Chapter Index

    Spring, when all things come to life.

    A new school year, a new semester, began with a little warmth seeping into the still slightly cold wind.

    It’s already 3rd grade.

    This is the time to pour the curriculum into practice based on what you learned in the first and second years.

    However, to me and other guild members, it didn’t matter.

    We have already obtained hunter licenses and have participated in more than hundreds of battles.

    Even the guild members’ hunter grade is A level, the same level as before the professors retired as hunters.

    In many ways, it means that we have long since left the university level.

    Is that why?

    Not long after practice-oriented classes began, I received a call from the vice dean.

    “Early graduation, approved.”

    The request for early graduation, which I had previously requested, has been officially approved.

    It was a good thing.

    Since there was no further contact and there was no response, I thought I would take action.

    “The students’ complaints were loud.”

    “Wonseong… You mean?”

    “It has to be that way, since all the Twilight Guild members, including Kim Do-jin, are at the top level and hardened like concrete.”

    “Aha… … .”

    Certainly, the number of students gossiping about us has increased significantly recently.

    Because of our presence, their grades dropped one level at a time, so they must have been dissatisfied in many ways.

    And that dissatisfaction resulted in early graduation approval after completing the first semester.

    “Anyway, since that’s the case, I hope you enjoy your remaining time at school.”

    “Yes, I understand.”

    After briefly bowing his head, he left the vice president’s office.

    I have to go tell the kids.

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    After returning from participating in the altar meeting.

    The Twilight Guild and its members have become the so-called star hunters that everyone recognizes.

    Awareness was already growing rapidly, but now if you go out with a bare face, the crowds will be so thick that it will be difficult to move.

    There are even crowds of reporters and fans volunteering to be fans outside the school.

    Thanks to this, I am busy waving every time I leave school after class.

    anyway.

    When you build up this much recognition, there is one thing that inevitably comes.

    It’s a celebrity disease.

    Why, isn’t there a saying like that?

    If you become famous, people will applaud you even if you poop.

    That’s true in reality too.

    Of course, I can’t reveal that I pooped and ask for praise, but it is true that no matter what I do, I have a strong support base that praises me for doing a good job and that it is great.

    As a result, most people who gain rapid popularity easily fall into a swamp of illusion.

    Ah, I am such a great person!

    I am a special being different from others!

    As long as they are here, I can do anything!

    … And he begins to struggle, drunk on the taste of mulberry that popularity gives him.

    Then, you end up focusing on what you can see, and you end up paying attention to what you can’t see.

    This means that, in all likelihood, you will neglect practice and your growth will stagnate.

    I also went through that period.

    About 3 months?

    I went around thinking I was good and was showing off, but it took about that long for me to break away.

    If a person with high self-control and self-control like me can get caught, what would other guild members think?

    “Look at this, can you see it? The number of followers increased by 100,000 in one day.”

    “Wow… , it has increased a lot. I also posted a photo yesterday, and hundreds of comments appeared in no time.”

    “Ha… , It was so boring that I wanted to die. Elena, you have become so strong.”

    Look.

    Aren’t we already showing the early symptoms of celebrity disease?

    If you dig a little deeper here, it will take a long time to break free.

    So, as a senior who has already gone through that path, I have to help them.

    how?

    “Run faster-!”

    It’s training.

    With such extreme intensity that it prevents you from thinking about anything else.

    “Anyone who catches up with me gets two extra hours of training!”

    “Aaagh!”

    “Fuck!”

    “Ah, the devil is chasing me… !”

    We train to ensure that discipline does not become lax, and engrave it in the minds of those who are exhausted.

    “Do you really think you have become world class just because you went to the Holy Order?! You are nothing!”

    Just like Father Son, who created a world-class player from a weak soccer country in the past.

    Make their current location clear.

    “Now, I will graduate from university in just 3 months. At that time, you will no longer be able to use the shield of being a student. Can you sleep with your skills?! If it were me, I wouldn’t come! I’m embarrassed!”

    A strong tone brings back lost venom.

    Guild members become agitated by a few words and soon become indignant.

    The facial expressions are scary.

    But, well, so what are you going to do?

    “If you don’t agree with what I say, come at me! Prove it with your skills. If you hit me even once, I’ll do whatever you want, whether it’s kneeling or licking the soles of my feet!”

    Set clear goals and motivate yourself.

    “I’ll do whatever you want, that’s it… !”

    “Bar, the soles of your feet… , lol… .”

    “Uriyaaaat!”

    Guild members boil over in an instant.

    He makes those who rush at him with only motivation fall away in an instant.

