Episode 4

Chapter 4: You Can See This Too? (3)

Hunters in a world without systems had quite a hard time.

This was especially true for Earth’s hunters who had to compete with various alien races from other dimensions that entered the Black Gates.

Nothing could be obtained easily.

While other alien races had history and tradition, knowing basic techniques without having to purchase manuals with points, Earth’s hunters had to spend points one by one to buy them.

Even purchasing them didn’t mean getting them immediately.

They were products of effort that could only be obtained by reading manuals, interpreting them, and somehow striving to master them.

That was certainly the case.

At least until Hwang Hana saw Dohyun before her eyes.

Whoosh—

“…Why are you doing that?”

“…”

Seeing the fire made of mana blazing brightly above Dohyun’s hand, Hwang Hana stared at it blankly for a moment.

She wasn’t just staring blankly out of surprise.

She was carefully observing the fire burning above Dohyun’s hand.

The result.

‘It’s, it’s real.’

Fire, the basic magic that manipulates flames.

It was basic magic that summoned flames to attack with effects as intuitive as its straightforward name.

Magic tended to be more difficult than basic techniques.

There was a reason why opinions emerged about distinguishing between hunters and mages.

But even if someone had an aptitude for magic, basic magic usually took several days to learn, yet he succeeded on his first day of admission?

And he said it just worked after looking at the book?

‘That can’t be possible…’

Hwang Hana denied Dohyun’s words in her head, but what could she do if she didn’t believe it?

Wasn’t she on her way here after seeing documents stating his abilities were minimal? That meant he really learned basic magic from reading a book.

What should she call this?

Hwang Hana had also lived hearing she was a genius wherever she went, but what Dohyun was showing now surpassed even that.

When Hwang Hana looked at Dohyun as if she couldn’t believe it, he scratched his head and blinked his eyes.

“Ah. Am I not supposed to use it freely? You said I could use everything, so I used it…”

Seeing Dohyun speak like that, worried he might receive some reprimand, Hwang Hana came to her senses and shook her head.

“No, no. You can use it. …But did you really learn that just by reading the book?”

You can learn just by reading a book.

Isn’t that what manuals are for?

But the time was the problem.

Hwang Hana had been away for barely even 10 minutes, and he read and mastered a basic magic manual? If that’s true…

‘I need to contact Taebaek.’

An instructor contacting their guild in advance to poach promising candidates was exactly the kind of behavior that deserved criticism.

Such instructors even received considerable disciplinary action, but if this was true, Dohyun was a talent worth bringing over even with that risk.

Usually, other guilds supported instructors for this very reason.

But then.

“Ah, then can I try other things too?”

“…Other things?”

“Yes. I read about three things.”

“…?”

What is he talking about now?

When Hwang Hana looked at Dohyun as if she couldn’t understand, Dohyun thought permission was granted and extinguished the flame floating above his hand, then went to get a dagger from among the weapons hanging on one side.

Even up to this point, it was incomprehensible.

Why was someone who had just been using magic taking out a dagger?

Among hunters, there was no one proficient in both magic and techniques, at least not in Korea.

That had become common sense embedded in Hwang Hana’s mind, but Dohyun shattered that common sense to pieces.

As soon as Dohyun gripped the dagger, the atmosphere changed considerably.

Swish—

Mana even subtly imbued the dagger Dohyun held.

And as soon as she saw that, Hwang Hana’s eyes widened as if they would tear.

It was dagger technique, one of the basic skills.

Moreover, judging by the mana subtly circulating around Dohyun’s body, that was also mana manipulation, another basic technique.

Hoping it couldn’t be true, she watched as Dohyun moved his feet nimbly, rushed toward the scarecrow, thrust the dagger held in reverse grip, and swung it while passing by in a grazing motion.

A stealthy, swift strike.

Moreover, his body movements themselves surpassed those of ordinary people.

Seeing this, Hwang Hana couldn’t help but shout.

“Re, really dagger technique?! And even mana manipulation too!?”

Just moments ago, seeing the magic, she had definitely thought he was magic-oriented, but he had also learned dagger technique and mana manipulation. At this unbelievable sight, Hwang Hana trembled as if struck by lightning.

Could this be possible?

Everyone called Hwang Hana a genius for learning basic manuals in just two days.

Then what should they call Dohyun, who read manuals and learned two basic techniques and one basic magic in less than 10 minutes?

“Mon… ster.”

His initial ability to withstand her mana pressure and mimic it wasn’t a mistake or coincidence.

It was all something Dohyun had accomplished himself.

From Hwang Hana’s perspective, who lacked analysis and a system, that was indeed the correct answer.

Even if there were skills in the status window that Dohyun could see, those who had just awakened would inevitably need quite some time to master them in their bodies, but this didn’t apply to Dohyun, who received information directly into his head the moment he analyzed something.

That’s why Dohyun couldn’t understand Hwang Hana’s feelings.

Since Dohyun really could just see it naturally, he couldn’t possibly feel the sense of deprivation that others experienced.

Moreover, Dohyun was feeling somewhat disappointed.

He had learned basic skill dagger techniques, mana manipulation, and basic magic Fire to permanently gain +2 mana, but there was a separate reason for his disappointment.

‘Who would have thought there’d be limits. How disappointing, so disappointing.’

