The Girl I Saved Came Back As An S-rank Hunter

44 – I was happy to find the answer, but I got a misunderstanding

“Ah, so what the hell is the answer!”

The point at which the morning sun has not yet fully risen. After waking up from sleep, he raised his upper body, scratched his messy head, and spat out nervous words.

The hint Kang So-young said yesterday comes to mind as soon as she opens her eyes.

I woke up earlier than usual despite falling asleep while worrying until late at night to find the answer.

I don’t think I could fall asleep because of this personality that keeps digging into me when something bothers me or something important happens.

“Hu, I’m going to die of frustration. If you want to tell me, tell me everything.”

After muttering to herself her resentment toward Kang So-yeong, she reached out her hand toward the mobile phone lying on her bed.

While I was asleep, I saw the sweet messages Sujeongie sent while working.

You must have been so busy that you didn’t even have time to talk on the phone in the evening because you were dealing with things that had been overdue since you went to Kang Hyeon-seok together for me.

When I read the affectionate messages sent in the meantime, I felt that my stuffy feelings were relieved a little because I couldn’t see even the slightest light.

Among them, the message that caught my eye brought a smile to my lips.

[…] You may feel bad because it didn’t go as well as you thought, but don’t worry and you’ll be fine! Go for it! P.S No matter how much secretary Kang is your preference, please refrain from sticking too close or talking happily. You know I’m very jealous, right? I’m going to pout very loudly!]

It was cute that she still misunderstood that it was her preference for older people and thought she liked a type like Kang So-young. Including saying that I am openly jealous.

Of course, Kang So-young’s fashion like yesterday was something that caught men’s attention, but that’s it.

Besides, my woman is Choi Soo-jeong, so there is no reason to give her heart to another person. Appearance is appearance. Ability if ability. If you have a heart towards me, your heart. Because she is a woman who has everything.

Although it is early to think such a heartwarming thought, I decided to get out of bed with the thought that I should wash her thoughts and clear her head for a while.

She took off her nightgown and closed her eyes while turning on the warm water from the shower.

At that moment, her head went blank and she couldn’t think of anything, and it felt like the fatigue caused by not being able to fall asleep was washed away with water.

She was hit by the flowing water for a long time.

‘Huh? She said she had no idea….?’

Then, like lightning, a thought flashed through her head.

Still with her eyes closed, she calmed down her excitement and thought, calmly sorting out what Kang So-yeong had said yesterday.

And she thought and thought and found the right answer.

“Ha, such an easy thing….”

It was so simple that it made me laugh out loud. In the first place, I had already found the answer. I just didn’t realize it.

I finally understood what Kang So-young said about my advantage in the match.

“That was so absurdly stupid.”

It was a skill Kang Hyeon-seok created in the first place, so there was no reason to complicate it.

I thought as I turned off the dripping shower head. Now I’m going to wait a while and see if the answer is actually correct.

*

“You showed up early today too.”

Kang So-yeong, dressed similar to yesterday, appeared at her training ground. She already had a dagger, ‘Yeoubi’, in her hand.

“Yes, I have to prepare in advance, I think I can do well today.”

As she said, implicitly revealing a bit of her confidence, Kang So-yeong looked at her blankly and asked.

“Looks like you found the answer now?”

“Yes, I felt like I was given some homework, so I thought about it all night, but now it seems to be organized.”

“Really? Then I’ll have to check to see if I did the homework correctly. You’ve loosened up your body, right? If you answer incorrectly, you should be prepared for it to be tougher than yesterday.”

Kang So-young subtly intimidates me with my confident attitude. However, she did not tremble at all because she thought that what she thought was perfectly correct.

“Of course. Whatever it is, it’s the way I’ll have to go in the end. If I’m wrong, I’ll accept it.”

After that, she first stood across from Kang So-young and took her posture. Kang So-young also held her dagger in reverse as she did yesterday and pulled it up to her chest.

And then, just like yesterday, a confrontation situation unfolded that didn’t even start.

As she has already experienced, it will end in an instant, so she raised her concentration while looking at Kang So-young. She shouldn’t miss a single moment. Concentration is essential to save the part where I am ahead.

“It’s different this time.”

Kang So-yeong, who continues to confront each other for a longer time than yesterday, staring at her, then quietly talks to her. I can’t attack first anyway, so I have no choice but to go to the patience fight.

“hahahaha, this is the basics.”

She forced a laugh. It was really hard for her as she was in the same pose, careful not to even blink, trying to concentrate so as not to miss her opponent.

Sweat was already pouring down my back like rain, and beads of sweat were about to form on my forehead as well.

However, if he endured this attack well as expected, he could solve not only the answer to the hint, but also the answer to the movement that seemed to teleport at the same time.

I thought it was strange because no matter how fast it was, it was way too fast.

For now, I have no choice but to endure and endure.

I feel like it’s been about an hour? I was so nervous that I couldn’t afford to even glance at the clock hanging on the wall at the training ground. Kang So-yeong spoke softly.

“You haven’t lost your concentration this time.”

Kang So-young disappears as soon as those words fall, leaving behind a trace like yesterday.

And she quickly sensed that her sharp life force and strong mana exploded out.

As I had already planned, I quickly jumped back without any hesitation, and before I knew it, Kang So-yeong, who was next to me, was kicking her kick at the spot where I was standing.

