Chapter 762 – Flashback (1)

Guild leader of Silver and Jade Co., Ltd. Korea’s first SSS-level hunter. Currently the strongest hunter in Korea. An early member and party leader of the legendary S-class hunter party. A living legend in the hunter world who has been active as an S-class hunter for 20 years and as a hunter for almost 30 years.

All of these were titles referring to only one hunter, Seo Ok-hee.

Seo Ok-hee, a hunter who has lived as a hunter for a long time and has achieved everything that a single person can achieve by becoming the guild leader of a hunter guild.

In her heart, no matter how many years passed, there was one thing that was lacking, and that was that Seo Ok-hee could not always be sincere when it came to dating people.

Her awakening ability, which was awakened at such a young age, made it easy for Seo Ok-hee to fall prey to the convenience of her awakening ability from a young age, and in particular, her ‘mind-reading skills’ helped her in many ways when it came to making friends with people. Simply because it wasn’t that difficult to read her partner’s thoughts about her and act accordingly.

However, the relationships she made in that way did not always last long, and in the end, the relationship was always bound to end when the other person had malicious intentions toward her. In the end, Seo Ok-hee as a child heard in her heart that the other person’s identity was the same. It was an inevitable side effect of her ability to react sensitively to even the slightest malice.

‘Is he in first place again? ‘It’s really poisonous.’

‘What kind of rat-sized bitch is so arrogant…’

‘What kind of hunter is a hunter? It’s obvious that a bitch like that will fall out soon, so how can she become a hunter with abilities like that in the first place?’

‘If it weren’t for that bitch, I would have been first…’

Standing at her peak meant that she always had many enemies.

During her childhood, few people showed any ill will towards her, but from middle school onwards, Seo Ok-hee increasingly began to feel a great deal of malice in the hearts of those who met her.

The person in front of her is someone who talks with a bright smile and curses her in his mind, or the person who thinks about the plan to betray him at the end during a cooperation task. When faced with such people, it was inevitable that the door to one’s heart would naturally close.

Of course, thanks to this mind-reading skill, Seo Ok-hee was never betrayed or taken advantage of by others throughout her life.

Even if there was someone who approached her with malicious intent, Seo Ok-hee would either throw out all such unsounding people, or rather use them for her own benefit, and would never treat them as she intended.

However, Seo Ok-hee could not help but feel the overwhelming loneliness she gained in the process, and that is why she was always secretly thirsty for the affection of others.

Sometimes, even if someone approaches her with a favorable attitude toward her in her heart, she is bound to develop envy and jealousy if she has known him for a long time.

Seo Ok-hee was always at her peak at the hunter training school, and when you look at her up close, it is her basic human instinct to compare herself to others.

Especially in her student days, children were always comparing themselves to others, so she had no choice but to make Seo Ok-hee, who always never missed first place in her school, the object of her envy and jealousy.

… So, Seo Ok-hee thought.

On the first day of school after graduating from middle school, she realized that this child who approached her would one day become jealous of her and move away from her.

“Hi! Are you that Seo Ok-hee? Nice to meet you!”

‘This is Seo Ok-hee. ‘You look really cute.’

“… Huh.”

“Oh, by the way, my name is Eunyoung Kang. “She represented the student body at the entrance ceremony the other day. Did you see her?”

‘I hope you find out. ‘I want to become friends.’

“… Huh.”

“But later I found out that Okhee was originally the student representative? “Why did you refuse?”

‘… Was it a mistake? There must have been a reason for her refusal, but did she ask for no reason?

“… “There was just no reason.”

To Seo Ok-hee, her first impression of Kang Eun-young did not feel particularly special just because she was her. At her first meeting, there were quite a few people other than her who approached her with favor.

No matter how much the relationship ended due to her envy and jealousy, Seo Ok-hee basically had the element of attracting the favor of others. Her excellent abilities as a hunter, her quiet personality, and her cute appearance, which had prevented her from growing physically due to her early awakening, initially attracted the favor of many people.

However, as time passed, people around her couldn’t help but feel jealous of Seo Ok-hee, who always had everything she had, and each time that happened, Seo Ok-hee distanced herself little by little from the people around her.

Therefore, Seo Ok-hee unconsciously thought that her relationship, which began as soon as she entered high school, would not last very long, but surprisingly, the relationship lasted a little longer than she expected.

“Okhee, Okhee! “Did you solve math number 22 earlier?!”

‘I guess Okhee got it right, right? I didn’t have time so I took a quick picture, but I hope it turns out right.’

“… Number 3.”

“Ah, what a waste! “She was having trouble with number one!”

