S-Class Except Me

“If I win, you register as a hunter tomorrow and follow me for the dungeon raid.” 

Haeun frowned.

She can’t believe he was talking about the raid even though she said this. Does Jung Eunwoo not have the ability to empathize? Is he curious about Haeun’s reason? 

“From now on, as an Awakener and as a Hunter, swear that you will not turn away from your responsibilities and do your best.”

“Now I’m about to get really annoyed.”

Haeun stared at Jung Eunwoo fiercely.

“Then what if I win? If I win, can I do whatever I want?”

“No, even if you win.”

Haeun frowned. Jung Eunwoo said without a change in expression.

“You can easily do something that can only be done with dozens or hundreds of people sticking to it. I’m not saying you have to raid dungeons day and night. But if anyone needs help, never turn a blind eye.”

“Ha. Okay.”

Haeun raised her eyes, and threw the twig that Eunwoo had passed over onto the floor. She was more accustomed to moving with her body than lifting a piece of wood like this. Haeun froze as she loosened her wrists.

“And add one more to it. If I win, Oppa will get 10 finger flicks. I’m going to make a pretty hole in your forehead today.”

“Can you beat me?”

The eyes of Jung Eunwoo, who had been laughing at each other, became serious.

Whoosh—.

Jung Eunwoo aimed at Haeun’s head from the start. Haeun ducked behind him and avoided his body. The spot where the attack passed was lightly scattered with traces.

Haeun leaned back and bounced back on the ground with her hands. She tumbled back and aimed at Jung Eunwoo’s chin with her feet at the same time.

When Jung Eunwoo narrowly avoided the attack, Haeun laughed. 

“That’s a fake, though.”

As soon as her feet touched the ground, she lowered her body and hit Jung Eunwoo’s ankle. 

“Ugh.” 

Jung Eunwoo, who was hit by the ankle bone properly, frowned and shook his leg. His battered ankle tingled as if it had been hit by a stone rather than a foot. But there was no time to examine his ankles.

Whoosh—.

Haeun’s foot passed right in front of him. As Jung Eunwoo opened his eyes, his hair fluttered. When the attack failed, Haeun bounced back and stepped back.

The two glared at each other, poised as if they were about to attack again.

“Uh, everyone. Stop fighting!”

Jung Jinho, who followed Haeun, shouted. But Haeun, who was already mad at him, couldn’t hear it. Jung Eunwoo turned his head away as if he was deliberately ignoring him. 

Jung Jinho shouted out loud.

“Jung Eunwoo! Can’t you hear Dad!”

The energy of an S-Class Awakener was already all around. It is also an attack class that is considered to be the strongest in classification.

No matter how much this place is a pension near the uninhabited gate, isn’t it possible to be discovered if they fight while showing their strength from the outside! 

Tak–.

Haeun stepped up high. Haeun, who flew lightly into the air, turned around and swung his foot.

Jung Eunwoo shrewdly avoided the sharp attack that came in, aimed at the neck. And he instantly changed directions and pushed Haeun away. The branch Jung Eunwoo was holding broke in two.

Boom!

The ground shook as if it had been an earthquake. Jung Jinho was frightened and shouted.

“Jung Eunwoo! Are you going to kill your sister!”

“…It will be Hyung who dies.” 

Jung Sehyun muttered and at the same time, Haeun stood up in the dust.

“Ha, Jung Eunwoo.”

A rustle came out. Haeun’s eyes were bloody.

It seemed that Haeun was determined to kill the first child.

Jung Eunwoo swallowed his saliva without realizing it. 

Jung Eunwoo, an experienced fighter, had much more combat experience. However, the spirit felt by Haeun overwhelmed him. Even if the attack was sloppy, the power more than made up for it, so the ground vibrated every time Haeun swung her kick.

Even though she has this ability, she has been hiding her power for a long time.

So what on earth is her reason? 

The trauma of the gym incident? it could be. However, every hunter lives with big and small traumas.

For Jung Eunwoo, the difficult rescue of his younger sister that day served as an opportunity for him to change his attitude toward his younger sister and to lash out at himself. 

And above all, Haeun should have confessed to her family and asked for help, not hiding her worries. That’s why there’s a family. Help and rely on each other when having a hard time!

Swoosh.

Jung Eunwoo got into position.

After the moment of being wary of each other, Haeun and Jung Eunwoo rushed toward each other. Lee Yoonkyung was angry when the fight didn’t stop. 

“You guys! Can’t you stop?! Sehyun, hold on to your sister and brother.”

“What?”

“Hurry!”

For a moment, Haeun’s body groaned as if caught in a net. The same was true of Jung Eunwoo, who was running towards Haeun. Haeun rolled her eyes. 

Jung Sehyun’s eyes were dyed purple. 

His body doesn’t move. It was as if someone had grabbed Haeun’s brain and manipulated it. It was strange and creepy. And most of all, the idea that others were controlling her behavior made her feel very bad. 

Haeun’s body trembled.

