next day.
Minjun visited Bucheon early in the morning.
With only a few days left in the second semester, I decided to visit Kim Pan-seo’s workshop.
“What brought you here?”
“Is that all you said when you arrived?”
“A busy person comes early in the morning and does that. “Anyway, what did you really do yesterday?”
“what?”
“The finals. “I thought for a moment it wasn’t you.”
Panseo Kim seemed to be referring to the final stage of the special match that took place yesterday.
As I was the first to inform Panseo Kim that I would be participating in the special competition.
There was no way he hadn’t seen Min-jun’s performance.
He was growing rapidly as the days passed, but he was no longer seen as a trainee.
Meanwhile, Min-jun looks around the workshop with his back turned.
Panseo Kim looked at him the whole time with an ironic expression.
“Well, are you looking for something?”
“Hmm, I’d like to try making some arapin elixir… “It seems like there are no ingredients for the elixir.”
“what? Arapin elixir? Why do you need it? “You can’t believe it?”
“Don’t worry, it’s not what you think.”
“But why are you trying to manufacture it?”
Maybe it’s because Kim Pan-seo knows the Arapin elixir… .
When Minjun brought up the keyword first, he looked at me with suspicion.
He even walked up to Minjun and took out something and put it to his eyes.
“what are you doing?”
“Stay still! “From what I can see, it’s somewhat accurate.”
What Panseo Kim took out was a small laser.
Looking at the fact that it was held directly against Minjun’s pupil, it seemed like the purpose was to determine whether Minjun was a dissociative hunter.
However, fortunately(?).
I checked Minjun’s pupil condition with a laser light.
Panseo Kim, who judged that there were no symptoms, immediately put the laser into his inner pocket.
Tick-tock-
“Luckily, I don’t have any symptoms.”
“I have no doubts.”
“… “I’m sorry.”
“… Well, it was surprising.”
Panseo Kim had his own reasons for doing this.
‘It’s worth it.’
-I guess he’s a friend with another story.
‘Because his older brother was a dissociative hunter.’
Pan-seo Kim has an older brother, but ironically, he became a dissociative hunter and is now treated as a virus-type hunter.
Moreover, given that they belong to the ‘Serum Guild’, which is in the spotlight as a new guild, the impact was even greater.
To the extent that he is already half a monster.
Because he had a hideous appearance, no one knew whether Kim Pan-seo’s older brother was alive or dead.
Kim Pan-seo’s only older brother was not only instantly treated as a monster, but
As I received criticism from the public, my grievances grew in many ways.
He, too, had been studying the dissociative hunter’s antibodies for a long time and was focused on developing a cure.
Not only has there been no progress yet.
I only heard that ‘Arapin elixir’ was taking over the role of a cure.
He was thinking that this too was not certain.
“I want to hear the reason. Why did you suddenly say the Ariffin elixir? “Is there a suspicious hunter there?”
“I don’t doubt it. “I would say it’s almost certain.”
“Hmm, it’s a bit uncomfortable to hear. So who is it? “Do I know this person?”
“I know. “You probably saw it yesterday too.”
“… … ?”
Kim Pan-seo has no clue.
Minjun looked at a poster that was stuck on one side of the workshop and boldly tore it down.
“The guild war is over, so what are you going to do if you keep it until now? It looks cool here too… .”
A Guild Wars poster that was posted as promotional material even before the Guild Wars were held.
It was filled with the faces of ace hunters representing each guild.
By far, the center position is the ace of the Woohwang Guild.
The face of Jeong Do-yu could not be left out.
Kim Pan-seo was not the type of person who would not notice a hint like this.
“to?! no way?”
Nod-
When Min-jun just nods his head implicitly, Pan-seo Kim looks like he can’t believe it.
He covered his mouth.

The atmosphere at the headquarters of Woohwang Guild, which failed to win the defense for the first time in six years, could not have been good.
Moreover, unlike fierce battles.
In yesterday’s guild battle, the final stage was played with skills that were not suitable for the Woo Emperor Republic, so the sense of despondency seemed to be growing.
The sluggish performance of Jeong Do-yu, the trusted ace of the Woohwang Guild, came as an even greater shock.
Jeong Do-yu’s usual tenacity and unique sword skills were nowhere to be seen.
As much as it alone accounts for 20-30% of the power of the Woohwang Guild.
Jeong Do-yu’s importance was quite high in Woo Hwang’s guild, and he was in an important position.
In a situation like this, how sad would Jeong Do-yu, the person involved, be?
However, to her chagrin, she could not remember the circumstances of yesterday at all.
“Oh, I don’t remember anything. nothing… . “What on earth did I do yesterday?!”
It’s normal to have to remember even the slightest clue.
