~ Prologue ~
“Hyoji, can I get some potions? I’m really in a hurry.”
Despite his pleading words, the man’s expression was extremely arrogant.
“You’ll give them to me, right?”
It was as if his face was saying, ‘You have no choice but to give me potions.’
Hyoji showed no expression as she looked at him.
She didn’t smile, nor did she get angry.
She simply stared at him quietly with cold eyes.
“You love me, don’t you?”
That was the final straw.
The man had reached the peak of arrogance, and whatever little affection remained completely disappeared.
“I can’t clear dungeons without the potions you make.”
“……”
“You probably have plenty of potions left. Give me some too.”
“Is that how you ask for a favor?”
At Hyoji’s cold voice, the man flinched slightly.
He sat with his legs crossed, his body sunk deep into the sofa. His eyes were lowered—yet his posture was still arrogant, as if he had forgotten his own situation.
In truth, he wasn’t in any position to act arrogant.
Once praised as a promising Hunter, he was now someone who couldn’t even properly clear a single dungeon.
“Try getting on your knees and begging. Who knows? I might feel sorry enough to toss you one.”
It was a voice he had never heard from her before.
The man blankly looked up at Hyoji’s face.
“Are you seriously acting all high and mighty toward me right now?”
“Yeah. I am.”
“You’ve got some nerve!”
“If you want my potions, you should be ready to beg like you’re about to lick my toes.”
As if she didn’t want to hear any more, Hyoji abruptly stood up.
Just looking at his face made her irritation rise.
“Oh, and from now on, don’t call my name so casually.”
“……”
“Starting today, I’m a Hunter.”
The man’s jaw dropped even further.
“Rather than giving potions to a Hunter like you, I’d rather become a Hunter myself.”
Because of her ex-boyfriend, Kim Hyun-min, Hyoji said something she didn’t even mean.
And if she had known her future would turn out like this because of those words…
[Breaking News. Hunter Jeon Hyoji from South Korea has become the new Rank 1.]
[World Hunter Ranking: No. 1]
[She has taken the position from Hunter Kang Jinhwan, who had firmly held first place.]
If she had known…
She would have never said those words.
