Chapter 80
Ha Gyuhyuk held my hand like that.
The Touch One Training Facility opened without incident, and Jang Deuk-sung, who had desperately tried to proclaim his innocence, could not escape the long arm of the law.
In the end, he crumbled without even putting up a fight.
〔Former Hunter Association Chairman ‘Jang Deuk-sung’ Found to Have Embezzled Association Funds…〕
〔Former Chairman Jang Deuk-sung Fined 500 Million Won and Stripped of Hunter Status〕
〔Touch One Guild’s Official Documents Demanding ‘Cooperation to Utilize Constellations’ Fully Disclosed〕
In truth, fully disclosing the contents of those official documents carried risks for us as well.
It implied there had been some form of communication between the Hunter Association and Touch One.
But Ha Gyuhyuk insisted strongly.
‘Se-um, I believe we need to reveal this.’
‘Honestly, I’m not thrilled about it… What’s your reason for wanting to do this?’
‘People have the right to know. And they also need to understand that you didn’t move according to anyone’s will but your own.’
‘Hmm…’
He had a point—it was strange that other Hunters remained ignorant while Jang Deuk-sung attempted such wrongdoing.
Ha Gyuhyuk seemed more motivated by the desire to protect me, but I decided to respect his conviction.
Besides, Touch One was already receiving excessive praise for building a training facility instead of monopolizing dungeon conquests.
With the full text of the official documents now public, public opinion naturally shifted.
The narrative became: how arrogant must a guild be to attempt manipulating Constellations themselves?
〔Wow, she’s not getting called a leftist for nothing lol
And just watching how she lets that bastard live shows pure dignity
Honestly, all those people who said Constellations look down on humans should go bury their heads
Just seeing how she lets you all live proves she’s the icon of compassion itself
She’s definitely a saint〕
Back then when I went into the Dungeon, it was a low-tier Dungeon, but it was really beautiful.
Honestly, it’s kind of funny to talk about whether an Avatar form is beautiful or not. Don’t you know that Constellations can create their Avatar forms however they want?
I’m just saying she’s pretty, why are you being so sensitive? Are you jealous?
But honestly, the Hunter Association itself wasn’t really the problem—it was Jjangttuk who was the issue.
We could clearly see people being ground down beneath that agreement with our own eyes.
I was an intern there, and I was like, “They’re really making interns do this?” I thought the work itself became the Hunter Association, so I wondered if that’s why there was no system like this.
I heard there was a lot of talk about the Hunter Association frequently posting intern job openings, but it seems they’ve switched to just grinding through their workforce like this.
I knew everyone who knew about it, but there were so many people trying to figure out who I was if I wrote about it, so I just stayed quiet.
ㄴ Oh right; When I write reviews about interns at the association, they find people who have quit and ask if it was you who wrote it. Even though I wasn’t the one who wrote it, my heart sank haha. But my supervisor also cried, saying that rather than telling me to delete it, it would be better to delete it quickly because the president of the association is looking for it. I hope that supervisor also left the company safely.
But there’s been a lot of dismissal saying it was made by a D-rank Hunter from Touch One, so it seems right to reconsider.
Honestly, because of my rank, I couldn’t even use the Training Ground, so for the first time in my life, I actually wanted my rank to be lowered.
〔Recent status of the training facility Touch One supposedly built.jpg
I am the one who entered the training ground myself this time! Just in case, I verified my hunter ID level ㅠㅠ
I’m honestly a C-rank that doesn’t fit anywhere, so I felt a lot of self-doubt…
It was very difficult to know that there was nothing I could do with this even though it was the level I was born in. But I heard that there was a training center at Touch One, so I just assumed I was being fooled and went!!
Basically, you just pay the facility rental fee and you can use it comfortably all day long
(You can book for a week or a month in advance, but the reservation pool is full right now, so all we can do is wait for cancellations to open up!!)
Since other Hunters aren’t around, I can take photos freely and share the private room interior~
It seems like the interior transforms differently depending on each individual Hunter!
Since I’m a magic-type, it’s equipped with magic skill analysis machines and equipment to build up physical strength and other attributes
And there are edible foods and potions next to it!
