The S-Classes That I Raised

Chapter 160

Chapter 160 The Sea of Fog Family (1)

The question about childhood memories did not suit the situation, and Hyunjae Sung opened his mouth as he sent a small amount of electricity to the ground.

“Schedule an interview with my PR team, and I may have some time around next year.”

“That’s a pity.”

Hyunjae Sung showed his disappointment at the thing’s answer.

“Have you copied only his countenance?”

The conversation bored him, and Hyunjae Sung felt Eveline and other hunters’ presence through the current. While their positions differed from when they were shrouded by the fog, they were still nearby. The reason they were quiet was that the sound was blocked.

“Don’t I look completely the same? You recognized me quickly, by the way.”

“He would tell me that I was late without mentioning he had sneaked away.”

Yoojin Han would say things like even the Sesung Guild Leader cannot beat the traffic or where was the helicopter, and then try to use Hyunjae Sung as much as he could. He would do so to the maximum while never stepping out of the line.

“Find someone less busy if you’re going to bother me since I cannot be late. Visit the Sesung Guild homepage for my profile. The basics are there.”

Hyunjae Sung’s eyes were cold, and they were saying that he found the current situation trivial.

“You’re treating me badly when he’s a favorite to you.”

“You would need to at least respond similarly to raise my interest.”

Golden chains appeared to end the conversation, and Luga Peya, the filial addict wearing Yoojin Han’s shell, narrowed his eyes.

“Don’t you remember the original owner of that chain? They would not be yours without reason.”

“Are you talking about that crescent moon? I see him two to three times a year.”

“Two to three times? Are you the one being called?”

“Do I need to say to raise your head and see the sky?”

“The sky?”

“It seems that you don’t have a moon nearby.”

Hyunjae Sung muttered that the talk was lacking as his fingers moved lightly. The ends of the chain shot into Yoojin Han’s chest, at the place where the stone had been. The chain wrapped around Yoojin Han’s neck after penetrating his back, and while the bloody scene was terrible, Yoojin Han’s face was indifferent.

Hyunjae Sung did not like that attitude, and it annoyed him.

“I sincerely miss the real one.”

“Do you have childhood memories? Were you ever a child?”

“I don’t know why you keep asking me, but I was a cute and handsome child. Can’t you guess from looking at me?”

The real Yoojin Han would grimace and complain at those words, but nod saying that truth was the truth. However, the fake observed Hyunjae Sung.

“Has it been planted instead of being moved? Or…”

After that murmur, Yoojin Han disappeared, and a faint jellyfish-like being appeared.

“I want to ask the Crescent Moon directly, but it can’t be done. I do need to investigate deeper. This world is full of unexpectedly strange things…”

A bolt of golden lightning crashed down like the conversation should end at this point.

***

The dark blue giant, Seokwon Choi, tried to stand straight. Each stumble made the asphalt crack and the building crumble.

“That’s an SS class! Be careful! Riette, don’t rush at it.”

While his optimized skills were at S class, one did not know whether there were new skills.

‘The waiting time for the sharing skill is not over yet.’

I had used it exactly a week ago and still needed twelve hours. It seemed that even if that was an SS class, the way it reacted to Riette’s tackle made me think that the situation may be manageable.

We may try, and if something’s not right, we should endure the situation until the waiting time was over. I wish Yerim was here, and what was taking Hyunjae Sung so long? I should call Seonghan Kim if the situation warrants it. Maybe Ms. Hyuna and the Hanshin Guild Leader may be called. I did not know whether they had gone into a dungeon since I had been blocked from information for the last few days.

“Riette and Soyoung…”

I had to stop because Yoohyun had grabbed me.

“Hey, what are you doing?!”

“I want to ask you the same thing. I would need to evacuate you first.”

Yoohyun spoke to Taewon Song, and I remembered that he only had some of his memories back. He would see me as a barely awakened F class, and everything I did would look strange to him.

“Yoohyun, I have an L class damage nullifying item.”

“What?”

My brother’s eyes widened at my voice.

“There’s an item like that?”

“For my use only, which means that I’m the safest person here.”

Yoohyun’s expression was still disbelieving at my words, and Taewon Song added his own explanation.

“Mr. Yoojin Han is right, and he has been involved in an A class dungeon conquest and cleaning up a dungeon break. This is not new to him.”

Did he really need to say that much?

“What…”

Yoohyun bit into his lips at Taewon Song’s words, and he looked like he had taken a deep shock.

“An F class…and I just left you like that? Really?”

“Yoohyun…”

“What was I doing at that time?”

“You had been protecting me, of course.”

I spoke as calmly as I could since Yoohyun would feel some confusion at the dramatic changes. Two more S class hunters at Haeyeon, the breeding facility, Myeongwoo, Noah, and the relationship with Sesung…maybe I did not need to talk much about Hyunjae Sung.

“You acted as my bodyguard until recently. You used an item to change your appearance so we could go about it together. What did you do with the glasses?”

