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

3 – I came to join the guild and got into trouble

I saw a 10-story building with a glass exterior that looked like it had just been built.

[Crystal Guild]

A nicely engraved sign on the top of the building. And underneath, a promotional video about Choi Soo-jung’s performance and the guild is playing on the LED display board.

“… Is this a new guild?”

Since it is a guild created by S-class hunters, it feels unusual from the start.

“I still don’t know if this is a good thing….”

In the end, after thinking about it all night, I contacted Choi Soo-jung the next day and said that I would join the guild.

Then, as if he had waited, he sent me the address of the guild building, telling me to start the contract process tomorrow.

First of all, my guess is not certain, and they say it gives me a chance to catch my dream again in the face of a bleak reality, but the conditions were too attractive to give up.

A-class healer hunters that I got to know through famous hospitals or hunter connections all said they didn’t know the cause or gave up during treatment.

Unlike him, Choi Soo-jung, who is an S-class, showed a confident appearance, so we have no choice but to have her last hope.

“Let’s go in and talk again and judge. It’s because we haven’t signed a contract yet.”

After passing the revolving door entrance, I saw a spacious interior decorated as neatly as the exterior.

While I was looking around to see where I should go, a man who appeared to be a security guard wearing a blue hat and a deep blue hat approached me.

“Get out.”

“Yes?”

When I told him what had happened with a straight face, he asked back in embarrassment.

Then the guard looked me up and down and then yelled louder.

“Can’t you hear me? Get out This is not the kind of place anyone just walks into!”

“hahahaha… “

I laughed out loud because I was so full of energy that I was being treated in a half-spoken language.

Perhaps seeing me appearing without any equipment and wearing shabby clothes, they thought I was just a civilian or a small merchant, so it was huge.

“Aren’t you leaving? Do you have to use your strength to get out? Uh?”

A high-handed security guard who appears to be trying to pull out a black club worn by his side.

It creates a sense of pressure on me through a grim face and a large body.

“I was called here by the guild leader. Haven’t you heard?”

In my mind, I already felt like I wanted to go home from the guild, but I held it in and explained it to clear up the misunderstanding.

Then the security guard sneered and laughed.

“Ah, that is absurd. Are you telling me to believe it now? Where did everyone hear that a precious person is coming today? I know how many guys like you are today!”

After uttering angry words, he pulls out the black truncheon from his side.

Today, it seemed like there were only one or two people pretending to be saying this, as if they were already annoyed.

Moreover, judging from my current appearance, I’m sure I’m even more convinced that that’s not going to happen.

‘How do I do this? Should I wait for Choi Soo-jung to come?’

While thinking about it for a while, the security guard wielded the truncheon without hesitation.

Fortunately, when the attack comes with an easy-to-read, obvious trajectory, he moves his body to avoid it slightly.

“What? Look at this bastard.”

The guard glared at him, glaring at him as if he had hurt his pride by dodging his attack so easily.

“Please stop.”

“I saw somewhere that he was doing a little bit, but he also avoided this!”

Seeing that the club was aiming for his head again and trying to swing it as if it was going to slam it, I thought that the action was big, and rather approached it forward.

Suddenly, rather than avoiding it, when it comes closer to me, the security guard seems to be a little taken aback.

I didn’t miss that moment and hit the wrist of the man holding the stick with his blade.

“Evil!”

With a scream, the truncheon fell to the floor, and after putting the distance back, he stared at the guard.

The guard, who was holding his opposite wrist in pain, blushed and picked up the club again as if he were really angry.

“You bastard. Be prepared to break somewhere!”

Unlike before, this time the guards put magic into their clubs. Lives spurted out.

‘This is a big deal.’

I can’t use magic, so there’s almost no chance of winning.

Basic combat power may be far ahead with combat experience, but the presence or absence of magical power makes a difference enough to overturn it.

As I thought about whether I should just run away, the security guard jumped at me in excitement.

As if not wanting to repeat the same mistake as before, he lowered the club with a bell and swung it briefly.

I thought that there was really no way if this happened to an attack that would not even give me a chance to counterattack.

The moment I decided to crouch down and defend him just to minimize the damage as much as possible.

-Hwiik

A huge scythe with a cool, silvery blade flew in and slashed between the guard and me, plunging into the ground.

The scythe suddenly flew in and the two of us froze for an instant and turned our heads in the direction the sickle flew.

