Chapter 62 (2/2)

Su-hyeun smiled at him and looked at both Hak-joon and Yun-seon. “How are you?” he asked.

“It’s all good. Except for those from the Authority that bother us,” Hak-joon answered.

“There will be no issues. I am the one who killed Jung Dong-yeong. You were just there.”

“Then won’t you be in trouble?” Hak-joon asked.

“If I have trouble, I can just go to the moon. Even if I don’t have a flight there, it would be no problem to go abroad.”

Hak-joon laughed at Su-hyeun’s joke. Surely, his face and smiling looked way better than before.

“We came here to say thank you.”

Yun-seon carefully opened her mouth to the conversation between the two. Su-hyeun shook his hand in embarrassment when he saw her bowing. “Oh, you don’t have to do this. I had been thinking about doing something to Ares Guild for a long time now….”

“But if you did not help us, this fool would have suffered more. I also still suffered from poison,” she said.

“Well, I did suffer a lot,” Hak-joon said.

At Hak-joon’s joke, Yun-seon pinched his arm with her long fingernail. She glared at him as if telling him to be quiet. “You are slow-witted,” she said.

“Ah, he looked burdened,” Hak-joon replied.

“But still we have to say what we have to.”

“Do we have to do that now?”

“Then, when will you do?”

Hak-joon and Yun-seon glared at each other and argued. It was pretty childish.

<> Su-hyeun thought.

The face of Hak-joon he had watched so far was always a little bit gloomy. He looked mature, not like his age. The dark mood that he had was not his original personality. He became like that under certain circumstances. But now, his shadow cleared up and his original personality appeared. His character was a little different from what Su-hyeun had thought.

Su-hyeun looked at the two who fought like cats and dogs as if it was funny. He turned his eyes to Lee Ju-ho. “Isn’t it about time?”

“We still have three minutes.”

“Let’s go inside now. Let them keep fighting.”

“Shall we?”

When Su-hyeun and Lee Ju-ho turned their bodies to the building, Hak-joon and Yun-seon thought they might make a mistake. They started to worry if their actions might make them upset.

“Su-hyeun. It’s not that…”

“I am sorry. We didn’t pick up the mood…”

Su-hyeun looked back at the two restless people and shook his head.

“You don’t have to be sorry. You guys look good. You don’t have to thank me, and you really don’t have to feel sorry. And Hak-joon—” Su-hyeun said.

“Yes?”

“—You owe me one.”

At Su-hyeun’s words, Hak-joon blinked his eyes and soon smiled big.

“Yes, of course! If you need me next time, just let me know.”

Hak-joon felt comfortable that Su-hyeun told him so. It was much easier just to run for him instead of only feeling sorry or thanking vaguely.

“Good. Don’t forget that,” Su-hyeun said and started to walk to the entrance of the building.

The S-Rank examination was something that the Authority was paying attention to as well. So, many of the examiners gathered and waited for Su-hyeun. When Su-hyeun showed his awakener registration card, the examiners looked at the people behind him.

One of the examiners asked him, “Will you allow people to watch your reexamination?”

Since it was Su-hyeun’s personal exam, he could decide whether to proceed privately or publicly. And hundreds of people here came to see the screening in person, to see the birth of a new S-Rank awakener. They wanted to report the scenes to the press or scout him for their guilds, or just watch it. But…

“Except for the three people here…” Su-hyeun pointed Lee Ju-ho, Hak-joon, and Yun-seon. “…please, tell the other people to go back.”

“You mean…all of them?”

The examiner looked embarrassed and looked around the people gathered in front of the entrance. There were people from major guilds such as Blue Dragon, Silence, Ripper, and etc. In addition, there were journalists such as major stations and internet newspapers that could guarantee his fame. But Su-hyeun refused to allow all of them to watch the exam.

“Are you going to be a mercenary soldier?” Hak-joon, who was following Su-hyeun, also made a surprised face like the examiner.

A mercenary was a contract awakener who only fought when they were paid. They were also an awakener who did not join either governmental institutions or any guilds.

“I don’t plan to work as mercenary either…” Su-hyeun walked further into the building and he swallowed the last of the sentence. <>

Guild, press, agency, all of those, seemed like child’s play to Su-hyeun. In the future, all of those things that share power, compete, and quarrel would all be a luxury because mankind would be destroyed. Su-hyeun had no intention of entertaining them at all.

Su-hyeun shook his head inside and looked back Hak-joon.

“No. I guess there’s two of us.”