It was a thought that would have made Hwang Hana foam at the mouth and faint if she had heard it, but fortunately it was only a thought.

In any case, Hwang Hana looked at Dohyun with a dazed expression, then came to her senses and spoke while gulping down saliva.

“F-for now, rest up. Other trainees will be entering soon.”

“Yes, understood.”

Since he had tried all the tests anyway.

Since there was no particular need for Dohyun to stay longer, he answered appropriately, and Hwang Hana hurriedly headed to the instructor building while looking at him.

As Hwang Hana returned with the determination to inform Taebaek Guild of this fact as quickly as possible, the memory of Jiyuchan, who had briefly stirred up the Hunter Association, had already completely vanished from her mind.

Since Hwang Hana had said as much, Dohyun also obediently returned to his dormitory.

Though he couldn’t understand her reaction, he could roughly guess the reason.

‘I guess analysis makes me pretty fast.’

Chuckling and wondering if he was being treated as a promising prospect, he rested in his assigned dormitory with an inexplicably good mood.

He had no idea that normally it took several days to learn just one thing at most.

How long had he been resting like that?

The sound of someone knocking on Dohyun’s door could be heard.

Knock knock—

“Mr. Dohyun, new trainees have arrived.”

New APs, no, trainees have come – this is something I can’t miss.

“I’ll come out right now!”

Dohyun excitedly went outside like that.

With an expectant expression wondering what kind of new students would be waiting.

* * *

Cases of awakening were extremely rare.

Considering that in Seoul, which had the largest population, fewer than 5 people awakened in a month, the ratio was really low.

With barely 50 people a year, it was definitely scarce.

Even combining all the awakened nationwide, there weren’t even 100 people per year.

The Seoul Hunter Training Center didn’t have that many entrants either, but this month was different.

There were a total of 10 people.

The Hunter Training Center opened on the last day of each month, and on just the 30th day alone, as many as five people had awakened, so it could be called good news.

It was 10 people in total: 5 including Dohyun who registered for awakening today, plus 5 who had awakened within this month.

Unlike the five who had just awakened and entered today, the five who entered in the late evening had a somewhat different atmosphere.

Since they had been told from the moment they awakened that they would enter the Hunter Training Center, they were mentally prepared, so there were inevitably fewer complaints or grumbling.

Perhaps that’s why? They weren’t particularly nervous and were having lively conversations among the trainees in the shuttle bus.

“Phew. A month is a bit long, but let’s all work hard together.”

“Sounds good.”

“I heard that classmates often form parties together. Let’s do well going forward.”

“Hoho, Dongwook, it seems you want to party with us again?”

A harmonious atmosphere.

However, among them was someone quiet – a considerably tall and handsome young man.

The handsome young man who drew the attention of the two women in the shuttle bus was just looking out the car window as if bored.

Seeing him like that, one woman specifically asked.

“Yuchan, you don’t seem nervous at all?”

“Yes, well.”

He was none other than Jiyuchan, the person who had briefly stirred up the Hunter Association.

And Dongwook, the man who knew this fact, nodded and muttered that it made sense.

“Well, Yuchan caused a commotion at the Hunter Association from the moment he registered.”

“Huh? Really?”

“Yeah, I heard there was a fuss about a new prodigy appearing?”

“Oh my? Really?”

“Hahaha! I heard that five people awakened just today. Usually hunters form parties of five, so if we team up with them versus the other side, we’d definitely win! Since we have Yuchan!”

“Oh my? That’s right.”

“I also heard this batch has many people. It would be fun to compete.”

When Dongwook, who seemed somewhat older, laughed heartily like that, everyone laughed along.

Except for Jiyuchan.

As Jiyuchan remained quiet as if finding it boring, they soon saw the bus arriving at the training center and got off the bus, each carrying their luggage while blooming with laughter.

Thus, when they arrived at the entrance of the Hunter Training Center building, they showed similar reactions upon seeing the five existing trainees and instructor Hwang Hana.

It was a natural reaction when seeing Hwang Hana for the first time.

And Hwang Hana spoke to them while looking at them, just like she had with the existing trainees.

“Nice to meet you all, trainees. I’ll work you harshly for a month.”

At the same time, the mana pressure emanating from Hwang Hana pressed down on all of them as if it were an initiation, and most of the trainees showed the same reaction.

A suffocating feeling and pressure as if someone was strangling their necks!

“Kugh!”

“Urgh!”

“Gah!”

“Kyaah!”

“…Kuk.”

Even Jiyuchan couldn’t escape the pressure and frowned deeply.

Of course, he was in the best condition compared to the other trainees.

He only frowned, not suffering as much pain.

However, at that moment, Jiyuchan could see it.

He felt something strange in the indifference that flashed through Hwang Hana’s eyes.

‘What is this?’

Jiyuchan, who had heard he was talented enough to cause a commotion at the Hunter Association, couldn’t help but be bewildered by that sight.

But then he noticed someone showing interest in him.

However, the only instructor here was Hwang Hana.

In other words.

‘A trainee?’

That trainee was clearly saying something while looking at Jiyuchan.

‘S… what is he saying?’

He couldn’t understand it, but one of them was definitely looking at him with gleaming eyes.

While saying something about S.

Not knowing that Jiyuchan had read his lips, Dohyun thought excitedly.

‘S-rank!’
