Gwanak-gu, Seoul.
This place, famous for being ho to the Seoul Holder Academy, also has another building known as a local landmark.
The Clan Tower.
A large clan that boasts two S-grade Holders, and a rising clan that most young Holders want to join recently.
Befitting a clan that has steadily built its reputation since its founding, the scale and design of the clan tower were also magnificent.
And in the corridor inside that magnificent building.
“I’m here to see the Vice Master.”
As soon as he sees the woman with a snow-white snowflake-like style, a clan mber imdiately bows his head.
The youngest S-grade Holder.
The only S-grade Holder in the assassination category in Korea.
Although she has now lost those two titles to a man, she is still considered the best in the assassination category in Korea.
And gradually… A woman who seems to be more suited to the title of Vice Master.
It was S-grade Holder, Yoo Eun-seol.
“Hmm… You’re Holder An Se-rin from Hunting Team 5, right?”
To Yoo Eun-seol’s question after a mont’s thought, the greeting clan mber asks back in surprise.
“Y-Yes! How did you know my na…?”
“Of course I know. You’re our clan mber. You were from the forr Titans, right?”
“Th-That’s right. Wow, wow….”
At that mont, An Se-rin’s eyes filled with admiration and respect.
She never thought that soone of Yoo Eun-seol’s caliber would rember her.
Even in the sa clan, there’s clearly a difference in status between clan mbers.
People at the level of master and vice master of are figures who control the dostic Holder world with their re existence.
The fact that one of them morized her na and rembered the entire recruitnt process… It felt like an infinite honor to An Se-rin.
That’s how trendous the impact of the na Yoo Eun-seol was.
Both within and outside the clan.
Yoo Eun-seol, who had been looking at An Se-rin, spoke slowly with a faint smile.
“We’re preparing various self-help asures so that Holders from rged clans don’t feel left out within the clan. Still, there might be sothing the leadership is missing, so if Holder An Se-rin has any discomfort, please actively voice your opinion.” Ṝ�
Recently, has been expanding in earnest by rging clans.
and .
These were clans that had previously worked together as subordinate rcenary clans, and through this rger, they were able to recruit a large number of archer and warrior-type Holders, which had been considered lacking in .
As with any type of rger, it’s not easy for the old group to assimilate into the new group.
Conflicts can arise in this process, and various noises can occur.
The leadership and operations team were paying maximum attention to these points, creating a clan atmosphere so that mbers from rged clans wouldn’t feel left out.
Thanks to this smooth operation, even the mbers from the forr clans didn’t express any particular complaints.
And to this explanation from Yoo Eun-seol, clan mber An Se-rin also waved her hands vigorously.
“Not at all! Really not at all! It’s very comfortable and good! And master is also treating us so well….”
…But was it because she was treated too comfortably?
From An Se-rin’s mouth-
An unnecessary, ‘by the way’ comnt popped out.
Yoo Eun-seol’s eyebrow twitched for a mont as she was about to pass by.
“Have you… Seen Jae-hyun?”
“Do Jae-hyun…? Ah, ah! Yes! On the day of the rger, he personally visited the forr Titans clan mbers and encouraged us.”
“…I see.”
Her voice tone had sohow lowered slightly.
However, An Se-rin, not noticing this change in Yoo Eun-seol, got excited on her own and continued speaking.
“Yes! Master seems to be a really, really warm person. Even though I only t him once, he was so kind and considerate that I could feel it all. And just like how you, Vice Master, rembered my na just now, he morized the nas of all our clan mbers one by one. My na too… Hehe. Oh! He also conducted one-on-one interviews, and up close, he’s really handso…”
“Holder An Se-rin?”
“Yes, yes?”
An Se-rin, who had been talking endlessly, suddenly asked back in confusion at the voice interrupting her.
Co to think of it, she hadn’t been paying attention to the Vice Master.
She had been talking while only thinking about the master, not seeing the expression on Yoo Eun-seol’s face in front of her.
And…
The Vice Master’s face she faced again was only infinitely cold.
“Aren’t you going to work?”
“…Pardon?”
“Is Hunting Team 5 this leisurely during work hours?”
“Ah, no! I, I’ll take my leave then!”
An Se-rin, sensing the chilly atmosphere, imdiately answered.
Sothing was strange.
She felt that if she stayed like this, she would surely face trouble.
So she kept bowing her head and, while carefully watching the situation, passed through the corridor as quickly as possible.
And Yoo Eun-seol, who had been quietly watching this scene.
She montarily hit her head against the wall with a thud.
