#49. .
It was an accurate analysis.
“Stupid bastards. They both don’t leave. They seem to have good skills, but their heads don’t seem to be spinning.”
Once again, a white sphere that broke my arm started to form in his hand.
“I can’t delay this any longer, so let’s finish it quickly.”
It looked twice as big as before.
If it was said that it would be separated as before a while ago, I think at least 4… 5 Sizes will come out.
“Let’s go! Hurry up! We can’t fight while protecting!”
Yelled at me as she grabbed her forearm.
“…I’ll make you win. Just do what I tell you.”
Her I spoke to her once again in her low voice.
She couldn’t be spiky if she honestly said she would continue to ignore me.
Even if it’s like me, I wouldn’t of course follow a man I met for the first time to tell me to follow his orders.
Lee Ji-eun, who looked at me with unknown eyes for a moment, nodded her head.
“…Tell me.”
“For now, you have to watch and avoid this guy’s attack.”
There was a huge difference between predicting and avoiding an attack and seeing and avoiding it.
Predicting the opponent’s movement and taking the first move in response is an ability that can be acquired through experience, but seeing and avoiding it is not at that level.
Pure body sight.
And the agility to react immediately.
These two factors were the basics for reaching the peak as a hunter, and were also factors that frustrate many people.
Unfortunately, this was not the realm of effort.
Innate sense of battle.
If she was a real genius, she would have understood what I was saying.
The huge sphere started flying towards Lee Ji-eun.
And again, as expected, her sphere began to disintegrate in front of her at a rapid rate.
At first glance, there seems to be eight.
Is it possible?
I looked at her with her worried gaze as she prepared her to avoid her sphere from sticking out.
And like a lie, she…
Exhibits insane flexibility like a person without joints, dodging all attacks.
Even the last sphere that flew in an unavoidable trajectory was torn in half by her sword.
“…What’s next?”
With only her head slightly turned back, she raised her sword.
It seemed that poetry was visible from her back.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No. It’s more of a poem than a poem…It resembled me holding a sword.
“Avoiding this?”
The Sulwhagyo guy looked embarrassed when his conversion strike didn’t give a valid hit.
But for a while. He started creating spheres once again.
“They’re lucky guys.”
He seems to have thought that she had escaped with even her beginner’s luck, but you’re welcome.
I was sure of victory.
“Just attacked. You can dodge it again.”
Lee Ji-eun nodded her head.
“As soon as I dodge it. I’m going to hit it right away. Concentrate all my magic on the tip of the blade in advance.”
The sphere flew towards us again.
“Now!”
Once again, Lee Ji-eun bent her waist more than 90 degrees to avoid her attack.
She did exactly what I wanted her to do.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Now it was my turn.Injecting all the remaining magical power into the sword, I threw the sword towards the guy with my left hand as best I could.
It was really different from the attacks I’ve shown him so far because it was all about squeezing out all the magic to the point where it was impossible to avoid the next attack.
Even though he couldn’t see his expression through the mask, he could feel his embarrassment up to this point.
There was no choice but to create a loophole for him, who forced himself to dodge the sword.
And the ending is…
The tip of Lee Ji-eun’s sword drew a graceful curve.
He fell to the floor helplessly, unable to avoid her attack.
And I also slumped on the floor.
If there was a follow-up team, I would have reached this point.
After sweeping the entire Sulhwagyo gang, she ran towards me.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes. Now, don’t worry about me, go back and get your friends out.”
“What about you?”
“Because my body can handle it on its own. I don’t have time. The longer I stay in it, the worse the situation will be. Hurry up.”
Her eyes trembled.
“…What’s your name?”
She asked me.
“…It’s a secret.”
I didn’t want to be a topic of discussion, and if this news spread widely, my ex-wives would definitely not leave me alone.
“Tell me quickly. Just listen to that and go to the store.”
“Because my name doesn’t matter at all. Listen to me.”
“Then just tell me this.”
Lee Ji-eun looked straight into my eyes.
“…You. How old are you?”
There are far more uncles than you, though.
I opened her mouth as she wanted to let her go and it wouldn’t matter how old she was.
“Twenty years old. Are you ready? Let’s go for real.”
“I’m here without going anywhere. I’ll be there soon.”
