about two months without any doubt or hesitation.

But his hand was so warm and trustworthy that she held his hand.

“Well, I’m sorry for breaking the mood, but… Our contract ended at this point.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Thank you.”

She had no choice but to break up with the adventurers.
Although she felt great gratitude to Eunhyeon and developed a strong bond with her over the course of nearly two months, it was difficult to go on consecutive expeditions.
Rather, it is surprising that Eunhyun and Illyana plan their next activities right away without taking time to prepare.

Although it was regrettable to part ways due to practical issues, Illyana accepted the separation from her adventurers.
She was surprised that she could accept the presence of a stranger like this.
When only the two of them were left, Illyana asked Eunhyeon.

“What are we going to do next?”

“Let’s make a subjugation request.”

“Request for subjugation? Why?”

Illyana tilted her head.
If she takes the time to come up with complicated procedures based on the principles mentioned earlier, it will be difficult for Illyana to achieve proper results.
Nevertheless, why does she suggest proceeding with the subjugation request?

“Because there is nothing that makes it easier to accept a request and complete it as quickly as that.”

“But in the case of the Yeti…”

“That’s because we weren’t able to obtain any loot to prove our subjugation. “When she thought about that, she wasn’t the type of person to fight.”

In other words, as long as she takes the loot to clearly prove that she conquered it, the Adventurer’s Guild will not be able to find fault with it.

“Then do we have to form a party again with more people?”

“Hmm, it doesn’t matter either way…”

Since each had pros and cons, there was room for concern.

If there are only two people working together, the distribution can be split evenly, and as the number of people is small, the restrictions on action are reduced.

If you operate in large numbers, the stability of your activities increases as your power increases.

“Oh. Eunhyeon?”

“Hmm?”

A woman found Eunhyeon and called his name.

Eunhyeon immediately remembered the face of the woman who called her and greeted her.

While working as a guide, she was a female swordsman with whom he dated several times.

“Are you looking for a subjugation request? If it’s okay with you…”

Auditor Yeo approached Eunhyeon with a smile in her eyes.

“It’s okay. Let’s do it together.”

Illyana smiled warmly and mercilessly interrupted the female swordsman who was inviting her to join the party.
