As each day passes, I feel it more acutely.

    Yoon Si-hoo and Jin Ha-rin.

    The choice to train the two together was truly the best choice.

    “Senior… , How should we block attacks coming from the floor?”

    “ Put magical energy into your feet and step on the ground. Then, as the magic that permeates the ground spreads, you can completely remove the ice thorns that have risen up around you.”

    “Ah, that way!”

    We take a step forward by finding a solution after thinking and asking.

    “Senior, you also gave Sihoo the correct answer.”

    “… My role is to teach.”

    “Still.”

    “That’s why you too can become stronger. Because every time your move gets blocked, you discover a new move.”

    “That’s… , I see.”

    Boldly discard the destroyed move, install a new move, and take a step back.

    A constant sense of distance that is constantly maintained as if we are about to touch or not.

    “Go!”

    The enthusiasm that I can’t wait to reach.

    “Don’t come!”

    A venom fueled by evil that I don’t want to touch.

    Quang!

    He constantly encourages the growth of both people.

    When I look at this, my mind turns completely white.

    “… I don’t know anymore, I too.”

    Two trains running on designated rails have derailed and are racing across the ground.

    The expected growth rate was far exceeded, and the company is still on a steady upward trajectory.

    Therefore, it has become impossible to predict the future.

    What position will the two reach in just a few years?

    At the same time, I feel a sense of crisis.

    “… I guess we have to be harder on our kids too.”

    We must not neglect our children who are training a few years ahead of us.

    * * *

    Three months passed quickly.

    Meanwhile, the lives of Kim Do-jin and other guild members were very monotonous.

    Classes, training, and dungeon raids.

    Of course, there were countless incidents and accidents within just three words.

    The rapid growth of the two trainees also had a significant impact on existing guild members.

    The sense of crisis that if things continue like this could really catch up with them hit them on the back.

    Thanks to this, an untimely training craze broke out, and as a result, the celebrity disease that Kim Do-jin was worried about passed away without anyone catching it.

    The guild’s internal stability has become stronger without any stagnation, which is good news in many ways.

    In the meantime, the day they had been waiting for so long came.

    2nd quarter hunter qualification exam.

    The very morning that Yoon Si-hoo and Jin Ha-rin set their first goal.

    “I’ll be back!”

    “I’ll be there.”

    The two people leave the house after having an even more hearty breakfast today.

    “Ugh… , aren’t you so nervous?”

    “Yes, that’s right.”

    Both sides clearly looked nervous.

    One side was overly emotional, and the other side was overly down.

    It is such an important day.

    Kim Do-jin boasted, ‘If you two have the skills, you can pass without using an arm,’ but you never know.

    A person with tremendous talent suddenly appears, or you make a series of mistakes due to excessive tension.

    There are many dizzying situations that can arise if you are relaxed.

    I was walking down a quiet residential alley.

    “Suddenly I remember the old days.”

    “… When?”

    “When entering our university.”

    “Ah, that time.”

    “At that time, I thought I could take the hunter qualification exam only right before I graduated.”

    From then until now.

    For Yoon Si-hoo, everything felt like a dream.

    The reason why I joined the guild was because I caught the eye of someone who was ahead of me due to my inferiority skills, which made it difficult to count backwards.

    I also grew rapidly under his teachings.

    I grew up like that to the point where I confidently applied for the hunter qualification exam in my second year.

    “This isn’t a dream, right?”

    Sometimes I was afraid.

    I wonder if this is all a dream, an illusion that will disappear when I open my eyes.

    Every time I open my eyes in the morning, it has become a daily routine to check for any scars or calluses I made the day before.

    “Don’t worry, it’s not a dream.”

    On the other hand, my childhood friend was cool and cold-hearted.

    These days, it seems like he’s become more calm than before.

    Some people say they don’t like her coldness, but Yoon Si-hoo knows.

    The fact that she just wrapped herself in coldness as a means to survive stronger than anyone else.

    So, when I watch it, it feels both sad and amazing.

    But something strong will break someday.

    Yoon Si-hoo always hoped for this.

    I hope that sometimes she can rest comfortably on my shoulder.

    But is that just words?

    ‘I want to become someone who I can deeply rely on.’

    I want to be a shade and support where my childhood friend can rest comfortably.

    That was the starting point that made Yoon Si-hoo what he is today.

    He gained courage as he watched himself grow rapidly through rigorous training.

    ‘If it’s now… .’

    Now that you have become stronger and are getting stronger in real time.

    If you have passed the hunter qualification test and become a hunter.

    It might be possible to offer her a shoulder.

    “Hey… , Harin!”

    “Why?”

    “That… , If you pass the exam this time, there is something I want to say to you.”

    “… What do you want to say?”

    “Yes! So, that… , can you give me some time?”

    “… … .”

