63 – Someone who is precious in a shabby place – 3

The underwater mana training center was literally a space where you could train your magic underwater.

The mana decompression device injects mana into the water, and uses it to create stronger water pressure and currents, creating friction and resistance.

It was a terrible training that put you in a state of super-death in just 30 minutes, and once you entered it, you couldn’t get out easily because of the water pressure and rough current, so you could push your body to the limit.

If you don’t want to die, it’s a somewhat ignorant yet one-dimensional exercise that requires you to overcome your limits.

Therefore, the effect was strong, and no matter how dangerous it was, since it was a Hunter gym where medical staff was legally obliged, there was not a single article about death.

It is a challenge (?) for any hunter with a ‘desire’ for growth.

I, too, cannot lose to anyone when it comes to aspirations, so I was in a wide and deep swimming pool with Hannah.

For an eventful hunter, a breathing device is just a luxury.

Without any equipment, he was currently swimming submerged in the water.

and after a while

– Ugh, ugh.

With the sound of the decompression device turning, a strong current begins and the water pressure builds up.

The current, which would have been swept away by an ordinary person, hits the whole body and creates huge friction and resistance.

However, if this was the end, it would have been nothing more than just endurance training.

Hannah had no reason to come all the way here.

The real start is now.

-Quoo!

When the current lasted for about 10 seconds, a monster made of holograms could be heard roaring.

In a situation where the whole body is crushed and the hands and feet are very strong, the key is to avoid the attack of the hologram monster.

All results are analyzed by an underwater camera installed on the inner wall of the pool, which analyzes the number of hits and the overall condition of the trainee.

After a while.

-Quoo!

Along with the roaring sound that cut through the strong flow, I had to avoid the monsters attacking from all sides with all my might.

with Hannah.

##

“Hee-eok, hee-eok, hee-eok.”

“Ha ha, ha, ha… .”

In the training ground where the sound of the water has disappeared, the sound of two breathing echoes.

It’s something I feel every time, but it’s the strength of my training to the point where I feel like it’s okay not to vomit.

Of course, I did a bit of nonsense.

As soon as Hannah came out of the pool, she was on her knees, gasping for breath.

It even feels like being alive from hell.

As much as that, underwater mana training is a training that even established hunters avoid without much will or passion.

We calmed down for a while without saying a word, received a towel each from the gym manager, went into the shower room, and washed up.

This is why underwater mana training is done at the very end.

As soon as I washed up and came out, I felt like my day’s workout was over.

It’s the same with an exhausted body or a knocked-down mind.

“ha… . It was really hard today.”

However, Hannah’s condition did not look very good.

Let alone the haggard expression, it seemed quite dangerous to take one step at a time with wobbly legs while leaning against the wall.

“Hannah, are you okay? That’s too much.”

“Nope. it’s okay.”

… That’s why my face is pale.

That’s why, even though I was asked to do it separately, I was stubborn, and it seems that I have reached my limit.

I lowered the intensity of the mana decompression device a bit to match Hannah, but it was too much for me to follow.

‘So I decided to do it separately… .’

Anyway, I couldn’t help but worry about Hannah, who was shaking her legs like a newborn calf in the aftermath.

It would be shocking to be able to look melted just standing there.

Feeling sorry that he should have lowered the intensity more, he approached Hannah.

“that… Shall I help you?”

“What? No, that’s okay.”

“Can you walk?”

“This is nothing at this point.”

But Hannah stubbornly refused.

Well, I didn’t want to forcefully do favors for those who didn’t like it, so I tried to open the training room door by passing Hanna.

– Iron puck!

The sound of a fall came from behind.

It was Hannah’s voice.

He quickly approached her and supported her.

“it’s okay?”

“ah… . Mi, it’s just because it slipped. You don’t have to support me.”

As if there was a phone call in vibration mode, I felt vibrations all over my body, but what kind of sound.

In any case, it seems that pride takes precedence over shame.

However, I didn’t release the support because I thought I would feel guilty if I left it like this.

Although Hannah was stubborn, the intensity was set by me anyway.

“done. I will only support you outside.”

“… Even if it is okay.”

Hannah tried to remove the armpit from the back of my neck, but it was too much to untie my arm with her swaying hand.

Rather, I hugged her side tightly to keep from falling along with her.

Five…

cut it down terribly

“Huh… . Hey, let go of this…!”

“I’m having a hard time too, so stay still.”

A strange sound leaked out of Hannah’s mouth, but my muscles were also on strike, so I hurriedly left the training ground with Hannah and I in close contact.

Then, he threw Hannah onto the bench next to him and sat him down.

“So, are you being stubborn for nothing?”

“I was just surprised because it was my first robbery 6. I’ve done it a few times up to 5.”

“Was it like this then?”

“no it’s not… !”

Hannah is furious at the playful mockery.

The training was so intense that the color lenses fell out and the pupils returned to their original blue color.

Fisik, I wondered if he knew that, so I laughed.

