***
Autumn was slowly coming to an end.
Seo Hyun-woo was dressed in thick clothes and checked the time from time to time.
I had already grasped Jinha Kang’s location, but I was planning to walk around a bit more and look at the situation.
“Are you feeling a little better?”
“It has improved a lot. It’s not difficult to use your abilities now.”
Ryu Seon-hwa walked side by side with Seo Hyeon-woo and looked at the falling leaves.
It seemed that Seo Hyun-woo met frequently after graduating from Miterichi.
Perhaps because of that, I felt more at ease, and I thought that my bond with the Church of Kraxis and the Demonis team would gradually disappear.
“As I said before, there is no need to fight. You just have to go in and check it out.”
“I’ll try my best.”
Seo Hyun-woo sounded a little uneasy about Ryu Seon-hwa’s answer.
He told me that the gate might appear, and he even advised that he must enter.
Even so, Ryu Seon-hwa did not even show any hesitation, and only unconditionally agreed.
“Isn’t it scary?”
“If you’re happy, that’s enough.”
“Am I not suspicious?”
“There is no reason to doubt.”
“Aren’t you trusting people too easily?”
“It’s easy to trust you, not people.”
“Could I be the bad guy?”
“It doesn’t matter though. Then I’ll be a bad bitch too.”
Ryu Seon-hwa smiles brightly and looks at Seo Hyun-woo deeply.
He no longer had Kraxis or the Demonis team left.
Nothing could make his heart warm.
Only Seo Hyun-woo was able to awaken the frozen feelings.
“This part is the same as before.”
“It was a little different back then. Now I’m trusting you, not Kraxis.”
“I’m glad you’re calm, though. You are well dressed.”
“It’s a little sad. I want to dress prettier.”
Ryu Seon-hwa touched the red coat and let it go.
Unlike before, she rarely wore revealing clothes.
A white shirt that looks over the red coat, black pants that look casual, and blue sneakers with a pattern.
He was wearing clothes with good activity because he could move violently.
“It’s still pretty enough.”
“Is that a lie? There’s no way you could call me pretty.”
“You look prettier because you usually quarrel. Are you satisfied now?”
“It’s a little bit satisfying. Can’t you be a little more sincere?”
Ryu Seon-hwa plays a prank and observes Seo Hyun-woo’s reaction.
Seo Hyun-woo seemed to ponder for a moment, then spoke softly.
“I think I will fall in love.”
“… huh!”
Ryu Seon-hwa, who heard those words, immediately stopped inhaling the empty wind.
It felt like my heart stopped and my breathing was getting worse.
It was as if he was slowly dying with the hope he had been waiting for for a long time.
“Are you okay?”
“I… I love you too.”
“…?”
Seo Hyun-woo pats Ryu Seon-hwa on the back and makes an expression as if he doesn’t understand.
He asked me to be sincere, so he just said something plausible with a bit of a joke.
Is it possible to shake things like that with just one word?
“Why are you really like this?”
“Ha… ha ha… I feel like my heart has stopped.”
“You can’t be alive with your heart stopped.”
“Isn’t he already dead?”
“Then did I die too?”
“Then let’s make it alive.”
“What the hell do you want to say?”
“I think I can die now.”
“Huh… I’m going crazy, really.”
Seo Hyun-woo pats Ryu Seon-hwa on the back stronger and shakes his head.
At least I thought it was better than when I was obsessed with Kraxis.
Although he had a slightly unusual reaction, he didn’t bother me.
“Can you feel the truth now?”
“Even if it’s a lie, I can take it seriously.”
“You seem to know it’s a lie.”
“I know. Are there any girls prettier than me?”
“It’s better to be kind and sincere than to look pretty.”
“That’s not right. No matter how kind and sincere you are, no one will look after you if you are ugly.”
Ryu Seon-hwa finally comes to his senses and slowly adjusts his breathing.
Seo Hyun-woo seemed to be observing Ryu Seon-hwa carefully, and then started walking again.
“Certainly, it is better to be handsome than to be ugly.”
“Think about it. Do you think this relationship could last if either of us were ugly?”
“Uh… I didn’t even think about it until then, did I?”
“Can’t you imagine? So do I. There are probably quite a few women who cling to you, right?”
“…that doesn’t seem like a lot, does it?”
“Children who say this often go out to play with girls.”
“…?”
Seo Hyun-woo tried to respond to him, but he quickly shuts his mouth.
To be honest, there were many times when I was with Baek Seo-yeon or Irev Kanasual.
If it was said that he went out to play, he would not be able to deny it very much.
“See if there is. Are you prettier than me?”
“Can’t we just go ahead and pretend that I’m just as pretty as you?”
“Still, I’m not saying it’s ugly. After all, Hyeonu’s face and abilities support him, right?”
“Since we are the same student council executive, we are friendly. We will see you soon.”
“Well…”
Ryu Seon-hwa had already made the decision to join the subjugation team founded by Seo Hyun-woo.
In the end, I had to face other people, and no matter what I did, I had no choice but to move together.
