“What if I just send it back!”

Jeong So-ra, the guild scout of [Changcheon Swordsman], had a headache.

The E-class hunter she discovered this time… Her plan to gently lure Eunha to her guild went awry from the first step.

“Didn’t I always say that talentless idiots don’t deserve my education?”

“I told you to just hold on to me somehow!”

It’s late in the evening.

Jeong So-ra, who heard the news and rushed to the ‘Changcheon Hunter Academy’, grabbed the Mana Studies professor who was preparing to leave work and lost her temper with all her might.

“Why should we accept someone who takes three years to be promoted to E-class and who can’t even feel ‘mana’ yet? In a place that boasts the highest pass rate for promotion exams?… What would other academy students think?”

“It’s something decided by the guild!”

Professor Manahak looked at Jeong So-ra with a sad face.

It was the exact opposite attitude from when he faced Eunha in the morning.

okay. It’s decided by the guild.

Insane recovery that even hinders your own muscle growth.

Since three years ago when he first took the promotion exam… he looks like he hasn’t aged at all.

[Changcheongeomga], which discovered the possibility of immortality through Eunha’s [Self-Healing] skill, wanted to recruit her.

So, Jeong So-ra gifted a free ticket to ‘Changcheon Hunter Academy’.

Because his desire to become a hunter was unusual.

As soon as the one-month free course was successfully completed, they were going to give me a year’s worth of free course tickets.

He is a poisonous man who has attempted the E-level promotion exam 30 times with his devastating physical abilities. Wouldn’t that be a mental illness?

Therefore, it was calculated that if the guild fully supported hunter activities, it would be possible to make Eunha into a [Changcheon Swordsman].

But it was ruined.

“Just because I saw your face, I sent you back without saying anything harsh. Otherwise, I would have hurled all kinds of curses at you.”

“What about my face? Who doesn’t know that I’m just nervous because Eunha is pretty!”

“……Hmm. Anyway, I’ll go.”

The Mana Studies professor, who swaggered as if it was none of his business, left without blinking at the B-class hunter’s anger.

There was a confidence that no matter what he did, he would not be fired from the academy.

Even if the contract with the company’s business partner breaks down, I wouldn’t be this upset.

Scouter Jeong So-ra slammed her fist on her desk to vent her anger.

[Euncheon Academy] is the best academy in name and reality, spending a lot of money to hire former professors.

The pride of both professors and students in the academy is sky-high.

It’s a good thing. Because pride is like a stake that supports a person’s heart.

But if someone else’s foot trips on that stake, it is now just an unnecessary obstacle.

And today, Jeong So-ra’s foot tripped on a stake called pride and she fell.

“Ha… Eunha, please answer the phone…”

Jeong So-ra left the academy and called Eunha impatiently.

I need to apologize or something. You can’t just miss that shining gemstone.

If the academy doesn’t work, I plan to take private lessons. If that doesn’t work, Jeong So-ra herself plans to stop by the cafe every day and teach Eunha.

He is such a talent that it would be a shame to lose him to others.

– Yes? hello?

“Eunha! Is it okay to call for a moment?”

Fortunately, I received a call shortly afterwards.

A beautiful voice that makes my heart beat faster just by hearing it… Your voice is prettier than the last time we met at a restaurant.

Are they being managed somehow?

“I’m so sorry! I heard you got kicked out of the academy! I took responsibility…”

– Ah… it’s okay. I don’t care. It’s because I’m not good enough.

Eunha’s voice filled with laughter comforts Jeong So-ra’s troubled heart.

As if she was taking a shower, the sound of the shower could be heard behind Eunha’s voice.

– It’s really okay. Although I couldn’t use the free course ticket, I was well received by Jeong So-ra. I will do my best to take the promotion test on my own.

“No, Eunha! I’ll help you! Well… do you want to meet us first and talk? How about that restaurant from last time!”

The sound of a shower.

The sound of something being torn apart.

A subtle noise invades Jeong So-ra’s hearing.

ㅡ Ah… the restaurant… it’s nice… Ah, my head hurts.

“Eunha? Hello?”

ㅡ … … Haha, sorry. I guess I was thinking about something else for a moment.

Crackling…

A sudden noise.

Sora Jeong asked as she switched phones.

Eunha answered in a laughing voice.

The unpleasant sound of fingernails tearing flesh contaminates the eardrums.

– I’m sorry, but I don’t think the restaurant will work. I actually hate meat.

“Huh? I definitely ordered a steak the other day… No, I understand. Then let’s find another restaurant! I know a lot of delicious restaurants, right? I’m sure there will be one you like!”

