“right here are the requested files, sir.”
“are available in.”
Woo Jin-Cheol entered the association President’s office.
as if he have been waiting some time, Goh Gun-Hui welcomed him as his expression brightened extensively. As soon as starting the report Woo Jin-Cheol handed over, a familiar teenagers’s face can be visible.
It become none other than Seong Jin-Woo.
The Jin-Woo in the identification picture looked immature and the environment exuded seemed quite unique compared to now, however it wasn’t enough to make it impossible to realise him.
“H-mm…”
studying the youngsters’s previous information, Goh Gun-Hui step by step have become serious.
‘4 years of Hunter hobby as a rank E? now not best that, the lowest grade there’s?’
This changed into no special than him trying to kill himself.
even supposing the Gates under the association’s jurisdiction had been of lower grades as compared to what massive Guilds or freelancers had been in charge of, they must nevertheless be breathlessly difficult for a rank E!
And as expected….
Jin-Woo had spent as lots time in the medical institution as he become active as a Hunter.
“despite all these frequent accidents, he nevertheless controlled to hard it out.”
“reputedly, he couldn’t end the association due to his mom’s clinic prices.”
“….a rare type of young people on this age, certainly.”
An unreadable mild flickered in Goh Gun-Hui’s eyes.
‘In location of his lacking father, he has been searching after his sick mother and a more youthful sister who is nevertheless a scholar, all by himself….’
After studying that Seong Jin-Woo changed into a Re-wakened, Goh Gun-Hui decided to take a peek on the teenagers’s documents 1/2 out of hobby, however he positive didn’t expect this.
Goh Gun-Hui discovered the teens even greater likeable after reading more about the kid.
‘It’ll be simply an excessive amount of of a waste at hand him over to big Guilds.’
The longer he took a take a look at the information, the extra Goh Gun-Hui’s remorse grew for failing to recruit the teenagers to the association’s folds.
“Tsk.”
He smacked his lips a little and flipped the page, and eventually, arrived at the remaining one. Feeling glad now, Goh Gun-Hui closed the report folder.
“thank you. This changed into informative.”
“thank you, sir.”
Woo Jin-Cheol took the documents being exceeded lower back to him and turned round to go away, only to forestall and open his mouth, apparently in a few trouble.
“Excuse me… President, sir.”
“Mm?”
Goh Gun-Hui raised his head.
The appearance of hesitation should actually be visible on Woo Jin-Cheol’s face.
‘….Why would leader Woo make that sort of face, while typically, he looks tough sufficient to chunk on rocks for breakfast?’
became there a hard depend to talk about?
Goh Gun-Hui’s interest were stoked for correct now.
“What’s the matter?”
Woo Jin-Cheol hesitated for a while before he sooner or later answered.
“there’s some thing you ought to realize, sir….. The reality is, I acquired phrase not too lengthy in the past that Hunter Seong Jin-Woo has entered a raid group earlier today.”
“Already? okay, so whose team are we speaking approximately right here?”
“It’s the raid team from the Hunters Guild.”
“Hmm… Hunters, is it?”
Seong Jin-Woo had chosen the Hunters. not handiest that, in in the future, too.
Goh Gun-Hui’s expression hardened.
‘should he had been simply all talk, and he were given tempted with the aid of the big agreement signing price of the Hunters…?’
if so, what a disappointing flip of events this became. well, he became feeling actually moved for the primary time in a protracted, long while after meeting a Hunter worthy of that activity identify.
but, while wondering returned to the attitude the young people carried from the day past’s assembly, as well as the information Goh Gun-Hui had study simply now, Seong Jin-Woo virtually did no longer look like a person who’d alternate his mind with a flip of his hand.
There ought to be some other motive.
together with…
“For sure, if he needed to fight certainly powerful monsters, then the Hunters Guild ought to fit him the first-rate.”
Goh Gun-Hui became prepared to accept this clarification. Too horrific, because Woo Jin-Cheol speedy tackled him off that concept method.
“It doesn’t sound like that’s the case, sir.”
“have you heard of some thing?”
“it’s been confirmed that he…. Hunter Seong Jin-Woo didn’t join with the primary raid team, but without a doubt with the mining crew, instead. Sir.”
