Chapter 70 Saint vs Sword Saint

The Sword Saint Society and The Order.

Actually, everyone in the hunter industry knows that these two guilds have a very bad relationship.
No… it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it goes beyond bad to almost hostile.

At a glance, they’re in a relationship where they try to tear each other apart, existing to thoroughly eliminate the other.

Their relationship is like that of mortal enemies who killed each other’s parents, truly trying to kill each other when they meet.

They absolutely cannot tolerate each other’s existence. They’re women who won’t be satisfied until one of them disappears.

‘They’re hostile no matter when I see them.’

Why the two guilds don’t get along can’t be explained simply in one or two words.

There have been many incidents and numerous conflicts between guild members that have led to the current situation of being nearly at the breaking point.

However, like the cause of all problems, when you get to the fundamental issue, it can only come down to one thing.

Reytana and Narin.

It was because of the personality differences between these two guild leaders.

The Sword Saint Society, always pursuing strength and trying to establish a society of hunters, led by Narin.

The Order, seeking to save everyone as a whole rather than focusing on hunters’ lives, led by the Saint, Reytana.

Since their purposes were completely opposite from the start, criticizing each other was their daily routine.

The Sword Saint Society calls The Order hypocrites.

The Order calls the Sword Saint Society an unethical group.

Naturally, they have many reasons to look at each other with disgust.

In the end, their guild management policies were bound to make them hate each other from the start.

Just like water and oil that absolutely cannot mix…

They fight over every little thing, never harmonizing and always causing incidents.

Then they always blame others, causing trouble for guilds other than the Sword Saint Society and The Order.

This has happened so many times that even the Hunter Association gave up on their relationship long ago.

In the end, since their existence is inevitable, other people just think there’s nothing they can do and gave up.

‘I’ll just make them fight and keep the winner.’

So now I’m trying to make Reytana and Narin fight.

And specifically planning to take the winner.

Reytana likes me. She follows me very faithfully.

And Narin probably likes me too. She pitifully begged me not to abandon her.

A situation where both like me too much.

In this situation, I could decide to take both of them, but that wasn’t right.

If you ask why, it was because the risk was too high.

Even if I tell Reytana and Narin not to fight and get along well right now, obviously years of hatred won’t disappear overnight.

They might pretend not to fight in front of me, but it was obvious they would fight fiercely when I’m not around.

Then of course they would cause some problems when I’m not aware, and obviously, I would be the one to suffer collateral damage.

I obviously didn’t want that. I absolutely hate such troublesome life.

The reason I keep Reytana and Narin in the first place is to have a more convenient life.

Rather than having them fight fiercely and cause me trouble everywhere, it’s better to just keep one person who wins.

To be honest, I have leverage over both of them, and I don’t have any particular attachment.

We’re not even in a romantic relationship, at best it might be right to call it friends with benefits.

Honestly, as long as I can satisfy my desires, it doesn’t matter who it is.

So I gave them an order.

“You understand roughly? Fight each other from now on.”

Fight…!

Prove yourself through fighting…!

If you ask why I chose fighting among many possible methods…

Isn’t it the fairest method in a way?

They’re both well-known hunters, and in the end, it would be the method with the least aftermath.

“… I see.”

“… I understand.”

They maintained silence for a moment after hearing my words, but soon nodded as if they understood well.

And again started glaring at each other with eyes mixed with hatred.

“I’ve been wanting to rip out that dog-like pig bitch’s throat, this is perfect.”

“Who are you to talk? Today I’ll finally crack your skull with my God’s Mace…!”

And without even a moment’s gap, they emitted magical power toward each other.

A situation ready to explode into fighting at any moment.

However, I stopped them for now.

“You crazy bitches. Fight somewhere else, not here.”

I don’t want my house to be destroyed.

“Ah…! Understood… Hero-nim.”

“Ah…! Master. Understood.”

At my words, both temporarily withdrew their magical power.

And we all moved together to a place to fight.

— — —

Narin and Reytana.

Of course, these two are S-class hunters ranked 3rd and 5th in ability, and leaders of major guilds.

Naturally, if such hunters fight wrongly, they could instantly devastate an entire city.

Therefore, if these two were to fight, they obviously had to do it in a designated place where there would be no harm to people.

And for that, we are currently moving using the vehicle Reytana came in.

Inside Reytana’s car.

Obviously, a quiet and silent atmosphere had to flow.

The two hugging my arms from both sides with me in the center in the back seat, glaring at each other.

They’ve been growling and engaging in psychological warfare since earlier.

Indeed, they truly live up to their reputation of having an extremely bad relationship.

I ordered these two not to fight.

Obviously, if they used magical power in this narrow vehicle, an annoying situation would obviously occur.

So I declared in advance that if anyone committed violent acts against the other before arriving, that person would be disqualified.

So we were going relatively peacefully but.

However, it seemed inevitable that even if they didn’t fight physically, they would fight verbally.

At first, they started psychological warfare by lightly scratching at each other.

“Are you done talking…!?”

“What if I am?”

Now they were in a battle of pride where neither could back down.

[Competitive banter between characters tastefully summarized]

Time passed, and.

We arrived at the Hunter Association’s hunter practice ground.

The practice ground of the Hunter Association, made with otherworldly minerals.

Since it was originally made to measure hunters’ abilities.

The durability here is quite sturdy.

This is obviously a place where Narin and Reytana, two S-class hunters, can rampage to their hearts’ content without problems.

It’s a sudden visit and originally can’t be rented without reservation.

But when two S-class hunters ask to rent it together, the association had no way to refuse.

So we somewhat forcefully rented this place entirely, and.

Reytana and Narin stood in their respective positions and glared at each other.

“Get ready to die today. Only I am Hero-nim’s slave…! You’re just a fake slave…!”

“Ha…! Look who’s talking. I’m master’s real slave…? I’ll make today your funeral and make sure to eat yukgaejang after.”

And simultaneously emitting magical power toward each other as if determined to secure victory.

The battle where neither could back down began.

“Good thing I bought popcorn.”

And watching them, I put the delicious popcorn I bought before coming here in my mouth.

Nothing beats popcorn for watching a fight…!
