‘Two people were added to the Utopia party?’

 

First of all, Sophia.

 

‘This child is the healer Jin Yuha was waiting for…’

 

Yuri Lee scanned Sophia as she lay on the floor.

 

She was a girl with an unusual appearance.

 

Her flowing blonde hair, which had grown down to her waist, was shiny as if it had been coated with honey.

 

She was currently wearing shabby training clothes because she was taking an exam, but her explosive body that even that couldn’t hide stood out.

 

Yuri Lee felt slightly uncomfortable and bit her lip.

 

‘······Why, why! Are only kids like this coming to Utopia!?

 

Honestly, isn’t it okay to be a little ugly?

 

She was already a group with a high average value for appearance.

 

Jin Yu-ha, the party leader, is beautiful. There was nothing else to say now,

 

Shin Se-hee has a cute and elegant appearance.

 

Kang Do-hee has a wild yet solid charm.

 

To be honest, Lim Ga-eul has such a big heart that I think it might be foul play.

 

However, even the new healer had an appearance that was far from ordinary.

 

Yuri Lee stared at Sophia and opened her mouth.

 

“Hey, Sophia?”

 

“Yes…? hehehe!? Gukbap!?”

 

Sophia responded with a surprised look on her face, as if she didn’t know she would suddenly talk to her.

 

“······Kukt─. Huh! Well, that’s okay. By the way, how did she end up in the party? If she had taken the mid-term evaluation, she would have been a first-year cadet, and someone with this appearance would definitely have been famous within the academy…”

 

She had never heard of her.

 

Actually, this was something she could have asked later when Jin Yu-ha woke up, but she wanted to hear it directly from her own mouth, so Lee Yu-ri asked the question.

 

“Well, I was accepted to the academy, but I never went to class.”

 

“······Yes?”

 

“Ah, that’s how it happened…”

 

Yuri Lee was shocked by Sophia’s explanation that she heard next and burst out laughing.

 

“······So, while you were working as a model, you were suddenly kidnapped by a mid-term evaluation without saying anything?”

 

“······Yes.”

 

“Thank you for your hard work… “She’s never been trained as a hunter, and she’s into monsters and mines.”

 

Then, suddenly, Yu-ri Lee tilted her head.

 

“Then, after the exam, shouldn’t you return to the modeling world?”

 

“Well, that’s—.”

 

“That story is already over.”

 

Shin Se-hee intervened from the side.

 

“Sophia is a famous model. However, as a healer she… She hmm, she doesn’t dare to cut. “I wonder if she is the type of talent that Jin Yu-ha has his eye on.”

 

Shin Se-hee was one of the people who was most amazed by Sophia’s abilities over the past few days.

 

Being able to heal her by firing an arrow from a distance, no other healer she knew had shown such an outstanding performance.

 

In addition, Shin Se-hee personally witnessed the wide-range heal launched by Sophia, “Rain of Healing.”

 

“Ahh! Well, not to that extent—.”

 

“An ordinary person who has never been trained as a hunter showed overwhelming abilities over all the healers here after only one week of training. Do you know what we call such a person?”

 

“Well, I’m not sure?”

 

“They call me ‘genius.’ Mr. Sophia. “Is it rude to be too humble?”

 

“aaah…”

 

“But in the end, isn’t one’s own will important? “No matter how great your ability is, forcing yourself into something you don’t want to do…”

 

This time, Yu-ri Lee intervened in their conversation.

 

“Wow, you’ve already checked that part, right? Sophia, do you want to be a hunter?”

 

“Yes, I thought about that a little this time…”

 

“And you said you weren’t interested in the hunter world, but in reality, you weren’t at all interested. “Sophia, please recite Yuri Lee’s profile.”

 

“Yes? Yes?”

 

As Shin Se-hee gazed at him, Sophia made an embarrassed expression and then closed her eyes tightly and answered.

 

“Height: 163cm, he stood out in the Forest of Carmella, was a tank using a shield and cross shield, and was conquering 9 dungeons in addition to Thorn Meadow… His nickname is soup, his skill is the sound of the shield, and the shield of sacrifice… Unrivaled in attracting the enemy’s attention─.”

