You know that everything is quite hectic for Jinwo, not only did he have gone for a week off, well not totally a week for you had to see him at least once a week in order not to get punishment from the system. But one thing important is that he finally manage to find the cure to Aunt's sickness. And only one of the ingredients were to find.

On the other hand, he did get re-evaluate in which he did came of to be the 10th, but it is yet to be official a few days ago. He even get to talk with the head of the hunter associations. You don't know what they've talked about but so far it seems like it was not something you'd be bothered about.

Not to forget how he started as a member of the mining them into clearing out a A-rank dungeon real quick is enough to make your head throb. But you knew it was none of his fault he was prone to such things. It was not his fault, it was perhaps for his character development or was it for the improvement of his stats?

Then a few days ago, he officially became the 10th S-rank hunter of Korea. And now, the punk if out on a dungeon raid again, probably because of the last ingredient.

You on the other hand too was busy, but never once did you forget to check on him and meet him even for a moment afraid of the punishment to come. It's not like he's bothered by the fact that you would show up out of nowhere. In fact, it seems like he's in a relief seeing you.

Whatever it is you actually don't know.

"With that being said, (First name) we're entrusting this matter to you"

"Ugh, you guys are harsh. Really giving me a vacation trip to jeju huh?"

You spoke sarcastically as you roll your (eye color) iris under your hood

It's not an actual trip to jeju of course, you're just being stationed in the coast near the island to exterminate any possible ants that could fly over the mainland.

"I've been doing the work for you guys nowadays don't you-"

Private System Warning

Sudden Quest

Accept the mission given by the association and take part of the raid expedition that is about to come in the near future

Accept || Death

Note:

All sorts of daily and weekly task would be put into halt until the current and future arc is over

You blink.

Speechless indeed.

"- don't you think you're quite lucky I'm a free woman who got nothing to do?"

Nice save (Your name), you thought as you give yourself a mental pat in the back still thinking here goes your free time.

You swear one day who ever is behind this system is going to pay for it. Seriously.

So here you are days later on patrol, walking around the coast, you really have nothing to do as it was currently early in the morning and the sun was not setting yet. With a yawn, you just walked and walked around the coast, looking from afar.

So far for the past few days of being assigned in here, you've killed ten ants so far one by one.

Kicking up a random pebble on the coast, you let out a sigh.

You don't really want to do this but the freaking system is a huge shackle for you. You might be free at some time and most of the time at the same time once in awhile you would find yourself having no choice but to comply.

Suddenly you felt a buzz in your pocket, once again letting out a sigh, you pick it up, not bothering to look at the caller as you answered.

"What the hell do you want more Jinchul-?!"

"(Your name)"

"Jinwo? W-wait, are you crying right now? What's happening-"

Soon enough a familiar voice was enough to make you stop and understand the reason why Jinwo was crying.

"(Your name)-ah"

"A-aunt Kyung-Hye?? Auntie? Is that you?"

You could not help but to stutter holding your free hand to cover your mouth

"(Your name)-ah. It's me"

Oh my God! It worked!

You thought at your (eye color) iris starts to tremble.

At the same time you realize that Jinwo just finished clearing the dungeon. So upon exchanging a few words with Auntie Kyung-Hye, you made up your kind to come home.

"I'm going back"

You said once the phone was back in Jinwo's hand

"Wait for me in there, I'll probably arrive there by day time"

"Okay just be careful"

"Hmmmm, see you later"

Then you ended the call.

A few hours later, true to your words you did arrive at the room in which Jinah was already in there crying in the arms of her mother. Upon entering the room, his mom looked at you with such a loving look as if she was looking at her children too. Looking back, those were the eyes that saved you from the very beginning when you first cam into this world.

So approaching the bed with a with a genuine smile on your lips, you're shocked that she thanked you when it was you who should be thanking her for saving your life. Yet here she is thanking you for being their with his children when she was not around. So you tell her it was nothing, those two were very important to you just as much as she was important to you. They were like your new family, in this world.