“This… don’t annoy me!”

Bang—! 

“Cough.”

Haeun forcibly cut off the control that restrained her. Jung Sehyun stumbled with the reaction. Lee Yoonkyung freaked out and helped Jung Sehyun.

“Sehyun-ah! Are you okay?”

“Cough… That’s why I can’t stop Noona with my abilities.” 

It was only Haeun who was released from control. Jung Eunwoo couldn’t move when he saw Haeun running at him with frightening speed. 

Instinctive senses were sending Jung Eunwoo a tingling warning. This is dangerous.

An ominous golden light shone in Haeun’s eyes.

Just before Haeun’s fist hit Jung Eunwoo in the face, Jung Eunwoo’s ability to feel threatened with survival was suddenly turned on. 

Boom, boom, boom! 

The lightning struck and the surroundings exploded at the same time.

“Haeun-ah! Cough, cough.”

Jung Jinho coughed. Heavy dust was blowing in the aftermath of the explosion. Lee Yoonkyung stamped her foot. 

“Haeun-ah! Haeun-ah! Eunwoo, that guy is really! What if your sister gets hurt!” 

“Mom, look over there!”

When the wind blew away the dust that was blocking the view, Jung Eunwoo was lying on the floor and Haeun was on top of him.

Haeun’s fist passed right next to Jung Eunwoo’s face and was stuck to the ground. Starting from the place where the fist was pierced, the ground split in a radial pattern. It looked like an earthquake had occurred.

But it was something else that shocked the family.

“Oh, my.”

Lee Yoonkyung covered her mouth. Jung Jinho was speechless.  Jung Sehyun still made a sign for Jung Eunwoo.

Even Jung Eunwoo, who was on the ground, opened his eyes wide with surprise.

[The constellation ‘Mutant of the Abyss’ declares the death of Jung Eunwoo at 19:27 on August 26, saying that this is impossible to deal with.] 

Haeun, feeling ominous, stammered and grabbed her hair.

“My hair!!!”

The lion’s roar exploded.

“What to do with my hair!! You burned them all!!”

Jung Eunwoo, who felt threatened at the last minute, protected his body, causing a huge static electricity.

And in the aftermath, Haeun’s long straight hair, which she cherished, swelled up. To put it nicely, it was like a cat with a lot of fur, and to put it badly, she had an afro. 

“Hey!!!” 

A power that was incomparable to before began to overflow. Haeun caught Jung Eunwoo by the collar while glaring at him.

“Do you want to die? What are you going to do, my hair!!”

Jung Eunwoo was flustered as well, so he was helplessly shaken by Haeun’s gestures.

Haeun’s eyes overflowed with flesh and blood.

“The enemy of my hair!!! I’ll kill you!”

“H, hey. You’re alive now… cough.” 

Haeun tried to strangle Jung Eunwoo and Jung Eunwoo tried to stop Haeun. Haeun and Jung Eunwoo fell side by side and rolled on the floor. A thick layer of dust flew. 

Bang! 

Again, she had her fists on the ground. The impact that seemed to reverberate all the way to the mountain made the birds fly away. Haeun raised her fist again while scattering the stone fragments. Jung Eunwoo reflexively closed his eyes. 

He’ll get one hit! 

“….?” 

Tears were falling from Haeun’s eyes. A lukewarm tear streamed down Jung Eunwoo’s face.

Haeun twisted her face and sobbed.

“Oppa is really the worst.” 

“You…” 

“I mean, I didn’t do that on purpose. I wanted to save them too. Uh, I didn’t even know I was the only one alive.” 

Jung Eunwoo closed his mouth. Haeun was talking about the day.

Emotions that once exploded flowed out without knowing control.

“It’s too easy for me, huh. The monster dies just by breathing. So I think I’ll be able to save them out of there… because I, I’m an idiot…” 

“Hey.” 

Surprised, Jung Eunwoo jumped up and grabbed Haeun’s head and pulled it over his shoulder. As soon as his body temperature reached Haeun, she started crying more sorrowfully.

“Hnnng. I didn’t do it on purpose, uh-huh, it’s not like that.” 

As Haeun sat down on Jung Eunwoo, big tears came out of her eyes and soaked Jeong Eunwoo’s shirt. 

“If I could turn back time, I would never do that.” 

She wouldn’t have run wild like an idiot, and she wouldn’t have had the courage to say that she could solve everything. They must have just hid from the monsters and quietly waited for rescue.

Then maybe more people could have survived.

She still regrets it terribly. Perhaps Haeun will have to live with the burden in her heart for the rest of her life.

Jung Eunwoo, who raised his hand over Haeun’s head, stroked Haeun’s hair in a panic. 

“Hey, I’m sorry. Don’t cry.”

“Tc. really. Uhh, I really hate Jung Eunwoo. You always make a bad, heukh, guy.”

“Okay. I’m sorry. I misunderstood.”

“If I register Hunter, hhh, I’ll do what I can.”

“Yeah, okay.”

The fight between the two had already ended.
