Chapter Index

    “The era of the wicked comes to an end”

    “The dissolution of the Hero Association following the collapse of the Villain Union.”

    “The Hero Association is actually the second Villain Association? “Uncovering the shocking reality”

    “A hotbed of various corruptions and crimes. “What has the Hero Association done so far?”

    “The ghost sword that wiped out the Villain Alliance steps down as the president of the Hero Association.”

    “The demonic sword’s shocking retirement. What will the rest of the heroes do?”

    「Absence of national response agency」

    … …

    It’s already been a week since I took the early completion exam. These are the headlines of articles that have heated up the media in the meantime.

    The world has been in turmoil for a week.

    The powerful villain alliance disappeared,

    This was because the true nature of the Hero Association, which seemed fine on the outside, was revealed.

    The battle that took place at the Academy continues to heat up the media.

    I just went there to complete the assistant course,

    I was suddenly caught up in a lot of things.

    He unintentionally closed the doors to the Villain Alliance and the Hero Association at the same time.

    Ah, instead, something else was wide open.

    “Once the villains were eliminated, monsters poured in… … .」

    “Gate monsters appear in the middle of the city”

    “Is this unidentified gate the arrival of the end of the world?”

    “Even B-class heroes have a hard time subduing monsters.”

    “The government is reviewing countermeasures as soon as possible.”

    “I heard that the Hero Association is considering a reorganization… … .」

    As you can see in the article, the gate appeared frequently in the world after that.

    Even after appearing at the academy, gates large and small appeared. The appearance of the gate was mostly accompanied by the appearance of monsters.

    Because of that, the heroes had a hard time.

    It was my first time dealing with a monster,

    There were few heroes above A level.

    As expected, heroes of most ranks were bribed by the Villain Alliance and either died or were imprisoned in the last battle.

    In the end, we couldn’t rest properly for a week and had to help them close down monsters and small gates.

    ‘It’s the same phenomenon as the world I lived in… … .’

    Gate types are divided into small, medium, large, and extra large.

    Small and medium sizes only produce monsters.

    Gate holding time is within 3 to 6 hours.

    Depending on the type of monsters that come out of the gate and the gate maintenance time, they are classified into small and medium.

    Naturally, the monsters coming out of the medium-sized gate were more powerful and ferocious.

    Still, it wasn’t a big problem for me as a former A-class hunter. Because I knew all the strategies for attacking most monsters.

    Small and medium-sized gates are the main source of income for hunters. He made a living with magic stones obtained by collecting monsters.

    Anyway, back to the main topic, the method of destroying the gate was simple. Usually, it disappears when all the monsters that are released are dealt with or the core magic stone inside the gate is destroyed.

    “But are you saying that a high-level monster appeared just from a medium-sized gate?”

    While I was giving a basic explanation about the gate, Seong Ji-hyeon asked a question. It was a pretty sharp question.

    “Really? Now that I think about it, that gate… It disappeared on its own, right?”

    “That kind of thing is a high-level entity… … . All you have to do is chop up any number of fish.”

    “My grandmother is an advisor to the guild. Since you are old, please avoid the site as much as possible.”

    “My master is awesome! You don’t know anything… … !”

    Not only she, but all the guild members react in their own way and say something one by one. I was spreading basic knowledge about gates to the girls I would be working with in the future.

    This is the headquarters of Seongsam Guild in Seoul.

    Ahead of the official creation of the guild, we

    Lastly, I was checking my work.

    The launch of the guild had already been confirmed, but

    Just speak loudly. They weren’t hunters.

    Therefore, there was no background knowledge or information.

    As expected, Seong Ji-hyun’s original purpose was to privatize the Hero Association, not to create a hunter guild. No matter how smart she was, it was natural for her to not know information about gates and monsters she had never seen before.

    That’s why we gathered together like this and I was delivering information in the form of quick tutoring.

    “… yes. Although it is very rare, there are cases where a higher level entity possesses the core magicite of the gate. I will organize the types and characteristics of the monsters separately later.”

    “I see. So, are huge monsters like the monster you faced last time common?”

    “No. This guy is also a type of mutant, but it’s not common. In particular, it was bigger because it had a core gate. At that time, I was lucky enough to be the president of the association… No, thanks to Park Mak-rye’s help, I was able to close the gate easily.”

    “Ha, the structure of the gate is more complicated than I thought. Still, I’m really glad. Because I can be with Sihoo.”

    Seong Ji-hyun, who was playing with a pen on the tablet, looks at me and smiles.

    Her face was extremely haggard.

    Dark circles from not being able to sleep.

    Messy black short hair.

    Countless coffee cups placed in front of the table.

    I was counting down the nights to prepare for the hearing that would be held in a few days.

    -Thrill!

    At that time, sharp eyes were wary of Seong Ji-hyeon’s sorrowful eyes.

    Iria, Park Bi-hwa, and Moran were glaring at Seong Ji-hyeon as if to keep him in check. It seemed like he was keeping a check on whether Seong Ji-hyun’s eyes looking at me might contain affection.

