Chapter 261
261: A New Party (1)
* * *
In the VIP Lounge of the Ilseong Guild, wrapped in an awkward silence, five people sat at a single table.
There was Hwang Hana, her spirit visibly dampened as she hung her head, Dohyun rolling his eyes as he watched her, Hanalin and Jiyuchan regarding him with reproach, and Hezway—all five of them suspended in suffocating quiet within the lounge.
While it was called an entrance test, I had admittedly been excessive.
I believed the problem stemmed from how casually I’d caught an attack thrown with my full power.
The truth was, I’d attacked with complete conviction, and anyone would fall into self-doubt if their full-force strike was blocked by nothing more than an index and middle finger, like something out of a comic book.
Precisely because of this, I hesitated before finally opening my mouth.
“Well… I believe Instructor Hwang Hana should be allowed to join our party.”
At my words, Hwang Hana lifted her head, though her expression remained far from positive.
Yet there was something unmistakably resolute about her—separate from her dampened spirit.
I continued, observing her expression.
“Instructor Hwang Hana, your ability to wield short blades is genuinely exceptional.”
At my words, Hanalin, Jiyuchan, and Hezway all nodded in agreement. If her skill hadn’t been exceptional, we wouldn’t have considered recruiting her in the first place, and the three of them wouldn’t have reproached me for dampening her spirit.
However.
“Your movements are too monotonous. Or perhaps I should say they’re predictable, formulaic. I suspect it’s because you’ve trained primarily against monsters rather than hunters.”
“Ah.”
At my feedback, Hwang Hana nodded as if something had clicked into place, unable to help but acknowledge the truth.
Just as I’d said, Hwang Hana had learned methods to effectively eliminate monsters, and our sparring session reflected that same approach.
During our match, she’d gradually learned by observing my movements and occasionally launched fierce attacks, but her fundamental framework remained specialized for fighting monsters.
However.
“Those monsters aren’t even strong ones—they’re the weak dregs pushed to the Outer Region. Your movements are optimized for fighting them. In simpler terms, you move like someone fighting opponents weaker than yourself.”
“Ah, yes! That’s certainly true…”
As Hwang Hana answered, she felt the sting of my words deeply.
This was precisely the greatest reason she’d left the Taebaek Guild. For someone with her drive to improve, nothing was more painful than this.
That’s why this feedback from me was truly invaluable.
“Because of that, your movements are too intuitive, making them easy for opponents to read. It’s similar to how some mid-tier Birdmen move—when facing people, they act on instinct without system. But you lack their physical durability and strength, so against hunters of a certain caliber, it won’t work at all.”
At those words, Hwang Hana nodded as if committing them to memory.
I’d deliberately held back, but through Analysis, one of the common traits I’d discovered among Birdmen was precisely this.
If humans excelled in weapon proficiency compared to other races, then Birdmen possessed superior physical abilities compared to others.
Even with identical stats, Birdmen’s strength often proved superior—this was the racial characteristic I’d mentioned.
Hwang Hana’s movements were instinctive like a Birdman’s, but weaker than theirs, and her weapon technique was so rigid that she couldn’t leverage any of her advantages.
So when I pointed out these aspects, Hwang Hana’s expression brightened noticeably, but then she shook her head in disagreement.
At her sudden shift, I stopped speaking.
“I truly appreciate what you’re saying… but you don’t need to say such things.”
“Pardon?”
“The truth is, I still feel I’m lacking.”
“No, that’s not true. Your talent and actual skill are…”
At her words, I waved my hand dismissively as I spoke.
But.
“Right now that’s true, but if I were to join Dohyun’s party and train, things would improve, wouldn’t they?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“But in doing so, I would become a burden to all of you. Entering at B-Rank and heading toward the Central Zone, I would certainly be a hindrance. To avoid that, I’d need to train, but from my assessment, it doesn’t seem like something that can happen in the short term.”
“Oh…”
Hwang Hana’s words were so perfectly reasonable that Dohyun couldn’t muster a counter-argument.
The same went for Hanalin and Jiyuchan.
