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

85 – The Man’s Qualification Test

A life that seems like it’s about to collapse at any moment.

It is not easy just to hold her spirit completely under the strong pressure Kang So-yeong has shown before, which is incomparable to anything she showed before.

“My kids are bickering a little bit. What are you trying to do, huh?”

Choi Tae-shik speaks easily, as if a young brother and sister were fighting at home.

To think that this is the only way to think when the whole world has become a huge event that deserves attention.

It is very clear who Wooseok Choi resembles in the way he thinks of everything on his own terms.

Perhaps that’s why he responded with a choked voice in response to the blatant repulsion.

“I’m dating your daughter, Choi Soo-jeong, so at least it’s not Nam-il.”

“What is that? Anyone who sees it will think that they wrote a marriage certificate, right? They don’t seem to be in a relationship yet, but in my eyes?”

Choi Tae-shik snorts and strongly denies my words.

Is it jealousy as a father with a daughter?

Or do you really think it’s just a family problem?

I don’t know which way you think, but I can’t accept saying that it’s nothing special about my relationship with Sujeong.

“We sincerely care for and love each other! I can’t accept what you’re saying!”

Then Choi Tae-sik stared at me with a cold expression.

He looked at me quietly and spoke to me in a scolding voice.

“A guy who can’t do anything for me to live is good at making fun of his mouth? Love you sincerely But why are you here?”

“Yes… ?”

“I am asking why you are here. Sooner or later there will be a life-or-death battle, so I asked why you came all this way without protecting the one you love.”

“Kuh….”

I couldn’t answer Choi Tae-shik’s question.

Because it’s true that I came here thinking that I might be able to solve the doubt about Sujeongi in my heart.

However, it feels like my heart has become heavier since I was pointed out and pointed out that part accurately.

“Tsk tsk, you ugly bastard. I don’t know how my precious daughter fell in love with a guy like this.”

Choi Tae-shik clicks his tongue and feels sorry.

After that, as the strong life force suddenly disappeared, I unconsciously looked at the ground with my fists on the floor.

The body is already covered in sweat.

On the other hand, Choi Tae-shik looks at me with pitiful eyes.

I feel ashamed because I feel as if my private parts have been caught.

But as I had a purpose for coming here, I asked Choi Tae-shik.

“I have something to ask you.”

“I know. I heard it through an informant. What are you curious about?”

Choi Tae-shik speaks as if he already knows everything about me.

As a former guild leader of the Seonggwang Guild, it seems that he has built his own information network well even though he is secluded in the countryside.

“Then… ?”

I wonder if I can finally know the truth, so my anticipation rises.

But Choi Tae-sik shook his head and said.

“I know what you want, but do you really need to tell me? Being that weak won’t help anyway.”

Choi Tae-shik blatantly says that he doesn’t want to be told.

However, as I am not in a position to cover cold or hot rice right now, I made the request with a sincere heart.

“I will do anything for Sujeongi, so please let me know.”

Saying that, he knelt down.

Even if I were to die right away, I had never gotten down on his knees before, but this time is different.

Because it’s a much more important issue than my pride.

Beloved, do you want to believe in Sujeongi once again and go through it together?

It is a necessary process for that.

“Yes… ? Would you do anything? Is it real?”

Choi Tae-shik puts on an eerie smile while saying that.

I sensed an ominous feeling while watching Choi Tae-shik with a sinister smile, but since I had already spit it out, I couldn’t be bitten.

“Of course.”

“Really? Then where should I see you?”

Then he rummaged through his clothes, picked up a brown pouch, and threw it at me.

“What is it?”

“Open it first.”

I opened my pockets with uneasiness, probably because I could tell that he had an eccentric personality just from the brief conversations I had.

Unexpectedly, however, what was in the pocket was something brown that looked like chocolate.

“So what is this?”

“That’s a medicine made by the Starlight Guild. It is a very precious medicine that brings out the user’s potential to the limit.”

Is it because it is a medicine that only the insiders of the Seonggwang Guild take?

It’s a drug I’ve never heard of before in my life.

“But why are you giving this to me?”

“Eat it and prove it. That you can do anything.”

“I don’t understand the relationship between eating this and proof?”

Then Choi Tae-sik laughed loudly.

After that, a shocking explanation was added.

“The moment you take this medicine, the soul of the user leaves the body for a very short time.”

“Wait a minute. Isn’t that just dying?”

As it turns out, he was dumbfounded at the thought that he tried to poison him.

