“So now, when I get into the dorm, I’m going to take classes too!”

Seeing Arin talking excitedly, the three people were happy and enjoyed it as if it were their own.

“Congratulations, Arin!”

“Finally! It went so well!”

“Is it okay to take the class?”

Of course, there were some concerns.

It was natural to worry because everyone was well aware of her trauma.

“Yes, I’ve really improved a lot these days. Before, I was always dreaming, but these days, there are more days when I sleep soundly without dreaming?”

I was able to see that the fact that I was receiving medication separately and taking it separately from the counseling was effective enough, as the company provided support.

What was clear was that as I started receiving counseling, I started thinking about taking medication.

“And I really like the class taught by teacher Eunjeong, really!”

“I think I get along really well with that person.”

Arin was the type of person who liked people, but Chaeyun felt like she got along very well with Eunjeong.

“Yes, Teacher Eunjeong is a really good person! You speak very coherently and well.”

“After all, he is the one doing the consulting.”

“He was a very successful hunter, but I was surprised to hear that he quit being a hunter because he liked counseling.”

Hunter is Arin’s dream job.

When I first heard that he quit being a hunter for counseling, it was quite a shock.

However, Eun-jeong’s sincere attitude toward people and her ability to lead counseling sessions was very attractive.

“I was surprised at first, but everyone has their own dream. And I thought that if you save people in the field, you are the person who saves people mentally.”

Physical salvation and spiritual salvation are certainly different, but both were definitely necessary.

“Real! I’m so jealous?!”

In the midst of all this seriousness, Su-ah jumped up from her seat and screamed.

“I feel like my sister is being taken away!”

Arin looked a little surprised to see him suddenly acting like a child, but she soon laughed.

“Anyway, our Su-ah is a total baby? Cute, cute.”

“Puhup, that’s right. I’m jealous of this. If Arin gets a boyfriend later, won’t she act like a complete sister-in-law?!”

Chaeyoon agreed and listened to Arin.

“Well, if it’s Su-ah, maybe so.”

“Eek?! Even Nahyun unni?! This is a conspiracy! I don’t act like that!”

When even Na-hyeon agreed, Su-a screamed as if it was unfair.

However, the sisters who made fun of Su-ah just smiled mischievously, as if it was fun.

“Oh, come to think of it, I also said that I will move on to the next level of training once I move into the dorm!”

Su-a was currently taking a class focusing on completely basic dagger techniques and physical training.

“Right now, I’m learning how to hold a dagger well and how to stab, but you said you can move on to the next step!”

The posture, which was a mess at first, now has a completely blader-like appearance.

In addition, his stabbing form has improved significantly, so he is now training to quickly attack the target while keeping pace with his skills.

“Target attack training is really fun, but now you said you’re going to teach me how to use techniques along with that?!”

Suah was excited and her eyes were sparkling.

Just as Arin was eager to take the practical class, Suah was also eager to move on to the next level.

“Everyone is great. I still can’t shake the feeling of being treated.”

Since the most important thing to Chaeyun was strength, she was intensively exercising to build strength and stamina.

Although Chaeyoon kept running without stopping even though it felt a bit difficult, Chaeyoon also wanted to learn about tanking techniques.

“When I hear about the teacher’s experience and things like this, I want to go back to the gate as soon as possible.”

Her favorite part of class was exercising and listening to the instructor’s stories from his experience.

As I listened to the story, I was able to concentrate on exercising without even knowing that it was difficult.

I became even more focused, thinking that I would like to experience something like that someday.

At first, the instructor only told her about her experiences after she finished exercising, but now she realized that she would concentrate more when she listened to her stories, and now she would tell stories during exercise.

“Wow, tell me about your field experience?”

“Yes, there are a lot of really exciting stories!”

“I’ll have to ask you to do it next time too!”

Until now, Su-a had never thought of asking to hear the story from the scene.

But it was natural to like stories from the field.

Of course, there were some very dangerous moments at the time, and entering the gate was not always a pleasant experience.

For the four of you, it was like a dream, so I wanted to hear it even more.

“How about Nahyun?”

Chae-yoon asked Na-hyeon, who was particularly quiet.

“Well, I would like you to be quiet…”

“Is the teacher a bit noisy?”

“Yes, too.”

Nahyun didn’t like to talk that much.

Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t like listening to stories, but the problem was that I kept asking for Nahyun’s consent or trying to get her to talk.

“Hmm, but Nahyun needs to learn how to speak!”

“I know how to speak..”

