Episode 280

Megapole Tower.

Sakura looked up at the building that was the symbol of City Guard. Unlike my father’s archery hall, I felt like I was losing the large and imposing building before it even started.

“This is…”

But Sakura clenched her fists tightly and looked up at the Megapole Tower. The power of City Guard, one of the government agencies, was experienced indirectly through Lee Seong-hwan.

Even the countries are different, but Sakura’s dojo was in danger of dropping its signboard just because they were released from a formal training company recognized by them.

But on the contrary, now the dojang was lively and crowded just because they were on the list they selected. It was safe to say that there was no place that the city guards of this Megapole Tower could not reach.

Jerk-jerk-jerk!

However, Sakura walked into the Megapole Tower vigorously without being intimidated.

– Belongs to Choten Academy.

– Hanasaki Sakura.

– Your identity has been confirmed.

Sakura, the seventh number of the famous Hunter Academy, was able to enter most places with a free pass.

‘You mean Siu is here?’

Now all that remains is to replace Lee Si-woo.

I already knew that Siwoo Lee had returned to Korea and was helping City Guard with their work. It was not difficult to hear the news of Lee Si-woo, who had already become famous for his national competition.

Wheein – Ding!

When the elevator arrived, Sakura, with an angry face, climbed in with her arms crossed. Lee Si-woo, who almost lived with her, cut off contact irresponsibly without any explanation, but Sakura waited until now.

It wasn’t because he didn’t know where Lee Si-woo was. It was because Lee Si-woo needed time to think, and he believed that if he was given that time, he would definitely come back.

– Arrived on the 6th floor.

But Sakura couldn’t wait any longer. The vacancy left by Lee Si-woo, who had been living like a lover, was bigger than expected.

Even when he was shooting his bow, he glanced at the seat next to him without realizing it. When preparing meals, there were times when I made an extra portion for one person without realizing it.

There were many times when I wasted time staring at the message box that didn’t reply like an idiot.

‘I can’t stand it anymore.’

Sakura was also at her limit.

Gying!

The elevator door opened, and in the crowded auditorium, Sakura blinked her eyes to replace Lee Siu.

The rooftop of Megapole Tower.

wheein-!

The strong wind blew Ryujin’s black cloak vigorously. And next to him stood Chet, wearing his trademark leather outfit and helmet with an electronic display board.

“This is your first mission, how do you feel? What are you curious about?”

Cheet giggled and suddenly threw herself from the ledge at a dizzying height and jumped down.

Flash!

Of course, it didn’t just go down. Cheet’s body gave off a white light and quickly appeared behind Ryujin with his Blink skill.

“Ask me anything. Now, what’s there to hide in the yard in the boat?”

Normally, he would have ignored cheats indifferently, but this was a topic that Ryujin was also curious about. Even though Ryujin became an official member, he didn’t know much about Rebellion yet.

Rebellion, a group of villains, was shrouded in a veil, and the leader, Nameless, was even more so.

“…What information do you want to get from the City Guard while doing this dangerous infiltration?”

Cheet put on an expression that was not funny at Ryujin’s question.

“It is a boring topic. I thought you would ask about Chloe’s ex-boyfriend or who the secret ‘vacancy’ was~”

Cheet deliberately yawned with an electronic voice as if to sarcasticize serious Ryujin.

“Ah~ There are more serious guys like this again.”

Cheet tuk-tuk patted Ryujin on the shoulder and smiled. Then, Cheet’s other trademark, shark teeth, was revealed in fluorescent light on the helmet’s display board.

“Yeah~ It’s for revenge, right? That’s how our captain honors her.”

The goals of the villains gathered in Rebellion are different, but at least through this mission, I knew that Nameless’s goal was revenge against the Hunter Association.

But who the hell is the existence that Chet refers to as ‘she’? Who is this tribute to?

“…she?”

“Oh come to think of it, you haven’t seen it yet, have you? It’s fortunate~ If you see that face even once, it will be hard to forget even in your dreams.”

