The clear eyes revealed beneath the sloppy mask shake violently.

Did you really try to fool my eyes with that flimsy thing? ?

“… “I think you’re looking at the wrong person.”

Denial heard too late.

Hehe, it’s true.

I guess you were planning on fooling me with that damn mask.

It wasn’t just the mask that needed to be addressed.

“Your voice is completely different from Seoyeon’s?”

If you were going to speak, you should have modulated your voice somehow, Seoyeon.

“Oh, it’s not like that. I don’t know that kind of person… .”

“… … .”

It’s late, you bastard.

Did he see that my eyes were getting colder and colder and decide that it would be difficult to avoid the situation by just covering up?

“Okay then, that’s enough.”

The guy hurriedly turns back, making a noise.

And then I take my steps towards the alley in front of me.

Where is it running away?

The moment when I was raising my magic power to block the narrow road by building a wall with earth magic.

“at there.”

Grumble!

A familiar voice echoes around him, and at the same time, a huge wall of flames rises in the alley he is about to pass.

“… … .”

“… … .”

A voice filled with cold anger that sends chills down your spine just by hearing it.

“Uh, um.”

Seo Yeon-ah.

I think you’re in big trouble.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Day 1 situation has ended.

And that was a whopping two hours ahead of the scheduled time.

Why?

The cold anger of the mother, who saw her daughter wearing a sloppy mask and fighting Kraken Jr., poured out on the strange monster.

That’s very good.

Aside from the fact that the operation ended quickly and time was frozen, it’s time for Seo-yeon to get scolded.

No matter how fearless you are, how can you even think of going toe-to-toe with Kraken Jr.?

Seoyeon and I, who were caught at the scene, were immediately taken to the Haenam surveillance battalion.

… When I think about it, why am I here?

“Hey… “Sister, I was wrong.”

“Quiet.”

In one corner of the conference room, Juyeon, who had been called by my sister, is kneeling.

Even both hands are raised.

To kneel and raise your hands at that age… , this is a truly precious scene.

“I should have noticed when you suddenly said you were sorry… .”

“lol.”

“I told you to be quiet.”

“yes… .”

Han Joo-yeon sinks quietly.

She glances at me sitting in the conference room chair with a red face.

I’m embarrassed so I do that.

Well, I’m in charge of the university’s medical room, so it would hurt my pride to do something like that in front of just one student.

“ha… , okay. “Juyeon, I don’t think you forced Seoyeon to come here.”

Han Joo-hee lets out a deep sigh.

Her sharp gaze turns to Seo-yeon, who is squirming with a very shabby mask in her hand.

“Seoyeon, you… , say it.”

“… … .”

“Why did you even trick your aunt into coming here?”

“that… .”

It will be difficult to get the words out.

There is no way we can talk about the inexplicable characteristic of ‘a person with qualities.’

No, if I was going to say it in the first place, I would have done it right away.

In the end, to get over this situation, you have to come up with a plausible excuse.

He can’t lie.

Except when it comes to your dad.

The longer she can’t answer, the more anger builds up on Han Joo-hee’s face.

“Why don’t you speak quickly?”

“… … .”

Despite the continued criticism, Son Seo-yeon kept her mouth shut.

This is going to be a really big problem.

“Seoyeon, you really… .”

ah.

In the end, four months passed.

The magic around her begins to turn red.

At the same time, the temperature soars.

I could see sweat beading on his forehead, so he seemed quite angry.

“Are you saying you’re not going to tell me? good.”

Regardless of the hot temperature, her eyes became increasingly colder.

It seems like a decision has been made.

Eventually, her pursed lips fell.

“If you’re going to do as you please, Mom has no choice but to do as she pleases.”

Seoyeon’s eyes are shaking violently as she looks at her mother.

I felt anxious, as if I already knew what she was going to do.

What on earth is happening like that?

“I will submit a letter of withdrawal to school as soon as this matter is completed, so please know that.”

“… mom.”

When Seo-yeon called in a low voice, Han Ju-hee continued speaking in a more somber voice, as if she would not give up.

“If you had turned a blind eye to me leaving the Magic Tower and arbitrarily enrolling in a Korean university, you wouldn’t have had another accident.”

hmm… .

Seoyeon’s hand holding the mask is trembling.

It looks like he’s trying to suppress something… .

“I have no intention of dropping out.”

A calm tone of voice spoken while barely suppressing one’s emotions.

However, Han Ju-hee did not even try to listen to what her daughter said.

“Do you think I can’t make you drop out without your doctor?”

It’s truly unfortunate that she is an S-class hunter and the owner of the Magic Tower.

Request for expulsion regardless of the student’s will… , No, a person in power who can force.

Perhaps all you need to do is make a direct phone call to the university president or vice president.

Seo-yeon’s trembling spreads even further at her self-righteous remarks.

I don’t know if they know my daughter’s condition, which is on the verge of exploding.

Han Ju-hee did not stop and spoke one more word.

“Whether you return to the Magic Tower or think about something else from now on, it’s up to you.”

That means that the profession of hunter itself will not be permitted.

After finishing what she had to say, Han Joo-hee turns away.

The moment when Son Seo-yeon’s anger that she had been holding in towards her was about to explode.

“That won’t work.”

I stepped out.

“… … ?”

Thanks to this, the atmosphere became even more strange.

Seo-yeon, who had been raising her anger from the beginning, was dazed for a moment, and Joo-yeon, who was sitting on her knees and listening to the mother and daughter’s story with a restless expression, had an inexplicable smile on her face.

