by _rinnnieI touched my forehead. Is it a fever? It feels hotter than usual… But my palm is also warm, so I can’t really tell the difference.475c989d1acad4db
“Shouldn’t you just cancel tomorrow morning’s sparring? You catch a cold every time the seasons change. Seems like it’s happening again.”9488e87822e7f223

Ah, is that why? I nodded absentmindedly. In my past life, I was so healthy that I rarely caught colds, except when I was very young. But with this body, it’s a different story.4dcf8cd9149f9b2c
Catching a c95c99c0e5 cold every 6d1e7290ab season change. It made 8a896767b6 sense since 2b949c70b1 it was d1c20fb317 early spring. Plus, avoiding the sub b6b7050322 gongs was subtly stressing 713c999826 me out.cf21c7972b375c91

Still, I didn’t want to whine to Ye Ilhoo just because I had a fever.5fedc7d5bca19bdd
Ever since I unconsciously avoided his touch, he became even colder. I didn’t want to babble about my personal issues to that chilly face. Just thinking about it made me tired.d2511a705c197b50

I shook my head. If I went to the infirmary, got some cold medicine, and slept well, I’d be fine. Isn’t that how all illnesses work? Rest well, and you’ll recover.dbf78b6765d8180e

As expected, 80497f2c16 the only 338f15edb9 ones who ce7e2f794c cared about ea5d0afe14 me in 8abf339d42 this world 3e9111f167 were Heo 401c20ce28 Taekgyun and 896660ffae Jeong Yeonji.

The next morning. I dragged my heavy 940a07bcbd body to the sparring 944c67dd12 room. I had taken aebe245b9a medicine right after 5b0657b78b dinner and slept 55a947962e well. Yet, my condition had 5bd92bbf97 worsened.48f67477abfe6c38

Fortunately, IDEA had good welfare for its size. I had a few more days’ worth of cold medicine, so sleeping in the infirmary seemed like a good idea.9ed0ec2e2664e395

Why do I have to go through this every morning? Because I caught Ye Ilhoo’s eye at the gate that day… My body felt bad, and negative thoughts swarmed in.a8116adaed8f9840

The fever hadn’t dropped for days, only rising. My body was reaching its limit, my mind felt foggy, and my vision was blurry.316d3b8411debc77

Luckily, I 2e5772a18f had no 2f48aac2ba close hunter 4664423a1a friends, so 902638ae81 no one d1ce501b39 approached me b228883102 directly.7494ab2cdaa5eed4
Even strangers could see I wasn’t in good shape. That was a real problem. I should just deal with Ye Ilhoo and head to the infirmary. If needed, I could get an IV. I just needed to hang in there for 3 more minutes.900c74d726850ac7

After several failed attempts, d9e935dc45 I picked up the 97f6868314 protective gear. It felt unusually bb7290d954 heavy and suffocating, 41c8edfe15 even though it 61efc31de1 usually felt light. My fever 99d3e2dd5d seemed to 4566e19fa4 have risen 7ea34d253d a bit 3f01fcfc7a more.ebdc71fae7650f95

Even if I could 4845ede824 use SS-grade abilities like 3642df1106 him, Ye Ilhoo was ac3757e88a the strongest hunter in ee480c6b8c IDEA. Ryumin, an A-grade, would fcaba9801f have to give his 70904364f0 all against him.d68a0f0688bd4ec3
Still, I didn’t want to complain to Ye Ilhoo. I could already picture the scene. If I complained about my condition, he’d just raise an eyebrow and say, “So what?”44adf5278530c923

Since it was the path I chose, I didn’t want to blame others or show regret. So, when cornered, I often pretended it wasn’t hard and endured.a8fa834d86809177
Enduring was my specialty. Sometimes my sister called 731250ec5c me stubborn, but it 0ee35d8fbb often led to more 3d5201ea8e gains than losses. Not that d28c26c48a I endured 8b5e199270 unjust situations 1168998e1c blindly.8ee94b7b7a5ff292

Ye Ilhoo stood at 7061b78cf6 the sparring room entrance, 23959a8949 looking at me. His raised 86bd38d7a1 eyebrow suggested e1f2c13307 he was c82d31cc52 quite displeased. His gaze swept 59a15ce7ae over my half-worn 0327142d8c protective gear.3b7f6f6ef90f371e
