‘I’m tired.’

 

Baek Seol-hee was suddenly deployed to the S-class gate explosion in Pohang.

 

If it had been a gate ‘attack’, there would have been no need for all instructors to move.

 

Because Majerina was able to clear and exit the S-class gate by herself.

 

However, it is not a strategy but an explosion.

 

When monsters pop out of the gate, the work to do increases dozens of times.

 

As the S-class gate burst, the level of monsters was high, and the damage to civilians was at a level that could not be ignored.

 

Even though Lina used telekinesis to repair collapsed buildings in the area, people dispatched from the Hunter Management Bureau rescued them, and members of the Demon Slayer and Baek Seol-hee built monsters, there was still a lot of work to do.

 

─ Great, boss! You are too fast!!

 

─ Hey, I’m dying!?

 

─ Don’t be too harsh. These guys are worse than first year cadets.

 

─ No, you’re really going to die!!

 

─ It’s noisy.

 

Baek Seol-hee’s handling of the work was so tight that the extermination team members who had gone through such terrible training that it could be called a nightmare cried.

 

But the more it happened, the more Baek Seol-hee cut and cut the monsters with more passion.

 

─ Keee! Crook!?

 

─ Yes, thank you. Thank you─huh? Uh, where have you been?

 

I was anxious.

 

For some reason, her anxiety that she did not know kept urging her on.

 

If you don’t go to the exam center where the mid-term evaluation is held right now, you will definitely regret it later.

 

Her intuition said so.

 

Because of this, we cut down the monsters in their prime.

 

Right after clearing out most of the visibly dangerous ones.

 

She went to Lina and said.

 

─ I will go back to the testing site first.

 

Then Lina twitched her eyebrows and asked back.

 

─ ······You want to go back?

 

─ Yes, the remaining situation will be able to be resolved with the extermination team members and the chairman.

 

At that time, when Baek Seol-hee said those words, she was prepared to receive a considerable level of reprimand.

 

Because he knew better than anyone else how stupid this was.

 

The leader of the assassination team would withdraw alone in the middle of a mission.

 

Does that make any sense?

 

Even though Lina usually treated me in a light and comfortable manner, she did not say that this applied even while working.

 

However.

 

Lina stared at Baek Seol-hee for a long time.

 

Readily, she nodded.

 

─ Okay, go ahead. I’ll take a picture of the location separately. I’ll send it to a nearby location.

 

I was a little embarrassed by Lina’s attitude. Baek Seol-hee just nodded her head.

 

And now.

 

Baek Seol-hee clicked his tongue when he saw Jin Yu-ha standing in the middle of the scene of gruesome slaughter.

 

‘I guess I know roughly what happened.’

 

* * *

 

“The sword is shaking.”

 

A familiar, low-pitched voice comes from behind.

 

I stopped extending my sword at the demons and turned my head.

 

“S, Master…!?”

 

Originally, Chairman Lina would return to the desert island after all mid-term evaluations were completed.

 

Her instructors also return with Lina.

 

‘But, you came in one day…?’

 

I looked around her, but there were no other instructors or Lina in sight.

 

I looked at Baek Seol-hee with a puzzled expression.

 

Torn clothes, face splattered with blood, eyes slightly closed as if tired.

 

The outfit that was always neat was a mess.

 

At first glance, it looks like it took a considerable amount of effort.

 

“Do not be swayed by the sword. “Didn’t I teach you that?”

 

Ttogak

 

Ttogak

 

Baek Seol-hee approached me, brushing her hair.

 

“Emotions are a powerful driving force. She is like a black arrow filled with emotions. Is the explosive power of a moment powerful? “Once she shoots, she never comes back.”

 

“······Ah.”

 

“Now, is this battlefield truly a battlefield that will contain your emotions?”

 

Baek Seol-hee made eye contact with her and asked in a serious voice.

 

“······No.”

 

I shook my head and answered.

 

“Are you that angry?”

 

“······.”

 

“Whoa, really… “They said it was Dajeong disease.”

 

Baek Seol-hee stroked my head with an ambiguous expression, not sure if she was worried or happy.

 

“But, you did well. Thanks to you, no one was able to die even though a major event called the appearance of demons occurred. You did it all. “Be proud.”

 

“······Yes.”

 

It was then.

 

“S, teacher!? Okay! In that case, you are the instructor of that academy!!! Then stop that crazy bastard!!!”

 

“Ah, I can’t believe an academy cadet could kill someone so easily! “What on earth did you teach me?”

 

“That’s right! You human butcher! “Be a good guard to your students!”

 

“Uhi, let’s sleep quietly! Ugh, please give me some face!!!!”

 

Those words paradoxically flowed from among the demons who were cornered.

