Regression Of The Dating Sim Player

Chapter 82

34. Change (3)

“And….”

As the story seemed to leak too far, Baek Hae-Won cut off the flow and winked at Ye-Hyeon.

Ye-Hyeon tapped Yoon Seung-Jae on the shoulder and made eye contact with the party members individually.

“I’ve decided to take charge of the briefing that Hunter Baek Hae-Won has been in charge of in the future. Even if it’s not enough, I’ll try my best, so please understand. It’s new, but I look forward to your kind cooperation. Thank you, Hunter Baek Hae-Won, for all this time.”

The briefing was originally up to the leader, but it was normal to leave it to Baek Hae-Won for the time being due to the uniqueness of the party consisting of only new hunters. When Ye-Hyeon contacted him on holiday, Baek Hae-Won seemed to intend to do so.

However, Ye-Hyeon said, “I want to take charge.” Initially, if Baek Hae-Won were recruited to the party, he would let him do his current work, but it was because he was shocked when Shin Do-Gyeom pointed him out.

Baek Hae-Won was concerned but readily confirmed. In addition, he even readily offered to help prepare for the briefing.

‘He may be considering monitoring me with the briefing as an excuse, but I appreciate it.’

When Ye-Hyeon said hello awkwardly, Baek Hae-Won smiled slightly and nodded as if he was doing well.

“I’m not a mentor anymore, but I’ll continue to help you as a party member and senior Hunter. Nothing much will change, so don’t worry.”

Baek Hae-Won added affectionately.

Ye-Hyeon stood up after staring at Baek Hae-Won’s gentle smile.

“……let’s go.”

Ye-Hyeon hid his left arm behind her back. It was uncomfortable from the moment he came out of the changing room because Shin Do-Gyeom kept staring at his left arm.

This time, they need to deal with Root Bloom, a plant-type monster. Root Bloom looked like a bunch of green stems the size of a human body tangled together and soaring into the sky.

Whenever Ye-Hyeon saw Root Bloom, he thought of a huge beanstalk in an old fairy tale.

Crack. Crack.

Whenever Root Bloom twisted a huge body, a small root like a thorn sprang out of the floor and disappeared.

The thorn attacks that stretched out in all directions were weak in killing power, but if you brushed it even a little, your body would be pushed far away.

“Oh, it’s annoying.”

Yoon Seung-Jae, who has already been attacked three times, raised himself with a grunt. With Yoon Seung-Jae’s reflexes, he could avoid Root Bloom’s attack as much as possible, but the ground was so soft that he could not take off as much as he wanted. In addition, Root Bloom’s roots hurt the environment, so if you let your guard down a little, you can fall into the ground almost to your calves.

To kill Root Bloom, they had to destroy the core of the stem, which was difficult to access because of the thorn, so it was annoying.

Shin Do-Gyeom shot his arrow as a test and clicked his tongue. Shin Do-Gyeom’s arrow was stuck in the middle without penetrating the stem.

Root Bloom’s trunk was full of fiber, making it difficult to penetrate at once with a physical attack.

If it’s Baek Hae-Won, he can finish it with his eyes closed, right? Because he has firepower.

It was when Ye-Hyeon glanced at Baek Hae-Won, who was watching the battle situation with envy.

The ground trembled with a heavy sound. The sound could not come out unless the Root Bloom collapsed.

“Ha ha….”

Ye-Hyeon turned his head in a hurry and burst out laughing.

Yoon Seung-Jae was picking up a rock the size of a house and throwing it on the floor. He applied the method he used to deal with Scream Raven.

A stepping stone quickly formed on the floor. Yoon Seung-Jae and Kwon Joo-Ho stepped over the rock and approached the monster quickly. Both of them were fast.

Bang!

The Root Bloom’s stem bent and tried to weigh down Yoon Seung-Jae.

“Oh my god!”

The weight must have been unusually heavy, but Yoon Seung-jae raised his shield and was quite relaxed, even though he was slightly shaken. Compared to the last dungeon, his sense of stability has increased noticeably.

Ye-Hyeon opened Yoon Seung-Jae’s status window in response to his rapid growth.

Name: Yoon Seung-Jae

Age: 19

Level: 42

Job: Guardian of Hope (S)

Title: Grade D Hunter (D), New Hunter (F)

Skill: Holy Shield (S), Unbreakable Will (S) (passive), Desperate Ring (A) (Unlearned)

Condition: Normal

He learned the second skill, right? Yoon Seung-Jae’s passive skill, “Unbreakable Will,” was a skill that increased defense in proportion to his will. As it is an S-class passive, it will feel good.

Ye-Hyeon looked at Yoon Seung-Jae with his lips pressed and smiled happily.

‘No Wonder, you looked confident.’

He seemed in high spirits because he had acquired a new skill.

While Yoon Seung-Jae competed with Root Bloom, Kwon Joo-Ho was on a thick stem and slashed the tightly intertwined body. The trajectory of the sword was bolder and rougher than before.

“Is it Kwon Joo-Ho?”

