The Girl I Saved Came Back As An S-rank Hunter - Chapter 95



95 – Reunion

– Kwak Kwang.

“Ugh….”

I don’t know how many layers of walls I reached while being pushed by magic power.

The shock was big enough to make me feel fortunate that it wasn’t broken anywhere.

I almost lost my mind for a moment, but I managed to hold on.

“Can you come to your senses? Who are you running into now?”

Choi Woo-seok smiles as he sees my staggering figure covered in dust.

I want to run right back and punch that face, but recovery comes first.

I wonder if I’m not paying attention.

When I calculated the attack speed a while ago, this is enough.

– KANG.

– Gulp, gulp.

I opened the lid of the last recovery potion prepared by Choi Tae-sik and quickly poured it into my mouth.

“Keuk…. Drink slowly. Chehala.”

He was preparing for an attack, but he didn’t even pay attention.

I was frowned at his relaxed attitude, but I calmed down as much as it was evident that he was provoking him on purpose.

As I calmly cool my head, the bleak reality comes into my eyes.

The [Counterattack] Prepared as a trump weapon to defeat Choi Woo-seok has already been nullified by the magic control shown earlier.

I think about other methods, but I can’t come up with a sharp number.

I’ve grown to the point where I can’t easily lose against any S-class opponent, but my opponent is one of the strongest in the world.

There is absolutely no chance of winning in a head-to-head confrontation.

“I can hear the head rolling from here. People with no talent are so pitiful. Have to work so hard ha ha ha!”

Choi Woo-suk laughs at me.

I wanted to jump at the tone that seemed to ridicule my life itself, but I bit my lip and endured it, knowing that it was a shortcut to ruin.

Then he stopped laughing and shook his head from side to side.

“… That’s not funny. I thought he was going to struggle, but he just whimpers like a dog and curls up his tail. I was going to save it for last entertainment, but I can’t help it.”

Choi Woo-suk claps two fingers with a sad expression.

As I was wary of what kind of attack he was about to attack, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth and pointed his finger above his head.

“… !”

It could be a trap. When I raised my head and glanced up, I found the person I was desperately looking for.

The image of Sujeongi sleeping with her hands clasped on her stomach.

And around it was a reddish transparent film.

“Fix it right now.”

“Keukkeuk. I will.”

Unexpectedly, Choi Woo-seok listens meekly.

I don’t know what the plan is, but first, check Sujeong’s condition.

Because the transparent film covering Sujeongie is the effect of [Absolute Protection] That comes out when the ring she gave her while confessing breaks.

Sujeongi’s body descends at high speed as if gliding in the air.

I wondered if I should take it because I thought I might fall at the moment, but fortunately the transparent film gave off a red light and the speed decreased rapidly and I landed safely on the ground.

“As expected, it seems that it is not possible to inflict damage in this way. Too bad.”

Choi Woo-suk speaks as if he was conducting a light experiment.

For a certain period of time, it’s [Absolute Protection] That doesn’t take damage from any attack, so I tried to attack Sujeongi in this way.

I realize it all over again, but I feel that he is really vicious.

But right now, it’s not urgent.

“Sujeong-ah! Soo-jeong Choi!”

Due to the nature of the [Saint], She is covered in scars despite her body recovering little by little.

[Absolute protection] Being activated means that you have actually received enough damage that your life is in danger.

I couldn’t stay by your side while it happened like this.

I feel like everything is my fault.

“Wow… ,Wonwoo.”

Sujeong came to her senses as if she heard my voice.

“How are you feeling?”

When I asked with a worried heart, Sujeongi answered with a faint smile.

“This arrangement…. I can’t even budge….”

Unlike words, it is felt at a glance that he is already in a state of disrepair, and it looks more pitiful.

I’m worried that I’m trying to do it on purpose.

I want to go and hug you right now, but it’s a pity that I can’t get close to you because I’m blocked by [Absolute Protection].

Pair. Match.

“Keukkeuk. I’m in tears, I’m in tears Even the half-penny monster and the idiot who is crazy about that kid and attacks me. Very spectacle. Spectacle.”

Choi Woo-seok watches us from afar and applauds mockingly.

Sujeongie saw Wooseok Choi like that, and then she called me with a cracking voice.

“… Wonwoo….”

