Regressor Takes Everything

Revealing a garden lit with subdued lighting here and there, and an open night sky. It was incredibly beautiful to be a night view from the City Centre.

When Kang Yoo-sik was staring vacantly at that, Ahn Seol-ha approached him and placed a cold drink on his cheek.

“We’ll be drinking here.”

“Ah. Thank you.”

Kang Yoo-sik received the glass he was handed while Ahn Seol-ha smiled and took a sip of her cocktail.

“We went around quite a lot, didn’t we?”

“I think I received around 50 business cards itself.”

“It’s because they’re all single-stranded people you know. Business cards are a must.”

Kang Yoo-sik gave a wry smile at the amount that was twice as much as he expected.

“When I contact them one by one the next time, I’ll pass out tired.”

“Bear with it since it will be as much helpful.”

“That’s true as well….”

“Ah, right.”

Ahn Seol-ha who recalled something suddenly put her hand in her bosom and pulled something out, and handed it over to Kang Yoo-sik.

“This is my business card. I forgot to give it all long.”

“…….. Couldn’t you just take it out in a normal way?”

“That’s because it’s a special business card made for you. Handing it over to you should be special so you can remember it. Take it soon~”

At Ahn Seol-ha who was handing it out with a mischievous smile on her face, Kang Yoo-sik furrowed his brows and received it without making eye contact.

He took a look at the business card ignoring the fact that it was strangely warm, and looked quite surprised at how there were two contact numbers written on it.

The familiar number she often used before his regression too. At that, Kang Yoo-sik pretended to not know while knowing it all.

“Why are there two numbers?”

“One is to use only with you. I’m an extremely busy too person…… and have secretive things to talk too you know.”

A second phone number for security to talk about things related to the back world. He wasn’t surprised as he’s received it before the regression too, but it was just quite unexpected.

He also received that from Ahn Seol-ha because it was after he built some trust and developed a bit of a close relationship.

‘Weirdly, it was sooner than last time.’

I mean, he didn’t even have such a relationship with her like that this time, but why is this happening already……. Ahn Seol-ha gave a slight smile at Kang Yoo-sik who was making a confusing expression.

“I gave this to you because you’re trustworthy. Of course, that doesn’t mean I will listen to anything you say, so I hope you remember that part.”

“Hmm. I see.”

Though the trust was built faster since he had no negative criminal records unlike last time, it doesn’t mean that a deeper relationship was built.

A dry but solid relationship of trust, just as Kang Yoo-sik expected. In other words, he was involved in something like a business relationship.

‘It’s good, but……. It’s still dangerous as ever.’

Kang Yoo-sik recalled the place she pulled out the business card from and brushed off his thoughts while Ahn Seol-ha gave a satisfied look.

“Now that we’ve rested enough, should we head back in?”

“Right. How many have we met so far?”

“Not sure. Maybe like half of-……”

Ahn Seol-ha narrowed her eyes while saying something and even before she spoke a word, her hand swung like a flash of lightning.

Wheeing!

The metal straw with olives sitting on the cocktail flew away in the blink of an eye and a rustling sound rang out loud through the garden.

Ahn Seol-ha figured out that something was going on and ran towards the garden without hesitation, and Kang Yoo-sik who felt the strangeness too followed behind.

“……… It’s disappeared.”

Ahn Seol-ha narrowed her eyes at the bloodstains on the floor and Kang Yoo-sik looked at the surrounding.

‘What is this?’

It’s a place where hunters of all grades gathered for a party hosted by the Hunters Association of Korea, which bastard dared to create a scene here.

When Kang Yoo-sik was looking around at the strange feeling.

“………… Um?”

A sweet smell grazing his nose faintly.

Right when Kang Yoo-sik was furrowing his brows at the familiar smell, Percival yelled out hurriedly.

– Lord! It’s a curse!

At Percival’s yell, Kang Yoo-sik instinctively hugged Ahn Seol-ha and hit the floor, flinging them to the opposite side even before saying a word.

And frowned after confirming the disappearance of the smell.

‘Immortal Dream?’