There, he could see Choi Soo-jeong walking with his arms crossed with a frown on his face.

Ttogak. Again.

The sound of Choi Soo-jung’s shoes echoes through the quiet building. Choi Soo-jung passed me and reached the security guard.

There is a big difference in height, but everything is overwhelmed by Choi Soo-jeong’s chilly atmosphere and the magical power that surrounds her body.

The security guard panics and tries to explain the situation.

“Ah, Sujeong. It’s nothing else, this impersonator bastard… “

“Shut up and bite your molars.”

“Yes?”

Pak!

A room that is too loud to be called a slap.

An unprepared guard is knocked down as if his large body is stuck to the ground as his head spins at the unexpected slapping.

From the fact that he was lying on the floor and not moving at all, he seemed to have passed out.

And Choi Soo-jung’s eyes are on me.

‘What about this? Really messed up…. Even if I explain, they won’t listen.’

Since there was a problem even before joining the guild, it became a fortunate situation even if I could just go home quietly, let alone join the guild.

Slowly approached me and stood tall in front of me.

“Wonwoo! Do you have any injuries anywhere? Sorry. It was difficult, but I made you go through this. I’m really, really sorry. If you ever need treatment, leave it to me. I am confident that I will do well in the treatment.”

Words of worry and apology poured out like a storm.

It was hard to see that he was the same person as before, his eyes were moist and he was making a worried expression.

“Ah… No, thanks. I guess there was just a misunderstanding.”

I am just bewildered at the unexpected situation.

It feels strange to see a person who spat out harsh words and slapped me a while ago apologize with a look of sincere concern.

If you look at the words and actions you’ve seen from the last meeting until today, no matter how you look at it, it’s full of sincerity.

Also, to say that Sujeong Choi was originally this kind, the way she treated the security guard earlier was the familiar Sujeong Choi.

‘Are you interested in me?’

Unless you’re an idiot at this level, I can’t help but notice that you think of me as very special and at least have a crush on me.

It is clearly different from simply looking at the object of longing.

But why?

I can’t think of any good reason for that.

The only point of contact is that he woke up after seeing me during the bus gate incident.

No matter how much I thought about it, I doubted whether that was the reason for this to happen.

“Secretary Kang. How did this happen? You must have told me to look carefully and serve you carefully.”

At the moment of contemplation, a woman dressed in a black suit, like a secretary’s standard, appears from behind and responds to Choi Soo-jung’s cold question.

“The security guard who was originally supposed to come to work today couldn’t come to work because his parents died, but it seems that the takeover didn’t work properly as another person came. I’m sorry.”

The woman called Biseo Kang bowed her head and offered her apology.

At those words, Choi Soo-jeong turned around and looked at Secretary Kang, then sighed and said,

“Huu, take care of this garbage. You know what I mean?”

“Okay.”

“And if something like this happens to Wonwoo one more time, I really won’t let him go. This is the final warning.”

“I will be careful.”

After answering, Secretary Kang looked behind her and winked at her, and then two figures appeared in the empty space and dragged the guards away.

‘How long has it been here?’

She prided herself on having a keen sense of her own, but she looked up in surprise at the figures that suddenly appeared.

“Kuhm.”

At this point, Choi Soo-jeong clears her throat slightly.

As the gaze turns to Choi Soo-jeong again, she slightly lowers her head and conveys her apology to me once again.

“You seemed embarrassed in front of Wonwoo. I’m really sorry to have caused you such an unpleasant experience.”

“No, that’s fine. You don’t have to worry about it.”

It’s not a situation where I can’t do anything about it. Even if you didn’t hurt me, I’m thankful for the first time.

“Instead, as an apology, I will serve you personally today. Shall we go here together?”

My eyes, which had been moistened, became smaller before I knew it and smiled. Choi Soo-jeong grabbed my hand tightly and led me somewhere.

“How are you? How do you feel about visiting our guild? You like it because you bought a new building this time, right?”

Guild by Choi Soo-jung’s hand, I was able to tour the guild’s facilities.

Starting with a state-of-the-art training ground for hunters, it was equipped with not only restaurants but also welfare facilities such as golf courses and swimming pools.

I was surprised to hear that even these facilities hadn’t arrived yet.

“Yes, that’s definitely good. It is very well equipped for a guild that has just started.”

“Heh, I feel proud when Wonwoo compliments me like this. I feel good because I think I prepared well.”

