Please Cooperate In The Execution Of S-Class Official Duties

However, even if she was embarrassed, a scary monster was right in front of her, digging into the rocks in order to kill the both of them. 

Hara’s mind raced, and she soon realised what already unlocked meant. 

– Just the thought of you makes me strong S (Passive)

Usage condition: Physical contact with the designated user ‘Yoon Seheon’

Her default stats were enhanced.

[User: Kang Hara]

Stamina: 7 (+30)

Agility: 3

Strength: 4 (+60)

Skill: 2

Mana: 9

Luck: 1

So this was actually a passive skill. A message that she didn’t notice earlier was blinking. Its usage condition was physical contact with Seheon. As such, it seems that the skill will only be activated when she touches Yoon Seheon.

Just like now.

No, putting that aside, is this stat for real? Hara doubted her eyes.

The highest stat that hunters can have is 100. But suddenly getting +60 strength…

Hara stared at the system window again. The ‘S’ next to the skill window suddenly seemed especially dazzling.

So this is why it’s S-class!

Hara quickly judged the situation joyfully. 

The both of them were trapped together in a narrow crevice, so the skill was activated. However, ‘The thought of you makes me strong’ was a skill that corrects her basic stats.

‘With this, I can’t do anything.’

She either goes out and fights or runs away. In any case, they had to get out of here. 

To make matters worse, the carnivorous rabbit seemed to change its strategy when it found out that Seheon hid further inside while digging through the gap in the rock formation. The rabbit rammed the rock with its head. Thud, thud.

Tap, tap. 

The rocks that were above their head slowly began moving up and down. 

Hara looked up with a fed up expression. Seheon seemed to have noticed something similar.

“We have to get out.”

Hara opened her mouth. Seheon asked with a frown.

“But if we go out now, the both of us will be in danger.”

“Leaving and dying from injuries or being crushed by the rocks, aren’t they somewhat similar?”

Seheon’s eyes looking down at Hara. She didn’t know why, but she could understand without him speaking aloud. The question ‘Is that considered similar?’ appeared in his eyes. 

Hara sighed.

“I’ll fight against that rabbit.”

“What?”

Seheon’s eyes widened while Hara pondered for a moment. Should she explain the situation?

But there’s no time for that now. Additionally, Hara will be treated like a crazy person if she told him the situation that she was currently facing. Didn’t she see Yoon Seheon’s face as he stuttered her name just now?

“But Kang… Hara-ssi, didn’t you say you were an E-class?”

In this situation, Hara chose the most logical and sensible response. 

“Then, is a civilian going to fight for a Hunter?”

“But an E-class hunter…….”

“Yes, I know what you’re trying to say.”

She quickly waved her hand to stop Seheon from speaking.

“But currently, it’s right that I go.”

The carnivorous rabbit began kicking from that side again. Slam, it jumped while running towards them and slammed its head against the rock.

Kuang!

Plop, plop……crushed rock rained on them. Wherever did those guys that said rabbits were herbivores go? A rabbit was currently running itself into here.

“Before the rabbit does an approach run, now is our chance to escape.” 

“I think so too.”

Seheon measured the retreating carnivorous rabbit again.

“But the problem is that there seems to be nowhere that we can escape to.” 

“There is.”

As Seheon looked back at Hara, his eyes narrowed. 

“Where are you referring to? This is a forest dungeon, if we escape carelessly, we’ll be caught immediately.”

A place where rabbits can’t keep up. There was one.

Hara pointed her finger upwards. Seheon’s forehead became knitted.

“The sky?”

* * *

Thump, thump.

The rabbit bashed its head against the rock a couple of times more. The rock formation made a sound…… and the rocks began making a cracking sound on their own.

The carnivorous rabbit looked at the rock formation that was containing its prey with its black eyes. It could tell despite the significant drop to its intelligence. The fact that this rock formation was surprisingly weak.

The teetering rock formation was also about to crumble. The rabbit’s nose twitched, turning around and hopping away. It was about to knock into the rocks from a distance.

Around three of its colleagues were watching with twitching noses from a distance away. Perhaps they intended to jump into the fray when the rock formation collapses. 

The carnivorous rabbit hopped over to its companions. The rabbits that were exchanging gazes competitively turned around pompously. 

However, as soon as its nostrils flared, it managed to spot the prey’s attempt to escape being reflected in the rabbit’s eyes.

“Now!”

The irritating prey that had hidden themselves in the crevice of the rock formation  hideously hidden between the rocks appeared. The rabbit was beyond itself with excitement.

“Kyaaak!”

Thoughts about doing an approach run from a distance left its mind as it used its hindleg to kick off from the floor with a ‘pang’. Three jumps. All it needed was three jumps and it would be able to grab those prey.

“Kyaak!”

Seheon was the first one to escape. As soon as Seheon emerged from the crevice, he immediately rolled to the side, with Hara hot on his heels.

The rabbit was but a few feet away, so all he had to do was run…

“Ah—”

Originally, she intended to roll sideways the moment the rabbit attacked. But the loafers that Hara was wearing became a troublemaker. The shoe was caught inside the crevice. Naturally, Hara, who was rushing outside, sprained her ankle.

The rabbit bared its teeth menacingly. The eyes of Seheon, who went out first but didn’t go far, widened.

“It’s danger—”

“Kyaak!”

Of course, Hara had no intention of being bitten by a rabbit. Just before she was bitten, she took off the loafers on the spot, and rolled sideways to avoid the rabbit.

Thud!

The rabbit’s head slammed onto the rock. At the same time, Hara’s knees scraped the ground. The knees of the office slacks that she’d made a big decision to purchase were torn. 

‘D*mn it! It’s worth 100,000 won!’

Tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn’t help but curse. The calculation formula that she used when she bought the 100,000 won slacks surfaced in her mind.

To be more exact, it was 100,800 won, so if she worked 20 days a month, that’d be 240 days a year, she’ll be paying 420 won a day for an entire year! 

So if you’re wondering when exactly did she buy these slacks, it was last month. Hara wanted to kill that rabbit.

Not now, of course. It’s because once she separates from Seheon, the skill ‘Just the thought of you makes me strong’ would become inactivated.

Kyaak, the rabbit looked back with a cry. Hara shut her eyes tightly and opened them. Although the loafer that was stuck between the rocks also seemed to be torn, there’s no time for her to calculate its price.

[Skill Activation]

Instead, she used a skill that she’d unlocked in advance before leaving the rock formation.

‘Flight!’

It was none other than Flight. 

It didn’t seem like there’s anything more appropriate than that in the skill list. There were many other skills, but the situation would be unsalvageable if she hastily unlocked it and it turned out to be a skill that was neither this nor that. 

On the other hand, thanks to its intuitive name, she could predict what ‘Flight’ was. No matter how those rabbits are capable of running around, can they soar up into the sky?

[Activating ‘Flight (S)’]

As soon as she tried to activate Flight, she felt her body suddenly become light. The hand that was still touching the ground a few moments ago slowly began floating upwards. 

Hara grinned when she saw the rabbit’s eyes, which were trained on her, slowly turn upwards. She has probably succeeded…

[Skill Proficiency (1/100). Please take note of the controls]

What?

“Uwaahhhh!”

The next moment, Kang Hara soared up into the sky instantly. She didn’t even have the time to be surprised. Just like a rocket that was launched by someone, she moved rather far away and became a dot in the sky.

As Seheon watched Hara, his eyes widened greatly. The rabbit also stopped bewilderedly. 

Ahhhhh…Soon, the long scream also vanished.

“…….”

The dazed Seheon turned his head inadvertently. He made eye contact with the rabbit that was also looking around. 

He immediately got off the ground. “Kyaak!” the rabbit, who’d come to its senses belatedly, chased after him. 

He didn’t have the time to resent the confident civil servant lady that asked if a civilian was supposed to fight instead of a hunter, but ended up soaring straight into the sky. 

* * *

Hara was currently soaring endlessly up the sky.

“H, how do I control this?”

[Please take note of the controls]

It was a rather intuitive skill. S-class Flight. 

But there was an actual problem. She didn’t know that her skills also needed proficiency. 

“You should have told me if something like this existed!”

And Kang Hara, who had never flown before, was now soaring endlessly upwards. It felt like gravity had betrayed Hara, but it was unable to reject her existence. Her stomach churned and her vision shook wildly. 

The forest dungeon’s landscape has also become rather miniscule. The blue sky gradually turned purple. Her blouse kept fluttering in the wind, and chilly air permeated through the hole at her knee.

It’s too cold!

Hara shuddered.

[The constellation, ‘Cupid’ clicks his tongue, saying that at this rate, you’re going to climb up to where he lives]

Where? Olympus? Was that in the sky? This is a dungeon, was the sky of a dungeon connected with that? Wouldn’t she die before that happens? A system message blinked in front of her.

[TIP: The skill ‘Flight’ matches your constellation’s characteristics. Please imagine Cupid’s wings.]

‘I don’t have wings like that!’

[Love arises from faith. Please try to imagine it]

She was rendered so speechless that it felt like she’s about to go to Andromeda. 

‘No, if this actually continues onwards, I’m really going to Andromeda.’

Now, the sky was completely black. It was so cold that her teeth began to chatter. It became difficult to even breathe. There seemed to be several overlapping Earths in the black sky. 

[Achievement Completed!]

[You have obtained the title, ‘One that approaches the truth’. Skill +3]

And what’s this? As she tried to read the status window while spinning around, the nauseous Hara turned off the status window roughly. 

She really had to do something before she flew out of the atmosphere, but she  couldn’t imagine something like wings.

In the end, Hara stopped her skill while in the midst of dizziness.

[Skill Cancellation]

“Argh!”

At the same time, she began falling headfirst. She wasn’t surprised. However, she couldn’t adapt to the feeling of the shaking five viscera and six entrails. Hara decided to shut her eyes due to her spinning vision.

Wings, wings… 

What kind of martial arts movie is this, conducting image training while in free-fall? Even if this was a martial arts movie or a magic academy, they wouldn’t use such a training method, but now wasn’t the time to dwell over such thoughts. It’s because the forest was approaching at a much faster rate than before.

If Hara continued to think about something like Cupid’s baby angel wings, she’d definitely all head first like this and die in vain. Hara shut her eyes tightly and began imagining having a pair of wings on her back. It wasn’t easy due to her lack of imagination. However, she managed to think of something after much struggling.

[Activating ‘Flight (S)’]

[Please take note of the controls]

“Kyaah!”

She screamed as the sudden sense of reality hit while she was falling. Just as she was about to fall headfirst through the tall trees.

Flap…… Although there was the sound of rustling leaves from Hara’s feet, Hara was floating in the air at the very next moment. 

In any case, she did it. Hara turned sideways and glanced behind her. She spotted the illusion of flapping wings on her back. It seems like this was how the skill should be used.

[Proficiency of ‘Flight (S)’ has increased. (5/100)]

Seemingly to prove this point, a system message came to mind.

Hara cleared away the window insincerely and looked around. That’s because something came into Hara’s view while she was haphazardly falling. 

It was none other than a panoramic view of the entire dungeon, and flocks of carnivorous rabbits that were everywhere. 

“Oh no, Anchor Yoon!”
