I didn’t care who came in at first. After all, how amazing could a hunter who came to such a place to have a drink be.
But the people in the tavern began to chatter.
“Hey, that guy over there…”
“What? Really?”
“Why was he in a place like this?”
The bar became strangely quiet as if everyone was afraid to breathe.
At this point it would be odd if I didn’t get curious. So, I turned my head to look. Standing there was an old man dressed in an expensive looking black suit.
“Um.”
The man was dressed as if he had just come back from work. He wore a white shirt and a patternless red tie. If one saw this man, one couldn’t help but think,
‘When did I return to the outside world.’
The man looked like any common office worker, but there was one thing that stood out. On his feet were bright red sneakers.
Not shoes. Sneakers.
‘Wow, what kind of fashion sense is that?’
The difference was striking. But it wasn’t just his clothes that were weird.
“Milk?”
“Yes.”
“Please add vodka and sugar to a glass of warm milk. Actually, it would be better if you used honey instead of sugar.”
The owner of the tavern was embarrassed by the strange orders.
“Uh…customer. I’m not a bartender…”
“I will pay the necessary amount. Don’t worry.”
The owner of the bar nodded hesitantly. The other customers were mumbling quietly, all of them still looking at the old man.
It seemed that this man was quite famous.
‘Who is this?’
My eyes narrowed slightly.
‘Strange, I can’t seem to remember someone like this.’
While I wasn’t proud of it, there was probably no other human who envied the top ranking hunters as much as I do. So naturally, I was able to say every name from the 100th to the 2nd in the rankings. All because of my jealousy.
Even then, this old man in this suit, was someone unfamiliar to me.
‘I think I saw him somewhere before. Where did I see him? Where?’
It came to me after thinking for a long time.
‘Ah!’
I remembered in my room. Among the fragments that were attached to the wall. There was a picture of this very old man.
[22 days since the Sword Saint’s disappearance. Will the Hunter Association face its worst crisis?]
‘It’s the Sword Saint!’
I remembered. This was the most famous person before Yoo Soo-ha became known as the Flame Emperor.
I’d forgotten because he was a hunter who’d disappeared long ago. It was hard to remember those hunters who’d been active more than 10 years ago.
I didn’t know what to think, looking at someone who I knew would disappear.
‘Ah right…now it’s years in the past.’
I finally, truly felt that I’d returned to the past.
‘This man would soon become the strongest in the world…even the Flame Emperor had to look up to him.’
It was an amazing feeling. Even though I knew it was just an excuse, I kept staring at the Sword Saint. What should I do? It was strange to see such a great man in front of me, even if he’d died long ago. Either way, it was pretty strange.
‘Hey. Doesn’t this senior have S ranked skills?’
