Jihoon entered the main auditorium and was coming out again in less than five minutes.

In front of him, someone who appeared to be Do Young-hwan was walking with a limp in front of him.

Do Young-hwan, who was leading the way, had his face literally covered in blood, and it was surprising that he was still walking without collapsing after being beaten so badly.

“Is this… person Do Young-hwan?”

Sojung carefully asks Jihoon.

“Yeah, I got scolded trying to remember which of the four people had their jaws smashed”

Hehehe

Do Young-hwan held his face and endured the pain, but he was shocked when he saw the two hunters lying on the floor in pain.

Team leader Seongju Kim and his subordinates.

Younghwan often visited Ares Guild, where his father worked, and became familiar with the faces of many hunters within the guild.

This was because he was confident that he would definitely join the Ares Guild after graduating from the academy.

So when he saw the faces of the two people now lying on the floor, he couldn’t believe this reality.

Team leader Kim Seong-ju, a veteran of the Ares Guild who had been active as a combat member for seven years, was in the same state as he was not long ago.

Also, as far as Younghwan knew, the person moaning next to him was a guild member who was a C-level hunter.

His face was also swollen and looked like a bomb about to explode.

“Hey Kang Ji-hoon, what on earth are you…”

In the auditorium where Ji-hoon and Young-hwan appeared, Ji-hoon’s childhood friend Jin-hee Yoon follows behind them and shouts, but then looks at the floor and becomes speechless.

Just moments ago, Ji-hoon found Yeong-hwan in the main auditorium where all the cadets of classes 8, 9, 10, and 11 were gathered, knocked on him, and dragged him out.

Jinhee Yoon of Class 8, who was sitting waiting for the special lecture, saw this and followed them out.

“You…who are these people…what on earth are you doing these days?”

As Jinhee talks to Jihoon, she soon discovers Han Sojeong standing next to him.

“Class 2 Han So-jeong?”

“Huh? Jinhee, do you know him too? Were you a famous person?”

When Jihoon looks at Sojung and asks, Sojung shrugs her shoulders and makes a cute expression saying it’s nothing.

“Jihoon, how do you know the 2nd class cadet?”

Jinhee’s question

“Hey? I don’t know, I’m just a talkative stalker”

“Hey Kang Ji-hoon! Who said you were a stalker!”

Jinhee, watching the two bickering, confirms once again that Jihoon is not the Kang Jihoon she knew.

“There…there”

Do Young-hwan, who was watching them, carefully opened his mouth.

“Oh, that’s right. You call your father right now. And change me”

Young-hwan hesitates for a moment at Ji-hoon’s command, but when Ji-hoon tries to take a step towards him, he quickly takes out his cell phone and makes a call.

Jihoon takes him away

-Are you Yeonghwan?

“No. This is Kang Ji-hoon, whom you ordered to send someone to catch him.”

-What…what? Yeonghwan… Where is Yeonghwan, you bastard!!

“He’s lying here, so send others to pick him up. The employees of the company I sent it to are also lying there.”

Ji-hoon’s new brother approaches Young-hwan while holding his phone and then lightly punches him in the stomach.

“Kkeuk..Kruk…”

Yeonghwan’s beaten body falls to the floor along with the two who were lying down.

-I will kill you, you bastard. I’m waiting.

“I’m waiting for you. Ares Guild? I’m leaving now, so get ready. Not with these sloppy guys, but with confident kids”

-what? This crazy bastard is •••

Jihoon throws his phone away

“What are you talking about? Are you going to the Ares Guild? Are you ready?”

Sojeong’s face is full of absurdity.

“Okay…Jihoon, why are you like this these days? What are you doing”

Jinhee also says something filled with worry.

at that time

“Hey. Why do you keep interrupting me?”

Sojeong’s ice-cold tone weighs on Jinhee.

Her words were full of disdain as to why she was trying to mix words on a topic of a different level.

Jinhee immediately loses her words and closes her mouth, avoiding Sojeong’s eyes and looking at Jihoon.

Jin-hee knows very well that she cannot beat Han So-jung, who is in class 2, regardless of her appearance, family, or hunter level.

She hopes Ji-hoon will take her side now.

He hopes that Jihoon, who has been loyal to him all his life, will return to normal and protect him.

