03. Guild Fair (12)

This morning.

Yoon Seo-hee received a message from Kim Yi-jin slowly and fell into a panic.

[Seo Hee. Would you like to go to the guild fair today? I’ll go first and wait.]

Hug your smartphone and calm your beating heart for a while.

But no matter how much she tried to stay calm, the pink delusions continued to run through her head.

‘Is this a date?’

Excited feelings well up from the unexpected aggressive approach.

No, since it’s Kim Yi-jin, it doesn’t mean much, but still? It’s not a bad idea to be prepared for what might happen.

Yoon Seo-hee, who was planning to spend her last day of vacation in her house, hurriedly ran to her closet.

‘What are you wearing? What does Lee Jin-yi like?’

A loose-fitting casual wear that matches your usual image? Or a slightly feminine dress? Oh, or it’s summer, so I slightly increased the exposure and something like a crop top….

Standing in front of her mirror, expecting Lee Jin-yi’s reaction, Yoon Seo-hee finally realized her own condition and let out a scream at her.

“Kyaaa!!”

Crunchy hair! A bare face without makeup! Why haven’t I washed up until now!

She hastily throws off her clothes and runs into the shower.

Even if she tries to wash lightly, she fears that her body will smell strange, so she naturally takes care of herself.

After her shower, brush her blow-dry hair and curl it with a straightener.

‘Makeup… Well. Naturally, as if it hadn’t been done….’

She didn’t want to show that she cared too much. By the time she finished there, two hours had passed since she received a text message from Kim Yi-jin.

“Oops! Has it already been this time?”

She hasn’t even decided what to wear for her yet! She couldn’t help but wear tight jeans as usual, and chose a white blouse as her top.

It seemed like she didn’t pay attention to her, but Seohee Yoon’s line was so outstanding that the curves stood out.

By the time she put on heels and ran out the front door of her house, she was well past her noon.

She hurriedly got on the subway, but her ordeal had just begun.

[This is a notice to passengers. The route to Shinseoul Station has been suspended, so please wait for a while and we will normalize operation soon. Thank you.]

Without prior guidance, traffic control stopped all subways and buses passing through Shinseoul Station.

“Are you kidding me?”

Even if you nervously wait for the subway, it’s still dark news.

Yoon Seo-hee, who looked at the time on her smartphone screen once a minute, eventually made her decision.

To jump on her own two feet.

About 1 hour by subway from Seohee Yoon’s studio to Samseong Station. Assuming she runs in a straight line, the straight line distance is about 30 km inside.

She wrapped her magic all over her body and ran in a straight line toward Samseong Station. She climbed over the roofs and rooftops of buildings to avoid bumping into civilians as much as possible.

It was a skill that could only be performed by an Awakened person with an agility rank that reached an A+ rank.

“Ha ha ha… Also, it has arrived.”

Her head was all messed up because she ran so fast, but more than that, making Kim Yi-jin wait so long was what bothered her the most.

She took out her smart phone and hurriedly called Kim Yi-jin, but only heard her announcement that she was out of the area and couldn’t be reached.

[Currently, the other party is in a location where radio waves cannot be transmitted….]

What are you talking about outside the circle in Shinseoul? In an incomprehensible situation, her spine suddenly felt chills.

Forgetting to straighten her hair, she rushed to the entrance of the exhibition hall because of her instinctive anxiety.

The entrance to the plaza was a crucible of confusion.

“Get out of here, you bastards!!”

As the tall man wields a greatsword as tall as he is, people are swept away by the storm of intense swordsmanship.

“Aagh!”

“What, what power… I can’t get close to you!”

Armed with knives and spears, melee hunters struggle to get up. Next to him, a magic hunter aims his staff and uses all his might to raise his magic power.

“Leave it to me! Flame Storm!”

Quang! A huge storm of flames erupts from the tip of the staff and hits the entrance of the exhibition hall.

A man in armor who was properly caught up in a flame storm, a fire type magic of upper middle class. Dark smoke billows out from the flame-engulfed entrance, obscuring the view.

Perhaps they were burned to death without being able to resist with the magic just now, but there was still silence.

“Ha! If you can’t reach it, just use magic!”

“Oh! Did you do it?”

At that moment, a blue sword flew towards the wizard, cutting through the dark smoke.

“Huh?”

Boo-wook! A magical hunter who falls to the floor spilling blood and internal organs as soon as his body splits in half.

The complexions of the hunters around them who witnessed the brutal scene turned dark.

“Monster, monster….”

“Run away! We can’t compete with our skills!”

All the hunters who didn’t get caught up in the barrier because they were outside the exhibition hall, or who escaped because they knew how to use transference, all ran away in a panic.

Namgoong-min, the man in armor who swung his greatsword wide and drove the smoke out, snorted loudly.

He was fully armed with a silver helmet and armor, and even though he was caught in the flames, his armor did not appear to be scorched.

“Huh. Foolish bastards.”

Namgung-min crossed his arms and pretended to be relaxed, but he was actually extremely nervous.

‘Damn it… Maybe it’s because it’s a half ritual, but the strength of the barrier has weakened, right? The magical power felt from the inside is smaller than expected… According to plan, the S-class gate should have opened.’

I want to check what’s going on inside, but I don’t know if I’m a devil worshiper who sold my soul to the devil, but if I go inside, I’ll be attacked by monsters.

I have to somehow take advantage of the confusion to check the location of the black jade, but if the barrier is broken then everything is all in vain.

Since the barrier is the key to maintaining the gate, the gate disappears when the barrier is broken.

The original plan was to raid the exhibition hall, complete the black jade, and bring the completed black jade to the demon worshipers entering the barrier.

