Episode 28

Chapter 28: Party Formation! (2)

Han Muyeol had accomplished quite a lot in South Korea.

First, he recorded South Korea’s first A-rank, and was called an iron wall who protected his party members better than any other A-rank hunters. Even though he had now stepped back to the rear lines due to his age, he was also famous as the head of the Korean Hunter Association for preventing the departure of domestic hunters as much as possible.

Since it was also Han Muyeol who maximized the previously nominal hunter welfare and created proper treatment, he was a figure who received the respect of many hunters, and his coming here at the moment Dohyun’s party was being formed was not without reason.

Of course, he had always enjoyed visiting promising newcomers when they appeared, but a situation like today was a first.

Hanalin? He had felt it before, but he had been surprised once by her magical talent that was hard to believe had appeared in South Korea, but seeing her directly like this, he could definitely feel it anew.

‘Is she blocking my surrounding aura with maximum control?’

She was trying to endure Han Muyeol’s naturally radiating aura with mana control somehow, but even that seemed insufficient as he watched Hanalin trembling from the crushing sensation, and he couldn’t help but admire her inwardly.

When had there ever been a mage in South Korea who reduced his aura with mana control?

Moreover, he looked at another young man who was enduring his aura with comparable ability.

Seeing that he carried a sword, he was a swordsman, and Han Muyeol similarly admired Jiyuchan, who possessed the physical abilities and mana that had once stirred up the association.

If Hanalin was softening the aura with delicate and tremendous mana control, Jiyuchan was doing the opposite, similarly emitting aura to neutralize Han Muyeol’s aura.

Of course, that didn’t mean he had perfectly erased Han Muyeol’s aura, so he could be seen struggling, but a swordsman should indeed be like that.

When Han Muyeol was admiring the two who had long since passed the passing grade, he looked at the last young man, Dohyun, with meaningful eyes and swallowed a sound as if he had seen something mysterious.

‘This guy must be Dohyun.’

He could tell without being told.

Since Hwang Hana had reported calling him a monster-like guy, he had come to see how great he was and test him by emitting his aura, but unlike the other two, seeing him act as if nothing was wrong, he couldn’t help but be astounded.

Even if Han Muyeol hadn’t emitted his aura with full sincerity, it was an aura that wouldn’t be strange for an F-rank to faint from.

But seeing him take it and act as if nothing happened, no, rather admiring such aura and looking up at Han Muyeol, it was exactly as Hwang Hana had described.

“Indeed… he’s certainly worthy of being called a monster.”

At those words, Dohyun made an incredulous expression, but Han Muyeol looked at Dohyun as if it were strange instead.

The current Han Muyeol was clearly a figure who had entered the ranks of superhumans, so from an ordinary person’s perspective, he could be seen as a monster, but on the other hand, wasn’t Dohyun still a rookie who had never entered a Black Gate except during the tutorial?

In such a state, to take his aura and make such an expression was too absurd.

“Hah, well, I’ve confirmed what I needed.”

With Han Muyeol’s words, the aura disappeared like a fragrance passing through the air, and the staff member who hadn’t been exposed to the aura due to his consideration looked at them bewilderedly.

Looking at such a staff member, Han Muyeol said.

“Explain well to them, and if they say they’re going in today, guide them well. I wish all three of you good luck. I hope we can meet again next time. I’ll be going now.”

Han Muyeol said this and chuckled as he left the party waiting room.

Although the three were currently F-rank, perhaps if they entered and came out of the Black Gate this time, their ranks would be different?

Since it was an achievement sufficiently possible for not just Dohyun but the remaining two as well, Han Muyeol thought this while smiling.

‘An interesting party has appeared.’

Seeing the birth of a party that could stir up South Korea again, he headed to the Association President’s office with anticipation of how things would turn out.

Confident that a report would come to him soon.

* * *

When Han Muyeol, who had swept in like a storm, disappeared, Hanalin, who had lost strength and slumped to the floor, and Jiyuchan, who had similarly slid down to sit, were looking at the spot where Han Muyeol had disappeared with dazed eyes.

Although Han Muyeol had already left the spot, his presence still seemed to be there, creating a strange sense of pressure.

Hanalin and Jiyuchan were blankly like that when they turned their heads at the voice heard from behind.

“Why did he suddenly come? Huh? Why are you both…?”

Dohyun standing as if it was nothing, and the two sitting slumped.

At that subtle gap in their different situations, Hanalin and Jiyuchan let out sighs as if incredulous.

“…Hah.”

“…Phew.”

Rather, when Dohyun tilted his head as if puzzled by such a sight, the two belatedly came to their senses and stood up. And when the two stood up, the association staff quietly explained.

“Occ… asionally, when a party that the Association President likes appears, he comes like this once. And he’s famous for leaving without saying much… but today he even spoke before leaving.”