– Yes… Ah, the head…

“Are you okay, Eunha? Are you feeling unwell?”

– No… I just thought of something to do… I’ll hang up the phone. I need to practice nursery rhymes.

“A nursery rhyme, Eunha?”

– If you don’t want to be embarrassed in front of the kids, you have to practice in advance.

Pirorong…

The call has ended.

The unpleasant noise suddenly stops.

what? Are you feeling unwell?

Jeong So-ra frowned and looked down at her cell phone.

For a moment… her phone goes out of range and then returns to normal.

‘What happened?… Anyway, it saved me an hour. ‘I’m glad Eunha is nice.’

Although it makes me a little nervous because he smiles and laughs so much, it makes me very comfortable dealing with him.

With that appearance and that personality, many people would cry.

Jeong So-ra summarized her future plans and reflected on Eunha’s beautiful voice.

Sweeping my arm, which had grown out with chicken skin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Refreshing morning!

A back that feels like it might break!

Eunha went to work at the cafe, stroking her back, which was even more stiff than usual.

My legs didn’t have much strength today, so I somehow managed to walk, shaking like a newborn deer.

‘I had a headache yesterday… but it got better after a good night’s sleep. After all, a good night’s sleep is the best.’

Yesterday, after going to Hunter Academy, I felt dizzy as if there was a fog, but now, surprisingly, I feel fine.

It feels like all the bad thoughts have been swept away by a tsunami.

I felt like my mental strength, which had been depleted, was completely recharged overnight.

Is it because of ‘something’ that comes every night?

Eunha started the day with a clearer mind than ever.

“……Eunha.”

However, within 30 minutes of going to work,

Eunha was held in Ban Harin’s arms and had to be pounded until she was satisfied.

What is this?

“Mr. Banharin. This is so embarrassing.”

“Please keep your mouth shut. Let’s play games on the laptop with me today.”

“I work.”

“This is my job.”

Ban Harin took a seat at the same table as always. Eunha, who was sitting on her lap like a princess, stamped her feet and struggled.

However, because Ban Harin’s hand was wrapped around her waist, Eunha was unable to move with her weak strength.

Why is it suddenly doing that? The sense of distance is several times closer than usual.

Eunbangul must have thought Ban Harin was strange, and he came scurrying over to me, twitching his rabbit ears in displeasure.

“What are you doing? Eunha has to work with me, so let her go!”

“…Eunbangul. I think you should see this.”

Ban Ha-rin nodded slightly, grabbed Eunha’s wrist in his arms, and rolled up her sleeve while saying “excuse me.”

Then, last night, the wrist that had been torn open to feel ‘mana’ was revealed with a terrible scar.

ah. Could it be because of this? Eunha, who was grabbed by the wrist, hurriedly lowered her sleeve with an expression of frustration.

It was obviously covered with a bandage, but when did they take it off?

She pursed her lips as she looked at Baeul-i, who seemed to be shocked and covered his mouth with both hands.

Uncomfortable with the girl’s gaze, Eunha turned her head.

I made eye contact with Nari Kang, who was quietly observing in the kitchen.

I closed my eyes with a confused mind.

This is why I hate [self-healing].

I wonder if the recovery rate is applied differently depending on the severity of the wound. Things like the heart recover quickly, while skin scars only disappear completely after a day or two.

This is really embarrassing for Eunha, who doesn’t want to worry others.

‘Hmm… Should I have done it with a knife? Then the scar wouldn’t have been visible.’

Let’s think positively.

Just don’t get caught next time.

Because failure is the mother of success.

“……That academy. Where is it?”

The rabbit girl trembled after receiving yesterday’s events from Banharin.

Realizing that Eunbang-ul’s face was turning into anger, Eunha waved her scar-covered left hand and reassured the girl.

Suddenly, I became someone who committed self-harm because I heard harsh words at Hunter Academy.

It’s a pointless misunderstanding.

I hope you don’t treat people’s mentality like soft tofu.

“No, it’s not what Baeul thinks.”

“It’s not something.”

“It’s just… I couldn’t go to the academy anyway, so I wanted to feel ‘mana’ on my own. So, while I was thinking about it, I just slightly tore my wrist.”

“…….”

“It’s true. It doesn’t hurt at all… Look at this!”

To show that it didn’t hurt at all, Eunha tried to tear her scar-filled wrist with her fingernails right in front of the girl.

But Ban Harin’s hand reached out silently and grabbed both of her hands.

