“Ugh!!! Ugh”

slap

“Ugh! Fuck you-”

slap

“Let go!! This crazy bird-”

slap

Goldstar Guild lobby.

Wang Dong-su, a giant hunter who was trying to drag Ji-hoon out.

As soon as he placed his hand on Jihoon’s shoulder, he could quickly sense that something was wrong.

It was Wang Dong-su, who was trying to drag him out by pressing down on his shoulders with his own strength as a B-class hunter.

But no matter how much you push or pull, it doesn’t move at all, just like a rock.

No, not only is he not moving, but he is also holding his hand on his shoulder and giving it strength.

Against myself, a B-class hunter with strength skills.

Duuut

Wang Dong-su, who had raised his magical power, concentrated all his strength on his captured right hand.

I have never been forced to my knees anywhere.

He was confident that even if he was matched up with an A-class hunter, he would be pushed back in speed and skills, but not in strength.

But here and now.

I ended up on one knee, losing the hand-to-hand fight to the person who introduced myself as an academy cadet.

If nothing else, Wang Dong-soo can’t believe that he was pushed out of power.

His absolute pride collapsed in an instant.

He had let go of rational thinking and was swearing again.

“Let go, you fucking bastard!!”

slap

It doesn’t hurt.

It’s just that the sound was so frivolous that it caught the attention of everyone in the lobby, so his slap didn’t hurt.

slap

Wang Dong-su, ignoring Ji-hoon’s scolding, is now struggling to free the grabbed hand, even if it means using all of his other hand.

”What are you doing, Mr. Lee-”

slap

It hurts more than before?

Moreover, no matter how hard I tried to pull it out with both hands, his hand was still held and wouldn’t budge.

Duuut

Wang Dong-su draws up a lot of his magic power and throws a punch at Ji-hoon’s face with his free hand.

Fuuu

Clink

It’s good

“Kyaak”

Jihoon catches his fist with his fist as well.

As the two powerful forces meet and a shock wave spreads, all the glass in the lobby shatters and fragments scatter into the air.

It wasn’t just the glass that was broken.

All of Wang Dong-su’s fist bones that collided with Ji-hoon’s fist were broken.

“Ugh…Ugh”

Wang Dong-su, with one hand caught and the other crushed and hanging down, begins to groan from exhaustion.

“Why on earth do you get hit for speaking carelessly? Guys like you”

“What…what?”

Now he is down on both knees, and he carefully raises his head and meets Jihoon’s eyes.

“You said you were just looking for someone. Even if I had spoken kindly to the information desk clerk, he would have gone back… But guys like you always use informal language and swear words… Thank you”

“What kind of bullshit is that? What are you doing you bastard-”

slap

“Wow…”

This time, the goal is not to make a loud noise, but to inflict pain.

Wang Dong-soo’s cheek bursts and several teeth protrude from his mouth.

“You’re not learning? Well, the louder it is, the better”

It was Ji-hoon who secretly hoped that Wang Dong-soo would persistently swear more and get beaten up to attract attention for a long time.

“Why are you silent…don’t swear anymore?”

“…”

You got hit for swearing…

Wang Dong-su comes to enlightenment and although it is unfair, he keeps his mouth shut.

“…Say something, even if it’s just rude…”

Ji-hoon stopped hitting Wang Dong-su and asked him to say anything, but Wang Dong-su, who had already figured out why he was being hit, kept his mouth shut and looked at the floor like a dumb person.

Goldstar Guild B-class hunter. Wang Dong-su, who is said to have no one to match his strength, is in an unsightly state kneeling in the lobby with his eyes down to the floor.

In the lobby, guild employees were already gathered in groups of twos and threes, and soon the elevator opened and four men were approaching Jihoon.

“Who are you from?”

A sports-headed, strong-shouldered man takes the lead and asks Ji-hoon politely in a soft voice that is the complete opposite of his appearance.

A knife wound cutting through more than half of the face.

The marks were quite ugly and grotesque, showing that his life as a hunter had not been easy, but the expression underneath them was infinitely gentle.

“This is Kang Ji-hoon, an academy cadet. I came to visit a fellow academy cadet named Kang Hyeon-dong.”

Ji-hoon suddenly lets go of Wang Dong-su’s hand.

A heavily crushed left hand falls next to his shattered right hand.

