Chapter 3
Chapter 3: Can I See This Too? (2)
To the trainees, Hwang Hana was like a celebrity.
But the moment she unleashed her presence alongside her words, the situation transformed entirely.
At Hwang Hana’s declaration that she would put them through a grueling month, the trainees who had harbored doubts couldn’t help but tremble at the sheer force of her aura.
It wasn’t mere bluster.
It was the mana resonance of a true powerhouse.
For trainees who had awakened their mana, the difference was unmistakably palpable.
Hwang Hana—a B-Grade Hunter hailed as a prodigious newcomer of the A-Grade Guild Taebaek.
Some had dismissed her, questioning what genius could exist at merely B-Grade, but those were the words of the truly ignorant.
Even the trainees experiencing her presence now had harbored such doubts moments ago, but everything had changed.
‘W-what!?’
‘I-I can’t breathe…!’
‘This is a B-Grade Hunter!?’
‘It’s… impossible.’
Their breath caught in their throats, as if standing before a predator.
Would a mouse feel this way before a serpent?
While everyone else was suffocating under the weight of her presence, Dohyun alone was astonished for an entirely different reason.
[You have successfully analyzed the skill 「Intimidation [B]」 of 『Hwang Hana』.]
[You acquire 100 AP.]
[You have successfully analyzed a skill from an opponent of significantly higher caliber.]
[You acquire an additional 100 AP.]
‘Interesting.’
I could now read one of Hwang Hana’s status windows that had previously been illegible.
It seemed I could analyze skills when they were actively used.
From this, I understood something crucial.
By analyzing anything related to Hunters beyond status windows, I could gain AP. And after successfully analyzing Intimidation, another realization came naturally to me.
‘She’s holding back.’
Through the analysis, I could sense it clearly.
The Intimidation skill Hwang Hana had just used was not at full power.
That’s why, despite the vast gap between us, I had succeeded in analyzing her skill—a realization that came to me effortlessly.
As I reached this understanding,
another message appeared.
[You have successfully analyzed a skill exceeding the standard threshold.]
[Meeting the conditions, you can acquire the skill 「Intimidation [B]」 at half the cost.]
[
『500 AP』
▶ Will you acquire the skill 「Intimidation [B]」 for 『250 AP』?]
‘A discount?’
Why would I refuse?
The moment Dohyun accepted, he felt something settle into his body, and the method of releasing mana, however faint, was etched into his mind.
[You have acquired the skill 「Oppressive Force [B]」.]
[This skill exceeds your current stats.]
[Your stats will increase slightly beyond their original level.]
[Due to the acquired skill, your mana permanently increases by +5.]
[You cannot activate this skill at its full power.]
Though the messages read like warnings, Dohyun already understood them himself.
The moment the power settled into his body, he grasped how to use it.
Simultaneously, he felt a force coursing through his body, transforming into particles of light that swirled and pulled into him.
It was as if he’d become one with the world—a faint sensation that could only be described as such.
Was this the true power of Analysis?
‘Incredible.’
As Dohyun felt this way, Hwang Hana regarded him with an enigmatic gaze.
Then, releasing her momentum—or more precisely, her oppressive force—she turned to survey the trainees and spoke.
“Training begins tomorrow. We’ll be processing the admission of new trainees until today, so wait until then. Oh, and there are orientation pamphlets inside the building—use those to familiarize yourselves with the facilities. All amenities are available from day one.”
With that, she turned away, and only then did the trainees gasp for breath, their faces draining of color.
They looked as though someone had wrung their necks, but more than that, they recalled Hwang Hana’s words.
That she would push them mercilessly.
“Ah… this is bad.”
“Cough, cough. Ugh, this is going to be really tough…”
“C-can we even withdraw…?”
“I heard training center education is mandatory.”
While everyone else trembled at the thought of the training ahead, only Dohyun wore a satisfied smile.
New trainees, indeed.
The prospect of gaining new AP was simply too satisfying.
And though he’d only seen one instructor—Hwang Hana—there were certainly other instructors as well.
Considering that, this place was undoubtedly a goldmine.
While the other trainees remained rigid, Dohyun eagerly headed toward the interior of the Training Facility, prompting the other trainees to call out to him in confusion.
“H-hey, where are you going?”
“Huh? I’m going to look around the building.”
“What?”
“The facilities are available from today, right? It’s good to scout them out beforehand.”
With that, Dohyun whooshed into the building, leaving the remaining four trainees staring after him in disbelief.
They could hardly believe this was the same person who’d just experienced that oppressive force.
And someone muttered under their breath.
“Can… someone like that really become a Hunter?”
The remaining trainees found themselves nodding involuntarily at those words.
Dohyun’s demeanor was precisely that of someone destined to become a Hunter.
* * *
Within the Hunter Training Center, there were several types of buildings, most of which were for trainees, but one was reserved for instructors.
Hwang Hana entered the building where the instructors’ quarters and facilities were concentrated.
Until just before seeing the trainees, she had felt nothing but pride at returning as the head instructor to the place where she had come as a trainee merely two years ago. But now she returned with a grave expression and quickly reviewed the documents that had just been delivered today.
They were documents containing the personal information of the trainees who had just been admitted.
‘Hmm, that’s strange.’
