Elena Mikhailova Dobreva.

A yellow-haired foreigner from Bulgaria.

By chance, she entered a university founded in a distant, foreign land, and had only one goal.

‘I have to make money.’

It was money.

It was in a similar context that I entered a Korean university rather than an academy in Europe, which was much closer to Korea.

Because Korean universities provided more scholarship support than European academies.

The language barrier was no problem for her.

Because there was nothing in this world that she was afraid of other than being short on money.

‘You just have to prove it with your skills.’

Moreover, isn’t a hunter a profession where one proves one’s skills with one’s body and skills, not with words?

I arrived at Korea in such an exciting way.

There, she was not a fellow aspiring hunter, but just a foreigner with whom she could not communicate.

Her skills were by far outstanding.

To the extent that he can overwhelm not only his peers in the same position, but even quite a few seniors.

But she didn’t know.

The hunter community in Korea is conducting education with a thorough focus on party play.

“Fuck, what kind of words do we need to come up with before we can plan a strategy!”

“What can you do if you have good skills? “He raises his shield arbitrarily and even blocks attacks from his allies.”

The students who approached her, impressed by her skills, quickly left with grim expressions.

It was only then that Elena realized the fear that came from not being able to communicate.

From then on, I focused on learning Korean, which had been sluggish, along with training.

And her fierce persistence led to results.

“I can communicate now.”

“Shield timing? “I will do it as you wish!”

Except for difficult words such as idioms, I can now understand most of them.

So it seemed like more people were looking for her again.

Another problem arises here.

“Hey, Elena! “What are we going to do if we slow down too?”

“What kind of dog-like traits do you have?”

“Oh, if I party with you again, we’ll go to the castle, castle!”

It was then that she realized that all Koreans were incredibly rich.

‘Going to the castle… , Koreans all have their own castles, and do they consider them insignificant to the point of replacing them? !’

It took quite a while for him to realize that the last name was not what he thought.

Because everyone moved away from her.

A characteristic that uses some of the impact received to create a floor that slows down your feet.

It was a very attractive trait, but the disadvantage of not being able to hide Pia held her back.

What’s even more absurd is that it wasn’t like this before.

‘Why all of a sudden… ?’

It was a difficult thing for her to understand.

Why did an ability that was clearly only used on monsters in Bulgaria suddenly become a problem for other party members as well?

But one thing was certain.

‘I need to fix it.’

If you don’t fix this, your future will be a dark night sky without a single star.

But she couldn’t fix it in the end.

As time passed, it became a burden and became something everyone avoided.

That might have been bearable, but a bigger problem arose.

“If you are in this condition, it may be difficult to receive scholarships, Elena.”

“me… , Put more effort.”

Even the reason that brought them to a distant, foreign land has disappeared.

Out of desperation, I tried harder, but nothing changed.

Everyone turned away from her, and her desperation pushed her to the edge of a cliff and she was close to giving up.

met him

Kim Do-jin.

A bundle of talent who caused a stir in Korean universities as soon as he entered school as a special student.

That’s what I thought at the time, that he was caught in my solicitation.

‘Hogu.’

A good-natured brat who has a naive face and a naive personality, allowing himself, despite all his flaws, into the party.

And now that a lot of time has passed, my thoughts toward Kim Do-jin have also changed a lot.

‘A benefactor and someone who understands me better than I do.’

She changed after meeting him.

I corrected my troublesome traits and earned quite a bit of money with my temporary hunter license.

His skills grew quickly, and now he has gone from a C-level to a B-level hunter.

“Class B… .”

As a hunter, this is the level where you start to touch quite large amounts of money.

We should definitely be happy that we have reached that starting point.

“… … .”

For some reason, she was now caught up in more depression than joy.

The beginning goes back 3 months ago.

The day I first set out to conquer a dungeon as a C-class hunter.

Except for Kim Do-jin, who was eating popcorn in the back, he recorded the lowest contribution among the party members.

If it had only happened once, it wouldn’t have been that shocking.

However, surprisingly, she reached grade B with the lowest contribution in all three months.

Have you become weak?

‘no.’

So, did your sense of urgency disappear after you became a hunter?

‘That’s not it any more.’

I wasn’t the problem.

It’s just that the skills of these two people, Shin Yu-jeong and Im Na-eun, suddenly jumped up.

Lim Na-eun’s magic has become faster and more powerful, and Shin Yu-jeong has become more solid in both offense and defense.

Even if she doesn’t have much confidence, she can handle all the monster’s aggro on her own.

‘okay. That’s the problem.’

That was what made her depressed.

Even if he is not in the party, he has been reduced to an irrelevant entity.

That stimulated her sense of crisis.

No matter how hard you try, you can’t keep up with the growth rate of these two people.

