Episode 10

Chapter 10: Advice? (2)

The first day schedule at the Hunter Training Center was notoriously more brutal than one could imagine.

Even those who had become proper hunters would sometimes shudder when it appeared in their dreams.

People who until yesterday were nothing more or less than ordinary modern citizens had to run around the training ground for 2 hours in a single day, study about Black Gates, and even engage in sparring matches.

The terrible thing was that this was merely the morning schedule.

However, most hunters say this:

The afternoon training was so vicious that the morning could be considered comfortable in comparison.

At this point, the trainees were leisurely eating lunch in the dining area, still unaware of the future that awaited them.

Several instructors had eaten lunch early and were preparing for the afternoon.

Unlike other training sessions, there were as many as three instructors preparing for the afternoon training: Shinjiyeon, Jeongyujin, and Yunsangwoo.

Even though there were more people than other training sessions, they had to move busily since they would be late if they didn’t prepare in advance, when a familiar face passed by them in the corridor.

“Oh? It’s Senior Jihun.”

“Are you going to eat?”

“Ooh, how was the sparring?”

None other than Gangjihun, the instructor in charge of sparring education.

Gangjihun looked at the three with an expression of being caught at the wrong time, scratching his head while clearly showing his annoyance.

‘Of all people, I had to run into these guys.’

As Gangjihun’s reaction suggested, it was quite a famous combination.

These three, called the Scout Trio, were the three musketeers of Ilseong Guild, which belonged to the Ilseong Group that was said to be second only to Taebaek Guild and was one of Korea’s four major A-rank guilds.

They had tremendous skills and considerable experience.

But they had two drawbacks.

“Right, how was the sparring?”

“Is trainee Dohyun really that good?”

“It seemed like trainee Jiyuchan lost, is that true?”

“Really? They fought and Jiyuchan lost?”

“Wow~ That’s unbelievable.”

One was that they were really noisy.

They were the same age, had been together since childhood, and had even awakened at the same time, so being so close, these talkative people ended up clustering together.

Even at Ilseong Guild, when they formed a party with that trio, it was said that their ears would ring all day long.

While clearly showing his annoyance, Gangjihun pondered what to say, then soon thought of Dohyun and unconsciously clicked his tongue.

Just thinking about it again, it was truly an absurd talent.

Thinking of Dohyun reminded him of how he had imitated his technique just by watching it once, so he spoke to the trio with an irritated voice.

“Tsk, you’ll know when you see it.”

“For senior to react like that?”

“It must be real then?”

“Ooh, this seems worth looking forward to.”

Just as Gangjihun knew the three well, the three also knew Gangjihun well, so they didn’t detain him any longer.

Clicking his tongue was proof that he was in a bad mood. If they bothered him more here, they might really get hurt.

Leaving Gangjihun behind, the three began chattering among themselves as if they found it interesting.

“This, this, we need to prepare much more than we thought, don’t we?”

“Exactly. If it becomes boring, the notorious first day of Hunter Training Center will become ordinary.”

“We have to give them an unforgettable nightmare.”

And the second drawback was exactly that.

Should I say all three had mischievous tendencies? Or should I say they were very playful?

In any case, they all had somewhat sadistic personalities.

That’s why all three went off with smiles to quickly prepare for the afternoon training.

To create truly unforgettable memories for the trainees who had entered this time.

* * *

Second day after awakening.

Dohyun had such thoughts while eating.

‘It’s more manageable than I thought?’

Was it because of Analysis, or was it objectively easy?

When he sneakily looked at his other team members, he could see them trembling even while eating.

And what they were saying was:

“Ugh, I’m dying.”

“Ugh, I know right.”

“Ah, my whole body is shaking.”

“…It’s not as easy as I thought.”

“…”

Seeing his team members’ reactions, Dohyun decided to keep his mouth shut.

It wasn’t objectively easy after all.

It was fortunate that he hadn’t opened his mouth to ask about it.

Well, compared to other team members, Dohyun’s growth was beyond words.

Wasn’t Dohyun the one who learned basic magic on his first day of awakening?

Moreover, with Analysis, his stats would increase automatically just by clicking, so it had to be easy for Dohyun. Still, deception felt a bit wrong, so he thought he should keep his mouth shut, when:

“Dohyun, how was it for you?”

“…Excuse me?”

Is this an assassination attempt?

At Yongchan Kim’s sudden question, Dohyun blinked and looked at him.

Until before the sparring training, he had been speaking formally, but after Dohyun said it was okay to speak casually, Yongchan Kim had dropped the formalities, and who would have thought he’d attempt an assassination like this?

Indeed, you can never know what’s inside a person’s heart!

While he was inwardly putting on a show, Jeongminwoo beside him scratched his cheek and said.

“Honestly, it was pretty easy for Dohyun hyung, wasn’t it?”

“From what I saw, Dohyun oppa was doing it so easily too.”

“Exactly. He’s really amazing. How do you do it so easily?”

“How did you do it? Did you train regularly or something?”

At his teammates’ questions, Dohyun wondered what he should say, then gave them a suitable answer.

“Well… I just did it and it worked out?”

Even to his own ears, it sounded obnoxious.

But his teammates, as if they were in the early stages of being in love, just nodded their heads in admiration at Dohyun’s words.

“Is it really talent?”

“I guess you have to be born with it.”

“If someone other than Dohyun oppa had said that, it would seem obnoxious, but when oppa says it, it’s so natural that I just accept it.”

Even at his blatantly talent-based statement, everyone nodded as if in agreement and praised him.

No, normally he thought the natural reaction would be “Oh, it’s not that much~”, “You’re good at joking~”, “There must be some secret~” and move on, but Dohyun was a bit bewildered by his teammates’ reactions. Then at Jeongminwoo’s final words, everyone agreed.

