Maybe it’s a party hosted by a company. In particular, if I go to a party hosted by a public company again, I would like to leave a message to my future self that it is better not to have high expectations.

“Umm… .”

Seminar room. No, the party venue was quiet. All the tables in the spacious space were pushed against the wall, and several chairs were placed at each large round table as if to invite people to sit together. The number of people sitting together could be counted on one hand.

To begin with, there weren’t that many people. Excluding the mid-level hunters standing as guards, the number would be around 20 at best. Well, I wondered how many people would show up for an event that suddenly opened like this.

Yum Yum.

I pick up and eat canapés that look like they are just a loose imitation of cheap snacks. I was afraid that a crumb would fall on the expensive suit I had made a few days ago, so I leaned forward a little and brushed the crumbs off my hands.

There was no particular reason why I was cornered like this. That’s right. Almost all of the less than twenty people who filled the party were celebrities I knew.

‘Wow, that person…’ That person again… .’

Looking at the faces, I was able to see once again how great the A-class and S-class unique skills were. Even people who are like me, scared and crushed in a corner. I remember seeing it on TV once.

To put it another way. I was the only one here whose face was unknown.

Of course, it was featured in an article once. There was no point in calling it fame in the first place, so I took it out of the equation.

That’s right, isn’t it? Hello, this is Park Jeong-woo, whose small dick has recently become a hot topic. Isn’t it impossible to introduce yourself like that?

-If there is someone who looks good, you can scout them.

The story Jihee Yang told me while adjusting the angle of her suit suddenly comes to mind.

What is scouting? It would be nice if they recognized it and didn’t laugh at it. With black, dead eyes, I picked up another canapé from the half-empty plate.

Sigh.

at that time. With a rather loud sound, the door to the seminar room opened.

The person who came in with the sound of shoes clicking was around 180 cm tall. He was a rather rough-looking man. What’s unique about it is the rapier worn at its side and the angled vigilante uniform?

As I glanced at the familiar combination, the eyes of the man who had been looking around the seminar room were fixed on me. I started walking this way.

what. What did I do wrong? I desperately tried to turn my gaze away from the man and show that I was not interested in him at all.

“Are you Park Jeong-woo?”

I guess it was of no use. A harsh voice came from right next to me. The man was looking down at me with his brows tightened and a grim face.

“Uh… Yes, what about it? How do you know… .”

“Did you eat all of this? You’re also greedy.”

For a moment, I felt a sense of deja vu due to the strangely familiar tone of voice. My eyebrows twitched at the tone of the argument that interrupted my words.

“It was there for you to eat. No one ate it, so I ate it… .”

“You don’t have basic manners.”

The air at the party settled, and several pairs of eyes turned in this direction. The man’s gaze, filled with clear contempt, looks down at me as if glaring.

“I don’t think you have that good manners either. They say they don’t even touch a dog while it’s eating, but when I see them touching it like this.”

I was so irritated that I couldn’t speak politely. The man snorted in a very textbook way, then took off the white gloves he was wearing and threw them on the floor.

“I challenge you to a duel.”

Lift your chin and speak very confidently. It felt like a prepared line and action.

That’s right, isn’t it? Normally, I wouldn’t say something stupid and anachronistic like that and then look like I’m a great person.

so that. I answered immediately.

“Why me?”

Phew. Laughter erupted from a corner of the quiet party hall.

Fortunately, the man didn’t suddenly blush and lunge at me. Instead, calmly take a step back. He pulled out his rapier and pointed it at me, confidently proving that he was much crazier than I thought.

“He was a guy who didn’t even know basic manners. Stop talking nonsense and take up arms.”

“Ah~.”

After looking at the stance holding the sword with skeptical eyes, I was finally able to become confident.

The front foot is steadily on the ground, and the back foot looks like it is ready to run at any moment. The unique shape of the hand holding the sword. Empty hand slightly extended to the side as if for balance.

Because that sight was so familiar. I smiled and looked the man up and down.

“Is it because of Chae Seo-ah?”

“That’s right. If you steal talent from another clan, you have to pay the price.”

“I didn’t steal it from you, right? Seo-ah came to me.”

