#2. Marry within four years?
Harin realized that everyone around her was looking at her, and she quickly picked up her writing instruments and put them in her hands.
“Sin… I’m sorry.”
Even though she finished organizing her pencil case, some of her boys couldn’t take her eyes off her.
I also understand their feelings.
That’s right, she is a woman who will later be called the flower of the academy.
She will be praised as the best beauty in the academy because she has a thrifty beauty.
Even thinking about it now, that she was able to marry Harin.
I thought it was a miracle that I was her first love.
It’s never easy to reach the destination of first love and marriage…
I couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
…I hesitated to approach Harin again.
Perhaps if I don’t pay any attention to her like this, we’ll live like parallel lines where we’ll never run into each other forever.
Because in her last life, I fell in love with Harin’s warm personality and her flower-like beauty, and worked hard to win her heart.
Harin finally gave her textbooks after my persistent courtship, and we were known as the most popular couple in the academy.
Last day at the academy looking at her in uniform. A picture taken at the graduation ceremony vividly popped into my head.
* *
It was a spring day when cherry blossoms were scattered.
After the graduation ceremony, the juniors drove us to the front gate of the academy to take pictures.
Although she declined to say that it was okay, Harin, who seemed to be in a good mood inside her, folded my arms and leaned against her body as if embarrassed.
One. Two. Three.
In line with the signals of her juniors, she and I did V and congratulated each other on graduation with her bright smile.
I thought no one could separate us…
I was the one who separated her from me.
It was when I had been married to her for less than a year that I found out that my body was incapable of making her pregnant.
It was really shocking.
We did not have children no matter how much we had a relationship, so we ended up going to the hospital.
The doctor has determined that I will never be able to have children.
I wanted to deny reality, so I visited other hospitals several times, but the answer I got back was the same.
I was… Unable to have a 2 year old.
From then on, all the misfortunes began.
S-class hunters worldwide are few in number, so their marriage is said to be a very big social gossip.
Of course, it could be seen as an interest in the lives of these individuals, but there was one more important background.
With a 99% probability, children’s talent as a hunter was determined by their parent’s rank.
A child born among hunters has awakened as a stronger hunter than her parents.
The theory that the ability to respond to spirits, which gives power to hunters, is passed on to children more deeply is the most believed theory at present.
There are many people who exaggerately say that the marriage between S-classes is the confirmation of the birth of another supernova hunter and the birth of a hero who will save mankind.
At the same time, it was a social atmosphere that it was considered a waste of resources and a shame on the global level, beyond the national level, for S-class hunters not to have children or to reject them.
The fact that we, as a couple of S-class Hunters, could not have children was something that could never be easily revealed to the world.
The day I told my mother-in-law and father-in-law with difficulty.
The first words of the father-in-law who silently listened to me with a cold expression were heavy.
[For a divorce.]
[Dad!]
Harin was startled and stopped the father-in-law, but her father-in-law’s attitude was like her iron wall.
[If I had known this in advance, I wouldn’t have given up Harin to a guy like you. It’s not too late now Let my daughter go.]
In shock, I left the house of my in-laws without saying anything that day.
[It’ll be okay… Inuk-ah… I’ll do it somehow… Somehow… I’ll try…]
It wasn’t okay at all.
And it was me, not Harin, who had to come up with a way somehow.
I ate every day without missing a single item of seafood that is said to be good for energy as well as undergoing various treatments.
There was not a single day that I neglected to exercise, and I did not miss a day in the relationship between husband and wife.
But… In the end we couldn’t bear fruit.
With each passing day, Harin’s parents’ divorce advice grew stronger.
The day she declared that she would cut off her relationship with Harin if she didn’t get a divorce.
Harin cried and told me.
[Honey. Can we really be happy?]
Her
I answered her as I hugged her without saying a word to her.
[Honey.]
[Huh?]
[…I will prepare the documents.]
Since I could no longer see my spouse in pain because of me, I said that I would divorce him first.
If it had been a problem that I could somehow solve with my own efforts, I could have endured and endured it, but this was not a problem at that level.
Harin’s life didn’t have to be ruined because of me.
She said time and time again that she would think about it a little more, and that there would be a way, but I knew.
What is the right choice.
She kept me from crying until the day I finally went to the court and filed the papers.
[Don’t go. Inwook-ah. Don’t go.]
[I need to find a good man. Harina.]
So I left behind my newlywed life, and left the place that used to be our home.
* *
What is a Hunter, as it is the first day of the homeroom. He explained what would be done.