If Hwang Hana were to start learning right now as she said, she would certainly learn faster than others, but it would definitely take time to master these skills.
What Hwang Hana was saying seemed to suggest that this period wouldn’t be short.
Just as Hwang Hana was about to give up on the party.
“Hmm, does Earth not have the concept of a support party?”
“Huh?” “What?”
“Oh! That does exist!?”
“Really!?”
At Hezway’s sudden interjection, Dohyun and Jiyuchan looked confused, while Hanalin and Hwang Hana, who had experience with organizations, reacted with recognition.
The concept of a support party, or backup party as it was sometimes called, did exist on Earth.
Or more precisely, it was a concept that most dimensions connected to the Black Gate possessed—you could call it a reserve roster, or substitute personnel, something along those lines.
Since the Dohyun Party was a single independent party rather than a guild, they’d been slow to realize it, but typically whenever a party lost members unexpectedly, there was always a backup party created for replacement.
After Hezway explained it in terms Dohyun and Jiyuchan could understand, he continued.
“We also need a support party in case we suffer major injuries or lose members due to unforeseen circumstances, so what if Hwang Hana joined that side? We were planning to have Terra and Weasel join us anyway.”
Since Hezway had already planned it that way, he spoke naturally, and Dohyun certainly thought it was a good idea.
Moreover.
“After all, this support party isn’t just for roster substitution—it’s about securing reliable personnel to bring along when raids need extra members, right?”
“Yes, that’s correct.” “Exactly.” “That is so.”
When Hanalin, Hezway, and Hwang Harin answered Dohyun’s question, he looked at Hwang Hana and asked.
“So what do you think of this support party? You’d learn here, and since we run raids frequently, you’d go along with us there, and training alongside the Dragon-humans would teach you a lot too, wouldn’t it?”
“Training naturally happens when you party with us Dragon-humans. In fact, I think it’s perfect since Terra and Weasel need to put in more effort as well.”
At Dohyun’s words, Hwang Hana’s eyes brightened, and she spoke carefully.
“If you’ll have me, I’ll do my best.”
Hwang Hana, whose spirits had been low until moments ago, accepted like this, and Dohyun nodded with a relieved expression.
Dohyun had been terrified, thinking he’d somehow crushed her spirit, but now he finally relaxed.
Then suddenly.
Dohyun looked at Hezway and asked.
“Wait? So we can go to the Draxion Dimension and learn training methods?”
“With the agreement in place, isn’t that natural? And it’s not just anyone—it’s our party’s support member, so the Grand Mother has already considered providing that level of support.”
“Oh?”
As Dohyun marveled at this, Hezway continued.
“Besides, even with transformation magic, if we only party among ourselves, we’d stand out too easily, so it’s beneficial for us if more human and Dragon-human parties form.”
“Hmm?”
“However, doing so might increase administrative work and eat into our time… would that be alright?”
Hezway was right—creating a party of Dragon-humans and humans together would indeed require systematic work, which meant administrative tasks were necessary.
But as Dohyun watched Hezway, he spoke as if to say there was nothing to worry about.
“It’s fine. I have someone who can handle it.”
“Oh?”
As Hezway’s curiosity kindled and he looked at Dohyun, the latter pulled out his phone and called someone.
Not long after, the other party answered.
-…Yes, I’ve answered the call.
“Ah! Guild Master! I have some excellent news—would you like to hear it?”
It was none other than Lee Jaeho, the head of Dohyun’s guild, the Ilseong Guild.
However, since he was already overwhelmed with work due to inquiries about Dohyun’s identity, Lee Jaeho was about to refuse.
-…I’m already swamped with work, so I’m afraid….
But then.
“Ah, I was calling because I was wondering if there’s a guild capable of collaborating with the Dragon-humans. If not, that’s unfortunate….”
-Y-you mean collaborating with the Dragon-humans!? I’ll come right away! What should I handle first?
“Hehe, if you come to where I am, I’ll explain everything in detail.”
After Dohyun hung up, the others clicked their tongues as they watched him casually manipulate a large guild master like a toy in his hand.
Thinking that Dohyun was truly masterful at this sort of thing, Hezway looked at Dohyun and the other party members and spoke.
