106 – It’s not really a big deal
Ding-!
The elevator door opened.
Hundreds of people gathered in the lobby on the second basement level all turned their heads toward us.
…………
“Awesome…”
Yeon-hee lowered her head under her as if committing a great sin, and I carefully wrapped her arms around her as I struggled to find an empty space in her bustling lobby. . Of course, it was inevitable that there would be a big commotion along the way.
– Wow!! What, what the f*ck!
– Is it a dungeon break!!
– Carl! A knife in the body!!
With people who were surprised to recognize me now because of the crowds. There were various reasons, such as people taking acrobatic postures to avoid the blades sprouting from my body.
I was delighted with the reaction, which was a bit more violent than the one I saw on the first floor, but Yeon-hee was very perplexed.
‘Ah, it’s not even people who watch monsters for a day or two, so it’s a fuss.’
In the end, the turmoil subsided only after the association staff arranged for us to sit down and broadcasted again.
But soon we had to be surrounded by human barriers for a while because people flocked to see me.
– Wow, that dog looks scary. How much will your fighting power be?
– Don’t you ask for this?
– Wakkoo is already at the level of a knight-
– I heard you can understand words.
– Hey, they said it’s a summoned beast, but it’s just a monster.
“Haa…”
As time passed, Yeonhee’s sighs deepened, but the people who were watching me didn’t come here to play, so the crowd soon dispersed.
“Why are there so many people? Phew… I’m sweating.”
Even excluding those who were cornered because of me, the absolute number was just too many.
‘Certainly, this is a rather unusual number. Did all the people who survived this dungeon break come together?’
Recalling that Helen’s group achieved great growth through this subjugation, it was possible to predict that there would be a large number of people who had reached the end of the E rank.
Of course, not all of them fought a bloody battle with the Orc warriors like we did. However, just surviving from such a large crowd is enough to earn experience points. If you’re lucky, you’ll even get a small achievement.
‘It will take a long time.’
It was the busiest time since we arrived just after 2:00.
“Hmm… I’d rather do something else first.”
In the end, we just registered and went up to the 7th floor again.
“Please release the summons.”
The reason I visited the 7th floor was because of the association’s request several times about what happened yesterday, and I couldn’t enter the office, so I had no choice but to enter the dark space.
After a while, I was called out and found that I had arrived on the second basement floor again. As soon as Yeon-hee called me out, she told me about what had happened on the 7th floor.
“Isn’t there anything special? It’s the same as what the officials asked yesterday. If this is the case, they should just share it among themselves, so why make them repeat the same thing?”
It’s rare for Yeon-hee to express her dissatisfaction like this, but she must have asked a lot of insincere questions. And there was a reason Yeon-hee didn’t go as he thought.
‘The government doesn’t like associations, so things like work cooperation don’t work well.’
It has been a long time since the influence of the association has become too great a burden on state institutions.
“Oh yes. I decided to sell the surplus runes, so let’s go over there, Sunwol.”
Nod-
Now, we had no use for normal runes and low-level runes, and we tried to dispose of them mainly for those that would not be very helpful even if we distributed them to summoned creatures.
“Here they say-“
Yeon-hee moved to the central column in the lobby on the 2nd basement floor to exchange runes.
“The red baseball cap, the red cap- oh there it is.”
A man with a baseball cap pulled back and tattoos down to his chin was looking around his head.
“Hello…”
“Ah! Lee Yeon-hee, are you a hunter? Ooh! Is that a summoned beast you’ve only heard about?”
“Yes… Hey, here’s the rune. You can look at it and choose…”
“Huh… He said he was a skeleton soldier. I’d believe him even if he said he was a boss mob.”
The man seemed to be looking more intently at me than at Rune.
‘Why buy normal runes?’
A high-class D rune, he must have come because of the C-class promotion, but all the runes Yeon-hee bought were low-level runes. So I couldn’t help but wonder. I don’t think he wrote anything.
“… Stand over there, make a choice…”
“Ah! Let’s see- Rune of Magic and Rune of Absorption, a total of five. Yes, that’s right. I just buy them all.”
“Bo, please put it into the account I sent you…”
“Okay… Wait a minute.”
After the man answered cheerfully, he started touching his cell phone.
“I sent the money, but I saw it on You Tube and you look really beautiful in person. Are you here for a promotion today?”
“…Yes…”
Yeon-hee tried to turn around as soon as she confirmed the deposit, but turned her head again to the man’s question and gave a short answer. Then the man started pouring out a lot of words at once, like a participant in a hip-hop contest.
“Ah, I’m also in the C-class promotion test! It’s embarrassing, but I actually failed once. This is my second attempt at C-class, haa- Actually, I got caught in the exam room 4 in the first one, too, so I couldn’t even rise to C-class. It’s not lame. But this is also a test…”
I talked like that for 2-3 minutes alone without a break.
‘Another talkative fellow. Just make a deal and go, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?’
“…… Ah, yes… That, that, then.”
I thought Yeon-hee couldn’t listen to it anymore, so I roughly cut it off and tried to turn around.
“Wow… They don’t accept it once. Sibeol-“
The man who suddenly spat out harsh words tried to grab Yeon-hee’s slender arm.