The distance between Kang So-young and me was maintained again. As soon as the prediction came true, Kang So-yeong was making her expression as if she was dissatisfied with me, who was proud.

“That… , Is this the correct answer Wonwoo thinks? Obviously, it contradicts what I explicitly said. Of course, I will say that I got it about half right.”

“It can’t be. I wanted to check it out personally. Not only the correct answer, but also whether the unique characteristics of the secretary are what I thought.”

Kang So-young’s eyebrows slightly raised at those words. And she asked me

“So did you figure out what it was?”

“Yes, your unique trait is [Shadow].”

Soyoung Kang’s unique trait was to influence her opponent through her shadow.

As if she suddenly disappeared, what appeared in front of her was that she moved to that location using my shadow.

In addition, strong pressure was applied to the body as if it were next to it through the shadow in a way that interfered with movement even a little.

“… You’re certainly smart, given that I figured out what my unique perk was in just two days, or three days if I counted the item storage. Few people figured it out on their own.”

Kang So-yeong’s compliment, as if she was sincerely admiring it. However, it is still too early to receive this praise.

“Thank you, but I think it will be okay to listen after hearing my thoughts on the hints still given.”

“I see. Then, where should we check the answers? “

Kang So-yeong’s expression, which is mostly expressionless and frowning, put a smile on her lips as if she was having fun.

The situation of looking at each other and looking at each other with caution unfolded again. But this time it didn’t take too long.

Poof.

An attack using Kang So-young’s dagger that strikes head-on unlike before. Unlike before, I don’t feel any magic or life.

The dagger that splendidly rotated in her hand stabbed her stomach, but after avoiding it, she stretched her fist toward her face to contain it.

‘I’m waiting.’

I could see what Kang So-young intended. Instead of aiming for a fleeting moment like before, he changed the way to aim for loopholes through attacks like Kang Hyeon-seok.

However, since I had already experienced Kang Hyeon-seok’s colorful attack methods and timing, I was able to cope well without being swayed at all in the psychological warfare against Kang So-young, who was somewhat lacking compared to him.

Kang So-yeong, who is impatient with blocked attacks, but keeps calmly attacking.

“Ha ha ha….”

“Whoa….”

Both of them were out of breath and were physically exhausted as they fought non-stop.

And as if she had been waiting for this, her gray magic power exploded from Kang So-young’s body, and the life force that gripped her body incomparably to her before spurted out through the shadows.

‘Now!’

The moment her magical energy was sensed, she just jumped forward without thinking.

The meaning of Kang So-young’s words that she was scared and that she could be the biggest help in learning [Her counterattack].

It was very simple. The moment Kang So-Young released her magic after capturing her magic was the right time to use [Counterattack].

That’s why she said that she was scared of me for not jumping in at the right moment when she could already sense and read her magical powers.

For Kang So-young, who attacks in a way that instantaneously emits magic power for her attack, I had no choice but to be my natural enemy who could accurately pinpoint the timing.

Kang So-young, who was rushing at her, stopped for a second as if she had missed me. In the meantime, she snapped Kang So-young’s wrist and let her hold the dagger, and then she quickly walked on her legs and broke her stance. Knocked down after knocked over.

Kung.

The sound of Kang So-yeong’s body falling to the ground resounded, and she didn’t miss that moment, so she quickly climbed on top and firmly subdued her so that she could no longer attack.

Then, she let out a rough breath and looked at Kang So-young.

“… You have found the right answer.”

Calmly answered Kang So-young’s declaration of the correct answer.

“Thanks to the secretary’s hint.”

“No, I am the one chosen by the young lady. To be honest, I was very unreliable at first.”

Seeing Kang So-yeong talking with a very bright smile unlike usual, as if she was satisfied, I thought that she must be someone who can smile so beautifully.

“I’m glad. Even now, it is recognized like this.”

At that, Kang So-young shook her head and said.

“Not necessarily. It has already been acknowledged to some extent. From the time she risked her life in place of the young lady.”

I thought it was strange at the unexpected words, so I asked more.

“I think you treated me very hard and difficult after going through that? So I thought you hated me.”

At those words, Soyoung Kang told me with a nuance that she didn’t know that.

“She might be the lady’s companion, and would like it if I treated her kindly and friendly. He kept saying that it was Wonwoo-nim’s taste for me. If you still don’t know that much about the lady….”

She immediately knew what he meant. Kang So-young was just doing well with her notice and proper social life. Just like I was watching Kang So-young’s eyes on her.

Of course, I think there are some problems with the original rigid personality.

“More than that, we must not forget this sense of timing, but let’s keep repeating it. Please come down from above me now.”

“Ah… , yes. All right. I will go down quickly.”

Realizing that her current posture was more strange than she thought, she tried to move in a hurry and lost her balance.

“Uh….?”

A big, lumpy feeling in her hand. Her see-through black underwear caught her eye.

Unknowingly, I stretched out her hand to balance her, but it accidentally landed on Kang So-young’s chest.

“What….”

Kang So-yeong was also embarrassed, and unlike usual, her face turned bright red.

I too was startled and quickly withdrew her hand. She was about to explain that it was a mistake by losing her balance, when suddenly a cold voice called out.

“Wonwoo….”

A silver-haired girlfriend who had just opened the training ground door and called out to me, spraying her chills.