 

Information about Yuri Lee flowing out one by one.

 

Yuri Lee widened her eyes as if she was surprised.

 

“Stop. Look at this. The most important thing to become a hunter is information. “For even the little-known person among us, Yu-ri Lee, to know this much in detail is something that cannot be accomplished with even a little passion.”

 

Shin Se-hee noticed that Yu-ri Lee wanted to know about Sophia and just gave her a slight push on the back.

 

And Shin Se-hee seriously thought that Sophia had been preparing for the hunter world.

 

Actually, I just dug deep into the Utopia Party through long-term study.

 

“······Uh, um. Hello, welcome. Cow, Sophia?”

 

And it worked effectively for Yuri Lee as well.

 

I can’t believe he knows so much about himself, not even Chun-hwa, Fighting Dog, or Jin Yu-ha, who are always featured in the media!

 

Yuri thought, feeling a little overwhelmed.

 

‘There was something that prevented me from coming to the academy even though I was accepted. And Jin Yu-ha broke it.’

 

Hmm. Hmm.

 

With his information skills as a former Black Hunter, it would have been that easy.

 

Yuri Lee, convinced by the new party member, then looked at the orange-haired cadet.

 

A child who is a little crazy, but strangely follows him.

 

Lee Min-young.

 

She doesn’t have much attack ability, but the reason she was able to earn so much coin was all thanks to her.

 

She didn’t even form a party with Yu-ri Lee, but Lee Min-young incited her other cadets to pay her back for saving her by catching a small monster just before her death and paying them a tax of sorts.

 

Because of this, Lee Yu-ri was able to accumulate a significant amount of coins even though she was not at the level of Kang Do-hee or Shin Se-hee.

 

I had a certain crush on him, but I still wondered why he was there? I can’t erase this thought.

 

‘······What you are doing is shady, and it would be perfect to hang out with Shin Se-hee, but Jin Yu-ha doesn’t usually accept anyone to the party, right?’

 

Sophia is the healer Jin Yu-ha has been looking for for a long time, so even so, she was a bit unexpected.

 

Let’s look at Lee Min-young with that meaning in mind.

 

“Well, that is…”

 

* * *

 

The night when Baek Seol-hee and Jin Yu-ha swept their swords in unison and eliminated all the demons.

 

Lee Min-young developed a deep admiration for the utopia party.

 

And then, at dawn, everyone went to their dorms to sleep, exhausted from a long day.

 

Crash─

 

Crash─

 

She sat down in front of her campfire, hugging her knees.

 

“······I want to go to the utopia party. But, it must be difficult, right?”

 

As I hit the ball and remembered every single thing that happened today, the longing became even stronger.

 

Lee Yuri······.

 

Jin Yu-ha······.

 

Kang Do-hee······.

 

Shin Se-hee······.

 

No matter how you look at it, aren’t they people living in a world that is far from their own?

 

Imagining myself caught in the middle of it all, it couldn’t have been such an awkward picture.

 

“Che, should I give up after all?”

 

“Hmm?”

 

It was then that an unfamiliar voice came from behind.

 

Lee Min-young turned her head and couldn’t help but be startled.

 

“Poetry, Shin Se-hee!?”

 

“What did you just say?”

 

“······Uh, uh, that’s a sin, I’m sorry!!!”

 

Lee Min-young hurriedly lowered her head and apologized to Shin Se-hee.

 

Because I got caught talking carelessly about the Utopia Party.

 

Of course, I was just talking to myself, but it was different if the target was Shin Se-hee.

 

Because she was heavenly!

 

In response, Shin Se-hee shook her hands off as if the words were useless.

 

“No, I didn’t mean to receive an apology. “From what I heard just now, you said that you wanted to join our party. Is that correct?”

 

“······Yes, yes.”

 

Lee Min-young bowed her head in shame as her inner thoughts were revealed and nodded.

 

Shin Se-hee looked at her like that.

 

‘Lee Min-young.’

