CH 65

28. Clear Challenge (5)

Have you ever been unfairly ignored?

Ye-Hyeon was going to ask out of curiosity, then shut up. A gossip about Baek Hae-Won posted on the Hunter Common Free Bulletin Board came to mind.

Baek Hae-Won’s name went up and down several times a day even after Baek Hae-Won quit his activities, saying that he had little to see except his face and that he was S-class because of the association’s backing.

“To show off your skills is an experience, right?”

Ye-Hyeon opened Baek Hae-Won’s status window—level 147. Only S-rated hunters exceeded level 200 before regression.

Baek Hae-Won’s level was always high. It may be related to Baek Hae-Won, who even has S-class Ability, staying in the A-class.

“Me too?”

Baek Hae-won smiled with his eyes and tilted his head as Ye-Hyeon blurted his words in the middle.

‘Wow…’

Ye-Hyeon burst into admiration inside. He almost took out his cell phone and took a picture without realizing it. He thought he had adapted quite well to Baek Hae-Won’s beauty, but it doesn’t seem to be the case.

He’s really pretty.’

If he looked this pretty, it was stranger that no one was jealous.

“I was wondering if you learned from other people like Do-Gyeom.”

Ye-Hyeon turned around and stared at Shin Do-Gyeom, who listened to Seo Soo-Hee’s story.

After reaching his peak as an archer, Ye-Hyeon met Shin Do-Gyeom. Since Shin Dong-Gyeom is not the type to brag, little was known about him.

It would not have been easy to change the negative perception of the archer, but Shin Do-Gyeom was so outstanding that he thought he would have gone through it without blockage.

Ye-Hyeon felt strange when he witnessed with his eyes the tip of his effort to achieve what he had in the future.

“Of course. I asked a lot and learned a lot.”

Baek Hae-Won spoke lightly. However, his friendly eyes settled down calmly.

Ye-Hyeon glanced back at Kwon Joo-Ho, sitting quietly as if he was not there.

At heart, Ye-Hyeon felt a strange psychological distance from the four people with S-class abilities. It feels like they are people who live in different words.

Watching the battle of S-class hunters who slaughtered powerful monsters like a sheet of paper for a long time was natural. Ye-Hyeon couldn’t believe it was the same human being.

It is expected that others would recognize them, unlike him.

But if he will suffer anyway, it’s better to have the ability. Ye-Hyeon wished he had someone to ask me what he should do.

Ye-Hyeon rubbed his chin and dropped his head.

“The…….”

Ye-Hyeon rolled his eyes around for a while and carefully opened his mouth. It was not an easy opportunity when Yoon Seung-Jae was always sticking to him like gum.

Baek Hae-Won tilted his upper body slightly toward Ye-Hyeon when Ye-Hyeon suddenly hesitated and could hardly continue talking.

“Yes, I’m listening.”

“……I heard that the director of the institute, who was developing treatments for mana rejection, is now in the association. Do you know who it is?”

Ye-Hyeon asked as calmly as possible.

Ye-Hyeon looked everywhere, but it took more work to get information on treatment than he thought. The one research institute in Korea had been closed for a long time, and all he found out was the news that Dr. Jeong Yul, the institute’s director, had entered the association.

Ye-Hyeon had no choice but to enter the association to get internal information from the association, but he would lose too much.

He wanted to ask for help if Baek Hae-Won was not just acting as the association’s mascot and had any influence.

Ye-Hyeon was going to ask after raising his intimacy even a little, but when he found out where Dr. Jeong Yul was, His impatience soared. Ye-Hyeon eagerly leaned on Baek Hae-Won’s kindness.

“Mana Rejection? Are you interested in that, Ye-Hyeon?” Baek Hae-Won asked curiously.

If a person with mana rejection is called someone with bad luck, Hunter, who expressed Ability, on the contrary, is called the chosen one.

“A person I know, no, a precious person to me, has mana rejection.”

Ye-Hyeon lowered his gaze and calmly expressed what had not yet happened in the future.

“…Really?”

Baek Hae-Won asked back slowly.

Ye-Hyeon nodded only because he was choked.

“I’ll look into it.”

As expected, unlike Yoon Seung-Jae, Baek Hae-Won did not ask in particular.

“Thank you.”

Ye-Hyeon bit hit his lips, feeling relief.

“Jae-Hyung says he has a favor to ask of you.”

