Chapter 109
109: Preparation Training (2)
When Dohyun and Jiyuchan arrived at Meeting Room 3, they found Hanalin waiting outside the door, apparently having been nearby.
Hanalin caught sight of Dohyun and Jiyuchan arriving together and greeted them warmly.
“You were in the Association Building?”
“Yeah, my friend just awakened, so I’ve been training them.”
“I’ve been training alongside them as well.”
“Ah, I see. I was just refining my basic magical training.”
It was amusing that all three of us happened to be training, but I had to admit the Association was impressive for knowing about it. Then again, there were records of all three of us entering the building, so it would’ve been strange if they didn’t know.
In any case, after exchanging light greetings, the three of us opened the meeting room door and stepped inside. There, waiting for us, was none other than Han Muyeol, the Association President.
Hanalin and Jiyuchan tensed slightly at his imposing stature and expression, while I greeted Han Muyeol as if nothing was amiss.
“You’re here, President?”
“Yeah, sit down.”
The matter seemed quite serious—Han Muyeol’s response to my greeting was cold, which caught me off guard. I immediately sat across from him.
Han Muyeol then instantly created a soundproof barrier with mana, ensuring no sound would leak out, before looking at the three of us.
What problem could he have called us for?
Hanalin and Jiyuchan watched with tense eyes, wondering if I’d somehow caused trouble.
While they watched, I hadn’t caused any major incident, but there was an odd distrust—*what if it’s Dohyun?*—that kept them on edge. Then Han Muyeol spoke.
“I heard you three have been promoted. When are you planning to enter?”
“I was thinking of going in sometime this week.”
“Yes, we’ve decided to rest for about a week before entering.”
“Yes.”
As Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan answered in turn, Han Muyeol nodded in understanding. Then he handed over a report to us.
As the party leader, I naturally took it and read through it. My expression hardened considerably.
When Hanalin and Jiyuchan saw my reaction and looked at the report themselves, their expressions grew equally grim.
The report detailed three C-rank parties currently missing in action—unable to return.
As we read with considerable shock that C-rank parties from not just South Korea but other countries were also missing in action, Han Muyeol spoke.
“Today, South Korean C-rank parties and others have returned.”
“Oh? Then….”
“But most returned having lost party members. And the parties that hadn’t returned earlier—we’ve received word they were completely annihilated.”
“….” “….” “….”
At those words, all three of us—myself, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan—fell silent.
Three entire C-rank parties had been wiped out, and on top of that, the other C-rank parties that had returned had also lost members. From what I’d heard so far, I could predict what was happening.
“A considerably powerful Villain Party has been causing trouble in the Safe Zone where Earth Hunters have established themselves. Because of this, we’ve decided to restrict C-rank parties from entering the Black Gate for the time being.”
“…Tch.”
At Han Muyeol’s words, I inhaled sharply and scratched my head, clearly annoyed and frustrated by this inconvenience.
Han Muyeol’s eyes gleamed at my reaction.
He hadn’t misjudged after all. Han Muyeol then asked me directly.
“Dohyun, what’s your assessment?”
“Hmm. Well then, if we monitor the situation in the Safe Zone and wait for the other parties to return, we can head in immediately after, right?”
“No. Information isn’t being shared due to the characteristics of the C-rank Zone, so the other parties shouldn’t know about the attack. That’s why they were caught off guard.”
“I see.”
At Han Muyeol’s words, I finally recalled the distinctive features of the C-rank Zone.
Thinking about it, if those characteristics prevented information sharing, it made sense that the Villains could operate so brazenly.
I pondered for a moment before speaking.
“If we have the information, I believe we’re ready to enter.”
At my words, Han Muyeol looked not at me but at my other party members—Hanalin and Jiyuchan. In situations like this, it was common for party members to voice disagreement with the leader’s decision. However, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan showed acceptance rather than refusal.
Hanalin was nodding in agreement, while Jiyuchan wore an expression that said it would be tough but doable. Seeing that entering seemed already decided, Han Muyeol let out a dry chuckle despite his reservations.
“Heh.”
At that admiring laugh, I tilted my head in confusion. Wondering what he meant, I looked at Han Muyeol.
Han Muyeol instead asked me a question.
“The Villains are strong, but you’re fine as long as you have information?”
“Of course. Those Villain bastards charge in without information—so if we have it, what exactly are we lacking? If Hunters can’t enter because they’re afraid of Villains, they won’t last long in this profession. We’ve only just entered C-rank, so we should train more before going in, but that’s the plan.”
“Hmm.”
At my words, Han Muyeol found himself nodding unconsciously.
What I said was certainly true. If Hunters feared Villains, they wouldn’t survive long in this world.
Just as the saying goes—you can’t make kimchi if you’re afraid of maggots—if Hunters feared Villains, they simply wouldn’t last in this profession. Han Muyeol had no choice but to nod.