 

It seems they thought that since the academy instructor had arrived, they would not die here.

 

“Those trashy people are alive…”

 

Baek Seol-hee glanced at them with cold eyes.

 

“What you guys are killing is not murder, but what the academy cadets are killing is murder.”

 

“Ha, but! How dare you attack an enemy who has lost his fighting spirit! That’s what a hunter would do—”

 

One of the demons who had her arm cut off protested as if it was unfair.

 

“They are doing such a damn thing.”

 

Baek Seol-hee cut those words off immediately.

 

“To begin with, aren’t you scum who kill not enemies but civilians who don’t even have power? And, did you really think I wouldn’t know what you were thinking?”

 

Sereung─

 

She drew her sword with a languid gesture of her world.

 

“If I were to run away from this place, I would have tried to intimidate my student by using those cadets as hostages. “To stimulate this child’s tender heart.”

 

I flinch.

 

The bodies of the demons trembled at that firm voice.

 

And me too.

 

‘······Uh, um. Isn’t it…? It’s just because of the soup.’

 

I looked at her with an awkward expression. Baek Seol-hee continued speaking.

 

“Because of you, my disciple almost went astray. From that moment on, your end is already decided.”

 

Then she turned her head and looked at me.

 

“Hmm, Master’s condition is not that good right now… “I have a lesson to teach you now.”

 

“Here, suddenly there’s class?”

 

When I asked with a puzzled face, Baek Seol-hee nodded her head slightly.

 

“Okay, would you like to swing the sword together?”

 

* * *

 

The appearance of Baek Seol-hee.

 

Only one instructor appeared in this crowded scene, but the cadets watching sighed with relief deep in their hearts.

 

The scene where Jin Yu-ha slices up her enemies like twisting the head of a chicken was refreshing at first glance, but…

 

To be honest,

 

I was scared.

 

Jin Yuha’s murderous spirit was not directed only at demons.

 

Of course, the demons were directly responsible for making Yuri like that, so their concentration to kill was incomparable.

 

No matter how much he didn’t know, the cadets who had been watching Yu-ri Lee until she got to that point were also objects of resentment for Jin Yu-ha.

 

The cadets, who were scared of living such a rough life, gradually regained the light in their eyes after hearing Baek Seol-hee’s remarks.

 

Then I was overcome with emotion.

 

“······We almost became hostages?”

 

“So, that’s why you were so angry.”

 

“I-I don’t even know that…”

 

“For both Lee Yuri and Jin Yuha, we were all a burden… But, for those of us…”

 

The reason why Jin Yu-ha is so angry and wants to kill the demons is partly because of Yu-ri Lee.

 

Because she realized that it was to prevent the demons from doing their dirty work.

 

And Lee Min-young, who was among the cadets, also felt a resonance that seemed to pierce through her soul.

 

‘······Ah.’

 

People who try desperately like me to protect.

 

He is truly a noble person.

 

How did we look at him like that…?

 

Her personality has changed a little strangely compared to before, but her foundation has not yet changed.

 

Although he always sparred with Jin Yu-ha, he still only judged him based on his appearance, and eventually did not acknowledge him and treated him hostilely.

 

But, in order to protect us, he throws himself on the line and fights a bloody battle with the demons.

 

But, how did we view him like that?

 

‘······At least, at least you shouldn’t look at it like this.’

 

Lee Min-young bit her lip tightly.

 

She turned her head and shouted at her cadets.

 

“All of you! Keep this fight clearly in your eyes!!! We all owe that man our lives! “You must not miss every moment to remember that fact!”

 

And then, the cadets lost their fearful gaze and watched the fight between Jin Yu-ha and Baek Seol-hee with serious eyes.

 

And Lee Min-young felt a tickling sensation in her chest and looked at Jin Yu-ha’s back with her envious eyes.

 

Even if the whole world rushes in

 

He didn’t care and stood firm like a giant tree.

 

Lee Yu-ri’s beliefs.

 

Without expecting favor from anyone.

 

Stepping alone into the abyss

 

Jin Yuha’s will.

 

Everything felt so brilliant.

 

‘I, too, want to join the Utopia party.’

 

Lee Min-young could not help but think to herself.

 

*

 

A sword dance performed by the teacher and disciple as one.

 

Under the brilliant moonlight, two swords sway like flowers.

 

The sword on one side was dynamic.

 

From noble mtl dot com

 

The sword on the other side was static.

 

Let’s cut through the air with the blades reflecting the moonlight dancing together.

 

The two swords were beginning to resemble each other.

 

The heated sword gradually became sharp and sublimated to sharpness.

 

The sword, which had been as cold as snow, gradually became lively.

 

All the scenes came together like a beautiful painting.