When you take one step forward, you take two or three steps, and the gap is widening further.

How on earth do they train?

As she pondered and pondered alone, she soon found someone who could give her the answer.

“smart.”

When I make a sound with my mouth, a voice comes from inside.

“come in.”

The manager’s office in Heon Ja-hwi’s club room.

When you open the door and enter, Kim Do-jin is sitting on a chair.

“What are you doing, Dojin?”

“I was just taking a break… , why?”

“Uhm, is that so?”

Elena looks at Kim Do-jin’s face.

His expression definitely looks a little strange today.

Maybe it’s because I’m so tired, but I keep frowning one of my eyebrows and breathing heavily.

“I came here to ask you a quick question… , If I’m tired, I put it off until later.”

“uh… .”

He was lost in thought for a moment and then shook his head.

“no. “It’s just listening to the story, okay?”

“As expected, Dojin… .”

I fell in love with that person because he was so nice.

While she was misunderstanding, Kim Do-jin asked.

“so… , um, what do you want to ask… hey?”

The voice is slightly interrupted somewhere.

But she didn’t think much of it.

Because the worries in his heart were so great right now that he had no time to worry about them.

“I’m very scared these days.”

“I’m afraid… Dany?”

“I worry about getting kicked out of the team, so I worry every day… ? “I do that.”

Kim Do-jin tilts his head as if puzzled by her words.

What does it mean to suddenly be kicked out of the team?

“Why are you kicked out of the team?”

The team leader himself is not even thinking about that.

Then her real worries occurred.

“I… , I feel useless these days.”

“It’s useless… Ugh, isn’t there any?”

“Yujeong, you have grown tremendously. “We attack well and defend even better.”

“that… “Well, that’s right.”

Kim Do-jin obediently agrees.

Shin Yu-jeong and Lim Na-eun’s growth has been remarkable recently.

And the secret to such growth was thanks to the stigma that Kim Do-jin engraved on the two people.

They say that if you mix your magic power with the existing magic power, your movements will become much smoother.

It is said that detailed control that would not have been possible originally has become very easy.

‘Thanks to you, I became a very fish in the water.’

Lim Na-eun’s magic has developed further.

The casting speed is noticeably faster, and the destructive power is the same.

Shin Yu-jeong quickly mastered techniques that can only be learned by skillfully handling magical powers.

I think the two people now will probably be in the upper to mid tier among B-class.

Only then did Kim Do-jin realize her anxiety.

“therefore… “You don’t like being left behind?”

“… you’re right.”

Elena nodded slightly.

Being the only one in the party with poor skills means that one day you will become their shackles.

What choice will these people with heavy shackles on their feet make?

‘Of course I have to break the shackles.’

She is afraid of being abandoned by her teammates.

When I was shunned by everyone in a distant, foreign land, I was afraid of being abandoned by those who were the only ones who accepted me.

I also don’t like making money without being able to perform my role properly.

All she wants is fair compensation.

That’s why she has to get stronger faster.

Shin Yu-jeong and Lim Na-eun, to walk side by side not only with the two of them but also with other team members.

“I am… “I thought Dojin could give me the answer, so I came here.”

Elena asked, looking at Dojin with eyes full of earnestness.

“Dojin, how can I become stronger?”

As I continue to ask for the answer, please.

“Oh, wait… !”

Suddenly, Kim Do-jin fell face down on the desk and started shaking.

“Do, dojin… ?”

Elena, embarrassed by this, tried to approach him.

“Stay there!”

Do-jin raised his head and extended his hand to stop her.

Just for a moment.

“Whoa… , sorry. “My legs suddenly felt a little numb.”

He regained his complexion and spoke with his usual smile on his lips.

“therefore… “You’re saying that Elena wants to grow up as fast as Yujeong, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Kim Do-jin thinks for a moment about her answer.

“Umm… “I know how he grew up so quickly.”

“Really?”

Elena asks a question with a bright smile on her face.

It wasn’t a lie.

The secret to her growth came from the effect of the stigma she carved.

Elena, now in a hurry, runs to the desk and stretches out her arms.

The target was his hand placed neatly on the desk.

She held onto her teeth tightly and screamed as if she was begging.

“That way… , Please let me know, I will do everything Dojin tells me to do!”

Let’s take a moment to be taken aback by this powerful statement.

Kim Do-jin pondered her words and asked back.

“Can you really do anything?”

“Yes, really!”

“Umm… “If you say that much, I’ll try to make a training schedule just for Elena.”

Her face filled with joy.

“Thank you so much, thank you, Dojin!”

He shook his head at the seemingly excessive expression of gratitude.

“no. “In fact, I am more grateful.”

Kim Do-jin was really thinking that way.
