Chapter 133 (2/2)

There was a gap of silence

- ”We are also ready, but… I ards to the way this reat deal I et, the leader of the Bathory House, is not sohtly of No, you could become one of her victims, instead”

”However, we do have the scale of an adult Leviathan, don't we?”

The fully-grown Leviathan, the Monster of the sea that could give a real dragon a run for its money

If Sae-Jin in his Leviathan Form could eat that scale, then he'd be able to 'understand' Mana and all its lory contained within, and use that to evolve rapidly Then, someone like that Bathory woman wouldn't even be a threat any more

- ”If this is your wish… We understand We will deploy our agents and try to lead our target towards the East Sea when there aren't thatthe December period”

”Isn't that too far away?”

- ”Not at all We need to set up an isolation barrier as well as other preparations there in the meantime”

”Hmm Okay, then Got it”

As Sae-Jin was about to end the co on from the crystal

- ”Oh, before you go, is it possible to hire a Wizard with excellent abilities as a backup?”

”…A Wizard? Why?”

- ”We will be needing a Wizard that you can trust”

Sae-Jin thought about this for a second, before recalling a certain woman that fitted the description 'a trustworthy and skilled Wizard' rather perfectly, and nodded his head

A week later, within The Monster's Guild HQ building

Inside the es of gri

”Ohh So,it over here makes it easier…”

Finally understanding why other Wizards were singing 'Bangbae-Dong, Bangbae-Dong' all the ti how impressed she was

And so, while co the Wizard of Bangbae-Dong, Hazeline let out her exclarimoires' user friendliness and improvements that could be felt almost immediately But then…

”Unni? What are you doing here?”

Before she had the chance to react, Yu Sae-Jung approached her Yu Sae-Jung took a glance at the front cover and her eyes went extra round

”The Wizard of Bangbae-Dong… Is this the gri)

”Uh? Oh, uh… Yes, it is I already know all these spells, but since I heard that they were corrected for better efficiency, so…” (Hazeline)

Hazeline stealthily closed the grimoire She felt oddly embarrassed all of a sudden - well, she was so ti the works of a junior who had only o

”But why a sudden interest in gri)

The instincts of wo floated a question mark She even took a seat next to Hazeline

”Well, I, uh, I was a Wizard before, you know?” (Hazeline)

Hazeline beca Yu Sae-Jung The eht be love fro's point of view, it could only be seen as malicious emotions instead

”H)

”Y, yeah I suppose it is? I got curious, you see? Whenever this Wizard publishes soht? So, how could our Guild…” (Hazeline)

”…Well, this is within my Oppa's abilities, of course~~”

Yu Sae-Jung spoke with an obviously pleased smile on her face Meanwhile, Hazeline tasted a so her head powerlessly

”Well then, I should start studying, too…” (Yu Sae-Jung)

Slightly lost within the sense of victory, Yu Sae-Jung didn't leave Hazeline's side Instead, she pulled out her notebook PC, several textbooks, and even donned a pair of very intellectual-looking glasses

SFX for doors suddenly opening

Suddenly, the doors to the library were pushed open very hard

”Argh, what the?!”

Yu Sae-Jung hurriedly took off her glasses and turned her head around to look At the sa exploded out like a clap of thunder

”My name is Yi Yu-Jin, a new member of the Guilddddddd!!!”

”&!! What the?! Who the heck is she?” (Hazeline)

Hazeline blocked her ears and frowned deeply

”That girl… Ah, right We did pick her as the new )

The Guild held a 'newo It was such a hot topic of news that, The Monster and around 13 Knights Orders even held a joint contest aood fit for The Monster Guild

”Yi Yu-Jin… Ahh, so she got selected” (Hazeline)

Although an official announcement hadn't been made yet, Sae-Jin did inform them of the selection already

Yu Sae-Jung got up from her chair and walked towards Yu Yu-Jin

”Congratulations” (Yu Sae-Jung)

”Ahh, yes!!! Thank you very much!!!” (Yi Yu-Jin)

”Let's get along well together, you and I” (Yu Sae-Jung)

…And behind Yi Yu-Jin, Sae-Jin alking in through the door as well His body tre just now

”Uh, Oppa? Whatcha doing here?” (Yu Sae-Jung)

”…Oh, uh, I was…” (Sae-Jin)

…He came here to discuss some very serious matters with Hazeline, actually He told her over the phone, ”Help me”, but hadn't told her all the details yet

”…Here to introduce Yi Yu-Jin to you all” (Sae-Jin)

But since he didn't expect to spot Yu Sae-Jung to be with her, he hastily used Yi Yu-Jin as a suitable excuse

”Well then, you should break the ice a yourselves” (Sae-Jin)

”Ah, Oppa, wait” (Yu Sae-Jung)

”…What? Why?” (Sae-Jin)

When Sae-Jin tilted his head, Yu Sae-Jung walked closer right up to his face

She stood on the tip of her toes, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him full on the lips And it wasn't just a little peck, either It was so inti next to thelory, couldn't help but have her face dyed in crimson red

”…What was that all about, out of the blue?” (Sae-Jin)

The kiss ended after one full minute and Sae-Jin aardly asked

”Just I wanted to do it, is all”

Yu Sae-Jung giggled and tapped on his shoulder He scratched his cheek and left the library

Meanwhile, all Hazeline could do was to bite down hard on her teeth while staring at that torturous sight

She was so envious Her heart ached, too - as if a blunt knife stabbed it and isting this way and that

On top of that, she even unconsciously i If it was her instead of Yu Sae-Jung, then she wouldn't have to stand on tiptoes, either…

She held her fountain pen real tightly, until it was this close fro up… So, so jealous, envious, and themade it doubly more difficult…

”Hm, hmm~~”

Yu Sae-Jung hummed as she sat back down next to Hazeline

Hazeline did her very best to hold everything back in and concentrated on the grilance at her, and a hint of smile formed on her lips
