Even now, the appearance of the S-Cass dungeon being destroyed is clearly unfolding in front of his eyes.
The stone statues that revived infinitely were quite troublesome. If Seo Dojoon had been alone, he might have been able to proceed with the attack calmly even if he struggled a little.
However, Seo Dojoon had four beings to protect at the time.
One is an old man and the other is a child with mobility difficulties. The other person was a civilian who had lived without knowing that it was a dungeon, and the only Awakener was a production type, so he had no combat ability.
He made mistakes because his thoughts were all over the place. Jung Jinho was injured while trying to save Seo Dojoon. And Baek Doohan and Baek Soyeon were on the verge of being attacked by monsters as his barrier disappeared.
And that moment, by some miracle, Haeun Awakened and saved the two of them.
Moreover, the ability that Haeun showed was of a kind that Seo Dojoon had never encountered before.
Beyond the line where the golden waterfalls were pouring.
He couldnât define it exactly, but he instinctively noticed that it was a dimension composed of a completely different material.
And Haeun seemed to be able to freely control the things beyond that.
Above all, Seo Dojoon shuddered at the overwhelming power. If the power is equal, he will feel a desire to win, but if the existence is incomparable, he will feel awe.
When he thinks of that day, his heart still beats. He didnât even care that he was pushed to 2nd place in the rankings. He just wanted to see Haeun again.
At that time, someone approached Seo Dojoon.
âHyung?â
It was Kim Hyunseok.
Kim Hyunseok hesitated in front of Seo Dojoon, who was puzzled. After hesitating for a while, he asked cautiously.
âDojoon-ah, let me ask you this.â
âAbout what?â
âAre you dating Jung Haeun?â
Seo Dojoonâs eyes widened. He couldnât understand in what context Kim Hyunseok asked such a question.
Kim Hyunseok tapped his cell phone and showed a screen.
This is Haeunâs Outstagram. The number of followers had increased tremendously, as if people had flocked to it.
And among the posts Haeun posted, there was a photo that toxic reactions exploding.
Nice weather for a walkâĄ
#newyork #dailylife #centralpark
This is a picture of Haeun that she took. Seo Dojoon tilted his head.
âWhatâs wrong with this?â
âHere, isnât this you?â
Flipping through the pictures, he came across a picture with a sticker on his face. It was a picture of Seo Dojoon taken by Haeun.
Seo Dojoon didnât even know that this photo was on Haeunâs Outstagram account. Still, his face was covered, so there seemed to be no problem.
âThis is me.â
âY, you. You said you had a way to change Hunter Jung Jinhoâs mind, but were you actually staying more in the U.S. to date?â
âWhat are you talking about all of a sudden?â
âEveryone is saying that you and Jung Haeun-nim are dating! Of course Iâm all for it!â
Only then did Seo Dojoon take a closer look at the post. There were as many comments as there were hearts.
â ehrwk The third picture is Hunter Seo Dojoon???
â x_sksksk_x the clothes are the same as the one he was wearing in the picture uploaded to the Ahyeon Guild account last time
â aassdd.ll I can tell just from the physical. It shines even when he cover his face ă ă
â qpwo10 Eung⊠Yeah⊠Unnie, so you were secretly dating⊠With Dojoon Oppa⊠I hope you have a beautiful love.
â thffhs_s I donât believe
â l02842 @wk.ekfzha Look at this, she has a boyfriend.
â ms.qqsl OMGâ„ Congratulationsâ„â„
They recognized him only by his clothes and physical appearance in the picture.
Of course, there were those who claimed it wasnât him because Haeun didnât specifically mention or refer to Seo Dojoon.
However, at the moment of Haeunâs awakening, Seo Dojoon was with her, and since the time difference between the two periods was small, most of them were convinced that it was Seo Dojoon.
âWeâre not dating.â
âReally?â
âReally.â
âReally really?â
âBecause itâs real. More than that, why are you so curious?â
âA lot of people besides me are curious.â
Kim Hyunseok stood up and opened the door of the Ahyeon Guildâs room. Then, the guild members who had been secretly listening outside the door fell down in front of them.
âHehe, guild leader.â
âHave a good lunch!â
He had noticed that there were people gathered outside the door. Seo Dojoon shook his head.
When Seo Dojoon didnât seem to be angry, the guild members who gained courage secretly approached him.
âGuild leader, then what is it? Do you really know each other?â
âYou can be honest. Weâll keep it a secret.â
âBut how did EX-Class awaken? Even the guild leader saw it.â
âWhere is Jung Haeun right now? Do you know where she disappeared from the airport? You came on a plane together.â
âI donât know.â
As he did with the reporters, Seo Dojoon always showed that he didnât know. It was almost like a macro answer. Then he suddenly turned his gaze to the man who had asked the last question.
âGuild leader?â
The guild member whose eyes met raised the corners of his mouth and smiled brightly. Seo Dojoon grabbed the manâs back.
âHukh, Dojoon-ah?â
âGuild leader, why are you like that?!â
âHow did the reporter get in and out of here?â
âReporter?!â
Seo Dojoon broke the watch on the manâs wrist. At that moment, there was a popping sound and the guild membersâ appearances changed. An item for hunters who can change their appearance.
