54 – Let’s go on summer vacation

“Wow, it’s hot.”

After working hard, I was exhausted and laid down on the training ground.

Unlike the air inside the training ground, the floor was still cold, so it felt good to feel cool when my skin touched it.

“Looks like summer is just around the corner.”

It was the usual amount of training, but it feels like the room temperature has risen higher than usual.

In addition, the bright sunlight peeking out of the window and the heat of the asphalt sizzling showed at a glance that summer was not far off.

‘I have to turn on the air conditioner now.’

I personally prefer to train while sweating to some extent, so I didn’t use the air conditioner often.

Scientifically, it is said that training while maintaining an appropriate body temperature is more efficient.

However, in my case, I prefer to train by pushing myself to the limit in any situation, so I chose to enjoy the rapid consumption of my physical strength caused by the environment.

Should I say that the feeling of fulfillment when I overcame the small adversity I created on purpose and eventually filled up the amount of training was exceptional.

If I talk like this, other people may say that I am a pervert who enjoys pain.

[Yes, it won’t be that easy.]

Your phone rings if you forgot to switch to vibrate mode. When I got up and looked at my cell phone number, the saved caller’s name as ‘person I don’t want to receive 2’ popped up.

“Ah, that reporter again. Stop giving up now.”

After putting the phone back down like that, after ringing for a while, the ringtone stopped.

“Whew, I didn’t expect the reaction to be this big….”

The next day after the re-examination, the video that Ma Dong-sik talked about was uploaded on the official website of the Hunter Association and the official Nutube channel.

I cut them into theory, magic, and practice, and edited them briefly.

Originally, the identity of the person in charge of the test was only revealed to the hunter level and was hidden, but Kang Cheol-min’s face was also revealed as it was without filtering, as if it had gone through prior consultation with the Sung-gwang guild.

And the practical test ended in a short time. Because of the skills Kang Chul-min has shown so far, he must have expected my defeat.

However, although there was a crisis, it became a bigger topic than expected as it seemed to end rather overwhelmingly.

In the comments, most of the comments were friendly or approving, such as ‘As expected, Choi Soo-jung chose the man’, ‘Kang Hyun-seok and Han Yu-ra’s words were true’, and ‘Lee Won-woo shows and proves with his skills.’

Although it was a minority, there were occasional nonsensical comments such as ‘I took a forbidden drug’ and ‘Choi Soo-jeong caught a dragon, an S-class monster, and fed its heart.’

Especially, the comment that was most absurd while watching was the content that ‘Lee Won-woo became stronger by absorbing Choi Soo-jung’s mana while dating Choi Soo-jung and staying up all night.’

In other words, there is a rumor that Lee Won-woo is a male succubus, but from my point of view, knowing the truth, I laughed out loud, but it also made me sadder.

‘We haven’t done it yet….’

The truth that no one knows except Sujeongi and me. It would have been less unfair if I tried and heard something like that.

Anyway, thanks to that, I got more attention than before, and I kept receiving requests for interviews or appearances from broadcasting stations and media outlets.

Actually, he thought about appearing at least once, but then gave up, mostly because he wanted to tell the story in a way that the subject was a life reversal.

I have to reveal the whole process of how I became a hunter who beat an A-class hunter from a D-class, but I can’t reveal this part yet.

Because I had to tell everything about the magic suppressor implanted in my body, as well as the past with Sujeong.

In the current situation where I don’t even know who did that to me, the part about the magic suppressor will get a lot of attention, and the person who did it may try to cover it up even more.

After discussion with Sujeongi, we decided that it was better to stay still.

“Anyway, it’s already been a week since I haven’t seen Sujeong.”

The day I met Choi Woo-seok after the re-examination. Sujeongi smiled and asked for my understanding, telling me to have dinner later.

Unlike the usual Sujeongie, her expression was very bad, and her hostility toward Choi Woo-seok was expressed so blatantly that it seemed like something bad had happened to Choi Woo-seok like me.

Actually, there were quite a few questions in my heart.

I was also curious about your relationship with Choi Woo-seok and what Choi Woo-seok meant when he said, “He’s a half-pounder who can’t even handle his own strength properly.”

But at the time, it didn’t look like it was in that state, so I passed it on with the thought of asking later, but since then I’ve been busy and haven’t been able to see it.

I contacted him from time to time before going to sleep, but I couldn’t ask because he was struggling with work.

‘Well, I’ll tell you. It’s not urgent right now.’

After that day, I only care more about how Sujeong will feel.

“Huh? Wonwoo. Are you fooling around?”

I heard that even a tiger will come when I say it. While Sujeong was thinking, she opened the training ground door and came in with her silver hair dancing like a lie.

“Ah, I was taking a break after training today.”

“You have the air conditioner on! Given Wonwoo’s personality, he must have been like, ‘I feel like I can train properly when it’s hot!’ I’ll eat the heat though.”

A week ago, Sujeongi, who was in a bad mood, came to me out of nowhere and smiled brightly.

I was worried, but I was a little relieved to see her brightening up.

If I were still feeling down, I would have thought about trying to get rid of it somehow. It doesn’t seem necessary.

“So why did you visit today, guild leader?”

“Ahem. I mean, I’m here today to give you something very nice.”

When I jokingly talked to him, Sujeong also accepted it and cleared his throat awkwardly.

“Guild leader, what a good suggestion? Can you raise my salary?”

