“No… Junwoo is not there.”

An Yu-min muttered in despair.

no. It wasn’t just a feeling of helplessness.

To the point where the world felt sensational for a moment.

I was so filled with fear that it was difficult to even breathe.

“Was it all a dream?”

That was all I could say as I was lost in my emotions.

It was a very vivid dream.

I thought we wouldn’t be able to go together due to the loss in the semifinals.

Dream Sanctuary, which I went to with Lee Jun-woo.

It was Ahn Yu-min’s life bucket list.

And I was in that special place with Lee Jun-woo.

That dream was so vivid.

The feeling of Lee Jun-woo’s hand holding tightly was still there.

Above all, in my dream, the two of them are a couple.

They were lovers whose relationship progressed to the point where they even kissed and confirmed their feelings for each other.

There is no need for the life of a popular hunter.

It’s okay to not be a hero who protects people.

All An Yu-min wants is to be by Lee Jun-woo’s side.

“Huh… Ugh… Black…”

While I was struggling to catch my breath, tears flowed non-stop.

It was like that. Now that I woke up, a terrible sense of reality came over me.

In reality, Lee Jun-woo and her had no relationship.

No, it would have been better if we had never been in a relationship.

I didn’t know if this would be a relationship where we could start over from scratch.

‘It would be better… if we were complete strangers.’

But that wasn’t the case.

Rather, the relationship was like a broken piece of glass.

Unlike scattered puzzles.

It’s impossible to put it back together.

Also, An Yu-min broke everything on his own and hurt Lee Jun-woo with the fragments.

I thought about that mistake countless times.

He already apologized for that.

But An Yu-min intuitively knew.

Nevertheless, I can’t go back to my previous relationship with Lee Jun-woo.

Lee Jun-woo should not have been expelled like that in the first place.

A foolish choice blinded by jealousy was her original sin.

‘Now Junwoo is…’

You can tell that he is unwaveringly kind just by looking at the reactions of people around him.

Lee Jun-woo now is different from Lee Jun-woo when he was in high school.

Already a finalist in the competition.

Ahn Yu-min, along with Yoon Geon-woo, has attack skills that would be considered top-tier among active hunters.

Lee Jun-woo defeated her in a solo battle against himself.

As a result, his current evaluation is incomparable to before.

‘I… am getting further away from you.’

Moreover, the level of attention was not limited to Theia.

Now even the general public knows his name.

Some celebrities and idols even tagged his name on social media right after the competition.

Just like before, the time when Lee Jun-woo blindly looked only at himself has passed.

New women who, like him, did not hurt Lee Jun-woo.

And prettier women will also pay him a lot of attention.

“Other woman…”

That thought was decisive.

My heart is already falling apart.

It felt like everything was falling apart.

Those warm eyes of Lee Jun-woo that I saw in Dream Sanctuary, a dream a little while ago.

When you think of those eyes being directed at another woman.

I literally felt as if my entire body was being torn apart.

And the end of the happy dream from a little while ago came to mind again.

The image of Choi Hana smiling happily as she faced Lee Jun-woo.

“…… Haa… haa…”

My whole body trembled with anger.

Holding grip-

The hospital room was freezing with the ice mana she was emitting.

Everything was his fault.

I can’t blame Lee Jun-woo if he chooses another woman.

But Choi Hana was different.

Instinctively, he knew that Choi Hana was a different person from him.

He looked at himself, who always spoke of justice and heroism, and hated the pitiful gaze he gave.

I hated losing to Choi Hana more than dying.

Even worse is losing the person she loves most.

“Yumin, what’s going on!”

At that time, someone came into the hospital room.

The tears that had been flowing ceaselessly stopped at the sight of me.

‘okay. A dream… is just a dream…’

Still, the events before I fell asleep were now coming back to me.

Apparently, Lee Jun-woo came to visit me in the hospital room here.

When I opened my eyes, he wasn’t there, so I thought even that visit was a dream.

I didn’t even know he had come back after going to the bathroom for a while.

“Subordinate… Teacher.”

But An Yu-min had no choice but to despair.

It wasn’t Lee Jun-woo. The doctor in the nurse’s office called.

“Are you okay? what’s the matter? There was an explosion of mana…”

“Oh, no. I was checking my condition… I overdid it a bit…”

“I see. Is it okay?”

It wasn’t okay at all.

Although I still felt like I was going to die.

An Yu-min nodded.

And then I carefully asked Moon Soo-ha about that fact.