It made me question whether there had ever been a case of memory decline to this extent.
Additionally, the way his colleagues looked at him on a regular basis was also noticeably different from before.
I didn’t even know what the reason was.
She, too, was just heartbroken.
Accordingly, the person who was very worried about her was none other than Ryu Deok-min.
Yesterday, in the guild battle, I actively claimed to be her supporter.
He had clear memories of the final stage.
“I was just not in a good condition. Just do better next year. “It’s not all your fault.”
“Deokmin, you know, right? How was I yesterday! “I don’t remember anything.”
A side of Jeong Do-yu that has been difficult to see recently.
She seemed to be trembling with anxiety and covered herself.
Ryu Deok-min hugged her without saying a word.
The priority is to reassure Jeong Do-yu, and if anyone sees her in a weak state… .
There was nothing good about it.
“Stay still. are you okay. are you okay..”
“really… I don’t remember anything… . Huh… “What on earth is happening to me?”
“It won’t be a big deal.”
Ryu Deok-min must have thought that things couldn’t go on like this, so he changed his mind.
He cared about Jeong Do-yu more than anyone else and wanted to prevent the dissociative hunter from progressing to the final stage.
“I will stop it. “I must!”

Meanwhile, Min-jun, who was still at Kim Pan-seo’s workshop, was worried about the bustling Bucheon area today.
“Is it some kind of market day?”
“I did not know? “Today is the day the flea market opens.”
“It’s a flea market… .”
“It’s a market that takes place once a week and only here in Bucheon. Well, because of that, all kinds of merchants come and go here. wait for a sec… . I also need to get some velvet grass. “When you wake up, the market price will rise.”
Flea market.
It is a fairly large market event held here in Bucheon.
It is also a place visited by famous seller hunters and miscellaneous merchants.
Magic stones from around the world that cannot be found on the market, or ingredients needed for elixirs.
And even various accessories!
Since there is so much that is missing, it was obvious that Bucheon would always be busy during the flea market.
‘wait for a sec… .’
Minjun came to mind again.
I am confident that I can obtain the recipe for producing ‘Arapin Elixir’ at this flea market.
It was a bit more difficult than getting the arapin elixir in the first place.
Gathering various elixir ingredients to make them is much more time-saving.
I thought that I could barely stop Jeong Do-yu’s final stage of being a dissociative hunter.
‘The clue to the writing method is… First, I have to find that friend.’
A giant of all things who travels around the world, collecting and trading all kinds of teaching methods.
Minjun naturally thought of ‘Bong Jong-ho’.
‘And then I saw that I had forgotten the existence of Bong Jong-ho.’
Bong Jong-ho, whose name is often known only to those who know him at the bottom of the Colossus.
The values he held while buying and selling tens of thousands of writing books were always the same.
‘No writing book is useless.’
Even if it is a writing method that no one understands.
There must have been a reason why it was produced, and Bong Jong-ho was walking down the path of a great merchant, always thinking that the writing method book could become scarce someday.
However, not everyone could meet Bong Jong-ho and trade writing methods.
If you want to make a deal by receiving the instruction book directly from him… .
You are given a homework assignment and you have to solve it.
‘Luckily, it starts today.’
Usually, flea markets last for more than 6 days on average, so judging from [Dad’s Palace], the day Bong Jong-ho makes his full appearance will be the last day of the flea market.
In that case, there was only one thing Minjun had to prepare for.
‘I just need to get the bookmark for the Arapin Elixir!’
In all writing books, various bookmarks are connected and exist.
However, Minjun had predicted through the original work that there would be no bookmark in the current Arapin elixir recipe book.
Bong Jong-ho, the great merchant of writing methods, never trades writing books without bookmarks.
As such, it was an unspoken national rule of this floor that he had to present an item that would make him want to trade.
So where is the bookmark for ‘Arapin Elixir Recipe’ currently?
Ironically, the answer was very close at hand.
“By the way, is this a bookmark you haven’t seen before?”
“what? Oh, this?!”
A bookmark surrounded by gold.
A bookmark that would not have looked out of place in Kim Pan-seo’s workshop was placed on top of the weapon drawing.
It seemed to be made of common metal, but it was definitely a more ornate bookmark than it looked.
“But this is a bookmark? “I think it’s perfect to use as a ruler.”
Judging from the fact that there were graduations on each corner of the bookmark, Panseo Kim seemed to be originally using it to measure length.
“I’ll buy you a ruler, so please lend me that for a while.”
“why? “Where are you going to use it?”
“To use it as a bookmark.”
“What are you talking about? Bookmarks are widely available on the market. “Why are you trying to use this thing, which is no better than metal, as a bookmark?”
“That’s the perfect fit!”