Noah had told me he had used it to meet Seokwon Choi, but I could not see it anywhere.

“…I put it in the inventory since I did not know what it was. So…we were together.”

“Yes. Put me down first.”

Seokwon Choi was not moving much like he had not adjusted to his size yet, but we could not just stand by and watch. Yoohyun hesitated but put me down. I looked up at his confused face.

“I’ll repeat this again, but I won’t be injured. I might get scratches at the most since there’s a minimum on the damage nullifying effect. You’re the one in more danger here, and do you know how to use the blue willow leaves?”

“What?”

“You can step on them and can use it as a flying skill. There may be benefits if you get used to it.”

“I can do that?”

Yoohyun looked happy despite himself and then composed his expression. He really had wanted a skill like that, and I also explained about Irin. I used my teacher’s skill to explain the sensations from weaponizing the flames of the fairies as specifically as possible.

The giant started moving slowly, and he took a step.

“I cannot let it escape from the barricade.”

Taewon Song spoke after taking out his phone.

“I’ll extend the evacuation radius as much as I can.”

“Please also call Mr. Seonghan Kim and tell him to wait outside the barricade. Can we call Hanshin and Breaker?”

“The Hanshin Guild Leader is currently in a dungeon conquest, and the Breaker Guild Leader is overseas at the moment to bid on monsters.”

When did Hyuna Moon go overseas? Yoohyun intervened in our conversation.

“Seonghan Kim will not be much help against an SS class.”

“He became an S class.”

Yoohyun’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Does that mean Haeyeon has two S class hunters?”

“Three.”

“What?”

“Including Peace, four.”

“What’s peace?”

Why did that bastard Seokwon Choi steal his memories and made everything new to him? Noah turned to a dragon, and Riette quickly moved to the back of the dragon and crouched to jump like a leopard.

-Oh, this is hard.

The black dragon’s teeth scratched the dark blue armor, but it ended in mere scratches. Riette circled in the air and stomped on the giant’s body with four feet. The giant went on one knee to make a round hole, and while the pillar-like arm swung to the dragon, Riette moved with surprising speed.

-I can do this since he is slow now, but things will go to hell when he becomes faster.

Riette spoke calmly, and maybe I really did need to buy some time until…wait.

“Riette, Ms. Soyoung! What’s the rate on your stats added on by the Dragon Rider skill?”

“About sixty percent!”

Soyoung Kang spoke in a loud voice. It was low compared to how well they were acting together.

“Ms. Soyoung! Don’t block this skill! You too, Rietter.”

I used my teacher’s skill to connect their senses together, and they both stopped moving before shouting in surprise.

-Look at this! Darling, what did you do?

“It’s a hundred percent! I have all of Riette’s stats! Mr. Yoojin Han, I love you!

-Soyoung, you should become an S class faster!

“It will be amazing then. I can hardly wait!

Maybe you should slow things down a little. I used my teacher’s skill just in case, but it had worked more effectively than my expectations. The giant rolled his feet with a screeching sound.

The ground shook, and Yoohyun supported me when I was about to fall. The ground shook again, and rock pillars shot out in lines. Riette was avoiding all of them, but I thought that she was being pushed in one direction.

It was then when Riette was blocked by a thick rock wall. She could easily break or cut it, but that was when there were no obstacles.

-Hey!

The giant’s hand grabbed Riette’s tail, and while the poisonous thorns scratched and oozed poison on his hand, Seokwon Choi was indifferent as he dragged the dragon to him.

“You…”

Yoohyun looked back at me as he jumped out in reflex.

“I have Mr. Noah with me, so don’t worry. He’s a healer.”

Yoohyun nodded with some anxiety, and I saw blue willow leaves flutter as he grabbed Taewon Song to jump upwards.

They went over the wall in a moment, and I saw Riette struggling against the giant’s grasp amidst the loud noises. Yoohyun opened his mouth.

“While his stats are SS class, the giant being that whole probably means that the armor itself may be a skill.”

Taewon Song nodded in understanding, and I saw black shadows in his hands as Yoohyun let him go. As Taewon Song dropped down quickly, Yoohyun’s eyes turned red. Irin’s body burst up and became a massive spear of flames.

Taewon Song landed on the giant’s arm, and the black shadows circled around the armor. The range was small, and the spear was thrown to that small target. He had been standing by at the very last moment to use the looting skill to the maximum, and Taewon Song stepped back with slight burns. At almost the same time, the flaming spear went through the weakened spot.

The red flames swirled up, and it melted the armor to go in before bursting with heat. The giant’s arm became rags, and Riette used invisible blades to cut the arm and surrounding rock walls and pillars.

The giant stepped back with a lost arm, and Soyoung Kang spoke.

“It regenerated.”

It did, in an instant. The entire body needs to be crushed at once, maybe. Should we buy time until morning, or…I stared at Taewon Song, who had been treated by Noah for his burns.