Choi Soo-jung twists the ends of her silver hair while blushing. Unlike before, it has a shy girl-like atmosphere, so I suddenly think it’s a little cute.

“But it will cost a lot of money to maintain all of this.”

“Oh, it’s okay. I made a lot of money by raiding A-level dungeons and doing a lot of advertising, so even if I don’t make money for at least 10 years, there’s no problem at all.”

I automatically think, ‘It’s Choi Soo-jeong.’

A normal guild would need at least 5 people to clear an A-class dungeon, but Choi Soo-jeong could do it alone, so the cost was inevitably low.

Besides, as her popularity has increased due to her innate appearance and ability, it is worth calling her as an advertising model.

“And I came to the guild where I am, and I can’t have them work without paying this level of compensation.”

I can see Choi Soo-jung’s management style with clear rewards and punishment.

As a person, this is the part I really like.

I am the type to accept it no matter how hard it is, as long as I am properly compensated even if I have to do a lot of work.

In this respect, I feel like I fit in well with Soo-jung Choi.

“Now then, shall we go sign the contract?”

She was led by her hand to the place where there was a sign that said [Guild head room].

Inside, there was a large office desk, a table and a sofa that seemed to be used for entertaining.

When Soo-jeong Choi stretched out her slender hand and invited her to sit on her sofa, she sat facing him.

Soo-jung Choi took out one of her documents from under her table and put it on the table.

“Hmm. I’ll ask again as a formality. Are you really coming to our Crystal Guild?”

“… I’m sorry, but I’d like to ask you two questions first. Is that okay?”

“Yes, it is possible. Wonwoo-nim is curious about it.”

She was worried that she would get angry at her for saying something different, but fortunately she was relieved by Soo-jeong Choi’s reaction as she waited for the next word without saying anything.

“First of all, I would like to hear a clear answer to whether I can really solve the problem I am facing.”

“Yes, it is possible. I guarantee you that it can be fixed.”

Choi Soo-jeong gives a quick answer that makes me feel ashamed after thinking deeply.

She gave a definite answer to a question that I was not sure about anywhere else.

On the other hand, I have doubts because I say things that others say are difficult.

Choi Soo-jung, as if recognizing that, thought about it as she tapped her cheek with her finger, then she smiled and said.

“Then shall we do this? If I can’t fix it, I’ll add a statement that joining the guild will never happen. Of course, we also pay compensation.”

“No, I didn’t mean to ask that much….”

“Wonwoo-nim should be comfortable with me too.”

I am rather embarrassed by Soo-jeong Choi’s overflowing confidence, who suddenly tells me to add a unilaterally advantageous contract.

“Then what do you want to know next?”

“Oh, there….”

“It’s okay, so please tell me comfortably, Wonwoo. If you keep doing that, I’m sorry.”

On the contrary, seeing Soo-Jung Choi who wanted to speak more actively, I felt very uncomfortable about this part.

Actually, it could be that he just takes good care of me, but I wonder if he’s misunderstood and he’s trembling all alone.

In addition, it is said to be an S-class hunter, but it was embarrassing to say such a thing to a 20-year-old girl who had just become an adult.

“After… Please do not misunderstand and listen. Hunter Choi Sujeong. Do you have any special feelings for me?”

I turned around as carefully as possible and asked a question.

After hearing that, it suddenly becomes motionless and quiet as if time had stopped.

After a while, in the silence, the corners of Choi Soo-jung’s mouth lifted, and her tongue slightly came out and gently licked her upper lip to moisten it.

For some reason, I felt strange that the behavior was more like that of a bewitching woman than a girl.

“That means… Did I ask if I like Wonwoo as a man?”

A question coming back from Sujeong Choi.

It was a dry voice, devoid of emotion.

As soon as she heard that answer, she thought she had made a huge mistake and was quick to apologize.

“hahahaha… sorry. I was seriously mistaken. I didn’t hear this… “

“It’s not like I like you, I already love you. Not out of respect, of course, but as reason.”

The confession of Choi Soo-jung, who cuts off my words in the middle and hooks and hits.

After those words, her voice trembled slightly, and Choi Soo-jung’s cheeks were slightly red as if she wasn’t lying.

And her red eyes stare at me clearly and contain my image in her pupils.

‘It was real… ?’

I was dubious, but it wasn’t like I liked it, but when I confessed it openly, she didn’t know what to say, so her head went blank.
