Episode 16

Chapter 16: Hwang Hana’s Status Window (2)

‘In… sane.’

This is a Hunter who entered the B-rank zone?

Dohyun gulped at the incredible stats that were beyond description.

He had finally succeeded in viewing Hwang Hana’s status window.

Thanks to the assassination and spy-type traits similar to Gangjihun’s, the proficiency of many skills was able to increase.

Meanwhile, as Dohyun was looking at Hwang Hana like that, she felt the same sensation as when she first saw Dohyun and looked at him with a strange expression.

This time was exactly the same as then. Those eyes that seemed to see through everything.

What could he be looking at about her?

“Is there something on me?”

“Huh? Oh, no. I’m sorry.”

He had made a mistake. It seemed he had stared too intently.

When Dohyun realized this and apologized, Hwang Hana moved away from her seat with an uncomfortable feeling.

“Well then, see you again next time.”

“Yes, please go in.”

After parting with Hwang Hana like that, Dohyun was excited, thinking what a stroke of luck this was.

Although not a single skill had been upgraded and he had only gained proficiency, it was still a considerable benefit.

Moreover.

‘What a stroke of luck this is.’

Unfortunately, since he couldn’t obtain the skills, he couldn’t know how much AP they would cost, but now that he had viewed the status window, he would be able to obtain skills if he just collected enough AP.

Especially.

‘I really want to get that Shadow King’s Swiftness and Fatal Strike.’

While he was indifferent about the other skills, those two seemed like skills that only the Fatal Shadow King would have, making them more appealing.

Shadow King’s Swiftness felt like it might be a skill similar to Sword King’s Intuition.

‘It’s probably a main skill, right?’

The main skill that each S-rank trait possesses.

With only two examples to compare, he couldn’t be certain, but it seemed likely.

He might be able to obtain it if she showed it to him later, but would that really happen?

Dohyun clicked his tongue in disappointment and looked around, but nothing particularly noteworthy happened after that.

He waited until dinner time out of disappointment, and during dinner, he was able to hear unexpected news.

* * *

The first day at Seoul Hunter Training Center would be hectic for the trainees, but it was the same for the instructors.

While the first day ended after dinner, the time before that was the busiest, so the instructors had to finish their respective work and gather for a meeting.

When all seven instructors gathered – Chief Instructor Hwang Hana, Physical Training and Infirmary supervisor Choe Phil, Information Education supervisor Kim Arum, Sparring Education supervisor Gangjihun, and finally Practical Training supervisors Shinjiyeon, Jeongyujin, and Yunsangwoo – the meeting began.

The meeting naturally wasn’t a place to discuss achievements or growth.

Since it was the first day, achievements or growth could be considered meaningless.

But this batch was a little different.

“Trainee Dohyun’s growth rate is extraordinary.”

At Choe Phil’s words, everyone except Kim Arum, who was in charge of information education, nodded in agreement.

They had no choice but to agree.

According to what Choe Phil, who had been conducting physical training since dawn, observed, Dohyun’s movements during the final practical training had grown to an inexplicable degree.

Gangjihun, who had seen him during sparring, felt the same way.

There’s a common saying about babies growing different each day, but Dohyun’s growth rate appeared steep even before a full day had passed, making it an indescribable level.

Then Gangjihun stepped forward and spoke.

“To be honest, Trainee Dohyun’s growth rate is at an inexplicable level.”

Shinjiyeon, Jeongyujin, and Yunsangwoo also agreed with Gangjihun’s words.

“Really. Apart from Trainee Dohyun, Trainee Jiyuchan is also at an unreasonable level.”

“Jiyuchan also has unprecedented growth rate, but Trainee Dohyun far exceeds even that.”

“It’s an impossible figure.”

At those words, Hwang Hana also had no choice but to nod.

The videos and data she had seen so far were indescribable. She was even starting to think he might be a villain who had hidden his power and entered the facility.

However, since mana measurement couldn’t be concealed no matter what one did, naturally none of the instructors seriously thought that.

“And during my training time, he even showed the ability to watch my technique once and copy it.”

“…Hmm.”

“That’s really unbelievable.”

“He watched a technique once and copied it?”

“It’s not a believable story, but given what he’s done so far, we have no choice but to believe it.”

It was inevitable that the Hunter instructors would show such difficulty.

The techniques they had learned weren’t things that could be obtained for free. Most of them weren’t given textbooks.

Naturally, these were precious techniques learned from textbooks obtained with points earned by defeating monsters in the Black Gate themselves, so it felt strange to see someone acquire them just by watching once.

Anyone would feel that way if someone used for free what they had purchased expensively.

Since there were even cases where techniques were developed into one’s own unique skills that others didn’t possess, recording others’ techniques was also tacitly forbidden among Hunters.

Breaking this rule could easily lead to combat within the Black Gate.

But there was one problem.

“So what should we do tomorrow?”

While the active Hunter instructors were expressing sighs beyond admiration, Kim Arum asked that question. What would they do tomorrow?

Everyone pondered for a moment at those words.

What could be happening tomorrow that’s making them act like that?

If a trainee had heard this meeting, they might have had such questions, but soon Hwang Hana spoke up.

“Tomorrow we’ll proceed with the scheduled skill demonstrations and skill & magic education as planned.”

Skill demonstrations and skill & magic education.

This could be called the flower of the Hunter Training Center.

It was one of the training sessions where they would find each hunter’s specialty, classify whether they should learn skills or magic, and the instructors would show their own techniques while educating the trainees.

However, with the appearance of an irregular who could learn techniques just by seeing them once, the instructors were worried that all their secrets might be exposed, but the situation couldn’t be helped.

Above all.

