This change in thought was evident in the at the city The heroes who had looked at the rescue team with pity at their departure now looked envious The one up to bronze rank, and there were several who moved to silver And above all, one of theold rank: Ru Aained as much attention as the heroes frohts

Ru Amuh was perfect in every way; he was handsome, had no noticeable faults in his personality, and his skills were evident Thus, everyone wanted to get acquainted with him, but Ru Amuh’s attention was elsewhere

How did he create so like this in that short period of tih Philip’s words that Chi-Woo realized how serious his situation was Even if wanted to request help, he couldn’t use his chat In the end, the only thing he could do was to protest through voluntary fasting Chi-Woo thought Chi-Hyun would at least check up on him before he died from starvation, and because of that, Chi-Woo had been blankly staring up at the ceiling
