Chapter 11

“But you’re here, aren’t you? I made it clear that you should meet the victim in person, kneel down and apologize respectfully, and if they don’t accept it, stay there.”

“...”

“What’s your answer?”

Han Suwon looked at Park Jinyong. When he looked directly at his eyes, which had turned blue due to the influence of his abilities, Park Jinyong’s body trembled.

“Yes, I did. I did what you told me to do.”

“Did the victim receive the apology?”

The victim! Park Jinyong was frustrated.

Wasn’t he the victim himself? He was the one who was beaten by that monstrous fellow for putting an F-class into a little dangerous situation!

It was not his fault that the gate was closed, so why does the guild leader make him an assailant!?

“Hunter Park Jinyong, you already know that I hate lies, right?”

But he couldn’t say that to Han Suwon. He bowed his head, vowing to kill the cheeky F-class as soon as possible.

“I did it, and... Th-that F-class accepted it!”

“I made it clear that I hate lies. If that’s not the truth, you’ll have to pay the price.”

Han Suwon lowered his gaze to the document again.

Park Jinyong was relieved only then. It didn’t matter if that F-class had never forgiven him. Because he could simply accuse them of lying in retaliation.

And as he was the leader of a raid in this guild, everyone would believe him.

“But what’s with that scar on your cheek?”

That time, at Han Suwon’s words, Park Jinyong’s eyes widened.

“Scar?”

“It looks pretty deep. Didn’t you know? The one on your left cheek.”

Park Jinyong hurriedly caressed his cheek. The pain spread as soon as his rough fingertips touched it. The pain was so strong that he wondered why he didn’t know until now.

“Huh? When is this...”

He had excellent senses as a top Hunter, and he didn’t even know he was hurt until he touched it?

“It looks like it hasn’t been long since the blood hasn’t hardened.”

“I-It seems so.”

“... Our business is over, so go ahead. And as I said, the truth about Director Do Junyoung should not be divulged anywhere. If you want to live.”

Do Junyoung. At the name of the terrifying monster disguised as an A-class, Park Jinyong quickly forgot his wound.

When he remembered that terrible day when he had to be hit without being able to resist once, his face turned blue.

Park Jinyong stumbled out of the guild leader’s room.

“He didn’t even know he was hurt...”

Han Suwon stared at his back.

It should be hard not to know because the wound is under his eye... That means the one who hurt him was someone who can fool an A-class Hunter’s sense.

“There is a high probability that a Hunter with an S rank or higher did it.”

But there’s no way he’s ever met Song Hanna, the president of the association, or Do Junyoung, who is on probation. He would have said it if he had met another S-class.

All that’s left is an unknown person he doesn’t know.

“Yoon Seora, Yoon Seora.”

The victim who almost suffered a terrible thing, but returned safely out of good luck.

What was her true fate in the dungeon?

“We’ll see when we meet.”

Han Suwon, who was alternately thinking of Park Jinyong’s wounds and Yoon Seora’s name, shook his head and looked at the documents again.

There were not only two things that had to be fixed because of what Park Jinyong had done.

***

At last, Do Junyoung returned to the office after finishing his probation period.

The waiting office staffs poured out applause for the hero’s return. Of course, Do Junyoung, as always, with a cold face, left only the words I have something to do and went into the director’s office.

As expected, our director hasn’t changed! Everyone burst into laughter.

“No. I personally don’t hate him that much.”

Do Junyoung’s words sounded sincere, so Seora decided to believe him.

‘Other S-classes will be disappointed. Like Sunset Guild’s leader.’

Seora remembered Eun Injae, the leader of the Sunset Guild, who was singing all the time to make Han Suwon bang his head on the floor in the S-class community. She wondered how bad their relationship was.

Of course, I don’t want to see it in person.

It was hard enough just to get involved with Clear Blue Guild’s leader. This was more than enough.

***

However, it was only today that Seora realized that not everything in the world goes her way.

On the day that Clear Blue Guild’s leader and Park Jinyong finally decided to come to the association.

There were two people who visited this place before that.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the association!”

“I think it gets better every time I come here. You can’t even compare it to our headquarters. Hey, can’t we just swap headquarters?”

“You should go and tell the president of the association about that. What is there that she can’t do without permission? The state will be the one to back down.”

“This is like saying no in a twist. There’s no way that greedy person would allow it.”

One tall woman in a short skirt wearing something like a robe, and one short woman looking around in a hurry.

The two people who were bickering were very familiar with the association.

It was because they were the leaders of Sunset Guild and Guardian Spirit Guild.

Standing in the association’s office, which was in a commotion at the sudden appearance of the big names, Seora quietly held her head.

‘Did they really come to see Han Suwon’s head getting hit? No, I won’t hit him. I won’t!”

No matter how heavy your hatred is, how could you really come?!

I’ve seen it personally in the S-class dedicated community, but these guys really aren’t normal crazy.

[Administrator: ∠( ᐛ ”∠)_ ]

And the annoying administrator was stocking up on popcorn.

But Seora couldn’t say a word to him, and only wept inwardly and cried at him.

‘Blessing! Blessing!’

Now is the moment when I need your blessing more than ever.

“Hey, Director Do!”

Do Junyoung, who came out after hearing about the situation, made an expression that could not be described in words when he saw the two people waving brightly at him.

Seora, who was watching from a distance, felt really sorry for him.

“I told you not to come.”

His face was full of sorrow as he spoke.

“There is such an exciting spectacle, how can I not come? I’ve been bored lately, so I’m glad!”

“Go home now. What you two want is not going to happen.”

Eun Injae, the leader of Sunset Guild, lowered her eyes.

“What? Why!? You have done such a great thing!”

“No matter what, I won’t do it. Don’t make things complicated and go home.”

“I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna! Soo-eun wants to see it!”

Yoo Soo-eun, the leader of the Guardian Spirit Guild, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, began to act with words. It was the first time Seora saw Do Junyoung, who was always calm, put on such an openly disgusted expression.

But sadly for him, it was just more pleasing to those two crazy people.

“Injae doesn’t wanna either! Injae wants to see it too!”

“Soo-eun wants to see it!”

“Injae won’t leave until you show it!”

“Soo-eun will stay right here!”

“... you guild leaders.”

In the end, feeling wretched, Do Junyoung held his face and shook his head.
