Yeo Joo Saves the World – Episode 28

“I’m so nervous. What do I do? Ugh, I can’t even eat breakfast!”
“Me too. Does this mean I don’t have to go to the mountain and train with rocks anymore?”
Today was finally the day the Training Facility would be completed.
Lee Yu Eul and Jang Su Ho, who hadn’t gone to school because it happened to be the weekend, were making such a fuss from morning that their voices sounded like cicadas chirping in the height of summer.
“I’ll head downstairs and do a final check, so come down when I call you.”
Any longer and my ears would start bleeding.
I checked my stamina as I descended from the fourth floor to the basement.

[ Current Stamina: 50 / 100 ]

“As expected, I haven’t fully recovered in just one day.”
My entire body still ached from the aftermath of purifying Han Ji Sung yesterday.
The pain was so severe that after returning to my room, I had to stand under scalding hot water for a long time.
Otherwise, it felt like my entire body would actually freeze solid.
There was no doubt that my altered physical condition after using Han Ji Sung’s ice-binding ability and my purification skill was somehow connected to it.
It was as if I had absorbed part of his rampage state into myself.
“System, let me ask you one thing. Do I always suffer aftereffects like this when I use Dark Purification?”

[ That information is not yet accessible. ]

This was the first time I’d received an answer like this.
Given that this is the system from 【The Chronicles of Sejong】, it’s not particularly surprising.
‘Not yet’, huh.
“Then when will it be unlocked?”

[ Skill proficiency improvement is required. ]

“So the same applies to Body Healing, not just Dark Purification?”

[ Correct. ]

Then there’s only one path forward.
From now on, I’ll use my skills relentlessly to raise my proficiency and efficiency.
Not just my guild members—I need training too.
“And I’ll need to acquire some stamina-enhancing items as well.”
As I laid out these various plans, I found myself already arriving at the entrance to the Training Facility.
Gua Ri was already waiting for me there.
She seemed to be the type who kept time commitments with absolute precision.
“Hello.”
“Oh, hello.”
I’d always been somewhat timid by nature, but today my condition was worse than usual.
I couldn’t even meet her eyes properly, and the way her fingers fidgeted nervously made her appear quite anxious.
‘I can understand why.’
I recalled the post that had gone up on the Hunter Community early this morning.

Hunters – [ General Discussion Board ]
Remember that Sung Yo Na from Fantasia?
Bounty Hunter | Views: 3677

The one who disappeared during a Dungeon raid at Fantasia a year ago
I think I saw her yesterday
My skill lets me see through item effects and stuff like that, right?
I was heading home last night and got bored, so I just used my skill on some girl
But she was wearing an appearance-changing item, and her hair color and face were completely exposed
Her face looked exactly like Sung Yo Na
Since she’s the Fantasia Guild Master’s sister, honestly, once you see her you can’t forget her face
Blonde hair and incredibly beautiful
It was dark and just a brief glimpse, so I could be mistaken
But what if she didn’t actually disappear and is just living in hiding?

Comments
Comment 1: This is the most shocking post besides the A-rank Healer lately
Comment 2: Didn’t people die because of her?
└ Yeah, she’s a spatial ability user. She was supposed to be like the last lifeboat for that raid, but she just ran solo
└ Chilling: So she killed all those people
Comment 3: Sung Ro Sa and Fantasia Guild took a huge hit from that incident back then. They’ve recovered a lot lately though
Comment 4: How many people died back then?
└ I think it was three. Sung Yo Na’s first Dungeon was a small C-rank, so it was weird—one dead, one in a coma, one missing
└ Could it be that Sung Yo Na killed them and bolted…?
└ Fantasia mods: You’re being way too sensitive about Sung Yo Na. You could get sued; watch your angle

Comment 189: Wait; there’s a notice up on Fantasia Guild right now;; ( link ) They’re taking reports on Sung Yo Na sightings;

Sung Yo Na, the younger sister of Sung Ro Sa, the Guild Master of Fantasia Guild.
That’s the real identity of Gua Ri standing before me right now.
An A-rank mage with a specialty in spatial manipulation—specifically, the ability to warp space and rapidly transport herself and multiple others together.

