Chapter 113 – One More Woman?
Kim Yeon-woo, who held the tablet in his hand, looked worried about something.
It seemed to her that confirming that I was capable was a complicated thought for her.
Then she suddenly said “Ugh!” Made a noise.
All she touched was her own wrist.
She was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, and her wrists were slightly exposed, revealing traces of her back.
It looked like a tattoo or a burn mark, but I immediately recognized it.
Perhaps it was the mark of her toxicity that caused her to quit her hunter job.
If the poison penetrated deep into the organs, it would come out in some way.
Perhaps it’s not just the wrists that have scars.
I watched carefully and she covered her own wrist with her quicksand.
As she started typing something on her tablet again, something of hers appeared before her eyes.
【Side quest has been created.】
[Side quests are not compulsory and there is no penalty.]
【It won’t have a decisive impact on your future, but it will help if you still achieve it.】
================================
Goal: cure Kim Yeon-woo.
Deadline: 24 hours from the date of accepting the quest
Difficulty: C
Success Reward: Kim Yeon-woo’s affinity +30%
Failure Penalty:-
================================
‘Side Quest…?’
The names of the quests were varied.
It was to the point of doubting whether it was decided on the spot according to the nature.
‘I don’t necessarily have to attack.’
He said that there was no penalty and that it did not have a decisive impact on the future.
The most notable was the reward obtained by completing this quest.
Kim Yeon-woo’s liking.
Her likeability rating rose slightly during the test to 50 percent.
If this quest is accomplished, it means that it will increase by 30% to 80%.
Of course, it would be nice to have such a favorable impression.
Because she was the professor in charge of Class C.
Although I rarely see her face and I have only seen her for the first time in ten days.
There was no way for me to directly communicate with Kim Ga-hee and other important people in this academy.
I wondered if my life in the academy would fundamentally change if Kim Yeon-woo was on my side.
No, it was definitely meant to be.
“It’s great, but.”
Kim Yeon-woo told me as if he had come to a conclusion.
“It’s not to the extent of changing classes. Let’s test again in a month. Even then, I’ll report any impressive progress and recommend class transfers.”
One month later…
From Hunter’s growth perspective, a month was a short time.
It means that it is very difficult to achieve something or change something in one month.
But in my case, one month was more than enough time for growth.
Because during the two weeks after I returned, my stats increased tremendously and I gained a lot of skills and special abilities.
I was also looking forward to seeing how much I would have grown in a month.
But maybe I wouldn’t have to wait a month.
If Yeonwoo Kim was on my side, it would be faster to report me to the dean or recommend a class transfer.
“Professor.”
“Huh?”
“It’s a presumptuous statement, but I have something to say.”
“What?”
“Wound on the wrist…”
When I mentioned her scars, Kim Yeon-woo furrowed her eyebrows.
“This is none of the student’s business!”
Seeing him say it firmly, I could see that he was also very sensitive to it.
“Isn’t that a symptom of addiction? We know that this happens when exposed to strong poison.”
“What? How can I…”
“A friend of mine is a poisoner with great skills. So, I learned a little bit over his shoulder. If you don’t mind, can I take a look?”
This push could backfire.
However, the time given to complete the quest was only 24 hours.
After a day, the opportunity to raise Kim Yeon-woo’s favorability will disappear, but it was necessary to try it with the thought that it would be worth it to lose.
“What are you going to do when you see this?”
Kim Yeon-woo had a displeased expression.
When this happened, I had no choice but to go out strong.
I thought it would be fine if I didn’t stop even if I did something like class transfer anyway.
So whether or not this quest was accomplished didn’t matter too much.
Anyway, if it was only 50% likeability, there was nothing too heartbreaking even if it fell further.
“My acquaintance… An S-class poisoner.”
“What?”
Kim Yeon-woo’s eyes widened.