“Then this time, I’ll give you all a tour of the Draxion Dimension.”
Seeing Hezway’s grinning expression, Dohyun nodded as if it would be fun.
Then, suddenly.
“Hmm.”
As Hezway let out a small sigh, Dohyun asked what was wrong.
“What’s the matter?”
“I have a rather unusual older brother, and I’m a bit worried about him.”
“An older brother?”
“So Hezway has an older brother?”
“Oh?”
As Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan reacted that way, Hezway thought it would be fine and spoke.
“Well, I can just ignore him. It should be okay.”
From those words, I sensed that Hezway’s older brother wasn’t treated very well, but not long after, I would understand why Hezway had said such a thing.
* * *
As the Dimensional Peace Agreement spread across all dimensions, sparking wonder and curiosity, there was also one in the Draxion Dimension itself who was seething with indignation.
In the Royal Palace filled with Lava Zones located in the center of the Draxion Dimension, a Dragon-human who heard the news began spewing fire and raging wildly.
He had a muscular, well-built appearance, but his muscles were so densely packed that he had almost no sense of roughness, yet his muscles didn’t appear lacking either—a male Dragon-human with a perfect golden balance of a physique was smashing everything around him while several Retainers desperately tried to stop him from crossing over to Earth.
“GRAAAAAAHHHHH!!! LET GO OF ME!!!”
“Please calm yourself! Lord Kalion!!!”
“Calm Lord Kalion down!!!”
Kalion Paraksaar.
The grandson of the current Grand Mother and the sole existence called the prince of the Draxion Dimension.
And.
“How dare you!!! Some human dared to lead my sister astray!!!”
“P-please calm yourself, Lord Kalion!! The agreement has already been decided by the Grand Mother!”
He was also the famously overprotective older brother of Hezway from the Draxion Dimension.
As Kalion glared at the retainer speaking such words, he roared.
“I don’t care about the agreement!!! Right now, I need to see the party leader of that human party Hezway joined!!! How dare he!!! He clearly seduced my innocent and gentle Hezway with malicious intent.”
“Please, at least show some restraint!!!”
“No, it’s just an agreement!!!”
The moment the retainers cried out as if exasperated, a wave of dimensional energy rippled through the Royal Palace as an inter-dimensional portal began to open. Sensing it, the retainers froze for an instant, and in that moment, Kalion seized the opportunity to break free from their restraint and rushed toward where the wave emanated from.
Spreading his wings, flames wrapped around his body in an instant, and then flames burst from behind Kalion’s back like a jet engine spewing fire, propelling him away at tremendous speed.
“Stop him quickly!!!”
“Oh no!!! If we lose the Prince, we can’t catch him because of his speed!!!”
“Chase after him!!!”
Chaos erupted as the retainers pursued Kalion, but it was already too late.
Kalion moved with blinding speed toward where the wave originated, and he spotted five figures there.
Naturally, it was the Overseer Party with Hezway included and Hwang Hana. Dohyun, seeing Kalion appear so suddenly, was wondering what this meant when—
Kalion quickly assessed them. Excluding Hezway, there were two women and two men, and seeing them, Kalion cried out.
“Hezway!!! Your brother is here, so don’t worry!!!”
“??????” “??????” “??????” “??????”
As Kalion’s cry left Dohyun, Hanalin, Jiyuchan, and Hwang Hana bewildered, Hezway let out a sigh alone.
“Sigh…”
Then Kalion examined their faces.
Hanalin and Hwang Hana were women, so he immediately excluded them, and then he looked at Dohyun and Jiyuchan before pausing. Then, looking at Jiyuchan, he spoke.
“Looking at your face, it’s you!!! The cunning scoundrel who deceived my sister!!!”
“??????”
Jiyuchan’s eyes widened in genuine bewilderment at those words, and he pointed to himself as he spoke.
“Me???”
At that, Kalion paused again, wondering if he was wrong, looked back at Dohyun, then looked at Jiyuchan once more and cried out.
“It has to be you!!!”
“…”
For some reason, Dohyun’s mood had begun to sour considerably, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
