Chapter 23
Chapter 23: Instructors Who Give Generously (2)
Gangjihun and Hanalin had spoken of the emptiness they felt when Dohyun replicated their techniques and magic in a single attempt, but Hwang Hana honestly couldn’t quite understand it.
While mimicking something in one go was certainly remarkable, she’d thought there was no reason to feel hollow about having it taken from her—yet now that she experienced it firsthand, an indescribable sensation washed over her.
As she infused black mana and watched the concealed dagger unfold in Dohyun’s hand before embedding itself in the obstacle, the lethal effect of shattering it to dust was applied flawlessly.
Witnessing this, Hwang Hana’s mind flashed back to the blood and sweat she’d shed mastering that lethal technique after obtaining the manual, and seeing Dohyun learn and delight in it while completely disregarding all that effort left her speechless.
“Wow, this is no joke.”
Of course not. It had taken Hwang Hana a full month to master this technique.
The power was undeniable, and since the lethal strike was her primary technique, it was certainly no laughing matter.
But why did it feel this way?
“….”
Watching Dohyun master and execute it in a single go, Hwang Hana squeezed her eyes shut. The sensation of having it stolen from her felt strangely bitter, so she took a slow breath to calm herself and returned to the lesson.
She decided to let Dohyun be and focus on teaching weapon arts to both of them equally. But when she saw Jiyuchan channel mana into his blade and execute the weapon arts just as Dohyun had, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of frustration.
‘I haven’t even taught them the technique yet, and they’re both already using it.’
Overshadowed by Dohyun’s brilliance, she now recognized anew that Jiyuchan was an equally prodigious talent.
Seeing Jiyuchan’s potential exceed even her own, Hwang Hana began teaching him step by step.
“You’ve grasped the weapon arts themselves, but you haven’t mastered mana control—the overall handling of mana—so your movements are restricted. Watch carefully and follow along… No, I’ll teach you directly.”
She’d been about to tell him to watch and imitate, but caught herself remembering that Jiyuchan wasn’t Dohyun. Instead, she flowed her own mana through his body, guiding his mana circulation and helping him master mana control.
Naturally, Jiyuchan, being a prodigy in his own right, grasped it quickly.
Watching this absurd pair of geniuses, Hwang Hana felt inexplicably frustrated, but she squeezed her eyes shut and continued teaching them various techniques.
Dohyun, of course, had already mastered everything, so there was nothing left for him to learn, and Jiyuchan absorbed each instruction like a sponge, leaving her with nothing to say.
Hwang Hana, who had never experienced feeling inferior in talent, found herself making an exasperated expression as she muttered dismissively at this genius duo.
“Already mastering the fundamentals….”
Once Dohyun and Jiyuchan had grasped all the fundamental techniques, Hwang Hana had them practice on their own as if assigning self-study, and they went through the process of becoming familiar with their techniques.
Dohyun in particular was wielding both techniques and magic simultaneously, and watching him, Hwang Hana shook her head with a dumbfounded expression.
With nothing left to teach at the fundamental level, she glanced at the other instructors, who seemed to be bickering among themselves while teaching.
Then Hwang Hana found herself intently observing Choe Phil, who was demonstrating a technique, and she tilted her head before realizing that Dohyun had already acquired the boxing technique Choe Phil was showcasing.
“….”
Now he was even attempting to master techniques from instructors standing far away—it was absurd, yet she simply let him be.
After all, she’d intended to push Dohyun hard anyway, so leaving him alone was the right call.
But why did it feel this way?
“Sigh….”
Her chest felt increasingly tight, so Hwang Hana turned to Jiyuchan and taught him more efficient training methods while encouraging him.
“You can do it too.”
“…?”
Jiyuchan looked a bit bewildered by her sudden encouragement but nodded in understanding. Meanwhile, watching Choe Phil in the distance demonstrating techniques while instructing other trainees, Dohyun smiled contentedly.
And for good reason.
[You have analyzed Choe Phil’s skills: Boxing Technique [C], Vitality [D], and Haste [E].]
[These are skills above the standard threshold.]
[You have acquired a total of 350 AP.]
[You have successfully analyzed the skill of an opponent beyond your current tier.]
[You acquire an additional 350 AP.]
[Will you acquire the skill “Haste [E]” for 100 AP?]
[Will you acquire the skill “Vitality [D]” for 150 AP?]
[Will you acquire the skill “Pugilism [C]” for 300 AP?]
[You have acquired the skills “Pugilism [C]”, “Vitality [D]”, and “Haste [E]”.]
[These skills exceed your current ability stats.]
[You cannot activate these skills at their full power.]
[Due to the acquired skills, your Strength permanently increases by +4.]
[Due to the acquired skills, your Stamina permanently increases by +3.]
