Episode 46
46: The Pride of the Craftsman Race (1)
Dawn broke over the second day in the E-rank Zone.
Surprisingly, Dohyun was the first among the Dohyun Party to wake.
Unlike his usual refreshed awakenings, his body felt somewhat stiff, but that quickly faded as he stretched—his recovery was truly remarkable.
“Phew.”
After a light stretch and quick warm-up, Dohyun descended from his bed and glanced around, but it seemed the others hadn’t risen yet in this early morning hour.
As he prepared some of the simple provisions available for a light meal, others gradually began to wake.
The first to encounter Dohyun was Jiyuchan.
With his exceptional physical prowess, Jiyuchan wore a similarly refreshed expression, though traces of yesterday’s exertion still lingered—he hadn’t fully recovered from fatigue.
Upon waking, Jiyuchan came to the common living room and, seeing the fruit Dohyun was eating, asked.
“Is that good?”
“Yeah, it’s edible.”
At Dohyun’s words, Jiyuchan immediately took the fruit and bit into it.
Crunch.
It was a fruit that didn’t exist on Earth, and a peculiar flavor spread across his palate.
He’d expected the fresh sweetness of fruit, but instead the texture was fruity while the taste resembled bread.
Though the unfamiliar combination felt discordant, the flavor itself wasn’t unpleasant—it was indeed edible, just as Dohyun had said.
“Interesting.”
“The taste itself is decent, right?”
“Seems like it.”
As Jiyuchan spoke and began sampling other provisions, other Korean Hunter Association Hunters gradually emerged.
They seemed slightly surprised to see the two eating breakfast so early, but recalling yesterday’s events, they didn’t find it strange.
“You both woke quite early.”
“After yesterday’s battle, that’s impressive.”
“Ha, after seeing yesterday, I knew it. That party will climb ranks quickly.”
“I heard you arrived yesterday, and you certainly are remarkable.”
Though surrounded by praise, Dohyun paid it little mind—it was familiar territory from the Training Facility—and Jiyuchan likewise wouldn’t be swayed by such compliments.
Praise or not, simply keeping up with Dohyun was already overwhelming.
Unaware of Jiyuchan’s thoughts, Dohyun sat quietly before suddenly recalling yesterday’s necklace and glancing at Jiyuchan.
He should discuss it once Hanalin arrived.
“You interested in this?”
“What? Oh, that necklace?”
At Dohyun’s casual question, Jiyuchan shook his head without hesitation.
Dohyun wondered if he was simply being magnanimous, but Jiyuchan’s eyes held genuine absence of greed or desire. Thinking perhaps he might actually want it, Jiyuchan spoke.
“If you hadn’t given orders, we’d have been wiped out anyway. I don’t mind if you take it. Decide after hearing what Hanalin has to say.”
“Okay.”
At Jiyuchan’s cool response—as refreshing as a cold breeze—Dohyun readily nodded.
Since he wasn’t the type to be petty about such things, Dohyun quickly accepted and stored the necklace away again.
Anyway.
As the item materialized, Dohyun felt a twinge of inconvenience and pondered internally.
‘Is there anything like a pocket dimension?’
I knew the concept existed.
I’d heard there were pocket dimension pouches, commonly called magic pouches, but I vaguely recalled the smallest one cost 500,000 points, which made me shake my head in regret.
If someone possessed a pocket dimension skill, I could analyze and acquire it, but I’d never heard of anyone like that, which was disappointing.
The lack of a pocket dimension certainly caused considerable inconvenience.
But saving points to buy one later seemed wasteful when the smallest cost 500,000 points—I’d probably die of regret.
‘Is there no villain carrying a pocket dimension pouch?’
Unfortunately, none of the villains I’d killed so far had carried a pocket dimension pouch.
There was no fool in the F-rank Zone or E-rank Zone carrying something like that.
Carrying it around would be like announcing, “Look, I’m a golden goblin! Please catch me!” to everyone.
While Dohyun was repeatedly wrestling with his guilty conscience, several more Hunters emerged, including Hanalin among them.
She brought some light snacks and sat down where Dohyun and Jiyuchan were. Jiyuchan spoke to Hanalin before Dohyun could.
“Someone was asking about disposing of the necklace you obtained yesterday.”
“Huh? Wasn’t that something Dohyun oppa was supposed to take?”
“Eh?”
At Hanalin’s sudden declaration that the item belonged to Dohyun, he tilted his head in confusion.
Then Hanalin, not understanding his reaction, spoke to him instead.
“Only one item dropped, and while it hasn’t been appraised yet, even if it were, it should rightfully be yours, oppa. If you hadn’t given the order yesterday, we wouldn’t have caught it in the first place. Besides, both I and Yuchan oppa earned over 20,000 points yesterday, so if I couldn’t give up the necklace, that would be shameless.”
Her rapid-fire words were all perfectly reasonable. Dohyun thought he’d been overthinking it and smoothly put on the necklace.
Normally, even if someone wore it, they wouldn’t understand its effects, but this was Dohyun. So as he put it on, Hanalin watched with curious eyes while eating fruit, and Jiyuchan also looked quite interested.
Dohyun, seeing their reactions, didn’t rely on the Analysis results but instead manipulated his mana to directly sense the rough effects.
