Chapter 2

"Hey, Wish Stone. Is reversing time possible?"

- Han Yoojin

Regression (2) is the second chapter of The S-Ranks That I Raised novel.

Han Yoojin gets his revenge on the Rauchitas before finding a way to save his brother.

Summary
Yoojin draws on Yoohyun's skills, namely Black Blood Flames and Azure Willow Leaves, to effortlessly evade the Rauchitas' attacks and strike back at it. He muses on what an amazing Hunter his little brother was when using these skills, and commends him on being flawless in all but one aspect—cutting off his leech of an elder brother. Despite having an easy chance at killing the Rauchitas right away, Yoojin draws out the battle, cutting the dragon monster down torturously slowly, until it's blinded and unable to move, drawing its last breaths.

With Last Compensation about to end, Yoojin settles down on the Rauchitas' corpse, having resigned himself to dying by its poison once his SS-rank durability wears off. However, a system window pops up just as the Rauchitas dies, informing Yoojin that he's gained the extremely rare L-rank title Dragon Slayer. With it, he earns multiple item rewards, including the Wish Stone. Attention captured by its name, Yoojin takes out the Wish Stone from his inventory and learns that it can grant any wish except for resurrecting a dead person. With his briefly-ignited hopes of reviving Yoohyun dashed, Yoojin daydreams about using the Wish Stone for his own gain. He's unable to follow through, though, because he realizes that he could reverse time instead, going back to the past when Yoohyun was still alive. Asking the Wish Stone to take him back five years with his memories intact, he promises to live a quiet life and not cause trouble.