If even one devil worshiper was alive, he would have sent him in to find the black jade, regardless of whether there were monsters or not, but Cha Soo-hyeok subdued them all and Ryu Jae-hyeon used the surviving Seong Min-soo as a sacrifice.

‘Fuck, what should I do with this?’

If you don’t bring the jet, that crazy psychopath will definitely cut your throat. No matter how nervously he chewed his lips, there was no way he could come up with an answer.

A moment when you’re just frustrated and trying to find something to vent your anger on.

“Hmm?”

He saw a girl walking straight ahead.

‘Ohh….’

Namgoong-Min is famous for revealing women as much as his quick-tempered nature, and even by his standard, the woman who was approaching him was a striking beauty.

Especially, the body was amazing. Even though he has a young-looking face like a student, he is tall and his body curves with clear lines feel unbalanced. If it wasn’t for this situation, I’d definitely try kidnapping.

Yoon Seo-hee frowned at her beautiful brow at the naked gaze that scanned her body up and down.

“What are you looking at, you madman?”

“Huh?”

Look at this bitch? Cheeky teasing your tongue.

‘You dare to know who I am.’

Namgoong-Min laughed out loud, but Yoon Seo-Hee stared at the entrance of the exhibition hall that he had blocked.

“Hey, can you get out of the way? If a pig is blocking the road, you can’t get in.”

“… Heh, heh heh. Heh heh heh.”

A pig? Did you call me a pig now?

Namgoong Min’s reason was half blown away. Only the thought of pulling out that cheeky tongue and making it crawl on the floor to tell me about my subject boiled deep in my heart.

He drew his greatsword off the floor, holding it tight with both hands and preparing himself.

“You cheeky bitch… You’ll have to get beaten up to come to your senses.”

A blue aura swayed from Namgoong Min’s greatsword. Aura is the most powerful seasonal skill that can be used even among A-class people. It can be said to be the first step towards S-class.

Able to use Aura meant that Namgoong-min was a top-notch talent even in Class A.

Recognizing that, Yoon Seo-hee’s face became serious.

‘This is what happens when there are no golden eggs.’

After I broke the sword, I haven’t received a new one since I entrusted it to Kim Yi-jin. In a hurry, I grabbed a thin iron pipe that had been attached to a support and was rolling on the floor.

Aura cannot be used. It can only be used when holding a golden egg. Of course, you can’t use a season like Baekroe.

But I had to do it. What if Kim Yi-jin was in there?

When Yoon Seo-hee thought that way, she couldn’t possibly run away from this place.

“You are the one who deserves to be beaten!”

Yoon Seo-hee grabs a steel pipe and rushes like a darting arrow. She narrowly dodged the swinging of her greatsword and inserted the iron pipe precisely into the gap between her helmet and armor.

‘Skill― 「Current Manipulation」!’

Pajijijijik! When using the unique skill, electric current rises thrillingly through her hand to the iron pipe.

The opponent wore thick armor. I thought that if I applied the current at full output, it would somehow give me an effective hit.

“Hey!”

Namgoong-min lifted her foot and kicked Yoon Seo-hee in the abdomen with her free expression as if she had not suffered any blows.

“Kyaaak!”

Fuck! Hit by her powerful blow, her boom flew off and rolled her across the ground.

The clothes she was wearing at best were covered in dust and stuck to them black.

Yoon Seo-hee raised her body staggering as she hugged her abdomen, looking at her opponent’s armor.

‘That armor….’

Not only did I nullify the magic earlier, but even the skills don’t work properly. If it’s an elemental attack, is it mostly a device that lets go?

Even though her only means were blocked, her eyes did not lose her fighting spirit.

In that case. In the end, there is only one way to defeat him with pure physical force.

‘If I beat it, it will collapse someday!’

Yoon Seo-hee grabbed her metal pipe with all her might and raised her mana to the fullest. I pounded her armor hard enough to transmit her shock to the inside.

“Haap!”

Yoon Seo-hee leaps at Namgoong-min while holding a steel pipe that has become sufficiently hard.

Towards her, her Namgoong-min swung her own greatsword wide.

“Hey!”

The steel pipe colliding with her greatsword wrapped around her aura was easily cut off.

“Oh, Mr. Seriously!”

Yoon Seo-hee manages to dodge her greatsword by throwing an iron pipe that has been cut in half on the floor. Some of her hair gets caught in its tracks and her best curls are cut off.

Rolling on the floor, I spread the distance again and took a slow breath.

A lot of weapons couldn’t handle the aura, and even a few hits didn’t work on that armor.

I couldn’t see a way other than avoiding all the attacks from the other side and hitting one-sidedly by myself to accumulate damage.

And it was a level of difficulty that made me think that in order to succeed in such acrobatics against the top level A, it would have to be S level.

‘I don’t have an answer… What do we do?’

Even if there were only golden eggs.

Yoon Seo-hee tried hard to suppress her frustration, which seemed to be about to break, and once again strengthened her fighting spirit.

Her hair, her clothes, and her make-up, all of which she had set up to show him, were all ruined.

Even the exhibition hall was a mess.

“Because of you… You ruined the whole date today!”

The moment she gathered her strength to contain her anger and jump into her power.

Flash! Mana is concentrated in the air, and a white girl flutters down with a halo of light.

“Yoon Seo-hee!”

It was a face she knew well.

“Take it!”

Her blank jisu put her hand in her child’s space, took out a sword and threw it at her.

Yoon Seo-hee catches the flying sword in a round and round circle.

Good! She smiled brightly as if she had waited for the familiar grip in her hand.

Kwarreung!! Her thunderbolt struck and golden lightning wrapped around Yoon Seo-hee’s body.
