His reaction was different from what I had been expecting. I thought he would feel excited, but instead, it was as if he felt reluctant.

Of course, I was disappointed.

It was natural to feel this way, considering the time I spent making the Enhancement Serum. It was a research of my choice, but this was still made exclusively for Park Deokgu.

'This... bastard...'

I didn't understand why he would reject this. Of course, I knew there would be a reason why, but I didn't think he would stick to that resolve so much.

This was probably because he wanted to get stronger with his own strength, and he didn't want to borrow the power of these potions.

'This bastard...'

Was he not desperate? If he were aware of the situation he was in right now, he would never say that. In the first place, he was only able to get this far because of my help.

I was dumbfounded by his narrow-minded way of thinking when it came to abilities.

If Park Deokgu were in a small or medium-sized guild that wasn't Blue, he would have accepted this serum right away. If this potion were released on the market right now, a lot of people would immediately go and buy it.

It was embarrassing to say this, but this was an elixir for people like him.

My eyes were sparkling as I felt a little betrayed. I was not angry. I simply felt a little offended.

"What?"

"I appreciate this, but I will not drink it. Did you really call me just for this?"

"Yes, that's why I called you."

"I appreciate your concern, but you don't have to worry about me. I am not a child, and I can do well enough without anything like this."

Park Deokgu did look very uncomfortable. This was the first time he had looked at me like that ever since we had met.

It seems like I had hit his soft spot, but perhaps it was also because he felt inferior. He had been working hard to catch up with us, but with this potion, he might feel that I pitied him.

However, at this point, I had no choice but to urge him.

"Stop this useless stubbornness."

"I am not being stubborn."

"Remember that it's not just for you. It's also for the party."

"You can just cut to the chase. Are you saying you need a stronger front liner?"

I could neither confirm nor deny this.

"Then you just have to use someone else. Anyway, I won't take this."

"You!"

"I said I'm not taking it!"

The moment I grabbed him, trying to pull him back, he got angry and struck my arm. Although my stats had increased quite a bit, obviously, my weak body bounced off.

Park Deokgu looked shocked, and his shock quickly gave way to guilt.

'Motherf...'

Fortunately, I was able to protect the Enhancement Serum, but it didn't change the fact that my fall had been a painful one due to this. After checking the serum's safety, I immediately turned to look at him.

"You bastard!"

As I tried to scream in anger, I felt a huge flow of magical power.

'Ah.'
