“Whea? Baaaahaaaaaahaaaaaaaak
.?”
“Eat the bread in your mouth first and talk.”
Yerin chewed up the strawberry jam sandwich in a hurry.
Sure enough, she coughed.
“Kuk! kuk!”
“Oh, You are worse than a child

Here drink milk.”
She looked as if she came to life after drinking the milk I gave her.
“Oh, I thought I was going to die. What did you just say?
“I want to join a guild. What should I do?”
“Oh my! What guild all of a sudden? Weren’t you not very interested in this?”
“I’m looking into joining the guild because something came up.”
“Hmm.”
Yerin looked at me with a very strange look.
“What
.Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I don’t know if it’s because of the mood, but every time you ask me something, I think something happens
”
I avoided eye contact with at her meaningful words.
Naturally, I didn’t intend it, but recently I often get caught up in big incidents,
Yerin burst into laughter while enjoying my embarrassed reaction.
“So? Do you want to join our guild?”
“I thought it would be better if I joined a guild with someone I know. You’re the only one around me who knows this kind of stuff.”
“I understand what you mean. But
”
“
?”
“Lim Sihyeon, you’re so wrong! You can’t enter our Guardians’ Guild with such a soft heart!”
“

..?”
She jumped out of her seat.
Then, she continued to introduce her guild with a powerful voice as if she was in a theatrical stage.
“The Guardians Guild is a historical guild created in the early days of chaos and has been working for the purpose of community life and safety.”
“

.”
“While other guilds are commercialized for financial gain, the Guardians Guild still practices it.”
It was an organization that had been active since before the formation of the current guild system, and it was a guild with quite a lot of recognition from my parents’ generation.
Even my mother was very surprised when she heard that Yerin belonged to the Guardians Guild.
With arrival of new era in which Rifts ceased to threaten the survival of the world, the organizations called the guild has changed into a profit-seeking company.
The Guardians Guild, which refused to commercialize, naturally became smaller.
“Sihyeon! Are you ready to endure the weight of the name of justice?”” –
“
 I’m sorry. I’ll look for another guild.”
“Ehhh, I’m kidding! I’m kidding!” I just wanted to tell you what a great guild our guild is. Please don’t give up.”
When I showed an attitude of quitting, Yerin quickly returned to her normal self and begged not to give up.
“Okay. Then what do I really need to do to join the Guardians Guild?”
“Well
 Usually, people are recruited by public recruitment, or if they have experience, they join on recommendation.”
I remembered when I asked Lee Seok I met last time about the Guardians Guild.
“Are you asking about the Guardians Guild? It’s a good guild. However, the guild leader has a one-sided tendency to righteousness. Even if I recommend you, he won’t let you join.”
If he’s a guild leader, doesn’t sway even with the recommendation from Director Lee Seok, the only way left was to enter through public recruitment.
“Then I’ll have to go through the open recruitment.”
“Oh! Come to think of it, they’re recruiting for the first half of the year. You can apply there.”
Unlike her bright expression, I looked worried.
“Well
 but can I do it?”
“What are you worried about? Did you forget who you’re with now?”
“
?”
“The hero and ace of the Guardians Guild — The great Seo Yerin.”
She pointed at herself and posed confidently.
“There’s nothing to worry about. I’ll make you pass the open recruitment with flying colors. Instead!”
“Instead?”
Yerin raised one finger.
“One strawberry jam per class, okay?”
“Okay, deal.”
“Hehe, the tuition fee is prepaid.”
The Guardians Guild’s recruitment process proceeded in three stages.
The first is the paper screening and the second is the practical examination.
The last one is an interview.
Most of the documents were passed without a fatal criminal history, and the written test was an easy test that required only 70 points.
On the other hand, the most burdensome test for me was the practical test.
It’s not that I don’t have any combat experience, but I didn’t have any special combat skills, and honestly, I wasn’t confident.
But not the teacher who got the strawberry jam as a tuition fee

