These Lunatics are Obsessed With Me

How long has he been there? I didn't feel his presence at all. Sung Yoo-bin and I were surprised, and she asked me who he was with a hardened expression on her face.

"Who is that?"

"Ah."

Lee Geun-ho smiled as usual at Sung Yoo-bin, hearing her sharp question. He was a person who would smile in front of everyone. And it suits him perfectly.

Most people would feel intimidated in front of Sung Yoo-bin, but Lee Geun-ho was not one of them. He answered Sung Yoo-bin with an indifferent expression.

"I'm Lee Geun-ho, participating independently in this dungeon conquest. Nice to meet you."

"…I'm Sung Yoo-bin."

Even after the handshake, Sung Yoo-bin's gaze remained sharp, as if she was still scrutinising Lee Geun-ho.

“Did you eavesdrop on our conversation?”

With a troubled look on his face, Lee Geun-ho scratched his cheek awkwardly with his finger, then immediately continued speaking.

"I was just passing by, but because of my passive skill, it seems like I accidentally caused a misunderstanding. It's a skill that reduces one's presence."

"A misunderstanding?"

Sung Yoo-bin's eyebrows twitched upward as she processed his words. It was also difficult for me to dismiss this situation as a misunderstanding. Accidentally encountering an awkward conversation like this was rare. Both Sung Yoo-bin and I looked at Lee Geun-ho awkwardly.

"I mean it…"

"…"

Lee Geun-ho, with drooping eyebrows, muttered quietly. Looking at him, I remembered what he had just said.

-That sounds like fun.

I wondered what he meant by that. So, I asked while frowning.

"Did you hear what we just said?"

"Yes, I overheard it. I'm sorry."

"Well, that's not the point though…"

The point was that Sung Yoo-bin made a very dangerous statement. And someone else heard it. It was a good thing he was an independent, not a member of the Tyr Guild or any other guild. I continued talking to Lee Geun-ho with an awkward expression on my face.

"I was just joking with Hunter Sung Yoo-bin. It wasn't that serious…"

"I wasn't joking…"

"…So I hope you'll just let it slide!"

I hurriedly covered Sung Yoo-bin's mouth so she wouldn't speak any further. She looked at me with a face that had a lot to say, but I ignored her and looked at Lee Geun-ho nervously.

"Well, that's too bad. I also had a lot of dissatisfaction with the Tyr Guild."

"…"

"At this rate, it feels like we're really headed for destruction. Honestly, isn't life more important than money?"

Lee Geun-ho shrugged his shoulders and muttered. There seemed to be a lot of hunters who felt anxious because the combat team was almost wiped out a while ago. I don't think we should keep conquering like this. I hope the Tyr Guild will get its act together.

"Why doesn't the Tyr Guild actively utilise Hunter Han Yi-jin's auxiliary skill? Isn't that strange?"

"Well, that's…"

It's probably because the Vice Guild Master, Seo Ha-joon, dislikes me. Honestly, I couldn't understand why he hates me so much, so I couldn't answer Lee Geun-ho’s question easily. Wasn't this his first meeting with Han Yi Jin? It's not like they've ever met somewhere before.

"Umm…"

Or had Seo Ha-joon met Han Yi-jin before the Gate incident, and held a grudge against him? I don't know much about Han Yi Jin's past, so maybe it's possible. But if that were the case, I wonder if he would have brought it up as soon as we met.

“To be honest, I'm not sure why he acted like that.”

I answered and shook my head. The Freya Guild asked me to use my skill more actively to test my ability. After seeing the effectiveness of my auxiliary skill firsthand, they even confronted Kang Yoo-hyun about the limitations of my skill usage. I made good use of it anyway and managed to clear the dungeon.

"Don't worry about it. He is naturally someone with an inferiority complex."

"…"

Sung Yoo Bin gritted her teeth and said it in displeasure. It seemed like she knew Seo Ha-joon very well.

"By any chance, have you known Vice Guild Master Seo Ha-joon for a long time?"

"…No, not that long."

Sung Yoo-bin stiffened at my question, and then she said something surprising.

"We went to the same high school. Before the Gate incident."

"…!"

"He's been an asshole since then."

Sung Yoo-bin gritted her teeth as she recalled an unpleasant memory.

In the novel, because the meeting of the two was not mentioned, their previous school relationship was not revealed. But it seemed like they didn't get along. Sung Yoo-bin's hatred for Seo Ha-joon was palpable.

"Anyway, we need to think of a solution."

It would be great if the Tyr Guild made the right decision, but it was hard to expect much given the current situation. We needed to find a way to clear the dungeon without facing total destruction.

"That’s why we just need to wipe out those Tyr's bastards…"

"You can't do that."

