Episode 18

Chapter 18: Genius Hanalin (2)

Mornings at the Hunter Training Center always started early.

Today, which was a day for skills and magic education, was no different.

Even though they were having education, they couldn’t skip physical training, so today as well, the trainees started their day with physical conditioning at the training ground from dawn.

The physical training that started from dawn was bound to be grueling, but since it was only the second day, they showed signs of adapting to some degree.

The bodies of Hunters were truly remarkable. Influenced by mana, they could adapt faster than ordinary people and their physical abilities could also become stronger more quickly.

Of course, that didn’t mean it wasn’t arduous.

“Huff, huff, gasp.”

“Ugh, huff huff.”

“Uhhh.”

“Gasp, ugh…”

While most of Team 2 was training their stamina as if they were dying.

“Whew.”

“Huff, huff. I can do this.”

“Graaah!”

“Let’s go—!”

Whether what Dohyun had them do in practical training yesterday helped, Team 1 had a bit more leeway. That didn’t mean it wasn’t difficult, but it was to the extent that they didn’t feel like they were going to die?

Among them, there were also those who were particularly good at it.

Dohyun from Team 1 and Jiyuchan from Team 2.

Those two were in much better condition than the others, but naturally, Dohyun was far ahead of Jiyuchan.

“…Whew.”

Watching that, Jiyuchan had an expression wondering if he still wasn’t good enough, but his burning enthusiasm remained the same.

Eyes that seemed full of determination to accomplish it soon even if he couldn’t do it now.

Choe Phil nodded as he watched such Jiyuchan.

‘He’s steadily growing.’

Choe Phil looked at Jiyuchan with considerable satisfaction at the enthusiasm born from a desire for improvement, not the enthusiasm from low-quality inferiority complex he had seen at first.

At this pace, he would be more than capable of breaking Hwang Hana’s record.

However.

‘That trainee Dohyun is completely incomprehensible.’

Hwang Hana’s record, and Hanalin’s record, were things that could be positioned in the top tier even going beyond Korea to the world.

However, seeing Dohyun’s appearance of trying to far surpass such records, Choe Phil couldn’t help but feel mystified. Just what kind of body was it – he seemed at least twice as excellent as yesterday.

No matter how quickly a Hunter’s body becomes stronger, Dohyun far exceeded the level that could be understood. And even that was still getting stronger now.

Dohyun would be the person who best fit the saying of getting stronger by the day.

While Choe Phil was thinking that, the instructor’s radio briefly rang.

And the sound that came through.

-Crackle— Emergency notice, a mage dispatched from the Mage Association will arrive soon.

“…?”

How could this be an emergency notice?

Just as Choe Phil was about to pick up the radio to reply as if he couldn’t understand, additional sound came from the radio.

-Crackle— Mage Hanalin has been dispatched.

“Ah!?”

Now that changes the story.

Hanalin has been dispatched?

She had only awakened 3 months ago, and it had only been 2 months since she graduated from the Hunter Training Center, but the genius mage who could be called South Korea’s treasure was being dispatched to the Hunter Training Center?

‘What on earth is the Mage Association thinking… Ah.’

Choe Phil, who was about to blame the Mage Association, soon recalled 2 months ago and nodded.

Since Choe Phil had been working as an instructor here back then too, he knew Hanalin’s personality well. So he belatedly realized why they had radioed him.

And.

‘She said she would come herself.’

That would be just like Hanalin.

And the reason she wanted to come would be simple. Probably because of Hwang Hana, wouldn’t it?

‘Her competitive spirit was that strong even when she was at the training center.’

But to think she would come out as a dispatched magic instructor just 2 months after graduating. This was really troublesome.

When Choe Phil looked at his watch in a fluster due to the trouble, it was almost 8 o’clock, so he looked at the trainees and urgently shouted.

“Today’s training ends here! Everyone! Good work! Get washed up and prepare so you can eat breakfast!”

When Choe Phil shouted that and disappeared in a hurry, most of the trainees were excited wondering what stroke of luck this was and immediately lay down on the spot.

While the trainees, soaked in sweat to the point of making splashing sounds, were resting while looking up at the sky, Jiyuchan was sitting nearby resting appropriately, and Dohyun was standing quietly watching Choe Phil hurrying away.

“…?”

Thinking something seemed strange, he saw that the hurrying was too frantic, making him wonder if something had happened.

Was it because of the skills and magic education?

Well, since they said a mage was being dispatched, it could be chaotic because of that.

‘Magic is good too, but first I want to learn Instructor Hwang Hana’s Shadow King’s Swift Strike and Fatal Blow…’

He now knew that magic was difficult, but even so, weren’t they just low-level basic magic spells? Compared to that, Shadow King’s Swift Strike and Fatal Blow seemed to be unique techniques belonging only to Shadow King Hwang Hana.

Since they were incomparable to basic magic, Dohyun’s interest was entirely focused on Shadow King’s Swift Strike and Fatal Blow.

Unless the mage dispatched as a magic instructor was S-rank like Hwang Hana or Jiyuchan.

But how could that be possible.

‘There’s no way three S-rank individuals would gather at one training facility.’

After having such idle thoughts for a moment, Dohyun wondered if Hwang Hana would even show her unique techniques during the skill demonstration, but still, you never know, right?

With such anticipation filling his heart, he returned to the dormitory, washed his sweat-soaked body, and went to have breakfast.

