111 – The Equation of Love (3)
Clan Shinjeong.
This is the name of the newly created clan by Jihyun.
It’s only a small clan, but it could be said that the popularity was overwhelming as much as Jihyun founded it.
Ji-hyeon is one of the top 10.
He is one of only 10 Hunters in the world.
Her name was proudly placed in a position that was selected in consideration of her ability, honor, status, character, recognition, etc.
It is currently the only one in Korea. There’s no other way to describe it other than how amazing it is.
Jihyun is from an ordinary person.
Since she was a child, she has not received systematic training.
She grew up with the help of a good elixir, good instructors, and a good environment, and even her direct blood relatives of the representative clan did not dare to go beyond the 10th class, but Jihyun became the 10th class on her own.
A truly blessed mutation.
The stone character of Lee Ji-hyun’s name is the pride of Korea.
She is such that almost no one knows her name.
It’s rather strange that she doesn’t know. Because the government and companies have been promoting it for a long time.
As the current hunter society is being swayed by bloodlines, the appearance of Lee Ji-hyun, who was born in the general public, had no choice but to have a hot topic.
Also, isn’t Lee Ji-hyun rated far above her representative clan’s heirs?
For that reason, Lee Ji-hyun was especially popular with the common people.
There are only three people in Jihyun Lee’s current clan.
Clan leader Lee Ji-hyeon.
Clan members Yerin Ryu and Seojun Han.
It consists of three people.
It’s more like a party than a clan.
But the members are like all-stars.
Lee Ji-hyeon of the top 10 and Ye-rin Ryu, the successor of the last name family.
That’s right.
Wouldn’t it be great just to hear it in words?
To think that there are two people who are evaluated as S-Rank abilities…….
This is a really crazy clan composition. If there are two S-rank clans, it is safe to say that they are at the level of the representative clan.
Are you saying this is a small, elite clan that we’ve only heard about?
…… Except me, of course.
It hurts me a little to say this, but I’m too low to belong to this clan.
This is because it is an E-rank hunter that can be seen everywhere.
Well, my abilities are much better than the E-Rank Hunter, but apart from that, the fact that I am an E-Rank Hunter remains the same.
As much as my ability is not known to the outside world, people have no choice but to judge by looking at my hunter rank.
When the fact that I had joined this clan was first leaked through the press, there was a lot of talk about parachutes, connections, and whatnot.
I ate all kinds of cooking and swearing. f*ck. Also, the fact that Jihyun and Yerin had been together for a long time and the fact that they dated (?) These days became known, so it became even more controversial.
Come to think of it, an article was posted on the Hunter Gallery not too long ago, and it jokingly said, ‘Seo Jun-jwa, aren’t you actually dating Lee Ji-hyun and Ryu Ye-rin? It’s a f*cking harem,’ he said…….
Uh, um.
It’s sharp.
How did you know?
Well, people don’t really think that me, Jihyun, and Yerin are dating, but since we were often showing our closeness through the media more than necessary, there was a lot of talk about it.
And people don’t know, but there is one more surprising fact.
I haven’t been exposed to the media yet, so few people know, but I’m dating not only Jihyun and Yerin, but also other girls.
That person’s name is Seoyoon Choi.
Surprisingly, she is a member of Ilsung Group.
“Mr. Seojun.”
Just then.
A calm voice pierced my ears.
It was a clear voice, like a jade marble rolling around.
As I raised my head, I saw a familiar face.
…… Seoyoon Choi was in front of me.
“Shall we do this for today? Mr. Seojun?”
“Ha, ha, ha…… Whoa.”
I’m currently standing in the Clan House’s battle arena.
He vomited out his rapid breathing.
A cold sweat broke out between my temples.
When I wiped my forehead once, beads of sweat were wet. f*ck. It was hard, so I couldn’t speak well. Whoops. It’s tight, it’s tight.
“Haa…… Okay. Let’s stop here for today.”