The atmosphere, which became slightly heavy, brightened again when Yoon Seung-Jae returned.

Behind Yoon Seung-Jae, Kim Jae-Hyung, with a red face, was seen.

“To me?”

Kim Jae-Hyung was a person who didn’t say anything to others.

Ye-Hyeon was confused but tried to hide it and approached Kim Jae-Hyung.

“What’s wrong?”

“Wait over there…….”

Kim Jae-Hyung looked sideways at a corner from where the party was resting. Ye-Hyeon willingly followed Kim Jae-Hyung.

Yoon Seung-Jae wanted to follow, but when Ye-Hyeon shook her head without saying a word, he sat down with a discontented expression.

“Can you treat old scars?”

He couldn’t make eye contact with Ye-Hyeon.

“What? Scar?”

Surprisingly, Kim Jae-Hyung asked for a favor first, but the content was even more surprising.

Ye-Hyeon lowered his gaze without realizing it.

Kim Jae-Hyung was clutching his left wrist with his right hand. He was wearing brown gloves on both hands, and now that Ye-Hyeom saw it, the space for index fingers was loose.

“I have a seven-year-old daughter. I don’t see her often because I’m busy working, but it’s not a waste to give all my leisure time. But since I accidentally showed a scar last year, she hasn’t come close because she is scared. Gloves were no use because she had already seen the scar.”

Kim Jae-Hyung, smiling as if he thought of his daughter, sighed bitterly and scratched his head.

Kim Jae-Hyung had a dark complexion. He seemed to blame himself for the guilt that he was committing something against his beliefs.

However, Kim Jae-Hyung, who took a deep breath, soon looked straight at Ye-Hyeon with a determined face. His firm gaze conveyed Kim Jae-Hyung’s earnestness.

“I’ll do anything if you fix it. It’s hard to give you a lot of money right away because we’re in a bad situation, but I’ll save a little bit and send it to you steadily. Also, if you need my help anytime, just call me.”

Healers would sometimes treat injuries outside of Dungeon for high fees on the side. Healers are usually A-Class.

Ye-Hyeon was also waiting for the promotion screening because he was promoted to a class A hunter and was recognized as a real healer.

Kim Jae-Hyung took a big breath and tried to bend down.

“I’ll try.”

Ye-Hyeon hurriedly grabbed Kim Jae-Hyung’s shoulder.

Kim Jae-Hyung raised his head.

“Really?”

“Yes. My availability is limited, so I don’t know if it will be cured, but I’ll try it first,” Ye-Hyeon answered kindly with a smile, and his eyes folded. There was no reason to refuse the unexpected income.

However, it was not accepted purely for compensation. Kim Jae-Hyung was fully entitled to return the favor he had given.

“Thank you, thank you.”

“Show me your hands.”

“……it would be gross.”

Kim Jae-Hyung slowly took off his left-hand gloves.

Ye-Hyeon, who confirmed the scar, tried to breathe without realizing it but barely held it.

It’s not that his finger was cut off. It was ripped off.’

He doesn’t know what monster he was bitten by, but it looked like a broken section of an old tree under the back of his hand. The other finger wasn’t intact. The flesh must have fallen off.

Ye-Hyeon, who had seen all kinds of wounds, also thought it was a hideous scar. It must have been scary for a seven-year-old.

Maybe he couldn’t get first aid because he only had a low-level potion.

Ye-Hyeon swallowed his sadness and carefully put his hand on the scar.

The ‘healing light’ was a skill to return the wound to its original state. It was unclear whether scars would also be recognized as wounds.

‘Even if it’s good enough for the kid not to be scared. Be smooth, wound. Please.’

Ye-Hyeon demonstrated his skills with all his heart. The white light touched, but Kim Jae-hyung’s scar did not change anything.

‘No, I can’t….’

Ye-Hyeon was about to be disappointed. The ragged scars began to wriggle.

Kim Jae-Hyung clenched his teeth. It was effective.

The scar improved much slower than the usual wound.

“Whoo…….”

Ye-Hyeon took a little breath.

He doesn’t know if it’s because it’s old or because it’s in serious condition, but the mana quickly decreased.

Ye-Hyeon already lost half of it.

It was time for Ye-Hyeon to pick up a mana potion around his waist.

“Wow……”

I’m going back to my old schedule, so expect twice a week updates again.