Those words meant that Han Muyeol had taken a liking to them, but Jiyuchan and Hanalin couldn’t be happy about it.

There were no words about themselves, only mentions about Dohyun, so it was understandable.

Although they had already acknowledged and accepted Dohyun, separately from that, their pride couldn’t help but be hurt. And Hanalin and Jiyuchan looked at each other with strange eyes and thought.

‘…Second place might be okay, but’

‘Third place is unacceptable.’

Simultaneously thinking that they absolutely couldn’t be last in a three-person party, they glared at each other, and unlike them, Dohyun was lost in thought looking at Han Muyeol who had now left.

‘No way, it costs 3000 just to view the status window? And how much would it cost to get skills…?’

Even B-rank Hwang Hana could now be viewed for a discounted 500AP since Dohyun had grown, but A-rank Han Muyeol, who was one level higher, had more than six times the difference.

For now, Hwang Hana’s Shadow King’s Swiftness was still the goal, but at this rate, he secretly set a small goal to become stronger more quickly and view Han Muyeol’s status window as well.

He thought that there were indeed tremendously many strong people in the world.

During this, Dohyun suddenly looked at the staff member and asked.

“So what do we do now?”

The staff member who had been watching the sudden situation was momentarily surprised by Dohyun’s question, then came to his senses and looked at them while providing additional explanation.

“The party ends with you three, but when you enter the Black Gate, a guide will be attached. As you already know, even though it’s a safe zone once you enter the Black Gate, never let your guard down, and you must not trust other people who aren’t from the association, especially other races.”

Although it was content they had learned to death at the training facility, Dohyun, Jiyuchan, and Hanalin nodded.

When all the party members nodded like that, the association staff explained various other things to them.

He mainly explained the branches owned by the Korean Hunter Association in the safe zone.

After finishing the explanation, the association staff asked them, who were nodding as if they had understood.

“Are you planning to enter today right away?”

At those words, Dohyun answered as if it were obvious.

“Yes, of course?”

Jiyuchan and Hanalin instantly turned their heads to look at Dohyun who answered as if it were no big deal, but somehow Jiyuchan and Hanalin ended up looking at each other instead of Dohyun.

They were ready to go right away. Since situations varied, they had come prepared just in case, but they hadn’t expected him to say they’d go so suddenly.

Thinking that this was so typical of Dohyun, both of them stayed quiet and simultaneously thought to themselves.

‘It would be awkward to oppose him here.’

‘I can’t fall behind in the hierarchy.’

Since both acknowledged Dohyun, he was already practically the party leader.

In such a situation, thinking that if either of them opposed Dohyun’s opinion they might fall behind in the hierarchy, both simultaneously nodded their heads.

“I was thinking of entering today right away too, but if you’re not ready we can postpone it?”

Completely unaware of such intense psychological warfare beneath the surface, Dohyun looked at the two as if he had just remembered.

Wondering if he had answered too quickly, he asked for their opinions while looking at the two, and they also answered almost immediately.

“I was also thinking of entering right away.”

“If the party’s formed, we should enter right away.”

As Dohyun nodded satisfactorily while watching the two answer immediately as if it were obvious, the two glared at each other sideways and were already entering into competition.

The Association staff member also watched this with some confusion, but quickly adapted and spoke up.

“I’ll call the F Zone guides right away.”

The Association staff member said this, and before long, three Association-affiliated Hunters appeared.

As soon as they appeared, Dohyun habitually analyzed them, and since there were no particularly noteworthy skills, he just roughly skimmed their names and characteristics.

It felt like he had gotten back 30 out of the 50 AP he had used earlier.

As Dohyun looked at them like this, they looked at Dohyun, Jiyuchan, and Hanalin and spoke.

“You’ve probably already been explained this, but you need to follow us and be recognized as two parties before entering the Black Gate so you can move to the safe zone where there are many Korean Hunter Association personnel.”

All three nodded at that explanation.

Since the interior of the Black Gate was larger than Earth’s African continent even though it was an F-grade zone, guides were needed to help them move to the designated Safe Zone like this.

Usually guides would form parties among themselves, and just by entering together with that party, they could go to the Safe Zone where those guides had last been, so this was the method they used.

Although everyone had said they were ready, Jiyuchan and Hanalin looked a bit nervous, while Dohyun was smiling as if excited.

Following the guides like this, they reached the window at the Association’s designated spot where they could see the Black Gate, and simultaneously the guides shouted.

“If you think about entering at the same time now, you’ll be able to enter.”

Even though this was all content they had learned at the Training Facility, Jiyuchan and Hanalin thought about entering while trembling slightly, and Dohyun could see messages due to his analysis ability.

‘Of course.’

When he answered the obvious question, another message appeared before Dohyun’s eyes.
