The Girl I Saved Came Back As An S-rank Hunter

18 – Guild Leaders Clean Up

“You… Of the Hero Guild?”

It was a face I often saw on TV or in Internet articles.

“Oh, you recognize me. That’s right, it’s Hyeonseok Kang from the Hero Guild.”

He was the leader of the Hero Guild, one of the four major guilds in Korea, and was chosen as the best swordsman since Choi Tae-shik, the swordsman who created the Seonggwang Guild.

Although he has a warm face, the unknown aura felt from his naturally strong physique and trained muscular body created a subtle sense of intimidation.

“… Did you come to pick up Lee Ji-hoon?”

“Oh, yes. I came to pick you up because the ugly disciple is having trouble, but you look pretty funny.”

Kang Hyun-seok looked at me with interested eyes and held my hand. He looked at his hand, which was still shaking from the aftermath of earlier, and he asked.

“You just had an excellent eye for reading the flow of magic, right? Also, the unique characteristic probably seems to be telekinesis-type at a glance, but tying Ji-hoon was also an application of that characteristic.”

Kang Hyeon-seok accurately grasps and explains what just happened. I asked in surprise.

“How do you know all that?”

“Ah, it’s not like I have a lot of knowledge or anything like that. I just know that he is a kind of person similar to a young man.”

In the first place, the method of attack and the weapon used are also different, but the moment I tried to ask what he was talking about, he let go of my hand and said, as if he had read that mindset.

“I’m only familiar with the ability to detect and comprehend magical powers like you. Apparently, it feels like we put a lot of thought into the application of our unique characteristics, but if it went that far.”

Being sensitive to magical powers was something I learned naturally to survive because I was often in dungeons that didn’t fit my level.

But I’ve never thought that it was outstanding, but hearing that part praised by Kang Hyun-seok gives me a new feeling.

“About reading the flow of magical power, it happened that way. I wrote about unique characteristics for the first time today…. Seeing what Hunter Choi Sujeong did earlier, I got a rough idea.”

At those words, Kang Hyeon-seok made a surprised face and then laughed.

“Are you kidding me? After handling it so skillfully.”

“Actually, from my point of view, it was a moderate success.”

“Hmm, judging by the expression, I don’t think he’s lying….”

While we were talking like that, Soo-Jung Choi suddenly ran from a distance, blocked my way, and said with caution.

“Wonwoo, be careful. You never know when this man who likes to fight might attack you.”

“Hey, Mr. Choi. I like to fight with people who are like me, not just to beat anyone up.”

‘What else is Mr. Choi?’

Looking at Sujeongi who was called by a strange name, he tapped her on the shoulder as if he was okay.

“No big deal. We just talked about this and that last attack.”

“… Really?”

“Yeah, really.”

Then Soo-jung loosened her stiff posture as if she was relieved. Scratching his head, Kang Hyeon-seok apologized to me.

“hahahaha…. I’m sorry, young man. When I see a strong person, I can’t stand it because I want to fight, so I bothered the best student a lot.”

“Still, do you feel sorry? I don’t like it, but is it normal to send them to sparring every other day? That’s stalking.”

“Speaking of which…. Now that I’m talking about it, how about Dalian this week soon?”

“Oh no!”

Kang Hyeon-seok licks his lips at Sujeongi’s actions. Then I got curious and asked.

“Why do you call Sujeongi the best student?”

“Oh, that? It’s because i lost say overwhelmingly So she decided to call it that as a sign of respect and honorific. Originally, I was going to say honorifics too, but I left it out because Mr. Choi didn’t like it.”

“Yes?”

I was surprised to hear that Kang Hyeon-seok, a strong man who is always mentioned when asked to pick 10 active hunters representing Korea, lost overwhelmingly to Sujeong-i.

“Ah, Wonwoo. Listen carefully to that word. It’s because it’s sparring, so I didn’t use the real sword properly.”

“So we can do it with each other’s weapons….”

“Ah, then the deputy guild leader told me what to do. Go there and ask.”

Kang Hyeon-seok instantly becomes quiet at those words. And he spoke as if in a quiet mutter.

“If you do, your wife will beat you to death….”

Come to think of it, the deputy guild leader of the Hero Guild was also a Hunter.

I remember that he was an A-class hunter, but I vaguely remember that he was famous for being a great beauty, so there was a big article about the marriage of Beauty and the Beast.

It seems that even the strongest Hunter can’t help but be caught by his wife.

“More than that, mister. Shouldn’t we start with the aftermath now?”

“Um…. I guess so. That’s right for each other.”

“First of all, we have sealed off our children from coming here, so for a while, the media and nothing else will come.”

“That sounds nice. Hmm, first of all.”

Suddenly, he bowed down and said hello, and spoke in a serious voice unlike before.

“Kang Hyun-seok, the leader of the Hero Guild, apologizes on behalf of all of the Hero Guild. Sorry.”

“I… excuse me?”

“Stay still, Wonwoo.”

Unlike me, who was flustered, Sujeong calmed me down and looked at Kang Hyeon-seok.

“Do you admit that you used our guild as a place to make your students give up their obsession with the sword, and in the process caused damage not only to our guild, but also to all parts of society?”

Unlike before, Sujeong has a strict attitude. Kang Hyeon-seok also answered with a stiff face.

“Yes, I do.”