“Well… By the way, have you seen Junwoo? I thought I stopped by here for a moment…”

“Junwoo? If it’s Junwoo, you just came.”

At those words, An Yumin’s stern face brightened.

“Yeah, right? Where are you now?”

“Oh, that’s because you fell asleep after coming here. After a while, he answered the phone from someone and quickly left. We couldn’t talk much, right?”

However, I soon became discouraged by those words.

Maybe it was the perfect opportunity to talk to him alone.

But in the end, I couldn’t say anything and let him go.

Even a brief conversation was not allowed to An Yu-min.

“Anyway, I’ll check your condition again while I’m here.”

Sooha Moon said that, but it didn’t reach her ears at all.

Just thinking about Lee Jun-woo, who left.

I couldn’t help but tremble from the terrible despair that the broken relationship between the two could not be restored no matter what.

– How about accepting it now? You can’t do anything well with Lee Jun-woo on your own. Then how about giving your body to me instead?

And the voice in my heart that I never tried to listen to.

Only the damned villain’s voice.

Rather, she felt it more clearly.

***

Several days have passed.

It is now early May.

According to the original schedule, Theia should have been very noisy with the finals of the Academy Competition.

The schedule was postponed due to the recent terrorist attacks by villains that have become increasingly frequent in Seoul.

‘Well, actually, the situation is quite the opposite.’

Although it is not a terrorist attack by a villain, it is closer to a coup by an apostle of Valhalla.

In fact, the current Hunter Association has lost all influence.

In the first place, the organization that had greater influence in the hunter world than the Association was the Apostles of Valhalla.

The apostle actively absorbed the underworld and further expanded his power.

There was no force anywhere in Korea right now that could keep the apostle of Valhalla in check.

‘no. If you don’t have it, just create that force.’

If your identity is a villain.

In the Song Yu-hwan regime, which openly suppresses villains and the underworld mafia.

In the future, there will be no place to live.

Of course, become the dog of the apostle of Valhalla.

If you become a slave who does all kinds of dirty work, you might be able to survive.

Other people may not know.

There was a reason I could never do that.

Title Unknown.

My identity is always that of a villain.

The Unknown’s destiny is to reign at the top of the underworld.

‘All underworld forces have not been wiped out yet. So now is a good time to bring the remaining forces together.’

The two forces that will be the most helpful for that task.

Blood Jaguar and Crimson Teeth.

We have already established ties with those two forces.

So what I need to do right now is to further increase my influence in those two forces.

In that respect, things on the Blood Jaguar side were almost being sorted out.

Hwang Yong-gyun, the deputy boss and actual boss, acknowledged me as an unknown person.

And today was the day I officially confirmed my place in Blood Jaguar.

Additionally, Theia has a group training schedule starting next week.

Now we have achieved significant growth.

Following the academic schedule of one academy is. As a villain, it may feel like a waste of time.

It wasn’t so.

A few days ago, I confirmed it through Letisane in that dream room.

Ahn Yu-min’s identity. And the reason why you must score first place in the first semester final exam.

‘It’s different from the midterm exam. ‘Because the final exam is strictly an individual test.’

A special restraint that can control An Yu-min, who is becoming a villain.

That is the defense system that exists in Theia. It was Letisane’s Ark.

Letisane discovered how to use the ark.

It comes from the ancient continent where the world tree originated.

It was quite complicated to organize all the truths I heard from Letisane.

As far as attending the academy, the story was simple.

If you rank first through the final exam.

Ownership of the Ark can be taken over from the Ark system.

‘That authority is the key to taking all of Letisane’s remaining relics.’

Letisane wanted to prevent An Yu-min from becoming a complete villain at all costs.

‘An archmage who inherited the blood of Jinhyeol from the beginning. Letisane.’

That daughter is An Yu-min.

In the process of preventing that villainization. I didn’t know that I would end up falling An Yu-min into a swamp of despair.

It wasn’t a part-time job for me.

I just seek more power as an Unknown. There was absolutely no way An Yu-min’s emotions got involved in that matter.

So let me summarize briefly.

The one who participated diligently in the future academic schedule.

Rather, it was a shortcut to my ultimate growth.

‘Then we should prepare quickly. ‘Third awakening.’

I gathered my thoughts and headed to the meeting place.

I was planning on heading to Blood Jaguar’s office with her.

The meeting place is a bus stop quite far from Theia.

A woman with short pink hair and sunglasses was sitting there.

I snuck up on her.

“Did you wait long?”

Then, Choi Ha-na, who was disguised as Na Haring, looked surprised and answered me.
