chapter 11

“So you’re back, right? I made it clear to meet the victim in person, kneel down and apologize politely, and to stay there if she doesn’t accept it.”

“…….”

“What’s your answer?”

Han Soo-eon looked at Park Jin-yong.

Park Jin-yong’s body trembled reflexively as he met his eyes, which had turned blue due to the influence of his ability.

“I, I did it. I did what you told me to do!”

“Did the victim accept the apology?”

The victim! Park Jin-yong was frustrated.

The victim is him.

He was the one who had to be beaten by that monstrous guy because he dared to put the F-class in a little danger!

It wasn’t his fault that the gate was closed, so why did the guild leader make him the perpetrator?

“Hunter Park Jin-yong, you already know that I hate lying, right?”

But he couldn’t say that to Han Soo-eon. He bowed his head, vowing to kill the cheeky F-class at an early age.

“I, I really did it, I definitely got that F-class!”

“I made it clear that I don’t like lying. If that’s not true, you’ll have to pay.”

Han Soo-eon dropped his eyes to the document in front of him again.

Park Jin-yong was finally relieved. It didn’t matter if he didn’t actually do that to the F-class.

He can just accuse her of lying in retaliation.

No matter what Park Yin-yong did, he was the leader of an attack team in the guild, so everyone would believe him.

“But why do you have a wound on your cheek?”

At that time, Park Jin-yong widened his eyes at Han Soo-eon’s words.

“Wound?”

“It looks pretty deep, didn’t you know it was there? You have a cut on your left cheek.”

Park Jin-yong hastily stammered to touch his cheek. As soon as the rough fingertips touched, the pain spread rapidly.

It was such a strong pain that he wondered why he didn’t notice until now.

“Huh? When did this…….”

He didn’t even know he was hurt until he touched himself, is that really a top hunter?

“It looks like it hasn’t been long since the blood hasn’t hardened.”

“Well, I mean.”

“……We’re done here, so you can go now. And as I said, you can’t reveal the truth about Director Do Joon-young anywhere. If you want to live.”

Do Joon-young. Park Jin-yong quickly forgot about his wound in the name of a scary monster disguised as an A-class.

When he remembered the terrible day when he had been beaten without being able to resist once, his face turned blue-ish.

Park Jin-yong left the guild’s meeting room.

“He didn’t even know he was hurt…….”

Han Soo-eon stared at his back as he exited.

It’s under his eye, so it’s hard to know…… That said, a strong enough person to deceive the spirit of an A-class hunter must have been the one to injure him.

“There is a high probability that a hunter with an S rank or higher did it.”

But he couldn’t have met Song Hanna, the president of the association, or Do Joon-young, who was keeping a low profile. He would have said something if he had met another known S-class.

All that’s left was an unknown person.

“Yoon Seo-ra, Yoon Seo-ra.”

The victim who went through a terrible thing came back unharmed by fate.

What was the real luck she had in that dungeon?

“We’ll see when we meet.”

Han Soo-eon, who alternately recalled Park Jin-yong’s wounds and Yoon Seo-ra’s name, shook his head and looked at the yet documents again.

There were far more than two things that had to be fixed because of what Park Jin-yong had done.

* * *

Finally, Do Joon-young returned to the office after being on a high alert.

The waiting office staff applauded, saying the hero was back.

Of course, Do Joon-young went into the office after leaving with a blunt face telling them to get back to work as always.

He hasn’t changed at all! Everyone burst into laughter.

Hahaha. Seo-ra, who was laughing and clapping in the middle of it all, snuck into the office.

“Sit down.”

Do Joon-young, who seemed to have already expected it, made two cups of coffee and put it down on the table in front of them without showing any surprise.

Seo-ra sat on the sofa and looked at him.

Even though he had been on probation, nothing changed from the last time she saw him at the hospital.

As Song Hanna said, it seemed that it was just a nominal punishment, but she was still not comfortable with the situation, so Seo-ra bowed politely.

“I’m sorry, sir.”

“Huh?”

“I can’t believe you’re taking a pay cut because of me. I’m really ashamed of myself.”

“Did you hear anything from the president of the association?”

Do Joon-young’s face was slightly distorted. There was more wonder than displeasure.

“It’s all nominal, so it doesn’t really affect me. It was close to a break, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“Well, I heard it, but I still feel……”

Seo-ra scratched her cheek awkwardly, and Do Joon-young, who looked at her, nodded.

“If Yoon Seo-ra feels comfortable, I will accept it. So let’s end this talk here.”

He was blunt in saying that there is no need to feel guilty. He was a reliable boss.

Seora smiled brightly enough to make her cheeks sting.

“Thank you, sir.”

“That’s better than saying sorry.”

As Do Joon-young laughed, Seo-ra felt much lighter.

“I heard you met with Park Jin-yong. Are you alright?”

“There was nothing special. Rather than apologize, he came out with a red flag, but he didn’t come at me.”

