Gwanak-gu, Seoul.

This place, famous for being home to the Seoul Holder Academy, also has another building known as a local landmark.

The Clan Tower.

A large clan that boasts two S-grade Holders, and a rising clan that most young Holders want to join recently.

Befitting a clan that has steadily built its reputation since its founding, the scale and design of the clan tower were also magnificent.

And in the corridor inside that magnificent building.

“I’m here to see the Vice Master.”

As soon as he sees the woman with a snow-white snowflake-like style, a clan member immediately bows his head.

The youngest S-grade Holder.

The only S-grade Holder in the assassination category in Korea.

Although she has now lost those two titles to a man, she is still considered the best in the assassination category in Korea.

And gradually... A woman who seems to be more suited to the title of Vice Master.

It was S-grade Holder, Yoo Eun-seol.

“Hmm... You’re Holder An Se-rin from Hunting Team 5, right?”

To Yoo Eun-seol’s question after a moment’s thought, the greeting clan member asks back in surprise.

“Y-Yes! How did you know my name...?”

“Of course I know. You’re our clan member. You were from the former Titans, right?”

“Th-That’s right. Wow, wow....”

At that moment, An Se-rin’s eyes filled with admiration and respect.

She never thought that someone of Yoo Eun-seol’s caliber would remember her.

Even in the same clan, there’s clearly a difference in status between clan members.

People at the level of master and vice master of are figures who control the domestic Holder world with their mere existence.

The fact that one of them memorized her name and remembered the entire recruitment process... It felt like an infinite honor to An Se-rin.

That’s how tremendous the impact of the name Yoo Eun-seol was.

Both within and outside the clan.

Yoo Eun-seol, who had been looking at An Se-rin, spoke slowly with a faint smile.

“We’re preparing various self-help measures so that Holders from merged clans don’t feel left out within the clan. Still, there might be something the leadership is missing, so if Holder An Se-rin has any discomfort, please actively voice your opinion.” Ṝ�

Recently, has been expanding in earnest by merging clans.

and .

These were clans that had previously worked together as subordinate mercenary clans, and through this merger, they were able to recruit a large number of archer and warrior-type Holders, which had been considered lacking in .

As with any type of merger, it’s not easy for the old group to assimilate into the new group.

Conflicts can arise in this process, and various noises can occur.

The leadership and operations team were paying maximum attention to these points, creating a clan atmosphere so that members from merged clans wouldn’t feel left out.

Thanks to this smooth operation, even the members from the former clans didn’t express any particular complaints.

And to this explanation from Yoo Eun-seol, clan member An Se-rin also waved her hands vigorously.

“Not at all! Really not at all! It’s very comfortable and good! And master is also treating us so well....”

...But was it because she was treated too comfortably?

From An Se-rin’s mouth-

An unnecessary, ‘by the way’ comment popped out.

Yoo Eun-seol’s eyebrow twitched for a moment as she was about to pass by.

“Have you... Seen Jae-hyun?”

“Do Jae-hyun...? Ah, ah! Yes! On the day of the merger, he personally visited the former Titans clan members and encouraged us.”

“...I see.”

Her voice tone had somehow lowered slightly.

However, An Se-rin, not noticing this change in Yoo Eun-seol, got excited on her own and continued speaking.

She was determined to thoroughly correct the stubborn Vice Master’s thinking today.

“Sis, let’s be honest now. You might fool others, but you can’t fool me. How long have we worked together as independents? Among the Evil Hunter people, I probably know your heart the best, right?”

Nah Hye-rin is a veteran who has built her career by working in the independent Holder world for a long time.

Being a highly skilled and experienced A-grade mage, she was often considered the top priority companion when forming any attack team or party in the independent sector.

As a result, she couldn’t help but be close to Yoo Eun-seol, who was the leader in that industry.

Yoo Eun-seol and Nah Hye-rin.

When these two combined, surrounding Holders saw it as an almost guaranteed success for that operation.

That’s how long the two had worked together, and their intimacy was extraordinary.

Yoo Eun-seol, who uses formal speech with everyone around her, including Do Jae-hyun.

There was a reason why she only allowed informal speech with Nah Hye-rin among the clan members.

“No. I know my heart best.”

But Yoo Eun-seol spoke firmly.

Of course, she wasn’t unaffected by Nah Hye-rin’s words, but she didn’t think she really liked Do Jae-hyun.

A master liking her disciple?

Yoo Eun-seol wasn’t a fool who couldn’t distinguish even that much.

At this, Nah Hye-rin’s expression turned to disbelief.

“Sis.”

“Jae-hyun is just a disciple.”

“Wow, this sister is really severe. I thought you were just pretending not to know.”

Nah Hye-rin dusted off her hands and adjusted her seat.

It seemed that today’s persuasion wouldn’t end easily.

“I’ll explain slowly. Listen carefully. Sis, have you ever not mentioned the master when we meet?”

Never.

Whether meeting Nah Hye-rin or other clan members-.

Do Jae-hyun was always Yoo Eun-seol’s top conversation topic.

“That’s natural. What else would we talk about in the clan if not the master?”

“Okay. I’ll give you that. Then what about when you were preparing the end-of-semester gift last time? Have you forgotten about preparing a gift for the end of the second year?”

Another piercing question comes in.

But this time, Yoo Eun-seol could speak with certainty.

“That was just congratulating my disciple’s advancement to the third year as a master...”

“No, what kind of master gives a gift to their disciple for moving up a grade? It’s not even a graduation gift.”

Come to think of it, it might have been a bit excessive?

“Let’s say that could be the case, giving you the benefit of the doubt a hundred times over. But sis, why do you put up such a wall against the clan members?”

“What do you mean. I’m just trying to help the clan members focus on their work...”

“No.”

Nah Hye-rin shook her head and cut off the words.

“Clearly, like today’s incident, and like last time during the interview – you react super sensitively when clan members show even a little interest in the master, you know? Usually, you’re a kind Vice Master, but as soon as the master is mentioned, you become a completely different person. It’s almost like...”

And she looks at Yoo Eun-seol with a strange gaze.

That gaze held a subtle certainty.

“...Like you’re his girlfriend or something.”

“...!”

Yoo Eun-seol’s eyes widened with bewilderment.
