Lunch hour.

All members gathered in Heonjahwi’s club room.

Actually, it’s not like today or tomorrow that everyone will gather in the eastern room and chat.

“Why did you ask us to meet today?”

The significance of today is that everyone was gathered together with a clear purpose, not to kill excess time.

For the first time since the club was founded, I stand in front of them as president, and not as anything else.

“Now, everyone, pay attention.”

Lim Na-eun, whose eyes shine brightly, ready to follow anything I say.

Son Seo-yeon shows off her serious attitude and respect for others.

Elena looks dazed and it’s hard to read what she’s thinking.

From the naturally sharp eyes to the provocative feeling of Shin Yu-jeong.

Four pairs of eyes with vastly different charms turn in this direction.

“Hmm… , The reason I asked you all to gather like this today… .”

“what. “Why the sudden politeness?”

“Phew… “It’s awkward, Dojin.”

“If it’s because of me, you can just take it easy… .”

“I’m sexier when I speak informally…” , no, I think it’s better, yes!”

Four tackles, starting with Shin Yu-jeong.

okay.

informal language is good, that’s it.

“The reason I asked you all to gather is because of the second quarter hunter qualification exam that is not far away.”

The four people make mysterious expressions as soon as they finish speaking.

“Why is it suddenly the second quarter?”

“… “Aren’t we taking the second test in the fourth quarter?”

The number of times you can take the qualification exam given each year is two.

Since one of them was missed in the first quarter, everyone must have planned to take the exam in the third quarter at the earliest, or the fourth quarter at the latest.

but.

“Yeah, no. “We will take the exam this second quarter.”

“Eck.”

“… “It seems that Do-jin is determined to ruin Elena and her house.”

“little… “Isn’t it too early?”

“I agree!”

Everyone reacted skeptically except for Lim Na-eun, who seemed to agree with anything I said and covered it up with the will to follow anything I said.

Well, I already expected this much.

“Now, I’ll explain the reason, so be quiet.”

The noisy atmosphere calms down in an instant.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, I began to bring out the reasons I had prepared in advance, one by one.

“First of all, it’s because you all have the qualifications to pass the hunter qualification exam.”

Our party trained more than any other party at a Korean university and set out to conquer dungeons.

“Elena and Yujeong have already become tanks that can rival the seniors at our school.”

Shin Yu-jeong and Elena are training addicts that everyone knows, and Son Seo-yeon is also no slouch.

“Sunbae Seoyeon, what… “If it weren’t for the trauma in the last exam, I would have passed right away.”

Our Naeun… , I taught you well.

If you give him the reward he wants and make him learn magic, he will practice until his magic power is depleted.

He even ended up in the infirmary several times due to exhaustion.

If I hadn’t been told not to overdo it, I would have collapsed several times more.

“The specifications are already in place, so my judgment is that there is no need to wait until the third or fourth quarter.”

Let’s put a period to the first reason, four people… , No, the expression on the faces of the three people except Lim Na-eun was half-confidence.

I feel proud that I already have the qualifications, but I also feel like I am doubting whether what I am saying is true.

As if she thought it wasn’t enough to say anything yet, Shin Yu-jeong asked.

“What is the second reason?”

The second one is also very important.

Perhaps even more important than the first.

“second is… , your current training is becoming ineffective.”

All four of them have reached a point where it is difficult to increase their abilities through simple training and a low-level dungeon that can be entered with a temporary license.

In this case, it is a hundred or a thousand times better to quickly pass the qualification exam regardless of your grade and conquer more diverse dungeons to build up experience and abilities.

“Definitely the increase in abilities is slow these days.”

“Elena only gained 1 stamina a month ago.”

“I think I’m at that point too.”

“I did it 15 days ago!”

Look at this.

Does it make sense for children’s ability levels, which are still at their peak, to increase by 1 per month?

This is all due to a lack of tension.

If you just run through easy dungeons, it’s easy to fall into mannerism.

In fact, there are many people who face such a slump and wither before they can even bloom.

The four people’s expressions aren’t bad.

After hearing the second reason, everyone seemed to have changed their minds and were showing positive expressions.

Then Seoyeon Son asked.

“Is there a third one?”

“You know. “This is probably the most important.”

“What?”

The most important reason why they must pass the hunter qualification test as soon as possible.

