the picture above is Chaerin's outfit for raids. She uses illusion to distort her face so that no one remembers how she looks like. She keeps her sword in her dimensional pocket, which is mostly filled with snacks, clothes and survival necessities.

Also, thanks to everyone for the love you guys have showed me here!

[You defeated the guide of souls, Metus]

Chaerin glanced at the notification, before proceeding to climb the pile of dead demons and join Jin-woo. She was trying, and failing miserably, to climb without using her skills but her height did not allow her to.

She wasn’t clumsy for nothing. They say that her first love is food and second love is the floor.

And she's supposed to be an assassin class...

Jin-woo noticed her struggle, shaking his head at her childish antics. Reaching out his hands, he lifted her up and placed her next to him. The girl was sweating but looked so happy, clumsily standing up and waving at the shadow monsters below who waved back happily.

“Jin-woo, what now?” Chaerin turned to him, fanning her face even though the heat didn’t bother her much.

“The quest is completed, so we stop for today,” he answered, looking at the tall pillar of light far ahead with a gloomy expression. He glanced at the recipe of the holy water of life in his hands, an idea constructing in his head.

“Let’s go home.” He turned around only to find Chaerin using air element to blow cool air on her face. Her eyes met his, so she pointed her hand towards him and directed the cool air towards Jin-woo.

“You did great, Jin-woo,” the girl smiled as they held hands, ready to visit his mother.

Jin-woo just reciprocated the smile at her, giving her smaller hand a firm squeeze.

“Next person, please come in.”

Jin-woo and Chaerin were sitting next to each other. The man was to be reevaluated and Chaerin just tagged along. She was wearing a mask to avoid any familiar people finding her. They were listening to a man give out motivational speeches to them and another guy.

“No need to be nervous,” the one who was talking smiled. “There are a few people who had their lives turned upside down, but it’s not common.”

“But if you get a D-rank or higher, you’ll get sought out by those scouts,” he added, pointing towards a small gaggle of people near the entrance.

“Next person, please come in,” a lady called from the door way and the man stood up. He turned around to Chaerin and Jin-woo and added confidently as if he was from a shounen manga, “You won’t be as nervous if you throw away your expectations. As long as you aren’t placed at E-rank, you won’t have trouble putting food on the table.”
