Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Advice? (4)

Thoughts like “It’s a lie? Why would the instructors lie?” came to mind, but soon those distracting thoughts faded as they realized this might be part of the training process.

Now that they knew it was a lie, there were definitely parts that didn’t fit the context.

‘Well, no matter how unstable the Maze’s mana circuits became, it’s just a place that holds goblins at most, so there’s no way C-rank instructors couldn’t break through.’

Even if it were true that the Instructor Trio couldn’t break through, it didn’t make sense that they couldn’t enter when Hwang Hana was there.

It was a fact you could understand if you thought about it calmly, but since this was the team members’ first real combat after the tutorial, they couldn’t help but panic at the news of an emergency situation.

“The mana circuits are malfunctioning?”

“But since they’re telling us to escape, it can’t be that serious, right?”

“It would be a big problem if the instructors can’t help us when things get dangerous…”

“Phew, this might be a bit dangerous.”

Their fear had definitely grown compared to when they first entered. Since an alarm had sounded about an emergency situation, it was understandable that they’d be swept up in panic.

Dohyun was worried about this and was debating whether or not to tell them that the broadcast was fake, when Yongchan Kim made eye contact with him.

‘Dohyun is incredibly calm even in this emergency situation?’

And then not only Yongchan Kim, but also Guminah, Park Yesol, and Jeongminwoo could realize the same thing as they looked at Dohyun.

‘He’s not just calm…’

‘He’s looking at us and thinking about what to do?’

‘Dohyun hyung…’

Dohyun’s calm demeanor as he was clearly pondering something caused this misunderstanding.

Though it was a mistake, it was also because of Dohyun’s actions up to this point that it could only appear that way to them.

Thanks to this, even though their fear had grown, their will wasn’t greatly broken.

“Honestly, it’s a bit scary, but if we’re going to be hunters anyway, this is the kind of thing we’ll face someday, right?”

“That’s right, let’s do this?”

“What’s the worst that could happen besides dying?”

As everyone spoke while burning with determination, Dohyun scratched his head as he watched them.

With this kind of atmosphere, he figured there was no need to say anything.

He had no intention of interfering with their courage and burning will.

No normal person would want to stop someone who’s trying their best, right? Dohyun felt the same way.

However, unlike them, Dohyun had no hope of growing in this Maze, which was disappointing.

‘I want to raise my stats too.’

Then suddenly, a clever plan came to mind.

He remembered the stats he had gained by analyzing his teammates’ stat increases just moments ago.

Which meant.

‘If I push my teammates hard, I’ll grow too, right?’

What an amazing strategy had occurred to him!

Dohyun praised himself internally and spoke to his teammates with a slight smile.

“Then let’s do this. I’ll take the lead again and we’ll get out of this Maze as quickly as possible.”

“…If we do that, hyung will…”

When Jeongminwoo tried to express his concern, Yongchan Kim grabbed Jeongminwoo’s shoulder and stopped him.

Then he said.

“Dohyun has made up his mind too, so he wants to get us out as quickly as possible.”

“Ah! That’s what he meant!”

“Wow, that’s so like Dohyun oppa.”

“I’ll follow you with all my effort.”

As everyone spoke while steeling their resolve, Dohyun wondered how things had turned out this way.

No, he had simply wanted to raise his own stats by helping them grow. He felt a bit awkward since he was trying to fulfill his own selfish desires, but well, from his teammates’ perspective, this would be perceived as an urgent situation, so he figured those dramatic lines were to be expected.

He also let it slide because he’d be too embarrassed if he didn’t.

Anyway, Dohyun said he would take complete control and drew his sword in preparation to run.

Thus, all the members of Team 1 also prepared to follow Dohyun. Dohyun said.

“Let’s go.”

Thud thud thud thud!

As Dohyun said this and took a step forward, the Team 1 members hurriedly tried to chase after him in surprise.

He ran at such a fast speed that it reminded them of the morning run, and everyone was busy trying to catch up to Dohyun.

“You’re, you’re too fast!?”

