Chapter 507 – Childhood Friend (1)
Spring when all things come to life.
A new school year, a new semester, has begun with a little warmth seeping into the still slightly cold wind.
It’s already 3rd grade.
This is the time to pour the curriculum into practice based on what you learned in the first and second years.
However, it didn’t matter to me and other guild members.
We have already obtained hunter licenses and have participated in more than hundreds of battles.
Even the guild members’ hunter level is A level, the same level as before the professors retired as hunters.
In many ways, it means that we have long since left the university level.
Is that why?
Not long after practice-oriented classes began, I received a call from the vice dean.
“Early graduation, approved.”
The request for early graduation, which I requested earlier, has been officially approved.
It was a good thing.
Since there was no communication and no response, I thought I would take action.
“The students’ complaints were loud.”
“Wonseong… “You mean?”
“All the Twilight Guild members, including Kim Do-jin, are at the top and are as hard as concrete, so it has to be that way.”
“Aha…”
Certainly, the number of students gossiping about us has increased significantly recently.
Because of our presence, their grades dropped one level at a time, so they must have been dissatisfied in many ways.
And that dissatisfaction resulted in early graduation approval after completing the first semester.
“Anyway, since that’s the case, I hope you enjoy your remaining time at school.”
“Yes, I understand.”
I bow my head briefly and then leave the vice president’s office.
I have to go tell the kids.

After returning from participating in the Holy Order.
The Twilight Guild and its members have become the so-called star hunters that everyone recognizes.
Awareness was already growing rapidly, but now, if you go out with a bare face, the crowds are so thick that it’s difficult to move.
There are even crowds of reporters and fans volunteering to be fans outside the school.
Thanks to this, I am busy waving my hand every time I leave school after class.
Anyway.
When you build up this much recognition, there is one thing that inevitably comes.
It’s celebrity disease.
Isn’t there a saying like that?
If you become famous, people will applaud you even if you poop.
That’s actually true.
Of course, I can’t reveal that I pooped and ask for praise, but it’s true that no matter what I do, I have a strong support base that praises me for doing a good job and that it’s great.
As a result, most people who gain rapid popularity easily fall into a swamp of illusion.
Ah, I am such a great person!
I am a special being different from others!
As long as they are here, I can do anything!
… And he begins to struggle, drunk on the taste of mulberry that popularity brings.
Then, you end up focusing on what you can see, and you end up paying attention to what you can’t see.
In other words, most likely, you will neglect practice and your growth will stagnate.
I also went through that period.
About 3 months?
It took about that long for me to break away from going around thinking I was good.
If a person with high self-control and self-control like me gets caught, what would other guild members think?
“Look at this, can you see it? “The number of followers increased by 100,000 in just one day.”
“And…, It has increased a lot. “I also posted a photo yesterday, and hundreds of comments came up in no time.”
“Under…, It was so boring that I wanted to die. Elena, you have become so strong.”
Look.
Aren’t they already showing early symptoms of celebrity disease?
If you dig a little deeper here, it will take a long time to break free.
So, as a senior who has already gone through that path, I have to help them.
How?
“Run faster!”
It’s training.
With such extreme intensity that it prevents you from thinking about anything else.
“Anyone who catches up with me gets two more hours of training!”
“Aaaaah!”
“Fuck!”
“Ah, the devil is chasing me…” !”
We train so that discipline does not become lax, and engrave it in the minds of those who are tired.
“Do you really think you’ve become world-class just because you went to the church?! “You are nothing!”
Just like Father Son, who created a world-class player from a weak soccer country in the past.
Make them clearly aware of their current location.
“Now, in just three months, I will graduate from university. At that time, you will no longer be able to use the shield of being a student. Can you sleep with your skills?! If it were me, I wouldn’t come! “I’m embarrassed!”
A strong tone brings back the lost venom.
Guild members become agitated by a few words and soon become indignant.
The facial expressions are scary.
But, well, so what are we going to do?
“If you don’t believe what I say, come at me! Prove it with your skills. “If you hit me even once, I’ll do whatever you want, whether it’s kneeling or licking the soles of my feet!”
Set clear goals and motivate.
“I’ll do whatever you want, that’s it… !”
“Bah, the soles of your feet…” Lol…”
“Ew!”
Guild members boil over in an instant.
It makes those who rush in with only motivation fall away in an instant.
