“…Huh? Who…?”

“Academy…Friend, same class…”

Sojeong introduced Jihoon, who came next to her, to his father.

“Hello. nice to see you. My name is Jihoon Kang. Sojung is my close friend.”

Ji-hoon makes a polite first impression in front of So-jung’s father.

For some reason, Sojung felt reassured.

“Ah, nice to meet you. But I have some important work to do right now… so we’ll say hello later-”

“I called…for help”

Representative Han looks at Sojung with puzzled eyes.

It was a place where there was a war of words between guilds.

It’s not like she can’t read the mood of a fight…

In such a serious and important situation, did you call your friend to help you?

It was an uncharacteristic behavior for Sojung.

Representative Han thought that she was so desperate and frustrated that she was unable to make a rational decision.

‘I wonder…I wonder if I even brought a friend…’

As a poor father, CEO Han lamented that he always received help from his daughter.

“Really…a trustworthy friend. Dad…don’t worry too much now, it’s okay to leave it to me”

“No…Sojeong, what should I do if I invite a friend to a place like this…”

With Jihoon in front of him, CEO Han’s expression looks very troubled.

If it’s the same class as your daughter, it’s Academy 2 class.

At least I’ll be a B-class hunter.

He is a very high level hunter. He will be a talent worthy of being treated and taken with him wherever he goes in the world.

but

At this point, where we were fighting over a special gate with the Asung Guild, a large guild, I could never be of any help.

The same was true no matter how advanced the hunter was and the academy’s top class.

Representative Han quickly defeated So-jeong’s friend and tried to settle the matter with that despicable team leader of Aseong Guild.

But at that time, Team Leader Yoon Jae-hyuk of Asung Guild joined their conversation faster than Representative Han.

“You are CEO Han’s daughter’s friend? If you’re in Academy Class 2, wow… you’re dreaming of becoming a great hunter. CEO Han, do you really need to run a business while driving these young people to their deaths?”

Obvious mockery and sarcasm

Team leader Jaehyuk Yoon was completely trampling on the pride of Beautiful Guild CEO Han.

In the first place, large guilds like the stronghold guilds to which they belonged took action.

Are you saying that something like Beautiful, a new, small guild, has been lucky enough to have the right to subjugate a special gate?

Team leader Jaehyuk Yoon began to take out the cards he had brought with him to quickly conclude the negotiation.

“Representative Han…let’s stop this pointless argument and end it with us taking over the right to subdue. We will give you up to 500 million won.”

“500 million? Nonsense!… Do you know what special item will come out of that gate? Rather, it’s clear that even if you collect just the magic stones, you will earn more than ten times that amount…!”

“No…so, Representative Han! Give up your greed! Anyway, if you lose your right to subjugation due to lack of power and it comes up for auction again, you know that you will get kicked out without receiving even a penny, right? 500 million is a lot of money given by our CEO. I would be grateful if you gave me 500 million won for what I can get without paying a penny-”

“Just take it? Were you planning on taking it for granted in the first place?”

“What did you steal? Oh, really, don’t make things complicated!”

Team leader Yoon Jae-hyuk raises his voice with CEO Han, and then walks forward with long strides and looks threatening.

A dark scar runs from his right eye to the corner of his mouth, adding strength to his threat.

Asung Guild 4th year A-level hunter

Even in the large guild Asung Guild, he was recognized for his fighting skills and merits and rose to the position of team leader in just four years.

The experience of conquering the gate over 70 times left long cuts on his face, but he was rather proud of those scars.

How many hunters in Korea are there who have experienced as much combat in a short period of time as you?

Team leader Jaehyuk Yoon submitted his application for the ranking competition to be held next month.

He was confident that he would not be defeated anywhere with pure fighting power alone.

Minimum ranking 20th

You may get a much higher rank than that.

These days, as he prepares for the ranking battle, he is concentrating on training for battles with great hunters rather than monsters.

It was such a waste of time to spend on such trivial things.

“…Do you mean to do it by force?”

“Aren’t you having trouble communicating? Representative Han, if that famous Beautiful Guild enters the special gate, it is certain that all guild members will be killed. If you still can’t give up, we should think of a way to take it away. A guild representative who overdoes the task of subjugating a special gate with insufficient power. Isn’t it possible to stop at least one crazy person like that with force?”

“What…what? You really…”

Team leader Yoon Jae-hyuk is now throwing away what little courtesy he had and increasing the intensity of his threats.

Representative Han is left speechless by his seemingly logical sophistry.

It was then.

A smile appeared on Jihoon’s face as he watched the situation for a moment.

“Oh…it’s not cheap…it’s rude and ignorant…I’m glad.”