“Why don’t you give your employees some etiquette training as well? How bad did I learn that it was okay not to get hit…”

Wang Dong-soo’s eyes, which had been drooping at Ji-hoon’s words, widened and he had to open his mouth again.

Did he gain strength because of those on his side who got off the elevator?

“You bastard!! Now I’m behind-”

Without hesitation, Jihoon stomps his foot and kicks him in the stomach.

Jihoon doesn’t care how powerful the new people who appear in front of him are.

This was inside their guild, and Jihoon wasn’t worried at all about how many hunters could run out with weapons.

Looks like he just did what he had to do.

Jihoon calmly adjusts his posture.

Wang Dong-su, who flew away, is holding his ribs and foaming at the mouth.

“…”

“…”

Are they invisible?

People just look on, speechless at Jihoon’s unstoppable violence.

Among those who approached Jihoon, the scarred man at the front was Geum Hyun-seok, the general team leader of the Geumseong Guild Gate Subjugation Team and the 24th ranked A-level hunter.

His eyes briefly turn to Baekwol hanging on Jihoon’s waist, but then return to their original gaze.

“…You are a very rough person”

“No. I hit people while watching them.”

“Let’s consider creating a regulation internally in the guild that requires etiquette training…”

“Good idea.”

Jihoon and Sooyoung followed his instructions and took the elevator up to the 30th floor.

“So…are you saying that I should choose between attending the academy faithfully or dropping out?”

“Yes. It’s accurate”

A total of five people, including Kang Hyeon-dong, Geum Hyun-seok, and three people who appear to be guild insiders, are sitting facing Ji-hoon and Su-young across two tables with tea on them.

“Who did you say you were?”

“Kang Ji-hoon”

“Hmm… This is my first time hearing your name, and this is my first time seeing your face… Was there a kid like you in class 1?”

“No, I’m not in class 1 yet”

wiggle

Kang Hyeon-dong’s eyebrows furrow.

He stares intently at Jihoon, who sits across from him and calmly drinks tea.

Soon, the ranker next to him, Geum Hyeon-seok, notices the atmosphere and quietly speaks up.

“You have Baekwol. What is your relationship with Hunter Seong-jun Seong-jun?”

When did you see this again?

Jihoon frowns slightly and answers.

“We don’t know each other very well. We stopped by the academy for a moment and exchanged swords a few times, but then he suddenly forced himself to hand it over to me and left”

There is no way I would hand over a sword as famous as Baekwol to just anyone…

No matter how you look at it, Geum Hyun-seok thought that the person in front of him was not an ordinary academy cadet.

“But who are you that you should go to the academy or not?”

Kang Hyeon-dong, who was watching, asks Ji-hoon as if he couldn’t contain his curiosity.

His question was very valid. Of course, I wouldn’t understand why they suddenly appear and tell me to do this and that.

But the person in front of me was Kang Ji-hoon.

“You used your name, received subsidies, and accessed information freely without appearing at the academy, right? How is all that possible?”

Jihoon’s question

“Because I am strong. Isn’t it obvious? This is possible because I am a Class A hunter so powerful that the Academy can’t do anything about it.”

eat

Jihoon burst out laughing at Hyundong’s bold answer.

Because it was the answer I expected and expected.

When Jihoon interacted with the hunters, he kept feeling something in common with the warriors without knowing why.

Obviously, this was a modern society, but like the martial arts world, the law of strong self-respect prevailed.

Those with power make the laws, and society simply tolerates and follows them up to a certain line.

This was something Jihoon, who had survived in Moorim for a long time, was extremely familiar with and loved.

“I am stronger. Even if I take away the privileges you earned through my own strength, you won’t be dissatisfied.”

Jihoon’s outspoken remarks.

Not only Kang Hyeon-dong but also the four people next to him could not help but be shocked.

Does that guy know where he is and who he is dealing with?

Geum Hyeon-seok hurriedly spoke before the atmosphere became serious.

“The academy has already provided convenience-”

“Concessions must be made by the guild, not the academy. Isn’t the Academy a government institution and the guild a private company? If you want, you can also use the power of the guild with that friend. That friend will definitely have to make one choice today, either return to the academy or drop out.”

Not a bulldozer…

It seemed as if Jihoon’s every word echoed throughout the conference room.

Everyone in front was speechless and could only stare at Jihoon.

Han Soo-young, sitting next to Ji-hoon, was the only person in the room who thought differently.

‘Jihoon…has charisma…’
