Episode 31

Chapter 31: This Is How You Use It, Right? (1)

The moment someone new entered the Black Gate, it was impossible not to stand out somehow. While entering the Black Gate was the same for everyone, that distinctive feeling of being a first-timer inevitably showed through their behavior—looking around nervously or being bewildered by new sensations.

If such people were discovered in the village formed in the Safe Zone? And with what appeared to be Guides? Then nine times out of ten, it meant they were newly arrived beginners.

The beings that looked like a half-and-half mix of bats and humans—the Bat-Human Hybrids—were salivating as they watched them.

Then they whispered among themselves using ultrasonic waves that only they could hear.

-Kekeke, looks like new beginners have come from Earth.

-The Guides look pathetic too.

-Only three of them? This is practically them offering themselves as bait.

-It’s been a while since we hunted, so we’re going this time, right?

-We need to eat and survive too.

-Kekeke, sounds good to me.

The Bat-Human Hybrids who had been chattering suddenly noticed Dohyun directing his gaze toward them, and one of them tilted their head in puzzlement.

They wondered if a mere human could actually see this far. Feeling a strange sense of unease, one of the Bat-Human Hybrids, Tsuraku, asked his companions.

-That human is looking this way?

-A human?

-Hey hey, Tsuraku, aren’t you being too paranoid?

Though the other two companions said that, they certainly felt the unease from that gaze looking their way, but they laughed it off thinking it was just a human after all.

-He’s turning his head away again.

-Must be a country bumpkin just looking around.

-No problem at all.

Tsuraku nodded at his companions’ words. Judging that he had probably been excessive, he watched the humans entering the building with his companions and said.

-Anyway, let’s decide on those guys as our next prey. We’ll target them when they leave the Safe Zone.

But when the humans came back out of the building, Guides were still attached to them, so they made ambiguous expressions.

A total of six people.

Compared to that, the number of Bat-Human Hybrid villains including Tsuraku was three.

Being numerically disadvantaged, they couldn’t help but frown.

-Hmm, but Guides are attached?

-Can’t we catch them?

-We could catch them, they’re just humans after all. But is there a reason for us to go through such trouble?

Hunting beginners in the first place was something they did to have an easy time, but if they had to face six opponents, no matter how confident they were of winning, it would inevitably become troublesome.

-That’s true.

-Tsuraku is right.

The moment the other two also agreed with Tsuraku’s words.

Those guys finished their hunt and returned, and they watched them closely again.

-Let’s keep watching just in case.

After all, they might go hunting without the Guides someday.

Then at that moment.

Sure enough, the three Guides came out of the dormitory as if they had business to attend to, and not long after, they could see the three beginners excluding the Guides heading outside the Safe Zone.

Should they call them beginners indeed?

-Kekekeke. Being beginners, they must have gained confidence from their earlier hunt.

-Foolish humans. Kukuku.

-Shall we start hunting then?

The three laughing Bat-Human Hybrids disappeared as if melting into the darkness.

* * *

Dohyun and the Guide Party returned to the dormitory after finishing their hunt.

And not long after, Dohyun casually brought up a topic to the Guide Party.

“Phew, let’s call it a day here. It’s not like today is the only day anyway.”

At Dohyun’s words, the three members of the Guide Party nodded with brightened expressions.

“Ah, then please rest well today.”

“We’ll provide backup when you go hunting tomorrow.”

“Since it’s your first time here, it’s not good to overdo it.”

All three were talents who could be called South Korea’s future, so they couldn’t help but be quite tense, but when Dohyun said that directly, they felt somewhat relieved.

When all three left for other business, Jiyuchan and Hanalin looked at Dohyun as if surprised.

Hadn’t the Dohyun they saw shown behavior close to a battle maniac? In fact, even Jiyuchan had sparred with Dohyun over 53 times at the Training Facility because his skills were good. Though Jiyuchan lost every time.

Anyway, Hanalin also knew well about Dohyun’s competitive spirit, greed for magic, and that persistent aspect of diving madly into training, so she found it puzzling that Dohyun would rest after just this much hunting on the first day.

“You’re really going to rest?”

“That’s unexpected.”

When Jiyuchan and Hanalin said that, Dohyun glared at them as if asking what kind of nonsense they were talking.

When the two flinched at seeing Dohyun’s eyes, Dohyun grinned and said.

“As if I’d really rest.”

But you said you were resting.

With exactly that expression, Jiyuchan and Hanalin looked at Dohyun and asked back.

“…Then?”

“We’re just going out?”

“Hehe, there’s something fun, you know?”

At those words, Jiyuchan and Hanalin looked at Dohyun with uneasy expressions, and Dohyun opened his mouth with a smile.

“The opponents are bat-human hybrids, three of them. I don’t know which dimension they’re from, but anyway, they’re definitely the villains who have been targeting Earth’s hunters.”

“…?”

“??????”

Jiyuchan and Hanalin looked at Dohyun with expressions asking how he knew that, but naturally, Dohyun didn’t explain such things.

Would they even believe him if he told them about Analysis?

Looking at the behavior he’d shown so far, they probably would believe him, but anyway, that wasn’t what was important.