Name: Kwon Jooho

Age: 26

Level: 46

Job: Immortal Inspection (S)

Title: Grade D Hunter (D), New Hunter (F)

Skill: Periodic absorption (S) (passive), sword dance of despair (A), sword of destruction (S) (unlearned)

Condition: Normal

Kwon Joo-Ho and Yoon Seung-Jae thought it was time to learn new skills, but he didn’t expect them to learn new ones simultaneously.

<Skill: Periodic absorption (S)>

Restores a certain amount of HP when attacking.

Ye-Hyeon’s neat eyebrows furrowed. It was an unkind explanation all the time.

Shin Do-Gyeom’s arrow hit through the gap Kwon Joo-Ho made. It sounded like a piece of glass breaking,

When the core was destroyed, Root Bloom twisted the heavy stem as if it were screaming silently and soon drooped.

“Get out of the way!”

As soon as Yoon Seung-Jae got rid of one, he ran to the next monster. Hunters hurriedly avoided Yoon Seung-Jae when he threw a large rock over his head.

Root Bloom appeared in a cluster of ten like a colony. It doesn’t matter how many come out because you can deal with them individually if you kill them from the edge, but it usually takes a long time to kill one, so the dungeon with Root Bloom usually needs three parties. Is it because they got a new skill? The speed is no joke?’

Ye-Hyeon, who was watching the battle, admired it in his heart.

Unlike Grave Dog, Root Bloom is a large monster that cannot attack cooperatively—even considering that Ye-Hyeon’s party is not in harmony, they are fighting the monster comfortably. Their performance was remarkable.

They seemed more skillful than the other two more experienced parties. Nobody would believe them if they told them this was only their second time attempting to clear a gate.

Usually, when multiple parties were assigned to one route, the weaker party stayed in the back. Even though Ye-Hyeon’s party was the 3rd party, they were helping other parties after completing his quota.

The other hunters seemed embarrassed about receiving help.

As expected, the S-Class is different.

Ye-Hyeon didn’t do anything, but he was proud.

They should be able to go to the B-Class gate soon. They only need to learn how to deal with the boss monster.

If they level up at the B-class hate and learn a third skill, they can reach the A-Class gate soon.

Doesn’t this make them a ranker,

Just imagining it makes Ye-Hyeon’s heart race. There was no need to worry about money anymore, even if he went up to the B-class gate.

‘Oh, I’m going to see the monster.’

Unknowingly Ye-Hyeon began observing the party members and then the monsters. He keeps repeating this action over and over again.

Ye-Hyeon isn’t aware of it, but he has the habit of looking at the party members, not the monsters. It would be hard to change the habit he already formed.

‘I’m sure I memorized the pattern of the attack pattern…….’

Even though Ye-Hyeon put all the data he received from Baek Hae-Won inside his head, he couldn’t read when the Root Bloom would be attacking.

“So when you shake the leaf, the thorn goes from the outside to the inside….” Ye-Hyeon got it wrong again.’

Ye-Hyeon bit his lower lip. It didn’t shake the leaf but twisted its body to the right.

Ye-Hyeon was able to figure it out only after the attack began. It’s not like he has a reflex to avoid an attack, but if he can’t predict it, there is no answer.

‘What am I supposed to do? What can I do?’

Ye-Hyeom became more nervous as he kept going off, trying to read the monster’s movements.

Ye-Hyeon was waiting outside the range of Root Bloom. The more he vowed not to be a burden, the more Ye-Hyeon felt like a burden.

‘…it’s light, so if it’s dark, will it go further?’

Ye-Hyeon suddenly recalled Seo Soo-Hee when he saw the shadow of a monster on the floor. Seo Soo-Hee’s availability was influenced by the flame created by Baek Hae-Won.

‘Do I have to practice considering my surroundings?’Ye-Hyeon looked tired.

“It’s a half-hour break.”

Ye-Hyeon sighed deeply and sat down. He used his head nonstop for hours, and his temples ached.

“It’s a relief that my level went up well.”’

Ye-Hyeon was level 20 when he came inside the gate in the morning, but he was already level 22. It was thanks to the fact that the experience error was corrected to all targets were registered to obtain 100% of the experience value. It felt like he was almost doubling exp fast.

‘If only the error had been corrected sooner. No, at least it is fixed now.’

Ye-Hyeon took a breath, trying to accept it as positively as possible.

“You should’ve moved away from that earlier.”

“The monster tried to hide the nucleus.”

“I can do enough before that.”

Next to him, Shin Do-Gyeom and Kwon Joo-No were discussing fiercely. It was a general view, but today it was a little different.

“Joo-Ho Hyung, if you follow me too fast, attacking is uncomfortable. I don’t know where you are because you didn’t give me any signals.”

Yoon Seung-Jae was also involved, and the three of them were talking. It was an unfamiliar scene.

“……why are they suddenly getting along well?”

Ye-Hyeon asked Baek Hae-Won calmly.

Baek Hae-Won smiled sweetly as if he had heard something funny.

“Ye-Hyeon contributed a lot.”
