Jin Woo expected the question and replied calmly, More,

“It was there when I woke up.I don't know what happened" (his leg)

Song Chiyeol nodded.

Since the first day Gates appeared 10 years ago, many extraordinary things have happened in the world.

One of them is the phenomenon of the Resurrection, which is now called Hunters.

Amongst the S-rank-Healer-class Hunters, there were those who could fully recover the bodies of one's peers

the team whose body was torn apart.

As long as the victim still had a little bit of life left in them, they could be

whole back.

So it is not strange to think that some high-ranking healers have recovered legs

Jin Woo's.

“It's not right for a young man like you to be paralyzed.I'm grateful for that"

Song Chiyeol sighed in relief.

Jin Woo's eyes moved to the old man's left arm.

The arms covered were clearly empty.

Song Chiyeol laughed at his gaze and rubbed her left shoulder.

"Don't worry about this.It's normal for a Hunter my age to have an accident

when Raid.I'm only lucky if I've come this far before experiencing it”

Song Chiyeol spoke to calm Jin Woo's mind, but her words did not reach her

people who look at him.

"Geez, that guy ..."

"How terrible it is, it must be from a monster"

The passers-by whispered to each other after staring at his missing arm.

Some children stopped and stared blatantly.

Jin Woo hopes to save the man,

"Should we move somewhere quieter?"

There are too many people passing by here.

Feeling uneasy from their sight, Song Chiyeol nodded in agreement.

There were still some things he wanted to say to Jin Woo.

"Yes, that's good."

The two men tried to find a small corner to continue their conversation.

While walking, Song Chiyeol noticed something,

'Sung-ssi's footsteps ...'

Jin Woo's footsteps were very light.

Even standing right next to him, Song Chiyeol had trouble detecting the man's whereabouts.

How did this happen?

The veteran Hunter felt that if he and Jin Woo were to fight at this point, he didn't even

I will be able to touch that young man.

Even if he is a Rank-C Hunter, while Jin Woo is a Rank-E.

"What am I thinking now ..."

Song Chiyeol shook her head.

Nothing matters at the moment.

There's something he wants to say to Sung-ssi.

No, that's something to say.

After finding a suitable place, Song Chiyeol stopped and Jin Woo followed her.

Turning around to face him, Song Chiyeol lowered her head to Jin Woo before the young man

that could stop him.

“Sung-ssi.I have to thank you"

When the man old enough to be her father bows to her, Jin Woo

be bleak.

Even when the young man tried to stop him, Song Chiyeol did not give up and

continue by lowering his head even deeper.

“Eleven people died because of me.Thanks to you, six of us can live.Because of my responsibilities

was the toughest one in that place, I thank you on behalf of everyone"

Every word he spoke came out of his heart.

Even Jin Woo could feel the man's sincerity.

It was an unexpected situation, but Jin Woo did not feel bad.

Instead, he felt a little proud.

But he could not make the old man bow to him like this forever.

"Ahjussi, please lift your head."

Hearing the words begging Jin Woo, Song Chiyeol raised her head.

That's when the phone rings.

The old man apologized and turned around to pick him up.

"Okay.I'll be there"

Ending the call, Song Chiyeol's face hardened.

He turned towards Jin Woo,

"I have to go somewhere now."

The old man spoke as if he had personal affairs to take care of, but Jin Woo

he had heard the whole conversation through his ears.

Thanks to his heightened sense stat, his good hearing was naturally increasing.

The phone call just came from the Association, which told Song Chiyeol about Gates

appeared.

Worried about Jin Woo having just recovered, the old man hides this information and

trying to leave, but Jin Woo has no intention of letting this slip from his hands.

"That's an Association, right?"

"You ... You heard all that?"

The Association would summon all affiliated Hunters in an area in case of a Raid.

If Song Chiyeol is contacted, surely Jin Woo will too, if he has his phone.

This is the long-awaited call of Jin Woo.

"I'll go too."

"Young man…"

Song Chiyeol's eyes stared at Jin Woo quickly and were filled with defeat.

________________________________________

The two men arrived at their designated locations.

Since Gates had appeared in a residential area, the police were already there, to close the area.

However, it was only for formalities alone, as there were no noisy civilians watching it.

The Gates that the Association eventually took care of were those on the verge of Dungeon Break, though,

so people will automatically stay away if there is danger.

Moreover, they could not watch the battles of the Hunters in the Dungeon.

Every now and then, a curious child may approach it, but they will be evicted by the police.