 

He is a famous cadet in his own way.

 

Unlike the Utopia Party, where each cadet becomes famous and is slightly different from other cadets,

 

What can I say? Does it feel like a representative example of regular cadets?

 

When she synthesizes the information she personally gathered and the story she heard from Jin Yu-ha,…

 

Although he has some abilities, he is a stubborn person with a tendency to be unnecessarily fair and obsessed with his belief in ‘justice.’

 

‘Hmmm······.’

 

Shin Se-hee had many personal feelings while taking this mid-term evaluation.

 

Jin Yuha entrusted the task to her, but she was unable to carry it out perfectly.

 

He was successful in inciting the cadets to join forces against the external enemy called Majin, but as a result, he put Yuri Lee in danger.

 

You may be able to use the excuse that there was not enough time, but the result does not change.

 

‘Clearly, among the characteristics Lee Min-young had, there was one called ‘resonance.”

 

She convinces others of her thoughts and gives persuasiveness to her voice.

 

If she had that ability, she would have been able to handle the job perfectly.

 

Especially from the perspective of Shin Se-hee, who mainly engages in information warfare and psychological warfare, it was a highly desirable ability.

 

‘A little while ago, it was this woman who changed the mood of the cadets and changed their fear of Jin Yu-ha into liking them.’

 

It was originally something she should have done herself.

 

Making sure that the image of Jin Yu-ha, who shed his life and exterminated demons, is not too bad.

 

Shin Se-hee planned to slowly unravel the rigid image by making up and inflating the story behind the scenes.

 

However, with Lee Min-young’s words, her cadets expressed their affection and gratitude toward Jin Yu-ha and conveyed her apology.

 

‘No matter how you look at it, it’s an ability perfectly optimized for instigation. After all, I have a personality that is obsessed with things like justice… So, under Lee Yu-ri… Huh? Wait, is this really…?’

 

While Shin Se-hee was looking at Lee Min-young slyly, a thought occurred to her and she asked her.

 

“I’m thinking of asking a few questions right now, but is it okay? Lee Min-young?”

 

“······Yes? Yes “Well, you can ask me anything!”

 

“By any chance, is it true that the work of Lee Yu-ri’s camp in this mid-term evaluation was all accomplished by Lee Yu-ri?”

 

Then, for an instant, Lee Min-young’s pupils dilated. And soon, her expression changed calmly.

 

“Yes, that’s right. “It was all done by Yuri Lee.”

 

‘Oh my…? ‘Look at him?’

 

Shin Se-hee’s innate sense of wonder did not miss the slight change in facial expression just moments ago.

 

And I could be sure.

 

Lee Yu-ri’s camp’s instigation that gave it that fun. That it was all planned by this woman.

 

The look of interest deepened in Shin Se-hee’s eyes.

 

‘Well, Lee Yu-ri can’t design a board like that. Because that’s not Lee Yu-ri’s way.’

 

That gave Shin Se-hee a surprise,

 

That genius was Lee Min-young!

 

However, if there is something a little strange, it is that the information she knew and the feeling given by this cadet named Lee Min-young were quite different.

 

First, Shin Se-hee nodded her head.

 

“Yes, I see. Well, this is the second question. “What do you think about using dirty tricks to achieve your goals?”

 

She asked directly.

 

Then. Lee Min-young closed her mouth as if she was thinking deeply about something, but then she made serious eye contact with Shin Se-hee.

 

“······At one time, I thought that when achieving a goal, the method had to be done correctly.”

 

“Once upon a time? “Then what now?”

 

“Not now.”

 

“Why? “Values are not something that can be changed that easily…”

 

“Hmm, actually, since I was treated by Jin Yuha before, some things have changed… That completely changed when I saw Shin Se-hee today.”

 

Lee Min-young stared at Shin Se-hee.

 

“Shin Se-hee deceived us all today.”

 

“Hoo?”

 

“While we were fighting among ourselves, Shin Se-hee united us with a lie that there was a separate true enemy. And he added to his persuasiveness by giving up her own coin.”