Then she let out a deep sigh.
“What am I doing, really.”
Why on earth was I acting like this?
Why was I getting angry at an ordinary clan mber who knew nothing?
Sohow…
She felt an intense self-loathing.

“Puhahaha.”
31st floor of the Clan Tower.
In the luxurious lounge that only senior clan mbers and above could enter.
Inside, Nah Hye-rin, who had been listening to the whole story, laughed for a long ti.
Yoo Eun-seol, who had been quietly glaring at her, said,
“Could you stop laughing?”
“No, how can I when it’s so funny? Pu, puhaha.”
“If you keep laughing, I’ll hit you?”
“Ah, sorry. Really sorry. Just endure that. Your strength is too high, sis. Mages like would really die.”
Even for an assassin class, an S-grade Holder like Yoo Eun-seol would have strength close to at least 100.
Then mage classes with low durability and no special defense runes could really die from that punch.
But as Yoo Eun-seol lowered her fist and quietly suppressed her anger, Nah Hye-rin couldn’t resist and teased her.
“But sis, you’re really an. Why are you taking out your anger on innocent regular clan mbers?”
“I an, co on. It’s not like that clan mber said they liked the master, they just said he was kind and warm.”
“Why are you suddenly bringing that up? What does that have to do with ?”
“It has everything to do with you. Sis, you like the master.”
“…What?”
At Nah Hye-rin’s straightforward comnt, Yoo Eun-seol was montarily speechless.
But Nah Hye-rin had no intention of stopping here.
She was determined to thoroughly correct the stubborn Vice Master’s thinking today.
“Sis, let’s be honest now. You might fool others, but you can’t fool . How long have we worked together as independents? Among the Evil Hunter people, I probably know your heart the best, right?”
Nah Hye-rin is a veteran who has built her career by working in the independent Holder world for a long ti.
Being a highly skilled and experienced A-grade mage, she was often considered the top priority companion when forming any attack team or party in the independent sector.
As a result, she couldn’t help but be close to Yoo Eun-seol, who was the leader in that industry.
Yoo Eun-seol and Nah Hye-rin.
When these two combined, surrounding Holders saw it as an almost guaranteed success for that operation.
That’s how long the two had worked together, and their intimacy was extraordinary.
Yoo Eun-seol, who uses formal speech with everyone around her, including Do Jae-hyun.
There was a reason why she only allowed informal speech with Nah Hye-rin among the clan mbers.
“No. I know my heart best.”
But Yoo Eun-seol spoke firmly.
Of course, she wasn’t unaffected by Nah Hye-rin’s words, but she didn’t think she really liked Do Jae-hyun.
A master liking her disciple?
Yoo Eun-seol wasn’t a fool who couldn’t distinguish even that much.
At this, Nah Hye-rin’s expression turned to disbelief.
“Sis.”
“Jae-hyun is just a disciple.”
“Wow, this sister is really severe. I thought you were just pretending not to know.”
Nah Hye-rin dusted off her hands and adjusted her seat.
It seed that today’s persuasion wouldn’t end easily.
“I’ll explain slowly. Listen carefully. Sis, have you ever not ntioned the master when we et?”
Never.
Whether eting Nah Hye-rin or other clan mbers-.
Do Jae-hyun was always Yoo Eun-seol’s top conversation topic.
“That’s natural. What else would we talk about in the clan if not the master?”
“Okay. I’ll give you that. Then what about when you were preparing the end-of-sester gift last ti? Have you forgotten about preparing a gift for the end of the second year?”
Another piercing question cos in.
But this ti, Yoo Eun-seol could speak with certainty.
“That was just congratulating my disciple’s advancent to the third year as a master…”
“No, what kind of master gives a gift to their disciple for moving up a grade? It’s not even a graduation gift.”
Co to think of it, it might have been a bit excessive?
“Let’s say that could be the case, giving you the benefit of the doubt a hundred tis over. But sis, why do you put up such a wall against the clan mbers?”
“What do you an. I’m just trying to help the clan mbers focus on their work…”
“No.”
Nah Hye-rin shook her head and cut off the words.
“Clearly, like today’s incident, and like last ti during the interview – you react super sensitively when clan mbers show even a little interest in the master, you know? Usually, you’re a kind Vice Master, but as soon as the master is ntioned, you beco a completely different person. It’s almost like…”
And she looks at Yoo Eun-seol with a strange gaze.
That gaze held a subtle certainty.
“…Like you’re his girlfriend or sothing.”
“…!”
Yoo Eun-seol’s eyes widened with bewildernt.
