I upgrade alone

However, Cha Hae-In still lowered her head and said nothing.

'No, how can this be explained?'

After being attacked by an ant monster, I obviously lost consciousness, but I can still feel you by my side.

Even the breath of you is reassuring as you plummet downward in endless darkness.

No words can describe the mood at that time.

' Even if I said it, he would think I was talking nonsense. '

When she learned that Cheng Jin-Woo was really by her side at that time, she didn't even know how fast her heart was beating.

She felt relieved because it was not her own illusion.

and.

'just in case......'

In case she really couldn't avoid death, she also hoped that the person beside her could be Cheng Jin-Woo.

'I hope it's you who will be by my side in the end... something like that. '

How can I say words that make people blush and heartbeat just by imagining them.

For Cha Hae-In, who doesn't have any girlish feelings, the two are words that are impossible to say.

So she said the answer she had prepared earlier in the morning.

"I want one"

Cha Hae-In raised her head, she looked at Cheng Jin-Woo and continued.

"I want to live free..."

Although it is a bit off topic, it is not a lie.

If being with other hunters made her afraid to move because of the bad smell, then just being in the same room with Seong Jin-Woo would make her feel at ease.

That's what Cha Hae-In means by freedom'.

Although the explanation was somewhat discrepant, Cheng Jin-Woo understood Cha Hae-In.

Cheng Jin-Woo nodded after listening to her answer.

Break away from the large guild of the Hunter Division and act freely like in a smaller guild.

According to Cheng Jin-Woo, Cha Hae-In's age is about 22 or 23.

'It's just a girl in her early 20s, she must feel that the burden that S-rank hunters have to shoulder is very heavy. '

Not to mention that during the encirclement and suppression battle on Qizhou Island, she even encountered a danger that almost cost her her life.

When he was working in the association before, Cheng Jin-Woo thought about leaving everything behind and running away countless times, so he fully understood Cha Hae-In's mood.

'But despite the circumstances...'

But he couldn't agree right away.

The single name of the guild is not for nothing.

Because in the future, all the dungeons reserved by the guild will be attacked by myself.

If it is necessary to meet the minimum number of people, then just like when raiding a C-level dungeon, just find people to make up the number of people.

This is the best way to upgrade.

But once Cha Hae-yi joined the guild, the guild would cause a lot of trouble.

Let's not talk about the deposit, but she has to pay wages so that she can live on when she comes in, right?

Using a high salary to hire an S-level hunter who doesn't actually need to do anything will only cause a waste of national resources.

however.

'Obviously the other party said that there is no need to pay a deposit, if I still refuse...it should be very strange. '

Cheng Jin-Woo thought of a good way.

"Actually, if you want to enter our guild, you need to accept a test."

"Huh? But the recruiting ad didn't..."

Cha Hae-In was a little flustered, but Cheng Jin-Woo interrupted her immediately.

"Because it is a rule that has just been established, it may be that our vice president has neglected it."

Hearing that there was a test, Cha Hae-In was a little surprised at first, but her eyes immediately became sincere.

"What test?"

Cheng Jin-Woo was really taken aback.

"Is she—serious?"

I thought that after hearing that there was a test, she would automatically quit out of face.

But Cha Hae-In reacted exactly the opposite.

Instead, she was inspired to fight.

Cheng Jin-Woo could feel her burning enthusiasm after panicking.

'So she turned out to be the kind of person who wouldn't shy away from the challenges she faced?'

Or just want to give it a try?

Anyway, now that the matter has come to this point, Cheng Jin-Woo can't say that what he just said was actually a joke.

"It is to win the shadow soldier I appointed."

There was a clang in her mind, and Cha Hae-yi felt that she was underestimated.

'...'

Is this the only way you can judge me, Hunter Seong Jin-Woo?

It's really amazing.

Obviously just looking at the other person's eyes, but it seems to be able to know what the other person wants to say.

Cha Hae-In didn't express her thoughts, but calmly asked again: "What kind of shadow soldiers will you designate?"

"Of course a particularly powerful shadow soldier will be designated for the Car Hunter."

"......good."

She didn't back down.

She should never have dreamed of it.

In Cheng Jin-Woo's shadow soldiers, no, what kind of guys exist in the shadow army.

The stronger the desire to win, the easier it is to leave.

It was because of this that Cheng Jin-Woo accepted her challenge.

"very good."

"When will the test start?"

"Now."

Because the guild needs to be established as soon as possible, Cheng Jin-Woo can't waste time on Cha Hae-In.

If you think about it, act quickly.

The location is in the gymnasium of the Hunter Association.

S-level hunters have the authority to borrow gymnasiums at any time.

This is just one of the many perks available to S-rank hunters.

"I see." Cha Hae-In nodded.

She also wished it could be faster.

The two suddenly stood up together as if they had made an appointment.

'Wait a moment. '

Cheng Jin-Woo suddenly thought of one thing.

He stopped Cha Hae-In who was about to open the door and go out.

"Car Hunter, wait a minute."

"what?"

"Actually, it doesn't have to go like this."

"...?"

Cha Hae-In was very puzzled.

The conference room has only one door.

Are you going to jump out of the window?

Seong Jin-Woo approached her.

"There's an easier way to get there."

"what?"

"If that's the case we have to get closer, okay?

"what......"

Cha Hae-In suddenly remembered what Bai Yul-ho said.

At the moment when all members of H country's encirclement and suppression team were in crisis, Hunter Cheng Jin-Woo suddenly appeared behind him.

'Is this going to be shown?'

Seeing that Cheng Jin-Woo was getting closer than she expected, Cha Hae-In who was secretly nervous swallowed a mouthful of saliva unconsciously.

"excuse me."