It’s just that I didn’t do it, it didn’t mean I couldn’t do it.

“Acquaintance~?”

“…”

Su-ah asked playfully, but there was no answer.

“Look at this! You talk all the time, but you just don’t talk back!”

“Just don’t do that, Suya.”

“Yes, it’s not that you can’t do it, but that’s how you express that you don’t want to talk.”

Arin and Chaeyoon talked, but Suah did not give in.

“No! it is not so! I need to learn how to talk again!”

“Noisy.”

In the end, it was always a shame to open Nahyun’s closed mouth.

Of course, those words were not nice words.

“Anyway, I’m so glad that everyone seems to be moving forward.”

Arin smiled and spoke as if to brighten the mood.

“Definitely. Before, I was just wondering which engineering school I should go to today.”

As a hunter, I wanted to enter the gate and be helpful to people.

As always, their presence was not very welcome.

“But now I come and take classes at the same time. I’m so happy because I think I’ll be able to get to the gate soon.”

“I want to go to the gate quickly! I want to show off my improved skills!”

Su-ah got excited and took a stance swinging a dagger.

Of course, there was nothing in her hand to avoid danger, but Sua’s posture was definitely different from before, showing off the form of a blader.

“Oh~ Su-ah, you’re showing real form?”

“Awesome, Choi Su-ah!”

“Hehe, I’m a pretty cool blader!”

I thought it would be quite painful to just get hit because my hand was swinging so fast.

“We are really making progress.”

Nahyun also acknowledged this.

It was now clearly visible that they were moving forward.

“Please pass this on to four people.”

“What is it?”

“Oh, I bought some things I thought I might need.”

Seojun, who had been very busy these days, visited the guild building for the first time in a long time.

In fact, Geon-wu was holding in his hand a very carefully wrapped gift, as if he wanted to give it to him, and was trying to gauge what was inside by its weight.

“Is this a dagger?”

“That’s right.”

It was a box containing a dagger to give as a gift to Su-ah.

“Where did you spend a lot of money to buy it?”

“Well, I made it rather than bought it.”

When Geon-woo heard that it was being produced, he remembered something that happened the other day.

When the instructor told me to learn details such as the size of my hand and the degree of grip, I skipped over it, wondering if I really wanted to know such things.

When I realized that it was something I did to make a dagger, I just laughed.

“I bought things that I thought other people might need, too. To be honest, I don’t need it right now.”

Most of them were equipment or weapons worn when entering the gate, so of course it was inevitable that they would not be needed right away.

“Oh, and this is a gift from Director Kim and Dahyun.”

It was an issue that could have been overlooked, thinking that it was enough to say that you were doing your best to take care of your people.

Whenever that happens, Seo-jun always takes care of Geon-woo and his daughter Da-hyeon.

“It’s okay if you don’t buy ours.”

“Ah, you can’t do that. And I heard that Dahyun started attending kindergarten this time.”

Geon-woo’s daughter, Da-hyeon, was five years old this year and entered kindergarten a little later than her peers.

Most of the time, she spent time with her grandmother, but this time she had to go to kindergarten because her grandmother had sprained her back and had to go to a nursing home to rest.

“I was thinking that I should let it go soon.”

Dahyun didn’t really want to go to kindergarten so she could spend time with her grandmother, but Geonwoo wanted to make sure Dahyun could hang out with her friends before she went to elementary school.

“Is your mother receiving treatment well?”

“Ah, yes. I am recovering well thanks to the attention of the head of the department.”

As soon as Geon-wu’s mother was injured, Seo-jun introduced her to the hospital and even helped with some of the hospital expenses incurred there.

“I guess I should go visit the hospital.”

“The manager will be very happy if you go.”

“Haha, my mother really likes me.”

“I like it so much that I can’t help it.”

It could be said that he seemed to like him more than his own son.

“Anyway, I bought Dahyun a bag and some clothes to commemorate her going to kindergarten.”

Underneath the unique meticulous packaging, there were bags and clothes chosen with Dahyun in mind.

“Well, I’m not sure if it’s Dahyun’s taste.”

“If the manager gives it to you, you will like it.”

Dahyun also liked Seojun very much.

“It seems like all the genes in our family are made to like the general manager.”

“Wow, then Chief Kim too..?”

Seojun told a playful joke, and Geonwoo, whose default expression was expressionless, ended up laughing at it.

“Um, yes. That could be possible.”

“Heo Eok, I like women…”

“I like girls too.”

The two people’s nonsense continued for some time.
