“Did Baek Hae-Won curse?”’

Ye-Hyeon couldn’t believe it even if he saw it with two eyes. He rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, but the two clearly engraved letters did not change.

No matter how famous Baek Hae-Won is for his angelic personality, he can’t just think of good things, but he was shocked that the difference was so big.

‘……Is Lee Young-Shin such a dog that Baek Hae-Won can’t help but curse?’

However, considering it is Lee Young-Shin, he couldn’t blame Baek Hae-Won.

Ye-Hyeon picked up the robe.

“By the way, I guess you’re always chasing after our healer? I thought you were busy.” Lee Young-Shin tried to make a joke while insulting him.

What about our healer? What does Lee Young Shin believe in?’

Ye-Hyeon hated him.

Even though everyone said it was unfair, there was a hierarchy according to grade in Hunter society. Ye-Hyeon was angry to be ignored as an F-class, but on the contrary, it was also annoying because Lee Young-Shin was looking down on Baek Hae-Won.

“I will…”

“You’re the one who’s chasing me. How did you know about this place?”

Ye-Hyeon quickly interceded his words. Just thinking of Baek Hae-Won smiling at this kind of guy is already annoying him.

Lee Young-Shin came because of him anyway. He’ll take care of it. ‘I’m no longer a porter or a supporter.’ Ye-Hyeon took a deep breath as he clenched his fist.

“And I had a hard time because they only bothered me, but I guess you didn’t get it right.”

Ye-Hyeon made no secret of his hostility. Lee Young-Shin smiled as if he didn’t notice his hostility. “There must be a misunderstanding, but I came to help you. How did you end up with those guys…….”

“You are here to scout me, right?”

Ye-Hyeon cut off Lee Young-Shin’s words, frowning. He couldn’t let it go even though it was apparent that he would curse his own party member.

“Yes, yes. Our healer can communicate. How helpful would a face-to-face hunter or F-list trash be? I’m not turning my back on the innocent healer who doesn’t know anything. If you come to my side…….”

“I don’t want to.”

When Ye-Hyeon refused like a knife, Lee Young-Shin, who had been sly, slowly smiled. Ye-Hyeon swallowed a dry spit without realizing it.

“Did I say it too gentlemanly? Hey, Mr. Healer. I’m not here to beg. Just keep in mind that the more you stretch this out, the more you lose. You have to be pretty so someone still wants you, right?”

Ye-Hyeon felt his facial muscles stiffen.

Spiritualism was no ordinary evil. He may immediately spread rumours that Ye-Hyeon is a healer but does not have healing power, causing other hunters to avoid dungeons together or spreading gossip about his party members, not Ye-Hyeon.

It’s not a good thing if he spreads some gossip.

Ye-Hyeon pressed his palm with her fingernails.

Surprisingly, many people in Lee Young-Shin’s group hated Lee Young-Shin but reluctantly followed him. Due to a large number of people, Lee Young-Shin had his own opinion on collecting information.

To do so, he could follow Ye-Hyeon and interfere with every gate he dispatched.

For Hunter, the dungeon was a precious lifeline. If anyone didn’t like it, they held the rice line and shook it, so there was a story among low-ranking hunters that they should quit being a hunter once Lee Young-Shin caught them. Even if Lee Young-Shin was condescending like a king at the C-class gate, no one could dare rebel.

He was worried because I didn’t know what Lee Young-Shin would do. Ye-Hyeon’s expression became graver.

“Ye-Hyeon is just pretty.”

Baek Hae-Won, who had been watching the conversation between the two for a while, said something out of the blue.

“What?”

Baek Hae-Won made eye contact with Ye-Hyeon and looked at his eyes playfully.

“Don’t you think Yoon Seung-Jae would say the same if he were here?”

Oh, I can’t stop Lee Young-Shin. I made a mistake.’

“……I know.”

Ye-Hyeon forced up the corners of his mouth.

If he showed any signs of fear, Lee Young-Shin would dig into the gap and never let go.

“Ye-Hyeon, didn’t you say it’s best to avoid poop?”

Baek Hae-Won tilted his head and looked worried.

“It’s funny.”

But inside, he was enjoying it, not one bit worried.

Ye-Hyeon chewed his tongue. In any case, Baek Hae-Won’s inner words were more concerning than Lee Young-Shin’s arbitrary talk. “It must have been a pest, not a poop, from how he followed. You have to step on the pest.”

He doesn’t know what Baek Hae-Won wants, but Ye-Hyeon shrugged exaggeratedly, according to Baek Hae-Won’s attitude.

“I guess it’s easy because I’m being nice to you? You don’t know yet, but you’ll be in trouble if you mess with me. If you keep acting like that, Hunter Baek Hae-Won, I can’t stay still either.”

Rather than being threatened, he snorted and ignored him. Lee Young-Shin soon took his cell phone out of his arms.

Perhaps Lee Young-Shin had arranged his group and signals before coming to the hospital. If Lee Young-Shin signals to the network that the negotiations have failed, Ye-Hyeon’s party would soon be ostracized among junior hunters.