– Oh! Don’t worry. Because I have an idea!
She showed great confidence.
It takes a month for the practical examination for public recruitment.
The first class with teacher strawberry jam began.
One day I finished my farm work earlier than usual and left work.
Yerin and I were in an open Rift near the city center.
It was not a Rift maintained for hunting purposes, but a Rift that was used as a practice ground for technical practice and training of awakeners.
“Teacher Seo Yerin? What should I do now?”
“ Student Lim Sihyeon. I love your aggressive attitude. First of all, before the full-fledged class, let’s confirm.. you don’t have any combat skills, do you?”
“No, not at all.”
The only skill I can use is ‘communication’.
Since then, other skills have been acquired, but nothing has been related to combat.
“This is my guess, but I think you’re talented in summoning.”
“Summoning?”
“Yeah. Last time, you gave orders to my summon, and after a long time of watching, I feel that way.”
Teacher was convinced of my talent with her ‘feeling’.
Yerin raised her voice slightly and added, as I made an unreliable look at the seemingly poor argument.
“It may be hard to believe that it’s just a feeling, but there are actually many cases where awakening people with similar talents recognize each other.”
“Hmm
 Is that so?”
“Yes. Why would I have dragged you here without confidence? Here take this.”
Yerin gave me something.
It was a stone the size of a palm.
“What’s this?”
“It’s a stone that lets you summon. We usually call this Summoner’s Stone.”
“Is it the same one you were wearing on your necklace?”
“Yes. I need this to call my summon.”
I accepted the Summoner’s Stone.
“What should I do now?”
“First, close your eyes and concentrate your energy on the summoner’s stone. It will let you connect to your summon, but the next part is probably a little difficult. It took me hours, too.”
“After that, try to connect to your summon’s consciousness?How can I express this? Well, fishing? You can pull the summon that you’re connected to as if you’re fishing it.”
“Fishing?”
“Yes, fishing! Some summons strongly reject it, but you have to play hard to get.”
I looked confused at the difficult explanation.
“If you try it yourself, you’ll get a sense of what I mean. Seeing is believing.Let’s get started right away.”
“Well
 I see. I’ll give it a try.”
Yerin stepped back so I could concentrate.
As she explained, I closed my eyes and focused my consciousness on the summoner’s stone in my hand.
As soon as I focused on the summoner’s stone, I felt connected to the summon from beyond my consciousness.
But the strangest thing is, I felt three summons.
‘Is this right?’
It’s a little different from Yerin’s explanation, but I decided to continue as she explained.
Among the three summoners, I focused my attention on the summon with the strongest presence.
‘After connecting to the summon
..was it pulling it in like you’re fishing
’
Huh?
It was only a slight pull, but the summon came up as if he had been waiting.
At the same time as I felt like the summon was coming over to me, a strong energy poured out of the summoner’s stone.
“What, what? You’ve already succeeded in summoning. How?!”
I slowly opened my eyes when I heard the startled voice of Yerin.
The summoner’s stone in my hand gave off a brilliant light.
Whoooooh!
A large group of lights appeared in front of me with a grand vibration sound.
The group of lights slowly fell to the ground and gradually began to take shape.
The figure was like
 like

what?!
I saw the silhouette of the group of lights and immediately recognized it.
“Don’t tell me
”
Pow wo wooo
“What are you doing here?”
Pow wo wooooooo
In the place where the group of lights disappeared, a cute baby Yakum appeared.
As soon as he heard my voice, he ran this way.
I lowered my posture and hugged him as usual.
I looked at him three times with an incredulous look on my face.
“Is it really you Akum?”
Pow wo woooooooooooooooo
However, I quickly realized that the presence in front of me was different from the real Akum.
It was just that the appearance and energy that was almost the same, but something essential that could not be explained in words was different.
I looked at Yerin with my arms around Summon Akum.
Yerin had a blank look on her face, perhaps because she couldn’t accept the current situation.
“Excuse me, Teacher. Seo Yerin? Is this a success?”
“Huh? Uh-huh. I think you succeeded. It’s probably a success.”
Yerin still came out with a puzzled expression and looked at Summon Akum.
“Sihyeon, is this really Akum?”
“I don’t think so. I think it’s just a similar summon.”
“But it’s following you obediently.”
“I too don’t know why
”
Pow wooo
Summon Akum tilted his head and looked up at us.
Our expressions melted away at the cute appearance.
The questions that had confused my mind for a while also disappeared in an instant.
It’s fine as long as it’s cute

“Since you succeeded in calling out the summon, should we start combat training?”
“What? Are you going to send such a cute kid out to battle?”
“Hey? No matter how cute the summon is, you can’t forget why you’re here.”
“That’s true, but
”
“Even in the form of a Akum, a summon must have the skills to help in battle.”
Unfortunately, I had no choice but to accept Yerin’s words.
I laid Summon Akum on the floor and made eye contact.
“Do you have any techniques?””
Pow wo woo
“Really? Then can you show us?”
Pow woooo woo
Summon Akum walked forward with a confident look.
Then he began to dance, swinging his body.
Flap Flap Flap
– Pow wo Pow wo woo Poo Poo Wooooo
Yerin couldn’t take her eyes off of the cute baby Yakum’s dance moves.
After a while, Summon Akum’s dance moves ended.
He looked up at me with bright eyes for praise.
“Wow! You did a great job, Summon Akum.”
Pow wo wooo
Unlike me, who was amazed, Yerin looked skeptical.
“It’s cute, though, but I don’t think this dance move will be helpful at
