How to get Healed at Demon Farm

It's been three weeks since the guild practice test. 

If I had taken the practical test normally, it was time to finish the interview and get the final result.

In fact, except for Team 3, other applicants have already been shortlisted.

Team 3 had an unexpected incident during the practical test.

We were excluded from the open recruitment schedule for now. 

Fortunately, we didn’t fail. 

The Guardians Guild has said that it will focus on open recruitment for now and then discuss what to do with Team 3. 

Frankly, we can't be free from the responsibility of the twisted schedule, so we decided to just wait quietly for their judgment.

For the past three weeks, I've naturally returned to my daily routine.

The daily routine of going to work as usual to take care of the farm. 

Oh! Of course, I got scolded by Ryan and Kaneff for the accident during the practical test.

"I was relieved to hear that it was an ordinary guild test. What if you had a big accident there? I can't even help you with that situation."

"He's a total troublemaker. Accident occurs, wherever he sets his foot!" 

"Boss, I'm not getting into an accident because I want to." 

My excuses couldn’t reach their ears.

"That’s right Mr. Kaneff . If this continues, sooner or later, he'll set foot into a way bigger accident." 

"I have to talk to Verdi Kid. I should ask his be more crazy with his training, so that he can come back alive from any kind of accidents."

"…."

⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩

Thanks to Kaneff's words, I've tasted hell under the guise of sword training for the past three weeks. 

I felt that it would be comfortable if I could just go back into the Poison Ant cave. 

If there's anything else that's changed.

I was in constant touch with Team 3. 

There was a group chat, so we exchanged small news every day.

Taeho and Sehe were focusing on training to compensate for their personal shortcomings, saying they felt they were lacking in the Poison Ant cave.

Jin, who injured his leg, has not fully recovered yet. 

He's been working on the guild's paperwork.

He's been giving advice to two teens who are keen on training.

Seeing that Jin left a lot of messages in the group chat, the paperwork seemed very boring for him.

I can't use my cell phone while I’m in the Demon world, but after work, I left a lot of messages while checking the group chat.

Sometimes, when I posted pictures of Gyuri and Akum, they responded quite well and I was pleased.  

[Yun Sehee] So cute. Can you send me more pictures? 

I'll make sure to take more next time.

[Jung Taeho] You really work on a farm. Can I go to the farm?  

No. No outsiders allowed. 

[Nam Jinhyuk] That was close. I was going to ask whether I could come and rest for a while.  

Come to think of it, Jin, when are you going to take us to the dinner you promised?

[Jung Taeho] I know right.? Maybe we should get together sometime.  

[Nam Jinhyuk] We'll be able to get together soon. The guild will contact you soon. 

[Jung Taeho] What's going to happen to us?  

[Nam Jin Hyuk] I don't know exactly. According to the rumor, both the Guild Master and Deputy Guild Master have adjusted their schedules to meet you guys. 

[Jung Taeho] Really?  

[Yoon Sehe] I'm nervous. 

As Jin said in the group chat, the Guardians Guild contacted me shortly after.

It was a polite invitation message to talk in-depth about joining the guild. 

⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩

"This is the Guardians Guild headquarters." 

I arrived at the Guardians Guild’s headquarters in Yerin's car. 

I was going to come by myself, but Yerin forced me to come in her car.

Compared to the brand name Guardians Guild, it was a slightly ordinary building. 

It was far from the glittering buildings of the giant guilds shown on TV sometimes. 

“It's more normal than you thought, isn't it?” 

“Honestly, yes.” 

“The Guild Master is not a material person. But there's everything you need."

Yerin greeted the security guard warmly before entering the parking lot. 

"Hello!" 

" Hey Yerin. Is the friend next to you the man from the rumors?"

"Oh, it's not like that” 

"Haha! I get it. Get in."

The security guard smiled cheerfully and lifted the parking lot entrance blocker.

Yerin entered the parking lot and parked the car in her spot. 

As I was getting out of the car, people started flocking around me.

"How are you? Lim Sihyeon, right?" 

"Ah? Yes, but who are you?"

"From the Sunrise guild. You're looking for a guild to sign, aren't you?" 

"We're the Baloran guild. We will provide you with good contract terms…” 

"What?" 

What are these people? 

I came to the Guardians Guild, and I was very confused when other guild members suddenly came in.

Yerin stepped up in front of me.

"Excuse me. Don't be such a bully again, please go back quietly?" 

It didn't seem to be the first time for her to be in this situation.

The other party responded slyly to the warnings filled with full hostility.

"Why are you so sensitive? It's our job to find and contact talented people."

"So why are you doing that in someone else's guild building?"

"Hahaha. When we want talented people, we always come here."

"Really… Sihyeon, ignore these people. Let's just go in."

Yerin dragged my arm toward the elevator in the parking lot.

People from various guilds have doggedly followed.

"Don't rush to sign the contract and make sure to contact this number. We'll meet the best conditions for you."

"A talented person like Sihyeon should definitely be treated like that. I wonder if the Guardians Guild will give you that much."

"I won't say anything else. Industry-leading conditions! If you're interested, please contact me."

Why are these people talking about the best terms in the industry, even though they've never seen me?

I couldn't throw away business cards that were forcefully given to me. 

Yerin entered the building with a pass.

