Chapter 14 : An Acquaintance

'Here it comes!!'

My plan for making him regret is working, even though I don't see the point why I'm doing this..

I stood up and followed him, Kim Dokja and the others could only stare at us while we leave for distance. We weren't that far away.

I faced Yoo Junghyuk, and he also did the same, I could see his hesitation for a moment before looking straight to my eyes, then slowly averting his gaze on the ground.

He tried to open his mouth to say something, but closed it afterwards. He couldn't say something to me, he might still thinking of what to say after that rejection right?, Or maybe he's lost in words after seeing me back there?.

While thinking of those thoughts, I heared him mumble something. I snapped back and listened to his mumbling, but I couldn't hear his voice anymore, he stopped.

I didn't even pay attention to what his saying a few seconds ago but i heared him talking about subordinate and round. I couldn't hear the other words he said because of that mumbling and small voice. So I complained.

"Hey, why don't you speak normally?, I didn't hear it you know. Are you shy?"

[The Constellation 'Demon-Like Judge Of Fire' agrees with you.]

I could see Yoo Junghyuk being irritated and holding himself back from unsheathing his sword. I smirked as I saw him trying to calm down, he probably thinks he can't take me on a fight right now.

"Are you deaf?"

Surprisingly, this guy spoke with a loud and questioning tone that was filled with a slight sarcasm.

[The Constellation 'Demon-Like Judge Of Fire' is feeling offended.]

This constellation must be confused on who he was asking.

[A few constellations are enjoying your small talk.]

The smirk on my face disappeared, and a thick mark appeared on my forehead, it was a sign that I was irritated. However, saying something would only waste my time. I have to keep my cool.

"Shut up, Just get to point already. Speak normally so I can hear it."

Even though I can hear it in different volumes of sound. The only reason why I couldn't hear his words a few seconds ago, was simply because I didn't pay attention.

Yoo Junghyuk stayed silent, then he opened his mouth to speak.

"Be my subordinate..."

[The Constellation 'Demom-Like Judge Of Fire' is smiling.]

[The Constellation 'Secretive Plotter' is listening carefully.]

Subordinate?, Not companion?, It kinda felt the same, but also different at the same time.

"Those guys will only hinder you down.., so come with me instead.., I can help you gain more strength and fight, until we can reach the end of the scenarios."

[A number of constellations are taking interest in your conversation.]

This guy was being serious, so I imediately think of an answer and used thought accelaration. It would be beneficial for the both of us, since I can help him reach the end of the scenarios, while he can help me gain more strength, in which I doubt he could. Plus, being with a guy like him would only make me progress faster than the others. So what do you think Great Sage?.

{He's offer is more advantageous to himself than for master. Master can gain more strength with my help, so his offer would be deemed unnecessary.}

You're right. I already have you, so why would I need it?. Still, helping this guy with his dreams aren't that bad right?. He said that my friends will only hinder me down, so he's saying he won't?.