As I was talking, I felt a bit uncomfortable about the tone. It wasn’t like I was making up something that didn’t exist, so I spoke confidently.

air lock. The reason I was able to act so confidently was because I was confident that if that man swung his sword, the other hunters standing guard would stop him.

What is it like? It’s not like I started the fight first. The right thing to do was to use the money that was meant to be used.

The man glared at me with a red face. Because of the strength in my hand, the tip of the rapier trembles.

“There is no way he would do that!”

“Did you ask yourself? You will check it right away.”

“That’s… .”

“Ah. No contact information?”

While I was talking, I suddenly closed my mouth. The sarcastic tone didn’t seem like mine at all.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard this way of speaking before. ah. Did Ojik use this exact tone of speech? They say it’s hard work, hard work, and hard work, and there’s nothing wrong with that old saying.

anyway. I have also experienced this, but this way of speaking is very effective in getting on people’s nerves. What this means is that the man in front of me was so angry that he was about to lose his temper.

Uh oh. Look at that. I think it’s really going to sting. I nudge the side of the knife with my finger. I smiled as friendly as I could.

“If you want, can I at least call you? I think it would be better to hear it directly from your own mouth.”

wait for a sec. I don’t think this is it. Suje: ‘Try talking to your girlfriend directly.’ Isn’t this the tone of a blonde gangster who throws his cell phone while saying this?

He opened his mouth to quickly correct himself, but his eyes were already rolled over and bloodshot. It did not appear to be an intelligent being that could be discerned.

“This bitch… !”

“Stop!!”

The long spear blade that suddenly intervened accurately blocked the stabbing point of the knife.

As I twisted my body sharply to get out of the path of the sword, I saw the owner of the spear.

Tall height and beautiful features. He had long, flowing black hair and looked like he had ‘main character’ written on his forehead, and he was someone I knew well.

5 years ago, I started as an S-level skill holder. An undefeated expedition leader who has steadily built a reputation. The king of the gate, who is said to freeze monsters just by standing still.

Because they never appear in the media and consistently target only the gate. A person who has recently become a celebrity and is considered a role model for hunters to follow.

When that man, Jin Do-won, appears. The conference room suddenly became noisy.

“Oooot!! Is it true!!”

“Aaaah!! Let’s make a baby with me!!”

“Hey, that guy is pretty good!!”

… It was truly a difficult reaction to hear. Do all celebrities live their lives hearing stories like this?

I looked around the audience with a puzzled face. Where are the hunters who shed sharp anticipation? People who had suddenly become extras were cheering.

And the man in the vigilante uniform was no exception. He suddenly drops the knife from his hand and falls to his knees.

“Keuheuk… I was foolish! The grace that made me realize my foolishness, I will never forget it!!”

As I listened to the sound of loud wailing, I became truly delirious. I don’t know what’s happening all of a sudden. At least it wasn’t a normal situation.

Jin Do-won, who was looking around with a frown on his face, looks at me. That too, very clearly. I started staring very intently.

… Isn’t it because of the available skills? You probably found something in me, a possibility that you don’t really want to understand, right?

I hesitated and took a step back, squeezing my buttocks tightly. Jin Do-won spoke in a heavy voice.

“Are you not cheering?”

ah. Nope. I guess I was just a patient with excessive self-consciousness.

I could understand him. Because mental illness was Hunter’s friend. That’s why I smiled and shook my clenched fist.

“Woo… Wow… Cool, cool, cool… .”

Suddenly, disappointment appeared on Jin Do-won’s face. He lowered the spear he was extending. With the brisk steps of a truly hero, he returned to the corner of the venue.

“Woooo!! Damn it’s cool!!”

“Make a baby with me!!”

“Damn, that guy! He’s even merciful!!”

What on earth is that person so cool and merciful? And I had no way of knowing whether saying “let’s make a baby” had become some kind of generally accepted exclamation without my knowledge.

so that. Naturally, my expression couldn’t help but become distorted as I looked at Jin Do-won’s back.

I glanced over and looked at the vigilante. They were wailing loudly and even bowing in that direction.

“What on earth… ?”

Amid the endless cheers of extras. My voice muttering softly was drowned out.
