The story returned to its main point.

What profession should you add to your party?

“In the end, what we need is a melee dealer and a tank.”

There are numerous occupations in the hunter industry.

As you head to a higher-ranked dungeon, the speed and perceived difficulty of conquering the dungeon fluctuates significantly up and down depending on how much you understand and combine the occupations.

It’s still the same now.

The tanks and melee dealers I said I needed are just more comprehensive roles than classes.

In other words, it is important to decide which occupation among those currently needed as a team will be selected.

“Umm… .”

Many faces appear on the tablet screen on the table.

All of these are first-year classmates who are eligible to form a team.

Among them, those in gray mean that team formation has already been completed.

As I looked at the students who had not yet been organized, a familiar face caught my eye.

Seoyeon Son.

Why is he stuck here?

“… “Wasn’t this person a second year student?”

When I asked, pretending to be as indifferent as possible, Shin Yu-jeong gave me the answer I wanted.

“Oh, this senior? “I heard that since I don’t have any practical experience, I will be working with first-year students this semester.”

“I see.”

There is no need for practical experience.

The Magic Tower is only a place to learn and research magic.

In terms of magic alone, it is far superior to the Korean university curriculum, but other than that, it is almost impossible to learn the basic skills needed as a hunter.

The same goes for Seoyeon.

You may have learned a lot about magic, but you probably haven’t learned much about being a hunter.

Lim Na-eun, who was next to him, chimed in.

“But you know what? “Senior Lee, I’m taking magic classes, basic swordsmanship, and even basic close combat.”

… Magic and swordsmanship?

Does he want to become a magic swordsman?

That would be almost impossible.

Hunter society has been established for several decades.

The number of geniuses born with talents in both sword and magic was quite high.

All of them did not want to ruin either side, so they bravely challenged themselves to kill both sword and magic birds, but none of them could even reach the A-level level.

“I heard that’s very inefficient.”

The answer lies in Shin Yu-jeong’s blunt words.

It’s just that it’s inefficient.

I sharpened a single sword in Son Si-woo’s body for nearly 30 years.

After cutting down and killing tens of thousands of monsters over the years, swinging the sword alone for tens of thousands of hours, and competing with masters thousands of times, he finally reached the end, not even the end.

Magic is no different.

Just like me, Joohee Han also honed her magic for decades and reached what she is today.

Even though she and I were both considered to have natural talent in our respective fields.

Even though swords and magic are taught differently, they are very different.

It is difficult to master one training, but combining two different training methods is not just cutting the efficiency in half, it is the same as cutting it in half.

Human time is limited, but what we need to learn doubles, or even triples, and we end up dying or giving up before we can master it.

So, why don’t you say it’s inefficient and it’s exhausting?

As countless failures pile up, no one in modern times harbors the vain dream of becoming a magic swordsman.

If you have both talents, most people choose the path of becoming a wizard.

Wizards are an occupation whose supply is very low compared to demand, so they are treated well at best.

“But is that magic swordsman thing really possible?”

“Yes… “I don’t think I can.”

Lim Na-eun shook her head at the question asked by Shin Yu-jeong.

“It’s so hard to learn just one magic, but learning a sword here… .”

“but… “It would be difficult for me to use a sword and a shield, but using a sword and magic would be even more difficult.”

Two people sharing their opinions and looking skeptical.

Who wouldn’t say that, but I’m in the same position as them.

A magic swordsman, or even a real magic swordsman, can never be created through normal methods.

So is it possible in an unusual way?

It’s possible.

In my opinion, there are only two ways to become a true magic swordsman.

They are either born with a level of talent that cannot even be categorized as a genius, and it seems as if heaven had made a mistake by allowing them to be born on earth.

Otherwise, you just have to live your life twice.

If you only learn swords or magic for one life and then die, you only have to delve into the other one in your second life, right?

If you do that, you will be able to achieve great success in both.

Of course, using those two things harmoniously in battle is another matter.

The conversation between the two continued.

“But the last time I saw this senior, I heard he was good at using a sword.”

“Yes, I was surprised when I saw it too.”