Dohyun looked at the two and said with a smile.

“Are you going to tolerate being looked down upon?”

At those words, Jiyuchan and Hanalin’s expressions quickly changed.

They couldn’t help but be irritated by the mention of being looked down upon.

After all, weren’t they the owners of monstrous talents who had no rivals except for Dohyun? That’s why the fact that they had become targets of villains couldn’t help but be secretly annoying.

“…I can’t tolerate it.”

“We can’t just stay still.”

“Then let’s go.”

Seeing Dohyun smile as if things were going exactly as he wanted, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan had no choice but to shake their heads simultaneously.

So that’s why he sent away the Guide Party saying they should rest – he had an ulterior motive.

“…So that’s why you sent the Association hunters away.”

“…In case they wouldn’t attack if we were in a group?”

“Of course.”

At the saying about deceiving allies to deceive enemies, Hanalin and Jiyuchan felt their heads throb, but at the same time.

“It should be fun.”

“We need to make them pay for looking down on us.”

Since they were both the same type of people, they spoke with cold smiles just like Dohyun.

Dohyun nodded as if he had expected this.

Then.

“I’ll give you a signal, so you can step in then. I’ll tell you the rough plan.”

Dohyun said this and listed the general strategies that Analysis had told him rather than from his own mind, and Jiyuchan and Hanalin also nodded and clarified the plan.

It was quite a good plan, and deciding to follow Dohyun’s strategy, the three simultaneously left the Association Dormitory Building.

When they left the Safe Zone and entered the field where monsters appeared, those who had taken the bait began to move.

Dohyun also sensed those guys and said.

“They took the bait.”

* * *

Ulksha, one of many dimensions, also had to experience great upheaval when Black Gates appeared.

After experiencing the destruction of various major facilities by monsters that emerged from Black Gates due to insufficient points, they began training hunters and sending them to Black Gates.

The main race of Ulksha were bat-human hybrids called Ksha, who had superior physical abilities compared to humans and mainly dealt with ultrasonic waves, sound waves, and stealth, so they could adapt quickly.

After 80 years had passed, it was now a place where they could say they had escaped being a weak dimension.

However, there are always those who fall behind wherever you go. Tsuraku, along with Buharu and Ikshi, were among such individuals.

They were called villains within the Black Gate, scavengers who hunted weak hunters to gain points.

They had no intention of making an effort to advance to E-rank areas, and were surviving by playing around here and occasionally hunting hunters to fill their point quotas.

Moreover.

-Bullying weak bastards is thrilling.

-I don’t know why others don’t understand this fun.

-Kekeke, exactly.

How could they forget that exhilaration when tormenting the weak? That’s why they couldn’t quit, and it was most thrilling when they moved stealthily to toy with those guys.

To do so again this time, Tsuraku’s group looked at the foolish three coming out of the Hunter Association building and chatted through ultrasonic waves while giggling.

-Looks like they’re being reckless?

-Even so, humans are laughable.

-They’re leaving the Safe Zone. Let’s follow.

-Good, kekeke!

Seeing all three, including Dohyun, leave the Safe Zone, they followed them with satisfaction.

And not long after entering a wide wasteland-like field, since there was still no sign of creatures called monsters, the three fell into contemplation.

-Hmm, there are no beasts.

-For those humans to encounter beasts, they’d have to go forward for a while?

-Should we just attack first?

Their method was to target hunters who were tired from hunting monsters, but this time, weren’t these newly arrived hunters?

Their skills would still be lacking, and they should be manageable even when not tired. When Ikshi said this, the other two also giggled as if they agreed.

-Anyway, they just arrived.

-It shouldn’t matter.

-Kekeke, then I’ll take that woman. I like it because her screams will probably be shrill when I tear her apart.

-Kukuku, what bad taste. Then I’ll take that handsome human male. I’m looking forward to when that confident expression crumbles.

-Hmm, then should I take the remaining guy? That guy seems somehow ominous.

When Tsuraku said this with some reluctance, someone else suddenly asked.

-Me? Ominous? Why?

-Why, you ask? That guy was the first to spot us too… Wait. Who are you?

They were clearly having a conversation through ultrasonic waves, but suddenly someone’s ultrasonic waves interrupted. Since it was an ultrasonic wave pattern they’d never heard before, all three were startled and looked bewildered.

And when the three quickly turned their heads, not only had the three who were walking separately disappeared and appeared in front of them, but Jiyuchan had drawn his sword and imbued it with mana, while Hanalin was using magic from far behind.

Finally, Dohyun stood in front of the last Tsuraku with a grin and spoke to the three through ultrasonic waves.

-But this is the right way to use ultrasonic waves, right? It’s my first time, so I’m not sure?

Seeing Dohyun emit ultrasonic waves with an overly natural frequency despite saying it was his first time, the bat-human hybrids finally realized this situation was a trap.

He couldn’t understand how she could possibly use ultrasonic waves, but now wasn’t the time to think about such things.

They had to dodge. And when they realized that, it was already too late. Immediately after, Hanalin’s intermediate magic came pouring down on them.

Whoooooosh———
