Trait Absorption Hunter Hunter 235
235. People you shouldn’t meet
‘Yerin… … ?’
Min Do-jun’s pupils shook back and forth.
Because I met someone I shouldn’t have met.
“I told you to stay in the car, why did you come?”
“I’m bored of waiting. Are you finished talking yet?”
Cha Seung-hoon nodded and then came to his senses with an ‘Oops.’
“Oh, come to your senses. Let me say hello. This is the guild leader, Hunter Min Do-jun. Hunter, this is my younger brother.”
“hello.”
Cha Ye-rin greeted him, making eye contact.
But Min Do-jun’s neck was stiff.
I could only stare blankly.
Cha Ye-rin laughed awkwardly, but even that was fatal to Min Do-jun.
‘It’s the same.’
Facial expressions, eye contact, voice, even the atmosphere.
It was exactly the same as Cha Ye-rin that remained in Min Do-jun’s memories.
Even though it was the first time I saw him when he was a high school student.
‘It feels different from when I hallucinated it before.’
The last time Min Do-jun saw Cha Ye-rin was through the dungeon’s hallucination trap a while ago.
‘At the time, I didn’t feel anything special, maybe because I knew I was playing back a video from my memory… … .’
It’s different now.
I was facing her in vivid reality.
I don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for this moment.
‘I’m glad you’re safe.’
Min Do-jun felt relieved at the sight of her without any injuries… … .
-Brother… … Save me… … .
Soon, the image of her with her neck broken overlapped.
“omg!”
Cha Ye-rin was also surprised by Min Do-jun’s sudden surprise.
“Hey, are you okay?”
Min Do-jun stared at Cha Ye-rin.
‘Should I just run away with Yerin like this, even though it’s a coup?’
As long as she is safe, it doesn’t matter whether a coup occurs or not.
But Min Do-jun shook his head and shook off the fantasy, knowing that it was realistically impossible.
For a moment, I was thrilled to see my beloved again.
‘I won’t be seeing Yerin again. What happened?’
I was worried about the future that had suddenly changed.
‘I first met Yerin when I was at the Ilsan branch?’
Cha Ye-rin, who follows her older brother a lot, gets a job at the Ilsan Hunter Management Center right after graduating from high school.
It was to personally take care of Cha Seung-hoon.
‘After accumulating achievements as the Ilsan branch manager for a year, he met me.’
The two people who met as a manager and a hunter eventually become lovers and after six years of dating, they tie the knot.
‘Then, not long after, a coup occurred and we had to return.’
As he returned, Min Do-jun tried hard not to meet Cha Ye-rin.
Because not forming a relationship with her was the surest way to protect her.
‘The moment we left the Ilsan branch, the possibility of Yerin and I meeting was virtually gone. But why…?
Why did I meet Cha Ye-rin earlier than that?
And she did it by coming to his guild herself.
‘Is this why we’re connected like this because I became famous as a magician?’
It could be said that it was a fateful meeting, but it was not pleasant.
Because we weren’t supposed to meet yet.
‘This won’t do. All my efforts to keep my distance will go down the drain.’
As long as the threat is not over, I must not have any ties with her.
“Hunter Min Do-jun?”
Min Do-jun came to his senses at Cha Seung-hoon’s call.
“Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere…?”
“I’m fine, so please go back.”
“yes?”
When the sudden order to evacuate guests was given, Min Do-jun spoke again in a firm voice.
“You can’t join the guild, and I can’t give you any advice. You should just go back now.”
“Huh? Didn’t you say you could give me advice… … .”
“I have only one piece of advice for you: Find another job.”
“No, you said it was okay earlier… … .”
“I changed my mind.”
Cha Seung-hoon has an expression of incomprehension.
Just as I was about to ask for more, someone came into the office.
“Hunter Min Do-jun?”

It was Shin Hye-ri, Shin Kyung-min’s younger sister.