Goh Gun-Hui shot up from his chair.
“What did you assert? A rank S Hunter applied to emerge as a miner??”
His voice appropriately conveyed his disbelief.
In all honesty, Woo Jin-Cheol reacted the equal returned then. That changed into why he confirmed it numerous times to make certain, however the end result didn’t exchange irrespective of what.
‘That’s why I hesitated approximately telling him approximately this rely….’
simply what turned into Seong Jin-Woo thinking?
bloodless sweat trickled down Woo Jin-Cheol’s face as he spoke.
“sure, sir. He has certainly accomplished so.”
Goh Gun-Hui plopped down at the chair and commenced chuckling in helplessness.
“What a hard to apprehend younger man he’s.”
***
After putting on the dispensed tough hat and the miner’s universal, Jin-Woo accompanied after the foreman Bae Yun-Seok. He observed a reasonably big organization of Hunters sporting hard hats like him close to the Gate itself. around twenty or so?
Their gazes centered on Foreman Bae. And the moustached guy introduced Jin-Woo to everyone.
“This right here is Mister Seong, and he’ll be working with us from today onwards.”
“howdy.”
Jin-Woo gently bowed his head and tried to examine the overall environment of the mining crew.
“…..”
Their reactions have been indifferent. however, that turned into comprehensible.
‘Of course….’
On one hand, he was a temp who might also or might not display up the following day. And on the other aspect, they were Hunters who had signed formal contracts with the Guild to come to be complete-time participants of the mining group.
From their angle, there was no motive to get specifically friendly with Jin-Woo.
“Gee whiz…. those men. He’s a colleague who’s going to paintings collectively with you, you recognize.”
Foreman Bae smiled awkwardly and pointed at a man with pretty horrifying facial features standing a long way again.
“Mister Seong, please stay with Mister Mok over there, and in case you’re curious about some thing, research from him. Mister Mok is probably a silent kind, however he’s the maximum skilled out of all people here.”
“…Understood.”
Jin-Woo didn’t say some thing else and stood next to this Mister Mok. when their gazes in brief met, Mister Mok spoke in a voice small enough to overlook it.
“It’s Mok Jin-Su.”
“I’m Seong Jin-Woo.”
The introduction ended with that. earlier than long, Mok Jin-Su’s gaze had shifted to the foreman.
‘….What a pleasant man.’
Jin-Woo additionally shifted his gaze.
The foreman turned into conversing with a regular man or woman who should’ve been the Guild worker in a place a piece of a distance away, searching instead critical. when Jin-Woo concentrated a little tougher, he may want to pay attention the contents of that communique.
“…The raid crew hasn’t come out but? Didn’t you are saying they were completed already? how many minutes ago become that?”
“They stated that they are nearly finished for real, this time. Please be affected person for a little at the same time as longer till all of the monsters inside are taken care of. that is excited about the safety of you and your team, you recognize.”
“I’ve heard the exact same component three instances already.”
“Eii~. Mister Foreman, you realize as much as I do how complicated it’ll emerge as when we don’t do an intensive task, and a hidden monster pops out all through the mining operation.”
while the male worker who was younger enough to be his son smiled and went on a allure offensive, Foreman Bae could no longer stay angry anymore. The moustached man turned around with a smirk on his lips.
“k, ok. I were given it.”
“Oh? Mister Foreman, you’re not angry anymore?”
“I said I got it. So get going already.”
“sure, sir. As soon because the raid group exits from the Gate, I’ll certainly run over to you proper away with out a moment’s hesitation. Oh, by the way. you still keep in mind that we’re all having a drink after today’s operation, yes?”
“Aigoo. I realize. I realize! So get going, young man.”
fortuitously, the verbal exchange got here to an cease with none capacity issues developing. That employee’s responses had been pretty notable, certainly.
‘maximum oldsters would assume that, when you start running for a big Guild, you become more smug than earlier than irrespective of where you are, however….’
The truth become, most of the Guild’s administrative staff had been normal people, even as those working out within the field have been ordinarily Hunters – folks that had woke up.
There had been many things requiring the touch of an awakened, but there would always be a finite wide variety of them.
In different words, it turned into impossible to hire and hearth awakened at will as if they had been elements of a manufacturing facility gadget that might easily be replaced. That changed into why all Guild employees did their satisfactory to thoughts the Hunters and their moods.
