As the midterms got closer, we started seeing each other more often.

This may not be the case at any university, but grades at Korean universities are directly related to the future.

Every March, large guilds receive countless applications for membership.

The number is roughly in the thousands to tens of thousands.

No matter how hard you try to recruit talented people, you can’t meet them all.

After all, the first thing they see is your resume.

What are the characteristics, what are the basic abilities, what is the dungeon attack history, etc.

Students at Korean universities add one more thing to that.

Just grades.

A place where the talents of Korean university students gather.

Overcoming numerous competitors and achieving high scores there is a medal in itself.

Some of the large guilds have gone so far as to create a separate selection process that unconditionally hires students who are in the top 20% of university grades.

Dungeon practice is one of the exams that carries the highest weight on grades.

If you spoil it here, it will be difficult to recover it anywhere else.

And then it got to this point.

We used to meet a couple times a week, but now we get together almost every weekday to train and go to dungeons.

“Elena! “The cover is a little late.”

“I’m sorry!”

The person who showed the most enthusiasm was none other than Shin Yu-jeong.

The fact that this guy is sincere about his job as a real hunter becomes more and more evident as time goes by.

I wonder if I’m studying tactics in my own way, and if there are ten things that bother me, I advise three to four of them to my team members and fix them.

“Senpai Seoyeon, magic is better than a sword in your current position.”

“ah… , okay?”

“… … .”

The fact that I spent a lot of time with them means that the time I spent with Seoyeon also increased.

At first, I was worried because it was so awkward and uncomfortable to meet and talk, but now it’s okay.

What can I say… , it still bothers me and catches my eye, but it doesn’t feel too much like when it was Son Si-woo?

So, lately, I’ve been more concerned about other things instead of emotions.

“Useup… “That’s not how you do it.”

The swordsmanship that Seo-yeon learned from watching on her own keeps catching my eye.

It tastes pretty good and seems to be used in the right places, but there are so many things that are lacking.

Presumably, he has a natural talent for seeing and learning things with his own eyes.

Those swordsmen probably learned it on their own after seeing me.

But the problem is that the current Son Si-woo is not me.

In other words, it was consistent with the meaning that he could no longer see Son Si-woo’s swordsmanship, which would have provided him with a clue to enlightenment.

Of course, I don’t know if it would be possible if our Jang Siu could handle my body perfectly… .

“Is that possible?”

I really don’t say things like this, but that’s because he’s such a bastard.

A lazy, indolent, and useless person who only sticks to the easy path.

what… , Just as each person has their own individuality, such a life is also respected as much as possible.

But my body doesn’t allow that.

My body must take the thorny path instead of the easy path, and be faithful and not lazy.

In other words, his personality and my body are the opposite of opposites.

I recently read an article about him on the Internet.

Did you make the excuse that you were tired and say you would take a sabbatical?

Because of Son Si-woo’s achievements so far, the public opinion is not bad.

“It wouldn’t be possible to run away for a year at best.”

There is a high possibility that his bad personality was exerted in a bad way.

I guess they pulled out the sabbatical card as if to run away for now.

Meanwhile, time passes by, and he doesn’t seem to be using the time he has earned to any good effect.

“Are you even thinking about changing it again?”

Perhaps he is waiting for the three years until the mutual non-aggression pact he arbitrarily signed ends.

He must have realized that Han Joo-hee, whom he likes so much, is a show window couple, and he must have also known that my life is not that happy.

After holding on somehow, wouldn’t he try to change his body with me again?

But what should I do?

“I don’t like it.”

Unlike him, I’m very satisfied with this body.

His face is handsome, and his height is slowly approaching his original body size.

wealth? honor? Things like that will come into your hands over time.

The talent this body has is so amazing.

I think it will probably be possible to get to the point where we can give him a blow in about three years, when mutual non-aggression ends and we can face each other.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

I almost burst out laughing, but I held back.

I’m curious and looking forward to it.

When you realize that the value of your body, which you discarded as useless and miserable, has a value of invincibility that cannot be compared to anything in the world.

What kind of expression will this guy make?

“Hey, Kim Do-jin! Without shooting magic… !”

Kwaang-!

“huh? why?”

“… No, I did well.”

It’s bland.

Today’s schedule is all finished.

The dungeon was successfully completed without any mistakes, Elena was happy to have made money, and the team became stronger.

After changing my clothes, I was about to go home with Shin Yu-jeong, but suddenly a familiar face appeared in front of me and blocked my path.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“Yes, there is.”

This is Seoyeon.

The guy’s gaze was directed at me, not Shin Yu-jeong.

Looks like I have some business to attend to.

“I heard it earlier.”

“… “What?”

