Chi-Woo hadn’t felt his presence at all, and the man seemed to have popped out of nowhere He couldn’t help but be suspicious He asked, “I astance

“Aren’t you a member of the seventh recruitment team from the Celestial Real his response, the young man smiled widely

“Yes, I am I didn’t realize that ere on the sa onto his club Could he believe this man’s words? “But could you answer soel who made the announcements at the seventh recruitment?”

The man looked confused at first, but he soon realized the reason behind the question and answered, “It’s Ms Laguel”

“Correct What’s her hair color?”

“I trust you Truthfully, I don’t know that either,” Chi-Woo said

When he realized that it had been a trick question, the htly and re on your holograh, sir”

Chi-Woo took his hands off his club and flinched ‘How do I turn that on?’ he wondered He did receive a device like that, but he didn’t knoorked Chi-Woo suddenly got nervous that the raed the topic of the conversation

“Were you sent here too?” the man asked

“Sorry? Ah, yes, yes When I woke up, I was in this room” Then Chi-Woo responded with his own question, “You too?” And the man’s face darkened

“I…” He squinted one eye and placed his hand on his forehead “I can’t…reained consciousness, I…” Chi-Woo didn’t knohy, but the man appeared to be in pain

‘Did he hurt his head badly when he fell to this place?’ Chi-Woo wondered

The man shook his head and took a deep breath

“Did you see anyone else?”

“Sorry?”

“I’iant man with a tail and a woman with short brown hair Their names are Giant Fist and Mua Janya”

“I don’t think I saw the to apologize about, but the enuinely sorry However, Chi-Woo was sure of one thing now He wasn’t the only one that had been dropped separately from the others; everyone was scattered to various places After a stretch of silence, the ain like he had reached a decision

“Anyways, it seeh now,” he said calmly even in this chaotic situation “Would you like to team up in the meantime?”

“Yes I’m sure two is better than one” Chi-Woo didn’t refuse Even if they didn’t know each other, they were allies with the saht have lost his power, but he was still a hero There was no reason for Chi-Woo to reject an experienced and skilled veteran fighter fro hi out of this place,” the ree with you strongly,” Chi Woo answered

Chi-Woo liked that the man didn’t just act on his own and instead asked for Chi-Woo’s opinion ‘I also like that he doesn’t speak inforht away’ Chi-Woo would only know for sure after spending more tiood person

“So…Oh, that’s right I didn’t ask for your name,” the man said

Chi-Woo nodded and spoke, “Yes I aive away his identity if he could prevent it

“Excuse me? If you are Choi Chi…are you part of the Choi family? Are you perhaps froht away This ht he said he was just a neho joined the ranks after saving one World’

“No, no,” Chi-Woo quickly denied “I think you heard wrong My name is—" No name came to his mind, and he kneould invite suspicions if he took too long, so he blurted out, “I’[1]” Chi-Woo could clearly see the corner of the man’s lips rise as soon as he heard this name, and a quiet ‘pfff’ escaped his hed humorlessly when he saw the ht The htly ‘Seriously?’

If Chi-Woo hadn’t been there, the , ‘Hahaha! Chichibbong! His na!’

“Perhaps…Is my name funny to you?” Chi-Woo asked suspiciously, but thesohis lower lip so viciously that it looked like it would bleed Wanting to push this ood then It’s a precious naifted me” If his parents heard him, they would have protested and asked hi his parents seeeting and opened his eyes widely Then he gulped loudly and spoke again

“I-I see” He coughed roughly and cleared his throat “Eheh…there was no…way…” The led to let out each word Chi-Woo applauded the man’s phenomenal self-control and in the meantime, the man took a deep breath and calmed himself down

Then he said, “Nice to meet you, sir I’m pleased to introducetheir introductions, Ru A—no, Chi-Woo left their spots Ru-Amuh decided to take the lead in directions while Chi-Woo kept watching Ru Aht that if they followed the blood ure went, they would reach the exit The inside was dark and considering that they were in a building, the path was very twisted and coht not even be in a building

Even though their surroundings had been built by huht in that they were in a cave being used as a shelter While Chi-Woo walked through the twisted path, he was plagued by embarrassment Since he had spouted out the first part of his naed to turn ‘Chi’ into a neord, and spat out the first thing that came to his mind for ‘Woo’ However, it was precisely because he had said the first thing that came into his mind that he caused this embarrassment There were so many cool and pretty na of all names!

Chi-Woo stared at Ru Aan to lead the way Even when the blood ed into multiple directions, hein the right direction?”
