Chapter 210 – The First Experiment (2)
Around the time when he was dozing off in a chair while holding Seoyeon’s hand.
A loud noise is heard outside the infirmary.
“Yeon-ah Seo!”
A familiar voice that resounds loudly hits the back of the head.
Someone said they were sending another guardian… , There was a main character, really.
“Seoyeon… !”
With the sound of heels hitting, Juyeon’s round eyes come to me and alternately look at Seoyeon and then stare at the hand she’s holding tightly.
A man sitting holding the hand of a sick woman lying down.
I ended up showing a scene that anyone could misunderstand.
… I hope I won’t misunderstand you.
He smiles awkwardly and greets Jooyeon.
“Hello… ?”
“Uh, yes, yes.”
After finally removing her eyes from her hands, Jooyeon’s gaze turns to me.
Her eyes, beautifully bent in the shape of a half moon, clearly show her happiness.
“I’ve been doing well… Do you think?”
“Yes? Ah… , Yes, it is.”
What is this change ball?
“Has the teacher been well?”
“Whoops… , Well? Maybe I’m doing well, maybe I’m not… ?”
Words pouring in that make it difficult to get lost.
Every time he speaks, his expression changes so quickly that it’s hard to tell whether he’s serious or lying.
Did he have such an expressive expression… ?
“Anyway, how did Seoyeon collapse?”
“Ah, that…”
He recited to her the words he had just heard from the doctor, without adding or subtracting.
“I see…”
Han Joo-yeon looked down at her in a pitiful way, as if he had guessed something.
Perhaps she knows too.
Before leaving for America, the lead role was the person who played with Seo-yeon the most and slept with her, excluding her mother and father.
“Actually… , Because of Seo-yeon’s childhood trauma, she hates being alone in the dark.”
“Ah… , Is that so.”
“Huh. I thought I had already overcome everything, but it seems I wasn’t.”
Joon-Yeon pulls a chair next to the other bed and sits on it.
“How hard it must have been, our Seoyeon…”
A soft light began to emanate from her hand stroking her hair.
At the same time, the magic around them turns white and seeps into Seo-yeon through her hands.
Whenever that happens, Seo-yeon’s magical power, which had been stabilizing at a slow pace, quickly returns to its original flow.
“… It has grown again.”
It seems that Juyeon’s healing ability has grown even more.
He used to be an A-class healer, which is hard to see in the healing world, but now I wonder if he’s really on the verge of becoming an S-rank.
If he rises to the S rank, Korea will be turned upside down.
For the first time in the world, two S-class hunters are produced from the same family at the same time.
“Whew!”
With a short sigh, the magic of pure white light is captured.
“Get a good night’s sleep now and you’ll be fine when you wake up.”
“Thank god.”
“However…”
Her gaze is directed downward.
To be precise, towards the hands of me and Seo-yeon, who were still holding on tight.
Rather than be misunderstood, let’s hit the ball.
“Ah! Do not misunderstand. Seoyeon sunbaenim asked me to hold her hand as she kept looking for my father, my father, and I caught her.”
When the thief hurriedly makes excuses as if his feet were numb, a strange smile is drawn on her lips.
Han Joo-yeon slowly shook her head.
“Okay, don’t worry. Don’t get me wrong.”
“Then I’m glad…”
What is this awkwardness?
She heard what she wanted to hear, but it felt very strange.
“But you can let go now.”
“Uh…”
She reached out her hand and dropped her hand that was holding her hand.
If I did this, she would be whining for help again.
Contrary to such concerns, Seo-yeon is soundly asleep as if she did not even know that her hand had fallen.
“How about it, am I right?”
It seems that her healing from a little while ago paid off.
“Her hands are red from how tight she’s gripped.”
As if she couldn’t help it, as she held my hand, she raised her mana again.
“You don’t have to do that…”
“Are you okay. I do it because I want to do it. So, let’s stay like this for a moment, shall we?”
“… Yes.”
The light that shimmered in her clasped hands permeates into mine.
A cool feeling spreads across her palms as if she had been massaged by a professional.
A pleasant smile is built on her refreshing senses to the point that I wonder if she is addicted to it.
But that’s for a while.
The flowing magic power is cut off.
Now that her treatment is over, I take her hand away with a little regret.
“Sup… , Healing isn’t over yet.”
“… Yes?”
Weird.
Her magic flow has already stopped, but the treatment isn’t over… ?
“Right. Just a little bit more… , Yes, nice.”
“…”
With her eyes closed, a strange tickling sound is transmitted from her fingers pressing down on the palms of her hands.
“Bird, the condition of your palms is worse than I thought… Little bit more…”
I hope the treatment is right.

It’s already been 70 hours since the fourth test started.
In a situation where only the last two hours are left, dropouts are appearing in rapid succession.
“Sadly, the limit is not reached.”
I couldn’t eat for 72 hours, and I couldn’t sleep comfortably.
The thick darkness around them drives people crazy by losing their direction, and the traps and golems that pop out of nowhere make it impossible to let go of the tension.
As a result, the number of dropouts naturally increases.
Seriously, the number of dropouts that occurred within 20 hours must be more than the number of dropouts that occurred during the preceding 48 hours.
“I wish there were one or two people…”
Fortunately, except for Seoyeon, the other team members are holding up well so far.
It’s frustrating because I don’t know how far I’ve gone or what the current situation is like, but is there anything special?
I have no choice but to wait patiently and pray that I pass.
For two hours, I paced the entrance anxiously, as if I was waiting for a child sent on an errand.
Finally, there is only one minute left until the 72 hours when the exam ends.