“Han So-jung, why are you saying such scary things?”

!!

Jinhee’s face blooms brightly.

Has Jihoon come back?

Is his old childhood friend, the person he has depended on his entire life, coming forward for him again?

The next word turns away from the hopeful girl.

“Jinhee, you go in and take a special lecture. I will deal with this stalker”

“Hey!! Because I’m not a stalker!!”

The two of them were joking around as if they didn’t even care that Jinhee was here.

Jihoon and Sojung were walking away without even looking at Jinhee.

Jinhee’s eyes look at the three people lying bleeding.

Jinhee felt that even though she was standing unharmed, she was bleeding just like them.

Now, he has become a nothing and cannot draw attention from his childhood friend, whom he treated like a subordinate his whole life.

Jinhee felt longing, regret, and strange emotions that were difficult to explain sprouting deep within her heart.

“Why are you following me? You really shouldn’t follow me this time”

Jihoon, who was walking towards the main gate of the academy’s H section, had not yet been able to separate Sojung.

“Are you saying you know what kind of place the Ares Guild is?”

“How do I know? I should go and find out now.”

Sojung, whose clothes are about to explode at Jihoon’s absurd answer, spreads her arms and blocks his path.

“The Ares Guild is a very large guild with three A-level hunters and over 20 B-level hunters. I think what will happen if you go and ask questions like you’re going to some department store to get a refund”

Ji-hoon, who cannot catch a taxi because So-jung does not get out of the way, tries his best to avoid her by walking in the direction where So-jung does not block.

Then, as if he saw her expression of sincere concern, he began to talk seriously.

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s a very large guild or something. I can’t just let them send someone like this to interfere with my academy life”

So-jung, seeing Ji-hoon’s slightly serious expression, vaguely senses that he has a story.

What she learned during the few days she spent with Jihoon was that Jihoon was seriously studying at the academy, or rather, related to hunter abilities and gates.

It was not an obsession like raising the hunter level to become stronger and gain fame, or conquering many gates to make a lot of money.

What Jihoon wanted seemed to be a more fundamental problem.

Since he didn’t seem to be able to answer even if she asked what it was right now, Sojung decided to watch from close by.

“Do you know where the Ares Guild is? I just wanted to take a taxi and go to Ares Guild, right?”

Hot

“…”

Jihoon was left speechless by Sojeong’s comment.

“Well, since it is a famous place, the taxi driver should be able to find it. Is it going to be around 150,000 won?”

Jihoon quickly reached into his back pocket, took out his wallet, and checked on him.

“…isn’t it Seoul?”

“Is it Seoul? The site needs to be large enough to build a huge training center and conduct virtual gate suppression training, right?”

“…Can you lend me some money?”

“I don’t like it?”

Jihoon’s shoulders slump.

“Go to my car. Instead, I’ll go with you”

“Do you have a car?”

“My father’s guild representative. I am also in the second class of the academy, so I receive a lot of support”

“Beautiful Guild… right?”

“What about Beautiful Pool!!! Our guild is new, but it is a very up-and-coming guild with a very small number of members!!”

Sojung is huffing and screaming loudly.

It seemed clear that he had a huge complex about the guild name.

***

The two drove for quite some time and arrived in front of the Ares Guild.

In front of the long internal road leading to the headquarters building, there were no security guards or barriers to block cars.

Confidence that it doesn’t matter if anyone comes in

The guild was a huge military group in itself.

It would be even more strange if such an armed group had strict security and security.

The message is that if you are confident, whether you are a thief or a black hunter, come in as much as you want.

A small car soon arrives right in front of the headquarters building and stops.

Jihoon getting out of the car

“Thank you for taking me”

“I said I would go with you only if I thanked you for taking me”

“No, if you can, go back from here”

“Hey!! Where is that? A promise is wrong-”

Huh

Jihoon’s body, which got out of the car, rises and flies toward the building’s revolving door.

Clink

wajangchang

In each piece that contains his inner work, everything from the front door of the building to the statue of the guild founder standing in front is broken and smashed, with nothing left.

“That…that crazy guy…”

As Sojeong looked at Jihoon, the words “he’s crazy” kept coming out of her mouth.