He could certainly feel his senses had developed considerably compared to before, and numerically speaking, it felt like his senses had improved by roughly 30% since putting on the necklace.
Just as he was about to say it was better than expected, a strange intuition made him turn his head, and he saw a Hunter nearly trip over something.
It was an ordinary scene, but it was as if he’d turned his head half-predicting that the person behind would fall before something caught their foot.
Amazement escaped from Dohyun’s lips.
“Huh?”
It could have been coincidence, but Dohyun had clearly sensed it before the person’s foot caught—that something would happen behind him.
Turning his head on that instinct, seeing the Hunter immediately trip and fall was, in other words, no different from awakening extraordinary intuition.
If he could refine this ability further, wouldn’t he reach a level where he could evade all attacks through instinct alone?
Like that foreign hero, the spider man.
“Why? What kind of effect does it seem to have?”
“What kind of item is it?”
Hanalin and Jiyuchan, judging that Dohyun had sensed something, asked him. Dohyun looked down at the necklace, feeling its effects were better than expected, and opened his mouth.
“It enhances all senses except sight. Including intuition.”
“Wow, that makes sense for that dungeon.”
“It’s a bit unfortunate that it excludes vision, but judging by your reaction, that doesn’t seem to be the case.”
“Yeah. I just sensed that person was about to trip and turned my head on instinct.”
“Wow, that’s really….”
“Impressive.”
Hanalin and Jiyuchan exclaimed in unison.
Dohyun now glanced at his party members, wondering if they might feel a twinge of greed, but there wasn’t even a hint of such sentiment.
That wasn’t a typical reaction. As Dohyun observed them with curiosity, Hanalin turned to him and spoke.
“If you can figure out the effects just by equipping it, Dohyun, then we won’t really need an appraiser in the future, will we? Can you do something like appraisal even before equipping it?”
Hanalin seemed more envious of Dohyun’s discernment ability than the item itself, so she asked about it.
Dohyun paused at the question before nodding.
Through Analysis, I could tell immediately upon seeing it, but there were other methods as well.
“If I infuse mana into an item with the sensation of mana being equipped, there are mana flows that change. By analyzing those, I can easily deduce the effects.”
“Oh?”
“Hmm, then later, if there are items that suit us, could you pick them out for us?”
At Jiyuchan’s words, Dohyun chuckled and nodded.
It was only natural since they were traveling together as a party.
Once Dohyun agreed, Hanalin manipulated mana this way and that, imagining what kind of sensation Dohyun had described, as if unconcerned about items she might obtain later.
‘Both of them are quite peculiar, I must say.’
Dohyun thought of something he’d be criticized for if they heard it, then began to gather his party members who had finished breakfast to head out hunting.
Since yesterday, he had received permission directly from Park Insu himself to hunt without Park Insu’s party, so he intended to use that freedom.
But just as he was about to stand up.
Park Insu, who had gone out briefly after waking this morning, entered the dormitory with a somewhat urgent expression and glanced around.
Wondering what was wrong, when Dohyun’s party noticed Park Insu, their eyes met. With an expression of relief, Park Insu approached them.
“Phew, thank goodness.”
“…?”
“What’s the matter?”
“Hmm.”
At Park Insu’s words, Hanalin asked, while Dohyun and Jiyuchan waited quietly for Park Insu to continue.
Then.
“The Elves are in an uproar right now.”
“Huh?”
“Two parties were completely wiped out yesterday, but the Elves are in an uproar?”
“Hmm, I hadn’t heard that the Elves were moving because their kin were killed. They’re not the type of Heterogeneous Beings who typically seek revenge for fallen kinfolk.”
Just as Hanalin and Jiyuchan said, the Elves weren’t the type to seek vengeance when their kin died. Yet they were in an uproar.
With this strange thought, the three of them looked at Park Insu, who continued speaking.
“Apparently, they’re interrogating everyone entering Parvie Island as if conducting inspections. It seems they’re searching for something, and they’re being particularly strict in their questioning of Spirit Mages.”
“Ah.”
“….”
“….”
At the mention of Spirit Mages, Hanalin and Jiyuchan simultaneously looked at Dohyun.
It was a natural reaction since Dohyun was the one who had captured Jerpael with a spirit yesterday, but startled by their gaze, Dohyun instinctively waved his hands and protested.
“It’s not me!”
“…Isn’t it?”
“There’s no one else but you.”
“Ah, is that so?”
The moment all eyes turned toward me, I initially denied it, but soon I found myself scratching my head sheepishly.
Watching the three of us display such a sitcom-like scene, Park Insu spoke with caution.
“That’s why I recommend visiting a different public island instead of Parvie Island, where you went yesterday. I’ve heard that Elves do travel to other islands as well, but not nearly as many as on Parvie Island. After all, the Elf population isn’t that large to begin with.”
“Thank you.”
“We’ll need to scout out other islands.”
“Hmm, there are plenty of islands good for hunting, so it shouldn’t matter.”
Watching all three of them converse so naturally, Park Insu thought they were truly remarkable, and busied himself with the task of silencing the other Hunters.
I glanced around this place and that, as if it didn’t matter much, before pointing to one location.
“What about here?”
