Chapter 151: Chapter 151
[CONGRATULATIONS, GUIDE CHU WONHEE!
FIXING GUIDE AHN KISOO’S HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF YOUR SELFLESSNESS! THE SYSTEM WISHES TO GIVE YOU A REWARD!]
Wonhee could now tell when it was Tannie sending her messages and not the System.
[Tannie always screams in all caps.]
Wonhee glanced at Ahn Kisoo who was now drinking the potion while Graham was walking around the A-Class Guide like a mother hen.
[That means the potion works.]
She was genuinely happy for Ahn Kisoo.
[Isn’t Ahn Kisoo the main character in Yool’s favorite BL novel? That means Ahn Kisoo is supposed to do something important in our current reality. He can’t lose his Guiding abilities.]
Wonhee gently patted her shoulder.
"What are you doing, Wonhee-ya?"
Wonhee glanced around the laboratory.
Semi and Geon were busy watching Ahn Kisoo while talking about the potion.
Ahyeon was standing guard at the door.
[No one is paying attention to us.]
So, Wonhee turned to Yejun who was looking at her curiously. She leaned down and whispered. "I’m just praising myself because I helped prevent a national crisis."
"You didn’t just "help,"" Yejun said bluntly. "You are the reason Ahn Kisoo was saved."
That made her feel good about herself, so she patted her shoulder again.
This time, Yejun also patted her shoulders...
... and then he stood behind her and started to randomly give her a massage.
Wonhee couldn’t help but laugh softly while Yejun was giving her a good shoulder massage. "What are you doing, Yejun-ah?"
"Your shoulders must be hurting from carrying the entire country’s fate on your pretty shoulders," Yejun said, still massaging her shoulders expertly. "This is just a small way to show my appreciation."
"Why do I feel like it’s just an excuse to touch me?"
"Damn, busted right away."
Wonhee wanted to "scold" Yejun, but her Status Window popped up in front of her.
The System is giving you two choices for your reward!
B. Give Ahn Kisoo and Shin Geon a level boost!]
A level boost for Geon and Ahn Kisoo?
[But they’re already A-Class Guides. Does it mean they’re going to become S-Class like me?]
For some reason, Wonhee could tell that it wasn’t the case.
But even if it was, she didn’t mind.
[The more high-ranking Guides Korea has, the stronger our country will become since the fates of our Hunters rely heavily on Guides.]
Which got her thinking...
[Why did the System suddenly decide to offer Geon Oppa and Ahn Kisoo a level boost? Does it mean something will happen to Graham-ssi and Soobin Oppa that will force them to rely on their Guides instead of me?]
Wonhee actually noticed a pattern whenever a new skill of hers was activated.
[It was always a skill that I needed at that very moment.]
Hence, she had a feeling that a big incident would happen where Geon and Ahn Kisoo would be required to solve.
[It’s a shame to decline a new skill, but...]
Wonhee leaned against Yejun’s chest, a silent way to give him permission to hug her. "Can I use you as my ultimate weapon if I have to?"
Yejun chuckled. "You didn’t have to ask, Wonhee-ya," he said, wrapping his arms around Wonhee’s shoulders. "You can use me as you please– anytime, anywhere."
[Yejun is my strongest weapon, so it’s okay even if I skip a new skill.]
Hence, Wonhee pressed the button confidently.
As soon as she did, Geon and Ahn Kisoo (who was celebrating with Graham) suddenly looked up and stared blankly into the air.
[Ah, the System has probably informed them about their new status level.]
Wonhee knew because her own Status Window popped up in front of her.
[THANK YOU FOR MAKING A WISE CHOICE, GUIDE CHU WONHEE!
Guide Shin Geon and Guide Ahn Kisoo have both reached their maximum potential as A+-Class Hunters!]
Wonhee was surprised when Geon and Ahn Kisoo suddenly looked at her quite emotionally. "W-What is it?"
"Hee-ya, why did you do that?" Geon asked, sighing. "Why did you choose to increase our status level instead of gaining a new skill?"
"The System informed us of the choice you made as your reward for helping us create the potion," Ahn Kisoo said. And he really looked touched by what Wonhee did. "Why did you choose that over a new skill?" Updates are released by novel⟡fire.net
Ah, so the System was a snitch.
[Does the System want Geon Oppa and Ahn Kisoo-ssi to feel indebted to me?]
"My reason for making the choice I made wasn’t as noble as you thought. It was actually quite selfish," Wonhee said, embarrassed. "I just thought that instead of relying on one S-Class Guide, our country would be better off having several high-class Guides. In short, I just wanted to lessen the burden on my shoulders."
She honestly thought everyone would be disappointed in her.
But everyone was still looking at her as if she was a saint.
"Hee-ya, declining a skill to help other Awakened People level up is something that only a selfless person like you would do," Semi said, sighing. She looked proud, but also worried about Wonhee’s ’selfless’ act. "You did well looking at the bigger picture for the sake of our country. But, next time, just choose what benefits you."
"Wonhee-ya, APA already knows you increased the baby herbivore’s status level," Yejun said in a serious voice. "The fact that you also increased Geon Hyung and Ahn Kisoo’s status level should be kept a secret."
"Then should everyone in this room make a contract?" Wonhee asked, smiling. "A contract to keep this a secret from everyone else who isn’t Soobin Oppa, Song Moonho-ssi, and Yool."
Because the people she mentioned deserved to know the secret, too.
"CHU WONHEE, where is Bitna?"
Wonhee gulped hard, her hand shaking a bit because Hunter Hamin’s gaze was quite intimidating.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, her Status Window had to pop up right then.
[Cabbage Kid: Don’t tell Hamin where you found me.]
Wonhee gulped again, feeling pressured.
[What’s the beef between these two, anyway?]