“Uh huh, better than that!”

“Or a better item from the Item Storage?”

“Something more precious, lovely, and important than that!”

“Hmm, is there such a thing?”

I think you know the answer, but I kept joking around trying to make fun of Sujeong. Sujeong-i puts her mouth out all the way at those words and puts on a troubled expression.

“Are you going to keep doing that on purpose, Wonwoo?”

“Sorry sorry. It’s nice to see you after a long time, so it’s like this.”

I felt like I would really go crazy if I added it, so I quickly changed my attitude.

“So how are you going to give me that important crystal tooth? Is it already mine?”

At those words, Sujeongi smiled and said as if her mood suddenly improved.

“hehehe, yes. Now, when it gets really hot, I have to divide the guild members and send them on vacation.”

“Yes. If we go all at once and suddenly a gate explodes in the area we are in charge of, it will cause a stir.”

If there was even a hole in the area in charge, it was obvious that the area transferred from the Hunter Association would not only be taken away, but also be subjected to intensive media coverage, and the image would deteriorate.

“Yes, so I, the guild leader, decided to go first before the full-scale summer vacation! But if I decided to go, then of course Wonwoo should go too, right?”

“I heard that you have been very late with work. Is that okay?”

It was nice to go on vacation with Sujeong, but I was more worried about that part because Sujeong had been busy with work before.

“Surprisingly, Secretary Kang allowed me to go in advance!”

“Really? That’s good.”

I’m guessing that he probably knew what had happened to Sujeong and tried to change his mood.

It’s strange that the conservative Kang So-yeong managed to allow the two of them to go on a trip together.

“Isn’t it? Besides, this is our first trip together.”

“Come to think of it, we’ve never been very far. But where are you going?”

In response to my question, Sujeong tapped her own chest and said confidently.

“I prepared everything in advance. In the past, a place with a good view of the sea came out at a cheap price, so I bought that land and built a villa there. You can go there.”

It’s new to hear that he bought it and prepared it instead of borrowing it like Sujeongie did, but I felt once again that wealth is no joke.

If you look at her normal conversations and behavior, she just feels like a pretty strong 20-year-old girl.

‘… Even if you take away her wealth, she’s not particularly ordinary.’

While I was thinking about that, Sujeongi suddenly came closer and whispered a small whisper in my ear.

“And this time, when I go out to play, I’ll just have one drink. You can really look forward to it this time.”

Then she fell and Soo-jeong looked at her blushing as she put her index finger to her lips.

Even after the person said it, that provocative yet expectant look and expression stimulated my heart again.

“Whoops, look at your expression. I really like it when Wonwoo-nim looks at me blankly like this sometimes.”

At Sujeongi’s words, looking at me with a relaxed attitude, I thought that I was staring blankly like an idiot again, so I quickly replied.

“Tease in moderation. Then when are you leaving?”

“I’m leaving in a week. In the meantime, I have to work in advance. Thanks to that, I work overtime all week long.”

“Are you okay?”

I was worried that I might be overdoing it. When I asked, Sujeongi shook her head and said,

“No, as long as I can go on a trip with Wonwoo, I can endure it!”

Seeing Sujeongie with her serious face clenching her fists and proclaiming her resolute will, I laughed because it was so cute.

“Why are you laughing? I said this very solemnly and seriously!”

“Just. It makes me laugh because it’s cute.”

“Well, Wonwoo-nim will take care of it. They say they are happy to see me, but I have to allow that much.”

While we were talking face-to-face after such a long time, Kang So-yeong came in as we opened the door to the training ground.

“Are you here, my lady?”

“Yes, I came to take a break and tell Wonwoo about the summer vacation that Secretary Kang suggested.”

“I see. Since you weren’t there, I put all the urgent tasks on the desk.”

“Yes, I’ll go and take care of it in a little while.”

“Okay.”

Hearing that, Sujeongi said while Kang Soyoung opened the door again and was about to leave.

“Thank you for caring. Thank you for suggesting to go on a trip.”

“… It was nothing. As a secretary, it is something that you should take care of and do.”

Kang So-young leaves after lightly bowing her head. As a dishonest person, she must have been in a good mood, but she seems to be hiding it.

“Come on, Wonwoo. I’ll go back to work for my vacation then. Are you going to train more?”

“No. Let’s finish here and rest for today.”

“Yes, then. Even if I’m not there, do you have to eat dinner or something?”

“Ah, I am not a child. I’m good on my own!”

At those words, Soo-jeong smiled and said to me.

“I get it, I get it. I’ll go then Call me again in the evening.”

“Yeah, I’m having a hard time.”

After Sujeongi left, she went to the shower and suddenly had that thought.

“I can’t believe I won’t get hit again this time, right?”

*

Finally, the day of vacation. We decided to meet at the train station under Sujeong’s wish to travel by train with me.

She came out a little earlier than the scheduled train time and waited with excitement at the thought that it was her first trip with Sujeong.

The weather was nice, though it was hot like summer, and the train was never delayed.

I was honestly worried about what would happen all week, but for now, everything seems to be going well.

As I waited at the entrance of the train station, feeling a little relieved, I saw a familiar limousine.

With pleasure, I moved to the door to greet Sujeongi. And she greeted me by name and opened the door.

“Sujeong-ah!”

Unexpectedly, however, when I opened the door, I saw Kang So-yeong in a black suit glaring at me.
