Solo Leveling

Bang.

A woman drinking coffee from a can looked up. Because the necessities for the office were not ready yet, Liu Chenhao rushed to the convenience store to buy this can of coffee.

"How did you come here?"

Cheng Jin-Woo felt a little ridiculous.

Cha Hae-In quietly looked at Cheng Jin-Woo, and answered softly.

"I want...to join the guild."

Chapter 133: Cha Hae-In's Thoughts

Am I hearing it wrong?

Cheng Jin-Woo doubted his ears a little.

As the vice president of the country's most former guild, and her own strength is also extraordinary, such Cha Hae-yi said that she wants to join a guild that has not yet been established.

If she hadn't been threatened, she probably wouldn't have said such a thing, right?

but.

'Who can threaten her?'

He immediately thought of a person in country H who could pose a threat to her.

"Could it be President Gao Jianli?"

Cha Hae-In's expression seemed to be wondering why he suddenly mentioned the president of the association.

"Why...?"

I don't even look at who should be really puzzled, why is she showing such an expression instead.

'No, calm down. '

The fact that she proposed to join the club really shocked people, and even the current situation made people emotionally boil, but Cheng Jin-Woo still calmly pulled out a chair and sat opposite her.

Then Cheng Jin-Woo looked at her silently.

The space was silent for a short time.

Time seemed to slow down, and pieces of information about her began to emerge in my mind.

' She was shaking. '

Heartbeat, breath, eyes.

Even though Cha Hae Yi pretended to be calm, she couldn't hide Jin Woo's extremely high sensory ability.

But why did she force herself to join this so-called 'singleton' guild?

Unable to bear doubts, Cheng Jin-Woo finally opened his mouth.

"Your current cooperation with the Hunter Company Guild should not expire yet, right?

Contracts between guilds and hunters are generally based on five-year units.

On the other hand, Cha Hae-In was recognized as an S-rank hunter two years ago and joined the Hunter Company Guild. That is to say, based on five years, their cooperation still has three years left.

"I can afford the liquidated damages." Cha Hae-In replied calmly.

Cheng Jin-Woo was puzzled again.

Liquidated damages are about two or three times the deposit.

Thinking of the huge deposit that the hunter company will pay in order to catch the S-level hunter, one can imagine that the liquidated damages will definitely be an astronomical figure.

Before asking realistic questions, Cheng Jin-Woo said in a businesslike tone.

"Our 'Singles' guild does not have the ability to pay enough deposits to Hunter Cha Hae-In."

"Guy, is the name of the guild a singles guild?"

"Yes, is there any problem with the name that I and our vice president decided on?"

"......no."

After Cha Hae-In exhaled lightly, she spoke again.

"It's okay, it's okay without a deposit."

She obviously wanted to pay Hunter Division a huge amount of liquidated damages, but she actually said that she could accept it without a deposit?

'What is this plotting?'

Cheng Jin-Woo squinted his eyes and looked at Cha Hae-In in front of him.

As soon as the time of staring at each other became longer, Cha Hae-In couldn't bear it any longer, and she looked away.

Heart beat faster.

Cheng Jin-Woo moved his ears, his keen sense of hearing did not let go of her subtle changes.

'Is it hiding something?'

When we got here, Cheng Jin-Woo couldn't help asking again.

"What is the purpose of you joining our guild like this?"

"..."

As he expected.

Cha Hae-In, who couldn't answer right away, kept her mouth shut.

Looking at her blushing face, she must be hiding something.

"Wait a minute..."

From this point of view, when seeing her at the farewell ceremony, she was also different from usual.

Although I don't know what she is thinking, but her plan should have started a long time ago.

Cheng Jin-Woo quietly waited for Cha Hae-In's answer.

However, Cha Hae-In still lowered her head and said nothing.

'No, how to explain this?'

After being attacked by an ant monster, I obviously lost consciousness, but I can still feel you by my side.

Even the breath of you is reassuring as you plummet downward in endless darkness.

No words can describe the mood at that time.

'Even if I said it, he would think I was talking nonsense. '

When she learned that Cheng Jin-Woo was really by her side at that time, she didn't even know how fast her heart was beating.

She felt relieved because it was not her own illusion.

and.

'In case...'

In case she really couldn't avoid death, she also hoped that the person beside her could be Cheng Jin-Woo.

'I hope that the one who can stay with me in the end is you... something like that. '

How can I say words that make people blush and heartbeat just by imagining them.

For Cha Hae-In, who doesn't have any girlish feelings, the two are words that are impossible to say.

So she said the answer she had prepared earlier in the morning.

"I want one"

Cha Hae-In raised her head, she looked at Cheng Jin-Woo and continued.

"I want to live free...'

Although it is a bit off topic, it is not a lie.

If being with other hunters made her afraid to move because of the bad smell, then just being in the same room with Seong Jin-Woo would make her feel at ease.

That's what Cha Hae-In meant when she said 'freedom'.

Although the explanation was somewhat discrepant, Cheng Jin-Woo understood Cha Hae-In.

Cheng Jin-Woo nodded after listening to her answer.

Break away from the large guild of the Hunter Division and act freely like in a smaller guild.

According to Cheng Jin-Woo's knowledge, Cha Hae-In's age is about twenty-two or twenty-three.

'It's just a girl in her early twenties, she must feel that the burden that an S-rank hunter must shoulder is very heavy. '

Not to mention that during the encirclement and suppression battle on Qizhou Island, she even encountered a danger that almost cost her her life.

When he was working in the association before, Cheng Jin-Woo thought about leaving everything behind and running away countless times, so he fully understood Cha Hae-In's mood.

'But although the situation is somewhat special...'

But he couldn't agree right away.

The single name of the guild is not for nothing.

Because in the future, all the dungeons reserved by the guild will be attacked by myself.

If it is necessary to meet the minimum number of people, then just like when raiding a C-level dungeon, just find people to make up the number of people.

This is the best way to upgrade.

But once Cha Hae-yi joined the guild, the guild would cause a lot of trouble.

Let's not talk about the deposit, but she has to pay wages so that she can live on when she comes in, right?

Using a high salary to hire an S-level hunter who doesn't actually need to do anything will only cause a waste of national resources.

However.

'Obviously the other party said that there is no need to pay a deposit, if I still refuse...it should be very strange. '

Cheng Jin-Woo thought of a good way.

"Actually, if you want to enter our guild, you need to accept a test."

"Huh? But the recruiting ad didn't..."

Cha Hae-In was a little flustered, but Cheng Jin-Woo interrupted her immediately.

"Because it is a rule that has just been established, it may be that our vice president was negligent."

Hearing that there was a test, Cha Hae-In was a little surprised at first, but her eyes immediately became sincere.

"What test?"

Cheng Jin-Woo was really taken aback.

"Is she—serious?"

I thought that after hearing that there was a test, she would automatically quit out of face.

But Cha Hae-In reacted exactly the opposite.

Instead, she was inspired to fight.

Cheng Jin-Woo could feel her burning enthusiasm after panicking.

'So she turned out to be the kind of person who would not shy away from the challenges she faced?'

Or just want to give it a try?

Anyway, now that the matter has come to this point, Cheng Jin-Woo can't say that what he just said was actually a joke.

"It is to win the shadow soldier I appointed."

There was a clang in her mind, and Cha Hae-yi felt that she was underestimated.

'......'

Is this the only way you can judge me, Hunter Seong Jin-Woo?

It's really amazing.
