25. Penalties

The first thing that came to Ye-Hyeon’s mind was “I’m doomed,” and then “What should I do with my image?”

What do you mean, dizziness?

Ye-Hyeon wanted to shout.

Out of all the status abnormalities it had to be something common.

How similar is it to dizziness that he even fell?

Hunters with S-class abilities were usually crazy people who continued to fight while smiling even if their limbs flew away.

It is instinctive, so it will be the same for Shin Do-Gyeom, Yoon Seung-Jae, and Kwon Joo-Ho, who do not have much experience.

At first, he fainted because of Lizardi, and after the Scream Raven yesterday, today was already his third time fainting due to dizziness.

Even if it was understandable because it was urgent when he was attacked by Scream Raven, it was so shameful that he collapsed due to dizziness.

Ye-Hyeon couldn’t bear to open his eyes.

“……… Are you up, Ye-Hyeon?”

However, it seemed that Baek Hae-Won could not be deceived.

At his question, Ye-Hyeon opened one eye slowly.

Ye-Hyeon was embarrassed, but Baek Hae-Won tilted his head with an ambiguous smile as if he understood the feeling.

“…… how long have I been lying down?”

Ye-Hyeon didn’t want to say the word fainting.

“Hang on. About 5 minutes?”

“Oh…….”

Ye-Hyeon let out a pained sound and covered his head with a hood.

He wanted to hide.

“Hyung!”

Yoon Seung-Jae, who saw Ye-Hyeon moving, rushed in.

At the sound of footsteps getting closer, Ye-Hyeon lifted the robe slightly.

“You said you’d live longer than me…….”

Yoon Seung-Jae grumbled resentfully and stared at Ye-Hyeon.

He was cute because his eyebrows were slightly drooping and his lower lip was pouting.

“I was just dizzy for a moment.”

“Who’s the one who falls from dizziness for a second? Do you have anemia?”

‘I know. Who faints from dizziness?’ Ye-Hyeon answered inside his head and swallowed a sigh.

Even if his physical ability was close to the general public, Ye-Hyeon was still a hunter.

After awakening, he was more resilient than ordinary people and did not suffer from minor illnesses.

Even though the abnormality is B-class dizziness, he couldn’t believe that he was dizzy for a while and even fainted.

Worry flowed down from Yoon Seung-Jae’s eyes.

Since he regressed, things have worked out strangely and have been strangely twisted.

“Ye-Hyeon, if you go out, you should go to the doctor.”

Now, Baek Hae-Won seemed to think that Ye-Hyeon was weak.

Ye-Hyeon hurriedly waved before the misunderstanding deepened.

“No, I don’t have anemia, and everything was normal. It’s just that I bled too much yesterday…….”

He just wanted to appeal that he’s not a weakling who went down without a reason, so he gave a plausible reason, but it seemed to be a wrong choice.

The atmosphere quickly cooled.

Yoon Seung-Jae held Ye-Hyeon’s hand tightly with a white face as if it reminded him of yesterday.

Shin Do-Gyeom, who was watching crookedly, stared with his teeth clenched, and Kwon Joo-Ho completely turned his eyes away.

Even Baek Hae-Won sighed slightly.

“……Sorry…”

Ye-Hyeon tried to apologize for ruining the atmosphere by saying useless things.

However, Ye-Hyeon closed his mouth when he saw Kwon Joo-Ho’s dark expression.

Just yesterday, he gave Kwon Joo-Ho a cold slap by telling him not to apologize for no reason, but he was not brazen enough to apologize.

“Lie down a little longer until the dizziness subsides.”

Baek Hae-Won tapped Ye-Hyeon on the shoulder.

Ye-Hyeon checked the Status Window.

Originally, it was an hour and a half penalty, but the dizziness still had an hour and 22 minutes left.

He is glad it didn’t last that long, but he didn’t want to delay everyone.

He thought it wouldn’t matter if he was a little dizzy because he just had to hide anyway.

“I’m fine…….”

Ye-Hyeon sat up and tried to pretend to be okay, but suddenly the world turned around and his eyesight was distorted.

“Ah…”

Ye-Hyeon couldn’t keep his balance and fell back down.

He felt dizzy.

When he blinked several times, the view, which had turned black, slowly returned.

Ye-Hyeon had never experienced dizziness.

He thought it was nothing, but it was unexpectedly annoying and uncomfortable.

Maybe it’s just his feeling, but he felt feverish and nauseous.

“I told you not to overdo it, right? Are you going to say that even if Seung-Jae collapsed?”

“………I don’t think Yoon Seung-Jae is going to collapse.”

Still, if Yoon Seung-Jae is dizzy, it would not be a normal symptom, so it was right to rest right away.