[Due to the acquired skills, your Mana permanently increases by +2.]
‘They really are giving generously without reservation.’
Dohyun found himself grinning with satisfaction.
Of course, the instructors had intended to teach him, but Dohyun had already acquired everything before they could even offer it.

After the technical instruction and demonstration session concluded, lunch arrived, and everyone had no choice but to eat and then retire to their respective rooms to rest.
Physical training had been grueling, but technical instruction was several times more exhausting, so it was unavoidable.
While everyone retreated to the Dormitory to rest, Dohyun returned to his quarters, took a quick shower, and then opened his status window for a mid-session check.

‘Wow.’
The list of skills had grown so long that I was almost afraid to press the “show more” button.
I had essentially acquired every skill available at the Training Facility. Once I mastered the basic general magic, there truly would be nothing left for me to gain here, so I found myself lost in thought.
It seemed the only thing remaining was to enter the Black Gate and engage in actual combat, and I couldn’t help but feel a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
If I was going to live as a Hunter, entering the Black Gate was an absolute necessity, so I had no choice but to prepare myself mentally.
Especially since entering this Training Facility, during my time as an ordinary person I had only occasionally watched videos online, so I hadn’t known information that wasn’t available to the general public. Because of that, I couldn’t help but become more serious about everything.
‘There are Heterogeneous Beings and factions within the Black Gate, after all.’
With the Black Gate drawing so close now, I naturally couldn’t help but feel tension.
Even just considering Hwang Hana—she was a powerhouse I couldn’t possibly approach.
Hwang Hana had only recently advanced to the B-Rank Zone, yet even now I couldn’t match her, so it was only natural that I felt anxious.
The instructors and other trainees at the Training Facility spoke of me with admiration, but I refused to become arrogant.
‘I’ve grown stronger, but… I still have a long way to go.’
With beings of various dimensions gathering within the Black Gate, there might be others of EX-Rank like myself, or I could even encounter those of grades higher than S-Rank.
EX-Rank wasn’t common, but I still couldn’t afford to be complacent.
That said, I wasn’t afraid.
If I had to go anyway, there was no point in being afraid.
Besides.
‘There’s still nearly a month left before I graduate. There’s no need to be afraid already.’
It would be difficult to cower and retreat when I possessed a cheat ability like Analysis.
While I was thinking such thoughts, I heard a knock on my dormitory door.
Knock, knock—
“Who is it?”
All the trainees, including the two Mages, should have been sprawled out after lunch, so I wondered who had come looking for me. When I opened the door, an unexpected person stood before it.
* * *
While the trainees were resting after lunch.
The instructors had gathered once more to discuss matters.
In just two days of training, two trainees had mastered all the techniques. This was an unprecedented occurrence since the Hunter Training Center’s establishment, so it was natural they would convene.
“Not just Trainee Dohyun, but Trainee Jiyuchan as well?”
“He’s certainly fast.”
“From what I understand, Trainee Jiyuchan awakened to mana after the sparring training and learned swordsmanship.”
“Yes, he used swordsmanship in the practical training as well.”
“Hmm. What are we to do about this.”
The Hunter Training Center was, in essence, a place to cultivate Hunters, and the month-long educational period existed precisely to ensure all techniques were mastered.
But what about those who had already mastered all the foundational techniques?
This predicament left the instructors with no choice but to grapple with the problem.
Their progress was simply too rapid.
Dohyun’s advancement matched that of an Irregular, so the instructors had accepted it as inevitable, but watching Jiyuchan chase after Dohyun with such speed meant action had to be taken now.
“Trainee Jiyuchan still lacks some practical combat experience, but I believe that will be resolved within the next two to three days.”
“It might not even take that long.”
“But Trainee Dohyun is actually the greater concern.”
“Exactly. To be honest, Trainee Dohyun has already surpassed what this Training Facility can teach him.”
In a sense, it was a pleasant dilemma—South Korea had produced talents of such exceptional caliber. Yet for the instructors bearing responsibility, it presented a genuinely difficult decision, leaving them in an awkward position.
As they continued deliberating, Hwang Hana stepped forward and posed a question to Kim Arum.
“How is the Black Gate information curriculum progressing?”
“Both of them are performing excellently, so it should be completed within the next week at the earliest.”
At Kim Arum’s words, Hwang Hana nodded in understanding and spoke.
“I will personally inform the Hunter Association. I believe it would be best to proceed with early discharge for Trainee Dohyun and Trainee Jiyuchan next week.”
Though unprecedented, everyone could only nod in agreement.
Keeping the two here any longer would be wasteful, so after reaching this decision, Hwang Hana made a stop before reporting to the Association.
“Who is it?”
She had encountered Dohyun in front of his dormitory quarters and posed the question.
“Could we have a conversation?”
