Hururup

Whoop

Hururup

Ji-hoon is scratching So-jung and Seol-hyeon’s insides as much as he can, giggling and inhaling delicious rice noodles.

The two women stare at the tanning man in front of him instead, leaving him feeling obnoxious.

“Wow… you two are truly beautiful when you see them up close. I’ve already seen it since you entered the store-”

“Go when they say something nice.”

Sojung growls lowly, warning the man.

“Kkkk…Hurup…Hurup ”

As Jihoon couldn’t hold back his laughter while eating rice noodles, Sojung and Seolhyun’s discomfort grew even more.

“No, don’t do that, you two are so pretty… Is this my first time doing something like this? I’m not the type of person who usually talks to someone like this first”

“Hey. Just go.”

This time, Seolhyun suppresses her anger as much as possible and warns.

“Is it because of this friend? Do we have to stay together forever? Friend…is it too far to eat it all?”

When there is no positive response from the two, the tanning man tries to blame Jihoon.

“Kkkkk, I ordered one more bowl. Don’t worry about me and just keep doing what you’re doing.”

“Hey!!”

“Hey!!”

Sojung and Seolhyun scream at Jihoon’s joke.

“Ah, why, it’s fun. Hururup Hururup”

Jihoon keeps joking around and gulps down all the rice noodles.

“It’s a bit annoying that you keep smiling…”

The tanning man must have finally realized that Jihoon is laughing at him, so he glares at Jihoon with a rather grim frown.

Then Seolhyun gets up from her seat and approaches the tanning man.

“Disturbing? What should I do if it bothers you? You”

The tanning man’s gaze, which was glaring at Jihoon, lands on Seolhyun, who comes and stands in front of him.

A waist that seems to be less than a handful between the bulging breasts and voluptuous buttocks.

The woman who stood up was a real-life goddess who not only had a pretty face but also a great body.

The man is mesmerized by Seolhyun’s body for a moment, but then he looks again at Sojung sitting next to him.

Flowing pink hair. Plump lips. For some reason, she looked very impressed, but that woman was pretty, so she wasn’t overly impressed by this goddess.

I could never, never give up easily.

“Ahaha… I’m not saying what I’m going to do. I’m just asking you to be a little more careful, but why are you so angry? You must be very close friends. I don’t think he’s my boyfriend-”

“kekekekekekeukkeuk”

Jihoon can’t hold back and starts laughing again.

The sound of his laughter will definitely reach the tanning man’s ears, and his facial expression will be visible.

He tries to ignore Sojung and Seolhyeon, determined not to let them go.

“Actually…I don’t mean to say this lightly…”

When the man started whispering as if he had pulled out a secret weapon, Jihoon responded with an exaggerated gesture of putting his hand on his ear.

“That friend waiting over there. I am an awakened person.”

“Yes?? Awakening~?”

Jihoon lets out an exclamation that is even more exaggerated than an exaggerated gesture.

“Ha…”

Sojung and Seolhyun touch their foreheads and sigh.

I’m awake, so what should I do…

For some reason, the triumphant tanning man begins to attack the girls even more fiercely, as if he doesn’t understand their reactions.

“Hunter Joe Hunter. I’m also planning to apply for a guild this time… You know that hunters make a lot of money, right? It may seem a bit snobbish to say this, but that guy is really talented.”

“Oh…talented person…”

Sojung and Seolhyun stayed still with pitiful expressions on their faces, but Jihoon kept teasing the man with a surprised expression and tone of voice.

“Hey…don’t keep interrupting-”

“It was you who intervened, not him”

This time, when So-jung even stands up and protests, the slightly intimidated man begins to wonder about their relationship.

Just looking at the arm, I couldn’t understand how that stupid-looking guy was with two crazy pretty women.

“Rice noodles are here”

“Yes, here! Here!”

When Jihoon’s additional order of rice noodles comes out again, Jihoon quickly takes his eyes off the man and begins to focus on the rice noodles.

“Now, my friend, new rice noodles have been released. Instead of acting like this here, let’s go over there and talk so your friend can eat comfortably.”

The tanning man was about to casually lead Sojung and Seolhyun, gently placing his hand on their waists.

Tduduk

Tduduk

“Ugh! Aaaa!!”

The tanning man was rolling on the floor, writhing in pain, and both of his wrists were strangely broken.

“Where do you put your hand”

“Where do you put your hand”

Sojung and Seolhyun click their tongues in unison.

“Ugh! My hand! My Soon!”

“Hurup… Hurup… Are you going to kick me right away just because you put your hand on my waist… Are you a psychopath? Whoop…”

Jihoon eats rice noodles and looks at the suffering tanned man with pitiful eyes.