Until the sun goes down, again and again.
Lastly, I commend those who are completely exhausted and all they can do is gasp for breath.
“Good. Today’s training ends here. Everyone worked hard.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
There is no answer.
I understand.
You must be busy breathing.
The guys waited on the floor for a while, then managed to get up and disappear one by one.
Group training is over.
Now all that’s left is personal training.
“Yoon Si-hoo, you can still do it, right?”
“… Yes, senior!”
“Good.”
The tempering of Yoon Si-hoo, requested by the saint, begins.
A body that is not yet ripe.
“Isn’t it disappointing that I’m just that tired?”
Extremely immature swordsmanship.
“My pet slime can use a sword better than you!”
A person with high morale and an empty head that doesn’t know what to do.
“Are you just swinging it around ignorantly? Think, think!”
It touches everything from one to ten.
Around midnight, it was so close.
“That’s it for today.”
“Thanks… Bout…”
Before he could even finish his sentence, he grabbed the fallen body from the air.
“Wow.”
I don’t mind touching a guy’s body.
Is there anything else?
This is a request from our saint herself, so we must do it with sincerity.
He drags the sleeping boy, puts him in the backseat of the car, and takes the wheel.
The destination is a residential area near Sindang-dong.
As you enter, you see Jin Ha-rin standing in front of the black gate.
Park the car in front of it and go out.
“Even if you don’t come out first.”
“No. “I just came out too.”
It’s already been 10 days since we brought in the collapsed Yoon Si-hoo.
Since we arrive at almost the same time, it seems like it’s convenient to be on time now.
She asks, dressed in comfortable clothes, quite different from when she was at school.
“Shihu today too… ?”
“Well, that’s right.”
“It’s already been 10 days, and it’s still the same.”
Jin Ha-rin smiles bitterly.
For ten days, Yoon Si-hoo trained every single day and fell asleep.
In some ways, you may think that nothing has changed, but in reality, it is different.
“I’ve grown a lot in 10 days.”
“Uh…, Really? But why…”
I told the truth to my puzzled junior.
“Instead, we just increased the intensity of training as we grew.”
“Ah…”
If I felt I had adapted at all, I increased the training intensity.
That’s why I barely hold on every day, and after holding on, I collapse right away.
And it is growing at an incredible rate.
“Anyway, I’m sorry for bothering you every day.”
Surprised by her sudden apology, she shook her head and waved her hands.
“Oh, no. “I’m here because I want to.”
“If that’s the case, I’m glad.”
I stopped teasing my boyfriend, asking if he was that worried.
Because she sticks around so much, I often hear the same thing here and there.
Maybe that’s why she seems to be quite stressed.
There is no need for her to put her weight on it.
Open her back seat, take out the thing that was stuffed in her luggage and hand it to Jin Ha-rin.
Even though she looks delicate, she easily accepts Yoon Si-hoo, who is a head taller than her.
“Go in quickly. “If I have to go to class again tomorrow, I have to get some sleep.”
After saying that, it was time to turn around.
“… Hey, senior.”
Jin Ha-rin, who opened her mouth belatedly, called me over.
“Why?”
“Excuse me…, I have something to tell you, senior. “Can you give me a moment?”
“Uh…, To me?”
“Yes.”
What do you have to say to me this late at night?
I don’t usually have many contacts, so I can’t really think of anything.
When her curiosity piqued, and she nodded, she asked with her slightly brightened face.
“Can you please wait a moment? “I’ll leave you lying down in the room and come out right away.”
“Okay, then.”
A guy who walks up the stairs faster than usual.
Not long after, she came down again, leaving her luggage behind, and handed me something in her hand.
“Here, senior.”
It was juice.
When I saw that the color was red, it was a strawberry…, No, it’s a tomato.
“It’s night, so I thought juice would be better instead of coffee. “You don’t like tomatoes, right?”
“Why all this… I like tomato juice. “I’ll drink well.”
He opened the lid and drank the juice in front of her.
After emptying one bottle completely.
“So what do you want to say to me?”
“Ah…, That’s it.”
Jin Ha-rin mutters with an unusually awkward expression.
What on earth are you taking so long to say?
While she was worrying, she gathered courage and opened her mouth.
“Me too…, Can you please take a look?”
“Uh, um.”
What is it?
Have I just received a confession?