Even for Seo Hyun-woo, I thought I would contribute to the operation of the subjugation team by staying as close to them as possible.
“If you look prettier than me, I can admit it. It’s not bad if you have the skills.”
“Are you looking at your face a lot?”
“You have to be handsome and pretty to have eyes. I don’t even want to see ugly kids.”
“It’s not a sin to be ugly, right?”
“It’s not a crime, but you have to bear the damage. If you are upset, you will have to have plastic surgery.”
“Too extreme.”
“Realistic. I only want to see good things. The two of them are a little bit worth seeing.”
Ryu Seon-hwa looked at the two men and women in front of him and muttered.
I thought I’d seen both of them at least once or twice.
“Now I have to go in with them.”
“… who?”
“Have you seen both?”
“I think so, but I can’t remember.”
“Didn’t you even introduce yourself as my girlfriend with your mouth?”
Seo Hyun-woo sheds a smile and approaches the two men and women.
Now I had to follow those two and face Cerberus, one of the four hells.
To be precise, I was thinking of bringing an object from the dungeon, not Cerberus.
‘I can’t take Cerberus. I’ll bring the sword to Ryu Seon-hwa and look for something else.’

“When did you graduate Miterich?”
“It’s been quite a while. I think it’s been about two or three weeks.”
Seo Hyun-woo walked around the dungeon and answered Kang Jin-ha’s question.
Lava was flowing inside the dungeon, and the ground was made of dull and dry soil.
However, there was no feeling of heat, and not even a single monster could be found.
Because the owner of this dungeon, Cerberus, was weakened, the environment and topography were also affected.
“I understand that you have been issued a Black Hunter license.”
“If I say it’s not a big deal, would you think I’m a cheeky bastard?”
“…not really.”
“How long are you going to be respectful? Feel free to call me.”
“Because you are a Black Hunter, I will be polite.”
“Security… Oh, no. Yoo Shi-eun, how are you?”
“I think it’s right to do it like Jinha.”
“If anyone knew, they would know that he left the army. Ugh…”
Seo Hyun-woo suddenly wondered if there was any difference between Miterichi’s student council and the military.
Hard tone and linear structure, position determination according to victory or defeat, direct performance of the student council executives, etc.
In some ways, it may have been more vicious and outdated than the military.
“Your image is not very good.”
Although Ryu Seon-hwa spoke calmly, he was releasing magical power little by little.
Since they entered the dungeon, they had to be prepared to fight at any time.
He couldn’t handle the newly acquired abilities perfectly, but he was able to help Seo Hyun-woo.
“No way. At first he acted a little strangely, but later he treated me well.”
“Then why are you reacting like that?”
“You can’t ask me that.”
Although Seo Hyun-woo had a displeased expression on his face, he did not argue much.
Even in the original content, Kang Jin-ha was unconditionally respectful to Seo Hyun-woo.
The other managers were the same, and only Jin Se-hee was the only one who spoke nonsense.
“Why did the president come all the way here?”
“Isn’t it wrong for an official hunter to enter the gate? By the way, you and Yoo Si-eun are there, so we’re going to go together.”
Of course it was a lie.
In order to enter this dungeon, Jinha Kang had to be present.
Above all, inside this dungeon, a weapon that only Ryu Seon-hwa could use was hidden.
“There is nothing to fight, so you can rest assured.”
“I think it’s a little bit dangerous. You have to be prepared.”
Seo Hyun-woo intentionally showed a serious appearance and released his magical power.
As Jinha Kang said, Cerberus never attacked first.
I just pretended to fit the mood because it looked natural if I had to do it this way.
‘I haven’t checked this dungeon properly. Other than that sword, there may be something hidden.’
According to the original content, Jinha Kang and Seonhwa Ryu had to enter this dungeon together.
As a result, he would be able to deal with Cerberus, a first-class monster that was moving forward, and Ryu Seon-hwa would get a sword that binds to his abilities.
Seo Hyun-woo was trying to find new possibilities including the results.
‘Now I have to fight them. If I don’t get stronger here…’
“Kurre…”
The cry of the beast could be heard faintly.
Jin-ha Kang ran straight to the place where Cerberus was, and Si-eun Yoo followed quickly.
Seo Hyun-woo moved slowly and started looking for a sword that was stuck somewhere.
“Can I not follow you?”
“You will be fine. He’s pretty strong too.”
“What are you here for…”
Ryu Seon-hwa suddenly stopped and looked around.
A strong yet numerous voices were heard from somewhere.
Unknowingly, his emotions became intense and his magical energy began to overflow.
“Hyunwoo, follow me for a second.”
“… okay.”
Seo Hyun-woo didn’t have to ask why.
It must have been that he instinctively grasped the location of the sword.
Wouldn’t it be easier to face the sword if you follow it quietly?
‘The Leviathan is over there… is there anything else?’
Seo Hyun-woo was able to follow Ryu Seon-hwa to the place where the sword was.
I had to see the end as soon as possible.
After Jinha Kang finishes communicating with Cerberus, the dungeon will disappear immediately.
‘I feel something cold. no way…’