“He said he apologized to Yoon Seo-ra and told the Blue Guild leader that she accepted it. That was obviously a lie.

Because it was expected, Seo-ra snorted. A wave of slight anger appeared on Do Joon-young’s face.

“Does the Blue Guild leader believe that?”

“He’s always neutral. He doesn’t trust Park Jin-yong’s words when he hasn’t even met Yoon Seo-ra.”

“Oh, even towards his guild member?”

“Especially to a guild member. He tends to apply more strict standards to members.”

Oh, that was unexpected again. Seo-ra thought they were one of the same kind because he hired Park Jin-yong.

“Then why on earth did he appoint a guy like Park Jin-yong as the head of the engineering department?”

“Even if he has a bad personality, he has the skills. It is impossible to neglect someone who has never had a major accident like this one.”

Oh, well, as a guild leader, it was a good decision.

“Tomorrow, the blue guild leader and Park Jin-yong will come to the association. Will Yoon Seo-ra meet with the two?”

“Yes, I’m going to.”

She wondered how much Park Jin-yong, who had been so rude to her, would grovel in front of the influential figures of the association.

It would be pretty good to laugh at such a scoundrel openly.

“When we meet tomorrow, swear at him to your heart’s content. I still feel like that’s not enough, though.”

Seo-ra eventually burst into laughter. But the moment she heard the next words, Seo-ra’s laughter stopped.

“But Park Jin-yong and the blue guild leader will fight, so it’ll still be worth seeing.”

What? No, excuse me……?

“Really? Even the blue guild leader.…..?”

“Of course. It’s a good thing, isn’t it?”

As strength entered Do Joon-young’s hard fist and a terrifying energy spread, Seo-ra shut her mouth.

I see. Song Hanna and Do Joon-young are both sincere.

These are the people who make the head of the blue guild leader called the king of the magic world.

You scary S-class people.

“The leader didn’t do anything wrong, so he doesn’t have to. Of course, for someone like Park Jin-yong, I would honestly want to do the same.…. You said no, didn’t you?”

Do Joon-young was very scary, but he didn’t lie about this.

“No, I personally don’t hate that idea very much.”

Do Joon-young’s words are accurate, so she decided to believe them.

‘Other S-classes will be disappointed. Like the sunset guild leader.’

Seo-ra remembered Eun In-jae, the leader of the Sunset Guild, who was singing all the time to get Han Soo-eon’s head banged in the S-class community.

She couldn’t figure out how bad the relationship was.

Of course, she didn’t want to see it in person.

It was hard enough to get involved with the blue guild leader, so no more.

* * *

However, Seo-ra realized only today that the world does not go her way.

Finally, the day came when the blue guild leader and Park Jin-yong decided to come to the association.

Before that, there were two people who visited her.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the association!”

“I think I feel better every time I come here. It’s not even comparable to our headquarters. Hey, can’t we trade?”

“You should go and tell the president of the association about that. What can’t she do if she just allows it? She is the only one who even the state gives into.”

“You’re beating around the bush. That greedy woman won’t allow it.”

One tall woman in a short skirt with a scroll or something, and one short woman looking all over the place.

The two people who didn’t seem to get along were very familiar with the association.

It was because they were the leaders of the Sunset Guild and the Guardian Spirit Guild.

Standing in the association’s office, which was in an uproar at the sudden appearance of the leaders, she quietly held her head in her hands.

‘Are you really here to watch Han Soo-eon fight him? No, you can’t, you can’t!’

Anyway, what’s the real reason!

She’s seen it in the S-class community, but these guys really weren’t just normal nut jobs.

【Admin : ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿】

And the ugly administrator was stocking up on popcorn.

But Seo-ra couldn’t say a word to him and cried out to him inwardly.

‘Why, why!’

This was the moment when protection was needed more than ever.

“Hey, Mr. Do!”

Do Joon-young, who came out after hearing about the situation too late, made an expression that could not be described in words when he saw the two people waving brightly at him.

Seo-ra, who was watching from a distance, felt really sorry for him.

“I told you not to come.”

His face was full of sorrow as he spoke.

“How can you not come when there’s such an exciting sight to see? I’ve been bored lately, so this is great!”

“Just go back. What you two want is not going to happen.”

The sunset guild leader Eun In-jae drooped her eyes.

“What? why! He’s done such a big thing!”

“Anyway, it just won’t happen. Don’t make things complicated, just go back.”

“I don’t want to! I want to see it!”

Yoo Soo-eun, the head of the Guardian Guild, who was listening to the two’s conversation, began to act violently.

It was the first time she saw Do Joon-young, who was always calm, making an expression of disgust.

But unfortunately for him, it only made those two crazy people more excited.

“Talent is cool! I want to see the talent!”

“Su-eun will see it!”

“I’m not leaving until you show me!”

“I’m staying right here!”

“……People called guild leaders.”

In the end, Do Joon-young held his face and shook his head.