“Honestly, Dohyun hyung seems like someone who was born to become a Hunter.”

“I agree!”

“Really, if Dohyun oppa doesn’t become a Hunter, who will?”

“A person born for being a Hunter.”

“…Well, that’s not quite…”

Even when Dohyun directly denied it, it wasn’t accepted.

After the shower of praise continued for a while, Jeongminwoo suddenly spoke up.

“But is Jiyuchan hyung okay? He looks fine from what I can see.”

At those words, some of the teammates glanced at the Team 2 members eating at a table a bit away.

Although he had been defeated by Dohyun, Jiyuchan had received treatment from Choe Phil afterward and joined the training, but he didn’t look hurt in his pride or anything.

Rather, he looked more comfortable than before.

“Hm? Because he was defeated by Dohyun earlier?”

“No, he was the one who requested the sparring match first but got utterly crushed. If it were me, I’d be too embarrassed to show my face, so I was wondering if he’s okay. Anyway, Choe Phil instructor healed all his external injuries.”

Jeongminwoo’s words made sense, so Dohyun also glanced toward Jiyuchan.

As he said, he looked fine, but something had changed.

Dohyun habitually used Analysis, and then Jiyuchan’s status window appeared.

‘Wow, his stats increased that much in the meantime.’

Of course, the other trainees’ stats had also increased.

But even then, it was just stamina or agility going up by one, and no one had multiple stats including mana increase as much as Jiyuchan’s had.

Is an S-rank trait really different?

Dohyun inwardly admired it while also analyzing his own status window.

Then.

If Jiyuchan was impressive, what should Dohyun be called?

Recalling Gangjihun’s words “crazy monster bastard” once again, Dohyun quietly closed his status window.

‘Hmm, I should keep quiet about this.’

If there was a system and someone saw Dohyun’s stats, he didn’t know for sure, but it probably wouldn’t end with just being too envious.

Anyway, Dohyun looked toward Jiyuchan like that, and seeing that both his expression and stats had improved, he decided to stop worrying about it.

Then suddenly feeling something odd, he looked toward Jiyuchan again and thought.

Wait a minute.

Agility and stamina would naturally increase since he did physical training.

‘But why did his mana increase?’

They hadn’t learned mana cultivation methods yet, so how did his mana increase?

Dohyun looked at it with a puzzled expression, but since his own had increased too, he just let it pass.

If he had looked a little longer, Analysis would have told him, but since it wasn’t really important, he finished his meal and returned to the dormitory to rest before afternoon training.

Then suddenly.

A goal he had recalled came to mind.

‘Oh, right. I need to check Hwang Hana instructor’s status window too… Should I save up some AP?’

1000 AP was still far away.

* * *

The lunch eaten after sweating profusely during additional physical training during sparring education was indescribably delicious.

However, the Team 2 members’ expressions weren’t very good.

They hadn’t surpassed Team 1 in even one of the three morning education and training sessions.

Was this what it felt like to be overwhelmed by a sense of defeat?

While everyone was eating in silence, only Jiyuchan’s expression looked much better.

It wasn’t that he had lost his mind from being defeated by Dohyun.

‘…This is more comfortable than I thought.’

He had boldly challenged Dohyun and then was defeated helplessly. It could have been an utterly humiliating situation, but paradoxically, Jiyuchan felt more comfortable than ever.

Jiyuchan had always had to prove himself to others and show perfection, but after being crushed by Dohyun, who was like an endless wall, he even felt somewhat relieved.

Was that why?

‘I can feel something flowing inside my body.’

He had become able to sense some strange something that he couldn’t feel before being hit by Dohyun.

And he could also feel it naturally seeping into his body and gradually increasing bit by bit.

Jiyuchan couldn’t clearly know what it was, but with tremendous intuition, he vaguely sensed that it was mana.

However, they couldn’t know the fact that Dohyun’s Rush skill had struck him and opened his mana.

Of course, no matter how much one receives a direct hit from a skill, that is, mana, it doesn’t open one’s mana.

It could only be called Jiyuchan’s ridiculous talent.

Was that why?

With his mind at ease, Jiyuchan thought to himself.

‘Let’s train more and win.’

For now, he cleanly acknowledged that he was being pushed back.

But while he was continuing his meal, resolving to work harder so he could win in the future, Team 2 member Dongwook Park frowned with displeasure and spoke through gritted teeth.

“Damn it, fuck, what is this pathetic mess.”

“Excuse me?”

“O-oppa, why?”

“Why, why are you like that?”

“…?”

All the team members were flustered by Dongwook Park’s sudden outburst.

Even Jiyuchan looked at Dongwook Park as if finding it strange, and Dongwook Park continued speaking.

“No, fuck, the more I think about it, the more embarrassing it gets. Everyone, let’s do it properly next time. Yuchan too, okay? You get it, right?”

Jiyuchan frowned seeing Dongwook Park suddenly acting like this.

Of course, it wasn’t just Jiyuchan.

The other Team 2 members also had unpleasant expressions.

An unsettling atmosphere formed due to overly heated competitive spirit, but no one refuted it.

Except for Jiyuchan, everyone was thinking similarly to Dongwook Park.

Only Jiyuchan was sensing this bad flow.

Thus, when afternoon training approached, the three instructors standing before them spoke with playful smiles.

“Afternoon training is practical combat training!”

“Your mission is to kill all the goblins and pass through the Maze!”

“Naturally, whichever team exits first wins!”

With Team 2’s atmosphere like this, and now joint practical combat training of all things, Jiyuchan frowned at this worst-case scenario.
