Episode 35

Chapter 35: Shadow King’s Swiftness (1)

Dohyun’s party, who had come out after being promoted in the Black Gate, were all aware that there had been quite a commotion at the Hunter Association.

However, it was a slightly different kind of commotion than they had expected.

People with fairly high positions were being called in and entering the Seoul Branch Building, and they could even see a scene where two panicked employees seemed to be getting scolded.

‘What’s going on?’

At first, they thought the commotion was because they had returned with a promotion in less than half a day after entering, but it didn’t seem to be for that reason. Yet it seemed like it wasn’t entirely unrelated either.

Dohyun was looking at Han Muyeol, who was clearly displaying his intimidating muscles and build in front of him and his party members, while Han Muyeol looked at the party members with an expression of disbelief.

After staring at them for quite a while, he let out what sounded like a sigh as he spoke.

“I said we’d meet again, but I didn’t expect it to be this soon.”

“That’s true.”

Though Dohyun’s words were somewhat blunt, Han Muyeol chuckled since it didn’t seem like he had any particular complaints against him.

Anyway, after reading the documents compiled along with Dohyun’s party’s report, he looked at them and asked again.

“…So you’re saying that after hunting once, you caught some villains, which fulfilled the promotion conditions and got you promoted?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“…”

“…”

Due to Association President Han Muyeol’s intimidating presence, Dohyun answered instead of Hanalin and Jiyuchan.

Han Muyeol looked at Dohyun and shook his head as if he was amazed.

He had thought they were an interesting party, but to accomplish something this exceptional. The intimidating aura emanating from Han Muyeol softened and weakened somewhat, but even so, Hanalin and Jiyuchan couldn’t help but feel tense.

In fact, both of them were more affected because they were sensitive to mana.

In contrast, seeing that Dohyun still seemed completely unfazed, Han Muyeol shook his head briefly before speaking.

“I understand. You’ve already returned the points to the stone tablet, right?”

“Yes, we did it as soon as we came out.”

“Good, you’ve done well.”

At Han Muyeol’s words, Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan bowed silently, then got up from their seats and left.

After Dohyun’s party returned home like that, Han Muyeol remained sitting in the same spot where he had talked with them, reading their report.

The report showed the process of their promotion and how many points they had recorded on the stone tablet, and seeing the ridiculous total points from all three of them combined, Han Muyeol laughed in disbelief.

‘Getting promoted on the first day is already amazing enough.’

The points paid on the first day were a whopping 2,165 points.

Since the Hunter Association’s collection rate was set at 10%, this meant that the three of them had earned a total of 21,650 points in one day—or more precisely, in less than half a day.

Han Muyeol was a veteran hunter who had been active for 15 years.

However, in those 15 years, he had never seen a party that earned this many points and got promoted on their first day.

Recalling this information, Han Muyeol wiped the smile from his face and stared intently at the report again.

It seemed they weren’t just an interesting party after all.

He had expected them to make South Korea buzz with excitement, but this was beyond that.

‘I’ll need to keep this information hidden for the time being.’

If such records were revealed, there was a very high probability that other countries would start scheming.

Within the Hunter Association, there were quite a few people that Han Muyeol knew had connections to other countries.

The reason he left them alone despite knowing about them was that even if he got rid of them, new ones would appear, so it was better to know who they were.

Anyway, if this news reached their ears, other countries would naturally try to reach out to those three.

It would be fortunate if they offered immigration proposals.

But among the various countries, not all of them approached so gently.

The fortunate thing was.

‘Thanks to the employee who was on duty for the first time today, it’ll be very easy to hide the information.’

Because they didn’t write down what the emergency was about in the emergency call, the call went out to all personnel in the Association.

It was extremely fortunate that Han Muyeol was the first to respond and find out what was happening.

Coming first and silencing Kim Junhee was a stroke of genius.

If this had reached someone else’s ears, what would have happened?

Han Muyeol had such thoughts while wondering how Dohyun’s party would progress.

Since this was the first time he encountered a party he couldn’t even predict, Han Muyeol began handling the matter carefully.

Thinking that he would have to handle their affairs personally, no matter how much he trusted his subordinates, he headed to the Association President’s office to process the paperwork.

He never thought he’d be working until this hour at his age, but it couldn’t be helped.

‘I was thinking about retiring soon.’

Somehow, he felt that for a while, far from retiring, even resting wouldn’t be easy.

* * *

Dohyun, who had slept soundly and woken up refreshed, got up from his spot as if awakening his refreshed body with a stretch.

Although the report yesterday had taken longer than expected and he had returned in the early morning hours, he was still able to wake up very refreshed—whether it was because sleeping at home helped relieve fatigue better, or because of his physical strength that was now beginning to transcend human levels.

Actually, since awakening, his body had always been this refreshed, so he didn’t feel much difference. As soon as he woke up and opened his phone, he saw several messages.

[Hanalin: So we’re entering tomorrow, right?]

[Jiyuchan: That’s what the boss said, so I guess so.]

[Jiyuchan: By the way, it seems like the boss hasn’t woken up yet.]