“Do, Dohyun hyung?”

Dohyun ignored the voices behind him and suddenly increased his speed even more.

As he kicked off the ground much harder than before.

Bang!

A sound like a gunshot rang out, and Dohyun shot forward at about twice his previous speed while mana faintly gathered in his dagger.

Then, like an acrobat, he did a somersault in the air with both feet off the ground, looked down at the floor, and used his skills all at once.

The skills Dohyun was currently using were Dagger Arts, Sword King’s Intuition, and.

He thrust his dagger toward the weak point of the trap that was clearly visible on the floor through『Analysis』.

Clang!

Since his mana and skills were still weak, he couldn’t cut through the floor like slicing tofu even with mana imbued in his weapon, but he precisely struck the trap’s joint and disabled it.

Click.

As the sound of the trap being disabled rang out from his skill-like movement, just as his teammates who had arrived late were about to express their admiration.

Dohyun, who had disabled the trap, quickly hit the wall and ran sideways.

Thus, Dohyun quickly entered the bent fork in the path, while those who hadn’t even managed to chase after Dohyun’s tail shouted at him as they watched.

“…?”

“Huff, huff, w-wait for us…!”

“W-wait… please!”

“Whew! Let’s go quickly!”

Like the saying goes, the train moves on even when dogs bark, Dohyun never stopped to wait for them, so everyone quickly ran into the alley to chase after him. In the meantime, Dohyun rushed at the trap on the wall as if clinging to it, stabbing his dagger into the wall to neutralize the trap.

Then, while still airborne, he stepped on the wall again and added a skill he hadn’t used when neutralizing the trap earlier.

Using Analysis, Dagger Arts, King of Swords’ Intuition, and finally Ambush, he kicked off the wall at an even faster speed than before and shot forward.

As Dohyun shot toward the four goblins standing at the end of the alley, his sharp dagger glowed faintly with mana, leaving blue afterimages in the air.

The blue afterimage extending from the wall stretched forward in a straight line like a shooting arrow, reaching toward the neck of the goblin in the lead.

And then.

Swoooosh!

The blue light severed the goblin’s neck in one strike, and the dagger that followed gracefully drew a curve, forming a complete circle as blood spurted from the necks of all the goblins there.

Pshhhhhh—!

The alley was instantly painted with goblin blood, but Dohyun was already gone from that spot.

After stepping back briefly to avoid the spurting blood and then moving forward again, he suddenly looked back at his team members who weren’t following.

Then Dohyun looked at his teammates as if asking what they were doing and said.

“Aren’t you coming?”

Everyone who had stopped walking in surprise at Dohyun’s prowess suddenly looked flustered and made awkward excuses.

“You’re too fast.”

“Hard to keep up….”

When Guminah and Yesul Park said that, Dohyun tilted his head strangely and muttered.

“Huh? I wasn’t even going at half my speed? Shouldn’t this be easy enough to follow?”

“”….””

At those words, the other team members couldn’t say anything.

Certainly, comparing the speed when he was just running to the speed when he ambushed the goblins, they could clearly feel he had run at less than half his speed.

The team members couldn’t bring themselves to ask him to go even slower, so they naturally had to keep their mouths shut.

But Dohyun, completely unaware of their feelings, said something that would hurt their hearts.

“Then I’ll slow down a bit more. Follow me.”

Dohyun said that and ran again, and while he was certainly a bit slower than before, the team members ran while watching Dohyun’s back as he still moved at a fast pace.

And suddenly they could recall.

‘This….’

‘In the morning….’

‘We did something like this….’

‘Running again…?’

It felt more like physical training than combat, making them feel like their stamina and agility would improve, but no one here dared to raise objections to Dohyun.

They even felt like they were getting faster and building stamina, so they couldn’t complain further.

Watching this, Dohyun smiled happily and muttered to himself.

‘This is awesome.’

Who said you can’t grow in this maze!

Look how much we’re growing.

Team 1 was rapidly traversing the maze, unable to recall the thoughts he’d had just minutes before.

