“Chairman, this is the survey data.”

Secretary Kim, who completed the detailed investigation just one day after receiving the order, handed the investigation materials to Kang Seok-ho.

“Oh, yes. Let me see.”

After receiving the materials, he began to carefully examine the stack of documents.

“There are only four hunters in your organization? Hmm.”

Kang Seok-ho also knew well about the four people who saved Seo-jun in the department store incident.

This was because the investigation into the four people had already ended, as it was a matter of saving his beloved grandson.

But that doesn’t mean there are only four hunters in the guild.

“Hmm, four people. Four people…”

Secretary Kim also knew well why Kang Seok-ho spoke less.

During his research, he also became concerned about whether this was a properly functioning guild since there were only four hunters in the group.

“You haven’t even entered the gate yet?”

“Yes, I say so. It is said that they have recently been conducting gate tours in collaboration with the Nightmare Guild…”

A situation where 4 hunters are not even able to go to the gate.

This situation itself was nothing but a worrying situation for Kang Seok-ho.

It wasn’t that I didn’t trust Seojun’s insight.

‘It was also said that he had awakened a special ability.’

I definitely thought it was natural that the guild would grow bigger someday, but I couldn’t help but think that it might take longer than I thought.

“I need to talk about this with Seojun.”

“You will be angry if you find out that I investigated your background.”

“The chairman is looking into the guild that is lending money with company funds. That’s nothing to get angry about.”

If the investigation was truly into private matters, Kang Seok-ho would not have been able to be this confident.

Since the company was spending money, Seojun had nothing to do if he insisted that he had looked into this as the chairman.

“Let Seojun call me.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Kang Seok-ho was still deep in thought as he watched Secretary Kim return to his seat and prepare for the call.

‘No matter what, it’s a guild in name and appearance. Wouldn’t it be better to increase the number of affiliated hunters?’

One tank, two dealers, and one healer.

It was true that the composition of the engineering school was not bad.

If all four were high-level hunters, running a guild with just this composition could have been quite a unique task.

‘But the highest grade is D grade.’

It is unclear how long it will take to grow and when we will be able to get to the gate.

In the current situation, I thought it was just a waste of manpower and funds.

‘But I’m sure he did it because he had something on his mind.’

Seojun was a child with unusual talent from an early age.

Even though he was a child who had a reason for his actions, there was no way he would have created this situation without thinking.

So I was curious.

What on earth is that thought?

smart-

When you’ve been thinking about it for a long time.

“Chairman, I heard you called me.”

Seojun’s voice was heard.

“Uh, okay. Come in.”

I wonder what plan my beloved grandson will surprise himself with today.

Kang Seok-ho, with a pleasant smile, gave permission for Seo-jun to enter.

“How are you, Arin? Can you try using the skill today?”

A Buddhist warrior who must fight by combining flame magic using fireballs and fire waves.

Since it was indoors, it was an environment where you could cast at least a fireball, if not a fire wave.

It was a training room built using good magic stones.

“..Yes, I think I can do it today..!”

Although quite a bit of time had passed since she started training, Arin was still struggling because she couldn’t even throw a fireball properly.

“Don’t be nervous, don’t be scared. It’s okay even if you can’t do it, so eat comfortably.”

It was sad to see his hands shaking from the trauma, but he said he wanted to go one step further.

Eunjeong just watched quietly and played the role of encouraging him.

“Whoa.. I can do it, I can do it.”

There were four people who have been touring the gate these days.

As the field trip went on, I couldn’t help but feel like I wanted to go to the gate by myself.

Because they were four people who loved the work of hunters that much.

“You can do it..”

However, the biggest problem was that Arin still could not use her skills properly.

In fact, the other three were in a state where they could perform well if they went to the E-class gate right away, so it was inevitable that Arin would become impatient.

‘If I do well, I should be able to get to the E-level gate.’

Since her grade was D, it was clear that being able to use the skill would be of great help.

Even while I was thinking about that, I was working hard on my magic power.

I felt like my nervous mind was relieved when I used my magic power.

Moreover, I was starting to feel like I could really succeed at something today.

“I’ll try!”

I kept repeating in my head that what happened inside the gate was just a mistake and an accident.

Besides, things are completely different now than then.

Even if Arin made a mistake, Eunjeong was an experienced hunter who was fully capable of handling and resolving the situation.

The magic stone in the room was able to sufficiently protect the guild building.

Of course, there was a high probability that this perfect situation would not be created when the girls went through the gate by themselves someday, but now was not the time to worry about that.

Anyway, if it was the first time you entered the gate, Geonwoo and the instructors would have been with you for a while.

It was clear that if they continued to increase their experience like that, even if they made a mistake someday, there would come a situation where they would be able to resolve and deal with it on their own.

‘They say even top hunters make mistakes. So, I’m fine.’

In fact, if it weren’t for a small or medium-sized guild, the situation Arin experienced would have been dealt with quickly, and it wouldn’t have left such a traumatic experience.

It was a frequent situation for a nervous rookie to make a mistake at the gate, so it would be absurd to say that the situation was entirely Arin’s fault.

‘The target is a specially made punching bag.’

There was a sandbag specially made for hunters’ training, and it had the advantage of being made of a special material that could withstand most attacks, so it could be used for quite a long time.

Of course, the downside was that it was expensive.

“Fireball!”

There was no need to shout out the name of the skill, but it was true that chanting helped you focus a little more when using it.

Grumbling-

Arin couldn’t even create fireworks properly until yesterday, but this time, she probably had enough mind control.

The flames bloomed properly, and the flames that rose hit the punching bag.

pop!

The fireball that hit the sandbag made a strong explosion sound, but it didn’t even leave any scratches on the sandbag.

The flame that was blooming could not find anything to burn and died down.

“Ha, ha.. Well, I did it..!”

However, since the sandbag was originally made of that material, no one cared about that.

No, rather.

‘What, just now… it was really strong for a D-class fireball.’

Eunjeong saw the fireball used by Arin for the first time today.

For a fireball normally used by D-class hunters, the firepower was very strong.

“Ah, good job! You finally succeeded, Arin!”

Of course, my priority was to put aside my thoughts and praise Arin, who had succeeded in performing the skill right before my eyes.

“How did you feel?”

“Honestly, I was completely scared, scared… I was scared, but I think I was able to gain courage because I thought there was someone who could help me deal with it even if I made a mistake.”

Eun-jeong may be the one who can handle it now, but it was clear that the other three would take her place someday.

“If you keep doing that, you will be able to enter the gate without much trouble.”

In fact, there wasn’t much Eunjeong could tell us about skills.

She wasn’t a Buddhist monk, and in any case, Eun-jeong’s main field was psychology.

The main purpose of her decision to supervise the skills related to using skills was to reduce anxiety about psychological factors.

‘I wonder if it would be okay to invite an instructor soon.’

Professional instructors who could teach fire-related skills professionally were already ready.

However, in a situation where the skill cannot be used, there is little point in calling a professional instructor, so I have been putting it off until now.

“Should we continue to practice using skills this week, and then call an instructor who can teach us about fire skills in earnest starting next week?”

Arin was surprised and responded to Eunjung smiling.

In “? Then the teacher is not coming anymore..?!”

“Well, the psychological part was largely cured.”

“Oh, not yet..!”

Of course, Arin did not know that one day there would come a time when she would have to say goodbye to Eunjeong.

However, he looked very embarrassed as he didn’t expect it to happen this quickly.