‘…What should I do? Should I get rid of his cell phone?’

But it was not a fundamental solution.

Lee Young-Shin smiled as if he judged that he had gained the upper hand again.

“Hunter Lee Young-shin.”

‘You moron…’

Baek Hae-Won called Lee Young-shin in an unprecedentedly cold voice.

‘Lee Young-Shin, you idiot.’

After reading Baek Hae-Won’s inner thoughts, Ye-Hyeon unconsciously read along and completed the sentence. It stuck in my mouth. “Come to think of it. You asked me to take care of you before. This is top secret information that has not been announced anywhere yet…….” Baek Hae-won stimulated Lee Young-Shin’s curiosity by stretching his words.

“Yes, it should come out like that. Let’s hear it, Hunter Hae-Won. It should be a tempting story.” Lee Young-Shin shook his cell phone. “……Hunter Baek Hae-Won.”

Ye-Hyeon called Baek Hae-Won dissatisfiedly. Baek Hae-Won touched Ye-Hyeon’s hand as if telling him not to worry.

“You know there’s a rating review soon, right? This is the first time we will do a rating maintenance review together. Since you’re going to do it every year, why don’t you go and train?”

“What? A rating review?”

Lee Young-Shin was surprised by the sudden story.

It’s been a long time since he gave up training. Since there was no particular performance test, he was expected to fall to D, let alone maintain C.

They are already starting the rating maintenance review?’

Ye-Hyeon also narrowed his eyebrows.

Lee Sun-Woo consistently said it was needed, but it was delayed day by day due to the lack of realistic conditions, but it was fizzled out as the association lost its strength. In the end, it was a system re-established just before Ye-Hyeon returned.

“Do you want me to believe that kind of nonsense? There are so many hunters against it! How dare you lie to me…….”

“Not if you don’t want to believe it. I ask you to leave quickly, but you don’t understand what I’m saying.”

‘Trash…’

His thoughts come out more.

” Hunter Baek Hae-Won, are you crazy?”

Ye-Hyeon was not the only one who was surprised. Lee Young-Shin also seemed surprised when Baek Hae-Won, considered easy, came out strong, unlike the rumors.

“Did I say it too hard?”

“Wow, damn it. I knew you’d be pretentious. I’m going to….”

“I, I…”

“Please feel free to make a noise as you, please. What difference would it make if one more rumor was added now? Isn’t it more fun that Baek Hae-Won, who hunts with his face, has a dirty personality?”

“It’s a good thing….”

Baek Hae-Won smiled brightly. It was such a clean smile that it would look good on a public service advertisement immediately.

“Please spread the word. Got it?”

Baek Hae-Won didn’t stop there but tapped Lee Young-Shin’s shoulder with his finger. Baek Hae-won seemed to hit lightly, but Lee Young-Shin’s skinny body was pushed back.

Lee Young-Shin’s face was stained with embarrassment. Lee Young-Shin was only able to stop until his back touched the door.

“You little….”

“By the way, what kind of confidence did you have to come all this way alone?”

As soon as Baek Hae-Won tilted his head, a small flame rose in the air.

It was a small flame the size of a nail, but the heat was not negligible. Ye-Hyeon backed away from the hot energy.

“You, you, you, you, you…….”

Lee Young-Shin’s face turned white with fear. This is Lee Young-Shin’s first encounter with an S-class Ability.

When he went to a medium-sized dungeon, Baek Hae-Won watched from behind and killed one or two. Lee Young-Shin guessed Baek Hae-Won’s ability from the rumors.

Lee Young-Shin couldn’t call out the axe even though he was flinching his fingers.

Red flames circled Lee Young-Shin. Baek Hae-won could melt Lee Young-Shin without leaving any ashes before he lifted a finger.

Lee Young-Shin also seemed to have noticed the fact instinctively.

Ye-Hyeon couldn’t help but hold his breath due to the sudden change in the atmosphere.

“Are you going to use your abilities? Try it on. I wonder what happens.”

“Lee Young-Shin, this is self-defense…….”

Baek Hae-won’s smile deepened. It was not the skill of someone threatening another person for the first time.

It was even more frightening because the way he spoke was still soft. Even though he wasn’t talking to him, Ye-Hyeon’s back was chilling.

“Ye-Hyeon, who used the power first?”

Baek Hae-won asked lightly without looking at Ye-Hyeon.

“…that man.”

Ye-Hyeon’s voice trembled slightly.

“Ha ha, did you hear that? Then isn’t this self-defense?”

Baek Hae-Won smiled brightly and opened the door wide as he extinguished the flame.

Lee Young-Shin, who lost strength in his legs, stumbled and collapsed in the hallway.

“I don’t want to see you again, but please take care.”

“Double personality…….”

Baek Hae-Won waved his hand to Lee Young-Shin, who was muttering in a trance and closed the door.

The silence fell in the hospital room.

‘……what have I just seen?’
