The inside of his throat suddenly felt stiff and dry. He gulped dry saliva without realizing it, but Hyeon Gyu-ha lightly brushed against his fingers.
“Did you get your eyelashes dirty.”
As if that was all, Yong-geon took his hand away from Hyeon Gyu-ha's face again, but strangely, the tense feeling did not subside.
He felt like he needed to distract them by talking.
“Are you sure you’re okay with me calling you every two hours after you break up with me?”
“So, before we part ways, I need to fully recharge my energy batteries with Master.”
It was a naturally virtuous response that left no room for doubt.
"Alright. Now that we've rested, let's go do the lower body workout again.
“I was tested with the same items as the physical fitness test, so I thought I would pass.……………… ”
“It’s both exercise and dating. We’re not preparing for a test, we’re dating.”
This time, he went back to the fitness room, being pushed by the nonsensical sophistry and being carried by his side. It was still three days before the physical fitness test.
If you are determined to be level D or higher in the awakening ability measurement, a hunter license will be issued immediately. The license issuance test was the gateway for awakened people of lower levels.
The job in the hunter industry that awakened people without special abilities could get was as a worker who played an auxiliary role in the dungeon and moved crystal stones and the corpses of demonic beasts. The test is proof of qualifications for minimal self-defense within the dungeon.
The physical fitness test was conducted at the sports center. In principle, no one except those involved can attend the test...…………….
“Yoo-shin-ah! Fighting!”
The guild staff, including ones from the ministry of public welfare, are very good people.
Even at the center where awakening abilities are measured, employees from the Talent Department and the guild come in and out to scout hunters. In principle, it is possible to take a hunter license test, but so far it has only been a formality because there is no need to scout low-level hunters.
Hyeon Gyu-ha confidently came in under the pretext of a rule that had not been paid attention to, and Lee Hye-yeon followed behind him. In any case, this physical fitness test is also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of .
In Yoo-shin bowed his head to Lee Hye-yeon, who was cheering him on by running an electronic signboard app on her cell phone. Although he was so embarrassed that even the back of his neck turned red, she was secretly happy that they had come all the way to support her.
<Is the physical fitness test on Sunday? Umm……………….I don’t mind! Missing a day of church, what! I'm not going into something bad, but I'm going to cheer you up, so I'm sure Jesus will be generous with it.>
<Church? Did your grandfather or grandmother are U.S citizens?>
<uh. My grandfather was in the US military. His last name was Lee, so even after she was become a citizen, he just kept the Lee.>
As with Islam, most of the few believers in Christianity were descendants of those who became a U.S citizen during the Korean War. If it weren't for them, we would hardly have been able to see cathedrals, churches, or mosques in Korea.
Although In Yoo-shin didn't know much about Christianity, he did know that they held services every Sunday. It must have been an important day for the believers, so he am very thankful that they came despite skipping the service.
“Just be yourself as usual, man!”
Park Seung-gi was alongside Lee Hye-yeon, who even cheered for Kwon Seong-gil, who could not come because he was busy. Today again, he escaped from the lab room using the cheat key ‘Hyeon Gyu-ha’s lover is drugged.’ The two people had already become close friends after only a few minutes of meeting each other.
Next to him was Choi Jin-hyuk. He seems to hate hanging out at gatherings just as much as Hyeon Gyu-ha, but his attendance rate is secretly high.
'Is Gyu-ha the only one who doesn't have sociability?'
Hyeon Gyu-ha was standing at an angle with his arms crossed, away from all of them. The expression on his face seemed a bit uneasy. He was tapping repeatedly with his fingers up on his forearm.
While waiting for his turn, In Yoo-shin glanced at the status window and was shocked.
[Current status: Murderous intent. ??. dissatisfaction. Separation anxiety, nervousness. Desire for contact. Cheering stick.]
………………Why has there been so much? Also, what are the cheering sticks?
Even the desire for contact was something he had never seen before. In the meantime, he was steadily using the skill to erase his presence for fear that attention would be drawn to In Yoo-shin.
‘I really need to pass this time…………. I took this test twice already. Gyu-ha can't stand it, it seems...…………’
In Yoo-shin calmed his mind and gripped his grip forcefully.
Just tell me hahaha I will tear it all up hahahaha.
In Yoo-shin laughed as he looked at the graffiti someone had left on the closet in the dressing room.
The test ended with a 100-meter run in an outdoor playground. He barely passed the absolute cutoff point, but he passed anyway. He feel proud after acing the test.
"hey. From what I heard earlier, I heard that Lee Hye-yeon and Choi Jin-hyuk weren't the only ones out there?"
“What’s wrong with going to the newbie Hunter exam like us?”
“If this continues, won’t I get scouted too?”
“Damn.”
In Yoo-shin, annoyed by the chatter of other awakened people, hurriedly changed his clothes and left the locker room.
As soon as he reached the corner of the playground where he had agreed to meet, his vision became black, and a familiar body temperature enveloped him.
"I missed you."