“It’s just my opinion. I don’t know about other people, but this senior may be able to do it.”

“why?”

Shin Yoo-jeong answers with a frustrated expression to Lim Na-eun, who asks with an innocent expression.

“Why, why? “Do you not know who this senior’s parents are?”

“Ah, Hunter Siwoo Son and Hunter Joohee Han!”

“okay. She is the daughter of two S-class hunters who are unrivaled in swords and magic in our country. Since he was born with the genes of two people at the same time, I wonder how talented he is, don’t you think?”

“Yes, after hearing what you said, Yujeong might think so.”

Lim Na-eun’s eyes suddenly turned to me.

“Dojin, what do you think?”

Attention was focused on me, who was quietly listening.

It’s my opinion.

“well… .”

The Suryu swordsmanship that Seoyeon used last time still remains clearly in my mind.

As I already said, I have never told this to anyone, including my daughter.

If he really learned my swordsmanship by observing it with his own eyes, then he would fall under the former of the two unusual methods mentioned above.

then.

“Maybe it’s possible?”

It was time to blurt out a vague possibility.

Grumble!

There was a loud noise coming from the friction between the wooden chair and the marble floor, and a very strong presence was felt from behind.

At the same time, the eyes of Lim Na-eun and Shin Yu-jeong, who were sitting across from them, grew bigger and bigger, and they suddenly stood up from their seats.

“Stop, senior!”

“ah… .”

When I turned my head back to see the shocked expressions of the two people, I saw Son Seo-yeon, who had been the center of our conversation just a moment ago, looking at us with a calm expression.

Considering the sound of the chair being dragged and the position, I think he was sitting behind us.

“S-sorry. “I really didn’t know you were there!”

“… “I’m sorry.”

Two people bowing their heads and offering words of apology.

… Why are they acting like that all of a sudden?

During our conversation, was there anything that could have hurt his feelings?

“Why the apple all of a sudden?”

When I asked out of curiosity, the two people scolded me with their eyes, telling me to pay attention.

No, did I do something wrong?

Just when I was about to feel aggrieved, Seoyeon, who was staring blankly in this direction, finally opened her mouth.

“Dojin… My junior is right. “You did nothing wrong.”

Look at this.

The parties also say that what I said is correct, but why are they acting like that because they are so scared?

by the way… , I feel very strange hearing my daughter call me junior.

It feels like it’s clearly nailed down that it’s no longer a father-daughter relationship.

It’s not a good feeling, and it’s also difficult to see it as a bad feeling.

The only word that comes to mind is that it’s strange.

I looked up at him blankly and our eyes met.

A dull, somewhat empty look.

“I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but… “I heard you’re looking for team members.”

“… yes.”

It’s cold.

“That spot… , can I fill it in? “As a melee dealer.”

“… … .”

How could this ominous premonition be wrong?

A dilemma has arrived.

If you think about it calmly, Seoyeon is definitely an outstanding resource among the remaining melee dealers.

In times of emergency, he can also be used as a long-distance dealer, so it would be correct to view him as an all-round dealer, not a close-range dealer.

Although it was only a one-time encounter, the swordsmanship he showed back then was far superior to that of most first-year swordsmen.

If you look at it up to this point, it would be strange if you didn’t pick it up… .

The problem is that I cannot yet comfortably see this child.

I know.

I have already become a different person, and since I have decided to live as Kim Do-jin, I and I are not in a father-daughter relationship, but are just husband and wife.

But what is the point of a person’s mind? Does making and severing things happen the way you want them to?

I still need time.

Maybe it’s the past, maybe it’s a past life… , to look at old relationships a little more detachedly.

So, unfortunately, let’s decline the current offer.

“I guess that’s a bit difficult… .”

“I agree!”

“If you’re as skilled as your senior… “There is no reason to refuse.”

“Then there are already two votes in favor, so the decision is made! Please take care of me, senior!”

“Please take care of me during the semester, senior.”

“… Please take care of me too.”

The three people held hands and greeted each other cheerfully, as if they had already made a decision.

… It was decided by majority vote, right?
