Chapter 62: 32.2

Chapter 32 Part 2: Group

‘As much as I hate him, I still can’t ignore the fact that we’re colleagues at the moment, and he didn’t know the grudge I had with him. So I guess I’ll settle with a truce for now.’

“Well, then, let’s get our own stuff together and meet again next week.”

“Okay!”

“Let’s do that.”

I looked at Lee Eun-Woo, who was smiling sweetly, and agreed. After all, we were now in the same group, so who was I to blame? Lee Eun-Woo is a bit of a manipulator, but he is essentially a hero who fought for humanity. I believe his nature is still good… Maybe… Probably..

“I’m home.”

I stepped into the house, while greeting awkwardly. It’s been a week since I moved into Hye-won’s house. I moved in before the written results came out, and I can’t tell you how happy she was to hear that I passed the written exam. She said that she knew that I would have gotten in, but she was still overwhelmed by the news.

“Noona Are you home?”

“Yes, Yeon-Won. Where’s Unnie?”

“She had to go to the guild for a while. She’ll probably be back in a moment.”

“Okay, thanks. Have you had dinner?”

“Not yet.”

Hye-won was not home, just Pyo Yeon-won. He was already in his third year of high school and was in the middle of his exams, so it was hard to see him since he was rarely home.

“You should have brought dinner when you came in.”

“No, I have leftover stew from yesterday. Noona hasn’t had dinner yet, right? Let’s eat together.”

I nodded in understanding. He was acting a little awkward now, but to me, he was a familiar face. Just before the regression, I had walked out on him, who was constantly begging me not to join the war…

At that time, I was crazy about the war and didn’t look back on many things. Right now, Pyo Yeon-Won alone is like that. But before, when his older sister Hye-won died at a young age, he had to take over as the guild leader. I assisted him, but… I’m terrible at administration, so I couldn’t do much to help. I felt like I was the one with the strength and he was the one with the wisdom.

“You’ve worked so hard…”

He took care of me a lot too. I didn’t know how to take care of my body, so I always pretended to listen to Pyo Yeon-Won when he nagged at me and worried about me. He was always kind, but he’s probably had endless days of pain too. I wonder what he thought when he saw me obsessing over the gate.

‘This time, I’ll cherish more things, and prioritize what’s more important…’

I was too short-sighted in my last life. I changed my clothes and took a quick shower while my mind wandered around aimlessly. When I finally returned to the first floor, I found Pyo Yeon-won lightly preparing dinner.

‘Oh no.’

“I could have prepared it myself…”

“No. Didn’t you take the practical test today? I thought it would be hard, so I just did it, It wasn’t much really.”

“Oh, the real test isn’t until next week, and today was just a preview.”

“Really? I heard the test will be held in groups, so how are the people in your group?”

Umm… What should I say? That there’s one guy in there that I knew before the regression, and I’m worried that he’s the kind of guy who’s going to try to manipulate us into doing whatever he wants?

“…It’s nothing much. We just said hello to each other. I don’t know anything yet.”

This line should be appropriate.

“…And it’ll probably go on for a week.”

“That long?”

“That’s because they’re testing you to see if you can survive inside the gate.”

It’s a week because we don’t have enough time, but it’s not enough to prepare for a month. Of course, there are a lot of people who can’t even do that.

“… The gate huh…”

Pyo Yeon-Won faltered at the end of his sentence. Oops. I was being inconsiderate. Didn’t he almost lose his sister at the gate?

“Yeah. But it’s okay, I’m sure I’ll be fine, they’re monitoring us anyway, and if our life is in danger, they’ll forcibly end the test.”

“That’s good, then.”

He smiled slightly.

❖

A week passed, and I gathered the items and supplies I needed to survive and went to the appointed place. We gathered one-by-one, and even though it was half an hour before the time, all four of us were already there. This is the Hunter test, and I need to be prepared. I nodded at myself.

I might feel like an old person, but the world is still at peace, and it’s times like these that we need to improve ourselves so we can defend ourselves when war finally comes.

“Once we entered the Dungeon. Shall we find a place to camp first?”

“That would be great.”

“By the way, what is everyone’s desired specialization?”

Kim Ju-il asked lightly.

“I want to be a tanker.”

Min Da-Lae answered first. I’d only vaguely noticed her when she came in with her armor piled high on that tiny frame. Of course, the conventional wisdom is that the bigger and heavier the tank, the better. This is because the defense level is usually high when such people awaken. Nonetheless, there must be a reason why Min Da-Lae aspires to be a tank. I didn’t have to pry though.

“I’m a swordsman, and I use twin swords.”

Kim Ju-il said, while showing us the two swords hanging from his waist.

‘Twin swords. If you use them well, they’ll give you a much more versatile attack than a regular sword. If not, it would be a waste of weapon.’

“For now… let’s call it a Gunner.”

Since my weapon was a gun, I called myself a Gunner. There was no point in revealing my unique skill to them since we barely knew each other. It’s not like they’d even recognize the Spatial Interference skill as an offensive skill at this point.

“I’m a Mage.”

“I’ve heard of you. Your magical talent is so great that they had to quickly take you into the Blue Serpent.”

“That’s flattering, I’m not quite there yet.”

He laughed lightly and shook my hand.

I said that because Lee Eun-Woo’s magical talent is indeed unprecedented, and it’s enough to catch the eye of the head of The Blue Serpent Guild. What a brilliantly shining talent to be able to capture the attention of a man who had probably seen all the talents in the country.

“Then it’s roughly decided. Ms. Min Da-Lae will stand in the front, followed by Mr. Kim Ju-il. After that, me and Ms. Han Seo-ha will stand behind him.”

“It’s good that the grouping is quite balanced.”

My registered weapon is a gun, so they must have thought of me as a long-range dealer. Technically, I can do both long and short range, but… I think I’m better at close range. I stroked the karambit on my waistband as a backup. As we talked, the clock ticked down to the Testing hour— In a few moments, we will enter the dungeon. We weren’t told which dungeon it was. I can only hope that when I open my eyes, it will be a place where it is easier to survive—

10, 9, 8, 7… Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind.

‘Come to think of it, before the regression… I heard that Lee Eun-Woo had an accident and almost died when he was taking the Hunter exam, didn’t he…?’

—3, 2, 1.

「Notice: You have entered the gate.」

TL Note: 

Seo-Ha had that habit where she forgets the important details and remembers them at the last minute. Well Hopefully, they all survive this…