“Yes.”
Today, Seoyoon visited Jihyeon’s clan on business.
I accompanied Park Kyu-seong and Cha So-yeon, and the two are currently talking with Ji-hyeon about work.
From noble mtl dot com
Seoyun was taking her own time to watch the training.
It was possible because Cha So-yeon helped.
‘Whoa…… We still have half an hour left before the two of them can finish talking, right?’
Since Jihyeon said he would text me after the meeting, I can stay with Seoyoon until then.
‘Because Seoyoon is helping me train like this…… That’s nice.’
I was very grateful that Seo Yoon-yi, the most talented member of the Ilsung Group representing Korea, was helping me this far.
That’s because if you were a normal hunter, you wouldn’t dare even dream of it.
When you think about it with common sense, it is really far away for her to get help from a person who is equivalent to an S-rank hunter.
There are only a handful of cases where an S-ranked person looked at the map, helped with training, and sparred.
There are probably only people from the 4 major clans who can enjoy that level of luxury.
I can say I’m really lucky.
“Thank you so much for watching today’s training. Because of me, there is not much time…….”
“No, Mr. Seojun. Is it something you like to do?”
Seoyun answered with a kind smile as always.
She sparred quite vigorously, but Seoyoon didn’t break a drop of sweat.
I feel like dying right now, but Seoyoon is fine.
For Seoyoon, sparring with me might have something in common with playing with children.
I never thought there would be such a difference in strength.
I was quite confident.
That’s also true, Seoyoon took care of him and dealt with him.
I suggested strength of A rank, and didn’t even use equipment.
On the other hand, unlike Seoyoon, who was naked, I went to Dalian armed with a lot of equipment.
Japanese national treasure, Muramasa.
Great White Shark Relic Wall of Glory.
Hannah Kim’s Noble Phantasm Hill of Swords.
Pistols for monsters given by Jihyun.
…… These are all top-of-the-line equipment borrowed from Yerin and Jihyun.
‘It’s a little embarrassing that I can’t rub even with this level of equipment.’
I tried to rub it with a toothbrush, but it really didn’t work.
“Excellent.”
“Huh?”
At Seoyoon’s sudden praise, she slightly blinked her eyes and tilted her head. I saw Seoyoon’s face looking down at me lying down.
She sat quietly and took out her handkerchief.
Then he carefully wiped my forehead.
I tossed and turned with an awkward face.
“Oh, that must smell like sweat.”
“Not at all.”
As always, he is wiping his sweat with a warm smile. This is a bit embarrassing.
“Yeah, but is it great? I only have memories of being unilaterally beaten by you.”
“This is not empty talk, Mr. Seojun. When I evaluated it objectively, Seo-jun was really great.”
“Uh…… Okay?”
“Yes.”
She shook her head slowly.
“The telekinesis ability that Seo Jun used is famous for its odorless, colorless, and formless power. If you’re an ordinary monster or a powerful person, you won’t be able to avoid it. Thanks to that, it is very suitable for ranged attacks.”
I have a memory of defeating a C-ranked person with a single blow in a 4th floor secret dungeon.
It was quite powerful as it was the power absorbed from Jihyun.
Of course, compared to Jihyun, it’s like new feet.
“Also, if I can make good use of my telepathic ability, I will be able to read the other person’s emotions and thoughts and easily respond to the other person’s movements. The other side’s surprise attack won’t work either.”
“Ah.”
Seoyun’s ability to transmit his mind is definitely useful. Being able to read her thoughts is a huge advantage in battle. She should be able to dodge, hit, and counter all attacks if she uses them well.
“And Mr. Hwaryeon’s ability to strengthen his body…… It’s great for melee attacks and defense. It should be able to block most physical attacks.”
Ganghwaryun’s body strengthening ability cannot be supplemented, so I cannot use it often, but I can reinforce my lack of physical ability more than necessary.