The person I was ending my sentence with, Han Joo-hee… , glaring at me with a menacing expression.

At the same time, the surrounding temperature, which had dropped slightly, rapidly soars again.

Hmm, it’s hot.

He created a large block of ice in his grasp and lightly placed it on the back of Juyeon’s neck.

“Heee… , Si, cool.”

Juyeon has been very weak to heat since long ago.

Han Joo-hee’s face, who was watching this eccentric act, became even more distorted.

“I thought you were someone who could tell what to wear and what not to wear… , I guess it wasn’t.”

To put it in new generation terms, you’re asking me if I’m not giggling, right now?

She may not feel like my meddling is valid at all, but I don’t.

Even though it’s like this, I… .

“Seoyeon plays an important role on my team. “Core team members may leave, but the team leader can’t just suck his fingers.”

She’s the team leader of the team she belongs to.

I thought it was a sufficient justification, but it doesn’t seem to have made any sense to her.

“you… “Do I look funny?”

The temperature gets even hotter.

Now, it has reached a level where it cannot be resolved even with the word hot, it is literally hot.

The ice that was placed on Juyeon’s neck melted and disappeared in an instant.

By the way, those women also talk really strangely.

“How can you look down on the world’s S-class hunter?”

We clearly know how powerful an S-class hunter is, so how can we look down on that?

If that were the case, neither the mouse nor the bird would disappear without us noticing.

I feel like she has changed a lot.

How could he accept and act as if it was a challenge to his power and authority just because a junior or weak person spoke back to him?

“However, I think Hunter Joohee Han is disciplining her daughter in the wrong direction.”

“Bad discipline? under… !”

The cold gaze is mixed with mockery.

“You, who have never experienced parental discipline, on what basis do you judge that?”

oh.

This hurts quite a bit.

You can’t even say to a person’s face, ‘What do you know about orphans?’ I never thought I would cast .

what… , It stings, but that’s it.

It’s been so long since I became an orphan, and I don’t even feel the need anymore.

I tried to ignore what she said in a relaxed manner, but… .

“… sister!”

Han Ju-yeon, who was being punished for kneeling in a corner and raising her hands, bursts out screaming.

… Why is he like that?

“You’re talking too harshly!”

Han Joo-yeon comes to my defense with a very angry expression.

“You’re missing, Han Ju-yeon.”

The younger brother who always showed his weak side to my older sister.

“No, I can’t stay still this time.”

For the first time, she raised rebellion against her older sister.

In most cases, regardless of right or wrong, you always say, ‘I was wrong, sister!’ What kind of wind blew at the guy who was lying face down while doing this?

The fighting gaze looking at my sister is like looking at a gladiator in the Colosseum.

“What I just said was clearly something I shouldn’t have said. “I apologize to Dojin, sister.”

“Telling me to leave… “Didn’t you hear?”

A haze rises around Han Joo-hee.

As if the anger gauge has finally reached the ceiling, the heat rises rapidly.

When trying to raise the temperature to cool down a little.

“You answered that you couldn’t stay still this time.”

Starting from Juyeon’s center, the red-hot magic power gradually regains its true color.

No, it does not regain its original color, but becomes stained with another color.

When you look at it, the magical power turns dazzlingly white and fights against the red magical energy, lowering the temperature around it.

“Han Joo-yeon, you… ?”

A look of surprise flashes across Han Joo-hee’s expression, which was filled with anger, as if she couldn’t bear it this time.

And that goes for me too.

The magic power around me resonates with my emotions and boils over.

This is impossible unless you become an S-class hunter.

In other words… .

“It hasn’t been long since I climbed. “I was planning to talk about it once this incident was over.”

“… … .”

Han Joo-hee, who had been quiet for a moment at her words, radiates heat again.

“So, now that you’ve reached S-class, you’re saying you want to compete with me?”

Upon hearing this, Han Ju-yeon’s expression shows a sense of desperation.

“sister… “You’ve really changed a lot.”

“… what?”

Han Joo-hee is greatly shaken by her younger brother’s words that she has changed.

“My older sister wasn’t like this. Of course, even back then, I was fiery when I got angry, but… “At least he didn’t look down on people and look down on them with such an overbearing attitude.”

That’s certainly what she was like back in the day.

He only got angry when he had a clear reason, and he never treated people in such a high-handed manner.

On the contrary, he was a warm person.

Yes, like a handful of warm flames lit on a cold day.

Her eyes shaking violently.

But it was only a moment.

“… People change as they get older. “Whoever it is.”

That is correct.

Everyone is bound to change.

However, you have changed so much.

It’s unavoidable, to the extent that it’s hard to understand even through the laws of nature.

At her words, which sounded like self-justification, Han Ju-yeon stretched out her arms and pulled Seo-yeon towards her.

“I will take care of these two while they are here.”

“… … ?”

No, there.

I understand that you are taking care of Seoyeon, but why am I suddenly… .

“If a problem arises because of this, I will take responsibility for that too. “After all, I was the one who brought Seoyeon here.”

“Han Joo-yeon.”

Even when her sister called, Juyeon Han did not stop talking.

“Don’t ask me to drop out of school. If my sister really comes out like that… , I might really hate you.”

I hate you.

The ending is truly one-note.

“Guys, let’s go.”

Han Ju-yeon walks past my older sister, holding Seo-yeon and I tightly in her arms.

Suddenly, as I was being led by the guy’s hand and left the conference room, I caught sight of Han Joo-hee standing still.

For the first time in my life.

Her shoulders looked thin.