“Yes, Sujeong, tell me.”

Then she hesitated for a moment and then asked.

“… I’m sorry, Wonwoo…. Really sorry…. I know everything but hide it….”

Even in this situation, Sujeong is the first to apologize for the previous incident.

Looking at those eyes that say apologetic words with tears in them, it breaks my heart.

Now I can fully understand why.

It must have been just scary.

For fear of being hated.

To the benefactor who saved him.

To the lover in love.

It was just that I was afraid that everything would be denied and that I would get farther away.

She was just a soft-hearted woman who was trembling with anxiety that she never wanted to lose me.

I have one thing to say to her.

“It’s okay.”

“… hehehe.”

Tears from the corners of her eyes run down Sujeongi’s cheeks.

The hardships of the past are clearly visible.

Sujeong must have been in pain as much as I was.

She just had something big happen right in front of her eyes and she was forced to do something evasive.

It’s obvious that Sujeong must have been like that due to her personality.

She seems selfish on the outside, but her sense of responsibility is stronger than anyone else’s.

“Stop it. Her body is not in good shape yet.”

“Huh…. Yes….”

At my word, Soo-jeong steals her eyes with her hands.

I want to go up to you and hug you and pat you on the back, but I can’t. It’s a pity.

And now it’s not such a relaxed situation either.

“Keukkeuk. Even after getting stabbed in the back of the head, it’s still love. I doubt that intelligence even exists.”

Choi Woo-seok speaks as if he can’t understand.

I stepped in front of Sujeongi and said.

“That’s probably because you don’t trust anyone.”

“Ha! Isn’t that obvious? Intelligent and living things always betray. Without a single exception.”

“Okay. Isn’t that because you’re not serious too? Is it a way to get together?”

“Foot. Comparing to the same level as you guys. It’s ridiculous.”

As expected, if I had been a person with whom I could communicate, I wouldn’t have come this far.

The more we talk, the more I feel that I am a helpless guy.

“Now, it seems that you have shared your last heartfelt words before you die. [Absolute protection] Still has time for my brother. Should I kill my boyfriend in front of my eyes first?”

Choi Woo-seok draws his sword from a distance.

Raising both hands, I readied my combat stance to respond.

[Wonwoo.]

“Huh?”

Suddenly, Sujeongi’s voice echoed in my head.

I want to look back because I want something, but I can’t do such a crazy thing with Choi Woo-suk in front of me, so I waited for the next words.

[As the situation is urgent, I will speak briefly. First of all, [Absolute Protection] Is now less than 3 minutes away.]

[So, I have two things to ask of you. First, please protect me from Choi Woo-seok’s approach for a moment.]

Are you trying to buy time for your body to recover as you still have minor injuries?

[Second, please pour half of Wonwoo’s magic into the shield now.]

The ensuing incomprehensible request.

I want to ask what it means, but there is no way to convey it, so while I was thinking about it, Sujeongi continued.

[I don’t have much time, so just trust me. It’s the only way we’re going to survive. Please, Wonwoo.]

Sujeong-i makes another request with earnestness.

No matter how you think about it, it is inefficient to uselessly throw away magic power before a life-and-death battle.

If someone else had told me this, they would probably have ignored it.

But the person asking me now is Sujeong.

A person who once doubted and almost let go.

That person is earnestly pleading for trust.

If they don’t trust me again at a time like this, is there any meaning to meeting them again?

In lieu of answering, I turned around and hid one hand behind my back.

And then, he poured half of his current magical power onto the shield.

[Thank you so much…. Wonwoo, for believing in me…. Then I’ll be there.]

I don’t know where he’s going, but first of all, he took a step back to cover his sight to focus on protecting Sujeong as he promised.

In a little while, the protective shield that protects Sujeongi will disappear, so you have to hide it so that it is discovered as late as possible.

“Whoa…. Are you saying that you want to show a manly side of yourself?”

Fortunately, Wooseok Choi focused on me as if he hadn’t noticed.

Dubuck. Tboob.

Then, while holding the sword, he gradually closed the distance.

In the end, it’s an obvious situation that you’ll notice when you get closer.

I don’t want to, but I can’t help it.

“Haaap!”

To protect Sujeongi, he rushed towards Wooseok Choi first.
