Chapter 7 – Lightning Genius of Hunter Academy
One
A few days later, I was eating an ice cream in front of a convenience store.
I started to train for basic strength through Baeksan because I was jogging and training every night.
“Eat that and run more.”
“Aren’t you eating too much?”
I took a bite of the melon flavored ice cream and spoke as if complaining, but Baeksan only snorted.
“I look after you because of what I’m wearing. If that’s the case, I’ll roll it to the level that I miss this time.”
I’m already afraid.
Even though it had been a while since I started training, I had a tired expression on my face, suffering from muscle pain every morning.
It’s what I asked for, but I use it without hesitation.
At that moment, I turned my head to the phone that started ringing.
The author’s number was on it, and I answered the phone.
“Yes, Ji-eun.”
[ … … Hachan oppa, have you awakened as a hunter? ]
Although I suffered an internal injury, it did not interfere with my daily life, so I decided to go to the hospital every day and continued to work at the company.
Every time Seol-hyang Baek ran into me at work, he seemed to be dissatisfied with it and came to me and put red ginseng and other things in it.
Anyway, I had a bit of an argument with Ji-eun before going to solve this Kwak Sa-yeon issue.
To be precise, it may be true that she was sad because I did not tell the author about my situation at all.
‘He must have felt that he was the only one to me.’
Especially since he is a Ji-eun who has feelings for me, even more so.
As a result, my relationship with Ji-eun has been a bit awkward lately.
I’m trying to treat you like usual, but it felt like the author was dead.
He seemed to be concerned about the way he looked at me.
You must have heard from the team leader, as he posted a vacation letter to attend the Hunter Academy, which is essential if he awakened as a hunter through Seolhyang Baek.
Authors with good communication skills come from all over the world to hear stories.
“That’s it.”
[Then, where did you get hurt every day? ]
“I have awakened my abilities. I mean, it’s not quite right. I was rolling around because I didn’t have any talent.”
When he answered with a sly smile, the author was silent.
[The reason you didn’t tell me is that if you wake up as a hunter, you have to quit your job? ]
There have been many people who have awakened to hunters from a long time ago, quit their existing jobs, and changed their occupations to hunters.
Although a hunter is a dangerous job, the salary is good, and if he has the skills, he can be treated much better than a normal job.
That is why the author seems to have misunderstood when he heard that I had awakened.
“no. I don’t think so.”
[ but… … . ]
“Jieun-ah, I am your manager. You become official hunters, and you are here to help.”
[ Yes. ]
“So I don’t want to let go of my seat so easily.”
This hunter registration is like an identity to create in consideration of the possibility of legal disputes in the future.
It’s not meant to be a Hunter job.
[Sigh. ]
At that moment, a cry was suddenly heard from the author’s side.
I was embarrassed to hear the sound, and when I called Ji-eun’s name, Ji-eun spoke with a crying voice.
[I don’t know if my brother thinks that way, but I thought that he would leave me, I would be worried, so he didn’t say it, I thought, I thought. ]
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No, that’s not it.The author continued to whimper as if he had misunderstood something.
After scratching my head for a moment, I looked up at the night sky with a troubled expression.
Yeah, well, if you misunderstand me like that, it might be better to just skip it.
“Jieun-ah, I’m not going anywhere.”
[Yeah, Peeing. ]
The author, who had heard the sound of blowing his nose for a while, stopped sniffing and said to me.
[ I’m sorry. ‘Cause I’m so childish ]
“Nope. This can be happen.”
[ … … So can I act like a child just one more time? ]
I tilted my head.
This is because she, who was young but showed a mature attitude, has been acting foolishly for some reason.
In fact, the author must have accumulated a lot here and there.
“it’s okay.”
[ I miss you oppa. ]
However, I hit a straight ball I didn’t expect.
I was a little embarrassed, and after I was silent, the author asked a little.
[ … … No? ]
An eerie voice filled with emotions came from over the phone.
Hearing that slightly moist voice made me conscious for nothing.
‘Damn, how old are you doing this to a 19-year-old?’
I felt pathetic for myself as I knew the whole process of the author’s love affair.
The author is usually active, but does not cross the line.
Because she knows very well that if I confess to her, she will almost certainly reject it.
Because, in my eyes, Ji-eun is young and close to a younger sister who needs to be taken care of.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No matter how rationally she approached her, the age difference that was revealed was unavoidable.But today, I was trying to narrowly cross that line, perhaps because my emotions were a bit intense.
“Hey, I’m working out.”
[You said you can act like a child. ]
Seeing the author ranting with a slightly droopy voice, I put on a perplexed expression on my face.
“Could you be patient with a video call?”
I was sure
The moment the author meets me right now, I will run into a runaway in one way or another.
And it won’t end very well.
[ like. I won’t be greedy any more. ]
I breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, I wondered if it would be okay to just skip it like this.
‘Isn’t it better to make a confession and say no?’
I’m grateful that someone likes me, but because of the age difference and the feeling of knowing and taking advantage of her position, I couldn’t really understand her feelings.
Why on earth do I have to worry about this while working for a company?
He only smiled bitterly as he mastered the difficulties of human relationships.