Fortunately, they didn't follow into the building. 

As soon as the elevator door closed, Yerin sighed deeply. 

"Ohf! I told you not to stand out on the test fearing this…" 

"What do you mean?" 

"Your performance on the test has already spread in the guild circle. That's right! The three newcomers who caught the Queen Ant cave." 

"I see." 

I nodded with a puzzled look.

"The practical tests of the Guardians Guild is very popular. So every year, a bunch of scouts like that try to get their hands on the prospective candidates." 

"Wow… they are really bullies. Don't they have any business ethics?"

"They would never have acted like this if they knew the meaning of business ethics. That's why I told you not to use Summoning. Your ability is something that any guild would covet."

I understood what Yerin said before taking the test.

I took out the business cards I had just received from my pocket. 

Squeak! 

Without a moment's hesitation, I tore up all his business cards. 

Yerin seemed to feel a little better when she saw it, and a smile lingered slightly on her frowned face. 

The elevator stopped and the door opened. 

The first thing that caught my eye was a logo representing the Guardians guild.

I walked in the neat interior passage along with Yerin. 

There were photos of guild activities, citations, and newspaper scraps on display. In front of a door, I could see some known faces. 

"Huh? Mister Si!"

"Hello, Uncle!" 

It was Taeho and Sehe. 

“You guys were here.” 

“Yes, we're done with the interview.” 

“We finished talking about half an hour ago.” 

Next to them were their parents, who I had seen in the poison ant Rift. 

They greeted me with a welcoming smile.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Taeho's father. I heard that you helped Taeho a lot in the Rift. Thank you very much." 

"I am Taeho's mother. I’m so sorry that I couldn't greet you last time." 

"Hello, I'm Lim Sihyeon."

I bowed my head to Taeho’s parents' polite greetings. 

"You must have had a hard time because of my son, right?  He has been such a weird kid since he was a child…"

"No, I got a lot of help from Taeho. He did a great job in a difficult situation."

"You see mom, I told you, right? I did a good job without bothering them." 

“You stay put. You’re an adult now. Why are you still so immature?"

Taeho’s mother slapped Taeho's left arm and scolded him.

His father smiled embarrassingly looking  at me.

I smiled looking at the harmonious family atmosphere that suited Taeho.

Next, Sehe's mother greeted me. 

"Hello, I'm Yun Sehe's mom. I couldn't greet you properly since I was in a hurry that day. I'm sorry."

"No, it’s fine. I didn't do anything great." 

"Really? My daughter talked about you a lot at home." 

"Ma, why are you talking about that here!"

Sehe was greatly embarrassed and blocked her mother's words. 

Her mother smiled faintly at her daughter's reaction.

Sehe’s mother had a very similar atmosphere to Sehe. 

"But…. What are you guys doing here? If you're done with the interview, can't you go back?" 

“Of course we were waiting for you Uncle. 

“Me?” 

“Yes. We wanted to wait until Mister Si’s interview was over." 

"What does it have to do with my interview being over?” 

I looked puzzled at their words.

Then, the Guardians Guild staff approached and talked to me. 

"Mr. Lim Sihyeon, the Guild Master and deputy Guild Master are waiting for you. Come this way please.” 

“Oh, yes, please.” 

“Go ahead, Mister Si.” 

“We'll be waiting Uncle.” 

Taeho and Sehe waved their hands as I followed the staff.

Of course, Yerin naturally followed me.

As I walked along with the staff, I felt the hot gaze of the employees around me. 

They even whispered something.

I remembered the story that the parking lot security guard said earlier and asked  Yerin in a low voice. 

"Yerin, is there a bad rumor about me in this guild? Everyone’s eyes looking at me is a little strange." 

"Uh… No. Don't worry, it's nothing."

"…..?"

I walked down the hall, leaving behind some uncomfortable questions. 

– Knock, knock, knock. 

"Guild Master. Mr. Lim Sihyeon is here."

Come on in. 

A woman's voice was heard from the inside. 

The staff stepped out of the door and made a way.

As I moved to enter the room, Yerin followed secretly.

"Only Mr. Sihyeon has been told to come in. Yerin, I think you should wait outside."

"Oh, okay. See you, Si."

Yerin also thought it was important, so she stepped back neatly and didn't force herself like she usually does.

I slowly opened the door of the interview room by myself.

Three people were waiting for me in the room. 

The first person to see was  Jin, who still wore a mask, and next to him was Hayoung, the deputy guild master, who I saw during the practical test.

The other was a middle-aged man with impressive dark eyebrows, beard, and a sturdy build. 

Perhaps that person was the Guild Master Kang Heseop.

Um… I think the Guild Master is staring at me like he's going to break my bones. Is it just me feeling like that? 

"Welcome. Sihyeon. Please sit comfortably." 

"Yes." 

I sat down in the prepared seat according to Hayoung's words.

I had a lot of experience preparing for interviews in the past, still, this kind of position was always uncomfortable as if I was sitting on a thorn.

But, I calmed down by recalling the expected questions and answers I had thought about in advance at home.

I was waiting for the other side to talk first…

Kang Heseop's mouth immediately opened. 

"What's your relationship with our Yerin?" 

"…What?" 

A completely unexpected question popped up from the beginning.