A strange item that was used by Park Yoo-chan to enhance his influence and was also the key card of the Reinforcement Plan.

Due to the special nature of it called the curse in drug form, it wasn’t out for too long, but its effects were never to be ignored.

‘In the first round, it drives the user’s desires wild. In the second round, you will be swayed by the user’s insinuations.’

In the case of round three, it’s very dangerous as it makes you into a slave of the user. But since that one needs special equipment, there’s no need to worry about it as of now.

But even rounds one and two are dangerous enough. That’s because we don’t know what mess it will cause, as it depends on the desire, and swaying to their insinuations can make a person induce actions.

‘According to the data obtained at that time, it should have taken at least 3 years to be used properly……. Park Yoo-chan, this guy, is he insane?’

No matter how much he hates Kang Yoo-sik, using an incomplete item in here?

If something goes wrong, it could’ve reflected at him as if stepping on one’s tail. With what kind of trust did he pull such tricks?

Kang Yoo-sik who was giving a ridiculous expression hurriedly checked his body.

‘Did the curse………. get to me?’

Though he was exposed to it for a short time, it’s got to have some kind of influence on him, but there was no reaction.

When Kang Yoo-sik was giving an odd expression at that, Percival replied as if clearing his thoughts.

– If it’s about the curse inflicted on you, I’ve resisted them all.

‘What?’

– One is that you got out of the sphere of influence quickly, and since I’m associated with a powerful curse, I can easily resist a stealthy curse as such.

‘…………’

Though originally there wasn’t a problem as Percival knew the solution to it already, who knew that it could be blocked so easily.

Kang Yoo-sik who just brushed off the Immortal Dream that was a step above him was giving a dumbfounded look.

Tap!

Ahn Seol-ha who was in his embrace grabbed onto his shoulder.

“C-, Cadet Kang Yoo-sik…….. Could you get off of me soon?”

“Sorry?”

“Looks…… Looks like you’ve encountered something strange. Your hair-……”

“Ahn Seol-ha who was buried within moved her body and pushed her hand as trying to get off of him.

Rrrrgh!

Unlikely of that action, her hand was tightly holding onto his shoulder and in a split second, her eyes were sparkling while looking at him.

At the scene that made Kang Yoo-sik recall the Ahn Seol-ha he saw often before the regression, he figured out what kind of situation he was in right now.

‘Sign of Round One.’

Usually, an S-class hunter would be able to easily resist that exposure. But it somehow looks like something started up with the clicking of Ahn Seol-ha’s desires and the current situation.

Kang Yoo-sik gave a troubled look at that.

‘There is a solution, but……’

The solution is surprisingly simple, likely of the primitive curse.

To rightfully fulfill the desire stimulated in round one. And he knew what Ahn Seol-ha wanted just by the look of her eyes.

‘But that’s……..’

No matter how he does it just to break the curse, it was obvious that Ahn Seol-ha’s nature will recklessly rush it.

Of course, he could use this option and make a debt relationship, but he couldn’t help the fact that he was contemplating over it.

When Kang Yoo-sik was thinking if there was anything that’d change.

– What the. You’re contemplating over that? You just have to suck it and spit it out.

Andvari muttered in a ridiculing tone.

‘What?’

– I asked if it isn’t possible to just suck and spit it out.

‘You can suck out a curse?’

– It’s possible since the curse is not a powerful but a cheap one. It’s not even that hard.

At Andvari’s words that seemed nonsensical, Kang Yoo-sik quickly turned his head and a thought flashed his mind.

‘Will I be able to use it if I suck it out?’

– Uh? Uhm…….. it does look like it’s possible. It’s not even a complicated thing.

Kang Yoo-sik smirked at Andvari’s reply. If that’s so, he can keep what is precious, make a debt relationship, and get back at Park Yoo-chan too.

Kang Yoo-sik who found a solution better than anything he knew hurriedly asked Andvari.

‘How do I suck it out?’

– Just touch that woman. Even a quick touch would do.

‘Okay.’

The moment Kang Yoo-sik pulled his hand out at Andvari’s words.

Grab!