When Ryujin, who became curious, showed interest, Cheet made a noise and laughed at what was so funny.

“One thing is for sure~ I was able to get at least a document about the experiment through hacking.”

However, the explanation of the cheat was quite kind, except for the fact that he was using Blink here and there and pouting next to Ryujin.

“But what the captain wanted was the memory crystal itself. No one knows where to use it.”

The facts that Ryujin can know now are briefly summarized as follows.

Nameless has turned a huge group called the Hunter Association into an enemy to avenge the victimized ‘her’, and can sacrifice even innocent people for her own goals.

In Ryujin’s eyes, neither the Hunter Association nor the Rebellion was justice. But I was able to empathize.

There was something more precious to Ryujin than life, and if he lost it, he was confident that he would turn it into an enemy, whether it was the Sword God or the Hunter Association.

that’s why i knew

That’s not courage.

Even if the end is death.

There was no reason to be afraid anymore.

“Now let’s get started.”

* * *

Seonghwan Lee’s speech was continuing in the auditorium. People from the City Guard gave thunderous applause at the end of Lee Seong-hwan’s words, but Lee Si-woo yawned with an insensitive expression.

The face of wishing that all these boring events would be over as soon as possible.

“uh!?”

However, there was a change in Lee Si-woo’s expression. His pupils widened in surprise, and Lee Si-woo made an expression of disbelief.

‘How can I be here!’

And it was the same with Sakura, who was glaring at Lee Si-woo from the other side.

“Yak!”

Sakura pointed out that she had finally found Lee Si-woo in the crowd, and started to run recklessly.

– This is a reform plan that transcends barriers between countries! It is a new form of association!

As applause poured in again along with Lee Seong-hwan’s speech, Sakura’s “Yaaaaaaa! Lee Siu!” The call was naturally buried.

“How did you replace this place again!”

In the end, Lee Si-woo looked around and found a place to hide, and started running recklessly.

Tadat!

Shiu Lee escapes the auditorium and runs down the long hallway before being captured by Sakura. However, because Sakura came from the entrance, Siu Lee had no choice but to run away through a dead end.

Udangtang! thud!

Eventually, Lee Si-woo enters a waiting room and hurriedly closes the door.

‘…What is this like.’

that buck! that buck!

Then, Sakura’s footsteps echoed through the hallway. Shiu Lee once again admired Sakura for being able to express his anger with just the sound of his footsteps.

thud!

Hearing the sound of the door opening in the next room, Siwoo Lee hid behind the door using his thin body.

cooong!

Sakura roughly opens the door to the waiting room. But don’t you know that Siwoo Lee is hiding behind him?

Kiki-

suddenly, the door slammed shut.

Peeking out

, Sakura stuck her head out without closing the door.

“…They ran away as if they were going to die, is this the best?”

Sakura wakes up with an axe and Shiu Lee is embarrassed.

“So…”

Sakura entered the waiting room and silently stared at Lee Siu for a while.

“…Why are you leaving? You could have given me an explanation.”

I knew I would scream and get angry, but Sakura’s first words were quite calm.

“I didn’t want to explain.”

It would have been better if he cursed at me, but Lee Shi-woo’s response from Sakura was even more heartbreaking.

“why?”

Sakura asked calmly.

“Just this and that.”

Lee Si-woo gives a short answer.

Of course, even in the midst of that, Sakura’s sharp touch didn’t go anywhere.

“Is it because of the seal?”

When Lee Siu did not answer the question, Sakura smiled bitterly as if she already knew.

“Why do you… pretend to be such a bad person?”

Ishiu could hardly answer Sakura’s words. Siwoo Lee was just more comfortable taking on everything.

“If you act like that… if you just do what you want!”

In the end, Sakura, who couldn’t stand it, rushed at Lee Si-woo as if anger exploded.

Lee Si-woo ‘It’s coming.’ I accepted it humbly. What happened next was something that even Lee Si-woo could not have predicted.
