The S-classes that I Raised

Ch 41: My Dongsaeng is... (1)

“Of course, there’s no need for hyung to meet them. You can refuse.”

Yoohyun said firmly. Wasn’t it that he didn’t want to let us meet, rather than there was no reason for us to meet?

Then again, I didn’t know what it was like at other times, but in front of me at least, this guy’s qualification to be a guild leader disappeared. Since the guy who should wheedle me into it even if I didn’t want to, was the first to say that I didn’t need to and put his foot down.

“If I say that I don’t want to, then those guys wouldn’t come.”

“They definitely wouldn’t.”

“Hey, how do you think it would look for the 3 big guild leaders to deign to directly show up at Haeyeon? It would definitely be ‘Haeyeon must be seizing the initiative’. So what’s with ‘there is no need to meet’? You should be like ‘won’t you show your face just once, hyung’.”

Of course, I didn’t want to meet them. It was annoying. Still, listening to that guy who was supposed to be a guild leader say nonsense, I couldn’t just overlook it.

…It couldn’t be that he was aiming for this and purposely said ‘you can refuse’, right? There was no way my brother[1] was that much of a snake.

“Bu-.”

“From now on, don’t say ‘but’ in front of me.”

Yoohyun closed his mouth, and then opened it again.

“However-.”

“You can’t say ‘however’ and ‘even so’ and ‘still’ either. Don’t put a negative conjunctive adverb in front of your words.”

That guy turned sullen. How did that young guy treat me coldly for several years? Since the amazing person from 5 years later was still vivid in my mind, the twenty-year-old child was sometimes unfamiliar.

And my memory was for 30 years, so you could say there was a ten-year difference between me and this young guy. Even a five-year difference was a lot – to think it was ten years. It meant that when I was an adult, Yoohyun was still a tiny elementary schooler.

He was really young.

“How big of a deal is showing my face once that you would worry? At any rate, it’s a face that’ll be sold to the entire country soon anyways.”

“…You don’t feel burdened? They’re difficult opponents.”

“I don’t feel burdened, though it’s annoying. Still, they’re the clients so you should present the goods with the mind of a salesman who received a jackpot order.”

I also understood wanting to directly check with their own eyes since the investment was formidable. Even for me, I would be uneasy making it official with just looking at the visual materials. And highest rank familiars would be completely unlacking partners for the amazing S-Rank-nims, so it was enough to be anxious.

“If hyung is okay with it I won’t stop it. But, they’ll probably bring an Awakened People appraiser too.”

“Awakened People appraiser? What’s the rank of the appraisal skill?”

“A-Rank.”

It was only possible for appraisal skills, which examined others’ skills or stats, to check people with ranks one level lower. If it was an A-Rank skill, I wouldn’t need to worry… or not, shit. I had lied saying I had a C-Rank skill.

“Hey, Yoohyun? I think it’ll be a little awkward for my C-Rank skill to be discovered.”

“It’s okay. Since the people coming over know that Awakening Centers will form soon. They probably won’t really pay attention to a skill that Awakens Unawakened People. And you said you can only check ranks once a month. I said so before, but if it’s at that level, it won’t draw much attention.”