Baek Hae-Won, who read the answer from Ye-Hyeon’s expression, smiled softly.

“Hey, are you a healer or a doctor? Shut up and lie down unless you can cure it.”

“I told you, speak nicely to hyung!”

Yoon Seung-Jae interrupted Shin Do-Gyeom’s cynical remarks with irritation.

The two glared fiercely at each other.

“I think I’ll be all better in about an hour.”

“How do you know that?”

“I got hurt similarly before, but after an hour, I got better.”

Ye-Hyeon smiled at Shin Do-Gyeom’s distrustful gaze.

Of course, it was all a lie.

“If you run into a Monster, just run away well. I know you’re crazy because you want to die, but don’t bother others.”

Ye-Hyeon fiddled with his earlobes.

Ye-Hyeon couldn’t force himself more because everyone was against it.

“Ha.”

Yoon Seung-Jae, who was staring at Shin Do-Gyeom with big eyes, burst into laughter.

Then he sighed deeply and muttered that he couldn’t communicate.

“Hyung, I don’t like Shin Do-Gyeom.”

Yoon Seung-Jae, who sat next to Ye-Hyeon, purposely muttered loudly as if to let everyone hear.

Shin Do-Gyeom raised one corner of his mouth without being shaken.

Ye-Hyeon couldn’t take anyone’s side and rolled up his lips and asked.

“From what it looks like, it’s not that much.”

As if he had lost interest in it quickly, Shin Do-Gyeom left after making sarcastic remarks toward Ye-Hyeonn.

Yoon Seung-Jae fiddled with Ye-Hyeon’s hand and only pouted his lips.

‘Hey, Yoon Seung-Jae. Why are you angry now? He’s cursing at me!’ Ye-Hyeon thought.

Ye-Hyeon opened his eyes wide and alternated between Yoon Seung-Jae and Shin Do-Gyeom.

“Yoon Seung-Jae, you…….”

“You don’t think I look like a significant person, do you?”

He wanted to ask questions, but didn’t have the power to talk.

Ye-Hyeon gave up and closed his eyes halfway.

Shin Do-Gyeom sat with his back against a rock that was a little far away.

The rest seemed to be resting until the dizziness healed.

“Sigh.”

Ye-Hyeon sighs.

He was in a bad condition even though he was lying down.

The dizziness seemed to be so severe that it was difficult to move even though the duration was short.

It would be a big problem if there was a monster that caused dizziness.

Ye-Hyeon has never heard of a monster that causes dizziness or a release potion that heals it.

Ye-Hyeon stopped while imagining Kwon Joo-Ho or Yoon Seung-Jae staggering from dizziness.

It didn’t suit them at all.

He was staring blankly at the scenery seen through the narrow hood.

Kwon Joo-Ho approached him, then looked down at him before he turned around.

Ye-Hyeon feels weird when Kwon Joo-Ho has looked down at him from the top.

Kwon Joo-Ho is much taller, so just looking at him he already felt bad.

He couldn’t say they were close even with empty words, but he was able to read Kwon Joo-Ho’s expression little by little from last night.

Even if he doesn’t like it, it was a good thing for Ye-Hyeon.

He had to stay in one space and adapt to Kwon Joo-Ho’s expressionless expression.

His eyebrows were raised slightly today.

Kwon Joo-Ho also seemed to be in a bad mood.

‘Is he mad because he hindered their schedule?

It was a very likely guess to maintain the top spot in the rankings, they had to make certain results. Maybe he doesn’t like plans to go wrong. It’s okay. If Kwon Joo-ho is the target, he’ll get minus 100 points anyway. There’s nothing more to fall from.’ Ye-Hyeon thought.

Ye-Hyeon closed his eyes.

Ye-Hyeon was going to put his hand on Yoon Seung-Jae’s head, but something warm and soft touched his palm.

He felt too lazy to open his eyes, so he carefully felt with his fingers.

It seemed to be Yoon Seung-Jae’s face.

It looks like he touched his cheek.

Unlike Ye-Hyeon, who was surprised inside, Yoon Seung-Jae calmly let Ye-Hyeon touch.

Yoon Seung-Jae likes skinship and he was used to it.

“Don’t cry, Yoon Seung-Jae. You have to grow up strong.”

“Hyung, you aren’t even looking? Do I look like I’m crying?”

Yoon Seung-Jae grumbled curtly and rubbed his cheek on Ye-Hyeon’s palm.

[system]

You got 10 points of intimacy.

Yoon Seung-Jae gives him a point whenever he is sick.

Ye-Hyeon tilted his head.

It seemed to be because Yoon Seung-Jae kept saying he would protect him.

But he didn’t want to pretend to be vulnerable.

Ye-Hyeon is pretending to be a healer, but his desire to be strong still lingers.
