Chapter 93 – There Are No Bad Traits in the World (2)
There is one reason to be sure of my claim.
That you have experienced these characteristics firsthand.
Once upon a time, a very interesting child came to the guild.
They recklessly came to the guild building and said something.
That he would allow himself to be made a guild member of this shabby guild.
He was well over 15 years old, but he was a child who couldn’t get out of the second grade in middle school.
But apart from that, it has a very rare characteristic.
Was the attribute name ‘Tyrant’s Gaze’?
It was a characteristic that instilled a strong sense of intimidation to those who looked at it with their eyes and restricted their actions.
This child had the same problem as Elena.
Contrary to the expectation that putting restrictions on the actions of the enemies would make it easier for them, they put restrictions on all of them, both allies and enemies.
When the executives said that they couldn’t use it like that, let’s send it out, I thought differently.
A characteristic is a superpower that can evolve as much as you want depending on how much effort you put in.
If so, I wondered if it would be possible to identify peers through training.
So I trained with him for 6 months… , It didn’t work
Through personal training with me, my basic skill and basic abilities became unrecognizable, and my characteristics became stronger based on my increased abilities, but it was still impossible to distinguish between friends and family.
I thought about what the problem was for a long time, but he said he would stop first.
If you’ve made it this far, there’s no hope.
I couldn’t help but say to give up when I saw the guy who was seriously ill in his second year of middle school and living believing that he was a tyrant in his previous life, weakly lowering his head.
So he said he would never give up, whether it took a year or two… , Then a funny thing happened.
From that day on, only I was free from any restrictions in his gaze.
The feeling just came.
Oh, I guess this wasn’t a problem with characteristics.
“So you mean… , Is it because Elena sees us all as enemies?”
“Right.”
In the far-away foreign land she came to earn her money, she went through so many trials.
From the trouble with her language, to the nasty bastards who seduce her for her appearance, to her con artists who try to trick her.
They say they can understand each other to some extent now, but in the past, even that would have been impossible, so they couldn’t let go of the feeling of being alone.
As a result, she naturally isolated herself even more, and her distrust of others must have been deeply embedded.
That was naturally reflected in their characteristics, and they recognized everyone as enemies.
“Actually, it’s not her fault… , I guess it’s because of her ugly guys trying to take advantage of her.”
The atmosphere at the table instantly became solemn.
Their sympathy for Elena, who is suffering from living away from home, softened their hearts.
Elena smiled bitterly and shook her head.
“Do-jin’s words are correct…. I, man, am terrified.”
She struggled with her words.
“We have a lot of houses and families. I have five younger siblings and seven parents in total.”
A self-deprecating smile formed on Elena’s lips.
“My family is always hungry. So I came. To study and to earn money.”
European academies with strong military tendencies have severe restrictions on individual activities.
Making money in a situation where you can’t even go out freely is absurd.
To Elena, who wanted to become an excellent hunter and earn money right away, Korea must have been considered a land of opportunity.
“However, Korea was different from what I expected. No, I was too stupid.”
Elena must have realized too late why she said she was an idiot.
She knew that she was so full of her dreams that she couldn’t face reality.
She forgot the fact that she had to adapt alone in a very different place even though the language and lifestyle were different.
“I met a lot of bad people. Therefore… , It’s hard to trust people.”
The expression on Elena’s face as she struggled to lift her head was truly miserable.
“If Dojin’s words are true… , My problem, may not be fixed.”
It is because she herself knows that she is wearing her sad expression.
It is not easy to trust people in the current state of affairs.
She needs time to rehabilitate in order for her to trust people with her many scars in her arms.
A time to surround yourself with good people and build trust and bonds with them.
“Elena is right. It won’t be easy in the current state.”
“Then what should I do… ?”
Im Na-eun asked in a worried tone.
The facial expressions of the other two were similar.
She doesn’t say anything, but it seems she’s reluctant to leave her as she is.
If I have come this far, I have already achieved 90% of my goal.
Anyway, it made her accept her, so she said.
“It is difficult to change Elena’s perception of people suffering from mistrust in a short period of time. However, by using expedients, we can change some of them, our level of perception.”
“How?”
The eyes of the four women, including Elena, are focused on me.
Changing her perception is difficult, but also easy.
To be precise, it means that the level of difficulty changes rapidly depending on how much and how you try to change.
In order to last a very long time, it is better to hold the ground very firmly even if it takes time.
When I say here, I mean building a very deep trust and bond between us.
But trust and bond are what let us be close to each other! Will it accumulate by doing it?
It deepens as we spend time together, so it’s hard right now.
“It changes the perception that Elena has of being us.”
Fortunately, Elena had only one place to dig into.
It is none other than the reason why she came to her foreign country and forcibly adapted to her life.
“An existence that brings certain benefits to Elena.”
This is the position we can realistically take right now.

How can you tell the difference between an enemy and an ally?
The answers here are innumerable.
But what is the simplest and easiest way?
Isn’t it a way to judge whether it gives me a benefit or a thread?
If it brings me an advantage, I’m an ally, and if it brings me a loss, I’m an enemy.
The problem is that the relationship can be very shallow because it is only calculated in terms of profit and loss.
That’s what you need to gradually add to the thickness with other things.
He also thought of redefining his relationship with Elena in this way.
All she needs right now is money.
Then what if we become the target of financial gain?
“That’s why we have to clear this dungeon, these words.”
The place where the team members gather and give a speech is none other than a dungeon in Dongdaemun-gu.
This is a C grade difficulty dungeon.
The name of the dungeon is ‘Ant Cave’.
As you know by just hearing the name, there are small and precious ants.
Among the C-class dungeons, it is a place where you can make a lot of money.
This is because the shells of the ants shown here are quite hard, so if you go through simple work, it becomes a usable armor material.
It is easy to handle, so it is a favorite material for novice blacksmiths, so it is in high demand and is perfect for making money.
It makes Elena earn a lot, and I chose this because we all want to earn well.
“What’s wrong with everyone’s expression?”
The facial expressions of the team members who came out of the dressing room wearing equipment were not very good.
It’s Saturday and I can’t even rest, so I’m not in a good mood.
“Do, Dojin-ah.”
Im Na-eun, who was trembling with her white face, spoke to me.
“Uh, can’t we go to another dungeon?”
“Why?”
“Why, why! This is an ant nest! Infested with huge ants!”
Despite the high profitability, ant nests are not very popular dungeons among hunters.
Especially among female hunters.
Because the size of the ants shown here is the size of their lower body.
They even run in droves.
About ten to twenty birds per flock?
“Hey, you bastard!”
Shin Yoo-jung, who was standing on her leg with a grim expression, suddenly rushed at me and grabbed me by the collar.
“I thought you looked for a suitable dungeon, but you picked an anthill?!”
“What, do you hate ants too?”
“You say that!”
This is a little surprising.
I don’t think he was afraid of insects.
Seoyeon’s expression as she sat still and watched the situation did not look very good either.
I don’t have to say it, but I feel like I’m nervous about something.
Everyone was in a half panic, but Elena was the only one who was calm.
“Dojin, do you make good money here?”
“Right. It’s probably in the Top 3 of where we can go at our level, maybe.”
“Huh… ! Is that so.”
Elena snorts and gets up.
What.
Her eyes are weird
“Then Let’s go… ! I make a lot of money here!”
Is it my imagination that the eyes changed to dollar signs?
