34 – Misunderstood as a vicious villain 34

“I’m going to the first floor?”

“doesn’t care.”

“Ah, I’m sorry. You must be on a fairly high floor. I am not taking the bus.”

“If you go up to a higher floor later, it’s okay because I’ll be taking the bus.”

“No, I will only use real magic.”

“It doesn’t matter. I was thinking of going up again from the first floor.”

“… … .”

Force yourself to make it impossible to escape.

Should I say that he gives off the feeling that he will become a bad guy if he refuses this?

For Sehyun, there was no doubt.

‘No, why the hell are you with me? Didn’t he hate me?’

To think that there will be a woman who clings to you again.

At this point, I can only think of the main character correction.

‘Thinking of oneself as the main character is overly self-conscious, but… … But that’s the only thing here.’

Even if you try to joke with yourself inside, the situation will not change.

In any case, Sehyun had to answer.

‘I’ll just have a party or two, and if I don’t want to, I’ll go out on my own. He said he would lose something… … .’

I nodded my head at that thought.

“Well then. Honestly, I don’t understand why you would want to party with me even at a loss… … .”

Arin laughs slyly at the added words.

“It’s just because I want to deepen my friendship while clearing up misunderstandings. Shall we start right away? The first floor should be enough for the two of us.”

The moment when a wacky two-person party is about to form.

“there… … .”

Someone else showed interest in this direction.

A familiar face to Sehyun.

“I am Chae Eun-seo in the first year. Can I be a part of that party too?”

It was Chae Eun-seo, the dog of the Chae-seon family with an assassin class.

‘No, why is he again… … .’

The moment Sehyun thought so, Arin Seo and Eunseo Chae cautiously exchanged glances.

With that, Seo Arin was able to realize immediately.

Chae Eun-seo also approached Yoon Se-hyeon for a special purpose.

[It’s better to keep monitoring. Get as close to him as possible and watch what he’s doing and report back. ]

[ Yes… … Okay. ]

Chae Eun-seo didn’t want to be involved with Yoon Se-hyeon anymore, but she couldn’t help it because she couldn’t live without being loyal to her family.

The two looked at each other and nodded quietly.

I don’t know what each other’s purpose is, but since it’s like this, let’s cooperate.

‘Is it because you like me? This is very difficult.’

While I was under the illusion that I would not even become Sehyun, Seo Ah-rin led the mood.

“That’s great. Just in time, I needed a quick-moving scout. Then shall we go to a party of three like this?”

“I’m glad you accepted.”

“Hey guys? My opinion is… … .”

“I remember that Chae Eun-seo is a B rank, right? It’s a waste to go to the first floor with this member. Let’s do it on the ninth floor.”

“uh? My magic won’t work there, right?”

“That is something you have to do to know. Let’s go!”

“… … .”

In an instant, it became a party of three, and it was Sehyeon who was dragged to the ninth floor of the tower by Seo Ah-rin, who was stubborn.

top entrance.

The place was indeed a space that could be called the ‘entrance of a huge tower’.

‘It seems like I moved to another dimension in an instant.’

The sky that occasionally flashes like a thunderstorm, a tower that rises without knowing the end, and a huge gate that welcomes visitors.

There was something like a barrier around him, so he couldn’t do anything other than enter the huge open door.

Seo Ah-rin and Chae Eun-seo seemed to be familiar with this scene and quickly moved toward the inside.

“Is this your first time entering the tower?”

Seo Ah-rin asked, showing Se-hyeon, who was intent on looking around the area like a country boy.

Sehyun nodded and replied.

“yes. That’s why I said I was going to the first floor.”

“That is a bit surprising… … It’s okay though. With your skills, you won’t get hurt. On the ninth floor, there is no berserk yet, and the structure has not changed.”

I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Sehyun just nodded again.

‘If I just follow them around, I’ll be able to do something.’

When I went through the door with that thought, a jungle full of dense broad-leaved forest spread out in front of me with steamy air full of humidity.

‘Wow, it’s hot… … Doesn’t subconsciousness block the heat?’

