There is only one reason to be confident in my claim.

Having experienced these characteristics firsthand.

A very interesting kid once came to the guild.

He recklessly came to the guild building and said something.

He said he would allow him to become a member of this shabby guild.

Although he was well over fifteen years old, he was a child who could not get out of middle school.

But apart from that, it has a very rare characteristic.

Was the name of the trait ‘Tyrant’s Gaze’?

It was a characteristic that instilled a strong sense of intimidation in those who looked at it and restricted their actions.

This child had the same problem as Elena.

Contrary to expectations that restricting the actions of enemies would make it easier for opponents, restrictions were imposed on both allies and enemies alike.

When the executives said that they couldn’t use it like that and wanted to let them go, I thought differently.

A trait is a superpower that can evolve depending on how much effort you put into it.

If so, wouldn’t it be possible to identify enemies through training?

So I trained with that kid for 6 months… , it didn’t work.

Through personal training with me, their basic skills and basic abilities improved significantly, and their characteristics became stronger based on their increased abilities, but it was still impossible to distinguish between them and their friends.

I wondered for a while what the problem was, but he said he would stop first.

If you’ve made it this far, there’s no hope.

I couldn’t bear to say that I should give up when I saw a guy who suffered from severe illness in his second year of middle school and lived believing that he was a tyrant in his past life, lowering his head helplessly.

So I said I would never give up, no matter if it takes a year or two… , then something interesting happened.

From that day on, I was the only one who was not limited by his gaze.

I got the feeling right.

Ah, I guess this wasn’t a problem with the characteristics.

“So what you’re saying is…” “Is this because Elena perceives all of us as enemies?”

“that’s right.”

She went through so many hardships in the distant, foreign land she came to to make money.

From language issues to dirty guys who are lured by her appearance to scammers who try to deceive her.

I can understand it to some extent now, but in the past, even that would have been impossible, so I wouldn’t have been able to get rid of the feeling of being alone.

As a result, I naturally isolated myself even more, and my distrust of others must have become deeply ingrained.

This is naturally reflected in their characteristics, and they perceive everyone as their enemy.

“Actually, it’s not her fault… , I guess it’s because of the ugly guys who want to take advantage of her.”

The atmosphere at the table immediately became solemn.

Sympathy for Elena, who suffered from living abroad, softened their hearts.

Elena smiled bitterly and shook her head.

“What Dojin said is correct… . “I’m scared.”

She continued speaking with difficulty.

“We have a lot of family at home. “I have five younger siblings and seven parents in total.”

A self-mocking smile appeared on Elena’s lips.

“My family is always hungry. So I came. “To study and make money.”

European academies, which have a strong military orientation, have severe restrictions on individual activities.

It makes no sense to make money when you can’t even go out freely.

For Elena, who wanted to become an excellent hunter and make money right away, Korea would have seemed like a land of opportunity.

“But Korea, it was different from what I expected. No, I was too stupid.”

I guess the reason why Elena called herself a fool was because she realized it too late.

That he was so caught up in his dreams that he couldn’t face reality.

I had forgotten that I had to adapt alone in a very different place, even though the language and lifestyle were different.

“I met a lot of bad people. so… “It’s hard to trust people.”

Elena’s expression as she lifted her head with difficulty was truly miserable.

“If what Dojin said is true… , my problem, it may not be fixed.”

The reason she has a sad expression is because she knows it herself.

In the current situation, it is not easy to trust people.

She, who has suffered many wounds, needs rehabilitation time to be able to trust people.

It’s time to surround yourself with good people and build trust and bonds with them.

“Elena is right. “It won’t be easy in the current situation.”

“Then what should I do…” ?”

Lim Na-eun asks in a worried tone.

The other two people’s expressions were also similar.

He doesn’t say anything, but he seems uncomfortable leaving her like this.

If I get this far, I’ve already achieved 90% of my goal.

Anyway, I made him accept her.

“It is difficult to change the perception of Elena, who suffers from distrust of humans, in a short period of time. However, if we use a shortcut, we can change some of our perceptions.”

“how?”

The eyes of the four women, including Elena, are focused on me.

Changing her perception is difficult, but it is also easy.

To be precise, this means that the level of difficulty varies depending on the extent and method of change.

In order to last for a very long time, it is better to hold the foundation very firmly, even if it takes time.

What we are talking about here is building a very deep trust and bond between us.

But let’s be friendly with each other when it comes to trust and solidarity! Do you think it will accumulate?

It gets deeper depending on the time we spend together, so it’s hard right now.

“It’s about changing the perception of who we are to Elena.”

Fortunately, there is only one place for Elena to delve into.

That is none other than the reason why she came to a foreign country a thousand miles away and was forced to adapt and live there.

“A being who brings definite benefits to Elena.”

This is the position we can realistically take right now.

How can we distinguish friends from enemies?

There are countless answers here.

But what is the simplest and easiest way?

Isn’t this a way to judge whether something is beneficial or detrimental to me?

If you bring me a benefit, you are an ally, and if you cause me a loss, you are an enemy.

The problem is that the relationship can be very shallow because it is calculated only in terms of profit and loss.

All you have to do is gradually add thickness with other things.

I also thought about reestablishing my relationship with Elena in this way.

What she needs right now is money.

So what if we become the target of financial gain?

“That’s why we have to conquer this dungeon, this word.”

The place where the team members are gathered together and the speeches are made is none other than a dungeon in Dongdaemun-gu.

It is a dungeon of level C difficulty.

The name of the dungeon is ‘Ant Cave’.

As you can tell by just hearing the name, small and precious ants appear.

Among C-class dungeons, this is one where you can make a lot of money.

The carapace of the ants shown here is quite hard, so it can be used as a useful armor material after simple work.

It is easy to handle, so it is a popular material for beginner blacksmiths, so it is in high demand and is perfect for making money.

I chose this with the intention of allowing Elena to earn a lot, and for both of us to earn well.

“What’s wrong with everyone’s expressions?”

The expressions on the faces of the team members who came out of the locker room wearing their gear were not very good.

It’s Saturday and I’m in a bad mood because I can’t rest.

“Do, Dojin.”

Lim Na-eun, who was trembling with a white face, spoke to me.

“Woah, can’t we go to another dungeon?”

“why?”

“Why, why! This is an anthill! “It’s swarming with huge ants!”

Despite the high earning potential, Ant Cave is not a very popular dungeon among hunters.

This is especially true among female hunters.

That’s because the ants here are as big as their lower bodies.

They even flock together in groups.

About ten to twenty people per group?

“Hey, you bastard!”

Shin Yu-jeong, who was standing cross-legged with a grim expression, suddenly runs up to me and grabs me by the collar.

“I thought you knew the right dungeon, but you chose an ant cave?!”

“What, you hate ants too?”

“Are you saying that?”

This is a bit surprising.

I never thought he would be afraid of insects.

Seo-yeon’s expression, sitting still and observing the situation, did not look very good.

He doesn’t say it out loud, but he seems nervous somewhere.

Everyone was in a semi-panic, but Elena was the only one who remained calm.

“Dojin, do you make good money here?”

“yes. “Of all the places we can go to at our level, we’ll probably be in the top three, probably.”

“Hmm… ! Is that so.”

Elena sniffles and stands up.

what.

Her eyes are strange.

“then Let’s go… ! “I make a lot of money here!”

Was it my mistake that the pupils changed into dollar signs?
