Chapter 57

 

Chapter 57: Dohyun VS Hanalin, Jiyuchan (1)

 

The Hunter Association occupied quite a large area, and one of the reasons for this was the massive gymnasium building.

 

The fact that they could construct such a building on this expensive Seoul land was itself a subtle display of the immense power and influence the Hunter Association possessed.

 

When it was first being built, there was quite a lot of opposition to that gymnasium building.

 

However, thanks to Han Muyeol, who scolded them asking what they would do if there were casualties inside the Black Gates because there was no proper place in reality for Hunters going in and out of Black Gates to train, it was built without much trouble.

 

In fact, all Hunters affiliated with the Hunter Association could use this facility, and the facilities were better than expected.

 

This was the only place that could compare to the facilities of the Four Great Guilds, which could be called South Korea’s finest.

 

Since joining the Hunter Association came with such benefits, quite a few people joined the Association after seeing these things.

 

And Lee Heejai was also one of the Hunters affiliated with the Association.

 

‘Let’s go hard today too.’

 

It had been two months since he graduated from the Training Facility, but Lee Heejai was already an E-rank Hunter.

 

He had talent matching that speed, but he was also diligent, so on days when he didn’t enter Black Gates, he would come to the gymnasium like this to train.

 

Originally, he wasn’t the type of person to work this hard.

 

He wasn’t particularly diligent when he first awakened and entered the Training Facility.

 

Rather, he was just one of the ordinary people.

 

However, he completely changed after entering the Training Facility.

 

Though he had awakened as a Hunter, he had been half-hearted about it, thinking that even if he tried hard, there would be limits anyway, but after learning magic for the first time, Lee Heejai saw a genius for the first time in his life at that place.

 

It was Hanalin.

 

She was a genius among geniuses who used magic freely, praised by the magic instructor, and at that moment showed control even superior to the magic instructor’s – after seeing the genius Hanalin, Lee Heejai found himself captivated without realizing it.

 

That sight of her moving mana with graceful gestures and making mana flowers bloom around her was enough to transform Lee Heejai.

 

‘It would be hard to become like Nalin, but I’ll also work hard and climb higher.’

 

So that if he ever met Hanalin someday, he could be proud rather than regretful, he resolved to do his best without missing a single moment.

 

In reality, Lee Heejai was quite talented.

 

He wanted to enter a Black Gate right away today and experience real combat, but it was postponed because the party members assigned to Lee Heejai had commitments for a while.

 

He had heard that parties sometimes disbanded in such cases, but since they were usually diligent people, he wasn’t too worried.

 

Since he had already learned all the training methods at the Training Facility, he didn’t have difficulty training.

 

Lee Heejai was thus entering the gymnasium and training while using various equipment. Especially since Lee Heejai was a swordsman, he was organizing his training to increase his strength and flexibility.

 

Just then, Lee Heejai could see a woman with a somehow familiar atmosphere entering.

 

The equipment training area and the sparring hall where duels could be held were attached together, and the woman headed to the sparring hall, apparently wanting to spar rather than do equipment training.

 

Sometimes people would talk to each other in the sparring hall and spar on first meeting, and sometimes they would meet companions and spar, but that woman seemed to be waiting for someone, as if her companions hadn’t arrived yet.

 

Looking at such a woman, Lee Heejai tilted his head.

 

‘What? Why does she seem familiar?’

 

It was definitely a face he was seeing for the first time, yet he strangely felt like he had seen her before.

 

Even while feeling déjà vu, Lee Heejai shook his head and tried to focus on his training again.

 

He continued training while using equipment, putting load on his muscles to build more muscle.

 

Normally, once Lee Heejai focused like this, he would train frantically, but today he couldn’t concentrate for some reason, so he put down the equipment, wiped his sweat, and took a sip of water.

 

As he turned his gaze to the woman who had been bothering him for some reason, there was a man who seemed to be her companion near her, though he didn’t know when he had arrived.

 

They seemed to be talking about something, then another man came and talked about something else, when the woman and the man who had come first began rushing at the Late Arrival Man with murderous intent.

 

The man who came first used a real sword and the woman used magic with full power.

 

Seeing this, Lee Heejai blinked and muttered.

 

“Is, is that sparring?”

 

And seeing the magic the woman was using, he blinked widely, and seeing something familiar, he muttered without realizing it.

 

“Hana… lin?”

 

* * *

 

As Lee Heejai had noticed, that woman was Hanalin.

 

Going back in time a little, before Lee Heejai noticed Hanalin, precisely before Jiyuchan arrived.

 

Hanalin didn’t look very happy, and in fact she was quite displeased.

 

“Huuuu.”

 

She was even sighing deeply and unconsciously biting her lip slightly.

 

Since she was using transformation magic, her alluring appearance wasn’t revealed, but that wasn’t what was important to Hanalin right now.

 

After sending the message, Hanalin was regretting it too much.

 

She had hoped to be helpful to Dohyun who had been helping her so much, but what was this.

 

‘In the end, I ended up asking for help again…’

 

But there was nowhere else to rely on besides that.

 

If it wasn’t Dohyun, she would have to pay 3 million points to get it interpreted. She had tried to interpret the textbook herself out of stubbornness, but unlike other textbooks, even the title was hard to interpret.

 

So Dohyun was no different from a benefactor just for finding the textbook, but she felt like she would die of embarrassment asking such a benefactor for another favor.