Ahn Seol-ha’s hand that was holding his face suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand, clasping them together.

“Uh?”

When Kang Yoo-sik was flustered at that sudden situation. He felt like his vision was turned around and the next moment, the night sky was spread above me.

And the next thing he sees is Ahn Seol-ha’s lustful eyes. Kang Yoo-sik’s expression was hardened at how both his hands were held down by her.

“This……. This is okay, right?”

“Just a moment. Miss. Ahn Seol-ha. Calm down a b-…….”

“I was trying hard to hold it back, but you reached out your hand like that…….. any one could say that it was okay, isn’t it?!”

Kang Yoo-sik gave a flustered look at Ahn Seol-ha who has loosened grip almost halfway already.

There was no issue because even if he goes with this method, the curse will eventually be done with, but if he does this then he wouldn’t be able to use the method he found before.

‘How do I……’

– It’s done.

‘What?’

-Your hand touched, didn’t it? The curse was all sucked in. It’s all good now.

When he looked up, Andvari glowed in a pinkish light and Kang Yoo-sik looked at Ahn Seol-ha again at that.

“Please don’t worry. I was not sure where to go so you don’t have t-……..”

Her eyes were relaxed but it was strangely calm. Kang Yoo-sik who figured that out spoke calmly.

“The curse is lifted.”

“……….. What?”

“The curse was lifted right now. You’ll be okay.”

“…………”

Ahn Seol-ha’s eyes were shaky at Kang Yoo-sik’s reply and then she looked down evidently as if thinking about something.

Kang Yoo-sik added when it looked like she was thinking for a lifelong.

“If you do like this, there’s won’t be a second time.”

Though he didn’t explain what won’t be, Ahn Seol-ha got a rough idea of what he said. She let go of the hand she was holding onto and stood up.

She dusted off her dress and gave a serious expression.

“It was a powerful enough curse to remain even after you did it……. It just calmed down.”

– That’s a lie.

Kang Yoo-sik who mentally replied that he knew it too, ignored Ahn Seol-ha’s ears that had turned red and looked at her.

“More than that, are you genuinely okay?”

“Yes. For real. But more than all that, the thing that happened a while ago, which bastard-……”

Ahn Seol-ha who calmed down muttered with a cold look.

Though it ended like a joke, the curse that made an S-class hunter like her lose her sanity was not to be underestimated.

It seemed as if she figured out that it could’ve caused something big if Kang Yoo-sik hadn’t lifted the curse.

Kang Yoo-sik thought for a moment at Ahn Seol-ha’s displeased expression.

‘Should I tell her about Park Yoo-chan?’

Though he didn’t have to care about telling it to her. The thing is that, if he does so, her nature would destroy the Noblesse Guild including the Reinforcement Plan right away.

As he thought that it still wasn’t the time for a gain, Kang Yoo-sik gave it a thought and concluded.

“First of all, let’s go in. First, we need to go in and find out what’s the situation.”

“Ah. Yes. We should.”

“And please be careful next time. Since many people are targeting you.”

“I’ll definitely do so. Right now, I was saved thanks to you.”

Ahn Seol-ha smiled and looked at Kang Yoo-sik

“Thank you. For helping me.”

[Debt relationship condition satisfied.]

[Debtor Ahn Seol-ha’s registration confirmed. Debt rating judged as D.]

‘It’s done!’

Though the debt rating was low as he received help from here and there, what’s important is that it was created.

Kang Yoo-sik who finally made a debt relationship with Ahn Seol-ha let out a sigh of relief.

‘I can do something to some extent with this huh.’

Of course, he has to worry more since it’s still nothing but D-grade, but at least there was a reason better than before.

Kang Yoo-sik who gave a satisfactory smile walked ahead with Ahn Seol-ha and looked at the top floor where the party was held as if nothing happened.

‘Now what’s left is…… that side?’

If he considers what’s in that guy’s mind, the possibility of him being at the party hall by now was high.

Kang Yoo-sik smirked while imagining Park Yoo-chan who’d be waiting triumphantly.

‘I’ll let you have an unforgettable experience.’[