“Okhee, how did you plan the field training group for next week?”

‘If you haven’t made it yet, you should bring it to our group right away!’

“… “I’m just going to go alone.”

“Oops! Then come to our group! We still have one empty seat, right? “Let’s go together, together!”

“No, I’m comfortable alone…”

“Guys, Okhee is coming to our group!”

“…”

“Okhee, today is the last day of the school trip. Let’s go buy souvenirs! Quickly! Gogo!”

“… It’s okay, there’s no one in particular to give it to…”

“Then buy it and give it to me! “Give it to me!”

“Then it doesn’t really mean it’s a souvenir…”

‘Ah, now that I think about it, I feel like I’m forcing something like this. Still, if you want to take Okhee there, there must be some other way…’

“… Okay, I’ll go.”

Unlike other relationships, which usually lasted from a few months to a year at the most, my relationship with Kang Eun-young lasted all three years of high school, and that period was enough time for even Seo Ok-hee, who distrusted people, to open the door of her heart.

There were even times when I felt more at ease when I was alone with Eunyoung Kang than when I was alone. Because of her unique personality, there were many times when, in Seo Ok-hee’s situation, her inner thoughts were ‘unreadable.’

Usually, the reason Seo Ok-hee couldn’t read her mind was because most of the time she was thinking about something other than herself, but there were times when Kang Eun-young couldn’t read her even though it was clear that she was thinking about herself.

At that time, it was a case where what Eunyoung Kang said and what she thought perfectly matched.

“Okhee, Okhee! Look at this hair tie! “It’s shaped like a tangerine, so it’s cute!”

‘Actually, I discovered it earlier, but I have to pretend that I discovered it now!’

“… Yes, that’s right.”

“Then come here! “I’ll tie your hair with this!”

“… What?”

“Man, how much is this?!”

“No, it’s not necessary…” .”

‘Okhee is cute, so twin tails will look good on her, right? I hope you like it.’

“…”

For Seo Ok-hee, who had never experienced pure favor throughout her life, Kang Eun-young was someone she had never experienced before.

She doesn’t really hide her feelings, she just says whatever she wants, and her emotions are so kind that she is always the popular kid.

She always looks out for everyone and determines whether they are a friendly person to her or not, but when her relationship goes beyond a certain level, she quietly sorts it out. It was a person.

Afterwards, while she was living her life as a hunter, there were times when she built up enough goodwill that she could temporarily trust her, but the only friend she could say she could completely open up to was Kang Eun-young. .

“Ta-da, that’s it! How is it?”

“It’s just, I don’t really feel anything…”

‘As expected, this one is cute. But I didn’t do something strange for no reason, right? ‘I wonder if Okhee might start hating me later for no reason?’

“… Me, I’m not bad. Huh.”

“Yes?! “I thought you’d like it too!”

“… “It’s not that I like it, it’s that it’s not bad.”

The existence of Kang Eun-young was already deeply engraved in her, as she always measured and judged the favor of everyone who approached her.

She happened to have the opportunity to set up her own guild, so much so that she inadvertently named her guild ‘Silver and Jade’, taking each letter from her and her own names.

She later apologized for using Kang Eun-young’s name in her own way, but her response was enough to make Seo Ok-hee feel like her true friend again.

“I’m sorry, Eunyoung. Somehow, I accidentally remembered your name… Well, if I’m upset, I’ll change it to something else. It might be hard right now, but…”

“I can’t help it. Then I have no choice but to work hard from now on.”

“Huh?”

“Having my name in Okhee’s guild means that I eventually have to become as strong as Okhee, right? “I have to work harder than I do now, right?”

“Oh, no… I didn’t really mean it that way…”

“So, how do I apply for a transfer to your guild?”

“… “Change jobs?”

“It’s a guild with my name on it, so of course I have no choice but to work here, right?”

“Oh, no! Well, there’s no need to go that far… Well, I wasn’t really hoping for that…”

‘Do you think Okhee doesn’t want me to change jobs? Well, since I’m getting older now, I guess I was thinking about retiring. Why did I think that Okhee would naturally like it? I was just excited to be able to work in the same party with Okhee for the first time in a long time…’

“You don’t have to apply separately! I’ll take care of it, so just come…”

“Uh, can I change jobs?!”

“Huh… ! I-I will maintain your previous guild level with the authority of the guild leader, so you can just come…”

So, she was Seo Ok-hee, who created Eun and Ok’s ‘job change interview’ in a bit of a hurry.

For reasons of her very personal desire to bring her only friend, Eunyoung Kang, into her own guild.
