It was about two months before the mid-term evaluation was held.

 

“Tseu-eup, this is something that can’t be helped because the only way to increase your abilities is through dungeons, classes, and training.”

 

Jin Yuha immediately gathered the party members together, crossed his arms and nodded as if he didn’t like something.

 

“Is there something wrong with us?”

 

Shin Se-hee asked Jin Yu-ha.

 

“You guys are so weak right now.”

 

“······Yes?”

 

“Ha, the people we have to deal with in the future will continue to get stronger, but if we continue like this, we will just be annihilated. However, it is not a scale that I can solve on my own.”

 

“Well, then what should I do?”

 

Shin Se-hee, who heard Jin Yu-ha’s words as close to the truth as possible, asked.

 

“Sseuup, I’m still immature so I wonder if this is right. Now that I see it, it’s clear. After all, it would be better to start a little faster.”

 

“Yes? “Starting?”

 

“Uh, training. “You will have to undergo training under my supervision every night from now on.”

 

At the same time, Jin Yuha grumbled in an inaudible voice.

 

“No, of course. “It’s definitely not because I’m the only one being treated unfairly or something like that, right?”

 

It was true that the other party members had less fighting power than Jin Yuha, so they kept her mouth shut and shook her head.

 

Kang Do-hee could not help but frown.

 

‘······Am I weak?’

 

Jin Yuha’s one word touched her heart.

 

In the case of Kang Do-hee.

 

She had been doing grappling or something like that with him since before in her interpersonal combat classes.

 

Because breaking away from her strange joints was a condition for resparring with Jin Yuha.

 

Of course, every time, one useless rumor is added.

 

To be honest, it was a little annoying to see other cadets drooling and spying on the training.

 

─ Me too… Can’t I ask you to teach me that? I also want to be crushed by Jin Yuha!

 

─ Can you do it?

 

─ Ah… I’m really jealous of Kang Do-hee. He closed the SSS level gate and returned? What kind of life should I live…!

 

─ Hey, I think you can see a little bit of chest over there!?

 

Tingling.

 

─ Hee!?

 

No one spoke openly in front of me, so I just ignored it.

 

Anyway.

 

‘Yes, I admit to doing grappling or something.’

 

Except for the minor(?) Problem of being tightly entangled in a manly posture with your body close to your body,

 

Certainly training with Jin Yuha gave her considerable inspiration and enlightenment on how to use her body.

 

However, it was a training that started with Jin Yu-ha holding on tightly from the beginning.

 

If it was a real fight, you could have handled it before he even wrapped himself around you.

 

So, it is natural that Jin Yu-ha cannot hear the words ‘weak’ right away.

 

“Yellow─.”

 

“Kang Do-hee.”

 

However, before Kang Do-hee could step forward, she interrupted Jin Yu-ha, interrupting her as if she had expected it.

 

“Of course, you are stronger than me now.”

 

“······.”

 

“But will that really be the case even after a year?”

 

“What?”

 

“The speed of my growth. Don’t you think I’m getting stronger too quickly?”

 

At that, Kang Do-hee trembled.

 

That was something she had always thought about ever since she recognized Jin Yu-ha’s true value.

 

Jin Yuha’s growth rate.

 

A week before and a week after are different.

 

Three days before and three days later are different.

 

Yesterday and today are different.

 

Why, why, how can Jin Yu-ha become so strong so quickly?

 

While others are running on their own two feet, Jin Yuha moves forward quickly as if he has wings.

 

I was anxious because of this.

 

He becomes stronger at a different rate than others, and it is clear that he will one day overtake even himself.

 

In the future, I might play the role of a bridesmaid watching from behind as he goes ahead alone.

 

Because I couldn’t help but think that way.

 

After Kang Do-hee met Jin Yu-ha, she reduced her sleep and increased the proportion of her solo training.

 

The gap with Jin Yuha was steadily narrowing every day.

 

“······.”

 

Kang Do-hee said nothing and glared at Jin Yu-ha.

 

“I’m going to tell you that secret now. So can you trust me and accept my training?”

 

* * *

 

Ha.

 

A laugh escaped Kang Do-hee’s mouth as she recalled her old memories for a moment.

 

I don’t know Jin Yuha’s past yet.

 

I only know the fragmentary fact that her parents died when she was young.

 

Because she didn’t like doing background research or forcing herself to dig into things she didn’t want to talk about.

 

However, she went through the grueling training.

 

Only then did Kang Do-hee feel like he had glimpsed the source of Jin Yu-ha’s ridiculous growth rate.

 

In fact, Jin Yu-ha simply benchmarked Baek Seol-hee’s education.

 

It was impossible for Kang Do-hee to know this.