The power to strengthen the body is very useful.
“Yerin’s ability is also a necessary strength. Because we can reinforce Seojun’s lack of skills. The practicality of technology cannot be ignored.”
Yerin’s awakening ability ‘has a positive effect on all things implicit in the concept of a sword’.
When it comes to swordsmanship, it’s possible to imitate it just by looking at it.
Thanks to Yerin’s ability, she was able to use various sword techniques.
“Strength, Agility, Endurance, Skill…… There is no shortage of everything. The one and close range attacks are also amazing…… Since you can read other people’s thoughts, you should be able to respond to any situation.”
“Uh, yes. Maybe?”
Seoyun smiled broadly and evaluated it.
I think it’s kind of amazing to hear it like this.
No, it’s amazing, right?
“Shall we say that the synergy between abilities is really good? There are virtually no obvious weaknesses.”
I couldn’t erase the feeling of embarrassment because they were giving me a higher evaluation than I thought.
“Of course, it will be difficult to use multiple abilities at the same time as the use of abilities is immature right now, but time will solve it.”
“No, even using one ability is too much for that.”
“Seojun. It hasn’t been long since you absorbed and used other people’s abilities, right? You handle it really well for that.”
“Really?”
I raised my upper body and scratched the back of my neck. Why are you gilding like this? It feels really strange to hear someone with an S rank ability say this.
“It’s not worth saying. Normally, it takes more than a year to use the ability as much as Seo-joon, but I was able to use many abilities in just a few months.”
“Is that so?”
The biggest drawback of multi-talented people is the proficiency of their abilities.
Unlike general talents who dig only one well, multi-talented people dig multiple wells, so it is inevitable that there will be a difference.
It’s difficult to use only one ability well, but you can handle multiple abilities well at the same time?
It makes no sense unless you are a genius.
And I am not a genius.
…… It’s all because I learned and experienced through dreams of the future.
“It’s all thanks to your abilities. What’s so great about me If I don’t absorb your abilities, I’m just an empty can.”
“Seojun. There is an old saying like this. Using good equipment is one’s ability, and meeting good people is one’s ability.”
“Huh?”
“Please think of me as one of Seojun’s abilities.”
“Oh, is that so?”
I scratched the back of my neck with a bitter smile.
“And Seo-jun. I’m pretty old-fashioned. I was really surprised. Actually, how many times have you been in danger?”
“What?”
“Yes. Shall we say that Seojun’s ability is difficult to deal with in many ways? You’ve become incredibly strong.”
As if thinking about something, Seoyoon tapped her lips with her index finger.
“Perhaps at this level…… You will be able to become an A-ranked person. Mutual complement of abilities, presence or absence of short-range and long-range attacks, defense ability…… Overall, the balance is really good.”
“Oh, really?”
“Of course, as I mentioned earlier, using multiple abilities at the same time is immature in many ways, but if you look at your abilities, you can rank in the top 100 in Korea. Even if I’m a high ranker, will people believe me?”
“Huh… ….”
Are you in the top 100 in Korea based on your ability?
Of course, if you only look at ‘ability’. Ability only.
Now that I can’t handle that ability freely, I’m lacking in many ways, but where can I get this much evaluation?
You were just a porter not too long ago. Porter Naburaeng. But now, after hearing that it is as strong as an A-rank ability, it was evaluated as an ability that entered the top 100. f*ck. Is this life? It’s like a dream.
“By the way, Mr. Seojun. Didn’t Yerin and senior say anything?”
“Ah…… What are they…….”
I wrote, and took a breath.
“In the case of Yerin, she always says only nice things. In Jihyun’s case, he was always undercut and busy.”
“I see… ….”
The evaluations of the two were really polar opposites.
“On the other hand, Seoyoon seems to evaluate you objectively…… How to say It’s helping a lot. Thank you.”
“Nothing to say. I am happy to be of help to Seo-jun.”