From others’ perspective, they could appear like they’d made it in existence, but the personnel of massive Guilds all needed to undergo trials and tribulations that handiest they knew.
It was then.
‘…..Mm?’
Jin-Woo turned into focusing at the communique among the foreman and the employee, but out of the blue, he can also hear the whisperings coming from his facet.
“Did you pay attention that? The amateur joining us nowadays is supposed to be a rank E.”
‘Are they talking approximately me again?’
from time to time, Jin-Woo couldn’t assist but resent his top notch experience of listening to.
‘still, doesn’t suggest I’m gonna cover up my ears or whatever….’
whilst he bitterly smiled to himself, different Hunters had been cautiously whispering to each other.
“What? A rank E?”
“A rank E has been selected?”
“That’s proper.”
Jin-Woo ought to experience the sharp glares uninteresting down at the again of his head.
“What the heck. what’s the foreman taking into consideration, hiring a rank E and all?”
“Does a rank E even have enough strength, i’m wondering?”
“Yeah, i ponder about that, too.”
“Huh, can we even end today’s operation on time?”
worried voices could be heard coming from right here and there.
nevertheless, they kept their voices low, perhaps in consideration of the new guy. Too bad, such movements had been meaningless in front of Jin-Woo, even though.
Jin-Woo ought to best maintain his chuckles down.
‘there has been another purpose for their reactions now not being so welcoming, huh.’
As anticipated – a rank E would acquire cold shoulders irrespective of where they went. He became already nicely used to this, so it didn’t faze him anymore.
‘nicely, it’s now not like I’ll be seeing them for lengthy, anyway.”
but then, some thing else passed off.
Noisy, noisy….
, the front of the Gate have become rather noisy.
“The raid group has come out.”
“seems like they’re subsequently completed.”
The worn-out expressions of the Hunters in the mining crew, stressed from all that ready, brightened one after the other. Foreman Bae have been staring at the state of affairs till then, and he gestured at his group.
“okay, ok. all of us, let’s get going.”
Hunters within the mining group checked their gadget and slowly shuffled in the direction of their destination. Jin-Woo combined in and went at the side of them.
“thank you in your difficult paintings.”
“thank you.”
“You all worked tough, everybody!”
The Hunters Guild employees stood in front of the Gate and welcomed the raid team members as they made their go out one after the other.
The term raid team as used within the field regarded to consult the members belonging to the Guild’s foremost attack pressure.
‘So, these humans are…. the u . s .’s nice assault pressure.’
reading the faces of every and every top rank – no, the very highest ranked – Hunters walking by using, Jin-Woo’s eyes sharpened extensively.
He spotted a familiar face amongst them.
‘….Choi Jong-In.’
The leader of the Hunters Guild, and a rank S mage-kind Hunter.
Jin-Woo pulled the hard hat decrease to cover his face, figuring that matters might get complicated if Choi Jong-In known him here. fortunately, there had been many Hunters carrying a comparable get-up as him nearby. So, Jin-Woo turned into able to mixture in just exceptional.
And so, as he stood amidst the miners and silently studied the members of the united states of america’s very high-quality attack pressure, Jin-Woo started questioning that…
‘…..Are they certainly the real elites of the Hunters Guild?’
He was feeling pretty incredulous inwardly.
quite contrary to his preliminary expectancies, it turned into tough to discover a unmarried Hunter with a actually powerful aura.
As befitting of the nickname ‘ultimate Weapon’, Jin-Woo could feel an extensive amount of magical strength from Choi Jong-In, but except that man, not one turned into worth of mention.
‘ought to they be the vulnerable ones, as a substitute?’
however, that without a doubt made no sense.
Jin-Woo softly shook his head.
these were the contributors of the no.1 raid crew selected from the cream of the crop observed within the usa’s pinnacle Guild.
‘I imply, the Guild grasp himself has participated within the raid, so there’s just no manner that some nobodies could be selected as group participants.’
The word most ill-appropriate to describe those human beings might be ‘susceptible’. Then, there might be handiest one end.
‘No, it’s me who has gotten stronger.’
a skinny smile crept up on Jin-Woo’s lips. energy became relative, wasn’t it?