Jin Woo and Song Chiyeol get off the taxi and are stopped by the police.

"Can you show me your identity?"

Song Chiyeol took out the Hunter license from her wallet.

Satisfied, the police let the couple through.

"We're in your care, Hunter-nims."

"We will do our best.Thank you for your service"

After exchanging a light greeting, the two began walking towards Gates.

Jin Woo walked behind the old man.

In front of Gates, an Associate employee was waiting.

It was a young woman with glasses.

He approached the couple,

“Hunter Song Chiyeol-nim! Huh huh? How did Hunter Sung Jinwoo-nim get here? You don't

picked up the phone"

Song Chiyeol answered him to Jin Woo,

"We were together when I got the phone"

"Oh, so? We just thought Hunter Sung Jinwoo-nim avoided that call again”

The employee smiled jokingly.

A long time ago, he must have been right.

After receiving a major injury during Raid, Jin Woo even turned off his phone out of fear.

However, he eventually had to give up and appear as refusing the Association's call three times would

result in spending.

Thinking about the past, Jin Woo smiled bitterly.

"Ah, really.The other hunters are already here.Why don't you go and greet them? "

The employee pointed to the other Hunter.

There were only two of them waiting.

After the incident in the Double Dungeon, the number of Hunters in the area greatly decreased.

According to Song ahjussi, the two surviving hunters even chose to retire due to trauma.

"And Juhee-ssi is one of them ..."

Jin Woo looks around but doesn't see Juhee.

As the two men approached, the Hunters who had come before them avoided his sight.

And Jin Woo's eyes narrowed.

'Of course…'

It was the two men who had left him while at the Holy Temple, Kim Sangshik and the man who had left him

dump Jin Woo's injured body to the ground.

It made sense that they avoided his gaze.

"Er,Sung-ssi ..."

Kim Sangshik gathered his courage and tried to make a late greeting, but

it was rejected by Jin Woo's cold eyes.

"..."

The man closed his mouth and walked away.

From a distance, he looked at Jin Woo and tilted his head.

‘Is he really the Sung Jinwoo I know? His eyes were fierce like wild beasts ... '

Kim Sangshik's body shuddered.

His arms were shaking violently.

It wasn't his fault, Jin Woo lightly put a killing intent in his view.

Fortunately, the man knew it and avoided it.

Jin Woo hopes he will continue to do so going forward.

"Sung-ssi,"

Song Chiyeol, who was standing next to Jin Woo, suddenly smiled.

"He's coming."

Jin Woo starts to turn his head in the direction he's going, but before he can fully,

"Jinwoo!"

Something soft hugged him tightly.

"Juhee-ssi?"

As Jin Woo panicked, Juhee examined his body with tears in her eyes.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt? Your leg! How's your leg-?"

Juhee looked back and forth between Jin Woo's face and legs in surprise.

The magnitude was different, but the response was the same as that of Song Chiyeol.

"Ah, that ..."

Jin Woo's explanation was interrupted by a loud noise,

“Ah,love young couple! Hot hot hot hot!"

A man in a prisoner's uniform whistled towards them, he just got out of the car.

"Are they filming near here?"

As Jin Woo stared in confusion, a man wearing a suit came out

from the passenger seat.

The man gave a stern warning to the prisoner,

"Shut your mouth"

The prisoner avoided his gaze and looked away.

While the man in the suit returned to the car, the prisoner winked at Juhee.

Jin Woo's forehead is wrinkled.

From the car, two additional men came out.

They were all dressed in prison uniforms and handcuffed.

The suitably tuned man led three prisoners towards the Association employees and the woman greeted him.

"You're finally here."

"sorry. There is a little traffic density on the road. "

The Association employee handed some papers to the man, and he began

sign them one by one.

Meanwhile, the Association's employees summoned all the Hunters who were there.

"These people are prisoners on a job release program who will join in

Raid with all the Hunter-nims"

So

The expressions of the Hunters went dark.

Kim Sangshik stepped forward, though,

“Detainees released? You're telling us to do a Raid with criminals? "

The hunter who commits a crime has two options.

Meet their sentences in prison or cooperate with the Association and reduce

their punishment.

Most choose the latter.

These criminals will be in the "job release" program".

The officer bowed in apology before the Hunters.

“I really have to apologize.The number of Hunters in our area reduced too drastically.

Association says we have no choice for now.Fortunately, Hunter from the Department

Hunter's surveillance will accompany you, so you don't have to worry"

Kim Sangshik asked suspiciously,

"Hunter HSD will come with us too?"