“But due to circumstances, I don’t do any outside activities at all. So, I want the professor to keep it a secret too. If the professor wants it, he’s an acquaintance of mine, and I’ll ask him to look at the professor’s wounds. Maybe you can look forward to it. Many times I have seen her cure even the more severe symptoms of addiction with ease.”
It was a lie that she had seen it many times.
I’ve only seen Kim Hae-na fix Park Jung-gyun once.
“That…”
Kim Yeon-woo looked at me with a hesitant gaze.
I looked into her information window with the ‘Scouter’ ability.
It was then that his state of mind changed.
-I can’t trust this guy, but she still thinks it’s worth it if she loses it.
An S-class hunter was not something you could easily see on the street.
Doesn’t the academy’s dean, Kim Ga-hee, also have a tremendous social status?
It was clear that even Kim Yeon-woo, who was confident in front of me, would shrink in front of her.
So it was understandable that Kim Yeon-woo did not believe me.
However, she would have made a lot of effort to fix her addiction, and would have tried anything with a feeling of grabbing at least a straw.
In such a yard, what else is there to disbelieve that there is an S-class poisoner?
Moreover, I was just a student in Class C who transferred from the university.
He wasn’t a threat, and he had no reason to lie to himself.
I bowed my head in front of Kim Yeon-woo, who seemed to be still in trouble.
“I can’t help it if you don’t believe me, thanks for testing today.”
As I tried to turn my back, Kim Yeon-woo shouted.
“Okay!”
She held out her own arm.
He rolled up her sleeves to reveal the tattoo-like scars that had been revealed earlier.
I’m not a poisoner, so even looking at the wounds, I couldn’t tell the details.
I just remembered and compared the symptoms that I had been poisoned in my previous life and that of other hunters.
None of them resembled Kim Yeon-woo’s wounds.
Perhaps he was poisoned by such a powerful poison.
“I will talk to my acquaintances. Do you have time today?”
“Today?”
“Yes, an acquaintance of mine who is a poisoner is leaving for a foreign country tomorrow. If not today, you may not have a chance to heal.”
“Ah…”
Kim Yeon-woo made a troubled expression.
“Today is a bit…”
Then he made a decision and said.
“Okay. See you in front of the academy after lunch.”
“All right.”
It was a good decision.
No matter what the odds are, shouldn’t we try anything if there is a possibility of a cure?
After making an appointment with Kim Yeon-woo, as always, I reserved a training room and spent the morning in it.
Thanks to intensive practice of ‘flame shot’ and ‘fire arrows’, I have been able to use them quite naturally.
#
“Hello.”
Kim Yeon-woo was in front of the academy first.
I was just about to eat her meal because I didn’t expect her to come out this early.
“Did you have lunch?”
“Yeah, roughly.”
Seeing Kim Yeon-woo outside the academy had a different feeling.
It gives off a fresh vibe, perhaps because of the blonde dyed hair.
Even if the expression is a little fierce, that part reminds me of a tsundere character, so would you say it has a personality?
Of course, I would get angry if I said this to myself.
Before lunch, I called Gimhae and informed her of her situation.
She had been oversleeping, and although she replied that she knew, she doubted she got it right.
Anyway, it was a voice that welcomed me to go.
“Let’s go get in my car.”
Kim Yeon-woo took me to the parking lot.
Her car was a foreign sports car, like the well-mannered hunters.
She got into her car with her and went to Haena Kim’s house.
#
“Whoa!”
Toto came running with terrifying momentum as usual today when his guest appeared.
Kim Yeon-woo, who saw the hybrid dog, was frightened.
It was she who unknowingly took her sword out of her inventory.
Because I did the same thing yesterday, I could understand her feelings well.
“Toto!”
Toto ran up to me, who was familiar with him, and waggled his tail.
Immediately, one side of my face was stained with his saliva.
The more you look at it, the more affectionate the dog becomes.
While I was stroking the guy’s back, Kim Hae-na came out from inside.
She was the one wearing a different colored one-piece dress today.
I looked at the blonde girl with me and she crossed her arms and said cynically.
“Has there been one more woman?”
