Chapter 117 – I’ll Only Take Care of You for a Week.
“I suggested the problem of moving your class.”
I understood what Yeonwoo Kim meant.
Because she told me yesterday
About moving to class B.
At that time, I said that it was impossible and that I would try again in a month.
The reason she changed her mind and suggested that she move to my class was, of course, because she had removed her own deadly poison from her system with my help.
It was a rather blatant help, but from her point of view, she must have wanted to do something, like a benefactor who changed her life.
However, Kim Yeon-woo continued with a dark face.
“I was rejected.”
Kim Yeon-woo looked apologetic, but I wasn’t too disappointed.
I already knew that the academy’s leadership was conservative.
Besides, they wanted to focus their academy’s capabilities on cotyledons who were likely to become a minority.
In fact, even if I went up from C class to B class, I wasn’t sure how much merit I would have.
Of course, it would be nice to be guided by good professors while competing with talented students, but I was different from normal hunters.
Above all, I was growing through a system that others did not have while carrying out quests.
In my previous life, if I had come from the academy I came from and received B-class education, I would have been very happy, but not now.
Growing up so slowly didn’t suit me now.
Waste of time for nothing.
It was better to practice new skills and special abilities as much as I wanted in the training room.
Not knowing what I was thinking, Kim Yeon-woo put on an apologetic expression.
“But don’t be discouraged. For the next week, I will be in charge of guiding you.”
This was more of a surprise to me than being allowed a class B transfer.
“Can you?”
Even though Kim Yeon-woo is the professor in charge of Class C, yesterday was the first time I ever saw her face.
If she hadn’t made a connection with curing the poison, it wouldn’t have been a month before I could see her face again.
Her position at her academy wasn’t going to be full-time C-class teacher.
But to invest a week in one student, I wondered if that was physically possible.
“I handed in my resignation today.”
Yeonwoo Kim said.
“A resignation letter?”
“Thanks to you and that young lady, the poison has been cured, so there is no reason to stay at the academy anymore. I want to go back to the field.”
Kim Yeon-woo smiled brightly.
“Although I am treated well enough here, I am better suited there. Besides, I’m not old enough to teach anyone yet.”
She was right.
Kim Yeon-woo is still in his 20s.
It was more suitable for him to showcase his skills on the field.
Besides, a person with as much skill as her would be highly regarded in any guild.
Even if she created her own guild, she would be able to do well enough.
“So I was given a one-week deadline. I intend to use that time only for you.”
This was really surprising to me.
And I felt that Kim Yeon-woo really wanted to help me.
Raising her likeability led to a favorable flow for me.
As the message said, receiving her guidance might not be decisive enough to influence my hunter life.
But I thought her personal guidance would be of great significance.
Because she had her own impressive special ability.
‘Sword Saint’
Her ‘Sword Saint’ special ability was level 1.
Still, it was this ability that allowed her to enter Gaon Academy at a young age and become her professor.
All of the best hunters who had mastered swordsmanship possessed this ability.
‘And I have a special ability free slot.’
Rewards obtained by completing sub-quests in the past.
The ‘special ability free slot’ remained unused.
If I received Kim Yeon-woo’s personal guidance and practiced her swordsmanship, there was a good chance that her special ability, which was highly likable, would transfer to me.
“Thank you.”
At my words, Kim Yeon-woo nodded her head.
“Let’s begin. Save time.”

‘What the hell is this…’
Lee Cheol-ki saw with his own eyes what had happened at his villa and gnashed his teeth.
Someone broke into this place.
It was highly likely that he was an expert, given that he had taken care to prevent the security device from working before entering.
So it didn’t even leave a trace.
He even discovered an underground facility here.
If the intruder was an ordinary thief, Lee Chul-gi would not have cared much.
The other spaces in this house aren’t that special compared to other houses.
But the basement is different.
It was safe to say that all the secrets he most wanted to hide were in this place.
What shocked him was that the intruder had even killed the monster he had created.
Looking at that alone, the intruder was not someone with mediocre skills.
And the corpses…
It was for a special ritual to bring women here to have group sex and then kill them.
Used to give power to monsters or create new monsters.
