Chapter 286
286: The Overseer Party’s Rest
* * *
Two days had passed since the peace accord with the Beladrina Dimension was established, and Hanalin couldn’t help but feel the weight of it.
Every channel on the television was buzzing about the peace accord.
-Good evening, viewers. Yesterday, South Korea—no, Earth itself—witnessed the greatest leap forward in history. Until now…
-This is the economic report. Following news of the peace accord with Beladrina, today’s stock market was nothing short of a festival. The KOSPI surged from the opening bell…
-Yes, I’m currently at Gwanghwamun Plaza. Behind me, the area around the Black Gate is no longer filled with tension, but rather with the cheers and anticipation of citizens…
Even switching channels briefly revealed the same narrative playing endlessly across every station.
While it was certainly remarkable that this achievement had been accomplished by her own party, Hanalin tried not to dwell on it too much.
Though it was a tremendous accomplishment achieved by her party, Hanalin felt neither pride nor joy about it.
‘After all, it wasn’t something I did.’
Because it wasn’t her own achievement, that made it all the more difficult. Was that why?
She felt a creeping sense of anxiety.
Of course, excluding Dohyun, it wasn’t as if Hanalin’s progress was the slowest—in fact, it was roughly comparable.
Compared to Hezway or Vera, who had recently joined, Hanalin actually had a slight edge in certain areas.
Against the Superior Races, that is.
But why did it feel this way?
‘Sigh, this is frustrating.’
Though she felt like she was falling behind, she decided not to dwell on it for now.
She resolved to focus on only one thing.
The Aether Spectrum.
According to Dohyun, it was a mana cultivation method that aligned perfectly with her nature, so she decided to trust him and move forward.
It was a way to achieve a greater leap than Jiyuchan, who had only learned the movement technique but not the mental cultivation method, or Hezway, who had created a mana heart but hadn’t yet mastered the mental cultivation method or mana cultivation technique.
So Hanalin trusted Dohyun and immediately entered her room to begin learning the Aether Spectrum.
‘I’ll make it work.’
With that determination burning in her heart, Hanalin began to master the Aether Spectrum.
While one might question whether this counted as rest, for Hanalin, personal cultivation time was the truest form of relaxation, so she devoted herself entirely to her studies.
She had been diligently reading and interpreting since yesterday, and unlike at first, Dohyun’s explanations were so clear that she was making steady progress.
By today, the second day of her practice, Hanalin had begun to grasp the principles, and just as Celestials, known as the mana race, had their hair tinged with aether, her own hair was gradually becoming more blue, and her eyes were changing as well.
However, unlike the Celestials with their aether-like flowing hair, she was taking on an appearance that combined only the best traits of humans and Celestials.
Simultaneously, as pure mana accumulated in Hanalin’s body, her skin naturally began to brighten, and even the slightly tanned areas were becoming fairer.
She was unaware that this was the process of reaching a new realm.
* * *
Jiyuchan, another founding member of the Overseer Party, felt similarly to Hanalin.
The more he read posts praising the Overseer Party, the more he felt a sense of burden—or perhaps pressure.
It wasn’t quite oppressive, but when he considered whether he had truly contributed to this celebrated party, Jiyuchan could only shake his head.
So when Dohyun promised to teach him the mental cultivation method later, Jiyuchan was delighted, but he couldn’t help feeling slightly anxious that Hanalin was learning the mana cultivation method first.
Was it because of this frustration?
Upon hearing that he could move about without using transformation magic, he immediately headed to the Hunter Association Headquarters and began wielding his sword.
But.
“Sigh, this is frustrating.”
No matter how much I swung my blade or practiced footwork, I couldn’t shake this suffocating feeling.
The training that followed felt so meaningless that I wondered if resting would be better.
I had already applied the footwork that Dohyun taught me well, so there were no problems after that, and while I couldn’t say I had mastered it completely, I could now use the footwork I had adapted to myself to its fullest extent.
I realized that to progress beyond this point, it wasn’t the footwork that needed to develop—it was I myself who needed to grow stronger.
Because of this, I thought there was no point in continuing to train here.
‘I need to go to Draxion.’
Though I was reluctant to admit it now, I was beginning to understand why Dohyun was so obsessed with sparring.
If I trained alone, my inner demons would find me and make me even more anxious. In that case, it would be better to either rest completely or gain enlightenment through sparring.
While Dohyun’s instruction was excellent, I didn’t want to disturb his rest day by asking him to spar, so I chose to go to Draxion instead.
After all, Hezway had told me last time that I could come and train whenever I wanted.
So I moved to the Draxion Dimension through the Black Gate.
My designated arrival location was the Draxion Palace, so as soon as I appeared, a Dragon-human servant waiting there recognized me and bowed respectfully.
“Welcome, Jiyuchan of the Overseer Party.”
“Hello.”