While I appeared bold and spirited, which was admirable, Han Muyeol stroked his white, rough stubble as he observed me, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan.
And in Han Muyeol’s eyes, the three of us appeared as:
‘Monsters.’
They had perfectly mastered the subtle techniques of concealment that should have been learned starting from D-rank, and they possessed all the individual skills and magical techniques necessary for C-rank. I was astounded.
Could a party merely waiting to enter a C-rank Zone possibly display such prowess? Han Muyeol was at a loss for words.
I had always known Dohyun was a monster, but I had thought Hanalin and Jiyuchan were geniuses on the same level as Hwang Hana. Yet standing beside the monster Dohyun, were they gradually becoming monsters themselves? No—they already deserved to be called monsters.
Originally, Han Muyeol had intended to teach them these subtle techniques himself, but it seemed unnecessary now. They were already mastering them on their own.
With talent of this caliber, Han Muyeol had no choice but to give his consent.
“Very well. I’ll permit you to enter. However, your physical abilities and magical power need to be higher than they currently are.”
“Understood.”
At Han Muyeol’s words, I could only agree.
If even ordinary C-rank parties had fallen to the Villains, they must possess power equivalent to at least mid-tier C-rank. It was crucial to maximize our stats before entering.
Otherwise, we’d be putting ourselves in unnecessary danger.
However, Earth didn’t have the abundant mana that the Black Gate possessed, making stat-training exercises extremely inefficient. I found myself troubled.
Of course, I had Analysis to help me raise my stats somehow, but Hanalin and Jiyuchan were the problem.
Hadn’t Analysis informed me that once stats exceeded 60, they became as immovable as stone? That’s why I was concerned.
The more we needed to train in mana-rich environments, the less we could afford to drop back to D-rank. We’d already been promoted.
Just as I was wrestling with this dilemma:
“I’ll open the Special Training Room for you.”
“The Special Training Room?” “There’s something like that?” “Oh?”
As all three of us asked simultaneously, Han Muyeol silently nodded and rose from his seat.
As the Dohyun Party looked up at him, Han Muyeol spoke.
“I’ll show you the way.”
* * *
Han Muyeol led the way through a maze-like corridor, guiding the Dohyun Party to a training room not far from the Association President’s Office. We couldn’t help but widen our eyes in astonishment.
I’d thought it was merely a training room, but the mana concentration inside was strikingly different from outside.
As I sensed it and quickly analyzed the density, I realized it was higher than a D-rank Zone.
‘I haven’t entered a C-rank Zone to compare, but it’s definitely higher than D-rank at minimum….’
This meant that since the Dohyun Party’s original training ground was a D-rank Zone, we could achieve proportionally better efficiency here.
Han Muyeol explained as much.
“It’s a training room set with mana concentration superior to D-rank. Though the density is lower than C-rank, training here will yield better efficiency than a standard training room.”
“Wow….”
“How did you create this??”
“….”
When Hanalin asked that question, Han Muyeol chuckled and answered.
“Points.”
If it was Points—that universal substance—then it certainly made sense that he could construct it.
After all, by paying Points at the Stone Tablet, one could obtain any desired item. If he’d built it that way, it was understandable.
I smiled as I looked around the training room, but I felt a twinge of disappointment at Han Muyeol’s next words.
“However, you can only use it this once. Originally, this training room is for A-Grade Parties, but this time I’ll restrict access to others so only you can use it. Since maintaining it costs considerable Points, other A-Grade Parties pay 100,000 Points per day to use it.”
Though I thought it was a bit stingy, hearing that the rental fee was a whopping 100,000 Points per day made me immediately give up on the idea.
Of course, I currently had enough Points for a day’s rental, but it seemed too wasteful to even consider.
“Tsk, it’s unfortunate, but there’s no helping it.”
“Right. Still, we should be grateful for the opportunity.”
“Later, once we have the means, we can just rent it ourselves.”
Hanalin comforted me, while Jiyuchan suggested we plan for the future.
I nodded in acknowledgment and began warming up lightly.
Seeing that I was about to begin training, Han Muyeol chuckled and stepped aside. Watching another party’s training would be nothing but a nuisance.
Once Han Muyeol left, the Dohyun Party warmed up before beginning serious training. Suddenly, I tilted my head as if I’d forgotten something.
“Hmm, I feel like I’m forgetting something… but let’s start training first.”
With that, I focused on training. Not long after, my phone in the storage room began ringing.
[Choe Yunsuk Blockhead: When are you done???]
[Choe Yunsuk Blockhead: ???]
[Choe Yunsuk Blockhead: You said you’d contact me?]
[Choe Yunsuk Blockhead: Dohyun???]
That’s how Choe Yunsuk was forgotten.
