Recently, when Geon-woo talked on the phone with Seo-jun, he would deliberately go outside and talk as if someone would listen.

The fact that Arin listened to the phone call the other day was something I found out by chance.

From then on, I would intentionally tell the story of the four people.

‘If I keep doing it this way, one day I’ll be able to catch a glimpse of the director’s existence.’

There was only one intention behind doing such a thing.

Making the four people aware of the existence of Seojun, who has decided to hide his identity forever.

‘It’s nice to just watch him grow from behind the scenes. ‘The human mind can’t be like that, right?’

It wasn’t something that went in and out of Seojun’s mind, so I didn’t know which one he really wanted.

However, in Geon-woo’s opinion, just watching him grow from afar wasn’t very good at motivating Seo-jun.

It would be great now, but as time passed, I thought it wasn’t enough to give me the strength to climb to the highest point just by looking at it from afar.

“Yes, so I am thinking about making preparations so that four people can go to the gate.”

Of course, by opening the phone call like this, there were times when he ended up revealing in advance the schedule he had planned to tell later, but Geon-wu decided that it was not a big deal and deliberately answered the phone outside, even though he knew Arin was still watching.

‘We’re not just talking about everyday life.’

And because of that, Arin was able to realize another fact.

The reason he only talked about daily life could have been because he was really a fan of the four people, so he could have told them about everyday things, but Geon-wu often talked about guild-related matters with the person he was talking to.

‘Who on earth could it be?’

Arin was fully aware that it was not a good idea to keep eavesdropping on other people’s stories like this.

But it was also true that I couldn’t hold back because I was curious.

They tell their stories and also share their plans for the future.

“So, for now, we are going to proceed in an experiential format. Would it be okay to recruit a large guild?”

No matter how you look at it, the fact that he not only reported one-sidedly but also asked about future plans could not help but be taken as meaning that there was someone above Geonwoo, the guild master.

‘..Who can be above the guild master? Are you really just reporting to Sogang?’

However, it was also suspicious that they were talking about their daily lives, which were too trivial to ignore.

‘Is Sogang’s sponsor… is he actually a fan of ours, so he’s sponsoring us through Gilma?’

In fact, not only Arin but the other three people felt that the amount of money was too much to support just because they knew Geonwoo.

Even if it was an acquaintance’s guild, it made no sense to pour this much money into a guild that had no results yet, even if it was from Sogang.

‘…No, but where did they see us and become fans and support us?’

Of course, it was true that they had been engaging in various activities as hunters.

However, if you ask me if I did enough activities to have fans, that was definitely not the case.

Even if it is just a porter position, I make an effort to get used to the gate and get used to it, and when the association calls me for an emergency, I participate and guide the rescued people.

If we discovered the gate collapse faster than the association, we would have risked our lives to save people, but all we could do was get a brief thank you rather than gain fans.

‘On the contrary, there were people who claimed that they were saved by weak hunters.’

There wasn’t anything about their performance that stood out, and it is said that they have remained in people’s memories to some extent since it has only just begun broadcasting.

‘At that time, we weren’t doing anything like broadcasting.’

At the time, my days were so busy that I couldn’t even think about broadcasting or anything else.

Days when I was busy with survival, not as a hunter.

‘Ah, no matter how I think about it, it’s strange. As expected, the ones that have the greatest chance are the people we saved…’

Still, if we had to look for a possibility, it was most likely that way.

By chance, one of the people they saved was a high-ranking person in Sogang, who became their fan and sponsored them.

‘No, but honestly, it’s as easy as it sounds.’

It was easy to think about it, but it was difficult to accept the fact that such a coincidence could have happened several times.

“Yes, I understand. Then, we will contact the large guilds related to Sogang and ask for their cooperation.”

I was able to realize once again that no matter how much I thought about the words related to Sogang, the people over there were Sogang people.

‘No, but really… ha, ah, I don’t know. I don’t know. ‘My head hurts.’

No matter how much you think about it, it’s an impossible situation unless it’s a coincidence.

It was clear that this was generally difficult to accept.

‘…First of all, it would be important to dig up some more information.’

I’ve never done anything like digging for information, so I don’t know how to do it.

First of all, since Geon-woo has been making phone calls outside these days, Arin decided to eavesdrop on the calls for a while.

***

“So, the schedule for your gate experience has been set.”

The day after speaking with Seojun, Geonwoo delivered a new schedule to the four people, saying that the gate experience schedule had been set.

“Gasp! As for the gate experience…”

“First of all, it is literally an experience. There is no guarantee that Arin’s trauma has completely healed yet, so we plan to go to the gate and learn the atmosphere and how the engineering team approaches the gate for about a week to get acquainted with the situation.”

Of course, Geon-woo was also scheduled to be there, and the instructors who taught the four people were also scheduled to accompany him.

“I am a person who prepares for unexpected situations, and the instructors will answer any questions you may have.”

In any case, as it was a tense situation with no idea what would happen upon entering the gate, it was impossible to ask any questions to the hunters conducting the strategy on site.

It was not a site where safety was guaranteed, and if anything were to happen, a dangerous situation could have occurred and everyone would have been in a bad situation.

However, just remembering it in your head until the next class and then asking about it was not as clear as resolving the question on the spot.

So it became a situation where the instructors also went together.

“I requested cooperation from a large guild, and they said there was a gate schedule of an appropriate level tomorrow, so I received permission. So, without any plans today, take a good rest and see you tomorrow.”

Unfortunately, as it was an experiential schedule, permission was not received for broadcast.

“It’s a bit of a shame that it can’t be broadcast.”

“You will be able to do whatever you want later when you become the host and go to the gate, so don’t be too disappointed.”

The immediate experience would not have been able to give the broadcast experience of Su or Arin anyway.

These are people who come to see their activities, but seeing the activities of people other than them was no different from watching regular hunter tubes.

“I won’t tell you not to broadcast, but don’t overdo it.”

Even though it was just a matter of watching someone else’s engineering school attack the gate, it was my first visit to the site in a long time.

Geonwoo thought that even if it wasn’t the best condition, he had to be in at least a decent condition.

“But Arin, you don’t seem to have a good expression. Are you still a little afraid of going to the gate?”

While the other three looked excited about entering the gate for the first time in a long time, Arin had a very serious expression on her face.

“If you are still afraid because of the trauma, it is okay to postpone the schedule..”

“Oh, no! I love going to the gate! I was just thinking about something else.”

As Arin smiled awkwardly, Geon-woo immediately realized that she was thinking about the person on the other end of the phone.

“I see. all right. If there are any changes, please let us know in advance.”

Since the event was not conducted within the guild, but was scheduled with another guild, if there was any reason that prevented the event from going, that party had to be notified in advance.

“Ah! How could something like that happen?”

“I’m so excited.. Ha, I hope tomorrow comes soon!”

“…Hurry, tomorrow..”

Even Nahyeon looked very excited.

Looking at them like that, Geonwoo thought that these four people must be heavenly hunters.