The bunny girl’s face becomes intricately distorted.

“……Really, it’s okay, right? Isn’t it difficult? If you don’t tell us, we won’t know.”

“How many times do I tell you it’s okay? Are you going to get angry if I keep saying that?”

“You don’t even know how to get angry?”

“Hey, is there anyone in this world who doesn’t know how to get angry?”

Eunha was difficult to understand. Why is he making that kind of expression?

They’re making too much of a fuss because they only tore their wrists a few times.

okay.

Compared to having my whole body sawed off by the [Red Woman]…

It’s really nothing around the wrist.

Unlike yesterday, I thought so with a refreshed head.

“…Sister, go home right away… No, don’t do anything today, just stay at the cafe. Play games with Harin.”

“Please leave it to me. My laptop is always top-of-the-line.”

“Nari, you get off work first. The cafe will be closed today.”

“Yes, sir! Then, I’ll go right away! Stay healthy, Eunha!!”

Kang Na-ri, who sensed the atmosphere, quickly changed her clothes and left work.

Soon after locking the cafe door, Baeul fell down on Eunha’s lap.

Eunha was already on Ban Harin’s lap and looked strange, but the two didn’t care and shared their body heat with Eunha.

What on earth?

Eunha just tilted her head as she held Baeul in her arms like a beloved doll.

… … .

After that, I only played games on my laptop.

The laptop that Ban Harin always brings to the cafe. There were all kinds of games installed on the desktop.

When on earth does this person work?

“Bangul. Are you really going to close the cafe?”

“Oh, what are you doing, sister? You should jump there! Why are people so slow!”

“You try it.”

“Look! Like this!”

For some reason, both Ban Harin and Eun Bangul are very sloppy in their work.

Is it that easy to make money?

Judging from the fact that Na-ri Kang also became a debtor by using private loans, she is not a healthy person either.

Ban Harin doesn’t go to the association but goes to work at a cafe every day.

Eunbangul closes the cafe door on his own.

Kang Na-ri, a former creditor who uses private loans first when she gets a number wrong.

Looking at it like this makes me laugh out loud.

How did these people come together?

‘In the end, am I the only normal person…’

Even for the sake of the remaining three who are not healthy,

Eunha pledged to stay sane as much as she could.

It was a refreshing day.

… … .

… … .

“Welcome, Miss. Is your head okay?”

“Ah, hello, old man. It’s always the same for me… but do you know how to use ‘mana’?”

“Hehe. How can I handle such a strange energy?”

5pm.

Eunha left work a little earlier than usual and returned to ‘Saetbyul Apartment’.

I exchanged greetings with the elderly security guard who was making clay dolls in the security office, and then took the elevator, dragging a suitcase containing the [Black Book].

It was fun today too.

Perhaps because my head was refreshed, the three of us had a great time with Bang and Ban Harin.

I was playing a laptop game at a closed cafe without the customers knowing… It felt like sneaking into school with my friends and playing a fighting game on the classroom computer during a cold winter vacation.

Even though Eunha didn’t have any friends… I guess that’s roughly how it felt.

‘huh? The doll is missing again today.’

When I arrived at the 9th floor, I found a stuffed toy lying in the apartment hallway.

A cute rabbit doll with big button eyes. There shouldn’t be anyone in this apartment anymore… Could it be that [Bug Princess] left it behind?

Even in horror movies, you shouldn’t mess with things like dolls.

After reflecting on whether there were any ‘rules’ related to the [Black Book], Eunha left the doll where it was and passed by.

‘Ha… I wanted to go to Hunter Academy.’

As I looked out the apartment window, a thought occurred to me.

Because it is summer, the longer days are slowly fading away.

The sunset will set soon.

The more I think about it, the more I regret it.

I wanted to go to Hunter Academy.

If you want to become a D-class hunter, you need to learn ‘mana’ as soon as possible.

(Go back. We can’t make you a hunter.)

Puzzle.

Eunha bit her lip as she thought back on the words of the man named Professor Manaology.

The fishy taste of iron paints her refreshing mind red.

‘Yeah… I thought there wouldn’t be a teacher?’

Let’s think positively.

Eunha looked up at the sky that was slowly turning red.

I bite my torn lip harder, and the blood drips down my chin and onto the floor.

What is an academy? It is a place to learn knowledge.

What is knowledge? It is a collection of information that someone has discovered.

And, it’s someone’s wisdom made to look good.

‘… … It’s been a while. Should I go for a walk in the park?’

Now that I remember, let’s go right away.

Eunha turned and left the apartment.