 

“Hmm… So?”

 

“If it were me before, I would have said that that method was wrong. “At least from the beginning, we need to convince the cadets that Mine has appeared and sincerely ask for their cooperation.”

 

Shin Se-hee bobbed her head as if asking her to say more.

 

“However, if that had been the case, some cadets would have gotten scared and scattered, and some cadets would not have been able to display their skills due to the tension. Also, they would attack each other, and even if they were at a slight disadvantage, they would be summoned to the flying boat to save their lives. “After all, some of the cadets would have met a bad end by now.”

 

Good.

 

Shin Se-hee really started to like this woman.

 

However, one question still remained.

 

“Why couldn’t we just attack each other and all escape in flying boats? In fact, if all the cadets had escaped in a flying boat, all they could do was look up like a dog chasing a chicken.”

 

“······First of all, I can’t be sure that all the cadets will believe that. And······. Because we are hunters. “It’s not a hunter who turns his back on the Mine and runs away saying he’s scared!”

 

Lee Min-young spoke with unwavering, unwavering eyes and voice.

 

Ha.

 

Shin Se-hee let out a laugh.

 

Actually, the last reason is wrong.

 

From noble mtl dot com

 

It is for a very simple reason: ‘Because Jin Yu-ha gave that order.’

 

Jin Yu-ha just said that the demons must be caught here, and Shin Se-hee just followed him.

 

However, it was a question she could not give the correct answer to as Lee Min-young did not know that.

 

Shin Se-hee wanted to hear the answer to what Lee Min-young thought.

 

‘This person is really fun?’

 

The ultimate goal is justice.

 

But the means to that end are not just.

 

What would it be like if someone like this had your back?

 

‘······With the addition of healers, the work has increased even more.’

 

This is a utopia party that will become even more famous starting from this mid-term evaluation.

 

At such a time, if a cadet who is supported by the majority of cadets and has the ability to agitate supports the party…

 

No matter how active you are in the shadows, there is a limit.

 

In the end, even in sunny areas, there must be an agitator to spread various words.

 

Until now, Shin Se-hee has been performing the role while wearing a mask, but

 

Considering that the Utopia Party would become even more famous, there would soon be a shortage of even ten bodies.

 

‘Hmm, but I don’t know if Jin Yu-ha will accept it.’

 

Such a deep dawn.

 

Shin Se-hee left Lee Min-young behind and went to visit Jin Yu-ha.

 

“Jin Yu-ha, could you please appoint cadet Lee Min-young as my direct intern?”

 

“······What? “Lee Min-young?”

 

Perhaps because those words were sudden, Jin Yuha made a surprised face, but

 

She soon touched her lips as if she was seriously contemplating.

 

And Jin Yuha readily nodded her head.

 

“Yes, do that.”

 

It was Shin Se-hee who was rather taken aback by that refreshing positivity.

 

“······Yes? “Aren’t you going to ask any more questions?”

 

“You thought you needed it, right?”

 

“······Uh, yes. Well, that’s true…”

 

“And, not as a combatant, but as someone needed to do your job.”

 

“Yes…”

 

“But, I think I need to think a little more about accepting that guy as my person. “Party means something special to me.”

 

“Ah…”

 

He is truly a person who leaves you speechless.

 

Contrary to her thought that it would take a considerable amount of time to bring Lee Min-young into the party, Jin Yu-ha allowed it very easily.

 

For the only reason that she believes in herself.

 

Of course, he said he would think a little bit about accepting Lee Min-young as his own, but

 

Shin Se-hee knew better than anyone else how big of a decision this decision was for him.

 

When I was looking at Jin Yuha blankly like that.

 

Jin Yuha smiled.

 

“Shin Se-hee, I said I would leave that entirely up to you. So, my answer this time is OK.”

 

“······.”

 

“I’m going to go see more soup and rice. “Please sort that out yourself.”

 

Shin Se-hee could only stare blankly at the back of Jin Yu-ha entering Lee Yu-ri’s room.

 

Excited.

 

Excited.

 

With a bandaged hand placed on his chest.