“…?”

A question appears on Team Leader Yoon’s face as he worked hard.

Turn your gaze and make eye contact with the owner of the voice.

“Why are polite words so harsh? While robbing me”

Team Leader Yoon couldn’t figure out why the young hunter suddenly went crazy.

“Are you…talking to me…?”

“Then where else is there a day robber here besides you? Ah, those thieves behind me… I guess I should ask them if they feel the same way…”

Jihoon shouts not at Team Leader Yoon but at the guild members behind him.

“Now…I feel guilty about committing robbery on this day. I followed him because he was my boss, but I think differently! Please raise your hand.”

“…”

“…”

These people just turn their heads and make eye contact with each other.

“As expected…! You’re all right! What is the name of your guild?”

“Ah… Stronghold Guild”

The answer came from Sojeong in the back.

“Our Beautiful Guild… legitimately obtained the right to subjugate… The fact that it was determined to be a special gate was also changed after our investigation team reported it… But as soon as it was determined to be a special gate, they made every excuse to hand over the right to subdue. …The Hunter Management Association only cites regulations and does not properly mediate… Since it is our right to subjugate, all we have to do is reinforce our forces…”

“Wow…that’s really shit. Large guild? Hunter Management Association? Are all powerful people doing whatever they want? It’s so good… Oh, that’s not it… But is Asung Guild a big guild? I think I’ve visited most of the large guilds in Korea… but this is my first time hearing about Asung Guild?“

It was true.

It was Jihoon who visited five large guilds in one day to find 1st class cadets at the academy.

However, the guilds that Jihoon visited did not share information about Jihoon with other large guilds.

The fact that the guild’s biggest combatants lost to one academy cadet was by no means something to be proud of.

“Hey friend. I don’t know what you’re talking about, but you’re talking about adults, right? Don’t intervene-”

“You said that your uncle’s representative also approved it, right? I committed robbery on this day”

“Is this guy really crazy! Since a while ago, you’ve been robbing me, robbing me… What are you doing, you bastard? It’s Academy Class 2, so there’s nothing to see? Anyway, it’s bloody-”

“Uncle’s guild. Let’s disband.”

“What?”

“It seems like it’s a large guild and they do whatever they want…let’s disband it today.”

“Huh…heh, now that I look at this guy, he’s just a fool. Representative Han. You need to take care of your daughter, what is this? Your daughter is with this crazy guy-”

pop

pop

pop

pop

With a strange explosion sound, the right and left walls split apart.

Team Leader Yoon was surprised by the crazy man’s movements that he had momentarily missed, but then turned his gaze to look at the cracked walls.

Struggle, fight

Among the falling stones, his teammates were stuck.

“What is this…”

Weee

Weee

Before Team Leader Yoon can come to his senses, the entire building is covered by loud sirens.

Is it a fire warning sound or a terrorist warning sound?

Whatever it was, it was clear that it was a sound caused by the incident just now.

Sigh

Cheoeok

Before I knew it, the crazy guy was putting a knife into the sheath on his waist.

Wait, when did that guy pull out the knife?

Team Leader Yoon can’t believe he can’t keep up with the crazy guy’s movements.

And, why is my face so wet… and sore…

“Ugh…Ugh…”

Team Leader Yoon raises both hands and covers his bleeding face.

I don’t even know when or how it happened.

Even if it wasn’t the face, but the neck, you wouldn’t have known, right?

An eerie feeling envelops my entire body, and I finally start to see the crazy man’s face.

“Mister. Take the kids and go to the guild representative and tell them. The stronghold guild is being disbanded today…”

Team Leader Yoon feels indescribable fear from the grinning expression on the crazy man’s face.

As I keep wiping the blood flowing down from my face, I suddenly feel it.

This is…

It must be a scar that is exactly symmetrical to the original scar.

Among dozens of combat experiences, I am convinced that this is the most dangerous moment.

Weee

The siren sound that is still ringing disturbs Team Leader Yoon’s already confused mind.

‘I’m not sure what happened, but I have to tell the CEO…’

Team Leader Yoon takes out his cell phone from his pocket.

Sigh

The bullet fired from Ji-hoon’s finger pierces Team Leader Yoon’s cell phone and palm at the same time.

“Ugh…!…Ugh…what…what…”

“Don’t call, just come and tell them. Show me your little bitch.”

There must be a pocket of magic power… Jihoon, in the midst of all this, found a way to save on taxi fares.

“Jihoon… w… this is the Hunter Management Association… ”

One floor of the building quickly became a mess.

Next to Jihoon, Seolhyun anxiously grabs his sleeve, forgetting the sound of her nose.