Tup-!
‘Is this crazy?’
I immediately grabbed the man’s arm, and for a moment, a strange tension lingered between the man and me.
“Huh- Look at this guy. He has quite a bit of strength, doesn’t he?”
“Why, why are you like that? The deal is over.”
Yeon-hee hurriedly hid behind me and asked, and the man angrily threw away his arm.
No, I tried to shake it off.
“This! Why can’t this fall out like this!
I pondered for a while as I held the arm of the man struggling to get out of my hand.
“Ahh!! It hurts! It hurts! Damn you!”
I haven’t even entered a D-level dungeon yet, and he’s a hunter who wants to graduate from a D-level dungeon.
But the difference in combat power between this guy and me wasn’t as great as I thought. It was like that just because I couldn’t overcome my strength right now.
Twice former job and bone armor. And the result of the accumulation of abilities obtained by killing the small Blue-Eyes followers.
If you rush into battle, you will be able to gain the upper hand, even if it takes some time.
‘I listened to the nonsensical sound without saying anything. Ha… How dare you hold Yeon-hee’s arm? It’s not enough to just hit me a few times.’
The acidic liquid floated up. The acidic juice of the slime sprinkled on his face will greatly diminish the spirit of this reckless man.
The point is to look down at the guy who is flustered after this and doesn’t know what to do.
‘No… Wake up you crazy bastard!! This bastard hasn’t done anything yet, what’s wrong with the thought circuit?’
I wouldn’t have thought of such an extreme option in my previous life. Maybe it’s because I was born in the dark side?
‘Irmana. Give me superhuman patience for a moment.’
Whoop-
My heart soon regained composure to see if my wish for Irmana had worked, and I let go of the arm I was holding in her hand.
The man vigorously brushed off his arm several times and said with a frown.
“Ahh! sh*t! My arm…! I just wanted to talk to the same Hunters, but I didn’t do it too much!”
‘I talked too much to myself for that. And there was malice in the hand I was trying to hold. The reason I catch things like that is at the top level in Korea, bastard.’
The man clutched his blue-stained arm and screamed incomprehensibly as he jumped around. It’s like the cry of a monkey that couldn’t overcome its own anger.

“Ah! Seriously!!”
“I-I have nothing to say to you.”
“Sipper, are you so stiff? Why are you ignoring people just because you got one class?”
“What, what am I like-“
“Keukkeu- That’s a great class. After a while, everyone else will wake up, but don’t act like it’s going to be anything, okay? It’s really unlucky.”
“… Oh no, when did I-“
Still clutching his arms, his face contorted in pain, but the man did not know how to close his foul mouth.
“And I’ll definitely remember making an arm out of a skull like this. Just wait and see you-“
Yeon-hee turned to ice with his mouth open as if he was quite taken aback by the man who suddenly revealed his ill will to her. Really she didn’t do anything wrong, but she was a jerk all of a sudden.
Seeing her stiffened reaction, the man smiled contentedly and moved to another location, and Yeon-hee had to tremble and catch her breath for a while.
Belatedly, the association staff came and asked what was going on, but it was too late at the latest, man.
‘You bastard… You’re not the only one who remembered the face.’
If you go up to C level, I will definitely find you.
“Ha ha… Ha…”
Even for Yeon-hee, who had defeated countless monsters in the dungeon, this kind of trouble between people was a completely different problem. So, I understand why you are having such a hard time.
“Whoa – sometimes whenever I meet people like that, it feels like my heart shrinks. Ilwol, can you understand why that person is acting like that?”
I violently shook her head and patted her on the back. How can we understand those who have suddenly gained strength and whose personality has burst.
‘I don’t understand, but it’s a scene that gives me a sense of déjà vu.’
Envy, jealousy, irritation and anger for no reason.
Dark emotions seen in a person with talent.
They were the type of people I’ve been through a lot.
“Yoon Han-gyeol? That Bastard LittleSensation One Innate For nothing f*cking I was condescending.. I＞When Once Step on it Let it go Do I Press There was.”
“Road Once Departed Large Has Dog Damn He said. Annoying ＜ I＞Real.”
“Me Once Catch me＜ I＞? That Cub Attack I＞Skills No. In the corner Drive it Step on it Leave it Forward “
As I was turning down the hallway, I suddenly remembered the sneering voices of the guild members who were talking behind my back. Then again, something like a damp haze spread through my mind.
‘Haa… It’s hard to bear. I can’t go into stealth and defeat it.’
I want to punish the guy who started the fight right away, but this is where [Detect Magic] Is always activated. As soon as I use stealth, I will be discovered and arrested.
And if there is an accident here, it will be Yeon-hee who will eventually suffer, and if she is unlucky, her promotion may be suspended for several months.
As I suppressed my emotions with superhuman patience, I felt that her breathing, gently leaning against my chest, gradually stabilized.
– Hunter No. 477 Lee Yeon-hee. Please come to the exam room number 4 now.
“Ah-“
She didn’t look nervous at all when she entered the building, but she seemed to have lost her temper a bit because of what she had just been through.
I clenched her fist at Yeon-hee, and then she nodded her head broadly and walked towards the test room.