With those words, she started running down her hallway.
After confirming that Lee Ji-eun had disappeared, I got up.
I felt my legs tremble, but I had to leave the scene.
I put on my gown again and fixed my glasses, and I quickly walked out of the building.
And that evening.
As a news feature, [Sulwhagyo Yangjae Magic Tool Workshop Attack Incident] Was reported, and from that day on, Lee Ji-eun became the most famous student in the first year of all Hunter Academy.

“Are you crazy? Are you crazy?”
Jenna hit my back with a clapping sound.
“It… Fell down the stairs…”
“To make excuses with a sound that is not the same.”
Once again, a cracking sound echoed through my room.
“Yeah. Let’s say you fell down by yielding a hundred steps. Why did you run out of magic power?”
…How did this happen?
I rushed out of the workshop and went straight to the hospital.
Hunter Because it was not a hospital that specialized in treating patients, the doctor did a CT scan and put a cast on his arm like any other patient.
“Please refrain from excessive activities.”
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Nodding my head at the doctor’s request, I left the hospital.I tried to sneak into my room as quietly as possible because of my parents who seemed to make a fuss when they saw me in a cast for nothing.
But there was an unexpected guest waiting at the house.
Shoes that are too girly for a mother’s.
As she entered the hallway through the front door, she heard her mother’s voice and her familiar voice.
“No~ Mother~”
“Aigoo. Miss. Thank you. Inwook took care of us.”
…It was Jena.
It was obvious that she came to our house because of me.
Ha…
I took a deep breath and opened my mouth with the most eloquent voice I could.
“I’ve been there~”
“Hey, Inuk-ah. Your guest has arrived.”
My mother still looked at my arms and her eyes widened.
“No. You came to see a friend and what’s that arm? Is it broken?”
My mother wasn’t the only one who was surprised.
Jenna was also looking at me with a puzzled expression.
“Choi In-wook. You. You came here with a friend, right?”
“Then~ I met a classmate when I was in middle school.”
Jena opened her eyes haphazardly and she called my mother.
“Mother. Is it okay if I take a look at Inwook’s condition?”
“How do you get my permission for such a thing? That’s what Inwook likes. Can I see it? Son?”
I wanted to say no, but at Jena’s tingling gaze, I shook her head and nodded.
Jena naturally followed me into my room and as soon as she closed the door, she changed.
And that was the situation.
“Maybe it’s because of Ezion that the magic power ran out…?”
I didn’t want to tell the truth, so I spit out anything that came to mind.
But I picked the most plausible one out of all the excuses that just came to mind, but Jena’s expression became very serious.
“If what you said is true. Are you in a very critical situation right now? You should be hospitalized again right now…”
“No, no! I came using my magic power today. I went out and used it all up, so I’m not here!”
Her words that popped out of her mind that she didn’t want her to worry her seemed to have worried her twice as much.
When I confessed the truth, Yena hit my back with a full swing.
“Really. I can’t live. I.”
She continued to nagging like a storm.
“I even sent a text message this morning to get some rest, but where are you roaming around like that?”
“Then why don’t you go to the academy? Why aren’t you going to meet your friend?”
She was the one who took great care of me, so Yena thought she deserved to rebuke me.
Jena was silent for a while, as if she had pulled out all her words inside her.
“…So. You won’t tell me what you’ve been up to until the end?”
“It didn’t matter.”
When I didn’t open my mouth until the end, she seemed to give up.
“…Put your arm out this way.”
As she extended her casted arm toward her, a warm magical energy began to flow from her hand.
“Probably, by the time you return to the academy, you’ll be all set.”
The doctor said it would take about two months.
It was a great ability, even though it was not the same as her previous life.
“I’m leaving. It seems to cause trouble if it stays for too long.”
“…Thank you. Jena.”
In this life, she always took care of me even though she was always tickling.
She tried to take Jena, who had greeted her mother, at least to her bus stop, but she insisted on where her patient was crawling.
“Choi Inwook.”
With her shoes on, she grabbed her doorknob and spoke.
“Don’t get hurt.”
Today, she was the one who left without hearing my answer.
I don’t know if it’s what Jena asked her to listen to, but I listened intently to the last words that came out of her mouth before the door closed.
[…Because I’m upset.]