The woman with her hair tightly tied back dangles from Seo Dojoonâs hand and smiles.
âHmm. May I ask for an interview, Guild Leader Seo Dojoon?â
Seo Dojoon handed over the reporter to a boy wearing a school uniform with an expressionless face.
âJinyoung-ah, take her outside.â
âYes, guild leader.â
âAh, wait! Just give us a little time!â
âI will send you a formal letter to protest against trespassing.â
âGuild Master! Guild leader Seo Dojoon!â
The reporter disappeared leaving behind an echo-like scream. Seo Dojoon sighed and ordered the remaining guild members.
âEveryone go back and do your job.â
âAhaha, yes. We will go!â
âAah, I suddenly want to do a lot of work!â
âOh, yeah. Chief Lee. You wrote the report? Iâll come down and see you soon.â
As the guild members rushed out, peace finally came to the guild masterâs room. Kim Hyunseok, who was still there, rolled his eyes. Seo Dojoon asked while rubbing his forehead.
âWhy, Hyung? Do you still have something to ask?â
âDo you really not know where Jung Haeun is right now? There must be a number.â
âThe cell phone was turned off. It will probably be hard to talk to.â
Seo Dojoon was also curious about Haeunâs whereabouts.
He wanted to feel that formidable presence once again.
âI will recruit her to the Ahyeon Guild unconditionally. If it doesnât work, letâs go with a dungeon raidâŠâ
Seo Dojoon, who dreams of a future that Haeun would be surprised to know, was young.
* * *
Haeun sat down on the sofa and picked up a snack and ate it.
Crunch, crunch.
The pastry bag quickly revealed its end. As expected, Korean sweets contain half nitrogen. Haeun, who was looking around, touched Jung Eunwoo with the tip of her toe.
âOppa, give me some tissues.â
Jung Eunwoo frowned and pulled out a tissue for Haeun. Haeun, who wiped her hands, threw a tissue and scored in the trash can.
All of these processes were as natural as flowing water.
[The Constellation âMutant of the Abyssâ says itâs so relax that he doubts that Haeunâs debut as a hunter was his dream]
Lee Yoonkyung, feeling a similar sentiment, murmured.
âItâs the same.â
âI donât think anything has changed, honey.â
âOf course it will be the same.â
Jung Sehyun, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, shrugged his shoulders.
âBecause Noona didnât Awakened yesterday.â
Thatâs a good answer. The family agreed.
For reference, Haeunâs hair was also restored to its original state. It was all thanks to Lee Yoonkyung, an S-Class healer.
âAnyway, so what do you want to do now, Haeun?â
Haeun was revealed to the world as an EX-Class. It was almost certain that Haeunâs future actions would be noticed not only by the people of Korea, but also by people all over the world.
âWhat kind of place will you belong to?â
Haeun is now like a burning potato. Wherever she went, it was clear that she would revolutionize the Hunter world.
âIsnât Haeun not someone worthy of bowing her head to someone?â
âThatâs true, but itâs better to belong somewhere.â
âLetâs make her a civil servant. I will educate her myself.â
âI absolutely hate it.â
Haeun hated Jung Eunwooâs proposal and opposed it.
No matter how hard Haeun promised to work in the future, it wasnât as much as a civil servant. She can still see Jung Eunwoo cursing for being dragged around by all sorts of protocols.
Sheâll do more than that if sheâs EX-Class, not less.
âOr Noona. Do you want to join the Dawn Guild?â
âYour guild?â
Haeun remembered the Dawn Guild that her younger brother Sehyun belonged to. Itâs not a bad guild for a young atmosphere, butâ.
âI donât like your guild leader.â
âWhy? Did something happen?â
âNo, itâs not. Itâs just a littleâŠâ
Hwang Soomin, the guild leader of the Dawn Guild, was a necromancer who dealt with the dead, unlike his kind and gentle appearance. Heâs not a bad guy, but sheâs just reluctant.
âIf Noona doesnât like it, Iâll change the guild leader.â
âWhat?â
Jung Sehyun smiled and said to Haeun, who was surprised.
âIf EX-class wants to be the guild leader, what are you going to do? You have to step back. Come to think of it, itâs time for our guild leader to retire.â
âArenât your guild leaders still young? Rather, I donât want to be a guild leader!â
âWhy? I think it would be better if Noona is the guild leader and I stand in the back and I stand behind you to assist you.â
âYouâre not controlling?â
âAhaha.â
Jung Sehyun burst into laughter like a flower just blooming.
âNoona, thereâs no way I would do that. The person I admire and respect the most in the world is Noona. Besides, yesterday I already experienced firsthand that it is impossible for me to control you.â
âYou spoke well. Sehyun, donât brainwash me again. That really makes me feel really dirty.â
âOkay, Noona.â
âWhy donât you create a guild for the Jung family at this time?â
This was the idea of Jung Jinho, who worked freely as a one-person workshop because he was a production worker.
âIf itâs a family guild, no one will say anything.â
âWouldnât it rather be more vigilant? And I donât want to quit the Dawn Guild.â
âMe too.â
However, Jung Sehyun and Jung Eunwoo opposed it. This is because they have been in their respective positions for a long time and had their own goals.
Rather, the two wanted to attract Haeun to where they belonged.
