“Aaaah! H-Human! There’s a person!”
Blame.
The moment she landed on the ground, screams from someone behind her echoed in her ears.
“Yura, are you crazy?! Oh, no, are you okay?!”
Immediately, a student, poking his head out from the 4th-floor window, shouted in disbelief.
It wasn’t just him. Other students who rushed over after hearing her scream were crowded around the window, checking on Eunha’s safety. All of them had pale faces, clearly shocked.
It was truly surprising. Jumping from the 4th floor to the 1st floor in one go—heights that an ordinary person wouldn’t dare attempt.
“…….,”
Instead of responding, Eunha lightly brushed off her unharmed body and stood up.
The loud sound of sirens covered the street. Police cars and fire trucks, which had just rushed to the scene, lined up. A moment when their flashing lights crossed the pedestrian crossing.
“Yura!”
Someone grabbed her wrist abruptly.
“W-Where are you going now? That’s where the gate has appeared.”
It was Yunho. He looked somewhat amazed at Eunha, who seemed ready to run towards the gate without hesitation.
“I know.”
Eunha effortlessly pulled her wrist out of his grasp without applying any force.
“So, we need to go.”
“Go? Why would Yura go there?”
Yunho looked at Eunha as if she were acting strangely.
“You just jumped from the 4th floor, right? I understand you’re an awakened being, but that doesn’t mean Yura isn’t a hunter.”
Yunho’s words left Eunha speechless.
The era where being an awakened meant being a hunter had ended. Now, even if you were awakened, you could have a profession other than a hunter.
Eunha was well aware of that.
“…….,”
Eunha lowered her gaze towards the apron she was wearing.
The academy logo prominently stamped in the middle of the apron. Right now, Yunho was probably seeing Eunha as just an ordinary peer attending the same academy.
In reality, Eunha was living such a life, trying to find what her mother had referred to as ‘my own life.’
While silently observing Eunha, who had closed her mouth, Yunho sighed softly and spoke.
“I understand your feelings, Yura. But even if you didn’t do such a reckless thing, the hunters will be dispatched soon. We just need to avoid them until they arrive.”
‘Even if you’re not a hunter, there are so many hunters in the world. There’s no need for you to buy trouble. As Hunter-nim said, the contract is already over, right?’
Thinking of Jaehee’s words, Eunha hesitated right there. The Eunha who had never hesitated once in front of the gate, hesitated for the first time.
“Let’s go. There’s nothing for us to do here.”
“But I-”
As Eunha, who had taken her eyes off the apron, was about to speak,
Beep beep—
Amidst the loud noise of sirens, the police cars around them began to part like the parting of the Red Sea, as if by a miracle.
“Wow, hunters! The hunters have come!”
“Where? Oh! It’s the Storm Guild, right?”
“What? Amazing! The Storm Guild? Is ‘Sentinel Ray’ here too?”
Click, click!
People who had halted their steps during evacuation took out their mobile phones to capture the hunters’ appearances, uploading them to their SNS accounts. Some even went as far as starting live broadcasts.
In addition, association agents who arrived after receiving reports and competing guilds that appeared as the gate auction intensified gradually gathered.
“See? Wasn’t I right?”
Yunho stood by Eunha’s side.
Without offering any response, Eunha gazed calmly at the scene before her.
As if it were a parade at an amusement park, the people who were once anxious now cheered and applauded as if nothing had happened. There was no tension or anxiety to be found, as if saying, “When was there ever any?”
Eunha remained in the same spot, unmoving, even after Yunho left.
About five hours later.
The surroundings returned to normal, as if it were a lie.
The cracks that distorted the air disappeared without a trace, and the police officers who were controlling the area gradually left.
Yunho was right. Nothing happened even though Eunha did nothing.
Everything returned so quickly and naturally, as if it were an illusion.
Eunha, who had returned to the academy building, leaned on the window frame, resting her chin on her hand, and silently watched the scene below. The dog grooming academy apron she had intended to discard was still worn around her.
“Wow! It’s the Storm Guild hunters!”
“Ah, it’s my first time seeing them in person.”
The Storm Guild hunters, who succeeded in closing the gate, were receiving a barrage of flashes from journalists and civilians who had gathered like a cloud.
“Can you please share a bit of the loot you obtained from this gate with our viewers?!”
“Haha, well. I can’t reveal everything, but… We got about three hero-grade items. Besides that, the haul includes monsters’ bodies and horns that haven’t been damaged much, carried by our carriers.”
He added that items other than hero-grade ones would be procured by the cooperative and outstanding crafting guild, ‘Hammer.’
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