Just as he was leaving the dormitory building to head to the dining hall, looking forward to the upcoming skill and magic education, he encountered Choe Phil.

“Instructor Choe Phil?”

And he came face to face with a cold-looking beauty who was with Choe Phil.

* * *

8 AM.

At a time that could still be considered early, when ordinary people would be commuting to work or just leaving home to board the subway for work, a cold-looking beauty gracefully stepped out of a black luxury sedan and gazed at the building in front of her, recalling memories as she subtly lifted the corners of her mouth.

Though she was clearly smiling, her cold impression didn’t fade and instead felt even more sharply honed, creating an atmosphere that made it difficult to approach her readily.

Hanalin gazed at the Hunter Training Center building and muttered to herself.

“I never thought I’d be back after two months.”

If it weren’t for Hwang Hana, she wouldn’t have come at all, yet here she was—it was somewhat amusing.

She had come without hesitation, even taking on troublesome tasks, to see the hunter who was the previous record holder and had reached the B-rank zone in the shortest time.

Competitive spirit—that was the only reason.

At the training facility, no one could even follow in Hanalin’s footsteps.

For her, who desired competition, Hwang Hana represented a new stimulus. This was even more so because it was a talent that was hard to find a match for in South Korea.

As Hanalin finished her trivial reminiscence, she noticed an instructor with a distinctively rugged appearance who had approached her, and she smiled slightly.

“It’s been a while, Instructor Choe Phil.”

“Phew, you’re still the same.”

“Of course. People don’t change easily.”

At her leisurely voice, Choe Phil shook his head, saying that was indeed Hanalin.

Then Choe Phil spoke to Hanalin.

“I’ll guide you to the Instructor Building. You can at least carry your own luggage, right?”

“Of course. I wasn’t expecting special treatment.”

As Hanalin said this, the trunk opened by itself and Hanalin’s suitcases floated up into the air one by one. Telekinetic magic that converts mana into physical force to manipulate objects. Naturally, it was a non-attribute magic that boasted a higher difficulty than basic magic.

Choe Phil shook his head as if fed up watching this.

‘…Still that monster-like mana control.’

Though he was a hunter, since he was a healer who could be said to exist between mages and hunters, Choe Phil could feel it more vividly than anyone.

The telekinetic magic Hanalin was using now wasn’t simply converting to physical force and ending there, but delicately manipulating the colorless, formless energy created from physical force to levitate objects.

If she controlled her strength even slightly wrong.

‘Those suitcases would explode.’

Yet with such telekinetic magic, the fact that she could do it with will alone without any incantation or gesture showed just how much of an extraordinary genius Hanalin was.

But why was it?

Choe Phil couldn’t help but smile slightly as he looked at Hanalin.

It was impressive.

But that was all. It wasn’t something that made him give up on understanding, so as Choe Phil smiled slightly and tried to guide Hanalin, Hanalin, who knew Choe Phil’s expressions well, tilted her head.

“Hmm, it seems there’s something interesting going on?”

“You could say that. Well, it might not be related to you.”

Though Hwang Hana had said that Dohyun might be able to learn magic, Choe Phil thought that might be pushing it too far, so he judged it might not be greatly related to Hanalin.

That was the natural way to think.

Just as Choe Phil was thinking this and about to head to the Instructor Building, someone called out to stop him.

“Instructor Choe Phil?”

At that voice, Choe Phil’s expression twisted strangely at the corners as if finding it amusing, and Hanalin, puzzled by Instructor Choe Phil’s appearance, likewise turned her head. There stood a rather handsome-looking man.

Wearing training clothes that indicated he was a trainee, it was clear he had encountered them while heading to breakfast.

Hanalin had also been a trainee until recently.

But even though she had just made eye contact with a mere trainee, she felt a strange sensation.

The illusion that the entire world was being sucked in around that male trainee’s eyes. No, it wasn’t being sucked in. Just as Earth orbits around the sun, she felt as if the entire world was revolving around that man, and Hanalin trembled as if struck by lightning.

‘…What is this…’

The moment something emanating from the trainee was about to reach Hanalin, she widened her eyes and quickly used magic.

Due to the too-rapid transition, the suitcases that had been floating in the air with telekinesis rolled on the ground as mana swirled violently.

Thud, thoom.

Whoooosh——

As she converted the wildly swirling mana into physical force, Choe Phil beside her was startled and tried to stop her, but it wasn’t an attack.

As she simultaneously erected both a mana barrier and a solid physical barrier made from mana converted to physical force, Choe Phil looked at Hanalin as if he couldn’t understand. Hanalin also looked at the trainee as if she couldn’t understand.

She had definitely felt something flying toward her, but neither the mana barrier nor the physical barrier worked at all.

It just passed right through and reached her, but nothing happened, so Hanalin looked at the trainee again with a blank, bewildered expression. The trainee looked at Hanalin and widened his eyes in surprise.

“S-rank?”

“…?”

The trainee muttering incomprehensible words.

As the two looked at each other, Choe Phil watched both Hanalin and the trainee and spoke.

“Phew, let me introduce you. This is Hanalin, a mage from the Mage Association dispatched this time. And this is trainee Dohyun who enrolled recently.”

At Choe Phil’s words, Hanalin looked at Dohyun with wariness, while Dohyun, on the other hand.

‘This is incredible.’

I was looking at Hanalin’s status window.