“Then the hero guild will bear all the damage and responsibility for this, right?”

“Yes, that is correct.”

“Okay. The evidence ends here.”

[Recording has ended]

The sound of a mobile phone recording ending from somewhere.

Sujeongi brings her mobile phone, which she had parked in the crack of a broken rock.

“I have prepared all the evidence now, and we will discuss the details later with Secretary Kang.”

“Okay. Well, my wife will take care of us as well.”

The two acted as if nothing had happened just now, and asked out of curiosity.

“What did you just do?”

“Oh, this is literally official evidence. It is evidence that our hero guild will bear all the damage that has occurred.”

“If you don’t make it clear, there are a lot of kids who just want to start a fight with it.”

I immediately understood what it meant.

Regardless of the size of the guild, it was normal for each other to keep each other in check, so to avoid stabbing each other in the back, they had to make sure they were nailing the data.

“What do you call a reward, but I feel sorry for the young man, so why don’t you learn a skill from me?”

“Skill?”

Kang Hyeon-seok suddenly suggests learning a skill from him.

“Do you think you can master my [Counterstrike]?”

At those words, Sujeongie expressed surprise and asked.

“Wonwoo-nim can learn that? You want to teach me?”

“It seems possible enough just by looking at the ability to grasp the flow of magical power before using the unique characteristics. Of course, did you say Wonwoo was the choice? It’s what young people do.”

Kang Hyeon-seok’s famous skill was definitely [One Sword]. A skill that pierces through any wall with a single attack.

On the other hand, I had never heard of the [Counterattack] Skill.

“If Wonwoo-nim is okay with it, I don’t think it would be bad for him to learn. It’s a skill I struggled with while dealing with…. I wonder if it suits Wonwoo especially well.”

“Ohh, Mr. Choi seems quite obedient to this young man. Do you think it’s someone you like?”

“Oh, man, keep your mouth shut!”

At the words of Kang Hyeon-seok, who spoke with shining eyes, Soo-jeong blushed and shouted back, perhaps ashamed.

Then he looked at me and continued talking.

“Even though this man looks like that, he is good at teaching. It’s because the disciple is like that.”

“Don’t be too hard on yourself, Mr. Choi. It’s just a little bit out of the way.”

Kang Hyeon-seok speaks while holding Lee Ji-hoon by his side, as if he had approached Lee Ji-hoon, who had fallen down before he knew it. Lee Ji-hoon is still drooping, losing his mind.

I thought about it a bit. Opportunities to learn something from S-class hunters are rare.

And didn’t you feel it today? One’s own weakness and the resentment that arises from it.

The S-class crystal must be strong enough to at least protect your back.

He is someone who will stand next to me, not someone who can’t be overlooked like before. That’s why you need power. Even more so if you want to work as a hunter in the future.

“I will learn.”

“Oh, good idea. I would have been sad if I ended up not being able to pass this skill on to anyone.”

Kang Hyeon-seok is happy with my words and likes them.

“Didn’t you pass everything on to Lee Ji-hoon?”

“Ah, because I have a warlike personality, I couldn’t master this skill. Well, because each person is different.”

“I see.”

In the end, it’s a story about becoming the only successor to this skill, so it doesn’t feel bad.

“I will contact you soon as soon as I get things sorted out. Give me your cell phone.”

“Yes? Ah yes.”

I took out my cell phone from my pocket and gave it to Kang Hyeon-seok, took a number and gave it back to me.

“It’s my number, so don’t ignore it when they call me.”

“Okay.”

“Then I will go first. If you notice it, it’s hard to fix it. See you later, my best friend.”

“Don’t make an accident because you can avoid watching.”

“hahahaha, I see. Ji-hoon and I will come to apologize later.”

After answering with a big smile, he disappeared with Lee Ji-hoon on his back.

“Should we stop going too? Secretary Kang will take care of the rest.”

After nodding my head at those words, I asked Soo-jeong about the fact that I was about to walk.

“If you haven’t eaten dinner, would you like to have dinner together at my house?”

Sujeongi’s pupils widened and narrowed again as she asked me.

“… You first seduced me not to go to that house, right? As expected Wonwoo, are you ready now….”

I thought I would say more, so I quickly cut off my words.

“That… That’s not it, you haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Originally, we decided to eat together, so it’s a story about eating together.”

Sujeong looked at my face and smiled happily. I feel like I’ve been caught up in something again.

“Whoops, is that so? All right. Trust me, what?”

And a moment of silence ensued.

Unlike usual, I spoke first this time.

“Thank you. Actually, I was giving up on everything, but you came to save me.”

“Of course. Because Wonwoo is mine. If there are humans trying to harm Wonwoo…. I’m going to get rid of it all, everything.”

“hahahaha…. Those words were very suspicious and burdensome at first, but now it’s nice to hear, too.”

This means that you are absolutely on my side. Faith is born, so just listening to it makes me feel better.

“I can say it hundreds or thousands of times, so if you want to hear it, say it as many times as you like. I’ll let you hear it.”

“Yes, I will.”

And then the silence came again. The two of us stared blankly at the half moon floating in the sky.

This relationship is not an ordinary feeling.

Soojeong also shows an appearance as if something is missing in her heart.

However, Sujeongi will also have scars, so she has no choice but to slowly try to figure it out.

And now, as the door of my heart, which had been in pain, opened, little by little I began to understand the truth.