Personal information showing below-average figures.
None other than Dohyun’s documents.
There was no system, but in modern times, there were many measurable metrics. They had even created machines capable of measuring mana, so there were plenty of standards for measuring physical abilities.
Thanks to this, such records were well documented in the files, but Dohyun’s figures were definitely low.
His physical abilities could be said to rank last among the five.
He was on the same level as a female awakener, which said everything.
Even his mana was recorded at the lowest figures.
Based on the documents alone, he was a trainee who definitely needed training.
However.
‘He endured my mana pressure.’
A technique commonly called mana pressure.
Analysis described the skill as oppression.
For those without a system, it wasn’t called a skill but a technique, and mana pressure was one such technique.
In any case, mana pressure was a fundamental technique for hunters above a certain level.
It was a technique to suppress weaker opponents and stiffen their movements slightly, and it was also a technique to escape from the pressure commonly called fear that strong monsters emit.
But a trainee who had just awakened could endure that?
Even if Hwang Hana had gone easy on him, it was strange.
Moreover.
‘The last part seemed to be him using mana pressure….’
Reading mana was no easy feat, so even Hwang Hana couldn’t be certain, but it definitely looked like Dohyun was using mana pressure.
But Hwang Hana shook her head, thinking it didn’t make sense even to her.
‘That can’t be. I must have seen it wrong.’
If what Hwang Hana saw was true, it would mean he endured the mana pressure from the start, and seeing that, he followed her lead and used mana pressure to escape. But this made even less sense.
It was more credible that she had simply misread it.
Still, just in case.
‘I should mark him for observation.’
Having marked him as a person of interest, Hwang Hana examined the other documents with a peculiar expression.
They were documents of other trainees arriving today, and seeing one of them, she let out a slight laugh.
No, if even half of what she saw was true, then perhaps.
‘This year’s batch is producing two promising prospects.’
She murmured while looking at another person of interest’s documents.
Another promising prospect by the name of Jiyuchan.
When she first discovered him, it had been quite a stir, but if what she saw in Dohyun’s abilities was true, it felt like it would become quite the sensation.
Just as Hwang Hana was thinking this, another instructor hurriedly entered the room where she was.
Had something happened?
On the first day of admission to the Training Facility, or rather, it hadn’t even been ten minutes, and already?
Hwang Hana looked up in surprise as an instructor rushed in, and the instructor spoke urgently.
“Chief Instructor Hwang Hana? I think you need to go check on something right now.”
“What happened?”
“Yes, Trainee Dohyun is currently in the Training Ground….”
“I’ll head there immediately.”
The moment Hwang Hana heard the name Dohyun, she responded and immediately made her way to the Training Ground.
And there, she discovered something unbelievable.
“…What is this?”
* * *
Rewinding time slightly to when Hwang Hana was entering the Instructor Building, Dohyun was able to enter the Trainee Dormitory.
Unfolding a pamphlet placed at the entrance, I could see quite a detailed description of the building.
Feeling much like a freshman entering university, as I looked at the pamphlet, Analysis stirred within me.
Thus, Analysis—that king of gods—scanned the terrain and even provided directions.
‘Analysis really does everything I want it to analyze.’
Praising Analysis, I headed toward the library, which had captured my interest the most.
Its official name was the Basic Technique Library, and upon entering, I could see various books.
There weren’t that many books.
Perhaps around twenty at most?
But judging from the titles, I could infer something.
‘These are all skills?’
Just to be sure, I picked out one book with a familiar title.
The book’s title was none other than.
[Dagger Mastery]
Upon opening the book with its familiar title, I realized this was a manual.
A manual designed to help one handle daggers more skillfully.
And I could discover a passage written at the beginning of the book.
[This manual is one of the basic manuals acquired using Points.]
Since this was a manual version of a skill I already possessed, I examined it carefully with curiosity.
And as I flipped through the book casually, scanning through to the end, my observation responded as expected.
[The 「Dagger Mastery[F]」 recorded in the Skill Book has been analyzed.]
[This is a skill below the standard threshold.]
[You acquire the skill without consuming 『AP (Analysis Points)』.]
[You acquire the skill 「Dagger Mastery[F]」.]
[You already possess this skill.]
[Your stats do not increase.]
[The proficiency of skill 「Dagger Mastery[F]」 increases.]
[「Dagger Mastery[F]」- (2 / 3)]
[Analyzing 「Dagger Mastery[F]」 one more time will raise the rank of 「Dagger Mastery[F]」.]
‘Wow, insane.’
Looking at that message window, I swallowed hard.
I hadn’t even read the skill book thoroughly—I’d skimmed it carelessly—yet I could master the skill in one go. Realizing this fact, I glanced around the Record Room again, and seeing those mere twenty volumes, I swallowed hard.
This wasn’t just a record room.
‘A goldmine!’
With that assessment, I grinned widely.
Less than ten minutes later, I arrived at the Training Room to experiment with various techniques.
Not long after, Hwang Hana, who had also arrived at the Training Room, witnessed something utterly absurd.
Me, conjuring flames in midair and firing them at a Scarecrow.
“D-Dohyun? How are you using that technique?”
“Um… I read it in a book and it just worked?”
“What?!”
I wasn’t lying.