She looked back and forth between Cha Ye-rin and Min Do-jun and spoke cautiously.
“You have guests. Should I come back later?”
“No, there’s no need. I was just about to leave.”
When Min Do-jun said that, Cha Seung-hoon had no choice but to back down.
“Excuse me. Okay, that’s all.”
It was only after the two siblings disappeared from sight that Min Do-jun turned his attention to Shin Hye-ri.
“Did you come with Mr. Kyungmin?”
“No. I came alone.”
“What happened?”
“You saved my life twice, but I don’t think I’ve ever properly thanked you.”
“You don’t have to come and ask for that. You can just do it over the phone.”
“Hey, it’s rude to talk on the phone. You don’t even have a phone number to begin with… … .”
“You can ask Kyungmin for my number.”
“I want to receive it directly from the Hunter.”
Shin Hye-ri held out her cell phone and asked for her number.
Since I had no reason not to tell her, I gave her my number and Shin Hye-ri expressed her gratitude.
“Thank you for saving my life.”
“What? I just did what I had to do as a human being.”
“excuse me…….”
Shin Hye-ri asked cautiously if there was anything left to say.
“If you have time, I’d like to treat you to a meal as a token of my appreciation… … .”
“is it so.”
“Really?”
Shin Hye-ri’s face brightened as she accepted coolly.
“Shall we go now?”
“yes!”
* * *
“What? That guy?”
Cha Ye-rin, who was leaving the Guardian Guild, expressed her dissatisfaction with Min Do-jun.
“Why are you doing that to me, oppa?”
“I don’t know either.”
Cha Seung-hoon couldn’t figure it out either.
The reason why I was suddenly kicked out.
“I thought I could at least get some advice, but I didn’t expect to be treated so coldly… … .”
“Can’t you just go to another guild?”
“You know that. When it comes to magic swordsmen, there is no one stronger than Hunter Min Do-jun.”
“So you want to train to be a magic swordsman?”
“I thought so a little while ago, but now I don’t know.”
It was frustrating not knowing whether my own characteristics would be good for growing into a swordsman.
“But there’s something strange. Hunter Min Do-jun stared at you for a moment and then suddenly changed his mind. Why did that happen?”
“Well… … maybe my first impression wasn’t that great?”
“No. Rather, he had a blank expression on his face, as if he had fallen in love at first sight.”
“That can’t be true, Oppa. What would the #1 ranked hunter have to lose to a high school student like me… .”
“Well, if that was the case, I wouldn’t have been kicked out like this.”
It was something unknown.
Why was Min Do-jun staring at his younger sister?
“Let’s look for another guild, brother.”
“okay.”
Cha Seung-hoon, who was behind the wheel, started the engine.
So the two of them moved away from the Guardian Guild.
* * *
After having lunch at a restaurant with a nice atmosphere, the two walked down the street.
“How was the meal?”
“It was delicious.”
“thank god.”
Shin Hye-ri smiled with satisfaction at Min Do-jun’s answer, but that only lasted for a moment.
A heavy silence enveloped the two.
That makes sense, since the two didn’t really meet each other that often.
This was the first time the two of them had met alone.
‘What is this atmosphere… … . It feels just like I’m going back after a blind date… … .’
Shin Hye-ri put the back of her hand to her cheek as if her face was burning.
It wasn’t my first or second time on a blind date, but my heart was pounding as if it was broken.
‘You should tell me before we break up. That’s why we even arranged a meal together.’
The reason she came to see Min Do-jun was not just to express her gratitude.
It was to try to be brave for the first time in my life.
‘He’s the man who saved me twice. I’ve never found a man like him in my entire life.’
A person as strong as his own brother.
And someone who can always keep you safe.
The only person who fit that picky ideal type was definitely Min Do-jun.
‘If it weren’t for Dojun, I would already be dead.’
He could consider himself Min Do-jun’s, having saved his life twice when he should have already died.