The efforts of the closing couple of months certainly did now not betray his expectations. His Stats had improved by means of so much that he ought to think of the raid group that managed to conquer a rank A dungeon as weaklings.
through using the difference among himself and them, he should experience his own strength.
Thump, thump, thump….
His heart started out beating quicker from this realisation.
however, then….
no one instructed him to do so, and there was no sound attracting him, but Jin-Woo’s head instinctively swivelled again towards the Gate. after which, he gasped out in wonder.
‘How can this be….?’
there has been a woman with a brief hairstyle relaxedly on foot out from the Gate.
The first actual things that stuck his attention on her makeup-less face had been a couple of large and clean eyes. subsequent up, her smooth and light skin, as well as her smoothly flowing neckline, also controlled to attract his gaze.
If there were one hundred guys, 99 of them would unhesitatingly reward her appears and call it lovely. but, except all that, what attracted Jin-Woo’s interest the most was no longer her appears but what was internal her.
The electricity that became hidden interior her.
From that expressionless lady, an incredible amount of magic strength changed into leaking out non-prevent.
‘At a naked minimum, she’s at the same stage as Choi Jong-In.’
Or maybe, even extra than that.
She possessed an aura that effortlessly overwhelmed her environment.
by the time his shock wore off and cold reasoning succeeded in driving his feelings out of his head, Jin-Woo recalled this girl’s name.
‘She have to be….’
The simplest girl rank S, Cha Hae-In.
The top-ranked Hunter who shaped, at the side of Choi Jong-In, one of the core pillars of the Hunters Guild.
‘i can’t think about everybody else.’
just what number of girls possessing such an air of secrecy existed in South Korea?
as compared to her ‘rarity’ even though, Cha Hae-In’s face wasn’t all that widely recognized. It became because she didn’t experience being exposed to the cameras. And that changed into additionally why Jin-Woo noticed Cha Hae-In’s face for the first time today as properly.
‘Wait, her face doesn’t even appearance weird like in some rumours, so how come she hates being in front of a digital camera?’
certainly, quite a whole lot all ladies in their early Twenties loved taking snap shots. positive, all those passed off to be selfies, but nevertheless.
possibly his stare was too direct, Cha Hae-in’s very own gaze commenced transferring in Jin-Woo’s route.
‘Stealth… shouldn’t be necessary here, proper?’
Jin-Woo without problems hid his presence. Cha Hae-In persisted to scan the location Jin-Woo used to face before tilting her head barely.
‘What became that? I concept I felt a in reality sturdy presence simply now.’
become she wrong?
to begin with, she concept that the affiliation President Goh Gun-Hui had stopped with the aid of on the operations place. but, that powerful presence disappeared completely as though it become a lie.
‘nicely, someone as busy as the affiliation President wouldn’t come unannounced, now might he?’
Too horrific for her, the value of her misunderstanding changed into instead incredible.
because she changed into looking after the trace of that strong presence, she had to attention her senses, and that intended the heavy odour several times worse than regular assaulted her nose.
“Euk.”
As standard, Cha Hae-In pulled out a handkerchief to cover her nostril, and even as tottering around particularly uneasily, escaped from the cordon of Hunters.
‘Her perception is higher than I notion.’
Jin-Woo let out a sigh of remedy while looking Cha Hae-In’s distancing returned. together with her go out, all of the raid crew contributors had pop out of the Gate.
Having been waiting with bated breath for this second, the foreman of the mining crew Bae Yun-Seok grew to become round to stand his boys. He clapped his arms loudly and spoke up with a vivid voice.
“nicely, it’s our turn now, so permit’s all do our high-quality!”
The specific nature of the process supposed that the retrieval team might need to enter first, followed by way of the mining group.
Jin-Woo stood in the front of the Gate.
‘…….’
As he stood there at the same time as silently admiring the splendour of the rank A Gate, some thing he hadn’t experienced earlier than, Bae Yun-Seok approached him.
“Mister Seong, what are you doing? We need to go interior.”
“all right.”
Jin-Woo spoke back in short and stepped via the Gate, just like other Hunters did before him.
after which, a acquainted message popped up earlier than his eyes.
[You have entered a dungeon.]