    Over and over again, until the sun goes down.

    Lastly, I commend those who are completely exhausted and all they can do is gasp for breath.

    “Good. Today’s training ends here. Everyone worked hard.”

    “… … .”

    “… … .”

    “… … .”

    There is no answer.

    I understand.

    You must be busy breathing.

    After waiting on the floor for a while, they managed to get up and disappear one by one.

    Group training is over.

    Now all that’s left is personal training.

    “Yoon Si-hoo, you can still do it, right?”

    “… Yes, senior!”

    “Good.”

    We begin the tempering of Yoon Si-hoo, as requested by the saint.

    A body that is not yet ripe.

    “Isn’t it disappointing if you’re just that tired?”

    Extremely immature swordsmanship.

    “My pet slime can use a sword better than you!”

    A person with high morale and an empty head that doesn’t know what to do.

    “Are you just swinging it around ignorantly? Think, think!”

    It touches everything from one to ten.

    It was almost midnight, so close.

    “That’s it for today.”

    “Thank you… bout… .”

    Before he could even finish his sentence, he caught the fallen body in the air.

    “Ugh.”

    I don’t mind touching a guy’s body.

    Is there anything else?

    This is a request from our saint herself, so we must do it with sincerity.

    He drags the sleeping boy, puts him in the backseat of the car, and takes the wheel.

    The destination is a residential area near Sindang-dong.

    As you enter, you see Jin Ha-rin standing in front of the black gate.

    Park the car in front of it and get out.

    “Even if I don’t come out first.”

    “No. I just came out too.”

    It’s already been ten days since we brought in Yoon Si-hoo, who had collapsed.

    Since we arrived at almost the same time, it seems that it is now convenient to be on time.

    She asks, dressed in comfortable clothes that are quite different from those at school.

    “Sihoo again today… ?”

    “Well, that’s right.”

    “It’s already been 10 days and it’s still the same.”

    Jin Ha-rin smiles bitterly.

    For ten days, Yoon Si-hoo trained every single day and fell asleep.

    In some ways, you may think that nothing has changed, but the reality is different.

    “I grew a lot in 10 days.”

    “Uh… , really? But why… .”

    I told the truth to my puzzled junior.

    “Instead, we just increased the intensity of training as we grew.”

    “Ah… … .”

    When I felt I had adapted at all, I increased the training intensity.

    That’s why I barely hold on every day, and after holding on, I collapse right away.

    And it is growing at an incredible rate.

    “Anyway, I’m sorry for bothering you every day.”

    Surprised by the sudden apology, she shakes her head and waves her hands.

    “Oh, no. I’m here because I want to.”

    “If that’s the case, I’m glad.”

    I stopped teasing my boyfriend and asked if he was that worried.

    Because they stick around so much, it seems like they often hear the same thing here and there.

    Maybe that’s why I feel quite stressed.

    There is no need to add weight to it.

    I open the back seat, take out the thing that was stuffed in it like a piece of luggage, and hand it to Jin Ha-rin.

    Although she looks slender, she is a hunter and easily accepts Yoon Si-hoo, who is a head taller than her.

    “Go in quickly. If I have to go to class again tomorrow, I have to go to sleep soon.”

    After saying that, I was about to turn around.

    “… Hey, senior.”

    Jin Ha-rin, who opened her mouth belatedly, called me over.

    “Why?”

    “Hey… , I have something to tell you, senior. Could you please give me a moment?”

    “Uh… , to me?”

    “Yes.”

    What do you have to say to me this late at night?

    I don’t usually have many contacts, so I can’t really think of anything.

    When I nodded my head out of curiosity, she asked with a slightly brightened face.

    “Can you wait a moment? I’ll leave you lying down in the room and come out right away.”

    “Okay, then.”

    A guy who walks up the stairs faster than usual.

    Not long after, she came down again, leaving her luggage behind, and handed me something in her hand.

    “Here, senior.”

    It was juice.

    When I saw that the color was red, it was a strawberry… , No, it’s a tomato.

    “I thought juice would be better instead of coffee because it was night. You don’t hate tomatoes, right?”

    “Why all this… . I like tomato juice. I’ll drink well.”

    In front of her, he opened the lid and drank the juice.

    After emptying one bottle completely.

    “So what do you want to say to me?”

    “Ah… , that’s it.”

    Jin Ha-rin mutters with an unusually awkward expression.

    What on earth are you taking so long to say?

    While she was thinking about it, she mustered up the courage to open her mouth.

    “Well, me too… , can you please take a look?”

    “Uh, um.”

    what.

    Have I been confessed just now?