I greeted them simply, then recalled Hezway’s instructions to tell the servants waiting here if I had any business, and asked:
“Is Hezway here? I came to spar.”
“Ah, the Princess is currently away on a trip to Beladrina.”
“Hmm.”
My expression showed disappointment, but then I sensed a portal opening nearby and felt Kalion approaching. I smiled, actually pleased.
As expected.
Kalion appeared before me and grinned widely upon seeing me.
“Oh, so you’re one of Hezway’s party members. Jiyuchan, was it?”
“That’s right. I came to spar, but Hezway isn’t here. Would you be willing to spar with me?”
“Ho? A challenge? Excellent.”
Kalion accepted my proposal with a hearty smile, and we both headed to the Sparring Hall to begin our match.
Similarly, I was also enjoying what could be called a very fulfilling rest day, despite not exactly resting.
* * *
On what was supposed to be the Overseer Party’s meager rest day, the only two Superior Races—Hezway and Vera—faced each other.
The reason these two had gathered was nothing special.
Just as chaos had erupted on Earth, significant ripples were spreading throughout the dimensional realm, so they had gathered to discuss matters that humans like Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan couldn’t handle.
Of course, Belmutt had already resolved the situation in the Draxion Dimension, and similarly, Lucy had handled things in the Beladrina Dimension, but there could certainly be other incidents that might occur to the Overseer Party in the future—just like during this recent Elf trap incident.
That’s why the two of them had gathered to discuss the matter.
Of course.
“…Sigh.”
Vera still couldn’t believe she had joined the Overseer Party, sighing heavily with lifeless eyes, but since the Empress had mentioned it directly, she couldn’t refuse.
And Vera knew it well herself—being with Dohyun allowed for rapid growth.
Of course, Vera hadn’t wanted to grow quickly, but now that she had grown while being with Dohyun, she realized that the growth itself was enjoyable.
Hezway spoke firmly to Vera, who was like this.
“Since you’ve already joined us, you might as well accept it.”
“Yes… I suppose so.”
“Regardless, we’ve made things difficult for ourselves going forward. The Elves have now turned the Divine Assassin Squad into enemies, so even if they struggle to move for a while, we need to consider how the other races will respond.”
Since understanding how the Six Superior Races would act was the priority, Vera nodded in agreement when Hezway spoke.
As she did, she mentally counted through the Six Superior Races.
“The Mihoo Clan should be fine.”
“I think so too.”
They were a race that moved primarily out of curiosity, but they weren’t the type to act with malice.
If the Elves couldn’t move and the Mihoo Clan was acceptable, then the other two races were the problem.
One was the Changelings.
“Hmm, the Changelings are…”
“I’m not sure about them. They’re so unpredictable…”
“Their numbers aren’t that large anyway, so it’s not something we need to worry too much about for now.”
“Then the real problem is…”
“The Asura Clan.”
The Asura Clan.
They could be called what was commonly known as the Demon Race.
Bellicose and revering combat.
Uniquely, they were the only race that had no mages whatsoever.
Moreover.
“They possess formidable combat power without even using martial arts…”
“I think the Asura Clan will definitely come looking for us to fight.”
“Certain.”
So we needed to prepare countermeasures against the Asura Clan.
It wasn’t simply that the Asura Clan was dangerous—both Hezway and Vera knew Dohyun’s nature all too well.
“If the Asura Clan attacks, Dohyun will be thrilled to fight.”
“…He denies it, but he’s a battle junkie.”
Thinking this way, they both concluded that the best approach was to prevent them from meeting in the first place.
The reason was simple.
True to their nature as a combat race, they could smell blood better than anyone—especially the blood of their own kind.
When their brethren were fighting, that place was either an interesting battlefield, or if someone had killed their kin, that person was strong, making it fun to fight them too—so they would always seek combat one way or another.
So if one Asura was caught, it was only a matter of time before more swarmed in, which was why even most Superior Races would flee at the mere sight of the Asura Clan.
But if they encountered Dohyun?
‘He would definitely fight.’
‘He would absolutely fight.’
If that happened, they would have to be prepared to fight every single Asura in the B-Rank Zone.
The thought made Hezway and Vera dizzy as they looked at each other and spoke.
“We must never create a situation where Dohyun and the Asura Clan meet.”
“Absolutely not.”
They made plans as if swearing an oath, and decided that no matter what, they wouldn’t dispel the transformation magic while inside the Black Gate.
I swallowed hard, thinking I’d need to tell Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan about this.
These two also felt more like a Dohyun countermeasures committee than actual rest, which was ironic.
While everyone was engaged in tasks closer to work than leisure, all while thinking of Dohyun.
Dohyun was.
“Ahahaha! Drink up, drink up!”
“So Choe Yunsuk really is a blockhead!? How did you even fall for that!?”
“Drink!”
“Ugh.”
Only Dohyun was truly enjoying proper rest.
Another day passed, and the day they’d decided to enter again drew near.