1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds… , 58, 59, 60.
[Fourth exam ends.]
[Infinite respect to the candidates who ran through the darkness for 72 hours.]
[Applicants in the maze should follow the instructions of the supervisors to escape.]
Is it finally over
It was really long and long.
How bored I was waiting for the exam to be over for two days.
The door of the entrance, which had been firmly closed, opens, and beggar-like candidates begin to walk out one by one.
“I did it… !”
“Out!”
“Damn it, fuck it.”
Sadness, anger, joy.
The three emotions are mixed and fill the waiting room.
Not even that.
All of the aspirants who took this qualification exam can be seen as unlucky guys.
The test, which had been sealed for 10 years, was resumed when he took the exam.
“Shall we go soon?”
I head towards the entrance with water, a towel, and an energy bar that I prepared in advance.
I wave my hand at the scruffy face I see in the pouring crowd.
“Elena!”
She struggled to walk with her head bowed down, and she smiled broadly as she looked this way.
Guy.
You must be happy to see you after 3 days.
“Dojin!”
Elena runs over screaming my name.
“Water in hand, serve it quickly!”
“Uh, yes…”
It must have been the water, not me, that rejoiced.
What… , It can be
Because he and Elena hadn’t progressed beyond being members of a team yet.
Before long, another face walks out with difficulty.
“Naeun!”
“Do, Dojin-ah… !”
The guy who blushes as soon as he sees my face.
With her arms outstretched, she stands with her arms outstretched to hug the sprinter.
“Heeheein… !”
The guy in my arms whines as he ran.
“I thought I was going to die… !”
“You’ve been through a lot.”
“Sniff… , Paeng-!”
“…”
No, why are you blowing your nose all of a sudden on my clothes…
“Oh, sorry! Hehe…”
You’re cute, so I can’t even curse at you.
I wiped the mucus from my clothes with one of the wet towels I had brought.
How much dust did you eat inside, so your nose is black.
“Oh, there’s an oil well!”
By the time she had managed to wipe her runny nose away, Naeun waved her hand towards somewhere.
Shin Yoo-jung, trudging from afar, catches her eye.
The palms and knees of the equipment he is wearing are very black.
It’s obvious that he was crawling on the floor trying to get to safety.
The guy who trudged along while staring at us with wide eyes stretched out his hand.
“Water.”
When handed over the water bottle, Maparam gobbles up the 1L bottle as if blindfolded, then reaches out again.
“Energy bar.”
Peeling off the plastic of the energy bar and handing it to him, he shoved the long thing into his mouth in one shot.
Every time they had sex, they were so engrossed in fellatio, but that length of time seems to be nothing now.
Like an actor eating seaweed, one of the most popular scenes in popular movies in the past, the guy who was chewing on an energy bar pushes her face forward.
“Wipe it.”
“… Do you clean it yourself?”
“Oh, quickly.”
Did this suddenly have symptoms of infantile regression after being in the dark…
Without hesitation, he carefully wiped the dust covering her face with a wet towel.
I’ve been through a lot, so I’ll have to listen to it at least once.
After wiping her palms neatly, the pure white towel turned black.
“But what are you?”
The guy who has become clean in exchange for a towel with his life looks at me with a sullen expression.
“What?”
“… What are you doing waiting for us with such a bari-bari?”
“That’s what… , Because I passed the maze two days ago.”
The eyes of the three people, who had spread around the spot where I was standing, focused all at once.
“Did you go through that crazy maze?”
“And that in one day… ?”
“Mijin, have you stolen?”
Words you can hardly believe.
[From now on, we will announce the successful candidates.]
Just in time, the announcement of successful candidates follows.
A leaderboard appears on the beam projector projected on one wall of the waiting room.
[1st. Kim Do-jin (Class B)]
.
.
.
[252nd place. Shin Yoo-jeong (dropped out)]
.
.
.
[292nd place. Elena Mikhailova Dobreva (dropped out)]
.
.
.
[301st place. Im Na-eun (dropped out)]
“Omg.”
As soon as I saw the leaderboard, a sigh escaped my mouth.
My rank doesn’t matter.
I’m the only one who passed the maze, but of course I’m in first place.
I feel sorry for Elena and Im Na-eun’s elimination, but it’s not bad.
Rather, the 292nd and 301st ranks they received after only a year since they started learning about Hunters in earnest made them look forward to their future.
The problem is Shin Yoo-jung.
He is similar to the previous two.
“Ah…”
I’ve only been learning for a year now, and my talent is outstanding.
The ranking is also the highest among the three at 252nd.
If there is a problem, it is that the cutoff for those who pass the Hunter Qualification Test this quarter is only up to 251st.
In other words, it means that he missed the opportunity to become an E-class hunter right in front of his eyes.
“Aww, fuck!”
The angry curse of the guy whose anger stretches to the tip of his head resonates in the waiting room.
It doesn’t matter though.
It’s about that level of swearing in a country where music is already coming out here and there.
“Yoojung, it’s okay… ?”
“I’m very sorry, Yoojung…”
Elena and Lim Na-eun, who are less shocked, approach Shin Yoo-jung and comfort her by rubbing her shoulders.
I quietly took a step back and left the spot.
There are times when the consolation given by successful applicants feels more like deception than consolation.
It was when I was looking at the scenery outside through the window in the long hallway, hoping to wait a little while until the guy’s anger subsided and then go back.
Gying-
The smartphone in your pocket vibrates briefly and then stops.
It looks like a message has arrived.
I took out my smartphone and checked the message.
《Han Joo-hee: April 5th, Noon, Magic Tower》
Finally she bit her bait.