* * *

Meanwhile, while Dohyun was rapidly traversing the maze, the Guide Trio watching him were monitoring with quite impressed expressions.

They were watching as if they wouldn’t miss a single detail of Dohyun’s judgment, movements, and combat methods.

“Wow, there’s definitely a reason why senior Gangjihun praised him.”

“Senior Gangjihun didn’t praise him, he just told us to watch?”

“Oh come on Jeongyujin, that was praise. You should study Korean more. Can’t you read context?”

“Anyway, this kid Dohyun is no joke, right?”

“Yeah, his level could already work in the outer edges of F-rank areas?”

“He hasn’t even learned any formal training or technical education yet, but at this level, isn’t he just a monster?”

Everyone couldn’t help but admire Dohyun’s performance.

At first, he showed leadership by leading his team members and demonstrated strategy, but after the emergency broadcast, he’s been moving so actively, processing all the traps and goblins as he runs forward.

“I don’t think even junior Hwang Hana was this good….”

“…They said junior Hwang Hana struggled on the first day too. She started flying around from the second day.”

“Sigh. I can’t see the end of his potential.”

The three instructors were each expressing their admiration.

Honestly, they didn’t expect it to be this much, but since Hwang Hana and Choe Phil had spoken like that and Gangjihun had directly told them to watch, they had some expectations. But this far exceeded those expectations.

Even more so.

“I think he caught on to our lie too?”

“Yeah, he wasn’t tense or surprised from the beginning.”

“He was even considering whether to tell his team members or not?”

Although they only watched through monitors, they had experience, so naturally they could read this much.

Thinking about these things, they muttered among themselves.

“I think we should bring him to our guild.”

“It’ll be difficult with Chief Instructor Hwang Hana there?”

“Taebaek will definitely step forward too. No matter how much Taebaek Guild upholds fairness, this is a level where they’d have to ignore that and bring him in, right?”

He had to bring Dohyun to his guild somehow.

He couldn’t help but think that way.

He might be dismissed as F-rank for now, but this was only the first day at the Hunter Training Center. In other words, he was showing the combat power of a low-end F-rank, or perhaps even E-rank hunter in practical training without having received proper education yet, and if you couldn’t think of recruiting him, your eyes were rotten.

But since Hwang Hana was involved, everyone thought they shouldn’t rush and looked at the monitor on the opposite side as well.

Then.

“Ugh, that side is ruined.”

“It’s the same one-man show, but the atmosphere is so different.”

“I remember Team 2 having a good atmosphere too.”

“That Dongwook Park kid is the problem.”

“A loach does muddy the water.”

“But Jiyuchan is incredible too, isn’t he?”

Everyone nodded at Yunsangwoo’s last words.

While Dohyun’s handling of mana was surprising, Jiyuchan had similarly learned to handle mana and subtly infused it into his sword.

Though it was certainly a bit weaker compared to Dohyun’s, cutting off a goblin’s head in one strike showed similar prowess.

Though he was still lacking in speed and movement, if he was at this level.

“What is this, a field of geniuses? There are two newcomers who surpass junior Hana?”

“This really doesn’t make sense.”

“Huh? But that bastard Dongwook Park!?”

Everyone sighed at Yunsangwoo’s words.

The thing they had been worried about had finally happened.

“Huh?!”

“Ah, this team is ruined. Should I go?”

“No, I’ll go.”

When Jeongyujin said that, everyone agreed and was about to send Jeongyujin, but suddenly Shinjiyeon tilted her head as if puzzled.

“Huh? Dohyun is moving?”

At those words, everyone looked at Team 1’s monitor and could see Dohyun coming out of the exit with his other team members.

While the other team members were lying on the ground panting heavily, apparently out of breath, only Dohyun moved further.

“Huh? Where’s he going?”

“No way? Let’s see the direction.”

“Huh? He’s really going there?”

“Why is he going to Team 2?”

“That’s… right?”

No instructor could answer that question.

And the three of them could only watch the monitor as if mesmerized.

Because they didn’t know what Dohyun’s intention was.