It was such a scene to see the family of three happy together, nevertheless as you look at Jinwo who was standing not so far away from the mother and daughter, for a moment, there was a gush of wind that makes your (hair color) locks flow along the direction of the wind coming from the open window.

"Hey"

You walk beside Jinwo who was quietly standing in there watching his mother and younger sister

"You did good"

You spoke as you're finally beside him, he didn't speak

You're just there, quietly when to reach out to hold his hand. And when you do so, he look down towards you with wide eyes, and you went to meet his glaze with a small smile on your lips, but it is a genuine one.

"Should we head outside?"

By your question, he nods

You knew something was bothering him, you never seen him look so distance before. Nevertheless you're not here to ignore that even if he refuses to talk about it. It's okay if he doesn't want to speak about it. You'll just be here by his side because sometimes that is enough.

Excusing yourself and Jinwo, both of you made your way out of the hospital. Proceeding to sat on one of the bench and just. Just just there in silence having each other's presence.

Soon enough he open in phone, having nothing to do, you decided to peak over, resting your head on his shoulder as you do so.

"Oh, such thing happened while I'm away?"

You stated as you both came across about an article about a dragon like creature in the sky that seems to be spotted last night

"Ah, that was my doing. It was a fast way of transportation after all"

Then there was silence.

Then you laugh, and he smile.

You knew it was him, you do know about his ability after all. But the sound of his phone ringing cut of the silence in the air. Making you sat up properly as you roll your eyes having to lean comfortably in his arm.

"Hello?"

"Hunter Sung Jinwo, this is the association Go Gun-Hee"

You were about to stand up. You were about to ask him for what drinks he wants for you're about to go fetch some at the nearest when you heard the one talking causing flashbacks of you running away from your duty to come back.

You gulp, looking at the familiar phone number. Nevertheless you're quite chill, after all you did make sure the land is safe even though you're not in there. Setting up an invisible barrier all over the cost was an easy task after all.

Zoning out of their conversations as you continue to go down you to your own thoughts.

"(Your name)? Are you okay?"

"Huh? Yeah"

You nod

"The chairman asked me to come with you in the association"

"Huh? Okay"

You gulp, he knows you're in here

"Are you sure you're okay?"

He frown

"Yes yes I am"

You said with a sigh

"I'm fine"

It's not like you can't beat the Chairman on one on one, well not like you tired but how knows

Then he held out his hand, causing you to raise your bow at him in wonder of what could he possibly wants. Nevertheless you accepted his hand.

"What? Are we going out on a date?"

You joked with a chuckle

But that damn punk just smirk at you and pull you in a hug saying

"Well if you want to we can"

Before you could reply as you get flustered, everything went black as if you're swallowed by darkness. But a moment have passes by and the next thing you knew is that you're in front of the hunter associations building.

Upon snapping out of your thoughts, you playfully glare and push him away from you which cause him to laugh.

"New ability? I never seen nor heard of that one. You have teleportation?"

"Nah it's more like I could switch places with my shadows"

"And you just happened to have one wondering near the associations building?"

You nudge and smirk at him in which he just shrug as if knowing you already know the reason behind it

So you both walk inside, side by side. No one dared stopped you for they already have seen you walked in and out of the building for the past few weeks and days, although they could barely recognize who you are because no matter how much they dig in they never kind information about you other than being a C-rank hunter and your name. Other than that they could no longer find information about you.

Seeing you entering with the newest S-rank hunter was quite a shock to them but they are in no position to ask what the hell was that combo. Specially when both are called by the Chairman.

"They really know how to stare as if I can't feel it"

You spoke as soon as you two got into the elevator

"Are you uncomfortable with it?"

There was a moment of silence.

"The next time you felt uncomfortable tell me"

"Well I'm not really..."

Meeting his glaze as you look up

For a moment you almost cower away as he look at you, slightly frowning, but you knew he was just worries at you making you smile at him gently.

"I'm just not used to people looking at me with such interest"

The last time people at you with such eyes were terrifying, just remembering it was enough to make you shiver. But then as an arm was warp around your shoulder, making you look up into Jinwo, but the man was already looking forward.