“Why, why are you laughing?”

“Nope. I’m taking a break. At least some water will come up.”

“done. I can do that much alone.”

“A kid who can’t even walk properly? That’s fine.”

I left Hannah, who was unable to get up from her seat, just shaking her hips, and went straight ahead.

And when he brought water and handed over the cup.

I had to wonder if my ear canal was filled with water.

“… thank you.”

To the thank you from Hannah, the villainous young lady who never appeared even in the original work.

It’s something to see (?) after living a long time, I heard all the thanks from Hannah.

##

‘… annoying.’

Hanna looked at Taejin’s back as he headed to the water purifier to get me some water.

and spit it out inwardly.

that it’s annoying

It wasn’t something he said to Taejin.

It was self-blame.

To myself who showed an ugly, pitiful appearance.

It was true that I was stubborn like Taejin said.

It was obvious stubbornness to commit to level 6 underwater training in order to create useless or overlapping time.

Because I know that this training is the last, I know that if I had trained separately, Taejin would leave the gym without being able to talk to me one more time.

it was stubborn

The results were disastrous.

As the daughter of the great hunter guild [Raonjena], she had never shown an ugly side to anyone.

But just now, unable to support his staggering legs, he collapsed miserably on the floor.

There was no other reason.

Literally, the training was really tough.

I thought I was really dying.

I wanted to give up when training had about two minutes left.

However, he did not want to show such a face in front of his classmate Han Tae-jin, and the stubborn support eventually revealed its ugliness at the end.

‘… .’

Hannah caressed my side.

It feels like Taejin’s grip is still holding the skin.

It’s the first time in my life.

Allowing someone to have my skin so helplessly.

Especially since I was wearing a sports bra, Taejin’s bare hands grabbed my bare skin.

The sensation was strangely thrilling, and it made a strange sound.

Shamefully.

‘annoying… . what the hell… .’

The hand of an outsider who is renting for the first time.

Those rough yet strong hands leave a deep aftertaste on his side.

And, for the first time, I felt “powerless”.

I was ashamed of being supported and tried to shake it off, but I couldn’t.

If Taejin let go of his hand at that time, he would have collapsed even more awkwardly.

No, I didn’t have the strength to resist in the first place.

It was a strange feeling.

It was such a strange sight that even if I tried to repeat it, I couldn’t repeat it.

And it was like a pretty fresh shock.

again and

It felt pretty stable.

The feeling of being supported in the arms of a classmate, who had never been pampered under a strict father, made him feel a sense of security he had never felt in his life.

It was strange.

It was strange.

He considered himself a person who disliked being pampered.

It’s like the feeling of being rejected for something you can’t do.

She was the one who had lived her whole life, believing that what she could do was the best and what she couldn’t do was the worst.

Of course, the things I couldn’t do were things like [weakness] and [indulge].

However, at this moment when I realized that it was not ‘what I couldn’t do’, but ‘what I couldn’t do’, I had to be engulfed in confused thoughts.

It feels like a little girl named Hannah, who was hidden deep inside because of her father’s strict education, went there for a while.

Not the only daughter of a strict hunter noble family, but an ordinary girl.

Maybe that’s why I was thirsty for more attention.

Hannah, who suddenly thought of that, lowered her eyes with a sorrowful expression for some reason.

No, that would be too far-fetched.

It’s just that it’s the first time I’ve felt the feeling of leaning on someone, so I just felt useless and useless.

She is a child of a prestigious hunter family that everyone admires.

To himself, who must prioritize reason over instinct under any circumstances, this sentiment is useless.

Well… it’s not once or twice that instinct has taken the lead.

Anyway, I withdrew the hand that was stroking my side.

“here. Drink some water.”

I accepted the cup from Taejin, who had approached me before I knew it.

It was warm water.

“I mixed a little hot water. If you suddenly drink cold water, you might feel sick.”

“ah… .”

Feeling it again, it was definitely lukewarm hot water.

But strangely, the warm temperature seems to be the same.

Hanna, who was looking down at it, raised her head and said to Taejin.

“… thank you.”

It was an awkward greeting indeed.

Meanwhile, Hye-seo was watching the CCTV footage at that time.

In the video, someone wearing a mask was hunting the villain.

He was the one I’ve been most obsessed with lately.

Also, he was a guy who seemed to know why and who he was.

‘Hmm…’

Then, a text message popped up on her phone.

[ 7.12 PM 8:20 Seoul National Hunter Academy Raid ]

It was a message from Han Chang-ho, who was my senior and became a spy for Illusion.

As if waiting, Hye-seo wrote a reply.

Because I couldn’t get in touch with the number that changes every time I contact you. The number of letters now would also disappear after a while.

However.

[Senior, the son you hid…]

I couldn’t bear to send the texts written up to and had to delete them.

If there was a raid on the Seoul National Academy, where cadet Han Tae-jin was attending, he would have known without asking.