‘It’s about having courage. You might get rejected… … .’
Wouldn’t it be better to confess and regret it rather than continue to be anxious?
“excuse me…….”
“Hye-ri.”
When Min Do-jun opened his mouth at the right moment to confess, Shin Hye-ri laughed awkwardly.
“Oh, go ahead.”
“When I went to college before, I told you I had something to say, right?”
“yes.”
“I’ll say what I was going to say then. Don’t like me.”
“yes……?”
Shin Hye-ri’s face turned red with embarrassment at the fact that her true feelings had been revealed.
Regardless, Min Do-jun continued speaking with an indifferent expression.
“I’m not as good a person as I look. If you get caught up in me, you’ll only get hurt.”
“ah…….”
Shin Hye-ri lowered her head when she was rejected without even having a chance to confess.
But then he raised his head again, perhaps feeling that it was not time to give up.
“Are you dating someone?”
“That’s not it.”
“Then I have a chance too… … .”
“I have someone I like.”
Min Do-jun blocked it coldly.
“So don’t like me.”
* * *
Min Do-jun, who broke up with Shin Hye-ri, returned straight home without stopping by the guild.
And I soaked in the bathtub to relieve my fatigue.
At the same time, I also organized my complex thoughts.
‘I never thought I’d meet Yerin there… … .’
I had intentionally kept my distance, but I never thought that our relationship would end up like this.
‘I’ve just kicked him out cold, so he won’t come back again.’
Not only Cha Ye-rin, but also Shin Hye-ri will not have feelings for her.
‘You did well. There’s nothing good about complicated relationships with women.’
In both his past and present life, Min Do-jun only looked at one woman.
‘If I didn’t have feelings for Yerin, I wouldn’t be taking revenge like this.’
The reason I’ve been running until now was to protect Cha Ye-rin.
I couldn’t let a single momentary mistake ruin it.
That was why Min Do-jun coldly struck him out.
‘Only until the revenge is over. Only until we are sure that the masterminds of the coup and the threat are gone.’
Until then, I plan to keep my distance from Cha Ye-rin.
Because the safest way to protect her was to not be tied down to herself.
Choaaaak-
Min Do-jun came out of the bathtub, dried himself, sat on the sofa, and turned on the TV.
As usual, I was watching the Hunter Channel to keep up with the trends in the hunter world when I heard some unexpected news.
[You may have heard this morning that an S-class dungeon has been created near Cheongnyangni Station.]
‘S-class dungeon?’
I found out a little late because I was having lunch with Shin Hye-ri.
[This dungeon is the third dungeon created in Korea, and is the ‘Black Castle’ dungeon with an estimated appropriate level of 4,000.]
‘what?’
The appearance of the pitch-black castle was something that Min Do-jun also predicted.
But I never thought it would show up the third time.
‘The Black Castle is the fourth dungeon to appear in Korea. The third dungeon to appear is a level 3,500 dungeon.’
Perhaps history was changing because Min Do-jun’s level rose faster than before the regression.
‘Well, I understand that the dungeons are created according to the level of the hunters… … .’
Does this mean that the dungeons that appear in the future may be different from before the return?
‘Before the return, a total of 5 S-class dungeons were created in Korea.’
There are now three, so there are two left.
‘The remaining two dungeons may be different from the ones in history.’
The level may change, but no additional dungeons will be created.
Because the number of dungeons increases as the area of the land increases.
[As new dungeons are created, S-class hunters are all eager to be the first to clear them. This is because of the achievements they receive when they are the first to clear a newly created dungeon… … .]
Min Do-jun hasn’t received the first strategy achievement yet.
Because the opportunity to be the first to conquer the newly created S-class dungeon wasn’t given easily.
That’s why I wasn’t even expecting it.
That’s what happened… … .
[The association is said to have already designated the first target for attack due to concerns about confusion.]
Jiiing-