 

‘Insane training.’

 

Jinyuha unleashed intense murderous energy on the party members.

 

A vivid way of life that even shows the illusion of being decapitated.

 

It was absolutely not something a boy at that age could have.

 

‘This is a guy who lives in the midst of death every day like that…’

 

Even though it is a man’s body, it would be strange if it did not become stronger.

 

Probably, it was because my parents passed away.

 

It was the training of a madman who dismissed my life as ‘just something’ and was only focused on becoming stronger.

 

I can’t bear it if I’m sane.

 

To be honest, Kang Do-hee almost gave up several times due to the insane level of difficulty.

 

She gritted her teeth and completed all of her training.

 

She wants to be Jin Yu-ha’s rival standing right next to him.

 

Because she didn’t want to be a bridesmaid who clapped or slapped behind his back.

“Ahahahahaha! Are you cute? What? “Would you like to get hit on by your sister?”

 

Ling Wei looked dumbfounded for a moment, but then she suddenly burst into laughter.

 

“Dog fighting, yes, dog fighting…. I’ve heard his name somewhere, but he’s a promising star, right? What do you think has happened since people are giving it up? “If you join me now, will you be able to touch at least one part of my body?”

 

“You won’t know unless you try.”

 

Kang Do-hee took a stance in front of her.

 

‘Is this a guy called Mine?’

 

She heard from Shin Se-hee that the opponent was Mine.

 

Magic Man.

 

Those who became human but gave up their human hearts.

 

Unlike monsters, this enemy is intelligent.

 

Something dangerous.

 

I had only heard of the existence of a demon, but this was my first time actually dealing with it.

 

Of course, not long after the entrance ceremony, when a senior turned into a demon.

 

There was a time when I participated in a battle upon Jin Yuha’s summons, but at that time, I only dealt with the monsters that the demon had brought.

 

When he turned to Jin Yu-ha to help him, Majin had already committed suicide.

 

Sereung─

 

The weapon Ling Wei pulled out from the subspace tattoo was a rain sword.

 

Multiple pieces of monument.

 

‘I guess he mainly uses throwing techniques.’

 

In that subspace, there must be a secret passage that will not dry even if you pull it out.

 

After all, it’s a long distance away.

 

It is a bit difficult for someone who mainly uses melee attacks to deal with it.

 

Even just a little while ago, my body was full of fatigue from the aftermath of the fight to the death with Yu-ri Lee.

 

‘But, what is that?’

 

Kang Do-hee looked at the woman who resembled a weasel and let out a chuckle.

 

This is an enemy that must be defeated here anyway.

 

And I don’t know, but Jin Yuha is probably engaged in a bloody battle with a bigger guy somewhere else.

 

In such a situation, if you can’t even deal with these random mobs, you have to flatter yourself in front of Yellowy.

 

“Today, all you have to do is hit me.”

 

Lin Kang Do-hee, who was chanting lowly, kicked her feet and launched her body towards Ling Wei.

 

Taaat─!

 

Then, at the approaching speed, which was much faster than expected, Ling Wei’s expression hardened and he swung his arm like a sword.

 

Sweet love~!

 

Five beads extending from the fingertips.

 

Bido flew in, spreading his wings as if encircling.

 

The presence of each rain was so heavy that it could not be ignored.

 

Kang Do-hee’s eyes sank low as the bloody sound came from the rain.

 

─ You are born with fiery mana, but that doesn’t allow your head to become hot.

 

If you get excited just because you’ve been given a chance to live, you’ll just die on the spot.

 

Jin Yuha’s voice flows into my head.

 

‘Rover cub.’

 

I know that without even saying it!

 

Towoong─

 

Ting!

 

Ting!

 

She wrapped her hands in mana and struck out one of her rain blades.

 

And then the hit blade collided with the other two blades and its direction was distorted.

 

The two remaining monuments.

 

Kang Do-hee twisted her body to avoid her even while floating in the air.

 

Then, when Kang Do-hee got close to her.

 

“Profit!”

 

Whoosh!

 

A dagger was pulled out from Ling Wei’s wrist.

 

‘Really, this is a rat-like method.’

 

Kang Do-hee did not avoid the dagger pointed at her head.

 

Just.

 

She stretched out her hand and grasped the blade of the dagger.

 

Kwasik!

 

Toouk─

 

Toouk─

 

Red blood flowed from Kang Do-hee’s palm and fell to the floor.

 

“Hey, you know.”

 

Kang Do-hee stared at Ling Wei.

 

“This girl learned quite a bit of the grappling technique through this interpersonal fight?”

 

“······!?”

 

The corners of Kang Do-hee’s mouth rose above her grin.

 

“But, you were caught?”
