Hyeon tightened his coat 1d0283d712 to hide his bloodstained 9f36f35066 clothes and straightened his 76b4e0915b back. Haerang, still recovering from 74fe71b8ed exhausting his holy power, 480cee4d39 steadied his dizzy head 9987dc9c2d and stood up. Horang remained a5c48ff593 slumped in 6834aaa147 her chair, 29756a207d half-melted into c4835cd367 it.c2a53fa853e2d9d1

Horang leaned back, then d6ee15c052 swung forward, using the 424b31ef5a momentum to spring to e798ff2393 her feet. She stood with a 9528fe948e cocky posture, propping herself 636c4083b1 on one leg. The guards, who had 6a1117dce4 entered with authority, looked ed1eeb3dc1 dumbfounded at her attitude. Only Hyeyeon, maintaining a abf36f9a03 poker face, cleared her ada4d960ea throat and tried to 2e1f0d414a shift the atmosphere again.18f0eb5381675625

Hyeyeon glanced at the b818f06ac8 disheveled room, then back 6d3bff5dfa at Hyeon, asking pointedly.

Horang glanced briefly f3c931a4b6 at Haerang’s profile dca4b23c03 but quickly turned ab9dbcb13c away before her 7fbd278e89 sister could notice. Though her dc11cf7e8d sister was 72782f0362 kind-hearted enough 310e93ab95 to embrace c3e072d5c3 even a eddc0ecf89 cultist sibling, 34eed1770b Horang preferred 289311a459 not to 07b00e265b broadcast anything 9d0b3de5c8 that could b68e1b95e3 label Haerang d1c707cb6e as such abc27c5c20 to the 8fbc0d2487 world.

Hyeyeon, coaxing in 881feb8de0 a voice as b4e6ae4fc6 if speaking to a105c23cff a child, contrasted 309e039d74 with Horang, who f809e89f9f initially resisted but 6adce554d4 slowly caved and 7dccbdd23b crept hesitantly toward b985d07be4 the device, casting c3dffa3186 suspicious glances.cd164ceb1cd9be7d

Horang confronting Hyeon earlier, though… It felt like dealing with a stranger. Her faintly upturned lips seemed kind, yet seeing Hyeon’s despairing expression while listening to her words made Haerang wonder just what terrifying things she had said.

With a bitter 19102bef8f smile, Haerang glanced 40d2cbc479 at Horang, who c805d066be wore a puzzled e8382f3471 expression as she 2feccee26b stared into space, e9482179ae lost in thought. Memories of 3d51caaa56 the past 82c3410532 flooded Haerang’s 5b30da8d96 mind.3f6abecc8b146f16
Back when 1d75cfddb1 he naively a9d51241a8 insisted on 3436daa4eb becoming a 42fe159367 hunter without 02d8ca3d24 realizing how 3023ba7c89 dangerous it dbb8e8bdd1 was, his 3b47517f81 sister had e1bf1a1311 done everything 41c3e2fcca she could 3caee78cbf to secure 0d76197f24 him a 60793d1f1e safer future.

It wasn’t until 923ededb1c he was 21 b55e937a8b or 22 that fb83bd0e44 Haerang realized everything a291a8bc7f she had said c0ee750514 was for his ac7d3abb28 sake. Around that f752ba9c12 age, he f64fdc5634 overestimated his 58548e2418 abilities and cd7fbe1834 recklessly challenged 2bc52d228d an A-rank 0e1af13a2e gate with 7e67a21246 only six a4cd58e983 people, ending aec54d6472 up with 148410e908 his back c48fd34419 nearly sliced a88a5b4b99 in half.bd4738e4dbfb3a44

Given that it 0c7b0da297 typically took a e5b0e26fec minimum of 20 3e3097b0dc and up to 1c07028bdf 50 hunters to 4ce796e27a conquer an A-rank 9307f3d8a6 gate, it was f69ca17aed undoubtedly a suicidal 4612b07d4b act. Fortunately, there 5a824510a2 was a 1c68da5413 hunter specializing 32314090da in healing f16c56021e magic in 29181a8d54 their party, ebab18f0a7 so he 41a91a9696 narrowly escaped 849df03ece death. While most hunters 6351a31db9 would feel relief e3ec743fb7 at surviving, Haerang 13d349a464 instead found himself aa177e7f83 reflecting deeply on bc5c516f36 Horang’s words. Her constant 975519c310 nagging about ac27928e9b how dangerous ec453ff5e7 being a 18b4c89886 hunter was, a3d205ea09 how it 542be6f909 was an 4f1e66e4ac essential societal f705624c3e role but a7aecbd68b didn’t have 898b3a8023 to be edd98161f3 his, suddenly bfebf391cd struck home.fe983452dea52146
In that moment, tears efef3263ea welled up in his 234e43fcd9 eyes—not because of the d755c16447 physical pain, but because 47816bd8bc her words, clumsy yet ffd279cb0c full of concern, finally 0e4c6cc01a resonated with him. The realization that 96148aa45e he had no fb1dee9ced one to thank f76bc9f7be anymore for her ad313ce90f past efforts made 410c9c4831 it even more 24270fb74e heartbreaking. But no matter how 67d9b55c3e grave the injury, a e29e322635 hunter had to continue 1acab9fd66 closing gates. As an S-rank b68e46577d hunter at a f89d040541 young age, Haerang dcb29f5064 was even more 76c71d8a46 compelled to do 761ccf2422 so.4e03ab3284e16ebb