“It’s just that the soul leaves, but it’s not completely dead yet. However, in a state where the body and soul are separated, you will be forcibly dragged somewhere, but if you go there, you will probably die, right?”

“No, then you mean going to the brink of death!”

“Yes, but. Because you can’t be dragged away. All you have to do is grab hold of your body and climb on top of it. It’s clear that I said the same thing to the guys who came to learn from me. It’s not that difficult.”

I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m sure it won’t be easy.

It’s a life-or-death situation, but it can’t be that easy.

“What, so you don’t want to do it? Is the love you speak of just words? hahahaha. Then it is. There’s no way you guys could love like that.”

Choi Tae-shik provokes me as soon as I show signs of not wanting to do something.

However, I still hesitate to say that I have to risk my life to this extent when there is no word yet that I will properly tell you what I am curious about.

“Tsk tsk.”

Choi Tae-shik clicks his tongue again when he sees me like that.

Then he spoke as if he was being kind.

“I guess it’s because I’m not sure. I’m afraid I won’t get anything by making them suffer. I’ll bet on the name [Sword Demon] And say it. I promise to tell you freely about any questions you want.”

“Is that true?”

“Sure. You must be familiar with this nickname, right?”

I nodded in agreement with Choi Tae-sik’s words.

As Choi Tae-shik is famous for his nickname and his unique characteristic [Sword Demon], It is safe to say that he will keep this promise unconditionally.

Now the board is completely laid.

All you have to do is eat and come back alive.

“Okay. Let’s eat.”

“Really? Are you sure you won’t regret it?”

“Yes, I’m stubborn too, and hearing that my feelings for Sujeong is a lie is worse than dying.”

While saying that, I picked up a square pill the size of my palm.

“Put it in your mouth and do not chew it, but dissolve it as much as possible before eating it. That way it works.”

“Yes.”

Choi Tae-shik gives meticulous instructions until the very end.

For some reason, I had a nasty feeling, but I tried to ignore it, closed my eyes tightly, and poured it into my mouth.

Feels like eating crayons as the unknown bitter scent fills your nose.

I wanted to chew it right away, but I forcibly savored the taste as I slowly melted it with my tongue.

I wonder if it took that long to thaw and eat.

As time went by and no traces were felt in my mouth, I waited with my eyes closed, thinking that it would work now.

However, the bitterness in the mouth is full, but the spirit is getting clearer.

I opened my eyes to see if my soul had already departed, but my hand still moves freely at will.

I thought something was wrong and I was thinking about what to do when I heard Choi Tae-shik’s voice.

“What are you doing?”

“No, I ate, but I didn’t feel anything….”

I felt strange and looked at Choi Tae-sik to let him know that there was a problem.

And I immediately realized.

That I was deceived.

“Someone cheats on this! Does it make sense that if you die and come back to life, you become stronger! hahahaha.”

Choi Tae-shik laughs as if he’s dying for fun.

“No! Is it right to play a joke on someone who is serious now? I ate with the determination to die!”

Let’s shout out loud out of shame rather than resentment of being cheated, Choi Tae-sik reacted with a bigger laugh.

After laughing for such a long time, Choi Tae-shik seemed to have calmed down.

“Ah, thanks to you, I really laughed a lot.”

“So what did you give me?”

“What is it? It’s 100% cocoa chocolate.”

Somehow.

As soon as I ate it, the bitter taste was too strong.

It tastes similar to the one I ate once when I was young, so I did it just in case, but I never thought it would be real.

“So, was everything you said a lie?”

I was indignant and asked Choi Tae-sik like an argument.

Then Taesik Choi shook his head and said.

“No, there really is. It’s just that it’s made for kids who work really hard but lack talent. I have no reason to give it to you unless you are my disciple. Because it is precious.”

“I see.”

“Uh, but when I was young, I wanted to become stronger, so I used it once, but it seems to be different. It helped me realize my new powers.”

“I see…. But why did you lie to me and feed me?”

Taesik Choi looked at me and said, his smile completely gone at that question.

“You said you would do anything? Then you should see that resolution. I really care for our Sujeongi that much. Do you have the courage to intervene in this matter?”

“So…. Am I passing?”

“Yeah, what. I’ll admit it to some extent. I didn’t completely accept the relationship with Sujeong because I was weak.”

I was annoyed at Choi Tae-sik’s words that still leave room for me, but that wasn’t the point, so I moved on to the main topic.

“So, are you going to tell me now?”

“… It should be. A promise is a promise.”

As he said that, he sat back down where he had been standing.