“I’m bored working as a hunter alone.”

I’m so bored, I’m so bored.

This is really important.

How much of a negative impact does loneliness have on humans?

This is especially true for hunters.

Loneliness means not having a comrade you can trust.

I meant to say that the anxiety and loneliness that comes from that can eat away at the hunter, so one must be very careful.

“… … .”

Why is everyone asking, ‘Is he crazy?’ Are you looking at me with that expression?

Saturday morning.

After getting ready to go out before the sun rises, I laugh out loud as I stand in front of the mirror.

“It’s always like this on days like today.”

As I gained this body, I thought I was losing Son Si-woo’s habits one by one.

When it comes to dungeon raid days, isn’t it true that you wake up at the crack of dawn to prepare?

“what… “Of all the habits I have, it’s the least useful one.”

Today is that day.

A day to conquer A-level dungeons with the Zodiac Guild.

With Juyeon’s decision-making power at stake, I accepted K’s designated request.

Actually, I thought about it a lot before that.

Since I knew they weren’t ordinary guys, I had to gauge whether they would be able to come back alive no matter what happened in the dungeon.

But when I found out that Juyeon was with me, all my worries disappeared.

“If you have an S-class buffer, you can come back alive even from hell at least once.”

So, I accepted the request in order to impress them a little more and build a proper relationship.

Why, isn’t there a saying like that?

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

It’s much better to keep those guys who give you a chill on the back of your neck in your field of vision than to keep them out of your field of vision.

That way, if something happens, you can respond quickly.

Isn’t it clear which ball is easier to catch between a ball flying outside of your field of vision and a ball flying within your field of vision?

“Whoa.”

Around the time I was calmly taking a breath and continuing to meditate.

Jiying-

A message arrived on your smartphone.

《Han Joo-yeon: If you’re ready, come out quickly! Sister, I’m in front of your house right now.》

“… … .”

I immediately look up and check the sky outside the window.

Just as dawn was breaking and the black sky was turning blue.

No matter how much of a dungeon attack schedule you have, it’s almost always time to sleep… .

Why did he send me a message as if he was sure I would be awake?

“… “That’s strange.”

As the number of contacts with Joo-yeon increases, more and more things that bother me begin to appear one by one.

What can I say… , It’s not so big that it gets stuck in your throat, but it’s kind of annoying.

But as this continues to pile up, it feels like it has become impossible to ignore.

“What on earth…?” .”

I don’t know.

Is it simply because my sister-in-law, Joo-yeon, expresses her interest in me and aggressively rushes towards me?

Or is there really some other reason?

“Let’s go out first.”

Now is not the right time to worry.

He said he’s waiting outside, so I have to go out and meet him first.

Clap

When I open the door and look down, I see Juyeon’s car, which I saw on the way down to Haenam.

When I went straight out of the building and knocked on the window, the guy waved his hand as if he had been waiting.

Following her gesture, I open the passenger seat door and get in.

“Hello, Dojin. Good morning?”

“yes… , I slept well, sir… “No, how did you know I was awake?”

I ask her a question that had been on my mind just a moment ago.

“Uh, uh… ? that.”

A slightly embarrassed expression.

But then he pretends nothing is wrong and continues talking.

“You woke up really early in Haenam too!”

“… “It was like that.”

“So I remembered it. “I think you’re the type of person who wakes up early when you’re raiding a dungeon.”

At the same time, he gave me a subtle look in his eyes and continued talking.

“My sister… , I remember everything about Dojin, and I try to remember it.”

“Hmm.”

I clear my throat and hurriedly turn my head at the sudden and embarrassing confession.

The atmosphere became so tense that it was impossible to ask any more questions, but the question was not resolved.

She says she figured out my habits in Haenam, but I don’t know.

I think it would be difficult to say something with certainty based on just that one thing.

I feel like I want to ask a little more questions.

“Are you going straight to the dungeon?”

I decided not to do that.

Even though something bothers me a little, the main character itself gives off a harmless feeling.

What would you say to a child whose eyes shine like that and who looks at people with affectionate gaze?

He’s even cursed because of me… .

“I’m going to eat first in the morning. and… “I have to stop by for a moment.”

“Where?”

“Hoho, you’ll find out when you get there. “Then shall we leave?”

“… yes.”