It was something everyone knew, but I had no choice but to listen.
‘Gate’ appeared about 15 years ago.
The gates of another world opened to the sky, and countless monsters began to pour out.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No weapon crafted from the essence of modern science could hit them with their terrifying form.The scenes of mercilessly slaughtering the army created an atmosphere as if the end was approaching for humans.
But did I say that there is no law that says you have to die? As the monsters appeared, some humans were given the power to defeat them from the spirits.
It has not been revealed yet as to how the spirits select people.
And today, those selected by the spirits are being trained as specialists against monsters, and we have come to call them Hunters.
Graduation is essential in order to become a hunter at the Hunter Academy.
Here, selectors learn all the basics of a hunter, and when they graduate, they are given a rank and become qualified as a full-fledged hunter.
In the case of me in my previous life, I achieved S rank as soon as I graduate. It was the same with Harin.
The year I graduated was the year that produced an unusually large number of S-classes, so I set a record that will remain in the history of the academy.
So the first day of the academy ended with an orientation consisting of obvious explanations.
I was about to pack my bag and go home, but someone came to my seat.
“I… there…”
Familiar voice.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No. The main character with a voice only familiar to me.It was Harin.
“Huh?”
She hesitates as she sweeps her black black hair.
In the past life, it seems that you didn’t say anything to me on the first day of admission.
I couldn’t figure out why she was talking to me.
“Choi… Inwook. Right?”
I nodded.
Why do you know?
Did you memorize your name when your former homeroom teacher teased you with my test paper?
She suddenly reaches out her hand.
“I’m Ha-rin Yoon.”
Would you like to shake hands?
I don’t know what to expect, so I reached out and grabbed her hand.
“…Please take good care of me in the future.”
Her words are a little hesitant.
She had a slightly complicated expression to say hello to a classmate she met for the first time.
“Uh… uh! Yeah… Let’s get along… We.”
I thought the handshake would be over soon, but for some reason, it was her hand that went into her hand a little too much.
“That… hand… a little…”
I smiled slightly and talked to her.
“Ah… sorry.”
Her hand fell from mine helplessly.
I got up with my bag on my back.
“I will go. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Unable to continue her conversation any longer, I greeted her and quickly left her classroom.
When was the last time you looked at Harin’s face for so long?
She returned to her youthful days and met her again, she was still shining.
She had been with her longer than any of her wives.
The saying that a man can’t forget his first love forever is a story about someone like Harin.
I trudged down the stairs and looked around the academy.
There were traces of Harin everywhere.
Behind the 1st floor auditorium where she had her first kiss.
The first wall I crossed with Harin while playing polka dots.
The Garosu-gil at the back door that took me to the back door even though I was on the opposite side of the house.
It is no longer our memory. It must have become my own memory.
After returning home, I talked with my family for quite some time after dinner.
There are a lot of unfinished stories. I want to see her mom a lot even now.
It was a story that was nothing, but he kept talking hesitatingly until he was told to stop and take a break.
Coming back to my room, I lay on my bed and stared blankly at the black ceiling.
How the hell did I come to life?
Actually, what I thought was my previous life, was it all a long nightmare?
Worrying about the unanswered questions, I fell into a deep sleep.
* *
[Open your eyes. Inwook Choi. There is no time.]
A heavy voice that I can’t remember woke me up.
There was nothing in sight.
At least it was clear that it wasn’t my room.
[Who are you? You]
I didn’t have any weapons, but I was ready to go into battle at any time.
In the formless darkness, only a voice could be heard.
[I am the spirit of the beginning. Those who wish to protect the earth from invasions from other worlds.]
The spirit of the beginning…?
Little was known about the spirits.
All I know is that they lend power to the Hunters for some reason.
I had never even heard of a person who talked to a spirit.
[Keep in mind. The period given to your second life is only four years.]
4 Years…? Four years later, after graduating from the academy, it was the year I married Harin.
[You must succeed in marriage and have children. Otherwise…]
After that, I couldn’t hear properly.
He seemed to be saying something, but the content didn’t reach me.
[□□□ □□□ □□ □ □□ □□□ □□ □□ □□□□]
[What?]
[Don’t forget. 4 Years.]
After those words, my voice was cut off and I woke up.
The loud sound of an alarm clock filled the room.
A voice that remains in my mind too clearly to be called a dream.
And above all, the voice knew I had returned.
If what the original spirit said is true…
In 4 years I have to choose my bride within the academy.