    Jin Ha-rin’s indifferent gaze turns to Yoon Si-hoo, who is fidgeting.

    It seems obvious.

    What is he trying to say?

    I think 90% of the women in the world can tell by looking at his expression right now.

    “Okay, okay.”

    She readily accepted his offer.

    It was a good thing.

    “I also had something to say to you.”

    “Ah, that’s right… ?”

    Because she also had something she wanted to say to him the day she became a hunter.

    “Let’s go quickly, we can’t keep our seniors waiting.”

    “Yeah, right!”

    The two people started walking even faster and headed toward the testing site.

    * * *

    The day of the exam finally arrived.

    A large crowd of people gathered in front of the test center forming a crowd.

    Half of them are applicants for the second quarter hunter qualification exam and their families and friends.

    The other half, coincidentally, were people who had nothing to do with the test and who came here because of us.

    “Hey… , Look at the camera flash going off.”

    “It seems like there are dozens of suns.”

    “Superstar Elena… , I would gladly accept this interest. Hehehe.”

    The guys chatting calmly amidst countless flash fires.

    This is truly a nuisance.

    “They said they didn’t have to come, but they all came.”

    I clearly told them not to come, but they all came on time.

    That’s why.

    “It’s our chicks’ first exam, so we need to cheer up!”

    “That’s right, that’s right!”

    “Now our chick… , it becomes chicken.”

    What should I do?

    They said they would give support to their direct subordinates.

    Just then, Yoon Si-hoo and Jin Ha-rin are seen walking from afar.

    Then, Shin Yoo-jeong waves her hand wildly and sends a signal.

    “Guys, it’s here!”

    Yoon Si-hoo and Jin Ha-rin, who saw us in the crowd, approached us with bright expressions.

    “Seniors!”

    “Are you all here?”

    “Of course you have to come to this event!”

    “I came here to relieve tension.”

    “Just break the pots of all the guys you meet, OK?”

    Who are you?

    The guy who keeps talking strangely to Elena.

    After the advice from the senior guild members, it was finally my turn.

    I only said one thing to the guys who were looking up at me with bright eyes.

    “If you don’t pass, you will be expelled.”

    “Gasp.”

    “… Are you kidding?”

    The two people’s faces went from pure white to blue.

    “Hey, what kind of nonsense are you saying to the kids who are about to take the exam!”

    “You idiot!”

    “Are you not paying attention, Dojin?”

    Wow!

    match!

    “billion… !”

    My back seems to have turned blue too.

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    This test was held over 3 days and 2 nights.

    To conclude, Yoon Si-hoo and Jin Ha-rin passed the exam with confidence.

    And that’s at Grade B, the highest grade you can get in a qualification exam.

    I come out of the monitor room that I obtained thanks to the help of Director Kim Seong-tae and greet the two people who have completed their exam.

    “Everyone worked hard.”

    “Senior!”

    “Were you watching?”

    “Yes, both of them are very good.”

    It was worthy of praise.

    Even though it was a real game, he wasn’t nervous and showed off what he had practiced well.

    “It’s all thanks to you!”

    “That’s right. It was possible because my senior taught me.”

    The guys who paint my face with gold.

    The bridge of the nose naturally becomes higher.

    Wow, I’ll teach my juniors this taste.

    I feel it.

    Let’s take the kids who had a hard time eating bad association food for 3 days and 2 nights and go eat something delicious.

    “Are you hungry? Should we go somewhere to eat something delicious?”

    “Sorry, senior!”

    “Uh, um.”

    It was rejected outright.

    “Actually, I have something to talk about separately with Harin. Right, Harin?”

    “Huh? Uh, yeah… .”

    She looks at me with an expression full of regret and then lowers her head.

    “I’m sorry, senior. The two of you have something to talk about.”

    “Ah, yes… ?”

    There is no such thing as hurt from rejection.

    I’m just curious.

    What on earth are those two people trying to talk about?

    “I’ll pack my bags and come out, so see you at the entrance, Harin.”

    “Okay.”

    “Senior! Please excuse me first!”

    “Huh? Uh, yes.”

    Yoon Si-hoo walks away with a bright smile.

    As soon as the guy disappears, Jin Ha-rin approaches him quietly.

    The distance is so close that you can even see each other’s fine pores if you focus just a little.

    This must be proof that he considers me that much friendly.

    She looks worried and opens her mouth.

    “Senior.”

    “Huh?”

    “What should I do?”

    What should I do out of nowhere?

    “… What?”

    “I mean Sihu. I think he plans to confess to me today.”

    I was speechless.

    Shifu guy.

    How bad are you at managing your facial expressions that your entire thoughts can be read before you even confess?

    While I was puzzled, she asked me.

    “Senior, what should I do?”

    “… … ?”

    Why did you do that to me… ?