[Jiyuchan: [@Dohyun] Let us know if there are any changes.]

[Hanalin: (Rabbit emoticon giving an OK sign)]

He saw various messages in the group chat they had created yesterday after coming out.

Dohyun chuckled at this and left a message.

[Yeah, see you tomorrow.]

[Hanalin: It is tomorrow then. Well, rest up and see you tomorrow. (Rabbit emoticon waving)]

[Jiyuchan: OK]

Looking at those messages, Dohyun couldn’t help but chuckle.

Unlike her image, Hanalin often sent cute emoticons, while Jiyuchan sent messages coolly, just as he looked.

As mentioned in the messages, they decided to go to the E-rank Zone tomorrow.

Rather than deciding that way because rest was essential, it was because he had things to do.

Both points and AP had accumulated considerably, so naturally there were things to do.

‘I need to go to the Hunter Training Center and get Shadow King’s Swiftness.’

Since he was part of this batch anyway and had already received permission to visit occasionally, there was no problem going there.

That’s why he planned to visit today and obtain Shadow King’s Swiftness.

He thought about contacting them in advance, but thinking it probably wouldn’t matter, Dohyun checked his other notifications.

He was the type to clear all notifications on his phone first before looking. When Dohyun looked at the other notifications, there was an unexpected one.

It was none other than a bank app notification, and something seemed strange about it.

『Hunter Association 9,350,000 won deposited.

Balance: 15,345,230 won』

“Huh!?”

Seeing the amount suddenly deposited by the Hunter Association, he gulped in surprise.

Though he was initially startled, he then realized it was point settlement and looked at the balance with a dazed expression.

It was surprising to have gained ten million won overnight.

The points that must be paid to the Hunter Association are 10%. Rather than just paying these points as a fee to the stone tablet, they return the paid points as cash, and he recalled information that 1 point was valued at 10,000 won.

Though he had learned this at the training center, seeing money actually deposited like this still felt surreal.

‘We really did earn a lot.’

Usually, hunting in the F-rank Zone for a whole week would earn about 1,000 points, so the points paid would be 100 points – in other words, an F-rank Hunter typically earns about 1 million won per week.

But Dohyun had earned roughly 10 times that in just one day.

‘This is why everyone goes “Hunter, Hunter.”‘

Just working hard as an F-rank earns at least 4 million won per month.

Well, that’s only possible if you enter the Black Gate every week, but it meant that even F-rank Hunters, the lowest grade, earn this much.

He wondered if there was any job more efficient than this.

For some reason, when Dohyun looked at it in terms of money like this, he couldn’t help but hesitate a bit thinking about what he discovered yesterday.

None other than.

‘Sigh.’

8,000P converted to money would be a whopping 80 million won. Thinking about that made his hands tremble. Nearly 100 million won. However, since he was short on AP right now, he had to convert points to AP generously.

Though he thought it was a waste, Dohyun squeezed his eyes shut as if he had no choice.

And.

“Ugh.”

It felt like precious money was disappearing, but he had no choice.

To learn Shadow King’s Swiftness, he needed to invest 2,000 AP, plus 3,000 AP to view Han Muyeol’s status window later – that alone was 5,000 AP. And to obtain even one of Han Muyeol’s skills, he needed at least 3,000-4,000 AP remaining, so he had no choice but to convert all his points to AP.

Though his stomach churned thinking that about 100 million won had disappeared, Dohyun held back his churning stomach, thinking it was a necessary investment.

He could earn points again.

Dohyun consoled himself with that thought and prepared to go out.

Still, didn’t he gain 10 million won in cash?

With this much, couldn’t he afford to be a little extravagant?

『Student loan 15,000,000 won withdrawn.

Remaining balance: 345,230 won』

“Ah…”

Not a chance. Because he had previously set it up so that when he earned money, it would all go to paying off his student loan balance, all the money had been withdrawn.

The only consolation was that he no longer had student loans?

Seeing this, Dohyun trembled with the feeling of shedding tears of blood.

So points were this valuable.

Dohyun slightly understood the villains’ mindset, but consoled himself that at least he had paid off all his loans and went outside.

Since he had already spent it, it was to obtain Shadow King’s Swiftness.

While thinking about entering the Black Gate tomorrow, he muttered to himself.

‘Ah, I hope there are villains targeting us tomorrow too.’

It was somewhat sinister content.

* * *

Should we say that the Hunter Training Center became quite harsh after Dohyun and Jiyuchan left?

More precisely, progress wasn’t advancing as easily as before.

Classes that had been conducted by teams were now combined again, and everyone was taking classes together harmoniously.

Still, the presence of those two remained, so the remaining 8 people were also showing quite excellent aspects compared to other typical batches.

The instructors were quite pleased to see that even though they had early graduation, the influence of those two was still being exerted.

Just then, seeing a taxi that arrived at the training center, Instructor Hwang Hana looked puzzled, and her eyes widened when she saw the person getting out.

“Oh, Instructor Hwang Hana?”

“…Trainee Dohyun?”

And as soon as he saw Hwang Hana, Dohyun smiled brightly, and a message appeared before his eyes.