Sojung and Seolhyun look at Jihoon with dumbfounded expressions and then sit down on either side of him.

“Psychopath? Is that what you’re saying?”

“Yes, Jihoon, I only broke it, but that was too much!”

Ji-hoon, who doesn’t even think about his own mistakes, cuts off his arms and legs when he thinks he’s a bad guy.

The two women were arguing.

“Hururup… ugh… I ate it all. I wake up first.”

When Jihoon finished drinking the soup from the freshly made rice noodles and stood up, Sojung and Seolhyeon tried to stand up too.

but

“You have everything left. Where are you following me? You can’t leave food behind. Hurry up and eat it all.”

“Hing”

“Hing”

The two women sat down in silence at Jihoon’s words and began to eat the remaining rice noodles.

The two looked strangely similar, like twins.

Ji-hoon, who left the store first, is followed by a member of the tanning company, a man named Awakening.

“Can I take your friend to the hospital?”

“Friends are just bastards.”

“Aren’t you also interested in those guys above? Why are you following me?”

“Those two… just look like they’re awakened. I’m in a shitty mood, so I think I’ll take my anger out on you.”

“Ah…really?…He’s honest…he’s an honest bully…should we go somewhere where there aren’t many people around?”

“Tsk, did this guy lose his mind? It’s a hit. Okay, let’s go, you bastard”

Jihoon and the tanning man’s awakened friend disappear into the back alley of the pho restaurant, and for a moment, a terrible scream rings out, telling the whole neighborhood to leave.

So-jung and Seol-hyeon, who finished eating their rice noodles late, recognize Ji-hoon’s location just by the sound and move towards him.

***

Hunter Management Association’s 12th basement floor

This is the lowest floor of the building, and the entire floor is filled with facilities exclusively for ranking matches.

In addition to the existing 32 rankers, 4 new participants

There were a total of 36 people participating in the ranking match.

Aside from them, there were quite a few people present due to the guild members of each ranker and the executives and staff of the Hunter Management Association.

Jihoon, who does not belong to a guild, received an earnest (almost threatening) request that he want to come to cheer, so he registered Sojung and Seolhyun as spectators and waited with them.

“Jihoon, don’t be nervous…try this once”

“What is this?”

“Cheongsimhwan”

“I won’t eat it. What kind of college entrance exam did you come to take?”

“Yes! It’s not some kind of college entrance exam, it’s Cheongsimhwan. Don’t be like that, just try this. Because I packed it all morning, right?”

Sojung takes out a lunch box with an expectant face for Jihoon, who rejected Seolhyun’s Cheongsimhwan.

“Oh? kimbap? Hey, let’s try it”

Seolhyun is glaring at Sojung with an angry look on her face at Jihoon’s reaction, and Sojung is puffing out her chest with a triumphant look on her face.

But in just three seconds, their expressions reversed.

“Ugh…kim…what is this in kimbap? Chicken breast? Did you put chicken breast in the kimbap?”

“Yes! It’s a nutritious food that also supplements protein!”

“What nutritious food is this salty? Do you want to supplement a lot of sodium? How can you make kimbap tasteless?”

Seeing Jihoon’s disgusted expression, Seolhyun smiles and Sojung gets angry.

Could it be that they both just came to have fun?

Jihoon didn’t think he would receive much strength from the support.

The method of the ranking match, which was not exactly known to the outside world, was simpler than expected.

point out and confront

Each ranker nominates a ranker of the desired rank and requests a match, and the match takes place in front of all rankers and officials.

If you look at it like this, it feels like dozens or hundreds of battles will take place, but

In fact, there are not that many competitions in ranked matches.

This is because hunters who are ranked high can feel the superiority and inferiority of themselves and their opponents to some extent just by watching the battle, even if they do not encounter each other directly.

This was the reason why rank changes were extremely rare and ranking matches usually ended in one day.

“Oh? What is this? If it were this simple, it wouldn’t take 10 minutes. I will nominate the number one ranker.”

“No, Hunter Kang…that rule applies to existing rankers…”

The guide calmly explains to Jihoon with a troubled expression.

“For new participants, there is no existing ranking data, so the only way is to advance one level at a time.”

“…So I have to fight with all 32 people?”

Is this person really aiming for first place?

The guide in charge of Jihoon was a veteran among veterans who had been in charge of guiding new participants in ranking matches for 9 years.

However, as soon as she heard the explanation of the ranking competition method, the absurd person who pointed out Hunter Jang Hyun-woo, who was ranked first in the rankings from the beginning, was a case that could not be found in her nine years.

“Then…is it not possible to ask all 32 people to come out at once?”

The guide grabs his pounding head and starts explaining the method again from the beginning.

This year’s ranking match would probably be the most tiring day of her nine years as a guide.