“You said that when I used a sword. That’s not how you do it… .”

I almost got goosebumps for a moment.

It was so quiet that even Lim Na-eun, who was closest, couldn’t hear it. Did she hear it?

Somers, what is it?

“When you say that, it means you know a better way.”

“… … .”

“So tell me. “What you felt while watching my swordsmanship, everything to me.”

The eyes that always looked far away are now reflecting on me who is closest to me.

And that too with very strong enthusiasm.

* * *

Seo Jeong-hee woke up much later in the morning than usual.

The first reason was that I had no reason to wake up early because I was traveling, and the second reason was the hangover caused by the wine I drank while worrying deeply the night before.

“Ah, the head… .”

Even the pounding headache didn’t feel too bad to her.

It was a long time since I drank this much alcohol, so it was nice.

After thoroughly washing up, putting on makeup, and finishing breakfast, she looked at the scenery outside the hotel with eyes full of regret.

“It’s a shame. It was really good… .”

Originally, I wanted to continue it here and there for longer, but I realized I couldn’t just enjoy it.

After checking out, Seo Jeong-hee immediately booked a bus ticket.

Destination: Haenam.

This was where my husband was working.

‘Let’s go and meet first.’

Honestly, I don’t know anything.

The last time I saw my husband was on Lunar New Year’s Day this year.

How do you feel when you meet your husband, whom you haven’t seen in over half a year?

Also, what kind of expression will her husband make when he sees her suddenly visiting?

I had left it unknown until now, but now I wanted to know, I had to know.

I waited about an hour and took a bus for three hours to arrive in Haenam.

The southernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula.

My husband’s workplace was at the observatory at the far end.

This is not an observatory visited by tourists, but a special observatory built to monitor the sea.

Dungeons don’t just happen on the ground.

Even in the air above the sea, cracks appear.

And in the past, without knowing this, cities adjacent to the sea suffered great damage.

Since then, special observatories have been built in cities adjacent to the sea.

As the home of the sea crack monitoring unit that monitors the sea.

My husband was a member of one such watchdog.

A member of the surveillance team who is treated the same as a 7th grade civil servant.

“I guess he’s still working…” .”

My husband said.

Recently, as the number of surveillance officers has decreased, working hours have increased significantly.

Thanks to this, my eyes are focused on the sea regardless of day or night.

As she approached the observatory, an armed soldier blocking the barbed wire entrance signaled her to stop.

“This is a restricted area. “What business have you come here for?”

“ah… , I came to see my husband.”

“Could you please tell me your husband’s name?”

“This is Shin Hyo-seop.”

The soldier who was typing something into the small device he was wearing on his belt expressed his confusion.

“It says that Mr. Shin Hyo-seop came home from work today. Did you come here without contacting me?”

“ah… “Have you already left work?”

“Yes, there is a record that you left work an hour ago because you worked during the day shift today.”

At once, her pupils shook greatly.

Because what the soldier said was quite different from what my husband always said.

‘I said I was so busy… .’

He said he was so busy that he never left work on time.

I feel like I’m dying because I’m called to work every day, even on weekends.

A soldier standing a short distance away approached her, pretending to know her.

“Are you Hyo-seop’s wife?”

“Ah yes… .”

“Hey… “I really didn’t know that Mr. Hyo-seop had such a beautiful wife.”

Seo Jeong-hee’s ears perked up slightly.

Judging from his tone of voice, it seemed like he and my husband were quite close friends.

“Hoho, thank you. “You said you got off work, so I guess I should go to my husband’s dorm.”

When she bowed lightly and was about to turn around, the man stopped her.

“Uh, Hyo-seop must be at the bar right now.”

“Pub… “This?”

“yes. “There is a bar nearby that we often go to, and Hyo-seop is the most regular among us.”

Seo Jeong-hee chewed her lower lip without realizing it.

She asked the man, trying to put on a calm expression.

“The location of that bar… “Could you please let me know?”

“Yes, go straight along this road and then turn right…” .”

After thanking the man who gave her detailed directions, Seo Jeong-hee started walking.

My heart is pounding.

As the man said, the tavern wasn’t that far away.

It seems to have been a store opened from the beginning with the main customer base being the guards working at the observatory.

She slowly opened the store door and went inside.

A feeble light bulb emits light in the thick, dark atmosphere.

Seo Jeong-hee found her husband without difficulty.

I was clinking glasses with two guys who seemed to be my colleagues at a table not far away.

The anger was intense.

‘You told me you’d be too busy… !’

She was about to run over and ask a question, but soon stopped.

I suddenly became curious.

What is my husband’s real life like?

Instead of arguing, she changed her mind and decided to find out more about it today.