 

As she was irritably kicking the innocent floor of the sparring hall with her foot, not long after, Jiyuchan arrived and recognized Hanalin first.

 

“Hah, you’re here.”

 

“Huuuu, you came?”

 

And it seemed Jiyuchan felt the same way.

 

He had also requested help from Dohyun, but his expression didn’t look very good either.

 

Sure enough, Jiyuchan also said while looking at Hanalin.

 

“Huuuu, I feel like I’ll die of embarrassment toward Dohyun.”

 

“…Me too.”

 

“Just finding the book was grateful enough, but asking him to explain it again…”

 

“…It’s also too embarrassing that we’re asking for help to catch up to Dohyun.”

 

“Right.”

 

For once, or rather more than expected, the two were quite compatible, but it was rare for them to get along this well like today.

 

While those two were lamenting, Dohyun arrived.

 

Unlike the two who were dejected, Dohyun looked quite bright, and seeing them, he tilted his head and asked them.

 

“What’s wrong? Did something happen to both of you?”

 

Just yesterday they had enjoyed pork belly and had a company dinner, so why was the atmosphere so gloomy? When Dohyun asked, Jiyuchan and Hanalin couldn’t even answer like they were mute.

 

Dohyun looked at the two of them strangely, scratching his head, but soon couldn’t hold back and both of them ended up speaking.

 

“We feel so sorry for asking you to tell us about it when Dohyun oppa even found the book for us.”

 

“You helped us so much, but asking for more help makes us feel ashamed.”

 

When both Hanalin and Jiyuchan said that, Dohyun chuckled with an expression like ‘what did I expect.’

 

“No, we’re the same party, so we help each other. When I need you guys, you’ll help me too, right?”

 

“Of course!”

 

“Naturally!”

 

Hearing both of them make bold promises, Dohyun grinned and definitely remembered it.

 

To use it conveniently later.

 

The two who said they would help anytime in Dohyun’s memory, in their guilt, failed to notice the current crisis and ended up making bold promises.

 

Anyway, Dohyun nodded as if he understood while looking at the two.

 

Since Dohyun also had something to test, he lightly warmed up and said to them.

 

“Then both of you spar with me with the intent to kill.”

 

“…?”

 

“??????”

 

When Hanalin and Jiyuchan looked at Dohyun wondering what he was talking about, Dohyun looked at them while lightly warming up and answered.

 

“I just acquired a skill and it’s related to regeneration, so I need to check how effective it is. But I can’t self-harm, right? So I’m asking you to help me get injured. Plus, it’s more effective in real combat, right? We both grow and it’s win-win, isn’t it?”

 

“Still….”

 

“With the intent to kill is….”

 

Still, they were party members, so doing it with the intent to kill seemed a bit much. When both seemed reluctant, Dohyun’s eyes turned cold as he looked at them.

 

And he said.

 

“Hmm, I know what you’re worried about. You’re thinking I might be in danger if you two come at me with killing intent, right? But I’m not sure if you two could inflict even one wound on me even if you gave it your all?”

 

At this powerful provocation, the atmosphere around Hanalin and Jiyuchan changed completely.

 

Both of them had originally challenged Dohyun to defeat him in the first place.

 

So Dohyun’s provocation that even if they both attacked together, they couldn’t inflict a single wound on him was definitely enough to get under their skin.

 

But since they still felt gratitude and guilt toward Dohyun, even though the atmosphere had cooled, both showed strong signs of hesitation.

 

Dohyun chuckled seeing that.

 

They really were kindhearted kids.

 

Thinking that, Dohyun changed his approach.

 

He should ask them as a favor rather than provoke them.

 

“I want to test it right away by entering the D-rank Zone, but D-rank is really dangerous, so I want to master it before going. Who else would I ask besides you two?”

 

When Dohyun went that far, Hanalin and Jiyuchan nodded with difficulty instead.

 

If he wanted it that much and it would help Dohyun, they raised their fighting spirit as if they would gladly do it.

 

When both of them emanated killing intent toward Dohyun, even Dohyun felt his spine slightly chill seeing it.

 

‘Oh, this is.’

 

When an aura spread around that even Dohyun couldn’t take lightly, everyone near the Sparring Hall had no choice but to turn their heads.

 

At that moment when attention was focused, Dohyun drew his longsword and dagger with a serious expression.

 

All real swords.

 

Shing—

 

Realizing Dohyun was serious, Jiyuchan and Hanalin also drew their real sword and staff, aiming at Dohyun.

 

And Dohyun, looking at those two, felt the Guardian’s Body activating.

 

It seemed like a passive skill, but how could there be passive skills in this place that wasn’t a game.

 

The Guardian’s Body was like an internal energy cultivation method in martial arts terms.

 

It was a skill that, when circulating through the body along designated mana circuits, raised the body’s regenerative power to an absurd level.

 

Dohyun felt the activated Guardian’s Body and looked at the two, saying.

 

“Come at me.”

 

Those words spat out with murderous intent were sharp enough that Jiyuchan and Hanalin momentarily felt threatened, and as soon as they received it, both tried to use the pressure called mana oppression to scatter Dohyun’s aura.

 

However, the pressure sent with even the Majesty of a Ruler added was overwhelming compared to the pressure those two simply projected, and began to constrict them.

 

Rumble——

 

With the illusion that gravity had become heavier, Jiyuchan and Hanalin could feel it in an instant.

 

They were getting the feeling that a giant monster was standing before them, like facing the Blind Guide.
