Solo Leveling - Monarch of the Skies

Chapter 8: Chapter 8

"By the way, did you happen to go to another instant dungeon?" Jin-Woo asked me while we were walking on the sidewalk. 

"Eh, uhm... yeah." I said, recalling the demons castle from before. 

"Did it happen to be a Demon's Castle?" He asked, making trip and hit my face on the floor. 

I got up swiftly and asked him, "How did you know?!" 

"Well I went to it too, the one in Song Pa Gu Tower right?" He said. 

"Yeah, that one!" 

"Well when I went inside, there was a huge three headed dog laying on the ground dead..."

"..." I was speechless. 

"Yeah I guess I did do that." I said awkwardly, scratching the back of my head with my left hand, slinging the other around his shoulders. 

"Anyway, What do you think's up with the guild's orders?" I asked Jin-Woo as we walked under a Cherry Blossom tree. 

"I don't know." 

"Tch, you never know anything!" I chuckled, putting my hands behind my head. 

"Excuse me... perhaps... are you Mister Sung? And Mister Tenki?!" A man yelled next to us, startling me as Jin-Woo turned to look at him. 

"Mister Song Chi-Yeol?" Jin-Woo said, causing me to drop my arm off his shoulders, letting him stand up straight. 

"I didn't recognize you at all! You've changed so much. You too Mister T- Eh, not so much." 

"Why you!" I yelled angrily.

"But how... did a torn leg?" 

'I let the two talk for a second since Jin-Woo was closer to Mister Song than I was. 

"Haha, what a day this is... The members of that day are all here." Mister Song said, looking at the 3 in front of us. 

"Jin-Woo?!" 

"Ju-Hee..." 

Seeing the two say each others name like two long lost lovers made me chuckle. 

"And... Mister Kim Shang-Shik." Jin-Woo said with a glare that quickly changed my mood. 

'Scary.' I thought. 

After approaching the group, Jin-Woo reunited with his long lost wife, Ju-Hee, and they talked for a little bit before others showed up 

"Wh-" I heard a voice start. 

Not wanting to stop this moment, I used every bit of my speed to flicker over to the culprit and shut his mouth. 

*Smack* 

My face hit the man's mouth, stopping him from speaking any further. 

Thankfully, we were far enough for the group to not hear us. 

"Keep your mouth shut before I do worse." I said to the nervous man as I crouched down and watched the group talk to each other. 

"Mister Tenki, I'm pretty sure you can't just do that." A man with purple hair crouched down next to me. 

I was going to respond to the man when I heard a noise I dreaded. 

"Sorry for being late. You two are the summoned hunters Sung Jin-Woo and Song Chi-Yeol correct?" A small boy said.

(AN: I don't really know if this person if a guy or girl so I'm just gonna say its a dude. Also if any of you know his name, its the short dude with the black hair and glasses. Hes introduced in chapter 28 I think.) 

"Uh, where is Hunter Sky?" He asked, triggering me. 

"It was ruined!" I yelled as I got up. 

"Oh! He was with Hunter Gang Tae-Shik!" 

"Well we'll be going." The purple haired man, Gang Tae-Shik, whispered to me as he took his group of purple suited prisoners with him. 

"W-What exactly is happening here?" Mister Song asked. 

"Oh, those people?" 

"They are rehabilitators that will join the raid with you hunters." The Inspector said. 

"'Rehabilitators?! Are you telling us to go raiding with criminals?!" Mister Song yelled, walking towards the inspector. 

'I understand you Mister Song.' I thought, walking towards Jin-Woo. 

"Something feels off... Ju-Hee please drop out of the raid." He said, looking towards Inspector Tae-Shik. 

"What about you?" 

"Im going." 

"Then me too." Ju-Hee said. 

"Man, what a nice couple." I whispered, smacking Jin-Woo on the back.

"We aren't even dating." He responded with a small blush. 

"Mhm." I said, winking at him. 

"Are they really telling us to go raiding with these guys?" Mister Song said. 

"I guess we're all going together then." He said as we all walked towards the gate. 

'Man, I'll at least try to save Mister Kim, I know how much he wanted to apologize to Jin-Woo, and he has a family.