Of course, it will block the heat enough to burn the body and the cold enough to freeze the body, but not the level of sweating.

chuck!

As soon as she entered, Arin Seo took a posture like raising a sword.

Swords and armor appeared around her, as if seeing a transforming robot, covering her whole body.

‘Oh oh. Miraculous. How much gear did you wear?’

The Seohwa Group is a conglomerate family.

As far as Seo Arin’s ability allowed, it was only natural that he was wearing expensive equipment.

In the entrance exam, I only fought naked because I couldn’t wear anything other than sparring equipment.

Her ability to manifest all the equipment she could wear was close to the middle of the B rank.

Chae Eun-seo also held the dagger she used to fight Se-hyeon.

‘It’s so easy to have equipment appearing out of thin air and holding it in your hand naturally. Oh, can I?’

Didn’t Sehyun also buy the equipment?

Realizing that, I visualized the purchased equipment.

smoothly… … .

A magic gauntlet that is automatically worn on the right hand.

Sehyun clenched his fists for no reason and tried to hold his own form.

‘Oh.’

The feeling wasn’t too bad.

“There is a guy watching over here. He might come right away.”

“Are you coming as soon as you enter?”

“Then it’s not natural. The moment you pass through the gate, it is as if you have entered a battlefield.”

like that.

Sehyun, who roughly realized how it worked, prepared to use magic.

Cheer la la rock-!

Then, with an ominous sound, a long thing suddenly jumped out of the space filled with strong grass.

Its identity is a large centipede with eyes all over its body.

‘Wow, that’s crazy fucking disgusting!’

The unique sleek chitinous shell’s visual was no joke.

“Guided Arrow.”

The three arrows of the wind that were shot fly away and pierce the eyes of the open body.

‘Oh, did it hit exactly where I was aiming?’

Since they hit their eyes continuously, they must have done some damage.

‘… … is not it?’

Sehyun’s thoughts changed in a second.

Cheer up-!

I definitely thought that my eyes were my weakness, but for some reason, my attacks didn’t work at all.

Seeing the scene, Seo Ah-rin exclaimed.

“It’s not the eyes that are stuck in that centipede monster’s body, it’s the bumps that look similar! Rather, it’s harder than other places, so there’s no point in attacking there!”

Heck, that’s right.

Sehyun was genuinely surprised.

Where anyone can see that looks like a weakness is stronger than other places?

I wondered if it had evolved by giving fakes to attackers.

chuck!

Seo Ah-rin and Chae Eun-seo take their positions and bravely jump forward.

While Arin, armed with armor, pushes and staggers the centipede, Chae Eun-seo moves quickly and knocks her legs off.

It was disgusting to see the severed yellow legs wriggling like crazy.

After such a fight was repeated several times, the centipede monster instantly became like a trimmed hairtail, unable to use its strength, and Seo Arin’s powerful sword struck it completely.

‘If that’s the case, I haven’t done anything… … .’

It seems that the 9th floor was too high to come to the level of Sehyeon’s magic.

The remains of a giant centipede that slowly disappears.

“Well, this time it’s bullshit.”

Unfortunately, there was nothing to be said for this time.

Arin muttered and glanced at Sehyun, who was standing shyly.

‘Is your magic skill really at the level of a beginner? Seeing her helpless like that makes me wonder if she really has any skills… … .’

I definitely remembered it because I had been hit myself, but humans are creatures that were able to survive because they had a lot of doubts.

Feeling that she wanted to check Sehyun’s strength once again, she secretly looked at Chae Eunseo.

Chae Eun-seo, who felt that gaze, also met Seo Ah-rin’s eyes, and the two started a conversation only by mouthing.

(I wonder if it will be strong against monsters, shall we lure one out?)

(Yes. I can do it.)

It was a pretty evil idea, but both of them didn’t have good feelings for Sehyeon, so their hands and feet fit well.

“Let’s go find the next monster.”

“Hmm, I think you’d better go to a lower floor over there. My magic doesn’t seem to work.”