Sung Yo Na A
1. Spatial Compression ( A )
2. Subspace Creation ( A )
3. [Empty]
Status Abnormalities – Fear, Anxiety, Guilt, Agoraphobia, Addiction 5%
Equipped Item – Appearance Transformation Bracelet ( A )

I could understand her fear, anxiety, and social withdrawal given her circumstances of hiding away—but the guilt weighed on me.
‘This isn’t her fault.’
Sung Yo Na was a victim of an unexpected rampage.
One of the Hunters who had entered the Dungeon with her suddenly went berserk and killed her companions.
Though she survived, Sung Yo Na had panicked and couldn’t properly control her spatial distortion skill, managing only to escape alone by the skin of her teeth.
Moreover, that incident had bred a terror of Dungeons and Hunter work itself, so she chose to have herself reported as missing, changed her appearance and name, and now lived quietly accepting spatial remodeling requests to make ends meet.
But by sheer misfortune, she’d been spotted by a Hunter with a perception skill.
I could only imagine how hunted she must feel right now.
Yet the fact that she came all this way to honor her promise with the Justice Guild showed she possessed a strong sense of responsibility.
“W-well, the work is complete. If you check inside and find no problems, I’ll send you the final payment….”
“No.”
I transferred the remaining funds we’d agreed upon through the app and spoke.
“You don’t look well. You should visit a Hospital soon.”
Of course, visiting a Hospital wouldn’t solve anything, but I deliberately pretended not to know.
“If any problems arise, I’ll contact you, so please come take a look then.”
“Ah, yes. Yes. I, I will. Thank you so much for entrusting me with this work!”
I spoke to Gua Ri—no, Sung Yo Na—as she bowed deeply and hurried away.
“Excuse me.”
“Yes?”
“If you ever need help with anything, come find me anytime.”
“….”
Sung Yo Na blinked several times in a daze, then bowed again and left the Justice Guild building.
Sung Yo Na’s fugitive life wouldn’t last much longer.
Her current hiding place would soon be discovered, and there were limits to how long she could hole up in some hotel or motel.
Soon Sung Ro Sa would post an enormous bounty to find his younger sister and the escaped Hunter.
In such circumstances, Sung Yo Na would have no choice but to recall what I’d just said.
That would be enough.
When that time came, cornered and desperate, Sung Yo Na would find her way to the Justice Guild of her own accord.

“Boom-boom-boom!”
“Dun-dun-dun-dun—”
The moment I called to announce the Training Facility was complete, the guild members who rushed down couldn’t hide their excitement.
The Yu Eul duo, who were constantly providing their own background music, were no exception.
“Justice Guild finally has a proper Training Facility.”
“I’m trembling.”
Han Ji Sung and Lee Yu Chan, who were quieter by nature.
“…Phew.”
Even Kang Han, who usually cultivated his path through silent meditation, was trembling enough to let out a sigh.
And the moment the door opened.
“What is this?”
“Why, why is it so spacious?”
“Well…. We did expand by adding a subspace to the existing building.”
Even after I gave a rough explanation, we all fell silent for a while.
Lee Yu Eul and Jang Su Ho, who had been buzzing with anticipation, stood frozen without daring to step into the new Training Facility.
“It looks like it’s almost ten times larger than the original basement space.”
Han Ji Sung, who still had his wits about him, spoke up.
Only the lounge visible immediately upon opening the door was actual space; the multiple rooms connected by glass doors along the corridor were all facilities expanded through subspace.
No wonder the furniture and training equipment costs were so high.
But even that amount of money was absurdly low for the cost of creating a permanently accessible subspace using an Awakened One’s skill.
“…Yeo Joo, just how much did you spend?”
Kang Han asked me.
“Well, I did spend some money. But.”
I think I might have given the construction company too little.