They’re basic-grade potions, but honestly, their market value is pretty high, and I was shocked they provide this much…
(Apparently you can take them with you)
They say if you’re lucky you might see Guild Master Ha Gyuhyuk or Constellation Ulrim, but I didn’t get to
When I made my reservation, there were still some slots available, but it seems like there are none now
I’m not sure how others feel about the rank restriction, but it definitely made things convenient for me
And here’s a review of those buff-like effects around the Training Facility~
These are my previous stats—a bit embarrassing, but I’ll share them
Strength: B-
Agility: C+
Magic Power: B+
Mental Fortitude: D
Adaptability: B+
My mental strength was extremely low, but I was holding on with application and magical power.
And here are the results after training more than 6 hours a day for a week at the Training Facility!!
Strength: B
Agility: B-
Magic Power: A-
Mental Fortitude: C
Adaptability: B+
Honestly, you all know how difficult it is to raise even a single stat by one tier
It’s almost impossible to raise this much just by working hard for a week.
Honestly, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to book here again
But seeing myself reach B-tier, where I can now aspire toward A-tier, gave me real hope
I’m definitely going to keep trying to make reservations〕
ㄴ I really wanted to get into this place so much that I seriously searched to see if there was a way to downgrade my rating.
But then why did you put a rank restriction in place? You said D-rank hunters aren’t even a thing anymore, Guild Master.
The deal was set because Constellation said he directly wanted to give the weakest ones an opportunity, since high-rank Hunters have places to train anywhere, whether in Dungeons or elsewhere, but low-rank Hunters often don’t easily get such chances.
Ah…
“Well, honestly, I was going to say it would be a pretty arrogant choice if the Guild Master or another Hunter had done it, but since it was the Constellation who did it, I can’t say anything.”
I agree.
If that’s what Constellation said, then I have to follow… Ulrim.
If you try to transfer a reservation here to premium, it gets automatically cancelled right away—what kind of algorithm is that?
That’s just divine punishment, what else.
ㄴ Hahahahahahahaha But honestly, since the constellation is directly blocking it, you will be punished ah ㅠ
“Are there no plans to expand the Training Ground? Lately, making reservations is really crazy—it’s so difficult.”
I tried submitting an inquiry, but they said it’s not possible yet because expanding would paralyze Touch One Guild’s operations.
ㄴ They say there are less than 15 guild members in Touch One ㅠㅠ Oh, I should apply when they recruit. When will they recruit again??
I don’t have any plans within the next half year.
That won’t work~!!!
Of course, there were those who viewed this with displeasure.
How could a mere guild, backed by a Constellation’s power, wield such tremendous authority? That was the gist of their complaints.
As if no such guild had ever existed before.
Naturally, they were ignored.
Within those few months, the training facility that Touch One had created became so crowded that we reached the point of hiring a separate management team.
‘We’re a guild. Not a training facility. We have our own work to do.’
So we delegated most of the work and secured individual dungeons for our members to conquer.
Everyone growing stronger at the Touch One Training Facility would become Ha Gyuhyuk’s karma.
People claim that Constellations are infinitely benevolent and generous to those beneath them.
But I am a deeply biased existence that listens only to Ha Gyuhyuk’s voice.
Touch One growing abundantly within the Constellation’s embrace—so incredibly favorable that it’s almost unbelievable.
It’s truly no different from a kindergarten. The original Touch One Guild Members were, well, what you might call Ulrim’s faction.
“Constellation! We’re going to conquer a dungeon!”
“Alright.”
And so several months passed in the blink of an eye.
* * *
For me it was ‘in the blink of an eye,’ but not for Touch One.
If this were a novel, this would have been the opening of Part Two.
We finally began recruiting new Guild Members, and tens of thousands of applications flooded in, crashing the website.
After completing the first round of screening, hundreds of applications remained, requiring an all-nighter.
But for Ha Gyuhyuk and me, tonight held a different meaning.
“Se-um, please be careful on your way.”
“Alright.”
Today was the day I was returning to Sungdo for the first time in months.
On the rooftop of the Touchone Building, Ha Gyuhyuk held my hand tightly.
“Ha Gyuhyuk, if you keep holding on like that, I can’t go.”
“Ah, I’m sorry.”
“You’re being foolish, really.”
The man before my eyes.
My client, who was now approaching S-rank.
[ In Sungdo, you grant client ‘Ha Gyuhyuk’ qualification to awaken the trait ‘One Who Monopolizes Divine Favor.’ ]
