Chapter 275 – Down Date (1)
Lunch hour.
All members gathered in the Hunjahwi club room.
Actually, it’s not today or tomorrow that all the people in the east gather and chat.
“Why did you ask to gather today?”
Today, it is meaningful that all members were convened with a clear purpose, not to kill surplus time.
For the first time since the club was founded, I stand in front of them as president, not as anything else.
“Come on, everyone pay attention.”
Lim Na-eun, whose eyes are shining brightly, ready to follow anything I say.
Son Seo-yeon shows a serious attitude and an attitude of respect for others.
Elena looks dazed and can’t read what she’s thinking.
From the naturally sharp eyes to the provocative feeling of Shin Yoo-jung.
Four pairs of eyes with different charms are directed in this direction.
“Uhm… , The reason I asked you to gather today is…”
“What. What kind of respectful words are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Phehe… , It’s awkward, Do-jin.”
“If it’s because of me, I can just relax…”
“I’m even sexier in shorts… , No, I think it’s better, huh!”
Starting with Shin Yoo-jung, four tackles poured in.
Okay.
Half words are good, this is it.
“The reason I asked you guys to gather is because of the upcoming 2nd Quarter Hunter Qualification Test.”
The four of them make mysterious faces as soon as they finish talking.
“Why is the second quarter all of a sudden?”
“… Weren’t we taking the second test in the fourth quarter?”
The number of times to take the qualification test given each year is twice.
Since I blew one of them in the first quarter, I must have planned to take the exam in the third quarter at the earliest and the fourth quarter at the latest.
But.
“Yeah, no. We will take the exam in the second quarter of this year.”
“Eh.”
“… It seems that Do-jin is determined to destroy Elena and Elena’s house.”
“Little… , Isn’t it early?”
“I agree!”
Everyone was skeptical except for Naeun Lim, who was ready to follow anything I said and agreed.
Well, I already expected this much.
“Come on, I’ll explain the reason from now on, so be quiet.”
The uproarious atmosphere subsides in an instant.
Taking advantage of that gap, I began to bring out the reasons I had prepared in advance, one by one.
“First of all, it’s because you all have the specs to pass the Hunter Qualification Test.”
Our party trained more than any other party in Korea University and set out to attack the dungeon.
“Elena and Yoojung have already become tankers in our school who won’t be outdone even when compared to the seniors.”
Shin Yoo-jung and Elena are training addicts that everyone knows, and Son Seo-yeon is also not easy.
“Senior Seoyeon, what… , If it wasn’t for the trauma in the last exam, I would have passed right away.”
Our Naeun… , I taught well.
If you make him learn magic with a reward he wants, he will practice until his magic power is exhausted.
He even fell into a state of magical exhaustion a few times and ended up in the infirmary.
If I hadn’t given orders not to overdo it, I would have collapsed several times more.
“My judgment is that there is no need to wait until the third or fourth quarter when the specs are already in place.”
Let’s put a period on the first reason, four people… , No, what appeared on the faces of the three people except Lim Na-eun was dubious.
I feel proud that I already have the specs, and I also doubt whether what I am saying is true.
Shin Yoo-jung asked as if she thought it was not enough to say anything yet.
“What is the second reason?”
The second is also very important.
Maybe even more important than the first.
“Second is… , It means that your current training is becoming inefficient.”
All four of them have reached the point where it is difficult to increase their abilities with simple training and a high-level dungeon that can be entered with a temporary license.
In this case, regardless of rank, it is better to quickly pass the qualification test, attack more diverse dungeons, and accumulate experience and abilities a hundred times or a thousand times better.
“Certainly, the rise in stats has been slow these days.”
“All Elena did was increase her stamina by 1 a month ago.”
“I think I’m like that too.”
“I am 15 days ago!”
Look at this.
Does it make sense that the abilities of kids who are still in the peak of their growth increase by 1 per month?
It’s all because of the lack of tension.
It’s easy to fall into mannerisms if you run around easy dungeons.
In fact, there are many guys who face a slump like that and wither before they even bloom.
Your expression is not bad.
After hearing the second reason, everyone seems to have changed their thoughts and are showing positive expressions.
