Episode 65
Chapter 65: The Power of New Skills (2)
The hunting continued smoothly after that.
Originally, when Ihae-in’s party encountered more than ten monsters, Jinhyeon Park would notice first and they would flee if the numbers were too great, but now there was no need for that.
At a T-shaped junction where there were more than ten Labyrinth Goblins on each side, Ihae-in’s party decided to push forward, with Dohyun’s party taking on ten monsters on one side and Ihae-in’s party handling the other side.
Naturally, they succeeded in hunting all of them, but the real problem was.
“…They were faster than us again.”
“Just what are those newcomers…”
“I don’t know. It’s scary.”
“I can only say they’re amazing. If they’re newcomers like that, they should have been famous even in E-rank. Have you heard of any recent parties?”
“…”
Meanwhile, as such conversations continued, Ihae-in became more convinced that Dohyun’s party were agents and was being somewhat cautious around them.
Even though Ihae-in’s party was far from doing anything wrong and was actually kind enough to other parties to even volunteer as guides, it’s human psychology to feel a bit nervous when police officers keep staying with you, even if you’ve done nothing wrong.
That’s why, although Ihae-in didn’t say it out loud, he had no choice but to acknowledge Dohyun’s party.
While Ihae-in remained quiet, the other party members didn’t notice this and were talking among themselves while looking at Dohyun’s party.
“I did hear there’s a rising rookie party in E-rank recently.”
When Park Honggu asked this question, Jinhyeon Park responded, and Yejin Han, the healer, nodded as if she had also heard the story.
“Right, that… I heard it was a party led by someone called Dohyun, and they wiped out an Elf party?”
“Oh, really? I heard they cleared a dungeon with just three people?”
At Yejin Han’s words, Jian Yun tilted her head as if finding it strange.
Wiping out an Elf party and clearing a dungeon with just three people? Even if only one of these was true, they would have to be an incredibly skilled party.
Then Ihae-in also seemed to remember something and spoke up.
“Hmm, I think I heard they were a grateful party that sold Dwarven weapons…”
With so many different stories, everyone looked at Dohyun’s party with puzzled expressions, but since they were using the fake name Minwoo instead of Dohyun, they couldn’t know that they were the same people as the Dohyun party they were discussing.
Anyway, while such a party did exist, there was clear evidence that they weren’t the same people.
“But I heard that party led by that Dohyun person just entered E-rank last week. There’s no way they could be the same people.”
“The names are different to begin with.”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm, well, if they just entered E-rank last week, how could they enter D-rank this time?”
“That doesn’t make sense.”
When even Ihae-in dismissed it as impossible, everyone stopped talking about Dohyun’s party.
Since they weren’t the same people anyway, what was the point of discussing it further?
They had simply confirmed the fact that a new rookie was incredibly strong.
Meanwhile, seeing Dohyun’s party discover and hunt yet another group of monsters, Jinhyeon Park clicked his tongue in disbelief.
“He detected them faster than me, that Minwoo person.”
“…Faster than Jinhyeon??”
“Jinhyeon, aren’t you one of the top detectors among D-ranks?”
“That’s right.”
Everyone looked at him incredulously at Jinhyeon Park’s words, and Ihae-in muttered unconsciously.
“With those people, it seems like they could manage on their own without us starting tomorrow.”
Normally they would have objected, but everyone could only nod in agreement without saying much.
The prowess shown by Hanalin and Jiyuchan was jaw-dropping, and Dohyun’s versatility felt like something no one could match.
He found paths better than Jinhyeon Park, who was their guide, and was even good at detection.
Not only that, but while Hanalin and Jiyuchan’s combat power alone was already astonishing, Dohyun was even better than those two, so he couldn’t help but appear as a monster rather than a person.
Seeing this, Ihae-in said.
“Those people would adapt well even on Basement Level 2.”
“…They probably would.”
“There really are people who are on a completely different level.”
“When the difference is that big, I don’t even feel jealous.”
“…Would the kids at the dormitory believe us if we told them this?”
At Yejin Han’s last comment, everyone unconsciously shook their heads.
They probably wouldn’t believe it. Even they, who were seeing it with their own eyes, found it hard to believe, so who would believe them if they told this story? Moreover, since Ihae-in was firmly convinced of his misunderstanding, he told his party members.
“Just in case, let’s not talk about Minwoo’s party anywhere.”
“…Alright.”
“There’s nowhere to talk about it anyway.”
“I’ll be careful.”
“Got it.”
Everyone nodded and agreed to Ihae-in’s words.
Ihae-in had told them to keep quiet just in case, worried that if information about those agents spread, it might bring disadvantages to themselves as well.
Of course, Dohyun’s party, who had no idea about this fact, was quickly catching monsters and bickering among themselves.
“I caught two more this time.”
“You blocked my magic!”
“Either way, I caught them.”
“Geez, what does it matter who catches more?”
“It’s important!” “It’s important!”
Between Hanalin and Jiyuchan, Dohyun was shaking his head tiredly with an expression that seemed to say ‘why are they like this?’
* * *
When the hunting ended and they returned to Safe Zone Sector 53 Corridor, Dohyun took charge of guiding the way to check if he had accurately grasped the route. His guidance was precise.
When Dohyun opened the door and entered Sector 53 Corridor, Jinhyeon Park, who was following behind, hung his head dejectedly with a somewhat deflated expression.