[ Huh?! Oh, wait a minute. Oppa, I just cried so my face looks like that! Wait a minute, can I walk? ]
I’ll do makeup.
I said I would know.
Then the phone was disconnected with the sound of people moving in a hurry, laughing hehehehe from the author’s side.
Glancing at my phone, I let out the melting ice cream in my mouth and sighed.
Then Baeksan’s eyes met, and he said while sitting cross-legged on the top of the convenience store.
“Ji-eun, how did you notice that little boy’s heart?”
“yes? Author?”
Even Baeksan seemed to have a lot of tea that the author liked.
“Yeah, you can see it.”
“I see that, why?”
Baeksan looked at him with absurd glances and then clicked his tongue as if he understood.
“I hope that’s how it happened.”
“what.”
“You think that little boy is all right?”
“No, what kind of bullshit.”
When I looked at it with absurd eyes, Baeksan just tickled his tongue over and over again.
“Other guys have a tendency to be like flowers on the cliff, so they must have unconsciously turned away from it all after experiencing the fact that if you approach a cliff because of a bitch, you will fall.”
I tilted my head when I heard the word “flower on the cliff”.
It was because it was surprising that Kwak Sa-yeon was even mentioned.
“Listen. Then one day something really big will happen.”
“So.”
“know. I know, ma’am. You, I’ll see you after raising enough so that the returnees can be ridiculed like this. Even after standing on an equal footing with those guys, will you be able to maintain that posture?”
Baeksan said so and floated into the air.
It was as if he didn’t want to listen to me on the phone any more.
As he was about to fly, he thought of something and stopped.
He looked down at me in the air and stood still, then laughed at what immediately came to mind.
“From that point of view, the most likely thing right now is that kid. I look forward to seeing them later.”
After leaving those words, Baeksan went for a night walk alone.
He used to say that he had to be with me 24 hours a day, but he was away quite often.
“Nawon.”
I put the ice cream stick in the trash can and sighed and trudged away.
It was meant to run again until the author called.
‘Because I’m training every night, it’s bittersweet that I’ve been playing less games lately.’
Recalling the days of playing games like a bad guy, I suddenly turned my head to the faint sound in my ear.
I was in a nearby park because I could hear people coming from the side of the bushes.
‘Are you drunk?’
It was the moment when I approached through the bushes thinking that if I was drunk, I had to report it to go home.
I met a large man leaning against a tree.
Will you be about 190 cm tall?
He exuded a masculine side and was a man with tattoos everywhere, but his black and white hair was a mixture of black and white, which reminded him of a tiger.
At the same time, for some reason, there was an atmosphere that could not be approached.
“Ugh.”
Then he made a sound of pain, so I hurriedly approached him.
“Teacher, are you okay? Where are you hurt?”
There is no such thing as a gangster these days, but when I looked at the scene, it was not strange to come from being stabbed with a knife.
But he looked really bad, so when I asked him to check his consciousness from a certain distance, he made another sound of pain and looked up.
Then his bright yellow eyes met me.
“… … Buy one of my loaves.”
Was it just a beggar?

I couldn’t help but ask for a loaf of bread, so I bought several loaves of bread and two cartons of milk and gave them to him.
Maybe I was well aware of the sadness of not being able to eat because I didn’t have money, so I couldn’t pass it up.
‘I’m tearing bread from people I’ve never seen before, and I’m so happy.’
But as soon as he began to devour bread and milk as if caught in a shackle, that thought soon vanished.
Yes, I also got a meal from Ayu, and I pay it back to someone else.
If the world is just too rough, it will not taste good.
“Hey, I’ll live.”
He finished all the bread and milk I had bought him, and said with a relaxed expression.
His clothes and appearance were so, but his face itself wasn’t that scary.
To be honest, he has thick lines and is handsome like a man.
I feel like a woman in her late 20s would like it more than a teenager.
“Thank you. I lived because of you. I haven’t seen a good acquaintance like you in a long time.”
Apparently, he spoke in a dialect as if he was from Gyeongsang-do.
Maybe it was because there was someone from Gyeongsang-do among the game acquaintances, so I smiled as I felt familiar.
“It’s just helping. I remember starving myself.”
“Hey, what a good guy. Among the children I know, there is a good one like you, but he reminds me of him.”
He laughed out loud and said that, then pulled something out of his pocket.
What he took out was some business card.
On the black business card was a single letter, printed in silver.
“There is nothing I can repay for the grace I received right away, even if I take this. If anything has to do with my son, or if he has a naughty-looking son, show me this.”
“What is this?”
“In terms of a game, it’s like an invincible wait that can overcome a crisis.”
Apparently he was enjoying the game.
They said they were giving it back for a favor, but I had no reason not to receive it, so I took the card and put it in my pocket.
He smiled contentedly at the sight, then got up, brushing his ass.
“The next time I see you, your kindness will be repaid unconditionally. See you again if you have a chance.”
“Oh, yes, come in. If possible, go home.”
“I know. go home at home.”
Having said that, he waved his hand and walked away.
It looked like he was just dying of hunger.
‘What? This strange familiarity.’
While I was scratching my head, I thought I would and started running again. After a while, Ji-eun called and answered the phone.
For reference, the author was full makeup.