Then Seoyeon Son asked.
“Is there a third?”
“Yes. Perhaps this is the most important.”
“What?”
The most important reason why guys should pass the Hunter Qualification Test as soon as possible.
“I’m bored doing hunter activities alone.”
Even if I’m bored, I’m too bored
This is really important.
How does loneliness affect humans so much?
Especially for Hunter.
Loneliness means not having reliable friends.
The anxiety and loneliness that comes from it means that you have to be very careful because it eats away at the hunter.
“…”
Why is everyone looking at me with an expression like ‘Am I crazy?’.

Saturday morning.
After getting ready to go out before the sun rises, standing in front of the mirror makes me laugh.
“A day like today is just like this.”
As I got this body, I thought I was throwing away Son Si-woo’s habits one by one.
Doesn’t it change that you wake up early in the morning to prepare for dungeon raid days?
“What… , Out of all the habits I have, it’s the least useful.”
Today is the very day.
The day we set out to raid the Class A dungeon with the Zodiac Guild.
With Juyeon’s right to decide, I accepted K’s designation request.
Actually, I thought a lot before that.
Knowing that they weren’t normal guys, I had to figure out if I could come back alive no matter what happened in the dungeon.
However, after knowing that Jooyeon was with her, all the worries disappeared in her head.
“If you have an S-class buffer, you can come back alive even in hell at least once.”
So she accepted the request in order to impress them a little more and build a proper relationship.
Why is there such a word?
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
It’s far better to keep them out of sight than to keep them out of sight.
That way, if anything happens, you can respond quickly.
Between a ball flying out of sight and a ball flying within sight, which ball is easier to catch?
“Whoa.”
Around the time when I was calmly breathing and meditating.
Gying-
A message has arrived on your smartphone.
《Han Joo-yeon: If you are ready, come out quickly! Noona is in front of your house now.”
“…”
I immediately raise my gaze and check the sky outside the window.
It’s just about the time when the dawn has just begun and the black sky is turning blue.
No matter how much dungeon raiding schedule is set, it’s time to fall asleep…
Why did he send messages like he was sure I was awake?
“… It’s strange.”
As the number of points of contact with Jooyeon increases, things that keep bothering me arise one by one.
How to say… , Not as big as a chin down your throat, and a bit annoying?
But since this keeps piling up, it feels like it has become so much that I can’t ignore it.
“What is it…”
I don’t know.
Maybe it’s because my sister-in-law, Joo-yeon, expresses her liking for me and actively rushes into it.
Or is there really some other reason?
“Let’s go out at once.”
Now is not the right time to ponder.
They’re waiting outside, but I’ll have to go out and meet them.
Clap
When I opened the door and looked down, there was Ju-yeon’s car that I saw when I was going down Haenam.
When I went straight out of the building and knocked on the window, the guy waved his hand as if he was waiting.
Following her gesture, I open the passenger’s door and climb on.
“Hello, Dojin. Good morning?”
“Yes… , I slept well, sir… , No, how did you know I was awake?”
I throw one of her questions to her, which had been stuck in her chest a little while ago.
“Uh, uh… ? That.”
A slightly puzzled expression.
However, he pretends nothing happened and continues talking.
“You were up very early in Haenam too!”
“… It was.”
“So I remembered. They say you’re the type to get up early when raiding dungeons.”
At the same time, she secretly shoots a greasy eye and continues her words.
“My sister… , I remember everything about Do-jin, and I try to remember.”
“Kuhm.”
She coughs at the sudden, embarrassing confession and hurriedly turns her head.
The atmosphere became tense and I couldn’t ask any more questions, but the question remained unanswered.
She says she figured out my habits in Haenam, but well.
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to bring out the words as if you’re sure with only that one thing.
I feel like I want to ask a little more question.
“Are we going straight to the dungeon?”
I decided not to.
Even if something bothers me a little, it’s because the main character itself gives off a harmless feeling.
What would you say to a child who looks at people with such a loving gaze with her eyes shining like that?
He’s even cursed because of me…
“I will eat it in the morning. And… , I have a place to stop by.”
“Where are you?”
“Hoho, you will know when you go. Shall we go then?”
“… Yes.”