    ㅡKkook… !

    Iria, who was sitting next to me, even squeezed my hand and pressed herself next to me.

    “Fuhu, you don’t have to be so guarded. I am not foolish enough to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.”

    Seong Ji-hyun, noticing this atmosphere, responds by shrugging her shoulders. I don’t know if it was because he was tired, but he definitely didn’t seem to be very interested in me.

    “… Sihoo? Please explain about large and extra large gates. How can a person who is the leader of a guild be this ignorant?”

    Seong Ji-hyeon gives a sad look in her eyes as she says those words. She was only interested in starting the guild.

    I have to have a hearing in 3 days.

    There must be a lot of things to prepare right away.

    You could even see the nervousness on Seong Ji-hyeon’s face.

    “Oh, how much did we talk about?”

    “Now it’s your turn to talk about large and extra large gates.”

    She quickly pressed for an explanation.

    As I said before, there wasn’t much time.

    Still, Seong Ji-hyeon was quick to acquire knowledge.

    Of course, at first I had a hard time convincing them how I knew these concepts.

    But now, I was able to persuade him with Iria’s help (I didn’t use words).

    Of course, no one completely believed me when I said I was from another world. I guess it’s because I haven’t stepped foot inside the gate yet.

    Sooner or later there will come a time when everyone will believe me.

    “Oh, that’s right. First of all, let me tell you the difference between large and extra large gates… … .”

    First of all, there was a separate problem.

    I had to teach Seong Ji-hyeon.

    He is not the boss of the barge, but the representative of the guild.

    I couldn’t make him dumb at the hearing.

    “I’m listening. Please explain in detail.”

    Seong Ji-hyeon picks up the pen with burning motivation.

    I cleared my voice and opened my mouth.

    I hope you can understand my explanation right away.

    Large and extra large gates. These were not named simply because of their large size.

    The difference between these two gates was clear.

    First of all, the large gate did not emit monsters. Instead, there was a monster inside the gate. With this space called the dungeon.

    The gate was closed only when the boss-level monster guarding the dungeon was defeated.

    The large gate had the risk of a boss-level monster, but the gate’s dungeon was filled with magic stones that could not even be compared to small or medium-sized gates.

    Thanks to this, hunters preferred to conquer large gates, even if it meant taking risks.

    On the other hand, there were few cases of very large gates. According to what is known, there was a dungeon at the gate, but there was no boss-level monster.

    In fact, there weren’t many regular monsters.

    It was something I experienced myself.

    The dungeon also had a very complex structure,

    It was also a background I had never seen before.

    It looked as if the Earth’s background had been cut and pasted into pieces, like fragments.

    It was common to find magic stones in the middle of dungeons with very large gates, but no one had yet found a trigger that could close the gate.

    It just maintains its appearance for a few months and then disappears on its own.

    In the first place, it is a rare phenomenon worldwide,

    No one knows the exact reality.

    It was a gate where many things were shrouded in mystery.

    Even though I knew this, I jumped in to make money and was sucked into the world of reverse.

    “… This is all the information I know.”

    “Thank you for the kind explanation. Thanks to you, I learned a lot.”

    “But Ji-hyeon? Do you intend to present this information at the guild hearing? Not enough time─”

    “No? Why me?”

    “… … Yes?”

    I was at a loss for words for a moment at Seong Ji-hyun’s answer, which was so confident.

    “Then why explain now… … .”

    “Information is money, right? I need to make money. Only very basic information will be disclosed at the hearing.”

    Seong Ji-hyun asks my question as if it were a question.

    This woman. He is truly a businessman to his core.

    It seems like they are on the verge of monopolizing the market.

    I guess he’s a second-generation chaebol, so he’s smart about things like this.

    “… Anyway, I think this amount of information is enough for now. Thank you all for coming here in person despite your busy schedule.”

    “Is Jihyun’s overtime work over today?”

    “Yes. at las… ! ah! And everyone can come to work here after three days.”

    Seong Ji-hyeon bows her head at the conclusion of the pre-meeting before founding the guild.

    In addition to my explanation today, I completed the non-disclosure agreement and all necessary procedures for joining the company.

    Now, in three days, I will return to my full-time job as a hunter.

    It’s truly a new feeling.

    You came all the way here and became a hunter again.

    What happens to other heroes and villains?

    “Sihu, are you hungry? Let’s go home quickly and eat. It’s been a while since I cooked ramen for you.”

    “Huh? Ah, good.”

    After all the meetings were over, Iria gave me a lively smile.

    I guess I got a little bored with the meeting, which took longer than expected.

    “Don’t be funny! Give your brother to me just for today!”

    “Moran is right! Well, since we’re all together after a long time, how about a quick get-together?”

    They reveal their selfish intentions in earnest as soon as all public procedures are over.

    The eyes of Park Bi-hwa and Moran glaring at me are unusual.

    this… … . Before I became a hunter, I ended up being hunted.