“We have an arrangement with the Mage Association, so we can’t postpone it.”

Because tomorrow’s magic education meant a mage would be dispatched from the Mage Association.

At the mention of the Mage Association, the instructors’ expressions became somewhat unpleasant.

“A mage.”

“Even though it can’t be helped…”

“It is a bit uncomfortable.”

In current society, hunters and mages were viewed as the same, but the reality was a bit different.

While they both awakened mana, entered Black Gates to hunt monsters, and competed with other races, their essence was somewhat different, you could say?

Regular hunters and mages differed from the very way they handled mana.

That’s why mages always wanted to be called mages, claiming they were different from hunters, and even created a separate Mage Association apart from the Hunter Association.

Since their numbers were smaller compared to hunters, the scale itself was inferior to the Hunter Association, but it wasn’t just an association created by nobodies.

Rooted in America and recognized even by the US government, it was a legitimate international association that no one could carelessly ignore.

“Sigh, still, they cooperate well with us, and those with talent in magic can’t learn skills, so symbiosis is unavoidable.”

“Even though it’s uncomfortable, it can’t be helped.”

At first glance, it seemed like an organization operating based on supremacist ideology, but that wasn’t entirely true. They readily accepted cooperation requests from the Hunter Association, and when it came to education-related matters like this, they always stepped forward to help.

Still, the reason the instructors looked displeased was.

“Sigh, mages are all so arrogant and annoying, I hate it…”

“But it can’t be helped.”

“…That’s true.”

Because mages were fundamentally arrogant and spoke in an annoying manner.

Since they were overwhelmingly superior to regular hunters in mana control, they tended to act arrogantly.

For instance, they would condescendingly try to teach things saying “this level of control is very easy,” or openly tell people not to try too hard since it required natural talent, so they weren’t particularly well-liked.

As a brief commotion arose over the mage topic, Hwang Hana looked at the instructors and organized the situation.

In any case, the mage’s arrival was unchanged, so if they didn’t prepare in advance, uncomfortable situations could arise.

And what was most concerning right now was Dohyun.

“If he really saw and copied it once as Instructor Gangjihun said, we should also consider a demonstration when the mage arrives.”

“Magic?”

“Do we really need to worry about that?”

Except for Hwang Hana, who already knew that Dohyun had learned magic, all the instructors were looking at her with puzzled expressions.

While those who could learn skills weren’t absolutely unable to learn magic, the efficiency was extremely poor. There were cases where they couldn’t learn even one magic spell in the time it took to learn five other skills.

Of course, there had been people with talent in both skills and magic.

Those who could use skills quite well and also use magic, commonly having talents similar to magic swordsmen. However, unfortunately, in such cases, their talent in both areas was often mediocre.

So they thought this wouldn’t apply to Dohyun, who showed monstrous ability to copy skills just by seeing them once.

‘Trainee Dohyun has already learned magic too. And he did it alone just by reading books on his first day.’

But Hwang Hana knew well that Dohyun had already shown genius in both areas, so she stepped forward quite confidently.

However, there was a reason she didn’t say it outright.

‘Even if I told them, they obviously wouldn’t believe it.’

Even Hwang Hana, who had seen it directly, was still suspicious, so there was no way they would believe it if she told them.

That’s why Hwang Hana could only speak in this way of preparing for possibilities.

Moreover, the instructors had already thought of an interesting idea.

“Even if Trainee Dohyun can’t copy the magic, we usually do skill demonstrations but not magic demonstrations, so let’s use this opportunity to have a magic demonstration.”

“Hmm, and we’ll see if Trainee Dohyun can copy that.”

“Having the mage do a magic demonstration would be good even if Trainee Dohyun can’t do it.”

“Yes, exactly.”

Everyone nodded, accepting Hwang Hana’s opinion as having no downsides.

Usually, while instructors directly demonstrated skills, mages only taught magic without necessarily demonstrating it, which was somewhat annoying to the instructors.

Since things had come to this, several instructors accepted it with the thought of having equal demonstrations.

As they moved on to the next agenda and the meeting was ending, Kim Arum said she would inform the trainees who were having dinner about tomorrow’s schedule.

“Then I’ll announce the schedule.”

“Please do.”

“…It was bothersome, so thanks.”

“Arum is the best!”

“Thank you!”

All the instructors said so, and Kim Arum went to the trainees’ dining hall to give the announcement.

Since it wasn’t a very long announcement, it could be finished quickly.

“I’ll inform you about tomorrow’s schedule. Unlike today, tomorrow we’ll spend most of our time learning skills and magic. Since today was quite tough with the intention of experiencing tests and actual combat, tomorrow we’ll have time to learn by watching the instructors demonstrate skills and magic from a mage dispatched by the Magic Association.”

And at that moment, Kim Arum saw Dohyun’s eyes light up and tilted her head in puzzlement.

She hadn’t thought of him as having such high academic enthusiasm, but seeing him look happier than expected was puzzling, though she just passed it off as a good attitude toward working hard.

‘He’s not excited thinking he’ll master all the skills just by watching them, is he?’

She had that thought just in case, but passed it off with a laugh, thinking “no way.”

Anyway, no matter how amazing Dohyun was, he probably couldn’t learn magic as easily as skills, Kim Arum thought as she tried to return to the instructor building.

Then suddenly.

‘A trainee like Dohyun who seems to be a genius with technology can use magic too?’

Having such thoughts to herself, Kim Arum chuckled and shook her head.

While there were rare individuals who could use both technology and magic simultaneously, if Dohyun could use magic on top of everything else, wouldn’t that be too ridiculous?

Kim Arum chuckled as she thought this.

‘No way, that’s impossible.’