In Yoo-shin patted Hyeon Gyu-ha's back, as if the anxiety on his face had disappeared.
“You endured it well.”
“Actually, I bought 30 different types of cheering sticks to cheer Yoo-shin over his head when he was taking a test. When I took them out, Noona said that if you saw those, you would go crazy and ruin the test.”
“………………I held it in really well.”
He was really fortunate to have Lee Hye-yeon, a person with common sense, with him. With brightly shining light sticks flashing everywhere, he had no confidence in concentrating on the physical fitness test at all.
“It’s good that Master passed the exam too. All you have to do is wait for it to be issued. A dungeon date awaits us.”
Hyeon Gyu-ha, who buried his face on the top of his head, smiled happily.
“Yoo-shin-ah! Congratulations on passing!"
“Oh, it’s Hunter In Yoo-shin.”
“It’s a lot better than it looks.”
The three people who came late also each offered congratulations. This was when Park Seung-gi was shouting out his praise to him and Lee Hye-yeon Noona, who said that I would eat lunch today to commemorate passing the exam.
“Is that In Yoo-shin?”
It was an unfamiliar voice. Before In Yoo-shin could turn around, Hyeon Gyu-ha blocked his path as if covering him. Even though the skill to erase presence was still in effect, the man who approached stared straight at Hyeon Gyu-ha as if he was not affected by it at all.
In Yoo-shin's eyes were round as he peeked his face out from between the sides of Hyeon Gyu's bottoms.
His age seemed around mid to late thirties. The stubborn jawline and sharp eyes made him look strong, but he also felt strangely impatient. His angular and toned body hugs the wide wall.
His age seemed to be around mid to late thirties. The stubborn jawline and sharp eyes made him look strong, but he also felt strangely impatient. The angular and strong body was like looking at a wide wall.
It wasn't a common appearance. In short, he is not as handsome as Hyeon Gyu-ha, but he is handsome. It was even a familiar face. This means that if In Yoo-shin, who was not very interested in hunters, knows any hunter, he is a famous person.
‘You’re the guild leader of Narsha, Gong Tae-seong, right?’
In other words, it is ranked 2nd in the lifetime ranking.
Even though it was a holiday, Gong Tae-seong, who combed his hair with pomade and wore a suit, had the air of a strict, elite businessman.
‘You called me earlier, right? Should I say hello?'
While hesitating about what to do, Hyeon Gyu-ha opened his mouth first.
“No need. I’m not going. It’s a hassle.”
Gong Tae-seong frowned.
“What nonsense is this again?”
“I don’t need that fucking knife. Narsha Guild, I’m not going. Mixing words is annoying. One word summary. Go away."
“When are you going to fix that damn personality of yours?”
“Seeing as you were looking for Yoo-shin, didn’t you come here to seduce me at the Narsha guild anyway?”
“It’s similar, but the purpose is different. This time, I came to say hello to Master who is hiding behind you, holding the leash.”
“Aren’t you crazy to stare at Master in front of the pet?”
“Fuck! Listen to me!”
Gong Tae-seong, who seemed to be responding calmly, ended up cursing.
Watching that scene, In Yoo-shin came to a realization. Until now, he thought Hyeon Gyu-ha's sociability was at an all-time low, but that wasn't the case. The reason he used honorifics towards others was to get his own way.…………!
In Yoo-shin felt a little proud.
“Why are you looking like Master who successfully trained a cat to eat bread in 5 months? Noona, would you like some popcorn?”
“They really don’t get along well. I think the reason Tae-seong is trying to attract Gyu-ha to the guild is not to do it with him or me, but to secretly kill him in the area and get first place.”
“Lee Hye-yeon-ssi, I can hear you, you know?”
“Anyway, you said you came to see Yoo-shin’s face? Since I saw his face, I guess I'll just leave today and visit the ministry of public welfare officially later. Gyu-ha is a little sensitive today because they were away from each other so that I can take the exams.”
In Yoo-shin thought it was time to say hello, so he took a step to the side.
“This is In Yoo-shin. If you’re here to scout me, I want to tell you that I won’t be going to the Narsha Guild.”
No sooner had he finished his greeting than Hyeon Gyu-ha picked up In Yoo-shin again with psychokinesis and hid him behind his back. Gong Tae-seong looked dumbfounded at that, and even Choi Jin-hyuk stepped forward and waved his hand.
“Kong Tae-sung, if your business is over, go quickly. We have to go eat grilled meat.”
"Gong!"
“You said it was Gong Tae-sung?”
“Ha, fuck it. I didn’t come here to talk to people from the institute of special abilites.”
In Yoo-shin, who received Gong Tae-sung's gaze while rubbing his temples, inadvertently shrugged his shoulders slightly. He didn't know why, but he felt like he was being scanned through, and that feeling was never pleasant.
“Gong Tae-sung.”
And Hyeon Gyu-ha senses In Yoo-shin’s shaking more keenly than anyone else. His face grew cold and his low voice growled.
