“But you’re here, aren’t you? I made it clear that you should meet the victim in person, kneel down and apologize respectfully, and if they don’t accept it, stay there.”

“…”

“What’s your answer?”

Han Suwon looked at Park Jinyong. When he looked directly at his eyes, which had turned blue due to the influence of his abilities, Park Jinyong’s body trembled.

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

“Did the victim receive the apology?”

The victim! Park Jinyong was frustrated.

Wasn’t he the victim himself? He was the one who was beaten by that monstrous fellow for putting an F-class into a little dangerous situation!

It was not his fault that the gate was closed, so why does the guild leader make him an assailant!?

“Hunter Park Jinyong, you already know that I hate lies, right?”

But he couldn’t say that to Han Suwon. He bowed his head, vowing to kill the cheeky F-class as soon as possible.

“I did it, and… Th-that F-class accepted it!”

“I made it clear that I hate lies. If that’s not the truth, you’ll have to pay the price.”

Han Suwon lowered his gaze to the document again.

Park Jinyong was relieved only then. It didn’t matter if that F-class had never forgiven him. Because he could simply accuse them of lying in retaliation.

And as he was the leader of a raid in this guild, everyone would believe him.

“But what’s with that scar on your cheek?”

That time, at Han Suwon’s words, Park Jinyong’s eyes widened.

“Scar?”

“It looks pretty deep. Didn’t you know? The one on your left cheek.”

Park Jinyong hurriedly caressed his cheek. The pain spread as soon as his rough fingertips touched it. The pain was so strong that he wondered why he didn’t know until now.

“Huh? When is this…”

He had excellent senses as a top Hunter, and he didn’t even know he was hurt until he touched it?

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

“I-It seems so.”

“… Our business is over, so go ahead. And as I said, the truth about Director Do Junyoung should not be divulged anywhere. If you want to live.”

Do Junyoung. At the name of the terrifying monster disguised as an A-class, Park Jinyong quickly forgot his wound.

When he remembered that terrible day when he had to be hit without being able to resist once, his face turned blue.

Park Jinyong stumbled out of the guild leader’s room.

“He didn’t even know he was hurt…”

Han Suwon stared at his back.

It should be hard not to know because the wound is under his eye… That means the one who hurt him was someone who can fool an A-class Hunter’s sense.

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

But there’s no way he’s ever met Song Hanna, the president of the association, or Do Junyoung, who is on probation. He would have said it if he had met another S-class.

All that’s left is an unknown person he doesn’t know.

“Yoon Seora, Yoon Seora.”

The victim who almost suffered a terrible thing, but returned safely out of good luck.

What was her true fate in the dungeon?

“We’ll see when we meet.”

Han Suwon, who was alternately thinking of Park Jinyong’s wounds and Yoon Seora’s name, shook his head and looked at the documents again.

There were not only two things that had to be fixed because of what Park Jinyong had done.

***

At last, Do Junyoung returned to the office after finishing his probation period.

The waiting office staffs poured out applause for the hero’s return. Of course, Do Junyoung, as always, with a cold face, left only the words I have something to do and went into the director’s office.

As expected, our director hasn’t changed! Everyone burst into laughter.

Hahahaha. In the midst of that, Seora, who was laughing and clapping together, secretly entered the director’s office.

“Have a seat.”

As if he had already expected it, Do Junyoung put two cups of coffee down on the table without showing any signs of surprise.

Seora sat on the sofa and looked at his expression. Although he had been put on probation, nothing had changed from the last time she saw him in the hospital.

As Song Hanna had said, it seemed that it was just a nominal punishment, but she was still not comfortable, so Seora politely bowed her head.

“I’m sorry, Director.”

“What?”

“You got a pay cut and detention because of me. I’m really ashamed of myself.”

“Did you not hear anything from the president?”

Do Junyoung’s face was slightly contorted. There was more curiosity than displeasure.

“It’s all nominal, and it doesn’t really affect me. You don’t have to worry about it because it’s more of a rest.”

“Well, I’ve heard of it, but I feel…”

When Seora awkwardly scratched her cheek, Do Junyoung, who was watching her quietly, nodded.

“Since you feel uncomfortable, I’ll accept it. So let’s stop talking about this.”

A very blunt way to say There is no need to feel guilty, what a reliable boss.

Seora smiled brightly enough to make her cheeks looks swollen.

“Thank you, Director.”

“That’s better than saying you’re sorry.”

When Do Junyoung smiled, Seora felt lighter.

“I was told you’ve met Park Jinyong. Is everything alright?”

“Nothing really happened. Instead of an apology, he came with a red flag. But he didn’t come at me recklessly.”