None of you spoke after that, just the silence and warmth coming form him was enough and as elevator finally made it's stop, he is still yet to retract his arms so you have him a tug on his hood.

"I'm fine now, thank you"

You smile at him in which he could only give a sigh nevertheless retract his arms off your shoulder as you finally entered the room to the chairman's office.

"(Your name) and Jinwo, I can't believe you two actually came here together"

He chuckle as if he can't believe what he just said

"You're stationed around the coast right?"

"Ah yes well something came up I have to return in the city"

You spoke

"How about the coast?"

"My barrier should hold any ants that dare land on the island, after all my barrier is all around the coast"

You said like it was no big deal and that it was no one business

"Do you think I'll leave it unattended? I ain't one to slack off at work Mister, so don't worry. It is enough to hold an A rank dungeon boss for a day before it breaks and so far the ants that have set foot in there is lower so it should be enough to hold ants that dare come in until I came back"

You continue which was soon fell into a dead silence almost making you think you've said something wrong

You didn't though, it was just very surprising that an assassin like you could set up a barrier all around the coast nevertheless enough to hold an A-rank dungeon boss for a day.

Clearing your throat,

"Anyways, I'm not wasting energy nor mana on this. I did promise to be in my best condition for the raid."

"Anyways, I'll wait for you Jinwo, have fun talking with Mister"

You said as you quickly dash out the room

As soon as you shut the door behind you, you let out a deep breath and glare in the air. Those two were not saying anything enough to make you nervous thinking you did something wrong.

Told to be truth, you really did nothing wrong. It just the two man in the room was too stun to speak by your abilities.

Going back to you, not even ten minutes ever since you left the two man inside the room. You suddenly got goosebumps on your arm.

At the same time, you went to fish a mask on your inventory, not really bother to change into your assassin outfit for it's quite hot. Besides you know sooner or later they would figure out what you look like underneath your hood. But of course that is only if they'll be about to recognize you.

"Lead the way Chairman"

You spoke as he did lead the way to the facility

You and Jinwo trailings behind him.

"What's happening?"

"Ryujin Goto"

"Ah"

No wonder why you felt such presence. With that being said, you try to keep your presence and ability as low as possible enough for a bunch of S rank not to notice. And Jinwo who seems to recognize what you're doing suddenly remove his jacket and hand it to you.

"Huh?"

"Wear it"

You aren't cold really. As you said, you're quite feeling hot. Still you did as you are told, and as soon as you put his jacket that seems big for you but not too big, he pull up its hood to cover your head.

No words were spoken after that. Walking towards the facility, you're pretty sure are at least fifteen S-rank people in there.

And of course you are right. Arriving at the second floor railings as the chairman kept talking, you barely pay attention to them. Keeping your eyes on the S-rank below.

"It's been awhile Hunter Sung Jinwo and..?"

As Choi Jong-In turn to look at you, Jinwo was quick enough to cover you from his sighy

Why? Honestly you don't know but you don't mind. As said only few was get to your face. Even some of the S-rank have never seen your face.

"She's with me"

Jinwo spoke as the Chairman look at the scene in interest

Choi Jong-In didn't bother putting his towards you, after all in the eyes of others your presence should be enough to make them assume you're a C-rank hunter who just happened to be with Jinwo right now.

Ignoring you, he continue to talk to Jinwo about the S-rank in the place. You already know who they are, damn association made you memorize the names of the Japanese S-rank hunters as enough to make you hurt your brain.

"Hmmm?"

You raise one brow in amusement

You lean against the railings as you over heard the Japanese translator, Hanekawa an A-rank Japanese Hunter about to start a match with the Guild master of Gisadan, Park Jongsoo a fellow A-rank hunter.

"Now this is interesting"

You chuckle silently

Snatching of wrist is a good game for two hunters, there won't be much damage at the same time it is enough to see which one would be on the higher rank state.

And so, the two eventually start their match.

Ah yes I did skip on some arcs.

I was about to put the S-rank match in his chapter but it's going for so long lmao I'm taking the fight scene on the next chapter