“What are you talking about. This way, your magic skills will improve quickly. Let’s go.”

‘Is that so?’ Se-hyeon follows them.

Before long, an angry animal appeared in front of him, something that looked like a mixture of a cow, a wild boar, and a rhinoceros.

“Uh, guys. A monster appeared?”

Saying that, Sehyeon looked around, but what was this?

There was no one around.

“Guys?”

“Mooo!”

A monster madly charging at Sehyeon, roaring like a cow with mad cow disease.

I don’t know why he’s so angry, and I don’t know where all the party members have gone.

“no… … .”

While I was riding, the monster rushed at me in an instant and tried to blow Sehyeon with its large horns.

‘what. not avoid? can’t you fight? What are you going to do?’

‘Why don’t you avoid it?’

Around the time when Seo Ah-rin and Chae Eun-seo, who were hiding among the dense bushes and watching them, felt momentary anxiety.

Baka-!

“Mooong!”

Something happened.

Sehyeon’s body moved so fast that she couldn’t even see her movements, and hit the face of the monster, Mutant Cow.

It wasn’t until the action unfolded that the two knew what Sehyeon had done.

‘What, what.’

‘That’s… … .’

Raised knees and staggering Mutant Cow.

The course was clear.

At the moment of the clash, Yoon Se-hyun lifted her knee and kicked the mutant cow.

Seeing that, Seo Arin muttered involuntarily.

“Wow, that’s what happens.”

Few people try to counter the pattern of charging with its distinctive large horns.

Even fairly strong Awakeners do not try to face the rush of Mutant Cow.

Since the preparation time is long, it is the standard and universal way to just dodge to the side and spill it.

It is an easy and fast method, so it is preferred, but it is also said that it is not possible to destroy it from the front.

In fact, if you weren’t in a tank position, it could be said that the moment you couldn’t avoid it, it was an attack that dealt damage close to instant death.

Such an attack, Yoon Se-hyun just ignorantly blew it away with a knee kick.

One thing I can think of here.

It was said that Yoon Se-hyeon had a level of hand-to-hand combat that far exceeded the ninth floor.

“What? Innocent… ! purr.”

Mutant Cow, who is just spinning around in the same spot, probably very embarrassed.

Chae Eun-seo trembled at the sight unfolding before her eyes.

‘Why? Strange… … that strong… … My body trembles strangely every time I check that strength.’

powerless? Feeling ashamed of your own weakness?

Something like that, but it was a little different.

Chae Eun-seo, what she feels while looking at Se-hyeon… … .

“Guys, where have you been!”

“… … !”

At Sehyun’s cry of urgency, the two jumped out of the bush in an instant.

And attack the mutant cow who is in a state of confusion without saying who is first.

After defeating him like that, Seo Ah-rin spoke as if making excuses.

“We were dealing with each other first… … I missed it in the middle.”

“I thought I would only use magic. Can I drag a weak ranged dealer to a floor higher than my level and leave it at such a risk?”

“lol… … Mi-I’m sorry.”

“sorry.”

Even Chae Eun-seo bowed her head.

Sehyun was a weak person for apologies.

I thought I should be a little angry about neglecting myself, but I thought I should pass it on as it was nothing special.

“Hmmm, if you dragged me recklessly, let’s do well. Or go to a lower floor. If you don’t like that, you can end the party.”

“No, no, I’ll do it right. Let’s go again.”

Arin Seo, who was leading the way, thought.

‘It doesn’t look like magic, but the use of the body makes me feel very bad… … Why do you hide your power so much and insist on weak magic? What is the trending concept these days? Or why the ability shouldn’t be revealed in detail? Maybe you’re a negative person… … .’

Arin tried her best to understand why Sehyeon was like that, but she had no way of knowing.

Not only Chae Eun-seo, but also Kim Tae-hwan, who knows the most about Se-hyeon’s secret, Yeo Yeo-yul, who claims to be his disciple, and Choi Na-bi, who witnessed the body of unconsciousness.

In fact, Sehyeon was being misunderstood by everyone who knew her.
