The spirits, just like before, flocked to Soohyuk, who was sitting across from Minjun. The cat perched on Soohyuk’s left shoulder, the lizard clung to his left cheek, the snake coiled around his neck, and the bird lightly fluttered onto his head.f2812a0e99501c7b

“Then what could it be?”e3094d1213bfd31d

Minjun couldn’t figure out the reason. Even when he asked again if they were scared, the answer was the same as before. Not scared, fine, good, and again, not scared. The only way to solve this mystery was to restore his rank. Once he became a higher-ranked spirit, he could have a normal conversation with spirits that had a strong sense of self.8594e235d1500e25

In the end, 90c6c55ee9 Minjun dismissed the c14482acd0 spirits, promising to de66cbc851 summon them again b9be8e9b20 later. Soohyuk, looking a 705885ef30 bit disappointed, lightly c192b0754a brushed the spot 1e277477b9 on his head b89cfdd831 where the wind bbda2fd2a5 spirit had settled.ea0bc0fca17de39f

Officially, Minjun had just become an adult, but despite his appearance, he was quite experienced in life. Having suffered since childhood, he knew the depths of human nature. Although diligent, he wasn’t very savvy, so he had been taken advantage of in various ways. As a result, he kept his distance from people, acting defensively rather than actively socializing.0d4868790abceaa0

This remained true even after he became an S-rank hunter. To avoid people clinging to him and sweet-talking, he didn’t form a guild and stayed a freelance hunter.633a3de18943d165

Minjun relaxed at Soohyuk’s light-hearted joke and responded vaguely. Even in the past, he had often been told he was unusually calm for his age, often being called an old soul.

Minjun quickly 66e16abd29 accepted his 9bc040f001 situation. Instead, it was ba559eef66 Soohyuk who awkwardly db0853af4b cleared his throat 3c07d74793 and looked around.5e14dab7e6d7a275

Minjun resisted the urge 31d2ab55cc to ask what made f49d78db64 him so happy. Despite his 0a330e201c intimidating and 4617c3a59c stoic appearance, 605e7f3769 Soohyuk was ca477aa9e2 quite talkative.

However, the man knew his limits. He stopped at the right point when it came to things Minjun shouldn’t know. When he didn’t explain, saying it was just something good, it meant there was a reason. So Minjun didn’t ask twice.444862a253e76e43

A mix of disbelief, joy, and curiosity hit him all at once. In the past, he and Joo Myunghwan had no significant connection. They had only been in the same class once during their twelve years of school. They weren’t personally acquainted.02185e7d5c9cca15

When the great catastrophe happened and hunters emerged, it briefly became a topic that they were the same age and from the same high school. But in a world where monsters popped out of dungeons daily, it didn’t garner much attention.a1577d0a61fc0532

Minjun clenched his fist so tightly that his veins bulged, forcing himself to suppress his burning desire for revenge.