“He told Clear Blue Guild’s leader that he already apologized and Yoon Seora accepted it. So it was a lie, after all.”

Seora snorted because she had expected it. There was also a slight anger on Do Junyoung’s face.

“Does Clear Blue Guild’s leader believe that?”

“That person has always been neutral. But he’s not the kind of person who can trust Park Jinyong’s words without meeting you first.”

“Uh, even if that person is his guild member?”

“Even if they’re a guild member. Rather, he tend to apply stricter standards to guild members.”

Oh, that was another surprise. I thought he was in the same category because he had Park Jinyong.

“Why on earth did such a person appoint a guy like Park Jinyong as the leader of a raid?”

“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, indeed. It was the right decision as a guild leader.

“Tomorrow, Clear Blue Guild’s leader and Park Jinyong will come to the association. Yoon Seora, are you going to meet them?”

“Yes, of course.”

I was very curious about how much Park Jinyong, who was so arrogant to me, would bend in front of the powerful people of the association. It would be pretty good to laugh at such a view.

“When we meet tomorrow, cuss at him until you feel better. Even though I don’t think that’s enough.”

Seora eventually burst into laughter. But the moment she heard the next words, Seora’s laughter stopped immediately.

“Still, Park Jinyong and Clear Blue Guild’s leader banging their head on the floor, that will be worth seeing.”

Yes? Wait, no, what are you—

“Really? Even Clear Blue Guild’s leader—”

“Of course. Isn’t that a good thing?”

As Do Junyoung’s clenched his fists tightly and a fearsome energy spread, Seora closed her mouth.

I see. Song Hanna and Do Junyoung are all serious. These are the people who can beat even Clear Blue Guild’s leader, the one they called the king of magic.

You scary S-classes guys.

“He didn’t do anything wrong, so you don’t have to do that. Of course, if it’s someone like Park Jinyong, perhaps— Uh, you won’t do it, right?”

Do Junyoung still looked very creepy, but he didn’t lie about this.

“No. I personally don’t hate him that much.”

Do Junyoung’s words sounded sincere, so Seora decided to believe him.

‘Other S-classes will be disappointed. Like Sunset Guild’s leader.’

Seora remembered Eun Injae, the leader of the Sunset Guild, who was singing all the time to make Han Suwon bang his head on the floor in the S-class community. She wondered how bad their relationship was.

Of course, I don’t want to see it in person.

It was hard enough just to get involved with Clear Blue Guild’s leader. This was more than enough.

***

However, it was only today that Seora realized that not everything in the world goes her way.

On the day that Clear Blue Guild’s leader and Park Jinyong finally decided to come to the association.

There were two people who visited this place before that.

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

“I think it gets better every time I come here. You can’t even compare it to our headquarters. Hey, can’t we just swap headquarters?”

“You should go and tell the president of the association about that. What is there that she can’t do without permission? The state will be the one to back down.”

“This is like saying no in a twist. There’s no way that greedy person would allow it.”

One tall woman in a short skirt wearing something like a robe, and one short woman looking around in a hurry.

The two people who were bickering were very familiar with the association.

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

Standing in the association’s office, which was in a commotion at the sudden appearance of the big names, Seora quietly held her head.

‘Did they really come to see Han Suwon’s head getting hit? No, I won’t hit him. I won’t!”

No matter how heavy your hatred is, how could you really come?!

I’ve seen it personally in the S-class dedicated community, but these guys really aren’t normal crazy.

[Administrator: ∠( ᐛ ”∠)_ ]

And the annoying administrator was stocking up on popcorn.

But Seora couldn’t say a word to him, and only wept inwardly and cried at him.

‘Blessing! Blessing!’

Now is the moment when I need your blessing more than ever.

“Hey, Director Do!”

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

Seora, 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.

“There is such an exciting spectacle, how can I not come? I’ve been bored lately, so I’m glad!”

“Go home now. What you two want is not going to happen.”

Eun Injae, the leader of Sunset Guild, lowered her eyes.

“What? Why!? You have done such a great thing!”

“No matter what, I won’t do it. Don’t make things complicated and go home.”

“I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna! Soo-eun wants to see it!”

Yoo Soo-eun, the leader of the Guardian Spirit Guild, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, began to act with words. It was the first time Seora saw Do Junyoung, who was always calm, put on such an openly disgusted expression.

But sadly for him, it was just more pleasing to those two crazy people.

“Injae doesn’t wanna either! Injae wants to see it too!”

“Soo-eun wants to see it!”

“Injae won’t leave until you show it!”

“Soo-eun will stay right here!”

“… you guild leaders.”

In the end, feeling wretched, Do Junyoung held his face and shook his head.