The other corpses were so damaged that they could not be recognized, but Park Da-in’s body was recognizable.
Perhaps the intruder identified her face.
If he took a picture of it and went out, it could be used as evidence of what he was doing here.
‘It won’t be easy, but.’
If you entered this place and even stole the underground facility, there was a high possibility that the infiltrator would be someone who knew you well.
Then he would know that National Assembly member Lee Nam-chul is his father.
Lee Nam-cheol was one of the most powerful members of the National Assembly today.
The opponent will not be able to give evidence without haste.
Isn’t that absurd?
Growing a monster underground, killing a woman and feeding the body to the monster.
A clumsy attempt would become a pointless laughing stock, and would rather lead to harm to oneself.
Still, Lee Chul-gi couldn’t just let this happen.
The surest way was to tell his father, Lee Nam-cheol, the truth.
But that’s an impossible option.
Because he had a promise to his father when he decided to hold a ceremony here.
He said he would take responsibility for everything that happened here.
Lee Nam-cheol was a cold-hearted person.
Even though he was a father, Lee Chul-ki knew that he was a man who would also throw away his family if need be.
“Fuck!”
He desperately shook his head.
‘Who is it…’
Who could have infiltrated and killed the monster with such neat skill?
Thinking about it, only one possibility came to mind.
Park Da-in.
This happened right after she lured her to this place and killed her.
I thought that maybe the person who broke into this place might be someone related to Park Da-in.
Once we came to a conclusion, that feeling became stronger.
He held his cell phone in his hand.
It wasn’t an official guild, but there was one organization he controlled.
They were all those who used the same ability as himself.
Crew members who learn skills from them and receive funding from them.
I was thinking of asking them to look into this.
I thought I would never leave him alone if his tail was caught.

I finished the first day of training from Kim Yeon-woo.
The practice continued all morning.
Through this training, I was greatly impressed with the possibility of simply having the special ability of ‘Sword Saint’.
Kim Yeon-woo was a better hunter than I thought.
In terms of her career alone, I’ve had a lot longer than her, but what to say?
The talent I had in the first place was different.
Although Kim Yeon-woo was a professor at Gaon Academy, it was clear that she herself had heard the voice of a genius long before.
I came to see the swordsmanship, which I thought I had already used skillfully in actual combat, from a different angle.
Today’s training was not enough to acquire special abilities, but he also had the ‘Steel Stamina’ skill to help with training, so he didn’t fret.
Kim Yeon-woo was also surprised while teaching me.
He said it was like a professional hunter who had been in the field for several years.
She gave her the best compliment she could give.
Today was the first time he had been guided by a professor since entering Gaon Academy.
Considering that other students are being educated by professors at the level of Kim Yeon-woo every day, I thought it was only natural that their future was bright.
It was safe to say that the students who graduated here would lead the future hunter world in Korea.
After having lunch inside the academy, I was on my way outside when Park Eun-ha called me.
– Sungkyu, what are you doing? Busy?
“No, I just came out of the academy. You?”
– I have something to worry about. I’d like to talk to you Would you like some coffee together?
“Yes, then.”
Although not a lot of physical time has passed since we last met, I have met a lot of new girls in the meantime.
To the extent that I feel sorry for not only Shin Hye-yeon but also Park Eun-ha.
Therefore, I hoped that if I saw Park Eun-ha’s face and drank coffee together, that feeling would be relieved.
However, when I met Park Eun-ha in real life, her expression was very dark.
“What’s going on?”
“Chief…”
As if Park Eun-ha was disturbed, she crossed her arms and said.
“The team leader was kicked out of the guild.”
“What?”
The team leader Park Eun-ha was talking about was, of course, Park Jung-gyun.
“Why?”
“They say they did something they shouldn’t have done, but they don’t give a specific reason. Doesn’t answer even when I call. I don’t know what the hell is going on.”
Perhaps I met Park Jeong-gyun more recently than Park Eun-ha.
Even looking back at the conversation I had at that time, I couldn’t understand this result.
I pondered why Park Jeong-gyun was kicked out of the guild.
Then a possibility raised its head.
