Chapter 179
“Heeek? Ji-yoon, what the heck is that?”
Right after Ji-yoon’s raid party returned to the guild.
He bumped right into Young-jin, who was loitering in the lobby.
“I had some business to attend to. More importantly, where’s Dojae?”
“Brother? Not sure. He went out earlier and hasn’t come back yet.”
“Oh? I had something to ask him. Got it.”
“But you finished really early? I thought a high-tier C-rank dungeon would take longer.”
“Heh heh! Piece of cake. Anyway, you busy?”
“Hmm, I’m free right now. Why?”
Ji-yoon gave a meaningful smile.
Then she motioned for him to follow.
Yeong-jin looked at her puzzled and followed.
Whoosh-!
“What is it?”
They arrived at the second-floor gymnasium.
It was a spacious sparring area designed for guild members to train together.
Ji-yoon tossed a sword with a dull blade to Young-jin.
“Long time no spar. Let’s have a go.”
“Out of the blue?”
“Yeah. I want to see how good I am now.”
“Well, I guess it’s fine…”
Two months ago.
Youngjin, Ji-yoon, and the Park Ha-gong trio underwent mana re-evaluation.
There, Young-jin was reclassified as an A-rank Awakened One, and Ji-yoon as a C-rank.
Two members of the Bakha-gong Trio also rose from E-rank to D-rank, but unfortunately, Park Kyung-min remained stuck at E-rank.
Therefore, while it might have been different back in Chilgok University days, it’s no exaggeration to say the gap between Young-jin and Ji-yoon now is like that between a child and an adult—no, more like a newborn and a martial artist.