It was natural for him to feel deflated seeing Dohyun, who had just risen to D-rank, find paths faster than himself, when he had spent almost a year learning to navigate those routes well.
“…My one year…”
“…It’s okay. You’re doing well too.”
Yejin Han comforted Jinhyeon Park from behind as he looked dejected, and everyone was similarly admiring Dohyun’s abilities.
To think he could be that good at finding directions.
Though they were admiring him, Dohyun scratched his head as if embarrassed.
‘I can’t help but be good at finding directions.’
Dohyun was structured to be naturally good at finding directions from the start.
Of course, Dohyun did have a pathfinding skill.
But his overpowered Analysis was even providing navigation, so the pathfinding skill was practically unnecessary.
He felt a bit sorry for noticing Jinhyeon Park’s dejection, but what could he do? He was lucky to be born with a cheat-like trait.
Just as Dohyun was about to guide them back to the dormitory without much concern, he witnessed a strange sight.
Not just Dohyun, but everyone had to make puzzled expressions at the bizarre scene, all because of the elves, known as one of the superior races.
Seeing elves wasn’t strange since they could be encountered often, but their behavior was what was odd.
They were using spirits like detection dogs, having them search for something, and seeing this made Dohyun think of a possibility.
‘Are they looking for me?’
He wondered if they were doing this to find the culprit who killed Jerpael in the E-rank Zone.
Since he had essentially killed Jerpael through Agni NTR, he wondered if they were releasing spirits like that to find someone who could handle spirits, making him think he should distance himself.
Still, since he hadn’t made a contract with a spirit, it should be fine, Dohyun thought when.
A group of elves approached Dohyun’s party and spoke to them.
“Wait there, inferior races, stop.”
At their authoritative attitude as if they were some kind of police, Ihae-in and everyone else frowned.
Sector 53 Corridor wasn’t particularly owned by anyone and was a place everyone used freely, yet they had such a domineering attitude.
Ihae-in stepped forward as the representative and stood before the elf group to ask.
“What’s the matter?”
Though he was speaking respectfully, his tone was quite stern, which seemed to greatly irritate the one who appeared to be the leader of the elf group, making him frown.
However, as if there wasn’t time for that now, he said.
“We’re going to conduct a brief inspection.”
As Ihae-in tried to block him due to his attitude of speaking without asking permission, and the atmosphere turned menacing, Dohyun could see.
The spirit that the elf group had brought forward flinched when it saw him, then looked at him with wistful eyes. And with a resolute expression, it turned its body to try to move away from Dohyun’s group.
As if it didn’t want to stay in this place any longer.
The one who seemed to be the leader of the elf group cleanly ignored Ihae-in and looked back at the Spirit Mage.
Then the Spirit Mage answered.
“It seems it doesn’t want to stay here. It looks better to search elsewhere.”
“Well, there’s no way inferior race humans would have high spirit affinity. Let’s go.”
As they said that and the elf group moved away, Ihae-in’s party members glared at the elves with incredulous expressions.
Coming over arbitrarily saying they’d conduct an inspection and then leaving arbitrarily – it was an attitude that wouldn’t be strange to find disgusting.
“Really now, who approached first.”
“How are all elves like that without exception.”
“Really disgusting.”
“Exactly.”
As they were each complaining like that, Dohyun scratched his head while watching the spirit that, even while moving away, kept looking at Dohyun with wistful eyes until the end and secretly waved its hand without the elves knowing.
Should this be considered the spirit helping him?
As he stayed still with that thought, Hanalin approached Dohyun and asked.
“Could it be because of that thing we caught last time?”
At Hanalin’s cautious question, Dohyun also nodded and answered.
“Most likely.”
“…We should be careful.”
“I’ll be cautious too.”
As Jiyuchan, who had overheard their conversation, answered like that, Dohyun looked at the spirit moving away as if it was fine.
And he spoke as if to reassure them.
“Probably nothing will happen. They just left like that just now.”
“That’s true.”
“Hmm, but it wouldn’t hurt to be careful.”
Hanalin agreed with Dohyun’s words and nodded, and though Jiyuchan spoke like that, he also had a quite relieved expression.
Dohyun found it both amusing and puzzling to see the elves searching around like that.
‘Why are they bothering to look for me?’
It didn’t seem to be simply because he killed Jerpael.
Though they were said to have strong bonds, that was only regarding the World Tree, and they weren’t the type to care that much just because a fellow elf was killed.
Since it was even stranger for that reason, he thought he should find out the reason if he got the chance later.
As he was about to return to the dormitory, he thought of the spirit that had tried so wistfully to distance itself from him until the end and thought to himself.
‘It really is cute though. Won’t a spirit summoning circle drop somewhere?’
Dohyun unconsciously recalled the elf group that had already moved away and had such a thought for a moment.
‘Would one come out if I hunt elves?’
At Dohyun’s appearance having such a chilling thought, Hanalin and Jiyuchan momentarily flinched and trembled, turning their heads to look at Dohyun, but since he had returned to a normal expression, they had no choice but to let it pass.
‘I felt that characteristic feeling of Dohyun oppa….’
‘…Was it just my imagination?’
Somehow, the two whose senses had become infinitely sharp when it came to Dohyun, along with Ihae-in’s Party, were able to return to the Dormitory together.
