One month later.

A month has already passed since the four people started attending the C-class gate.

There have been quite a few changes during that time.

The biggest news was that Arin had become a B-rank hunter.

[Status Window]

Name: Han Chae-yoon

Occupation: Tanker

Grade: C

[Status Window]

Name: Kim Na-hyeon

Occupation: Healer

Grade: C

[Status Window]

Name: Choi Soo-ah

Occupation: Blader

Grade: C

Except for Arin, the other three achieved the feat of becoming C-rank hunters.

It was such a huge change that it happened in just one month.

Even those who thought it would just be a flash at first could now focus their attention on the four people and the Fairy Guild.

In the world of hunters, where it is difficult to advance even one level, there are hunters who have risen two levels in just two months?

This truly felt like an overseas topic.

“No, I do not plan to conduct a separate interview.”

There’s a lot of interest in you across the country, no.

It started to spread all over the world, and the Fairy Guild’s master room also started to catch fire.

Usually, most of the reporters contacted me through the main phone number, but most of the people from slightly higher guilds contacted me directly, asking how they found out Geonwoo’s direct number.

‘Who gave out the number to the reporters?’

To the extent that such suspicions are raised, even individual reporters have been receiving calls from a direct number these days.

‘I guess I’ll have to change my number soon.’

Since Geon-woo already had contact information for important people anyway, there was no problem with changing the direct number.

If something bothersome happened, Seojun would step forward and take care of it at any time.

‘I hope you’re doing well. I think it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other.’

While the four people were busy going to and from the gate and Geon-wu was taking care of everything, Seo-jun was also having a very busy day.

“I’m dying, really.”

First of all, the project that he started with his father and incompetent older brother, which he started a month ago when the four of them were just starting to raid a C-class dungeon, was now reaching a stable level after just a month.

“Let’s get some sleep, now…”

I slept about three hours a day for a month and felt like my head was pounding with the project I had put on the stable table.

Although it was originally possible to stabilize sooner, the delay could naturally be attributed to Kang San-ho and the incompetent Kang Sang-woo.

Kang Sang-woo, who was so openly agitated that it made me feel dizzy just thinking about it, was actually excluded from the project midway through the project under the authority of the general manager.

What he did was so blatant that it became an opportunity for even Kang Seok-ho, who had even placed small expectations on him, to completely give up on Kang Sang-woo.

‘Ugh…’

On the day Kang Sang-woo was excluded, the look on Kang San-ho’s face as his side completely disappeared was quite worth seeing.

‘I don’t want to do this again just to see that little brat.’

Seojun thought that if something like this happened again, he would really want to resign.

Of course, I know very well that the four of you are active, and considering that appropriate equipment and support must be provided, I would never be able to resign.

“First, let’s sleep..”

I had a strong desire to contact Geon-woo and hear what the four of them were up to, but right now, resolving this fatigue was my top priority.

***

“You know, I think Seojun is our sponsor.”

While Seojun was falling asleep after putting the project on the safe side, Arin was making a bombshell statement to the three people.

“Huh? What do you mean?”

Chaeyoon looked embarrassed.

I didn’t think he would suddenly make such a bombshell statement since he doesn’t often bring up Seojun’s story these days.

“You said that Sogang Group is sponsoring our guild.”

Everyone already knew that Sogang was sponsoring the project.

Not only the people in the guild but also external forces knew that fact.

So, it was not unknown to me that the four of them were almost called the princesses of Korea.

“But honestly, why would Sogang sponsor us?”

Now that we have realized that Arin is a top B-level hunter, and that the others are also high-growth hunters who have jumped up two levels in two months, it would not be surprising if sponsorships were pouring in for them.

However, when they started receiving support and the Fairy Guild was created, it was at a time when there was nothing yet.

“Seojun liked us and sponsored us, so this is the scenario. You said you were our fan from the beginning.”

“Isn’t that… you’re a fan of the show?”

Su-ah thought about it and spoke carefully.

Normally, Su-a would have agreed with Arin’s opinion and jumped around excitedly, but today, Arin’s argument had too many loopholes for her to agree with it.

However, all four of them did not know that what they said was true.

“No, but…! There are so many people in Sogang, but it is Seojun who sees and hears about us directly..!”

“Now, now. Stop, stop. Let’s stop chatting here. You know you have to go to the gate tomorrow too, right?”

Chae-yoon stopped Arin, telling her to stop making unfounded speculations.

“Let’s think about it more carefully, sister.”

Sua also patted Arin on the shoulder and headed to her room.

“..There were too many holes this time.”

When Na-hyeon said that, Arin fell into trouble again.

“..Is that so..”

He knew full well that it was actually a theory with too many holes to just insist on it.

No, it was literally full of holes.

It is a theory full of holes that simply contains a wish to meet Seojun once again.

“..sigh..let’s sleep.”

Lately, gate processing has been going on every day.

Up to D level, there were times when there were two or three per day, and for C level and higher, there was once a day.

Of course, it wasn’t because the guild needed money, it was like training to accelerate the growth of the four people.

“Hugh, I miss Seojun.”

Arin, who still couldn’t let go of her regrets, lay down on the bed and kicked her feet.

“Ugh, I have to sleep…”

Now that they were the only ones entering the gate without the instructors or Geonwoo, they needed to concentrate even more.

The clearing speed was getting faster, and the skill level and stats were steadily increasing, but the gate was like that anyway.

A place where even the slightest loss of concentration can cause a serious accident.

In the first place, Arin knew this better than anyone else.

Because she suffered from PTSD due to a serious accident, she couldn’t even enter the gate properly for a while.

“It seems like a long time ago.”

I thought that the reason why the trauma that had been bothering me so much now felt like a thing of the distant past was probably because I was living a very busy life now.

‘But I’ve grown a lot, haven’t I?’

A B-rank hunter.

It was vague up to C grade, but from B grade onwards, he was truly classified as a high-level hunter.

‘The fact that the clear time is getting faster means that there is still room for further growth, right?’

Moreover, it wasn’t just staying at B grade.

Clearly, they were growing more and more.

He didn’t know how much higher they would be able to climb in the future, but when they first met, Geon-wu said that they would be able to climb to a place that no one else could climb.

That’s what I said.

‘…Is it possible? No, I think something is possible.’

When I look at their growth these days, I sometimes think that those words were not true.

Some might say it was arrogance, but it was clear that such a level of arrogance was quite possible.

That’s because Hunter, who has risen two levels in two months, has grown at a level that cannot be found anywhere else.

“I can’t sleep.. I should sleep while watching the broadcast!”

In the end, Arin became swamped with thoughts and could not sleep, so she turned on the broadcast again today to communicate with viewers.

[I think it’s great that Arin has been consistent even after becoming a really high-level hunter. ]

[I really feel like he will play with us even after he becomes S-rank? Haha]

“Ah! Isn’t it obvious?! Even when I grow up, I will always broadcast!”

[ㅇㅇI believe what Arin says haha]

[Arin, you’re always cool]

“Oh! No. 1 fan, welcome! It feels like it’s been a while since I last saw you?!”

I also saw fans from the Hako era that I haven’t seen in a while.

[You’re so cool ㅠㅠ]

[The labang you did this time was so cool!! ]

When we entered the B-level gate, there were fans who came in after watching the video.

“Oh, that video is a bit embarrassing. lol. Thank you for saying it’s cool.”

[It’s a shame, it’s really cool lol]

[How big is the wall of flames? ]

“Oh, it’s because my skill level has risen a bit.”

Only after a long time of affectionate communication with the viewers was I finally able to fall asleep.