I shook my head at Sung Yoo-bin, who kept suggesting ruthless methods that were uncharacteristic of a heroine. She wanted to kill all the Tyr guild members who got in her way and do whatever she wanted. That couldn't be done.

"What if we try this method?"

"Hmm?"

Lee Geun-ho, whom I had forgotten about for a while, looked at me and Sung Yoo-bin and smiled. He tilted his head with his wicked smile.

“We will buy time until Hunter Kang Yoo-hyun arrives.”

"…How?"

As I looked at him sceptically, Lee Geun-ho's smile deepened, and his mouth slowly opened.

"Still no words from the Guildmaster?"

Seo Ha-joon asked with a frown, and the guild member who had checked the item replied with hesitation.

"Yes, there are no words from him yet."

"Ha, damn it."

Seo Ha-joon, who distorted his face, yanked fiercely at the tent that covered his surroundings. He exhaled roughly with a tent blocking the stinging glares from outside.

With the Tyr Guild's failure to capture the Muspelheim dungeon, support from the large corporations sponsoring the guild began to wane. This was also the reason why Guildmaster Jin Sang-hyun couldn't participate in this dungeon raid.

After meeting with the bosses and persuading them directly, Jin Sang-hyun made a strange comment to Seo Ha-joon just before he entered the dungeon. He wanted to exclude Han Yi-jin, who was supported by the Odin Guild, from any combat-related matters.

It was the Guildmaster's order, and Seo Ha-joon also complied with it because he didn't like Han Yi-jin's sudden rise in fame. Han Yi-jin. He was truly an unpleasant guy. He was an insignificant B-class hunter, and he was boasting about it just because he got an S-rank auxiliary skill…

If someone only has one S-rank auxiliary skill, doesn't that imply their own abilities are lacking? It was truly unpleasant to see someone in such a position swaggering and acting high and mighty around an S-class hunter. So, what the Guildmaster said was right, and he paid no attention to Han Yi-jin.

However, the result was a near-annihilation. Seo Ha-joon also felt a sense of crisis after the combat team was almost wiped out due to sandworms that appeared as a dungeon anomaly. He witnessed firsthand how strong Sung Yoo-bin had become with Han Yi-jin's S-rank auxiliary skill.

Should he ask Han Yi-jin’s auxiliary skill for help now? He remembered the other guild members who were glaring at him. Seo Ha-joon bit his lip.

"Um… Wouldn't it be better for us to actively use Han Yi-jin’s auxiliary skill like the Freya Guild did?"

"…"

A guild member carefully expressed his opinion. Although he was afraid of Seo Ha-joon's usual coercive behaviour, his life was more important than that. Shouldn't he come out alive first? Seo Ha-joon glared at the guild member who said that.

No, he can't. He had already treated Han Yi-jin badly, and it would hurt his pride if he lowered himself and asked him for help.

But he couldn't continue conquering like this. Seo Ha-joon also knew that his life was valuable.

Then what should he do? How could he make Han Yi-jin use his skill while maintaining the same attitude…

“…!”

Ah, Seo Ha-joon's mouth dropped open. He remembered the time when Han Yi-jin, who was far away, rushed towards Sung Yoo-bin and used his auxiliary skill. That was when Sung Yoo-bin was in danger.

"All right."

Seo Ha-joon raised the corner of his lips and smiled wickedly. The Tyr’s guild members looked at Seo Ha-joon anxiously.

"I'm going to change the formation from now on."

"…?"

The sudden statement from Seo Ha-joon, while coming out of the tent, caught everyone off guard, and they widened their eyes in surprise. Then, he unilaterally began to rearrange the lineup of each team's combatants.

As I looked at him and wondered what all this was about, Seo Ha-joon looked at me and spoke.

"Hunter Han Yi-jin, please move to the combat team."

"Yes?"

Suddenly I'm on a combat team with my auxiliary skill? When I stared at him in disbelief, Seo Ha-joon continued to speak with a shameless expression on his face.

“Isn't it difficult for you in the support team to immediately apply your skill? I would prefer if you could apply your auxiliary skill to the combatants when necessary."

"Then wouldn't it be better to cast my skill before the battle starts…?"

“Unlike the Sæ dungeon, the Muspelheim dungeon is a vast desert field. You can’t just apply your skills like you did there, because you don’t know what will suddenly happen.”

"… "

Seo Ha-joon spat out his words smoothly even though they sounded like bullshit but were strangely logical. I scowled at his words.

"Cut the crap, Seo Ha-joon. I can't take it anymore."

Sung Yoo-bin stepped forward angrily. What she said crossed my mind. She said she would annihilate the Tyr guild and clear the dungeon by ourselves. It was hard to dismiss her serious words as a joke. I hurriedly grabbed Sung Yoo-bin and stepped forward.