Seoyun smiled softly.
It was a kind and warm smile.
Looking at that face, I could feel something unknown rising in my heart.
…… And.
I don’t say things like this because I’m a dime.
I think Seoyoon is a really precious girl to me.
I felt guilty for nothing. Why did you get caught on something like me? Before I lost my memory, I was really trash…… Oh, you can’t talk like that anymore.
“Ah, Mr. Seojun. You’ve been moving your body for a while, but aren’t you a little hungry?”
“Huh? A little bit?”
Because of the intense sparring, I am hungry.
“Good. I prepared some food…….”
Seoyoon carefully took out something from her.
She glanced away and realized it was a bento.
He is taking out his lunch box with a slightly embarrassed face.
When I unwrapped the beautiful wrapping cloth, I saw delicious food.
Rolled eggs, kimchi bundle, Jangjorim, tteokgalbi, pork bulgogi, raw meat, cucumber rolls, leaf mustard kimchi, bracken, spinach……
No, why are there so many of them?
“I am inexperienced, but I made it myself.”
“Oh great?”
“I hope you enjoy it. Oh, of course you don’t have to force yourself to eat…….”
“No, no. What are you saying.”
I hurriedly shook my hand.
“Right. Didn’t you put something like an elixir?”
“Oh, sorry. This time, I made ordinary ingredients, but next time I will definitely make a lunch box with good ingredients.”
“No, it’s not like that, it’s too burdensome…… How much did I get from you…….”
How much did I take so far?
You must have received hundreds of billions of won or more, right?
This is an amount that cannot be repaid even if you try to repay it all your life.
Come to think of it, I got a lot from Seoyoon. You taught me not only the elixir, but also the Ilsung Group’s preparation method. Seoyoon told me that it was nothing special, but later found out that it was a secret that only direct blood relatives could tell.
Jihyun was so surprised to hear that.
I heard there is an astronomical heirloom if you convert it into cash.
I was a little worried about this. If Seoyoon meets the wrong guy, isn’t it really dangerous?
No, is it similar to Yerin? He also gave me a lot of things last time. The same goes for Muramasa, whom I borrowed this time. But are you thinking of not returning this to Japan? The Japanese government continues to apply for a refund…….
“Come on, Mr. Seojun…… Here you go.”
I woke up from my thoughts.
Seoyoon was doing the chopsticks before I knew it.
He picked up a piece of food and gently handed it to me.
Oh, well. I’ve tried feeding them like this before.
To be honest, it’s a bit burdensome. Embarrassing too Yoona Seo. I have a hand
“No, it’s okay. I will eat it myself.”
“…… Are you like that? Sorry. I don’t care.”
Seoyun made a slightly sad face.
Her shoulders dropped slightly. It feels dull.
It’s hard to see Seoyoon smiling with her sad face.
No, really. Don’t do that.
“Okay, I’ll eat.”
“…… Ah.”
Suddenly, her face was alive.
“Now then, ah…… Please do.”
“Uh, yes. Ah… ….”
Seoyun’s chopsticks advanced a little further.
As I open my lips, her chopsticks squeeze slightly……
Jumping.
Suddenly, the sound of the locker room door opening was heard. What?
“Oh. Also the facilities are good. Seoyoon, are you here? I heard from Jihyun Lee…….”
Out of the blue, Park Kyu-seong broke into the training room.
“Gulp.”
At the same time as Seoyoon received and ate her food, Gyuseong Park’s eyes met.
‘No. Park Kyu-seong, why all of a sudden?’
I couldn’t contain my shock.
I’m sure the meeting time isn’t over yet?
And didn’t Jihyun tell you when the meeting is over?
– T-ring, T-ring.
A message came.
I reflexively checked my phone.
– Ah, sorry. The story ended a little early. I was supposed to text you, but is it a little late?
…… f*ck.
This is Jihyun. I f*cked up on purpose.
